Syracuse, NY - The state Supreme Court Appellate Division in Rochester heard arguments today in the Erin Maxwell child abuse murder case out of Oswego County.
Syracuse lawyer John Cirando said he argued that the murder conviction against Alan Jones should be overturned and the case dismissed. Jones, 30, was found guilty in 2009 of second-degree murder for killing Maxwell, his 11-year-old stepsister, in her Palermo home.
Cirando said he argued that all the prosecution evidence tended to support a theory that Jones intentionally killed Maxwell by strangling her. But the prosecution only accused Jones of acting with depraved indifference to human life and recklessly killing the victim.
The court should overturn the conviction because the prosecution evidence did not support the charge under that depraved indifference theory, Cirando contended.
Additionally, Cirando said he argued that there is no alternative for the court but to dismiss the case.
Because the trial judge told the jurors they had to find Jones did not act intentionally before they could vote to convict on the depraved indifference charge, the appellate court cannot send the case back to Oswego County to be retried as an intentional murder, the lawyer said.
That would violate Jones' double-jeopardy rights, Cirando said.
According to Cirando, District Attorney Gregory Oakes argued for the prosecution that the depraved indifference conviction should be upheld based on the evidence presented to the jury.
Jones is serving 25 years to life in state prison for the crime. The appellate court in Rochester could issue a decision within four to eight weeks based on today's legal arguments before a four-judge panel of the court.

Chris Reilly is a Republican running for the Congress District 4 seat (current office holder Rep. Todd Platts is retiring).
The most pressing issue facing America is our government spending and crippling debt. This is an issue that not only affects our generation, but our children and children's children. I cannot bear to think of leaving my children with more than $43,000 of federal government debt each.
I believe that political insiders on all higher levels of government have forgotten about the average citizen and should think more like a family when it comes to spending. I know that the Reilly family has to balance our budget every week, so why doesn't the government?
We are facing more than $15 trillion in debt and every day look more and more like Greece. We need to stop spending and stop spending now. If I am elected, I will work with colleagues such as Sen. Pat Toomey, who has endorsed my candidacy, to balance the budget by cutting spending, putting in place a spending cap and putting forth a balanced budget amendment.
As most Americans know, we do not have a revenue problem in this country, we have a spending problem. Here in York County, as commissioner, I fought to balance the budget every year in office, held the line on taxes and even eliminated one tax entirely. If chosen to be the next congressman from the 4th District, I will fight even harder to restore America to economic greatness.

An estimated 6,500 runners and walkers are expected to participate in Saturday's Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at the state Fairgrounds in Geddes.
They also probably can give that many reasons why they're doing it.
As of Wednesday, registrations for the 19th annual fund- and awareness-raising event for breast cancer research were up 10 percent from last year, race Director Deb Nosky said.
She speculated that signups may vault higher thanks to Angelina Jolie. The Oscar-winning actress announced in a New York Times article that she had undergone a double mastectomy because she carried a gene that made her more prone to breast cancer -- the disease that claimed her mother at age 56.
Or perhaps they are inspired by Susan Wolfram's story.
Wolfram, known to family and friends as "Susie Sunshine," was 45 when she died from breast cancer on May 9. The West Genesee girls lacrosse team already had dedicated their game that evening to Wolfram. At 6:15 p.m., about the moment she passed, a double rainbow appeared over the playing field.
About 600 breast cancer survivors are expected at the race. They have their own stories.
So may runners and walkers who are honoring the struggles -- and for some, the memories -- of mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and friends.
Opening ceremonies for the Race for the Cure are at 8 a.m. Saturday.
Will you be participating? Please tell us why in the comments below.

TUPPER LAKE - The Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce is trying to put together a fundraiser for the search for missing teen Colin Gillis.
The chamber has 200 paper lanterns, which a person can put a tea light in and the heat will make the lantern rise into the air.
Chamber officials want to sell the lanterns and light them on the shore of Raquette Pond at the Municipal Park at an event Wednesday night. The money would go to establish a Colin Gillis Fund.
Village officials said at their meeting Monday night that the state Department of Environmental Conservation's seasonal burn ban, which went into effect Friday, might get in the way of the plan. Tupper Lake Events Coordinator Faith Bedore has been talking about the issue with the DEC, said village Clerk Mary Casagrain.
Fire Chief Mark Picerno said a fire truck will be there in case anything happens.
Department of Public Works Superintendent Mike Sparks said that it's unlikely there would be any problems. The candles that are put in the lanterns are small and burn out while they're up in the air.
The village board gave the event preliminary approval as long as Bedore could work it out with the DEC.
Picerno sent an email to the press later Monday night with the burn ban regulations. They include exceptions for things like small cooking fires, ceremonial or celebratory bonfires, and campfires less than 3 feet in height and 4 feet in length, width or diameter. Picerno said he believes the lanterns would be well within those exceptions.
"I would think so. It's celebratory," Picerno said this morning. "I don't think there's a danger. ... They go up a mile, as high as a mile, then after that they just float back to earth."
The lanterns are made out of rice paper and are biodegradable.
Since the 18-year-old Tupper Lake man went missing a week ago, Tupper Lakers have been lighting candles and leaving their porch lights on to light the way home for the college student, an idea the Tupper Lake Moose Club spread through Facebook.
If the event goes through, it will begin at 8:30 p.m. at the Municipal Park, and the lantern lighting will start at 9 p.m.

Controversial legislation to allow concealed weapons on Arizona university and college campuses is dead, the proposal's sponsor said Tuesday.
State Sen. Ron Gould, a Republican from Lake Havasu City, told The Associated Press that there is not enough support among lawmakers for the bill.
"Oh, it's dead," Gould said, adding later: "I think they just got weak-kneed because it's an election year, and the universities put on a full-court press because they knew that if I could get it up to the governor, the governor was willing to sign it."
The measure, which would have allowed gun owners with concealed-carry permits to bring their firearms on campus, drew strong opposition from university officials and police chiefs, among other critics.
Colleges and universities would have only been able to ban guns if they provided secure storage lockers.
Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a version of Gould's bill last year. He has said this year's version addressed Brewer's concerns, but Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson declined to comment on whether the governor would have signed this year's bill. He noted that it had not reached her desk and gone through her office's process to review bills.
The Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state university system, released a report last month estimating that, under Gould's proposal, it would cost millions of dollars for the universities to continue to ban guns.
"I don't think that had any effect, because I think that was a bogus report," Gould said. "Apparently, they were remodeling the fronts of buildings with lockers, which was ridiculous."
Gould, who is running for Congress in Arizona's newly drawn 4th Congressional District, is barred by term limits from returning to the Senate next year. Gould said he's sure that someone will try to resurrect the campus-carry proposal next year.
Mike Gardener, a lobbyist for several community colleges, said he won't accept the proposal is dead until the session ends.
"Nothing is really dead around here."
Another major firearms bill is pending the Senate. That proposal would generally allow people to carry guns into public buildings unless there is on-site security.
That bill is not dead, though it hasn't advanced in weeks, said Rep. David Gowan, a Sierra Vista Republican who sponsored the proposal.
And a lobbyist for an Arizona group that advocates for gun owners' rights said a recent alert it sent to its members resulted in a flood of emails urging lawmakers to advance the bill.
"We got it a little boost, so it should be moving soon," said John Wentling, vice president of the Arizona Citizens Defense League.
Gowan's bill would generally allow firearms to be barred from public buildings or events only if there are either armed law enforcement officers or armed security guards with metal detectors and X-ray machines present. It would also require the space to have signs and secure gun storage lockers.
The bill is opposed by the League of Arizona Cities and Towns. It has already been approved by the House.

Throughout the NBA's history, there has been a plethora of above average shooting guards, and it seems as though all teams alike have presented at least one or two that have made a lasting impact on the team.
No one has verified this statement more than Michael Jordan, and his supreme ability coupled with his will to win every single night easily makes him the Bulls' selection.
Michael, as well as others, got me thinking: who is every single team's greatest shooting guard?
In keeping up with my series on the "Greatest Ever", I present to you that same question regarding two guards.
With that in mind, I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading!
Greatest at Each Position for Each Team Series:
Point Guard—March 24th
Shooting Guard—March 28th
Small Forward—March 31st
Power Forward—April 4th

ALLEN PARK -- Saying the Detroit Lions struggled to keep their secondary healthy last season is an understatement.
Thursday saw the return of corner Ron Bartell, who injured his shoulder this past Saturday and has not seen the practice field since. Bartell's presence was absolutely necessary as the Lions were already missing safety Louis Delmas (precautionary), corner Jonté Green (hamstring), and corner Chris Greenwood (hamstring) for their third of eight padded practices.
"I've never had an issue with my shoulder before," Bartell said. "It was a fluke thing. I was diving to make a play on the ball and it kind of slipped out. But it's feeling a lot better now, like I said I was just glad to be able to get back out there and move around.
"You don't want to miss practice and get behind, not behind mentally, but physically, not doing the movements, it takes a little while to get caught up. Just being able to get back out there, move around, it was great."
Despite Bartell's missed time, head coach Jim Schwartz says he's been a valuable asset to the Lions' secondary, whose revolving door nature yearns for stability, even if it's merely in leadership form.
"He's been really good in his group," Schwartz said. "He's provided great leadership, he's been talking to the other guys, he's found a way to contribute even though he's been injured for these last three or four days. It's good to get him back on the field in a playing role rather than just a mentoring role."
Bartell's time on the field Thursday included first-team reps during 7-on-7 drills, opposite starting corner Chris Houston. Bartell came in for rookie corner Darius Slay, who missed time on Thursday after tweaking his ankle during 1-on-1s. Slay tried to walk it off, but eventually had the ankle taped and spent some time on the sidelines.
"That's what our job requires. I mean, one guy goes out the next guy's got to step up and be ready," Bartell said. "In this league you're always one play away from being a starter. We're trying to hit that home with the young guys. They're out there battling and I think they're taking that in stride. I think the group could be pretty good; we just need some health."
Bartell also received the majority of the first-team reps this offseason. The eight-year veteran, who played his high school ball for Renaissance (Detroit), was scooped up by the Lions after he was released by the Oakland Raiders late last season. He appeared in one game for Detroit in 2012, starting the team's season finale against the Chicago Bears. He tallied nine tackles and broke up a pass in the loss.
Bartell isn't alone is the leadership department. The acquisition of Glover Quin continues to be talked about around the locker room.
"Great addition," Bartell said. "One thing about him, he's consistent. Everything he does is consistent. He's consistent with his attitude, his approach to the game and practice. He's a quite guy, but I think a lot of guys tend to follow him and follow his lead. He's a leader by example. He brings stability back there and that's what you want."
It's also what the Detroit Lions need.

TAMPA, Fla. – Kevin Youkilis said a sensible thing on Thursday afternoon. He told a group of reporters that he would "always be a Red Sock," a reference, he thought, to his nine big-league seasons and two World Series championships in Boston.
This, theoretically, upset some Yankees fans. Youkilis clarified his comments this morning.
"It wasn't meant to be anything like 'My heart's in Boston,'" he said. "Because honestly, it wasn't there. It's about 'My heart's in New York.' I'm excited. I'm excited to live in the city. I'm excited about the whole experience. My wife and kids are so pumped up about it."
He added, "I'm a Yankee today. I'm excited. I'm proud to be a Yankee. I'm proud to be there on Opening Day and play against a team I spent all those seasons with. Trust me: if you my personality and know who I am, it doesn't matter what team is in my way. I want to beat everyone of them. I want to beat the Red Sox, because I want to start off with a win in Yankee Stadium."
Also, good news: Youkilis shook hands with former foe Joba Chamberlain this morning. Both said they discussed Chamberlain's mustache.
"It was fine," Chamberlain said. "He's smaller than I thought. I thought he was bigger. Because you don't really see him that close when you're on the field, in the uniform. But it was a handshake, 'good to see you, glad you're here.' And he didn't have a mustache. So he said he was going to grow one. I guess the next competition you guys are going to talk about is our mustaches."
A hug is scheduled for Saturday.

Anyone rented a car lately at LAX?
I'm fresh off two bad experiences at Los Angeles International that made me wonder if the rental car companies are purposefully trying to make life as miserable as possible for customers who wander onto their lots without a RapidRez or Wizard number.
I've probably rented cars at LAX three dozen times over the years, and I've never seen anything to match the lines at the counters last week. At Budget, there was at least a 45-minute wait on Thursday. There were 30 people in line when I arrived at 1:30 p.m., and four people at the counter, one of whom spent at least a half hour working on a lone customer. When I finally reached the counter, I asked the Budget agent what was gong on. "We weren't expecting this kind of crowd," she said.
Right. Those computer reservation systems are still fresh out of the box.
Whatever. Maybe just a bad day. But when I returned to LAX on Saturday to rent my son a car from Avis -- unlike Budget, it rents to drivers under 25 -- we ran into the same thing. Twenty people in line. Two people at the counter. Thirty minutes down the drain.
So, what's going on? In this ongoing recession, are Budget and Avis simply trying to save money by staffing their counters with a skeleton crew? That would seem to be self-defeating. I'll never rent from Budget again at LAX ...
Unless, of course, I have Fastbreak, which means that I can hop from the bus into my car and skip the counter altogether.
That Budget program, by the way, requires three rentals a year to maintain membership, which means it offers two sizable advantages for the rental agency. You feel obligated to rent from Budget ... and when you do, everything is done on line so they don't have to pay some minimum-wage yahoo to ask for your driver's license and credit card at the counter.
Odds are, I'm thinking too much. The rental car companies are probably simply using TSA at Portland International Airport as their model of efficiency. The security lines at PDX are ridiculous because TSA doesn't have enough staff, period.
But these are interesting times. And it may be possible that Budget and Avis are trying to make their airport counter experience -- at LAX, at least -- so unpleasant that you avoid it at all cost. And if you choose to avoid it by joining their frequent-rental programs, they make money not only through the additional certainty you'll rent from them again, but because they cut back on their counter employees.

Idaho football interim coach Jason Gesser and Athletic Director Rob Spear discuss the replacement of former coach Robb Akey, expectations for the remainder of the 2012 season and the Vandals' coaching outlook in the future.
Idaho coach Robb Akey terminated21 Oct
Idaho football coach Robb Akey has been terminated effective immediately and Offensive Coordinator Jason Gesser will take over as head coach on an interim basis, the athletic department announced Sunday.
"The President (Duane Nellis) and I believe it is important to make this move now so we can immediately begin the process of hiring a new coach for the 2013 season," Athletic Director Rob Spear said. "We appreciate Coach Akey's enthusiasm and dedication to the University of Idaho but this is the right move at this time."
The termination comes on the heels of Akey's 70th game as coach of the Vandals, a 70-28 loss at La. Tech. Akey is 20-50 in his five-and-a-half seasons with Idaho and 1-7 this season.
Spear said a search for Akey's replacement will begin immediately.
News conference audio —
Rob Spear
Jason Gesser
Akey signed a contract extension in June 2010 following the Vandals' Humanitarian Bowl victory. The extension was set to extend through 2014. Per terms of the agreement, if terminated, Akey would receive his base annual salary of $165,796.80 per year "until the terms of this agreement ends or until (Akey) obtains employment, which occurs first."
In Akey's third season with the Vandals, he led the team to a 8-5 record which included a Humanitarian Bowl victory, Idaho's second ever bowl victory.
Notable players to play under Akey include San Francisco 49ers left guard Mike Iupati, Houston Texans safety Shiloh Keo and former Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Enderle.
Idaho starting quarterback Dominique Blackman along with other Vandals took to Twitter following Akey's termination to express their feelings.

Gesser, who has been on the Idaho staff for two seasons, spent time as a quarterback in the NFL and Canadian Football League after playing his college football at Washington State. Before coming to Idaho, Gesser coached the Eastside Catholic High School Crusaders from Sammamish, Wash., for two seasons.
Monday Akey-isms – 10/15 – "Consistency" is the word15 Oct
There wasn't a ton addressed this Monday at the news conference, following a 38-7 loss at Texas State which lacked any real storyline from the Vandal perspective. Idaho appeared to get out of the game without any injuries of note, as well. Since this was a shorter news conference than most the format for this post will change a little bit, and we'll just jump right in to the comments from Akey.
On the game itself, it was missed opportunities and the inability to string together consistency in all three phases in the game is what Idaho coach Robb Akey lamented about Saturday's blowout loss at Texas State. Idaho had gone in to the half down 14-7, scoring the last touchdown of the half. Texas State then scored 24 unanswered in the second half.
"It was a game of opportunity we had plenty of," he said. "It was a one score game for a long, long period of time. That tells me we had opportunities in all three phases of the game to match the score and put ourselves up. That's what we didn't get done."
Monday Akey-isms 10/8 – "Take what they give you until they give you the game"8 Oct
It wasn't quite ideal, it wasn't perfect, and it surely wasn't pretty, but dangit, it was a win.
That's about the attitude Idaho coach Robb Akey had Monday when addressing the media about Idaho's 26-18 victory over New Mexico State Saturday at the Kibbie Dome.
"There's so much more that we can do well. We're going to finish things better…You're going to continue to have the ability to grow and build," Akey said.
New Mexico State is a pretty bad team, and they played like it. Now six games through the season the Aggies are the only team in the WAC without a victory over an FBS school, providing both Texas-San Antonio and Idaho with WAC-opener victories.
Idaho also took advantage of playing the struggling Aggies to push the ball down the field in the passing game with varying success. Idaho quarterback Dominique Blackman said after the game the plan was to open the playbook up because the team felt the North Carolina game exposed Idaho's over-use of the short passing game.
Better Know a Foe – Week 6 – Welcoming alumni back to Moscow4 Oct
Welcome back to the hundreds, or thousands, of University of Idaho alumni making the trek back to the Palouse for the weekend. The weekend festivities will be plenty, though the one that we all specifically have our eyes on is of course the football game on Saturday.
Though, it may be safe to say that the football program saw better days while some of those alumni were in Moscow.
The Idaho football team that will greet the Homecoming crowd sit at an embarrassing 0-5. Getting blown out of the water in two money games, losing at home to an FCS school and relinquishing a fourth quarter lead to Wyoming to lose in overtime accentuate how the season has gone. Oh, yeah, there is that whole conference-less thing Idaho has going for it as well.
There is good news, however! That news comes in the form of Idaho's opponent, the 1-4 New Mexico State Aggies, on a four game losing streak after winning their opener against Big Sky Sacramento State. They also are without a conference next season.
Monday Akey-isms: 9/24 – Team growth, packing the Dome, travel and more24 Sep
All throughout the fall the emphasis of this Idaho football team was supposed to be finish. From the t-shirts, to throwing four fingers in the air during the fourth quarter of every game, and practice for that matter. Akey even said he used the word over 700 times during his media sessions at WAC media days.
But it was the same song and dance for the Vandals, relinquishing a fourth quarter lead to the Wyoming Cowboys and falling in overtime. Quarterback Dominique Blackman's fumble on the one yard early in the fourth quarter seemed to be the turning point. It turned an opportunity for Idaho to go up two touchdowns in to an opportunity that Wyoming seized to tie the game.
With Idaho sitting at 0-4 for the first time since Nick Holt was the head coach (2005) it would imaginably be hard to stay positive, but that's what Robb Akey is choosing to do.
"We're one outcome of a play away, one inch away and I got to make sure our guys see that. I'm sick for our players to not have the win coming out of that game…We played that game well," Akey said. "You look at the growth that our team has made and that's what I'm going to focus at."
Those positives Akey focused on was mainly on the offensive side of the ball. The offense totaled over 500 yards of offense and scored a season high 37 points, which is more than Idaho had scored the previous three games combined (30).
Those positives will need to continue for Idaho from here. They'll play on the road at North Carolina next week before coming home to face New Mexico State at the Kibbie Dome during Homecoming weekend.
Monday Akey-isms: 9/17 – Anticipating a breakthrough against the Pokes17 Sep
For 30 minutes last Saturday night in Baton Rouge the Vandals seemed to be, somewhat, going tit for tat with the No. 2 (or No. 3, depending on your preferred poll) team in the nation. Twice the Vandals pulled to within a touchdown in the first half after LSU had ample opportunities to put the game away. Twice the Vandals battled back and made a statement. Both the 94-yard interception return from Gary Walker that set up Dominique Blackman's first touchdown pass of the game to make it 14-7, as well as the seven-play 81-yard drive capped off with a 22 yard touchdown pass to Jahrie Level that made it 21-14.
Unfortunately for Idaho, football games are sixty minutes.
Idaho went in to the half down 28-14, but 35 unanswered second half points from the Tigers gave everybody the game that was pretty much expected.
"There are things within the game that we're going to build from. Battles within the battle that if you can do it part of the time I think you have an opportunity to do it all the time," coach Robb Akey said. "I'm not big on saying 'this was great' because if it was great the score wouldn't have read like it did." Continue reading

Having a hard time getting that inspection sticker to stay stuck to your windshield?
You aren't alone. More than a million motorists statewide have been issued defective ones from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Bill Di Biasi of Todt Hill realized he was one of them when he had his windows open on a warm day, only to see something flying around inside the car out of the corner of his eye. He grabbed it before it flew out the window.
Then, his wife's sticker started to loosen. "They all started to peel off," he said.
In contrast, last year's stickers are almost too sticky, said Guy Buono, of Technical Auto Group Inc. in New Dorp, which performs state inspections.
"We break razor blades trying to get those off, and the new ones go flying out the window," Buono said.
According to the DMV, the manufacturer, Secure Mark Decal was awarded a two-year $709,000 contract to make more than 13 million 2009 and 2010 stickers.
The company identified a problem with the adhesive after about 2.6 million potentially defective stickers had already been given out.
Once the issue was discovered, any potentially defective stickers were pulled from circulation, according to DMV spokesman Ken Brown. Based on quality control tests, it's estimated that about half of those are duds. The DMV is working with the company to seek restitution.
If a sticker comes unstuck, drivers can re-attach it with clear tape or a small amount of clear adhesive, but not so much that it won't be able to be removed at the inspection station when its time to stick the next one on.
The DMV has notified police about the problem and advised cops to use discretion when ticketing for missing stickers, in light of the problem.

What looked to be a blowout became a dog fight as Water Valley held on for the 36-33 win.
The Blue Devils led 28-0 two plays into the second quarter, amassing more than 230 yards of offense. Devin Wilson led the Bulldogs back, scoring four touchdowns over the final three quarters.
Braudrique Boyd scampered 90 yards for a touchdown reception for the Bulldogs.
"I'm proud of these guys. It would have been easy to fold up and quit but the Bulldogs put in effort on every play and every down. We had some breakdowns in the fourth quarter, but this is something we can build on. Great effort and attitude," Bulldogs head coach Ron Price said.

For the third consecutive year, Davenport University has been awarded the designation of a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs. The 2013 Military Friendly Schools list will honor the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members and veterans as students.
G.I. Jobs chooses each school on the list after considering reviews by current veteran students at universities across the country.
G.I. Jobs reports that 8 million military members are seeking a school, making it an important market segment for Davenport University.
"Davenport University is proud to continue recognition as a G.I. Jobs Military Friendly School," said Scott Lemmon, director of admissions and partnerships. "Davenport strives to continue and expand the benefits and services offered to military students."
In addition to benefits for military service members and veterans, Davenport has a military admissions team comprised of veterans who can relate to America's heroes on a personal level, university officials said.

'Streetscaping' invites visitors to linger downtown
New benches and trash receptacles will be installed in Sequim's Downtown core July 31, and Thursday, Aug. 1, as part of the Downtown Streetscaping project, which also includes signage and a new way-finding system to be installed later. Two of the eggplant-colored benches will be at the city's new property at Sequim Avenue and Washington Street, with three others at Seal Street Park. Ten trash receptacles will be replaced and three added. In the future, the city will add pots with trees and flowers as "softscaping" at the seating areas.
"One of the objectives of the project was to create 'hospitality' areas in the downtown core to make visitors feel more comfortable and invite them to stay longer," said Communications and Marketing Director Barbara Hanna. "We've also added eggplant bike racks and will replace the trash receptacle at Heritage Park to carry the eggplant theme through the downtown core."
Fifty thousand dollars from the City of Sequim Lodging Tax fund was approved in the 2013 budget for the Downtown Streetscaping project. To view the complete Downtown Streetscaping presentation, visit www.sequimwa.gov/documentcenter/view/3515. Contact Barbara Hanna at 681-3422 or email@example.com with questions.

David Enrich says that the new big idea over at Citigroup is "to focus on wholesale banking for large corporate clients and retail banking for customers in selected markets around the world". If that ever happens, I have the perfect name for the new entity: Citicorp. It could even do a lot worse than to re-hire John Reed as its CEO; at least he has a proven ability to run such a thing.
The problem, of course, is how on earth to get there from here. No one has any particular interest in buying the other disparate elements of Citigroup, from Primerica to the credit-card operations and the investment bank, and it might be easier, quicker, and more elegant to simply spin them off to shareholders as standalone operations unburdened with much if any debt.
But that would imply that rump Citi -- Citicorp -- would be the "bad bank", rather than everything else, which seems to be the present idea.
If you are going to create a bad bank, though, putting the dodgy assets in Citicorp seems to me to be much more sensible than trying to attach them to anything else. After all, Citicorp was insolvent once before, during the debt crisis of the 1980s, and it managed to emerge from that crisis, thanks partly to Reed's leadership. Maybe he could manage the the same feat again.

Another hiker here! I remember when Woodinville was pastures with one skinny road going through it and Molbak's was just a few greenhouses. Heck, I used to babysit the Molbak kids! My hometown is Bothell where I went to high school and met my hubby.
My husband, who is doing this journey with me, is very much a sugar fiend. We've been at this four months and he no longer wants to eat the sugary stuff. His cardiologist is beyond pleased that he is eating this way. As for me, you and I wear the same size jeans but even the longs are too short for me. This way of eating is something we'll be sticking with for life as we both feel so much better on it. He has dropped 25 + pounds by not eating sugar and grains where I am down 18. I NEVER tell him what he can and cannot eat. He makes his own choices!
Glad to see you here!

[Verse 1]
Double D
Big full breasts on my baby
(Yo we going to Florida)
Triple weight
Couldn't weigh the love I've got for the girl
And I just wanna know
Why you ain't been going to work
Boss ain't working you like this
He can't take care of you like this
Now you're lost
Lost in the heat of it all
Girl you know you're lost
Lost in the thrill of it all
Miami, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Spain, lost
Los Angeles, India, lost on a train, lost
"Lost" is the fourth single from Frank Ocean's critically acclaimed debut studio album, Channel Orange. The protagonist in the song is a drug supplier who uses his girlfriend as a drug mule. His lover gets lost in the intensity of the jet-setting lifestyle of drug trafficking and subsequent money and lavish gifts that come along with it. He believes that one day she will live a normal life away from this criminal lifestyle, but it must come after one last smuggle, which leads to another one last smuggle.

ON Saturday last fire broke out on the ground floor of 13 Riversdale Road, West Kirby.
This house is made up of three individual flats, and at the time six of us were in occupation when the fire broke out in the electric board.
The emergency services arrived in no time at all, and I would like to take the opportunity to 'thank you' to all three services and each and everybody involved in making sure we were safe.
Never having been in an emergency before I was truly impressed with the care and concern shown by all three services.
I cannot thank them enough.
Thank you to all personnel involved – you really acted quickly and competently, and in particular Constable 5746 who even called into the hospital to see if I was alright.
Thank you so much.

The Cabinet on Tuesday approved a fiscal year 2012-13 work plan for conservation land purchases with 21 projects involving conservation around military bases and springs and other water features.
As the Cabinet approved the plan without comment, environmentalists were urging state leaders to support new spending for land acquisition and to move more aggressively towards new land purchases.

If I'm not mistaken, Ethan Green was a comic strip in the gay papers in the 9o's, no?Let's see, Sordid Lives, Edward II, Salmonberries, and Wonderland (British 90s one, not the more recent one) come to mind, along with My Beautiful Laundrette.
Ethan Greene played at a local gay film festival but I couldn't go because I had to work. I love Ethan Greene the comic.Gay movies I have enjoyed include Jeffrey, Bear Cub, The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I still have not seen Brokeback Mountain. I recently rented Transamerica and thought it was pretty good.
The final scene in "Beautiful Thing" is so powerful. I can just imagine myself in the middle of that, with not a care in the world. And Cass Elliott serenading us, of course.But then i'm pretty gruff on the outside, and oh-so-sensitive on the inside ;)John

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- It appears the Alabama High School reclassification will mean a higher price tag for the City of Birmingham to host the Alabama High School Athletic Association's state basketball championships beginning in 2016.
The addition of Class 7A means that the AHSAA's branded "Final 48" tournament will now morph into a "Final 56" to cover an additional eight semifinalists from the newly expanded seventh classification.
The Birmingham City Council passed an item through an agenda on Monday with a consent decree that calls for an additional $25,000 in city funds to host that tournament under a plan that will extend the contract at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Arena for the years 2016-2020.
The measure will have no budget impact until the 2016 fiscal year. The host fee for the Final 56 will then increase from $150,000 to $175,000 per year. The Mayor's Office submitted the request and its passage on Monday means the item will go before the full council next week for approval.
Does that mean an extra eight teams costs the city another $25,000 to host the tournament? No, it does not.
AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese explained the fee increase in detail Tuesday morning when contacted by AL.com for a telephone interview.
"The rent on the facility goes up," Savarese said. "What we're saying is whatever the city is paying us right now we want the same difference. Not a penny more. So it has nothing to do with the expansion of the teams. It is more that the rent at the BJCC is going up. By the subsidy that they pay us, we use that to pay the rent for the BJCC. We didn't want to take a loss because they were increasing the rent."
Savarese said there would be no difference in money to the association. The additional $25,000 per fiscal year is to cover the increase in rental fees the AHSAA needs to rent the BJCC for its state basketball championships.

We admit it: We had fun researching this story. When charged to find the region's best seafood dives, we jumped in, belly first. With such restaurants, sometimes there's a fine line between yummy and slummy. First and foremost, we made sure our choices were places we'd take our mamas. Each also had to have great food, an unforgettable atmosphere, and had to be either on the water or a casting net's toss away from it. Here are a few of our favorite spots we know you'll enjoy.

Cooks' garden stands as legacy
DEERFIELD - It was her love of history and a desire to learn to cook as it was done in the 18th century that first brought Margaret Quinn Orloske to Historic Deerfield.
A resident of Windsor, Conn., Orloske, with her husband, Duane, came to the open hearth cooking lessons at Historic Deerfield and the couple visited every few months, often taking note of architectural details so they could make improvements on their own historic home.
After Orloske was killed in New York City while working as a corporate librarian for Marsh & McLennan in the first World Trade Center tower struck by a hijacked airliner on Sept. 11, 2001, calls from Orloske's friends, co-workers and neighbors started coming into Historic Deerfield.
They knew her love of open hearth cooking and gardening and wanted to make contributions in her memory.
Eventually, those contributions topped $10,000 and yesterday, the Cooks' Garden, a simply designed garden with nine raised beds behind Historic Deerfield's Hall Tavern, was dedicated in Orloske's memory.
"It is so fitting that we are here today to officially open the Cooks' Garden and dedicate it to Margaret's memory and the memory of the souls of the nearly 3,000 people who were killed with her on Sept. 11, 2001," Duane Orloske told several dozen friends, family members and colleagues of the Orloskes who gathered for the dedication.
"Fitting not only because gardening was one of Margaret's passions, but also because it will provide something that Margaret provided to everyone around her. It will connect us," said Orloske, who is associate dean of student affairs at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Conn.
Historic Deerfield opened its open hearth cooking program nearly 20 years ago when a small group of women known as the "Sooty Seven" began training to teach others how to cook over an open fire, said Anne Digan Lanning, curator of interpretation at Historic Deerfield....

The conventional way of doing this recipe is with long grain rice but I enjoyed it without it. It goes nicely with a bit of feta cheese on the side.
Serves 2
Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 1:30 hours
2 beef tomatoes
2 large green peppers
200 grams minced (ground) beef
200 grams minced (ground) pork
1/2 small aubergine (eggplant) finely chopped
1/2 can chopped tomatoes
1 onion
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
12 cup finely chopped mint
olive oil
Preheat oven at 180, Gas Mark 4, 350F
Wash tomatoes and peppers. Cut the tops of the tomatoes horizontally and scoop the inside with a small spoon and save on the side in a bowl. Scoop the tomatoes carefully so you don't ruin their form.
Wash and cut horizontally the top of the green peppers discarding the seeds.
Mash the tomatoes so you have a nice liquid consistency and add to it the tomato paste. Mix well.
Heat olive oil on a medium heat the and brown the minced beef and pork, the onion and aubergine. When the mince has browned add the canned tomatoes and cook until most the sauce has thickened for about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the chopped parsley and mint.
Use the mince mixture to fill up the tomatoes and peppers. Cover the vegetables with cut tops.
Pour the tomato and paste mixture over the tomatoes and peppers. Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven for 1.30 hours until vegetable skins are soft.

As is the case with all Poles, Jarek was a easy going fellow and not difficult to communicate with [ although we never personally met him ]and the unit was modern, central and extremely secure on a high floor with a good lift. It is great for other Poles or Germans, but a tad difficult for anyone speaking English/French /Spanish etc as Jarek did not provide a explanatory welcome booklet in a few languages, which we all know, is a necessity and imperative to most foreign visitors. Where to buy food locally for cooking[ not restaurants] ; how to manage local transport; how to work the various gadgets eg washer/dryer;stove/TV/ replacing fuses/ garbage disposal and recycling etc etc AND a MAP !!! of the area. The TV is only in Polish and useless to other nationalities WIFI throughout Poland is perhaps the best in Europe. All in all, this is a lovely unit to spend time in and if Jarek could attend to some of those little extras [ including a reappraisal of cooking aids ] then it is a 4 star unit..
Lovely apartment with a wonderful view from each patio. The apartment is very clean and well-equipped. It is conveniently located near a grocery store, shops and the bus stop. Definitely recommend this apartment.
Jacek's apartment was clean and well furnished. He was a good host and supplied everything needed despite me having my own friends in the city of Warsaw. He provided a city guide with map and list of Polish restaurants. The apartment was definitely a good deal with more than enough space for a lone traveler like myself. My stay in Warsaw has been great.
Great Host, great apartement, everything was very comfortable and clean, everytime again
2nd time in Jacek's appartment. The word GREAT is not enough. The appartment is fabulous. The best place to experience everything that Warsaw offers. Once again: Dziękuję :)
Thank you Jacek,
This is a very good modern and fully equipped flat, and I enjoyed my stay there. The location is good with a 10 minute walk into the main business district, and there is a market and other shops very nearby.
Jacek was also very helpful with local information and maps.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks
Bright, spacious, clean, very good furnitures, and a very friendly host: all what you need for an amazing stay. I would definitely book again with Jacek!
The building is new and the apartment is very modern and very well equipped
with top line appliances and amenities.
Far better than the average rental apartment I have stayed at.
And the price is great value for the money.
Jacek is also a great host.
Spacious and clean apartment in a good location, within walking distance to city center and sights. Jacek is a great host who will do his utmost to make preparation and actual stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Ask him about his restaurant tips around!
Having read mixed reviews on the internet I was sceptical and not very sure about booking with Wimdu. But my experience proved I was wrong. Everything was excellent, the flat, location, the host, service all together. The flat is as discribed on the site.

Jiiva and Vijay to do a cameo in 'Onbadhula Guru'
The movie is directed by PT Selvakumar, who is close to both Vijay and Jiiva. They will do a cameo in the film.
They rocked together in 'Nanban' directed by Shankar. Now it seems Vijay and Jiiva will work for a movie once again, however in cameo appearances this time. We are talking about 'Onbadhula Guru', which has Vinay in the lead.
The movie is directed by PT Selvakumar, who is close to both Vijay and Jiiva. "Hence the two popular actors are doing guest appearances in 'Onbadhula Guru'," sources say.
They add: "While Jiiva will do a scene, Vijay will appear in a song sequence. Their presence will add value to the movie, which is a rom-com that revolves around a bunch of youngsters."
'Onbadhula Guru' is Vinay's next venture after a decent show of 'Mirattal' recently. The actor is happy about bagging an interesting role in this Selvakumar directed film.

'Radio, what's new? Radio, someone still loves you!' sang Freddie Mercury in 1984 - but is it still true today? Research by the just-released "Infinite Dial 2014: Radio Format P1s" study, which breaks out Edison Research's influential "The Infinite Dial" survey results by P1 listeners to ten major format groups - begs to disagree. The research reveals that over a third of Americans age 12+ used YouTube to watch music videos or listen to music in the last week. For listeners to most current-based formats, those numbers are significantly higher. 57% of Top 40 P1s have used YouTube for music in the last week, followed by 53% of Urban P1s and 48% of Rock P1s. ( A 'P1' is a loyal radio station listener, btw.)
Country was the next major music format for YouTube usage at 27%, followed by Classic Rock/Classic Hits (24%)
'While radio has spent much of the last year focusing on Pandora and Sirius XM, YouTube remains a major destination for many formats' P1 listeners," says Edison Research VP of music and programming Sean Ross. 'In fact, nearly as many Top 40 P1s use YouTube for music in a week as the 60% that use Pandora in a given month.'
As for keeping up to date on which music to listen to or music videos to watch Radio is still king at 75% of all listeners but YouTube is now queen at 59% of YouTube users relying on the site to find the latest hits.
However among 12 - 24s YouTube is the leading source of discovery at 83% with Radio trailing behind even family and friends at 65%. This means that YouTube can look forward to an even brighter financial future as this age group matures and brings its music viewing habits into old age. As for radio - yes, someone will always love you because there are somethings we can't do and still watch videos at the same time. Download the full report here.

ETF Expert: Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF Works Well For A Reliable Stream of Income
16 July 2009 at 9:26 am by Gary Gordon
Non-existent CD yields don't tickle your fancy. Government debt makes you think that higher yields (and lower bond values) will harm your principal. And perhaps you're not convinced by the sudden interest in U.S. stocks. Well, then… what should you do?
Grab a stake in the iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Credit Bond Fund (CSJ). This ETF pursues the performance of an index that tracks investment grade bonds from sovereign, local and non-agency (corporate) sources. Moreover, since most of the holdings mature withing 1-3 years, and the fund is highly diversified, one can be extraordinarily comfortable in the income stream produced by CSJ.
At the present time, CSJ boasts a distribution yield close to 4%, with a 30-day SEC yield closer to 3.5%. That alone seems to be a better cash flow stream that a 10-year U.S. Treasury bond with the same yield.
Through 7/16/2009, CSJ has accumulated a total return of 5%. That's a fairly decent combo of 3% "cap app" and another 2% that's come via monthly income.
What's more, the iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Credit Bond Fund (CSJ) is in a technical uptrend. It currently resides above a 50-day and a 200-day moving average. Stronger evidence exists with the 50-day moving above the 200-day in May.
Short-term credit bonds may not solve all of your investment concerns. Yet it can serve as a strong diversifer for an overall portfolio. Or, it may serve as one of the chief holdings for an ultra-conservative investor who wants to do something more than maintain a 100% cash position.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It's a sign of the times in Cincinnati that Bengals fans are complaining about an "ugly" win.
The Reds have clinched first place in their division and are preparing for the postseason. The Bengals are defending champions of the AFC North and are now being scrutinized for style. Cleveland's sports teams should have such problems.
"Not too many teams have to make excuses for winning like that, but I guess we do," coach Marvin Lewis said after his team struggled to a 20-7 win over Carolina despite forcing four turnovers. "So we'll just move forward and I'll say little, our players will say less, and that's the way it will be."
Having already knocked off Baltimore, the Bengals (2-1) bring an eight-game winning streak in division games to Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday. Their 6-0 sweep of Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburgh last season earned them the division title, but not the respect nationally to be considered prominent Super Bowl contenders.
Part of that skepticism may be due to the expectation that Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens will combust and the Bengals will fail to produce back-to-back titles for the first time since the strike-shortened 1982 season.
But there is also growing concern about whether quarterback Carson Palmer can deliver a Super Bowl like Bengals field leaders Boomer Esiason and Ken Anderson before him.
Palmer has struggled to form a chemistry with Owens. Rookie passing targets Jordan Shipley and tight end Jermaine Gresham have been more productive. The upgraded offensive weaponry was supposed to be the final links in returning the Bengals' offense to top-10 caliber.
But Palmer's early numbers continue a downward trend that began five years ago, coinciding with a major knee injury suffered in a 2005 season playoff game against Pittsburgh.
Since compiling a passer rating of 101.0 in that season, Palmer's rating has fallen to 93.9, 86.7, 69.0 (in an injury-plagued season of four games) and 83.6. He's at 71.3 through three games this season.
One thing is for sure: Palmer's offensive line has never been as strong as it was in 2005. The Bengals' two Super Bowl teams had quality lines anchored by future Pro Football Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz. This one is still suffering from the club's apparent whiff in the 2009 draft.
The Bengals made Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith the sixth pick of that draft. Nobody doubted Smith's talent, but there were questions about maturity and his ability to stay in shape.
Smith got off to a horrible start his rookie year with a holdout and foot fracture on his second day of practice. He continues to battle a weight problem. He wasn't even active for last week's game.
Had the Bengals chosen a different highly rated tackle that year -- Eugene Monroe and Michael Oher were available -- they might have an offensive line that could lift Palmer and their offense to the elite level and carry the team to the Super Bowl.
Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Sunday, 1 p.m., in Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Record: 2-1.
Last game: Beat Carolina, 20-7, Sept. 26, in Charlotte, N.C.
Coach: Marvin Lewis, 58-58-1, eighth year.
Series record: Bengals lead, 38-35.
Last meeting: Bengals won, 16-7, Nov. 29, in Cincinnati.
League rankings: Offense is 14th (19th rushing, 14th passing), defense is 10th (13th rushing, 11th passing) and turnover differential is plus-4.
Offensive overview: Yes, they've given Carson Palmer the weapons, but his protection has weakened from a year ago. The addition of receivers Terrell Owens and rookie Jordan Shipley, plus rookie tight end Jermaine Gresham, have resulted in more throwing. As a result, the line has been exposed as a less-than-stellar unit. Coordinator Bob Bratkowski has used second tight end Reggie Kelly to help protection. The two-tight end set often results in Gresham running routes and sometimes lining up wide. Running back Cedric Benson and backup Bernard Scott are a solid tandem. When the going gets tough, the Bengals can gash a defense with their running game, but it's no longer their bread and butter.
Defensive overview: This unit has undergone quite a transformation. It's tough, physical, versatile and opportunistic. Led by the all first-round cornerback trio of Leon Hall, Johnathan Joseph and Adam (formerly Pacman) Jones, the defense has produced eight turnovers in the last two games. Evidence of their impact is the Bengals have allowed QBs to complete only 54.2 percent of their passes -- second-lowest in the NFL -- despite getting only two sacks. Coordinator Mike Zimmer likes to keep his four-man front fresh with an eight-man rotation. With Antwan Odom out last week, Zimmer moved edge rusher Michael Johnson into the end position, but they can easily meld into a 3-4 look with Johnson at outside linebacker. Zimmer will blitz and not fret about leaving Hall and Joseph in single coverage.
Special teams overview: Ex-Jet and ex-Buckeye kicker Mike Nugent has been a godsend. Counting preseason, he's had field goals of over 50 yards in four of his last five games. Nugent is 8-of-8 with a long of 54, and he's tied for fifth with five touchbacks. Punter Kevin Huber is 18th in gross average (43.6 yards) and 14th in net (38.8). Quan Cosby, Bernard Scott and Adam Jones all can go the distance as returners. The coverage units are suspect. They were hit with a 97-yard kickoff return TD by Brandon Tate of New England.
• Quarterback Carson Palmer: He's been good at massaging the egos of his receivers with good ball distribution, but he's ranked 22nd with a rating of 71.3. That rating is 16 points below his career mark. He's 8-2 vs. the Browns.
• Receiver Chad Ochocinco: So far, he and Terrell Owens are co-existing like, well, Batman and Robin. His 20 catches for 237 yards lead the team, but there has been only one opportunity for a TD celebration. In 17 games against the Browns, he has 11 TDs -- most against any team.
• Cornerback Leon Hall: He leads an opportunistic secondary with two interceptions and four passes defensed.
Injury report: DE Antwan Odom (wrist), CB Adam Jones (shoulder), and DE Jonathan Fanene (hamstring) missed the last game.
Small world: Receivers coach Mike Sheppard entered was Browns tight ends coach in 1993 and receivers coach in 1994-95. ... Safety Chris Crocker was a Browns third-round draft pick in 2003 and played for them through '05. ... Running back Cedric Peerman was with the Browns in 2009. ... Kicker Mike Nugent attended Centerville High School and Ohio State.

After operating for nearly a century as an entity of Muskegon Public Schools, the Muskegon Museum of Art is officially on the road to independence.
A formal agreement to transfer the museum to its independent foundation board by June 30, 2014, has been approved by the school board and the foundation board.
Exactly when the transfer will occur depends on a major fundraising campaign needed to build the museum's endowment fund. The transfer agreement follows a memorandum of understanding to grant the museum its independence that was signed in November.
The school district, which spends $100,000 in school operating funds each year on the museum, instigated the transfer because of its continuing financial problems.
"I think it's a necessary thing," said museum Executive Director Judith Hayner. "The stewardship of the school district has been remarkable over the last century, and I give them full credit for what we are.
"But I fully recognize that is not a feasible model for the next 100 years. It's not about us. It's about the state of public schools and the challenges they face," said Hayner, who previously served as an assistant superintendent in charge of finance for the school district.
"In a perfect world, would I choose this? I would not have a reason to choose this."
The art museum, which is planning a grand celebration of its 100th birthday next year, will need to build its endowment from about $2 million to $7 million to "create stability" it needs for independence, Hayner said. To that end, the Muskegon Museum of Art Foundation is preparing details of a fund drive expected to be announced in the fall.
The foundation board will decide when the transfer occurs, providing the school district at least 30 days notice.
In 1910, the Muskegon school board decided to build the museum to house paintings that were purchased with a trust fund bequeathed to the school district by community philanthropist Charles H. Hackley who stipulated it was to "buy pictures of the best kind."
School board members had explored displaying the paintings at Hackley Public Library, the construction of which Hackley had funded, but decided instead to build the museum that they named the Hackley Art Gallery.
The museum was renamed in 1980 upon completion of a $1.6 million addition funded by the L.C. & Margaret Walker Foundation.
Hayner said she continually tries to dispel the "myth" that Hackley himself built the art gallery. She praises the school board for its decision to not simply use Hackley's trust to buy paintings, put them in the library and be "done with it."
To this day, Hackley's "picture fund" pays for new additions to the museum's collection, including some of the 50 pieces the museum has acquired to be unveiled at its 100th birthday party. Hayner said she hopes those pieces will grow in number to 100 by next May.
In addition to paying the $100,000 each year for utilities, insurance and other costs related to the museum, the school district has forwarded to the museum interest earnings on the $4.7 million Julia Hackley Trust Fund — the only portion of the money allowed to be spent — that totaled $270,000 last year.
Julia Hackley, Charles Hackley's wife, willed the money to the school district in 1909 with a directive that it was "to be used and expended forever by the board of education according to its discretion for school and educational purposes."
The transfer agreement calls for the school district to continue forwarding the Julia Hackley Trust Fund money to the art museum, provided school officials are satisfied with the art education and other activities the museum provides to Muskegon students and the greater community.
The agreement also calls for:
• The museum to never sell or otherwise transfer 15 of the museum's "legacy works." Those paintings include such treasures as Edward Hopper's "New York Restaurant," Winslow Homer's "Answering the Horn," and John Steuart Curry's "Tornado Over Kansas."
• The school district to have one nonvoting member on the museum foundation board. The three school board members who currently serve on the 15-member board will resign.
• Current art museum staff, who are employees of the school district, to be terminated unless they are protected by union contracts. The foundation would then be obligated to offer all terminated staff members jobs at the museum.
• The foundation board to never permanently relocate art in the collection — other than pieces that are "deaccessioned" — outside the city of Muskegon.

Ishrat Jahan case: Top policeman PP Pandey sent to CBI custody
PP Pandey had gone underground in April after his name surfaced in the encounter probe and was declared an absconder by the court.
Ahmedabad: A Special Court on Saturday remanded senior Gujarat IPS officer PP Pandey in CBI custody for 5 days till August 21 in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case. The court accepted Additional DGP's plea that he be questioned by CBI in the presence of his lawyer.
Pandey had surrendered before a court in Ahmedabad on Tuesday after evading arrest for months. He had gone underground in April after his name surfaced in the encounter probe and was declared an absconder by the court. He resurfaced after the Supreme Court, and subsequently Gujarat High Court, temporarily gave him protection from arrest before again going underground.
Khutwad had reserved order on CBI plea last Wednesday after the defence and the prosecution counsels completed arguments. CBI lawyer had argued that Pandey's interrogation was required to find out the real identity of two of the encounter victims, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar.
They were with Ishrat Jahan, a Mumbai girl, and her friend Javed Shaikh alias Pranesh Pillai, the other two victims. After the Supreme Court rejected his anticipatory bail plea on Monday, Pandey surrendered before the CBI Court on Tuesday and was sent to judicial custody till August 27.
He was Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) in Ahmedabad when Ishrat and the three others were gunned down by Crime Branch sleuths on June 15, 2004. Gujarat Police had then claimed they were terrorists, but CBI later concluded that the four were killed in a "fake" gunfight.
CBI lawyer Ejaz Khan argued that Pandey was part of a larger conspiracy and the agency needed to interrogate him to find out the role of other accused. "The agency still has to ascertain the true identity of Johar and Rana. As Pandey had visited these two when they were kept in prior custody, his custodial interrogation is vital," submitted Khan.

Hey, I've got a question. Maybe you could write about it in a post? What things did you eat when you were sick? Like before you were put in a treatment center? I'm doing a bit of a research thing, and I was supposed to have an interview-type thing from another person. So, I just thought I'd ask. If you don't want to post it, you can email it to me at email@example.com. (:ReplyDeleteReplies

An Allentown man cut his girlfriend with a serrated knife and threatened to kill her after she refused to go to 7-Eleven with him, city police said.
Angel Cruz woke up his girlfriend about 6:30 a.m. Saturday and told her she was going to 7-Eleven with him, according to court records. When the woman refused, Cruz grabbed a knife out of the kitchen, held her on the couch and threatened to kill her, records say.
Cruz then cut his girlfriend on her arm and dragged the serrated blade on her arm, cutting and scraping her, police said.
The woman told police she feared Cruz would kill her, so she got dressed and followed him to the store on North Seventh Street.
The victim said Cruz dropped the knife outside of their apartment in the 1100 block of Linden Street; officers found the knife in a breezeway in the back of the building, police said.
The 45-year-old Cruz was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, making terroristic threats and harassment. He was arraigned before District Judge David Howells Jr. and sent to Lehigh County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Counterpoint: Keep term limits in Colorado
('76 Contributor) As truth seekers we are obliged to review everything, including term limits, with the utmost objectivity. My complaint about term limits is that this reform is far too modest to save us from what ails our society. A point from the book Reinventing Government was spot on, "The New Deal paradigm of government is obsolete." Clinton was president then and made the book famous, but did nothing to build on its few sound points. I approached the authors (Osborne and Gaebler) to ask why he had not articulated what the new paradigm might be. No response.

Bremerton City Council Candidate Profile: Cynthia Galloway
Tell us about your background and how it qualifies you to serve on the city council?
Business owner within City of Bremerton over 10 years; BA in Sociology; Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in educational psychology (candidate); elected political experience served six years on Bremerton School Board – position held during my tenure on the school board served as the President of the School Board and Vice President of the School Board; served on the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Diversity Panel as a Judge for School Directors in Washington state; represented Bremerton Schools on the Washington State interscholastic Board for Bremerton schools' athletic department, etc. Oversaw and hired chief executive officers for Bremerton School District; analyzed and provided direct oversight reference to district budget which consisted of $50 million per year, approved/hired all employees within the school district, and represented 43,000 citizens within Bremerton School district area for six years.
What is the single most pressing issue in your district? What have you done, and what will you do, to address that issue?
Safety Issues: within District 1 as it relates to some of the streets close to Sheridan and near Lions Park. The citizens remain concerned about renters coming in and out of correction systems; the rental properties are not being taken care of by the property owners; some streets need speed bumps and road/curve improvements for the disabled; burglaries and not enough policeman to respond to citizens' concerns. This information has been reported to me by the citizens within District 1. Action taken: I attended a meeting with the Bremerton Police Department and informed the Chief of Police of the citizens' safety concerned; participated in meeting with the Public Works and Parks Department directors to inform them of the road conditions. I talked with the parks director about all of the parks and insufficient management of the parks. Next we discussed Sheridan Gym (we need to renovate/remodel the old building) and discussed the volunteers' stepping forward to help the city out. Currently, the parks department is understaffed and need more funding support from the city government. I have had dialogue with state senators and other persons of interest about the need to have city councilmen/ladies' ready and willing to help improve District 1. The citizens feel that the city government is only concerned about the downtown area.
If elected, what will be your top three priorities as a member of the city council?
Promoting Economic Development and partnering with business owners; improving the quality of life by providing safer streets for all residents; and partnering with Bremerton School District to ensure our schools produce graduates who are prepared to be successful.
Why are you the better candidate in this election? Why should voters choose you?
Elected experience as an elected official (six years), previous relationships with the mayor and some of the current city council members, experienced with implementing and designing board policies and overseeing school district budget, made budget recommendations and represented 43,000 citizens while serving on the Bremerton school board. I do not have a personal agenda. I've pledged to work for the people, not for myself. The people deserve to see the right kind of change and improvement within every district, not just in the downtown area. The voters should vote for me because I am about serving them. I realize if I am elected that I am one person who would serve on the city council board. However, I plan on speaking for the people and reminding the city council members to listen to the people.
If you could change one thing about the City of Bremerton with the flick of a switch, what would it be and why?
Listen to the people and improve all districts; reduce the B&O tax - providing there is another option to help sustain the budget; offer more incentives to business owners; ensure safety for all citizens, which depends on how the local police and fire departments protect all citizens. Hire more police officers and fire department personnel (they need a training budget). The citizens need to be ensured that the current city government (council members/mayor) will protect the citizens from dangerous or potentially dangerous situations) Why? Some citizens feel like the council members/mayor are not listening to them.
What would your pitch be to a business owner considering a move to Bremerton?
My language will continue to demonstrate a business friendly tone. I would focus on how to design the city regulations and restrictions to be more business friendly for real estate companies and a company like LOWES, offer better incentives for business owners, and offer start-up loans for new business owners. Action Taken: Two months ago I talked with the Department of Revenue staff about some of the confusion about business owners' have complained about tax credit rules and other restrictions.
What is your position on the proposed charter amendment that would allow the council to meet in Kitsap County, but outside of the Bremerton city limits?
The meetings need to remain within the downtown area within the city limits of Bremerton. The council needs to maintain a consistent designation for the board meetings (and study sessions) for the citizens.

Today: Great Lakes (RHP Bobby Blevins, 0-1, 5.19) at Dayton (RHP Josh Ravin, 1-1, 3.60), 7 p.m.
Records: Loons 7-4, Dragons 1-10
Tuesday: Trailing 6-1 entering the top of the eighth inning, Great Lakes scored six unanswered runs -- two in the eighth and four more in the ninth -- to complete the comeback with a win.
Key hit: Kyle Russell's two-run single proved to be the game-winner, bringing home the game-tying and game-winning runs in the top of the ninth.
Far from easy: Dayton starter Matt Fairel struck out 12 Loons hitters through six innings before leaving with a 6-1 lead. Though the Dragons' bullpen blew the lead and the game, the Dayton relief pitching added five strikeouts of their own to finish with 17 as a team.
De-pen-dable: While starter JonMichael Redding struggled to get through his 3 1/3 innings, he couldn't have asked for a better performance from his teammates out of the bullpen. Great Lakes relief pitchers Blake Brannon, Josh Walter, Jordan Pratt and Javy Guerra combined for 5 2/3 scoreless innings with Pratt picking up the win.
Bottoms up: The bottom two hitters in the Loons batting order, Alfredo Silverio and Elian Herrera, respectively, went a combined 5-for-7.
No sympathy: With the win, the Loons extended the Dayton winless streak to nine. However, the only win for the Dragons this season came at the expense of the Loons.
On deck: After completing the four-game series at Dayton on Friday, the Loons will host Fort Wayne for the first of four games at 6:05 p.m. Saturday at Dow Diamond in Midland.
Radio: WLUN-FM, 100.9
