LUDINGTON, MI – Ariel Courtland, mother of Ludington's long-missing Baby Kate, will appear on the Dr. Phil show Tuesday afternoon.
"It's a mystery that has captured the nation's attention: Four-month-old Baby Kate vanished in June 2011 and has yet to be found. The baby's mother, Ariel, sits down with Dr. Phil to 'set the record straight' and attempt to clear any lingering cloud of suspicion that she says surrounds her. Does she know more than she's revealing?"
"Dr. Phil" appears at 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays on CBS. That would be channel 3 for most Muskegon-area viewers.
RELATED: View MLive's complete coverage of the Baby Kate case
In September Courtland filed to marry Sean Phillips, the baby's father, who was convicted of unlawful imprisonment in Kate's disappearance. He is serving a sentence of 10 to 15 years.
Courtland said she hoped if they were married she could visit Phillips in prison and find out what happened to the baby, but then said she changed her mind about marrying him. The two have an older child together.
Soon after the announcement they would wed, a letter surfaced, which appeared to be from Phillips to Courtland, with an explanation that he accidentally killed Baby Kate after driving off with her, left the body in a quiet place and was unable to retrace his steps to find her again.
Mason County law enforcement officials said they are investigating Baby Kate's disappearance as a possible homicide. No body has been found in connection with the case, and the baby has not been seen since Phillips drove off with her on June 29, 2011.

We all love seeing artist work, and create their masterpieces but often times are not granted the access to see such amazing creativity come together, and become what is shared with the world. Over the past 4 months Marcus Smith followed The Boy Illinois enough to film and study the process. This documentary is the result of that observation. The making of Inhale Pt.4: Horai.

Whitney Houston looks to the top of the chart next week
There is no question that Whitney Houston's "I Look to You" will come in at No. 1 next week, no matter whose album chart you follow, The only question is how much will the diva's comeback sell?
The title looks like it will move upwards of 300,000 copies according to Hits Daily Double. That's a handy sum in this day and age, but nowhere what the hype would have you to believe, since everyone from Oprah to "Good Morning America" are trying to make us believe this is a more highly anticipated event than Halley's Comet. The fact is that the jury is out on Houston. Reviews of the album have been mixed. Second single, the uptempo "Million Dollar Bill" continues to do well, but the title track did not ignite at radio. The good news for the label, Arista, is that Houston's album, after debuting at No. 1 and then falling the next week (while all eyes are on the Beatles reissues), will undoubtedly see another surge following her Sept. 14 "Oprah" appearance.
Look for baby diva Miley Cyrus's EP, "Time of our Lives" to move to No. 2. R&B singer Trey Songz will come in at No. 3 with his strongest career debut, while rockers Chevelle should debut around No. 8 with sales of 40,000 or so. Pitbull's "Rebelution" may eek into the Top 10, although, like many rappers, he's better at selling digital downloads right now than albums.

Hi all,
My mother will be visiting myself and my wife later this month in Cape Town from London. She will be flying LHR -> JNB -> CPT with SAA.
My question is this: would she be able to check her bags in at LHR all the way to CPT without having to claim them again in JNB and check in again for CPT? A friend of mine told me that because JNB will be the first port of entry into South Africa, she will have to claim her bags there first, and check them in again for the onward flight to CPT.
I was under the impression that she would not need to check her bags in again as all of the flights are on 1 itinerary on the same airline.
As usual, your insights will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and regards

|[TowerTalk] Grounding a transmitter that is mounted on the tower
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Richard Thorne)
|Wed, 09 Jan 2002 15:07:07 -0600
Hello Group: I'm in the process of redesigning my remote hf station using a Kachina 505dsp. I'm converting from an ISDN phone line to a pair of spread spectrum 900mhz wireless modems. I would like to mount the modem on the tower close to the antenna to reduce loss's in the system due to the coax. Per the modem manual I can get away with 4.2db. In order to have the antenna at 60 feet I'll have over 125' in coax cable which will get me over the 4.2db number quickly when using 9913. While coax exists to do the job, I'd rather not get into the expense. So if I install the modem at the base of the tower I'll only have a 60' run. Is there anyway to isolate the modem from the tower so it won't be in the path of a lightning hit. This is real important as these modems are awful pricey and I really don't want to replace one. -- Richard Thorne Advo Companies, Inc. 806-342-0600 ________________________________________________________________________ This list is sponsored by the new eHam.net Store.

Theravance's (Nasdaq: THRX ) investors are breathing easy. Shares jumped 11% yesterday, and they're up another 8% today. All because a few phase 3 programs read out positive.
And by a few, I mean four.
One phase 3 trial success is a good indicator that a drug will pass another and get approved. Four is rightfully boosting investors' confidence.
The clinical trials were studying a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, or LAMA, and long-acting beta2 agonist, or LABA, combination in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung disease. Theravance is studying the LAMA, umeclidinium bromide, and the LABA, vilanterol, with its longtime partner GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK ) .
Two of the trials compared the drugs with placebo for 24 weeks. In both the high-dose trial and the low-dose trial, the drug combo performed much better than placebo. The individual components by themselves also beat placebo, and the combo beat the individual components by themselves. That's exactly what you'd like to see, although there actually wasn't much to see; the company's just said the drugs worked, but it didn't provide any details beyond very low p-values that show statistical significance since they're saving the data for an upcoming medical meeting.
The companies also measured their combination to an active comparator, Pfizer (NYSE: PFE ) and Boehringer Ingelheim's COPD treatment Spiriva. When vilanterol was taken with Spiriva, Theravance/Glaxo's combo was superior at two different doses. In another trial, the Theravance/Glaxo combo at the higher dose beat Spiriva alone, but the lower dose was only numerically different and not statistically significant.
All told, the data looks really good, but investors should keep an eye out for the 52-week data due out shortly. If anything is going to trip up the program, it'll be safety data, which is more likely to show up in the longer trial. Remember, Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY ) and AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN ) ran 19 trials -- not all phase 3, obviously -- to get their diabetes drug dapagliflozin approved, but the FDA turned it down because of potential side effects.
Four isn't necessarily going to be enough.
While you're waiting for the 52-week data, take a look at what Fool analysts believe is the next rule-breaking multibagger. Get the free report.

Irish raider Thousand Stars won the French Champion Hurdle at Auteuil.
Trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Ruby Walsh, the consistent grey had little trouble accounting for Bel La Vie, who helped initiate the pace from the outset.
World Hurdle runner-up Grands Crus, trained by David Pipe, arrived on the scene with every chance but flattened out heading towards the final flight in the hands of Tony McCoy, finishing down the field.
The same cannot be said of Thousand Stars, runner-up in both the Aintree Hurdle and the Punchestown Champion Hurdle, who scampered clear to take the spoils on the testing ground.
Stablemate Mourad ran a nice race in fourth place under Katie Walsh.
Victor Chandler make Thousand Stars 25-1 from 50-1 for next year's World Hurdle, with Big Buck's the 10-11 favourite from 5-6.
Grands Crus is out to 7-1 from 6-1, although he is expected to embark on a novice-chase campaign in the autumn.

FA charges Ravel Morrison on anti-gay tweet
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Who do these people think they are, just because he is in the public eye does not give him the right to slur anyone regardless of their sexuality or religion. I think it is despicable treating gay people like second class citizens. I think he should be removed from the team for that outburst, because it is obvious it was not just something done on the spur of the moment, but are his real sentiments how he feels personally towards gay people, which we will no longer tolerate.
This is the little thug who should be in jail for gang associated witness intimidation and beating up his girlfriend among other offences. Now its homophobic abuse. I wonder just how long those inside football are going to protect him instead of booting this thug out the door?
Ravel Morrison is one of those people you would expect in ten years time to be serving a long prison sentence or been gunned down and murdered in the street.
Which is why that after he is sacked from West Ham (no other outcome is acceptable in this instance – this idiot is clearly unsuitable for a life in professional sport) then his club should offer to pay for his to be trained in a proper profession, so he can earn his living when he returns to his normal life.
Have I misread your comment david.
Why should his club offer to pay for him to become a "plumber or electrician"? I'm pretty sure he's paid enough to be able to afford this career change should he be sacked
Is it their fault he's a violent thug?
Some of the best times I have ever had in bed have been with homophobes :-)
If only they realised that we know the motivation behind these kinds of rants – they might just shut up and chill out – who knows might even find a nice boy friend and be happy ever after ;-)
"faggot your a guy" It's YOU'RE, Jeeeeez…
I know – on top of everything else …. shocking grammar
West Ham remain strangely reluctant to comment.
This violent bigot – Ravel Morrison – is 19.
Money talks.
If West Ham do not sack this violent bigot then West Ham is making a clear statement that they are firm supporters of homophobic hate speech.
and the shock of him going from top 'sportsperson' to fast food operative will probably blow his tiny mind
They have only just signed him from Manchester United, they knew what his reputation for gang association and violence was and still they wanted him.
West Ham as a club has a long history of bigotry and violence.
Proof that twitter is populated with illiterate empty vessels.
If it is true that someone used a racist slur against him then that in no way justifies Morrison using homophobic hate speech.
I want this person sacked from West Ham and banned for life from the FA.
He is 19. He is clearly too stupid to understand the responsibility that comes with the incredible privilege of being a professional footballer.
But because of his young age he can retrain to get a proper job as a plumber or electrician.
Being a professional footballer is not a right. It is a privilege.
This moronic bigot has squandered his privilege through his own bigotry and stupidity and brought the game of football into disrepute.
He must be banned from the sport.
What about suarez he is guilty of racist language and keeps his job? And should Terry be sacked too if found guilty?
As a Liverpool fan I think Suarez should spend the rest of the season twiddling his thumbs and be sold in the summer.
I'm not sure he's a racist, (I think he's a nasty piece of work though and has caused a lot of trouble for a club that have been nothing but loyal to him) because I'm not willing to read 115 pages of FA dross to find out and I don't trust it's a fair report (I don't trust the FA know what fair means).
Evra said he didn't think Suarez was a racist which leaves doubt in my mind. There is also a language difference between English and Spanish.
Terry will have a trial in front of a jury of his peers if he is found guilty he should lose his job. If he is not people should accept the non guilty verdict and move on.
Suarez and Terry should also be banned from football for life if found guilty of using racist hatespeech.
Being a professional footballer is an incredible privilege and these morons don't seem to grasp the privilege they have been given.
Get rid of them if they are too stupid to realise that racism or homophobia are acceptable
Ferguson thinks suarez should be sacked, and if he played for Man united, he would be. And Terry has already lost the captaincy without even being proved to be guilty. And if he is found guilty, then yes he should lose his job.
Just because a backward – clearly retarded – fool can kick a ball, does not make him capable of intelligent thought –
Ignorance and his mixed heritage go a long way to explain why this bigoted arse is not worth our attention.
"His mixed heritage"
Nice, fight homophobia with racism!!! It makes so much sense.
As a person of "mixed heritage" myself I'd like to tell you to go f$%k yourself but it would be redundant since you'd probably enjoy it.
Exactly – don't be as stupid as Morrison who allegedly fights racism with homophobia.
JD you're proper scum
In this modern world, aren't an awful lot of us of "mixed heritage"? And, HEADLINES!!! The vast majority of us evolve into completely functional and contributing members of society. What kind of a veiled racist comment is this. Sorry the world isn't all Aryan for you benefit.
JD, As well as racist, your comment was totally offensive to people with disabilities! Totally disgusting, immature and prejudiced! You're no better than this footballer! You can't defend using one prejudice to attack other prejudices, however personal the prejudice may have been originally! No marginalised group has the right to marginalise another vulnerable group! You seriously need to examine your attitude, because it smacks of smug arrogance and hypocrisy, just because you've offended by a bigot! Guess it takes one to know one?! Please be more caring & social minded! Ta!
I don't understand the tweet. What language is it in?
Crack addled gangster I think!
Crack head? Go suck out u little faggot your a guy that talks if u see me you try slap me I'm in manchester every week
Here's the Cliff notes
You think I'm a crack head? Go suck out you little faggot (Go and suck some cock because you're a homosexual? I don't know, homophobic nonsense is difficult to translate). You are a person who is all talk. If you encounter me in person try to slap me ("Like I slapped my mother and girlfriend because I'm really hard"). I'm in Manchester every week (meaning "I'll be waiting for you because I like being slapped by other men").
Funnier than the original twit! Pun intended.
It is allegedly in English but aside from spotting the odd English word here and there, it is almost undecipherable. Maybe it is intelligible language and communication he has a real phobia of.
This guy and all guys who need to use a slur to get even with a racist remark hurled at them are with out a doubt Ignorant. They can't find a better word to use to attack their HATER so they call them anti gay names. Just what a Homophobe would do. Grow UP Punk!
He is a loose cannon and I really feel it is too late to sort him out . He has obviously mixed with the wrong types in Manchester. He needs the security of a loving home before he does something really bad and gets put away.
The average footballer it thick as shxt, pehaps they should confine themselves to what they know, and leave thinking to those capeable of it. It's about time the FA got some scruples and started limiting pay, and ending business in sport and gave control back to fans.
I do hope that the person who directed the racist Tweet to him is also dealt with in the same manner…(otherwise the opportunity is lost to reinforce the whole of the KICK IT OUT message)
Morrison and WHFC might consider that he is most likely attacking players in his own club. WHFC has several reserve and youth teams and it is very unlikely that the hundreds of players among them will all be straight. That's why it's West Ham's job to make a statement emphasising that the club welcomes its LGBT players.
Try to imagine that you are a young closeted professional footballer who wants to come out but you play for West Ham. Well now it's impossible unless West Ham sack that nasty little homophobic bigoted @&£%. No wonder, with players like him there are no out professional footballers.
Too bad he is not a baseball player… what is it they say "three strikes and your out!" in his case even that is two too many!
"Wait for it… the sound of crocodile tears and another heartfelt apology!"
Change is about wanting too, and I don't think this dude is a fast learner

At this point, the Detroit Tigers do not have much to say about it.
General manager Dave Dombrowski responded via text message Monday evening after being asked if he had any comment on the video.
"I do not," Dombrowski said. "Have not seen it."
The Tigers have an off-day today between their weekend series in Cincinnati against the Reds and their three-game series against the Cubs in Chicago. Therefore, Valverde was not available for comment.
A pair of video clips posted by a Cincinnati Reds fan made the rounds on social media Monday after they were posted shortly after the game in the early hours of the morning. At one point, Valverde appears to have something on his tongue. He then closes his mouth and brings his glove to his face in front of his mouth.
It appears all but impossible to tell whether or not Valverde spits into his glove, which would be a violation of Major League Baseball rules.
Rule 8.0.2 of official MLB rules say, in part: "The pitcher shall not expectorate on the ball, either hand or his glove. The rules says, in part, that any pitcher caught violating the rule "shall be ejected immediately from the game and shall be suspended automatically."

SOLON, Ohio -- Solon is urging residents to stay inside as temperatures drop during the arctic storm rolling through Northeast Ohio.
"We ask our residents to stay indoors, if possible, and avoid the extremely cold temperatures that will occur later today, tonight and tomorrow," Mayor Susan Drucker said in an email to Cleveland.com.
Solon City Schools are closed Monday, Jan. 6 and will be closed Tuesday, Jan. 7 to protect students and faculty from the cold weather, said Tamara Strom, communications director for Solon City School District.
"Our first concern is always the students' safety," Strom said. "We hope families are taking the precautions necessary to stay safe on a day like this."
The city posted guidelines on preparing for winter storms and safety tips for going out in the extreme cold. Suggestions include staying indoors as much as possible, wearing several layers and keeping dry. The guide also lists signs of frostbite and hypothermia so residents can recognize them right away.
"We talk to the safety officials in Solon and we monitor the weather very closely," said Strom. "The biggest issue facing us is wind chill."
The Solon City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, Jan. 6 at 7:30 p.m. has not been canceled.

WESTFIELD – The City Council's Personnel Action Committee will take charge of scheduling interview with three candidates for a vacant seat on the Municipal Light Board.
The three candidates, Jane C. Wensley, John M. Callahan and Brian Hoose said this week that although the appointment process is confusing, they intend to seek election to the Ward 3 light board seat in the November city elections.
The three submitted letters of interest to City Clerk Karen M. Fanion's office by a March 4 deadline and city officials said this week the names will be forwarded to the personnel action committee during Thursday's full City Council meeting.
Despite pending interviews, City Council member Brent B. Bean II, who serves as chairman of PAC, said Monday any member of the City Council and Municipal Light Board can nominate other candidates for the seat.
The vacancy is the result of the Jan. 9 death of long-time MLB Ward 3 representative William E. Buzzee.
Wensley questioned allowing additional nominations for the seat, noting she complied with the request for submission of letters of intent. But, she said she will remain in the process and regardless of the outcome, will campaign for the Ward 3 in November.
Hoose said he too was confused by the process. "I thought the seat would have been filed by now."
City Council President Christopher Keefe said the three names will be referred to PAC Thursday and that committee will then coordinate interviews with each candidate which will include representatives from the light board.
An appointment is expected on or about April 7, the next regular meeting scheduled for the City Council.
Bean said the process is designed to be as "transparent as possible."
Wensley was an unsuccessful candidate for the seat in the 2007 city elections, losing to Buzzee by 132 votes.
"There has not been a woman on the MLB in well over 20 years. I seek to provide fair representation for all Westfield residents," she said in her letter of intent.
Callahan said he has a "strong interest in the community and the future of the Westfield Gas and Electric Department."
Hoose, citing a "life-long involvement in community affairs" enables him "to be effective in this position to represent the concerns and interests of residents."
Vacancy on Westfield's Municipal Light Board should be filled by April 7

While not quite as heavy duty as some hard disk DVD recorders, the pioneer DVR-720H is more user friendly than most.
The 160GB Pioneer DVR-720H has enough hard drive capacity to store 34 hours of TV at the best-quality recording setting, or up to 204 hours at the lowest.
Where the 720H really scores is in user friendliness. For example, hitting the play button on the remote automatically plays your last recording, be it from the hard drive or the DVD. And there's an easy-timer recorder button on the remote that lets you set a same-day timer recording in seconds using a slider (there's also a more conventional screen for setting multiple recordings up in advance, as well as G-Code support). It's the easiest solution I've come across outside of an electronic programming guide supplied directly by a broadcaster.
The DVR-720H's remote comes festooned with buttons. It looks intimidating to begin with, but having dedicated buttons for different functions helps keep things simple. Another nice touch is a dedicated fast-forward button for skipping ahead in 30-second increments, or back in 15 second blocks.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

CUNA Mutual Risk Management Specialist calls NCUA Indirect Lending Risk Alert Letter "Timely"
MADISON, Wis. - Not only does Brad Mundine think NCUA's Risk Alert Letter issued in June requiring federally insured credit unions to implement risk controls concerning third-party subprime indirect lending activities to be timely, he asserts the Risk Alert Letter "raised appropriate concerns given more credit unions are vying for a piece of this rapidly growing consumer business." In response to the Risk Alert (CU Times, June 15), CUNA Mutual contacted its credit union Bond policyholders to provide information addressing NCUA's concerns. "Unlike the dealer who doesn't have to live with the consequences of a subprime loan, credit unions have to live with the loan however long it's financed for. So there's nothing unrealistic about NCUA's recommendations," says Mundine who handles Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas for CUNA Mutual and reviews the exposures for the various products the company insures a CU for and offers recommendations on ways to mitigate those exposures to reduce the CU's risk. Indirect lending has been around for many years, but data shows the product has grown in popularity among credit unions and is an area they're very competitive in, even more than banks says Mundine. In 2003, for example, $23 billion in indirect loan dollars went to credit unions; in 2004 that figure was up to $51 billion. Specifically, the Risk Alert cautioned credit unions involved in third-party, subprime indirect lending that they may not have effective controls and monitoring in place, and failure to implement policies and controls could pose a risk to a credit union's safety and soundness. "Letting an outsourced vendor call too many of the shots will most likely lead to serious problems that can affect a credit union's bottom line," says Mundine. "CUNA Mutual is first and foremost concerned with helping credit unions exercise due care in the management of their operation, particularly when their lending activities involve a third party. A credit union board sets the policy for indirect lending regarding third-party affiliations, credit terms and credit scores, and in so doing must avoid potential pitfalls," he adds. Credit unions, he advises, have to balance their `lending appetite" to serve the underserved and credit-challenged consumers with their ability to manage those loans. Mundine recommends the following "best practices" credit unions should adopt if they're currently involved in indirect/subprime lending or are considering entering that market: *have written policies and procedures on items such as types of vendors, employee training, credit scores, loan terms and dealer fees. Management has to be 100% clear to its loan officers what its policies and procedures are and convey that message to everyone involved. Be very specific, don't be vague. *develop an employee check list. Be knowledgeable of loan application procedures, dealership contracts, obtaining documentation and auditing dealer reports. *maintain adequate resources. Have technologies in place that can handle capacity and maintain adequate staffing to deal with increased loan volume and delinquencies. *review vendor/dealership as closely as you would a loan applicant. Dealers should have liability coverage that would protect the CU in case the dealer does something wrong. *execute signed agreement. Never enter into a third-party agreement without signed, formal documents detailing terms and conditions. The agreement should also include an "Exit Clause" - a Plan B - if the third-party fails to live up to the terms. *understand the risks. A credit union must have appropriate checks and balances built into the loan underwriting and approval process. Monitor dealer fees, blue book values, vehicle accessories, buyer income and employment information, and additional coverages. *conduct pre- and post-quality reviews. A pre-funding review is critical to ensure compliance with a CU's indirect lending policies. CUs need to be careful of automatic approvals because it is possible exceptions will slip through. Don't be too trusting of a dealership, watch every loan that comes through, even though the dealer is a partner in the subprime, indirect lending relationship. Post-disbursement reviews should be done by a staff member not closely involved with the indirect lending program such as the internal auditor, after the loan has been reviewed, approved, funded and booked. The review should look at the dealer reports and the credit union's process. *use a fraud detection system. Require a copy of the purchaser's driver's license with photo and verify the match. *monitor management reports to check on production and delinquency statistics. *develop collection procedures to implement in the event of default of a loan. It is important to determine the cause of the delinquency and to confirm the legitimacy of the loan. *maintain internal controls and ensure there is no unauthorized activity in the indirect portfolio. "The whole indirect lending concept for credit unions was in response to members wanting to get a loan right away at the dealership if all the information on them was available at the dealer level. But some credit unions assume that indirect lending is plug and play and haven't done their thorough homework. Some dealerships unfortunately sometimes take the path of least resistance to get a loan through, so credit unions have to keep working on their dealer relationships," says Mundine, noting that risk management and due diligence are critical for this type of product. -

Game design professor to help combat spread of HIV in Mexico City
June 6, 2014 - Elena Bertozzi, associate professor of game design and development, has been selected to assist the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico and the Research Consortium on HIV/AIDS and TB to create a game-based intervention to educate men who have sex with men in Mexico about preventing HIV.
Bertozzi and a team that includes Quinnipiac game design and development students are building the game and structuring the interface for the gamification platform for researchers at the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico and the Research Consortium on HIV/AIDS and TB, which have been selected to receive funding from Grand Challenges Explorations (GCE). GCE funds individuals worldwide to explore ideas that attempt to solve persistent global health and development challenges. This was one of more than 50 GCE Round 12 grants announced June 3 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
To receive funding, participants had to propose a bold idea in one of five critical global heath and development topic areas, including behavior change.
"This project seeks to incentivize the population of men in Mexico City who have sex with other men to get tested for HIV and encourage linkage to care through a game that creates a community of users and gamification strategies that reinforce desired health outcomes," Bertozzi said. "We believe that the use of game-like rewards and motivations outside of traditional game contexts has the potential to offer lower cost and sustainable solutions for changing HIV-related behavior."
HIV prevalence among men who have sex with other men in Mexico is 17 percent nationally and as high as 20 percent in Central Mexico. Though HIV-prevention and care services are widely available, participation in these services remains extremely low, fueling the epidemic. Only 32 percent of HIV-infected gay men know their status, indicating that existing clinic- and venue-based interventions have had very limited success in increasing uptake of HIV testing and linkage to care, Bertozzi said.
"We believe that this young technologically savvy group, whose median age is 27, will be responsive to a highly innovative approach to behavioral change using gamification principles and elements within a web-based setting."
Bertozzi will work on the project with Sergio Bautista-Arredondo, director of the Division of Health Economics and Health Systems Innovations at the National Institute of Public Health, Mexico, and Raluca Buzdugan, an epidemiologist at U.C. Berkeley.
Bertozzi, who joined the Quinnipiac faculty in 2013, earned her doctorate in media and communication at the European Graduate School, Leuk Stadt. She holds master's degrees from Indiana University in library science and communication, and a bachelor's degree in English from Williams College.

Slidell's Camellia City Market began the new year in Griffith Park amidst the decorated trees and animated displays from Christmas Under the Stars. The market is held each Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at the corner of Second and Erlanger streets.
The market featured sugarless organic blueberry jam, fresh Louisiana grown grapefruits and pecans, cannoli cake and a vendor who grilled samples of locally made German sausages. There were also displays of jewelry and other items for sale.
CCM Director Danny Blackburn said this is the market's fifth year. The fourth anniversary was not celebrated last year as the market struggled in an alternate Olde Towne location while construction was completed on the newly rebuilt Slidell Municipal Auditorium.
Plans for this year include expanding the market to offer high quality crafts and the return of cooking demonstrations and other events.
Blackburn said there is plenty of room to expand the offerings at the weekly farmers market.
Artists and crafters who want to commit to present their wares for four months can receive a booth at no cost.
For information, email him at email@example.com or call 985.640.7112.

Wednesday, January 29, 2014
A woman from the 100 block of Deas Drive in Sampit said someone shot her mobile home and her sister-in-laws car Jan. 22.
A neighbor reported hearing gunshots between 2 and 3 a.m. but did not think anything of it because she hears gunshots all the time, the report states.
During the investigation it was learned a second vehicle had also been shot.
No suspects were listed on the report.
Woman accused of attacking her mother
A 31-year-old Plantersville woman was arrested after she allegedly assaulted her 62-year-old mother. Deputies responded to the Lucy Grier Road home Jan, 22 and found the younger woman who said her mother was picking on her all the time and was constantly nagging. Her mother had left the home before deputies arrived but returned while they were there and said she left because she feared for her safety.
The woman said her daughter hit her in the face three times, causing her glasses to break.
Her daughter was charged with simple assault.
Caught on a boat
A man met with deputies on Sandhole Road in the Lamberttown area Jan. 18 and said he walked out of his house at about 2 a.m. and saw someone on his boat.
When he yelled at the person, an unknown man jumped off the boat and ran in the woods.
A rifle and Q-beam light were missing from the boat.
The suspect has not been found.
Jail trustee splashed
An assault-by-liquid reportedly occurred at the Georgetown County Detention Center Jan. 21.
A 37-year-old inmate - a jail trustee - said he was serving meal trays when a 21-year-old inmate splashed an unknown liquid in his face from inside his cell.
The victim said he did want to press charges so the case was expected to be presented to a magistrate.
Assaulted in Walmart
Georgetown police met an 18-year-old woman at Walmart Jan. 17 after she was involved in an altercation with her ex-boyfriend - a 19-year-old Georgetown man.
The woman said she was in the store shopping with her daughter when her ex walked up and started begging her to take him back.
She said he followed her around the store and while in the womens clothing area he reportedly tried to take her cell phone from her hand.
The woman yelled and was able to get away but about 30 seconds later the man ran back up to her and allegedly punched her in the throat and took off on foot.
A store worker called for help.
Police were given video from the stores security cameras that shows the assault taking place. The woman had visible injuries to her neck.
The man was found at his residence and was taken to jail.
Store window broken
Police responded to an alarm activation at KYS clothing store in the 2000 block of Highmarket Street at about 2:30 a.m. Jan. 20 and saw the front window was broken.
No entry was made to the store.
Fight involving a knife
Deputies were dispatched to the Kangaroo convenience store in Pawleys Island at about 3:50 a.m. Jan. 18 because of a report of a fight in progress.
A 21-year-old Goose Creek man said he was with two of his friends when they decided they wanted to buy drugs.
He said he told them he did not want to be around drugs so he had them drop him off at the Kangaroo. He then called his father to pick him up. He said while waiting for his father, his friends returned and started yelling at him.
One of his friends - a 21-year-old Georgetown woman - reportedly slapped him on the face.
He said one of the male suspects began chasing him and threatened to kill him so he pulled out a knife in defense.
The woman involved told a deputy the Goose Creek man punched her in the eye. Her boyfriend said the man pulled the knife on him for no reason.
No one wanted to press charges, so they were all allowed to go home.
Man found in a ditch
A deputy was sent to the 500 block of Courtfield Court in Murrells Inlet Jan. 22 where a 33-year-old man was lying in a ditch beside the road. EMS was with the extremely intoxicated man when the deputy arrived.
The man said he had been living in the woods with some other people.
After being cleared from the hospital, the man was arrested for disorderly conduct.
Causing problems for EMS
A 44-year-old man from Elkader Drive in Pawleys Island was arrested for disorderly conduct Jan. 17.
A deputy was sent to the home to conduct a welfare check and no one would answer the door. The deputy noticed someone was looking out a window and turned the lights off.
The deputy knocked for about 15 minutes before someone finally opened the door.
When the deputy walked inside, an older woman quickly went to a bedroom.
A man was unconscious on the floor on the floor. The suspect - a 44-year-old woman - was aggravating the situation and was causing more confusion. The woman was advised to calm down and stop shouting so EMS could do their job.
She calmed down briefly but started shouting again.
She kept shouting and started using profanity. She then jumped in the ambulance and was told to get out. Because she kept causing problems, she was charged and was taken to jail.
Information is subject to change as the investigation proceeds. Individuals arrested and/or charged have not been convicted.

NUTLEY — A Clifton man was killed early Thursday after he lost control of his 1996 Honda on Route 21 near River Road in Nutley. The car struck a light pole and several trees, and then split in two, police said today.
The driver, Michael Lopez, 25, was ejected from the car and pronounced dead at the crash site.
Detectives from Nutley and the State Police are working to determine what could have led to the crash, which happened shortly before 2 a.m., said detective Anthony Montanari of the Nutley police. A preliminary investigation indicates that the Honda, registered to Lopez' girlfriend, with whom he was living, hit a snow bank and then went airborne, Montanari said.
"The car was in very, very bad shape," he said.
Although it's apparent Lopez was driving at "excessive speeds," Montanari said, "the reasons for that are still undetermined."
The cleanup and investigations closed Route 21 and River Road until 6 a.m.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call Nutley Police at (973) 284-4940.

Consider Eastern New Orleans. Or is it New Orleans East? Or "The East"? Or Plum Orchard, Kenilworth, Eastover and Versailles?
The lack of an agreed-upon name is emblematic of the challenges faced by this section of Orleans Parish.
Residents express frustration that they must continually make an argument for their region's existence, let alone for political attention and private investment. Indeed, they struggle just to get on the map. Flung outwardly from the metropolitan heart like the feathers of a shuttlecock, Eastern New Orleans often gets clipped from maps of the city proper, depriving it of cartographic attention -- and everything that goes with it. That which literally lies on the margins often gets figuratively marginalized.
While its geographical position works against Eastern New Orleans' argument, so does its internal geography. It lacks an identifiable core -- no central plaza, no historic quarter, no walkable business or entertainment district, no famous landscaped park.
Neighborhoods, I've long held, are defined more by their cores than their peripheries. When you hear the words "Lower Garden District," for example, you probably think of its central focal point, Coliseum Square. Likewise, Jackson Square, Audubon Park, Harrison Avenue and Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard mark the psychological nuclei or axes of the French Quarter, Uptown, Lakeview and Central City, and impart to those neighborhoods iconography and character.
Eastern New Orleans, on the other hand, comes across as an undifferentiated expanse of subdivisions without a distinctive nucleus. As a result, Eastern New Orleans lacks a sense of place, and finds itself excluded from the popular perception of classic New Orleans.
It's a geographical problem with historical roots.
Whereas historic New Orleans grew outwardly from an original core settlement starting in the 1700s, Eastern New Orleans was the exact opposite: it grew inwardly from a peripheral framework of transportation arteries, mostly in the 1900s.
Prior, this area comprised two vast basins: Bayou Bienvenue on the south side, and, on the north, an expanse of shrubby marshes (the French called them Petit Bois or Little Woods) extending to the shores of brackish Lake Pontchartrain. Separating the two basins was a narrow topographic ridge formed by a former channel of the Mississippi River and later by its Bayou Metairie-Bayou Gentilly-Bayou Sauvage distributary.
Historically, this high ground, today's Old Gentilly Road and Chef Menteur Highway, represented the only terrestrial access to the interior. All other ingress and egress required a boat sailing around lakes Pontchartrain and St. Catherine, through the Rigolets and Chef Menteur passes, or up Bayou Bienvenue. Thus, most of the swampy, marshy interior of present-day Eastern New Orleans remained wild into the late 1800s.
Railroads began to change this. In the 1870s, tracks were laid for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad along the shoulder of the topographic ridge to connect New Orleans with Biloxi and Mobile. In the 1880s, another line was laid for the New Orleans and North Eastern Railroad along the lakeshore, to connect the city with Slidell. For the first time, New Orleanians could now conveniently access the eastern marshes. Tiny communities formed along the tracks, joining the truck farms and dairies that had long lined Old Gentilly Road.
Access brought to light the area's economic potential, which motivated the city to install drainage canals and pumps. By the 1910s, the former marsh and swamp became "reclaimed." Investors followed suit, chief among them the New Orleans Lake Shore Land Company, whose president, cotton merchant Frank B. Hayne, came to own 7,500 acres of the now-drained basin. He proceeded to sell hundreds of five-acre tracts, not for residential development, but for citrus groves. Americans by this time had developed a taste for tropical fruits, and Louisiana oranges grown in Eastern New Orleans could be readily shipped to regional markets via rail and ship lines.
Shell roads were established across the drained basin in the form of a "superblock" grid that would be recognizable to motorists today. Mature orange trees were sent in from Florida and planted, and thousands of acres of orange groves arose.
The company's plans for industrial-scale orange production were frustrated by bad weather, blight and world war. What remained by the 1940s were scores of smaller individual orchards and truck farms supplying municipal markets via, on the south, the recently paved State Highway 90, which passed through enclaves named Lee, Micheaud (Michoud) and Chef Menteur (near Fort Macomb), and on the north, a lakeshore boulevard named after Hayne, which paralleled the tracks to Slidell. A ride on that railroad would have taken passengers past tiny hamlets named Seabrook, Citrus, Edge Lake, Little Woods and, the farthest out, South Point.
Residents of these coastal outposts lived in raised wooden camps and tended to groves and market gardens, fished and hunted, or maintained the railroad and tended the locomotives. Many middle-class New Orleanians owned camps built on the lake, and something of a weekend recreational economy, complete with bathing facilities and hotels, developed here and elsewhere in Eastern New Orleans.
By this time, another peripheral transportation artery came into the picture, and it was a big one: the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, which had been excavated during 1918-1923 to connect the Mississippi River with Lake Pontchartrain. A boon to barge traffic, the waterway created so many jobs, along Downman Road and elsewhere, that it became known colloquially as the Industrial Canal. But the waterway also severed the east from the heart of the metropolis, while introducing salt water into the city even as soils began to subside below sea level because of drainage.
Then, during World War II, the Intracoastal Waterway was dug along the area's southern tier, essentially rendering Eastern New Orleans an island. By mid-century, the area was ringed with railroads, roads and canals, each lined with limited industrial or residential development. But it was still largely undeveloped at its core.
The Eastern New Orleans we know today is largely a product of five events of the late 1960s: Hurricane Betsy, which flooded parts of the area but also served as an impetus to erect hurricane-protection levees; NASA's Michoud Assembly Plant, which brought hundreds of well-paying jobs to the area; the movement of the white middle class out of the central city; the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal, which brought ocean-going ships into the area even as it accelerated coastal erosion and salt-water intrusion; and, last but not least, Interstate 10, which, for the first time, brought accessibility to the core of Eastern New Orleans.
Each of these transformations, particularly I-10, instigated waves of housing development, and by the 1970s, subdivisions with names like Plum Orchard, Kenilworth and Versailles were built where stood citrus groves 50 years earlier, and wilderness a century prior.
Development would have extended further eastward -- ramps had been built on I-10 to anticipate it -- had not the petroleum market crashed in the early 1980s. Lands belonging to New Orleans East Inc., which had been poised to urbanize more than 20,000 acres of wetlands in far eastern Orleans Parish, instead became Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. As part of its ambitious project, the company erected along I-10 a massive concrete sign emblazoned with NEW ORLEANS EAST, branding the area with that corporate moniker despite its demise. The name stuck.
At first, New Orleans East drew mostly white middle-class populations fleeing the inner city for what was billed as a "suburb within the city." But when African Americans gained political power in City Hall in the late 1970s, many of those white families departed New Orleans altogether and resettled in adjacent parishes.
In their stead came black families, among them substantial numbers of the upwardly mobile middle and upper classes, who later bought into posh subdivisions such as Eastover. Vietnamese refugees, meanwhile, settled in the Versailles area starting in 1975, and, their numbers later supplemented by immigrants, have since prospered and bought into surrounding subdivisions. Multi-family housing and Section 8 vouchers, meanwhile, brought in large numbers of working-class and poor households, and with them came the social challenges affiliated with poverty.
By century's end, geophysical problems increasingly came to light. Surrounded by salt water, bowl-shaped in its elevation, detached from the metropolitan core, adjacent to eroded marshes and ungated surge-prone canals, and ill-protected by what proved to be flimsy levees, New Orleans East lay both physically and socially vulnerable to catastrophe.
It suffered terribly when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, and, to add insult to injury, saw relatively little media and volunteer attention as it struggled to recover, in large part for its lack of a compelling historical narrative and picturesque cityscape.
How might New Orleans East address its geography problem?
One obvious suggestion would be to establish some sort of iconic core -- a walkable mixed-use district with a distinctive architectural profile, where it's great to work, shop, recreate and live. But forcing an urban form on a suburban space may be exactly that -- forced -- and I am all too familiar with the propensity of such grand plans to collapse under their own weight.
Instead, I might suggest we simply accept that New Orleans East is fundamentally non-nucleated, and build upon its historical-geographical strength: peripheral assets.
New Orleans East's gorgeous lakeshore and eastern wetlands are among the most underutilized natural resources in the region. The picturesque hamlets and fishing camps that once lined Hayne Boulevard, the citrus groves, bathhouses and recreational parks such as Lincoln Beach (an integral memory of thousands of African Americans during the last years of segregation) lay unmarked and unremembered today, yet abound with potential.
Along its western and southern flanks, New Orleans East boasts the city's premier inventory of industrial sites, all accessible by interstate, rail and canal. Chief among them is Michoud, which has unmatched opportunities for everything from building fuel tanks to developing drones to making movies.
New Orleans East could also improve its interior infrastructure by beautifying below-grade outfall canals with trees and landscaping, as recommended by experts involved in architect David Waggonner's "Dutch Dialogues" project.
The region's open drainage system, with its runoff-storing lakes and lakefront pumps, is the envy of other parts of the city, and may be aestheticized into something truly distinctive.
Yes, these are costly undertakings. But they are also scalable, and may be pursued incrementally with minimal disruption to everyday life. Tens of thousands of full-canopy shade trees, meanwhile, would do wonders for giving sun-drenched streets an appealing garden-suburb character.
And that is what New Orleans East needs most -- a sense of place; a distinctive character; an embrace of what it is -- and an acceptance of what it is not.

Beyond Brookfield's Borders
Lately I've found myself traveling beyond Brookfield's borders into New Berlin.
I've found myself driving on Greenfield Ave. two or three times a week. Greenfield Ave. is a good east / west alternative to Bluemound Rd. There is little traffic and few stop lights. The 45 mph speed limit can easily be maintained. There are relatively few businesses (except at the intersections), and many homes with large lawns. I enjoy the suburban look. (Yes, I do know that the westbound lane is Brookfield!)
Occasionally I'll take Cleveland Ave. east and west. The roadway seems to have a more country feel. But once again, there's little traffic and fairly smooth traveling.
Now, if only there were free-flowing north and south roads across Brookfield into adjoining communities.

NORTHAMPTON – Eighteen University of Massachusetts police officers have filed suits against the university, its police department and various school officials saying the use of surveillance equipment in the UMass police facility has violated their civil rights.
The officers, who filed 18 separate complaints Friday, maintain that they were not informed that some of the surveillance equipment in the new facility, which went into use in March 2011, could monitor their personal conversations.
The new suits follow one brought last year by UMass police officer Mark Shlosser on behalf of himself and his fellow officers. Shlosser maintained that at least 13 of the 42 video surveillance cameras installed in the new station are capable of recording conversations in various parts of the building, including private conversations between officers.
The officers say they did not find out about this until January 2012. They contend that this violates the Massachusetts wiretap statute -- which decrees that people must be informed when their conversations are being recorded -- as well as their civil rights, and that it constitutes an invasion of their privacy.
As a result of Shlosser's suit, a Hampshire Superior Court judge issued a preliminary injunction last year barring UMass from recording private conversations in its police station.
The complaints name the UMass Board of Trustees, former President Robert L. Caret, former police chiefs Johnny Whitehead and Barbara O'Connor and Deputy Chief Patrick T. Archbald as defendants. In a memo to staff attached to Shlosser's suit, Archbald insisted that no one in the police department administration asked for or knew that the cameras were enabled for audio. He also maintained that no hallway conversations had been recorded.
The suits seek damages of $100 per day for each day of violation or $1,000, whichever is higher, as well as punitive damages and attorney's fees.

I started thinking about gardening New Year's resolutions and I quickly decided that reiterating all the things I planned to do this year and didn't get around to, wasn't even going to impress/fool me, let alone anyone else.
Oh, I still want to improve my spring garden (a little late for that now), completely redo the front beds, ie, dig up all the self seeders and rampant spreaders and replace them with better behaved plants, and achieve more constant perennial colour everywhere. But even if I don't get the "round tuit" that I need to make those things happen, there is one resolution that I can make happen; I am going to cut more flowers for the house.
I used to have fresh bouquets in the house all the time, but thinking back, I guess that was when I had bigger gardens and could take blossoms away without affecting the look of the garden. There was even a time when I sort of almost planted a cutting garden behind the garage, but that's another story.
Some gardening gurus will tell you to have a separate area for planting things especially for cutting, so you won't spoil the look of your main beds by stripping them. One suggestion is to combine cutting flowers with a vegetable garden, which sounds like a good idea, if you have a vegetable garden.
I don't, and I seem to have fallen out of the habit of making sure there's something fresh and pretty in the middle of the kitchen table. I think it's because I'm never satisfied enough with the look of the outdoor garden to take anything away from it.
There's a lot of pressure when you write a gardening column.
You feel like your garden should look good all the time, even though I do keep stressing that I call myself a gin and tonic gardener for a reason; my favourite activities in the garden are relaxing and reading.
There are weeks during the season when I wish everybody could visit my garden and there are weeks when I wish nobody knew where I live. Sometimes I want to put a sign out front saying "It's better in the back. Really."
However, I still do have the scattered posy inside, but this year I'm resolving to have something from the earliest spring bulbs to the last fall leaves.
This is a resolution I can keep even if I don't carry out any of my other plans/dreams. I actually do have enough in the garden to keep me supplied, even if sometimes I may have to be a bit creative. Focusing on foliage and textures, just accented by a blossom or three, can result in a charming arrangement, or a bit of a wild arrangement, whatever you're in the mood for.
There are lots of annuals that make good cut flowers and give the garden season-long colour, but because I am much more into perennials, right now I'm sitting here looking out at the huge piles of snow covering everything and trying to remember what I have enough of out there that the garden won't miss a few blooms; climbing roses, clematis, peonies, campanula (the persicifolia species) candytuft, forget-me-nots, bachelor buttons, hydrangeas, climbing honeysuckle, mallows, bleeding hearts, veronica, delphiniums and hollyhocks (those two are a bit tall; low arrangements suit my low ceilings better).
Also, German iris, Japanese quince, Korean lilacs, helianthus, feverfew and poppies.
My spring bulbs are a bit sparse and despite the good weather I didn't get any planted this fall. The feverfew is a nuisance, but it makes a great filler or base for bouquets. The poppies don't last long unless you seal the stem with boiling water or flame, so that's enough to discourage me.
I've probably forgotten some and there are so many more that I either don't have enough of (like lilies) or just haven't made room for yet.
It's hard to imagine anything alive out there in this deep freeze, but the snow actually provides good protection and it's all waiting.
Only another few months to wait; "next year" is already here.

Ferguson discusses Washington Supreme Court's decision to impose fines against King County in public disclosure case
Today, the Washington Supreme Court announced its decision to impose a $371,000 fine on King County for failing to provide documents to Armen Yousoufian concerning the public financing of what is now Qwest Field.
Last year, the county settled another lawsuit for $225,000 involving an allegation that requested documents regarding the 2004 governor's election were not produced in a timely fashion.
Following that settlement, and while the Yousoufian case worked its way through the legal system, Metropolitan King County Councilmembers Bob Ferguson and Reagan Dunn introduced legislation to reform the county's public records process. The council unanimously approved the legislation last fall.
"The Yousoufian case helped motivate the council to reform our public disclosure process," said Ferguson. "It was an expensive lesson, but it is my intent that the adopted reforms will begin a new era of transparency in county government."
The legislation incorporated recommendations from Attorney General Rob McKenna's model rules for public records retention and disclosure, the Washington state auditor, and a work group consisting of both County Council and executive staff and the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney. It requires:
• Each county agency to develop a standard request form and post the form on its Web site, making it easier for citizens to complete records requests,
• Each agency to clearly identify its public records officer to ensure that citizens know exactly whom to contact. Contact information for the officer will be posted at the agency's public service counters and on its Web site,
• If an agency declines to disclose a document on the basis that it is exempt under state law, the agency must provide a written explanation of how the claimed exemption applies to the document being withheld. This requirement allows the public to determine whether the exemption claim is valid,
• Annual reports to be submitted to the County Council tracking each agencies' records requests and responsiveness,
• If an agency does not have all of the records a citizen is seeking, county employees should direct the public to the appropriate agency,
• Each agency should provide maximum guidance and information on their Web sites about making public records requests,
• Each agency should post commonly requested documents on their Web sites.
King County is required under the state Public Records Act to provide citizens with access to public records upon request. The law defines a public record as "any state or local record relating to the performance and conduct of government." Public records may be in the form of a written record, report, handwritten note or memo, e-mail, picture, disk, maps or other medium.

First in Flight
February 21, 2012 | by Perrin Drumm
On February 26, approximately forty million people will tune into ABC to watch the eighty-fourth Academy Awards. It was around this time eighty-three years ago that the first winners of the Academy Award of Merit were notified, via telegraph, even though it would be another three months before the ceremony itself took place—an event that drew an audience of only 270 people, each of whom paid five dollars for a private dinner at the Roosevelt Hotel. While guests dined on filet of sole sauté au buerre and half-broiled chicken on toast, master of ceremonies Douglas Fairbanks dispensed with the awards in a mere fifteen minutes. There were no speeches and no cameras. It was the only untelevised Academy Awards in history.
There aren't too many people who are still under the impression that the Oscars shine an unbiased eye on all the films of the year. But, in fact, it was never intended to be an impartial awards ceremony. According to MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer, who created the awards, "the best way to handle [filmmakers] was to hang medals all over them ... If I got them cups and awards they'd kill themselves to produce what I wanted. That's why the Academy Award was created." Predictable though they may now be, even the most jaded of cinephiles can't help but get at least a little excited when the nominations are announced each year.
Only this year one not-so-predictable contender was announced: the unlikely audience favorite The Artist swept up ten Oscar nominations, including Best Motion Picture. If it wins it will be only the second silent film in history to win in the category. The other was Wings, a war film by William A. Wellman, which won Best Picture at the very first Academy Awards.
This fact alone is a point of contention. In 1929 the Best Picture award was split into two separate categories, Unique and Artistic Production, which went to F. W. Murnau's Sunrise: A Tale of Two Humans, and Outstanding Picture, Production, which went to Wellman's action-packed WWI aviation adventure. The next year, when the award was consolidated into the single Best Motion Picture, it was Wings that went down in the books as the sole winner and, according to many historians, as the last great silent film.

If you are a writer with any presence on the Internet, even a very obscure one, you often get e-mails from strangers. Sometimes these strangers are quite eccentric, like the guy who once sent me a short story about men who were enslaved for breeding purposes and fed dog food. So I didn't give much thought to a cryptic e-mail I got in the summer of 2009 from a person named Innocente Fontana.
The e-mail contained a few terse words of praise for my first novel. I wrote back, "Innocente Fontana can't possibly be your real name … can it?" He didn't respond; three months passed. During that time, I was living off of unemployment benefits and savings from a job I'd recently lost, and I was feeling exhausted. To make a living as a writer, as I was trying to do, seemed impossible.
In the fall, presumably because he'd read a blog post I wrote about traveling in Morocco, Fontana e-mailed again. This e-mail was longer and mentioned that, decades back, he'd spent time in Tangier. He said he'd known Paul Bowles during that time, that Bowles had become his literary mentor. Skeptical, I probed for more detail. Who was he, really? Read More »

BOSTON -- Johnny Damon has returned to play against the Boston Red Sox, the club for which he was a hero on the curse-ending 2004 World Series championship team. He was asked if Red Sox fans might let up on booing him now that he's not with the hated, arch-rival New York Yankees.
"No," Damon said, "they know I can still be a difference-maker, and they'll still be on me. They've definitely gotten on me since I went to the Yankees (2006-09). Most felt like it was all on me for leaving Boston, but a lot of people understood, too."
However, he will have to wait until at least Saturday to find out about the Fenway faithful (or unfaithful). Damon was a late scratch from the starting lineup with upper back spasms.
He is the only Tiger who gets booed regularly at various road locales and was particularly unpopular in Anaheim, where Angels fans remembered him and the Yankees beating their club in the 2009 ALCS.
"There are haters everywhere," Damon said. "I have to handle it. If I didn't, I wouldn't be playing anymore."
Damon comes to Beantown with a hot bat. He's at .314 (28-for-89) with eight doubles, four home runs and 14 RBIs in his past 25 games.

The Film
For nine years, Gloria Turner has nurtured and loved what she has inherited: her family's farm, a truck, and her great grandfather. On her great grandfather's 100th birthday, she hires the "Cracker Man" to set off fireworks. His presence on the farm brings more than paper and powder, smoke and noise. The Cracker Man, a classic Southern drama, explores the emotions and actions of three characters whose lives are interwoven through celebration and tragedy in 1940s rural Alabama. Their lives are changed forever by the incendiary bursts of color that shoot through the sky.

Mariah Dunham of Baraga Has Beens goes up for a layup against a Norway defender in the Women's championship game Sunday afternoon at the Gold Medal Classic in Hermansville. Baraga won 54-47.
"This was a real good time for me to hang out with our seniors," said Dunham, a former Northern Michigan University cager. "We also brought an eighth-grader with us. This was a real good game. In the second half, we were able to control things a little better."
Dunham opened the second-half scoring by driving the baseline for a short jump shot and a 30-22 lead.
Florence Auto Parts, comprised of Norway High School seniors, trimmed its deficit to 37-35 on Megan Kangas's 20-foot jumper from the right wing midway through the second half.
Baraga responded with a 9-0 run, gaining a 46-37 advantage on a short jumper by Dunham with 7:40 left to play.
Katie Schojth's began that run by draining a shot from the corner, followed by back-to-back 3-point shots by Bridgette LaPointe, who finished with nine points.
"That gave us a little momentum," said Dunham. "I think that also took the wind out of their sails. Although, they kept battling which was real nice to see. It was a little nerve-wracking early in the game. They have a couple quick guards who were hitting some shots."
Kangas finished with 17 points and Bailey Grayvold added 12 for Florence, which held an early 8-5 lead.
Dunham hit 29 points in Baraga's 61-54 semifinal conquest of Crystal Falls McNeil's Oilers. Alicia Tollefson scored 22 for McNeil's.
Kangas scored 13 as Florence turned back Hermansville PLD Warehousing in the other semifinal. Emily Lehto had eight for PLD.
Dunham's 21 points and LaPointe's 18 led Baraga in Saturday's 67-52 quarterfinal victory over Hermansville Rochon CTR 44. Shelle Rochon hit 16 and Rikki Gingras added 12 for CTR 44.
Kangas hit 11 and Grayvold had 10 as Florence cruised past Powers Moraska Saw 57-25 in another quarterfinal.
Lehto scored 25 points and Breanne Stroud added 13 as PLD opened with a 63-46 triumph over Keweenaw Bar. Kelsey Anonich led Keweenaw with 19. Rachel Ekert had 13.
Tollefson scored hit nine points as McNeil's topped Kimberly, Wis. Coleman Crane Engineering 37-31. Jessica Roell had 10 for Coleman.
In the Class D men's final on Sunday, Brett Branstrom hit 14 points and Outstanding Player Tyler Veraghen added 11 as Powers Big R defeated Carney Juice Promotions 59-53.
Tom Granquist scored 16 and Mike Polfus had 14 for Juice Promotions.
Veraghen scored 18 points in a semifinal contest on Saturday as Big R edged Menominee Duby Park 54-51. Aaron Pettit hit 19 and Dave Miller had 18 for Menominee.
Polfus tossed in 40 points in the other semifinal Friday night as Juice Promotions rolled past Marinette Marine 114-87. Wade Schetter added 17. Nate Matkowski scored 26 and Ryan Carlson had 19 for Marinette.
Daggett Kakuk Construction was crowned Class EE champion Sunday night, topping Norway Lofholm Lumber 67-52.
Tyler Price hit 23 points. Ben Kitkowski tallied 19 and Outstanding Player Sam Larson had 13.
Geoff Smart scored 17 and Brady Grayvold added 10 for Lofholm's.
Price scored 22 points and received Outstanding Player honors in Class E Saturday night, leading Juice Promotions to a 79-69 victory Powers Moraska Saw in the title game. Ben Kitkowski added 13. Derek Pistulka scored 31 and Gage Webster had 17 for Powers.
John Swanson scorched the nets for 51 points Sunday morning, leading Niagara, Wis. Bob's Country Bar to the Recreation Division title with a 76-71 triumph over Felch Solberg's Supper Club. Eric Schemmel paced Solberg's with 18. Jansen Baij and Dave Anderson had 14 apiece.
Schemmel's 12 points was enough to help Solberg's edge Norway Thirsty Whale 49-45 in Saturday's semifinal. Brent Schupp had 11 for Thirsty Whale.
Bob's gained its title-round berth by taking a forfeit from Niagara Euro League.
In another late Friday contest, Outstanding Player Joe Pontbriand tossed in 32 points, leading Norway Jeffrey John Seamless Gutters in an 84-72 conquest of Carney Tom's Disposal in the Class C title game. Mitch Horn added 22.

HOLYOKE – The Fire Commission will interview five candidates for fire chief Oct. 13 and could fill the position that night, an official said.
The candidates are provisional Deputy Chief Joseph Snyder and captains John McGillicuddy, John Pond, David O'Connor and Joseph Beaulieu, Commission Chairwoman Priscilla F. Chesky said Tuesday.
The commission will interview each candidate for a half-hour. The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. at Fire Department headquarters, 600 High St., she said.
The job will have a yearly salary of $95,000 to $104,500, officials said.
If a new chief isn't appointed Oct. 13, it would likely happen within a week of the interviews, Chesky said.
"I don't know if the board will make an appointment that night or if we'll reconvene the next week. We may take the weekend to think about it," Chesky said.
The Fire Department has had acting chiefs since the January 2010 retirement of former chief David A. LaFond. Deputy Fire Chief Robert Shaw has been acting fire chief since mid-June.
Firefighters look forward to having a permanent chief, said Timothy J. Leary, president of the Holyoke Fire Fighters Association, Local 1693, International Association of Fire Fighters.
"It will definitely bring more stability to the department, having a permanent chief," Leary said.
The original field of candidates was six. Capt. Paul Gubala was eliminated in evaluations that included an assessment center with role-playing and other tests Sept. 13 and 14, Chesky said.
The commission is required to interview only the top three ranked candidates, but five are being interviewed because of a three-way tie for third place, Chesky said.
Also, City Solicitor Lisa A. Ball said her understanding was the commission's interviews can be done in sessions open to the public.
Holyoke could have new fire chief soon with interviews set for 5 candidates

Clutching a rosary in his right hand, Brandon Ramos, 18, said he felt safer in the hospital than he does in his Jackson home.
Released Friday after being stabbed twice in the neck in his backyard May 25, Ramos' homecoming was marked by word that the man accused of stabbing him had been set free.
Jerry Clark, 26, of Jackson, who is charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, was released from jail Thursday on a personal recognizance bond by Judge Darryl Mazur.
"It's not right that somebody can almost murder somebody and then get out free," said Ramos, who spent three days on life support.
