State prosecutors have won their first conviction out of law enforcement efforts to dismantle a Klamath County drug ring with links to a drug cartel.
Lee J. Hartsfield, 20, of Klamath Falls, pleaded
guilty to racketeering last week and was sentenced to two years in prison. His attorney, Jason Mahan of Roseburg, declined comment.
He was among 47 charged in what investigators dubbed Operation Trojan Horse. Police raided homes and businesses throughout Klamath County in May, culminating a months-long investigation triggered by the murder of two apparent drug dealers.
The two victims, from the San Francisco area, were found shot to death last October on a ranch near the remote community of Bonanza. A pick-up truck belonging to one of the men was found at another ranch, where it had been torched.
The drug trafficking organization distributed meth throughout Klamath County and also traded in guns, law enforcement officials. Authorities have remained mum about the group's links to a Mexican drug cartel.
In a series published last week, The Oregonian reported that the violent cartels control virtually all heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine flowing into Oregon.
The Klamath County drug ring took root as a local drug team was disbanded because of inadequate funding. The state Criminal Justice Division stepped in to investigate the drug ring, working with local police, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives. The raids in May took 300 officers in the largest such police operation conducted in Oregon.
The scope forced the Klamath County Sheriff's Office to open a mothballed jail pod. To stay within budget in a new fiscal year that started Monday, jail officials closed the pod, releasing four women and one man awaiting prosecution on charges related to the meth ring.
Three others remain fugitives, according to police. Steven A. Burkett, 30, and Marla Kay Cullen, 51, both of Klamath Falls, are wanted on a charge of delivering meth. Samuel Silvia Morelos, 30, also of Klamath Falls, is wanted for racketeering and delivering meth.
As the investigation into the ring continued, Oregon State Police found 11 pounds of meth after stopping a Land Rover near Klamath Falls June 23. They arrested James E. Gonzalez, 25, of Norwalk, Calif. Police don't believe the meth was destined for Klamath County, but the seizure underscores the growing importance of U.S. 97 as a major drug trafficking route out of California.
State police also dispatched extra detectives to Klamath County to help investigate two recent homicides. The cases strained already thin local agencies.
Klamath County District Attorney Rob Patridge identified the latest victims as Randal Ray Gallagher, 43, shot to death in Klamath Falls on June 14, and David Joseph Kelly Costa, 32, shot to death outside Chiloquin June 24.
Law enforcement officials said Gallagher was suspected of trafficking in meth but haven't established if he was connected to the large meth ring. Gallagher had an extensive criminal record, paroled from prison in 2010. Corrections Department records show Gallagher was the leader of a prison gang.
Police said Gallagher may have been acquainted with the second victim, but they haven't established a connection between the two killings.

EAST LONGMEADOW – The town's rail trail-bicycle path, which residents have been hearing about for more than six years, is finally being paved.
The much anticipated trail should be completed by the end of July, according to Green Committee chairman James D. Driscoll.
The total cost of the latest phase of the project, including the paving, is $900,000, Driscoll said. Most of the project's costs are being funded by federal and state grants.
"We are excited to see the project moving forward," said Green Committee member Carleen Eve Fischer Hoffman.
The state Highway Department has listed the path under planned projects for its annual transportation improvement program. And, Driscoll credits U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield, with securing federal funds for the project years ago.
"We are very grateful to him for his efforts on this project," Driscoll said. "I'm sure he is as anxious as we are to see it completed."
Green Committee member Benjamin Hall said the first phase of the trail will go from Denslow Road, near Hasbro and Lenox American Saw, to Maple Street. The second phase will run from Maple Street to Heritage Park.
"That's what we would like to see next, but we don't have the funding for it at this time," he said.
WestMass Area Development Corp. has donated some land, including a lake that Driscoll says he hopes to eventually see incorporated into the rail trail. He said he believes he can work with the town's Department of Public Works to complete the next phase of the project at a fraction of the cost.
"Once we have the first phase completed we want to keep the momentum going to complete the rest of the path," he said.
Fischer Hoffman said the Department of Public Works and her committee hope to work with industrial businesses along the path to provide passive recreation for trail users.
Sean Kelly, a town public works employee, is serving as the project manager. Gomes Construction Co., of Ludlow, was awarded the contract for the paving work.

Associated Press Writer
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Two of New Jersey's top stories of 2007 collided -- literally -- when Gov. Jon Corzine was speeding to a meeting between the Rutgers women's basketball team and radio shock jock Don Imus, who had trashed the players on the air as "nappy-headed hos."
The governor's near-fatal crash and Imus getting fired were among the biggest news stories in 2007.
The year began with Corzine considering leasing toll roads to raise billions, but saying very little about it. Lawmakers were struggling to bring down sky-high property taxes. And Jim and Dina McGreevey were battling each other over a host of issues, including whose tell-all book would sell better.
As 2007 ends, Corzine still isn't talking much about the toll roads plan, property taxes are still through the roof, and the McGreeveys are still battling -- most recently over a birthday pony party for their 6-year-old daughter.
It was a year that reinforced what we already knew about living in the Garden State: It's expensive, crowded, often strange, but rarely dull.
Here's a month-by-month look at 2007 in the land of tolls, taxes and Tony Soprano:
-- The year begins with Corzine and Democratic leaders looking for a large infusion of cash for New Jersey's needs -- and finding it in the state's toll roads. Legislators say up to $15 billion could be raised by leasing the highways, including the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike, but Corzine refuses to go into much detail about the plan -- one that would remain largely secret throughout the year.
-- Families of three college freshmen killed in a dorm room fire at Seton Hall University in 2000 denounce the two students who admitted setting the fire as cowards who should "both rot in hell forever." Joseph T. LePore and Sean Ryan get five-year prison terms, but will be eligible for parole next summer.
-- Three teens from Freehold Borough High School die in a fiery crash that also killed a 68-year-old school van driver, and shined a spotlight on the issue of restrictions for New Jersey's newest drivers. It was the first of several such crashes that would kill teen drivers this year in New Jersey.
-- Fans of pop diva Whitney Houston snap up memorabilia including costumes she once wore onstage. They were sold at auction in Irvington because the Grammy-winning singer fell $175,000 behind on storage fees.
-- McGreevey returns to the Statehouse for the first time since announcing he was a "gay American" and stepping down in 2004. The occasion was the unveiling of his official portrait. Two weeks later, his estranged wife Dina announces she is writing a book, "Silent Partner," about their time together. His book, "The Confession," was published several months earlier.
-- Gay and lesbian couples begin claiming their right to the legal benefits of marriage in ceremonies permitted by New Jersey's new civil unions law; the state is the third in the nation to pass such a law.
-- Atlantic City bans smoking on three-quarters of the gambling floor at its 11 casinos, and begins to feel the pinch from slots parlors in Pennsylvania and New York stealing its customers. It's soon apparent that 2007 will be the first year in the 29-year-history of casinos in New Jersey that revenue actually declines from the year before.
-- Eleven years after her murder in Ocean County, Kathleen Weinstein talks to the jury in the trial of the man who would be convicted of murdering her. The Monmouth County teacher had a tape recorder secretly rolling in her pocket as she tried to convince carjacker Michael LaSane to keep the car and let her go, to no avail.
-- "American Idol" contestant Antonella Barba from Point Pleasant is humiliated when racy photos of her surface on the Internet as she competes on the wildly popular TV singing show. She survives several weeks, but ultimately it's her voice, not her body, that gets her booted. Her advice: "Be careful who you trust."
-- Jim McGreevey files for divorce from Dina, calling it "a sad day for everyone."
-- One of the most powerful politicians in south Jersey takes a spectacular fall as state Sen. Wayne Bryant is indicted on charges he used his political clout to steer millions in aid to two state schools that gave him no-show jobs.
-- Atlantic City's once-powerful City Council President Craig Callaway enters federal court with his middle finger raised high before telling a judge he took bribes "for the people." Unimpressed, the judge sends Callaway to prison for 40 months.
-- An 18-year-old Rider University freshman drinks himself to death, and two university administrators are charged with criminal hazing charges stemming from the rowdy frat party at which the incident occurred. Those charges are later dropped, and Rider adopts strict new rules governing on-campus alcohol use. Two of the university's five fraternity chapters are disbanded.
-- A surprise addition to Long Beach Island beaches is discovered after a massive sand replenishment project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. More than 1,000 pieces of unexploded World War II ordnance, including bomb fuses, were sucked from the ocean floor and pumped onto the shoreline. Locals fume, towns prohibit digging more than 12 inches deep in the sand, and T-shirt merchants sell out of shirts proclaiming "I Got Bombed on Long Beach Island."
-- Jim McGreevey asks for custody of his daughter, and child support from his ex-wife.
-- The joy of the Rutgers team's sprint to the national championship game (which they lost) is wrecked when Imus calls them "nappy-headed hos" on his nationally syndicated radio show. He meets with them at the governor's mansion and apologizes, which the team accepts. Imus is fired by CBS, but returns to the airwaves in December on Citadel Broadcasting Corp., vowing to watch what he and his guests say from now on.
-- On his way from Atlantic City to Princeton, where he planned to attend a meeting between the Rutgers players and Imus, Corzine's trooper-driven SUV is clipped by another vehicle and crashes into a guardrail. The governor breaks 15 bones and is critically injured. It would require months of convalescence and four surgeries to repair the damage. Corzine later voluntarily pays a $46 fine for not wearing a seat belt and records a public service ad in which he urges people to buckle up, declaring, "I'm New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, and I should be dead."
-- Teams of law enforcement agents close in on bank robbery suspects in Hunterdon County with tragic results. FBI agent Barry Lee Bush is fatally shot, and the agency later says he may have been killed accidentally by another agent. He is the first FBI agent to be killed in the line of duty in New Jersey. Four men face trial on charges stemming from several bank robberies and the agent's death.
-- Corzine signs a bill giving most homeowners a 20 percent property tax cut.
-- Families of four workers killed in 2003 when a parking garage under construction at the Tropicana Casino Resort collapsed in Atlantic City, and 36 others who were injured, get a $101 million settlement.
-- The judge hearing the McGreeveys' divorce case issues the first of several public scoldings, urging the squabbling spouses to use "common sense" and not make the dispute a bigger public spectacle than it already is.
-- Five foreign-born Muslims are arrested and charged with scheming to attack the Army's Fort Dix and massacre U.S. soldiers. The plot is discovered when a quick-thinking clerk at a Circuit City outlet tells the FBI about footage of the men firing assault weapons and screaming about jihad on a video they asked him to transfer to DVD. The five are awaiting trial; a sixth man pleads guilty to charges that he provided weapons to the others.
-- A National Guard pilot on a training run over the tinder-dry Pinelands in Ocean County touches off a 17,000-acre wildfire when he drops a flare too low on a hot, windy day. Flames destroy four homes in two senior citizen housing developments, and damage 37 others as 6,000 people flee.
-- Former National Hockey League player Rick Tocchet pleads guilty to promoting gambling 14 months after he and a state trooper are charged with running a gambling ring with ties to organized crime. Tocchet avoids a jail sentence, while the trooper gets five years.
-- Dina McGreevey goes on the "Oprah" show to answer the one question America wants to know -- did she know? She says: "No one ever said to me that he was gay. It's a cliche that the wife is always the last to know, and it's true."
-- A government records dispute heats up between Corzine and state Republicans over e-mails that could shed light on his relationship with an ex-girlfriend to whom he gave millions of dollars in gifts -- and who happens to lead the largest state employees union. Corzine still refuses to turn over the communications with Carla Katz.
-- The legislature approves a $33.48 billion budget -- early for a change -- that calls for no tax increases while boosting property tax relief.
-- After six seasons, many murders and even more Emmy awards, "The Sopranos" comes to an end. The HBO series about a beleaguered north Jersey mob boss made Tony, Carmela, Paulie Walnuts and others household names around the world. And it put New Jersey on the map in a way that not everyone was thrilled about. The finale was one of the most anticipated in TV history, and here's how it ended
(Confused? So are millions of viewers when the screen abruptly cuts to black in the final scene, leaving the crucial question of whether Tony lived or died to the imagination, and angering many longtime fans of the show.)
-- Sharpe James, the longtime mayor of Newark and state senator, is indicted on federal corruption charges. He's accused of using city-issued credit cards to pay for $58,000 worth of personal trips, and engineering the sale of city-owned property at cut rates to his traveling companion, Tamika Riley. He denies the allegations, and will stand trial next year.
-- Rock and rap stars join Al Gore at a massive Meadowlands concert to encourage people to battle climate change. The Live Earth show at Giants Stadium draws 52,000 fans and is one of nine such concerts held simultaneously around the world.
-- James G. Madison, a 50-year-old machinist, is arrested after robbing 19 banks in 10 months. In each case, he wears a hat, earning him the nickname "The Hat Bandit." He is to be sentenced in January 2008.
-- Weeks after winning the Miss New Jersey pageant, Amy Polumbo of Howell goes public with an alleged blackmail attempt. She goes on television and shares embarrassing party photos of her that she claims an anonymous blackmailer sent to pageant officials trying to force her to resign. The pageant rules that while the photos show her acting "not in a ladylike manner," they're not bad enough to strip her of the title.
-- The execution-style shootings of four college-age youths in a schoolyard sends Newark reeling and generates new calls to end the deadly violence there. One of the six suspects charged in the case is an illegal immigrant who was free on bail on child rape charges when the young people were killed. Families of the victims are upset later in the year when the incident is used as the plot line for an episode of the TV show "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."
-- A Wall Street lawyer working with a coalition to study what's publicly known about Corzine's toll hike plan says the increase could go as high as 150 percent, making the average New Jersey Turnpike commuter pay $2,400 a year in tolls.
-- Flamboyant political scandal remains alive and well in Atlantic City as five men -- including a former city council president already in prison and a current councilman -- are indicted on charges they took part in a scheme to blackmail another councilman. The scheme involved luring the targeted councilman to a motel room laden with hidden cameras, where he engaged in sex with a prostitute.
-- FBI agents arrest 11 public officials in towns across New Jersey on charges of taking bribes in exchange for influencing the awarding of public contracts. Those arrested include Democratic state Assemblymen Alfred E. Steele and Mims Hackett Jr. (also the mayor of Orange); Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera, three city councilmen and several school board members from various municipalities. U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie says the roundup "just continues to scratch the surface of the problem we have here in New Jersey."
-- Topps Meat Co. is forced to recall nearly 22 million pounds of ground beef after E. coli contamination is found in frozen hamburgers made at its Elizabeth plant. People in eight states are sickened, and the company later goes out of business.
-- Corzine undergoes his fourth operation as he continues to recover from his April crash.
-- A new survey shows New Jersey drivers still pay more for auto insurance than residents of any other state. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners finds the average Garden State driver paid $1,184 to insure each car in 2005.
-- Shortly after he enters the seminary to study to become an Episcopal priest, Jim McGreevey is ordered by a judge to more than double the amount of child support he must pay Dina, to $2,500 a month. She wanted $4,000.
-- The arena many people thought would never be built opens in Newark with 10 concerts by New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi. The Prudential Center becomes the new home of the New Jersey Devils hockey team.
-- In about the time it takes for a roulette ball to fall and settle onto a number in the spinning wheel, the Sands Casino Hotel in Atlantic City is demolished in a controlled implosion -- the first of a casino on the East Coast of the United States. A new $1.5 billion casino is planned for the site.
-- Two weeks after dropping out of sight and earning worldwide headlines as the "Missing Mayor," Atlantic City Mayor Bob Levy surfaces, admits he lied about his Vietnam War service to fatten his veterans' benefits check, and resigns. That same day, MGM Mirage announces a new $5 billion casino-hotel project that would dwarf anything Atlantic City has ever seen.
-- Voters reject a proposal heavily backed by Corzine to borrow $450 million to finance stem cell research. He argues the money would help find cures for conditions such as spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease, sickle cell anemia and multiple sclerosis. But the measure is opposed by anti-abortion activists, conservatives and the Roman Catholic Church because it would pay for research that destroys human embryos and would increase state debt.
-- Merck & Co. sets aside nearly $5 billion to end thousands of lawsuits over its painkiller Vioxx in one of the largest drug settlements ever.
-- Profits plunge and customers flee at the Tropicana Casino and Resort during more than two weeks of hearings on a new license, where embarrassing details about problems with cleanliness, service and staffing emerge. The owners of the property, which includes New Jersey's largest hotel at 2,129 rooms, are later stunned when the state Casino Control Commission refuses to renew the Tropicana's license. It's only the second time in the 29-year history of casino gambling in New Jersey that the commission denies a license renewal, and it puts the Tropicana up for sale.
-- Corzine signs a law making New Jersey the first state in four decades to abolish the death penalty, replacing it with life in prison without parole. The measure spares eight men on the state's death row, including Jesse Timmendequas, a sex offender who murdered 7-year-old Megan Kanka in 1994. The case inspired Megan's Law, which requires law enforcement agencies to notify the public about convicted sex offenders living in their communities.
-- New Jersey becomes the first state in the nation to require flu shots for preschoolers, starting next September.
-- Corzine says he will ask that federal oversight of the New Jersey State Police be ended after years of monitoring following allegations of widespread racial profiling by troopers.
-- Rutgers football coach Greg Schiano rejects overtures from Michigan and says he will stay in New Jersey.
-- A former municipal court judge who says he never received credit or compensation for help he gave "Sopranos" creator David Chase 12 years ago presses his case in federal court. Robert Baer, who was also an aspiring screenwriter and former prosecutor, arranged a three-day tour of North Jersey mob sites for Chase in 1995, and contends the Emmy-award winning writer owes him for his services in arranging meetings with experts and subsequent conversations. The response from Chase and the federal jury: Fuhgeddaboudit.

The question of "Who started Facebook" is a conversation that pales in comparison to who's actually running it these days. However, the discussion over who truly originated the idea for Facebook will be in the spotlight until those involved are either paid off or silenced by the more dominant player.
John Markoff of the The New York Times wrote an incredible piece that adds to the controversy of who started the popular network. His article is compelling because it approaches the discussion from a personal perspective rather than calling the blow-by-blow shots of he said, he said, he said.
Markoff introduces Aaron J. Greenspan, a fourth Harvard classmate that seems to also have had the idea for what Facebook is today – in fact, he may have even been the creator of its name.
By now we all know the story of Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and how they're suing Mark Zuckerberg in Federal District Court in Boston. Their claim is that Zuckerberg stole the idea for Facebook while working with the duo at ConnectU. They further allege that Zuckerberg also stole code before leaving the startup to pursue his own endeavor.

Does the Winklevoss' story have merit? It's certainly an interesting set of accusations and Silicon Valley is loving the gossip. But we'll have to wait as the suit has been postponed. The Winklevoss brothers were asked to reconstruct their case because it wasn't strong enough as is. Zuckerberg is seeking to have the suit dismissed.
Enter Greenspan. He claims that he is actually the creator of the original college network and he says he has the emails to prove it.
In 2003, the Harvard student created houseSYSTEM, a network used by several thousand students for a variety of online college-related tasks. houseSYSTEM launched six months before Facebook started and eight months before ConnectU went online. Zuckerberg was a member – perhaps for research purposes.
The New York Times quoted an email provided by Greenspan which was sent to Harvard students on Sept. 19, 2003. It described the newest feature of houseSYSTEM, as "the Face Book," an online system for quickly locating other students." The date was four months before Zuckerberg started his own site, originally called "thefacebook.com."
In 2006, Greenspan earned media attention when he wrote an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg in response to Facebook's denial of Yahoo's acquisition bid for a mere $900 million.
Greenspan popped the cork of the bitterness and anger that had remained bottled up for several years and is evident in his words, "Remember the Web site you signed up for at Harvard two days before we met in January, 2004, called houseSYSTEM — the one I made with the Universal Face Book that predated your site by four months? Well, I've relaunched it as CommonRoom and just like its predecessor, it has all sorts of features that might seem familiar: birthday reminders, an event calendar, RSVPs, how you know someone, photo albums, courses posters."
He continued, "After all, when you saw all of those features in houseSYSTEM three years ago, you called them 'too useful,' but I stood by them as valuable. Fortunately, even though I shut down houseSYSTEM, I can still use those same features on Facebook — and I didn't even have to write any more code!"
Despite his bitterness, Greenspan is moving on and it doesn't seem that he will throw his hat into the Facebook lawsuit ring, for now. In fact he has declined to be a witness in the ConnectU case.
Alan is currently working on a new startup, CommonRoom, a social networking and business Web site. He is also working on Qubescape which promises to turn business software on his head.
Zuckerberg is rumored to already be worth $1 billion and Facebook is currently one of the hottest sites on the Web with 37 million users and growing, rapidly. At that level, it's almost unheard of if someone doesn't try to take a piece of you. It's just part of the game.
For the most part, if ideas severed as inspiration, Zuckerberg brilliantly pieced them together to create a successful business venture. In most cases the idea is just the first step. The rest is up to execution and endurance.
Perhaps Zuckerberg is merely following in the footsteps of Bill Gates. Remember, it was Gates, a young Harvard dropout, and his classmate, Paul G. Allen, who copied a version of the BASIC programming language, originally designed by two Dartmouth college professors, to start a little company called Microsoft.

For those of you who got a barrier-free eastbound pass Tuesday morning through the Easton construction zone on Route 22 won't be as lucky today.
The barriers were up before 5:30.
Tuesday's restrictions went in late because Pennsylvania Department of Transportation work was going on overnight in the zone, a Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission spokesman said.
Traffic was very light at 5:30 on Route 22, and Interstate 78 in Williams Township had significantly more traffic this morning, as is the plan, the bridge commission has said.
The commission has begun a nearly two-year construction project which will repair the toll bridge and nearby overpasses and ramps. Round-the-clock restrictions in both directions go in place July 8 and will stay there until the winter.

ANN ARBOR -- When it comes to big games on the road, Michigan's tried a little bit of everything, but nothing's really worked.
In 2011, before kicking off their first serious road test of the year at Michigan State, the Wolverines went with a pregame jersey switch. They lost by 14.
In 2012, there were the camouflage T-shirts that read "Road Warrior" on the front. They worked at lowly Purdue. But when things got tough at Nebraska and Ohio State, the T-shirts were ... well, just T-shirts.
In 2013, it all imploded. Michigan's toughest road tests were at Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa. It lost every one of them. It also barely beat a 3-9 UConn team and a Northwestern club that went 1-7 in league play.
In 2014? Brady Hoke's turned to music, among other things. The Notre Dame fight song, to be specific. Played over, and over, and over again -- at a high volume -- every practice.
"(It's) somewhat annoying," said Michigan running back De'Veon Smith, who will look to help Michigan score a win Saturday at No. 16 Notre Dame (7:30 p.m., NBC).
The Wolverines are currently 6-8 in road games under Brady Hoke. In road trips to rivals Notre Dame, Michigan State and Ohio State, Hoke's Michigan teams are an even 0-4.
Whether it was the six turnovers at Notre Dame in 2012, the questionable play calling later that season in Columbus or the inability to answer the bell physically in East Lansing in 2011 and 2013, there's no getting around it.
Hoke's teams have yet to score a truly elite-level road win, and on top of that, Michigan has not beaten a ranked club in a true road game since knocking off No. 2 Notre Dame in 2006.
Asked if there's been a common theme with Michigan's recent road struggles, Hoke's never been able to fully put his finger on it.
Asked why he believes this team is different, Devin Gardner had trouble putting it into words.
He just does.
"I really don't know how to answer that," he said. "I just know how we prepare, and the intensity we play with in practice, it's like a road game every day.
"They're putting a lot of stress on us to play hard, to communicate through loud music, things like that. That's a big thing, communication. That's usually what stops teams, not being able to communicate. We worked on that through camp, and we'll continue to do it."
Michigan has talked for months about the level of intensity new offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier has brought to the practice field, as the pace he has the offense play at during drills brings up the level of intensity for everyone on the field -- defense included.
Hoke has also said the staff has done its best to continually put the team in stressful spots during practice. Whether it be a drill or a scrimmage situation, they're doing whatever they can to make uncomfortable spots seem routine.
Because, frankly, there's no getting around the fact that the road struggles haven't gone away.
"It'll be interesting to see how some of them react (at Notre Dame Stadium)," Hoke said. "And we've talked about it as coaches, how some of them have (reacted on the road in the past). And that's why we tried to put as much stress as we could all through fall camp.
"We wanted to see how they react."
How Michigan reacts Saturday will be telling insight as to whether or not Hoke's offseason approach to the Wolverines' road struggles has worked. But it could also mean much more.
At this point in the season, the Wolverines are still a young football team in search of true, battle-tested confidence. Michigan got off on the right foot a week ago with a seamless 52-14 win over Appalachian State. As far as openers go, it was exactly what this young team needed.
But adversity is bound to strike eventually, and adverse situations will surely arise Saturday in South Bend. How will Michigan handle them? Will the Wolverines be able to turn an early-season tilt against Notre Dame into the type of confidence-builder it grabbed in 2011?
Or will a loss strike a mental blow to a team that struggled with consistency week-to-week a year ago?
Michigan insists its a different team in 2014.
On Saturday, we'll start figuring out how true that really is.
"We've had great leadership throughout (the team), and that's a big part of it," Hoke said. "There's obviously philosophies you believe in and there are things that aren't going to change, but it's also (important to) see where they're at a little bit."

With a vastly improved all-around game, Arizona forward Derrick Williams has gone from a potential first-round pick to a likely top-three selection when the NBA conducts its draft on June 23.
Making significant strides in nearly every major statistical category during his sophomore season, Williams led the Wildcats to a 30-8 record before the team was eliminated in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament by eventual champion UConn.
"I think a lot of people knew my potential," Williams said at the NBA Draft Combine. "I just had to show it. My freshman year I didn't get to show it a lot because we weren't winning as much. A lot of that stuff has to do with winning as a team before the individual stuff comes. Going from 15-16 at Arizona to 30-8, that really brought the best out of me as an individual."
Williams feels his stock skyrocketed when Arizona upset No. 1 seed Duke in the Sweet 16.
"Before that game, they had me as a 10-15 NBA prospect," Williams said. "I think the Duke game, with how good they are - their whole team, their whole tradition - winning that game really put me over the hump as a top-three pick."Measured at 6-foot-9 (in shoes) and 248 pounds, Williams would either be an undersized power forward or one of the NBA's largest small forwards. There is little doubt in his mind which position he feels he should play.
"Yeah, I'm not a power forward," Williams emphatically stated. "I want to clear that up. I'm a small forward that can play the four. I think there's a big difference between power forward, small forward and a tweener, but I am a small forward that can play the four."
If personal preference isn't enough to set the record straight, Williams believes his workouts will clear up any doubt about his position.
"I'm just a lot more skilled than people think I am," Williams said. "Whoever I schedule for the workouts is going to see that."
One reason to believe Williams' assessment was his remarkable improvement shooting the ball from the outside. As a freshman he made just four of his 16 three-point attempts. Last season, he more than quadrupled his attempts from beyond the arc, and converted a remarkable 56.8 percent.
Even though the three-point line is three feet further from the basket in the NBA, Williams is confident that aspect of his game will translate.
"At first, I struggled with it a bit," Williams admitted. "It's a different ball - the NBA ball - and distance, but I've been working hard ever since I declared for the draft. Right now the NBA three is looking good."
Williams will be long off the board before the Detroit Pistons are on the clock with the eighth pick. Reports suggest the Minnesota Timberwolves are shopping the number two pick, but it's highly unlikely the Pistons have the commodities to facilitate a potential deal.

Three Hits: Chris Douglas-Roberts' floater hands Bobcats key win
Charlotte Bobcats' reserve Chris Douglas-Roberts hit a game-winning shot as time expired on Monday night to keep his team alive in the Eastern Conference's race for the No. 6 playoff seed.
ATLANTA -- With just their second win in the past 14 attempts in Atlanta, the Charlotte Bobcats kept their collective head above water in the "Avoid The Heat Sweepstakes" by hitting a game-winning shot as time expired to knock off the Hawks, 95-93.
1. Chris Douglas-Roberts plays the hero
When the former Memphis star who signed with the Bobcats out of the D-League back in December overheard his team's best player, Al Jefferson, discussing his end-of-game exploits in the locker room, he pleaded for hyperbole. The double-double machine of a forward using the word "great" simply was not good enough Douglas-Roberts. After all, he said he hadn't hit a game-winner since his college days in 2007, so how many will he hit from here on out in his NBA career?
Jefferson obliged.
"Best finish I have ever seen," said Jefferson, who finished with 27 points and 15 rebounds to pace Charlotte's winning effort. "I think when NBA TV comes on, that should be the first clip. Even over LeBron. ... Make sure you tell LeBron I was kidding. I don't want him getting angry."
When asked if his winning floater should upstage The King, The Highlight King no less, Douglas-Roberts, who is averaging 6.8 points in about 20 minutes per game this season, first wanted to know what the reigning NBA MVP had to counter with. When informed that the Heat rested James and Chris Bosh in a loss to Washington (sealing the Heat as the No. 2 seed and keeping the Wizards in the hunt for the No. 6 seed), he contemplated his place in the pecking order.
"He still might get on there."
Even with the Bobcats' primary perimeter scorers, Kemba Walker and Gerald Henderson, sitting on the bench, the ball was not intended to land in Douglas-Roberts' hands. But after a drawn-out series of curls, the 6-foot-7 guard eventually accepted the pass and found enough elbow room to get off his shot -- with plenty of credit being given for Jefferson's screen to free him up.
"He was the last option on that play," said Bobcats coach Steve Clifford, who received 43 total points from his bench. "There were a couple other options the Hawks took away."
Added Douglas-Roberts: "I kinda felt that it was gonna get back out (to me) because Gary was hot that quarter. And I just made the play. ... I've been shooting that shot my whole life. I've been shooting floaters my whole life. That's kinda been my shot forever."
All the same, the reserve had to hit it. He only scored five points in the game, but he hit one when it counted most, keeping his team alive in the race for the 6-seed, in the quest to avoid the defending champs and man that Jefferson jokingly apologized to and the one that Douglas-Roberts assumed he could not surpass on the highlight reels.
2. Two teams, two different playoff scenarios
Douglas-Roberts was not the only member of the Bobcats roster unaware of LeBron James' comings and goings following their 42nd win of the season. Jefferson was also oblivious to Miami coach Eric Spoelstra's decision to rest a couple of his stars -- he knew the final result of the Washington game, he just didn't know the means to the end.
"Be careful what you wish for," Jefferson said, referring to accepting a certain seed by conceding a win.
Though it could not be any other way, it's intriguing to watch how infiltrated the Miami Heat storyline is at this time of the year -- playoff time -- in the locker room of a potential opponent. As playoff scenarios line up for Bobcats and the rest of the NBA playoff teams, the overwhelming sentiment in the underwhelming Eastern Conference is to avoid the Heat at all costs. The Wizards and Bobcats will play for the right to play the 3-seed in the opening round in their respective season finales: Charlotte hosts Chicago, while Washington travels to Boston.

But for all the good-natured posturing surround the Heat matchup, Clifford addressed the situation with disinterest. He has other things to consider.
"The big thing is to be playing well," the first-year head coach said. "Our game is to defend, rebound, low turnover."
They haven't been doing that well enough of late, and there's just one more regular season game to get things back on the right track.
The Hawks, on the other hand, played rather well on Monday night, all things considered, but they were locked into the eighth seed no matter what happened. They could win the next two or lose the next two, and it wouldn't have mattered. The only variable left undecided entering their game against the Bobcats was their future opponent -- and that was decided for them.
It's going to be Pacers-Hawks in the 1-8 matchup. The underdog might like its odds there, too.
3. Hawks starters avoid some mileage
To the surprise of very few in attendance (outside, perhaps, some unsuspecting ticket-holders), the Hawks took advantage of their set-in-stone playoff seed to give some of their starters some rest on Monday night. They'll need them healthy as possible come the weekend. Their first-round matchups pits two teams who split the regular season series.
Budenholzer sat Paul Millsap, DeMarre Carroll and Kyle Korver against the Bobcats, three guys that, outside of point guard Jeff Teague, played the most minutes this season for Atlanta (combined 99.8 points per game). A good portion of that emphasis falls on Korver, who has not played up to his own offensive standards in April. As Atlanta's primary court-spacer -- an asset in Budenholzer's team-focused, complex system -- Korver's scoring numbers and 3-point shooting rates have fallen to season-low rates, so perhaps his legs needed a rest (monthly splits):
November: 12 points per game, 51.4 percent
December: 13.9 points per game, 47.8 percent
January: 10.2 points per game, 41.2 percent
February: 11.9 points per game, 50.8 percent
March: 14.3 points per game, 50.9 percent
April: 9.6 points per game, 40 3-point percent
Millsap and Carroll were playing well over the past month, but at this point, there's very little reason in Budenholzer playing the team's starters serious minutes in the season finale other than to keep them accustomed to the speed of game action, and even then the risk of injury may be too high.
It's not that the Hawks will be considered favorites by any means against an Indiana team that looked excellent for a large portion of the season and once again in a win over Kevin Durant and the Thunder on Saturday, but they will enter this series with confidence. Atlanta is closing the season winning at least six of its final nine games, including victories over Indiana, Miami and Brooklyn. So ... why not? On it's face, it seems better than a meeting with Miami.
"Anybody can beat anybody," Hawks guard Lou Williams said. "We've played well against those guys this season. We look forward to the challenge."

About this font family
Tom Grunwald, aspiring philosopher and tattoo connoisseur, designed Nemek in early 2013. The inspiration came when he had a dream one night in which an eagle took flight from a mountaintop, soaring through the skies as the wind oscillated his feathers. The eagle landed at Tom's feet and gave him a scroll. On this scroll was the Declaration of Independence written in the most beautiful typeface Tom had ever seen – Nemek. Tom woke from this dream and began designing. He doesn't necessarily see himself as the creator of this font, but perhaps the interpreter from minds on the other side of his dreams.
This typeface is great for letters, words, numbers, sentences, Declaration of Independence, soliloquies, paragraphs and resignation speeches. More…

TRENTON – Police are seeking two vehicles they believe were involved in a gunfight while driving on city streets this morning.
Several 911 calls came in around 11:30 a.m. for an SUV being chased by a car with gunmen firing at the other vehicle, though police don't know exactly where the shooting occurred.
"We can't pinpoint exactly where," Sgt. Tony Manzo said.
Both vehicles sped away before police got to the area, which was reported to be around Calhoun Street and West Hanover Street, Manzo said. Police have not yet found physical evidence, but the number of 911 calls they received has convinced them the shooting occurred, he said.
Police are seeking a dark colored vehicle, likely green or blue, that was chased a red Dodge Durango. The Durango may have a back window shot out.
Calls have gone out to area hospitals, but none have reported any shootings victims arriving today.
Anyone with information on the shooting should call police at (609) 989-4170, or the Confidential Tip Line at (609) 989-3663.

Our Mid-Atlantic Club Championship Statistics:
In 2007, at North East Md, we had 54 competitors
In 2008, at the NJ State Triathlon, coinciding with our selection of NJ as the NTP race, we had 108 competitors,
Last year, in 2009, at North East Md, we had 64 competitors. (numbers may be a little off from manual count)
Our biggest competition in 2008 was the New Jersey Shore club, with 39 competitors. Philadelphia Tri club had 15 competitors.
In 2009, our competition was:
Annapolis Triathlon Club: 5, Baltimore Area Tri: 5, Mid Maryland: 4, MOCO Multisport: 1, PaxRiver Tri Club: 1, Penn State Tri: 1, Philly Tri Club: 5, T3: 2, Team Triumph: 3, Tri Velocity: 6
The bar for scoring for your club (ie coming in 5th place or better) in the club competition is lower than you might expect. For review, the points for place are: 1st: 6 pts, 2d: 5 pts, 3d: 4 pts, 4th: 3 pts, 5th: 2 pts. Here are the times which scored 2 points for each age group (some AG's did not have enough participants therefore the time scored higher). If you / our club / another club can beat this time in this AG, it would score points.
M Overall: 2:16 (3rd place - scored 8 pts), F Overall: 2:31 (3rd place - scored 8 pts), F20-24: 3:20, F25-29: 2:36, F30-34: 2:58, F35-39: 3:30, F40-44: 3:12, F 45-49: 4:06 (only 2 participants), F50-54:4:00 (only 2 participants), F60-64: 2:41 (1 participant), M19under: 2:19 (1 participant), M20-24: 3:29 (1 participant), M25-29: 2:30, M30-34 2:35, M35-39: 2:39, M40-44: 2:49, M45-49: 3:23
As posted previously here:
Simon forgot to carry a one,
In 2008 we had 210 athletes on the course!
Thanks Travis,
Not to be argumentative, but in trying to discover the actual number of competitors we had in 2008, the results document has our number at the 108 mentioned previously, with 29 people scoring. I'm open to understanding the discrepancy between our previously reported count of 210 athletes and the official online results showing 108.
The number of competitors in 2009 percent decrease-wise is:
210 athletes to 64 is 70% participation decrease.
108 athletes to 64 is 40% participation decrease.
Still, 64 athletes is more athletes than most clubs have in the first place...
Doh! You're right.... While we did have 210 people on the course, not all of those athletes competed in the Olympic distance race. Apparently 100 of them participated in the Sprint distance which did not score points towards the Club Championship.
However, it was total domination in all aspects of the race!
We also posted ~20-25 volunteers on the course that year.
Philly Tri same weekend as Bike Virginia. Have never willingly missed either. (The sound of hands wringing.)
Ah cool, thanks for the thought Travis. Of course - the sprint race! 210 athletes + volunteers is complete domination. As is 64 (and 64's not counting the sprint triathletes or volunteers either) :).
Ed, can't you do something like race Philly and make part of Bike VA? It would be like a nice fun training weekend.
Well, dang! *%#@! I've already signed up for the new Celebration Sprint Tri in Columbia, MD on the same day. Wish I'd known earlier - I would much rather do the Club Championship with all you guys again. I'll put the Rocketts Landing Tri (around the 24th of July 2011?) on my calendar now!!
$185-$215 for the olympic?! That's robbery!
I agree, what happend to paying $75 when you registered this early? These entry fees have gotten out of control... I went ahead and registered though. Man, this is the first time I've had to plan my entire season out a year in advance!
When I went to register and saw the $197 come up at checkout, I thought for a minute that I had accidentally selected for a half iron distance (which Philly doesn't have)!!! It definitely is getting out of control, but at least there still are some reasonably priced events out there, mainly some of the SetupEvents ones.
Is this the price that Philly has always been or did they jack it up because they knew they had secured the Mid Atlantic Club Championship Race?
That's almost what we paid to race Eagleman. Good grief.
Its a major city (albeit a crappy one....maybe I am still bitter about baseball) so its comparable to what you have to pay for races in other large cities like NYC or DC since the permits cost more money. That said I am not a fan of the price.
welcome to the world of triathlons, congratulations you are now officially ready for the sticker shock of race entry fees!!!!!
yeah its that expensive, get used to it.
Thanks for your insightful comments.
If you're so down with it, feel free to pay my entry fee. This is easily the most expensive olympic near DC that I've ever seen--by a long shot.
Escape from Alcatraz last year was $400. Basically an Olympic plus (1.5 mile swim - fun run in transition - 18 mile bike - 8 mile run (mostly trail). But, I have to say worth it at least once (or 4 times).
What are yu talking about? Nations tri and NYC tri were both equally expensive this last year and Columbia was close behind
note this years nations tri entry is only 10 dollars diff than Philly was when it opened
Yeah, but it's Philly!!! :) NYC and DC races I can see as being expensive (Columbia I just don't get though) given the areas and what has to be closed... National Mall area, major bridges, Central Park for NYC, etc., but what's there in Philly? :) The Philly tri is isolated to a small park area of the city with no major thoroughfares closed off. Pittsburgh has a tri that is only $85 to enter.
Though maybe the Philly tri provide police escort to every racer to prevent them from getting mugged or getting something hurled at them by angry Eagles fans. :)
columbia i can totally understand, its one of the oldest races around with the most history with a course that essentially has not changed for years. there is really no question why columbia is so expensive, because it can be, people will do that race no matter the cost, its one of the better courses around here
also st anthony's another big race in a smaller city but just as expensive but one of the older classic races.
la triathlon, equally as expensive, goes right in the middle of la from the beach.
alcatraz is another beast all together that price has just gotten outragious over the years even faster than most other races.
i have not done but i believe that the chicago tri is just as expensive as these races, but double check, again another major city race.
happy thanksgiving
BTW, word on points or not for volunteers at the race, from one of the organizers (the Nordically named Lars Beck):
"I've copied Gretchen (Cooney) on this email – she has been working with the USAT-MA folks on this. I don't think a club gets points for volunteers (though we'll still love to have them) but I'm not sure. She'll be in touch to confirm...I believe the scoring is being created by USAT-MA but, again, Gretchen will confirm. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you in Philly, Lars."
I responded that points for vols helps hike interest in and attendance at the events (not mentioning it helps the point tally of large clubs like DCT, heh heh).
Their contact info, if you wanted to provide your own two cents:
Update: "Volunteers don't count for scoring points...Scoring has been established by USAT Mid-Atlantic, to mirror USAT national club scoring."

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- If you're making the trip to Atlanta on Saturday, it's probably best to set your alarm for an hour or two earlier than originally planned.
As noted by Grantland.com's Holly Anderson, it's a busy, busy weekend in Atlanta. Not only are Alabama and Virginia Tech playing in one of the weekend's biggest games, but there's also Dragon Con, Atlanta Pride weekend, a NASCAR race and a Labor Day weekend Atlanta Braves series all happening.
In other news, Virginia Tech running back J.C. Coleman probably doesn't care for this week's edition of our AL.com staff college football picks.

PHILADELPHIA — A Monroe Township man on Tuesday was charged with taking part in a Philadelphia mortgage fraud conspiracy that authorities said drew more than $20 million in loans.
Mark Murphy, 47, is accused of submitting false information in getting a $324,000 loan from Washington Mutual Bank. He was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit loan and wire fraud, and one count of loan fraud.
Murphy is the fifth person in the U.S. Attorney's Eastern Pennsylvania district to be charged in connection with the alleged conspiracy. He worked for KREW Settlement Services, a Philadelphia real estate settlement company.
Others are accused of helping to prepare false documents, among other crimes. Overall, the conspiracy also included false receipts for home repairs, inflated appraisal and fake insurance policies, authorities said.
It also included straw purchasers, they allege, who knowingly lent their identities to be used to purchase properties.
If convicted, Murphy could be sentenced to a maximum 35 years in prison, with five years of supervised release. He could also face a fine of $1,250,000 or twice the value of the property involved in the alleged conspiracy, and a $200 special assessment.

First Stage's ambitious 'Promised Land' is a dream deferred
Ruth, an African-American girl in her early teens, is lost. Her father is long gone. Her overworked mother is rarely around. Her beloved brother is dead. It's 1969, and, while Ruth should be in school, she is watching TV instead.
In "To the Promised Land" - unveiled by First Stage Children's Theater on Friday night - playwright Jonathan Gillard Daly links Ruth's struggles with another coming-of-age story that unfolded in Milwaukee, where a young Golda Meir underwent her own journey of self-discovery.

Eagles' historians will remember that Leadon, an original band member, exited the group in rather definitive fashion way back in 1975 when he poured a bottle of beer over Glenn Frey's head. »Read Full Article(9)

Acta Cryst. (2012). E68, o2659-o2660 [ doi:10.1107/S160053681203440X ]
Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C20H14Cl3NO, consists of two independent molecules. In one molecule, the chlorinated benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 12.00 (9) and 77.04 (9)° with the phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings is 80.37 (10)°. The corresponding dihedral angles for the other molecule are 26.34 (10), 62.98 (10) and 88.47 (11)°, respectively. One of the molecules features an intramolecular C-HO hydrogen bond, which forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N-HO hydrogen bonds into [100] chains. The chains are further linked by C-HO and C-HCl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

MILWAUKIE – In her left hand, she clutched the game ball that will soon be featured in a display case in her home.
With her right hand, she quickly patted her chest, trying to catch her breath from the exhilaration of the game.
Milwaukie senior Alexis Noren scored her 1,000th career point on the final point of the fifth-ranked Mustangs' dramatic 43-40 win over Liberty on Friday in a Northwest Oregon Conference girls basketball showdown at Milwaukie High School.
"Just trying to keep everyone on the edge of their seats," Noren said, smiling.
Needing 13 points to become the first Mustang to reach quadruple digits, Noren appeared well on her way after scoring 10 points in the first half. But her milestone moment didn't arrive until the pressure was on.
With Milwaukie clinging to a 42-40 lead with 16 seconds left, Noren bounced in the front end of a one-and-one to cap a game-ending 7-0 run before missing the second free throw to stay at 1,000 career points.
"I didn't know about that at all when I was shooting," Noren said. "That's something I'm famous for. I really have no idea how much I score until afterwards. I just focus on the game.
"But I'm really honored. It's exciting. It's awesome. I actually don't think I've wrapped my head around it yet."
More than her individual accomplishment, Noren was elated about the victory that paves the way for a repeat NWOC title for the Mustangs (17-2, 10-0). Milwaukie, which beat the Falcons 41-35 on Jan. 18, leads second-place Liberty (10-10, 8-2) by two games with four to play.
"Going into it, we said this was our conference championship," Noren said. "They were a really tough opponent and they definitely earned our respect."
Led by senior Kylie Wruble's game-high 18 points, Liberty of Hillsboro overcame a rowdy Milwaukie crowd and a 10-point Mustangs lead. With Milwaukie ahead 36-28 late in the third quarter, Wruble made one of her four three-pointers to start a 12-0 Liberty run.
The run, fueled by a tenacious full-court press, included the final three from Wruble in the fourth quarter. Freshman Sydney Smalley capped the 12-0 burst with a free throw to give Liberty a 40-36 lead with 1:47 to play.
But Milwaukie answered with two clutch three-pointers in a 10-second span from seniors Lorissa Martine and April Meads to take a 42-40 lead with 1:25 left. That set up Noren's historic free throw, which was followed by a missed Liberty three-point attempt to tie at the buzzer.
"These girls have proven a lot," Falcons coach Melanie Wagoner said. "They never gave up and they battled. This hurts, but we've got to walk away with our heads up. I'm really proud."
-- Jeff Smith, on Twitter

The fifth annual Lakeview 5K to benefit New Jersey Institute for Disabilities will take place on Saturday, June 1 in Roosevelt Park. Participants will enjoy a scenic run or walk through the park on a course that is USATF certified and a sanctioned, 500-point Grand Prix. The event also features a "Stroll and Roll" in which participants can set their own pace and distance around beautiful Roosevelt Lake.
New Jersey Institute for Disabilities (NJID) provides comprehensive services to more than 1,500 infants, children and adults with developmental disabilities, throughout New Jersey. This year, the proceeds of the Lakeview 5K will benefit two essential projects; the Aquatic Center at Lakeview School in Edison, and the installation of natural gas generators in NJID group homes located throughout the state.
The Aquatic Center, adjacent to the Lakeview School, will offer a state-of-the-art therapeutic pool used to enhance current therapy programs. Hydrotherapy is extremely effective in treating a wide range of chronic and acute health conditions and Lakeview School students will greatly benefit from this new service.
Hurricane Sandy had a devastating impact across New Jersey, and the NJID group homes were severely affected by wind and water. The gasoline powered generators which were in place proved to be ineffective and a campaign was launched to purchase and install natural gas generators at NJID group homes.
"The adults and children in Residential Programs often have multiple physical disabilities and medical conditions. This places them at a greater risk for danger when forced to evacuate, or shelter in place without power. The installation of natural gas generators will help prevent a disruption of services in future emergencies," said Robert Ferrara, executive director of NJID.
Participants of the event will receive a commemorative t-shirt (guaranteed with pre-registration) and refreshments, and enjoy entertainment and raffles at the finish line. Certified fitness instructors will lead pre-race warm ups and exercises.
Prizes will be awarded to the top male and top female over all, as well as the top male and female finishers in the following age categories: 12 & Under, 13-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80 and Over.
For more information, visit njid.org. In addition, registration is available online at raceforum.com/lakeview. Call the NJID Special Events Office at 732-549-6187, ext. 539 with any questions.

Mistrial: Deadlocked Jury For John Katehis In George Weber Murder Trial
With a single female juror unable (or unwilling) to rule to convict after three days of deliberations in the murder trial of 18-year-old John Katehis (pictured), who's accused of brutally stabbing to death gay radio man Geroge Weber in New York last year after meeting for sex on Craigslist, the judge declared a mistrial. Katehis, who could be seen dozing off at times during his trial, would have faced 25 years to life. The lone holdout refused to convict because she was not convinced of Katehis' "intent."
there will be a retrial
This is in no way a defense for what happened, but what was a 47 year old man doing with a 16 year old kid?

HTC Hero, Legend, DROID Eris, myTouch 3G and myTouch 4G added to Unlock Bootloader list
Yesterday, HTC's official HTCDev Twitter account revealed that a few new devices had been added to the manufacturer's developer page. For owners of HTC-branded devices who enjoy tinkering with their devices, having an unlocked bootloader is a key step in that process. Last year, HTC confirmed that the HTCDev page would be the go-to location for those who wanted to "officially" unlock their bootloader, as long as the device is officially supported on the page.
Keeping up with their claims, HTC has continued to add devices to the growing list, which includes both smartphones and tablets. Last night, the manufacturer added five new handsets to the list.
The new handsets were unveiled via the company's official Twitter account, which you can find linked below.

Covered Call Writing
To the Editor:
Michael Thomsett's article on covered calls ("The Covered Call: An Income-Generating Options Strategy," August 2010 AAII Journal) clearly explained the process and benefits but I think he minimized the income possibilities by shying away from stocks one wants to retain long term and by not restricting purchases to lower-cost stocks. An option at $0.50 on a $10.00 stock is a 5% return (not including dividends, when applicable). If that can be replicated quarterly, then that is 20% annually. Assuming 50% for taxes, that still nets 10% per year.
Sometimes one sells at a strike price above one's cost, so if the option is exercised one benefits from additional return. If the stock seems to be fundamentally meeting one's criteria, then it can be repurchased again at the new (higher) cost basis and the process repeated.
In fairness, it should be pointed out that the share price can drop so that either the option premium is minimal or one must risk having the stock

Screening on High Yield
Comments Posted Online to "Screening for Stocks With High Relative Dividend Yields" by Charles Rotblut, September 2010 AAII Journal:
Thanks for this article and screening of high relative dividend stocks. I have been thinking about this topic actively for over a year and never quite gained a sense of confidence in choosing a safe stock. My lifetime experience with any high-yielding investment has been: Watch out, it's too good to be true. This approach appears to reduce the risk and narrow the research field.
Edward from Utah
Great article and idea for a stock screen. It is also important to note that the dividend yield you receive is based on the price you paid for the stock. In other words, as stock prices and dividend amounts paid change, your personal dividend yield may no longer match the reported current dividend yield. So trading out of your current dividend-paying stock for another with a higher reported current dividend yield may not be a wise decision.

Commodities Investing
To the Editor:
Just want to mention that the article in the September 2010 AAII Journal by John Stephenson ["Vehicles for Investing: Commodities or Commodity Companies?"] missed an extremely attractive option of commodity investing. As a growing number of investors are learning, silver is a significantly undervalued commodity (also a precious metal) compared to gold. Any investor can participate in silver simply by buying U. S. Silver Eagle coins in any quantity that can be stored securely. It has the obvious advantage of not being a "paper" investment subject to manipulation and an excellent hedge against inflation. Silver is also a growth play due to growing industr

To the editor:
In his letter of 18 December, David Keranen ridicules faith as "believing something is true without sufficient evidence." I would venture to say that nearly 100 percent of what Mr. Keranen thinks he knows is based not on personal experience but on faith. He most likely believes in the existence of countries that he has never visited, planets that he has never seen, and that the earth revolves around the sun. I suppose that he would even go so far as to believe in the Big Bang, primordial goop, and dinosaurs roaming the earth millions of years ago, all because of his faith in the words of men.
Christians reject the words of deceitful men and believe only the written Word of God and in the fulfillment of the Old Testament messianic prophesies. These prophecies could not have been forged by Christians, for they have been copied and preserved in Hebrew and Aramaic by people who reject the New Testament: Jesus was, as prophesied, born of a virgin (Genesis 3:15,20), of the lineage of David (2 Samuel 7:12), in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), died in Jerusalem (Zachariah 12:10), rose from the dead (Psalm 16:10), and established an everlasting kingdom (2 Samuel 7:13).
As for the time of his appearing, it was prophesied that Christ's ministry would begin during the Roman Empire, 69 weeks of years after the commandment is issued to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (compare Daniel 9:25 with Genesis 29:27), which occurred in 458 B.C. (Ezra 7:7-9). He would then be rejected by his people (Isaiah 53:1,2 and 65:11-15) and executed (Daniel 9:26), after which the temple would again be destroyed (Daniel 9:27) and the Roman Empire would dissolve into ten kingdoms (Daniel 2:40-42 and 7:23,24). The fact that Christ's name is eschewed on the very day that his birth is celebrated confirms that he is the promised Messiah, who is despised and rejected of men (Isaiah 53:3). It only remains for him to return to judge the world (Daniel 7:13,14,26). On that dreadful day, when all unbelievers are cast into eternal hellfire, it will be too late to repent (Matthew 25:1-13).

Israel wins wine world cup
By Jennifer Lipman, April 11, 2011
The winemaker was founded in 1983
An Israeli wine-maker has triumphed over 3,720 competitors to take first place in a contest dubbed the "Wine World Cup".
The Golan Heights Winery, which produces bottles under the labels Yarden, Gamla and Golan, became the first Israeli company to win the top spot at Italy's annual international wine trade fair.
The company had won other medals on two previous occasions at the Verona-based Vinitaly event, which ends today.
Founded just 28 years ago in Katzrin, the company beat producers from wine hotspots including France, Chile and Australia.
