The son of former Red Sox player Jerry Remy was charged Friday with the murder of his girlfriend in Waltham, three days after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting her at their home.
The son of former Red Sox player Jerry Remy was charged Friday with the murder of his girlfriend in Waltham, three days after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting her at their home.
Jared Remy, 34, was ordered held without bail in Waltham District Court on Friday, charged with the killing of Jennifer Martel, 27, on Thursday night.
Remy stabbed Martel to death at the Windsor Village apartment complex at 1203 Stearns Hill Road, where they both lived, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said.
Authorities received numerous 911 calls shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday night and found Martel outside the complex, suffering from stab wounds, Ryan said at a short press conference outside the Waltham Police Station on Lexington Street. Remy was arrested at the complex.
Martel and Remy's child, a 4-year-old girl who was in the apartment, was unhurt and is now in the custody of the state Department of Children and Families.
Remy pleaded not guilty in court to charges of murder, assault and battery, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (knife). He is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on Sept. 12.
Assistant District Attorney Lisa McGovern requested Judge Tobin Harvey hold Remy without bail because of the "horrific nature of the brutal killing of Jennifer Martel." Martel suffered multiple stab wounds to the shoulders, arms, neck and head, McGovern said.
Remy, in a blue jumpsuit, mostly stared ahead during his quick arraignment, occasionally looking down and closing his eyes. Remy, represented by defense attorney Peter Bella, appeared to have a big gash on the front left part of his head.
Significant forensic evidence and blood patterns led investigators to believe that the dispute happened in multiple places in the home, McGovern said.
Police responded at about 9 p.m. to 1203 Stearns Hill Road. While they were on their way, they heard there was a man with a knife stabbing a woman in the chest, according to the police report.
When police got there, they saw Remy in the porch area with his hands in the air and covered in blood, the report said. Remy was not wearing a shirt, his socks were soaked with blood, and he had a cut on his head and on his right hand, police said.
Remy was arrested without a struggle.
Police saw Martel on the ground outside, with multiple stab wounds to her left shoulder and neck, and a substantial amount of blood around her, the report said. She was pronounced dead at the scene by Cataldo Ambulance Service.
Authorities found Martel and Remy's daughter in the home, and she was taken to Newton-Wellesley Hospital as a precaution.
Police discovered that Remy had a black sunglasses case that contained a diamond ring, the report said. Authorities had to transport Remy to the station in a police wagon because he was too big for the back of a cruiser, according to the report.
Jerry Remy, who is a Red Sox commentator for NESN, released a statement Saturday.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to Jenn Martel and her family," the statement said. "Words cannot describe my wife's and my grief.
"Son or not, I am at a loss for words articulating my disgust and remorse over this senseless act.
"We are heartbroken."
Neighbor Benjamin Ray told police that he saw Jared Remy attacking Martel outside of their apartment. Ray said Remy was on top of Martel, slashing her, when he attempted to pull Remy off, but was unable to do so, the police report said. Remy turned and tried to stab Ray, who jumped back out of the way, police said.
Martel was a great mother who loved her daughter, Ray said at the apartment complex on Friday. Choking up, Ray said he did all he could to stop the killing.
"It was a rough night for all of us," said Ray, adding that he was not injured.
Remy was arrested at the same address on Tuesday and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He was released without bail on Wednesday.
"The bail recommendation on Wednesday was made based on the totality of the circumstances, the singular count in that case, as well as conversations with investigating officers and Ms. Martel," Ryan said at the press conference.
Police had responded to a reported domestic dispute at 1203 Stearns Hill Road at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
When police arrived, they learned Remy had had an argument with Martel. Remy stated that she was spending too much time at their neighbor's place and he didn't like it, Waltham police said.
Martel stated that they had an argument and she went over to the neighbor's place with their daughter and when she came back, the argument intensified, police said.
In the bathroom, Remy grabbed Martel by the head and neck, and hit her head against the bathroom mirror, according to police. She pushed him away, returned to the neighbor's place and called 911, police said.
Police reported no visible signs of injury.
Remy was released on Wednesday on the condition requested by the Commonwealth that he would refrain from any abuse, McGovern said in court Friday. Martel had taken out an emergency restraining order against Remy on Tuesday night, however she elected not to extend it and did not come to court on Wednesday morning, McGovern said.
Remy's family convinced Martel not to extend the restraining order against Remy, Martel's relatives said Friday.
"That was not done, and it ultimately led to her death," Richard Martel, Jennifer's uncle, said Friday outside his Fall River home. "It's just unbelievable. … I always used to say she was going to end up dead. ... He was always hitting her."
Martel said his niece dated Remy for about five or six years. He described his niece's relationship with Remy as "volatile." He said Remy was "tough" on Jennifer and even insulted her mother. Remy, relatives said, was possessive and violent, and had isolated Jennifer from her family. Richard Martel said he never met Remy.
"She had to deal with his attitude, but she loved him and had a child with him," Richard Martel said. "She was a good mother to her baby. She tried to make it work."
Martel's parents – who were traveling Friday from Virginia – plan to take custody of the child, relatives said.
Relatives remembered Martel as a kind-hearted young woman who was an avid sports fan and loved her family and friends.
"She was kind and outgoing. She didn't have a mean bone in her body. I never saw her being rude to anybody," Richard Martel said.
Jennifer Martel grew up in Dartmouth, Fall River and Taunton, graduating from Taunton High School in 2004. She was one of two children of Brian and Patricia Martel, who live in Franklin, Va. Her brother, Brian Martel Jr., also lives in Virginia with his wife and children.
A memorial fund has been set up for Jennifer Martel for both funeral expenses and to take care of her daughter. Donations can be sent to: Jennifer Martel Memorial Fund, c/o Citizens Bank, 501 Rodman Street, Fall River, MA 02721.
Several neighbors at Martel's apartment complex in Waltham declined to comment Friday.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the little girl and Ms. Martel's family," Waltham Mayor Jeannette McCarthy said. "It's tragic for the family and their baby, especially the baby."
Before Friday, 14 criminal complaints had been filed against Remy in Waltham District Court since 1998. The district includes Waltham, Weston and Watertown.
The complaints include eight charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and three assault and battery charges, according to court documents.
Three restraining orders have been taken out under Remy's name since 2005. He was the defendant in two and the plaintiff in one, court documents said.
Waltham-based REACH Beyond Domestic Violence released a statement Friday and urged anyone who is being abused or knows someone experiencing abuse to call the organization's hotline, 800-899-4000.
"Today we find ourselves part of a Waltham community struggling with many of the same questions we at REACH struggle with every day," the statement said. "What, if anything, could have been done to prevent the tragic death of Jennifer Martel? These are questions that weigh on our hearts as individuals, as service providers, and as a community….
"As we watch stories like this unfold, we may feel hopeless and powerless, but we are neither. While the blame for Jennifer's death lies solely with the person who killed her, domestic violence affects all of us and we all have a role to play in making sure it doesn't happen again. We at REACH are committed to the work of talking about domestic violence, of bringing it out of the shadows, removing the stigma and letting victims know they're not alone.
"As a community we need to make clear to abusers that no matter who you are, where you're from, or what you do for a living, violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in Waltham or anywhere else."
NESN also released a statement Friday.
"This morning, we learned of a terrible tragedy," the statement said. "All of us at NESN and the Red Sox, along with Jerry Remy, are filled with grief for everyone involved, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Jennifer Martel."
Jerry Remy's business partner, John O'Rourke, posted a statement on Jerry Remy's official Twitter account Friday.
"It's John. It's difficult to comment after the news this AM," the tweet said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Martel family."
NESN said Dennis Eckersley will fill in for Jerry Remy on Friday and next week in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Jared Remy was fired from his Fenway Park security job in 2009 after he and another guard were implicated in a steroid use scandal.
In 2005, Remy was arrested and charged with assault and battery after he was accused of beating up his girlfriend at his father's Weston home.

ATHENS, Ga. - The head of Georgia's Environmental Protection Division said Monday that meetings need to resume with South Carolina on ways to protect drinking water in Savannah and Hilton Head Island from saltwater seeping into the groundwater.
Jud Turner made the comment as part of an update to legislators meeting at the University of Georgia for briefings on issues they could confront in the coming session of the General Assembly.
A spreading plume of saltwater has already contaminated wells on Hilton Head, prompting South Carolina officials to call for an immediate halt in roughly 80 percent of Savannah's withdrawals from the Upper Floridan Aquifer that supplies residents and factories in portions of the two states.
"It's probably not to Savannah for another 100 years, but that doesn't mean Georgia is not willing to take some steps now to manage the plume," he said.
The governors of each state appointed a committee to work jointly with its counterparts across the border on a shared solution. Their first agreement was that each would conduct a study. South Carolina tracked the horizontal movement of the plume, and Georgia examined the vertical.
The committees haven't met together in months, but South Carolina officials have relied on their report as the basis for renewed calls for action.
"There's a lot of saber rattling, if you go back six or seven years, about South Carolina suing us," Turner said.
Georgia has legitimate reasons for not immediately restricting withdrawals, according to Turner, including concerns that South Carolina's environmental regulations prevent that state from taking similar action to share the inconvenience of the solution equally.
Another is exploring alternatives - such as syphoning out the saltwater, pumping in freshwater to create a dam-like barrier or other engineering efforts - before committing to the huge expense.
Then there's the question of whether anything would work since Georgia's study found saltwater was coming into the aquifer both vertically and horizontally.
"If you've got a natural, vertical, saltwater-intrusion problem, you want to know that whatever you do to address the problem is going to work," he said. "There's a sense out there that these studies are delays, but they're not."
South Carolina officials have grown more insistent in recent weeks, and Turner acknowledged Monday in reply to a Savannah lawmaker's question that a new round of discussions is due.
"We probably need to set a time to meet and out of that set some time limits," he said.

Sunny 1950s Poppies and Eyelet Dress
Added Jun 24, 2013
Brooklyn, New Yo...
This is a dress that I made for my sister. She is a size 4 on top and an 8 on the bottom so I had to combine my slopers when I made the pattern. I originally made it backless, but she preferred more coverage. Since she lives in Texas and Im in NYC, I couldnt fit her until it was finished. After fitting, I had to adjust the waist size, move the waist up almost 2 inches, take the front neckline in and drop the arm holes!

Wow! I' m definitely going to try making a similar one! :) Looks beautiful. Which pattern did you use?

Hi, I drafted my own pattern. If you can find a basic bodice pattern, just take the back piece and cut it where you want the lace to start. For the Skirt part, just use a circle skirt pattern and make sure the total bottom length of the bodice matches the total top length of the skirt. (the waist total measurements for top and bottom need to match, make any adjustments on the circle skirt pattern.) Ill see if I can add some pictures this week.

Average client rating (based on 185 attendee reviews)
When oil consists of two or more hydrocarbons and those hydrocarbons exhibit distinctly different phase and composition changes relative to temperature and pressure, more complex definitions of fluid behavior are required for reservoir simulation and predictions of recovery. Compositional simulation is useful when an equation of state is required to describe reservoir fluid phase behavior or the compositional changes associated with depth. A compositional model is the right choice for studying condensates or volatile crude oils, gas injection programs, and secondary recovery studies. Knowledge of compositional behavior is also required for accurate planning and design of surface production facilities.

A fielder's choice by sophomore Casey Turgeon (Palm Harbor, Fla.) brought home freshman Harrison Bader(Bronxville, N.Y.) with the eventual decisive run in the 15th inning as Florida (22-18/10-7 SEC) extended its winning streak to eight games and clinched its weekend series over Missouri (12-22/4-13 SEC) with a 4-3 triumph on Saturday afternoon at Taylor Stadium.
UF's bullpen tossed 12.2 scoreless innings, with sophomore Bobby Poyner (Wellington, Fla.) (2-0) earning the decision. Sophomore Johnny Magliozzi (East Milton, Mass.) induced a game-ending groundout with Tiger runners on second and third base to end the game and nail down his 11th save, two shy of the school's single-season mark shared by Danny Wheeler (1994) and Josh Fogg (1998).
With the game deadlocked at 3-3 in the 15th, Bader reached on a one-out fielding error by Missouri junior third baseman Shane Segovia. Senior Cody Dent (Boynton Beach, Fla.) followed with a base-hit into center field and freshman Richie Martin (Brandon, Fla.) drew a walk to load the bases with one down. Turgeon's grounder to second base drove in Bader with the go-ahead run, completing a comeback from a 3-0 deficit for the Gators.
Magliozzi replaced Poyner (0.1 IP) to begin the bottom of the stanza and issued a one-out walk to junior Dylan Kelly, who was replaced by sophomore pinch runner Nick Moore. After junior Kendall Keeton flew out to center field for the second out, senior Scott Sommerfeld ripped a pinch-hit single into center field to keep the Tigers alive. Although a wild pitch by Magliozzi pushed Moore and Sommerfeld over, the righty had Segovia ground out to secure the club's sixth-straight league win.
Junior Keaton Steele (2-for-6) had provided the Tigers with a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a two-run homer to left field off of freshman Danny Young (Boca Raton, Fla.). Young had retired the first two batters before yielding a bloop single into center field by senior Dane Opel (2-for-7). Steele then opened the scoring with his second round-tripper of the campaign.
Florida threatened against sophomore Brett Graves in the second inning, putting two runners aboard with one down, as redshirt sophomore Zack Powers (Seffner, Fla.) reached on a fielding error and senior Vickash Ramjit (Miami, Fla.) (2-for-7) singled through the left side of the infield. However, Graves induced an inning-ending 1-6-3 double play from sophomore Josh Tobias (Greensboro, N.C.).
Missouri used three-straight two-out singles to build a 3-0 advantage in the home part of the stanza. Young recorded the first two outs before Segovia extended the inning with a single through the right side. Junior Dillon Everett (2-for-6) advanced his teammate to third base with a base-hit into right center and sophomore Logan Pearson punched an RBI single into right field to score Segovia. An intentional walk to sophomore Case Munson loaded the bags and the move paid off when Young had Opel ground out to strand the trio of runners.
The Gators got on the board in the third on a two-out RBI single by Turgeon (3-for-8, 3 RBI) for a 3-1 deficit. Martin had his third double of the season into the left-field corner with two down and Turgeon drove him in with a single into right field and went to second on the relay throw to the plate. After a walk to sophomore Taylor Gushue (Boca Raton, Fla.), sophomore Justin Shafer (Lake Wales, Fla.) (2-for-6) popped out in foul territory to end the frame.
A one-out double by Kelly in the bottom of the inning ended the afternoon for Young (2.1 IP, 6 H, 3 R). A wild pitch by redshirt freshman Aaron Rhodes (Venice, Fla.) moved Kelly to third base but the right-hander struck out junior Kendall Keeton and had sophomore Jake Ivory ground out to keep the Gators down by two runs.
Bader raised his hitting streak to eight games, matching his career high, to open the fifth. Graves had Dent fly out to center field and struck out Martin before Bader swiped second base for his team-leading ninth theft. Graves jammed Turgeon on an infield fly to complete the inning.
A leadoff walk to Munson brought freshman Parker Danciu (Delray Beach, Fla.) in for Rhodes (1.2 IP). Danciu had Opel fly out to left field and then plunked Steele. A grounder by Kelly advanced the runners into scoring position with two down and freshman Eric Hanhold (Palm Harbor, Fla.) was summoned from the bullpen for Danciu (0.2 IP). The righty had Keeton ground out to Dent to hold the count at 3-1.
Gushue began the sixth with a single into right field and Graves (5.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R) retired Shafer on a foul pop-up before being replaced by redshirt junior Jake Walsh. The southpaw had Powers and Ramjit each ground out to retire the side.
After Hanhold pitched a clean sixth, Tobias drew a leadoff walk in the seventh from Steele, who had replaced Walsh (0.2 IP). Bader followed with a single into right field and Dent laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance both of his teammates into scoring position. Martin brought the Gators within 3-2 with an RBI grounder and Turgeon tied the game with a two-out single up the middle that plated Bader.
Shafer and Powers drew back-to-back walks to start the eighth for Florida and Ramjit's sacrifice attempt forced Shafer at third base. A fielder's choice by Tobias erased Ramjit at second base and Powers was gunned down at the plate on a relay from freshman first baseman Josh Lester to Kelly to preserve the stalemate.
After Hanhold retired all 10 Tiger hitters he faced over 3.1 innings, junior Daniel Gibson (Lutz, Fla.) took the mound for the Gators. The lefty registered the first two outs of the ninth before yielding a single into right field by Everett. Following a walk to Pearson, Gibson had Munson fly out to left field to provide the fans with free baseball.
Gibson notched the first two outs of the 11th before Everett reached on a fielding error by Turgeon. Martin made a nice running grab at the center-field wall on a ball hit by Pearson to send the contest into the 12th inning.
Powers began the 13th with a base-hit through the right side of the infield and was replaced by redshirt freshman pinch runner Cory Reid (Port St. Lucie, Fla.). After a single by Ramjit gave the Gators two runners aboard, Tobias laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners into scoring position. Steele fanned Bader for the second out and then issued a walk to Dent that loaded the bases. The reliever rebounded with a strikeout of Martin to end the inning.
Gibson collected the first two outs of Missouri's 13th and Lester legged out an infield single to extend the frame. Senior Brannon Champagne was inserted as a pinch runner and stole second base before sophomore Ryan Harris (Jupiter, Fla.) replaced Gibson (career-high 4.2 IP, 4 H, 3 K). The righty caught Segovia looking on strikes to complete the inning.
Harris set down the first two batters of the 14th and Munson singled into left field to bring Poyner into the contest. The lefty had Opel pop up to Dent.
The Gators and Tigers will complete the weekend series tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET.

Palm on Friday warned investors that development delays by PalmSource on Palm's next operating system have hurt the hardware maker's ability to compete in the smartphone and PDA markets. PalmSource, Palm's spun-off software division, has also violated a royalties contract, Palm said in its annual report. Despite those potential hurdles, Palm says it is continuing to work with PalmSource to develop a new operating system featuring a Linux kernel, though no timetable has been set.

Over in Long Beach the police decided to crack down on a critical mass ride within minutes of it starting last week. As we saw in Santa Monica police crack-downs on critical mass in the past, back when it attracted much bigger turnout, tickets were written in mass, some for legitimate violations, others less clear, and some down right nit picky. The really overreaching and draconian part of this fiasco though, was the LBPD seized peoples bikes, which for some riders was their only or primary means of transportation.
This mass seizure of bikes was done under the guise of the bikes not being registered under the local bicycle registration ordinance and in some cases a lack of brakes. Last time I checked when drivers fail to update their vehicle registration sticker it's a ticket, they don't impound the car. Also driving with dealer plates instead of valid license plates is so common it would be laughable if it were not such a serious issue of accountability with our abysmally high rate of hit and run crashes.
It should be noted concerning the bikes taken for lack of external brakes, that fixed gear bikes can be stopped under the definition of stopping in the CA bicycle equipment requirements when you lock your legs, and there is no clarification in the vehicle code of the definition of what a brake is. Though I think caliper brakes are a good idea for additional safety, if cities want to do away with fixed gear bikes not equipped with external braking power, there must be further clarification of what brakes are in the vehicle code. Cruiser bikes with internal coaster brake hubs are very common, especially in Southern California, and stop in a manner not all that dissimilar to a fixed gear bike. A judge in Oregon ruled that a fixed gear bike does not constitute having a brake, but it's hardly a matter that is settled, and there is still ambiguity in the law and it's interpretation. As Ted Rogers pointed out in comments, Long Beach judges have tossed out tickets given to fixed gear riders in the past concerning braking requirements.
As has been demonstrated several times now, bicycle registration as it exists, where it exists is so poorly implemented that most citizens have never heard of such requirements. Sometimes even cyclists trying to comply have a lot of trouble getting a sticker because the agencies in charge of distributing them are often unprepared to actually implement the registration. While bicycle theft recovery is the commonly stated purpose of such laws, in practice they can used to harass cyclists or add punitive punishments when police are reaching for extra penalties to stack when no other valid traffic violations can be found.
For more background on the critical mass situation in Long Beach, check out the stories on the Long Beach Press-Telegram, the LA Times, and Ted Rogers of BikingInLA has a good round up of the points with links to pertinent ordinances, statements etc.
The seizure of the bikes for something as petty as lack of a registration requirement that is so poorly implemented, is incredibly and excessively overreaching. I really hope the cyclists in Long Beach organize and sue the city. I think as a group cyclists need to start drawing lines in the sand and explore options for law suits against governments which fail to provide for our safety through infrastructure, fail to educate the public on the rights and responsibility of all road users, abuse their police powers, and or them selves fail to comply with the law.
As many readers of mine are aware, I think that bicycle registration as implemented in Santa Monica is both sloppy and also unlawful according to the California Vehicle Code. I had tried to call attention to the issue a few times in the past, through e-mails and round-table discussion with city staff, after it was discovered the L.A. version of the law was being used to ticket cyclists who had violated no other traffic law, and widespread ignorance that the law even existed, both among citizens and public officials. The L.A. law was eventually put to rest after a period of back and forth on the issue while cyclists given tickets were in limbo.
In Santa Monica the law still stands however, but as written is still absurdly punitive and does not comply with state law. It fails to comply on two accounts, it can only be required of or enforced on residents, which the Santa Monica ordinance does not indicate, and it is currently a misdemeanor with maximum penalty of $1,000 with the possibility of jail time. However the C.A. C.V.C. specifies the penalties for such requirements is not to exceed $10. The Santa Monica law was also recently featured in a post by livable streets activist and L.A. city council candidate Stephen Box, on the topic of local governments, and government agencies, which have or have had laws or policies concerning bicycling, which are in fact in violation of state laws.
Previously had no luck finding anyone actually being cited for the violation in Santa Monica. That has changed. In the past week I've been exchanging messages with a cyclist that found me through a friend of his being a reader of my blog. He was cited for sidewalk riding, which he did not know was also an offense, and when he expressed that he had seen other cyclists use the sidewalk, something common in Santa Monica despite being prohibited, he was given a second violation, for failure to display a bicycle license, another ordinance the cyclist had no idea existed. Both cited offenses were listed as misdemeanors, more serious than most traffic violations, which are treated as infractions, and these citations have mandatory court dates, at the LAX court house.
While sidewalk riding is clearly not allowed in the Santa Monica municipal code, the city also does a pretty terrible job informing the public of that requirement as well. Should the penalty for this also be so serious as to require a mandatory court date? This seems particularly ridiculous given that Santa Monica shares sidewalk connections with the City of Los Angeles, which does not prohibit sidewalk riding. There are no signs indicating anywhere that sidewalk cycling is prohibited on city streets in Santa Monica. As I've said many times before, I am certainly no advocate for sidewalk riding, I am a vehicular cyclist all the way. However if Santa Monica is going to prohibit the practice of rolling on the sidewalk, it needs to do a better job educating the public that sidewalk riding is not allowed, and defending cyclist's right to use the roadway.
Seeing the disaster of police abuse in Long Beach, and finding a cyclist cited for lack of registration at home, has renewed my interest in having the law killed or reformed, as it is clearly apparent as written invites abuse of police power in addition to being unlawful. If it comes down to it, I may start consulting with a lawyer to make Santa Monica city comply with state laws whether it wants to be bothered with this issue or not. Hopefully this incident has motivated Long Beach cyclists to fight the law there as well.

Striped Wallpaper: Ideas & Inspiration
There's no denying the energy a few well-placed stripes bring to a room. Whether vertical or horizontal, subtle or bold, real or implied, linear pattern can add get-up-and-go to any space.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when using stripes-
- Used on their own, subtle stripes act like textured paint and are perfect for large walls in living rooms, dining room and bedrooms. Bold stripes, add serious drama and work well in smaller spaces like entryways, powder rooms, hallways and office nooks.
- Mixing stripes can up the 'wow' factor in a space considerably. The trick is to visually separate the patterns from each other, either with molding or by using them on separate walls (i.e. a foreground wall and a background wall). Try applying the same stripe pattern horizontally and vertically or two stripes from the same color palette in different scales.
- Think unconventionally. Striped wallpaper on the ceiling is delightfully unexpected. Like many other wall paper patterns, stripes can add a bit of stylish surprise when used to line dresser drawers and cabinet doors.

Peter, Paul and Mary: Carry It On: A Musical Legacy
|Episode Description
|Saturday, Mar 15, 2014 - 3:30 PM
There once was a time, some years before the ascendance of rock and roll on Top 40 radio, when popular music veered sharply from the mainstream to sample American roots-music traditions. Inspired by the songs of Pete Seeger and The Weavers, this "folk" music, found its greatest expression during the early 1960's in the songs of an emerging Greenwich Village group known as Peter, Paul and Mary. In the Trio's new PBS show "Carry It On: A Musical Legacy" we share in the four decade long career of Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. D

The Winter Haven Optimist Club hosted its 26th annual Student Appreciation Day last month at the Chain of Lakes Gymnasium in Winter Haven. Two students from 72 Polk County Elementary Schools were invited to be recognized by the Optimist Club for being good students and excellent role models.
During the past 26 years, the Optimists have honored more than 4,200 students from throughout Polk County at this event. This year's guest speakers were Seretha Tinsley, CFO of Tinsley Family Concessions Inc., and Ernest Joe, senior director of Diversity Management for Polk County Schools.
Lunch of pizza, apples, cookies, and drinks were provided by the Optimists.
Each student also received a goodie bag of items donated by the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Auto Dynamics, and the Winter Haven Optimist Club.
Five teachers were recognized by the Optimists as "Unsung Heroes" and presented a special plaque for their outstanding dedication and service to the youth of Polk County. Those recipients were Joann Lachance, Brigham Academy; Karen Smoak, Boswell Elementary; Rachelle Moser, Dixieland Elementary; Karie Insua, Lake Alfred Elementary; and Davina Burdick, Padgett Elementary.
A round of applause for these good role models!
The Community Give Back Program was hosted by Ruby Tuesdays earlier this month. The restaurant contributed 20 percent of its Dec. 2-4 sales from the Winter Haven, Bartow and Lakeland stores to the Eloise Care Center.
Hats off to this organization for caring for the community.
Bright Smiles of Winter Haven held its second Candy Buy Back For The Troops event last month. The event was held at the dental office of Dr. Kenneth B. Rogers and Dr. Tiffany Y. Chen, at 1550 First St. S., Winter Haven. The event's catch phrase was "We will buy back your treats to send our soldiers something sweet!"
The event provided an excellent way for local children to pass along some of their Halloween candy for two great reasons. Business manager Jill Rogers said one reason, near and dear to a dentist's heart, is to teach children that eating a healthy diet low in concentrated sweets can lead to better dental health. The second reason for the event was to show their appreciation to our soldiers by sending them a little something sweet to enjoy.
In addition, the children were given an opportunity to send along a hand-written thank you note to the troops. Rogers said even the littlest American can show their patriotism though this kind sharing of their well-earned goodies from their trick or treating efforts.
The children brought their candy to be weighed. In exchange for their candy, they received $1 per pound, up to five pounds. The event attracted many children, with a total of 130 pounds of Halloween goodies gathered to be sent to our soldiers abroad. As an added measure of generosity, some of the children even donated their newly acquired money. Rogers said some children contributed their dollars without being prompted by their parents; something Rogers said was impressive.
Office team members Krystal Robinson, Christy Preo, Allison Stringer, Amber Stewart, Sharon Cerullo, Gloria Deorta, Chris Pattillo, Paula Schmalfeldt, Kayla Crum, Chelsea Manassa and Leah McDowell along with a few high school volunteers, provided a wonderful, fun atmosphere.
Children enjoyed kid-friendly activities such as face printing by Orlando Diaz, duck pond and corn hole toss games, prizes, popcorn, picture time with Marine and Coast Guard personnel, and a bounce house.
The Winter Haven Area LaSertoma Club held its December meeting at St. John's Methodist Church, where president Billy Sue Bourland welcomed 26 members and three guests.The sergeant at arms, Gail Knippenberg, led with the Pledge of Allegiance and the LaSertoma Prayer. Guests for the evening were Victoria Nettles, Tyronda Ford and Sequoia Robinson, guests of J.T. Perkins.
A silent auction was chaired by Donna McDonald, who explained the auction and the bidding. Members made bids after looking over the items and at the conclusion, McDonald announced the winning bidders. They report the auction turned out to be a good fundraiser.
The program for Thursday will be the white elephant sale, where members are to bring one wrapped gift, which will go to the highest bidder. They report this is always a fun time for all because who knows what will be in those packages?
Katie Bicker recognized December birthday celebrants: Bourland, Lorna Yongue and Cathy Bowen.
The famous LaSertoma Tasters Tea will take place Feb. 7, and will be held at the Lake Bess Club House. The club will also have a rummage sale on March 2, where proceeds will go to fund community programs.
The poinsettia plant sale project was chaired by Sandy Weis. Marcia Sackett chaired the pecan sale. Both fundraisers were deemed to be successful. The club also contributed to Family Emergency Services this year. Members of LaSertoma collected 1,287 items year-to-date for them.
LaSertoma received thanks from the Salvation Army for all the Christmas stockings and Angel Tree donations they donated to them for the needy in the community for Christmas.
Hostesses for the Thursday meeting will be Rosemary Staskus and Weis.
Keep up the great work, ladies!
Happy birthday to Dianne Hall (65), Saturday; Mary Sander (61), Sunday.

With a shutdown barely averted and another crisis looming on extending the nation's debt ceiling, the federal deficit and national debt have more than doubled as a concern for movers and shakers in Washington, according to a new survey by Public Agenda. But even within the Beltway elite, there are major differences in perceptions on the chances for solving the problem.
While the economy and jobs remain the most important concerns for Beltway influencers, as they are for the rest of America, their specific concerns about the deficit and national debt have increased. The percentage who say the deficit and debt are the most important problems have increased to 25 percent, on a par with the economy.
This is the third round of "The Buck Stops Where? What D.C. Influencers Say About the National Debt," a series of surveys conducted by Public Agenda and supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which is committed to informing the American public and policymakers of the fiscal realities facing the country. The research has been conducted at six-month intervals to track how "movers and shakers" in Washington view this vital issue.
The survey was in the field as a new Congress took office, and during the run-up to the debate over a possible government shutdown and raising the nation's debt ceiling. The goal is to provide a running assessment of how those who set the debate and make the decisions in Washington view this problem.
The more than 300 influencers surveyed by Public Agenda using Harris Interactive's regular Beltway influencer survey break down into two groups:
The level of concern among both leaders and elites specifically about the national debt has increased significantly over the year we've been conducting this survey. Taken as a group, the percentage who said the federal deficit and national debt were the most important problem rose 14 points, from 11 percent to 25 percent, while concern about the economy has fallen from 36 percent to 23 percent.
The two groups do show differences. In March 2010, while 35 percent of leaders and 37 percent of elites cited the economy generally as the most important problem facing the country, this number stayed at the same level for leaders but jumped to 43 percent for elites in October. By this April, however, the percentage fell 12 points for leaders to 26 percent and 22 points for elites to 21 percent.
By contrast, the percentage who said the federal deficit and national debt were the most important problem rose 15 points for leaders, from 13 percent to 28 percent, and 12 points for elites, from 9 percent to 21 percent.
Other surveys show concern about the budget rising among the general public, although the economy remains the public's primary worry. A Gallup poll in April showed 17 percent citing the budget as the most important problem facing the nation, the highest level since 1996. But that is still behind the economy overall (26 percent) and unemployment (19 percent).
The other major trend is that leaders, the actual decision-makers in the nation's capital, have grown more optimistic about the chances for solving the problem – but the opinion elites are as skeptical as they ever were.
For example, leaders are notably more likely to report that "elected officials are often factoring in the national debt in their decisions": 41 percent say this, a 19-point increase from a year ago. Also, while a majority of leaders still believe that "pragmatic solutions to the national debt will be impossible to achieve due to partisan politics," that number has fallen from 75 percent a year ago to 66 percent now. For elites, the number hasn't changed at all (83 percent). Yet both groups do believe solutions exist. Over the course of the survey, the number of both leaders and elites who way there are "at least several practical approaches" to solving the nation's fiscal problems has held fairly stable, at about 8 in 10.
Then again, leaders are more optimistic overall than elites – and, for that matter, the general public. Nearly half of leaders, 48 percent, say the country is going in the right direction, while 44 percent say its "off on the wrong track." Among Washington elites, 62 percent say the country's on the wrong track, which is much closer to the general public (70 percent in the April New York Times/CBS News poll.)
Finally, the partisan divide between Republicans and Democrats on this issue can be enormous, both in terms of perception and intensity of feeling. For example:
However, strong majorities of both Democrats (90 percent) and Republicans (76 percent) say there are practical approaches available."The actual decision-makers in Washington, both in and out of government, seem to be growing a little more optimistic that they can solve our fiscal problems," said Scott Bittle, executive vice president and director of public issue analysis at Public Agenda. "But they're not communicating that optimism to the chorus of Washington onlookers. Making the positive side of the debate clearer might help build an environment where solutions can be found."
This Beltway Influencer survey was conducted by Harris Interactive® between February 28 and March 28 among a total of 305 Beltway Influencers comprised of 150 DC Opinion Elite, and 155 "Leaders," which consist of 50 Government (Congressional Staffers and Executive Branch), 45 Media, and 60 Thought Leaders from NGOs, Interest Groups, Foundations and Associations. Elite surveys were conducted online and figures were weighted on age, sex, education, race, household income and education where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the DC Opinion Elite population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for the D.C. Opinion Elite respondents' propensity to be online. The leader group survey was conducted via telephone and was not weighted.

Canadian Schools Ban WiFi Based On Bad Science
from the and-what-are-they-teaching-our-kids dept
Amazingly, they've succeeded in some places, including 12 elementary and middle schools up in Canada, which are now being called out by a group called "Bad Science Watch" for making decisions based on absolutely and totally bogus science. You can read the full report here, in which they call out "anti-WiFi activists" who are "spreading misinformation." It seems they ought to call out schools as well. You would think that places of learning would investigate the actual science.
These claims are not substantiated by the scientific literature and have little acceptance from medical professionals and the scientific community. This activism therefore amounts to nothing more than fear-mongering by misguided special interest groups who are attempting to have these networks removed.
Nevertheless, the media has been all too willing to fan the flames of controversy and has contributed to a growing false uncertainty over the safety of WiFi. As a result many school boards, libraries, and town councils across Canada have been called on by concerned citizens to limit or remove WiFi networks.

Our first tournament of the 2012 season was the Mardi Gras tournament in Mobile, Ala. All the teams there were NCAA Regional-caliber teams so we were all very excited. The weekend didn't end up as we had planned but we know there is plenty of time to find what works for us in order to compete in every game.
We left Nashville around 10:30 a.m. Thursday. The drive to Mobile was about 7 hours, on the ride down there Burlesque was on and a lot of the girls stayed awake to watch that. We arrived in Mobile around 5:30 p.m., got our room assignments and then headed for dinner at McAlister's Deli. I, of course, had some of the best roomies, Kristen (Bieber) Sturdivant and Katniss Everdeen a.k.a. Bridgette Begle. With those two you know it's always going to be a good time. After dinner we had a little King Cake in honor of Mardi Gras and had a team meeting to get pumped up for our first game.
Friday we woke up early and went to breakfast at 7:30. We were all ready to play Jacksonville State. We started off our season with our first win! Right after that game we had to get ready to play Mississippi State. Unfortunately, we lost that game but there was no time to dwell on it because we had to get our minds right to play Alabama on Saturday. We went back to the hotel to change and then we were on our way to Olive Garden.
There was a little wait at Olive Garden (when is there ever not?) so the team played the game Mafia on the bus. It's fun to play but I personally have more fun watching it, I feel like I have to know who everyone is when we play. In that game there are three Mafia members, one doctor, one sheriff, and the rest are townspeople. Everybody closes their eyes and the Mafia decides who to kill, then they close their eyes and the doctor can save one person. Then the doctor closes her eyes and has one guess of who's in the Mafia. After that everybody opens their eyes to find out who was killed and who killed them. You really see some good poker faces and learn which one of your teammates can lie and who can't. After dinner we went back to the hotel to get a good night's rest.
Saturday we woke up and had breakfast at 9:30 and left the hotel at noon for lunch. Bridge was with her parents so Kristen and I were going to watch a little TV before getting ready. Luckily there was a show on that showed the beautiful men of the CW. We're huge Vampire Diaries fans! Then we got ready and went to lunch at Camille's Sidewalk Café. After lunch it was finally time to head to the field and get a rematch with Alabama from a couple years ago. We competed with them for most of the game but it just seemed like every time we would get something going they would come up with a big hit or some other kind of momentum change. We held our own for a while though and that's more than the other teams who played Alabama this weekend can say.
After that freezing cold game with a brutal breeze blowing the whole time we went back to the hotel to change out of our uniforms and went to dinner at Dreamland BBQ. I think the best part about that was the banana pudding, oh and the free gumballs.
Sunday morning we headed to the field to play our last game of the weekend. Our energy wasn't where it needed to be and we just didn't show up, so sadly we left the tournament 1-3 with a final loss to South Alabama. We got on the bus ready to head back to Nashville and get to work this week and just tune up what we need to work on in order to sweep this weekend.
Saturday is our home opener. We will play four games this weekend and I know we're all expecting to walk away with four wins. The other teams aren't going to just give them to us but this week we're going to come back and really work hard. Like we learned this fall 'So what, next pitch.'

Yes, apparently the EFL are going to be used. Some video demos (ex kinetic scrolling) are around and seem to be made using EFL's, but nothing official.

Published December 10, 2016
Could this be the answer to solving traffic woes in U.S. cities like Los Angeles?
A part of Venezuela's capital is using the services of about 120 mimes who are giving bad drivers the silent treatment in an effort to combat traffic woes. Think human traffic signals that have the ability to scorn drivers who dare to break the rules.
The mimes have been sent into the streets to do what police alone have not: tame the lawless traffic.
Dressed in clown-like outfits and white gloves took to the streets of the Sucre district this past week, the mimes wag their fingers at traffic violators and at pedestrians who streaked across busy avenues rather than waiting at crosswalks.
They found plenty to keep them busy in a city where motorcycle riders roar down sidewalks, buses drop passengers in the middle of busy streets and drivers treat red lights and speed limits as suggestions rather than orders.
"Most people are collaborating, but bad habits are usually hard to break and some drivers just don't change their ways," said Neidy Suarez, an 18-year-old mime wearing fluorescent yellow overalls and a bright red ribbon wrapped around her pigtails.
Suarez frowned, thrust her hands forward in a "stop" motion and then pointed to a red light as a motorcyclist raced toward a crosswalk filled with pedestrians.
"Some people get angry when we reprimand them," Suarez said. Some drivers have shouted insults after a silent rebuke.
"But most people react agreeably and some have offered compliments," Suarez said, raising her voice from time to time so she would be heard amid the honking horns, ambulance sirens, rumbling bus engines and music throbbing from car stereos.
Mayor Carlos Ocariz of Sucre, in the eastern part of Caracas, turned to the mimes to encourage civility among reckless drivers and careless pedestrians. He is following the example of Antanas Mockus, a former mayor of Bogota, Colombia, who combined mimes and stricter police enforcement in a program that was widely seen as a success.
Caracas' streets, though, may be even more chaotic than those of Colombia's capital.
Drivers who miss a highway exit often simply put their cars in reverse and return through oncoming traffic.
Motorbike riders charge the wrong way up one-way streets and honk pedestrians aside as they roar onto sidewalks, sometimes with small children tucked precariously between an adult passenger and driver.
Alex Ojeda, president of the Jose Angel Lamas Foundation, a cultural organization that employed professional actors to train the mimes, said he is confident the mimes will help, although he conceded that changing the behavior of motorists will be a long-term task. Generations of attempts to enforce traffic laws have largely failed.
"Many times, the mimes can achieve what traffic police cannot achieve using warning and sanctions in their efforts to maintain control," he said. "Mimes, on the contrary, often achieve the same objective by employing artistic and peaceful actions."
At a ceremony for newly trained mimes, Ocariz vowed to keep up the effort "until the streets of Sucre are full of creativity and education."

2013 Hopeman Memorial Carillon Recital Series
The Hopeman Memorial Carillon Recital Series at the University of Rochester, a summer celebration of an iconic landmark's 40th anniversary on the River Campus, will begin on Monday, July 8.
The free outdoor concerts on the Eastman Quadrangle are open the public and will take place Mondays in July. Each program will begin at 7 p.m., rain or shine, and last about an hour. Concert-goers are encouraged to bring folding chairs, blankets, and picnics, and settle on the lawn on the west side of Rush Rhees Library.
Visiting performers will play programs that include selections of American classics and lullabies, songs from Broadway musicals, as well as compositions written specifically for the carillon. Following the concerts, attendees are invited to meet each performer on the library steps. "The setting is beautiful and serene so the audience can enjoy the concert without a lot of distractions," said Tim Sleep, teacher at the Millenium Carillon in Naperville, Ill. Sleep, who has performed on the University's Hopeman Memorial Carillon before, will travel this summer to several cities, including Rochester. "Each carillon is unique and I really enjoy getting to know the instrument and putting it through its paces."
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the installation of the Hopeman Memorial Carillon. The majestic instrument is housed in the upper-most chamber at the top of Rush Rhees tower, and consists of 50 bells that were cast in bronze by Royal Eijsbouts Bellfoundry of Asten in the Netherlands. Throughout the year, the sounds of the carillon can be heard on campus as the traditional melody known as "Westminster Quarters" marks every quarter hour. One of only seven carillons in New York, the almost seven-ton instrument is regularly played by students of the University's Carillon Society, who perform classic and modern musical compositions for campus events, holidays, and special impromptu concerts. The ringing of the carillon bells also marks special community, state, and national events.
Performer schedule:
- Monday, July 8
Carol Jickling Lens, instructor at the North American Carillon School and chair of the Nomination Committee of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America.
- Monday, July 15
Sally Harwood, assistant carillonneur at Beaumont Tower at Michigan State University.
- Monday, July 22
Tim Sleep, teacher and performer on the Millennium Carillon in Naperville, Ill., and vice president of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America.
- Monday, July 29
Philippe Beullens, associate city carillonneur in Mechelen and Leuven and instructor at St. Martin's College in Overijse, Belgium.

We all have busy lives. It is easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day chores and routine. Then we all complain when we talk to our Parents, Kids and friends: "We never get to see you!"
The reality of life is that quality time is not something that comes automatically. Not that is complicated or difficult. One does however need to take the 5 minutes out of a busy week to actually pick up the phone and call.

Correction: People-Patrick Stewart story
LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a story Sept. 9 about Patrick Stewart's recent marriage, The Associated Press erroneously reported the actor's age as 72. He is 73.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Patrick Stewart tweets news of nuptials
Patrick Stewart tweets news of nuptials to Sunny Ozell; Ian McKellen officiated ceremony
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patrick Stewart is sharing the news of his nuptials on Twitter.
The 73-year-old actor posted a photo on the site Sunday of himself and his bride buried to their necks in multicolored plastic balls with the simple caption, "Yes, married."
A Stewart spokesman confirmed that the actor married Sunny Ozell Saturday in a ceremony in Lake Tahoe officiated by Ian McKellen.
McKellen and Stewart will share the screen again in next year's "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

"Interstellar Exploration Background" is an experimental soundscape made using swirling white noise samples, futuristic radio communication sounds, crushed computer-like calculation sounds, an airy bright synth pad, delay-filtered bright synth bells and several other ambient synth noises and stabs. The sample maintains a consistent, pulsing rhythm and is given a heavy dose of reverb to provide a cold darkness to the overall tone.
This soundscape may conjure up images of scenarios involving space travel, futuristic dream sequences and other science-fiction or fantasy themes. It's made more versatile with its ability to be looped and would be ideal for any game, cartoon, animation or film project requiring abstract sound beds.
Thanks for listening.

An Irish-Canadian man has posted a YouTube video in hopes of repairing his reputation after his estranged wife attempted to hire a hitman to kill him, but has since been released with no charges.
The Daily Mail reports that Michael Ryan, a native of Nova Scotia in Canada, posted a video to YouTube defending himself after his ex-wife Nicole Ryan accused him of abuse and allegedly hired an undercover cop for $25,000 to kill Michael.
Nicole Ryan was acquitted of conspiracy charges against her former husband, with the court believing she was 'under duress' when she plotted to kill Michael. On Sunday, the Supreme Court of Canada halted the legal proceedings surrounding the case, and Nicole Ryan was free to go without charges.
In his YouTube video, Michael Ryan speaks about how he was never called to testify in the case where he was accused of being abusive toward Nicole.
"The public is still deceived by Nicole Ryan's false allegations that I was an abusive husband and my side of the story has still not been heard," he said in the YouTube video.
"I strongly believe the Supreme Court of Canada has denied the truth to the Canadian public in what is seemingly all one big cover-up."
"The courts have not properly taken the time to review the evidence before them. They have tarnished the reputation of not only myself but the RCMP as well," he added.
Michael Ryan went on to say that Nicole left "a dark cloud over me and my family. She has painted me out to be a monster." Michael and Nicole have a daughter together who is now in Michael's custody.
"I am taking this opportunity to state...for the record that I have never abused Nicole or our daughter in any shape or form."
"I have done nothing to Nicole to deserve this defamation. I have always done my very best to best supportive of Nicole and our family."
