RACINE, Wis. — Sheriff's deputies say a toddler who was found wandering alone outside in Racine has been taken to a hospital as a precaution.
A WISN-TV report said deputies received a call early Monday, Jan. 28 from someone who found the boy about 4 a.m. They say the boy was wearing long-sleeved clothes and pants but there was no adult around.
The boy is believed to be 2 to 3 years old. Medics took him to a hospital to make sure he was OK.
Deputies found the boy's mother about 4:45 a.m. and brought her to the hospital. Investigators say the incident appears to be an accident. There was no immediate indication that they would seek criminal charges.

A while back, I highlighted an advertisement by Johnnie Walker, in which the striding man attended the gala coronation of Britain's George VI. I made a note of the fact that I had scoured Google Books to see whether JW had run similar ads afterward, and couldn't find any. Well, look here:
This ad, from New York magazine's issue of January 10, 1977, says, "In America, anyone can grow up to deserve Johnnie Walker Black Label." The timing? The January 20, 1977, inauguration of Jimmy Carter as the 39th president of the United States. Now to hunt for similar ads for other inaugurations.

500hats needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 152 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
We are Dave McClure and Eric Ries, and we aim to represent the goals of startup entrepreneurs everywhere -- in Silicon Valley, in the US, and around the world. We have been inspired by posts on startup founder visa by Paul Graham, Brad Feld, Mike Speiser, Tim O'Reilly, and many others. We want to make it easier for startup entrepreneurs to come to the US, create new businesses, and help create great new technology AND jobs for US citizens... not to mention everyone else too.
In order to do this, we have created StartupVisa.com, a website to help change policy around the EB-5 entrepreneur visa, which enables investors from other countries to get a visa in exchange for starting a business in the US with $1M in investment capital and creating 10 US jobs.
Our goal is to modify the EB-5 visa rules slightly, so that instead of only the investor getting the visa, the startup entrepreneur who receives funding from investor(s) could alternatively get the visa. Ideally, we'd also like to lower the capital requirement to around $100K-250K, so that startups which get angel investor funding could also qualify.
The audience for this website will include:
- startup entrepreneurs
- immigration law attorneys
- government representatives
- angel investors & venture capitalists
- federal officials & commerce dept
- technology press & bloggers
We would like to create a design that makes people proud of America as a place for innovation, job creation, and technology entrepreneurship. We want to show why the US is a great place for talented startups entrepreneurs & immigrants.
One possible design is to create a US flag that is actually composed of a collage of other flags from around the world. Another concept is to show people representing immigrants from all over the world working together in a startup. Other images could represent technology, business, and entrepreneurship.
We want to make a decision quickly and get the website design together in the next 24-48 hours.

Staples rolls past Masuk in baseball
MONROE -- With two outs in the top of the first inning, Staples' Noah Yokoi hit a grounder to third base off Masuk pitcher Adam Madison for what should have ended the inning with Masuk down just one run.
But that didn't happen.
Instead, Masuk's third baseman misplayed the grounder and was too late to throw the runner out at first. The inning was extended, and the Panthers were never able to come back from the early deficit.
Staples capitalized on the Panthers' three first-inning errors as it scored four runs and never looked back on its way to an 11-2 rout Saturday.
"Having three errors, and a mental error with a dropped fly ball in the first inning, really set the tone for our guys," Masuk coach Ralph Franco said. "We just didn't bounce back from that. You spot any team like that four runs in the first inning and it's kind of tough to come back."
Madison threw 35 pitches and faced nine batters in that first inning. He pitched into the fourth inning before conceding another two runs to the Wreckers. Neither Madison nor the two other relief pitchers could find any success against the top of the Staples order.
Sam Ellinwood and Bryan Terzian reached base in each of their combined 10 plate appearances for Staples. Ellinwood was 4-4 with four singles and a walk and Terzian was 4-4 with three singles, a double, a walk and two runs batted in.
"All the pitchers struggled today (Saturday) with throwing curveballs for strikes," Franco said. "We only threw four curveballs for strikes all day. It's tough. When a good hitting team like that is just sitting on fastballs, we're not going to be successful on the mound."
Ryder Chasin had a great game for the Wreckers in what was his season debut. He pitched five shutout innings and allowed just three hits.
"My sidearm stuff was really working for me," Chasin said. "I had good location, broke one off really nice which I didn't get to do in the preseason. My pitches were working all right. I had a feel for my change-up and my fastball location was pretty spot on as well. I've got to give credit to Yokoi as well for calling a great game."
While Staples had strong performances from its pitchers and hitters, Masuk struggled in both areas. Staples added to its four-run lead in the fourth inning.
James Frusciante led off the inning with a single. Ellinwood then walked, which set the table for Terzian, who then drove in Frusciante for his second RBI of the game. Still with no outs and runners on first and third, Matt Smith hit a fly ball to Austin Ryan in right field. The ball dropped out of his glove and allowed another run to score, giving Staples a 6-0 lead with runners on second and third.
That sequence would end Madison's day. Franco called in Chris Lundquist, who walked Yokoi to load the bases. Lundquist faced six batters and got out of the jam only giving up two runs to make it an 8-0 game.
"It's a really good sign," Staples coach Jack McFarland said. "Yesterday (Friday) we won 4-1 and we had some situations where we could have blown the game open but today we turned that around and actually did."
Smith, Yokoi and Nick Vega all had an RBI off Lundquist in the fifth inning. He was replaced by Austin Ryan with two outs. Ryan thwarted the Staples bats over the next 2 1/3 innings, giving up three hits and striking out three.
With two outs in the seventh inning Bryan Moraco lined a double into center, scoring two for Masuk. The next batter grounded out to end the game.
Records: Staples 3-0, Masuk 1-1. Batteries: S--Ryder Chasin (W, 1-0), Eric Lombardo (6), Jarrett Goodness (7) and Noah Yokoi; M--Adam Madison (L, 0-1), Chris Lindquist (4), Austin Ryan (5) and Matt Romaniello

Crawfish gets the 'go-ahead' (UPDATE)
At the first-ever meeting of Orange County leaders to decide on granting a "mass gathering" permit Tuesday, April 5, the group chose to allow the function to continue with the blessing of the court. As recently revealed to the Orange County court, the permit is required by statute for events "held outside the municipality," that "attracts or is expected to attract more than 2,500 persons, or more than 500 persons if 51 percent or more of those persons may reasonably be expected to be younger than 21 years of age; and it is planned or may be reasonably expected that alcoholic beverages will be sold, served, or consumed at or around the gather;" and "at which persons will remain for more than five continuous hours, or for any amount of time during the period beginning at 10 p.m. and ending at 4 a.m."
County Judge Carl Thibodeaux said very few functions meet all the above criteria, so he doesn't anticipate having to grant too many mass gathering permits; however, several are up for approval in the coming days.
The first permit request handled by the county came from the organizers of the Mauriceville Crawfish Festival, which will hold its 31st annual event beginning April 15. Crawfish Festival board member David Teague said the committee is excited about the upcoming event and guests are in for a treat when it comes to the entertainment and cuisine slated for the festival.
According to Teague, the event founded in 1981 is steadily working to become bigger and better than the year before. The year's festival will host live music every day, a parade Saturday, April 16, starting at 9 a.m. near the Hwy 12/Hwy 62 intersection, a plethora of craft booths, food vendors aplenty, the famous B-B-Q Cook-off, carnival fair rides and games, helicopter rides, and much, much more. Selection of the Mauriceville Crawfish Queen has already been announced, and reigning over this year's festivity will be Miss Kamey Jolly.
Bands taking the stage include Friday night's line-up of the "Slow Rollin Lows" starting at 6 p.m., followed at 9:15 p.m. by the Jimmy Kaiser Band. Saturday is packed with live music starting at 11 a.m. with "Cajun Aces," " Drug Store Boys" following at 2 p.m., "Kelly Cordova" at 4 p.m., "Southern Roads" at 6 p.m., and "Cheap Whiskey" rounding out the music at 9 p.m.
Guests are invited to bring lawn chair and coolers (no glass)with favorite beverages in tow. The last of the festival will be a day of dance, as guests are treated to Square Dancers starting at noon. At 1 p.m., the "Battle of the Bands" kick off is slated to begin with a bang as several bands have tossed their bid into the competition. The event will be held just south of the Mauriceville intersection of Hwy 62 and Hwy 12 at the fairgrounds right behind the fire department on Cohenour Road. For more information, call Cynthia Doucette at (409) 651-6358.

This playground is named for the Saw Mill Creek, also known as the Mill Brook, which once flowed by this parkland. The creek originated in Gates Place in the North Bronx, ran along what is now Brook and Webster Avenues, and emptied into the Bronx Kill. Sawmills flourished along the many tributaries of Bronx waterways for more than two hundred years. The early sawmill, devised in 1352 in Europe, was dependent on water as both a power source and a means of transporting goods. Logs were floated downriver to sawmills, which cut raw lumber into standardized shapes and sizes for building purposes. Another byproduct of the sawing process was wood pulp, from which paper is made. Due to the abundance of lumber and waterpower in the Hudson River Valley, sawmills became a popular and lucrative industry for 17th Century European settlers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is almost out of money to fight the Zika virus, the agency's director said Tuesday — just hours before Florida announced three fresh homegrown cases of the infection.
Zika has now infected 46 people locally in Florida, presumably in cases spread by mosquitoes. One case is part of an outbreak in Miami Beach and health officials say they're trying to trace the origins of two others.
And the CDC, which has been helping Florida track cases and fight mosquitoes, is almost broke, NBC News reported.
"Basically, we are out of money and we need Congress to act," Frieden told reporters.
Frieden said the CDC did repurpose tens of millions of dollars. Of the $222 million allocated for Zika, $200 million is "already out the door," Frieden said. "That money is already spoken for."

Words and Photography by Arlie Carstens
Wow, I had such a bummer night at this thing, (though I must say through no fault of Nike or Beautiful Losers). Since the photos accompanying this post were supposed to be for Web, I decided the shoot the film premiere with a slippery lil' pocket-sized Casio camera instead of the more easily held Canon G9. Blah blah blah…. about five minutes inside the Montalban Theater (yes, as in Ricardo, star of Fantasy Island) I DROPPED THE CASIO. "CLANK!!! CLANG!!! CLONK!!!" Gaffled the LCD, such a drag.
(continued below)
(continued from above)
Without the aid of a screen display or viewfinder I clicked off a pile of crappy warm-up shots (sorry), grabbed complementary popcorn, peanut M & M's and bottled water then made my way to the theater's plush but far too cramped seating. Beautiful Losers unfolds via interviews with the American artists Cheryl Dunn, Ed Templeton, Mike Mills, Geoff McFetridge, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, Shepard Fairey, Thomas Campbell, Margaret Kilgallen, Barry McGee and others (a/k/a the 'beautiful losers'). Through the use of these interviews and supporting archival footage, the documentary paints a compelling, sentimental portrait of Aaron Rose's Alleged Gallery in New York City during the 90s. Which is to say this is more or less the story of a skateboarding and punk-inspired arts movement created by a loose group of largely self-taught artists, itinerant jokers and community-minded iconoclasts and rebels… all people who could just as easily be you, your friends and neighbors. It is a cozy, inspirational film intended to lead by example, imploring young and old alike to never let creativity and community die, but to instead "make what you want, and share it."
After the brief Q & A with Aaron, Cheryl Dunn, Mike Mills and Ed Templeton, however, I got the hell out of there. All in all, it was a perfectly pleasant after party full of perfectly pleasant, Swoosh-approved, bourgeois marketing managers, jovial corporate lawyers, OC-style "action-sporty" dudes in porkpie hats, well-heeled mid-level PR flacks, stripper-hot secretaries and a gaggle of casually attired, self-satisfied Nike hosts. Apart from Ed Templeton there were hardly any pro Skids of note. Weird, but that's Los Angeles for you.
Bottom line: If you wanna stay stoked on the artistry in skateboarding (and I don't just mean the pushing down the pavement part of it, I mean everything about it as a community and opportunity for expression), see this film. And ride that thing till the wheels fall off.

I'm one of the truly fortunate people. I actually love what I do for a living - working with the land, cattle and horses. Our family is healthy. I even have a hard time identifying with a lot of people who have had monumental obstacles - my parents and my wife's parents are happily married and have always been there for us.
I would guess on just about any blessing scale one could concoct, I'd be in the upper 1% of fortunate people in the world, probably even higher. With that said, I should be overflowing with gratefulness, sporting a smile that stretches from one end of the room to the next. But it isn't always like that.
The drought has a way of wearing a person down. The truck's transmission goes out. The hard drive on my laptop crashes for the second time in 8 months. Or the gate comes open on the sorted cows. Life throws challenges at you that can send you to the house at the end of the day with a foul attitude, and I've been known to take it out on family, friends, our interns, even the dog.
No one's ever accused me of being a quick study, but there are some absolute truths I've stumbled onto in my life. Few of them would be more important than the one that essentially says you and you alone are the one who chooses your own attitude.
Every motivational speaker makes that case in one way or another - it isn't the circumstances that matter but how you respond to them. The following quotes are ones I routinely reference to keep my perception in line and my attitude positive: "A pessimist is someone who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks." - Michael Levine
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind." - William James Compare what you want with what you have, and you'll be unhappy. Compare what you deserve with what you have, and you'll be happy." - Evan Esar "Optimism is an intellectual choice." - Diana Schneider
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13 If we are honest with ourselves, things are probably better than they seem. -- Troy Marshall

Legendary Entertainment has a new man of steel.
Monday, the closely held entertainment company announced that it has tapped Bruce Rosenblum, the former top television executive at Warner Bros., to be its president of television and digital media.
Thomas Tull, chief executive of Legendary Entertainment, said in a statement that Rosenblum's hiring would further the company's efforts to expand its content, including its valuable comic characters, to the small screen, tablets and mobile devices as well as into more international territories.
The newly minted partnership -- coming less than a month after Rosenblum left his post as head of TV at Warner Bros. after failing to win the top studio job -- also feeds rampant speculation that Tull is preparing his own high-profile split later this year from Warner Bros., after a lucrative co-production and distribution partnership that produced such blockbusters as the "Dark Knight" trilogy, "Clash of the Titans," "The Hangover," and the recently released "Man of Steel," which muscled its way to more than $113 million at the weekend box office.
"Bruce has an outstanding track record in the business, and he will be instantly additive to the team in our efforts to continue to make world-class content for consumers, however and wherever they access that content," Tull said in a statement. "We are pleased to have him join Legendary and look forward to working together to continue to build value for the company."
Rosenblum has more than 30 years' experience in television, and was a key member of Warner Bros.' senior leadership team until an awkward and tense two-plus-year successional battle to replace retiring Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer pitted Rosenblum against two other ranking colleagues, film president Jeff Robinov and digital president Kevin Tsujihara.
Tsujihara in January was named Meyer's successor, and Tsujihara stepped into the CEO role in March. Being passed over for the chairman job was devastating to Rosenblum, who many believed was the front-runner to run Hollywood's largest movie and television studio.
Rosenblum announced last month that he was leaving Warner Bros. -- his home for nearly 25 years. The tense corporate bake-off destroyed the relationship between Rosenblum and Robinov, as each jockeyed for position and tried to undercut each other.
Rosenblum, who received his business degree from USC and his law degree from UCLA, is currently chairman and CEO of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, a position he has held since January 2012. While at Warner Bros., he was instrumental in helping to develop D.C. comic characters for the small screen, including "Smallville."
Legendary Entertainment boasts a film division, Legendary Pictures, and a comics division, Legendary Comics, which play well among the so-called "fandom demographic."
Legendary Pictures-associated productions, including the "Dark Knight" and "Hangover" series, have generated more than $8 billion worldwide at the box office. The company's upcoming film slate includes "Pacific Rim," directed by Guillermo del Toro, and "Seventh Son," starring Jeff Bridges.

Washington Redskins' Trademarks Canceled By U.S. Patent Office
The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board canceled six trademark registrations owned by the NFL's Washington Redskins today.
Today's ruling states that the term "Redskins" is disparaging to "a substantial composite" of American Indians, The Washington Post reported.
This is not the end of the Washington Redskins, however.
The team can appeal and retain its federal trademark rights if it so chooses. And even if the club loses on appeal, it can continue to use the name, as it has for more than 80 years.
The TTAB, an independent administrative tribunal within the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, ruled that petitioners proved to them that the term Redskins was disparaging to Native Americans when the six trademarks were registered between 1967 and 1990.
The Oneida Indian Nation launched a campaign called Change the Mascot after the owner of the team stated that he would never change the team's name. Critics who have suggested a name change should at least be considered range from President Obama to several of the team's former players.

Being focused on personal genomics and its developements through the past few month, it is more than ever good to keep an eye on health data management. Indeed, personal genomics will generate huge amounts of data. It may be useful to realize that, in the same time, some try to build medical data sharing systems. In this article (maybe a bit longer than previous posts), three systems will be compared:
- US health data management
- Google Health
- Belgian electronic health platform: BeHealth
Of those three systems, the belgian one seems the most vanguardist for several reasons that will be covered in the next lines.
1. US health data management
The United States is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not ensure universal health care coverage [1]. The US system causes problems to many patients and their providers. They experience problems with care coordination. In fact there is almost no coordination at all. For example, a Harris Interactive survey of California physicians found that:
- Four of every ten physicians report that their patients have had problems with coordination of their care in the last 12 months.
- More than 60 percent of doctors report that their patients "sometimes" or "often" experience long wait times for diagnostic tests.
- Some 20 percent of doctors report having their patients repeat tests because of an inability to locate the results during a scheduled visit.
On another hand, SERMO, an American medical social network, offers its customer (65,000 physicians) to share clinical insights, observations, and review cases. Members must be authenticated as US licensed physicians, based on Social Security Number. Although this system is a good opportunity to share knowledge and even launch clinical trials, this is not really a universal health data management system. Patients have no access to it. Strictly speaking, there is even no "patient record".
There is thus no integrated, global solution in the USA for health data management.
2. Google Health
Google Health is yet another Google app intended to provide PHR (Patient Health Record). At the opposite of SERMO, it is patient-centered. Even more: the patient is in charge of everything, so that in fact there is no real control on what is true, false, relevant, etc. in the record. The patient is thus responsible of the information his record contains. What interactions are possible with that PHR? Google Health offers to:
- Search for a medical care provider
- Import medical records and notices (only from some affiliated US services)
- Send your information to some affiliated US services
Google Health is not intended to facilitate communication between several specialists or between your physician and some specialist, etc. You have to give the information to the right person(s). A major drawback of Google Health is that the user may feel lost with medical terms. Dealing with medical conditions, lots of names are rather technical. For example, it may be difficult not to get lost in the middle of the 17 types of Anemia listed. The same problem occurs with medications, immunizations, etc. Finally, there is no sign of a potential genomic data integration.
The PHR offered by Google Health is thus a good information management tool (after all, that's their job) but the user may have a bad experience and feel uneasy with it, being no medical professional. No control about veracity of the information is performed. The integration with other services is really poor. Above all, it is questionable if it is a good thing to send all your medical information to the online advertisement company…
3. Belgian electronic health platform: BeHealth
Belgium has a centralized, universal coverage health care system. Its social security system is one of the most advanced in the world [2]. Every belgian citizen has a social security number and most of the health cares are free of charge.
Family practitioners, hospitals, specialists, social security, all maintain records about parts of the medical history of the patients. Those records are managed by professionals which offers a good quality and relevance of the information. Records are thus not under the patients responsibility but, as a trade-off, are also fragmented. There is no or few centralization of the patients data. This guarantees privacy but is also an obstacle to more efficient medicine.
A new eHealth project of the Belgian federal government, called BeHealth, is currently being developed. The aims of this platform are:
- Quality and coordination of health care optimization
- Patients security optimization
- Administrative procedure simplification for all actors in the medical field
- Optimally support health care policy
How will it work? Not by centralizing all the information: this is far too dangerous for privacy. BeHealth will be based on the principle of data exchange between all the medical field actors while guaranteeing the highest standards in terms of security and privacy.
What BeHealth won't do:
- Bring modifications to concrete organization of medical cares.
- Record personal data in a centralized way (what google health does).
- Monopolize medical electronic services.
- Realize itself studies and lead experiments on patients data (what sermo does).
- Take part to political choices or influences.
- Be technology-driven (what google health is).
This project will allow the routing of appropriate information to medical providers, communicate anonymized data to some (approved) research projects, control the legitimity of access to patients information. More information (in french) here. Since it is based on a collaborative framework, it makes room for every type of medical data, including genomic data. An actor such as GeneTonix (which is a european company with nearly the same objectives as 23AndMe, Navigenics or deCODEme) could fully integrate personal genomic data into BeHealth services.
The Belgian system seems more advanced than the American one. The Belgian project BeHealth is not yet fully implemented. On June 12, Laurette Onkelinks, belgian public health federal minister anounced that a special series of laws to fully integrate BeHealth are going to be discussed. We will follow BeHealth development in the next months with interest.
This article is not exhaustive and it is probable that comparable system already exist in other countries. What about Canada, Australia, …?

Customers who have to book an emergency flight due to a death in the family no longer have the option to purchase tickets at "bereavement fare" pricing on American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL).
Continue Reading Below
In the wake of American's merger with US Airways in December, the company quietly changed its discounted fare program last week.
"In order to have a single, consistent program for American and US Airways, we made the decision to discontinue the bereavement fare class on American. Instead, both American and US Airways offer customers the option to purchase changeable and refundable fares, and customers also have the ability to apply future reservations to a last minute flight booking and are eligible to receive a refund for the change fee," a spokesperson for American Airlines said in an email message.
People needing bereavement fare tickets can still turn to United Airlines, which offers a 5% discount on fares both roundtrip and one-way in the event of a death or serious illness of an immediate family member. Delta (NYSE: DAL) also offers "flexibility" on the best published fares for travelers when last-minute travel is required due to a family emergency. Both require documentation to validate the emergency.
Frontier, Jet Blue (NASDAQ:JBLU), Virgin Atlantic, Virgin American, Hawaiian Airlines and Air Tran do not offer bereavement fares.
Kate Rosevear, owner of Travel Leaders agency in Plymouth, Mich., says American's move may actually be a favor to consumers.
"If someone walked in my office to do a bereavement fare, I would tell them that the best available fare may actually be cheaper," Rosevear says. "What people don't understand is that there are more discounted fares, this has been the reality for years." She says bereavement fares are typically full-price coach seats, and there are more hoops to jump through to prove the validity of the discount.
Although American is the first airline to take away its bereavement fares, and Rosevear says it might become a natural shift in policy among airlines.
"It's a reflection of reality. No one uses bereavement fares anymore, and people who do use them may not realize there are other options out there."
She says the only time it may be of benefit to choose a bereavement fare would be if the person was traveling to a highly-popular destination and tickets are sold out.
Delta also announced changes to its frequent flier travel SkyMiles program on Wednesday, tying the points customers earn based on the amount of money spent on tickets, rather than miles traveled. It is the first airline to make this move.
"The introduction of a new model for earning miles will increase rewards for those who spend more as well as differentiate the SkyMiles frequent flyer program for our premium travelers," said Jeff Robertson, Delta's vice president – SkyMiles, in a statement on the airline's site.
Fliers can earn between five and 11 miles per dollar spent based on their SkyMiles status, and can earn an additional two miles per dollar if they use a Delta SkyMiles Credit Card, according to Delta's website.
Brian Kelly, founder of ThePointsGuy.com, a site that helps consumers maximize their travel points, says the new point system will favor high spenders and make it harder to earn miles.
"Airlines are copy cats I am worried other airlines will take note and slash the value they give people for traveling," Kelly says. "This only rewards high spenders, so people who are price conscious and try to get the best deals will lose out."
Rosevear says this is simply another concession to reality of how consumers are paying for airfare, and that it will be interesting to see if other airlines follow suit.
"A lot of the people that use credit card points to book flights today are not using points earned from travel, it's tied to the dollars they spend at the grocery store or gas station," she says. "I just had a couple book two trips to Europe for their grandchildren with their credit card rewards points. It's the new reality."

DA: Shooting Of Pa. Man Who Killed Woman Justified
LEVITTOWN, Pa. (AP) – A prosecutor has cleared a police officer who shot and killed a man who authorities said killed his ex-wife in the parking lot of a dress shop where she was reportedly scheduled for a final fitting for a wedding dress in which she planned to remarry later in the month.
The Bucks County district attorney's office said the officer was justified in shooting 50-year-old Kevin Philipp on April 18 as he tried to reload a shotgun after firing three shots at the officer. Heckler not only found the officer's actions justified Friday but said he "should be commended," the Bucks County Courier Times (reported. Northampton police Chief Barry Pilla said the officer performed "magnificently."
Authorities said Philipp was killed less than an hour after gunning down 45-yearold Violeta Isackov several miles away in the parking lot of the Lower Southampton Township dress shop. Her 16- year-old daughter, also in the vehicle, was slightly injured, officials said.
Philipp had been released from prison April 2 after being locked up in November for violating a protection from abuse order and had been scheduled to appear before a Bucks County judge on April 29 for a related parole violation.
Heckler also revealed that on the day of the shooting, local law enforcement personnel were following up on a tip that Philipp might have tried to hire a hit man to kill his exwife.
Pa. Police Probe Shooting Death Of 17-year-old

Oprah Winfrey left an audience member on TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" speechless on Wednesday by gifting them with a new car.
The iconic TV host was promoting her new movie, "Lee Daniels' The Butler," on comedian Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show when she suddenly got the feeling to give away a Ford Fusion Energi Hybrid, donated by Ford bosses.
As a bemused Kimmel looked on, she told the crowd, "I just got that feeling again, I get that feeling, you know. I really didn't want it to happen here."
Pointing to a woman in the studio audience, she said, "You, you in the blue. You right there. You. Come up here a minute. I want to say this to you. 'You, you get a car! You get a car!'"
The woman, named only as Britney, was left stunned by the gesture, even though Kimmel appeared to be unaware that Winfrey was going to give away a car and thought she was joking.
Winfrey assured Kimmel there really was a car to be given away as Britney was led out to her new vehicle.
The media mogul became famous for her gift-giving during her stint as host of The Oprah Winfrey Show – on the season 19 premiere episode, when she gave the entire audience cars.
After her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Winfrey took to her Twitter.com page and wrote, "@jimmykimmel THAT was fun! I don't know what came over me! #yougetaCar."
Oh, and just for kicks, there's this:

In 2010, two years after earning her master's of fine arts degree, Tina Zavitsanos was knee-deep in student loan debt.
"I had such a high student loan payment -- it was more than my rent," Zavitsanos said. "I couldn't pay it."
But rather than withering under the weight of her obligation, the artist, who works in time-based sculpture, did something constructive with it.
Recording her debt -- the balance on her repayment, in hourly increments, over a three-year span -- on Xerox paper, Zavitsanos was left with the tangible representation of the money she owed. And it was staggering.
"When you have a lot of material, you make something out of it," she said. "And I had a lot of debt."
Zavitsanos is one of 24 artists featured in "The Sunken Living Room," a multimedia exhibition investigating financial crises, including the most recent economic recession. Using sculpture, video, texts, drawings, prints and photos, 24 artists tackle recession-related topics, from labor, debt and unemployment to corrupt banking practices and post-industrial urban landscapes.
The exhibition is on view at Franklin Street Works, a nonprofit contemporary art space and cafe in Stamford, through May 25.
"Through a mix of documentation, observation, allegory and autobiography, the 24 artists in this show lend unique perspectives to recent fiscal crises," Terri C Smith, Franklin Street Works' creative director, said. "Some take an individualized approach, overlaying their work with personal experiences and narratives ... others capture current events by resituating elements from cities into the gallery."
Zavitsanos took the former approach, exploring the gravity of her student loan debt in her sculpture, "It was what I wanted now: 2010-2035."
"I wanted to expand something that was being hidden from me," she said.
But Zavitsanos didn't stop there. The piece has the optical effect of continuing into the lower gallery, where another stack of papers extends from the ceiling to the floor. In this counterpart piece, "1932/1933 (it was what I wanted now.)," Zavitsanos tracks the debt of her ancestors through the Great Depression.
The object of the expanded work, Zavitsanos said, is to encourage viewers to reflect not only on the debt they have incurred, but on the ways in which they are "indebted to their family, friends and communities.
"People are always thinking about a way to get rid of debt, but I want to think about what we have," she said. "I see this as a spine."
Other artists in "The Sunken Living Room" utilize elements of derelict structures and decaying cityscapes in their work. Anya Sirota and Akoaki's "Piranesian Bling" sculptures are modeled after disused components from Detroit's abandoned Packard plant, while Beate Geissler and Oliver Sann's photo series, "the real estate," features images of vacant apartments in Chicago.
Short films that document recession-related phenomena play throughout the exhibition. Ana Pecar and Oliver Ressler's video, "In the Red," follows Strike Debt, an offshoot group of Occupy Wall Street, as they plan and execute a series of protests. In "Fe26," Kevin Jerome follows two Cleveland men who steal manhole covers and copper piping to earn a living in an unforgiving economy.
Other artists include references to the 1970s, another notable recession era. Disco is the focus of Kerry Downey's video "Nursing Disco," while workers rights and union slogans come up in Andrea Bowers' "Workers Rights Posters."
"By combining artworks from today with popular and high culture items from the past," Smith said, "the works in `The Sunken Living Room' connect shared cultural experiences with contemporary projects to explore the utopic desires and deflating exasperation of post-World War II recession economies."
Sadly, as the artists in "The Sunken Living Room" reveal, those "utopic desires" are often dashed by the economic realities. Zavitsanos' piece will remain a work in progress; she will always be in debt.
But as the artist acknowledges, she isn't the only one. It is through the recognition of this shared experience that we can rely on each other, and she said, "Change the way we think about debt."
"There are all kinds of debts, not just mine," Zavitsanos said. "I'm mad and I understand it personally, but I like to think of we rather than I."

As a Service Learner, it is very important to keep up with the necessary documents required by the Service Learning Program and your professor. Pay special attention to the deadlines set by our program and your professor to ensure that your records are kept updated and you receive full credit for your service learning. Keep in mind that your Student Coordinator also has deadlines by which such forms must be entered into our database to ensure that professors are given accurate reports. Also, the Service Learning Office retains this paperwork for five years, as we occasionally receive requests for references. Please feel free to use us as a reference in the future if need be.
All Service Learners are required to complete a registration form prior to the start of their service. This form is now online as part of the Sign-Up Night registration process. The registration form is used to record Service Learners' contact information, what placement they are interested in, and for what course they hope to conduct their service. The information is logged into the Service Learning Program's database. This form is kept on file for five years in the Service Learning Program Office for reference purposes. If you miss Sign-Up Night, you should still complete the online registration form immediately after Sign-Up Night. Download the Service Learning Registration Form.
If a Service Learner chooses to complete their commitment at an independent site approved by their professor, they must complete an Unapproved Placement Form. This serves a similar purpose to the registration form, but asks for further information about the site to be used. Download the Unapproved Placement Form.
The Service Learning Program uses the Contract as evidence that a service agreement has been made between the agency, the student, the professor, and the Service Learning Program. This contract states the start and end dates of the service, as well as the type of service being provided. Students are asked to complete what their learning objectives will be for the semester in order for the agency to better guide their experiences. Signatures are required from the student, the supervisor at their respective site, and the student's professor in order to be valid. Student Coordinators will visit your classrooms to collect the contracts on a specified date. If you do not turn one in at that time, it is your responsibility to drop a copy off at our office as soon as possible. Download the Service Learning Contract Please print two copies of the contract. One copy for the Service Learning Program office and one copy for your site.
The Timesheet is used to keep track of the dates and number of hours served by a students during their service contract. There is also a line for the student to briefly explain what their activities that day included. At the end of the semester, the total number of visits to the site as well as the total number of service hours provided is recorded and the Service Learner and site supervisor must sign the sheet as verification. It is the student's responsibility to keep track of their service hours and get the sheet signed and turned in by the due date. Student Coordinators will collect Timesheets from your classes. If you do not have the Timesheet at that time, you must download and print your own copy, or get the sheet to the Service Learning Office before finals week in order to be included on the hours report given to your professor and receive credit for your Service Learning. Download the Service Learning Timesheet.

It's June 21 and summer is officially here! The warm temperatures are creeping across the US , and everyone is turning to ice cold beverages to beat the heat. The BUNN Home Products Division is no different. We've been trading in our regular coffee and tea for iced versions. Janice, the Credit Administrator for the Home Products Division, is an avid tea drinker, and brought in fresh raspberries to share with the department for a tasty, summer snack. This got us thinking; could we create an iced tea with these ripe, in-season berries?
We started experimenting with the My Caf MCU at the Home Products Division brew bar. (Yes. We have a brew bar in our department. )
Home Products Division Brew bar!
We grabbed a few black tea bags, a cup of ice, a handful of raspberries and went to work. Here's how we started our experiment:
First, it is important to note that when preparing any iced tea it is recommended to brew double strength tea. Otherwise, the ice will dilute the tea with loss of flavor and color.
After we poured the second batch of tea over ice, we topped it off with fresh raspberries. We placed whole and sliced berries in our tea.
The Result: Delicious Tea.
Janice described the tea as, "fruity and refreshing."
Try this tea recipe at home and tell us what you think on our Facebook page at Facebook.com/BunnFans!
Happy summer!

GOP not fazed by paycheck vote
Republicans working to improve their image among women aren't worried about suffering a political backlash if they follow through with plans to block the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Most Senate Republicans are expected to unite on Wednesday to block the legislation, which would allow workers to compare salaries without the threat of retaliation, force companies to explain pay disparities between men and women and allow those discriminated against to seek punitive damages.
Story Continued Below
Democrats are pushing the bill because they say it's good policy — but also to force Republicans into taking a tough vote ahead of the midterm elections. But the GOP seems perfectly comfortable killing the bill, risking legions of negative headlines and coordinated Democratic attacks on the GOP as a party out of touch with women.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama hits GOP over equal pay bill)
Republicans argue the bill is unnecessary, given existing pay laws, and will increase litigation rather than encourage pay equity between men and women. And they say that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's tight grip on the chamber's amendment process is preventing their alternatives from ever seeing the light of day.
The GOP is hoping that voters know better than to fall for what Republicans call Democratic "show votes" in the pitched seven-month battle for control of the Senate. Minority Whip John Cornyn of Texas said he's even privately chided Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) — who's designed much of the Democrats' election-year Fair Shot for Everyone agenda — over how transparently political Democrats have become in the past few weeks in laying out a Senate floor strategy heavy on legislation that has little chance of becoming law.
"This whole thing is really backfiring on the administration and on our Democratic friends because people are seeing it for what it is: It's a transparent political campaign. It isn't actually about solving problems, because the law of the land is already paycheck equity," Cornyn said in an interview.
Added Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the chamber's No. 3 Republican: "They don't care about the fix. All they care about is who pays at the ballot box."
( PHOTOS: 10 tough Senate races for Democrats)
Indeed, the Senate's Republican women and those who have sided with Democrats on fighting discrimination based on sexual orientation are prepared to shrug off Democrats' familiar messaging that paints Republicans at odds with the interests of women.
"There are already laws against discrimination. And this is just a completely political attempt to try to take an issue and misconstrue it," said Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who backed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
GOP women said on Tuesday that pay disparity is certainly a huge problem — but the Democrats' bill does nothing to solve it. In that light, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) tasked Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) to roll out an alternative to the Democrats' bill, which she trashed as eroding merit pay and flexibility for women.
"There's a lot wrong," Fischer said of their bill, adding that Republicans prefer to strengthen existing discrimination protections, provide for more flexible working schedules and increase workers' access to comp time.

At Odds Over Purebred
Which of two neighbors rightfully owns a cat, which one woman believes is her long-lost Ragdoll, a cream-colored breed created in the 1960s, will apparently be resolved in court, as the women involved and who live on Northway in the Barnes Landing area of Springs, each claim it and have hired lawyers.
Ragdolls look something like Siamese, but are long-haired and fuller-bodied. Beth Eckhardt believes it is the cat she bought as a 41/2-month-old kitten at a pet store in Malibu in 2001, and that disappeared in 2004. A male, she named it Sara, pronounced Sirrah. On the other hand, Suzanne Dickinson, who lives three doors away, says the cat is a Burmese and has been hers for years. Both women have had two cats living with them and, in fact, cats led them to each other and the dispute.
On Aug. 3, Ms. Eckhardt said she was outside looking for Brother, one of her two black cats. An indoor-outdoor cat, he had not returned to her house. Izzy, her other cat, black but long-haired, went along with her. As they approached Ms. Dickinson's driveway, however, Ms. Eckhardt said Izzy lay down and started howling. When she tried to persuade him to follow her, he wouldn't budge and continued to howl.
At that point, Ms. Eckardt said, she looked in a window of her neighbor's house to see if she could learn what had set Izzy off. To her amazement, she said she saw Sara. Izzy and Sara had grown up together, she added.
Like Brother, Sara was an indoor-outdoor cat. In 2004, when he hadn't come home, Ms. Eckhardt reported him missing. She ran an ad in The East Hampton Star for five weeks, put fliers up, and had the disappearance announced on the radio. She also reported the loss to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, the Town Highway Department, to local veterinarians and animal hospitals, and to Pat Lillis, who operates a private rescue organization.
She said she had canvassed her neighborhood, and that no one was home when she knocked on the door of the Dickinson house.
After seeing the cat she believed to be hers, Ms. Eckhardt said, she knocked on the door but, again, no one responded. She went back later in the day, however, and this time Ms. Dickinson came to the door, and so did the cat. Ms. Eckhardt said she asked Ms. Dickinson about her black cat. Ms. Dickinson had not seen Brother and said her own cats were rescues.
According to Ms. Eckhardt, Ms. Dickinson said she had found the cat on her deck, assumed he had been abandoned, and, in September, had taken him to New York City. She said she had had the cat scanned for a microchip but had not made a further attempt to identify its owner.
"My husband and I both thought he had been bought by a mother for her children and then abandoned at the end of the summer. We thought we were doing a nice thing, especially since it was cold and rainy," Ms. Dickinson subsequently said. Her husband has since died.
Ms. Dickinson said, "She thinks it's her cat but it's not." Ms. Dickinson said the cat was already declawed when she found him and that Ms. Eckhardt does not declaw her cats. Ms. Eckhardt has contended that the cat was declawed by whoever took him. Ms. Dickinson said that, although she was not planning to give the cat to Ms. Eckhardt, "I want to know what would make her whole."
One of the reasons the breed was named Ragdoll is because of its affectionate, outgoing personality and its tendency, once in the embrace of a person, to become completely loose jointed and relaxed.
Ms. Eckhardt described the paperwork necessary to bring the cat east on an airplane. Once at home in Springs, she said she used to take the kitten to her business, Amagansett Flowers by Beth, in Amagansett Square.
Ms. Dickinson had been unsure, in speaking to a reporter, of the year she had found the cat. She thought it might have been earlier than 2004, perhaps as early as 2000 or 2001. She said she would be gardening and would hear a cat purring, and it would be that cat.
On Aug. 8, Ms. Eckhardt filed a complaint with the East Hampton Town Police, and an officer visited Ms. Dickinson to get her side of the story. The police report states that Ms. Eckhardt arrived with a photograph of the cat, but that Ms. Dickinson refused to look at it, and asked Ms. Eckhardt to leave.
The police report also notes that Ms. Eckhardt paid $1,000 for the Ragdoll. She has spoken with an attorney, John Courtney, and plans to pursue legal action in civil court. Ms. Dickinson has retained the services of Robert Savage.
Ms. Eckhardt's black cat, Brother, did return home.
