Leaked Email: Military Top Brass Warn Troops Off March For Ron Paul
"High importance" message distributed by Senior Navy official
Steve Watson
February 17, 2012
An email leaked by multiple active duty personnel shows that the military has issued a warning to troops encouraging them not to take part in the upcoming Veterans for Ron Paul 2012 march in Washington on Monday.
The email, posted to the group's facebook event page and sent to organiser Adam Kokesh by several unconfirmed sources, lays out several directives on participation in political events by active and non active duty military.
Referring to the event as a "partisan political march", the insinuation is clear – any active duty personnel, whether in uniform or not, and any reservists marching in uniform or otherwise deemed to be endorsing Ron Paul, could be reprimanded.
The email, apparently sent by Joel A. Weger, Senior Attorney at the Office of the Assistant General Counsel (Ethics) in the Department of the Navy, was sent on high importance and warns recipients "You may wish to advise your command regarding this particular event because of the apparent solicitation of active duty personnel".
The full email is below:
—–Original Message—–
From: Weger, Joel A CIV OGC, Ethics [mailto:email@example.com]
Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 8:17
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: [ETHICS] Partisan Political MarchImportance: High
It has come to our attention that a partisan political march targeting
military personnel is being organized for February 20, 2012. See link
As a reminder, active duty personnel are prohibited by DoD Directive 1344.10
paragraph 126.96.36.199 from marching in a partisan political parade regardless
of whether they are in uniform or civilian clothes. Reservists not on
active duty and retirees may not march in uniform pursuant to paragraph
4.1.4. Reservists not on active duty and retirees may march in civilian
clothes provided that they do not otherwise act in a manner that could
reasonably give rise to the inference or appearance of official sponsorship,
approval, or endorsement.The directive is a lawful general regulation. Violations of paragraphs 4.1.
through 4.5. of the Directive by persons subject to the Uniform Code of
Military Justice are punishable under Article 92, "Failure to Obey Order or
Regulation."In addition, DODI 1334.01, paragraph 3.1.2 prohibits the wearing of the
uniform by members of the armed forces (including retired members and
members of reserve components) during or in connection with political
activities.You may wish to advise your command regarding this particular event because
of the apparent solicitation of active duty personnel.Joel A. Weger
Senior Attorney
Department of the Navy
Office of the Assistant General Counsel (Ethics)
Adam Kokesh, co-founder of Veterans for Ron Paul 2012 and himself an Iraq war veteran, responded to the email by thanking the Navy for inadvertently promoting the event.
Watch the video:
The directives cited in the email were recently highlighted when it was revealed that someone within the military had taken exception to Reserve Corporal Jesse Thorsen's endorsement of Ron Paul during the Congressman's post-Iowa caucuses rally.
After mysteriously being cut short during a CNN interview, Thorsen, who has served two tours in Afghanistan and was due to head back for a third, was invited on to the stage by Paul himself to address Paul's cheering supporters.
Thorsen, while not currently on active duty, duly received threats of reprimand for appearing in uniform with Paul.
As has been repeatedly noted, Ron Paul is the presidential choice of the troops. Paul has received more campaign donations from active duty military personnel than any other presidential candidate, including Barack Obama.
To date, Paul has collected $95,567 from individuals who listed their occupation as one of the branches of the US military or US Department of Defense.

Difference between revisions of "Phong Nha-Ke Bang"
Revision as of 02:05, 7 October 2011Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is in Quảng Bình Province, in the north of the Central Coast region of Vietnam. ContentsUnderstandHistoryLandscapeFlora and faunaClimateGet inAirplane: Currently, the closest service is via Vietnam Airlines to Dong Hoi, check their website for latest fares and flight times. Train: Several arrivals and departures at Dong Hoi daily from as far away as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, only a few hours from Hue. Bus: A local bus goes from Dong Hoi to Phong Nha for 40,000 VND. It departs at 14:00 from Nam Ly bus station. The bus back to Dong Hoi leaves Phong Nha at 8:00, so you have to either stay overnight or try to go back with one of the tour buses (they may even take you to Dong Hoi for free). Motorbikes: Motorbikes can be rented for 150,000 VND from hotels in Dong Hoi. It takes about 1 hour via a highway that has little traffic: the Phong Nha cave is about 45 km from Dong Hoi and the Thien Duong (Paradise) Cave is about 70 km from Don Hoi. Taxis: can be hired from hotels/resorts, airport or train station in Dong Hoi. About 1 hour on a highway with cars, oxcarts, motorbikes, buses, trucks. Tours are available from Hue. Hotels in Dong Hoi can arrange day trips to the park. Fees/PermitsGet aroundSeePhong Nha and Tien Son Caves: It costs 40,000 VND for the entrance fee to see each cave (80,000 VND for both) and 250,000 VND (~USD 12.50) to rent a boat for up to 14 people to visit both caves (or 220,000 VND for the boat to only one of the two caves). You can share a boat with other tourists that show up. Renting a boat is a requirement as there is no other way to get to the caves. Caves are exquisite and very large. It is about 45 km by road from Dong Hoi and takes about an hour by motorbike. More information on Wikipedia: Phong Nha Cave and Tien Son Cave. Nuoc Mooc Spring Eco Trail: 50,000 VND for ticket. Transportation can be negotiated to take you there from Phong Nha village. Buy ticket at the hut under the sign off the road, then wander the bamboo bridges and paths along both sides of the river/rapids. Go back to see where the river springs up out of the ground. This is also on the road to the Thien Duong (Paradise) Cave. Thien Duong (Paradise) Cave: Newly paved road off the main HCM Highway provides car/motorbike/bus access. Buy 120,000 VND ticket to enter; the fee includes an English speaking guide. Just after that, separate >>optional<< ticket for non-polluting electric golf cart to the base of the stairs (if nice weather, walk along the new path of about 1.6 km instead). Approx. 500 stairs up to entrance of cave, another 100-200 stairs down inside. Stunning, tastefully lit cave features along 1.1 km of new (spring 2011) wooden pathways. It is about 70 km by road from Dong Hoi and takes about an hour and a half by motorbike. Some claim that this is among the most beautiful caves in the world. More information here on Wikipedia. DoBicycling and kayaking, swimming at allowed points along the rivers.

Sizing Up Solar-Power IPOs
Around this time last year, corn-based ethanol sprouted into investor's minds. Stock in agriculture giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) was soaring on ethanol prices, and smaller pure-play outfits like VeraSun Energy (VSE) and Aventine Renewable Energy (AVR) timed their initial public offerings to coincide with America's newfound interest in alternative fuel.
It hasn't worked out as planned. In Washington, representatives of corn-growing states have put massive support behind the fuel, ensuring that its use will increase for years to come, but the ethanol industry hasn't been able to avoid criticism that the fuel is more of a sop to farmers than the solution to U.S. energy problems. Even ethanol producers have suffered, as demand for the fuel has sent corn prices skyrocketing. Since their market debuts, VeraSun and Aventine shares have both fallen more than 40%, and ADM is well off its 52-week high.
That hasn't kept other alt-energy players from throwing their hats in the ring. This year, investors willing to brave this still risky segment may have a more attractive option in solar power. Two upcoming U.S. initial public offerings by Chinese companies highlight a clean energy source that could be a smarter long-term bet. While corn-derived ethanol's strongest advocates are corn farmers and their lobbyists, energy analysts tend to see a bright future for solar power once it can overcome several obstacles.
Seeking Secure Supplies
The first hurdle, not surprisingly, is cost. Solar installations are expensive and polysilicon, a necessary ingredient for solar panels and computer chips, is in short supply. Demand exceeds the capacity and new plants can take years to come on line. Polysilicon is so highly valued that U.S. outfit Evergreen Solar (ESLR) and the Chinese company Suntech Power (STP) recently exchanged stakes in themselves for secure supplies of the material.
This week should see the IPO of LDK Solar, a Chinese manufacturer of solar wafers used in the solar panels that actually convert sunlight into electricity. The company, analysts say, is in a relatively good position, having secured much of the polysilicon it will need for its expected production capacity. Sam Snyder, an analyst at IPO research shop Renaissance Capital, says the deal for the pure-play wafer manufacturer has "scarcity value" in an industry where companies split up the multistep process of manufacturing solar panels.
Another Chinese player expected to price in coming weeks is Yingli Green Energy, which offers investors a vertically integrated model that manufactures wafers and makes them into photovoltaic cells. It also works on folding them into workable solar power-generating systems.
Relatively Young Industry
Both companies have put up credible numbers. LDK posted 2006 net income of $25.8 million on sales of $105.5 million, while Yingli had $24.1 million in net income on revenue of $114.4 million in the first eight months of 2006.
So far the relatively young industry has seen excitement as stocks in profitable companies like SunPower (SPWR) and First Solar (FSLR) enjoyed enormous gains in their stock prices while other less nimble companies struggled in the fledgling space. The Chinese companies may have advantages over their U.S. counterparts as demand for solar electricity builds.
Todd Glass, chair of the energy practice group at law firm Heller Ehrman, says "anytime where manufacturing cost is a key component, China has a competitive edge" over American outfits. This is especially the case when the companies have a relatively solid supply of polysilicon, as both LDK and Yingli do.
New Technology on the Way
However industry dynamics could be changing. Glass sees the polysilicon supply growing as more plants get up and running. Already industry consensus has it that more polysilicon is used in solar panels than for microchips, their previous dominant use.
Polysilicon has proven a boost for manufacturers such as St. Peters (Mo.)-based MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR) which has seen its stock price more than double since July. However a newer technology called thin film could emerge as the next-generation solar competitor. Miasolé, a private Silicon Valley startup, manufactures solar cells that use a metallic compound instead of polysilicon, exempting it from the heated competition for polysilicon. Profitable First Solar also uses a non-silicon technology.
But before warming to solar power, investors should remember how last year's ethanol boomlet went sour. Even when a product gains widespread use, profits—and stock-price gains—are not a sure thing. And while solar technology has a bright future, not all the players will share the spoils.

i dunno. while i agree for the most part, i still feel 7.5% of the time, Cruz will drop it, is too high/much.
its easy to look back and go "only 10", but iirc, at least 2 of those situations were crucial plays he alligator armed...i suppose it is a bit nit picking. especially when cruz ranks among the games best at virtually every category over the last 2 yrs...
For me, we're talking about the most productive receiver in both of the last two years. I don't agree that drops are "meaningless" and I'm pretty sure they aren't meaningless to Cruz either. It's something he has to work on improving but, in the grand scheme of things, I think he's really the only one who needs to focus on it.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Remember how people killed Hixon and labeled him butterfingers because he dropped two passes one year.
aha thats the example i needed with the point i was trying to make a few posts ago. looking back in hindsight, it seems we as fans remember drops, esp somewhat significant ones, moreso than we do of successful plays. That Hixon example is apt because he had that 1 pivotal drop vs Philly on what shoulda been a gimmie TD...and it was scarred into our collective memories bc of how blatant/visual a drop that was. Wouldnt matter if Hixon never dropped a pass again, he'd always be remembered in part by that drop.
My argument is not about cruz having a lot of drops, but cruz having a bad habit of taking his eyes off of the balI, which has led to drops. I think he needs to work on breaking that habit. I dont know about the other guys on that list but Jimmy graham took a lot of heat last year because of his drops and its something he knows he has to work on.
But I have two questions for you.
Is there anything you think cruz needs to improve on? If so, then would it be wrong to say he needs to improve on a bad habit of taking his eyes off of the ball?

Don't take it personal, we're just debating.
~Big Mike~
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Totally agree. Every top receiver drops passes when they turn to locate the defender before securing the ball. It's going to happen. Get used to it.
Cruz dropped 8.7% and 9.1% of his targets the last two years. Maybe this will help. He caught 91.3% and 90.9% of his targets the last two years. And people are complaining.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.81 / 5.00 7,634 ViewsPlay as an unnamed hero and save the world from the Spike King who rained spikes from the sky and crushed all the balls living in the land.
This game is an arcade-adventure mix where you dodge falling spikes, get money, upgrade your stats, collect fourteen different items, and travel through over ten different levels to reach your goal. After completing the main story, there are also extra gamemodes you can mix and combine for a whole new experience the next time you play. Additionally, there are achievements that you can earn, so push yourself to collect them all.
Not only is there a Story Mode, but there's also a Survival Mode in which you can test your skills by dodging spikes until you can no longer.
v1.2 - 5/512
- Decreased the difficulty of the boss stage
- Fixed Overdrive and Loads of Money Medals not unlocking
v1.1 - 5/4/12
- Fixed some Medals not unlocking
- Fixed Hard Mode having the wrong description text
- Fixed spikes sometimes not falling
- Fixed Scoreboard (hopefully)
- Fixed score not getting reset on a new game
haven't played this game since it came out on may the fourth day last year 2012 and now i am playing it again 1 and a day later
loooved it ... i finished it in 1 hour ... awesome game. but the king was a little bit silly.
While I did have several incidents involving the Ground Spikes suddenly hitting me even though I was quite far away from them, I really like the game and it's challenge...
i liked the game, but this unfair glitch keeps happening with the ground spikes, which makes them teleport right underneath me while they're coming up. that is the only reason I didn't rate 5 stars.

Go Patriots woo woo
I missed the musicals
She will Die Another Day.
hell yes that commercial was awesome
holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy shit
That was good.
He's in.
definitely complete
We flipped a coin and I ended up on the Giants side, despite the fact that I know the patriots are going to win, fuck that and fuck my roomates artsy fartsy friends.
Christ this is intense, also why am I still up at 2:40am
I saw earlier that a player flipped up something from his wristband. What was it? Some kind of board to draw tactics on?
Sitting in a lounge in my dorm. Every time something significant happen, they scream bloody murder. My fucking ears.
I saw it too and I hoped for a minute that it was some kind of tablet.
Yeah, pretty much.
Come on Gnats, dont fail me now.
The QB wears it to help call plays depending on the down/yardage/time remaining/etc. It's good for quick drives and to keep the defense on edge.
come onnn GNATSSS.
Dont quote me on this, but i think its a playbook.
gonna be 23-17
edit: or not
Giants have put themselves in a great position.
Poor Bradshaw, trying to stop at the 1.
That was the weirdest play ive seen
guessing we're gonna see a p crazy trick play by the pats on this last drive
Are you fucking kidding. Come on brady !!!!
They're in an excellent spot.
but Brady is still fuckin dangerous. they need to watch it.
57 seconds on the clock. This was morr than worth staying up to 3 am.
Bradshaw just gives no shits. Well done.
very clever. they allowed that td to happen
least they missed the field goal.
80 yard 57 seconds. Too tense
Gotta bring that one down.
choking WRs just what we need great
Should've brought that one down as well.
ugh...this could turn out realllyyy bad.

one i bought for a friend through radiohead's site was $336 with all fees. $13 more this year, MY GOD!
straight from the fucking coachella website, people. anyone think to check there????
Pass was $285.
"The additional charges on top of the face value of the passes are as follows:
GA Pass + $3 Charity +$9 Facility fee + $29 service/convenience fee"
=$326 + $10 for shipping = $336
The price went up $13.

OMG $13 in 6 years!!! HELL HAS FROZEN OVER
.................................................. ..............
She added the phrase "meany head" to my profile.I hardly think I'm an attention whore.I train birds of prey and am I licensed falconer
I will happily pay the price increase on Thursday!
I'm really not sure if I can save that extra $13 over the course of 11 months.
My receipt says "There is a $12 ($9 Facility + $3 Charity included in the base price of each ticket).
This is not a new thing they are doing this year, they did it last year too.
I see no $29 service/convenience fee, but I do have a $116 Delivery fee (for 4 tickets), which coincidentally is 4x$29, so that is the same.
overall tickets are going to be $35 more.
All they are doing is including the shipping in with the price this year.
I don't have much problem with it, but we should be clear on the increase.
Edit: I can't even find if shipping is actually going to be included in the ticket price this year. Can anyone else find it?
Last edited by CrimesceneCookie; 05-14-2012 at 02:35 PM.
no, they will be $13 more per ticket. not sure how much clearer it can be when going by what is on the website. take off $10 for shipping and that $12 for the charity/facility fee from your $35 and, wow magic, you have $13. not a coincidence. seems there was some misinformation on your receipt.

Rememebr when going to the movies cost a nickle?
"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."
Even if the price increase WAS $35, that is spread out over ten payments. That is $3.50 a month. If that is going to be an issue, then buying Coachella tickets in the first place is a poor financial decision.
Fuck these charities dollars! They are stealing 1.5 bottles of water from me!
ok i concede it's a little confusing on my receipt.
this year 4 passes + shuttle = $1596 ($399x4)
last year 4 passes + shuttle = $1462 ($365.50x4)
difference - $33.50 increase
this is assuming shipping is included in the $399 price this year. If it is, cool. If not, rabble rabble.

They are charging more because they can. They sold out quickly last year. That told them that they had it priced too low. If you sold bottles of ketchup for $1.49 and they sold out in two minutes, you would raise the price to $1.99.
They will not give us more services because we paid more. They will give us more services if they (a) tell us that they will provide more services as an incentive to pay the extra money, and/or (2) feel that the services they had been providing mean that fewer people will buy tickets.
Why when I was kid, you got the matinee for $3 if you were an adult and went in before 6pm, not 4pm! Now a days, you see a matinee and its $9.50 before 3pm, then they don't have the popcorn specials, and the kids check your bags so you can't use the good ol' air popper for popcorn from home. Metal detectors have stopped me from bringing in sodas too! DAMN KIDS.
Edit: And now we're gonna pay extra for art that won't be ready till weekend 2.
was that presale? maybe you did? maybe presale had a little discount last year, but regular onsale was the $285 + the $12 and other fees like convenience and shipping. i do seem to remember presale being $269 and then that $12 would make it $281. would make sense that many here would see a larger increase since i am assuming most here did buy during presale. seems we may have found our discrepancy.

Total cost for a layaway ticket last year was $320. This year it's 349. It's an 8% increase.
Here is my statement. We all didn't buy from Radiohead's website which charged a tad more. This was purchased directly through Coahcella/Front Gate on layway last June.
Not here to argue just point out the facts since so many people are giving different prices for last year.
Last edited by faxman75; 05-14-2012 at 03:05 PM.
add the $16 more for the difference between presale and general onsale, $269(or $281 once you add in the $12 charge like on crimescene's receipt)+fees = $320 to the $285+fees = $336. so there was a discount for presale last year, not this year.
Last edited by JustSteve; 05-14-2012 at 03:08 PM.
I paid $368 per person for the ticket/shuttle combination. So $399 - $368 = $13 now? Maybe make sure you should check with those who paid for tickets before you start complaining about their math skills.
For your health
not talking about the shuttle combos. purely cost of a ga pass. general on sale pass last year was $336 and this year is $349, no presale discount.

Oh my god who the fuck gives a shit. You all sound retarded getting up in arms over an extra 20, 30, 40, or even 50 dollar price increase to a weekend that costs us each at least a grand even if you're super thrifty. Now please stop arguing about tiny price increases, this same dumb crap goes on every year and it's always stupid.
Maybe the extra money will go to cleaning the toilets? Please let it be so!!!
"Well, that's just like, you know... your opinion, man"
domestic ga passes are $13 higher for 2013. steve posted correct info in case anyone is interested. that is inclusive of shipping.

Heaven help us if Coachella ever increases the price of water from $2... There would be riots in the streets! :P
they just need to start charging $20 for day parking, everyone is so conditioned to have to pay for it at pretty much every other large scale event they go to. would be less outrage over that than the $13 more for a pass this year.

Bordered by Buckingham Palace and Green Park in the heart of Westminster, the hotel in centrally located in London. Rich in history and heritage, the hotel has introduced the quintessential Taj service through new offerings, amenities and service enhancements, combined with the famed Taj hospitality.
At St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, some of the enhanced and differentiated experiences include in-room check in, signature welcome and signature fragrances. Guests will also have access to an extensive fleet of exclusive vintage and classic vehicles, including the Queen Mother's favourite Jaguar DS420 Daimler limousine 'Grand Princess' and Lord Mountbatten's vintage Daimler 'Silver Baroness'. Other experiences include unique dining experiences like the 24 Karat Gold Afternoon Tea and a customised Kids @ Taj program.
Meanwhile, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate, Suites and Residences is further enhancing its luxury offering through bespoke experiences such as the Taj Royal Attache butler service, optional Jaguar airport transfers and exclusive horse and carriage rides. In addition to the two signature suites - the world's first Jaguar Suite and the uniquely designed Cinema Suite - the hotel is remodelling other suites. In 2014, it will welcome a new lobby and reception lounge, a new restaurant, tea and library lounges and an exclusive private dining area.
Guests at both of the hotels will benefit from complimentary WiFi, superlative Clefs d'Or (Golden Keys) Concierge service, tailored treatments at the Wellness Centre and a host of on-site dining options, including Michelin-star Quilon.
Commenting on the launch, Raymond Bickson, MD and CEO of the Taj Group, said: "This important re-branding comes at an exciting time for the increasing strategic links between India and UK. We are delighted to have the opportunity to restore these iconic hotels that have more than a century of heritage."
Deepa Harris, Senior VP Global Sales & Marketing of the Taj Group added: "The success of our London hotels provided the impetus to consolidate our brand presence in the UK, being an important source market for Taj. St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel is positioned as an English classic, while Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences will offer authentic luxury experiences, reflecting the universally acclaimed warmth and personalised service that the Taj is celebrated for."

Wallace Stevens
"We continued to enhance the disclosure as we worked with the SEC."
Amy Stewart
"As a congressman, I've never called for a ban. We've called for a full disclosure of the risks involved... Patients have a right to know that this is a very powerful and dangerous drug, and knowing all that, if they still wish to take it, then they can. But we know doctors are not adequately explaining it to the patients, pharmacists are not adequately discussing this with the person who picks up the prescription."
Bart Stupak
"This is a filing where broad disclosure is encouraged and where many possible contingencies are set forth."
Bonnie Jacobs
"We don't know who has provided assistance to the group because no disclosure is required."
Bob Bonde
"a form of full disclosure."

Cleveland Cavaliers fire coach Byron Scott after three seasons
The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired coach Byron Scott after his third straight losing season with the franchise.
When LeBron James made his decision and left the Cleveland Cavaliers, everybody expected the rebuilding process to be a long and arduous process for the franchise. Well, almost everybody. They hired Byron Scott, lost a lot of games, ended up with the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft and made four first-round picks in the 2011 and 2012 drafts.
They ended up with a franchise player to build around in Kyrie Irving and decided to go cut cap space, stockpile draft picks and take a slow rebuilding process to get back to the title contenders that they used to be. That process apparently no longer requires the services of coach Byron Scott. The team announced Thursday that they've released Scott from coaching the team:
The Cleveland Cavaliers have released Head Coach Byron Scott, the team announced today from Cleveland Clinic Courts. The announcement was made by Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant.
"I have tremendous respect for Byron professionally and a great deal of admiration for him personally. At the same time, it is critical for where we are as a team to ensure that we capitalize on every opportunity for development and success and we have fallen short of that on the court," said Grant. "I believe we needed to make this change in order to get to a better position to achieve our goals. I know I speak on behalf of the entire Cavs organization and the Cleveland community, in thanking Byron for his three years here and his hard work and many contributions on and off the court. We wish Byron and his wife, Anita, the best."
During his three seasons with the Cavs, Scott's teams compiled a record of 64-166 (27.8 winning percentage) and had one of the worst net differentials in the NBA in all three seasons. Earlier in April, many fans and media members believed Scott was on his way out with the organization when Irving wouldn't comment on his coach's employment situation. The Cavs' point guard said he just wanted to concentrate on finishing out the season with his coach.
Without the team's franchise player publicly backing the coach, it looked like a sign that Scott wouldn't be returning next season. Irving has often been a proponent for Byron and credited him with helping him develop into the player whom he has become during his short career, but that apparently wasn't enough to keep his coach around the team.
A big reason the Cavs might not have felt progress was being made is because of the team's lack of improved defensive production. For three straight seasons under Scott, Cleveland has finished 26th or worse in the NBA in defensive rating (points per 100 possessions given up). Even though the team has had multiple injuries and asked young players to step in and play as veterans, you would have liked to have seen some improvement when it comes to the team's defensive capabilities.
Instead, the losing and the lack of progression ended up contributing to Byron Scott losing his job with the organization.

Modeling Traffic and Crowd Flows
What do traffic and crowds have in common? I'll give you a hint - they both flow. In fact they flow so much that the same governing principles at play in fluid flow can also be extended to simulate traffic flow and the motion of dense crowds.
Traffic Flow Simulation
Rather than modeling cars as discrete items, i.e., individual cars, in traffic flow simulations cars can be modeled as a continuous variable analogous to density in fluid flow. Further, by assuming that the flow of cars is inviscid (i.e., no damping of movement) it can be shown that congested roads can cause phantom (no obvious cause, such as an accident) traffic jams, analogous to shock waves in fluid flow.
Crowd Flow Simulation
What happens when you get millions of pilgrims showing up to visit Mecca in Saudi Arabia all at the same time? People start to behave as water does when it flows around obstacles. In fact researchers have characterized the movement of dense crowds of people as having properties analogous to:
- Laminar flow - steady, smooth progress of a crowd
- Turbulent flow - stop-start motion of a crowd
- Shock waves - rapid, involuntary movement of people within a crowd
Who knew that fluid mechanics could serve as such a broad foundation to such a diverse range of applications?

Papa And Pancho Villa
August 1970 | Volume 21, Issue 5
The ensuing blast, needless to say, was not too graciously received by the 260 bleary-eyed fédérales . They were even less gracious when ordered to remove their trousers and start marching toward the next town. Thirty rebels escorted them on horseback. Two hours later, as dawn broke over the ragged foothills, the rebel escorts abandoned the shivering, trouserless marchers on a long stretch of desert plain and galloped back to Mulato. They arrived in time for breakfast. Cheerfully attended by the grateful womenfolk of that impoverished but hospitable village, Martin's fifty men ate huge servings of tamales, huevos rancheros , hot tortillas , and frijoles refntos , after which they packed their looted rifles and ammunition on ten of the captured mules and headed back to Villa's headquarters in the city of Durango.
Shortly after their arrival there on January 1, 1914, Pancho Villa ordered Martm's men to join several other rebel contingents at Ojinaga, Chihuahua, where a large force of Carranzistas was heavily entrenched. This particular battle was the most disastrous event my father was ever to witness. Initially there were three days of furious fighting, the outnumbered rebels periodically picking and snapping at the well-fortified fédérales like packs of angry but toothless coyotes. Ojinaga was situated on a flat, barren desert that offered no chance of cover for an attacking group. Thus, in the absence of any clearly defined strategy, the rebels continued their fitful in-and-out forays, eighty men losing their lives in senseless assaults across wide-open areas murderously exposed to machine guns. Then an enemy cavalry unit closed in from the north in a lightning thrust that sandwiched 130 Villistas between two layers of firepower. Some of them tried to escape and were quickly shot down; the others prudently threw down their arms and surrendered. Brutally prodded with rifle butts, the prisoners were marched into the square and incarcerated in a local church. My father was among them, but somehow he managed to escape into a tiny corridor that led to a dark, narrow staircase winding up to the bell tower. There, alongside the belfry, he found a cracked and discarded bronze bell, and he snuggled into it like a frightened cat.
Long after nightfall (he never knew exactly when, for he had finally fallen asleep) he heard the staccato bark of machine guns somewhere beneath him, then a short silence followed by another brief volley, and then silence again. He simply could not imagine why anyone would be firing a machine gun inside a church, nor was he anxious to find out. Shifting his tired body into a reversed coil inside the bell, he soon managed to fall asleep again, and he was not fully awakened until just after dawn, when the dreamy silence was shattered by loud, angry voices from the plaza. He scrambled to his knees, shook the grogginess from his head, and then cautiously crawled across the roof toward the edge facing the square. Below him my father recognized some of the men from Martin's brigade. At first he thought they had been taken captive but then quickly noticed they were carrying arms. He bounded to his feet and raced across the roof and down the narrow stairs into the main chapel.
In his wild excitement he stumbled across two inert bodies before he realized that the floor was littered with bullet-shattered corpses, many of them grotesquely sprawled over each other in pools of drying blood. Some of the faces were mangled beyond recognition. Stunned and soon sickened by the horror all around him, he backed into the corridor, and there he felt a soft comforting hand on his shoulder. It was Cousin Marti'n, standing close to him with an unutterably sad expression in his eyes.
"How did you escape?" Marti'n asked in a near whisper. "I thought you were dead, Pepe. I was just now searching for your body. And then I saw you." My father slowly explained how he had sneaked up to the tower and slept through the awful massacre beneath him. Then Marti'n told him how the fédérales , apparently but erroneously assuming that Pancho Villa was sending a large battalion to reinforce his men at Ojinaga, had abandoned the town long before daybreak. But they had first of all murdered their 130 prisoners inside the chapel.
To my father the mass execution of Ojinaga would always represent the absolute depth of cruelty. And to Pancho Villa's men, particularly to los dorados like Marti'n, it would serve as justification for acts of equal depravity.
Yet no war is without its lighter aspects. One need not be a Hemingway to observe that between battles there might sometimes occur a moment of sexual whimsy. One such moment came to Pancho Villa late in 1915, when he fell in love with Conchita del Hierro. They had met injiménez, Chihuahua, through the auspices of her Aunt Clotilda, a person with no discernible excess of modesty. She was, in fact, an ambitious bawd, and within three days after the Division del Norte had moved out of Jiménez she sent the general a note by personal messenger telling him that her niece had been greatly impressed with his "gentility" and was most anxious to see him again. His response was characteristically immediate and expansive. Summoning Marti'n to his headquarters tent—they were now inGuadalupe, Zacatecas- he asked him to go forthwith to Jiménez and bring back Conchita and her aunt.

Rose is not in Las Vegas this week, but he's got some talented young teammates here. The Bulls are putting the most impressive team on the floor in the NBA Summer League, and it's no secret to basketball bettors.
Chicago, the top seed in the tournament, is 4-0 straight up and against the spread with an average victory margin of 22 points.
For those who might not know, summer league games are on the board at most sports books.
"It's our third year booking the games, and it's picking up steam each year," LVH oddsmaker Jeff Sherman said. "We're seeing limit bets on the side and total. The action is brisk."
The LVH's betting limits are low — $1,000 on sides and $500 on totals — and there has been no objection from the NBA.
"The summer league is here to stay, the betting aspect is here to stay, and it's a good thing for Vegas," Sherman said.
The Bulls have been the best bet on the board, running to double-digit wins in all four games.
Cameron Bairstow, a rookie second-round draft pick from New Mexico, had 18 points and eight rebounds as Chicago, a 5-point favorite, defeated Philadelphia 79-68 on Thursday night at the Thomas & Mack Center. A physical forward, Bairstow is playing his way onto the roster.
Tony Snell and Doug McDermott are the Bulls' top scorers. Snell, another former Lobos standout, was a first-round pick in 2013. McDermott, a rookie first-round pick from Creighton, produced a 31-point game this week.
The Bulls play Sacramento (3-1) at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Thomas & Mack. The New York Knicks and Washington Wizards are also 4-0. The tournament semifinals are Sunday, and the championship is 6 p.m. Monday.

Leaning Rochester!
I went to a great meetup Monday night at Roc Brew, it was a kickoff for HTR's "Lean Launchpad" program (Lean LaunchPad). It was impossible to be there and not come out excited about the opportunities for startups in the region; it was also impossible to come out of the meeting without a real mantra for what those startups should embody.
And what should those startups embody? The following 5 critical elements:
- Lean Founders;
- Lean Footprint;
- Lean Product;
- Lean Mentors; and,
- Lean Investors.
I intend to talk a great deal more about each of these in upcoming blogs; in the interim you can get a sense of where I'm going with this by looking at the graphic novel I've written (free!) on business storytelling and patenting — either at Patening: A Graphic Novel or by download from iTunes (search on Andrew Scheinman and it should come up).

Splinting to Treat Hand Osteoarthritis (SPLINTOA)

- How to Read a Study Record
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and the hand is the most frequently affected site.Interphalangeal (IP) joints (the small joints of the fingers) are often involved causing pain, progressive loss of hand function and deformity. Deviation, or bending to the side, of IP joints (IPJs) with significant functional and cosmetic consequences for the individual is common. There are no drugs which can slow the disease process so there is reliance on symptomatic treatment such as pain relief and hand therapy. Joint thermoplastic splinting (moulded plastic splints that are custom-made) is employed by hand therapists in other settings, but to the investigators knowledge no studies have formally investigated the effect of splinting in IP OA.
By resting inflamed tissues and correcting joint alignment, a beneficial role for splinting in IP OA is likely. In this study, the investigators want to test whether thermoplastic splinting of deviated IP joints due to OA will 1) improve joint alignment 2) ameliorate soft tissue inflammation, and whether as a consequence 3) pain and overall hand function will be improved.
Adults with hand OA with 'affected' IP joints (symptoms from OA associated with deviation of the joint on X-ray)will be recruited from a specialist hand osteoarthritis clinic. Initially this will be for distal IP (DIP) joints. In the intervention group (30 patients), an 'intervention' joint for splinting will be identified as the most painful deviated DIP joint in the past week leading up to enrolment. Up to 3 other 'affected' DIP joints on either hand will not be splinted but will be monitored as 'control' joints. In the control group (15 patients), an affected joint will be monitored but not splinted. Assessment of joint pain, hand function by a hand therapist, deformity (by X-ray)and joint inflammation will take place at baseline, during and at the end of splinting period of 3 months, and also at 6 months,to assess whether any changes are persistent. In this way, the efficacy of splinting of IP joints in OA will be assessed.

Since the establishment of the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) the goal has been to help women improve their situation in life. Following are a few stories from AIL's Women's Learning Centers (WLC) that exemplify the changes that AIL can make in Afghan women's lives.
When AIL student Rizagul was a young girl, her father was put in prison by the Taliban regime where he was tortured and eventually died leaving behind Rizagul as well as her young brother and her unwell, elderly mother.
Four years ago, Rizagul came to one of AIL's rural WLC's in Herat province and began taking various classes, including literacy and sewing. After two years at the center, she was able to gain admission to a regular school at grade level 4, a feat which might have taken 4 years in a regular school, if it happened at all. Even after gaining admission to the regular school, Rizagul continued to take extra courses after school at the center. Unfortunately, the center was closed due to the poor security situation in the region and Rizagul could no longer take the extra courses she had come to enjoy.
A short time ago, an AIL teacher saw Rizagul at a wedding ceremony in their village. Rizagul could not control her emotions and tears rolled down her cheeks as she told her teacher, "You and AIL were the best thing for me, and I will never, never forget your encouragement and all of the hard work that you did for me." She added, "I can now read in Arabic, I know how to sew and I am a student in grade 6. What I am is because of the AIL center."
She also said that she is sewing dresses to make money for her family and that she has so much business that she has to turn some people away. She is making a good living, and is able to improve her family's economic situation with her sewing skills.
Rizagul also told the teacher, "With the advice that the center supervisor wrote in my 'memory notebook' (try to learn, work hard for a better future and pray for your future) I am sure that I will go toward a better future."
Following is the story of Jamila, a literacy student in the 7th grade. Jamila attends one of AIL's centers in northern Pakistan that services many refugees from rural areas in eastern Afghanistan where women are generally not educated. This center grew out of a girl's school that was established in 1996 – 1997. In 2002, it was clear that the students from the girls' school needed a place to continue their education and a Women's Learning Center was established there. One should also take note of the fact that Jamila is currently in the 7th grade, but has not been in school 7 years. Her story is one of hard work and a determination to become educated.
"I am very happy, I can't believe that I am in the 7th class and all because of AIL. My family and I are very thankful for Prof. Sakena Yacoobi, the Executive Director of AIL for providing this opportunity for us. My father is a wrathful person and he didn't want me to go to school and learn things. I was very sad, and day by day I grew older and could not go to school. Last year we changed our home. Some of our neighbors near our home told us about a women's learning center provided by AIL for women and girls. Once again, I requested that my father give me permission to join this center. After many requests, when my father heard that this center was for women, he accepted and I joined this center. Now I am in the 7th class and every night I help my father with his shop finances. I am very happy that I can help solve my family problems, and now my father is also very happy. I always pray for Prof. Sakena Yacoobi and the AIL staff."

Last updated June 6
This year's ride will be the culmination of a partnership between Different Spokes San Francisco, Project Inform and a group of like-minded AIDS/LifeCycle riders including The Dollys. This ride takes place over the weekend of September 12 and 13th and takes a beautiful, at times challenging, 100 mile route from Sports Basement Sunnyvale to Marina (Monterey Bay). This grassroots fundraiser asks that participants raise at least $300 (and hopefully more!) for the lifesaving work of Project Inform (www.projectinform.org). It is a supported ride in that one's bags are carried, there are sweep vehicles, rest stops where you can get water, sports drinks, snacks from amazing volunteers but use the facilities of a Starbucks or other commercial entity. What makes it different than a ride like ALC is that we ask that you buy the lunch of your choice on the route and you pay for your hotel room in order to maximize the fundraising for Project Inform. Sound like a great time while strengthening the community and reducing the negative effects of HIV? Join us in the active fun!
Do I have to be a member of Different Spokes San Francisco to participate in DBD?
No, but anyone who wants to can join DSSF here.
Is there a rider limit?
Yes. The event is limited to a maximum of 50 riders. Sign up before it fills up. Instructions for registering here.
What is the fundraising minimum?
The fundraising minimum is $300 but we are hoping that each rider sets their goal as $1000 so that we can reach a goal of $50,000 for this ride! That is huge for an organization of our size! By 5 p.m. on Thursday, September 10 each rider should have at least $300 credited to their account in order to ride. If you're still short at that point, you can donate the remainder yourself, but you will not be reimbursed if additional donations come in later. Because corporate matching donations can take several months to process, these might not be reflected in your Day 0 total, but we cannot count uncredited matches toward your Day 0 total unless you provide us with your paperwork.
Are volunteers required to register and fundraise?
No; there is no cost for non-riding volunteers to participate, other than the supplies you bring (including gas) and your own meals and lodging. If you wish to fundraise as a volunteer, you can register via the registration link but please let Philip (415-580-7304 or firstname.lastname@example.com) know that you plan to be a volunteer and not a cyclist so that we don't count you toward the 50-rider limit.
I want to volunteer. Where do I sign up?
Please contact Emily at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can tell us what you're interested in doing to be part of the event. The most common volunteer roles are SAG driver (including caboose), rest stop volunteer, and bike tech, although we're open to any other good ideas that you might have.
What's the weather going to be like?
Weather in Northern and Central California can be especially fickle, and we will be traveling through many of the region's microclimates. Almost anything is possible, ranging from chilly drizzle at the coast and in the mountains to dry heat inland. Winds are generally out of the north or northwest, which usually helps us on Day 1 and slows us down on Day 2. Coastal fog is common. Be advised that every year of the event so far has featured unexpected weather (heat, cold, wind, rain) of some type at some point during the weekend but the fact that the ride is earlier this year might mitigate against that.
Where do I stay at the end of Day 1?
Day 1 officially ends at the Ramada Marina in Marina. You are responsible for booking your own room and, if you wish to share your room with someone else, making your own roommate arrangements. You are also free to stay elsewhere; the Holiday Inn Express and Motel 6 are within easy walking/cycling distance. Also, you can choose to return home for the night -- but, if you do so, make sure you are back in Marina before our 6:45 a.m. meet time on Day 2. Be sure to book your room as early as possible because the Monterey coast is a popular weekend destination!
What do I do with my bike at the end of Day 1?
You take it with you to your room, or back home if you're not staying in Marina. If your bike becomes especially dirty during the day, please clean it before taking it into your hotel room, and please do any necessary maintenance outside so that the hotels are pleased to see us next year!
Where do I eat at the end of Day 1?
As in past years, ad hoc groups of riders and volunteers probably will form to go to specific restaurants. Denny's is within walking distance of the event hotels, but most of the other restaurants in Marina will require either a long walk or a short ride. If you require any other supplies, 7-Eleven and a large Walmart are located within walking distance of the event hotels.
How much can I pack?
There is no weight limit, but please limit your packed belongings to one small bag, preferably backpack-size. Because we are staying in hotels, you do not need any items other than something to wear to dinner, your Day 2 cycling apparel, any special nutrition that you use, toiletries, medications, a couple of spare tubes, bike lights if you plan on riding into town, and any specialized (not the brand necessarily, just anything particular!) bike products not easily found in a tiny town. Our space to transport bags is limited, and with a full ride expected, we need to transport as many bags as possible in a small space. Please label your bag so you can find it easily.
What if I can't finish a day in time?
We will have SAG vehicles on the route that can transport you to the end of Day 1 or Day 2. Depending on the demand for SAG services, there might be a delay before you can be retrieved. You can choose to call someone else to pick you up -- but if you do, you must notify a DBD official so that we are aware of your situation.
Can I ride after sunset?
Sorry, no, not even with proper lighting. The route closes at 6:30 p.m. sharp each day. If you are still on the route at sunset, you must stop and wait for a SAG vehicle to retrieve you. We have rest stop closing times throughout the day that will be enforced to help you finish each day in time. If you choose to ride around Marina on your own after sunset, legal lighting is required.
Can I get a ride to skip part of the route?
Possibly. If SAG vehicles are not being used for anything more urgent, they might be able to give you a lift if you are running behind schedule.
What types of support will be available?
We will have several volunteer SAG drivers stationed along the route and at most rest stops. Most will have basic supplies such as water, ice, light snacks, and some basic bicycle equipment such as a floor pump and extra tubes. You are responsible, however, for obtaining and paying for your meals and snacks along the route and at the end of Day 1. In some cases, the SAG vehicle can transport you to a nearby location if you are unable to continue riding. Please note, however, that the SAG vehicles are not a personal taxi service, and if you decide to leave the event, it is your responsibility to get transportation for you and your bicycle back to Sunnyvale or other location. Depending on volunteer availability, we might have one or more bike technicians available for at least part of the weekend. Please respect and thank our volunteers who are donating their time and supplies and are helping make your ride a success.
What happens on ride morning?
You will bring your bike, spare tubes, snacks, gear, full water bottles, shoes, helmet, gloves, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. to Sports Basement Sunnyvale. Use a carpool if possible. You should plan to arrive at the meeting place in Sunnyvale (near US 101 and Lawrence Expressway) by 6 AM so that you have plenty of time to unload your bike and gear, check in, attend a safety training/route overview, and get route sheets. We will ride out as a group at 7 AM sharp. If you arrive late and still plan to be part of the event, please call event dispatch to let them know that you are still on the event.
Where do I park during the event?
Sports Basement Sunnyvale is providing us with free parking for the duration of the event. Please make sure that you park BEHIND the building (on the Lawrence Expressway side) as that is the space they have allotted for us. This is an open parking lot so just to be safe, don't leave anything valuable, especially in plain sight, in your vehicle.
Are toilets available at Sports Basement and along the route?
Project Inform is springing for a porta-toilet in the parking lot, but in case of a line, you might want to take care of things at any of the nearly gas stations or McDonald's. Like ALC, we encourage riders to use only facilities like porta-toilets and regular restrooms. Most of the rest stops coincide with businesses where we might use the facilities, so that shouldn't be difficult.
Will we ride if it's raining?
Probably yes. We will cancel a day of the ride only if there are severe conditions that pose an imminent danger to riders and volunteers.
What's the route?
Here are the route sheets you will receive on each morning of the ride:
Day 1 | Day 2
For riders with GPS devices, here are links to the preliminary (and subject to change) RideWithGPS routes for each day of DBD5. A couple of caveats: Navigation around our rest stops is not precisely spelled out, so you still need a printed route sheet; and the route is still subject to last-minute changes that might not get reflected in these files.
Day 1 | Day 2
How much of the route duplicates AIDS/LifeCycle?
This year, hardly any. The exact numbers are subject to change, but we estimate that Day 1 of DBD will overlap about 1 mile of the ALC Day 2 route around Aptos and about 4 miles heading into Marina, and DBD Day 2 will overlap about 8 miles of the ALC Day 2 route between Marina and Salinas. Even if you're a veteran ALCer, you'll get to see plenty of new territory!
What rules of the road do we follow?
Although we are not AIDS/LifeCycle, we completely follow the ALC Code of Conduct and Safety Guidelines. Specifically, we stop at all stop signs and red signals, we ride single-file at all times, and we do not do pacelines. Please help us set a good example in the areas through which we ride.
Is the route marked?
No; there are no pavement arrows, signs, or other markings. You will need to refer to your route sheet frequently during the ride; consider a map holder or binder clips. On some parts of the route, you will see pavement arrows of various colors and styles; these are for other events to other destinations, and you should not follow them. Navigation is as much a part of the event as is pedaling!
Will we encounter other events along the route?
Unknown at this point but we will keep participants aware as things develop.
How fast do I need to ride?
This ride is designed for riders who can maintain an average pace of at least 12 mph on flat to rolling terrain. We love all cyclists, but the 12 mph pace is necessary to complete each day's route before sunset.
Are hotels available near the meeting location?
If you are coming from far outside Sunnyvale, you might want to consider getting a hotel for the night before the ride, so that you can arrive on time. Several hotels are available in a variety of price ranges within five minutes of Sports Basement Sunnyvale; any of the online booking services can steer you in the proper direction.
Can I transfer my DBD registration to someone else?
No. If you are unable to ride in DBD for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible. If we reach our 50-rider limit, we will maintain a waiting list, and we will contact the person at the top of the list. That person must register and fulfill their own $300 fundraising minimum before September 10.
Who is the DBD staff?
DBD is fully volunteer-run with minimal help from Project Inform staff so please be patient if we don't answer your question or resolve your issue right away. Project Inform processes DBD registrations and handles fundraising through Everyday Hero. Questions? Contact Emily Mariko-Sanders at email@example.com or 415-580-7306.

DBD4 ride report
With a new route, the fourth Double Bay Double has gone into the history books as another successful event. Our 12 riders and and seven volunteers made it all the way from Sunnyvale to Marina and back without any significant incidents, and we have so far raised more than $10,400 to support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
In fact, after having unpleasant weather surprises in every previous DBD, we were extremely fortunate this year that temperatures were moderate throughout the weekend and (sadly for the state's drought) the most precipitation we faced was just a few scattered sprinkles on part of Day 2.
You can read the ride director's full report here.

DBD3 ride report
The third Double Bay Double is successfully into the history books! Our 20 riders and 16 volunteers have raised more than $15,000 (so far) for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and everyone ended the ride safely. Our weekend was full of fun, surprises ... and some epic challenges.

DBD2 is history
The second Double Bay Double is in the history books, and we had a weekend that provided challenging cycling, great company, an important cause, and countless displays of the human condition at its best.
Our group of 21 riders and 18 volunteers worked together over 210 miles and more than 9,000 feet of climbing to raise more than$17,000 (update: $20,600 as of March 15, 2013) for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation ... and because everyone gave freely of their time and money, there was no event overhead to the foundation, meaning that every dollar we raised is on its way to providing important services.

DBD1 is history!
The first Double Bay Double is a success!
All of our riders successfully completed the 208-mile route (plus, for a few riders, some bonus miles) from Mountain View to Marina and back in just two days. When the final accounting is in, we expect to have raised about $10,000 (with no event overhead) for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
A full ride report is available here.
Congratulations to all of the riders, and giant thanks to all of the volunteers who made this memorable weekend possible.

Cold case, but not forgotten
Clues still being sought in death of college teen more than 36 years ago
Published 12:00 am, Monday, January 3, 2011
COBLESKILL -- The life of Katherine Kolodziej is divided into three cardboard boxes.
Her last name is written on each in black marker. Two are at the State Police barracks in Rotterdam, the other at their station in Cobleskill.
Inside are photos of the 17-year-old blonde, blue-eyed Long Island native smiling for her class picture, along with her public records and letters she received from her mother.
So is Kolodziej's autopsy report, thousands of leads and interviews relating to her brutal murder and crime scene photographs of her body laid out on a stone wall in a field in Richmondville in November 1974.
Kolodziej's parents have been dead for several years. She was an only child.
The only calls police receive about the status of her case are twice-yearly inquiries from a former college classmate of Kolodziej's who lives in Florida.
If the State Police were to stop investigating Kolodziej's death tomorrow, it's likely not many would notice. But two law officers -- a veteran State Police investigator and the only still-active police officer who worked the case when Kolodziej died -- are renewing the hunt for her killer.
"I still think this case can be solved," State Police Investigator Tom Cioffi says, "I really do."
Around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 2, 1974, Kolodziej left The Vault, a popular college bar on the corner of Grand Street and Main Street in Cobleskill, to make the one-mile walk back to campus alone. She was never seen alive again. Her body was found 26 days later on Thanksgiving, barefoot and naked from the waist down and carefully placed on a stone wall in the hills of nearby Richmondville.
She had been stabbed in the back seven times with two different weapons.
The investigation into Kolodziej's murder has now lasted more than twice as long as her life.
Cioffi, a State Police investigator for 10 years, was given her case two months ago after the officer who was handling it stepped down.
A Schoharie County native, Cioffi remembers the Kolodziej case from his days at Richmondville High School.
Cioffi recently collaborated with the only remaining active police officer from day one of the investigation, Schoharie County Sheriff Anthony Desmond.
"All law enforcement officers have one case that stands out in their career, which they want solved. The Kolodziej case is mine," Desmond says.
Next week, Cioffi and Desmond will appear on a local talk radio show to discuss the case for the second time in three months.
Desmond still talks about the case with old colleagues, swapping theories about suspects and motives as if it were that day in the fall of 1974 when her body was found.
While Desmond and the State Police were forming a search party in the area, a group of hunters approached them and said they had found a blue woman's shoe on the side of McDonald Road in Richmondville.
Police found another shoe up the road, and then discovered Kolodziej's body about 100 yards away.
Investigators interviewed the entire SUNY Cobleskill student body. They also talked to Volkswagen Beetle owners in the area -- somebody reported seeing someone matching Kolodziej's description getting into a yellow one after she left the bar -- and anybody who had a connection to the murder of any young woman in the Northeast.
Convicted serial killers Theodore "Ted" Bundy and Lewis Lent were questioned about the case.
Donald Sigsbee and John William Hopkins, both of whom were convicted in the murders of young women in central New York, were considered prime suspects. Police could never tie either of them to the area at the time of the murder.
"It's one of those cases where everybody who's investigated it'' has their own top suspect, Cioffi said.
Cioffi says State Police still receive about a half dozen tips a year. He would like to be able to retrace her last steps, but all investigators know is that she left the bar alone and may have gotten into the Volkswagen.
Kolodziej would be 53 years old today. She was just two months into her first semester of college when she was killed.
Police say her killer, if alive, is now likely 50 to 70 years old.
Ask people in the town about the Kolodziej case and some of them remember hearing something about a young college student found murdered in the woods decades ago.
But most of them shake their heads, having forgotten about it long ago.
"I still hope that somebody, sometime, somewhere will come up and say 'I've lived with this as long as I can and I can't take it anymore,'" Desmond says.
Homes have replaced many acres of forest in the hills of Richmondville since Kolodziej's death.
The stone wall where her killer carefully placed her on her back is still intact, surrounded by brush that has slowly thickened over the years.
"At some point, no one may remember," Desmond said.
