HUNTINGDON, Pa. (AP) – A coroner says the death of a central Pennsylvania infant is a homicide, though state police have yet to charge anyone in the case.
Huntingdon County Deputy Coroner Timothy Skippers says the boy died of trauma to the abdomen, which resulted in a major blood loss.
Six-week-old Andrew Konner Boyd, of Smithfield Township, was found dead July 14 in his bassinet by his mother.
Authorities say the woman had left the boy with a sitter the night before, fed him after she returned home about 3 a.m. and found him dead later that afternoon.
County District Attorney George Zanic has declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
Boy Run Over By Mom's Parked Car
GLENSIDE, Pa. (AP) – Police say a 6-year-old suburban Philadelphia boy is dead after his mother's parked car ran over him in the family's driveway.
The accident happened shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday in the suburb of Glenside.
Deputy Chief John Livingood says the boy's mother and several of his siblings had just returned home, and the mother had parked the car and taken the key out of the ignition.
Livingood says the mother had unloaded the boy and several other children when the vehicle inexplicably rolled backward on the steeply sloped driveway.
The boy was pronounced dead at Abington Memorial Hospital a short time later.
Police haven't released the name of the family.

NEW BEDFORD — A coalition of temporary workers and community supporters toured the state Wednesday in celebration of enactment of a law that temp worker Juana Garcia said would help them "come out of the darkness and into the light."
NEW BEDFORD — A coalition of temporary workers and community supporters toured the state Wednesday in celebration of enactment of a law that temp worker Juana Garcia said would help them "come out of the darkness and into the light."
In the past, many temp agencies "have treated workers very badly and not behaved themselves," said Adrian Ventura, director of the Centro Comunitario de Trabajadores (CCT) or Workers Community Center in the South End. The Spanish words that he and others spoke during a press conference were translated into English by an interpreter.
The workers were hailing the state's Temporary Workers Right to Know law, signed by the governor last summer but which took effect Wednesday. The law requires temp agencies to disclose the names of employers, the nature and condition of work and rates of pay before sending workers out.
Ventura spoke from behind a podium fronted by blow-ups of the forms — in both English and Spanish — that agencies will be required to fill out before sending workers off to temporary employment.
"Here in New Bedford, we've had a lot of exploitation," Ventura said. "We're here today to let agencies know that this law is going to be enforced."
Although he offered no details, Carlos Dubon talked of 11 years of what he described as mistreatment and exploitation by temp agencies.
Citing EDA Staffing, a temporary employment agency based in Chelsea that signed an agreement with CCT a year ago to aid immigrant workers in New Bedford, Ventura said "We're looking for other labor companies to do the right thing."
Seated in the crowd of about 75 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish at St. James Church were Jose Avila and Lucio Avila (not related), EDA's general manager and New Bedford Division manager, respectively, who said they've lived the lives of many immigrants in the room.
"My concern is about people," Jose Avila said. "That's the most important thing. I went through everything these people went through."
"We both have," said Lucio Avila, who explained how they both, coincidentally, had immigrated from the Azorean island of Terceira.
Temporary agencies supply most of the labor in the fish processing and recycling industries locally, with the majority being immigrants. In recent years, many of the workers have told The Standard-Times of being forced to work in unsafe conditions and not getting paid for overtime work.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Disregarding heated American protests, Afghanistan released 65 accused militants from a former U.S. prison on Thursday, despite warnings that the men are dangerous Taliban fighters and bomb-makers likely to return to killing foreign forces and Afghans.
The freeing of the men from the Parwan Detention Center further strains relations between Washington and President Hamid Karzai. The Afghan leader's increasingly anti-American rhetoric and refusal to sign a long-negotiated bilateral security deal has heightened uncertainty ahead of the year-end withdrawal of most international combat troops.
Outrage over Karzai's decision also mirrors the mistrust and resentment that has developed between the ostensible allies in recent years. The souring of sentiment has often played out in a tug-of-war over control of the detention facility near the American military's Bagram Air Field, about 45 kilometers (28 miles) north of Kabul.
Karzai reacted sharply to the strong U.S. and NATO criticism over the releases, saying it was not up to foreign powers to determine Afghan justice.
"Afghanistan is a sovereign country. If Afghanistan judiciary authorities decide to release prisoners, it is of no concern to the United States," Karzai said at the end of a summit with Pakistani and Turkish leaders in the Turkish capital, Ankara.
Thursday's move could be a gesture by Karzai to try to woo the Taliban insurgents into joining peace talks with his government before he leaves office later this year, since he is unable to serve a third term.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen strongly condemned the release.
"This decision, which appears to have been made based on political calculations and without regard for due process before the Afghan courts, is a major step backward for the rule of law in Afghanistan and poses serious security concerns," Rasmussen said in a statement.
For the U.S., the release of the men the American military calls "dangerous insurgents who have Afghan blood on their hands" is another sign of Karzai's erratic behavior and the weakness of Afghanistan's justice system. A military spokesman said many of the 65 were captured after Afghan authorities took over the prison last March, and dossiers of evidence had been handed over to try them in Afghan courts.
For Karzai, the very existence of a U.S.-run prison on Afghan soil — where hundreds of other prisoners were held without charge as enemy combatants starting in 2002 — had long been a symbol of American arrogance and disregard for his elected government.
Karzai has referred to the Parwan prison as a "Taliban-producing factory," where innocent Afghans have been tortured into hating their country. He called it a "very big step regarding the sovereignty of Afghanistan" when the prison was finally handed over to Afghan control.
Karzai, who ordered the 65 detainees released several weeks ago, insisted Thursday that the decision was made by the Afghan judiciary after a thorough review.
The men were freed just after 9 a.m. and boarded a bus to leave the facility, laughing and smiling, according to prison spokesman Maj. Nimatullah Khaki.
Among those believed to have walked free is Mohammad Wali, who the U.S. military says is a suspected Taliban explosives expert who allegedly planted roadside bombs targeting Afghan and international forces. Also believed released is Nek Mohammad — who the U.S. says was captured with extensive weapons — and a man identified as Ehsanullah, who is claimed to have been biometrically matched to a roadside bomb.
The U.S. military said Thursday that some of those set free were directly linked to attacks that have killed or wounded 32 U.S. or coalition personnel and 23 Afghan security personnel or civilians. A statement from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul also condemned the release.
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi would not comment on the U.S concerns.
"Our responsibility is the protection of the prisoners. That is all," Azimi said by telephone.
Some Afghans who live near the Parwan prison expressed unease over the release.
"I think they will return back to their people, to the Taliban," said Ahmad Shayeq, whose home is near the facility.
The U.S. military had formally disputed the prisoners' release and asked that they be tried in Afghan courts, but an Afghan review board had overruled those challenges.
The detainees' release comes as Karzai has taken an increasingly hostile tone toward the U.S. and amid reports that the president has been trying to open his own peace negotiations with the Taliban as a potential legacy. Karzai is constitutionally ineligible to serve a third term, and elections to choose his successor are scheduled for April 5.
"I believe this is politically motivated," said Hamidullah Farooqi, a professor at Kabul University. "He wants to send some sort of sign to the Taliban that they are ready for any steps to create an atmosphere for peace talks. … At the same time, he does also want to display for his legacy Afghanistan's sovereignty."
The president has refused to sign a bilateral security agreement that would allow a few thousand U.S. troops to remain in Afghanistan past this year, largely to help train Afghan security forces to take over the fight against the Taliban 13 years after the military intervention in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the U.S. The NATO-backed coalition toppled the Taliban regime for sheltering the al-Qaida leadership behind the U.S. attacks.
Several attempts to end the war through peace talks have fallen through, but Taliban figures recently confirmed preliminary discussions with Karzai's envoys, though the talks appear to have gone nowhere.
Associated Press writers Suzan Fraser in Ankara, and Amir Shah and Cassandra Vinograd in Kabul contributed to this report.

Latecomers Puig, Myers make another big rookie year
The 2012 rookie class, led by Mike Trout and Bryce Harper, was off the charts, so the fairly universal reaction was that we wouldn't see freshmen like those for years to come.
Then along came Yasiel Puig, the Cuban Comet.
The 2012 rookie class, led by Mike Trout and Bryce Harper, was off the charts, so the fairly universal reaction was that we wouldn't see freshmen like those for years to come.
Then along came Yasiel Puig, the Cuban Comet.
While Puig has astonished fans from the day he arrived at Dodger Stadium -- producing a game-ending double play with a stunning throw from the warning track to first base in his June 3 Major League debut -- the Dodgers' sensational outfielder has not been alone.
The Rays' Wil Myers, arriving on the scene 15 days after Puig, has emerged as an all-around player in the same mold. Five-tool talents are rare, but Myers and Puig fill the bill nicely with their game-breaking abilities.
Puig is hitting .371 with 11 homers and 27 RBIs while scoring 45 runs in 61 games. Myers is batting .325 with eight homers and 31 RBIs in 44 games, scoring 26 runs. Defensively, both have produced highlight-reel plays and saved their pitching staffs runs.
While the results are similar, Puig and Myers bring totally different personalities into play. Puig is explosive and creative, testing the limits of his remarkable gifts -- and manager Don Mattingly's patience -- with his reckless abandon.
Myers is more controlled emotionally but no less impressive in his ability to rise to the moment, hitting .349 with runners in scoring position, compared to Puig's .310.
"He's kind of sophisticated in his knowledge regarding at-bats and game situations," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said of Myers. "His baseball acumen is actually very high. He has a lot of good stuff going on up there. He has good thoughts and he sees things on the baseball field. That's why he's so good."
Myers' teammates have been impressed with his adaptability. Like Puig, he has handled right and center field and hit in a variety of spots in the order.
"He has a short memory," Rays designated hitter Luke Scott said of Myers. "He's in his own little world and he's able to forget things really quickly, which is great. If you could put that in a glass and sell it, I would buy it and drink it."
Puig also has shown the ability to learn and adjust on the fly. No longer does he swing wildly at anything close to the plate, dramatically improving his discipline and strikeout-to-walk ratio.
"He's making adjustments," Mattingly said. "It's a cat-and-mouse game all the time with the guys like him. You're going to see pitchers try things. If it works, they're going to keep trying it. If it doesn't work, they'll try something else."
The question of the moment is whether the two 22-year-old outfielders will follow in the footsteps of Trout and Harper in claiming the Rookie of the Year awards in their respective leagues. Their late starts could influence Baseball Writers' Association of America voters, moving them other directions.
Even though Puig appears to be the stronger of the two candidates, his road to the award is more crowded with obstacles.
This 2013 rookie class is deep and talent-rich, with its primary strength on the mound. The lion's share of that talent is found in the National League, giving Puig considerable competition in his bid to succeed Harper.
Along with Puig's teammate, Hyun-Jin Ryu, the Marlins' Jose Fernandez, the Cardinals' Shelby Miller and the Braves' Julio Teheran are enjoying seasons warranting serious NL Rookie of the Year Award consideration. The Pirates' Gerrit Cole (5-5, 3.95 ERA) has a lot of ground to make up but could thrust his way into the conversation with a big finish.
Overshadowed by the spectacular Puig, Ryu has been consistently superb, going 11-3 with a 2.99 ERA. The Korean import leads the pack in wins along with Miller, while Fernandez (8-5) owns the best ERA (2.58) and lowest opponents' batting average (.193). Not to be overlooked is a group of quality NL relievers, including yet another Dodger, Paco Rodriguez. The lefty owns a 2.09 ERA in 55 appearances, holding hitters to a .148 batting average. With 15 holds, Rodriguez is second to the Cards' Trevor Rosenthal among rookies. Rosenthal has 25, one behind NL leader Mark Melancon of the Pirates. The Brewers' Jim Henderson has 16 saves in 19 chances and a 1.88 ERA, limiting hitters to a .183 average. Justin Wilson has been lights-out for the Pirates, going 6-1 with 10 holds, a 2.10 ERA and a .193 opponents' batting average.
Among NL position players, the Braves' Evan Gattis made an early splash with his power and leads all rookies with 15 homers and 47 RBIs, slugging .500. The Cards' Matt Adams is coming on, hitting .281 with a .486 slugging percentage.
Myers' chief competition could come from inside his own clubhouse. Tampa Bay's Chris Archer was the American League Pitcher of the Month for July, lifting his record to 6-4 with a 2.71 ERA and a .204 batting average yielded.
Like fellow North Carolina native Myers, Archer got a late start. He made his season debut on June 1, kicking into gear with a brilliant July (4-0, 0.73 ERA). The hard-throwing right-hander left his most recent start on Wednesday in Arizona with forearm tightness after getting five outs, but it is not considered serious.
Dan Straily (6-6, 4.19 ERA) has given the A's consistent innings in their AL West race with the Rangers. Making a late push following a spring injury, the Rangers' Martin Perez is 5-3 with a 3.44 ERA since settling into the rotation on June 22. He has allowed just four earned runs in his past 22 2/3 innings.
Another prominent AL Rookie of the Year Award candidate is Jose Iglesias, the Tigers' shortstop with Jhonny Peralta suspended for the balance of the season. Iglesias began the season hitting in Ted Williams territory for the Red Sox. Dealt to Detroit, Iglesias is humming along at .324 at the moment. But it's his defense and intuitive nature that have had his new club raving since the 23-year-old athlete was acquired from Boston in the July 30 three-team swap also involving the White Sox.
"I can tell you in the short period of time [around him] what he is: He is a very bright young man, very smart and very baseball smart," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said, "and very street smart. Very impressive. I really like him a lot."
David Lough (.303) has been a weapon for the surging Royals. Oswaldlo Arcia has flexed his muscles for the Twins with a .452 slugging percentage, while J.B. Shuck has given the Angels production, hitting .288, in the absence of injured Peter Bourjos.
It is unlikely there will be a unanimous Rookie of the Year Award winner this year along the lines of Trout, who set the bar at an unrealistic location with his historic 2012 campaign and is performing at an even higher level as a sophomore.
Lined up behind the Angels' superstar in the balloting were Yoenis Cespedes of the A's, the Rangers' Yu Darvish, Wei-Yin Chen of the Orioles and Jarrod Parker of the A's.
Harper prevailed in the NL by drawing 16 of 32 first-place votes. The Nationals' star was followed by D-backs lefty Wade Miley, the Reds' Todd Frazier and the Rockies' Wilin Rosario in the balloting.
Among those who didn't perform enough to draw support in the rookie voting were such emerging stars as Jean Segura and Matt Carpenter and pitchers Matt Harvey, Patrick Corbin, Hisashi Iwakuma and Matt Moore.
Like the big fish, Trout, the class of 2012 set a gold standard for all future rookies.

Earth : North America : United States of America : Mid-Atlantic : Pennsylvania : Philadelphia Region : Bucks County : Bensalem
Bensalem is a city in Pennsylvania.
Bensalem, Pennsylvania is a residential suburb conveniently located next to the bustling metropolis of Philadelphia. It connects to the city at it's northeastern point of the city. However, just because it's residential, don't assume that it's only houses and fast food chains. There are a few interesting gems nearby without even entering Philadelphia.
Bensalem is also a perfect place to stay if you want to avoid the hustle, bustle and high prices of the inner city. Buses and trains are available nearby, as well as an accessible car rental service.
Get in
Get around
Getting around Bensalem and Northeast Philadelphia is a bit more difficult than Center City: there are no subways or local train systems throughout Bensalem.
However, there is a SEPTA trainstation located at 700 Station Avenue, Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania 19020; which is nearby to Bristol Pike in the Bensalem Township area. Cornwell's Heights is one of the largest Park&Ride train facilities in the Philadelphia Area. The Trenton Line Regional Rail, the train which passes through Cornwell's Heights, takes you to all of the major stops in Philadelphia, within walking distance of many major attractions in the inner city. Taking the train is less stressful and cheaper than driving in the inner city.
For train rides and ticket costs, please refer to the SEPTA Regional Rail website. [3]

IN RE YASMIN AND YAZ (DROSPIRENONE)) MARKETING, SALES PRACTICES AND PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATIONTHIS DOCUMENT RELATES TO:GARDNERv.BAYER CORP., ET AL.HORNBYv.BAYER CORP., ET AL.LABELLEv.BAYER CORP., ET AL.LODATOv.BAYER CORP., ET AL.MCMILLANv.BAYER CORP., ET AL.MYERSv.BAYER CORP., ET AL.BRITTv.BAYER HEALTHCARE PHARMS., INC., ET AL.MCGAHAv.BAYER CORP., ET AL.PATTONv.BAYER HEALTHCARE PHARMS., INC., ET AL.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Herndon, Chief Judge
MDL No. 2100
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s ("Bayer") motion, pursuant to Case Management Order 12 ("CMO 12"), for an Order dismissing Plaintiffs' claims in the above-captioned matters without prejudice for failure to comply with their Plaintiff Fact Sheet ("PFS") obligations.*fn1 Bayer contends that the Plaintiffs in the above-captioned matters have not served substantially complete PFSs and are therefore delinquent pursuant to CMO 12.
Under Section E of CMO 12, Plaintiffs were given 14 days from the date of Defendant's motion*fn2 to file a response either certifying that they served upon Defendants and Defendants received a completed PFS, and attaching appropriate documentation of receipt or an opposition to Defendant's motion.
Only one Plaintiff in the above-captioned member actions timely filed a response to Bayer's motion to dismiss pursuant to CMO 12. Plaintiff Megan Britt (member action number 3:10-cv-10399) filed a response certifying that she had corrected the deficiencies in her PFS and that the necessary documents had been served upon Bayer (Britt Doc. 13).
The Plaintiffs in the remaining member actions have failed to file any response to Bayer's motion to dismiss. Because the remaining Plaintiffs have failed to respond, in any way, to Bayer's allegations that the submitted PFSs are not substantially complete, the Court finds that the remaining Plaintiffs in the above-captioned member actions have failed to comply with the requirements of CMO 12.
Accordingly, the Court hereby Orders as follows:
1. The motion to dismiss filed in Britt v. Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, et al. No. 3:10-cv-10399-DRH-PMF is DENIED as MOOT.
2. The following member actions are dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with the requirements of CMO 12:
Gardner v. Bayer Corp., et al. No. 3:10-cv-10034-DRH-PMF Hornby v. Bayer Corp., et al. No. 3:10-cv-10105-DRH-PMF LaBelle v. Bayer Corp., et al. No. 3:09-cv-10088-DRH-PMF Lodato v. Bayer Corp., et al. No. 3:10-cv-10131-DRH-PMF McMillan v. Bayer Corp., et al. No. 3:10-cv-10048-DRH-PMF Myers v. Bayer Corp., et al. No. 3:10-cv-10020-DRH-PMF McGaha v. Bayer Corp., et al. No. 3:10-cv-20222-DRH-PMF Patton v. Bayer HealthCare Pharms., Inc., et al. No. 3:10-cv-10267-DRH-PMF
Further, the Court reminds Plaintiffs that, pursuant to CMO 12 Section E, unless Plaintiffs serve Defendants with a completed PFS or move to vacate the dismissal without prejudice within 60 days after entry of this Order, the Order will be converted to a Dismissal With Prejudice upon Defendants' motion.

The 2010 champions have dealt with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses including genetic diseases, heart transplants and traumas, as well as life-threatening staph infections.
As part of Champions presented by Walmart and Sam's Club, the champions travel for a week in June to Washington, D.C., where champions traditionally meet with their state senators on Capitol Hill, and the President of the United States during a visit to the White House. The family then travels to Orlando, Fla., for a second week in November. There, champions meet Children's Miracle Network sponsor, hospital and media partners who all convene to celebrate a year of medical miracles during the Children's Miracle Network Celebration event at Walt Disney World Resort.

This was originally posted over at Suture for a Living on January 2, 2009
I started this quilt more than 15 years ago. I used some cottons, linen, silk, and rayons. Many from dresses I had made. It was meant to be a wall hanging of the four seasons.
I got impatient. I put the backing, batting, and top together before all the embroidery work was done. I then embroidered through all layers, as you can see from this back photo.
Here is the corresponding block from the front.
I wasn't happy with how it was progressing and did not like the back. The project got put aside, waded up in a bag in the closet. Just before Christmas I pulled it out and took another look at it. I decided to just do what needed to be done. I began taking it apart, carefully, so that I wouldn't ruin any of the individual blocks.
At this point all the quilt top has been separated from the batting and backing. The blocks have been separated from the sashing. The sashing and border strips were discarded. If you look closely in the upper photo, you can see were they are quite square and pull (or tether) inward. So now begins the reconstruction process.

Charles Durning, a two-time Oscar nominee dubbed the king of the character actors for his skill in playing everything from a Nazi colonel to the pope, has died Monday at his home in New York City. He was 89.
Durning died on Monday of natural causes in his home in the borough of Manhattan, his longtime agent and friend Judith Moss told The Associated Press.
Although he portrayed everyone from blustery public officials to comic foils to put-upon everymen, Durning may be best remembered by movie audiences for his Oscar-nominated, over-the-top role as a comically corrupt governor in the 1982 film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Many critics marvelled that such a heavyset man could be so nimble in the film's show-stopping song-and-dance number, not realising that Durning had been a dance instructor early in his career. He had met his first wife, Carol, when both worked at a dance studio.
The year after Best Little Whorehouse, Durning received another Oscar nomination, for his portrayal of a bumbling Nazi officer in the Mel Brooks classic To Be or Not to Be. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe as the harried police lieutenant in the 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon.
He won a Golden Globe as best supporting TV actor in 1991 for his portrayal of John "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald in the TV film The Kennedys of Massachusetts and a Tony in 1990 as Big Daddy in the Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Durning had begun his career on stage, getting his first big break when theatrical producer Joseph Papp hired him for the New York Shakespeare Festival.
He went on to work regularly, if fairly anonymously, through the 1960s until his breakout role as a small-town mayor in the Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning play That Championship Season in 1972.
He quickly made an impression on movie audiences the following year as the crooked cop stalking con men Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the Oscar-winning comedy The Sting.
Dozens of notable portrayals followed. He was the would-be suitor of Dustin Hoffman, posing as a female soap opera star in Tootsie; the infamous seller of frog legs in The Muppet Movie; and Chief Brandon in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy. He played Santa Claus in four different movies made for television and was the pope in the TV film I Would Be Called John: Pope John XXIII.
"I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director," Durning told The Associated Press in 2008, when he was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Other films included The Front Page, The Hindenburg, Breakheart Pass, North Dallas Forty, Starting Over, Tough Guys, Home for the Holidays, Spy Hard and O Brother Where Art Thou?
Durning's rugged early life provided ample material on which to base his later portrayals. He was born into an Irish family of 10 children in 1923, in Highland Falls, New York, a town near West Point. His father was unable to work, having lost a leg and been gassed during World War I, so his mother supported the family by washing the uniforms of West Point cadets.
The younger Durning himself would barely survive World War II. He was among the first wave of US soldiers to land at Normandy during the D-Day invasion and the only member of his army unit to survive. He killed several Germans and was wounded in the leg. Later he was bayoneted by a young German soldier whom he killed with a rock. He was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and survived a massacre of prisoners.
In later years, he refused to discuss the military service for which he was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts.
Tragedy also stalked other members of his family. Durning was 12 when his father died, and five of his sisters were killed by smallpox or scarlet fever.
Durning and his first wife had three children before divorcing in 1972. In 1974, he married his high-school sweetheart, Mary Ann Amelio.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT freshman Chris Hendrix out-dueled WPI junior Nolan Murphy with a tremendous effort on the hill, and sophomore Ryne Barry tossed the last few innings en route to his second save of the campaign, as MIT topped Worcester's edition of the Engineers, 7-4, at Briggs Field on Thursday.
Hendrix surrendered just one hit to the WPI (14-8, 3-2 NEWMAC) offense through the first six innings, but homeruns in the seventh by rookie Mitch McClune and Jameson Kokolis signaled fatigue for the first-year starter. Barry delivered a near-flawless effort in relief, giving up one hit over the final 2.1 innings as MIT (10-6, 1-2) bested a WPI team that entered the tilt ranked No. 8 in the New England Division III College Baseball Coaches Poll.
Murphy (3-1) was solid despite shouldering the loss for WPI. Giving up one earned run while striking out five in 6.1 innings of work, MIT was able to capitalize on several miscues to jump out to an early 5-1 lead.
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the second, the Engineers scored five unearned runs on five hits and three errors. Brian Doyle and Stewart Park keyed the attack with run-scoring singles during the stanza.
A two-run homerun by McClune sparked WPI's comeback bid, while Kokolis followed with a two-out solo bomb. Barry put the brakes on the rally by getting the last out of the seventh then pitched the next two frames without allowing the ball to escape the infield.
Thomas Phillips capped the scoring by opening the bottom half of the eighth with his eighth homerun of the season. It was the only hit of the afternoon for Phillips, who earlier in the day was selected as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) National Hitter of the Week.

Pets Pets Pets
Animal abandonment, especially discarding the neglected or infirm, boils down to two psychiatric questions: How can an owner be callous enough to leave a defenseless dog or cat to fend for itself? What lobe of the brain must be missing in this cruel person who lacks any compassion or a semblance of a conscience?
Pet ownership should be a lifetime commitment, as in the vow: "In sickness and health; 'til death do us part." Sadly, municipal shelters see abandoned pets all the time. Many are so far gone that even limitless love and veterinary care come too late to save them, like dear Michaela featured in last week's column ("Pets" 3/29/12 online), the terribly matted Afghan Hound found in NJ wearing a peculiar purple coat. She succumbed to a pervasive infection.
For 30 years I have been reluctant to print that people abandon pets outside of town shelters (or other remote places) for fear of giving them unscrupulous ideas. My worry is absurd because individuals so heartless would never read this column, plus devious people concoct their own evil schemes. Experience has jaded me about accepting certain "found" animal stories. Many would fail the pet polygraph. Some are so brazen (or stupid), they dump dogs with tags or microchips, tracing back to them. Cat carriers are labeled or, better yet, lined with magazines, containing owners' address stickers.
A recent Friday at around 10 p.m., a kind feral feeder came upon a man wrapping a Boston Terrier's leash to the shelter door. When approached, he said he found the dog but couldn't take him home since he had Pits. So instead, he just happened to have a leash and was going to tie the dog to the shelter, which wouldn't re-open for 12 more hours, in a secluded, industrial area? More likely, the sneak didn't expect anyone to catch him in the act. Good Samaritans can take found dogs to emergency hospitals where they stay until town shelters can pick them up. There is no charge.
The feeder called a colleague who drove a distance to fetch the Boston so he could spend the night at her home. The next morning she brought him back, in hopes an owner would claim him. The Boston was very depressed. When he brushed up against the shelter vet, as if crying out for help, she noticed his gums were white which meant he was severely anemic. Bleeding internally after being hit by a car became a possibility.
The Boston was rushed to the emergency clinic where numerous tests suspected but didn't confirm a deadly autoimmune anemia rather than a collision with a car. Despite hospital care, the Boston didn't make it. The cynic in me believes the creep tying the dog late at night was the owner dumping his dog because he knew he was sick. Out of sight; out of mind; out of a mind, missing a lobe.
"Forever Their Own" is a wonderful rescue person's first published poem. The kindness of Eileen Gibson, a PA volunteer for Above & Beyond English Setter Rescue, has been portrayed here before; most recently describing the albino Setter puppies she saved ("Pets" 10/27/11). She and her husband Tom provided the hospice home for Quinn, our emaciated English Setter from a NYC shelter, suffering from end-stage Lyme disease. On the day Quinn died, Eileen's vet found a migrated microchip eventually traced to South Africa (See "Pets" 3/18/10). Inspired by what Quinn might have endured while seeking rufuge under a car in the Bronx on the cold, rainy day after Christmas 2010, Eileen wrote this verse. I would like to dedicate her poem to Quinn, Michaela, the nameless Boston Terrier and countless other abandoned pets:
Forever Their Own by Eileen Gibson
"Get out and stay out" were the last words you said,
Before opening the door, kicking me in the belly and
Crawling back on the porch whimpering, "What have I
I'm hurt and I'm scared but you're still my special one.
Out you come kicking - a puddle I make,
I tremble in fear as another beating I take.
I'm dragged to the sidewalk, the gate I hear slam.
All the while screaming "Bad dog - now you scram!"
What do I do? Where do I go?
I'll just sit here awhile, head hanging low.
For the longest time, I sit looking back in...
They'll soon come get me as I lick my bruised skin.
It's dark now. I'm hungry. The ground is so cold.
I turn away and begin walking...doing as was told.
It's raining and blowing, I'm soaked to the
Now thunder and lightning "Won't someone please let me in?"
I'm running and running from all that I
Can't trust anyone - not a soul I let near.
I close my eyes... from exhaustion I sleep.
My next meal is covered in maggots from a
trash heap.
My once shiny coat is matted with mud.
My ribs are now showing...paws stained
with my blood.
I walk among many; it's as if I'm not there...
Some glance or shout "Get away", but most
do not care.
I feel myself weaken, the end I now see...
Suddenly a soft voice cries "Poor poor baby...come to me!"
I look and I cower - head and tail to the ground.
As I lay shaking she cries, "Honey, look what I found!"
I try to be brave and stand up to these two...
Oh, no...I made a puddle! What will they do?
"Poor, poor baby," she whispers. "You're safe now," he said.
As he scratched my ears gently...she kissed my dirty head.
I don't even remember the car ride to their home.
They tell me I'm rescued, they love me, and forever their

Peter Lozano Flores repeatedly told Judge Lyle R. Anderson on Feb. 4 that he wants to defend himself against the 19 felony charges and three misdemeanor offenses that he faces in connection with the Jan. 25 incident. Anderson ultimately agreed to Flores' request, but the judge said he believes the 41-year-old Garland, Texas, man is making a "terrible mistake."
Flores is set to appear in court on Feb. 18 to face second-degree felony charges of assault against a peace officer/military service member and receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle.
The Grand County Attorney's office has charged him with 17 additional felonies, including 10 third-degree felony counts of possessing, selling or transferring information from a financial transaction card. Other charges include failure to stop or respond at the command of police, possession or use of a controlled substance, possession of another [person's] identifying documents and forgery-falsification [of a] license/ special plate/ permit.
The most serious charges stem from allegations that Flores injured Grand County Sheriff's Deputy Zane Lammert by ramming a stolen BMW into the deputy's parked vehicle on Castle Valley Road.
The impact of the crash also knocked Flores unconscious, bringing an end to an alleged high-speed chase on Jan. 25.
Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Kerry Ball reported that the chase began at about 8:30 a.m. that morning, after he clocked an unregistered white BMW speeding eastbound on Interstate 70 near Thompson Springs.
Ball tried to stop the vehicle. But instead of slowing down, the BMW driver allegedly raced off at speeds that topped 100 miles an hour, according to Ball's report.
At one point, the BMW pulled off to the side of the interstate and a woman later identified as Courtney Breann York stepped out; the 20-year-old Leonard, Texas, woman was later taken into custody.
The driver of the BLM eventually veered off I-70 near Cisco and rushed down state Route 128, Castle Valley Road and the La Sal Mountain Loop Road, evading road spikes along the way.
Authorities say the suspect eventually turned around and drove back down Castle Valley Road. Ball and Lammert were at the scene when the BMW driver approached their vehicles and then came to a stop.
Lammert ordered the driver to step out of the car, but Flores allegedly accelerated the BMW and crashed into the deputy's vehicle while Lammert was still behind the steering wheel. Lammert sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash.
Flores was transported via air ambulance to Utah Regional Medical Center in Provo for medical treatment; he was later booked into the Grand County Jail, where he remains on a no-bail hold.
Many of the charges against him are based on allegations that authorities found a stolen Arizona license plate, numerous credit cards and several different identification cards when they searched the BMW.
Flores, who faces up to 95 years behind bars if convicted of all charges, voluntarily waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Feb. 4.
In the moments beforehand, Judge Anderson tried to assure Flores that a defense attorney could guarantee that the proper legal procedures are followed. In addition, the judge noted that an attorney might be able to help Flores find an "impossible hole" in the state's case.
"You will be at some disadvantage in some respects if you [represent] yourself," Anderson said.
Flores, who repeatedly called himself a foreigner, said he understands the potential downsides to his decision. But he insisted that he will have more "strength" if he represents himself in court.
"Me being a foreigner, I feel more comfortable," he said.
Flores' co-defendant readily accepted the court's offer to appoint Grand County Public Defender Don Torgerson as her attorney.
York faces 16 felonies and two misdemeanors, including receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle and 10 counts of possessing, selling or transferring information [from] a financial transaction card.
The Grand County Attorney's office has also charged her with two counts of forgery-falsification [of a] license/special plate/permit, obtaining encoded information on a financial transaction card and possession or use of a controlled substance.
York remains in custody at the Grand County Jail; the judge set her preliminary hearing for Feb. 18.

I'd use while travelling.Originally Posted by alan
when he travelled last year functions as an adverbial clause. when is not a verb, so it doesn't have a verbal form. It joins the clause He bought something with the clause he travelled last year, making it a conjunction. If it were something else, say a relative adverb, it would modify the word 'place', like this,Originally Posted by alan
Relative Adverb
He bought something at that place where they have fine wines.
Well, here's a trick to find out: expand the sentence, like this,Originally Posted by alan
While he was travelling, he bought something.
travelling functions as a participle in that context.
They are the same. 'we are' is omitted because 'we' is redundant. It's stated in the main clause. 'are' is omitted because it goes hand-in-hand with 'we', the subject. If we omit 'we', we have to omit its verb, 'are'.Originally Posted by alan

Courtesy WPI Sports Information
WORCESTER, Mass. - Senior Dan Mahoney smashed a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to help lift host WPI to a 2-1 victory over MIT on Sunday afternoon in a rare non-conference match-up between the two NEWMAC members.
The game was a pitchers' dual from the start as MIT's Stephen Toth and WPI's Brendan Devereaux posted goose eggs through the first six innings. The visitors found the scoreboard first with two outs in the seventh as freshman Deron Brown plated Paul Groudas with an RBI single just past the third baseman.
That seemed to be all that Toth would need as he retired the side in the bottom of the seventh and got the first two hitters in the eighth. Down to their final out of the inning, WPI's Cody McGregor collected his third hit of the game and moved to second with his second stolen base of the day. Then on a 2-2 pitch, Mahoney launched his team-leading fourth homer of the season over the fence in left field.
Devereaux scattered five hits, walked three and struck out four in seven innings. Alex Hansen tossed a scoreless eighth to improve to 2-2 on the season while classmate Thomas Whiting pitched the ninth to earn his third save. WPI was aided in the top of the ninth when catcher Matt Fiore pickoff off a runner on first with one out.
Toth went the distance for MIT, surrendering just six hits and three walks while collecting a pair of strikeouts. Despite the strong start, Toth falls to 0-2 on the season.
Both teams have non-conference contests early this week before opening up the NEWMAC Tournament with home games on Thursday. WPI (16-15), the second seed in the tournament, will host Becker on Tuesday at 4pm. MIT (10-11), the league's third seed will host Bates College at 3:30 p.m.

Shellie Zimmerman, wife of George Zimmerman, the man accused of shooting Trayvon Martin, is seen in a police mug shot June 12, 2012 in Sanford, Fla.
Shellie Zimmerman will not appear at her scheduled arraignment Tuesday after pleading not guilty to perjury for allegedly lying about the family's finances, a court official told WPTV.com.
Shellie, the wife of George Zimmerman, was arrested June 12 on one count of perjury.
"Neither Ms. Zimmerman or her attorney are required to attend the arraignment," Seminole County, Fla., court spokeswoman Michelle Kennedy told WPTV. "Ms. Zimmerman's name will remain on the docket, but her case will not be called."
Shellie Zimmerman's lawyer, Kelly Sims, entered a written not guilty plea last week, along with a waiver for her client not to personally attend her arraignment.
George Zimmerman, 28, was charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin. He pleaded not guilty, and claims that he acted in self-defense.
His $150,000 bond was revoked after it was alleged that he and Shellie Zimmerman misled the court about their finances, neglecting to disclose they had raised at least $135,000 in a PayPal account.
Florida prosecutors said George Zimmerman, speaking by phone from jail, gave detailed instructions to his wife to conduct a series of money transfers and transactions in allegedly coded exchanges that were intended to hide from the court how much money had been raised to help pay for his legal defense.
Zimmerman spoke to wife in code from jail to hide assets, prosecutors allege
Prosecutors released six recorded calls Zimmerman made from April 12 through April 17 while he was in Seminole County Jail. In the calls, he gave his wife Shellie detailed instructions to change passwords and answer security questions for the accounts, allowing her to move money. He then instructed her to move the money in a series of transactions carried out over days.
At George Zimmerman's April 20 bond hearing, when asked whether the couple had financial means to assist in his defense, Shellie Zimmerman said: "Uhm, not -- not that I'm aware of," according to an affidavit.

Even apes have 'midlife crises'
NEW YORK - Chimpanzees in a midlife crisis? It sounds like a setup for a joke.
But there it is, in the title of a report published Monday in a scientific journal: "Evidence for a midlife crisis in great apes."
So what do these apes do? Buy red Ferraris? Leave their mates for some cute young bonobos?
Uh, no.
"I believe no ape has ever purchased a sports car," said Andrew Oswald, an author of the study. But researchers report that captive chimps and orangutans do show the same low ebb in emotional well-being at midlife that some studies find in people.
That suggests the human tendency toward midlife discontent may have been passed on through evolution, rather than resulting just from the hassles of modern life, said Oswald, a professor of economics at the University of Warwick in England who presented his work Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A U-shaped pattern
Several studies have concluded that happiness in human adults tends to follow a certain course between ages 20 and 70: It starts high and declines over the years to reach a low point in the late 40s, then turns around and rises to another peak at 70. On a graph, that's a U-shaped pattern. Some researchers question whether that trend is real, but to Oswald the mystery is what causes it.
"This is one of the great patterns of human life. We're all going to slide along this U for good or ill," he said. "So what explains it?"
When he learned that others had been measuring well-being in apes, "it just seemed worth pursuing the hunch that the U might be more general than in humans," he said.
He and co-authors assembled data on 508 great apes from zoos and research centers in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Singapore and Japan. Caretakers and other observers had filled out a four-item questionnaire to assess well-being in the apes.
Sounds wacky?
The questions asked such things as the degree to which each animal was in a positive or negative mood, how much pleasure it got from social situations, and how successful it was in achieving goals. The raters were even asked how happy they would be if they were the animal for a week.
Sounds wacky? Oswald and his co-authors say research suggests it's a valid approach. And they found that the survey results produced that familiar U-shaped curve, adjusted to an ape's shorter lifespan.
"We find it for these creatures that don't have a mortgage and don't have to go to work and don't have marriage and all the other stuff," Oswald said. "It's as though the U shape is deep in the biology of humans" rather than a result of uniquely human experiences.

Post subject: The Vision that started it all
Blackness... I see nothing, yet I am unafraid. I am the one attempting to entomb myself within my mind. I am meditating, hoping to contact the ancestors for further insight. I.. I have been recieving these dreams that have been troubling...
I am Trannok, son of Thul, young Shaman of the free orc Frostwolf Clan. My mentor suggested I try this ritual. Perhaps alone, I will find answers. I sit high on top of the ridge of mountains that ouline the frozen valley my clan has called home for sometime now. My eyes are closed. In my lap sits a small drum that I strike at with a constant rythym. Thump, thump, thump... my breathing begins to slow... Thump, Thump, Thump... slowly my mind begins to focus. The sounds of the small crackling fire near me; the hot scent of its' ash and rising smoke all begin to fade to the constant thump, thump, thump. The thumping of the drum becomes my heartbeat, or perhaps it is my heart that I hear... I can no longer tell. I am focused on the now and nothing... SUDDENLY, piercing through my nothing is the howl of a wolf... I shudder from the sudden burst of sensory overload, and then I truly know nothing....
I become aware once more, I reach out to push myself up and feel nothing... My eyes open, my heartbeat still loud in my ears. My mind, my spirit cries out to the nothing, "Great Ancestors, and my spirit guide the wolf. LEAD ME! SHOW ME YOUR BIDDING!"
Slowly I begin to comprehend... I am floating in a endless blackness, pin points of light surround me. A great ball of fire and ice hurtles past me, bit of it falling off into a fiery tail behind it... my mind slowly begins to comprehend moons and worlds. And finally I notice a great glowing orb that appears in the nothing.. It looks as if it was something set aflame. Is it a planet?... no! there are two. Great Ancestors.. they are eyes. Horrible, malecious, all knowing eyes.. burning into my being with their intense gaze.. but no... it's not me they are looking at. They look through me.. behind me?? Somehow, my view begins to turn, until I see what they must see. I see a world. This being is focused upon this world, but for what reason? THUMP.. my heart pounds... or is it a drum? I blink...
My eyes open to reveal a new place. A new time? I see blue skies, and the fluffy white clouds that make me think of the bluffs of mulgore. I am laying on soft earth...and I can not move. I try to sit up, but I am unable... I hear a lone wolf howling in the distance, and above me the clouds begin to march across the sky. March...they move faster, as if pushed by some great wind... faster then move yet. Faster then any wolf rider, faster then the winged snakes.. still faster they move... Day turns to dusk turns to darkest night turns to dawn turns to day... over and over endlessly, I feel the warmth of days of sun and soft breezes; I feel pelting rain and freezing snows. I am unable to blink, to even turn my eyes away from this... still moving.. the world, the skies, the clouds will NOT STOP!!! What madness is this!!! Then I hear the mournful howling of several wolves. A true pack, strong in their unity howling as one, but I can sense a sadness to their howl... the skies stop their frenetic movements, and a full moon rises...
The moon is pale and bright even against the blue sky of day, but slowly it changes. Bits of the moon seem to fall off of it, plummeting out of their correct place in the sky where they hit the horizon bursts of color flash out assaulting my eyes. Finally the moon stops it's change, and it's face is now that of a hollow skull. The image seems to laugh at me in arrogance, and starting from around the moon's now skeletal mouth, the skies begin to turn red, as if blood dripping from its' maw was staining the heavens. When the skies were corrupted to a sickly dark red, the moon seemed to burst into flames and I blink
My eyes open once more, and I see the raised earth of an insect mound. All over the mound it seems as if insects of many sizes and strange shapes swarm. I notice that they seem to be tearing down the mound, maybe it was one colony attacking another, I had once hea...rd...NO!.. My mind paused in mid thought shocked into static by sudden perfect clarity. It wasn't an insect mound, it was Ogrimmar. I was floating in the clouds.. my mind started to notice the details of the battle. I hear laughing from the bad moon still hanging in the sky. Its' face laughing at me.. next thing I knew, I was hurtling toward the ground. Apparently whatever magic that held me in place was spent. Falling, faster and faster, the ground is coming closer I am about to hit, and I blink.
My eyes open once more, and I hear the wooshing of a blade, along with the crackle of fire and I can feel warmth, almost too hot coming from my left. I leap to my right, dodging just in time the fatal decent of a burning sword. Rolling and standing, I now see the blade is held by some monsterous demon from my nightmares. By the ancestors... I see hundreds of them swaming in... I can't see where they are coming from, but over his (it's?) shoulder. I see my nemesis... the bad moon hangs high in the blood red sky, and it laughs once more as if calling forth these fell creatures. I pull forth my shield and mace, just in time to block another thunderous blow. The power of the blow drives me up into the air. I land uncerimoniously several orc lengths back, the impact with the ground causing me to blink...
I flash in and out of several more prohesies of the end. In each the bad moon taunting me.
Finally, My eyes open once more, and the skies are their normal blue once more. I feel the wind, it is not the warm and searing blast I felt countless times in countless ends. No, this wind was gentle and comforting. In the distance I hear wolves howling. It was only then that I noticed before me is a single great white wolf. It stops it's howling for a moment turning it's head to look at me. It begins to walk away slowly. My mind reeling from everything, I notice it stop and look back at me once more. I swear I saw a nod before the great wolf began to walk once more.
I stand and follow the white wolf. Ahead, I see the tents of a small wandering tribe. The banners they fly are of the Horde, and another bearing the head of the wolf. Curious, I continue to follow the wolf past many empty tents until finally we reach a small raised mound. There is only myself and the wolf. He raises his muzzle to the sky and let's loose this great howl. Soon, I hear other wolves answering. Other wolves begin to arrive. They nod their head to the wolf next to me. As they gather I notice them play like any normal wolf pack. As even more wolves arrive, I notice them gather into packs of their own. With a yip they leave as they form these groups. Some how I know where they go... Some seek battle, some seek the ruins of legend, and some run to seek even more. Even as the packs leave, more arrive.. all answering the call of the great white wolf. I notice the bad moon on the horizon. But even as it starts to rise, another pack leaves. With each pack leaving the ascent of the moon slows it's pace. Perhaps with enough it may never reach it's zenith..
The great wolf stops his howling, and looks at me. With a nod of his head, the other gathered wolves nod to me as well. Smoke begins to rise from the ground of each wolf... slowly before my eyes they change shape. These wolves changed into the familiar shapes of trolls, orc and tauren.. even a few of the undead. My eyes open in wide surprise, I notice cloth robes and warrior plate. I see totems of the elements, and to my surprise even a few imps and other demons of the warlock stoll by seeking their masters among the wolves.. or once wolves changed. I turn to look at the great white wolf, witha snarl it leaps at me and I blink.
My eyes open, the fire I had built was still burning. But tending the flames was the familar shape of my mentor in the shamanistic ways. I had been missing for a week, and then lost in the ancestor's dream for another week after he found me. We discuss my vision.. the bad moon is rising on the horizon. I know this means any one of the end days is trying to break through from dream to reality. The tribe of the wolf must be gathered to fight.
I am Trannok of the Tribe of the Bad Moon Rising. And we will protect our own from any horrific future.
