Jury Trial Starts for Inmate Henry Ricky Anfinson, Accused of Rape
SIOUX FALLS - A jury trial is underway for a work-release inmate accused of raping the girlfriend of a former cellmate.
The Argus Leader reports that 29-year-old Henry Ricky Anfinson was indicted last May on one count of rape by force and one count of first-degree burglary. If convicted as a repeat offender, he could spend life in prison.
Prosecutors say Anfinson made an unannounced visit to the 31-year-old woman's home on May 7 and then raped her in the bathroom as her children sat in the living room.
But defense lawyers say the sex was consensual and that the woman invited Anfinson to come to her house between visits to potential job sites. They also say that Anfinson helped the woman shoot methamphetamine.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Stock market indexes flipped between small gains and losses early Wednesday after the government reported that housing construction slowed down during the first month of the year.
NEW YORK (AP) ? Stock market indexes flipped between small gains and losses early Wednesday after the government reported that housing construction slowed down during the first month of the year.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up seven points at 14,043 one hour after the opening bell.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped three points to 1,528. The Nasdaq composite fell eight points to 3,206.
The Dow closed at its highest level of the year Tuesday, bringing it within one percent of 14,164, the record high reached more than five years ago.
Even though builders eased their pace in January, the Department of Commerce reported that new housing starts remained strong. Builders started construction at an annual rate of 890,000 last month, down 8.5 percent from December. Applications for building permits increased.
Boeing led the Dow higher, rising 1 percent. An investigation into the overheating of a battery that caused a Boeing 787 to make an emergency landing in Japan last month found that it was incorrectly wired. Separately, Boeing's engineers approved the company's contract offer late Tuesday, defusing a showdown that could have resulted in a strike.
The stock market surged at the start of the year, then drifted slightly higher in recent weeks with few major events to drive trading one way or another. That could change quickly, once Congress returns from vacation next Monday. Deep federal spending cuts are scheduled to start March 1 unless Congress and the White House find a way to avoid them.
Both the Dow and the S&P 500 have gained more than 7 percent for the year. The Nasdaq is up more than 6 percent.
In the U.S. government bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged up to 2.04 percent from 2.03 percent late Tuesday. The yield, which is used as a benchmark rate for mortgages and other loans, has climbed steadily higher since the start of the year, when it traded around 1.70 percent.
Among companies making moves:
? GPS device maker Garmin slumped 9 percent, the biggest drop in the S&P 500 index, after the company's results missed analysts' forecasts. Demand has waned for handheld navigation devices as more customers use maps on their smartphones.
? Food giant ConAgra gained 1 percent after it raised its profit forecast for the year. The company, whose brands include Chef Boyardee, said its acquisition of Ralcorp will add a nickel per share to adjusted earnings this year.

Description and Brand Names of ConZip – Tramadol (Oral Route)
US Brand Name
- ConZip
- FusePaq Synapryn
- Rybix ODT
- Ryzolt
- Ultram
- Ultram ER
Tramadol is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain, including pain after surgery. The extended-release or long-acting tablets are used for chronic ongoing pain.
Tramadol belongs to the group of medicines called opioid analgesics. It acts in the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain. When tramadol is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence). Physical dependence may lead to side effects when you stop taking the medicine.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
- Tablet, Extended Release
- Suspension
- Capsule, Extended Release
- Tablet, Disintegrating
- Tablet
Before Using ConZip – Tramadol (Oral Route)
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of Rybix™ ODT, Ryzolt™, and Ultram® tablets in children younger than 16 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of Ultram® ER extended-release tablets in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of tramadol in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have unwanted side effects (e.g., constipation; lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting; stomach upset; weakness) and age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving tramadol.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure the medicine is working properly and to check for any unwanted effects.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicine that makes you drowsy or less alert). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; medicine for seizures or barbiturates; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, and check with your doctor or dentist before taking any of these medicines while you are using this medicine.
Make sure your doctor knows about all the other medicines you are using. This medicine may increase your risk for seizures. (convulsions) and may cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome.
This medicine can increase thoughts of suicide. Tell your doctor right away if you start to feel more depressed or have thoughts about hurting yourself. Report any unusual thoughts or behaviors that trouble you, especially if they are new or get worse quickly. Make sure your caregiver knows if you have trouble sleeping, get upset easily, have a big increase in energy, or start to act reckless. Tell your doctor if you have any sudden or strong feelings, such as feeling nervous, angry, restless, violent, or scared. Let your doctor know if you or anyone in your family has bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder) or has tried to commit suicide.
This medicine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Call your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; hoarseness; trouble breathing; trouble swallowing; swelling of your hands, face, or mouth; or chest pain while you are using this medicine.
This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy, dizzy, lightheaded, or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.
Make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or planning to become pregnant.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help lessen this problem.
Nausea or vomiting may occur, especially after the first couple of doses. This effect may go away if you lie down for awhile. However, if nausea or vomiting continues, check with your doctor. Lying down for a while may also help relieve some other side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness that may occur.
Before having any kind of surgery (including dental surgery) or emergency treatment, tell the doctor or dentist in charge that you are taking this medicine. Taking tramadol together with medicines that are used during surgery or dental or emergency treatments may cause increased side effects.
If you think you or someone else may have taken an overdose of tramadol, get emergency help at once. Signs of an overdose include convulsions (seizures); difficult or troubled breathing; irregular, fast or slow, or shallow breathing; pale or blue lips, fingernails, or skin; pinpoint pupils of the eyes, or shortness of breath.
Do not stop suddenly taking this medicine without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are using before stopping it completely. This may help prevent a possible worsening of your condition and reduce the possibility of withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, diarrhea, headache, nausea, shivering, sweating, tremors, or trouble with sleeping.

This tool is closed source.
Published on
This tool computes the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of quantum dot structures based on the Coulomb Blockade model [1]. The aim is to explore various single charge phenomena that can be noticed via I-V measurements. These include coulomb blockade current plateaus, Negative Differential Resistance (NDR), electronic excitation spectroscopy and spin blockade in double quantum dots.
The tool is supported by an additional resource entitled Introduction to Quantum Dot Lab which provides a tutorial to the tool. A tutorial level introduction to the underlying theory can be found in chapters 5 and 6 of "Electron-Phonon and Electron-Electron Interactions in Quantum Transport", Gerhard Klimeck, Ph.D. thesis, Purdue University, 1994.

Tri-Cities Knowledge Quiz Had Disturbing Results!
Last week we made a quiz about the Tri-Cities and almost 100 people took it. We were surprised by some of the results, and we think you will be too!
- 26 percent did not know we still have a working nuclear reactor making electricity!
- 45 percent didn't know the Blue Bridge's real name is the Pioneer Memorial Bridge.
- 9 percent didn't know agriculture was still an important source of jobs for the area!
- 19 percent thought the precursor to the Tri-City Dust Devils was the Richland Red Devils.
- 23 percent thought our old minor-league basketball team was called the Tornadoes!
- 15 percent thought Cherokee was a top language spoken inside Pasco schools.
- 57 percent didn't know Leslie Grove Park has a boat ramp! (it's on the north end of the park)
The good news? 100 percent knew Lewis & Clark camped at Sacajawea State Park (phew!)

When it comes to obesity -- a stubborn condition that the sharpest medical minds can't reliably treat -- is it fair to penalize an employee for staying heavy?
This article was originally published by Fortune.com on Monday, April 15, 2013.
By Katherine Reynolds Lewis FORTUNE -- CVS Caremark (CVS) recently made headlines for rolling out a $600 penalty on workers who fail to report biometric data such as weight, body fat, blood sugar, and cholesterol in an annual screening. The controversial move is likely just the start of a new wave of workplace programs that aim to encourage healthier employee behavior through targeted incentives.
"You're going to see over the next three to five years lots of employers rewarding employees for successfully improving their health risk," says Jim Winkler, chief innovation officer for HR consultancy AON Hewitt, which found that 58% of the nearly 800 employers it surveyed plan to penalize workers who fail to take appropriate actions to improve their health.
Companies are expanding their wellness programs in the face of climbing health insurance costs, which in 2013 are expected to reach an average of $11,188 per employee, up from $7,874 in 2007, according to AON Hewitt. And many are switching from solely offering carrots -- rewards for making healthy choices -- to include sticks.
Of the $2.7 trillion spent each year on health care, about 50% to 60% relates to conditions that could be improved through changes in diet, exercise, and stress management, says Adam Bosworth, co-founder of online wellness company Keas and former head of Google Health.
The recently passed Affordable Care Act clarified employers' ability to financially penalize employees for unhealthy behavior. The act raised the allowed penalty, or reward, to 30% of health care premiums, from 20%. The federal health care reform package also cast a spotlight on the effectiveness of using payments and fines to influence employees' behavior -- regardless of whether they are weighted more on punishment or rewards.
"These programs, when it comes to obesity and weight management, are simply not very effective. All the studies have shown a very marginal weight loss over 12 months," says Morgan Downey, editor and publisher of The Downey Obesity Report, which covers science and public policy on obesity. "The best scientists and clinicians in the world have trouble getting these conditions under control. Why do we think HR can do it?"
Unlike smoking, high blood pressure, and glycemic control -- issues that physicians have a range of options to treat and control -- there are no clinically proven pharmaceutical or treatment protocols for obesity, says Downey. Moreover, the federal regulations proposed under health care reform contemplate such possibilities as an employer requiring its entire workforce to achieve a body mass index of 27, and fining those who cannot meet the standard or make consistent progress toward it.
A majority of adult Americans are overweight or obese. Most fail in their attempts to lose weight, researchers find, but the majority of those who succeed return to baseline weights within five years. "The majority of American women are on a diet at a given time," says John Cawley, a Cornell University economist and public policy professor. "It's not that people don't know, and it's not that they aren't trying. It's that these are really hard behaviors to change."
A recent study of a workplace program that offered financial incentives for losing weight to 2,635 workers found only modest weight loss and a high dropout rate, according to Cawley, who published this study with Joshua Price of the University of Texas at Arlington. "We're at an early stage with figuring out how to optimally design these incentive schemes," says Cawley.
Culture and level of trust within an organization are the most important elements of a wellness program, according to Winkler. Rewards or penalties around healthy behavior must be give in the context of information, interventions, and programs that make it possible for employees to reach their health goals. Programs that are personalized to the workers' personalities, health risks, and other variables are more likely to be successful -- but are also harder to administer.
Eight primary risks can drive up health care costs and lead to diseases: smoking, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol use, lack of preventive screenings, patient non-compliance, inadequate sleep, and poor stress management. Rather than tackle all eight at once, an employer should assess where the greatest risks and costs exist among their employees and go from there, Winkler says.
But don't expect the same old glossy brochures and HR-speak as new programs roll out. Organizations are getting creative. "Employers that have had success in connecting with people to change behavior have used marketing tactics as opposed to traditional HR benefits communications," notes Winkler.
Rather than simply threatening or bribing employees, a growing number of employers are launching competitions and gaming applications that encourage achieving health goals in a fun way. The Hewitt study found that 22% of employers surveyed are interested in incorporating gaming concepts into their wellness programs.
Keas believes that penalties don't work in changing individuals' behavior, says Bosworth. Rather, the company has found success through a fun and social rewards-based approach that combines games, achievable goals, healthy habit building, and small coworker teams that support health goals. A case study Keas conducted at a Florida hospital found that 46% of employee participants improved their fresh produce intake and exercise, 16% improved their stress level, and 30% lost a modest amount of weight.
Also going beyond monetary rewards or penalties is the Global Corporate Challenge, in which teams of employees compete in their virtual progress walking around the world, with a 16-week jump-start period beginning May 23 and another nine months of follow-up. "Payment doesn't encourage personal responsibility; it actually compromises it," argues GCC president and founder Glenn Riseley.
At the end of previous years' challenges, participants lost an average of 9.9 pounds; 66% reported decreased stress; and of those with high-risk blood pressure, 54% had reached low-risk levels. Past participants include Pearson, Warner Brothers, and Rolls Royce, according to the GCC web site.
The vast majority of American companies, 83% according to Hewitt's survey, already offer incentives for participating in wellness programs. Expect more to expand those rewards and penalties to cover healthy behaviors and eventually to rest on specific results.
"A lot of people will feel that it's somehow mean to do this," says Cawley. "What's not fair is the current system where everybody else in the health insurance pool is subsidizing the health care costs of the morbidly obese."

Last week I randomly found myself near a very exclusive perfume store that I already had visited last year, and decided on an impulse to go hunt for a new fragrance, with one idea in mind: find out what is so special about Jo Malone fragrances, as that store has the only counter of the country.
I had a fantastic customer experience, as the ladies holding the counter were extremely knowledgeable and also very friendly. They told me about the high quality ingredients used in Jo Malone colognes, and explained how you can mix and layer them to obtain a fragrance that is unique to you (not that you can't wear them on their own, of course).
I told them about the notes I usually enjoy or don't like and they made a small selections of colognes that I would probably like. We smelled them (with pauses in-between thanks to coffee beans), discussed them, mixed them and then I made my choice. I was actually quite surprised that, after 20 mins of breathing all these fragrances, I was not feeling the slightest sign of headache (which is my big issue with lots of perfumes). I took that as a good sign and decided to get a little treat for myself.
You can actually get the colognes in 2 sizes: 30ml, which are nice travel spray bottles, and 100ml. I decided to get 2 different notes in the small size so I could enjoy some variety, and so I left the boutique with this lovely package.
Let's unwrap it together, shall we? The box was actually wrapped itself in black paper that had been sprayed with the fragrances I chose.
I picked 2 very different notes so I could enjoy some variety :
- Blue Agava & Cacao, which, on me, quickly turns into a warm slightly spicy smell. I don't get the fresh lime or grapefruit leads very much (which is good, they're not my taste), it's cosy, it's a bit row, it's a bit sexy - that was love at first sniff.
- Vanilla & Anise - this one sounds like it would be closer to my comfort zone, but this one is actually very fresh and with a slightly green note, which is not what I usually go for but I thought it would be a refreshing way to wear my beloved Vanilla during the Summer. And obviously, I can add a touch of the Blue Agava & Cacao if I want to deepen it some more.
I am absolutely thrilled with the whole experience and with the colognes I brought back home. I will definitely be going back to the Jo Malone counter for more in the future especially as I was gifted a voucher for a hand and arm massage, which I am really looking forward to enjoying!
Are you familiar with Jo Malone? What are your favorite colognes?

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The sun was shining bright on the Central Coast on Saturday afternoon, but the UC Santa Barbara women's basketball's offense struggled to stay warmed up as it fell, 66-47, to Cal Poly in Mott Gym during the first of two Blue-Green Rivalry games between the teams this season.
With the loss, UCSB falls to 6-11 on the season and to 2-3 in Big West play. The Mustangs improve to 10-6 overall and 4-1 in league games.
After limiting UC Davis to 11 points in the first half just a week ago, UCSB gave up 14 points in the opening five minutes to the Mustangs. Cal Poly opened the game with a 10-0 run while the Gauchos saw their first five shots of the game bounce off the rim. Junior Melissa Zornig finally got UCSB on the board when she hit the first of her two three-pointers of the half.
The Gauchos clawed their way into the game and cut their deficit to four points at 24-20 when Zornig hit a lay-up with 3:59 to go in the half. Reigning Big West Player of the Week Molly Schlemer, however, was almost single-handedly responsible for keeping UCSB at bay as she scored eight of her 10 points in the half – and eight of the Mustangs' final 10 in the first – in the last 10:32 of the stanza to give her team a 28-22 advantage heading into the break.
Cal Poly quickly put a stop to any hope of a Gaucho comeback early in the second half as they opened with a 21-7 run that gave them a 20-point lead with 9:15 to go. The closest UCSB would get to the Mustangs down the stretch was 15 points after senior Angelei Aguirre hit a jumper followed by a free-throw with 4:47 remaining.
"If we are going to be the team that we ended up being last year, you have to know that shots aren't always going to fall and you need to find a way to make stops," head coach Carlene Mitchell said. "They got on a little run there and we didn't stop the bleeding."
After shooting 32.1% (9-for-28) in the first half, the Gauchos improved in the second (41.7%), but their 36.5% for the game just couldn't stack up to Cal Poly's 48.3% field goal percentage.
The Mustangs were led by big performances from Schlemer and Kayla Griffin. The former finished with 22 points and eight rebounds. Griffin, meanwhile, had 21 points to go along with five assists and nine boards.
For the Gauchos, Aguirre led the way with 10 points and four assists. Senior Sweets Underwood finished with nine points and eight boards. Senior Kirsten Tilleman led the team with nine rebounds to go with four points and Zornig finished with eight points and four assists.
The Gauchos will be back in action on Thursday, Jan. 24 when they head to Cal State Northridge for a 7 p.m. pairing with the Matadors. The game will be broadcast live online at UCSBgauchos.com and a live video stream is available on BigWest.tv.

Why has XFFM and XFSamba been discontinued in the new release. Can I compile and install these two in the new version. Any howtos available?
Xffm didn't fit into Xfce anymore and is replaced by Thunar. That doesn't mean Xffm disappeared from earth. It continued as a separate project: http://xffm.foo-projects.org/.
Tks, I have compiled xffm-samba-4.5.0 with dependencies and am browsing my samba network happily. Sad Thunar does not have this.. it's great otherwise..
You don't need a samba browser with fuse + smbnetfs in thunar.

fun. + Janelle Monae Bring 'We Are Young' to the 2013 Grammy Nominations Live Concert
Fun. had a whole mess of fun at the 2013 Grammy Nominations Live concert in Nashville tonight (Dec. 5.) The band performed its smash hit 'We Are Young' and petite powerhouse Janelle Monae was on hand to deliver her vocal parts, which was a welcome surprise. Monae is a crucial part of the song, so it was only fitting that she was there to join the boys onstage.
The band turned in a rich, orchestral, lush and expansive rendition of the song, complete with strings. Monae looked adorbs in her black fedora and vest, while fun. frontman Nate Ruess cut a dashing figure in a suit. They certainly showed up in celebratory attire.
And guess what? Fun. had many reasons to celebrate tonight, besides the fact that they were performing on a national stage such as this.
The group proved to be a favorite of the Grammys, and it racked up multiple nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Album for 'Some Nights'; Record of the Year for 'We Are Young'; and Best New Artist. Not bad, not bad at all for the boys.
Congrats to fun. on grabbing six nominations! We wish them the best as Grammy season draws nearer.

The Ravens will try to end their 2-game losing skid on Sunday in Minneapolis, the only city in which the purple and black have never played a regular season game. The Ravens lead the all time series between the two clubs, 2-1, with all three contests having been played in B'More, the last in 2005.
If I were to tell you that, one team enters this game with the 10th ranked defense and the 5th ranked offense, and the other with the 14th ranked defense and the 19th ranked offense, and one of those teams was undefeated – you would probably assume it was the 10/5 team right? Wrong. As you can see above, the 5-0 Vikings lag behind the Ravens in most statistical categories. Nonetheless, they remain perfect, while the Ravens are scuffling.
When looking around the web at all the "expert's" picks, I was curious how so many could be going with the Ravens this week, until I looked closer at the Vikes' numbers and schedule to date. When I thought about this game on Monday, back when the sky was falling after the Bengals loss, I was thinking something like 27-13 Minnesota. Four days of clearer thinking, along with the added optimism that comes with every impending weekend though, have me backing away from the ledge.
Let's dive into the game a little further.
While "5-0 is 5-0," and "you can only play the teams on your schedule," and blah, blah, blah…closer inspection reveals that the Vikes haven't exactly been tearing through playoff teams so far in 2009. Their victories?
Week 1: Browns (1-4)
Week 2: Lions (1-4)
Week 3: 49ers (3-2, a game they needed a miracle to win)
Week 4: Packers (2-2, and Brett's Super Bowl)
Week 5: Rams (0-5)
I'm not taking anything away from Minnesota; just pointing out that the Ravens will be, by far, the best team they have faced this season.
One area where the Vikings do unquestionably dominate is in getting to the quarterback. They lead the league with 18 sacks, and DE Jared Allen has racked up 6.5 (4.5 of those coming two weeks ago against Green Bay). Allen will be a handful for either Jared Gaither (who is still trying to come back from the neck injury suffered in New England and is yet to practice since) or rookie Michael Oher. As I said a few weeks ago, I am confident in Oher 1-on-1 against pretty much anybody in the NFL – an assertion that is likely to be put to quite the test in the Metrodome.
I'd like to see Cam Cameron and the Ravens' offense approach this contest with a similar game plan to the one they used against another top-notch pass rusher in an extremely loud stadium last season – Demarcus Ware and Dallas in Week 16. Despite the fact that Joe Flacco was sacked five times in that game, the Ravens were still able to rack up 388 yards of total offense; and they did it by showing the kind of BALANCE (30 passes, 31 rushes) that we have yet to see in 2009.
I agree completely with what Luke Jones at WNST wrote earlier this week. It's time for the Ravens offense to swallow their pride about "we're not just a running team any more," and get back to the formula that served them so well in 2008 – controlling the clock and the pace of the game with Willis McGahee, Le'Ron McClain, and Ray Rice.
The Ravens are currently 15th in the NFL in time of possession, holding the ball 30:07 per game. In 2008, they were #1 in that category, at 33:22. While Greg Mattison's defense tries to work out their issues, which include pressuring the quarterback, coverage in the secondary, and tackling, it would be a tremendous help to them if the offense could stay on the field 2-3 additional minutes every game.
Running the ball against the Vikings is no small task, especially inside where they feature DTs Kevin and Pat Williams. However, even those two will get tired of tackling "Pain Train" McClain at some point.
Please, Cam…we're begging you. We know you and Joe Cool can throw the ball now if you want to…we know. So does everybody else. But right now it's time to get back to basics and find our offensive identity – as a run-first team that can move the ball through the air when needed.
And what about that Ravens defense? The one that just had their "no 100-yard rusher" streak ended by Cedric (expletive) Benson. How in the world, if they can't stop Benson, do they plan on stopping Adrian "All Day" Peterson, possibly the best runner of this generation? Well, if it makes you feel any better, Benson is currently the NFL's leading rusher, while AD is #2. Peterson, though, is still averaging 4.9 yards per carry (nearly a full yard less than Ray Rice, mind you) and leads the NFL with 7 rushing scores. Keeping him in check will be no small task, but as Ray Lewis is always quick to tell us, "it's just football." As in, enough missing tackles – it's as simple (and as complicated) as that. Let's hope that Ray-Ray and company will take last week's embarrassment and use it as motivation to prove that they are still a dominant run defense – a claim nobody will be able to dispute, should they shut down #28.
As far as the pass defense – well, that's quite another story. Even assuming the Ravens are able to hold down Peterson, and force Brett Favre to beat them through the air, who's to say that the back end will be able to hold up? Especially after the way we've seen them get torched by Rivers, Brady, and Palmer in recent weeks? All I can say is, I hope Greg Mattison has made some adjustments this week. For starters, Chris Carr should not be "covering" anybody – put Ledarius Webb out there as the nickel back. Perhaps convince Dominique Foxworth that he isn't Jared Gaither, and he can, in fact, turn his head to look for the ball. And don't just tell us that "the pass rush needs to get better," make it happen!
Favre has thrown 9 TDs and only 2 picks so far this year. Last year with the Jets, he was at 13/6 after five games, showing that he is, indeed, accepting his role as "game manager" a bit more in his old age. We know the old gunslinger is still in there though, and he is due for one of his patented 3-pick days. Fast Eddie Reed, fresh off his best performance of the season, is just the man to help Favre get there. It all starts up front – defensive line and backers stop the run and get pressure, secondary cleans up the Vikes' mistakes.
Not saying it WILL happen…just that it CAN.
I'm not jumping off the bandwagon just yet. The Ravens have their backs against the wall, and have no desire to take a 3-game losing streak into the bye. I believe they can, and will, respond. If not…well, I'll see you at the ledge.

MBA students exercise teamwork, leadership with New York City firefighters
MBA students exercise teamwork, leadership with New York City firefighters
"Everything we're going to expose you to are things that happen in a real fire."
That was one of the first things a group of Penn State Smeal master of business administration (MBA) and Executive MBA students heard upon arriving at the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Fire Academy on Randall's Island, N.Y., last month to participate in the Firefighter for a Day Challenge, a teambuilding and leadership development program through the FDNY Foundation.
"Leadership is one of the most important skills for new MBA graduates," said Carrie Marcinkevage, managing director of the Penn State Smeal MBA Program. "We wanted to provide our students with an experience that removed them from their typical environments and offered some very daunting leadership challenges."
As part of the college's new leadership immersion experience, about 40 students spent the day learning to work together in disorienting circumstances, communicate under pressure and adapt to uncertain situations. This year, a smaller group of students also had the opportunity to experience a military simulation at the U.S. Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va.
"We wanted to provide our students with an experience that removed them from their typical environments and offered some very daunting leadership challenges."
--Carrie Marcinkevage, managing director, Penn State Smeal MBA Program
"The FDNY Firefighter for a Day Challenge put students in unique situations that stretched their conception of effective communication, what it means to work as a team and how to lead amidst chaos and stress," said Marcinkevage.
The 27-acre Fire Academy looks like a slice of the city: buildings with fire escapes and simulated storefronts dot the landscape, mixed in with other stations where probationary firefighters practice controlling fire hoses and dealing with other city emergencies such as subway derailments.
MBA students were sent into some of these stations, or evolutions, with little to no direction, giving teams an opportunity to stretch their critical thinking and teamwork skills. After each evolution, facilitators on scene —members of the FDNY who help train incoming firefighters — walked the students through lessons learned and how they could have more effectively approached each problem.
"The importance of planning and preparation was really driven home," said Elizabeth Guiley, first-year MBA student. "Throughout the day, my team became better at working together because we became more effective planners. That made the execution so much more seamless."
Guiley also reflected how important communication was to execution of the challenges.
"You have to effectively communicate your expectations," she said. "This is so applicable to business school. If communication isn't clear, team deliverables suffer."
Ravindar Bose, also a first-year student in the Penn State Smeal MBA Program, said that the experience reinforced a number of lessons about leadership and teamwork that he will carry with him back to the classroom and into his future career.
"In learning to control the fire hose, for instance, we learned how important every role on the team is — including how to support the leader. Even as a supporter, you play a key role; whatever your role, you have to support your team."
After completing all six evolutions, students and facilitators gathered together for a discussion led by Battalion Chief John Regan. One of the main points that resonated with students was about the use of schemas — which, of course, they'd already heard a lot about in their MBA classes.
"When you approach a new situation, you build a schema. The next time you approach a similar situation, you tend to use that existing schema," explained Bose.
"The experience took a lot of people out of their comfort zones, and I know some people walked away having done things they never thought they would do."
--Elizabeth Guiley, Class of 2015, Penn State Smeal MBA program
But, Bose continued, you can't get so fixated on your goal that you overlook important information. In a firefighting situation, this might mean looking out for game-changing situations like unexpected victims; in business, it could be a new disruptive technology that might change the course of a product development.
Students said they came away from the Firefighter for a Day Challenge with not only some great lessons about leading and collaboration but also an opportunity for personal growth.
"The experience took a lot of people out of their comfort zones, and I know some people walked away having done things they never thought they would do," said Guiley.
The MBA students' participation in the FDNY Firefighter for a Day Challenge was sponsored by Air Products.

Mokisha's Refit....
22 June 2016
On the right is pics of Mokisha completely torn apart - EVERYTHING is out of the boat. Currently, we are working on the port side. Bulkheads are out, cabinets, counters, etc. We.....or I should say my help is quite limited but Alex & Tom are working 6 days a week on the boat. They are fiberglassing, putting back the bulkheads & then new shelves. I'm trying to find Corian type counters & not being entirely successful. The entire bat will get a fresh coat of paint by the time we are done. In any event, it will be fun to post pics as we progress & things start going back the other way. It seems monumental right now but I think it will be better in a couple of weeks. We are waiting for a box that was sent from California with lots of parts & should arrive in about 10 days - this box is going to help out alot in getting stuff done. Another is on the way as well. Enjoy the pics. It's certainly hot, sweaty & dirty work now but it'll all be worth it!

Boracay, Philippines - Dive Time & R&R
22 June 2016
In order to get to Boracay we had to fly into Caticlan & take a ferry to the island. We were staying at Calypso Dive Resort - a great choice as it was right on the beach with a bar, beach massage & restaurant. Great dive shop too. Rooms were spacious, clean, bright & comfortable.
Boracay's diving was much better & we did 3 dives while there. All the pics are in the gallery to the right. The coral was healthy & we saw lots of sea life including a sea snake that was about 6 ft long. The banka that we dove off of is a typical Filipino boat - they look like humongous spiders. We lucked out & were the only ones diving so our dive master Vincent, we got all to ourselves!
Boracay is also quite touristy but I loved it. Lots of places to hang out & each night was celebrated watching the sunset. We found Coco's Bar & the Obama Grill, & we got pedicures in our beach chairs while hanging on the beach. Life can't get an better! It was good for Tom to get some R&R. We also met up with our shipper (Remy) from California. He is also from the Philippines & was home for vacation but lives in Santa Maria, Ca. He showed us around the island of Panay, his home. Sadly, our time went to fast & we headed back to Samal Island & boat work. All the pics are in the picture gallery - hope you enjoy them. We look forward to the next break when we can get away from the boat for a few days.

Cebu-Mactan Island, Philippines - Time for R&R!
22 June 2016
Hi All -
Just a quick update on what we've been up to -
After arriving in the Philippines, Tom was looking forward to a break as he'd worked about a 45 days without much of break so I went to work looking for some places to go in the Philippines. We decided on Cebu/Mactan Island & Boracay. Both are northwest of us.
We went to Cebu first, about an 1½ hr flight. We splurged & stayed a Costabella's a nicer hotel with a pool, great food & fantastic mojitos! We were only there 3 days but we hung at the pool & beach. Our last day we went diving. Diving wasn't really very good even though it was a marine sanctuary. In fact less than a mile away, fishermen were dynamite fishing & we could feel & hear the dynamite go off. I don't think there's any more disappointing than to know the reef & fish are being killed daily by these fishermen. It's illegal but they do it anyway.
The last day our flight wasn't until 2 pm so we played tourist on the way to the airport.
Remember Ferdinand Magellan from your high school history days? He was the first to circumnavigate the world & discover the Straits of Magellan in the early 1500's. He landed in Cebu, Philippines in 1521 & tried to take over what is now Mactan Island from Lapu-Lapu the local leader of the island. A fierce fight broke out & the spaniards fought with guns while the Filipinos fought with poison arrows. Lapu-Lapu managed to hit Magellan & kill him with his poison arrow. He is credited to saving his people for 60 years before more explorers tried to take Mactan Island again. Both Lapu-Lapu & Magellan have statues & memorials erected in their honor. Interesting because I never remembered any of that from history! While there's tons more to see in Cebu, we got a only a short peek but look forward to returning with Mokisha & spending some time there. You can see the pictures on the picture gallery on the right. Enjoy!
Our next 3 days would be spent in Boracay a much more beachy, touristy island. It too, was only an 1½ hr flight. Hello…...Boracay!

Samal Island, Philippines
31 May 2016 | Samal Island
I arrived in the Philippines on May 18, while Tom came almost a month earlier. The focus is Mokisha & giving her a complete re-fit. So far it's going pretty well. Our worker, Alex is Filipino and Tom pays him $12 a day! That's actually good wage & is higher than some of the other marina workers make. He's also one of the best workers we've ever had. You'll see him in the pics.
As far as the boat goes, everything is out.....and I mean everything! The wood is getting varnished, the bulkheads replaced, the engine has been pulled out & will be repainted, all the combings have been repainted & engine room painted. The fridge is getting new insulation, the rudder has been removed & new rings made for it. Oh, the list goes on and on. We've got a bunch of stuff in 2 big boxes. We also are renting a house that is on top of the hill. It's 3 bedroom, 3 bath. It's really a godsend! It's nice to take a break in the day & come back to air conditioning.
Davao is a city of 1.4 million. The new president of the Philippines, President Duterte, is from Davao. We are on Samal Island which is a 5 minute ferry ride across the water. The only way to the city is by ferry. I've included a map in the pictures of where we are. By the way.....it is HOT here! I forgot how hot & humid it can be. It took me several days to get used to the heat again.
The next blog will be our adventures in Cebu Island & Boracay. We are taking a bit of a break for 7 days & flying to these islands where diving is supposed to be good. I'm going to focus on keeping the blog updated this year - last season I didn't even bother, mostly due to uploading pictures & slow internet. This year I'm going to post the pictures online & I think this might be an easier way for people to see the pictures.
You can see the pictures at:
Hope you enjoy them!
Cheers -
Colleen & Tom

Mokisha & her crew left California in January 2001. Since that time we've explored Mexico, the entire coast of Central America to Panama, often wandering inland to experience the rich cultures and intriguing ancient ruins left from past civilizations.
After enjoying the diverse sights of Panama, we sailed Mokisha to the Galapagos Islands. Our longest sail yet, 10 days! After spending just over thirty days in the Galapagos, we set our sights on Salinas, Ecuador. In 2006 we left Mokisha in Ecuador and backpacked most of South America experiencing sights and people that will stay in our hearts forever. Highlights included Machhu Pichu, Bolivia�s great salt lake and silver mines, the mysterious Easter Island, and a 3,000 mile trip from the mouth of the Amazon River up the river in a cargo boat to Iquitos, Peru. In all, our backpacking adventure lasted eight months trekking thru South America. In 2007, our sailing took us west, first to the Galapagos once again and then twenty-one days across the great Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia. Our first landfall was Nuka Hiva, Marquasas, six months later, with many miles under the keel , we arrived in Riatea, Tahiti. Since then, we have traveled thousand of miles & are currently in the Solomon Islands (2013). We head further west this year to Indonesia and Thailand - follow along our journey thru amazing cultures and fabulous countries of the last real frontier. Tom & Colleen

New Shows at Vered
Vered Gallery in East Hampton has two shows on view in January. The gallery will continue the "Landscape/ Seascape" theme with works by Robert Dash, Wolf Kahn, Thomas Hart Benton, Balcomb Greene, Thomas Moran, and Milton Avery, among others. Mr. Kahn's "Mammoth Vista," a massive autumnal water view from 1992, is the centerpiece of that exhibit.
The gallery also has an installation of modern and contemporary art and vintage photographs. The artists include Larry Rivers, Frank Stella, Milton Avery, Dan Christensen, Hunt Slonem, and Tony Smith.
The photography includes early salt prints from the Crimean War of 1855. Roger Fenton's images of sailing ships, a tented encampment, cattle, and a dizzying array of wharf buildings and commerce in the Balaclava Harbor is a prime example of early photography. Other photographers include Gustave le Gray, Eugene Atget, Lewis Hine, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Man Ray, and Irving Penn. The exhibit is on view through Jan. 25.
Nudes Warm Up the Monkey
The Crazy Monkey Gallery in Amagansett will open its third annual "Salon des Refuses" show tomorrow. The exhibit will feature nude figures, particularly edgy and provocative subjects.
The title refers to the exhibit that Napoleon III called for in 1863 as an alternate to the Paris Salon, which rejected paintings such as Manet's "Déjeuner sur l'Herbe," as being too scandalous.
Artists have been invited to contribute works to the exhibit, so the content is not known in advance, however, the past two exhibits have included revealing and sexually charged works that, although not crude, might be inappropriate for general audiences.
A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
New Year, New Art
Richard Demato Gallery in Sag Harbor will celebrate the new year with an exhibit opening on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.
For those still in the holiday spirit, the gallery will offer champagne and other surprises. One such surprise will be a raffle for patrons who have previously purchased at the gallery, in which the winner will receive a work by one of the gallery artists.
The artists on view will be Xiaolu, Joe Concra, Michael Carson, and Ben Hengst. Xiaolu combines abstract expressionism and figurative style with unnatural color. Mr. Concra paints a world of illusion, fantasy, and possibility, in his words. Mr. Carson's work is primarily figurative with some abstracted elements. He is inspired by architectural interiors and fashion. Mr. Hengst grew up in the theater and is influenced by it in his compositions. "There is always an element of playfulness that runs throughout my work," according to the artist.
Janet Culbertson
In New York City
Accola Grieffen Gallery will show the work of Janet Culbertson, a Shelter Island artist, in an exhibit titled "Possible Peril," beginning next Thursday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. It will remain on view through Feb. 18.
Ms. Culbertson's paintings and drawings are often imbued with a concern for ecology. By mixing mica and iridescent pigments with her paints, the artist simulates the appearance of broken glass, mine tailings, and oil spills. Primates often appear amid these threatening landscapes as poignant reminders of the many species we have threatened in striving for a rich future with little mind to sustainability, according to a press release.
