My brother did all the research on the 3D TVs on the market and decided this was the BEST one available. So I followed his lead and ordered this TV. We could not be any happier with a new TV. It is fabulous. The picture is outstanding. Now I can see the players numbers on their jerseys when watching sports. It is such a pleasure to watch TV. We should have done this a long time ago. In additiion to a great picture, it has wi-fi capability, which is very ncie. You can view your photos you have residing on databases at the various photo sites and you can connect to movie sites, to name a few specifics. This TV is such an improvement over the 36 HD TV we bought in 2001, which had an excellent picture for that vintage TV. We also connected our Bose Cinemate II Series speaker system to the new TV, which greatly improves the sound, makes it easiier to hear conversation over the loud background noisemusic of most shows. Vanns price for this TV was better than our local market and their delivery was on schedule and item arrived in top condition.

Leaders from President Obama to Warren Buffett have stressed the need to educate more American students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields in order to keep America competitive in the global economy. On Friday afternoon, Bergen Community College hosted its first annual Teen STEM Day to offer Northern New Jersey high school students the opportunity to learn about different career paths.
The day-long conference had students attend hands-on workshops which demonstrated how industries use science, technology, engineering and math to answer the needs and demands of daily living.
"Having this conference shows the excellence in STEM subjects that has made American a leader," Dr. Judith Fitzpatrick of Bergen Community College said. Fitzpatrick is the college's Director of Quality Assurance Program in the Division of Math, Science and Technology. "We encourage you to follow and at least explore STEM courses during college. A lot of the time, people stay away from STEM as they think it's only for really smart people. STEM takes hard work, but it's more about working smart and hard because you will need to study more."
According to Fitzpatrick, students who graduate with a STEM degree are more likely to secure employment following graduation and will earn 25% more than their peers with a non-STEM degree.
The conference was co-organized between the college and the Teen STEM Day advisory board. Among the board's founding members are River Dell educators Dr. Chin Chu (chemistry), Dr. Edward Houston (physics/robotics) and Carrie Jacobus (chemistry), Hackensack's Ronald Durso (biology), Dwight Morrow's John Jasinski (technology), Bergenfield's Asst. Principal Rob Ragasa, Hasbrouck Heights Superintendent Dr. Mark Porto, Laurie Francis of the BCC Foundation and Fitzpatrick.
"You are tomorrow's chemists, biologists, physical scientists, engineers and healthcare professionals," Porto said. "But it doesn't matter what you major in. You much be able to think, speak and read clearly to be successful. Math and science only matter as well as you speak or read."
Students from Bergenfield, River Dell, Hasbrouck Heights, Hackensack, Cliffside Park, New Milford, Verona, Fair Lawn, Saddle Brook and the Academies at Dwight Morrow Englewood were able to choose from over thirty seminars.
The high schoolers were able to pilot the college's state of the art flight simulators, handle snakes or learn how to prepare for a vetinary career, learn from professionals from Triangle Manufacturing and Stryker Orthopedics, develop their own computer game, design a building, operate a solar collector, or program a robot to detect objects in their environment and perform simple tasks.

Wild April weather hits area farmers, gardeners
By SCOTT AUST
By SCOTT AUST
April's wacky weather, which swung from temperatures in the 60s and 70s on the weekends to midweek lows in the 20s, played havoc with everyone from backyard gardeners to farmers worried about their wheat crops.
Debbie Wharton, of Wharton's For Every Bloomin' Thing in Garden City, said the cold snap slowed everybody down "big time."
"Nobody wants to have to replant. Blossoms are so important and everybody wants them to be beautiful and blooming right off the bat, and that can't happen if they're frozen," she said.
Wharton said the cold snaps can do some cosmetic damage to things like shrubs and permanent plants, but can freeze annual plants right to the roots if a gardener isn't careful.
Wharton said she normally has a couple of customers who plant too early, but the swings this April slowed down even some of the die-hard gardeners.
"I know of probably two people who have tomatoes out and they're doing well. But they knew how to take care of them. They've got them covered and know how to manage it. It's a matter of managing it," she said. "People will get caught back up and it will be crazy in the month of May and maybe into June."
Weather can be unpredictable, but a good rule of thumb is to wait until after Mother's Day in mid-May to avoid a freeze, she said.
"But you never know. The first year I was in Kansas, in July we had a snow storm, a hail storm, a tornado and blazing heat all within a week. We can have great fluctuations in the temperature, but we're a hardy lot out here. You just keep at it," Wharton said.
Wharton's cold-season crops, like spinach, look good right now despite the cold spring. But gardening is about timing, she said.
"You shouldn't have cucumbers in the ground yet. You shouldn't have peppers or squash. Those are all things that should wait until after Mother's Day. So if you're following the gardening catalog, you're not going to get hit," she said.
The weekly freezes may have more of an impact on local wheat farmers.
Kurt Werth, Gray County Extension agent, said there's bound to be some loss of yield in the area wheat crop, both irrigated and dryland, due to April's several periods of hard freeze, though the extent won't be known until about 10 days after the last freeze event.
But Werth said by a rough, ballpark estimate irrigated crops could see a 20 to 25 percent yield loss while dryland crops push higher, possibly around a 50 percent loss.
"I've never seen three cold snaps like this in the 20 years I've been a county agent. I really don't know how bad the damage is," Werth said. "I'm hoping next week I'll be able to get out in the fields and see how many of the tillers were killed."
Tillers are the growing point of the wheat plant, and the plant can put on several rounds of tillers, though each successive one is smaller with smaller grains, which results in yield reduction.
The swings between warm and cold over the last month will definitely make a difference in the yield, Werth said, because of the stress placed on the plant. When it warms up, the plant "tries to go gangbusters" and grow, then it shuts back down when it freezes.
"We've also had no moisture, so it depletes any reserve it had in the roots," he said, which makes the plant doubly stressed.
"I can't tell you we killed all the wheat, but it (darn) sure knocked the yield back," Werth said.
John Holman, K-State agronomist in Garden City, agreed the freeze has done damage to the wheat crop, but the ongoing drought and lack of moisture continues to be the biggest problem for western Kansas farmers.
"The crop is sure getting kicked around a lot," he said. "This wheat crop is probably one of the worst looking wheat crops we've had in a long time. Everything from freeze damage, drought, a lot of mite damage, wheat streak mosaic. Just a lot of different things are hurting this crop."
Holman said it's a little early to estimate April's impact on wheat yield, but he agreed there will be an impact because the cold has caused crop development to be behind where it should be.
However, Holman believes it may be difficult to tell what's freeze impact and what's drought impact because the drought has been so bad.
"It's going to be hard to detect freeze damage under a poor crop because drought will mask it," he said. "Without water, you just don't have any crop at all."
Werth said April's weather mainly affected the wheat crop, but it could cause delays for planting other crops. Some may have planted some corn, but the plants weren't out of the ground yet so they may not be affected. However, some alfalfa may have been damaged.
"I can't tell you the tonnage loss because alfalfa can take a ding and come back; it just moves harvest back," Werth said. "Usually we start cutting down the first hay by the 15th to 20th of May. It may be close to the end of May before we take that first cutting."
Alan Geier, Garden City parks superintendent, said time will tell what kind of damage has been done to the city's parkland, trees and flowers. He said the biggest concern, as it is for agriculture, is the impact of the extended drought. Because of April's periods of hard freeze, the city wasn't able to use its irrigation system normally.
"April 15 is usually our last hard freeze, but it just kept coming and coming," he said. "We had some record high temperatures and some record low temperatures. The plants think it's time to wake up, it's spring. I would say the big wide swings, pushing 80 then back down to 20, were the hardest."
The biggest concern has been trees. Geier said the drought has caused the loss of many trees, mostly young, non-established ones, despite frequent hand watering during warm spells during the winter. As a result, the city intends to plant about 50 trees in coming weeks.
"The jury's still out (on freeze damage), but I'll know more in mid-May. The redbuds had started blooming and also some of the pear trees. The frost knocked the flowers off so there may not be any fruit or good spring color, but the trees may be okay," he said.
The park's grass areas have some freeze damage at the top in areas that had started to green up, but Geier thinks the parks department may be able to bring those areas back as long as the roots are okay.
"What's looking bad now, with some irrigation, it might surprise us," he said.

Walid Phares was on Fox & Friends this morning, and he had some critical information to share about possible new threats in the United States.
From the Counterterrorism blog:
The US Government seized control last Wednesday of a New York City office building partially owned by a company with ties to the Iranian government. The Treasury and Justice Departments move is aimed to end a flow of cash used to help Iran's program of nuclear weapons. The seizure is raising troubling questions.
The tower, situated on New York's Fifth Avenue, was built by an Iranian non-profit group in the 1970s. Federal officials say that the ownership of the building has evolved in an attempt to hide the stake held by an Iranian state-owned bank. The US alleges that Assa Corporation, which owns the building, is a front for Bank Melli, which facilitates the funding of nuclear materials for the Iranian regime. US authorities say that Bank Melli is involved in the Assa Corp. management of the Fifth Avenue facility. According to reports, rental income was sent back to Iran. But the designation does not interfere with the business and other activities of the tenants of 650 Fifth Avenue. In 2007, the Bush Administration froze Bank Melli's assets in the United States. The FBI seized two Assa's bank accounts holding $3.1 million.

Niagara Gazette

Genevieve Komorowski
Niagara Gazette
Genevieve (Kaminski) Komorowski who coordinated the personnel office of the Niagara Falls School District for nearly 35 years, passed away on Friday, November 23, 2012, following a brief illness. She had turned 92 the day before she entered the hospital.
Genevieve, a familiar face for years at the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center gift shop where she volunteered every Friday morning, was the third of four daughters of Michal and Mary (Sokolowski) Kaminski of Royal Avenue. She attended local schools and graduated from Niagara Falls High School. Her first job was in the business office of the S.S. Kressge Department Store before the onslaught of urban renewal. Although she never obtained a formal college degree, she received certification from the Empire State program for her professional experience with the school board. Despite not having finished college, she valued higher education as an essential accomplishment in life and stressed that value to her children and grandchildren.
She started her board career as the secretary to Principal Geraldine Mann at 17th St. School. Through hard work and high scores on exams, she transferred to the district administrative office in staff personnel and became confidential secretary to Dr. Vincent Loretto. Serving under at least a half-dozen superintendents, she helped steer the department through numerous program and policy changes and several controversial years. Still, she managed to keep herself above the petty politics all those years and remained loyal to her employer. She was a firm believer in maintaining professionalism. Genevieve was well-known as a friend and reliable personnel source to teachers and administrators alike. Even after her retirement in 1995, she continued to get calls at home from her former office and many employees for advice on procedures, benefits, contract items and records. They knew to call her because she was the impeachable source for answers and accuracy. In 1988, she was selected as the first non-instructional employee in the history of the school district. The plaque still hangs in her home.
Genevieve married Thaddeus Ted Komorowski in 1941. They moved to Cayuga Island in 1952 and lived together until he passed in 1989. During his last years, he became disabled. She continued to provide care for him at home while working full-time, running the household and raising her two boys. Along with her years in the gift shop, she continued to stay active as a member and officer of various organizations and groups such as the St. Theresa's Travel Group, the Niagara Womens Club, the local Republican Party, the Retirees Breakfast Club, a Cub Scout den mother and the Niagara Falls Professional Secretaries Group as well as belonging to the parish of St. John de LaSalle. Never one to sit still, she participated in several athletic groups such as the Rapids Retired Mixed Bowling League, women's lawn bowling at Hyde Park, a women's golf league and loved to hit the links with her son, Thad. Even this year she still attended exercise classes with the seniors group at the adult education center. Through these groups or with her family, she loved to attend theatrical performances, concerts and civic functions. Her curiosity in intellectual pursuits included going to all the latest films and reading novels by Danielle Steel and John Grisham as well as many contemporary biographies. Until her death she regularly read two newspapers a day and completed the daily crossword puzzle. No stranger to the casino, she visited often with her roommate and grand-daughter, Genna, and always found the time and energy to shop at the Prime Outlet, Boulevard Mall, and Galleria or wherever the action was. Despite her age she managed to drive safely until her death. In recent years, her grand-daughter Genna returned from California to live with her on Griffon Ave. and share many Thelma and Louise adventures in the area whether at the casino, a mall, or in Canada.
She frequently confided that living with her granddaughter was one of the best decisions she ever made and gave her life a renewed sense of fulfillment. All her grandchildren were a great source of pride for her and she frequently bragged about their accomplishments to everyone she met. She was a devoted grandmother who always was there to assist with rides, meals, money and love for her grandchildren, no matter what age or location. Regardless of the task, she always smiled and said it makes me feel needed. Her love also extended to animals, including her cats, Luis and Honeybun, and all the birds, squirrels and rabbits that congregated near her side door to eat the peanuts she tossed to them everyday. This year she traveled to two monumental events: the graduation of her grandson, Thad, from Ithaca College; and the wedding of her granddaughter, Michelle, in Erie, PA. Her heartfelt compassion was never exclusive to her family and friends but was extended to numerous charities and organizations through monetary contributions despite her limited income. She was especially partial to the Native American Children of the Southwest.
She is survived by her sons, Michael Komo of Erie, PA, and Thad (Vickie) Komorowski of Niagara Falls, NY; her grandchildren, Michelle (Matt) Bluman of Walkersville, MD, Michael R. Komo of Washington, DC, Thaddeus Komorowski III and Genna Komorowski, both of Niagara Falls, NY and Valerie Komo of Erie. Her dear sister, Rose Kelley of Roseville, MN; and numerous nephews and nieces. Besides her parents; and husband, she was predeceased this year by her sister, Jean Zarr of Albuquerque, NM, formerly of Niagara Falls; and several years ago by Helene Litsios of New York City.
Friends may call on Thursday, November 29th from 4-8 PM at ZAJAC FUNERAL HOME, INC., 319-24th St., cor. Welch Ave., Niagara Falls, NY. A Memorial Mass will take place at 9:00 AM on Friday, November 30th at St. John de LaSalle Church 8477 Buffalo Ave. PLEASE ASSEMBLE AT CHURCH. Entombment in Gate of Heaven Cemetery Lewiston, NY, will follow. Donations in her memory may be made to the Southwest Indian Children's Fund or a charity of ones choice.

A Milford Mill health care business will pay nearly $160,000 in restitution and penalties to the Maryland Medicaid program after submitting false claims.
The case against All About You Health Care Services was filed in February 2012 by state Attorney General Doug Gansler, according to a news release Monday from Gansler's office. The settlement was reached during mediation ordered by the Circuit Court for Baltimore County.
"The investigation showed that services were done without adequate medical supervision in violation of Maryland Medicaid regulations," the release states.
All About You Health Services, located at 3527 North Rolling Road, Suite 225, provides home health and nursing services to homes, hospitals, assisted living and long-term care facilities.
The business also billed for services that were given outside of Medicaid regulations, the release states.
"Additionally, All About You allowed services to be provided by a home health care aide who resided with a patient in violation of applicable requirements," it states.

Kwaak3 Ports Quake3 to Android
IPhones and Nokia's N900 already have Quake3 versions. What could be more appropriate than a version of the shooter game for Android? The first release is now available to be downloaded.
As so often occurs with open source projects, the Quake3 port to Android was motivated by a developer acquiring new hardware. In this case it was user alias thunderbird2k who got a Motorola Milestone as a gift. He took one look at the Quake3 port for the N900 and quickly set himself upon reworking it for his Android mobile phone.
The result is a ready-made Android app, Kwaak3, available for download from the project page. Prerequisites for the shooter classic are Android as of version 1.6 and a minimum 256 MBytes RAM. The game is optimized for devices with a keyboard, with future work to be done on those without.

NEW YORK — In 1985, a year after the Cold War thriller "The Hunt for Red October" came out, author Tom Clancy was invited to lunch at the Reagan White House, where he was questioned by Navy Secretary John Lehman.
Who, the secretary wanted to know, gave Clancy access to all that secret material?
Clancy, the best-selling novelist who died Tuesday in Baltimore at 66, insisted then, and after, that his information was strictly unclassified: books, interviews and papers that were easily obtained. Also, two submarine officers reviewed the final manuscript.
In an interview with The New York Times in 1987, he explained that unclassified information can lead to insights about state secrets.
"One of the reasons we are so successful is that we have a free society with open access to information," he said. "If you change that, if you try to close off the channels of information, we'll end up just like the Russians, and their society does not work. The best way to turn America into another Russia is to emulate their methods of handling information."
Government officials may have worried how Clancy knew that a Russian submarine spent only about 15 percent of its time at sea or how many SS-N-20 Seahawk missiles it carried.
But his extreme attention to technical detail and accuracy earned him respect inside the intelligence community and beyond and helped make Clancy the most widely read and influential military novelist of his time, one who seemed to capture a shift in the country's mood away from the CIA misdeeds that were exposed in the 1970s to the heroic feats of Clancy's most famous creation, CIA analyst Jack Ryan.

Iowa Governor Terry Branstad vetoed a measure that would have allowed gamblers to decide how long they wanted to ban themselves from casinos.
The bill would have given gamblers the option of banning themselves from the states casinos and Iowa lottery for either five years or life.; Current Iowa law only permits a lifetime ban.
Branstad says he made the decision based off gambling treatment experts,who say gambling addiction is a lifelong problem, making Iowa's lifetime only ban the best option.

Tuition at Model Laboratory School will rise by $500 this year and another $500 next year.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Eastern Kentucky University regents adopted the administration's tuition recommendations that its finance committee had endorsed in a morning meeting.
The tuition hikes will generate about $330,000 in revenue for Model, Karen Neubauer of the EKU budget office told the finance committee. That would equal about one-fourth of the $1.2 million the university contributed to Model's operation this year.
Model's full-year tuition rates for 2012-2013 were:
Asked if adopting a Model tuition rate for the coming school year indicated the regents would not move to close the state's last remaining university-operated laboratory school, regents chair Craig Turner said it did.
Also, incoming president Michael Benson plans to enroll his children at Model, Turner said, further indicating the school will remain open.
Model is "an important element" of the university, but it, as will all EKU operations be subject to continued review.
The regents have set a goal of reducing the university budget by 10 percent, or $23 million, and created a task force to review all university programs in search of cuts.
That had prompted some to fear Model would be a target for elimination as an easy way of cutting expenses by more than $1 million.
A report from the task force was on the regents' as well as the finance committee's agenda Tuesday, but the committee heard no report, because the report was best heard by the full board, said committee chair Janet Craig,.
Task force co-chair Janna Vice gave only a relatively brief statement when she addressed the board.
Although the regents have received copies of the task forces recommendation, Turner said more input is needed from the new president to assure that reallocations being considered "don't conflict with the direction (Benson) wants to go."
The reallocation will be an on-going process that may not be fully implemented for up to 24 months, he said.
Even after the current review is completed, Turner said he hopes the university will continually review and justify all of its operations.

Wednesday marks the start of the Games of the XXX Olympiad, as women's soccer competition will get underway. There are six games on tap, the first having the host team Great Britain take on New Zealand. About an hour later, the World Cup champions from Japan will take on Canada and the U.S. will face France. The U.S., ranked No. 1 in the world, takes on the sixth-ranked French in the toughest match of the day.
By comparison, the other match-ups:
GBR (England is #9 - GBR does not rank) v NZL (#23)
Brazil (#5) v Cameroon (#50)
Japan (#3) v Canada (#7)
Sweden (#4) v South Africa (#61)
USA (#1) v France (#6)
Columbia (#28) v North Korea (#8)
You may notice that four of the 12 teams are outside the top 20, while No. 2 & No. 10-20 are not in London.
A couple of reasons explain this. First, Europe was allocated as many spots in the field as Africa, despite the fact that the best African team according to soccer's governing body FIFA's rankings is Nigeria at No. 27, with sixteen European teams ranking higher.
To compound this, Europe was the only zone without a qualifying tournament. They chose to take the two best finishers in the 2011 FIFA World Cup. When the second seeded German team were upset by Japan in the quarterfinals, they were out as Sweden and France went through. Germany was denied a European spot despite the fact that they did not lost to a European squad.
Australia participated in the Asian qualifying, finishing third behind Japan and North Korea. That left New Zealand an easy road through the Oceania Qualifying Tournament, downing Papua New Guinea 8-0 and 7-0.
The other problem is that the women's tournament has 12 teams, while the men have 16. The growing depth in the women's game should justify four more teams. This would also help grow the game with increased exposure during the Olympics. The men have three spots for European teams, all competing in their own tournament.
Today the U.S. has a very tough early test against a medal contender. In the long run, the toughest team in the world, Germany, is not here. The U.S. is the favorite for the gold, another Japanese victory would be another big upset.

Extracurricular Activities and Sports Won't Be Hurt by Starting School Later; In Fact, It Will Get Better!!!
Start School Later as a group is asking Howard County to open all schools after 8:00am. Please sign our petition if you agree: http://tinyurl.com/sslhoco I've written before that I'd love to see high schools in Howard County start after 8:30. Actually, I'd like to see this done across the state and the US. It just makes sense for our kids. One of the most common objections to starting school later is that the later times will interfere with extracurricular activities and sports. This simple does not have to be true.
The easiest way to address after school activities is to simply push them back. In Howard County, starting at 8:30 would mean pushing sports back by 60 minutes. Other school systems that have done this have not shown any problems. In fact, many showed improvements! Kids show fewer injuries and homework takes less time! How is that even possible you might ask? The answer is that not only does starting school later help grades, behavior, and attendance; it also helps decrease sports injuries while decreasing the time needed to do homework because kids are more effective when they are not chronically sleepy.
The American Academy of Pediatrics released a study showing "Adolescent athletes who slept eight or more hours each night were 68 percent less likely to be injured than athletes who regularly slept less" (Lack of Sleep Tied to Teen Sports Injuries, American Academy of Pediatrics, www.AAP.org, October 21, 2012) Let me state that again! Kids who get enough sleep are 68% less likely to get injured! This is significant. Another study looking at the effects of sleep on college basketball players demonstrated that "peak performance can only occur when an athlete's overall sleep and sleep habits are optimal" (Sleep, Effect of Sleep Extensions on Athletic Performance; Vol 34, No. 7. 2011) This study had shown improvements in shooting percentages, improved reaction times, faster sprint times, decreased fatigue, improved vigor, and an improvement in mood. These two studies show results typical of multiple other studies demonstrating the advantages allowing our kids to get the sleep they need.
Think about it, allowing our kids to go to school after getting a good night's sleep can be done for free, it can improve school performance while decreasing mood issues like depression and anxiety. We already know kids who get enough sleep are tardy less often and miss fewer days of school. They also go to the health room less often during the day but apparently they will also go to the nurse less after school because they are less likely to get hurt – 68% less likely! That really is a big number touted by our kid doctors (pediatricians). On top of all this, they will do better at sports! What are we waiting for?
Encourage the Howard County Board of Education to officially recognize the large and compelling body of research regarding teen sleep and academic achievement, and, with a resolution, to set a goal to start all schools in Howard County, MD, after 8:00 AM. Sing our petition at http://tinyurl.com/sslhoco
Yours in Service,

June 23, 2005
The Charlottesville School Board is getting help from the community before hiring a new superintendent.
The School Board Advisory Commission, made up of educators and business people met tonight to recommend qualifications for the candidates and processes for the search.
The committee created a timeline--allowing the public to voice comments in late August, begin screening applicants in September, and having two rounds of interviews before they offer a position in early November. However, the hire will not likely be announced until December.
"We want to make sure that this person has a strong education background, works well with people, is a good leader--a proven leader really, but he has to be someone who really knows education," said Rauzelle Smith of the Advisory Committee.
They will also suggest a community panel sit-in at least one round of interviews, to give the public a voice. The recommendations will be presented to the School Board on July 7th.

OREGON CITY, Ore. -- An Oregon City man claims the state has denied him a driver's license for the past seven years. His driving record is clean, but if he gets behind the wheel, he's likely to get arrested.
His name is James Alan Redmond and he's owned a van for years. The problem is: He hasn't been able to legally drive it for a long time.
"Seven years," he says. "Seven years."
It's been a long road for James, unable to get a driver's license for the past seven years. "I'm hoping someone out there might listen, like the DMV people," he says, "and do something about it. It's time. Seven years is a long time to take a man's license away."
James is not a menace, a reckless driver, a repeat offender or a danger to others on the roadway. His driving record is clean in Oregon. Right now, his girlfriend drives him everywhere he goes, but that's getting more difficult.
"She's got scoliosis and Graves disease," James tells Unit 8. "She's got a lot of medical issues and I need to start driving."
So the question is, why can't James get a license?
KGW traveled to the Department of Motor Vehicles headquarters in Salem, and the state of Oregon says James can't get a license here because he has an outstanding violation in Massachusetts. The problem is, James has never been to Massachusetts.
DMV spokesman David House says, "In Oregon, he has valid driving privileges, but he does show up in Massachusetts for failure to appear, failure to comply."
And that is true. Unit 8 discovered copies of tickets dated more than 23 years ago. In Boston, it lists James Redmond as the defendant, with a Long Island, N.Y. address. It lists the violator as 5-foot-2; James is actually 5-foot-7. The ticket also says the violator was born on April 4, 1960; James was actually born April 9.
So we asked him, "When was the last time you were in New York?" He answered, "I was never in New York." Then we asked him, "When was the last time you were in Massachusetts?" He responded, "I was never there, I've been in Oregon all my life."
Unit 8 took James' evidence to the DMV headquarters in Salem, and they got right to work. Hoping to put his seven-year detour on the fast track.
"If we don't think you're the same person, and you're not suspended in Oregon, then we can issue you a driver's license," said House.
"Feels great, it's been a long road," James replied.
As for the time frame of when James could get back on the road legally, House says, "If he's already got some of these documents in hand, we could set-up an appointment pretty quickly just to meet with a manager at a local DMV office, so it could happen pretty quickly."
The Oregon DMV office assigned a case manager to meet with James at a local DMV office. They say his driving privileges are valid in Oregon and if they determine he is not the man with the outstanding violations in Massachusetts, they will issue him a license in a matter of days.

I made these into little tartlets for a party appetizer. I cut the pie crust into little circles with a cookie cutter, and pressed them into my muffin pan. I put the sauteed onions in the cups and poured the egg to about half-full. I put the crumbled bacon on top before baking. They were really delicious. Everybody asked for the recipe.
I made this tart for two people - both of whom had never eaten an onion tart. Each said it tasted good and wasn't too onion-y as one might expect from eating a bunch of onions in a pie crust. (Even my three-year-old ate a sizeable piece of this.) One commented that he might like to have more bacon in the recipe (but that might be because was was inclined toward more meat in a dish). As for the recipe, I was concerned that there wasn't enough egg (I think I was expecting something more quiche-like), but in the end, everything seemed to go together quite well - meaning this recipe works. If you like onion tart, I think this recipe will suit you.
Very tasty but a more work than the recipe implies. Between frying the bacon, sauteeing the onions (you will want them almost carmelized, so it takes around 30 minutes), pre-baking the shell and everything, this recipe takes a few hours. The first time I made this, I took one of the previous reviwers suggestions and cut the pie crusts into little tartlets and pressed into muffin pans. If you do this, use non-stick spray, as 1/2 of mine broke apart trying to extract them from the pan. I also used one extra egg since mine were very small, but I think you should stick to 2 small eggs or the tart won't be flat enough. (It is not supposed to be fluffy like a quiche.) And I wasn't sure how much of the mixture to put in the shell either; I'm guessing 1/2 full. Also, if you don't want your pie shell to be too moist/soft, prick the shell on the sides and bottom before baking, and brush a light egg wash on before pre-cooking it. Finally, I suggest slicing your onions very thin, and use the sweet yellow variety.

The Ada News
Ada —
Thanks to some alert kids playing ball in an apartment parking lot on Saturday, Ada Police Department is in possession of a stolen ATM machine.
Whether it's the same ATM that was stolen in a swift and daring theft from an Ada Walgreens store in the early morning hours of Dec. 21 remained unclear as of Monday.
A manager at the Walgreens store on Arlington Street declined to comment on the discovery, referring a reporter to an 800 number to corporate headquarters.
As of press time, no one at that number had returned calls from The Ada News.
The damaged ATM was recovered in a ravine near South Mississippi and the Sleepy Hollow Apartments.
According to police reports, two youths were playing with a round rubber ball when it rolled into the ravine.
When the kids went after it, they saw that an ATM machine had been left there. There was also a van which had been parked in that area for several weeks.
According to witnesses, at first the van was seen with one of its doors still open. Later, the door was closed and the van appeared to have been moved.
Further investigation showed the van to have been stolen in Ardmore. An address on the ATM machine was also from Ardmore.
ATMs at several stores in southern Oklahoma had been reported stolen in recent weeks.
While this was obviously one of them, as of Monday it hadn't been identified as the Ada ATM taken from the drug store.
That heist, some of which was captured on video tape, showed at least two individuals with their faces covered prying open a glass door, lassoing the ATM with a heavy chain and pulling its bolts out of the floor. Afterward, it was believed to have been loaded into a vehicle.
That part wasn't captured by the store's video equipment.
The heist, from beginning to end, lasted only about 45 seconds.
In the surveillance video, one of the suspects — wearing a mask and gloves — entered the store and appeared to wrap a chain around the ATM.
The suspect then exited the store and moments later, the ATM bolts were pulled out of the floor and the machine was yanked through the front doors.
An undisclosed amount of money was in the machine at the time of the theft.

Back to Africa: A.D. 1001 to 1100
This was a period of building in the Lasta Kingdom of Ethiopia, with imported Egyptian artisans and materials for church construction. One of the greatest of the Lasta Zagwe kings was Lalibela, who came to power in 1195. Ethiopian records of this era were not kept indefinitely because later dominant dynasties considered the Zagwe an "usurping" one. (Ref. 270) The cathedral built about A.D. 700 in Qasr Ibrim, Nubia, was originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but after a raid in 1172-1173 by Shams ed-Dowla, brother of Saladin, it was converted into a mosque. Its ruins remain today as a small island in Lake Nasser. (Ref. 271)
The death throes of the Fatimid caliphate came about not by Christian Crusaders but by the expansion of Nureddin and his Zangid Sultanate from Syria. Nureddin continued to live at Mosul and let Egypt be ruled by a Kurdish general, Saladin, who then proceeded to set up his own Ayyubid Dynasty in 1174. Islam glorified in the integrity and justice of his rule and even Christendom acknowledged him as a gentleman and scholar, even though a foe. At his death in 1193 his realm again became divided. (Ref. 137, 83)
The Norman, Roger of Sicily, annexed the Zirid Emirate of Tunisia about 1153, but as Saladin took over Egypt, a Shi'ite empire was created farther west by a Berber tribe led by another supposed "Mahdi" and this Almohade Dynasty1 replaced the Almoravids and gave Barbary its finest hour. They defeated the remaining Zirids and finally even ran the Normans from Tunisia. (Ref. 137, 83)
The Tellem people continued to flourish in Mali. Men wore robes made of cotton strips sewn together, with waistbands or leather aprons and cotton caps. The women wore short fiber aprons, occasionally with the front pulled back between the legs to fasten to a waistband behind. They had leather sandals decorated with incised geometric designs, leather bags and knife sheaths. Personal ornamentation included beads, iron, wood or bronze pendants, iron and leather bracelets and cylindrical quartz plugs worn in noses or ears of both sexes.
Ife, a kingdom south of Nok (Nigeria), flourished from 1100 to 1500 and produced the greatest artistic creations of tropical Africa. Ife bronzes were cast by the "lost wax" process which is still in use for some purposes today. (Ref. 175) Timbuktu was a trade center of this century, servicing the empires of Manding and Songhoy. Great stone buildings were erected in Great Zimbabwe as the Shona people made it the capital of their powerful state. (Ref. 8, 35) (Please also see the 15th century C.E. where there is a summary of several centuries of activity in this part of Africa).
Forward to Africa: A.D. 1201 to 1300

WASHINGTON — Even with automatic spending cuts looming, the outlook for the U.S. economy brightened a bit Tuesday after reports showed that Americans are more confident and are buying more new homes.
Home prices also are rising steadily, and banks are lending more.
Such improvements suggest that the economy is resilient enough to withstand the deep government cuts that will kick in Friday.
That's especially encouraging because uncertainty over the federal budget could persist for months.
"The stars are lining up for stronger private-sector growth this year," said Craig Alexander, chief economist at TD Bank.
Sales of new homes jumped nearly 16 percent in January to their highest level in 41/2; years, adding momentum to the housing recovery. Consumer confidence rose in February after three months of declines. And home prices increased in December from the same month in 2011 by the largest amount in more than six years.
Consumers still face numerous burdens. Among them is a sharp increase in gas prices. The national average for a gallon, $3.78, has surged 44 cents in a month. But growth should accelerate later. Several reports Tuesday suggest that the economy's underlying health is improving despite the prospect of lower government spending and further budget stalemates:
New homes have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to data from the National Association of Homebuilders.
Construction hiring has picked up in recent months. The industry has gained 98,000 jobs since September, its best stretch since the spring of 2006 — before the housing bubble burst.

Russia may start getting into the global positioning system business.
As it turns out, Russians have been pretty satellite savvy for years. While the United States was heading for the moon, the former U.S.S.R. was launching global positioning satellites similar to the ones the Western World has been using for GPS readings for years.
