|Delusion in death by Robb, J. D., 1950-
Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things like monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics gives its report, the mass delusions make more sense: It appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive anyone to temporary insanity, if not kill them outright. And if Eve can't figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere.

"48-year-old Nantucketer Dabney Kimball Beech has always had a gift for matchmaking.

As I write this, Niagara River Greenway officials are in Grand Island discussing five projects aimed at studying or improving public access to the Niagara River.
But unlike most projects that appear before the Greenway board, all five projects have a decidedly Buffalo and Erie County flavor.
Three involve the industrial heritage of Buffalo's Old First Ward, specifically the Silo City grain elevator area and the historic Edward M. Cotter fire boat. Another includes waterfront landscaping in the Town of Tonawanda, while the last is a study of the types of fish swimming along the river from Buffalo to Grand Island.
All the projects are seeking funds from the Greenway commission, which was created to guide the development of a greenbelt along the river's edge. Commissioners will determine at 3 p.m. whether the projects align with the Greenway's vision, while another board will later determine funding for the projects.
To project proposals -- in their entirety -- can be viewed by clicking on this link.

Just got back from a book party for Doug Bandow's new book, "Foreign Follies: America's New Global Empire."
The book's synopsis is as follows:
The U.S. once was a traditional republic, remaining aloof from foreign conflicts. Today there is no problem on earth with which Washington is not concerned. The result is an oversize military, perpetual intervention, and constant conflict. September 11 demonstrated that Washington's enemies could strike America at home. Iraq shows how even great power does not ensure international success. It's time for a new foreign policy. The U.S. should be engaged in the world, trading for economic advantage, maintaining friendly political relations, sampling foreign cultures, and accepting persecuted peoples. But military action should be a last resort. Costly and destructive, war is ill-adapted to shape liberal societies. Its prosecution undermines liberties at home. Moreover, in an age of terrorism intervention encourages more, and more deadly, attacks on America. Doing less will leave a messy world. But it will be messy irrespective of the pretensions of would-be peacemakers and nation-builders. America's first priority should be to build a stable, safe, and prosperous republic at home. Such a society requires peace as well as free markets.
Even if you don't agree with everything Bandow says, this book will make you think. He addresses misappropriation of government funding & abuse of power and effortlessly explains the link between unnecessary intervention by the United States and the threat of terrorism.
Pick-up "Foreign Follies: America's New Global Empire" here.

I had a very instructive conversation with a friend from Northumberland last night. She's an older woman, in her 90s, and she told me that, after watching the Obama-Romney debate, she had decided to vote for Romney.
Romney sounded, she explained, as if he is willing to work with Democrats to find solutions to our problems. Her tacit implication was that Obama has not been willing to work with Republicans. So I pointed out that Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders have openly proclaimed that their top priority is to prevent Obama from being reelected, and their obvious strategy has been to 1) oppose virtually everything he proposes or supports, 2) accuse him of being unwilling to work with them, and 3) blame him for not getting anything done. That seemed to be news to my friend. "I just haven't been watching," she conceded.
My friend then mentioned that she strongly disliked the Tea Party influence on the Republican Party -- to the extent that she no longer considers herself a Republican. "But you're going to vote for them?" I asked. No, she is going to vote for Romney as an individual, she explained, not for the party. So I asked if she had watched the Republican primary debates, in which Romney tried so hard to paint himself as a Tea Party conservative. No, she hadn't watched them, she admitted.
How many other voters "just haven't been watching?" How many voters, unaware of Romney's previously stated positions, were charmed by his moderate message and tone in the debate? How many will vote for him, never realizing that, by so doing, they are justifying the self-serving partisanship and Tea Party extremism they so dislike?

---- — DANVILLE — There's a little more bark and bite in the animal control officer's race.
Selectman and police Officer Michelle Cooper is a candidate for the one-year position sought by former animal control officer Sheila Johannesen.
It's the same job Cooper and fellow selectmen have asked voters to eliminate when they go to the polls in March. Residents reviewed that proposal and other warrants articles during the town's deliberative session Saturday. The animal control article was not amended.
Johannesen has accused Cooper, a former assistant animal control officer, of opposing the elected position because she served citations to her a couple of times when Cooper's dogs ran loose.
Johannesen said she was surprised to hear Cooper was seeking the job.
"She's running, but she's the one who put in on the ballot to get rid of it," Johannesen said. "Why would one who wanted to get rid of the position be the one running for it?"
She said Cooper has a conflict of interest because she works for the police department.
"If she is on duty as a police officer, how is that going to work?" Johannesen asked. "I can't see this not being a conflict of interest."
But Cooper said her decision to run is not a personal attack against Johannesen.
"It has nothing do with her," Cooper said.
Selectmen did away with the post in 2011. It was a move Johannesen, who held the job for seven years, characterized as an act of vengeance. Danville now contracts with Plaistow for animal control services; Johannesen is an animal control officer in Hampstead.
Johannesen and Selectmen's Chairman Shawn O'Neil often clashed over the animal control budget. Cooper, who was not a selectman at the time, served as the assistant animal control officer for two years.
Johannesen has claimed O'Neil had a "personal vendetta" against her, which he denies. O'Neil said the town saves thousands of dollars a year by contracting out its animal control services.
Last year, Johannesen launched a citizen petition that called for the position's reinstatement. Residents voted, 418-263, in March 2012 to restore the part-time job.
Although Cooper said she has nothing personal against her, Johannesen would not have the authority to be an effective animal control officer if elected, she said.
The new animal control position, as created, does not give the officer the right to legally issue summonses to people whose pets are running loose or violating the law, Cooper said.
"You can't do it by citizen petition," she said. "She had that authority before because she was appointed every year."
As a police officer, Cooper said, she has that authority.
If elected, Johannesen would only have the power to pick up loose pets and not fine their owners, according to Cooper.
"I just think it's silly if we have an elected position and the person has no job," Cooper said.
Cooper has said previously that officers can draft arrest warrants and complaints while a typical animal control officer cannot. A police officer can put down an injured animal, but an animal control officer doesn't have that authority, Cooper said.
O'Neil said he supports continuing to contract with Plaistow for animal control services, as does police Chief Wade Parsons.
Plaistow's animal control officer, Brian Farrell, is also a certified police officer.
O'Neil told voters Saturday that the animal control budget has dropped from about $12,000 when Johannesen held the position to about $4,500 this year.
He has said in the past the animal control budget soared when Johannesen worked for the town, partly because she was responding to wildlife calls the state Fish and Game Department should have handled. Those included calls involving raccoons and skunks.
Johannesen said if Danville doesn't have its own animal control officer, it would miss out on thousands of dollars in dog licensing fees and fines that she used to collect.

Connecticut's budget deficit is increasing, taking a perilous plunge on Friday that is pushing it toward the $300 million mark, the Connecticut Mirror reports.
While the website questions whether the deficit will force Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to increase taxes — again — to cover continued budget shortfalls, Malloy last week said he would not hike state taxes, according to the Republican-American newspaper.
The growing state budget deficit, the Mirror reports, is the result of revenue shortfalls that are greater than Malloy administration officials originally anticipated. Officials in his administration blame the shortfalls on the overall weakness of the national economy. State Republican leaders, however, lay the blame on the weakening effect on the state's economy of the $1.5 million in new taxes the Malloy administration implemented in the last year.
Malloy will present his new budget plan to the General Assembly when it meets in early 2013.

The drenching rain from Wednesday night resulted in several road closures in Central Virginia.
The driver of one van got stuck in flood waters along Proffit Road in Albemarle County, not far from Route 20.
VDOT posted road closure signs, forcing drivers to find detours.
Flooding was reported on numerous roads in the area, and even forced a 2-hour school delay in Culpeper County for Thursaday morning.

A hundered and three degrees today, then 99, then a balmy 101 for the Hyde Park Blast on Saturday, then 99, 98 and a cool 96. Whoo-eee. For point of comparison, today's forecast for Death Valley, Calif. — site of next month's Badwater Ultramarathon, in which Cincinnati's Harvey Lewis will be competing — calls for a "mere" 94 degrees today.
In other words, right now we can't see the finish line to this extreme hot stretch. So what can we do about it? Well, as for running itself, there's lots of advice. There's this and this most recently, this. And there's also this, particularly as you line up at Hyde Park Square on Saturday: This isn't going to be your PR. Not on race day, not on training day. These aren't going to be stellar runs for the next week, at least. Any running you do is to the good.
In other words, you not only have permission to slack off, it's practically mandatory. Also mandatory: Staying hydrated, out of the sun as much as possible and safe.
Meantime, please share your extreme-heat running advice — or even vent about how brutal your day's run was — on our Facebook page or by e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com

How to Donate to Charity, for Free
8 ways to be generous without spending more
A recession might seem like a strange time to become a do-gooder. With plenty of constraints on your own budget, helping others is probably the last priority on your to-do list. But charities need more help than ever because there are more people in need and also because consumers tend to reduce their own giving by about 2.7 percent during long recessions, according to the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. (The average household typically gives about $2,247 a year.)
Besides, being charitable doesn't necessarily meaning forking over cash: It also includes volunteer work, blood donation, and even signing up to be an organ donor. Here are eight ways to donate to charity—without spending any more money than you already are.
Develop a plan. Many of us give haphazardly throughout the year, donating $30 for a friend's walkathon and $100 at a school auction. But Lisa Endlich, author of Be the Change, says that's a mistake. "It doesn't make you an effective giver. You don't know how the giving is being used, and it's not something that's integral and important to you," she says. "People do their best giving when they focus on what matters to them the most."
Instead, Endlich recommends that people ask themselves what one or two things matter most to them and what will affect others most. Inspiration can come from almost anywhere, including movies, a conversation with friends, or a magazine article. When you give to those priorities, you won't spend any more money than you already did throughout the year, but it will be in a way that better reflects your values.
[For more, read In a Recession, It Pays to Give More.]
Learn everything you can about your chosen cause. Bill Gates recently shared this advice for would-be philanthropists with the New York Times: "The key thing is to pick a cause, whether it's crops or diseases or great high schools.... Pick one, and get some more in-depth knowledge" by traveling, reading, or volunteering. Studying up on your cause doesn't need to cost much money, but it will make you a more informed—and more effective—giver.
Give of yourself—literally. Gretchen Rubin, creator of a blog called the Happiness Project blog and author of a forthcoming book by the same name, says that signing up to be an organ donor or giving blood can boost your own mood, especially in a recession. "If you're feeling impoverished . . . a way to counteract that feeling is to do something generous," she says. It's a way of convincing yourself that you have something to give, adds Rubin.
Start planning for the holidays now. Local organizations often arrange gift drives. In Northern Virginia, for example, the Alexandria Department of Human Services connects local givers with families in need of assistance. Instead of doubling your own shopping bill, talk with family members about putting the money you would have spent on each other toward gifts for a family in need. To make the decision even more affordable, join up with friends to share the cost of gifts.
Give time. Volunteering at a hospital, making dinner for a sick person, or working in a soup kitchen all are ways to donate your resources, and they don't cost much. To make it more fun—and even more affordable—sign up with a friend.
Make sure your money is being used wisely. If you do decide to donate money, you want to be sure it's being spent wisely. One helpful site is Charity Navigator. Just type in the name of the organization and see what pops up.
Clean out your closet. Many nonprofits and shelters are constantly looking for used books, clothes, CDs, and other items. Spending a few hours cleaning out your house could result in several bags of goodies—and you'll have a cleaner house.
Find power in numbers. Lisa Philp, head of philanthropic services at JPMorgan Private Bank, says women in particular often enjoy working together to fund projects. You don't necessarily give more than you would have otherwise, but you generate more leverage. Giving circles, where a group of people pools money and jointly decides where to put it, are one way to do that. Philp participates in one in New York that focuses on supporting projects or organizations led by Asian-American women.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — City commissioners will cast about for grant funds to design a public fishing pier in what some area anglers consider a mostly fish-free zone.
Commissioners authorized city staff to apply to the Great Lakes Fisheries Trust and other sources for funds to design a 15-foot-wide multi-use pier that projects 550 feet into West Bay. The city wants to locate the pier at the western shore of the Boardman River as phase II of its bayfront redevelopment.
Area fisherman argued the shallow, sandy bottom near the river mouth won't hold fish in the summer.
"There's just nothing to fish for there," said Tim Brendel, captain of the charter fishing boat Dancing Bear.
People can fish for salmon and steelhead in the spring and fall as the fish head up river, but several fishermen said they will have a hard time finding fish in the summer.
"I think we want a fishing pier for kids and grandparents who can go there in the middle of the summer and fish," said Commissioner Mike Gillman, who voted against the measure. "That area is fairly sterile."
Gillman proposed the city consider construct a pier at the Open Space or from one of the breakwalls at the Duncan Clinch Marina where the rocks and deep water attract fish year-round.
Mayor Michael Estes disagreed and said the river mouth is an ideal location.
"I can assure you I have caught a ton of fish at the mouth of the Boardman River all seasons of the year," Estes said.
Commissioner Jim Carruthers said the pier will spread out the city's waterfront attractions.
"I understand it isn't a great fishing spot, but I think it is a great place to walk and see a sunset," Carruthers said.
Deni Scrudato keeps a boat on the river and raised concerns about conflicts between boaters passing through the narrow river mouth, pier anglers and swimmers who already jump from the Grandview Parkway bridge into the river.
"That location is just really, really awful," Scrudato said. "It's such huge safety concern."
The location is more than two blocks from the nearest pedestrian crossing of Grandview Parkway and a city parking lot.
Gillman said the location gives "lip service" to claims the pier will be accessible to those with disabilities.
"I want to know how somebody in a wheelchair is goint to maneuver from wherever ... they park to get down there," Gillman said.

Entertainment behind the scenes
Clooney returns to "ER" — did he bring his bedside manner?
George Clooney finally did put his scrubs on again for "ER" — but only faithful viewers of the hospital drama would have known because of a curious lack of promotion over what had been a long-hoped for return by the show's biggest star.
Clooney's turn as (Dr Doug Ross) — still happily married to Nurse Carol Hathaway (Julianna Marguiles) — brought struggling NBC a welcome ratings boost.
But how many more millions would have tuned in had they known that George was putting in an appearance that night?
Robert Seidman on the TV by the Numbers Web site speculated that Clooney may only have agreed to do the show again if NBC promised not to use him for promotional purposes. But Clooney's people denied that, while NBC were tight-lipped.

Sudbury Branch member Brenda Cavallin is enjoying an experience most of us can only dream about; having her (Irish) roots reach out to find her, rather than the other way around.
Brenda has been chosen to be one of 6 participants in Tar Abhaile (Come Home), a 6 part bilingual Irish/English television series by Red Pepper Productions. Here is a brief synopsis from the Show's website"
"Hosted by broadcaster Evelyn O'Rourke, the series is based on the premise of 'reverse genealogy' – whereby community volunteers trace the long-lost relatives of Irish families living in countries including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK, and then invite their back to their ancestral homeland."
"…Brenda Cavillin from Ontario, is overcome with emotion when she returns to the home of her ancestors…"
Brenda's story airs next Sunday, November 24 at 9.30pm & Monday, November 25 at 7:30 pm. For those of us in Canada, we can view the series via TG4′s player at www.tg4.ie. Click on the Tar Abhaile logo on the left hand side of the page.
Each episode will be available on the player for 35 days after its original airing.

Benet's Jack Euritt shoots a three near the end of the game over Curie's Joshua Stamps. | Patrick Gleason~For Sun-Times Media
Hours after Benet pulled off an upset of previously undefeated York on Nov. 27, Redwings junior center Sean O'Mara took to Twitter and made an honest critique of himself.
"Need to be extremely effective from the charity stripe in order to be a dominant center. Always have something to improve on," the 6-foot-9, 240-pound O'Mara tweeted shortly after scoring 14 points and securing five rebounds in the Redwings' 49-44 victory.
With Benet and city power Curie tied at 36-36 in the waning seconds last Sunday in the Cyrus McGinnis Jump Ball Showcase, O'Mara stepped to the free-throw line with 12.5 seconds remaining — looking to make good on his vow made five days earlier.
Sinking a free throw, O'Mara provided the Redwings their winning margin of 37-36 in upsetting Curie. O'Mara scored 13 points while pulling down eight rebounds and holding junior center Cliff Alexander to six points.
Off to a 6-1 start and responding after its 57-54 overtime loss to Naperville Central on Nov. 23 with three straight wins, Benet made its debut at No. 8 this week in the Sun-Times' Super 25.
Coming into the year having won 76 of its last 88 games, the Redwings have continued to build off what has been a great three-year run under coach Gene Heidkamp, now in his fifth year. The 2009-10 squad won 26 games and a sectional title, following that with 29 wins in 2010-11 and 21 victories last year.
Putting the program's three-year success story in perspective isn't easy, but the only connection to that time frame, aside from Heidkamp, senior forward Pat McInerney can try.
McInerney saw time as a freshman when Benet won the 2010 Class 4A Neuqua Valley Sectional before losing to eventual Class 4A state champion Simeon and started alongside David Sobolewski and Frank Kaminsky on a team that rose to the top of the state's rankings amidst the 29-game winning streak to start its season before losing to Ryan Boatright and East Aurora.
With games against Naperville Central, York and Curie already behind them, the schedule won't let up for the Redwings as they will once again play in the Proviso West Tournament during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Then the Redwings tackle East Suburban Catholic Conference foes including Marist, Marian Catholic and Notre Dame while also facing West Aurora at Batavia's Night of Hoops in February.
"Coach (Heidkamp) has told us multiple times that this is, in my four years, this is the toughest schedule we've had and I believe that," McInerney said. "I mean, we play so many really good teams, really athletic teams. York was a great shooting team. Naperville Central, obviously, shot the lights out, too.
"But it's all about the state tournament. That's when you really make your money. We get a regional here and that's awesome and when you play teams like Curie and Naperville Central and the Proviso West Tournament, you get ready for the state tournament."
With the memory of blowing a nine-point lead to Naperville Central still fresh in their minds, Benet rebounded from a slow start last Friday against Ridgewood to win comfortably as O'Mara tied his career high with a 30-point night against the Rebels.
McInerney, who recorded a double-double against Ridgewood, mentioned how pleased he was with how the young guys that are surrounding him, O'Mara and senior Jack Euritt have responded early in the season — especially with O'Mara, Euritt, Jack Toner and Jack Beneventi all still rounding into shape after the Redwings' football team's run to the state semifinals.
With Benet having nine days off between its win over Curie and its first game against host Plainfield North in the Plainfield North Tournament on Tuesday, practice has probably been the best thing for them throughout this week.
"We got some kids that are just getting some experience now. We have some kids who have a ton of experience and some kids that don't have much experience playing for us," Heidkamp said. "So the only way you get them better is get them out there and they got to go through some growing pains. Hopefully we're gonna be able to do that and get better through the course of the year.
"We also need to practice. We've still barely practiced, just based on the situation with things that happened in the preseason with football and everything else. So I think the thing is we gotta a lot of work to do, but we have the potential to be a solid team."

McALESTER —
Officials say a Crowder man is in stable condition after being shot twice by an Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper.
A Crowder man was hit twice by an OHP trooper shortly after on noon Wednesday, according to OHP Capt. George Brown.
Doctor is alleged to have pulled a tall gun on the trooper after a pursuit that ended near Antlers on the Indian Nation Turnpike.
Brown said the incident occurred after a trooper spotted the man allegedly driving a stolen vehicle near Highway 3.
The pursuit moved to the turnpike and the trooper used a tactical vehicle intervention, spinning the car into a near by convenience store.
Brown said that's when the man allegedly exited the vehicle with a rifle and pointed it at the trooper, the trooper fired five rounds and the man was hit once in the scalp and once in the hand. He said the man was placed in custody and airlifted to a Tulsa hospital where he is listed in stable condition.
Brown said once the suspect is released, he will be taken to the Pushmataha County jail.
The name of the trooper is not being released at this time as the case is still under investigation.

Valpo Captures Exhibition Opener from Indiana Wesleyan
Saturday, November 04, 2006Urule Igbavboa (Oakdale, Minn./Tartan) enjoyed a perfect 10-for-10 night from the field as Valparaiso defeated Indiana Wesleyan Saturday night at the ARC, 83-65, in the Crusaders' first exhibition game of the season.
Igbavboa, who played just 24 minutes due to foul trouble, hit seven of his ten shots in the first half. He would end the game with 24 points, six rebounds, and two blocked shots. Joining Igbavboa in the low post was Crusader newcomer Calum MacLeod (Wellington, New Zealand/Hutt Valley [Northeastern J.C.]), who poured in 21 points, including 17 in the second half, and pulled down seven rebounds in his Crusader debut.
The game was tight throughout the first half, as Valpo could never get the margin above eight points. A Jarryd Loyd (Lincolnwood, Ill./Niles West) 3-pointer gave the Crusaders a 38-31 halftime advantage.
The Crusaders got the advantage to double digits for the first time on an Igbavboa 3-point play with 18:44 to go, but the Wildcats answered right back with a 11-2 run to pull back within one point. Coming out of the ensuing media timeout, Valpo responded with a 10-0 run of its own, highlighted by an Igbavboa fast break dunk and 3-pointers from Shawn Huff (Helsinki, Finland/Makelanrinne) and MacLeod.
Indiana Wesleyan got a basket on its next possession to briefly cut the lead to 55-46, but Samuel Haanpaa (Kerava, Finland/Cornerstone [Texas] Christian) came right back with a 3-pointer to make it a 12-point game, and the Crusaders' lead would remain in double digits the rest of the way.
Igbavboa and MacLeod were the only Valpo players to finish in double digits, with the next highest scorer being Loyd, with eight points. Jake Diebler (Upper Sandusky, Ohio/Upper Sandusky) enjoyed a solid all-around game after earning the start, recording five points, eight assists, and four steals.
Indiana Wesleyan, coached by former Crusader guard Greg Tonagel, placed three players in double figures, paced by 15 from DeJovaun Sawyer-Davis. Sawyer-Davis also pulled down ten rebounds for the game's only double-double. Valpo High graduate Jon Moon added 14 points, while Antonio Murrell chipped in 13 points and seven assists.
The Crusaders hit an even 50% of their shots for the game, going 28-of-56 from the field, versus 21-of-58 (36.2%) for Indiana Wesleyan. Valpo hit just 5-of-16 shots from behind the arc, but hit 22 free throws on 31 attempts. Both teams had trouble holding on to the ball, committing 21 turnovers apiece, with the Wildcats holding a 16-15 edge in points off turnovers. The Crusaders enjoyed significant edges in points in the paint (38-22) and fast break points (14-0).
Valparaiso returns home for its final exhibition game Monday night, as the Crusaders host Trinity Christian. The tip is set for 7:05 p.m., and all the action can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

The search is on for outstanding senior volunteers in Kentuckiana.
The Salute to Senior Service program, sponsored by Home Instead Inc., is seeking nominations for outstanding senior volunteers — adults 65 and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes.
Nominations will be accepted between Feb. 1 and March 31. State winners then will be selected by popular vote at SalutetoSeniorService.com. Online voting will take place from April 15-30. From those state winners, a panel of senior care experts will pick the national Salute to Senior Service honoree.
Home Instead, Inc. will donate $500 to each of the state winners' favorite nonprofit organizations and their stories will be posted on the Salute to Senior Service Wall of Fame. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner's nonprofit charity of choice.
"We all know seniors who do so much for our community," said Colette Hofelich, registered nurse and owner of the Home Instead Senior Care offices serving the Louisville metro area, in a press release. "These silent heroes give selflessly, expecting nothing in return. And yet, their contributions often make a difference not only to the organizations they serve, but in changing how the public views growing older."

The following article was submitted to the Broadneck Patch by Duane Herr, Physical Education and Athletic Assistant at Anne Arundel Community College (AACC).
The men's basketball team at Anne Arundel Community College bounced back into the win column with a 79-71 win over a tough Frederick Community College program. The win brings AACC's record to 11-5 overall and 3-4 in conference play.
Riding a four game losing streak, the Pioneers traveled to Frederick for their first of nine consecutive MD JUCO conference contests that will conclude their regular season schedule. Frederick, which stands at fourth in the MD JUCO standings with a 13-5 overall record and 6-3 conference record, figured to be the favorite in the 7pm game.
Despite the odds, Anne Arundel stuck to their game and continued their streak of competitive basketball. The Pioneers built a nine point lead going into the half and bested their 39 point first half score by one in the second half. Frederick outscored AACC 41-40 in the second but the first half lead proved to be the difference.
Jarvez Pierce was the leading point man for the Pioneers with 22. He also grabbed seven rebounds and accounted for six assists. Jalen Lester added 20 points, five steals and four rebounds. Sean Brinson scored 14 points and led AACC with 12 rebounds.
Anne Arundel men's hoops is back in action Wednesday night when they host CCBC Catonsville (6-9, 4-5 MD JUCO) in a 7pm conference showdown.

BOSTON — A North Andover man has been charged with assaulting a woman on a train.
Scott Robinson, 40, was expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court yesterday on a charge of indecent assault. A woman riding an the Orange Line at around 9:50 a.m. Monday reported being touched inappropriately as the train was pulling into North Station, according to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Transit Police.
The alleged victim was able to get a good look at the perpetrator and contacted the Transit Police, according to that agency.
After an investigation, Transit Police detectives arrested Robinson yesterday at the MBTA's Wellington Station in Medford. He was then transported to the Transit Police headquarters and booked.
Noting that the arrest occurred within 48 hours of the alleged assault, Transit Police Superintendent Joseph O'Connor said, "This was good police work by our detectives."
The Transit Police have been conducting a sexual assault awareness campaign, in which they encourage riders to report incidents of indecent touching, he said.
O'Connor said he and others in the Transit Police suspect that sexual assaults on public transportation are underreported. Victims feel embarrassed and so are reluctant to come forward, he pointed out.
"We applaud anyone who comes forward and reports an incident such as this," O'Connor said.

What we have found is a public security policy that is badly failing on two fronts. It has not succeeded in reducing violence. Instead, it has resulted in a dramatic increase in grave human rights violations, virtually none of which appear to be adequately investigated. In sum, rather than strengthening public security in Mexico, Calderon "war" has exacerbated a climate of violence, lawlessness, and fear in many parts of the country.
The HRW report comes in response to widespread violence in Mexico in the fight against drug cartels. This is not the first time the security forces have been accused of committing rights abuses. In August, Mexico's National Human Rights Commission [official website, in Spanish] issued a report [text, PDF, in Spanish] contending that military and law enforcement officials routinely conducted illegal searches [JURIST report]. Mexico has struggled to combat the drug cartels' influence on the government and the country as a whole. There have been more than 27,000 drug-related deaths [STRATFOR report] since 2006. In 2008, a former Assistant Attorney General was arrested for receiving bribes and Mexico's prosecutor's office admitted that it had been infiltrated [JURIST reports] by the drug cartels.

America slipping away under Obama
Come November, the people of America will have a choice.
Vote Obama for a second term and the U.S. will never look like the U.S. of the past or the present, which is quickly disappearing. Here we come Greece!
Obama's own words are "I am a proponent of universal health care." Key word, "universal."
My question to you is, is America its own country with strong moral values? Or are we a country getting ready to be handed over to the universal morality of Obama, Chavez, Mao Tse-tung, Ahmadinejad and other leaders of destruction? How about Qaddafi?
If you believe that a person's words an actions of 25 years are a good indicator of who they are, then you better believe Obama is no more than an experienced leader and a well-taught social terrorist.
I believe that you must read his books, check out some of the low-lifes in his administration and learn who they really are. Watch the films "2016" and "Hope and Change." Then sit and think for 30 minutes with a truly open mind and heart. Be careful of bigotry — truly careful.
Obama's school czar supported a member of the North American Man/Boy Love Association, but does not think the Boy Scouts are a good thing. Really? NAMBLA is a man-boy sex club. Part of the Obama "dream team" seems to believe in this. Do you?

The courage to be rich: creating a life of material and spiritual abundance

With honesty, empathy, and a dazzling knowledge of how money works, Suze Orman invites us into a realm where our lives and finances can prosper in harmony.

"Orman prods the fearful, the angry and the impoverished to dig deep into the pockets of their souls for spiritual and financial riches. [A] holistic approach...Orman offers sound advice on money market funds, IRAs, estate planning and financing big-ticket items such as homes and autos, but her most compelling advice hits us in the emotional pocketbook." (USA Today)

A California teacher has been barred by his school from giving students documents from American history that refer to God -- including the Declaration of Independence.
Steven Williams, a fifth-grade teacher at Stevens Creek School in the San Francisco Bay area suburb of Cupertino, sued for discrimination on Monday, claiming he had been singled out for censorship by principal Patricia Vidmar because he is a Christian.
Among the materials she has rejected, according to Williams, are excerpts from the Declaration of Independence, George Washington's journal, John Adams' diary, Samuel Adams' "The Rights of the Colonists" and William Penn's "The Frame of Government of Pennsylvania."
My guess is his voice mail box is already full.
Here's the whole story.

Monday Morning Draft - Week 2
Here is the second edition of the Monday Morning Draft - a column that delves into the past weekend's action from a 2013 NFL Draft perspective. As the season goes on, the draft picture and slotting will become more clear, but every Sunday will provide a few hints for next April.
By Charlie Campbell.

Follow Charlie on Twitter @draftcampbell for updates.
Blow For Barkley:
There will be a lot of turnover as the season progresses in the positioning of which team will land the No. 1-overall pick to have the first shot at USC quarterback Matt Barkley. Here are the top contenders following the Week 2 action.
Cleveland Browns:
The Browns lost another close game; this time to the Bengals. Quarterback Brandon Weeden played much better throwing for 322 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough as Cleveland's defense and special teams let them down.
Last week, the Browns' defense played a great game in holding down the Eagles' offense, but Cleveland's offense was unable to take advantage. The defense intercepted Michael Vick four times, but Weeden gave the ball back with four interceptions of his own.
The Browns that intangible of a "loser instinct." They find ways to get a loss when victory is possible and therefore, remain the favorite for the No. 1 pick.
Oakland Raiders:
Oakland jumps into the rankings after getting blown out by Miami. That was an embarrassingly bad performance as the Dolphins couldn't play competitive football against the Texans last week. Oakland is 0-2 after losing six days earlier to the Chargers.
The Raiders are in rebuilding mode. Salary-cap restrictions and a lack of draft picks made it hard for Oakland to bring in talent to its roster. It looks like a long year in the Black Hole.
Jacksonville Jaguars:
Jacksonville didn't put up much of a fight as Houston cruised to a win. The Texans' defense suffocated the Jaguars and Houston's ground game controlled the ball.
Jacksonville looked improved over last season in Week 1, but the Jaguars still lost to another bad team as the Vikings dropped them in overtime.
The Jaguars don't have enough talent around quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Their offensive line and receiving corps are overmatched. Jacksonville has a terrible secondary on the other side of the ball, too. The team just doesn't have the talent on its roster to avoid a top-10 pick.
Kansas City Chiefs:
I still think the Chiefs will come together and be a competitive team, but they are 0-2 after getting dominated by the Bills. There is a possibility that Kansas City could go down the toilet as quarterback Matt Cassel is very limited. He threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, but the scores came in the fourth quarter after the game was already decided. Cassel also had an interception and lost fumble.
The Chiefs have to get a long-term quarterback, so they should make some bold moves to get a franchise signal-caller.
Minnesota Vikings:
The Vikings lost by a field goal to the Colts. Minnesota is 1-1, but has split games with two bad teams. The Vikings, at home, barely beat the Jaguars in the season opener.
Minnesota is in the best division in football, so it is going to be difficult for the team to produce a sizable win total. If the Vikings had an easy schedule, it might be a franchise that surprises, but life is going to get a lot harder than the Colts and Jaguars.
Let's Play Matchmaker:
This section will look at some of the top talent in college football and match those prospects up with teams that have a dire need at the position.
New Orleans Saints: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
The Saints' defense continued to struggle as the Panthers ran for 219 yards on New Orleans. The Saints lost at home to Washington last week, plagued with defensive breakdowns once again. New Orleans needs a difference-maker on the inside of its defensive line.
Short is disruptive against the run and a superb pass-rusher. He has three sacks already this season after recording 12.5 sacks the past two seasons. Short (6-3, 310) is very fast and has some functional power. He would be an immediate upgrade to the Saints' pass rush and run defense.
New England Patriots: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
The Patriots allowed Tom Brady to be sacked four times against Arizona, and the protection for him hasn't been up to par dating back to last season. New England could use a talented young edge blocker. Even if Nate Solder pans out at left tackle, the team could use some more talented youth on its line.
Matthews is a powerful blocker who can lock down defensive linemen in run and pass blocking. Texas A&M has a lot of success running behind him and he was a superb pass protector for Ryan Tannehill last year. Matthews body is still developing, even if he is already 6-foot-5 and 305 pounds. Matthews looks versatile enough to warrant consideration for a move to left tackle, or possibly guard if his NFL team would like to bring him along gradually.
Arizona Cardinals: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
The Cardinals won at New England despite the play of quarterback Kevin Kolb. He didn't lose the game for Arizona, but the team didn't win because of him. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had only one catch for four yards. It is criminal that the Cardinals could only get Fitzgerald one reception. They need a quarterback like Barkley who is skilled at getting the ball to his play-makers.
While Barkley went 0-4 against Stanford in his collegiate career, he still is the most NFL-ready quarterback available in the 2013 NFL Draft. The senior has completed 61 percent of his passes this season for 818 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. He does a good job of getting the ball to receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee. Arizona needs a quarterback like that to get the ball to Fitzgerald and 2012 first-rounder Michael Floyd.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
The Buccaneers were destroyed through the air as Eli Manning threw for 510 yards while New York amassed more than 600 yards of total offense. Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks dominated Tampa Bay cornerback Aqib Talib to the tune of 10 receptions for 199 yards and one touchdown. Bucs head coach Greg Schiano kept his corners playing press man at the line of scrimmage even though they were getting torched.
Rhodes is a good man corner who is capable of playing press-man coverage. He shut down Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd at the end of 2011. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Rhodes has the size to matchup on big receivers with the speed to turn and run downfield. He could be a shutdown corner in the NFL.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina
The Steelers want to play smash-mouth football with a tough ground attack, but they don't have the workhorse back to be the engine for a ground offense. Rashard Mendenhall is still working his way back and Isaac Redman is nothing special. Lattimore would be a perfect back for Pittsburgh's offense.
Lattimore is a power back who is physical and quick. He is adept at pounding the ball between the tackles and getting yards after contact. Lattimore has averaged 4.9 yards per carry this season and amassed 235 yards and four touchdowns. The 6-foot, 220-pounder would be a perfect fit with the Steelers' identity.
Dallas Cowboys: John Jenkins, DT, Georgia
The Cowboys had the Seahawks run the ball down their throat on Sunday with Marshawn Lynch totaling 122 yards on 26 carries. Dallas could use a big body on its defensive line to help give the team a run-stuffing presence to use against running teams. Many thought the Cowboys would draft J.J. Watt in 2011 or Dontari Poe in 2012; perhaps they can find a run stuffer next year.
Jenkins is one of the top run-defending linemen in college football. The 6-foot-3, 358-pounder is a load at the line of scrimmage who plugs his gap and eats up blockers to free up linebackers. He would be perfect in the NFL for a 3-4 defense.
New York Jets: Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
The Jets had no running game against Pittsburgh. Shonn Greene (11-23) and Bilal Powell (9-33) were ineffective against the Steelers. New York can't get its ground-and-pound offense going without any talent at running back. The Jets need a stud running back to make their offense work.
Taylor was a beast against USC and led the way for Stanford to upset the second-ranked Trojans. He has totaled 338 yards and three touchdowns in three games this season. Taylot ran for 1,330 yards and 10 touchdowns last year and 1,137 yards and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore. The 5-foot-11, 215-pounder has three-down ability and could be a steal on the second day of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Team Draft Report:
In this section, we take a deeper look at specific teams and where they stand in regards to the 2013 NFL Draft.
Buffalo Bills:
The Bills rolled the Chiefs and produced 35 points despite quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing only 19 passes. He completed 10 of them for 178 yards and two touchdowns, but Buffalo won because running back C.J. Spiller produced 123 yards on only 15 carries. Buffalo is 1-1, but the team hasn't featured the scoring offense that many believed it was capable of.
The Bills have to find a long-term starting quarterback next April. Fitzpatrick isn't good enough for Buffalo to get by New England in the AFC East. The Bills are going to need a true franchise signal-caller in order to have a shot at the Patriots and competing in the post-season. Fitzpatrick doesn't have a strong enough arm and is too brittle.
Buffalo needs to upgrade its wide receivers, too. Steve Johnson is a good one, but the team needs more around him. The Bills' offense has been too dependent on Fred Jackson and now Spiller. If those backs don't have a big day, chances are Buffalo is going to lose. The Bills needs to build up some receivers around a talented young quarterback. Finding some long-term building blocks for the passing offense should be the team's focus next offseason.
Tennessee Titans:
The Titans are 0-2 and have lost both games in convincing fashion. Tennessee's offense has looked dreadful to start the season with major problems in the ground game. The offensive line has been a horrible weakness, so the Titans have not been able to get the ground game going.
The most troubling sign of the early going this season for Tennessee, is that running back Chris Johnson seems to have lost his fastball. It looks like he has the running backs verion of David Carr Syndrome from seeing so many defenders stack his running lanes. It has rendered him indecisive and ineffective.
Given the massive contract that Johnson was given, the Titans have to start upgrading their offensive line to get a return on their investment. They need the most help on the inside, but if they could land an upgrade at tackle, they would have to consider it.
Tennessee should also think of using a second-day pick on a running back in case Johnson is past the point of reclamation. There should be some nice backs available in the third or fourth round that the Titans could target in order to have a replacement for him.
Tennessee's offense isn't the only weakness. The Titans need help along the defensive line and at cornerback. Using their first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft for a defensive end, a cornerback or an offensive lineman would all make sense. Perhaps Tennessee should dangle Johnson on the trade market if his contract wouldn't prevent a deal. He has totaled 21 yards on 19 carries this season. Maybe the Titans should try and get something for him while they still can.

If Vaccaro or Elam falls to NE, then that will be the pick.. if not then it will be an o-lineman with the versatility to play across different positions and the speed to pull and block at the next level, Dallas Thomas or Barrett Jones should still be on the board.
I would also be watching for Mathieu to be picked if he is still on the board very late in the draft. He could be a gamble that pays-off late in the 5th or 6th round.

Going to agree with the fellow pats fans with the notion that chung is not going to be retained. Fell out of favor with coaching, routinely took bad angles on tackles and lost his starting spot to McCourty and I wouldn't be surprised if rookie tavon wilson leapfrogged him as well. The pats do need a replacement for Gregory though and overall really like the elam pick

The Chargers should target OT Eric Fisher in round 1, but if he's already gone then CB DeMarcus Milliner. If Milliner is gone then ILB Manti Te'o and if Te'o is gone OG Chance Warmack. Round 2 depends on what happens in round 1, so OT in round 1 then CB in round 2. CB in round 1 then OT in round 2. If ILB or OG in round 1 then CB or OT in round 2 and 3. My draft would be, round 1 OT Eric Fisher, round 2 CB Xavier Rhodes, round 3 RB Stephan Taylor.

What the hell are you talking about? Chung was the Pats' #3 safety for the majority of the season. McCourty is far and away the best safety on their roster.

Like your analysis and I know it can be difficult to follow all 32 teams like you do, but the Pats are my team and I disagree here. Chung is fine and all, but the coaching staff started McCourty and Gregory even with him healthy. They're gonna let him walk. Teams can never go wrong drafting OL help, and I think they will at some point, but I think Connolly and Wendell did enough that a first round pick will not be used for an interior line position. A young WR is a definite need, as is a #1 corner (if they don't sign Talib), a good DT next to (and eventually to replace) Wilfork, and yes, safety and interior OL depth.

Yeah, no... The Falcons need to focus on retooling their front seven and Alabama RBs have been underwhelming in the NFL to say the very least.

We hope you come back healthy, but your hamstring ripped off of the bone, you may not be 100%. If you are great, we can still replace AJ Hawk.

With the Bucs having so much cap space how do you expect that to effect their draft strategy?
To me it looks like the free agency crop of CB's is not strong so I could see the Bucs picking up a TE, WR, ROT in free agency while sticking with a CB, DT and OLB early in the draft.
What say you?

It really doesn't matter too much what they did in college, if they have POTENTIAL in any form than they could be first round. That being said, I'm not confident that they'll be good, just that at least one is going in the first round and early second.

Niagara Gazette — Niagara County Community College is mourning the loss of one of its founding members, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 93.
Edward Pawenski, who served on the college's board of trustees for 50 years and stepped down in June, was first appointed in 1962 by the Niagara County Legislature. He also served as a foundation board member from 1987 to 1996.
A flag in front of the NCCC campus will remain at half staff through Saturday, in honor of Pawenski's devotion to the educational institute.
NCCC President James P. Klyczek said Pawenski was part of a group of "true pioneers," whose vision left a legacy that has carried on in the county until today.
"As one of the founding members of the board of trustees, the college owes a debt of gratitude to Ed Pawenski for his many years of service to the faculty, staff and students of NCCC," Klyczek said.
Henry F. Wojtaszek, Chairperson of the school's board of trustees, recalled the valuable perspective Pawenski brought to the board along with his passionate support for its success.
The board of trustees and the entire college community mourn his passing today," Wojtaszek said Thursday. "Ed was a valued member of the NCCC board of trustees and a friend for many years. His presence has been missed since he retired from board service last year."

On Monday, Senator Bob Duff was out braving the miserable weather in front of Norwalk's WalMart on Main Ave. to help raise money for the Salvation Army by donating his time as a bell ringer.
"It comes in waves, but I've seen a very good response from the community," said Duff, who's been volunteering with the Salvation Army for the past five years. "We've seen people giving whatever they could, from people giving pocket change to people putting $20s in the kettle. People have been very generous and all the money stays locally in this area."
Duff was joined by Charlotte Dufrane, Salvation Army Director of Social Services for the Greater Norwalk Area, and Capt. Diego J. Bedoya, Commanding Officer. Dufrane said the year has been a particularly difficult one for the organization.
"We're down by 20-percent compared to previous years' donations," Dufrane said. "A lot of people are hesitant to donate. They've learned to keep money close to their pockets because of an unreliable economy. We're certainly feeling it."
She noted people have been more generous with time, however, donating man hours where they don't have money. Having heart where the don't have money, she called it. Martin Soto, who's bell-ringing station Duff was visiting Monday, is a prime example of that.
"I volunteer at the Salvation Army every day [for five to six hours]," Soto said. "I'm currently looking for a job, it's been kind of rough. I take the opportunity to apply for jobs when I take breaks at the places I'm ringing bells. WalMart, Stop&Shop, wherever. But I love doing this. It brings happiness to me to know I'm helping. I've been doing it for about five years, myself."
The money raised through the bell-ringing operation each holiday season go to fund programs the Salvation Army operates throughout the year. 480 underprivileged children will receive toys this Christmas because of the Salvation Army and the donations it receives.
