YORK — The girlfriend of slain former York Mayor Melvin Roberts has been found mentally competent to stand trial on murder charges, prosecutors and police said Wednesday.
A trial against Julia Phillips could come as early as August, said Marcia Barker, spokeswoman for the Greenville County solicitor's office, which is handling the case because of Roberts' 55-year relationship with York County prosecutors and judges.
The competency determination was confirmed by York police, the primary investigating agency in a case that has involved the State Law Enforcement Division and other agencies, and has dragged on for more than three years.
"We hope to have some resolution in this case that has been going on for so long," York Police Chief Andy Robinson said.
Roberts, 79, a lawyer for 55 years in York, was strangled outside his York home in February 2010.
Phillips, who lived with Roberts for a decade and initially told police she had been robbed that day, was charged with murder three months later. Police said her claims of being tied up and robbed by a black or Hispanic man were unfounded.
The motive for the killing was greed, as Roberts had planned to cut off all financial support, prosecutors have said.
Phillips, who is at least 68 years old but could be as old as 72, has been on house arrest in Gaffney since weeks after her arrest in May 2010. In 2011, she pleaded guilty to stealing from Roberts' realty company and was sentenced to probation.
But the murder case has not moved forward since Phillips' lawyer claimed in 2012 that Phillips was mentally incompetent to understand the charges against her or to assist in her own defense.
Circuit Court Judge Derham Cole of Spartanburg, assigned the case because of Roberts' long-standing relationships with York County judges, ordered the state Department of Mental Health to test Phillips.
Prosecutors in Greenville were assigned the case because of Roberts' relationships with York County prosecutors.
Robinson, the York police chief, said the investigation remains open, as police and prosecutors have said since Phillips was arrested that investigators do not believe she acted alone in the killing.
Phillips' son, William Hunter Stephens, acknowledged in court documents last year that he was a suspect in the case and claimed he was only arrested on drug and fraud charges in Gaffney because police wanted to target him in the Roberts slaying.
In March, Stephens pleaded guilty to those fraud and drug charges and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Stephens has not been charged with any crime in connection with Roberts' death. Prosecutors and police in court balked at Stephens' claim that he had been arrested in other cases because of the Roberts homicide.
However, Robinson, the police chief, said Wednesday that Stephens "has not been ruled out" as a suspect in Roberts' death.
Phillips' lawyer, Bobby Frederick, who originally said in court in 2010 that Stephens was a suspect in the crime, could not be reached for comment. Frederick has claimed in court hearings that Phillips was too small and frail to have killed kill Roberts.
The ruling could set in motion a trial in a case that has twisted for more than three years.
Phillips was arrested, police said, after testing showed gunpowder residue on her clothes, that her clothes were not wet despite her claims to have been held outside on a rainy day, and that she had lied about being robbed.
Just days after her arrest, the Cherokee County coroner exhumed the body of Phillips' ex-husband, Bryant Phillips, who died in 1999. Bryant Phillips' daughter asked for an investigation of his death because her stepmother had just been charged with killing Roberts.
That investigation remains pending.
A probate judge later evicted both Stephens and Phillips from the Gaffney home where Julia Phillips was living. That eviction remains on hold because Judge Cole ruled Phillips has to live there on house arrest while waiting for the murder trial.

Was totally surprised in the lack of quality in this sweater (as everything else I've purchased from Jos. A Banks has been outstanding). It shrunk big-time after 1 washing ( bought a large) and the collar has a very strange permanent wrinkle to it that looks awful. I'm returning it right away ...

By slim jim

I love every shirt I have bought here
The first issue was I was a few cents short of free shipping. Even though the website said the items in my cart qualified, i was charged shipping. I called customer service and they basically said there was nothing they could do. Then one of the items i ordered which said it was on backorder on the website just didnt show up with the shipment with a note saying it was unavailable. No email no call to ask if i wanted soemthing else. Not a good buying experience at all
Love this, but . . .
By Bapa
I ordered this in 2 colors and I love them. Fits well, comes out of washer great - only issue was after I wore one of them the first time, I noticed that the color was faded where it had obviously been in a store window - faded where it was folded and creased - can only wear it bumming around the house.
fast shipment - thanks!

The Oneonta Community Health Center and six property owners were honored Monday by the Future for Oneonta Foundation at an awards luncheon in the Foothills Performing Arts Center.
The health center was named the foundation's Organization of the Year.
One of our core missions is 'to improve the quality of life for the citizens of the greater Oneonta area,'" said Sarah Patterson, vice chairwoman of foundation, quoting the foundation's charter. "The Community Health Care Center really does that."
The health center, which relies entirely on community support for funding, has been providing medical care to the uninsured since 2008.
"Being recognized like this reaffirms to us our community roots and support," said Kay Stuligross, the center's president.
"We have phenomenal community support," said Stuligross, who also is a member of the Otsego County Board of Representatives.
She cited several instances in which local groups had held fund-raisers, sometimes without even telling the health center.
"Several years ago, late in the summer, a group of children went to a local blueberry farm, picked blueberries, went to the farmers market and brought the money to us," she said, citing one of those instances.
Nevertheless, not everyone knows about the center, she added.
"There were people sitting at the table where I was today who had never heard of us," Stuligross said after the luncheon.
With recent estimates putting the percentage of uninsured in Otsego County higher than18 percent, Stuligross the health center would like to expand its hours beyond the current Tuesday evenings but needs more volunteers. She asked the luncheon guests to refer medical professionals to the center.
Dr. Benjamin Friedell, one of the health center's founders, briefly described the center's beginnings and what has happened since then.
"What I did not anticipate, and have been repeatedly awed and really moved by, was the outpouring of support from the community," he told the crowd.
Also honored Monday were the foundation's Properties of Merit:
Historic: 5 Irving Place, Lorraine Zimniewicz.
Commercial: Friendly's restaurant, 377 Main St., Richard Spooner, general manager.
Landscape: 21 Woodside Ave., Gail Niles.
Residential, city: 14 Suncrest Terrace, Charles and Carole Burnsworth.
Residential, town: The Plains at Parish Homestead, Trudy Claudy, executive director.
Most improved: 16 Grand St., Tom Casey.
The Daily Star is one of the sponsors of the Properties of Merit awards.

A recent email that circulated among the nation's airport executives lists airports that possibly could close if Congress doesn't act to reverse a law to require across-the-board cuts to all federal programs.
Cherry Capital in northern Michigan is among 106 small airports nationwide on the list that could lose airport control tower personnel under the reductions scheduled to go into effect Jan. 2, 2013.
"This is a what-if scenario, kind of a doomsday look at the thing," said Kevin Klein, Cherry Capital Airport manager in Traverse City. "It was to point out that if unilateral cuts are made, it could have a lot of effects on aviation."
Automatic cuts to all discretionary federal programs comes as a result of the 2011 battle over raising the federal debt ceiling to prevent the federal government from defaulting on its loans.
The Center for American Progress concludes that small airports would receive the brunt of cuts to the FAA and likely would see their air traffic controllers eliminated.
Details for this story were provided by The Record-Eagle in Traverse City, Mich.

Let's make February count this year
Deconstructing the roots of
The black n gray suits
with hands in the Loot
That has buried the truth
About our black, brown and disabled youth
— excerpt from KKKourt by Tiny
OPINION On the first day of Black Herstory Minute (I mean, Month), I practiced black herstory, and walked through activism and breathed organizing and lived resistance by putting my body in the benches belonging to the criminal injustice system (a.k.a. the plantation) at 850 Bryant. I was there to support a struggle against injustice in the case of a young African warrior for truth, Fly Benzo, a.k.a. Debray Carpenter — student, son, media producer, organizer, and hip-hop artist who is facing a felony charge, jail sentence and $95,000 fine for nothing more than exercising his First Amendment right to free speech.
How many among you, overwhelmed with multiple Face-crack postings and a cacophony of tweets, might have missed the story of Fly, who spoke the truth about racism, police brutality and the unjust death of Kenneth Harding Jr. to a cop in a poor-people-of-color neighborhood, Bayview, which is under seize from the occupying army known as the police (or po'lice as we call them at POOR Magazine)?
As a woman criminalized and incarcerated for the sole act of being poor and houseless, the melanin-challenged daughter of a poor black single mother who spent all of her life in poverty and in struggle, I have witnessed first hand unequal justice against people of color and poor people. It's a fact that remains, in 2012, still a very dire reality.
"They arrested me for exercising my Constitutional right to free speech," said Benzo, 22.
Benzo's revolution began when he was born to conscious African-descendant parents who, like many African descendant people in San Francisco, have been under the constant threat of removal, displacement, redlining, and ongoing police harassment for decades. He has been speaking out about injustices since he was a teen, starting with the fact that hardly any Bayview residents were hired to construct the multi-million-dollar T-Train that runs from downtown to Third Street — and the dramatic rise in the violent policing of the T-Train and the Muni bus lines that run through the poor communities of color in S.F.
But the beginning of Benzo's current battle with the criminal injustice system began when he began to speak up about Harding, murdered by San Francisco police officers for not having a $2 dollar bus transfer. The judge might not admit the video that was taken at the scene of Benzo's arrest, making his case all the more difficult to fight, and the truth all the more difficult to hear and see, which is where community support comes in.
A lot of people and organizers and politricksters talk about stopping the violence and how to "deal" with the inequities of racism and classism and violence on our youth of color. And yet when this brother spoke out, used his voice for nothing but truth and resistance about injustices he personally experiences everyday, who comes out to support him?
Practicing revolutionaries at POOR Magazine, the Idriss Stelly Foundation, The BayView Newspaper, Education not Incarceration, and United Playaz have been there, as well as his hard-working attorney, Severa Keith, and a few more. But we all need to be there, fighting for a very alive, very revolutionary, young truth-teller who is making black history, every day.
Tiny, a.k.a. Lisa Gray-Garcia, is an editor at POOR Magazine. Opening statements in the trial of Debray Carpenter are expected to begin Feb. 8 in Dept. 27.
Right on sister. Fly has been telling the truth about the community and the police. While historians and politicians are quick to forget our struggles, our stories, the PO'lice NEVER Forget anything except their own wrongdoing. FREE FLY BENZO!
Right on Tiny. The Po'Lice NEVER forget anything, except their own wrongdoing and malfeasance. Fly Benzo will be vindicated.
A grave injustice happened to Stephen McDow and they sure decided to run away with the story in the news. Even though there were white cases of actual criminal activity that did not get the same attention....What is going on???

Praise be to Harding.
He was in Bayview mindin he's own business after somebody fingered him in Seattle for running a ring of teenage prostitutes as a pimp, and The Man tries shoots him dead for cheating his MUNI fare and protesting by pulling a gun on the po-lice.
He was killed with his own gun (shot himself accidentally in the croch).
His brother is on death row for murder in Seattle! And for what? For standing up to injustice.
The People need Social Justice. Right on Tina Gray Garcia-person!
what is your profession ? posting on SFPD time, budget and equipment ? Hm ? Please make sure that your passion does not make you inavertently shoot tourself in the "croch" (sp). Kenneth Harding's brother was released one day after his arrest, you genius....
"croch" (sp).
Question marks don't have a space before them.
The first word of a sentence is capitalized.
Illiterates telling the world whats right and wrong.
Harding has been the brutish subject of social injustice. He was runnin' away from the MUNI fair, and was shot with his own gun by accident and killed hisself.
You can see it on Youtube.
The People are Angry!

Social justice now. Thanx Teeny.

Any suggestions?
I have glass knees...had osgood slaughters disease as a teen (one part of the knee grows too fast for the other part)...I outgrew that for the most part, but developed all kinds of complications in my knees from it...
whenever i try to add size and strength to my knees i get counterproductive results...when i try to move up to heavy weights in squatting, my knees eventually start hurting when i walk...I feel like my lower body is not as strong as it should be, and i experience alot of pain in my legs when playing basketball...
I was told that leg extensions are not good for someone with my condition...I squat with light weights, do leg pressed with light weights, but it seems like even then my knees feel a little stiff afterwards...
So what the hell else can I do to strenghten my knees and strengthen my legs as a whole without hurting my knees?
Maybe think of low-impact, high resistance stuff? You'd really have to get creative with a treadmill or stationary bike. Maybe some kind of intense water leg workouts. I really don't know ow bad your knees are, so I could be overplaying your situation and not giving you great info here.
ooh ooh...holding dumbells (HEAVY) while in a pool, and squatting. I bet the water does a lot to help stabilize you and take some of the stres off of the knees.
Sounds real good...I really need to get myself to a pool...but I am thinking high resistance stuff too...possibly isometrics?Originally Posted by mrelwooddowd
My knees are not THAT bad...they just hurt me when I over exert them, and they crack and pop very often...they just feel weak overall, although I can do any activity I want to like running or jumping, I just have to fight through the pain...
i think weakness is the key term to describe how my knees feel...so basically I am trying to strenghten them withouth hurting them...but also want to strengthen and add size to my quads and hammys...
Try using knee wraps.

I was thinking that even the up/down of water provides some resistance for a squat, although you'd have to find someone willing to let you get in not only with their dumbells, but while weighing yourself down...lol
Well, I don't think any body weight work will make you legs bigger. You will gain some explosiveness, but not a huge amount. Wraps can help. Rest and some ice/heat will also help. All the jumping can stress your knees out, obviously, and if you don't give yourself enough time to recover, you'll make things worse when you squat.

I have horrible knees. I inherited it from my moms side. They pop creak when I'm going up stairs and I can't run without my knees and the part of my shin right up under it hurting. A friend of mine who has Osgood Shlatters told me that I might have that too... I donno though.
But anyway, wrap it really tight when doing any kind of exercise. That will make it not hurt as much and it will be safer. As far as exercises, I have never been able to do squats, freeweight or smith machine. They just hurt WAY too bad. The only thing I can do is leg press (for some reason I can do as much wieght as I want to on that). Just try Legpresses with your knee wrapped and see what you think.
Be carefull though because that freind of mine who I was just talking about didnt have his knee wrapped and just blew it out last week.

You could try unilateral movements for each knee to improve strength, so they could handle heavier weights.
I'm doing it for my right knee, since I can't squat jack.

great thanks for the help...can u give me an idea of some excercieses to do? ones that have worked for you? thanks...Originally Posted by CanadianHomer
well i have knee problems and i can squat jack, provided he weighs under 170.. :'(
i had osgood schlatters, and all that took to get rid of it was to not play basketball (give it a chance to heal) and to start squatting. VERY lightly at first, but building up. i also took glucosamine complex after after leg workout. i found that when i played bball, not the jumping, but the landing caused my knees to kill and they wouldnt heal till i quit playing.

You can do some heavy hamstring exercises: SLDL, Glute-Ham Raises, Good Mornings, etc. This stuff works your lower back and to some extent your glutes as well.
For my quads I just can't squat ****. The best I could do was box squats, but I had trouble doing any kind of weight without bouncing even on those, and normal squats/ATF have been kind of out of the question.
For me, the best bet is deadlift variations. Snatch-Grip deadlifts, hack squats, normal deadlifts, power cleans, etc. always seem to be the best option for me. Some of the sleds are a little easier for me as well.
At any rate, just go a little light. I've trained my legs pretty light for awhile now and just from being really good at progressing every week I have made better size gains on my legs than most the rest of my body.

That sounds like some good options for me. I figured that hamstring excercises wouldnt hurt my knees and have been doing them for some time. I just purchased some glucosamine and will be taking that from now on, hopefully it will help my glass knees.Originally Posted by Bizatch
As for deadlifts, i JUST started doing those as well. There is almost no pressure on the knees from doing them and strengthens the hammys at the same time. Sounds like we are in the same boat...problem is I have been doing the same routine then quitting, trying the same routine, then quitting...which is goig very light and working my up...by the time i work my way up to heavier weights thats when my knees start hurting...damned if i do, damned if i dont...
but your routine sounds like a good fit for me, and I am definitely going to keep those in mind. thanks.
I have crappy knees- both of them. I have had surgeries and have no ACL left in one. I now squat and do every other leg exercise. Sometimes I have pain for a couple of days afterward, sometimes I don't. You don't have to squat super heavy, just squat what you're comfortable with. Maybe you could alternate a couple of different leg exercises so you only squat say, every 3rd workout? Anyway, good luck with it! I take glucosamine too, and use knee wraps on heavy sets.
I would do a ton of Hindu Squats-do them daily and build the repetition level. I am willing to bet that after about 8-10 monts of this, you will be able to resume regular leg training.
reptition, repetition, repetition.....
:withstupiI had osgood and outgrew it. Had knee surgery a little over a year ago for ACL. Bodyweight to start. Hindu squats will help a lot. What else is wrong with your knees? They shouldn't pop from the osgoods. Atleast my knee never did. It would just get really sore after BBall and hurt to touch. It never bothered me with lifting, maybe I was just lucky.Originally Posted by Keith Wassung
My first question is, what the heck are hindu squats, and how do you do them?Originally Posted by Mike G
From Osgood's I developed Patella Alta (raised kneecap)...I have some knobby kneecaps man...Its not obvious when I'm standing up, but if I am sitting down with my leg extended outwards a little bit, my kneecaps look like Olive Oil's...and from this i did research and found that people with raised kneecaps can develop something called "chondromalacia patellae" from it...which pretty much is a condition which weakens your knees...which after reviewing the symptoms I can almost guarantee i have
I have been to doctors, they take x-rays and all say the same thing..."We don't see anything wrong." The last doctor I saw said x-rays on my knee showed no damage and that I am likely just suffering from patellar instablility...
I have dislocated my kneecap...TWICE...I would assume that is pretty unstable patellas...
but my knees crack like a motherfu*cker....when i bend down, when i get up...i can crack them by extending my leg backwards, or by sliding my knee area sideways...its bad.
I am hoping that a new strategy involving with neoprene wraps, glucosamine, and new training techinques will give my knees the lift I have been trying to develop for so long. I am running out of options other than surgery...and with no health benefits at the moment, that is not really an option.
Unilateral movements are movements that put focus on one limb. So if you're having problems with the knees. Do some one-legged squats per leg (No weights), or one-legged Leg Press per leg.Originally Posted by Ice Veins
I'll be trying this advice of starting light squats before adding weights, since it seems like a very logical idea of overcoming the problem of wonky knees.

As a sports doc who regularly treats football players with knee problems, I'll see if I can help you out. I assume you've had x-rays and a through examination of your knees. Perhaps more information is required. Any results on the x-ray? After you squat, where exactly do your knees hurt? Do they hurt during the exercise or after? How long do they usually hurt for? Other than OS, do you have any other problems with your knees?
Great, sounds good I would love some feedback from you.Originally Posted by smauel4799
All I can say about the X-Ray results is that the Doctors say there is no damage, and don't see anything wrong with my knees. Which always drives me crazy because i KNOW something is not right. After my 2 kneecap dislocations the doctors said there was no major damage to the ligaments or anything.
The last doctor I saw said that I basically suffer from patellar instability which can be corrected by strenghtening the area around it. Which I have been doing forever, but still feel like my knees are weak.
After squatting, I would say not until a couple of days later do my knees feel stiff and hurt when I walk. Not a particular location on the knee, just all over in general. During the squat, my knees just feel weak. Like they are not strong enough to support the weight past a certain point.
I was going heavy with my leg workouts and noticed that my knees were KILLING me when I was walking. I completely stopped working my legs all together, and they went back to normal. Now I am back in to my routine because when i STOP working them out, although they dont hurt as much, they feel weak. Damned if i do damned if i dont.
And other than OS, that is all I have been diagnosed with. I definitely have patella alta though, I can take a picture of my kneecaps, and you will see how raised and knobby they are from certain angles. And after reading about condromalacia patellae which is said to be a result of patella alta, I see that I have many of those symptoms as well.

---- — ELIZABETHTOWN — A jury has been selected for the trial of Paul J. Taylor.
The Keeseville man, 39, was indicted for his alleged role in the beating death of Robert M. Rennie.
Taylor is charged with second-degree murder, gang assault and possession of a weapon.
The search for a jury in Taylor's case began Monday and finished on Tuesday afternoon.
Opening arguments from District Attorney Kristy Sprague and Chief Public Defender Brandon Boutelle were presented to the court on Tuesday.
Testimony in the trial is expected to continue this morning. This is the third case to go before Essex County Court in connection with Rennie's death.
Rennie, 45, died of blunt force trauma and internal bleeding attributed to kicking injuries. He was found lifeless at the bottom of Mill Hill in Keeseville on Aug. 26 last year.
In connection with the case, Scott E. Denno, 20, was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter and gang assault after his trial ended in May. He received the maximum 25 years in prison for his role in the assault.
Then, Michael D. Rivers, also of Keeseville, was found guilty by a jury in late May of first-degree manslaughter and gang assault; his sentencing has been adjourned to November.
Taylor's criminal history includes a previous conviction for second-degree manslaughter for his part in the death of Marcus Chadwick in Moriah in 1996. Sentenced to five to 15 years in prison, Taylor was released on parole in 2010.

Adriana M. Wright, 42, of 242 Cossaduck Hill Road, North Stonington, Connecticut, faces Charlestown police felony charges of leaving the scene of an accident with serious injury resulting and reckless driving following a Fourth Division District Court hearing on Jan. 3.
Appearing before District Court judge Madeline Quirk, Wright was released on $10,000 personal recognizance, with the condition that she not drive until the resolution of her case. A felony screening date was scheduled for Feb. 22.
According to The Providence Journal, and several graduates of the school, Wright is a Spanish teacher at the Prout School in Wakefield, R.I.. The Journal reported that she has been placed on academic leave.
On Dec. 27, Rhode Island State Police arrested Wright and charged her with drunken driving, with an additional modifier of having a minor in the car. She was arraigned on Dec. 28 and pleaded not guilty. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for Jan. 7.
An affidavit filed by Charlestown police Sgt. Philip Gingerella, states that at about 9:14 p.m. on Dec. 27, police received a 911 call from a man at a home on Lauri Drive. The man told police that his 16-year-old son had been walking to Rippy's Liquor and Marketplace when he had been hit by a car.
Police said the boy was conscious but suffering from severe injuries, and he was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Charlestown police issued a bulletin to state police and local departments to look for a car with frontend damage consistent with a hit-and-run.
According to Rhode Island State Police, about 15 minutes after the bulletin they stopped a car driven by Wright on Route 4 in East Greenwich for suspicion of drunken driving. Police said they have received several calls complaining of Wright driving erratically.
Rhode Island State Police said that when interviewing Wright, she believed that she was on her way home to North Stonington after attending a party on Holly Ridge Road in South Kingstown. Police also said she couldn't explain where the frontend damage on her car had come from.
According to Rhode Island State Police, Wright was arrested at that time for drunken driving, and her car was impounded. A few days later, the victim was able to provide Charlestown police with a statement.
The victim told police that he couldn't remember anything about the car that had hit him, except that it had come up behind him while he was walking in the breakdown lane.
However, police said an examination of the victim's injuries matched with the damage to the car. As a result, Superior Court Associate Justice Melanie Thunberg issued a new arrest warrant for Wright on Dec. 30 at about 4:30 p.m.
Wright doesn't have any previous arrests in Rhode Island or Connecticut. The Westerly Sun is reporting that Wright's husband is Brian Wright, a captain in the New London Police Department.

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
St. Christopher's Bauhaus Hostel is a colorful hostel for all ages, situated in converted stable houses on the Langestraat, near the eastern edge of the old town. The hostel offers dorm rooms, private rooms and a few apartments.
The dorm rooms accommodate four to eight people, and are simple affairs with metal-framed bunk beds and sinks (linens included). Private rooms with twin beds are also no-frills, furnished simply with a bed and shower (the private rooms share toilets in the hallway with the dorms). There are no TVs or phones in these private rooms, but man are they cheap!
The St. Christopher's also rents out private apartments upstairs with full kitchen, TV, telephone and CD players. The apartments accommodate up to six guests, and require a minimum star of two nights.
Downstairs, the St. Christopher's dark, wood-paneled bar gets crowded and smoky at night, when locals and guests pack in to listen to live music and drink one of 50 beers on tap. The hostel also runs the adjacent "Sacre Coeur" restaurant, featuring yummy (and cheap) pizzas, salads and beer—they obviously know their market.
The hostel is a part of the St. Christopher's group of hostels, which touts the slogan, "Party hard, sleep easy." The group runs other hostels in Amsterdam, Berlin, Edinburgh, London, and Paris.

Multiple size options are available for the H2 van roof rack to fit your exact needs. Adjustable crossbars help to create a sturdy base and allow you to move where they are most needed. VanTech also utilizes an x-support along the side rails for added strength.
A van roof rack should be easy to use and the VanTech H2 van rack is no exception. Mounting is simple for most full size vans by clamping onto the rain gutter. Vans without rain gutters do require drilling for mounting. All mounting hardware is included with every H2 van rack.
