The Daily Star
---- — My late father's birthday came and went the other day, which got me to thinking about how much I see the world through his eyes, and not because I attempt to do so.
It just rubs off on you.
He was a working-class guy who earned a living by driving a tow truck in a tunnel snaking under Boston Harbor. He had a healthy appetite for local news, read three newspapers a day and often dozed off while an all-news radio station played at a deafening volume. He was quite analytic about how news was presented and often skeptical of how people portrayed themselves when they served up words for public consumption. He was never bashful about sharing his opinion when he read or saw something he considered malarkey.
I was reminded of this again early Friday morning as I watched a local cable news report on a sad saga I have been covering — the suspicious death of New Berlin mother Jennifer Ramsaran.
The newscaster, sitting in an Albany studio, said Jennifer Ramsaran disappeared after she left her home to go Christmas shopping at a Syracuse mall. That was it. There was no attribution. Whether this is true or not, I do not know. What is true is that this is the scenario provided to the Chenango County Sheriff's Office by her husband, Ganesh "Remy" Ramsaran, whom I have interviewed several times.
Attribution on this piece of information is crucial. One of the questions for detectives is whether they believe that the 36-year-old woman, while her three young children were in school, would have planned her day to spend three hours of driving alone (the approximate time it would take to make the round trip to Syracuse from New Berlin ) to shop.
At the risk of sounding like my Old Man, the viewers, or readers, ought to be told how the police got that information.
The fierce backlash by gun owners against the new firearms law pushed through by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in January is expected to spill into the Otsego County courthouse in Cooperstown on Wednesday morning, when the Board of Representatives takes up a proposal to support repeal of the statute, known as the New York SAFE Act.
As demonstrated by the impassioned rally held in Albany on Thursday, an event that was thoroughly covered by my colleague, Richard Whitby, in this newspaper Friday, this is not only an emotion-packed issue but one that also carries significant political ramifications.
If Republicans stay unified, it would appear that a resolution calling for repeal — one that has been teed up by Rep. James Powers, R-Butternuts — would likely be approved by the board, because the GOP members hold the most weighted votes.
Rep. Rich Murphy, D-town of Oneonta, noting that he is opposed to the SAFE Act, said he thinks a better strategy would be to call for the legislation to be amended, because there is widespread support for certain elements of the multifaceted legislation. Murphy noted the governor has already signaled that he is open to amendments.
The Democrat, who is the vice chairman of the county board, said Cuomo would have better served to have first assembled a blue ribbon panel of public safety experts to develop recommendations before rushing his legislation through the state Legislature.
Cuomo said this week that one amendment he wants to approve would allow fake assault weapons to be carried in New York when they are used in the production of movies.
"Should you be able to use these types of guns in movies?" Cuomo said in Albany. "The answer is yes."
Powers, who participated in the gun rights rally in Albany, said that statement by Cuomo shows the governor just doesn't get it.
"That's such a farce, because violent films are half the reason why some of these massacres go on," Powers said. "He's willing to excuse that, and then he wants to come out here and take your 10-round clips away from you."

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- A Tennessee hunter featured in cable television hunting shows has been sentenced for poaching a deer in Kansas in 2007.
William "Spook" Spann, from Dickson, Tenn., was sentenced Thursday under a plea agreement to pay a $10,000 fine, pay $10,000 in restitution and three years of federal supervised release.
Spann also lost his U.S. hunting privileges for six months, with another six months in Kansas.
Spann also was ordered to forfeit the antlers from the buck he killed while bow hunting in Stafford County.
Federal prosecutors say Spann, who is featured on several cable television shows and hunting videos, killed the white-tail deer on land owned by another person. His permit allowed him to hunt only on land that he owned or leased.

text: A defanged '07 CBR1000RR mill stuffed into a Hornet 600 chassis makes the CB plenty quick. They Say: "Aggressive, edgy, yet perfectly composed." We Say: "Liter-class Honda muscle in an Italian designer suit." The sun is finally out as we head back to the hotel, and we're attacking the roundabouts with manic aggression, taking this unexpected last chance to give Honda's new naked bike a proper flogging. Our hosts wouldn't be impressed, but they could hardly blame us. The CB1000R is built for fun, and for parking outside swanky Italian cafs. That's why they'd based the launch in Milan. But describing the 1000R as a poseur's bike is selling it short, because there's a lot more to it than its edgy styling. Designed and produced in Italy in collaboration with engineers from Japan, the bike is aimed at the European market. It's bursting with interesting shapes, from the round, blue position lamp in its snout to the single-sided swingarm. Think '80s Superbike, not flabby retro. Honda has been down this naked-CBR route before, and the CB900F Hornet was duller to ride than it was to look at. Simply scanning the CB1000R's spec sheet suggests it's a much more serious effort. Riding out of the city on wet roads brought to mind that old clich about an iron fist in a velvet glove. The fuel injection works impeccably, the engine is super-smooth, the gear change sweet and the controls light; everything ideally refined for precise control. The 16-valve lump (mainly '07 CBR1000RR with a CBF1000F cylinder head), pulls cleanly from below 2000 revs and by 4000 rpm is storming. Compensation for the loss of 50-odd top-end horses is noticeably more grunt below 6000, yet there's still a cheeky surge at about seven grand. From a lazy 70-mph cruise it ripped to 135 mph and would have sat at 150 mph for as long as neck muscles and police roadblocks allowed. Its only real flaw is a slight lack of character. The chassis is a match for the motor, too. With a curb weight of 478 pounds the Thou is no lightweight, but the low-slung exhaust contributes to the aim of mass centralization. The compact motor squeezes into an aluminum Hornet 600 frame, meaning the bike can be cranked through hairpins with a flick of its not particularly wide bars. Steering is superbly neutral and precise, helped by feedback from the 43mm upside-down fork taken from the '08 RR. Spring rates are slightly softer, with damping tweaked to suit. On standard settings the front end is firm enough to give good control, even when using the fierce stopping power provided by the RR-derived four-pot radial front brakes. The only part of the chassis that seemed subpar was the shock, which has no compression damping adjuster, nor rising-rate linkage. The rear end coped pretty well on the mostly smooth and damp mountain roads, but as we charged around the dry Tangenziale at speed, it clunked crudely over expansion joints. Still, what did you expect? This isn't a soft and comfy all-rounder; it's a naked sportbike with the performance and lack of practicality that suggests. No apology necessary for that. Back in 2002, I ended a review of the Hornet 900 with the warning: "Don't buy this motorcycle thinking you're getting some lean, mean streetfighter." Nobody will say that this time. 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Roland Brown Enjoyed this Post?

A new accreditation in breast magnetic resonance imaging is part of Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center's commitment to going beyond the standards to improve services, leaders said.
The three-year term of accreditation in breast MRI was awarded after a review by American College of Radiology. The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety.
"Accreditation is not required to get payment," imaging director Erin Goins said, explaining the breast care center and Windber Medical Center sought the accreditation to bring services to the highest standards.
The accreditation process looked at staff education levels, quality of images produced, accuracy of calibrations on the equipment and a host of other criteria.
"This is a very important component to breast imaging," Goins said, explaining that MRI of the breast offers valuable information about many breast conditions that may not be discernible on mammogram or ultrasound images.
"The biggest reason to do an MRI is an abnormality or family history of breast cancer," Goins said.
The MRI scan uses magnetism, radio waves and a computer to produce images of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures.
It is often used to get a second look at suspicious lesions shown on mammograms.

I write from the left on politics and policy.
It turns out that being a good corporate citizen is as important to selling pizzas as the thinness of the crust or the quality of the cheese.
If you don't believe it, just ask Papa John CEO, John Schnatter.
As covered—and criticized—in this column in great detail, Mr. Schnatter decided to mix his politics with his pepperoni when suggesting that he would be cutting the work hours for Papa John employees in order to bring them below the 30 hour per week threshold that would require Schnatter to provide his employees with healthcare benefits.
It turns out, the pizza eating public did not approve.
Indeed, so serious was the reaction that Schnatter was forced to publish an op-ed piece where he sought to convince us that he never really intended to cut back worker hours but had simply been speculating on what he might do in response to the legislation.
According to YouGov BrandIndex, a leading marketing survey that measures brand perception in the marketplace (called "Buzz"), Papa John's had good reason for concern as the pizza chain's brand identity has plummeted from a high of 32 on election day, to a remarkably low score of 4 among adults who have eaten at causal dining restaurants during the past month.
Papa John is not alone in his anti-Obamacare misery.
Fast food server, Applebee's, possessed a healthy Buzz score of 35 before Zane Terkel, CEO of one of the company's largest franchisees, appeared on television to complain about the law and to announce that he would not be building more restaurants or hiring any more workers in response to his objections to Obamacare.
Applebee's "pre-Terkel" Buzz score of 35 now sits at a pathetic 5.
I don't imagine Mr. Terkel will be getting many Christmas cards this year from other Applebee's franchise owners.
While these corporate complainers have sought to explain away the hit they are experiencing at the hands of the public's perception, one such company is facing the music straight on. Darden Restaurants, Inc.— owner of Olive Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse—has lowered its profit projections for the quarter ending November 25th, acknowledging that its bad numbers are the result of poorly performing promotions, Superstorm Sandy and…wait for it…the poor publicity it engendered by its decision to test out a plan to cut back on healthcare costs by putting more workers on part-time schedules.
Check out these rather epic declines:
Hopefully, other businesses seeking to avoid their responsibilities under the healthcare law—such as Walmart who intends to cut back employee hours in the effort to push workers onto Medicaid rolls rather than take responsibility for their employees' health care—will get the message.

Eh . . . Buzz scores are one thing, what about their profits though? Sounds like the only one that has a taken any hit to profits is Darden and even then, you can debate how much of that is due to politicking. My impression of all those restaurants is up, I'm glad to see someone stand up to the gov't. It's ridiculous that the gov't can give companies the shaft but then those companies are demonized for pointing that out. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly awash in cash to go and support them and besides my dining decisions are made based on many other factors then politics, as I'm sure many people's are.
Have to agree with the commenter who brought up Chick-Fil-A. It's a different issue but they haven't exactly been penalized for their stance. Politics and dining don't really mix.
First, Darden Restaurant Group never said that negative publicity re: Obamacare had anything to do with their soft earnings. Please read earnings release from Darden: Click here – http://bit.ly/SEua9e
This is classic for liberals as well – Obama, Pelosi & Reid ram Obamacare legislation through congress in spite of the fact that a strong majority of Americans were firmly against it. Then, when the practical job killing effects begin to be realized, the same liberals simply expect those villanious corporations to just go along with it even if Obamacare is highly adverse to such nasty corporation's ability to stay in business.
I am using facts, which are clearly spelled out in Darden's press release, and there is far from uniformity analyst opinion about the factors causing the softness in Darden's business. It is liberals like you that have decided that Darden's business performance is a direct result of bad publicity with respect to their actions taken in response to Obamacare.
Again, I find it fascinating how you somehow are all knowing and seeing about this issue, but everyone who disagrees with you is somehow deluded, biased, selectively using talking points, etc. All the more fascinating that someone who is a career cartoon animator is now miraculously transformed into a high-level healthcare expert. Sorry, Rick, but I'm not buying it. If you were really such an expert, you wouldn't have to resort to name calling and nasty responses to people who make comments with which you disagree.
This boycott cannot end yet, there is still space above zero and these bastards will do whatever it takes to maintain their profitability at their employees expense ! I am urging all family and friends to keep up the boycott till these morons treat their employees well by RAISING their salaries and INCREASING their benefits well above industry standards. While we have the pigs caught in the fence and squealing is NOT the time to stop with the pressure ! Consumers rule and these wastrels must be brought to this basic understanding ! We cannot back off now ! There are a lot of good restaurants that DESERVE our business out there. Let's find and reward them !
No problem with that Rick, just want to keep the pressure on as long as necessary. Call it whatever you like, but I will continue to encourage family and friends to find new sources of entertainment and make choices based on business performance ! Right now the pigs ARE caught under the fence, and I will not ease up because they are squealing !
No disrespect to the writer as I'm sure you are very educated and familiar with the new Healthcare law, but from someone working in a mid-size company facing this new law I can understand these companies concerns and their need to look at their options such as changing employees from full-time to part-time in an effort to avoid the costs associated with this new law. And if you choose to call me a liar, as you did some of the other people who commented, so be it. But in the Bill, employers cannot charge employees more than 9.5% of their annual income for health insurance premiums. Most companies that currently offer insurance, pay around 40 to 50 percent of the employee premiums. With this new mandate, companies (like mine) will have to foot upwards of 75 to 80 percent of the premium. That's an incredible increase. To you that might not sound like much, but to a mid-sized company in a tough economy, it's considerable. Couple that to the fact that now employees have more options and can choose to opt out and go to the government plan which will in all reality probably be much cheaper (and I'm not saying I would blame them), some companies (again like mine) might not even have enough participation to meet the eligibility requirements to get a group insurance provider to even pick them up. And guess what that means? That means those companies instantly fall into the 'government fine' category for not offering group health insurance. And like it or not, these fines and increased premium costs are all added to company expenses which cut into company profits. When company profits go down, companies have to make cuts in other areas and some companies go under. It's called business. And that's how it works.
On a side note, my company has faced two considerable price hikes in group insurance over the last two years since the Bill took effect. Both were over 15%. So suggesting that there aren't any considerable price increases in insurance policies, isn't entirely accurate. And the part about insurance carriers having to refund premium amounts if at least 80% wasn't spent on Healthcare, there was a study released last week that said many private insurance carriers operated at a loss last year because of that mandate. I imagine that mandate will put some insurance carriers out of business. Insurance for all is a wonderful thing, but nothing is ever free and all things come at a cost.
This blogger seems to think that bad policy and law should not be resisted by its citizens. Papa John's and any other business has the right and obligation to take lawful measures to avoid, over turn and change bad policy. I doubt that this will have any long term effect on the businesses that are leaders of this movement as many more are following suit. For those of us who believe the healthcare bill is a mistake, we are thankful for companies that are entering the debate.

Cooper Point Journal organization members commit their efforts to two primary purposes: compiling submissions from students at large to create a newspaper that focuses on and reflects the student citizens of The Evergreen State College and examines how matters, particularly within the college, affect and involve students. The newspaper - also named Cooper Point Journal - serves as a medium for informing and entertaining students and as a forum for the ideas and opinions of students and others.Cooper Point Journal members also commit themselves to providing a learning laboratory for effective, responsible expression and communication, whether the expression of communication is in the newspaper, with an individual or within a group. This includes the discipline of journalism and is in keeping with the responsibilities that accompany the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and the Freedom of Speech article of the Constitution of the State of Washington.
The learning laboratory aspect of the CPJ organization manifests itself by developing and maintaining effective and responsible managing of operations and finances of an endeavor (newspaper) organization, as well as dealing with such life challenges as organizing efforts to develop and maintain an inclusive organization, establishing a group culture of inclusive and responsible decision making, personal and collective accountability, leadership that focuses of fulfilling organization goals and objectives by fostering an environment of consensus and cooperation rather than focusing on teh decision-making authority and responsibilities of leadership, confronting injustice and discrimination.

This recipe was my worst cooking experience ever. The flavor was horrifying after a messy and time consuming preparation. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone with functioning taste buds.
My daughter spent a lot of time and money preparing this dish for a family gathering. What a humiliating experience it turned out to be for her! All the guests were aghast upon tasting this dish! They turned greener with each bite and no one finished it. The dinner party was a disaster. I'm sorry but this "sesame chicken" was absolutely not meant for human consumption.
I love Sesame Chicken but this recipe was not to my taste at all

Here is the last edition of questions and answers. These are questions I've been asked by people of various ages through the years. The answers I share are from my perspective, experience and what I've learned over the years.
Q: How do blind people learn to do math or math problems?
A: In grade school, blind students use the abacus to learn basic math skills. Later on, a lot of math can be written in Braille. Blind people follow along in their Braille books and materials just like their sighted peers follow along in their printed books and materials. For graphing, there are cork boards with a rubber graph grid affixed to it. Push pins can be stuck in to represent points on the graph. And rubber bands can be stretched around two pushpins to form a tactile line between the two points. Geometric shapes can be traced on sturdy foil or plastic sheets. In both cases they result in raised line drawings for the blind student to feel. There are also talking calculators available. I had the ability to do certain math functions in my head. I was able to do simple math and long division in my head as well as geometry and trigonometry. The more numbers and figures and variables there were the harder it was to juggle them all in my mind, though.
A: Do blind people dream? What do they see when they dream?
A: I have never asked anyone who was blind from birth about this so I don't have any answer for sure about those folks and what they might hear or otherwise sense during dreams. Physiologically I have to think that something goes on for them during REM sleep just like it does for anyone else. I do dream and I often dream as though I'm watching a movie. I see scenes and hear sounds. Often my dreams have elements of seeing and not seeing. I may be walking around in my dream being able to see everything around me but I might still be using my cane. Or I might go from being able to see the stars in the sky in one part of my dream to not being able to see anything, and then back to seeing things in the next part of my dream. But I always dream and they're made up of sounds, textures and often they're made up of sights, too.
disABILITY: Q&A on math, dreams, beauty, fear
Here is the last edition of questions and answers. These are questions I've been asked by people of various ages through the years. The answers I share are from my perspective, experience and what I've learned over the years.
- disABILITY
Living intentionally helps bring life under control
By Kate Pavlacka Life calls a lot.
disABILITY: Flying is possible, even with full plate, if you take time for yourself
She turns a scrutinous eye on herself, looking for opportunities to grow, and taking cross sections of herself to examine her growth rings through time.
disABILITY: Breaking free of schooling 'rules' opens new avenues for learning
By Kate Pavlacka I went back to school for massage in April, and, already, I am halfway done with the program and my 1,000 hours of hands-on experience.
disABILITY: Varied interests not a sign of unfocused life; it's about self-awareness
By Kate Pavlacka Recently I was challenged to come up with my biggest passion in life, and while it took me 2½ weeks of extensive consideration of what that might be for me, I came to the realization that my big passion in life is self-awareness.
disABILITY: You can't live your life according to the labels placed upon you
I sit down to read an article of interest online and my nervous system trips over itself. I try to hear my teachers lecturing at school, but my nervous system hums and crackles while the words drip through my mind like thick muddy drops. The information isn't fully processed.
disABILITY: 'Disability' is all a matter of how you look at, define it
By Kate Pavlacka
Don't believe your thesaurus; it lies to you.
disABILITY: Painfully updating my computer skills
As a blind computer user, I don't use a mouse to navigate my way through program functions, menu systems or web pages. Instead, I use the keyboard for everything. I am able to use the number pad for a lot more than writing calculations. I also make use of the function keys and hot key combinations to get to different elements on a page.
disABILITY: Make people focus on personality
It all started back in September. I was sitting on the floor of my living room with one of my female friends, moping around and exchanging stories of prior man troubles we both had experienced.
disABILITY: Fear of change can be crippling
It may seem like an oxymoron, but within nature and life, change is a universal constant.
disABILITY: Find child-like magic lost as adults
The price of having a child is high, but the rewards surpass any monetary value put on your little bundle of joy and energy.
disABILITY: Disabled, able-bodied very much alike
Growing is a skill that takes time and effort; groaning, however, is only a reflex.
disABILITY: 'Disabled' doesn't mean 'unskilled'
Did you know that blindness is the third-most feared thing in this country after AIDS and cancer, and keeps employment of the visually impaired limited to 26 percent of those ages 21 to 64?
disABILITY: Perception, not sight, important in life
Would you rather be deaf or blind? That was a question posed on a website I was on recently.

Cal Anderson Park
Olympic Sculpture Park
- Name: Olympic Sculpture Park
- Purpose: to develop a vibrant, 8.5-acre downtown green space for people to experience art outdoors and connect with Elliott Bay
- Year Built: 2007
- Address: between Elliott and Western Ave. and Broad and Eagle St.
- Client: Seattle Art Museum and Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation
- Designer: Weiss/Manfredi Architects
- Cost: $30,000,000
- Design Commission Reviews:
- briefing (October 19, 2000)
- concept design (June 20, 2002)
- design development (November 6, 2003)
- street and right of way vacations (January 15, 2004)
- street and right of way vacations (April 15, 2004)
Design Commission's Influence
The Design Commission believed the development of the Olympic Sculpture Park afforded the City a great opportunity to add much-needed downtown green space and reclaim part of Seattle's waterfront and return it to a natural setting.
The Design Commission made several recommendations for improvement to the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, the Seattle Art Museum and their design team:
Overall Concept and Direction
- bring the park down to the water's edge to provide user's access to Elliott Bay, otherwise the park could be anywhere
- select a designer who can develop a new concept for a sculpture park, and who can recognize the many creative opportunities of the site
- ensure that the park, with its multiple levels and waterfront gardens at the shoreline, be seen as a single, unified space
- think innovatively about art within the landscape and the city, especially at this large scale
Water's edge. (Photo by Kadie Bell.)
Urban Design and Neighborhood Fit
- integrate the park with the urban context and make it easily accessible
- create a visible, welcoming threshold at the intersection of Broad Street and Alaskan Way
- better address the pedestrian experience along Elliott Avenue, which now functions as a highway
- integrate the urban design intentions of the nearby Potlatch Trail and Growing Vine Street projects
Site Planning
- design the canted planes to minimize the need for handrails and to mitigate the noise from Elliott Avenue and surrounding streets
- keep the proposed differentiated places and gardens
- define appropriate scales for the four different garden concepts
- develop secondary paths and social spaces in the park
- create multiple pedestrian connections to the waterfront
- create clear distinctions between the valley, grove, and shore
- make the shore area large enough to work as planned
- keep the proposed placement of the utilities and lighting
- leave some areas of the park left undefined to allow for experimentation by future artists
- develop a salmon-friendly experimental tidal garden
Design Refinements
- clearly articulate the differences between the major entrances to the park
- reexamine the concrete walls along Elliott Avenue and to find ways to make them not as large and oppressive
- redesign the fence along Western so that it is wrought iron and that people may see through it into the park
See other projects in the Visual Resume.

MIAMI, Okla. —
Skye Reece was visibly shaken Friday by the pronouncement of her sentence of life in prison for the murder of 17-month-old Lanceton Hollenbeck even though the judge left open a chance for eventual parole.
The jury that convicted the young Quapaw woman of first-degree murder in December recommended a life term with the possibility of parole. A pre-sentence investigation recommended the same, and that's what the Ottawa County district attorney was seeking.
Under Oklahoma law, just two sentences are possible for first-degree murder: life without parole and life with the possibility of parole.
But defense attorney Andrew Meloy asked District Judge Robert Haney at Reece's sentencing hearing in Ottawa County District Court to consider granting his client probation for some portion of her life sentence.
"For the record, Ms. Reece is a girl who just turned 21," Meloy said. "She has no prior criminal record."
The judge conceded that the defendant's relative youth and the fact that she has a 1-year-old son who will be affected by her imprisonment add to the tragedy of the case. But it has been most tragic for the child who lost his life, the judge said before announcing his decision to stick with the jury's sentencing recommendation.
District Attorney Eddie Wyant expressed agreement with the judge's decision following the hearing and said his office will oppose any request of the defendant for modification of the sentence.
"This was a tragedy, but the severity of the crime warrants this type of punishment," Wyant said. "I don't think she was deserving of probation."
The Hollenbeck boy was the son of Reece's former boyfriend, Ryan Nowlin, with whom she has a son in common named Clayton. Lanceton lived with his mother, Megan Hollenbeck, but would stay with his father on weekend visits.
Nowlin testified at the trial that Lanceton started crying when he had to leave for work at High Winds Casino the night of Feb. 11, 2012. He had picked Lanceton up and kissed him and set him down next to Reece and Clayton on his way out the door.
Reece called him shortly after he got to work and summoned him back home. He rushed back to find emergency medical technicians already at their house.
Reece told emergency personnel and police that she was feeding Clayton in the living room when she heard a thud in the children's bedroom with no subsequent crying. She went to see what had happened and found Lanceton unconscious on the floor, she told police. She gave him some rescue breaths, and took him to the bathroom and wet his head with a cloth in an effort to revive him, she told police.
The first officer on the scene testified that she was holding the boy and supporting his head on her shoulder when he arrived. The child was unresponsive and gasping for air. His head and hair were damp, and he had a bump above and behind his ear.
The child was flown by medical helicopter to a hospital in Tulsa, where he died. An autopsy determined the cause of death to be cranial and cerebral injuries from blunt-force trauma. He had a large fracture on the left side of his skull with smaller branching fractures. A doctor and medical examiner testified at trial that the boy's injuries could not have been caused by a fall from the small bed in his room onto a carpeted floor.
Reece reportedly told an Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agent that the child fell from the bed, and that was her story and she was sticking to it. She chose not to testify at trial.
Nowlin and Reece were engaged to be married at the time of the boy's death. Nowlin testified at trial that they since had parted, and he now has custody of the boy they have in common.
Skye Reece told police she heard a single thud and found Lanceton Hollenbeck unconscious on the floor of his bedroom. One of her neighbors testified that he felt "three real hard bumps" through the carpeted concrete floor of the four-plex where Reece and the boy's father lived.

Many riders say that the 2005 Honda CRF 100F is very reliable, light-weight, and a great starter motorcycle for novice riders. Riders say the 2005 Honda CRF 100F models are great for younger riders and adults with a smaller stature as well. Most riders are able to get these motorbikes up to speeds of around 55 miles per hour. Many riders prefer these Honda CRF 150F models over Yamahas because of their superior engine performance on hills and low-end torque. Riders love these motorbikes because they rarely fail to start and can handle nearly any type of adverse road conditions. Riders noted that some of the 2005 CRF motorbikes take some time to fully break in.
The 2005 CRF youth models make great birthday or holiday gifts for young riders that are interested in learning to ride motorbikes off-road and on dirt trails. Riders say that the smaller 2005 CRF models are great starter motorbikes for youngsters and novice riders as well. Riders also love these motorbikes because they typically provide great fuel economy.

RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes scored just one goal Thursday. But in this game, one was enough.
Canes goaltender Justin Peters made 21 saves while shutting out the New York Islanders 1-0 in the Metropolitan Division game at PNC Arena.
Radek Dvorak scored in the first period on a redirection, giving the Hurricanes a rare early lead. The Canes and Isles have had some free-wheeling, high-scoring games in the past, but this was would not be one of them.
It was a real, good solid effort from everyone, Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. Right now, its just finding ways to win games again.
The Canes (6-7-3) found a way Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers, tying the score in the final minute of regulation and winning in overtime on Manny Malhotras goal. That ended a five-game losing streak and relieved some fast-growing tension.
On Thursday, the Canes maintained the one-goal lead thanks in large part to Peters, who earned his third career shutout. But it was also about players simply making the plays that needed to be made.
One example was defenseman Brett Bellemore laying a hit on the Isles Kyle Okposo in the Carolina zone in the first period as Okposo attempted to get off a shot.
Then defenseman Jay Harrison did the same to Islanders captain John Tavares in the second period, flattening the star forward, and Canes forward Drayson Bowman helped out with a strong backcheck on a New York rush in the second.
I thought we played a great team game, Bellemore said. We did all the little things well, especially in our zone. Theyre very good down low and have some active (defensemen) and are good using them to get pucks through.
The forwards came down and helped out. And Petey obviously played phenomenal.
No Peters save was bigger than the one on the Isles Michael Grabner. It came with 44 seconds left in the second period after a Canes turnover enabled Grabner, one of the NHLs swiftest skaters, to roar down ice with the puck.
I know how fast he is. He seems like he has a breakaway every game, Peters said. I knew he had a lot of speed coming in so I tried to come out and match his speed.
With Canes forward Alexander Semin backchecking, Peters said Grabner had to make a quicker play than he wanted and Peters got his right pad on the forehand shot.
Peters, making his sixth straight start, made a sharp save on a Thomas Hickey shot off a rebound in the first period and gloved a heavy shot by Tavares in the third. Late in regulation, he snared a shot by Travis Hamonic from the high slot.
Hes given us a confidence that we can just go out and play our game and play it the way we want to play it, Muller said. Hes done his job and weve gotten timely goals the last two games.
Dvoraks even-strength goal came six minutes, 39 seconds into the first. Defenseman Ron Hainsey stopped the puck on the blue line, then whipped it toward the net. Dvorak deflected it in front.
Kevin Poulin, in net for the Isles (6-7-3), played well and made 23 saves in the game. But he couldnt stop that one by Dvorak, who scored his third of the season. The Canes had not scored the first goal in a game since Oct. 19 -- against the Isles.
The Canes kept Tavares and Okposo contained most of the night, limiting each to one shot on net. Defensemen Justin Faulk and Andrej Sekera did some heavy work, but so did Bellemore and others in clearing away rebounds and blocking shots whiles the Isles hurt themselves with 23 missed shots.
Theyre skilled guys and if you can get an extra shot on them, get in their head, get your nose dirty with them thats not their game, Bellemore said of Tavares and Okposo. Maybe it will add to the frustration, maybe not.
Bellemore also dropped the gloves, fighting the Isles Matt Martin in the second period. Carolinas Nathan Gerbe also tangled with Hamonic later and there were other skirmishes.
I got my nose dirty a little, Bellemore said, smiling.
But it was that kind of game -- more scrappy than stylistic.

GOODWELL, Okla. —
Authorities were hoping to reopen part of U.S. Highway 54 in the Oklahoma Panhandle that was closed after two trains collided near Goodwell.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Betsy Randolph says officials were working to open one eastbound lane of the highway, which was closed in both directions between Guymon and Texhoma after the Sunday morning crash.
Randolph says officials had to divert traffic off the highway west onto U.S. Highway 64 in Guymon and then south onto Oklahoma Highway 95.
She said people were being encouraged to pay attention to the traffic and not the train collision to avoid any possible accidents.
Three crewmembers are missing after the two Union Pacific freight trains collided. A conductor of one of the trains survived.

These are legal wattage and won't melt your sockets like some ofthe 100W bulbs do. H1 and H7 are okay. 9006 and 9007 not so much.
If they allowed two rebates, shipping would be free and this might actually be worth doing. As is, meh. Not worth the trouble.

He got dropped twice and turtled up, it may have been a tiny bit early, but I think it was a good stoppage.

The space oddity that caused a meteor to explode over western Russia on Friday, just hours before a 150-foot asteroid flew by Earth, was enough to send a North Carolina geologist on an odyssey through the states history.
As videos of the fiery meteor over Russias Ural Mountains went viral across the Internet, Chris Tacker, curator of geology at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh, began a hunt for yellowed North Carolina newspaper clippings from a similar event in 1934.
Mysterious Shock in Kinston Area, read one headline that Tacker found in the museum basement.
Students Report They Saw Meteor: Two Peace students and 4 State College Boys Saw Bright Flash, said another.
At 1:15 p.m. on Dec. 4, 1934, a fireball raced across North Carolina skies, followed by an explosion that shook the Eastern North Carolina town of Kinston.
Some thought a moonshine still had exploded. Others speculated the city gasworks had blown up on the edge of town.
Whatever It Was It Gave Us Something [To] Talk About: Blast, a headline in The Raleigh Times stated at the time.
Eventually, it became clear that a meteorite, weighing more than 100 pounds, had crashed into the Earth near the Pitt County town of Farmville, creating a crater about 6 feet wide and 31/2 feet deep.
At that time, the curator of geology at the natural sciences museum, Harry Davis, tracked the path of the meteorite across the state through correspondence with friends.
A small piece of the meteorite was found on Dec. 7 on the Cecil Dixon farm. The children of Robert Wainright dug up the 121/2-pound fragment, according to reports that Tacker found in the old newspapers.
Several months later, in February 1935, workers plowing the fields for spring planting came across a much larger fragment, weighing 111 pounds.
Davis, the curator, bought the Farmville meteorite fragment for $40, and it has become an integral part of the museums collection.
Tacker pulled it from the safe Friday, with the help of a few strong students. He elaborated on how the large rock can offer much more than a glimpse of the 1930s in rural North Carolina it offers a window into a universe that spans billions of years and miles. Thin slices of the stone placed under a microscope yield colors, patterns and light refraction that help explain the history of the universe.
The minerals tell you the whole story, Tacker said.
29 meteorites found in N.C.
Though it is unusual to capture a meteors journey on cellphones and car dashboard cameras, as some Russians did Friday, it is not uncommon for meteorites to plummet into our world.
There are 29 officially described meteorites that have been found in North Carolina, according to Tacker.
The museum displays fragments from Bald Mountain, Moore County, Deep Springs and the Uwharrie area of the Piedmont.
Searching for meteorites
Meteorite hunting has become a popular pastime, and amateur geology groups often fan out across the state and nation to search, said Christian Iliadis, a physics professor at UNC-Chapel Hill.
TVs Science Channel even has a program called Meteorite Men based on two guys who scour the Earth looking for buried meteorites.
Geologists, such as Tacker, anxiously await the details of Fridays latest treasure from space.
I would like to see what its made of, he said. I want to see what kind of rock theyve got.

Live Performance by Suzie Brown & Flo Anito
If Suzie Brown had an anthem, it'd have to be the twangy "Heartstrings," off her same-named debut. A string-soaked ode to unrequited love, the debut single delicately marked her transition from Harvard-educated cardiologist to singer-songwriter, now musing on matters of the heart. In the three years since making good on her extracurricular activity, she's been named the Best of Philly (by Philadelphia magazine) and opened for such kindred spirits as Lyle Lovett. "Bluesy, folky, achy, sweet-voiced Suzie Brown… she's part Emmylou Harris, part Allison Krauss, and totally worth seeing" (Philadelphia Magazine)
Local artist, Flo Anito's new album, "No Dustbunnies", has been a best seller on both CDbaby and Digstation. This exciting new record along with her lively performance style, powerful voice, and candid lyrics make her a force to be reckoned with so... look out!"Singer/Songwriter Flo Anito creates the perfect balance of piano jazz, heartbreaking but memorable lyrics" (DC Music)

Via The Roosevelts:
Ask 50 NFL fans who their favorite player in the league is and you'll probably get 50 different answers. Popularity at its core is so subjective, if only there was a way to scientifically rank popularity. Now there is. Using a ranking system we've developed that takes into account social media and web search rankings we're calling Algorithm X, we've ranked the top 100 NFL players according to the internet.
To produce the numbers we compiled a list of the top 100 players in the league. For each player we compiled their number of Facebook Fans, Twitter Followers, Google Search Results and Bing Search Results, ranked each from most to least. The player at the top receives 100 and the player at the bottom gets 1. The outlier number for each player is thrown out so the maximum possible score is 300. Example: if a player is top on Facebook, Twitter and Google they would recieve the max score of 300. Simple.
Who will come in at number one? The top 10 are listed below. The full list can be found here.
10. Cam Newton - 259 points
As a rookie, the former Hesiman Trophy winner took the NFL by storm last season, putting up eyee-popping numbers in Carolina and those numbers obviously translate to the internet as well.
9. Eli Manning - 264 points
Last year, people questioned whether Peyton's little brother was elite. He said he was and a second Super Bowl win seemed to validate that notion.
T-7. Aaron Rodgers - 274 points
The reigning NFL MVP did the impossible and made the people of Green bay forget about ol' #4.
T-7. Chris Johnson - 274 points
2011 was a down year for the former 2000-yard rusher, but the outspoken Titans back is still as popular as ever online.
T-5. Drew Brees - 281 points
Shattering Dan Marino's passing yards record (along with an ongoing battle with the commissioner over the bounty scandal) has made the NOLA QB a popular search engine target.
T-5. Reggie Bush - 281 points
Brees' former teammate on the Saints may be more popular for his off-the-field antics then for what he does between the white lines.
4. Peyton Manning - 290 points
He may have fewer Super Bowls than his little bro, but Peyton is still the most popular Manning on the internet. But he isn't as popular as the man he replaced in Denver...
3. Tim Tebow - 291 points
Tebow, Tebow Tebow...a 2011 season filled with miracle comebacks, the 'Tebowing' phenomenon and a trade to the circus that is the New York Jets makes Tebow the third most popular player on this list. Not too bad for a backup quarterback.
2. Michael Vick - 292 points
Easily the most polarizing player in the top 10, you either love Michael Vick or you despise him. Either way, you can't argue that the Eagles QB is not one of the most compelling figures in the NFL.
1. Tom Brady - 293 points
Want to be the most popular NFL player on the web? Just win three Super Bowls while putting up stats normally reserved for video games and while you're at it, marry a Brazilian supermodel. It's that easy.
The full list of the top 50 can be viewed here.

Dominic Chianese Can't Avoid the Bread
Saturday, March 15
I went to the Mansion Diner on the corner of 86th and York for breakfast. There are very few regular diners around these days. It's a good one. I always have eggs over with sausage. I'm trying to be on a diet. I'm a bread eater, and I love bread and pasta. I used to be skinny, but now I'm getting a pot belly and it's not good for a singer to have a pot belly. I don't mind it as an actor, but as a singer… It's hard to stop the bread, especially in the Italian restaurants.
That night we went to Luca. The veal Milanese. is really excellent. My real favorite is Ottimo. Salvatore Esposito is an incredible cook. [To gauge an Italian restaurant's authenticity] I'll always order the chicken, and if that's not done well, I know I'd never eat there again. I always order marinara sauce — I like the Neapolitan style. I don't like heavy sauces, and I don't put a lot of sauce in my food. I can tell by the look and by the aroma when it's great stuff.
Sunday, March 16
We went to brunch at York Grill. It landed on our block on 89th and York in '95. A lot of other restaurants failed so we started going there. It's become a favorite. They have a great cheese dessert inside of a parfait glass with raspberry sauce. My favorite dish is the pork chops, and they make a good pasta. Brunch is four courses with a mimosa, Champagne, or Bloody Mary. I usually just have orange juice. I had a ham and Cheddar-cheese omelette. I like omelettes at that time on Sunday.
I eat at Elaine's once in a while, believe it or not. People think it's just a hangout, but the food is very delicious. I have the rigatoni with marinara sauce — they put sweet sauce on it for me. The cook is a great guy.
Monday, March 17
We went to Quattro Gatti It's a Neopotlian place. They make a great marina sauce. I always like the branzino — it's delicious. This time I had the minestrone.
Tuesday, March 18
I had a rehearsal at home, so I didn't go out to eat. I sing with Franco, the owner of La Bella Ferrara. It's a little place on Grand Street — it's been there about 30 years. It has a pastry shop, and next door it has a coffee shop. Franco sings these wonderful songs. He sings to these wonderful old Italian records you don't hear anymore.
I stayed home and ordered pizza. I'm not much of a cook, although my grandfather (my mother's father from Italy) was a chef. My mother worked with him. Her chicken and roast potatoes and pasta were excellent. She made wonderful soups during the Depression days when I was born. She made a good a steak pizzaiola. She couldn't ruin a steak if you paid her a million dollars.
