Baltimore County Police have charged a 23-year-old Owings Mills man with sexually abusing two 14-year-old boys this spring.
Anthony Maurice Cottle, of the unit block of Stonemark Court, is charged with sexual abuse of a minor, fourth-degree sex offense, second-degree assault, third-degree sex offense and sodomy, according to a Baltimore County Police press release. He is currently being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $150,000 bond.
Cottle has been employed with the Baltimore County Fire Department since December 2011, but has been suspended without pay pending adjudication of the criminal charges. He is also a volunteer with the Lansdowne Volunteer Fire Department, where he was also suspended pending adjudication of the case, police said.
One of the victims told police last week that Cottle abused him while he was living with the boy's family in the Lansdowne area, and that he witnessed Cottle abusing one of friends as well, police said. Both boys were abused between May 1, 2012, and June 1, 2012, police said.
The investigation is ongoing and police believe there are other victims, the release said. Anyone with additional information may contact Baltimore County Police's Crimes Against Children Unit at 410-853-3650, or call the police after hours at 410-307-2020.

Calling all horror film cinephiles!
Mike Gutridge, the Baltimore County man behind The Bone Garden—a classic style horror film, partially shot in Lutherville—needs your help to finish his picture.
Watch the trailer above.
Gutridge's film has raised $2,625, en route to a $25,000 goal to finish his dream project. He explains:
Our campaign is extremely important because while we had seed money from an Angel investor to get our film through production, we do not have the funds to support the equally important post-production phase that involves editing, color correction, a musical score, sound effects and many other layers of fine-tuning that transform raw footage into a complete story.
We have a great script and wonderful performances but we must have a finished product to showcase those talents. That's where you come in!
Donations can be made at IndieGoGo.com.
Gutridge teamed up with his old friends, and Lutherville's first-family of horror, The Jokesters who were responsible for makeup and special effects for the film.
Part of the film was actually shot at the The Jokesters'—Steve Bauer and Marianne Wittlesberger's—historic Lutherville home (watch video).
The Jokesters first teamed up with Gutridge for The Timonium Scaregrounds, as Bauer explained, "He just showed up to the Scaregrounds and started scaring the hell out of people and we just became friends."
The Scaregrounds, many will remember, was the transformation of the Maryland State Fairgrounds racetrack grandstand into an elaborate haunted house.
Patch is hoping to update its readers on the status of the Scaregrounds returning to the area in 2012. But in the meantime, you can keep the scares coming by reading more about Gutridge's campaign to fund his film.
Post-production is costly and we need your help to get through this important phase to make our film look and sound good. We had many volunteers and strong community support during production and we want them to see that their sacrifices and gifts to us were worth their time and effort.
We also need funds to enter and attend film festivals here at home and hopefully abroad where the thriller/horror genre is thriving.
Film festivals will help us to gain greater exposure and if we're lucky may help us to get all important distribution so that you can watch The Bone Garden on TV and online!

TACOMA, Wash. – Mikal Thomsen admits he kicked the tires for more than a decade.
"It's fun to think about being an owner and then you think about what being an owner of a minor league baseball team is," he said.
But the 54-year-old wireless magnate couldn't resist and, on Monday, closed a deal to purchase the Tacoma Rainiers.
"It's a big part of my childhood," Thomsen said about his days running around Cheney Stadium.
He grew up in University Place and graduated from Curtis High School. In between, he spent a lot of time at the stadium off Tyler Street.
"My dad was a pharmacist. My mom would take my brother and I down here, drop us off, we'd come in, have dinner, watch a ballgame and then dad would meet us after work."
He recounts games including Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, Matty and Jesus Alou, and seeing Willie Mays and Willie McCovey when the San Francisco Giants came through town.
"I became a baseball fan in this stadium and I'm a huge baseball fan today."
Thomsen says those memories provoked him when he first was approached to buy the team from the Dallas-based Schlegel Sports Group. He put together a group of 13 people he says "have lived or worked in Tacoma" to finalize the deal. He identified business partner and fellow wireless magnate John Stanton as another minority owner.
Terms of the deal are undisclosed, but Thomsen says the group paid the going rate for AAA franchises. PCL President Branch Rickey acknowledges that would likely be between $13 million and $17 million.
Rickey called Thomsen's group and the local ownership important for the South Puget Sound region. The Rainiers have been owned by out-of-state investors for almost two decades.
"It's nice to have someone who has this kind of enthusiasm," Rickey said, "and the regard they appear to hold in the community."
Thomsen's group takes over during an off-season of change in Tacoma. Cheney Stadium's $30 million renovation is nearly complete and should be done in time for the home opener April 15. Thomsen says it's important for the long-term stability and viability of the franchise.
"It's going to be a great place to watch a game," Thomsen said.
Mariners President Chuck Armstrong praised the sale, saying in a written statement: "We applaud the outgoing ownership group for all that they have done for Tacoma Rainiers Baseball, especially the Cheney Stadium renovations. They have been excellent stewards of our AAA charges in Tacoma and good to work with. We thank them for all of their efforts, and wish them well in their future endeavors.
"All of us in this region should be grateful that they found truly local buyers to purchase the Rainiers. We are looking forward to working with the new ownership group. Everything we know about them is positive, and this group should ensure stability for many years to come."
Thomsen agrees.
"I'm not buying a club in Spokane. I'm not buying a club in Portland. I'm buying a club in Tacoma and the reason is the deep personal ties."

A STRETCH of Isle of Wight esplanade has been blocked following a cliff fall.
The Isle of Wight Council said contractors would be sent to clear the debris from the Sandown/Shanklin Esplanade and it was hoped the route would be open by Tuesday evening.
Two trees came down in high winds last night (Monday) blocking Cockleton Lane, Gurnard, but were cleared later that night.
*Sandown Esplanade was re-opened by this morning (Wednesday) the Isle of Wight Council confirmed.

Omg how can you turn a little debris in to a link to fracking? And council action.It's a minor incident and where ever there are hills etc things fall! But you see is as an opportunity to blame. If a volcano erupted in Newport you'd want answers and someone to finger point.

This will get cleared a lot faster than Totland to Colwell sea wall, as thats a minor disruption compared to replacing the sea wall.... Bets are on as to how long it takes.

I know it is common place, but good quality Velcro, like a good multi-tool is indispensable in the shop and around the house. I use it to wrap my ratchet tie down straps. It makes for easy access without having to untangle a big mess. It should definitely be in every tool box.

A residential street in Manhattan Beach was the filming site Friday for a commercial featuring Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh and her husband Casey Jennings and their two children.
The shoot, which brought a few trucks and vans to the neighborhood, took place inside a home, according to a notification about filming.
Location Manager Eric Persons told Patch the commercial was about "what an amazing woman Kerri Walsh is." Walsh, who is several months pregnant [she and husband Casey Jennings announced her pregnancy right after she won her third gold medal in women's volleyball at the London Olympic summer games], continues with a workout regimen, takes care of her two sons and more, said Persons.

The landmark Cottage Restaurant across from the Laguna Art Museum on Coast Highway served its last meal Wednesday afternoon.
As Patch reported earlier this month, restaurant owner Jennifer McCulley was forced to shut her business because the separate owner of the Cottage property and its 1917-constructed building opted to lease it to another tenant, Urth Caffé, a Los Angeles-based micro-chain which specializes in organic coffees, teas, and healthy grub.
It isn't yet known when Urth Caffé will open.
Wednesday was a hectic one for McCulley and her staff.
"It's been very emotional," she told Patch. "It's been happy, sad ... it's just run the gamut."
McCulley isn't sure what she'll do next.
Meanwhile, a final Cottage yard sale, including equipment and assorted other items, is set to happen on Friday, Dec. 28, starting at 9 a.m. at the restaurant. The public is welcome.
*Watch the short video of the Cottage's last day above, and leave your thoughts on the Cottage's passing below in the comments section ...

Keeping An Eye Out For Bargain Gadgets
Consumers on a budget are faced with a multitude of online options for finding the latest and greatest gadgets. When it comes to replacing your outdated PC with a high-powered MacBook or finding the perfect iPod for your child's graduation gift, where should you start your search for affordable tech appliances and gadgets?
Second-Hand Electronics
My first Nintendo gaming console came to me second-hand when I was eight years old. It was a gift from the Easter bunny, so my young mind was challenged to understand the tiny exterior scratch marks on the device, however, it suited my entertainment needs for many years. While it's not highly recommended to pass off second-hand devices as gifts, the affordability of slightly-used gadgets make them ideal purchases for personal use.
Some websites offer exchanges, where you can sell your out-dated model for cash or just exchange it for a discount on a new one. Also, check out programs like Best Buy Trade-In, Amazon Trade-In, Gazelle, and eBay Instant Sale. Not only are these types of exchanges economically advantageous, they also help to reduce your carbon footprint by allowing for the recycling/reuse of your unwanted gadgets (which can be otherwise quite tedious)!
Second-hand electronics are also available on Ebay and Half.com (primarily for gaming systems). Of course, it is advisable to thoroughly research the products to determine to what extent they have been refurbished, what kind of manufacturer's warranties are available, and the return or exchange policy. Once you feel sufficiently knowledgeable about the seller and product, second-hand gadget shopping can be remarkably rewarding!
Bargain Hunting
Finding the best prices can be a simple matter of knowing where to look. Like aggregated air travel databases that find the best prices from multiple air carriers, RedLaser is an app capable of finding the merchants selling your desired gadget for the lowest price. Another popular price comparison site is NexTag, where you can browse different products and brands more easily.
Student Discounts
Not all on-line stores offer student discounts, but the ones that do can really make a difference in your pocketbook. Though Dell only recently expanded into the tablet market, students can save up to 30% on the latest technology and notebooks from their Dell University website. Even more exclusive offers are available to students via the Apple Store, where you can save up to $200 on the latest MacBook Air or Pro.
Coupons and Promo Codes
On-line coupons are becoming easier and easier to 'clip' using specialized smart phone apps that collect coupons and facilitate their use. One such prominent app, Passbook, which is available in the Apple Store, has recently expanded its integration with retailers. Get started by searching for coupons using your mobile application or searching for printable coupons using your PC.
Discount codes, which serve the same purpose as coupons at many on-line retail outlets, can be tricky to find, but are a great way to save on your upcoming gadget purposes. Start with basic coupon codes and do some research for a best buy promo code that fits your needs.
Buying gadgets, the latest tablet devices, or handheld electronics does not have to be expensive. Bargain hunters who know their tools and resources can easily find discounted rates. Reliable retailers offer refurbished, second-hand options, as well as various discounts, promotional codes, and coupons. Look in the right places, celebrate your bargain find, and enjoy your new gadget!
Kate Simmons is a freelance writer on topics related to tech, gadgets and frugality – if you have any questions about coupons or just want to say hello, feel free to get in touch with her via Twitter.

Hume bilingual storytimes in the community
OrganisationHume Libraries, VIC
LocationCity of Hume, VIC
Project description and objectives
A bilingual storytime program developed by Hume Libraries for CALD families and their children between the ages of 0-8 years old. The program primarily targets pre-school aged children in response to the needs of communities to maintain their culture, socialise with others and for parents and children to learn. The storytime sessions are currently conducted in Hume Libraries in four languages: Arabic, Turkish, Assyrian-Chaldean, and Hindi.
The objectives of the programs are:
• To develop reading motivation - inspiring parents, children and early years' educators to share books and songs.
• To link CALD families to services and support agencies in Hume and promote relevant learning opportunities.
• To promote and increase awareness of library services among CALD communities.
• Build skills and increase parents' confidence in supporting children's early literacy by modelling reading techniques.
• To support cultural inclusion and maintenance of first language for young children
Staffing and volunteers
The Bilingual Storytime Program is run by storytellers who are experienced in childcare work and community development, and from the culture in which the storytime language is spoken. The program consists of 4 permanent staff members in addition to volunteers from the community.
Community groups and organizations
Funding sourcesThe program is funded by Hume City Council
Consultation strategy
* Outreaching the community: Bilingual storytimes first started in The Age Library but there has always been an emerging need to outreach the community. Bilingual storytellers started to visit playgroups, preschools, other early childhood services and women's group to deliver the service and identify the importance of bilingual storytimes in supporting long life learning. Outreaching the bilingual storytimes and using storytellers from target communities encouraged community participation and therefore the program ha witnessed continuous growth in attendance. The program has also widened participation further by encouraging volunteers to assist storytellers with storytime sessions both in the library and offsite.
* Networking, which came as a result for community participation. Bilingual storytellers have a following in the community which they built up by being locally involved in their communities and by sharing stories and experiences with other people in similar profession. Bilingual storytellers acted as bridging network in which they link families to facilities and opportunities that support learning, i.e. computer clubs, homework clubs, library programs, etc.
* Leadership:Storytellers are the leaders who have emerged from the Bilingual Storytime Program and are encouraging parents to show leadership with their children, families and friends by being actively involved in the program, talking about it and using what they've learned in the sessions and applying it in practice.
*Partnership: with community groups to extend the reach, encourage community involvement and link families to relative services and facilities in Hume.
* Evaluation: Continuous evaluation of the program which includes conducting interviews with parents; focus groups with preschool teachers and storytellers; and evaluation and feedback forms

"Play solid defense, score as much as you can, and play non-selfishly as a team." That sums up Coach Marcus Harvey's philosophy as he enters his tenth season as head coach.
This years' Scouts team is ranked #8 preseason in the NJCC Division II, even in what might be called a rebuilding year. Why? Because the program has consistently fielded exceptional teams, whether rebuilding or not.
The team has won its regional championship 14 times, been runner-up nine times, has gone to the national tournament 14 times and won the national championship in 1995-96.
Home of the Scouts is the A. Fred Pohlman Fieldhouse, named after the revered coach who started the MCC-Penn Valley program in 1967 and won more than 600 games.
The program has not had to recruit too heavily, because of referrals from former players. Says Harvey, "Treat the players you have right, and they'll bring others."
The program draws quality players from throughout the area-players who look to get a year or two of experience in an excellent program before moving on to division one. Says Harvey, "If you do what you're supposed to do and do what we ask, we can almost guarantee a scholarship for you when you move on."

Did you all see the segment on 60 Minutes last night about how added sugar is toxic?
They said very little that would be news to any of us. Obesity, Diabetes, heart disease, etc. One thing that might be new to most, since it's out of the range most of us are concerned about, is it's role in cancer. Tumors are covered in insulin receptors and so take in much of the sugar that should be going to the rest of your cells. And tumors use the sugar to grow.
And when Sanjey Gupta commented that few doctors know about this, the doctor being interviewed said 'no they don't know, this is new.'
But the thing is, it isn't that new. And it isn't secret. We knew. Why don't they?

EDWARDSVILLE — A new case of pertussis has been reported at Edwardsville High School.
Edwardsville District 7 warned parents Monday that a student at Edwardsville High School has been diagnosed with a suspected case of pertussis, which is commonly known as whooping cough.
Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial infection spread through coughing and sneezing. While it is preventable through vaccination, maintaining the immunity requires booster shots every 10 years for adults. It can lead to serious complications or even death in infants, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
Pertussis appears like a common cold, with a runny nose, sneezing, low fever and mild cough. But the cough worsens over a week or two and creates a spasmodic burst of rapid coughing with the characteristic whooping sound, which is violent enough to sometimes cause patients to vomit or pass out.
Last fall, two students at an Edwardsville middle school came down with pertussis. The previous spring, there was a spike in pertussis cases in Madison County, with 19 cases in April and May 2012, while elsewhere in the country there was an epidemic with thousands of cases.
Edwardsville High School also had a student diagnosed with mumps over the summer. The student was attending summer school classes. Like pertussis, mumps is preventable by vaccine and can have serious complications.
It was not immediately known if either case involved a student who had not been vaccinated. Pertussis vaccination is required for school, but can be waived for religious or health-related reasons.
So far St. Clair County has had no reports of pertussis, according to Marsha Wild, manager of infectious diseases at the St. Clair County Health Department. However, Wild said it is very important for adults to make sure they get the Tdap booster shot to maintain immunity for pertussis, as there is a national increase in pertussis cases.
"It tends to be an incentive when a new baby is born, because we know the danger of passing it along to an infant," Wild said.
However, it is harder to track adult compliance with the recommended booster, since there is no requirement like there is for children attending school, Wild said.
Worldwide, pertussis kills about 300,000 people a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Even if does not cause death, pertussis is highly dangerous for infants, and the coughing fits after a pertussis infection can last for 10 weeks or more.
A study published earlier this year in the New England Journal of Medicine noted that new strains of pertussis are missing a protein called pertactin, which helps it attach to the lining of the lungs. However, the CDC indicates that vaccines appear to be effective against the new strain as well as the older strains. While there are more cases now than there have been in years past - 27,550 in 2010 - according to the CDC, it's nowhere near the 200,000 cases per year that were reported before the pertussis vaccine.
Parents are urged to contact their child's physician if symptoms appear, or to call the Madison County Health Department at 692-8954, ext. 2. Adults are reminded to check their own immunization history and determine whether boosters are needed, particularly if pregnant or if the family is expecting an infant.

Princeton native Jordan Farley can't give away any plot details in the upcoming thriller "Hollow Creek." However, she can talk about her first role as a stunt double for the lead actress.
"In my stunt, I got attacked by a dog in the woods. The dog was a trained police dog and I've grown up around lots of dogs so I wasn't too nervous," Farley said. "I actually thought it was a really unique and exciting experience and would do it again in a heartbeat."
The film, shot in Ritchie and Wyoming counties in West Virginia during January, is slated for release later this year.
Besides working as a stunt double, Farley, a 20-year-old college student, ran errands, painted sets, played an extra in a scene and even took lunch orders from the crew. She did a bit of everything.
"When I arrived on set, I was planning on just watching and doing my best to stay out of the way, but when actress, producer and director Guisela Moro found out I was interested in that line of work, she was kind enough to let me get involved. I really just did anything I was asked to," Farley said.
However, her involvement in the film goes back a few years. According to her mother Joni Farley, an important part of the story is Jordan's grandparents, Pat and Laura McKinney, who raise the dog breed Newfoundlands in Pineville.
"They have customers all over the country. The director, who is from Florida, bought a dog from them four or five years ago and fell in love with the area when she visited. She knew it would make the perfect setting for the film," Joni said.
The McKinneys introduced Farley, a media communications major at Drexel University, to Moro when she returned to West Virginia to begin filming "Hollow Creek."
Farley was intimidated at first.
"It wasn't that they were purposefully intimidating in anyway. They were just very talented people and I felt like I was in their way at the beginning. They were very welcoming and friendly though. And in the end, I made some lovely friends," she said.
She said the set was fast-paced and she had to be "quick on her feet." She learned a lot on location, lessons she hopes to use in a future career.
"You have to be very flexible; schedules and plans change almost daily so you have to be able to change with them. Communication is key," Farley said. "The production process involves many people all working towards one goal, so its vital that everyone is on the same page."
Newfoundland Films website gives a brief plot description for the film.
It states, "Seeking inspiration for his latest horror novel, a New York writer retreats to a remote cabin in the Appalachian mountains accompanied by his secret lover. A twist of fate turns the romantic interlude into an abduction murder case when the writer's lover mysteriously goes missing and he becomes the prime suspect."
Farley said the film is filled with suspense. The set design for many scenes were eerie and added to the thrill factor. Director and actress Guisela Moro calls the film a "Stephen King-style thriller."
Moro took time to answer a few questions about the film. She is holding back one surprise, an announcement regarding a legendary actor who will also appear in the film.
"This has brought the project to a new level," she said.
She hopes to disclose more information soon and return to the Pineville area. Moro said the landscape is always beautiful, but the small coal towns dotted across southern West Virginia is what really inspired the movie.
"When I first drove through Mullens four years ago, I felt l was traveling in time. It was so cool and unique. Every little town I drove by, I had the same feeling .. I fell in love with them," Moro said.
Farley, a West Virginia native, can appreciate Moro's sentiments about her home state. She grew up in southern West Virginia, but left when she was 8 years old.
"The majority of my family lives in southern West Virginia," Farley added. "It continues to be my favorite place to visit."
She has grandparents in Pineville, Princeton and Pipestem.
Farley said West Virginia was an ideal location for "Hollow Creek."
"I think there is a certain mystery to mountains that creates the perfect setting for a scary movie. But at the same time, they are also beyond beautiful, so whether someone is running through the woods, driving down a mountain road, or simply looking out a window, the natural beauty of West Virginia is always breathtaking," Farley said.
Farley and her family live in Manheim, Penn. After 14 years, Jordan finally became the owner of a Newfoundland. She named her Berklee Bee. The dog will weigh anywhere from 120-150 pounds.
Moro's Newfie Brandy is featured in the film.
"She is a huge part of the film from the very first scene to the end. She did phenomenal. It was meant to be," Moro said. "They are such sweet dogs. They are very mellow and they love water. They are water rescue dogs."
Moro was worried how Brandy would react to the crew, cameras and extra. But the Newfie adapted well. Moro even named her film company after the breed.
"When I met Laura, Jordan's grandmother, for the first time I said, 'Hi ... I want to shoot a movie here one day. I will come back.' And we did."
Moro said Jordan was a trooper on set.
"Her disposition was fantastic," she said. "She is a very smart girl and everybody on board really liked her and embraced her. She was very humble about it."

Chemotherapy may be associated with side effects, such as low blood counts. For this reason, some doctors may be reluctant to give the same chemotherapy to elderly patients that they give to younger patients because they may not be able to tolerate the side effects, particularly elderly patients with other health problems.
The purpose of this study is to see how well older women with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer tolerate chemotherapy. The goal of the study is to see if patients' ability to complete activities of daily living before treatment is correlated with their ability to tolerate chemotherapy, and to see how chemotherapy works in older women with cancer.
Participants will include women who will receive either carboplatin with paclitaxel and pegfilgrastim, or carboplatin alone. They will be asked to complete questionnaires about their health, well-being, and ability to complete activities of daily living before chemotherapy starts and 12 to 15 weeks after it starts. Patients will also have periodic blood tests. They will receive four cycles of chemotherapy, and if it is safe and beneficial, may continue to have additional treatment.
Participants will include English-speaking patients age 70 and older who will receive chemotherapy (carboplatin alone or with paclitaxel) for stage I-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Patients may not have previously received chemotherapy for the cancer, but may have had surgery.
For more information about this study, please contact Dr. William Tew at 646-888-4220.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — An independent review of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families is needed and welcome.
But it is troubling that, in the lead-up to the announcement of the investigation, Gov. Deval Patrick spent more time defending the malfunctioning agency than demanding answers for the disappearance of a 5-year-old boy.
"I think it's important not to jump to conclusions," Patrick, speaking of the social workers in the agency, told reporters. "They have an enormously difficult job. They perform miracles every day, hundreds and hundreds of miracles that don't get the attention of all of you here, but do earn, I believe, the respect of the public, certainly of mine."
But something went terribly wrong at the DCF in the case of young Jeremiah Oliver of Fitchburg, whose family had been under agency supervision. The 5-year-old is missing and presumed dead. Extended family members say they have not seen the boy since September yet police have only recently been informed that he is missing. The boy's mother, Elsa Oliver, and her boyfriend, Alberto Sierra Jr., have been arrested and have pleaded not guilty to child endangerment, abuse and other charges.
The DCF last had contact with the boy in May 2013.
An internal investigation found that the social worker assigned to the case failed to make routine monthly visits or follow up on several reports of abuse and that a supervisor covered up those failings.
The social worker, the supervisor and an area manager were fired. A fourth employee was suspended.
The governor and the agency have been pushing the notion that this was an isolated failing, rather than a systemic problem at DCF.
But state Sen. Michael Barrett, D-Lexington, was having none of it. Barrett is co-chairman of the Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities Committee.
"The situation cries out for truth-telling, self-examination and possibly self-criticism. It's becoming harder to suppose we're dealing with just a few bad apples rather than a systemic problem," Barrett said in a statement reported by the State House News Service. "During hard times, have all the key decision-makers protected DCF's capacity to do its job?"
Patrick has been under mounting pressure for an independent investigation of the DCF and last week he announced that a review will be conducted by the Child Welfare League of America, an organization that advocates for children nationwide.
But Patrick's instincts were also on display as he repeatedly defended the agency, even as the boy remains missing.
"You know, this is not a job for amateurs, right. There are procedures that are in common with, that do or don't reflect best practices around the country. There are judgment calls that social workers have to make every day, and most of them widely successful and not reported on, that happen daily," Patrick told a group of reporters, as the news service reported. "But when something goes wrong, particularly in the life of a child it is deeply concerning to me and to the general public. And so what we've been talking about is whether there isn't some group or agency that is knowledgeable and has some real gravitas and experience in this area that might help us bring a fresh set of eyes. That is what we are trying to sort out."
Patrick's statements and the time he took to call for an independent investigation are telling. They reveal a governor whose instincts are, when trouble strikes, to rally around the bureaucracy and fend off tough questions, rather than demand the answers that will hold public servants accountable and possibly avert future tragedies.

SCR Bruce Sweeney
CAM Filip Dobosz
EDS Rafi Spivak, Liam Sherriff
PROD DES Tony Devenyi
MUS James Jandrisch
PROD CO Knost Films Inc.
Bruce Sweeney's latest takes you by surprise. It's a sharp satire in the vein of The Larry Sanders Show, with some familiar components: the conceited host, the dimwitted sidekick—and the ultimate fixer. Dick Knost (Sweeney's alter-ego Tom Scholte), the prickly, acerbic and chronically impulsive host of a sports talk show, faces two major catastrophes. First an inappropriate series of tweets causes public outrage and, later, an ironic injury—after dismissing the danger of concussions in hockey, he suffers a series of concussions himself—leave his job hanging by a thread. On the verge of losing not just his job and friends, but his identity, it's up to Knost's long suffering producer (the terrific Gabrielle Rose) to save both their livelihoods—by any means necessary…
Sweeney's film is often very funny, particularly depicting such stereotypes as the former hockey player turned co-host despite his lack of qualifications. Instead of going for the obvious loud, boorish caricature, Scholte makes Dick Knost a more slithery creature. Knost is intelligent but lazy. Rose plays her wily producer as a middle-aged radio vet all too aware that it's too late to change careers—for her the status quo must remain just that, and woe betide anyone who stands in her path…

San Diego Topples Valpo Late Saturday Night
Saturday, October 14, 2006San Diego spoiled Valparaiso's Homecoming West on Saturday evening, as the Toreros defeated the Crusaders 68-7 in San Diego, Calif.
The Toreros jumped out to a quick start as J.T. Rogan returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown. After a Crusader interception on the second play from scrimmage, San Diego converted again, with Jon Polk catching a five-yard reception from Josh Johnson to make it 14-0 just 2:34 into the contest.
Johnson then found Polk again on the next possession for a 21-yard touchdown pass and threw his third scoring strike of the opening quarter to Ben Hannula with 3:11 to play in the quarter as the lead grew to 28-0. Johnson was 9-of-9 in the first quarter for 112 yards while the San Diego defense limited Valpo to just 28 total yards.
With the Toreros driving yet again to begin the second quarter, Anthony Curry (Merrillville, Ind./Merrillville H.S.) picked off a Johnson pass in the end zone and returned it out to the Crusader 30-yard line. Valpo drove down field, and nine plays later Ryan Doerffler (Fort Wayne, Ind./Concordia H.S.) found John Popper (Dublin, Ohio/Coffman H.S.) for a six-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 28-7 with 9:07 to play before break.
San Diego marched right back down and retook a 28-point lead as Rogan caught a 22-yard pass from Johnson with 5:24 left. Rogan then went in from 27 yards out with 49 seconds left to give the hosts a 42-7 lead at the break.
On the first drive of the third for the Toreros, Brendan Feliczak scored from 14 yards out to build on the lead. The Crusaders then moved the ball down to the San Diego ten but a fumbled snap turned the ball over. The hosts drove right back down and added another score, this one a three-yard run by Johnson to make it 55-7.
David Allen added a five-yard scamper with 9:03 to play in the game for the Toreros and Labroi Walton added a touchdown with 47 seconds left to close out the scoring.
Johnson finished the game 18-of-23 for 286 yards and four touchdowns for San Diego while the Toreros racked up 569 total yards of offense. Valpo was limited to just 220 yards, including 69 rushing by Popper.

I know there is a huge thread below related to this,
but the thread below is involved with too many things.
I start a new thread just to focus on this matter.
To my knowledge, the followings are the case:
1. Brian Orser said that he had been approached by Maos team.
2. Maos team said that they had not approached Brian.
Hence one of them is clearly not telling the truth.
If Maos team was lying, its not a big deal and at least to me
its understandable; though its still not pretty that this kind of things
went public.
However, IF Brian was lying and Yunas team figured out that fact,
it should shake up Yunas trust on Brian.
Probably we can never know which part is lying for sure,
but does anyone have better information
on which part has more reasons to be believed?
Frankly, I never thought of possibility Brians lying over the approach by Maos team, before seeing Brians messing around the media. I dont think we will never know which part is more responsible for Yuna and Brian's split,
and personally I do not understand why we need somebody responsible for the split.
Their contact ended, and they just did not re-contract. It is not even firing.
But it is clear that it was Brian Orser to go to the media first complaining of his former student and her mother. Brian make it impossible for Yuna not rebuff his criticism. So regarding this media mess, Brian is responsible.

Wax Bottles (Nik-L-Nips)
We always called them Wax Bottles but officially they are known as Nik-L-Nips. Whatever you call them they are small wax bottles with flavored syrup inside. First bite off the top, suck out the liquid and then chew the wax, just like gum.
Nik-L-Nips were created in the early 1900s. The name combines the original cost of a "Nickel" and the preferred method of opening the wax bottle which was to "Nip" off the top.

I have fond memories of the wax bottles filled with juice. In the mid 50s, my mom worked at a small ice cream store that had a large candy counter. Any time they received a supply of some new type of candy, she would bring me a small bag for me to give my expert review. The bag always included some of my favorites featuring the wax bottles. Sometimes the wax was in other shapes featuring tools, toys, and cars & trucks. Id play with these for hours before finally consuming the juice.
Sometimes I would go with my dad to pick up my mom from work and Id go into the store and review the candy selection. My mom would hand me a bag and let me pick out my own goodies. I remember one time they had the wax tools and I spent the longest time picking through the box trying to find all the different tools and get one with each of the different flavors. Mom finally yelled at me to finish up so we could get home and have dinner. Dinner? Who needs dinner with you have a bag of wax filled with juice? ~ Don from Florida

This dress was inspired by this lovely red dress from Modcloth with a lace panel in the back. When this dress went on sale, I seriously considered just buying it. However, upon reading reviews on the dress I realized that the lace back was not lined and, thus, sheer. I knew I did not want that. Also, I just prefer to sew my clothing anyway. It is so much more satisfying to me to make a similar item than to buy the original.
back view of Modcloth Dress
back view of my dress
For the red fabric, I used some linen blend from Hancock Fabrics that has been in my stash for probably 10 years. The lace came from Mood Fabrics. It was such a good price that I bought more than I needed for my dress. I used it here also.
Mood Fabrics
For the pattern, I used V8594. There are some differences between it and the Modcloth dress, but I just love all the interesting seams in the dress. Unfortunately, the camera does not capture the seaming very well in my dress.
The Vogue dress was not hard to put together and the instructions were good. I did not have to make any fitting alterations, which was a surprise, because I usually have to pinch some out of the neck with Vogue patterns. I did use an exposed zipper to mimic the look of the Modcloth dress.
The dress was lined in a beige polyester lining fabric from fabric.com. I tried to get it as close to the color of the lace as possible.
I am wearing two different pairs of shoes which I have worn before because the pic of the front and the rest of the pics were snapped on two different days. I had the worst time getting a good pic of the front. The first time I snapped it, the neckline was flipped under and I cut off my feet in the second try. Finally, the third time was the charm. I think this is one of my favorite dresses I have ever made. Until next time, Happy Sewing!!!

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A U.S. drone strike in northwest Pakistan killed a top Taliban commander responsible for engineering attacks on U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, Pakistani military and intelligence sources said Thursday.
The death of Pakistani Taliban commander Maulvi Nazir deals a significant blow to insurgent ranks that use Pakistan's rugged tribal regions along the border with Afghanistan as sanctuary from which to launch assaults on Western troops battling Afghan Taliban fighters. Though Nazir was affiliated with the Pakistani Taliban, he had long maintained a peace pact with the Pakistani military and had instead focused his efforts on U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan.
