One of the main reasons the Section on Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine can cite so many positive outcomes is its unique approach to care giving.
Medical professionals and specialists in the Section believe that effective treatment isn't always about curing, but rather about helping our patients and families to cope.
Part of the Geriatrics treatment philosophy involves keeping our patients active. We listen to them carefully, observing all the little things that could easily become big barriers further down the road. As an example, for a hospitalized older person it is devastating to finally return home, only to realize that he or she has been successfully treated for their disease but can no longer function or manage within their home environment. That's the point at which the expertise of geriatrics makes a difference.
Through using the programs and services of the Section on Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, our patients learn that they can truly live their lives even with several medical conditions. People do, every day. All you have to know is 'how.'

A new study by medical researchers at Wake Forest University is adding to the evidence that it may be more important where excess weight is on the body than how much a person has.
Abstract: Cognitive and memory training and physical activity can help prevent declines in cognition among older adults according to researchers.
Despite previous research suggesting that older adults are more distractible, new research shows they are no more distractible than younger adults when asked to focus their attention on their sense of sight or sound, or when asked to switch their attention from one sense to the other.
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center has been named a Center of Excellence in Geriatric Medicine and Training by the John A. Hartford Foundation. Wake Forest Baptist was one of the three centers recently selected from a field of 27 applicants for the $450,000 grants.

Post-WonderCon: IDW QA!
Monday, Apr 1st, 2013
WonderCon was an amazing show this year! Tons of fans, panels, and comics. Unfortunately though we couldn't get to everyone's questions during the IDW Panel on Saturday but IDW EiC, Chris Ryall, took sometime out this morning to make sure we could still get answers for you. Check them out!
Andy Turnbull @andrewdturnbull (via Twitter): Is there any prospect of a reprint of Transformers: Generation 2 either as a series or in a couple of trades?
CR: Not likely any time soon, no. But pretty much everything from any era of Gen 1 is back in print.
Andy Senyszyn @zhgingaah (via Twitter): Qs for As: How come TF Classics UK and IDW coll. hardcovers have been delayed so much? Quicker releases for subsequent volumes?
CR: Those are big books, and they're more expensive than the average TPBs, so we've been cautious about having them released too soon. We want our fans to be able to get the books they want and be able to eat and live...
Andy Senyszyn @zhgingaah (via Twitter): What can you and what can you not tell us about TF: Shockpoint? Are we crossing over 2 or even 3 series here? How BIG is it?
CR: That was discussed Sunday at the Transformers panel and will be talked up more and more as we get closer to it happening.
Andy Senyszyn @zhgingaah (via Twitter): Finally, do you have a warm cosy feeling inside from the great fan feedback? You should - last 18 months has been epic! Thanks!
CR: Most definitely-the support is always appreciated, and it's amazingly gratifying to see how well fans have responded to what John Barber and James Roberts have been doing on those series, as well as the Furman/Wildman series and the Metzen/Dille/Ramondelli digital comics, too.
Steve Flack (via Facebook): Any chance for deluxe editions of the new Rocketeer books to match the slipcase edition of the classic Dave Stevens stuff?
CR: Certainly a good possibility down the line; right now, all those books are available in shiny new hardcovers, so we wouldn't want to rush any deluxe versions that get in the way of those?
Jesse Gutierrez (via Facebook): Why do the Godzilla comics need to have way too much human interaction rather than more monster action? is something i would ask. Plus i would want him to get the write to get rid of that annoying character Boxer from the series!
CR: Well, on the first part of
your question, I think if you don't have strong human characters
interacting and reacting to the giant-monster insanity around them,
the story would easily get crushed under a giant kaiju foot. Even
cool scenes of monsters knocking down buildings or fighting each
other across a city tend to get tedious if there's no repercussions
or reactions beyond just smashing things to
Holy Frickkin Sanjula (via Facebook): Will Joe Hill be doing any more projects for IDW after Locke and Key: Omega wraps up?
CR: Most definitely. We're
launching Thumbprint with Joe, Jason Ciaramella and Vic Malhotra in
June, Joe's working on a series called The Wraith that will tie in
with his novel NOS4A2 (out April 30), talking about other Locke
& Key one-shots and we're talking about something else big,
too. Joe'll have a home here as long as we're making
Jeff Hendrix (via Facebook): Will GI JOE: A Real American hero celebrate their 200th issue?
CR: In a big way. As will Transformers: Regeneration One, which is approaching its 100th issue at just about the same time as RAH's 200th issue. Hmm...
Nicholas Calhoun (via Facebook): anything else IDW is planning for Mars Attacks?
CR: We are. After the Layman/McCrae series wraps at issue 10, there'll be another one-shot, Mars Attacks: Classics Obliterated; and then two other big Mars Attacks projects are in the works for fall and beyond.
Chris Eginitis (via Facebook): How about bringing back the Metal Gear & Silent Hill comic series, 'cause I really enjoyed them.
CR: We're actively planning to
bring one of those two back this year.
Mike Beyer (via Facebook): Any possibility of a Jurassic Park prequel story set in the development of Hammond and ingen?
CR: No plans to go back to that point, but with a new movie coming, we're talking about some good things we could do.
Ryan M. Maxwell (via Facebook): Given the success of the original Popeye comics, will be seeing any more? And will the reprints of the Bud Sagendorf Popeye comics continue?
CR: The reprints are continuing, yes. The regular Popeye comics are going to take a break, despite us loving them (the final issue, 12, is maybe the best of the bunch, and Roger Langridge, who handles story and art on that one, while also bringing in Barney Google for a nice guest-spot, did some really amazing work on the issue). But we're hopeful we can bring him back before too long.

Lots of interesting businesspeople show up at farmers markets, besides the farmers. At the North Tonawanda market, there's fresh doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, soup, Chinese dumplings, pork rinds and more for shoppers to snack on as they stroll.
But I haven't been to most farmers markets in Western New York. So, dear readers, what would you recommend? What farmers market strolling food deserves celebration? Anything that doesn't
Where and what would do, for starters. If you can supply a name, phone number or website, that would help.

In the garden
Choosing the right tree
Fall is the ideal time to plant a new tree. The right tree planted in the right place on your property can give you years of pleasure and enhance your property's value should you decide to sell your home. The key is to make sure you choose the right tree for the place you want to plant.
"Begin with a site analysis," says Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson. "The principles are much the same for any landscape design project."
Start with the soil. It's helpful to know the pH of your soil, so you may want to do a soil test. Remember that Henrico residents can get two free soil tests each year. Soil test kits are available at Henrico public libraries and at the Extension Office.
Look, too, at the texture of your soil. Is it clayey, loamy, or sandy? Is it compacted? And how well does it drain?
"You need to know what you're dealing with," says Sanderson. "Some trees like a tupelo can tolerate poor drainage, and some can't."
The climate in our area is another consideration. Henrico is in USDA Hardiness Zone 7 where the average extreme minimum temperature is 0-10 degrees Fahrenheit and in American Horticultural Society Heat Zone 7 where the temperature exceeds 86 degrees Fahrenheit from 60 to 90 days each year.
"Lots of trees will do really well in our area," says Sanderson, "but some do better with our climate than others. River Birch, for example, seems to do better than White Birch in our climate." Sunlight is another important factor. Not all trees do well in bright sun. Local favorites such as dogwoods, red buds, and sourwoods usually prefer a shadier location near the edges of forests or other stands of trees.
"It never fails," says Sanderson. "People love dogwoods, and they plant them right in the middle of their yards where they get full sun and then wonder why they don't do well."
Trees need about an inch of water each week during the first year "establishment period," so making sure you have access to water either with an existing irrigation system or a convenient water hose can save a lot of work.
And, of course, trees grow so you need to have enough space not only for the size of the tree today but to accommodate how large it will be in a decade. If you're putting your tree near existing trees, you'll also need to consider how large those trees are going to get, and make sure you have enough space to accommodate the needs of all the trees in your yard.
The other trees in the area that are doing well can serve as "indicator plants" to help you assess the conditions in your yard and choose a tree that will do well there.
Good checklists for accessing your site are available online and the Virginia Cooperative Extension has an excellent publication, "Problem-free Trees for Virginia Landscapes" on it's website, http://www.ext.vt.edu to he,lp you choose the trees that best suit the space you have to plant. And you can call Lisa Sanderson at the Henrico Extension Office at 501-5160.
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

Henrico school bus driver honored
Citizen Staff Reports 07/03/2014
The Henrico-based Hephaestus Society recently awarded its first annual community heroes award (the Hephaestus Award) to Hicham Elgharouch (pictured, center) for what it termed his "selfless acts of caring" in his duties as a Henrico County Public Schools bus driver.

Eight senior U.S. senators have come up with a bipartisan immigration reform plan, reported Politico.com early Monday morning, that they plan to unveil later today.
NJ Sen. Robert Menendez (D), a longtime advocate for changes in immigration law, is on the panel of eight senators from both parties who came up with the sweeping changes.
The plan, Politico said, will overhaul the current immigration system as well as provide an alternate route to citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.
The blueprint is " most serious bipartisan effort to act on the highly charged issue since George W. Bush's comprehensive measure was defeated in the Senate in 2007," Politico said.
The senators' proposal would only come into play after stricter enforcement measures were enacted to ensure American employers were hiring workers here legally.
The plan includes a different gateway for citizenship for adults who were brought here illegally as children, and for agricultural workers, Politico said. The preliminary details also hints that illegals will not be able to "jump the line" ahead of immigrants who have patiently waited their turn to immigrate to the United States.
Menendez, a Democratic senator who is slated to become chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, was joined by fellow Democrats Sens. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Michael Bennet. The Republicans who supported the immigration reform proposal are Sens. John McCain, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake, Politico said.

Alcohol and drug tests done on Freeholder John P. Kelly following a May 18 accident that killed a Barnegat motorcyclist have come back "clean," State Trooper Christopher Kay said.
"It was negative for any type of alcohol or drugs," he said.
The investigation into the accident that took the life of William D. Kolb will probably be completed within the next several weeks," Kaye said.
"It's in the final stages," he said. "The detectives have to make sure they cross their T's and dot their I's. Then they will submit the final report."
Once the report is submitted, State Police detectives and the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office will decide whether any summonses will be issued, Kaye said.
State Police had previously said it could take six to 8 weeks for toxicological tests to be completed. Kelly consented to the procedure, which is standard protocol in fatal accidents, state police have said.
Kolb, 24, was thrown from his motorcycle after it collided with the SUV driven by Kelly, state police have said.
Trooper Joseph Mezzo has said that Kolb was southbound on Route 9 on his black 2011 Harley Davidson at approximately 6:35 p.m. on May 18, near mile marker 65.5. Kolb attempted to pass the vehicle in front of him, then collided with the right fender of Kelly's 2005 SUV when he tried to return to the lane of traffic, he said.
Kelly, 61, West Creek, was northbound on Route 9 and was attempting to make a left turn into the West Creek Deli when the collision occurred, Mezzo said.
Kelly previously described the accident as "traumatic."

Android, with Apple's head start, originally was a primitive competitor for the Apple iOS platform that powers the iPhone and iPad. But finally, with the release of Android 4.0 in October, Google's mobile operating system is in the same league as iOS. It has a polished, feature-rich user interface.
It's too bad that today, about six months later, only some 3 percent of Android devices run that version, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS.
The whopping majority, including most Android phones and the most popular Android tablets, run on Android 2.3, a considerably less sophisticated version, also known as Gingerbread. In part because of Gingerbread's missing polish, many device manufacturers gussied it up by putting their own user interface on top of the open-source operating system.
Hence Amazon's Kindle Fire and the competing Barnes & Noble tablets, which both run Gingerbread, look and operate differently. A Samsung Android phone doesn't look or work like an HTC phone, which doesn't look or work like an LG or Sony or Motorola phone, even though they all run Gingerbread. Samsung has its TouchWiz user interface, HTC has Sense, Motorola has MotoBlur.
Amazon so changed Gingerbread on the Kindle Fire that observers openly wonder whether it plans to implement any upgraded version of Android, or possibly make its own operating system for future devices.
On top of that, each wireless carrier wants its own customization, so even the same brand and model of phone may have different versions of Android depending on whether its a Verizon, AT&T or Sprint phone, for instance.
Vive la difference, right? Not so much. The open nature of Android has led to so many different implementations, on so many different devices, that upgrading each device to the latest version is a headache requiring tweaks and customization just to get it to run correctly. This problem has a name: fragmentation.
So when Apple announces a new version of its iOS for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, it can begin rolling out updates the next day through iTunes. When Google releases a new version of Android, its up to each device manufacturer to make the necessary changes to get it to run and then push it out either through the device's wireless carrier or through whatever Android marketplace the device connects to.
And there's not much impetus for manufacturers to update. There's no financial reward to upgrade a device that's already been sold. Upgrades are a cost center and invite never-ending rounds of support as bugs are worked out. Not only that, but a customer with an upgraded phone has less reason to dump it and buy the latest model.
For these reasons, if you're wondering when your Android device is getting an upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Android, the answer varies mostly between a really long time from now and never. That news makes a lot of us gadget freaks sad and means Google's best effort at Android is in the hands of just 3 percent of its users.
But wait, there's more. Fragmentation drives app developers nuts. Witness this Twitter exchange between two developers cited recently in a ZDNet blog:
Natalia Luckyanova: 99.9% of support emails are complaining their device isn't supported. We currently support 707 devices. Mindblowing.
David Smith: My android developer stats show 1443 unique devices on Android Market. You're almost half way there ;-) Congrats on the launch.
So while Android as an operating system continues to grow, the actual percentage of developers who want to develop apps for it is decreasing in favor of Apple. This is especially critical in the market for Android tablets, where the number of apps available specifically for that form factor lags badly behind the iPad.
So while Android tablets look this year like they could catch up with the iPad in market share, the reality is that it's a boom fueled mainly by the introduction of the Kindle Fire and Nook tablets at half the price of an iPad. According to the latest prediction by industry research firm Gartner, that explosive share growth won't last.
Instead, the firm predicts the iPad will continue to dominate the tablet market through at least 2016. The reason: Not as many apps for Android. And one of the biggest reasons for that: fragmentation.

9/8/2013 | East Lansing, Mich. | Attendance: 1206

Sunday, September 08, 2013
The Crusader men entered their contest against Michigan State unbeaten, but without a win. That changed Sunday afternoon as Valpo defeated the #RV/24 ranked Spartans 2-1. Nick Suker (Downers Grove, Ill./South) would score his first goal of the season and subsequent game winner in the 79th minute of the match. Valpo would go on to keep its goal advantage and pick up its first win of the season, remaining unbeaten.
"First off, I'm really proud of the players and my staff because it was a good performance today," said head coach Mike Avery. "When you can get a win over the defending Big Ten champions, a team that is ranked in the top 25, at their place, it's a good result. To also earn the win, because we really earned it today; it's very satisfying. A lot of work goes into that and I'm happy for the guys. It's a validating result for a lot of the things that we've been doing."
With the match level at 1-1 late in the game, Daniel Killen (Brooklyn Park, Minn./St. Bernard's) was able to collect the ball in the Spartan midfield, turn with it, and run at the Spartan back line. Killen was able to create enough space to fire a shot on goal, but the shot was deflected before it found the goal. The deflection was then controlled by Suker who was given enough time to settle the ball and tuck it away to give the Crusaders a 2-1 advantage in the 79th minute. Suker's goal would end up being the game winner, as Nico Campbell (Kingston, Jamaica/St. George's College) and the Crusader backs were able to keep Michigan State from finding an equalizer.
"As the game wore on we were able to open them up and get at their back four. They had to push because they were chasing the game and it left some big gaps," said Avery. "We did a really good job of collecting the ball in front of their back four and turning and running at them so that created a lot of dangerous chances."
The Crusaders wasted no time settling into the game Sunday afternoon. The team stayed organized, pressured the Spartans, and connected passes to create a quality attack early on the game. The quality of Valpo's attack was realized in the 23rd minute of the game as Yannick Iwunze (Paris, France/Hightower [Tex.] H.S.) was able to get in behind the Spartan backline and send a dangerous ball across the box. Iwunze's serve was settled at the top of the penalty area and finished beautifully by Todd Vervynckt (Plymouth, Ind./Plymouth).
"I challenged the team this morning to really go after the opportunity and I think they listened and did that perfectly well," said Avery. "They went after it and imposed their will on the game and again, I'm very proud of them."
The Crusaders would go into the second half holding a 1-0 advantage. But as the second half played out, the Spartans would find their equalizer in the 64th minute on a ball sent in from a corner kick. Michigan State's Kevin Cope was able to finish his header and bring the game back to level.
Valpo would not unravel after conceding the goal, however. The Crusaders stayed focused and tuned into the game. The team would continue to attack and impose their will on the game. Ultimately, it was this inspired play that led to the go ahead goal and the team's first win of the season. Valpo (1-0-3, 0-0-1 Horizon) remains unbeaten after four games played.
"Michigan State is a great team and they are going to have a great season. As the season goes on, this result is going to get bigger and bigger - Michigan State is going to have a lot of good things happen for them because they are a very good team."
Suker and Vervynckt each scored their first goal of the season in Sunday's match. Iwunze and Killen were credited with the assists, also their first of the season. In his first start, freshman goalkeeper Nico Campbell picked up his first win as a Crusader.
"It was a good performance in a lot of different areas today, both individually and collectively. Our backs played well and the guys in the midfield were able to create and finish chances for us," said Avery. "It was also good for Campbell to get his first start and his first win. He's going to have a lot of them here at Valpo."
Valpo is back in action Friday night (Sept. 13) to take on IUPUI in the Crusader's first home game of the season. Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m. at Brown Field. Follow @VUMSO on Twitter to stay connected with the team as they prepare for Friday night's game. Live stats for the game will be available through ValpoAthletics.com.

CARTHAGE, Mo. —
Detectives are working to tie parolee Michael Holland and his girlfriend, Tammy Landsaw, to burglaries in at least six jurisdictions in Southwest Missouri.
Holland, 52, and Landsaw, 48, were arrested Tuesday morning and charged with break-ins this week at three businesses in Carthage.
Carthage police have acknowledged that Holland and Landsaw already had come to the attention of investigators looking into numerous burglaries of a similar nature in the region, in particular a string of break-ins at car dealerships in Joplin, Carthage, Neosho, Sarcoxie, Republic and Lebanon.
Holland and Landsaw are being held at the Jasper County Jail on $15,000 surety bonds and $5,000 cash-only bonds. Greene County has placed detainers on the suspects with respect to a break-in at Pinegar Chevrolet in Republic the night of May 24-25. The detainers carry additional $25,000 bonds.
Cpl. Chuck Niess of the Joplin Police Department confirmed Thursday that Holland and Landsaw remain persons of interest in a burglary at Roper Honda in Joplin on May 19-20. A safe was broken into and an undisclosed amount of cash stolen in that crime.
Niess said detectives also are looking at the pair as persons of interest in a more recent burglary at Twin Hills Golf and Country Club in Joplin. Someone forced open a door to the pro shop early Sunday morning and stole undisclosed amounts of cash from two offices. A similar burglary took place the same night at the Neosho Municipal Golf Course.
Records of the Missouri Department of Corrections show that Holland was on parole for two burglary convictions in Boone County, but was recently declared an absconder.
He had served a little more than 16 months of two concurrent, four-year terms when he was released on parole near the end of May in 2012. That parole was revoked briefly in November of last year. He was released on parole a second time in December and sent to Johnson County, Kan., where a detainer was held on him at that time.
Michael Holland had been reporting to the parole and probation office in Jasper County before being declared an absconder on March 29. He also has burglary and stealing convictions in Jackson County from 1989 and 1992.

WASHINGTON — N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper has filed a lawsuit against ratings agency Standard & Poors, joining more than a dozen of his peers in alleging that the company inflated the ratings on risky investments.
The announcement came a day after the U.S. Department of Justice saidit would bring its own suit against S&P, claiming the company caused more than $5 billion in losses by fraudulently giving high ratings to complex bundles of mortgages despite knowing the housing market was in trouble.
Coopers suit, filed in Wake County, alleges wrongdoing starting in 2001, becoming more common between 2004 and 2007, and lasting until 2011. The lawsuit claims S&P changed its models to give favorable ratings to products pitched by Wall Street banks that paid the company hefty fees.
The suit seeks to force the company to stop claiming that it is objective and to pay penalties.
Investors thought they were getting objective information but they got misled and our entire economy paid a heavy price, Cooper said in a statement. These misrepresentations played a major role in creating the national financial crisis, and they must be prevented from happening again.
In a Monday statement, S&P said a Justice Department suit would be without factual or legal merit and unjustified. The company said it downgraded mortgage-backed securities and repeatedly warned of deteriorating conditions in the housing market, which it says is evidence that the governments claims against it are wrong.
The company said it has brought in new leadership and invested $400 million into its ratings to boost risk management and strengthen independence.
At S&P we have taken to heart lessons learned from the financial crisis and made extensive changes that reinforce the integrity, independence and performance of our ratings, including compliance with todays enhanced regulatory oversight, the company said.
Cooper has joined several multistate actions in recent months, most notably a $25 billion accord with the countrys largest mortgage servicers announced last year.
Last week, Cooper announced North Carolina had joined a settlement with foreclosure service company Lender Processing Services that paid $120 million across 46 states.

Three killed as icy roads cause crashes
WHITE PIGEON TOWNSHIP — Police across Michigan report icy road conditions and multiple accidents, including a one-vehicle crash in the southwest that killed two of the seven people aboard. Another crash in Eaton County has killed a 60-year-old driver.
The St. Joseph County sheriff's department said the double fatal crash happened about 6:40 a.m. Wednesday in White Pigeon Township, 30 miles south of Kalamazoo.
It said the driver was 30-year-old driver Kirk Miller of Keystone, Ind. The department says two of his passengers were killed but didn't immediately release their names.
Eaton County Sheriff Tom Reich tells the Lansing State Journal that Donald Brownlee of Howell was killed when his SUV spun out of control on Interstate 69.
MLive.com said a school bus without children went into a ditch near Caledonia.
Snyder signs law to prevent child sex abuse
LANSING — Gov. Rick Snyder has signed legislation into law that aims to increase education and training in schools to help prevent the sexual abuse of children.
The Republican governor's office announced Wednesday that he signed the bipartisan legislation named "Erin's Law." It's named after a woman from Schaumburg, Ill., who was sexually abused as a child and now campaigns nationally for increased education and protections.
Snyder officials said the bills were among about 30 pieces of legislation getting his signature.
One clarifies that the state's Family Independence program is temporary and not an entitlement. It prevents further cash assistance to families that receive it for at least five years.
Another bill prohibits prisoners from keeping photos and drawings of their victims or any item that belonged to their victims.
Parole agent to interview Kilpatrick
DETROIT — A Michigan parole agent plans to interview ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick about an unreported $2,000 gift from a Chicago pastor.
Corrections Department spokesman Russ Marlan said the interview Thursday will influence what action if any will be taken.
Kilpatrick is on parole for a 2008 state conviction for obstruction of justice and could be sent back to prison. He's now on trial on federal corruption charges.
He still owes $800,000 to Detroit and must regularly report income or gifts to the state.
Kilpatrick received a $2,000 wire transfer in December from the Rev. Corey Brooks of New Beginnings Church.
The Corrections Department has posted a video online showing Kilpatrick getting the cash at a Walmart store in Macomb County. Kilpatrick calls the matter "trivial."
Man gets up to 40 years in dad's death
WARREN — A suburban Detroit man has been sentenced to 12 to 40 years in prison in the beating death of his father.
Jason Kinnie pleaded no contest to a charge of second-degree murder last month. He was charged in the 2011 slaying of 61-year-old Donald Kinnie, whose bloody body was found in the bathroom of his home in Warren.
Authorities said Jason Kinnie killed his father following a fight, and the son's lawyer told the Detroit Free Press his client was drunk at the time.
Prosecutors said that after killing his father, Jason Kinnie hid in the attic for hours before police found him with a heat-seeking device and camera.
Kinnie was sentenced Wednesday in Macomb County Circuit Court. He was given credit for about two years of time served.

While Belleville is busy celebrating its 200th birthday, the St. Clair County Historical Society is looking back at how city residents celebrated previous milestones.
"Belleville Celebrates" is the new exhibit on display in the Richard "Pete" Kern Memorial Gallery at the society's Victorian Home Museum at 701 E. Washington St. in Belleville.
The exhibit is open free of charge from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, on Museum Open House Day in conjunction with Old Belleville Street Fair.
William P. Shannon IV, curator for the museum, said the idea grew out of the "Belleville Bicentennial Exhibition: 200" he helped organize at the William and Florence Schmidt Art Center, which opens July 3.
"I saw all these things people had kept and I wondered in the midst of celebrating this bicentennial, how did we do this in the past?" he said.
Since the historical society was centrally involved in some of the other celebrations, he began looking at what items the society had from them.
"We have a lot of memorabilia from those occasions, things that haven't seen the light of day for a while," Shannon said.
"What does how people celebrate commemorations in the past have to say about them?" he wondered. "You get a sense of how people thought of their history then. We're viewing the world through the lens of celebration.
"It seems to be a part of human nature to want to celebrate this stuff."
One item Shannon found from the 100th anniversary was a canister that once contained a movie of the centennial pageant of 1914.
"If only the film was in there," he lamented. "The label says it was not to be opened until 1939. I have looked and found nothing about it. I would like to know if it was."
He also has some printing plates from the book Reflections, printed during the 150th celebration in 1964.
"We considered printing it again, but decided that ground had already been covered," he said.
Another great item is an enameled beer bucket from the 150th celebration.
"What one thing could be more Belleville?" he said. "I have had so many people tell me about taking a bucket to saloons when they were kids to get beer for their families.
"I think the fact that they made beer buckets for a celebration speaks to what kind of people they were."
There are photos, including an aerial photo of the Belleville Public Square in 1964 and parade photos, because it isn't an official Belleville event without a parade.
"The souvenirs were a good way to get people involved in the celebrations," Shannon said. "I think what they made and what they kept says a lot about us as a people."
Shannon said the approach he likes is the worm's eye view of history involving everyday people, not just the great and noble. He stressed to the people donating items to the Schmidt exhibit how important the items they were bringing might be.
"We make history everyday," he said. "What the city is doing now may be part of an exhibit in the future. You people are making history now."
He said "Belleville Celebrates" probably will be on exhibit through the end of the year and he may add items as the year progresses.
Regular hours at the museum are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday, and by appointment. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children.

Dems Tout GOP Payroll Tax Plan as Political Victory
Dems see political gain in surprising announcement from House GOP.
Democrats have been claiming for weeks that they have the upper hand in negotiations over how to extend the payroll tax cut through 2012. They proved that claim Monday. After negotiations between the two parties seemed hopelessly bogged down over details, GOP leadership caught many people off guard Monday by announcing the preparation of a backup plan to extend a two percentage point tax cut until the end of the year without offsetting its cost. Recently claiming that the standoff was due to Democratic insistence that the proposal include tax hikes, Monday was a dramatic reversal for Republicans, who have long claimed that the measure should be paid for with cuts elsewhere in government.
[Will Dems Call New Tax Law 'The Romney Rule?']
While the GOP claimed their reversal was due to Democratic unwillingness to "negotiate in good faith," Senate Democrats could barely contain their glee over the GOP's new proposal, privately touting the move as a political concession.
"Republicans know their ongoing hand-wringing on getting their members to support this tax cut is a loser for them," says one Democratic aide with knowledge of the negotiations. "Seems like this is their latest way out."
According to another Democratic aide, Republicans made the offer over the weekend and Democrats considered it to be a "breakthrough."
[Bernanke Warns Senators to Alter Fiscal Path.]
House leaders said they would set the proposal for a vote later this week unless there was progress in the negotiations in the conference committee, the formal process for resolving differences between Senate and House bills.
"Unfortunately, to date, Democrats have refused virtually every spending cut proposed – insisting instead on job-threatening tax hikes on small business job creators – and with respect to the need for an extension of the payroll tax cut, time is running short," according to a statement from Republican leadership.
With the payroll tax issue out of the equation, the conference committee will still have to resolve how to continue extended unemployment benefits through 2012, as well as some adjustments to payments for Medicare doctors, both of which must be resolved by the end of February. Some Republicans feel they have the upper hand in those negotiations.
[6 Things That Could Derail the Economic Rally.]
"We can continue demanding spending cuts, welfare reforms, and a more sensible duration of unemployment benefits in exchange for other things," says one Republican aide.

Plans unveiled to tear down Wimbledon dog track
12:32pm Thursday 10th May 2012 in News By Omar Oakes
Plans to demolish Wimbledon greyhound stadium and replace it with housing and a multiplex cinema could spell the end of 80 years of dog racing at the historic site.
It also raises the prospect of AFC Wimbledon moving back to site, in Plough Lane, just metres from the former home of Wimbledon FC until 1991.
The proposal, which has not yet been submitted to Merton Council, would signal the end of the UK's oldest greyhound track, which hosts the biggest dog race in the country, the Derby.
Galliard Homes – which co-owns the site with GRA Limited and investment company Risk Capital management – has appointed an architect to draw up plans to build 798 apartments on the site, as well as a multi-screen cinema.
It opens the possibility of AFC Wimbledon returning to its former home, because Merton Council has stated any redevelopment of the site should have an "intensification of sporting activity".
The leader of the council, Councillor Stephen Alambritis, has made no secret of his desire for Wimbledon's football team to come to its original home in Plough Lane.
He said: "The council done everything it can to bring the club back to Merton.
"We have specifically made the plough lane site an area for sports intensification. Any development would have to go along with that."
He added he was happy to set up a pre meeting between developers and the council.
Galliard Homes has appointed Battersea-based BUJ Architects to draw a plan which includes:
- 798 apartments (55 per cent one-bedroom, 35 per cent two-bedroom, 10 per cent three bedroom);
- 35 per cent affordable housing in the north-west corner of the site;
- a two-floor commercial building encased in a metal shell. The building houses five cinema screens, a restaurant and a bar;
- A multi-storey car park in the north-east corner and a basement car park with 775 parking spaces for commercial and residential use.
Greyhound racing enthusiasts are understood to be launching a campaign to save the dog stadium – which has hosted the Derby at the site since 1985 and dog racing for more than 80 years.
A source close to AFC Wimbledon said they were unaware of the development but would be interested in the site.
They said: "If the scheme was viable then I am sure the club would be interested in looking at it."
Galliard Homes and the GRA refused to comment on the plans.
It is understood that Morrisons also bid for the site, along with four others owned by the GRA.

GR-London says...
The politicians need to get a grip on the unavoidable fact that this country is overpopulated and if they don't deal with it, future generations face a very grim and troublesome existence.
The riots of summer 2011 will be nothing in comparison.
Disaster awaits.

1) it is a valuable place of entertainment
2) a piece of social history
3) the last one left in London
If English Heritage can protect the pit lane buildings at Thruxton race circuit (an old breeze block building) then they should be looking at protecting Wimbledon stadium. The key thing is there is loads of space inside the building where units could be built / let out to businesses related to the sports that use / have used the stadium.
1) Bring the speedway back - not as the Dons but as a neutral circuit for play offs and internationals. Share the shale surface with the stock cars.
2) Have a museum celebrating the social history of the place and the area.
3) Have an engineering workshop for young people to get involved with the speedway bikes and cars.
4) Have a Greyhound racing museum.
There are other ideas as well. It's a beautiful building and facility - let's not lose it to more housing.
By the way, the number of residents they are planning to allow would actually increase the traffic, rubbish and noise produced from the area that the stadium occupies...

stock car says...
fast becoming a dense suburban dormitory --- it nothing but housing. When a city loses all entertainmnets except indoors, like cionemas and bars, a city loses its communities. I remember walking, biking, and busing to watch soccer and speedway and stock cars in Brum and Bristol and London. I even recall one stock car driver hurriedly driving his car across the street to Harringay Stadium! The power of money and private property is destroying our cities, and nobody questions the 'rightness' of money-comes-first.
I hope Wimbledon can be saved. There was a time when Londoners filled 80,000+ seats at Wembley and West Ham. Those were good days.

Gone are the days on the man who had a greyhound, who cared about it and raced it. Once the gambling industry got involved everything changed and greed and denial came walking in. It is a vile industry and anyone who likes to call themselves an animal lover should go to a greyhound track and see the drunks cheer when dogs are injured. These are not places where children should be taken either. Dont attend dog races or bet on them. Bet on virtual racing is you really want to give your money to the gamboing industry.

Bird Bath Open For Business
updated: Nov 29, 2012, 3:53 PM
By Edhat Subscriber
The fountain in our yard is apparently the hottest bird spa in town! Today was treated to an amazing
display of this Ruby-crowned kinglet enjoying his bath and then perching on the nearby tomato cage to
fluff up and dry. While the hot pink crest on male birds is not normally visible, this guy flashed it several
times while drying off. I've been waiting for a shot of the hot pink crest like this for over a year, one of my
favorite birds.

Channel 6 News has learned that the Internal Revenue Service has filed three liens against Omaha City Councilman Ben Gray and his wife, Omaha Public School Board President Freddie Gray, for non-payment of taxes.
Documents obtained from the Douglas County Register of Deeds by Channel 6 show the couple has outstanding back taxes dating from 1996 through 2011 in the total amount of $60,366.08.
Councilman Gray told Channel 6 News Thursday "it takes a little time to work your way out of it" and that "we'll do what we have to do" to get the issue resolved. He said they have paid back some of the debt and currently owe just under $50,000.
Documents also show the Grays had two previous liens filed by the IRS in the total amount of $15,702.85 and three additional previous liens filed by the state against them for a total of $3,801.50. Councilman Gray said those liens have been paid off.

The Oilers have to add five players and most of them have to handle heavy loads.
Is anyone challenging front office decisions?
In today's press conference announcing changes to the front office, those in charge, including Kevin Lowe, were asked some tough questions. This was a rather unexpected turn of events from a media group that doesn't typically question the message.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have axed their GM after six years on the job and one playoff appearance.
Rick Nash made an incredible play right as his former GM was getting the axe.
On the state of the Blue Jackets and how this 29th place team isn't making any progress.
On the surface, the casual fan will name the Rangers as the big winner by a landslide in this supposed "fleecing" of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yet a closer look reveals a much trickier story, fraught with risk and ... of course money.
People blame Columbus Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson for dragging out the Rick Nash trade, but Nash shouldn't get a free pass for pulling a Heatley.
Developmental camp continues in Brandon; the Matt Carle signing on several levels; Scott Howson and the Peter Principle in the NHL; all that and Tiffany with the weather forecast (or not) in this edition of our link roundup.
"Two weeks ago, an NHL general manager said that netminder Marc-Andre Fleury was the most important Penguin because he covered for a team that gave up a lot of chances."From point 13 from Elliote Friedman's latest "30 Thoughts". Not Malkin, not Crosby, not Letang, Staal, or Neal. An actual GM thinks Fleury is the most important Penguin. Unbelievable.

Cowboy cook and rancher Tom Perini made a bold decision in 1983. With oil and cattle prices depressed, he turned a hay barn on his family spread into a restaurant, hoping to draw folks from nearby Abilene. Serving Texas standards with genuine hospitality, he has created a signature rural roadhouse.Grilled steaks are the heart of the menu. Tom knew that if he opted for prime beef, he would price himself out of the local market. He chose instead to grill the best choice rib eyes, strips, and filets. The appeal of those steaks owes much to mesquite. The scrubby, thorny trees grow everywhere in this arid terrain. And their coals yield a pungent smoke that perfumes the air.Comfort foods and chuck wagon favorites fill out the offerings, including green chile hominy and garlicky cowboy potatoes. For dessert, there's whiskey-laced bread pudding.
Alan Richman, restaurant critic for GQ, has sent some big love Texas's way. Number one on his list of the best new restaurants of the year is Qui, in Austin. Also making the list, at number thirteen, is La Barbecue, in Austin. No other Texas places were included. (Qui, incidentally, is number eight on Texas Monthly's list of the ten best restaurants in Texas, published in our March 2014 issue. La Barbecue was on our roster of the top fifty barbecue joints in Texas, published in June 2013.) Here are excerpts from Richman's comments.
"On the long-overlooked east side of Austin stands the most fascinating new restaurant in America. Thanks to Paul Qui and other local chefs, what used to be the toughest part of town is now the tastiest. Qui's high-end restaurant could be mistaken for a sushi bar but isn't one—you'll realize it's more than that when you see the vast, gleaming open kitchen where he prepares food displaying an array of Asian and Texan influences. Most unusual and daring are dishes from the Philippines, where Qui was born. These include dinuguan, a pork-blood stew containing mushrooms, meat, and potato gnocchi. . . . His Ode to Michel Bras pays homage to the famous foraging French chef and is one of the best vegetable dishes of the year. . . .There's also beef tartare, which wanders far from cattle country—it's spiced with kimchi. . . .If Paul Qui isn't the most fearless chef in America, he's surely the most confident."
"It isn't pretty, that's for sure. It subscribes to the new school of barbecue aesthetic, which means it's almost a dump. You enter a compound with a dirt floor and chain-link fencing, pick up your food at a trailer, sit at a picnic table under what could be a second-hand revival tent . . . . The barbeque is some of the best ever, as good as barbecue gets. . . .The brisket is so exquisite you can ask for it lean, usually a mistake, and it will come out soft and savory."Read More

La Kiva, Terlingua's first well-known bar and restaurant, was dug into the banks of Terlingua Creek in 1979. The over-the-top décor relied heavily on the plentiful bones common to the desert, and on Tuesday morning, February 4, when La Kiva's owner, Glenn Felts, was found dead outside the building, the mementi mori appeared almost grotestque.
Felts had been killed sometime the night before; his body was discovered by an early-arriving employee. The Texas Rangers and crime scene investigators from El Paso joined the Brewster County Sheriff's Department, and together they determined that the death was a homicide. By the end of the day, local river guide Tony Flint had been charged with first-degree murder.
Felts, 50, with his long, curly blond hair and boyish smile, developed a loyal following for La Kiva and turned it into both a welcome watering hole for locals and a friendly tourist destination that has drawn thousands of visitors over its decades-long history. La Kiva was the demented brain-child of Gil Felts, Glenn's uncle, who built La Kiva out of stone and old beams. To access the subterranean bar and music venue, patrons entered through a huge, counter-weighted mine-shaft door, and walked down several steps, which led to an opening revealing many rooms, grottos, and caverns to the right and left. A creekside patio draped in grapevines hosted dances, weddings, and parties.
In the recent past live music was featured nearly every night, and each Wednesday for seventeen years, La Kiva hosted an open mic night. The Wednesday after Glenn's death, the bar was still a crime scene, but that didn't stop a large crowd of grieving friends from gathering outside to keep the open microphone tradition alive, despite the cold temperatures and blustery wind.
If Flint posts bond, currently set at $200,000, he will be required to stay in Brewster or adjacent counties. He had asked to be released to family in Missouri, but the court nixed that idea. When a reporter contacted Greg Henington of Far Flung Outdoor Center about whether Flint would still have a job, Henington answered with one word: "No."
The fate of La Kiva is unknown, but the grief in the community is still palpable.
*Correction: Due to an editing error, the Starlight Theater was referred to as Terlingua's only remaining bar. It is the town's only other whisky bar.Read More

By DENISE A. RAYMO
---- — MALONE — Franklin County legislators want to know if the Sheriff's Department has a road patrol or not.
The inquiry comes just two weeks after District 1 Legislator Guy "Tim" Smith (D-Fort Covington) was arrested by a sheriff's deputy for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
Sheriff Kevin Mulverhill is scheduled to meet with the Public Safety Committee at 9:30 a.m. today to explain the job duties of his officers when it comes to making arrests.
"I have eight deputies with police powers who patrol," he said. "I'm not assigning anyone, and we have no radar units or a road patrol.
"The deputies serve civil summonses and check on registered sex offenders, but if they see a violation or a crime, they have an obligation to take action."
He was told that legislators have fielded several calls from constituents about sheriff's patrols since the news of Smith's arrest went public.
But, he said, those calls should have been referred to his office for answers, just as questions and concerns involving the criminal-justice system are referred to District Attorney Derek Champagne.
"The legislators are in charge of my budget, and I treat them with respect, but I am not a department head, and I don't answer to them," the sheriff said.
"They don't appoint me. I'm elected by Franklin County voters. That's who I work for."
Smith, 71, was pulled over on Robinson Circle just off Route 37 at the Westville/Malone town line about 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 15.
Deputy Luke Cromp said in his arrest report that he saw the vehicle "being driven erratically."
A field-sobriety test conducted with the assistance of the State Police allegedly determined Smith's blood-alcohol level was between 0.05 and 0.08 percent, which led to the DWAI charge and a count of failure to stay within his own driving lane.
He reportedly registered a 0.055 percent on the roadside-sobriety test but did not exceed the 0.08 percent BAC threshold for drunken driving.
During an initial appearance in Malone Town Court last week, Smith pleaded not guilty.
His defense attorney, Kevin Nichols, challenged the blood-alcohol results, saying his client was not impaired.
Judge Michael Lamitie ordered a supporting deposition be filed by the Sheriff's Department, and the case was adjourned until 9:30 a.m. Oct. 1.
Smith is running unopposed for re-election this fall and has served on the County Legislature since 2001, six of those years as chairman.
He has not responded to Press-Republican requests for comment on his arrest.

LONGVIEW, Texas (AP) — Louisiana authorities have arrested a third person now facing capital murder charges for the slaying of a Texas man whose beaten and burned body was found a week ago in East Texas's Upshur County.
Vernon Parish officials tell the Longview News-Journal (http://bit.ly/VivFLc ) 21-year-old Andrew Conrad Norwine was arrested Tuesday, is jailed in Leesville, La., under $1 million bond and awaiting extradition to Texas.
Twenty-year-old Sarah Haslam and 19-year-old Daniel Jones, both of Longview, also are charged with the beating death of 27-year-old Ronnie Joe Gammage. Court documents say the death was related to Gammage's attempt to regain property after his wallet was stolen in a November mugging.
Gammage was reported missing Dec. 8. His body was found two weeks later.

James Perse was born in Los Angeles, California in 1972. James' childhood was split between the beach, the hockey rink and the floor of his father's innovative Los Angeles boutique, Maxfield. With Maxfield at the forefront of putting Los Angeles on the fashion map, James received an incidental education on cutting edge fashion from Europe and Asia, on modern architecture, furniture design and on the elegant and the clean-line.
Ironically, sports led James to his first foray into fashion. Obsessed with baseball caps, he could never find one that was well designed - with quality construction, shape, fabric and coloring. In 1991, James set out to make the ideal cap for Maxfield and it was not long before customers became clients - film directors ordered hats for their cast and crew and record labels bought them for tours.
In 1994 he launched a t-shirt line that rapidly gained loyal fans looking for a seamless blend of luxe and casual. In 1996, James founded his first namesake collection of women's knits, which soon developed into two distinctly wearable collections; Standard James Perse for high-quality basics and James Perse Los Angeles ready-to-wear items, including jackets, sweaters, pants and dresses. In 1998, the brand launched an equally outlined men's collection and later, a line for babies and children.
His passion for minimalist architecture influenced by warm west-coast indoor outdoor living and the casual clothing that's inspired by it, ultimately resulted in James' personal design philosophy and aesthetic - low maintenance high fashion - emphasizing elegance and comfort, pairing sophistication with simplicity. James has applied this visionary approach in every step of defining and developing the brand.
In 2003, James Perse opened its first retail store. The retail environment acts as a medium for conveying the company's culture, ideas and values. James Perse is also available at top specialty retailers such as Barneys New York, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue and is sold internationally. James Perse launched its online shopping site in 2007 reaching a broader audience. Currently, a boutique hotel that captures the James Perse lifestyle is in development.
