At 4:05 p.m. Thursday, a 31-year-old West Allis man was arrested for theft and possession of drug paraphernalia after he was seen concealing three Xbox games in his jacket at , 2421 N. Mayfair Rd.
Police were called because employees recognized the man as the same suspect who on several earlier occasions run out of the store after hanging around in the game section, setting off sensor alarms. In those instances, store personnel had been unable to catch the thief or determine exactly what was stolen.
This time, police stopped him in the store and asked him whether he had any concealed merchandise, to which he replied, "I have some games inside my jacket." Police then asked if he intended to steal them, and he said, "Yes, I was gonna take them." Asked if police could search his car, he said, "Sure."
Whereupon, officers found "a plethora" of drug implements, including three syringes, two packs of extra-small cotton balls, five "cooking caps," alcohol wipes, two rubber arm straps and two razor blades. The man said that when he gave permission to search the car, he had forgotten about all his drug gear being there.
He said he had been a heroin addict for about four years. The three "Alice – Madness Returns" games he tried to steal retail for $59.99 each. The man said he can usually sell his ill-gotten goods at game stores for about a quarter of their retail value.
In other incidents:
Police were called to the pharmacy at the store at 10800 W. Capitol Dr. on a report of a fraudulent prescription filled the night before. A customer at the drive-through window had presented a prescription for 120 15mg Oxycodone tablets from a doctor at . When the customer returned to pick it up, she had no identification as required by law, but the pharmacy technician accepted the ID of a passenger in the car and billed the transaction to Medicaid. A check of the sale Thursday morning showed that the same "patient" had obtained 120 30mg Oxycodone tabs on June 6 at another Walgreens store with a prescription from the same pad and just one sequence number lower. A check with Froedtert showed no such patient on record.
At 12:45 a.m., a 40-year-old Milwaukee woman was arrested for drunken driving, first offense, during a traffic stop in the 11200 block of West Burleigh Street. Police had received a 911 call from a woman who said she was following a possibly intoxicated driver who was weaving from lane to lane and crossing the center line. When stopped, the woman claimed she wasn't drunk but had an open wine cooler in the car. She could not recite the alphabet in four attempts, failed a field sobriety test and finally blew a .17 blood alcohol content on a breath test. The woman became belligerent and told officers she had left her four children alone at home.
A resident of the 1200 block of North 68th Street was being sought on probable cause for battery after he beat up his live-in girlfriend in a domestic dispute.
A resident of the 2500 block of Swan Boulevard reported that prescription drugs, coins and jewelry had been taken from his home and that he strongly suspected a young man he had hired to do yard work and who was allowed to come inside to use the bathroom. Police had so far been unable to locate the suspect.
Several instances of cars being entered and rifled overnight were reported in the area of the 10400 block of West Vienna Avenue and nearby on West Feerick Place. In one incident, a GPS unit was taken; in the other two, only loose change and some currency was stolen.
At 1:10 a.m., a 23-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested for driving while under the influence of narcotics, first offense, after a traffic stop for a non-operating taillight in the 2200 block of Wauwatosa Avenue. The man was found to be in possession of marijuana and admitted to having smoked some earlier.
A 16-year-old Wauwatosa boy was arrested for theft and possession of alcohol as a minor after he was caught trying to steal a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey from , 6950 W. State St. A 17-year-old Wauwatosa boy who was with him was arrested as party to a crime. The 16-year-old had been seen three times earlier on surveillance video, always stealing one bottle of Jack Daniels.
At 12:31 a.m., a 38-year-old Milwaukee woman was arrested for drunken driving, first offense, after she hit a parked car in the 2300 block of North 70th Street and showed signs of being intoxicated. She performed poorly on a field sobriety test and blew a .13 BAC.

Who Exactly Are the Bums?
Gwen's Take
September 17, 2010
With a little over six weeks left before Americans go to the poll and put us out of our midterm election madness/misery, this year's prevailing political story line got a fresh bump this week: voters want to throw the bums out.
This morning-after punditry has become more and more predictable with every new poll and every primary election night. Americans are angry, economically stressed and completely over Washington. Obama. Congress. It matters not. They just know what's happening now is not working.
Recalculating: News and Politics in the Age of GPS
Gwen's Take
Like many of you, I have become slightly addicted to the voice embedded in my dashboard that tells me where and how to drive my car.
If I miss an exit, it grows silent for a moment before calmly advising me that it is "recalculating."
If only there were a global positioning app for the news and politics.
The Peace of The Brave: Middle East Peace Talks Then and Now
Gwen's Take
"A great moment of opportunity," she said.
"There's a lot of skepticism out there," he said. "But I think there is ground to be hopeful."
Why We Love It When the President Goes Away
Gwen's Take
The President of the United States is on vacation. I am not. It rained for his first three days in Martha's Vineyard. The sun was shining here. (Tee hee.)
Forgive my enjoyment. But it's nice to take a break from news of floods, imminent hurricanes, mosque debates and the impending spectacle of Glenn Beck and Al Sharpton facing off on the National Mall this weekend, to meditate on something lighter for a change – time off.
An Unplanned Aberration: A peek behind the curtain at the PBS NewsHour

Leaning Left and Right: Why Labels Won't Help This Year
Gwen's Take
OK, folks, it's time for another of my periodic forays into definitional politics.
To accomplish this, I have to take my own profession to task – and then rise to its defense. The problem: we reach too easily for shorthand. The defense: we live for shorthand.
This run-up to this week's elections gave us a rich trove of gaffes to choose from to help me make my point, but I'll settle on two events that lend themselves to two key questions.
Retiring "Mission Accomplished" & The Long Hot Summer

Perhaps Oprah brought the President a cake when she joined his tight circle of Chicago friends for a birthday dinner this week. That's more of a celebration than he has been able to have for any of his other landmark dates this year.
Consider the options.
Toxic Conversations
Gwen's Take
A few years ago, my friends Mark Halperin, now of Time Magazine, and John Harris, now of Politico, coined the term "freak show" as a catchall for the fever that overtakes those of us in the information gathering business from time to time. "Toxicity," they wrote in their 2006 political book, "The Way to Win," "is the new defining trait of modern American politics."
Entering the "Twitterverse"
Gwen's Take
You see, that headline is what I've always hated about Twitter.
It's way too cute.
But, alas, I have been lured in.
My first week on Twitter has been enlightening, funny and a little creepy.
You have to understand first that I have long been a firm anti-Twitterer. Life and news is complicated enough to explain without limiting yourself to 140 characters. Plus, I generally have less than zero interest in the eating, dieting and work day habits of people I have never met.
Yet, and still…
Taking the candor challenge
Gwen's Take
Let me let you in on a Washington reality game show ----the ongoing push and pull between journalists and the people they cover. The prize: simple candor.
By candor, I don't mean that I expect the people we interview to act contrary to their own best personal and political interests. But in an ideal world, it would be nice if everybody could at least try to play by the same Q&A rules.
To wit: we'll ask the smartest questions we possibly can, and you will at least take a stab at offering a revealing answer.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee State University officially announced Thursday that they have accepted an invitation to become a member of Conference USA.
The crowd broke out into the university's fight song after President Sidney McPhee made the announcement at the new student union. He called Blue Raider fans the "greatest fans in America."
"I'd like to thank Chris Massaro, our coaches, the athletic administrators and our student athletes that have helped build our program," McPhee said.
Athletic Director Chris Massaro said serious discussions started last spring about the change. He said he is "excited about the opponents we will play in all of our venues."
"I think we'll be able to get some recruits we may not have been able to get to in the past," Massaro said.
MTSU will make the move to the new conference no later than July 1, 2014.
Massaro added they are excited to play their Sun Belt schedules, and will be good members of the conference as they finish out their time.
The Blue Raiders (8-3) play Arkansas State on Saturday for the Sun Belt Conference championship.
MTSU has been a member of the Sun Belt conference for the past 12 years. Prior to that, MTSU spent two years as an independent and the previous 47 years as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference
The move is the latest domino to fall in conference realignment. Conference USA will be losing half of its members over the next two years, but it's already in the process of adding seven more including MTSU.
The team will also be getting more exposure as Conference USA carries name recognition.
Florida Atlantic University, Florida International and North Texas will all be leaving the Sunbelt for Conference USA.
Tulane and East Carolina announced Tuesday they are leaving Conference USA to join the Big East. The Green Wave will be full Big East members; the Pirates football only.
Conference USA is an established, nationally recognized FBS conference that sponsors 20 sport championships.
The C-USA membership beginning July 1, 2013, will include Charlotte, East Carolina, FIU, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UTEP, and UTSA. The league office is located in Irving, Texas.

Fire Capt. Andy Holland said the Wayland Fire Department has responded to numerous calls throughout Wayland today, but he isn't aware of any storm-related injuries in spite of plenty of falling trees and debris.
Holland said he personally had responded to three calls for trees on homes, leaving behind some significant damage, and, he said there could have been other calls to which he didn't respond. Still, he knew of no hospital transports for injuries.
But the damage isn't minimal.
In addition tot he trees into homes, the captain said a pine tree on Route 30 tumbled onto the car of a woman driving past. She was fortunately able to escape the car on her own.
He also said that a portion of the roof of Wayland Nursing and Rehabilitation had sustained significant damage.
Holland estimated there have been more calls for debris and trees down in Cochituate than in north Wayland, but said that trees down in north Wayland tend to be larger and cause a greater disruption to streets.
He said residents should remain off the roads as much as possible tonight as emergency and power crews continue to respond throughout town..

Marcona Almonds from Spain
Snack Trifecta: Fried, Salted, Flavorful
Dense, meaty, sweet and about ten times more flavorful than almonds we grow in the States. Naturally sweeter than American almonds, the Spaniards kick up the flavor of marconas by skinning the almonds, lightly frying them in oil and then sprinkling with sea salt.
The salty/sweet combination is addictive. You'll nibble one. Then a few. Soon enough, your hand will be covered in salt and nut flakes from grabbing handful after handful, and then they'll be gone. You'll have eaten them all. Oh, well. Grab another bag and start all over again.

Measuring Performance: The VA vs. Nonfederal Hospitals
During this time of transition, among the many philosophical questions the American medical community faces is this: Is healthcare in this country about treating or preventing disease? Numerous scholarly and journalistic articles suggest the former.
It's a relevant question not only because preventive healthcare dramatically decreases the likelihood of long-term harm to the patient; it is also much cheaper than treating disease after it is diagnosed.
At the VA, where hospitals and doctors have almost lifetime relationships with patients, prevention is a systemic value. The following statistics clearly demonstrate that the VA maintains significantly better levels of preventive care than non-federal hospitals. Yes, the VA system is different, which suggests how we might reform healthcare more broadly, not whether or not the VA is a useful model.

For the record, I've had SEVERAL listeners think that I'm gay. And I perfectly understand why! I'm very open about my inability to do anything masculine (change oil, drink microbrews), I watch The Bachelor, I have good hair, and if I think a dude is good-lookin', I'll say so. But I'm straight. At least twice as straight as most guys* (*citation needed).
So it's having said this that I applaud NBA player Jason Collins for coming out of the closet in an environment where it's much more dangerous to do so than even being a country music DJ. The NBA is haunted by truly macho men, and no matter what anybody says, this guy is taking a risk by coming out. It WILL hurt his career, but hopefully, his bravery will set an example for those who are forced to live a lie in the rest of the league, and the rest of humanity.
Bravo, Mr. Collins. In a truly hetero sense of the phrase, "I got your back." =)

The federal government's tax collection agency, the Internal Revenue Service, sets most rules governing pension plans, and a Labor Department agency regulates plans to prevent abuses. Another federal agency, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, insures retiree benefits under traditional private pensions; a series of laws enacted in the 1980s and 1990s boosted premium payments for this insurance and stiffened requirements holding employers responsible for keeping their plans financially healthy.
The nature of employer-sponsored pensions changed substantially during the final three decades of the 20th century. Many employers -- especially small employers -- stopped offering traditional "defined benefit" plans, which provide guaranteed monthly payments to retirees based on years of service and salary. Instead, employers increasingly offer "defined contribution" plans. In a defined contribution plan, the employer is not responsible for how pension money is invested and does not guarantee a certain benefit. Instead, employees control their own pension savings (many employers also contribute, although they are not required to do so), and workers can hold onto the savings even if they change jobs every few years. The amount of money available to employees upon retirement, then, depends on how much has been contributed and how successfully the employees invest their own the funds.
The number of private defined benefit plans declined from 170,000 in 1965 to 53,000 in 1997, while the number of defined contribution plans rose from 461,000 to 647,000 -- a shift that many people believe reflects a workplace in which employers and employees are less likely to form long-term bonds.
The federal government administers several types of pension plans for its employees, including members of the military and civil service as well as disabled war veterans. But the most important pension system run by the government is the Social Security program, which provides full benefits to working people who retire and apply for benefits at age 65 or older, or reduced benefits to those retiring and applying for benefits between the ages of 62 and 65. Although the program is run by a federal agency, the Social Security Administration, its funds come from employers and employees through payroll taxes. While Social Security is regarded as a valuable "safety net" for retirees, most find that it provides only a portion of their income needs when they stop working. Moreover, with the post-war baby-boom generation due to retire early in the 21st century, politicians grew concerned in the 1990s that the government would not be able to pay all of its Social Security obligations without either reducing benefits or raising payroll taxes. Many Americans considered ensuring the financial health of Social Security to be one of the most important domestic policy issues at the turn of the century.
Many people -- generally those who are self-employed, those whose employers do not provide a pension, and those who believe their pension plans inadequate -- also can save part of their income in special tax-favored accounts known as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Keogh plans.

"Worst book ever"
This was by far the worst book I have downloaded so far. This includes those that were poor in sound quality. I would give it less than 1 star if I could. It was my fault, I didn't read the synopsis carefully enough. I wasn't aware that it was a retread of one of Sandra Brown's first books. Just drivel that goes on far too long. And the narrator thinks that syncopating a southern accent captures the female voice. Not. It just makes it bothersome. It can't believe I wasted a credit on this and I use the term loosely - 'book'. One saving grace - Sandra Brown gets much, much better over time.
"Falls short of expectations"
Typically a Sandra Brown novel read by Dick Hill is hard to beat. The fact that this story has a 1989 copyright, may help explain why this one falls far short of expectations; they were both learning then.
The Hero consistently confuses anger/violence with sex - not a likable trait. The Heroine is forever hostile and so immature, she makes the playboy character seem like an intellectual.
Of course, as in all romance novels, everyone has communication problems but this group of characters take it WAY past patience.
Dick Hill can usually rescue a failing book but not this time. His female voices just don't cut it.
Brown and Hill give a whole new meaning to "You've come a long way, Baby" and thank goodness.
"Another great Sandra Brown novel!"
Lots of suspense and twists. It held me right to the very end. Dick Hill is usually a great reader, but I thought his clipped words made everyone seem angry and pompous. Sandra Brown tells a great story, but the reader did not do the characters justice this time.
"Justice Revenge & Love"
Sandra Brown always tells a good story - this time is no different. When she is telling the story she introduces many characters and pretty soon you are getting ideas as to who could have committed the murder. There are some unexpected twists - but the ending is most satisfactory - and of course, their is passion and love!
"Ms. Brown's earlier formula fiction works well"
As an avid listener of Ms. Brown's fiction, I wasn't surprised to discover this was written almost 20 years ago...published in 1987. The formula, which she has developed very successfully in following books, shows its solid origins in this early work. Love the characters and characterizations of small town citizens of Texas---a fun who-done-it with enough plot twists to keep us listening. An easy listen that doesn't require too much attention---great when walking dogs, doing housework, driving.
My personal reality exists in the many adventures from Audible
""Best Kept Secrets" are best kept secret..."
Unwilling to continue torturing myself, to uncover the "Best Kept Secrets;" I stopped listening after 2 or 3 chapters. Another horrible Sandra Brown title!
HATE spoilers! Enjoy HOT, sexy books. No vampires, paranormal, teens 4 me. Running out this type Audible-so on2 lighter romance/mystery :-(
"Intrigue-Interesting-A Bit Strange Relationships"
The constant 'Who dun it?' is the best.
The 3 men hitting on a woman 20+ years their junior-and the daughter of a woman they all loved was a bit creepy.
I'm not sure-perhaps changing the fact that Alexander was attracted to her mother's old boyfriends...
Yes, but as with most male narrator's his female characters sounded like effeminate men.
I'd consider it more of a mystery than a romance-so more romantic scenes may have made it a romance.
Good, 'clean' book...a few cusses and a PG romantic encounter.
I just Love the Allure of a Great Romance...a Pair of Rose Colored Glasses...some Fine Wine, and a Subscription to Audible...
"Disappointing Story - Good Narration"
I have read 3 novels by Sandra Brown, and this is the first one that I didn't enjoy. I was interested enough to finish the listen (Dick Hill has a great voice), but I found the story's characters unappealing, which is vital to a great book.
The story line, of course, but also the narrator. If the narrator is hard to listen to and only "reads" the book, then the story looses its emphasis for me and I loose interest.
I couldn't figure out "who done it" until the last 1/4 of the book - that's also very important for me. I don't care about the drama, suspense, or storyline if I can figure out who the culprit was.
"Love the writer...hated the book!"
I am a huge Sandra Brown fan and have not read one of her books I did not like...until now. Their was not one likeable character in the whole story. It is one of the only books I have read where I prayed the "heroine" ended up with no one. Dick Hill did a fine job with the narration as usual and this will not stop me from continuing to read and listen to Ms. Brown. Maybe this one just wasn't my cup of tea.
"A really good listen."
A very good romantic suspense story with memorable characters which I really enjoyed listening to.

Well, one of them had a recent column in The New York Times reader Helen Frigo of Jensen Beach though you might be interested in.
In fact, the column from David Stockman, left, head of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan, is downright scary. It talks about the dramatic danger imposed on this nation if the so-called "Bush tax cuts" are not repealed.
Stockman is no bleeding heart, nor were the others pictured above -- Donald Regan (center), Reagan's chief of staff and Treasury secretary, and Martin Feldstein, a Harvard economist and former chairman of Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers.
Scary stuff. What are your thoughts on extending the tax cuts? Time for a national sales tax, anyone?

Wholesale nurserymen sometimes get to influence market trends by growing and marketing plants before retail nurseries and landscapers ask for them. Really though, the most common types of landscapers (the "worst" types) have the most influence, which is why there are so many London plane trees and crape myrtles out there! Sadly, the best wholesale nurserymen who exercise their power to grow the best quality plant material are at a disadvantage to those who factory grow inferior material in order to capitalize on faster turnover. There really is not much power in the wholesale nursery industry. Believe it or not.

---- — MARBLEHEAD — A Marblehead man was listed in critical condition last night at a Boston hospital after a serious one-car crash on Humphrey Street.
Cameron J. Sylvester, 20, of 49 Village St., was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital following the 2:23 a.m. accident.
Sylvester was riding in a gray 1999 Honda SUV with two other men when it struck a tree near the intersection of Tedesco Street, according to police.
When police arrived at the scene, they found two of the occupants of the vehicle "semi-conscious" and one man "unresponsive," according to the Marblehead police log.
"There were some serious injuries," said Detective Sgt. Sean Sweeney.
It took firefighters about 20 minutes to extricate the accident victims from the car, according to the log.
The two other occupants, Maxwell Hill, 21, of 30 Elizabeth St., Lynn, and Michael Willie Johnson, 19, of Mattapan, were treated and released from MGH.
Sylvester was undergoing surgery yesterday afternoon, according to All Marblehead, a Facebook page.
Although initial reports said the driver of the car may have fled on foot, and that a K-9 unit was called in to search for an individual who was 6 feet tall with red hair, Marblehead police said late yesterday that they did not know who was driving or if a fourth person was in the car.
"We're still investigating who was operating the vehicle," Sweeney said. "We have not identified a fourth person."
Police are also trying to determine the cause of the accident.
"We will have a State Police (accident reconstruction) team assisting us," Sweeney said.
The Honda, which was totaled, was owned by William Pappas of 15 William Road, Marblehead, according to the police report.
"The owner of the vehicle called and stated that someone took his vehicle without his permission," the police log stated. "He stated that he was at a friend's house with people and someone took his keys off the counter and took the car. He stated that he doesn't know who took it."

Times West Virginian
Each year, exports keep growing to record levels in West Virginia.
The governor's office recently reported that the state's exports in 2012 totaled $11.3 billion, surpassing 2011's record performance of $9 billion.
"Exports are a valuable contributor to our state's economic growth and stability," Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said in a press release. "While coal continues to be our traditional strength, our top exports also included manufactured products such as plastics, chemicals, machinery and components for medical, automotive and aerospace applications."
In 2012, the state saw a 25 percent increase in exports compared to the previous year, and also beat the 4.6 percent growth rate that the United States experienced. In fact, this is the third year in a row that West Virginia's exports climbed to an all-time high.
"We've had steady growth," said Steve Spence, director of the International Division of the West Virginia Development Office.
For many years, the state's exports were in the range of about $2 billion, but in 2004, the number increased to $3 billion and stayed around that amount for several years, he said. Exports grew to $5.6 billion in 2008, and then dropped down to $4.8 billion in 2009 with the world recession. In 2010, exports amounted to $6.4 billion, and continued to go up to $9 billion in 2011 and $11.3 billion last year.
In 2011, there was a 39.5 percent growth in exports from West Virginia, which led the nation with the largest percentage increase. The country's growth rate that year was 15.8 percent.
Spence said four or five other states had a higher percentage of export growth in 2012 compared to West Virginia. So while West Virginia didn't see the largest increase this time, it was among the state's with the highest growth.
For West Virginia to see huge gains in 2011 and again increase its exports by 25 percent in 2012 was very significant, he said.
"The huge increase is due to coal," Spence said.
In West Virginia, coal — at $7.4 billion — was the product with the largest export sales in 2012, and that represented 49 percent of coal exports in the country. The state's coal exports were only $5.3 billion in 2011.
Spence said the increase in coal exports in the state is tied to the world energy demand. While small businesses with non-coal exports don't see the huge numbers that coal companies do, they are also growing in terms of exports.
After coal, plastics and machinery followed as the leading product sectors, at $1 billion and $834 million, respectively. As a whole, non-coal exports reached $3.67 billion, which was also a record, he said.
Companies in West Virginia sold their products to 136 countries last year.
The following countries were the state's leading trading partners for coal exports: Netherlands, Italy, India, China, Brazil, South Korea, United Kingdom, Turkey, Japan and France. For non-coal exports, the top markets were: Canada, China, Japan, Belgium, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, Brazil, South Korea and United Kingdom.
Exports to China and Japan grew dramatically in 2012, Spence said.
"The products we produce here are products that are needed around the world," he said. "In a smaller state like West Virginia, for a company to sell products and to continue to grow it's necessary that they look beyond their borders. There's great opportunities around the world and our companies are good at looking for those opportunities and finding business."
An increase in exports can help a small company in keeping jobs and adding new positions. Spence said the International Division of the West Virginia Development Office primarily works with small and medium-sized manufacturers to help market them.
The United States only makes up 5 percent of the world's population. Companies in West Virginia are very interested in exporting to overseas markets in order to reach out to the other 95 percent of the world that is outside of the United States, he said.
While exporting can be difficult, it's very possible, Spence said. Companies may be worried about payments from international customers or about logistics like shipping, but the International Division can guide businesses to resources to ease those concerns.
The division has representatives that can meet with companies to help them determine what their best markets are for exporting. The entity also works closely with the U.S. Commercial Service, which has offices around the world, and sponsors trade shows and trade missions in different countries to help hook West Virginia businesses up with potential buyers overseas.
Spence said the Development Office's International Division expects to see a continued increase in exports in the future, but it's hard to know what type of growth the state will experience because of other factors that are involved.

Smart Radar Detection
If you're concerned about radar guns, speed cameras, and red-light cameras while out cruising, invest in Cobra's iRadar Detection system. The detection system consists of the Detector, a sleek, compact device capable of 360° radar detection, and the iRadar app, available for free on iPhone and Android devices.
The detector is functional with or without the app. If you do not have a smartphone, the unit will provide audio alerts when it detects radar and laser signals. Escalating alerts through the unit's speaker will let you know how far away the threat is.
Combined with the app, the system uses your smartphone's GPS technology and Bluetooth connection to give you access to up-to-the-minute alerts for speed and red-light cameras, known speed traps, and dangerous intersections.

Two young men were killed by trains -- one was ruled a "suicide by train -- in the greater Lehigh Valley area on Sunday. There's no indication the deaths were related, but were instead a bizarre coincidence.
The deaths come less than a month after a woman escaped injury when she accidentally drove onto train tracks near South Mall in January and got stuck there.
On Sunday, a 19-year-old Wilson man died after being hit by a Norfolk-Southern Train near Island Park Road along the Lehigh River in Glendon, according to Pennsylvania state police at the Belfast barracks.
The man's legs were severed, said Easton Police. He died of blunt force trauma injuries at St. Luke's University Hospital in Fountain Hill. His death has been ruled a suicide by the Northampton County Coroner, according to a Lehigh Valley Live report. His family is remembering him as someone who suffered from depression but loved racing motorcycles.
A man in his 20s was also found killed on railroad tracks Sunday in Weissport, Carbon County, according to a Morning Call report. Weissport is about 20 miles north of Allentown. He may have been intoxicated; the coroner has not yet ruled on his manner and cause of death.
Train accidents involving people and vehicles aren't uncommon in the Lehigh Valley. There were at least two incidents in 2011 including one "suicide by train" -- an Alburtis man was killed in May 2011 when a train hit his car.
A Bethlehem man was killed by a train while trying to remove a cast iron pipe from the tracks near Emmaus in April 2011. That death was ruled an accident.
Train deaths make up about 3 percent of all suicides in the United States, according to the Federal Railroad Administration, which released a report last year saying trespasser suicides are a growing problem. The administration is studying whether fences and other barriers can be a more effective deterrent.
A national suicide prevention hotline is available at 1-800-273-8255
About 15 people in the Philadelphia area committed suicide by train from 2006 to 2011, according to a Philly.com report that noted how traumatic the tragedy can be for train operators driving a 400-ton locomotive.
2012 marked the first year the railroad administration attempted to collect data on the number of suicide train deaths. Rail lines are now required to include the medical examiners' manner-of-death findings in information submitted to the Federal Railroad Administration.

The human cost of raising the retirement age
A grayer workforce with brimming bucket lists may await us if a proposal to raise the retirement age makes its way into law.
Three Republican senators this month unveiled a plan that included raising the retirement age to 70 by 2032. A plan supported by the majority of members of the Deficit Reduction Committee proposes raising the retirement age to 69. The change would begin phasing in by 2022 for those born in 1960 or later.
The retirement age is the age seniors can begin to collect Social Security benefits. Both plans are aimed at trying to fix the Social Security system, which is straining under the weight of retiring baby boomers — those born between 1946 and 1964 — and increased longevity.
Much has been written about the financial aspect of these proposals, but less has been examined on the human cost of such a plan.
Geriatric psychiatrist Dr. Helen Lavretsky, a professor at the Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, has seen an upswing in enrollment for her geriatric depression studies since the recession began. If the retirement age is raised, she expects more.
"I anticipate many more people suffering from depression, anxiety and from that, more cognitive problems," Lavretsky said.
Ventura County Health Agency director Dr. Bob Gonzalez said physical health problems can arise if a person is in an unsatisfying job strictly for health benefits and salary.
"It's important not to underestimate the effects of stress," Gonzalez said. "It chronically elevates the adrenaline level. Your heart can be affected by that. You might unmask heart disease."
Elena Garza, 61, retired this year from her job as an attendance technician in an Oxnard school district. If she could have afforded to, she would have retired last year. Her husband of 41 years died of heart disease a year ago.
"If I would have retired, we would have traveled," she said. "Gone to Texas and visited family."
Others, like Westlake Village orthodontist Dr. William Hang, hope to work as long as they can. He didn't give his age except to say he is a baby boomer. Hang ran the Boston Marathon last week, so he's doing all he can to stay healthy enough to stick by the dentist's chair.
"I hope to die by the chair," he said. "I tell my patients, 'I just hope you're not the one in the chair when I do.' "
Because she is a widow, Garza collects her husband's Social Security benefits, but she will have to wait a few years to collect hers. Garza has lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
"You get to an age where you're drained," Garza said. "We're living longer and they want us to keep on working, but what if we can't?"
Everyone ages differently, health experts say, and diet and exercise can add quality years. But all of us become more vulnerable to chronic ailments as we age.
"We know the incidence of Alzheimer's begins to rise in the mid-60s and gets even steeper in the 70s," said Dr. Kenneth Kosik, a professor of neuroscience at UC Santa Barbara. "People are going to be in the workplace with this. Some of them will be getting Alzheimer's while they're still on the job."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the 70s are a lot different from the 60s. According to a six-year survey completed in 2006, those 65 can expect at least 12 more years of activity without aches and pains that limit the ability to perform daily tasks. At 75, you can expect about 6 more years.
The CDC says the number of serious eyesight problems more than double every decade after the age of 65.
If you're one of those who develops mild cognitive impairment in your mid-60s, how valuable will you be in the workplace? And if you're laid off when you're older, it can be difficult to find work that will last until you can draw Social Security benefits.
Lavretsky said some people in their 70s are resilient and don't want to retire, but a large percentage have physical and cognitive disabilities.
"The people I'm dealing with are struggling to find employment. Employment for them is nearly impossible," Lavretsky said.
Beyond that, many seniors may have to spend their healthiest golden years on the job, rather than taking that motorcycle trip they always dreamed of.
Annie Venable, 19, of Ventura sat outside a Camarillo coffee shop this week filling out a job application to work a minimum-wage job at a mall. The Azusa Pacific University speech pathology major knows she'll see many job applications if she works for the next 50 years.
"I think it's good for us," Venable said, when asked about working until age 70. "It keeps us busy."
At this point, her last worry is retirement. She wants work, which is tough in this economy, she said.
"Older people are trying to get our jobs," she said.
Camarillo U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Stephen Christian, 39, said mandatory retirement age for law enforcement officers is 60, so he expects to be looking for a job then. He's not looking forward to it.
"I've been trained really well, but I'm starting to feel the effects of getting older, even at my age," he said. "When I get up in the morning, it's like, 'Is that supposed to pop?' "
The average age of the waitresses at the Vagabond Inn Coffee Shop is around 60. Most collect Social Security and work part-time both for the money and because they love being around one another and the customers.
"There's no way in hell I can retire," said Sharon Antonson, 68. "I'd have to have six roommates." Waitress Yvonne Young, 71, said, "I can't afford to quit and I don't know what I'd do with myself if I quit."
California Lutheran University organizational psychologist Dr. Bruce Gillies recommends older workers retrain in another field if necessary, and stay current on technology. Technology will be an asset for those who need to work into their late 60s, he said.
"Working from home will be a significant option for older workers to look at," Gillies said. "That, or being a consultant."
A sense of meaning and belonging can be a very good thing, according to health experts, so maybe continuing to work a bit longer can actually help seniors remain vital, according to Gonzalez.
When he was in private practice, Gonzalez noticed that the one thing his healthy centenarians had in common was a sense of purpose.
"That purpose is defined by the individual," Gonzalez said. "Taking care of great-grandchildren was purpose for some. Others was centered around servicing others, family, church or volunteerism. It's about redefining your dream."

A crafty bunch
The KNS is a crafty bunch. Just a few examples ...
Christina's hooked on scrapbooking.
My free time is spent knitting.
Like Christina, I am now up until all hours of the morning with my new hobby.
If I'm going to do something, I'm into it. No half-done potholder for me. I'm sure you've seen those large stackable organizing cubes ... I have three of them full of yarn and patterns ...
Since April or May, when I started, I've made a few scarves, a purse, slippers, a few iPod cases, and a top-secret project I've been working on all summer which is yet to be revealed in case the recipient happens upon this entry :) I'm now working on a belt, the only clothing item I dare make out of 100% wool.
I guess everyone is entitled to go a bit overboard on something ... at least wrapping, scrapbooking and knitting won't get us into too much trouble.

Bride, hyperspeed
Darryl and I attended the bridal show today at the Knoxville Convention Center. What a surreal experience.
As a journalist, I am used to asking the questions, having to hunt down answers and practically begging people for information. I am not used to it being given to me in a massive deluge, and with such a hard push. I felt like I was in the middle of a hyper-speed television ad that wouldn't stop.
Overall the show was worthwhile, especially since we have no location, no clothing, no food, no nothing. If I was halfway through planning, I am sure I could have used some of the booths, but it would not have been as much help.
I guess that's the good and bad. It's good to get information, but it was a bit overwhelming, too.

Hard times show true nature
I went outside this morning to head out for the day with Darryl, and found that my car had been vandalized. Someone threw a rock into the rear window of my car, which took out the top 1/4 of the glass and left the rest of my window hanging on by a cracked thread.
We dealt with it the best we could and later went about our business, in Darryl's car.
Later came time for work. I drove ever-so-slowly about two or three blocks from my house and realized the rest of my window was breaking off, piece-by-piece, and flying into the car. It was in no shape to go anywhere. I was worried for my own safety driving anywhere with pieces of glass flying around the inside of the car. No good.

Bridal show in Knoxville
I have seen a few ads on billboards around town for a bridal show this weekend, so I decided to check it out online. It is marketed as the largest and best show in the area. I've obviously not been, so I can't speak to how it will be. But, I plan on heading down.
For more information from the source, visit: KnoxvillePremierBride.com
I've never been to a bridal show, it sounds like fun to me. I'm excited. Even though I have no plans set for our wedding yet, just getting to go to a bridal show gets me excited for my own wedding.
Hopefully we will see some things at the show that will catch our eye or seem like good ideas. If not, it's still a step towards looking into wedding plans.
Maybe this will put at bay those who are saying, "What's new with the wedding?" and us saying, "Nothing."

No traffic for me
One of the great things about working night shift is driving home after 1 am.
I don't have to deal with the other crazies out on the road and combatting traffic just to get where I am going. And, I am usually here before the 5 pm rush hour starts, so it's good in both directions.
I am not patient in traffic; I get antsy and nervous. Driving is not my favorite thing, either. I do it because I have to get from A to B. I am paranoid about getting hit by the semis that seem to think they rule Knoxville's roads. Yes, you do have an abnormally high amount of them and they all seem to want in front of me in my lane, whichever that may be.
Whenever possible, I get pleased at the little things in life.
Being able to get from the Sentinel to the far edge of Fountain City in around 10 minutes makes me happy. In traffic, that's taken me MUCH longer.
One in the morning does have some perks.

On parents ...
Even though I realized this a while back, I think the proverbial light bulb has really clicked lately since I'm soon to be married.
One of the most difficult aspects of truly becoming an adult is getting past the young adult stage of wanting independence for independence's sake. It is realizing that your parents, even if they have not had the same life's experiences as you or don't have the same degrees that you do, are 100 times smarter than you will ever be.
The next stage, which I feel like I have been hovering along the edge of for a bit now, is gleaning every morsel you can from them. I don't mean money, I mean advise and help.

90 degree November

Shoppers were like flies to you-know-what.

Former Creekside principal Tracey Sahouri has reached a settlement agreement with her lawsuit filed in January against Argentine Township and Officer Arch Ravert of the Argentine Police Department, according to court records from the Genesee County Circuit Court.
The Press and Argus reports that Sahouri will receive a $150,000 settlement, which she calls a "vindication," according to the story.
In July, 2011, Sahouri and her husband were ticketed for knowingly hosting a graduation party with underage drinking. The charges were dismissed in December with Sahouri filing a lawsuit shortly after claiming the charges were detrimental to her career and reputation.
Sahouri also has a lawsuit against, route: {:controller=>"articles", :action=>"show", :id=>"tracey-sahour"} --> Hartland Consolidated Schools claiming they violated the Whistleblower Protection Act. In April, the Hartland school board voted

LETTER: Play clubs are planning for the future, not closing
12:40pm Monday 25th June 2012 in News
Your inaccurate article about Lambeth's Stay and Play One O'Clock clubs (Union unveils proposals to save popular kids clubs, June 14) will have led to a great deal of unnecessary concern among parents and carers.
The council is not closing these centres as your article states.
In fact the picture you paint could not be more misleading – instead we have really exciting plans for youth and play services, that involve giving people a much greater say in running them as part of the co-operative council.
As part of that process we have been inviting applications and expressions of interest from a range of community and voluntary organisations to become involved in running One O' Clock Clubs and we welcome the application from the union and staff, which your piece highlighted.
It will be judged by the same criteria as the other applications.
The plans that have been put forward by staff are entirely in line with our hopes for our One O'Clock clubs.
However, the service will have to be delivered with the funding that is available.
We will be making a decision very soon so that we can move into this new way of providing a much-valued service to our residents.
It is a shame that this article will have left many of your readers with a wholly wrong impression about the future of these much-loved centres.
Councillor Rachel Heywood, cabinet member for children and families

The Bergen County Police Chiefs Association held a memorial service at the Tuesday commemorating those lives lost in the terrorist attacks on the 11th anniversary of September 11.
Police Chiefs, ranked officers, police officers and members of the public gathered before the memorial that was originally dedicated by the Chiefs on September 11, 2002, while members of the Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County played.
According to Cliffside Park Police Chief Donald Keane, who serves as the 1st Vice President of the Chiefs Association, the Chiefs Association wanted to dedicate a memorial where it would be seen by everyone and not just those in emergency services.
"There's a memorial at the Law and Public Safety Institute in Mahwah, but the Garden State Plaza is the crossroads of Bergen County," Keane said. "We hope that everyone who passes this memorial will take a moment to reflect on the events of that day and honor those who lost their lives everyday, and not just once a year on the anniversary."
For New Milford Police Chief Frank Papapietro, September 11 is a day that can never be forgotten. "We remember so much because there's so much we can't forget."

The HMS Victory Set is inspired by King George III and the royal court
One watch maker which is making strong waves in the world of haute horologie, is Arnold & Son, who have introduced several new timepieces by replicating history in their own unique way. The recent spate of luxury watches from them include the Royal Collection, Time pyramid, the Instrument collection and DBS watch. Now inspired by the watches created by John Arnold for King George III, The HMS Victory Set is now on the horizon to be admired by the brand's collectors. Showcasing their usual mastery of engraving with surreal accuracy, the series has sets of 3 watches. The total number of these sets will be limited to just 28 in all.
The HMS Victory is known to be one of the most famous British ships during the era of the monarchy at its peak. The ship is known to have participated in historic wars such as the French Revolutionary war, the American war of Independence and the Battle of Trafalgar over a span of over 40 years. Now the history of the ship is being documented in part atleast, in the intricately worked watch series called HMS Victory Set. The 3 watches will be display 3 historic scenes from the past. The first one would show sunlight breaking through the clouds, the second shows the HMS Victory firing away and capturing the French Fleet of ships, and the 3rd shows a shot of the interior of the ship with a gun-deck in sight.
Technically speaking, the watches will be powered with the help of the company developed A&S 1001 movement which is a hand wound mechanical movement with 21 jewels, with a power reserve of 80 hours and a beating rate of 21,600 vibrations an hour. Decorations within the casing include the nickel-silver movement, rhodium treated with Haute Horlogerie finishing: manually chamfered bridges with polished edges, fine circular graining and Côtes de Genève rayonnantes, blued screws. The casing itself is an 18K rose gold structure, which is 40 mm wide, and protected by anti-reflective sapphire crystal coating. The strapping is stitched brown or black alligator leather.
Thanks Lisa!

Improvements, survey may be keys to airport's new regional initiative
By BILL MARDIS, Editor Emeritus
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
The runway at Lake Cumberland Regional Airport will close for up to seven days during early October to facilitate a $300,000 runway improvement project, according to airport manager Kellie Baker.
Baker said at this point she can't say exactly what days the runway will be closed but it will be done during the upgrading project. Funded with a state grant, the upgrading includes filling cracks, sealing the surface and marking the pavement.
The airport's other services, including landing areas for helicopters used by local and regional businesses, will remain open.
Also, a study will be done to determine if buildings, billboards or trees obstruct the runway. This study, coordinated by Stantec, the airports engineering firm, will be financed by a $75,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.
"The obstruction study must be completed before the leaves fall," Baker said.
J.T. Wilson Field runway is 5,800 feet, about as long as it can be at its location. The runway can't be extended toward the west because of U.S. 27, and on the east end toward Ferguson there is a big drop-off.
An Instrument Landing System (ILS) provides lateral and vertical guidance necessary to fly a precision approach. The $3 million, spacious, glass-bedecked terminal is an added attraction when a plane and its passengers touch down.
Meantime, it may be two or three weeks before results are known from a survey to determine if this area can support commuter airline service.
"We know we've had a good response to the survey," said Martin Shearer, executive director of Somerset-Pulaski County Development Foundation. "The responses must be tabulated and analyzed before we get the results."
Shearer is high on the potential of the local airport. He believes the region needs commercial airline service and is continuing to spearhead an effort to reestablish commuter service between the local airport and a major airline hub.
The renewed regional initiative has set two strategic goals:
• Recruit a regional airline that is aligned with a major carrier such as American, Delta or US Airways.
• Establish service to a major connecting hub.
In summary, the survey wants to know "If a major airline provides service from Somerset to a major connecting hub with reasonable fares, will you and your company use the service?" This is what commercial airline services want to know.
"We're surveying mainly with printed forms ... distributed among chambers and business organizations in the region," said Bobby Clue, executive director of Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce. "Airlines are not interested unless they have statistics," he emphasized.
A Florida-based commuter airline operated out of Lake Cumberland Regional Airport, first to Nashville and then to Washington, D.C., for a little more than two years. It was subsidized with about $900,000 obtained by Congressman Hal Rogers from the U.S. Department of Transportation and $100,000 in local matching funds. No sustaining local source of funding developed before the federal funds were exhausted and the airline shut down February 19, 2010.
As part of its efforts to restore air service at Lake Cumberland Regional, the development foundation retained Louisville-based consulting firm L.B. Schmidt & Associates, LLC, to assist in the effort. The consulting firm updated the market profile, which recognizes the airport will serve 15 Kentucky counties with a combined population of 384,000 people. Luke B. Schmidt is consultant to the foundation.
Shearer said the development foundation's efforts to recruit a commuter airline service is part of a broader effort by Somerset-Pulaski Convention & Visitors Bureau, airport board and city and county governments. "We're just spearheading it ... we're happy to do it," Shearer said.
Lake Cumberland Regional Airport is jointly owned by Somerset and Pulaski County. It is operated by an airport board chaired by Don Bandy. Members are John Tuttle, Richard Vanhook, Delynn Gibson, David Morris and John Hicks.
The airport operation is financed with a 2 percent allocation from the county's 1 cent occupational tax, amounting to about $150,000 a year, according to Baker.

You work very hard to develop, test, and market your Windows Mobile application. Failing Windows Marketplace for Mobile certification testing can be a frustrating experience, but it doesn't have to be. Failing certification costs a submission credit (or another $99 if you have exhausted your initial five credits), you have to correct and resubmit your application – likely not what you planned. In this post, we'll cover a few tips that should help you increase the first time pass rate and have your application published to the Marketplace sooner.
As a Windows Marketplace for Mobile developer, you are notified via email when the Application Submission Requirements for Windows Marketplace for Mobile is updated. You can also check the Windows Marketplace for Mobile forum for important announcements including the availability of new requirements. You may be surprised the number of developers that attempt to pass certification testing without understanding the requirements. If you have any questions regarding the requirements, please post them in the very active Windows Marketplace for Mobile forum.
From the requirements document:
1.17. Hopper Test The application must complete two hours of Microsoft's Hopper test without exhibiting unpredictable behavior, hanging or crashing.
1.17. Hopper Test The application must complete two hours of Microsoft's Hopper test without exhibiting unpredictable behavior, hanging or crashing.
The more you run Hopper, the more confidence you will have in passing this requirement. While the requirement calls for two hours, a good benchmark is the number of hours your app runs without problems. Use this as a development metric. There is no reason your application can't run for 20 hours or more. A suggested practice is to let your application run overnight and check it in the morning when coming into work. Ideally, Hopper and your app will still be running!
There are separate versions of Hopper for Standard and Professional. Make sure you are using the correct one for the device / emulator you are testing against. Also Hopper has been updated to support Windows Mobile 6.5. The correct version of Hopper can be downloaded here.
Hopper is brain dead stupid. That is no knock against this stress testing tool. Hopper simply 'taps' and 'types' randomly into your application. It will stress your application like no user would in the real-world. It is great for exposing bugs that are not found during normal ad hoc testing. To ensure the device or your application is not hanging, it periodically pulls down the Start screen. It does not know anything about your application, in fact you have to artificially 'force' Hopper to tap and type into your application. This is done via a Focus Application. The focus application periodically (the default is every 10 seconds), forces your application into the foreground. As a developer, you need to customize the Focus App for your application, changing the string constant that references to your EXE name and path. Starting Hopper and the Focus app (you don't need to explicitly start your application, it will be started by the Focus App) can be tricky, since Hopper immediately starts tapping and typing when started, making it difficult to navigate to start the Focus App. There are a couple of solutions to this:
Note that Hopper is a stress tool and as such, your application may crash during a Hopper run. This is a good thing in that Hopper is doing its job stressing your app. It is a good practice to run your application under the Visual Studio debugger when running Hopper. Especially when you are early in the development cycle. This way when your app crashes, the debugger will stop exactly where the crash is occurring. You can also inspect the state of your app to help determine the cause of the crash.
One of the more common Hopper failures (log files are stored in \testlog\hopper.log) is 'Start menu dead'. See here for a good explanation and possible causes of this failure: Hopper: Start Menu Dead!. The Hopper blog is also a good source for tips on running Hopper; however the content is skewed more towards OEMs.
From the requirements document:
1.13. Multiple Device Support Developers must identify the required device functionality during the Windows Marketplace submission process. Applications must have the ability to run on multiple Windows Mobile device platforms, for example, multiple Standard or multiple Professional devices. Although not recommended, applications can support a limited number of Windows Mobile devices.
1.13. Multiple Device Support Developers must identify the required device functionality during the Windows Marketplace submission process. Applications must have the ability to run on multiple Windows Mobile device platforms, for example, multiple Standard or multiple Professional devices. Although not recommended, applications can support a limited number of Windows Mobile devices.
While not previously stated explicitly, this requirement also includes the proper handling of screen rotation. Just about every Windows Mobile Professional device now supports dynamic rotation. Typically this is triggered when sliding out an on-device keyboard or titling the device.
The Adapt Your App section in the Windows Mobile Developer center is a great resource for information on how to ensure your application properly adapts to different screen orientations, sizes, and DPIs.
When changing orientation the OS will send your application a size event. Make sure you are taking action on this event: OnSize (if a managed) or WM_SIZE (for native code). For example, you may need to reposition some of your user interface elements. For a great in-depth article on this topic, check out: Adaptable Apps For Windows Mobile.
Take advantage of the plethora of emulators that are included with the SDKs / DTKs. The emulators support screen rotation (press the Calendar button) and come in multiple DPI and screen sizes. See here for a blog post on how to automate this process: PowerShell and Quick UI Check for WM Applications. Best case is to test on at least one device that ships in-market as some scenarios are difficult to test sufficiently within the emulator.
Hopefully these tips will help you avoid certification testing failures, if you need help with your specific test failure, use the Support link in the developer dashboard to create an email support request. Just be sure to include all identifying information regarding your application including the product id. The Marketplace certification team will respond within 48-business hours.

Fantastic reflection!
industrial night out;)
Yes, the reflection is great. I also like this setup more than the one with the crane pulley lined up with the building on the left. The building connects more with the rest of the ground. This is a fun place to shoot!
