We didn't have much time to pack. I grabbed our passports, my only decent suit, my best pair of black shoes and a couple of changes of clothes. We received word that my maternal grandmother had passed away. Attending the services meant jumping in our car and heading from our home (in Maine at the time) to Logan Airport for the overnight flight to Ireland.
Separated by the Atlantic Ocean, I didn't get to spend a vast amounts of time with my grandparents as a kid. However, because of their good health and longevity (all four lived into their 90's) I felt blessed to be able to share incredible quality experiences with them as a young adult.
In the funerals I have attended in Ireland, the procession from the church to the cemetery has occurred on foot. This allows for a collective solemnity among the mourners. It was during this walk that I recalled all the traits I admired in my grandmother. She adored my wife and she was incredibly kind to us when we would visit. She was tough, funny, caring, abundantly generous, and at times she could be very stubborn.
If I asked you to imagine the weather for an autumn funeral in Ireland I am sure you can picture it in your head. It was cool, it was dreary, and light steady rain meant that black umbrellas formed a canopy over the procession as we slowly made our way through the streets of my parent's hometown to the peaceful cemetery on the edge of town.
Because of the steady rainfall, the earth at the gravesite was now a deep red clay, unlike the soil I am accustomed to here. My black shoes became rusty brown above the soles. The weather didn't matter. We said goodbye and honored my grandmother for a life well lived that day.
Within a year after the funeral a lot would change in our lives. I would have a new job, we would move to a new home, and we would be parents to a baby daughter (who shares the same name as my grandmother).
On my first day at my new job I took the same black shoes out of the closet. I hadn't worn them since the funeral. I took a cloth and did my best to remove the dirt that had travelled back overseas with me. The red clay had formed a sort of plaster around the soles. I decided I would leave the small amount that had collected around the entire edge where the upper and sole of the shoes met. It would be a personal reminder for me about my roots, where I had come from and where I had been.
What I came to learn that whether I wanted to or not, the clay was not going to separate itself from my shoes. Not ever. Even when shined by a professional, that clay would hold its ground, just like my grandmother.
The shoes wore out before the clay did. They served me admirably for many years. They lie somewhere in the back of my closet with that stubborn clay still embedded in the soles. I don't need them as a reminder of my heritage anymore. I only need to look in the sparkling eyes of my daughters.

Seems every time lately when I've been channel-surfing, I end up catching videos by that godawful rawk band Nickelback on C4 or JuiceTV (not a problem I've encountered with Alt TV so far!). I've tried to watch them but they are just so bloody awful - no melody, no talent, no joy, nothing reedeeming whatsoever. Here's one Nickelback video worth watching - the band getting rocks thrown at them at a gig in Portugal, so they walk off after two songs. Boo hoo.
ADDED: FFD Chart Watch
Been a while since I checked on this, and lookee, last week Fat Freddy's Drop were #3, this week, they return to #1! Congrats all round, on this 3Xplatinum-selling album.
Mu from Fat Freddy's Drop is currently in Seattle, as a guest lecturer at the Red Bull DJ Academy (Toby Laing from FFD tagged along too) - see Mu's workshop on video here.
Plus, reading for extra credit - notes on Mu's coffee-making skills here... "Mu commented, there isn't a DJ or music maker in Wellington who hasn't been a barista at some point in their career."
random downloads... mashups...
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings live in studio, on Minnesota Public Radio (scroll down)
via Boingboing... "Me and This Army" is a collection of 16 Radiohead tracks remixed with snippets of artists such as MF Doom, Jurassic 5, De La Soul, and more. It's as if the white label gods planted sensors inside my brain; they heard my innermost mashup prayers, and answered them here. Now all it needs is some remixed Stanley Donwood cover art... Link to info, tracklisting, and torrent.
and Q Unit: Queen vs 50 Cent. Bleh. (tip of the hat to Richard)
"What happens when you mix Queen and 50 Cent together? You get Q-Unit. Oh geez. This is going to rile half of my friends, and make others go off the rail. Go here to download the album, and get high quality cover art (of above) also."

I've never seen a kit for this, I guess you could buy the part from Audi and you may have to make or adapt a wiring loom. I googled around and came up with this, it got good reviews on an A2 forum.

Thanks to FragranceX.com I found my favorite eau de toilette, after a year of looking for in several stores in town. The tracking of the order was very accurate, and I even received a e-mail with the exact date of the delivery. I also like to thank them to be a sponsor of "Music of Your Life" network that plays the best music ever recorded.

My husband, now an old man, but still enthusiastically going in for sports such as skiing, mountain climbing and trekking in the big mountains of our world has a rather conservative taste concerning his cosmetics. For decades he has preferred Old Spice as his favourite fragrance, but during the last 20 years this brand was rarely and more rarely available in Austria and our neighbour countries. So I was glad I could find it in your sortiment and bought it for him. He was very happy because he says he can use it for any occasion, also for the theatre and other evening events. I also must admit, I like this pleasant mixture of scents of flowers, other plants and exotic spices very much. Recently a young visitor of ours who could easily be our grandson tried this fragrance from my husband's bottle and wants to use it in the future. So I recommended him your enterprise. We hope you will get a new customer!

After hearing the case against Brad Keith, justice was not served. Gross negligent use of a firearm includes high risk of death or great bodily injury. The gun was shot away from the accuser into acres of wilderness on private property. The blurry photos and oral descriptions were poor evidence. It was reasonable to expect no one behind Keith's house was at risk of being shot.
Under Penal Code 246.3 PC, Keith should have been acquitted because he reasonably feared that he and his wife were in imminent danger. Unfortunately, the jury was not afforded the evidence proving his innocence. Individuals refuting the accuser's and sheriff's testimonies were not allowed to speak.
The judge showed herself to be biased against Keith. The prosecutor presented a dishonest accuser. The defense attorney was not ardent in his rebuttal of the people's case.
As a result, an innocent man is losing his teaching career, his business and his freedom. Keith rots in county jail, run by the same sheriff that would not protect him from the terrible neighbor in the first place.

RALEIGH — N.C. State All-American Carlos Rodon is the face of college baseball, a bulldog in throwback stirrups widely projected to be the first player taken in the June draft.
But theres more to the junior from nearby Holly Springs than throwing 96-mph fastballs past college and international hitters.
Theres fishing, for instance. Baseball America doesnt rank such tools, but it wouldnt surprise anybody who knows him if Rodon has the best casting command in the country, too.
The Wolfpacks ace recently sat down to discuss that and more, breaking into a smile after learning topics would include more than just the welfare of his wildly popular left arm.
Great, Rodon said, before rattling off questions he normally answers. Hows your arm? Hows your slider? Hows your two-seamer? ...
He had no idea, however, hed spend so much time discussing Marlin (his prized clown fish), Jameis Winston (doesnt really remember facing him), his dream position at N.C. State (keep reading) and his favorite fishing spot (youd have better luck trying to hit his fastball than finding it).
But any conversation with Rodon starts with Omaha. Saturday, he and the Wolfpack will get another shot at defending College World Series champion UCLA, which helped eliminate the Wolfpack last June, one seasons ending fueling this seasons goals.
Question: Almost a year ago, you and Trea Turner took a preseason photo for Baseball America about reaching the College World Series in Omaha. Then you did it. When you look at that photo, what are your memories?
Rodon: Storybook, Id say. Couldnt write it out any better than that. Especially against Carolina. It was surreal. Seeing them three months before, I couldnt have told you that were going to play you in the first game in Omaha, but it ended up happening that way. It was a great time.
Q: You came close last year. How much has getting back motivated you?
Rodon: Oh, yeah. Anything less than that is failure. We dont make it to Omaha and its not a successful season.
Q: Thats a narrow margin of error. You guys have embraced that?
Rodon: Thats what Ive embraced, and Im pretty sure all my teammates have embraced the same thing.
Q: We pay attention to you on Twitter. Clearly you have some fun. When does that change, the playful kid to the beast mode guy throwing 96?
Rodon: Definitely when you step between those lines ... it makes you into a different person, for sure. Its just game day. People tell me, you seem different. Just not a nice guy. Put it that way. Real serious. I dont want to talk to anyone. Just try to get in a zone. But thats the way its always been, though, even in high school.
I dont know how I get in that mode. I just change. And I just want to win so bad.
Q: Youre a big guy (6-foot-3, 234 pounds). Im assuming you hit your share of home runs in youth leagues, high school?
Rodon: Yeah, I hit some home runs in high school. Sophomore year (at Holly Springs), a down year in pitching, I hit four. I was an all right hitter, I guess. I wasnt a bad hitter. I just wasnt developed like these guys on our team that really can hit. Theyre just on a different level. I just wasnt there.
Q: So whats a cooler feeling: Hitting a home run or striking out 10?
Rodon: I would say hitting a home run. (He laughs). Chicks dig the long ball.
Q: Better arm, you or Russell?
Rodon: Russell Wilson?
Q: Yeah.
Rodon: Really?
Q: Yeah, better arm, whos got it?
Rodon: I think I do.
Q: What about throwing a football?
Rodon: I think it might be close actually.
Q: How far can you throw it?
Rodon: I havent really tried it in a while, but Ive always been able to throw a football pretty well. I might have the arm strength, but hes an amazing quarterback.
Q: Hitters get walk-up songs. Closers get them. Starters rarely do. What would be yours?
Rodon: We actually do get a walk-up song here, first inning. Not sure yet. Were still trying to figure that out.
Q: You going country?
Rodon: No, were not going country. Were more of a soul-ly, R&B, kind of slow song.
Q: To lull the hitters into the 96?
Rodon: (Laughing) Yeah, catch them off guard.
Q: Saw on Twitter where you bought a nice fish tank. Any symbolism there, considering youre pretty much living in one?
Rodon: (More laughter). I never really thought about it that way. Leave it up to the writers to think about it that way, but no, Ive always liked fishing. My dad used to have them all the time. Its just something thats just a hobby that Ive always done and I just love doing it.
Q: You watch the show Tanked?
Rodon: Yeah, I do watch that show. Thats a cool show.
Q: Is a high-end specialty tank going to be the first purchase with the signing bonus?
Rodon: Maybe in a couple of years from now, who knows, if everything goes right.
Q: Do you name your fish?
Rodon: Yeah, actually I do have some names for some of them. I actually have a clam. I have names for everything. My girlfriend names them, usually. I have one black clown fish and his name is Marlin. I used to have a lot of other fish names, but they all passed away. Ive had Marlin for two years.
(Rodon takes out his phone and proudly shows off a photo of Clammy, his pet clam.)
Q:You get an off day, no obligations, completely free day, what are you doing?
Rodon: Probably fishing.
Q: Got a spot?
Rodon: I got a lot of spots, and I dont give them up.
Q: What was your role in Brett Austins twerking video? Did you have a role?
Rodon: (Long pause.) Oh, I did not have a role in that Vine. I did not have any sort of role in that Vine, and I am glad I did not.
Q: Did you coach him up afterward?
Rodon: No. I thought it was, um, interesting.
Q: Baseball question: Pitchers have to evolve. Whats different this year?
Rodon: Last year it was all two-seam (fastballs). Now Ive been throwing four-seams in, two-seams away, getting that run. Changeup ...
Q: You went 10-3 with a school-record 184 strikeouts, dominated late in the season, got to Omaha. How can you possibly be better this year?
Rodon: Just me? I mean, you can get better at everything. Nobodys perfect. Ive been working on the changeup. Just to have another pitch in your arsenal. Just really getting comfortable with it. ... My goal is to win every time I get out there. So if I dont win every time, then Im not the best I can be. Clearly.
Q: How many times have you asked coach Elliott Avent to let you pitch that mid-week game against North Carolina?
Rodon: Actually, I have not asked him. Im interested to see who they pitch and who we pitch. I can assure you its not going to be me.
Q: Its one thing to be the face of N.C. State baseball. But youre the face of Team USA. Whats that like?
Rodon: Always great representing your country. My freshman year I had the pleasure of going to Cuba, and Im of Cuban descent, so it was a cool experience. Americans dont get to go back to Cuba, and my dad definitely wont go back to Cuba. Or my grandfather. They dont want to go. But it was a great opportunity. It was a beautiful place. The Cuban people are amazing people. ...
Ive had some really neat experiences with USA, and theres nothing like it, when we played in Durham and had that great showing when we played Cuba. Theres some emotions there ... same thing with (facing) Japan.
Q: The 2011 draft didnt exactly go as planned. You were taken a little later than many thought (16th round, Milwaukee), the money wasnt quite right, etc. How much does that draft day still motivate you?
Rodon: I thought I was a good player, but you never know in that situation as a high school ballplayer. You could get drafted in the first round or the 45th round, you never know. It was definite motivation. I used it to make me better. I thought I was better than that. Luckily it ended up in a good way. Im glad Im at N.C. State and had all of these opportunities to make myself better.
Q: Could you step into a major league rotation and help somebody in August?
Rodon: Thats a tough question, but, yeah, I believe so. I believe I could do it right now.
Q: Looking forward to getting another shot at Jameis Winston?
Rodon: Yeah, hes a good ballplayer, I guess. Hes a better football player. Just real raw talent. Should be fun to face the Heisman Trophy-slash-national champion. ... I just remember the guys that will get me. I really dont remember his at-bats against me. But Ive seen him pitch before and thats something else to watch. Thats something to see.
Q: Pat Burrell was the No. 1 pick in the 1998 draft. He always wanted to pitch, and his coach promised him he could start the 1999 season opener, knowing hed be gone. What could Elliott do to bring you back for your senior year?
Rodon: (Immediate laughter.) Play center field. Probably something like that. Hit second or third.
Q: In the ACC, weve had some great pitchers come through here, No. 1 picks like Paul Wilson, Kris Benson, guys like Matt Harvey. How important is it for you to join that rotation?
Rodon: Thats a pretty prestigious list. To be on a list with Matt Harvey would be pretty cool, but really, I couldnt care less.
I want to be on the list that we won the College World Series. Thats the list I want to be on.

Watch Sara Benincasa & Andrew Breitbart Live at the BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2011
In case you haven't noticed, life can be kind of weird sometimes.
Like, for example, one day, you might go to the store to buy green salsa for the enchiladas you're planning to make for dinner, and then when you get to the register it turns out you have the exact amount of money that the salsa costs (with tax) in your pockets.
And, on another day, you wind up as a guest on BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2011's live talk show alongside Andrew Breitbart.
Such is the life of our own Sara Benincasa.
Witness it for yourself live after the jump…The live stream is over. If I find video of the show, I'll stick it up here.

We have good players that love baseball and work as a team and do want ever is asked of them to get the job done. I have never been so proud of a group of players as I am today," Coach Kevin Clements said after the tournament.

SGA Constitution Table of Contents
SGA Preamble/Mission
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the academic community, students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities in the classroom, on the campus and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility.
The responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions conducive to the freedom to learn is shared by all members of the academic community. Each college and university has a duty to develop policies and procedures, which provide and safeguard this freedom. Such policies and procedures should be developed at each institution within the framework of general standards and with the broadest possible participation of the members of the academic community.
Agreeing with this statement by the Joint Commission on the Rights and Freedoms of Students, Marywood University sets forth the procedures, rights, responsibilities, and guidelines outlined in this handbook as indispensable for achieving the goals desired: freedom to teach, to learn, and to search for truth.

6 Family-Friendly Ways to Enjoy the High Sierra
When daily life gets swamped with work and school it can be hard to really connect with the family, even more so in a world of iPods, video games and television. The perfect family vacation takes everyone out of that busy, high-tech world and gets them out into great outdoors. Mammoth Lakes is ideal for getting the kids out and active in the gorgeous setting of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. Whether it's for a family ski trip in the middle of winter, or for a summer getaway in the California sunshine, Mammoth has lots of ways to play together and experience this magnificent wilderness.
Hit the Hills
- Do: Go skiing or snowboarding
- Why: Nine terrain parks and over 150 great trails of some of the best skiing and boarding in California – not to mention more than 400 inches of snowfall and 300 days of sunshine every year.
- Kid Friendly Because: A quarter of the ski runs are beginner level, there's a great beginner snow park and there are lots of ski lessons available for every age and skill set from ages three and up.
Mammoth Mountain is the tallest ski hill in California, and one of the most popular - It's one of our Best Ski Areas for Groups. There are so many trails that families can spend days on the slopes and still not hit them all. Mammoth has a wide variety of classes available for skiers and boarders of every age. Teens can learn new snowboarding tricks in the Stormrider Teen Sessions, the Little Pioneers group lessons teach three and four year olds the basic ski skills, and there are all kinds of lessons for every age in between.
There is child care available right in the Main Lodge, as well as combination ski school and child care packages if a full day on the hills is too much for the little ones. At the end of the day, head to Main Lodge, Eagle Lodge, or the Village, where there are numerous family friendly dining options as well as places for Mom and Dad to grab a refreshing drink.
Play in the Snow
- Do: Go tubing or play in the snow at Woolly's Adventure Summit.
- Why: Every kid loves rushing downhill on a snow-tube.
- Kid Friendly Because: There are fun snow activities here for kids of every age, from the smallest toddler to the biggest thrill-seeking teen.
Tickets are available for two hours or a whole day, and there are free buses back and forth from the parking lot at the Village at Mammoth Mountain. Woolly's Adventure Summit is right on Minaret Road, about halfway between the Village at Mammoth and the Main Lodge.
Explore the Backcountry…on a Horse!
- Do: Go horseback riding
- Why: It's the perfect way to enjoy breathtaking scenery without the kids complaining that their feet are tired.
- Kid Friendly Because: There are a wide variety of horseback riding adventures available, from one-hour excursions to full-day treks, and it lets kids feel like a real cowboy!
Several outfitting companies around Mammoth Lakes offer horseback riding trips into this stunning wilderness. You can get a taste of beauty on a one or two hour ride, or have an adventure with half-day and full day trips that bring visitors out to see old abandoned gold mines, sparkling lakes and rugged canyons. Two-hour trips are good for smaller kids, and include a guided visit to Convict Lake and McGee Canyon.
Sierra Meadows Ranch is popular for everything from one-hour horseback rides to all-day trips, and Mammoth Lakes Pack Outfit is great for trips into the Inyo National Forest and John Muir Wilderness that range from an hour to a week long.
Go Geo-Caching
- Do: A high-tech treasure hunt with your kids
- Why: Geo-caching combines the latest technology of GPS with all the adventures of a great outdoor treasure hunt. It's the perfect activity for older kids and teens who may need a little convincing that time in the great outdoors can be high-tech and cool.
- Kid Friendly Because: The kids get to run around, use tech gadgets and find cool surprises...and what kid doesn't love a treasure hunt?
Right now, all over the Earth, in more than 220 countries, there are small waterproof containers hidden in hundreds of thousands of places, each one containing some small toys or trinkets or souvenirs. These boxes are called geocaches, and the idea of geocaching is that that anyone with a GPS can look up coordinates on the internet and set out to find these treasures. Once they are found, the geocachers can take the treasures in exchange leaving behind something of their own for the next person to find.
There are 55 geocache sites all around Mammoth Lakes, near trails, on the mountain or near historic attractions. There are all kinds of websites dedicated to geocaching with all the information to get started, and anyone with a GPS is free to take part.
Go for a Hike
- Do: Hit the trails for a nice walk with the kids.
- Why: There are hundreds of trails up Mammoth Mountain and around Mammoth Lakes, and each one offers a chance for families to get up close and personal with fields, flowers and animals.
- Kid-Friendly Because: It's is a refreshing activity for everyone from restless teens to curious youngsters to babies in baby carriers – and it's healthy and free.
There are challenging trails for older kids and easy one-hour loops for a slow strolls with toddlers. The Mammoth Mountain Trail is a three hour hike for older kids who want exercise and excellent views of the San Joaquin Valley, and the Panorama Dome is an easy one-mile hike for the kids that also has a nice valley view. Serous hikers can organize guided hiking trips with many of the same organizations that offer horseback riding trips. Trail maps are available online, at the Main Lodge, or at the ranger station. Pack snacks and be sure to bring water for a perfect day absorbing the beautiful outdoors.
Encourage a Little Shutterbug
- Do: Teach the kids how to use a camera and let them loose outside.

SEATTLE -- In my continued search to find the best websites and deals to save you time and money, today we have a wakeup call for renters.
Apartment rental rates are on the rise throughout Western Washington and finding a reasonable one is no easy feat. Today one website helps you determine whether a rent offer is fair and it's all based on your zip code.
Since I first tested Rent-O-Meter three years ago, and three leases later, it's grown as a website with new features and some impressive awards.
Today we're taking a look at two great purposes the site serves. It's simple: Enter your address, how much you're paying in rent and you'll know in a matter of seconds whether or not you're getting a good deal.
The site could also give a landlord a better idea of where their requested rent stands in relation to the surrounding area.
Is the website perfect? No. It's thrown off in some cases if a very high-end apartment building is right next door to a lower-income area.
I would not base all decisions on this website's results (or any website for that matter), but this is a great tool and resource -- especially if your lease is up or you're new to a neighborhood.
In my experience, I also found it helpful to print the statistical analysis from Rent-O-Meter and have that accompany me on my visit to a leasing office before re-signing a lease. It helped me shave $100 per month off my last lease.
You might find you're getting a great deal or you might find that you're paying way too much.
There's nothing to sign up for and it's fast and completely free to use.

From georgiadogs.com: "LOUISVILLE, Ky. --- Georgia senior cornerback/return specialist Brandon Boykin was honored at the Paul Hornung Award banquet in Louisville, Ky., on Thursday night for being the nation's most versatile player." THE NATION'S MOST VERSATILE PLAYER. And just two years ago our secondary was considered horrible. This is a huge achievement. Boykin is also the only player in SEC history with three 100-yard plays of any kind. AMAZING! In all my years of football, what Boykin did in his final game stands out as one of the most special games I have ever witnessed. Congrats Mr. Boykin, you will be missed.
I really hope this isn't true. I was wondering why Boykin was largely absent during the Senior Bowl.

BARBERTON: Bond was set at $2 million Friday for a man investigators say killed a prominent couple with a sledgehammer inside their New Franklin home.
Shawn E. Ford Jr., 18, made an initial appearance before Municipal Judge David Fish, who read a long list of charges in the case, including two counts of aggravated murder.
Ford is accused of bludgeoning Jeffrey Schobert, 56, and his wife, Margaret "Peg" Schobert, 59, to death early Tuesday in the master bedroom of their Rex Lake Drive home.
A construction worker, among a crew doing a remodeling job at the home, found the bodies about 2:20 p.m. Tuesday.
Later Friday, prosecutors also charged Ford with felonious assault in the March 23 attack on Chelsea Schobert, 18, a daughter of the couple. He is scheduled to appear by video at 8 a.m. today for a hearing in that case.
Police have said Ford was Chelsea Schobert's boyfriend.
Akron prosecutors on Thursday dismissed a similar felonious-assault charge filed against Jamayne Ruiz, 24, in connection with the violent attack on Chelsea Schobert, which included a serious head injury when she was beaten and stabbed repeatedly.
Ruiz had been in Summit County Jail since his arrest March 26. He was freed from custody about 6 p.m. Thursday.
Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards said the collaborative effort between Akron and New Franklin police in the homicide investigation led them to charge Ford and drop the charges against Ruiz in the assault case.
"Ruiz was identified by witnesses and the suspect when [Ruiz] was charged, and we have since learned that Shawn Ford is the suspect," Edwards said.
Prosecutors dropped the charges against Ruiz "with prejudice," which means he cannot be charged for that offense again.
What Chelsea Schobert told investigators in the aftermath of her attack, which occurred at a home on Andrus Street in Akron, is not known.
"I'm not going to comment on what she actually said to investigators," Edwards said.
Officials at Akron Children's Hospital, where Chelsea Schobert was taken after suffering the stab wounds and a skull fracture, have declined to acknowledge whether she remains there recovering from her wounds.
"I know she is coherent now and able to talk. Prior to that, I don't know," Edwards said Friday.
Suspect restrained
At his court appearance Friday morning, Ford told the judge he has no money and cannot afford an attorney. Fish said he will appoint one and set the next hearing in the case for 1 p.m. Wednesday.
For much of the time he was in the courtroom, Ford sat slumped on a wooden bench with his head in his hands. He was dressed in white-and-gray-striped jail clothing, and his hands and legs were restrained.
"This is one of the most brutal that I've seen," Holly Reese, assistant prosecutor for Barberton, said of the case. She said New Franklin police have put together a "solid case" and believes the Summit County Prosecutor's Office will not have a problem getting a conviction when Ford goes to trial.
"I believe there is probable cause for these charges," she said.
Fish later appointed Jonathan T. Sinn as the attorney of record in the aggravated murder case against Ford.
"I will be spending some time this weekend meeting with him and discussing how to proceed," Sinn said. "At this point, we don't have any information beyond what's out there in the press. But I will be evaluating the case as the investigation unfolds, deciding which direction to go."
Sinn declined to comment on the felonious assault case against Ford.
New Franklin Detective Mike Hitchings said the department is trying to determine if anyone else was involved in the slayings.
"It was a bad scene. It was a horrific scene," he said of the Schoberts' home.
"I don't like to judge anyone," Hitchings said. "It is a horrific crime. I don't know how anyone could do anything like that, but it did happen."

Buoyed by a powerful debate showing, Mitt Romney said Thursday he offers "prosperity that comes through freedom" to a country struggling to shed a weak economy. President Barack Obama accused the former Massachusetts governor of running from his own record in pursuit of political power.
Both men unleashed new attack ads in the battleground states in a race with little more than a month to run, Obama suggesting Romney couldn't be trusted with the presidency, and the Republican accusing the president of backing a large tax increase on the middle class.
The debate reached 67.2 million viewers, an increase of 28 percent over the first debate in the 2008 presidential campaign. The measurement and information company Nielsen said Thursday that 11 networks provided live coverage of the debate.
Not even Democrats disputed that Romney was likely to benefit politically from the debate Wednesday night in which he aggressively challenged Obama's stewardship of the economy and said his own plans would help pull the country out of a slow-growth rut. Still, there was no immediate indication that the race would expand beyond the nine battleground states where the rivals and their running mates spend nearly all of their campaign time and advertising dollars.
Debate host Colorado is one of them, and Virginia, where Romney headed for an evening speech, is another. So, too, Wisconsin, Obama's destination for a mid-day rally. Nevada, Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida and North Carolina are the others.
Among them, the nine states account for 110 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win the White House, more than enough to tip the campaign to one man or the other.
"Victory is in sight," Romney exulted in an emailed request for donations to supporters. It was a show of confidence by a man hoping for a quick reversal in pre-debate public opinion polls that showed him trailing in battleground states as well as nationally.
Reprising a line from the debate, he told an audience of conservatives in Denver that Obama offers "trickle-down government." He added, "I don't think that's what America believes in. I see instead a prosperity that comes through freedom."
Another possible pivot point in the campaign neared in the form of Friday's government report on unemployment for September. Joblessness was measured at 8.1. percent the previous month.
Obama campaigned with the energy of a man determined to make up for a subpar debate showing. Speaking to a crowd not far from the debate hall, he said mockingly that a "very spirited fellow" who stood next to him onstage Wednesday night "does not want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney's positions" on taxes, education and other issues. "Governor Romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be president you owe the American people the truth," he said.
Later, before a crowd of tens of thousands in Madison, Wis., he said Romney wants to cut federal funding for Public Television while repealing legislation that regulates the banking industry. "I just want to make sure I've got this straight: He'll get rid of regulations on Wall Street, but he's going to crack down on Sesame Street," Obama said.
Taxes were a particular point of contention between the two men, although they were sharply divided as well on steps the cut the deficit, on government regulation, on education and Medicare.
Both in the debate and on the day after, Obama said repeatedly that his rival favors a $5 trillion tax cut that is tilted to the wealthy and would mean tax increases on the middle class or else result in a spike in federal deficits.
Romney said it wasn't so, and counterattacked in a new television commercial. It cited a report by the American Enterprise Institute that said Obama and "his liberal allies" want to raise taxes on middle class earners by $4,000 and that the Republican alternative would not raise the amount they owe to the IRS.
Romney repeated the claim at an evening rally in Fishersville, Va. "He's going to raise taxes on the middle class," Romney charged, citing the $4,000 figure. "I don't want to raise taxes on anybody."
Romney has refused so far to disclose many of the details to support his assertion that his proposal would not lead to a tax cut. His ad was an attempt to parry a report by the Tax Policy Center that Obama has frequently tried used to political advantage, as he did again during the day.
In a new ad by the president's campaign, Romney is quoted as saying that a $5 trillion tax cut "is not my plan." The ad then cites a study by the Tax Policy Center as saying it is, and asks why the Republican challenger "won't level with us about his tax plan which gives the wealthy huge new tax breaks.
"Because if we can't trust him here" — a photo of the debate stage appears — "How could we ever trust him here," the narrator says as a photo of the Oval Office fills the screen.
The two men debate twice more this month, Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y. and Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla.
Before they do, Vice President Joe Biden and Romney's running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, will share a stage in Danville, Ky. in one week's time.
Biden plunged into the tax debate during the day, saying the administration does indeed want to increase the taxes paid by the wealthy by $1 trillion.
"We want to let that trillion-dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn't have to bear the burden of all that money going to the super wealthy," he said while campaigning in Iowa. "That's not a tax raise, that's called fairness where I come from."
Republicans didn't see it that way, and seized on the comment as evidence the administration's policies would kill jobs.
Whatever the eventual outcome of the race, Romney seemed to have achieved his goal of a campaign reset. Democrats braced for tightening polls over the next several days in the states where the campaign will be won or lost.
The head of one Republican-aligned independent group said all such organizations should consider expanding into states that have effectively been written off. "If we didn't get a home run, we certainly got a triple" from Romney's showing in the debate, said American Future Fund's founder Nick Ryan, who sided with Rick Santorum during the primaries.
Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod acknowledged in a conference call with reporters that an adjustment in strategy would be needed in the debates to come. "Obviously moving forward we're going to take a hard look at this, and we're going to have to make some judgments as to where to draw the line in these debates and how to use our time," Axelrod said.
Romney frequently interrupted both Obama and moderator Jim Lehrer of the Public Broadcasting Service during the 90-minute debate, sometimes talking over one or both of them to argue that the president's policies hadn't restored the economy, or alternatively, that the president was making false accusations about Republican proposals.
While both men prepared extensively for their first head-to-head encounter, Romney had the advantage of having taken part in 19 debates with his Republican rivals over the course of many months. He seemed to employ many of the techniques that he honed then, insisting on speaking time he claimed he was entitled to, for example, generally without seeming belligerent.
The president's last prior debate was four years ago, when he was running against Sen. John McCain.

A 'Bowling' sign still marks the entrance to The Arcade at Glenmont Shopping Center, where thousands of duckpin enthusiasts once spent many hours back in the 1950's and 1960's when bowling was a hugely popular sport.
The Arcade is now surrounded by a mix of discount carpet stores, Chinese eateries, a dollar store, a Hispanic food store and a check-cashing outlet.
Montgomery County planners consider the Glenmont Shopping Center ripe for development, but forging consensus among 15 properties with 13 owners has proved difficult in the past, according to county planner Michael Brown.
A document prepared by Brown for the Glenmont Sector Plan Update claims that the "Glenmont Shopping Center has a poor vehicle circulation pattern, inadequate pedestrian facilities, and a low aesthetic value. The pattern of multiple ownership has contributed to a lack of revitalization."
Brown told the Planning Board at its Jan. 26 meeting that little private development has come to Glenmont since the 1997 Sector Plan for the Glenmont Transit Impact Area and Vicinity. Only two properties have been improved since then--Capitol One Bank in 1998 and the in 2002.
However, lately the community has seen public development with plans for the relocation of Fire Station #18 and the nearly completed WMATA parking garage.
Brown is taking up the challenge to renovate the 19.6-acre shopping center, which sits at the corner of Randolph Road and Georgia Avenue. He said he has already set up meetings with 9 or 10 property owners.
Kris Kumaroo, founder and former president of the Greater Glenmont Civic Association, has also observed that Glenmont has seen few changes in the last decade, even as development has taken place up and down Georgia Avenue.
"I think they should start it over," Kumaroo said in an interview with Patch, referring to the shopping center. "They should raze it to the ground, figure out the proper traffic patterns, bring in some anchor stores and start again," he said.
Although the sector plan update is only in its preliminary stages, business owners are anticipating big changes. "They want to level the whole shopping center from what I understand," said Tom Barnsley, one of the owners of the in Glenmont.
"I know that a lot of the merchants up there are banking on a big developer coming in and buying everybody out," Kumaroo said. "That's what they are looking for."
Highway construction plans to build a new intersection raising Georgia Avenue over Randolph Road could spark a revival at Glenmont. Funding is in place for the 'grade separation' that would raise Georgia Ave over Randolph Road, and work on utility relocation has begun, according to county planners.
At its Jan. 26 meeting, the Planning Board approved the scope of work document, which outlines the purpose of the sector plan update, its methods and outreach vision, and the anticipated schedule.
Brown's proposed schedule anticipates community meetings in April and June, and a public hearing in September. The sector plan update could reach the Montgomery County Council by spring 2013.
Planning Board Chair Françoise Carrier called Brown "young and ambitious," and Commissioner Norman Dreyfuss told Brown he liked his "aggressive scheduling."
"The last Glenmont plan was not very well received by the community," Carrier added. "I expect that you will face very active discussion during your community outreach."
The first will be held February 4.
