Apps of the week: Four apps to help you stick to your healthy New Year's resolutions
By Alexandra Nicolas CNHI News Service
We're ten days into 2014 and the glimmer of a new year is starting to dim. Motivation to achieve those ambitions goals of a healthier lifestyle may be starting to wane and everyone could use a few apps to support their New Year's resolutions.
LiftLift bills itself as a daily motivation app and aims to help users achieve goals by forming good habits. Users select which habits they want to join, like beginning office yoga or a couch-to-5K program. The app then provides guidance along the way. Some habits have guided meditation. Others just have reminders. The app is available for free. PactPact, also called GymPact or Veggie Pact, motivates you by fining you for slacking on your exercise or healthy eating. If you do well, the app rewards you with cash, paid by the users who didn't do as well. You select how much money you're willing to put on the line, then you track how much you've made or lost. You prove you're achieving your goals with pictures of healthy meals or gym GPS check-ins. The app is available for free. Lose it!Lose it! a diet and fitness tracker, counts calories consumed and burned and prompts users to set a goal weight. The app then calculates the number of calories that you should consume each day to help you reach your goal. The app also includes a social component where friends can encourage each other, though the tying the app to soical networking isn't mandatory. The app is available for free. StreaksStreaks is a simple app, based on encouraging you to keep good behavior going by tracking your unbroken streaks. Miss a day? Your new streak starts over. Start with simple streaks, like "eat two servings of whole grains," then add more streak calenders as you go. The app is available for free. |

Rock Band: The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962 who were in the vanguard of the British Invasion of bands that became popular in the US from 1964–65 and an integral part of the counterculture of the 1960s. The Rolling Stones were also instrumental in making blues a major part of rock and roll, and of changing the international focus of blues culture to the less sophisticated blues typified by Chess Records artists such as Muddy Waters, writer of "Rollin' Stone", the song after which the band is named. American music critic Robert Palmer said the Rolling Stones' "remarkable endurance" stems from being "rooted in traditional verities, in rhythm-and-blues and soul music" while "more ephemeral pop fashions have come and gone". The first settled line-up had Brian Jones on guitar and harmonica, Ian Stewart on piano, Mick Jagger on lead vocals and harmonica, Keith Richards on guitar and backing vocals, Bill Wyman on bass and Charlie Watts on drums.

Developers: Coast casino project moving forward
by Associated Press
Published: January 6,2011
Tags: casinos, construction, gambling, gaming, hospitality, real estate
BILOXI — Developers hope to break ground March 1 for a casino project at the Clay Point area of East Biloxi.
Michael Cavanaugh, attorney for Coast casino developer Tom Brosig, tells The Sun Herald that the working name of the casino is MVB.
The first plans submitted to the review committee show the resort would be built in phases, starting with a 21,000-square-foot casino, 14,700 square feet of restaurants and pub, and two small retail spaces totaling a little more than 2,000 square feet. An 18-slip marina also would be part of the first phase.
Cavanaugh said plans aren't complete for further phases.
He said more details would be announced when the project goes to the Mississippi Gaming Commission, hopefully in February.

Police officials said an administrative bungle resulted in the autopsy report's premature release by the Los Angeles County coroner's office Friday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Police officials apologized Friday night to the family of the 24-year-old, New York City-born rapper killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles in 15 years ago. Notorious B.I.G.'s real name was Christopher Wallace.
"Due to an administrative error, the autopsy report was released prematurely. Robbery-homicide division detectives had intended to notify Mr. Wallace's family prior to releasing the report," the LAPD said in a statement.
"Our detectives personally spoke with the Wallace family [Friday] night, and apologized for not notifying them prior to the release," Capt. Billy Hayes said. "Obviously this has been a challenging case for us to solve. We hope that witnesses or other people with information will come forward and give us the clues we need to solve this case."
An attorney for the family had criticized the police for not giving them a heads-up on the report's release.
The police wanted the autopsy details disseminated "as an investigative tool, in the hopes that releasing the report would stimulate additional interest or bring forth witnesses or clues in the case," the newspaper said.
The report details how Wallace was struck by multiple bullets while sitting in a sport utility vehicle on March 9, 1997.
A toxicology screen showed he had no drugs or alcohol in his system.

Article Free PassElisha, also spelled Elisaios, or Eliseus, in the Old Testament, Israelite prophet, the pupil of Elijah, and also his successor (c. 851 bc). He instigated and directed Jehu's revolt against the house of Omri, which was marked by a bloodbath at Jezreel in which King Ahab of Israel and his family were slaughtered.
The popular traditions about Elisha (2 Kings 2–13) sketch a charismatic, quasi-ecstatic figure, very similar to Elijah. Like his mentor, Elisha was a passionate exponent of the ancient religious and cultural traditions of Israel, which both felt to be threatened by the ruling dynasty of Omri, which was in alliance with Phoenicia. (King Ahab's wife, the Tyrian princess Jezebel, was then trying to introduce the worship of Baal into Israel.) As a prophet, Elisha was a political activist and revolutionary. He led a "holy war" that extinguished the house of Omri in Jerusalem as well as in Samaria (2 Kings 9–10).
Though Elisha recruited Jehu to revolt against and succeed Ahab, it was Elijah who was instructed to anoint Jehu as Israel's king (1 Kings 19:16). This is characteristic of the relationship between the two prophets; in popular estimation Elisha always remains partly in the shadow of his master. The story of the beginning of his apprenticeship (1 Kings 19:19–21) and the account in which he becomes Elijah's heir and successor (2 Kings 2:8–18) both feature the prophetic "mantle." In the first, Elijah casts it upon his pupil; in the second, Elisha picks it up. The mantle, cultic garment of the prophet, carries connotations of power and authority.

Elizabeth Ann "Liz" Jones, 43, of Barrackville, passed away Thursday (June 27, 2013) at Fairmont General Hospital following a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born in Fairmont on Nov. 5, 1969, a daughter of Curtis H. Jones of Fairmont and Thelma Louise (Washington) Jones of Fairmont.
Liz was employed by Gabriel Brothers as a clerk for 12 years. In her earlier years she had also worked at McDonald's and Ruskin Co. Liz loved her family and friends. She enjoyed bowling, skating and swimming. She leaves us with the encouraging words "keep your head up," as she was quoted as saying in the 2010 Times West Virginian article about her support of the Relay for Life program as she was fighting for her life.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by her one and only daughter, Anaiah D. O'Neal, whom she loved dearly, of Fairmont; one sister, Cindy Allen and her husband Larry of Clarksburg; and brothers, Leo Jones, Curtis Jones and his wife Kelley, Tony Jones and his companion Olivia Barner, all of Barrackville, Brazz Evans and his wife Tracy of Fairmont, Kashawn Stuck and Dwaine Jones and his wife Tammi of Fairmont, who also were loving caregivers for Liz at their residence.
Also surviving is the father of her child and special friend, Lenny O'Neal; a cousin, Jocelyn Holt, and a special friend, Charlene Golson, both of whom assisted Liz's brother Dwaine in taking care of her; as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, George and Georgia Washington; her paternal grandparents, Curtis and Earline (Freeman) Sr.; five aunts, Alice Brown, Victoria Gregory, Delores Turner, Little Georgia Washington and Amy Little Washington; one uncle, James Washington; and two cousins, Harold "Suggie" Jones and Tiffany Walker.
Family and friends may call at Carpenter and Ford Funeral Home, 209 Merchant St., Fairmont, from 5-8 p.m. today and from 10-11 a.m. Tuesday. The funeral service will be held in the funeral home at 11 a.m. Tuesday with Pastor Hal Hevener and the Rev. Kevin Hall officiating. Interment will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery in Fairmont.
The family would like to extend special thanks to Fairmont General Hospital and staff for all their care of Liz during her illness.
Online condolences may be left for the family at www.carpenterandford.com.

Horrendous service from start to finish of booking the holiday. ClearSky mucked up my original booking to Krakow with an Auschwitz tour by only booking myself and not my wife on the flight! I then had a call from a supervisor saying that he managed to get us both on a better flight at an earlier time so we could have more time in Krakow and he confirmed this would be at the same price. Great I thought, and was happy with the service... A week before we were about to travel, I checked my… Read Full Review

Myleene Klass steps out in clingy acid yellow dress which reveals her underwear at the BRIT Awards
By Tania Willis
She is currently working as a fashion reporter for global TV network CNN.
But even those surrounded by the most stylish can make a fashion faux pas, as Myleene Klass did when she stepped out with her pants on show at the BRIT Awards in London on Wednesday night.
Dressed in an acid yellow Mark Fast dress, the former Hear'Say singer looked facially stunning, but clashed her pink lips with a red manicure in an outfit which left little to the imagination.
Mellow Yellow: Myleene's dress was a bit revealing for the red carpet as it left little to the imagination
Perhaps the colour clash was down to the brunette beauty's lighthearted approach to preparing for the glitzy awards bash, as she tweeted about her brazen beauty tactic earlier in the day:
'4 hours sleep and half a bottle of wine later....seems as good a time as any to attempt to fake tan. *hopes for the best*'
Although Myleene needn't of feared for her even tan, which looked glowing, but the transparency of her dress, which revealed large black pants underneath.
We can see you: Myleene didn't seem bothered that her dress was revealing her knickers on the red carpet
Holding up the top half of the outfit, which looked big enough to fit a small child, Myleene drew attention to her tiny frame by posting a shot of her with the garment between her hands on her Instagram page captioning:
'Gotta somehow now get into THIS outfit. #Brits #markfast'
The 35-year-old 'mumprenuer' teamed the neon macrame dress with a slick ponytail, bright pink lipstick and black and gold strappy heels.

Despite posing for various pictures throughout the ceremony, the slim brunette wasn't planning to carry on partying the night away, instead very sensibly taking herself home.
It was back to work for Myleene as she tweeted after the ceremony:
'Packing instead of partying. Heading to Milan for #milanfashionweek #CNN'
Zest appeal: Myleene's dress showed off her slim frame, but unfortunately for the TV presenter a little too much of her underwear
Madam macrame: Myleene was happy to pose for pictures with fans in the figure hugging fabric

CS was definitely fun last year!!! I was hoping it was going to be the same but I am sure Vail will be a blast as well. I would like to see somewhere besides Denver host but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Maybe if we comment enough on their Facebook they will let Colorado Springs host one year.

The Evolv Defy
Its a decent starting shoe. Although, I highly doubt that they will be good for 5.12 to 5.13 routes. Also, the author forgot to mention how bad they will stink after about a month or so of climbing. It seems to be the worse smelling shoe out there and will definently need cleaning every once and a while if you want to have friends to climb with.
Message to people buying shoes: All reviews like this talk way too highly of the shoes being sold. They exaggerate the good qualities of this shoe and leave out the bad.
That being said, this is a decent, comfortable shoe, but beware of the smell it will soon have. And don't buy this for 5.12 to 5.13 level route climbing.

Hi Steve,
It sounds like you have had a pretty positive experience from your time with this workout? I am looking for a more 'intense' workout as of late, started taking supplements to improve my mass and energy ( such as jack3d ), would you recommend this workout for these goals?

Sierra Designs Gnar Jacket
I own this jacket, but I haven't had too many opportunities to wear it yet. I'm going out in today in fact now that a cold front just blew in. It's the first down piece of clothing I've ever owned. I wish it were a little more poofy though because I can't imagine just a little bit of down, 800 though it is, keeping me warm. I hope I am wrong though. The women's Marmot Ama Dablan 800 fill down is much poofier, but of course, heavier.
Two things about the Gnar that I wish were better were 1. a hood (and NOW they have a hoody version, though it's not adjustable...yet), and 2. the jacket keeps shedding down. After a few years, there won't be any down left in it. All the feathers will have poked through and blown away. They need to make the jacket with a down-proof fabric, similar to what they use in Germany for down comforters.
Marquette Backcountry Ski
I had something like these in high school they were grate i want a pair with snow shoe binding where can i get them !!!!!!
Helle Viking Knife
Just to let you guys know, the birch on Helle knives are all soaked in Linseed Oil for one year before the knives are handcrafted. This helps prevent the expansion and contraction of the wood, and thus, this helps prevent cracking of the handles.
Also, Helle knives all have a lifetime warranty, so if the handle cracks, Helle will replace it for you (but in actuality this never happens... but it is a good piece of mind). Helle knives are made to be used, and they are perfect to pass on through the generations. Thanks for the review Steve!
(I work for the importer of Helle here in the US, and my company supplied Steve with this knife. Hence why I know a little bit about these beauties!)
Helle Viking Knife
I totally agree with you on the bolster point...as do many many others that have used knives with out them. Helle was replicating a knife from an era and style where they were omitted which as I understand it is the reason they did the same.
Helle Viking Knife
Thanks for the review. I agree with your about worrying weather the handle will hold up. The handle on this knife does not have any bolsters. Without the metal bolster on the front of the handle the wood is very prone to splitting. Using Birch for the handle is great as Birch is a high quality wood and it should work for most people and uses. Without a bolster up front eventually you risk splitting the handle. Thanks again for the review guys.. Peace ~ TondoCM
Helle Viking Knife
I'd worry about the wood handle as well, perhaps the leather disk style of a Kaybar would have been more sturdy. Also perhaps a small steel hilt.
Columbia Omni-Heat Technology
Thank you so much for the information. I wanted to know how long it took, "guestimation," for the metal dots to use your body heat to warm you up. I would assume since one would be wearing it in the cold the body would not have that much heat to begin with, so my main concern is the amount of time it takes for the jacket to actually work.
Changes at Cheyenne Mountain State Park
Fair point. And honestly, they can try to close them down in wet weather all the want, but there will be people who go anyway. They either need to build them and accept possible wet weather consequences, or not build them at all, as it doesn't seem like it'd really be something they could enforce really well (unless they're just going to station a ranger there on those days, which I highly doubt). And of course, I wouldn't be against connecting to RTP... :)
Changes at Cheyenne Mountain State Park
I don't know Fonk, I'm kind of against them adding the entire 5.2 miles of trails, especially if they are thinking of closing them during wet weather. I've never heard of such a thing. Maybe if someone has, they can tell me what trails "close down during wet weather". Also, I think money could be better spent connecting the CMSP trails to Ring the Peak and Muller.
Arcteryx Beta FL Jacket
Hello =)
can you tell me how windproof is this jacket since it's so breathable? I need the jacket in which I won't sweat but which will protect me from cold autumn and winter winds.
thank you
Changes at Cheyenne Mountain State Park
Your argument seems to be not with adding trails to the state park, but simply with adding no-bike trails to the park. As a fellow cyclist, I understand your frustration. However, I'm also a hiker and don't want to shoot myself in the foot (that really makes hiking hard ;-P). I'm all for them putting the trail to the top in; and hopefully, over time, we can convince them to open up the trail to bikes, too. If not, though, then I'll simply enjoy it on foot.

Backpacker's Pantry Meals
I have to say that Backpackers Pantry dehydrated meals are, without doubt, the best tasting backpacking meals I have ever tried. Although for food-regulation reasons, we here in the UK were only ever allowed to buy the veggie ones and now even these are not available to us. I have been in touch with BP and they are hoping to start supplies to the UK in the future. In lieu of these products I have tried various well known brands but most seem, irrespective of the the meal selected, to have a common, rather unpleasant undertaste whereas BP products always seemed fresh and scrummy. Very generous portions for this hungry solo backpacker, but please, please do away with the oversized packaging (as with most of the dehydrated brands). It does nothing for me and even less for the environment....!

Gust of Wind
Claude Monet - 1881
"In this nearly square picture, painted near the end of his life, Monet returned to the subject of the bridge, but it has been transformed by his exuberant brushwork and color. An almost indistinct mass, the bridge is engulfed by an arbor and trailing wisteria that had since been added (and which were tended by the six gardeners that Monet employed). Lavishly covered in paint that is caked on the surface in mounds, the picture is a forceful assertion of the aging painter's unrelenting desire to capture the dazzling effects of the landscape around him."Jennifer A. Thompson, from "Masterpieces from the Philadelphia Museum of Art: Impressionism and Modern Art" (The Yomiuri Shimbun, 2007), p. 78."Nympheas, Japanese Bridge," 1918–26, by Claude Monet

Although a 0-0 draw was arguably a just result in a rather tepid West London derby at Stamford Bridge, Fulham can rightly say that if there was to be a winner, the European champions could not argue too much had it been the visitors. Indeed, had John Arne Riise managed to score either one of his two opportunities after half-time, then the Cottagers could well have been returning to Craven Cottage with a famous three points.
Coming into the match, the fear was that Martin Jol's creaking back-line, shorn of the services of Brede Hangeland once more due to suspension, would struggle to cope with the pace and trickery of the likes Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar, not to mention Fernando Torres. However, Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez surprisingly chose to leave Mata on the bench while Hazard, Oscar and Torres were all subdued, partly due to their own lethargy and partly due to a superb defensive showing from Fulham.
Indeed, it was a display that starkly contrasted with some of the carefree defending we have seen from the Cottagers under Jol. However this time, having been bullied at the weekend by Stoke's aerial power, the central-defensive pairing of Philippe Senderos and Aaron Hughes was magnificent. It has to be said that in Torres they were facing a striker who is shorn of all confidence at the moment, yet to go to Stamford Bridge and keep a clean sheet is good in any season - particularly this one when only a few weeks ago everyone was raving about the Blues' attacking talents.
Of course, to subsidise for Fulham's impressive defence, the Cottagers' attack lacked the sparkle that we associate with them. While once again Dimitar Berbatov was majestic in his touch and control of the ball when in possession, his strike partner Hugo Rodallega failed to acquit himself very well on a rare start for the club and it seems certain that the return of Bryan Ruiz to full fitness to play alongside Berbatov cannot come quickly enough for Jol.
However, with two home games to come against Tottenham and Newcastle - fixtures that the Cottagers will be confident of getting results in under the lights of Craven Cottage - a point away at their local rivals left both the Fulham staff and fans extremely satisfied indeed.
In those two upcoming matches, Jol will hope to see a lot more of Kerim Frei. After recovering from surgery in the summer and going out on loan for a spell at Championship side Cardiff, Frei returned to the Fulham first team against Chelsea from the substitutes bench and proceeded to cause havoc with his direct running and electric speed. While much has been made of Alex Kacaniklic's form this season, a fully-fit and firing Kerim Frei would be yet another asset for Fulham's attacking talents.

David Moss scored a short-handed goal, Keith Yandle had a power-play goal and Shane Doan added his second goal in three games for the Coyotes, who have lost two straight.
After Stewart gave the Blues a 1-0 lead on a long rebound to the bottom of the right circle, a series of defensive miscues led to four of the next five goals.

Chip chip hooray: You say potato... but chefs say cassava, courgette or parsnip
Whatever fries are made from, they're fantastically popular, says Will Coldwell.
Not so long ago, the closest you could get to having a conversation about chips would have been when you ordered a portion of them at your local fryer. Now, chips are more than just chips. Whether they come double-cooked, triple-cooked, shallow-fried or made from sweet potato, plantain, cassava or even courgette, the simple deep-fried favourite certainly has a lot more to say for itself than it used to.
"It's very easy to think of chips as a frozen pack dumped in a fryer," says Tom Kerridge, the chef and owner of the two-Michelin-starred Hand & Flowers gastropub. "But it's the same as everything else: treated well with a bit of love and respect and they can be fantastic."
For Kerridge, the resurgence of street food has had a big impact on our appreciation of what was previously dismissed as "junk". "We're getting burgers, chicken wings, hot dogs, all that American-style street food and you suddenly realise a really well-made burger is something beautiful and brilliant," he explains. "When chips are alongside that profile of fast food you realise they're a very good accompaniment. We work hard to make sure each chip of ours is a very high-quality chip." When it comes to the pursuit of the "perfect" chip, however, Heston Blumenthal's technically magnificent triple-cooked recipe is still considered the gold standard.
"When it's made right, you've got a really light, fluffy inside to the chip and you've got lovely light yet crisp glass-like textured crust on the outside," explains Ashley Palmer-Watts, the executive chef of the Fat Duck Group, who has spent years serving the triple-cooked wonders.
"It's like a roast dinner. You can have a perfectly cooked piece of meat, but if the potatoes aren't good it lets the whole thing down. And I get more excited about the roast potatoes than I do the actual meat. It's the same with a chip." In fact, Palmer-Watts takes the integrity of his chips so seriously that for six to eight weeks each year he stops serving them. "There's a period in the year when you finish the old season's potatoes and the new season's potatoes come through. They're too sugary and just don't produce really good chips. So we'd rather take them off the menu than serve something that isn't as it's supposed to be."
Other chefs have been looking beyond the potato to make their chips. Indeed, it's not difficult to find a vegetable more exotic than the potato. But whether a chip can be made out of anything else remains a point of contention, one that Kerridge feels strongly about.
"Chips are done with potatoes and that's it," he says. "A classic's a classic. You can call a courgette a chip but it's not, is it? It's just a courgette that's been fried. A chip is done with a potato!"
Ben Tish, the chef director of Salt Yard Group, who serves up some "very popular" Venetian-style courgette and parsnip fries at his restaurants, represents a more progressive view. "Chips are done to death," he says. "The next step has to be to do something different.
"People always want something fried and crispy that they can dip in something and chefs have been experimenting with different vegetables and alternatives – there's definitely a bit of a movement for that.
"In effect, a chip is a cut. If you chip something then you are cutting it into a certain shape to be fried. So I don't think that's specific to potatoes. They're obviously the most common form of chips, but there's no scientific reason why you can't have a parsnip chip!"
Courgette Fries with Tomato Alioli
By Ben Tish
We have paired these fries with a tangy, sweet tomato alioli. A mandoline with a "spaghetti" cutter attachment will make light work of slicing the courgettes. You can sprinkle them with chopped fresh thyme or rosemary leaves as soon as they come out of the oil.
For the fries:
4 large courgettes, ends trimmed
2 litres olive oil for deep-frying
Milk for dipping
Plain flour for dredging
Sea salt and black pepper
For the tomato alioli:
100g ripe cherry tomatoes cut in half
A pinch of castor sugar
1 teaspoon Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar
Olive oil
200ml alioli
Fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
First, the tomato alioli. Place the tomatoes in a small saucepan with the sugar, vinegar and a splash of olive oil. Season with salt. Place the pan on a high heat and crush the tomatoes. Turn the heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes, crushing at regular intervals. Aim to reduce to a rough, dryish paste. Allow the paste to cool and then stir through the alioli. Slice the courgettes into thin strips.
Place the chips in a colander and sprinkle with sea salt. Put the colander over a bowl and leave for 20 minutes. Pat the courgettes dry. Heat the olive oil to 170C in a deep fat fryer, or until a chip fizzles when dropped into a pan. Place the milk and flour in separate bowls. Dip the courgette pieces in the milk and then dredge in the flour. Lower half the fries into the oil and move them around. When golden brown and crisp, drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the second batch. Sprinkle with Maldon sea salt and chopped herbs, if desired. Transfer to bowls and serve with the alioli on the side.

With its fresh fish and local potatoes, fried the same way since it opened in 1967, this shop has been described by many as the "best in the world".
1.6 million tons of potatoes are made into chips every year in the UK.
People from different regions in the UK have their own preference for chips. Southerners prefer them with salt and vinegar, people in the Midlands like to add cheese or curry sauce, while the Scottish are most likely to choose curly fries.
The best potato varieties for making chips are King Edward or Maris Piper.
Fish and chips were among the few foods not rationed during the Second World War, though the taste quality declined due to the second-rate frying oil that was available.
There are 10,500 specialist fish-and-chip shops in the UK, massively outnumbering all the major fast-food chains.
Every year, Britain eats its way through 250 million portions of fish and chips.
The largest portion of chips was fried up by the Fish and Chip Shop at Southend-on-Sea, which served up 448kg in a single box in 2011.
Henleys fish-and-chip shop in Essex holds the record for the fastest serving of chips cooked from scratch. The potatoes were chipped, cooked and ready to eat in just 222 seconds.
The world record for wrapping chips is held by Steph Celik, from the Blue Whale fish-and-chip shop in Yorkshire, who wrapped five portions in just 58 seconds.
In the 1937 book The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell implies that by keeping the masses happy, fish and chips helped to "avert revolution" in Britain.

Philadelphia police officer charged in fatal crash surrenders
PHILADELPHIA - October 1, 2013 (WPVI) -- A well-regarded Philadelphia police officer and member of the administrative staff surrendered Tuesday on homicide by vehicle charges.
Sgt. Thomas Winkis was behind the wheel of a Dodge Challenger on September 14th when it broadsided a van at Street Road and Ashburner Street.
Police say Winkis was driving under the influence at 100 miles per hour.
The driver of the van, David Farries, died two days later. His family claimed police were dragging their feet for two weeks before charging Winkis.
"For anyone to suggest, even if they're in an emotional state right now, that somehow this is special treatment is flat-out wrong," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey.
The crash happened just days after Winkis buried his ex-wife, who was also a police officer.
"On Labor Day his ex-wife suffered a brain aneurysm, passed away. He's got three children. Now, two weeks later, he's facing these charges," said Ramsey.
Police waited for the toxicology results before filing the charges. Winkis is charged with homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence and involuntary manslaughter.
Farries leaves behind four daughters and seven grandchildren.
"It's tragic all the way around. I'm certainly sorry for the loss of life, I'm sorry for the loss of career. There's just no winners," Ramsey said.
Winkis was arraigned on Tuesday afternoon and bail was set at 10% of $50,000.

Which Nashville businesses are making money off Obama-Romney 2012?

- Staff Reporter- Nashville Business Journal

Ken Fitzpatrick wishes presidential elections were held every year.
That's because campaigns are a boon for his company Franklin-based Premiere Transportation, which provides luxury buses for candidates and their staffs.
This year his company brought in more than $1 million from the Mitt Romney campaign, according to campaign spending records. (You can search the interactive database below to see other businesses that won a share of presidential campaign expenditures )
This election cycle, Premiere's 12-bus fleet, which feature leather seats, couches, high-definition TVs and fully stocked kitchens, also hauled around the campaigns of Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich.
"The increased volume in work allowed us to have a record year," said company president Fitzpatrick, noting that revenue this year will easily top last year's $2.5 million.
But let's be clear, Premiere works for Democrats and Republicans. In 2008, then candidate Barack Obama spent the summer traveling on Premiere's buses. In 2004, presidential candidate John Kerry was a Premiere client.
The company began in 1994 providing tour buses for musicians and entertainers. A decade later, it switched to politics and corporate clients.
The company's executive coaches aren't like your the average concert tour bus.
"Our buses have a lot more meeting space, which is what campaigns look for," Fitzpatrick said. "Campaigns don't need bunks. They stay at hotels. It's more like a portable mobile office."
Tomorrow, the company will start networking to land business with the next crop of White House hopefuls.
