À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Until recently, Costa Maya, or Mahahual, was an undiscovered fishing village. Today, it is rapidly becoming one of the hottest dive spots in the dive community.
Your excursion begins from the pier with a short ride through the town of Mahahual to the eco-friendly dive center. After embarking one of the custom-made dive boats, you will maneuver through the unique local reef corridors en route to the magnificent Meso-American Barrier Reef; the largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere. This particular area is renowned for its healthy and pristine corals, and breathtaking reef formations that form massive ledges and swim-throughs. Upon arrival, you and your guide will explore the marine life commonly experienced here, including turtles, lobsters, stingrays, eels, king crabs, barracuda, nurse sharks, and dolphin. You will also see a variety of tropical reef fish, including damsels, butterfly fish, pork fish, parrot fish, schools of Creole wrasse and blue tangs.
At the conclusion of your dive, you will opt to return to the ship, or stay and experience the local culture and beautiful beaches of Mahahual. Once a fishing village, Mahahual is now a small town thriving with wonderful beachfront shops, restaurants, bars, arts and crafts booths, and more. Whether you are interested in diving, shopping, dining, water sport activities or a relaxing massage on the beach, you will find it in Mahahual. If you choose to stay in Mahahual after the dive excursion, you will be responsible for your own transportation back to the ship, so please be aware of the all-aboard ship time. Taxis are abundant, and will return you to the ship.
Please note: This tour is only recommended for active guests in good physical condition. You must present your dive certification card, and show proof that you have dived within the last two years. All participants must complete a liability waiver, and fulfill all medical requirements. If you have not dived in the last two years, you may want to take a refresher course before your cruise, or select Discover Scuba instead. Guests are advised to wear a swimsuit under a cover-up, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, and bring a towel from the ship.

Group Documents + bp_core_catch_no_access causing redirection of some wp pages?
I've noticed a strange problem which seems to be caused by the Group Documents plugin and bp_core_catch_no_access
Since activating the plugin, new WP pages that I publish as a child to a particular parent (about/courses/my-wp-page) automatically redirect to the site index. Pages added before I activated the plugin load fine and don't redirect. Also putting a new page under other parent pages seems to work fine.
If I deactivate the plugin, the page loads fine. I can also put `remove_action( 'wp', 'bp_core_catch_no_access' );` in my template functions.php, and then the page also loads fine.
Any ideas why?
What implications would removing the bp_core_catch_no_access action have? I couldn't see any issues with removing it at the moment, but my site is still early in development.

|Baseball goes from good to bad in a heartbeat
|Sunday, August 04, 2013 12:00 AM
By JIM METCALFE
Sports Editor
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, inducted three long-dead men the other day: Jacob Ruppert, Hank O'Day and James "Deacon" White.
The fact that they have all been dead for at least 70 years in interesting, to say the least.
The current Baseball Writers Association of America — I am not a member, for those that are interested in such items! — deemed no one worthy of induction this year via the regular route.
As everyone knows by now, some of the leading names — that under different circumstances likely all would have been first-ballot electees — that got rejected were Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa.
These are three of the top figures of the Steroids Era and I think — I'm not the only one, by any means — those on the committee made their feelings crystal clear about what was going on in those years and they don't like it.
Two things leap to mind.
One, the old argument that what these men did was OK because the PEDs they used weren't illegal in baseball is a bunch of baloney. They were illegal elsewhere, so that is moot. Baseball was in violation of the law, not the other way around.
Steve Howe, who abused cocaine and failed numerous tests, is still eligible to be inducted into Cooperstown — he was banned by Fay Vincent but that was lifted by an independent arbiter in 1992; what a JOKE! — though he never will be.
Back to the current subject.
In essence, the writers "condemned" baseball for putting its head in the sand and acting like the famous "Three Monkeys" — see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil — during this time.
It also has currency with the plans for Major League Baseball to suspend several players, including Alex Rodriguez, for their involvement with the Biogenesis laboratory.
If A-Rod receives the "death penalty" — a lifetime ban from baseball, which supposedly is on the table — will he then be eligible for Cooperstown in five years?
If so, why? After all, isn't MLB admitting (if the powers-that-be take this step) that what he did violated the integrity of the game, which is why should-be member Pete Rose is not?
You all know my feelings about Pete, so I won't go into it.
If only he had admitted his gambling problem — his addiction — expressed his deepest regrets and checked himself into rehab far sooner, he'd likely be where he belongs but that isn't what made him Charlie Hustle, is it?
After all, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle were banned by Bowie Kuhn in 1983 for taking jobs with casinos in Atlantic — they had no formal ties to baseball anymore — but were reinstated in 1985 by Peter Ueberroth; Ferguson Jenkins was banned in 1980 (by Kuhn) for drug possession but was reinstated by an arbiter later and inducted into the Hall.
You never know.
I know a few Hall-of-Famers, like former teammate Joe Morgan, have come out for Rose's re-instatement; I know a few, like Jenkins, who believes he's where he belongs. It would be interesting to poll all the current living members (and any deceased members who had a known opinion one way or the other) — make it by voice vote AND secret ballot and see what their collective opinion is.
I would also like to see the controversy over Shoeless Joe Jackson cleared up once and for all.
He received a lifetime ban for the Black Sox Scandal but for me, is it an eternal ban? For something that to this day is controversial and not clear-cut as to what he did or did not do? Even the research I quickly did for this article was contradictory about what he actually did.
If you want to, make a "wing" regarding players like Rose and Jackson — and whomever else among the "banned" that is Hall-worthy — acknowledging they do belong in but because of serious reasons, they are not. Maybe have no bust, no photos, no other acknowledgement, but both of these guys were among the all-time greats.
Not acknowledging that fact is a "crime", too, but I suppose that Baseball doesn't want to recognize cheaters, gamblers, etc.
Ah, don't get me started down that road!
This will happen when you-know-where freezes over but I can always muse, right?
Oh, by the way — and I did not know this — one of the members of the Black Sox Scandal, Eddie Cicotte, who admitted his involvement but later recanted and was found not guilty at trial. In fact, according to some research I did, they all were. Yet they all were banned for life by then-Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
The second thing is that the three men inducted were chosen by the Veterans Committee.
I always wonder how, after all these years, these guys are found "worthy" of being Hall-of-Famers.
Did they add to their stats in any way in the intervening years?
I am not writing that these men don't actually deserve to be in Cooperstown, just wondering what convinced the Veterans Committee that now was the time.
I would really like to be a fly on the wall when the votes were cast as to the reasons given to include them now as opposed to years ago.
It's nice that the Hall has "finally" inducted men like Lou Gehrig and Rogers Hornsby — they weren't officially inducted because of World War II travel restrictions.

Tanning salons across the state may take a hit, following a new ban against one of their biggest demographics.
Catching some rays in a UV tanning bed will soon be a thing of the past for Illinois teens.
"I would probably like try to buy my own tanning bed or use a friend's if they had one. I would be pretty mad," said Erin Gilliatt of East Peoria.
On Thursday, Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation that bans the use of tanning beds by anyone under the age of 18. The new law goes into effect January 1, 2014.
The move makes Illinois the sixth state to ban tanning for teens.
Joanne Thomason, owner of Jay Cee's Salon in East Peoria, thinks the bill is a bad idea and something that should not be up to the governor to decide.
"Researchers are saying that diet sodas are being linked to cancer. Are we going to set an age limit on people purchasing diet pop? I think we shouldn't be taking this away from teenagers," said Thomason.
Thomason adds that her salon provides safe ways to tan, which include tanning in moderation along with appropriate sunscreen and protective eye wear.
However, a local dermatologist is in support of the bill.
"Like most minors or younger people they think this is not going to happen to me," said Dr. Douglas Leone of Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Institute. "They have that young mentality that they are invincible and this happens to other people. So I think overall this bill is a good thing."
Many teens may result to natural UV rays once they are not allowed in a tanning bed.
Tanning salons do expect to take a hit, however, they are hoping their non-UV tanning options will compensate.
As for teens who may rely on tanning for conditions like psoriasis or acne, doctors say they recommend using their treatments over the melanoma risks of tanning beds.
According to the American Cancer Society, studies have found a 75 percent increase in the risk of melanoma for those who use indoor UV tanning.

Deep house legend, Osunlade is known by many in the dance community for his deep, afro, latin house. Many, however, are unaware of the fact that Osunlade first got his start in genres outside the dance realm. He has written music for Sesame Street and worked with the likes of Patti Labelle and Roy Ayers. Looking at his past it's really no surprise that he would return to his soul, jazz, r&b roots with "The Rebirth". This album proves that he is a far more accomplished musician than many may think of when they think of DJ Osunlade. "The Rebirth" is one of the most well produced albums that has ever come across our table. Full of lush instruments and deep lyrical content, Osunlade wrote and played almost all the instruments himself.
Resident Advisor sat down with Osunlade back in October and this is what he had to say of the new record. "Before I started doing house music, I only did the type of music that's coming out on this album. This is a personal thing. This is probably the most vulnerable, the closest to my heart that I've been creatively."
Osunlade is working on putting the live show together for 2010. Check him out on Myspace to get updates on his upcoming tour.

Wes Clark - Obama and the TV and Radio Machines
by kevin22262, Tue Jul 01, 2008 at 11:49:45 AM EDT
There is so much talk going on all over the "tubes" lately about what Wes Clark said and meant.
To get a little perspective about how Wes Clark feels about Obama and what he has been saying about McCain, try reading his own words from his personal blog at WesPAC.
After reading his words and understanding where he is coming from, then listen to what he has to say. Check out all of the video and audio from the last few days by going here:
Dan Abrams on MSNBC, Good Morning America on ABC and on the Ed Schultz show.
Do any of you still think that Barack Obama, his campaign and Wes Clark are not working together?

I could tell you about my second day at the NFL Combine in chronological order, but as journalists would scold: I'd be burying the lead... Lede. Whatever. Here's what happened:
It's about 3:00 p.m. and I'm walking to go fetch some caffeine when I have to halt abruptly to avoid running over someone who cuts in front of me from my right. Before I can apologize for the near-collision, I realize it's Tim Tebow, and in the two seconds it takes me to process the surprise, he's moved on and is headed towards Stage C. I realize my good fortune, trail him to the stage, turn on my voice recorder, place it on the podium, and settle in for the biggest event of the day.
The voice in the sky announces, "Now appearing on Stage C, some guy from the University of Florida." It's sort of been the running joke of the Combine: we all know how ridiculous Tebow-mania is, and yet there's not one of us who's even bothered pretending that we're not dropping whatever we're doing to sprint his way when the time comes.
The time is here, and if I can say with a straight face that if I'd arrived in the second wave I would not have elbowed my way up to the front, by good fortune I'm standing front and center in front of the most talked about NFL prospect of the year--if not decade. Maybe ever. Who knows?
What I do know is that I don't cover live events as a reporter very often and this is likely the only time I'll be standing three feet away from this player who--whatever else you think about him on or off the field--is probably the single most visible player in college football history. As the throngs of media members hustle towards the stage, I realize that while I've not yet used my camera to record any video, if ever there was a time, this is surely it. I pull out my camera, turn on the power, and fiddle with the settings before raising it towards the podium where Tebow is to speak.
And this is the first thing that I see:
/sound effect of record screeching to a halt. Wait, what? Rewind: did I just see what I think I just saw?
Seriously, watch it again: the video couldn't be clearer. Tim Tebow scribbles in a notebook and hands it back to a reporter. Somebody behind me says what every one of us is thinking: Tim Tebow's celebrity is so oversized that reporters are asking for his autograph!
Fast forward 30 minutes to the end of Tebow's media session, and I'm walking back to my work station through a throng of reporters gossiping about The Incident at the beginning of the presser. Another reporter is on the phone giving a radio interview and I overhear him say, "One other note on Tebow's press conference: I've never seen this before in my life, but a reporter asked for his autograph before the session even got under way. I don't know who it was, but man, that guy has some real stones."
Having stood right next to him throughout the press conference, I know exactly who it was--John Hoover of the Tulsa World, a sports writer whose work I know well as a fan of the Texas Longhorns. Though I rarely use Twitter other than to announce that new posts are up at Burnt Orange Nation, I've been using it throughout the NFL Combine to relay little tidbits to my followers.
"A shame that a talent like Danario Alexander's battling through yet another knee injury."
"Brad Childress looks like a garden gnome."
Without thinking much of it, I fire off a new Tweet:
"Tulsa reporter John Hoover asked for Tebow's autograph at the media session."
At this point, I find the incident far more amusing than anything else (more on this in a minute)--commentary on Tim Tebow's truly ridiculous popularity--but the replies to my Tweet aren't at all focused on Tebow, but on Hoover, for committing Journalist No-No No. 1: the dreaded breach of impartiality. Given I'd arrived in Indianapolis committed to PB's Combine Coverage Rule No. 1--think like a fan, not like a journalist--it is perhaps unsurprising that I miscalculate the reaction.
Nevertheless, with Jordan Shipley about to speak to the media, I put the whole thing out of mind for a while and head back to the floor. I'm away from my computer for less than hour, but in 2010 Internet Time that's like being away for a week. Since I've been gone, my Tweet has reached John Hoover himself, and he has begun... reacting, shall we say. His spray of Tweets cover two main points: (1) PB is a liar, and (2) PB is a s***head.
I weigh his two points against the two that led me to say anything in the first place: (1) a couple dozen others saw the same thing that I saw, and (2) my video camera saw the same thing that I saw. John Hoover gave Tim Tebow his notebook, Tebow signed it, and handed it back.
I know that I'm not lying--an intentional crime--but as I reflect on the situation, I acknowledge I could be mistaken. Suzanne Haliburton of the Austin American-Statesman sends me a message, urging me to delete my Tweet, which she insists is inaccurate. Hoover had held out his notebook as a joke, she explains, asking Tebow to write his notes for him. With no agenda, I decide that whether or not that's what actually happened, it's not worth sullying John Hoover's name, and send out a correction via Twitter, then look up John's email on the Tulsa World website and send an explanatory note, offering my apologies. John writes back appreciatively, apologizing for calling me unprintable names. I thank him for understanding my mistake, and he emphasizes that he didn't intend for his initial reaction to sound so threatening. It's email Kumbaya.
Then, after all that--just when I'm about to log off for the night--it hits me: though I didn't start my video in time to catch the beginning of the Hoover-Tebow exchange, my early arrival at the stage meant I'd been able to turn on my audio recorder and place it on the podium in front of Tebow while everyone else rushed in. Whatever John Hoover said when he held out his notebook would be on my recording.
I plug in my headphones, scan through the recorded interviews until I find the Tebow session, and hit play. Not thirty seconds in, I hear a voice I recognize as John Hoover's say something. I rewind the tape, turn the audio all the way to max volume, listen for it again, and this time make out the words. It's definitely John Hoover, and he definitely says: "Do you want to do my notes for me?" I hear a handful of people laugh, followed by a long pause, and then Hoover again: "My laptop's over there if you want to go ahead and file the story for me, too."
I can't help but chuckle at the exchange: Hoover's crack on Mr. Do-It-All is actually quite funny and, even funnier, Tebow didn't flinch, grabbed the notebook, and played right along. Touché...
(John Hoover describes the incident here.)
More Tebow: Autograph-gate explained, a few things about Tim Tebow himself: Though I'd always found it hard to understand just what it was that made Tebow such a fan and media darling, watching him do his thing cleared that up quickly. I've seen other hyper-charismatic players on the football field (Vince Young comes to mind), but never anyone who's equally good in front of the cameras. Here, see for yourself:
At one point later in the press conference, a reporter asks about the role that "Team Tebow" is playing in his Draft preparation, to which Tebow gives the reporter a condescending look and replies, "Team Tebow?" Everyone in the room laughs. The reporter tries to clarify who he means, but Tebow's moved on. It's a classic Cool Kid moment, one of several throughout the presser, and I begin to understand why he always owns whatever room that he's in.
Dez Bryant, WR Oklahoma State: You don't need media access to understand why Dez Bryant is so good on the football field, but I do to understand why he made such a needless mistake of lying to the NCAA. Standing in front of a throng of reporters, Bryant could not be more uncomfortable. He answers questions tentatively, extremely nervous. One question after another, reporters ask him about the incident, and it's clear by the end of it all that Bryant lied because he was nervous, just like he is now. I'd be surprised if he has a malicious bone in his body. Listening to him talk about his difficult background and everything he went through to get here, I find myself happy for him, glad his payday has finally arrived. I'll be rooting for him.
Bryant concludes his presser by announcing he will not be working out at the Combine, due to a tweaked hamstring. He'll work out for teams at Oklahoma State's Pro Day.
Jordan Shipley, WR Texas: Remarkable fact of the day: Jordan Shipley has never been timed in a 40-yard dash in his life. His run on Sunday will be his first ever.
Danario Alexander, WR Missouri: I'm dismayed to see Alexander walk in to the media room on crutches. He's hurt his knee... again. Most people forget that there was a time when Alexander was ahead of Jeremy Maclin on the depth chart. Injuries have held him back, but when healthy, he's about as good an NFL prospect as the more acclaimed Dez Bryant. This is a big setback, though. Here's to hoping for a full recovery.
Zac Robinson, QB Oklahoma State: How cool is this? Robinson tells us that the primary reason he signed with his agent was because he also represented Colt McCoy, and Robinson wanted the chance to compete, work, and train with him in preparation for the Draft. The two quarterbacks have been working out together in Irvine, CA.
Jevan Snead, QB Ole Miss: OSU's Robinson, Cincinnti's Tony Pike, and Jevan Snead are the only 3 of the top 10 QB's in this year's class that will be working out and throwing at the Combine.
Jeff Fisher, Head Coach Tennessee Titans: Facing a slew of questions about Vince Young, it's clear Jeff Fisher still doesn't want to admit that he was wrong to delay replacing Kerry Collins with VY. To the end, Fisher refuses to budge, blaming Collins' struggles on dropped passes while reducing Vince Young's success to being the beneficiary of the Titans' great running game.
Jeff Fisher feigns surprise at the suggestion he waited too long to reinstall Vince Young.

During a period of flat or declining academic budgets, university athletic enterprises are growing at a healthy clip in the NCAAs Division I schools, according to a revealing new database.
The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, long a voice for reform in college sports, unveiled an extensive database Wednesday that shines a light on universities big spending on athletics particularly football.
For example, while academic spending per student dropped 12 percent at UNC-Chapel Hill from 2005 to 2011, athletic spending per athlete grew by 30 percent and football spending per player jumped 56 percent.
At N.C. State University during the same six-year period, per student spending on academics inched up 2 percent, while per athlete spending increased by 16 percent and football expenses jumped 85 percent.
Overall, UNC-CH spent $96,135 per athlete on athletics in 2011, less than the $100,319 per athlete at NCSU. But UNC-CH spent more on football, at $144,747 per player, compared with NCSUs $134,211.
Both were well below the nations football powerhouses in sports spending. In 2011, athletic spending per athlete topped $212,000 at third-ranked Auburn University, while second-ranked Ohio State spent nearly $381,000 per player on football.
A clear pattern does emerge, and that is the pattern that athletic spending is rising rapidly while academic spending is stagnating, said Amy Perko, executive director of the Knight Commission.
In each subdivision in NCAA Division I, athletic spending per athlete rose at a faster rate than academic spending. The gap was biggest in the Football Bowl Subdivision and smallest among schools that do not have football programs. On average in the big FBS schools, academic spending grew by 3 percent, while athletic spending climbed 31 percent and football expenses rose 52 percent.
Unsustainable spending
Much of the growth in sports spending coincided with increases in coaches salaries, the Knight Commission concluded. Among the five conferences with the largest budgets, median salaries jumped as much as 54 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars over a six-year period.
College athletics has the potential for so much good, but the current trajectory of spending is unsustainable, said a statement by William Brit Kirwan, chancellor of the University System of Maryland and co-chairman of the Knight Commission. We already see levels of spending at some universities that require them to divert substantial resources from their core academic responsibilities.
To cope with a hefty athletic department debt, Kirwans flagship campus at College Park dropped seven sports programs, including its swim teams, mens tennis, mens cross-country and indoor track. The university joined the Big Ten looking for better revenues but was ridiculed for buying iPads for all of its athletes at a cost of nearly $300,000.
The Knight Commission numbers come at a time when higher education is under increasing scrutiny for rising tuition and sometimes low productivity. The database provides a rare view of athletic spending at more than 220 Division I public universities. It was compiled from several sources, including NCAA financial reports available through USA Today and academic spending comparisons in the Delta Cost Project at the nonprofit American Institutes for Research.
The database does not include information from private universities, which are not compelled to release their data to the public. Among Atlantic Coast Conference schools in North Carolina, there are no data for Duke University or Wake Forest University.
Some questioned the value of comparing measures that calculate academic spending over thousands of students with spending spread across several hundred athletes. The Knight data do not show TV and ticket revenue, which goes to support spending increases in sports programs, said UNC-CH Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham.
Cunningham, reached on the phone while traveling with the Tar Heel basketball team in Michigan, said he had not looked at the statistics in depth but cast doubt on their usefulness. The context of the data is important, he said; statistics can easily be used in the story the Knight Commission is trying to create.
Poor way ... to compare
He said the academic spending numbers are dubious because they are not based on the universitys total budget, which is $2.5 billion.
Football and basketball generate more money than they spend, yet were going to put in all the gross amount of the expense, including game day operations, which creates the revenue that pays for the other sports, Cunningham said. So comparing gross numbers to net numbers is a poor way to try to compare.
Cunningham said it is useful, though, to see how UNC-CH stacks up against others in sports spending.
When I look at our peer institutions in those categories, I think we have some very reasonable expenses, he added. To me, thats when you have at least a better chance of comparing apples to apples, when you compare an athletic expenditure to someone elses athletic expenditure.
The bottom line is dramatic growth in expense has been accompanied by growth in revenue, Cunningham said, which funds the growth of opportunities for students to play intercollegiate athletics. I think that point shouldnt be missed.
Last month, the UNC Board of Trustees did not consider a proposed student athletic fee increase after students voiced their disapproval. The athletic department sought the fee hike to pay for higher travel expenses in the expanded ACC conference.
In the aftermath of scandals surrounding UNCs football program, an independent commission headed by Hunter Rawlings recommended greater transparency in athletic spending. Rawlings is the head of the Association of American Universities.
Leaders at N.C. State were unavailable for comment Wednesday, a spokesman said.
Some expect the Knight Commission database to be a useful tool for decision makers.
UNC Charlotte Chancellor Phil Dubois leads a UNC system task force on athletic finance transparency, which is expected to release recommendations in February. The group will likely propose that chancellors and trustee boards use the Knight Commission database as one source in their assessment of athletic spending.
I dont think its a bad thing to have a good, open and healthy conversation about spending on athletics, he said.
But, he pointed out, spending on athletics is generally less than 5 percent of institutional budgets.
Charlottes football debut
UNC Charlotte saw a 2 percent decline in academic spending over the six-year period, while athletic spending per athlete increased 27 percent.
During that time, UNCC launched a football program, which kicked off its first season this fall. That was accomplished largely by an increase in student fees, which the students supported, Dubois said.
But in the complicated debate over state funded budgets, rising tuition, athletics fees and the cost of education, theres always going to be some tradeoff, Dubois said. Thats why policymakers need to have the data to understand whats happening with spending on the athletic side as well as the academic side.
The 49ers football program, Dubois said, has already exceeded expectations in its ability to galvanize the campus and build new bridges with the Charlotte community.
But will it ever be self-sustaining?
Not a chance, he said.

Do you remember Montana Mazurkiewicz?
He was the little boy battling cancer who was a big Notre Dame Fan... you might recall Charlie Weis met him and let him call the first play for a game?
That was back in 2005 and his family is returning with a team to walk in Mishawaka's Relay for Life for the first time since Montana died.
Montana would be a high school senior graduating this year.
His friends and family say the event that kicks off tomorrow will be very emotional for them.
They will have scrapbooks, photos, articles and other things in remembrance of the adventurous kid they called incredibly generous.
One of his good friend's John Banes, says seeing that play called"pass right," gave them hope, but was also heartbreaking, "I know it meant the world to him that he got to visit coach Weis and call that play. But it breaks our hearts he couldn't see it. "
Banes says they all can only imagine the great person Montana would've grown up to be.
The cause of cancer is particularly heart-wrenching for Montana's family.
Montana died of inoperable brain cancer and his mom, Cathy Mazurkiewicz, died 8 months later from melanoma.
Relay for Life kicks off at Mishawaka High School at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Keyboard Maestro
Keyboard Maestro is a productivity enhancer which can help improve almost every aspect of using your Mac
Keyboard Maestro is a productivity enhancer with three main functions, allowing you to design your own macro shortcuts and activate them at any time, navigate through running applications and open windows with Program Switcher, and work with an unlimited number of clipboards using Clipboard Switcher.
Whether you are a power user or a grand parent (or both!), your time is precious. So why waste it when Keyboard Maestro can help improve almost every aspect of using your Mac. Even the simplest things, like typing your email address, or going to Gmail or Facebook, launching Pages, or duplicating a line, all take time and add frustration. Let Keyboard Maestro help make your Mac life more pleasant and efficient.
Required OS: 10.8
Tags: automation , launcher , macro , utility , productivity
23 Opinions
If you have a problem with the way an app works (any app, but Final Cut Pro is one...), you can likely get the functionality you want using Keyboard Maestro.
And if you have two apps that you sort of wish were one app, the Maestro can do that as well.
I can't believe Apple won't just buy it and build it right into the OS. It is so goddamned useful. It is the glue that holds my Mac together.
I have tried a lot of Apps, but I find Keyboard Maestro the app that I use every day, at job and at home.
It gives me shortcuts that I need, and macros.
It is also possible to send the history from one mac to another to use it both places without need to program 2 places.
The support is ............great!
One of the best parts of KM is Peter's help when you get stuck.
I had heard about keyboard Maestro from a few sources I trust here and there and had made a mental note to try it. Finally, one day I got fed up with repetitive tasks, and I decided it was time to download it.
I am stuck using Lotus Notes at my workplace but I have the consolation of using a Macbook pro rather than a Windows machine. Still, even on a Mac, Lotus Notes is not, shall we say, famous for its beauty or usability or efficiency.
I installed Keyboard Maestro and I bought it within 4 mins, after setting up a really simple but wonderful macro that lets me quickly switch typeface color to blue in Lotus Notes (saving me three hundred thousand silly steps and wading through sub-menus). A slight exaggeration on the number of steps but not on the time to decide to buy.
I also smugly showed off to my colleagues how nice life has become.
Wonderful application, highly recommended. It will make you wonder how you lived without it.
This has been a boon to my aching fingers.
It's actually $36 @ Kagi.
Yes, Keyboard Maestro version 4 is working fine on both Leopard and Snow Leopard. Version 3 is working on Leopard, haven't tested on Snow Leopard. Think you need 4 though.
Keyboard Maestro is the single strongest productivity enhancer on OS X. KM allows us to program any repetitive task sequence in a matter of minutes. We've tried AppleScript and Automator but for sophisticated tasks they take hours of tinkering to get them to do just what we want. With Keyboard Maestro, if you can write the steps down, your macro is already done. Our programming team moving over from Windows was thrilled to be able to set some essential keyboard shortcuts to what they are used to to get off to a fast start on Mac.
Personally I use it to make keyboard shortcuts work the same across multiple applications and to make Apple Mail accept Eudora keyboard shortcuts. I also have hot keys for filing mail. The first software I bought when the office switched from Windows to Mac was a site license for Keyboard Maestro.
Can anyone post some feedback whether or not this is working on slow leopard?

"it works"
The four tours were terrific. I loaded them into my iPod, and my wife and I each listened through one of the ear buds as we slowly strolled, arm and arm through Florence.
The author sprinkles some interesting history and folklore into each tour. Be sure to take copies of the accompanying maps, to help navigate through some of the trickier routes.
"quite a journey"
Great story of the long journey involved in getting the Statue of Liberty from the mind of an artist to an island off the southern tip of Manhattan. Lots of interesting detail and a great narrator.
"Incredible history, brilliant narration"
This is a great book for anyone wanting to dive deep into Israeli history and politics. The author does an inspired job of telling the Jewish state's story from it's true, existential beginnings. Not the 1920s or the 1940s, but the late 1800s, and even before that.
Shavit offers a very nuanced argument for Israeli's current malaise, one which provokes more thought than seeks to convince of anything. And such a thing is rare.
This is also a rare book which might be better as an audiobook than in paper format. Paul Boehmer's delivery and accent really bring this work to life.
"under our noses"
While the core story here is about a sting operation related to arms sales, the author provides additional information about how US defense contractors frequently break American law by knowingly selling arms to the bad guys.
"just not the same when Billy doesn't narrate"
Chock full of the most amusing trivia about America. Sadly, after getting used to Bryson as narrator, change is tough.
Not a knock on Will Roberts, who is a great narrator.
"richly detailed account of getting out"
A captivating and richly detailed recap of the authors escape from North Korea. Very interesting to hear exactly how it was done.
"rollicking story of a very long foot race"
Close up look at the hilarity as well as the blood, sweat and tears of this 1928 foot race across America. You'll get to know the many personalities in the race, including the runners and the promoter. A fun listen!
"with a little charm, you can rob almost anyone"
Great recap of how Mr. Smiley navigated his way from scholarly research of old maps into stealing them, in an effort to support his lifestyle.
"What we'll be eating in 2025"
Good overview of what is next in the world of sustainable food. Also, a close look at how some very talented folks raise animals/grow food that tastes great, and improves the environment at the same time.
"smuggling is us"
Well paced survey of how smuggling played a role in the history and development of America. Learn about smuggling slaves, booze, drugs....you name it. Some interesting insights into the development of the modern drug trade. Also some factoids on what get's smuggled out of America.
"reasonable survey of an important trend"
I enjoyed listening to this book. Rifkin lays out a key trend that is evolving. He does however, push this "zero marginal" cost a little too much. By this I mean he infrequently reminds the reader of the high fixed costs required to operate at close to zero marginal cost.

It's like I'm watching the degradation of society in front of my own eyes.
Adrien Broner represents this whole YOLO / Swag / skinny jeans / aimless / lost half a fag generation that is going on right now.
Does he have extreme talent ? Absolutely.
But that's the thing. He ain't really about that boxing life.
This kid wants to be Floyd, but doesn't have the discipline to even get on that path.
It doesn't work out in the end. We done seen it before with Tyson, Prince Naseem and so many other great fighters.
It's not enough to just get into the gym and train. You have to be about that warrior lifestyle. You can't be drinking, smoking or even fucking around with too many bitches.
You need to have a single-minded dedication towards being at your physical peak almost every day. Even when Floyd is on vacation, the guy is training and thinking about boxing. Same with guys like Terrell Owens. That dude is 40 and ain't even in the league no more, but he's more chiseled than half the dudes in the NFL.
Is it possible to be an extremely successful athlete with little regard to training or preparation ? Absolutely. 2 famous examples are Lawrence Taylor and Deion Sanders.
Having said that, those 2 are the kinds of once-in-a-lifetime type talents that are just a cut above everyone else. Them motherfuckers can stay doing whatever and still whoop everybody's ass.
Broner is not that kind of a talent. Hell, even Floyd isn't (strictly speaking, athletically). Boxing is also a completely different animal. One significant error and you can be waking up in the hospital.
I just hate it because young people will look up to Broner, but he ain't about shit.
How you 24 years old and already got 5 kids by multiple hoes ? How you in the strip club eating diseased pussy on Worldstar ? How you tryna be a "rapper", but your rap shit is worse than Trinidad James (and that's really saying something) ? How you riding around smoking and drinking and you talmbout "I'm about to be the greatest ever !"
This is that bullshit. I'm calling it right now. He's going to take an L and it may happen very soon.
Yeah motherfucker. You're "about billions" but you ain't about that boxing life.

Brunch Cocktails on AMNW/
KATU was kind enough to have be back again to mix up some brunch cocktails. Check out the video segment following the recipes.
The first cocktail was inspired by the talented and creative Josh Sullivan of Post-Prohibition. Experiments in homebrewing led Sullivan to create the grapefruit hop syrup and subsequent "The Fencer" cocktail. We further riffed off his creativity and used a different strain of hops from our own ventures in homebrewing to create our syrup, and swapped the Campari for her sweeter sister, Aperol.
Italy in the Morning
- 1.5 oz gin
- .75 oz Cocchi Americano
- .5 oz. Aperol
- .5 oz. Grapefruit-Hop Simple Syrup
- .25 oz Grapefruit Juice
Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for 15 to 30 seconds. Strain into chilled cocktail glass
Class Act
- 1.5 oz vodka
- .75 oz Cocchi Rosa
- .75 oz Lemon Juice
- Soda Water
Add first three ingredients to cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for 15-30 seconds. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Top with soda water
English Breakfast
- 1.5 oz whiskey
- 1 tbsp bitter orange marmalade
- 1 oz lemon juice
Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into chilled old-fashioned glass over large ice cube.

With the army extending soldiers' tours of duty from 12 months to 36 months, local moving companies will soon feel the effects of less business. Killeen moving company, Scobey Moving & Storage, is just one of the many local businesses anticipating a decline in overall military moves.
"We used to be 95 percent military moves, and now certainly we go out to the community, which Killeen and Fort Hood have become a larger community with more resources here, so we look more toward local moves," Scobey general manager Pam Jeffrey said. "We look to corporate moves. We do some distribution now that we didn't used to do, and so we're trying to diversify somewhat so that we can make up for this."
The new tour extensions coupled with overall budget cuts are also preventing Scobey from hiring more workers during the peak summer moving season.
"Normally, this time of year we would have hired another 15 to 20 people for the summer alone, and we have not done that this year, and we don't anticipate doing that," Jeffrey said.
Competition amongst moving companies will become much tighter once the tour extension take affect.
"Every mover in town is facing a pretty big challenge for the next several years," Jeffrey said.

Face climbing followed by stemming on less-than-vertical terrain, followed by some exciting stemming under an overhang (it's hard to call it a roof because it is so rounded.) The chains are just above the overhang.
This climbs an obvious, shallow trough to an overhang. Above and behind the overhang a deep crevice continues. This is located shortly before the outside corner in the wall, beyond which are constructed terraces.
9 bolts to chain anchors with cord backup. The last bolt is non-obvious; it is on the left side of the overhang near the top.

Poured into a sam adams custom pint glass: color is dark brown, not opaque but very dark; head is tan, presenting 1/2 inch thick, the dissipating to a top and some bubbles on the glass.
Smell is lighter on the spice, some clove is dominant, subtle cinnamon, maybe allspice; some chocolate malt comes through, maybe some light roast scent as well.
Taste is pretty well blended mix of spice and light malt flavors; absolutely no indication it as strong as it is. Spice profile is similar to the aroma, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, maybe some ginger; malt is subtle, mainly light caramel, chocolate and roast.
Mouthfeel is where this beer fails to me, the booze and spice must catch up to really dry it out leaving a poor lasting impression on the tongue. Flavors bounce on the tongue and cheeks but are overtaken by this over drying quality.
Overall, a decent beer but it does not seem to jump out in terms of backbone beer (is it a porter or brown ale) and the spice profile seems heavy to one type which results in a sub par mouthfeel to me.

A: Pours a clear but almost opaque dark brown in color with light amounts of gentle visible carbonation along the edges of the glass and some deep cola brown + crimson red highlights. The beer has a finger tall creamy dark beige head that slowly reduces to a mottled medium thick film that covers the entire surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of toasted bready malts with light aromas of pumpkin and slightly heavier than moderate aromas of pumpkin pie spices - specifically cinnamon and nutmeg stand out.
T: Upfront there is a light flavor of toasted bready malts with a moderate amount of caramel and vanilla sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of roasted pumpkin and slightly heavier than moderate flavors of pumpkin pie spices - cinnamon and nutmeg. Hints of bitterness in the finish but it fades pretty quickly.
M: Medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Hints of dryness from the spices in the finish.
O: Quite a bit darker in appearance than I have come to expect for a pumpkin ale, maybe heading towards a brown ale or porter in appearance. It is a little sweet but not cloyingly so and it hides the 8.5% ABV pretty well - it is barely noticeable in the aroma or flavor. I think I enjoyed this one a little more than some of the other reviewers but I enjoy the style.

From notes.
22oz bottle purchased at a nearby grocery store.
The beer poured a dark mahogany color, taking on a more orangey-amber hue when held up to light. Beige-colored foam head. Said head dropped within a couple of minutes, leaving spotty lace.
Pumpkin pie-type spices greeted the nose. Seemed like it was going to be rather sweet.
My suspicions were correct. This was a sweet, sugary beer. The sweetness was much like the nose in that it reminded me of the smell of a piece of pumpkin pie, but the sweetness was even more pronounced.
The body was somewhere between medium and full. The mouthfeel was coating and prickly.
Another pumpkin beer that's thoroughly mediocre. I'd be interested in trying a version of this that is less sweet.

I bought a bomber of Harlot's Harvest Pumpkin Ale in a bottle shop. Poured in to a pint glass.
Pours a dark walnut color with a thin beige head. There are garnet red hues shining through the beer when held up to the fall sunlight.
Snell is faint, with some sweet spice and squash notes on the nose.
Taste is very much a pumpkin porter. Rich charcoal flavors, with some pumpkin and spice, clove and cinnamon along side, and mild bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is full-bodied in keeping with the porter style.
Overall a rich dark pumpkin ale. None of the flavors are overpowering, and this is remarkable drinkable on a fall afternoon.

Deep and dark caramel color. Soapy off-white head. No lacing. Thin.
Roasty, light spice, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, and mild pumpkin aroma.
Tons of crystal and caramelized sugars. Spice flavors are prevalent and faint. Mildly creamy, high carbonation detracts from the spicy flavors. Very light sweetness and mild dry bitterness. Well done. The dryness is earthy and kinda awkward, kinda makes your mouth pucker, but not in a sour way. Drinks a lot like a pumpkin porter.
Definitely one of the better pumpkin brews on the market. Slightly allover the board, but holds true. I could definitely recommend this one...

Reviews for Mushroom Pasta Carbonara
Sort By :
My wife and I both loved this. The only thing we changed was to use fresh baby Bella mushrooms instead of jarred. Mmmmmmmm..........
Made this tonight. Absolutely delicious. Didn't make any changes other than using entire box of penne pasta and added a bit more cream, butter, garlic, and cheese. Next time, I will try it with fat free half and half and less butter to make it a little more healthy. This would be good with grilled chicken as many others suggest. Restaurant quality taste in my opinion.
very good pasta, I made one change I used sliced fresh mushrooms instead just because I prefer their flavor in pastas and I had some I wanted to use
This was amazing! The only sounds we heard while eating was "mmmmmmm"!
This is more like alfredo with bacon. Carbonara is made with bacon, eggs and parmesan cheese. Even if this tastes wonderful, like alfredo does, it's NOT the same as carbonara.

After a wild start to today's Watkins Glen NASCAR race, the action has settled down for now as the drivers have just completed lap 20 of 90.
Kyle Busch currently leads the race, but he hasn't made his pit stop yet; most other drivers have. Race favorite Marcos Ambrose led for awhile, but had some help from Kurt Busch to get the lead.
Ambrose's teammate, AJ Allmendinger, immediately took the lead from pole-sitter Kyle Busch at the start of the race. Busch's brother, Kurt, spun himself out while trying to pass Dale Earnhardt Jr. and had to make a pit stop for flat tires.
When Busch came back onto the track, he was in between leader Allmendinger and Ambrose. But when Busch drove into a corner harder than Allmendinger, the lapped No. 22 car booted the race leader and sent him through the grass.
That allowed Ambrose to take the lead while an infuriated Allmendinger vowed payback on his team radio.

In this edition of Gold and Blue Now Bob Huggins talks about what he had done wrong with this year's team, Juwan Staten says this team doesn't have the mental toughness to be a good defensive team and Mike Carey says his team has to win 3 out of the next 4 games to be feel good about the NCAA Tournament.
sac lancel
It match pretty nicely perfectly into a few switching boxes, so we loaded it over the truck not to mention left. sac lancel http://www.saclancelpascher.org/lancel-premier-flirt-c-1.html
Forgot one thing: Our Lady Mountaineers deserve our praise and support for their season. Really hope they can finish strong an get into the NCAA's. You go girls!
Coach Huggins isn't the only person who misjudged this team. What a reality check, but I appreciate his honesty.
Telling words from Staten about the mentality of this team on defense. Makes me wonder if this indicates an attitude by some players who mistakenly believed they didn't have to work harder to perform better on this level. Coach addressed this earlier this season when he talked about some of the guys not putting in extra work before/after practice.
Telling then; telling now.

Yesterday I shared the inspiring story of nurse and 5th generation fiber artist Paula White. In addition to weaving with yarn and thread, she also weaves with words. She has degrees in writing and a unique way of telling her story. Like many writers, she is also an avid reader. I wanted to share today some of her thoughts about writing and crafting along with some terrific book recommendations she has shared for people who are interested in the health benefits of crafting.
Writers Can Use Crafting
One of the things that Paula mentioned to me that I totally agree with is that writers often use crafts to help them get unstuck in their writing. I definitely use crochet as what seems like a distraction but is actually a way to allow the mind to drift and daydream and work the writing out. Paula says:
"Plot lines smooth themselves out while doing your crafts. Just ask Alice Walker, Maya Angelou and Nikki Giovanni … not to mention the new wave of textile artists who are writers including Ann Hood, Kate Jacobs, Emilie Richards and Debbie MacComber."
One of the books that White mentioned to me was Quilting Lessons: Notes from the Scrap Bag of a Writer and Quilter by Janet Catherine Berlo. Amazon describes it: "In the middle of a successful academic career, art historian Janet Catherine Berlo found herself literally at a loss for words. A severe case of writer's block forced her to abandon a book manuscript midstream; she found herself quilting instead. Scorning the logic, planning, and order of scholarship and writing, she immersed herself in freewheeling patterns and vivid colors. For eighteen months she spent all day, every day, quilting. This book penetrates to the very heart of women's lives, focusing on their relationships to family and friends, to work, to daily tasks. It is a search for meaning at midlife, a search for an integration of career and creativity."
Book Recommendations
Paula shared with me the following book list for people who are interested in a variety of different stories about how crafting of all kinds can be healing. Many of these are specifically for quilters but crafters of all kinds can appreciate them, of course. And if you're interested specifically in how crochet heals you might want to check out my own book, Crochet Saved My Life: The Mental and Physical Health Benefits of Crochet.
A Feather For My Wing: A Life Lost, A Life Regained by Marilyn Carpenter. Amazon's description: "This is an incredible true story of healing and rehabilitation after a devastating stroke. Marilyn Carpenter was an active, vivacious person and successful professional educator until she had a stroke. She tells the story of her recovery in her own ineffable way, explaining her journey back to mental and physical health and describing in detail the emotional roller coaster that brought her back to living as a whole, functional, fulfilled person again."
A Life in Stitches: Knitting My Way through Love, Loss, and Laughter by Rachael Herron. From Amazon: "In these 20 heartfelt essays, Rachael Herron celebrated romance novelist by day, 911 dispatcher by night, and founder of the hugely popular blog Yarnagogo.com shows how when life unravels there's always a way to knit it back together again, many times into something even better."
Art Against the Odds: From Slave Quilts to Prison Paintings by Susan Goldman Rubin. Amazon says: "Children and adults alike find comfort in making things, but never has the act of creating been so poignant as when it is done during times of duress, such as in concentration camps and prisons, during extreme drought and poverty, or while battling mental illness. In this fascinating collection, Susan Goldman Rubin has captured the essence of creating as a way to momentarily escape horrible circumstances."
Awakening to the Spirit World: The Shamanic Path of Direct Revelation by Sandra Ingerman. "The art of the shamanic journey–a time-tested meditative method for experiencing important piritual lessons and truths."
Black Threads by Kyra E. Hicks. "One million African Americans spend approximately $118 million annually on quilting. Some believe that recent studies of oral histories telling of the role quilting played in the Underground Railroad have inspired African Americans to take up their fabric and needles, but whatever the reason, quilters like Faith Ringgold, Clementine Hunter, Winnie McQueen, and many others are keeping the African American traditions of quilting alive."
Cheaper Than Therapy: Joy, healing and life lessons in fiber by Annie Modesitt. "28 Essayists discuss the positive impact that knitting, crochet, spinning & all fiber in general have had on their lives. Funny, touching, moving and inspirational, this collection reaches into the soul."
A Communion of the Spirits: African-American Quilters, Preservers, and Their Stories by Roland L. Freeman. "A Communion of the Spirits represents the first national survey of African-American quiltmakers. It is also a personal record of how Roland L. Freeman's life has intertwined with the world of quiltmaking for almost sixty years–"as an African-American male; as a child who was deeply influenced by the cultural traditions and magical powers of quilts; and, for more than three decades, as a photographer and folklorist.""
Crafted Lives: Stories and Studies of African American Quilters by Patricia A. Turne and Kyra E. Hicks. "Turner profiles quilters who exemplify the range of black women and men dedicated to the making of quilts, and she shows how their craftwork establishes order and meaning in their lives."
Crafts and Creative Media in Therapy by Carol Tubbs and Margaret Drake. "Engagement in crafts and other creative activities is making a comeback as an established method in the occupational therapy rehabilitation process. With the profession promoting a return to purposeful activity and "occupation" as key components of treatment, the Fourth Edition of Crafts and Creative Media in Therapy will continue to be a leading resource."
Creating Eden: The Garden As A Healing Space by Marilyn Barrett. "Creating Eden is Marilyn Barrett's evocative meditation on gardening as a tool for self-exploration and natural healing. Here the principles of psychology and ecological gardening are combined to create a helpful guide to achieving serenity and balance."
Horticulture as Therapy: Principles and Practice by Sharon Simson and Martha Straus. "Did you know that plants and plant products can be used to improve people's cognitive, physical, psychological, and social functioning? Well, they can, and Horticulture as Therapy is the book to show you how!"
Local Color by William Ferris. Google Books description: "Interviews with Mississippi folk artists describe why and how they work at painting, sculpting, needlework, quilting, and making fifes, baskets, and other items."
Open Your Heart with Quilting: Mastering Life through Love of the Patches by Kelly Smith. "Open Your Heart with Quilting will also assist readers in understanding that quilting allows them to connect with family and community, carry on traditions of the past, help them heal from illness or grief, help them celebrate milestones in their life, explore their creativity, deepen their spiritual connection to the universe, and leave a legacy for generations to come."
Sew Wild: Creating With Stitch and Mixed Media by Alisa Burke. "Sew Wild liberates you! Enjoy unlimited freedom to color, pattern, and customize your own fabric with fun, spectacular results."
Stitching a Revolution: The Making of an Activist by Cleave Jones and Jeff Dawson. "From the frontlines of one of the greatest human struggles of our time comes this powerful and moving tale. Both an important cultural history of the AIDS crisis and an intimate personal memoir, Stitching a Revolution is the story of a man who, besieged by discrimination, death, and despair, found the courage and strength of spirit to conceive and create a unique healing vision-the AIDS Memorial Quilt."
Using Textile Arts and Handcrafts in Therapy with Women: Weaving Lives Back Together by Ann Futterman Collier. "Art-making with fabrics and fibres is a natural and creative method of self-expression and can enrich the healing process. This book is a complete guide to using textiles in therapy with female clients."
Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. "Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women."
Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing by Dr. Christiane Northrup. A classic women's health and wellbeing text.
Zen And The Art Of Knitting: Exploring the Links Between Knitting, Spirituality, and Creativity by Bernadette Murphy and also Zen And the Art of Needlecraft by Sandra Detrixhe

I'm compiling a more comprehenisve list of books that discuss various ways to heal through craft and art. If you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them! Share in the comments or use the contact tab above to let me know.

On 02-18-13, at approximately 1341 hours, dispatch informed San Juan County Sheriff's Deputies that a female wanted to receive a phone call. Deputies were told that the woman was worried about her brother, Cesar Enriquez, age 23 of Farmington NM, who was reportedly very angry and might hurt himself. She said he was not acting or thinking rationally. Enriquez was last seen leaving the area of County Road 5472 in a tan GMC Jimmy with a turquoise license plate.
At approximately 1414 hours, dispatch notified deputies that a female had arrived at the emergency room with stab wounds. It was determined that the two incidents were related. Deputies learned that the victim, Ana Marin-Solis, age 22 of Farmington, had sustained some lacerations including one on the right side of her neck and one on the inside of her right forearm. Initial reports were that the suspect might be heading to Albuquerque. However, information was obtained from the suspect's sister that he was out in the hills south of County Road 5500.
The San Juan County Sheriff's Office helicopter was called out to start searching for the suspect's vehicle. Pilot Rob Gross and Tactical Flight Officer (TFO) JJ Roberts located the vehicle, a pewter-colored Chevrolet Blazer, south of the area of County Road 5510 and County Road 5512. The suspect had driven to an area off of County Road 5512 by following a two-track road and then traveled up a wash.
TFO Roberts guided several ground units to the suspect's location. SJC Deputies were led in behind the vehicle, while other SJC Deputies (including Deputy Joe Templeton) and New Mexico State Police officer Gerald Todacheene were led into an area just west of the suspect's location. As all closed in on the suspect, he fled the vehicle on foot. Enriquez ran in a northwesterly direction and was taken into custody soon afterward by Deputy Templeton and Officer Todacheene.
The victim was treated and released for non-life threatening injuries. Detectives were called out to assist in the investigation.
Enriquez was charged with: Attempted murder in the first degree; Kidnapping; Aggravated burglary; Interference with communications; Criminal damage to property of a household member ($1000 or less).

An Albany woman is dedicating her time to conquering a 100 mile bike ride. Melinda Greenfield says, she's been preparing for a century bike run for quite a while.
Once biking season begins, she'll grab her helmet and hit the course. Greenfield trains year around for triathlons, but this year she decided to focus on completing in the 100 mile bike ride.
"They aren't really races they're just a ride, its not like your trying to beat a particular time or anything like that, it's more about completing the miles," said Century ride hopeful Melinda Greenfield.
She's hasn't decided which race she's going to compete in yet.

In the 2014-15 academic year, The Common Application is used for undergraduate admissions by over 500 colleges and universities. Only schools that evaluate applications holistically are allowed to use the common application; that is, the admissions staff must take into consideration things like letters of recommendation and the application essay. If a college bases admission solely on GPA and test scores, they can not be members of the Common Application. Nearly all top colleges and top universities use the Common Application.
The Common Application covers several areas: personal data, educational data, standardized test information, family information, academic honors, extracurricular activities, work experience, a personal essay, and criminal history. Financial aid information needs to be handled on the FAFSA.
Starting in 2013 with CA4, the newest version of the Common Application, the paper version of the application is being phased out and all applications will be submitted electronically through the Common Application website. The online application allows you to create different versions of the application for different schools, and the website will also keep track of the different application requirements for the different schools to which you are applying.
Many schools will ask for a supplemental essay to complement the essay you write on one of the five personal essay options provided on the Common Application. Many colleges will also ask for a short answer essay on one of your extracurricular or work experiences. These supplements will be submitted through the Common Application website.

Authorities in Nashville and Memphis are seeking a man previously convicted of murder after police say he shot his girlfriend and her three daughters Friday at an apartment complex in the Madison area north of Nashville.
Earnest Woodley, also known as Earnest Moore, 39, is wanted in connection to the shooting, and police said Woodley has a previous conviction for second-degree murder in the 1990s in Shelby County in addition to several other assault and drug arrests.
Investigators say Woodley and his girlfriend, Nicole Luke, were preparing to move back to Shelby County when they first stopped Friday afternoon at the Brinkhaven Apartments, located at 135 Brinkhaven Ave., to say goodbye to a relative.
Some kind of argument then broke out, and Woodley allegedly shot Luke and her twin 14-year-old daughters inside an apartment. Police said he then shot Luke's 15-year-old daughter as she sat outside in an SUV.
Police said Saturday that the victims continue to recover from their wounds, and that one of the teens has been discharged from the hospital. The remaining three victims remain in stable condition at Vanderbilt Medical Center.
"First, I heard two gunshots - me and my mom did - so we looked out the window and we heard the other four gunshots. We went outside and saw the man running past our house, so we went over here to see what had happened and we saw the car. There was a lady in the front seat and all the windows had been shot out," said witness Courtney Hiles.
Woodley then fled the scene, and police said he was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt, blue shorts and was barefoot. He is 5'11" and weighs 190 pounds, and police said he should be considered armed and dangerous.
Police are using K-9 officers and the department's helicopter to search the area for Woodley. Anyone who sees him is urged to immediately call police at 862-8600.
Woodley is wanted on four counts each of attempted homicide and aggravated assault.
Three other children who were at the scene - two boys and a girl - were not harmed in the shooting.
Woodley's Nashville arrest history, under the last name Moore, consists of driving on a suspended license, resisting arrest, handgun possession, criminal trespass and misuse of vehicle registration charges.
Woodley (Moore) has multiple felony convictions in Shelby County for offenses including second degree murder, aggravated assault and cocaine possession.
His parole expired in 2010, police said.
