ELKHART — Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney Curtis T. Hill Jr. announced Friday afternoon the murder charge against Lana Canen has been dropped due to insufficient evidence.
Canen was convicted of the Thanksgiving Day 2002 murder of Helen Sailor at the Waterfall High Rise apartments in Elkhart. The prosecutor alleges that Sailor was killed during a robbery.
A centerpiece against Canen at the 2005 trial was fingerprint examination performed by Dennis Chapman, a detective with the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department.
During preparation for the August post-conviction hearing for Canen, Chapman reviewed the evidence that he had previously identified as Canen's fingerprint. Following this review Chapman acknowledged that he had been wrong in his assertion that the print had matched Canen's, the prosecutor said.
Canen had been accused of being an accomplice in the beating, robbery and murder of Sailor. Canen's codefendant Andrew Royer was also convicted in the murder of Sailor and is currently serving a 55-year sentence.
Elkhart County prosecutor Curtis T. Hill Jr. said in a Sept. 28 statement that opinions changed on the validity of the conviction when Detective Dennis Chapman with the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department changed his position on a fingerprint he previously matched to Canen.
Chapman said he reviewed the photographs of the fingerprints in preparation for an Aug. 16 post-conviction hearing for Canen. He determined that the fingerprint found on a pill bottle at the scene did not match Canen's fingerprints, according to the release.
"After learning of Detective Chapman's change in his opinion and a review of the evidence presented to the jury, I no longer consider Detective Chapman's testimony at trial to be credible," Hill said in a press release on Sept. 28. "As it is reasonable to believe that the jury relied upon Detective Chapman's testimony in considering the evidence against her, it is clearly in the best interest of justice that the murder conviction against Lana Canen be vacated as we continue to re-evaluate the evidence and Canen's role in the murder of Helen Sailor.
"We do not take this action lightly. While it is our responsibility to secure convictions when we believe it is right and just to do so, it is never right for us to preserve a conviction when to do so would not be just nor right."
Now more than a month later, Hill made his announcement about dropping the murder charge.
Information will be updated later today.

Wine Bar
At the roundbout near UniEuro turn towards Salea (left, coming from Colletta), and then take the second turning on the left almost at the top of the little hill, opposite a large entrance to a warehouse site. Going along this tiny lane you'll immediately see the solitary tower straight ahead, surrounded by cypress trees and a vineyard - in which you park!
This estate is owned by Sartori, a local wine producer (not to be confused with the larger producer of the same name in the Venice region), and the staff are family members. They can speak English, and are very welcoming.
The range of Sartori wines is available plus a few other local ones, and you can buy bottles to take away. There are also other items such as chocolates and jars of artichoke hearts, etc.

I've posted before about how the Sony-backed Blu-Ray format was kicking the butt of the Toshiba-supported HD DVD format in the next-generation DVD war, but perhaps it really is too premature to pick a winner.
Blu-Ray has a lot going for it, including a better roster of sponsors and a built-in install base with the Playstation 3 video game console. Video chain Blockbuster is also vouching for it, as are Target stores in the United States. And as simplistic as it seems, Blu-Ray also has a much better name than its rival, which makes for better marketing. What's most telling about how the war is going, however, is simple presence on store shelves. I walked into a Best Buy last week and was immediately confronted with a wall of Blu-Ray movies. The HD DVD titles were furtively hidden around the corner. Blu-Ray titles also outnumbered HD DVD releases by about two to one. The ratio is even worse in my local (non-Blockbuster) video store, which stocks only a handful of HD DVD films but a healthy contingent of Blu-Ray.
The x-factor in this battle, however, is porn. As numerous media outlets are pointing out, VHS won the battle over Betamax because the porn industry chose it. Sony has thus far resisted allowing porn on Blu-Ray, ceding the key U.S. market to HD DVD. That could be a very costly mistake. I've said in previous posts that the HD DVD camp was fighting what looks like a very half-hearted war, but perhaps they're actually fighting it far smarter than is immediately apparent.

By Julie Huss and James Niedzinski firstname.lastname@example.com
---- — Residents prepared for the worst and hoped for the best.
Sandy brought some of both when she swept in Monday, a year to the day after more than 30 inches of snow fell on the region, leaving residents in the dark for days.
For some, especially in Londonderry, it was a painful reminder of feeling powerless.
Public Service of New Hampshire said Londonderry was one of the hardest hit towns and it could take days before all customers had power restored.
But, many said, it could have been worse.
"We had a long preparation time," Londonderry fire Chief Kevin MacCaffrie said. "People in no way, shape or form were taken surprise by this. They stayed off the roads and that helped."
School buses were off the road. Both school districts canceled classes Monday and Tuesday.
In Derry, police Capt. Vernon Thomas said experience paid off.
"We made out better than we thought," he said. "We had significant winds, but we have experience dealing with those winds."
Communication can be key in a town's response to a major storm.
MacCaffrie said the fire department made good use of its Twitter account and emergency text messaging.
In addition, officials warned residents on Brookview Drive and Parmenter Road of possible flooding before the storm hit, he said.
Sandy generated fewer calls than last year's October snowstorm, MacCaffrie said. The fire department received 78 calls, compared to more than 150 last year, he said.
ALERT, A Londonderry Emergency Response Team, had about 20 members on standby if the regional shelter at Londonderry High School was needed, according to ALERT vice president Colleen Monks. But the shelter never opened, although more than a dozen were available statewide.
For once, Gerald and Dorothy Gulezian of Brookview Drive in Londonderry did not have to pump out their basement.
"It's nothing short of miraculous," Gerald Gulezian said. "We had water pumps, generators, flashlights and batteries at the ready; we needed none of it."
The Gulezians, like many other Brookview residents, have had their home flooded time and time again during storms.
But the only damage the Gulezians got from Sandy were some trash barrels strewn about.
In Derry, the waters of Beaver Lake remained calm.
Conservation Commission Chairman Margie Ives lives near the lake on Field Road. She said the lake and her home fared well.
"We had some limbs come down, nothing major," she said. "We were lucky and so were my neighbors."
Ives remembered last year's October snowstorm.
"It was very different, let me tell you," she said.
Derry Salvation Army officials were on standby throughout the storm, but had little to do.
"And that's a good thing," Salvation Army Lt. Chris Williams said.
Last year at this time, Williams said, he and his volunteers spent a lot of time going back and forth between regional shelters, providing food, drinks and emotional care to those impacted by the storm.
"Last year, it was a little bit crazy," he said. "It was a lot easier this year; we didn't even lose power."
Williams said Salvation Army volunteers in this area may be called upon to go south and help in areas harder hit.
Londonderry residents Phil and Heather Cleobury didn't think much of the storm. Phil Cleobury is originally from England, his wife from Canada.
"It was a bit over-hyped," Phil Cleobury said.
The two lost power for a short time and were impressed with the response time by cleanup crews and line workers.
"Somebody had their act together," he said. "It was well planned."
Thomas credited utilities for giving people good information about the storm before it hit.
"They did a lot of (preliminary) work to let people know what to expect," he said.
Having schools closed helped, too, he said.
"That kept a lot of traffic off the roads and away from hazard areas," Thomas said.
In Londonderry, police Chief and acting Town Manager William Hart said the cleanup had been "slow, but steady."
Sections of Auburn Road and Route 28 in town were the slowest to be reopened, Hart said.
Town officials and PSNH employees worked diligently to restore power to the town, he said, and calls to the police station were kept to a minimum.
"It's difficult to prepare for a 1,000-year event," Hart said.


text: Eugene McGuinness (born 1985 in London, England) is a British singer-songwriter and frontman of Eugene + the Lizards. Swaggering yet soulful, anthemic but sonically experimental, The Invitation To The Voyage is the second full-length album from the 26-year-old Londoner and his most fully realised artistic statement to date. Recorded with the dual assistance of producers Clive Langer (Elvis Costello, Morrissey, Madness) and Dan Carey (MIA, Hot Chip, Santigold), 'The Invitation' is a bombastic, brave update on a distinctly English strand of guitar-pop songwriting that celebrates the beautiful and the bizarre in modern life.

Despite the absence of Brandon Davies, the BYU Cougars have been able to make a run to the final of the 2011 Mountain West Conference basketball tournament on the back of some stellar performances by Jimmer Fredette. He dropped 52 against New Mexico and put up a solid 30 points tonight, but he got little help from his teammates as San Diego State coasted to an emphatic 72-54 victory. Aztecs forwards Billy White and Kawhi Leonard both hit 20 points and were both fantastic on the glass.
BYU shot 25% from behind the arc as a team, which was probably their biggest undoing. Though, only having one player other than Fredette in double figures and getting out-rebounded probably didn't help either. With their win, San Diego State all but locked themselves into a No. 2 seed and has forced the committee into giving them serious consideration as a No. 1 seed. Based on the heavy nature of this loss and the absence of Davies, BYU, once a possible No. 1 seed, could see themselves drop below the No. 3 line.

What Growing Old Can Do
it's got to have feeling to mean anything
These lines come three songs into Feeling Mortal, as Kristofferson sings "Bread for the Body" (purchase/download). Even though they seem to be buried a little bit under the surface, they're like a seed planted in spring, and they spend the rest of the album coming true.
Mortality is a lofty topic for a collection of songs, but if anyone's up for the task, it's Kris Kristofferson. This is a guy who, when he was barely more than 30 years old, summed it all up with the line, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." At 76, he grapples with life's promises and defeats through the lens of the aging man in the mirror. That the whole disc starts out with Kristofferson gazing in the mirror at the old man he's become, is no small coincidence. The older we get, the more baggage and responsibilities, the less time we have for self-reflection, the easier it is for time to surprise us with its age and mortality.
Kristofferson, meanwhile, meets the rumination with everything from defiance ("You Don't Tell Me What to Do") to schoolboy flirtation ("The One You Chose"). Of course, there's a good old-fashioned story-song about a ship on the seas - "Castaways" (purchase/download) - thrown in for good measure. It doesn't take much digging to find the metaphor in that one, but Kristofferson doesn't seem worried about verging on cliche, so the song never crosses that line.
A Master at Work
It may seem odd to return to one of his most popular old songs when discussing his newest piece of work, but the album in question here seems to recognize the holistic nature of the music itself. Kristofferson doesn't monkey around here with saccharine poetry or any attempt to remain of the moment. Sure, it starts with seeing things as they are, but then his vision pans out to see where "things as they are" fit into the bigger picture.
Sooner or later I'll be leaving / I'm a winner either way, he sings on the title track, as though to say it doesn't matter the when of anything. Only that it ever once was.

Jay Vavricek pledges to move "onward and upward", as he announces he will seek a third term as mayor of Grand Island.
Vavricek intends to file for office on Thursday. He was first elected in 2002, but chose to run for Congress in 2006. He was elected mayor for a second time in 2010, after Margaret Hornady held the office for four years.
Vavricek cited a long list of accomplishments in his campaign announcement, increasing the city's cash reserve and putting more police on the streets. In addition, Hall County has added 1,627 new jobs and $92 million more in wages paid during his current term.
"Over the last four years Grand Island and its residents have much to be proud of. Despite our challenges – we faced them with courage, faith, forgiveness and a willingness to work together," he said.
Relocation of the Veterans Home is an issue he said he will continue to work on.
He said, "Difficult situations tend to test our ability to move forward. That is why we have not given up on our Veterans or the place they have called home for the last 126 years. As mayor, I will not let these challenges define us but instead have taken them as an opportunity to learn, grow and build on for the future. There is no doubt any setbacks we have experienced have been far outweighed by our accomplishments."
But it has also been a tumultuous four year term. Vavricek was reprimanded by the city council the form of a censure, and the target of a recall campaign that failed to get enough signatures.
He was also picked up for driving under the influence. He entered a no contest plea for reckless driving in the case.
For his part, Vavricek said he is moving "onward and upward."
He said, "Grand Island is stronger, bolder and wiser than we were four years ago. Our experiences have made us better, but there is unfinished business of perfecting our community and building a better Grand Island. Starting today, we can finish the work that needs to be done."
NTV News will have more reaction from Vavricek tonight.

OMG why are Luffy and Goku playing GO? Never in a million episodes could either of them have the brain capacity to play that game! Especially with Luffy winning! LOL!!! That makes the picture much more funny though!
Coloured version of my pic from my last post:
Feel free to comment it!
I wonder who would win a Go! match.... thinks of Goku^^
I like that Mr 1 he looks mean.

Harry Hagopian—Christian-Muslim relations: all in this together?
Some readers might perhaps not be aware that Princess Badiya hails from the Jordanian Royal Hashemite Family and that she supports practical work to promote inter-faith and cross-cultural understanding. Moreover, her father - HRH Prince Hassan Bin Talal of Jordan - is one of the towering figures in interreligious dialogue and perhaps also one of the foremost thinkers across the world.
The talk was both encouraging and vivifying. Speaking 'simply' as a Muslim woman, and bringing into it her own vignettes and stories as well as her sense of discernment, humour and infectious laughter, Princess Badiya's paper was - perhaps not unexpectedly - strongly supportive of Christian-Muslim dialogue as she enumerated a host of reasons why the followers of those two great monotheistic traditions should talk to each other rather than at each other. But she was also disarmingly candid about the negative stereotypes of Islam in the West: some of them fomented by the rapacious attitudes of extremist Muslims whose deeds or words colour negatively a global religion that is neither monolithic nor homogeneous.
Read it all.

New England Patriots
Jerod Mayo - #51 - LB
|6' 1"/ 250 lbs.
|Hampton, VA
|Years played
|2008, 1st round, 10th pick by Patriots
Bledsoe voted into Patriots Hall of Fame
Former NFL QB Drew Bledsoe has been voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, the team announced on Monday.
RB Ridley, the Patriots' forgotten pick, ready to contribute
The Patriots used the 73rd overall pick to take RB Stevan Ridley, their second back selected in the draft. Ridley's name was lost in the shuffle when QB Ryan Mallett was chosen next at No. 74.
Patriots No. 9 pick scouting report: DB Malcolm Williams, TCU
The Patriots spent their final pick of the 2011 draft on another defensive back, Malcolm Williams, who admitted he was surprised to get the call.
Patriots place focus on long term
One year after drafting a class that contributed right away, Bill Belichick went with purely developmental prospects in 2011.
Patriots comfortable with pass rushers on roster
It was pretty much a consensus that a pass-rushing defensive end or outside linebacker would be high on the Patriots' priority list heading into the draft, but clearly, Bill Belichick didn't view it that way.
Patriots No. 8 pick scouting report: OLB Markell Carter, Central Arkansas
It took until their eighth pick, and the 29th pick of the sixth round before the Patriots addressed their need for an edge rusher by drafting Markell Carter out of Central Arkansas.
Patriots No. 7 pick scouting report: TE Lee Smith, Marshall
The Patriots drafted another player who will develop and likely not see the field much in 2011, Marshall TE Lee Smith.
Patriots No. 6 pick scouting report: OT Marcus Cannon, TCU
The Patriots made another value pick by drafting Marcus Cannon in the fifth round, a player who was once projected to go late in the first round.
Ask the experts: Best trade of the draft's first two days
PFW editors offer their take on the team that made the best trade in the first three rounds of the 2011 NFL draft.
Fantasy outlook: QB Ryan Mallett
One of the most surprising picks of the draft was QB Ryan Mallett heading to New England, and he won't have any fantasy value for a couple years.
Fantasy outlook: RB Stevan Ridley
Similarly to Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley could get some touches in Bill Belichick's rotating backfield, but he will be hard-pressed to get fantasy points.
Fantasy outlook: RB Shane Vereen
California's Shane Vereen gets the first shot to be a member of Bill Belichick's split backfield in New England, which automatically diminishes his fantasy value.
A stunning pick, but Mallett makes a ton of sense for Patriots
Ryan Mallett's slide through the draft ended with the Patriots, and Bill Belichick may have completed another Draft Day steal.
Patriots make third trade; get Raiders' '12 second-round pick
The Patriots made their third trade of the 2011 NFL draft, trading their third- and fourth-round picks this year for the Raiders' 2012 second-round pick.
Patriots No. 5 pick scouting report: QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
The Patriots made maybe the draft's biggest surprise by taking Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett with the 74th overall pick.
Mayo is practicing again but is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Ravens.||||||| Mayo, last year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, practiced for the first time Friday since straining right knee ligaments in New England's season opener. He had limited participation in the practice after missing two games.
A linebacker who was the 10th overall pick in the draft, Mayo signed a five-year contract on Thursday after flying to Foxborough early in the morning. The Patriots' first practice of training camp started at 8:30 a.m., which meant no Mayo.||||||| With Mayo and fellow draft pick Shawn Crable in camp, the Patriots could get a lot younger in the middle of their defense. But first, Mayo said, he wants to learn what he can from the veterans around him.

SALISBURY, Md. - Wicomico County officials are investigating apparent assassination attempts on several police officers along the Eastern Shore.
Officials say there have been three similar cases since last week involving a Wicomico County police officer, a Worcester County police officer and a Delaware State Trooper.
All three shootings reportedly happened between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. at the private homes of each officer. Two shootings happened in Eastern Salisbury earlier this morning. One shooting happened last week in Western Sussex Co.
Police say each case is related at this time because each house had a marked police car at the officers' home.
There have been no reported injuries and the suspects are unknown at this time.
Police are taking additional precautionary measures, but are no specifying at what extent.
Officials are asking for the public's help as they continue to investigate and if you have any information on suspects or the case, the number for the Wicomico County Bureau of Investigation is 410-548-4891.

NAB to launch new multi-currency pre-paid card
Wednesday, 11 April 2012 09:32
National Australia Bank (NAB) is launching a new multi-currency pre-paid card that will allow customers to load up to 10 currencies on the one card and lock in exchange rates before they travel.
And unlike other travel cards of the major banks, NAB will not charge its customers fees for using ATMs overseas.
Available at any NAB store in Australia from Monday 23 April, NAB Traveller Card will provide customers with greater security and flexibility to manage their money when travelling.
Serg Premier, NAB General Manager Deposits, said NAB is committed to helping customers manage their money more effectively with new products and services that are relevant to their individual needs.
"NAB Traveller Card has been designed around what our customers want and unlike the travel cards offered by the other major banks, NAB won't charge its customers fees for using ATMs overseas," said Serg.
With record numbers of Australians travelling overseas, the NAB Traveller Card will make it easy for customers to manage their money quickly and securely.
"Customers will be able to lock in exchange rates before they travel and know exactly how much money they have in the local currency to spend while they're away," said Serg.
Customers can easily manage their Card online by registering their Card details at www.nab.com.au/travelcard to check transaction history and Card balances.
Customers can also conveniently reload their Card using BPAY® or at any NAB store.
The NAB Traveller Card will become NAB's newest travel solution for customers.
NAB's Gold Banking transaction account has previously been NAB's premium travel product, however, from 10 August 2012, the overseas access fees on the NAB Gold Banking and NAB Gold Banking-Choice transaction accounts will be amended.
NAB will be contacting relevant customers with details of changes to NAB Gold Banking shortly.
Existing Gold Banking customers who are thinking about travelling can consider the NAB Traveller Card.

Sore wrist to keep Morse out of Nats' lineup
Slugger slated to undergo tests on Wednesday in New York
NEW YORK -- Nationals outfielder Michael Morse will miss a few games because of a sore left wrist. He is expected to get an MRI and X-rays on Wednesday.
Morse played Tuesday against the Mets, going 0-for-5 and seeing his batting average go down to .285. Morse said he has been playing with the wrist injury for at least a month. Morse originally hurt the hand while playing against the Giants in San Francisco.
"I'm not helping the team when I'm not 100 percent. I'm not helping myself either," Morse said. "I'm going to get it looked at the next couple of days and get down to the bottom of it -- try to get back to 100 percent.
"I'm not worried. It's just good to know -- precautionary. I just want to get something going from here, because I'm sick of hurting the team."
With Morse out, manager Davey Johnson will either start Roger Bernadina or Tyler Moore in left field against the Mets on Wednesday.

When he was discharged from the Navy, Frank went to work for Hayes International, followed by Barber Dairy and Electrical Repair and Service Company before forming his own business, Industrial Apparatus.

Frank loved fishing with his family and friends as well as cheering on his favorite team, the Alabama Crimson Tide. He was a member of Westwood Baptist Church in Adamsville where he came to know the Lord at the age of 64, after many years of tireless prayers from his family and friends from Westwood and special deacons, B.F. Atkins and Sterling Pritchett.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William Albert and Fannie Mitchell Glenn; his brothers, Gevon Glenn, Charles Glenn and Chesley Mitchell; and sisters, Ruth Ramsey and Sybil Holcombe.
Frank is survived by his wife of 55 years, Mary Pike Glenn, who has tirelessly cared for and loved him, a wonderful example of a Godly virtuous woman whose price is far above rubies. He is also survived by his children, Terry Franklin Glenn, David Gevon Glenn and special friend Jacinta, Pat Glenn Nelson (Mark) and Randy Eugene Glenn (Brandi); grandchildren, David Franklin Glenn, Rusty Delano Glenn, Amanda Ellen Nelson, Abby Camille Nelson, Ashley Brooke Nelson, Rebecka Elizabeth Glenn, Jacob Zachary Glenn, Nathanial Regan Glenn and David Franklin Glenn (Tera); great-grandchildren, Gabie Kate Glenn and Mary Ella Glenn; as well as sister, Judy Cockerham; and sisters-in-law, Janet Glenn and Raye Glenn.

Granada Theater
241 South Main,
Salt Lake City,
1 person favorited this theater
The Granada Theater, located at 241 South Main, in Salt Lake City, opened sometime around 1918 and was later renamed the American. In addition to its balcony, the theater was known to have an upstairs ballroom.
The Granada was later converted into office or retail space, and eventually demolished.
Recent comments (view all 5 comments)
Could this have become the W.T. Grant downtown store? I remember years ago somebody saying that building had a ballroom upstairs, which I always thought was a strange thing for a Grant's store to have.

Save the Harry Potter Movies!!
As you all probally know lots of things were changed in the 3rd Harry Potter movie. Some for the better some for the worst. But is this a sign for worst things to come The Dursley\'s are going to be cut fromt he 4th movie and they want to make the 700+ page book into 1 2 hour movie! And whats with Hermionie\'s hair getting less bushier wih each movie and Draco\'s hair hanging all loose. Did any of you ever read about that in the book Of course not because it wasnt there. If they do that to the 4th book just think of what they will do to the 5th one. Thats why we have to speak up and tell them how we feel. After all they won\'t make money if we don\'t buy their movies or go to the theaters. So take time out to sign this petition.

Kindle not elibrary compatible!

The Kindle is locked up tighter than even an ipad. Buy a Nook if you want to borrow library books.

Have issues with that article, but if libraries and especially publishers lock things down to specific DRM, elending isn't likely to work. See how many audiobooks required various MS support flavors when everyone used iPods?
It's further complicated by Amazons lack of ePub support, but thats no solution as long as the ePub is DRM locked to specific OS variants. Nook doesn't automatically get you around these issues.
The plans to expire ebooks after 17 or 24 lends is further showing publishers fear of theft (however justified) will get in the way of their interest in libraries and the masses.

Ebooks are a great idea ... but unfortunately they do not really give the value they should.
First, with a real book you can pick it up in the store and read as much as you like everywhere. On Amazon you can read some of the first chapter or preface, and nothing on some ebooks.
When you buy the prices are very high for most ebooks. the idea that it costs anywhere near as much for an audiobook or ebook. you have no value left of the book when you are done with it. you cannot lend it, sell it or give it away. This should be a crime.
The state of the world demands that we move to things like electronic format for books and media ... so we need to have some fairness in what we get and how much we pay.

I am not here for your entertainment. A psychopath thinks on those terms that it is all about them. Since you seem to believe that it's all about you, I am curious about whether or not you have ever sought professional help and if so were you diagnosed as being a psychopath. It's all about you and your imaginary friends you create to protect you. It's a shame that you make your quality of life so inadequate when you are an abled body. It seems that an able body could do something more constructive with their life than waste so much time and energy here unless it's metal. So long; Just saying. Although it's not your 16th birthday I would like to dedicate this song to you for your altered ego.<quoted text>

Hornets dealing with low numbers
PLATTSBURGH — With 21 players on the roster and 17 eligible for tonight's game versus Moriah, Plattsburgh High football coach Jerry Defayette is behind the eight ball before one game can be played.
"It's tough because, in a sense, we don't have a lot of wiggle room," Defayette said. "We've got to be very strategic with our hitting and tackling drills, and we've also got to condition these guys. It's true ironman football. We've really got to make sure that we hit all aspects of conditioning. We've got to keep everybody healthy."
High School Sports Magazine
The Hornets lost quarterback Shawn Courson, who is sitting out his senior year due to concussions received in the past. Courson completed 22-of-59 pass attempts for 382 yards and two touchdowns in 2012.
"He's decided to kind of take his senior year off and play it safe," Defayette said. "I spoke to him, and he's not thrilled about sitting out. But he really doesn't have a choice."
Who Defayette does return under center, though, is D'Andre Lemieux.
Lemieux saw time as a signal-caller last fall, finishing with a higher quarterback rating (90.27) than Courson (85.91) with 18 fewer pass attempts.
"D'Andre Lemieux was a sophomore backup last year," Defayette said. "When Shawn went down in the Saranac game, D'Andre stepped up and called the offense for us. He's returning, and he's going to be our quarterback at least to start out. There's a little bit of a (quarterback) battle at least early on between Lemieux, Henry Sanchez and Seton Catholic student Noah Racette."
With Sean Shea (78 carries, 411 yards and one touchdowns) and Jonas Miller (99 carriers, 371 yards and two touchdowns) lost to graduation, Defayette is relying on varsity newcomers to carry the workload.
"We have Logan Harvey to help out and make contributions in the backfield," Defayette said. "We've got another sophomore that we brought up in Quran Carroll. He's real quick, and he's got pretty good speed. Nathan Hughey, who was a sophomore that we moved up last year toward the end of the season, is a good-sized kid and a pretty good athlete. He's at tight end, and he also plays on the defensive line. He's shown us some promise in practice."
Defayette, whose team is coming off a 1-7 season, said impact players will participate on both sides of the football.
"These guys aren't going to be coming off the field so Carroll, Hughey and sophomore Hunter Bell will help us out on defense," Defayette said. "The guys who are looking to carry the ball on offense are going to be key contributors on defense."
Defayette's roster includes six seniors, a significant number of juniors and three sophomores.
"As far as senior leadership, we really don't have any," Defayette said. "We have Jeff Stiffler, who played for us last year and saw some time on the field, and we have a senior who has come out to play for the very first time — Shane Powers. He's a regular in the weight room. The rest of the team is pretty inexperienced. We are young, and we are very inexperienced on the varsity level."
High school football participation numbers have gone down at select schools across the region, but Defayette hopes to use creativeness to spark interest in the program.
"We've got to have creativity on the staff's part to keep the kids motivated, keep them healthy and give them a true experience of high school football," Defayette said. "We've just got to keep them motivated moving forward.
The Hornets open with Moriah under the lights at the Plattsburgh High Athletic Complex tonight. Plattsburgh High dropped it season opener at Linney Field last year 39-12.
"Moriah is just a class-act team, and they're hard-nosed and hard-hitting," Defayette said. "We told the kids they're going to be in for a quite an introduction to varsity football (tonight). Nonetheless, I think the kids are excited about the season starting and improving each week."

"Hard to follow audio might be a better read"
I read The Passage and was engrossed. I bought the audio sequel the day it was released at audible. I had a difficult time following the story line. It jumps from past to future and back like a game of ping pong. If you lose attention for a minute you find yourself entirely confused. In a print version you can flip back to find the time transition. In audio format it's difficult.
Although I love Scott Brick, the story is just too complex with too many characters. I expect the print version would be better format to consume this book. Normally I almost always like audio more than print. After 12 hours of listening I just put aside for a later date. Maybe when I am sitting on a beach with nothing else to do I will pick it up again.
"Great thriller.. Should be on best seller list."
This is one of the best written, most suspenful books I have listened to in a long time. Quite plausible plot, great charcters, and complex plot that works quite well. At 22 hours of listening pleasure get this book. I could say more but you have to listen for yourself.
"This will not be a series like Harry Potter"
Very well written mystery book and I enjoyed it. It is the second in the series and in being so suffers from comparison. I enjoyed this one and the previous but will I continue on? No. I listen to the Prey series b John Sanford which may not be as well written but keeps me coming back for more. This series does not. It was way too redundant with the previous book (book 1). Having said that #1 and #2 in this series are pretty good.
"Really tough to follow as an audiobook"
This was a rather good book. I loved the story. It was well written. But it is one of those books that is really tough to follow as an audiobook. There are two major storylines that jump back and forth and then forward and backward in time in a single chapter. If you don't pay attention you will be lost quite quickly.
The book is good and does not end as you would expect. Read this, don't listen.
"This is all about nothing"
I bought this on a special sale for less than $5.00. No surprise why this was discounted so much. It's really about nothing. The skills you need to survive after apocalypse. Like what? Go to a high end driving school. Work as an EMT. Learn to fire a gun. What a waste of money. This book is a joke.
"Too Many Story Lines"
This book is difficult to listen to because it has too many story lines. There are three major characters and the story switches among them almost every 5 minutes in the narration, The main character, Jonothan Bourne, turns out to be a rather unlikable person who has no qualms about killing and torturing people. Not sure I really wanted to cheer him on in the book. Actually just about everyone is unlikable which makes the entire book rather "dark."
The book is not by original author, Robert Ludlum. The new author interjects his political views throughout entire book. It's mostly "America bashing".
"Three Books in One"
This is really three different books. Two of them are interesting, and I found the other not. Although it about three generations of a Texas family, following the plot in an audio version is slightly difficult. You jump between characters, eras, and story lines rather quickly. Sometimes you miss the transitions, especially near the end where the three separate story lines come together. The beginning of the book and story about being captured by Indians was the most interesting. The story about the Texas Woman Oil Barron was not. It so reminded me of the movie Giant.
"Abridged version kind of ruins it."
I love this book and found the abridged version sort of disappointing. I wish there was an unabridged one. The narration by Jeremy Irons is great though. Consequently I would recommended reading the book rather that listening to abridged version. I added it to my library because it was inexpensive and I had a $10 credit. Wish I had not.
"Davenport gone suburban dad"
You read/listen to this series for consistency. There is nothing new here. If you like the other Davenport books, you will like this one. There is really not much variation in the plot lines in these books, just a different criminal each time. You have Lucas chasing down the bad guys in his Porsche (although in this book it stays in the garage most the time), A little about his wife Heather, and in this book a little more of his step daughter who plays a larger role than previous one, but a not a huge one. There does seem to be some distancing between Lucas and his police partners (Dell, etc.) since they are hardly in the plot line. Lucas seems to be entering middle age and all the "bad boy" things are left to Virgil Flowers series. The book ends with Lucas taking his step daughter off to college. Yes middle age suburban living.
"Favorite in this series except narration"
This is the first of Department Q series and was my favorite. The exception is the narration. Some of the accents are sort of strange. So if you listen to series in order you will notice the change in narration style to the following books in the series. Each one has a different narrator which breaks up the consistency.
However the story line is really good and keeps you guessing until the end. The book starts kind of slow so you have to make it to about hour 2. Although if you listen to this series in order it may be better, but you don't have to. Each book stands on its own and there is not much rehash of old story lines. This is a good alternative to the John Nesbo Series if you like Scandinavian crime thrillers.
"Not your typical King, more of a crime thriller"
If you expecting a typical Stephen King novel this is not it. It is really is just a crime drama involving an ex cop. Not that it is a bad book,but there are no "supernatural" elements to it. It Really reminds of a John Sandford (Lucas Davenport) or a James Lee Burke novel. The latter is especially true since Will Patton typically narrates that series. So if you like either of these two series you will like this.
There is you ex cop, crazy killer, and the amateur sleuths who help the ex cop. It's a standard formula for crime thrillers. Great narration, good story line, but not your typical King like Dr Sleep, Carrrie, etc.

(Jul. 26) -- One of the biggest tragedies in the overcrowded foster care system in Clark County is that children are often separated from their brothers and sisters.
St. Jude's Ranch for Children, though, is committed to keeping large sibling groups together
For nearly 40 years, St. Jude's Ranch in Boulder City has been a refuge for abused, abandoned and neglected children in Southern Nevada like former ranch resident Danny, who is now 19.
Danny said, "I have four brothers and three sisters."
Danny was 11 years old when he and his siblings were removed from their home. His younger sisters moved in with an aunt and he and his brothers were placed at St. Jude's Ranch where being together meant everything at that troubled time in their lives.
Danny continued, "If you're apart, it's like a part of you is lost. You don't feel whole anymore."
Tony Robillard said, "That's what it's all about keeping the kids together."
Tony and Konne Robillard are family teachers at St. Jude's Ranch. They live with and care for eight young boys around the clock in one of several family cottages on the 40-acre ranch that overlooks Lake Mead.
Konne Robillard said, "It's an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to help some kid at risk. The rewards you get internally are really what it's all about."
More than half of the children at the ranch are siblings.
St. Jude's has 37 kids at its Boulder City location, but is licensed for 56.
In order to take in more children, more family teachers are needed now.
Danny said, "We need more people on the front lines fighting this battle for homeless kids. My motto is if you can help one child and make a difference in their life, than your life is worthwhile."
Danny has since moved on from St Jude's Ranch. He works and attends college and remains very close to his brothers and sisters.
For more information about St. Jude's Ranch for Children, or how to become a family teacher call 294-7138.

LLS Suncoast Volunteers Advocate for Improved Drug Approval Process
Posted by andreahgreif in The LLS Blog, 20 August 2014 · 38 views
Dr. Wayne Taylor, LLS Advocate and leukemia survivor, participates in 21st Century Cures Panel
Dr. Wayne Taylor, leukemia survivor and advocate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), on Tuesday participated in the Congressional 21st Century Cures: Patients and the Patient Perspectives Roundtable hosted by Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL). The roundtable featured advocates from various patient-centered organizations as well as an audience of constituents and patient advocates.
The 21st Century Cures is a bipartisan Congressional initiative to remove impediments to therapy approval and development.
"For me, the 21st Century Cures initiative is centered on patients. A broken discovery-development-delivery cycle impacts patients. Patients are the ones who are unable to gain access to potentially lifesaving or life-improving treatments," Rep. Gus Bilirakis of Lutz, Fla. shared.
The goal of these roundtables are to find new solutions to capitalize on the research and innovation in the healthcare space to find new cures and speed up the delivery of these cures to patients. Congressional leaders are looking to our patients and researchers to help provide recommendations and examples on how to improve the lives of our patients.
Dr. Taylor opened the roundtable by sharing his story as a survivor and LLS advocate, and provided an example of how LLS is trying to change treatment delivery for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here is an excerpt of Dr. Wayne Taylor's statement from the Roundtable:
"My perspective as a 'physician-survivor' is a little unique. There are many patients who are diagnosed with AML whose story is not as fortunate as mine, as only 20% of AML patients survive five years after diagnosis. Through my participation in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and meeting with other survivors, I've observed some key areas of opportunity to improve the development and access to cures for cancer patients. First, access to NCI designated cancer centers like Moffitt (Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla.) is an essential part of diagnosis and treatment. When insurance plans limit access to [NCI Centers], such as what is currently happening in the federal health exchanges, it means that certain patients will get to benefit from the amazing care that I did, whereas patients with insurance that is not as robust won't have that option. Second, there is room for improvement in the clinical trial matching and selection process.
Lastly, I'd encourage Congress to look to some of the amazing partnerships and models happening in the private sector for direction on ways to advance drug development. One incredible example of this is LLS's Beat AML project, which is designed to find new treatments for this disease that I battled, which hasn't seen a new standard of care in 30 years. Beat AML is a project privately funded by LLS, that partners with several cancer institutions to collect and analyze samples from 900 AML patients over the next three years."
