Hopefully, having these dates early will allow you to be available for the YM workshops, nights of prayer, retreat and the youth events that are scheduled.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy"
(Mt 5:7)
Pope John Paul II announced the institution of World Youth Day in December, 1985, as an annualgathering of youth and young adults for prayer, worship and celebration of the Catholic faith. Sincethat time, World Youth Day (WYD) has been a worldwide encounter with the Pope which is typicallycelebrated every three years in a different country. The next World Youth Day will be celebrated inKrakow, Poland from July 24, 2016-August 1, 2016!
WYD is open to all youth and young adults who want to take part in a spiritual encounter with theircontemporaries centered on Jesus Christ. This pilgrimage is an opportunity to experience in first person the universality of the Church; to share with the whole world the hope of many young people who want to commit themselves to Christ and others. WYD is a unique way to deepen one's faith and to grow closer to Christ through prayer and sacraments, together with thousands of other young people who shareThe same interests and ambitions. During the week of World Youth Day, there will be a complete cultural agenda in addition to the events with the Pope. Once released, the main events of Krakow 2016 willbe posted under the official World Youth Day site at http://www.krakow2016.com/en/.

World Youth Day - 2016 Official Prayer
God, merciful Father, in your Son, Jesus Christ, you have revealed your love and poured it out upon us in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, We entrust to you today the destiny of the world and of every man and woman. We entrust to you, in a special way young people of every language, people and nation: guide and protect them as they walk the complex paths of the world today and give them the grace to reap abundant fruits from their experience of the Krakow World Youth Day.
Heavenly Father, grant that we may bear witness to your mercy. Teach us how to convey the faith to those in doubt, hope to those who are discouraged, love to those who feel indifferent, forgiveness to those who have done wrong and joy to those who are unhappy. Allow the spark of merciful love that you have enkindled within us become a fire that can transform hearts and renew the face of the earth.
Mary, Mother of Mercy, pray for us. St. John Paul II, pray for us.
"The Poor have much to teach you .... You have much to learn from them. ... St. Vincent de Paul
Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.Pope Francis
This past year, the young people from our parish youth groups, high schools, college and young adult groups, took Pope Francis' words to heart and participated in 28 Midnight Runs. What is a Midnight Run? It's the opportunity to allow the Christ that each of us holds inside to meet the Christ in another. By serving the poor, we become one with them as Jesus did. Through these "Jesus Runs" groups bring food, clothing, conversation and hope to those who are materially poor. These Jesus runs help us to bring the Church out to the streets as we embrace those whose only experience of Church may be through the eyes an hands of those who serve them.
If you are interested in either participating in one of these runs, have your group do a sock, hoodie or backpack drive or make toiletry bags please contact Marianne Sheridan at email@example.com. I would be happy to do o presentation for your group and to help you organize your own run. Thank you for all you are doing in your youth groups to encourage our young people to be aware of the needs of others.
National Conference on Catholic Youth Ministry ("NCCYM")
What a great opportunity to be with Youth Ministers from our Diocese, to meet other Youth Ministers from across the country and to be "re-energized" and learn more about the Ministry we love! A group of Youth Ministers and myself went down to Orlando in 2013 and had a great time! Hoping to get a group together again this December. Several youth ministers have already registered ... don't wait until the last minute, there are discounts now for registration! >>> For more information and to register, please visit: nccym

Thursday, June 26 - Sunday, June 29, 2014Immaculate Conception Seminary, Huntington, NY For High School Students(entering 10th through 12th grades) TO DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMITMENTS OR DEPOSITS ... YOUTHLEADER MAY HAVE TO BE CANCELLED .. I CAN EXTEND THE DATE UNTIL FEBRUARY 10TH, BUT WILL NEED A DEFINITE COMMITMENT AND DEPOSIT IN ORDER TO BOOK THIS.
YouthLeader is a Program sponsored by the Center of Ministry Development (CMD) and is designed to empower our youth with interpersonal and communication skills necessary in the development of youth leaders. Over the past several years, the cost for the 5-day YouthLeader Program was up to $495 per person. Although a great program, the cost was definitely leaving some groups out. Keeping that in mind, we have changed the venue of the Workshop and CMD has developed a 4-day Program for our Diocese. This change will still include all of the important elements of this program, for one day less and at a cost of $215 less per person. I am hoping at the reduced cost, more groups will choose to participate. It is a great way of not only developing the leadership in your own youth groups, but also the leadership of the larger church. I realize that many of you have your own leadership training. However, what makes this program different is that it allows teens from all over Long Island to work, pray and laugh together as they learn the skills necessary for leadership. They get out of their "comfort" zone and are challenged to meet new people, have new experiences and to grow in their faith.
COST FOR YOUTH LEADERThis 4-day Training will cost $280 per person. This fee includes all materials, meals, accommodations, a YouthLeader t-shirt and a wealth of hands on knowledge to take back to their group.
If you are interested in participating in this Training, please return the following >>> registration form <<<no later than February 1, 2014Please click here for >>> flyer <<<

World Cup games and new Whitehaven stadium at risk
Last updated at 11:54, Tuesday, 17 April 2012
Fresh demands by the Recreation Ground's landlords have put a question mark against plans for a new £5.5m community stadium in Whitehaven.
An agreement between Whitehaven Miners Social Welfare – who own the access road to the proposed stadium – and partners in the venture was thought to have been reached last month, putting an end to fears that the project may be in jeopardy.
An announcement was made in March that the facility would host Scotland in 2013 World Cup games against Italy and Tonga. But no formal agreement had been signed, and talks since have not proved fruitful, with some partners in the project concerned at what they see as costly additional demands from the Miners Welfare.
Whitehaven Rugby League, Whitehaven Amateurs Football Club, Copeland Council and Britain's Energy Coast are partners in the stadium project.
It had been planned to have to have the stadium open for the start of the next RL season. But it is likely to take about nine months to build, which leaves very little room for manoeuvre if it is to be up in time for Haven's next campaign, launching around February, 2013.
Talks are ongoing and it is understood that partners are determined to push ahead with the project, even if they must find another access to Pow Beck.
The alternative for Haven is to remain at the Recre, their home since the club's launch in 1948. And with no prospect of attracting large-scale funding to redevelop the old stadium, the idea does not appeal to the club.

Phase III Results Announced for Clotting Factor Candidate in Hemophilia Patients
FDA submission expected in first half of 2013 (Oct. 31)
Results from the global phase III A-LONG trial have shown that a long-lasting recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc, Biogen Idec) was effective in the control and prevention of bleeding, in routine prophylaxis, and in perioperative management in patients with hemophilia A. The recombinant fusion protein was generally well-tolerated. Additional analyses of the A-LONG study are ongoing.
The product's manufacturer plans to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA in the first half of 2013.
A total of 165 male patients aged 12 years and older were enrolled in the study, which had three treatment arms: individualized prophylaxis (n = 118), weekly prophylaxis (n = 24), and episodic (on-demand) treatment (n = 23). In the individualized prophylaxis arm, the patients were treated with 25 to 65 IU/kg of rFVIIIFc every 3 to 5 days, which was individualized to maintain factor trough levels sufficient to prevent bleeding. In the weekly prophylaxis arm, the patients were treated with a weekly dose of 65 IU/kg. In the episodic treatment arm, the patients received rFVIIIFc as needed for bleeding. rFVIIIFc was also evaluated in the perioperative management of a subgroup of patients who required major surgical procedures. Most of the patients (93%) completed the study.
Recombinant FVIIIFc was generally well-tolerated. No inhibitors to rFVIIIFc were detected, and no cases of anaphylaxis were reported in any patients, all of whom switched from commercially available factor VIII products. The investigators determined that no serious adverse events were related to the study drug. The most common adverse events occurring outside of the perioperative management period were nasopharyngitis, arthralgia, headache, and upper respiratory tract infection.
The median annualized bleeding rates, including spontaneous and traumatic bleeds, were 1.6 in the individualized prophylaxis arm, 3.6 in the weekly prophylaxis arm, and 33.6 in the episodic-treatment arm. In the individualized prophylaxis arm, the median dosing interval was 3.5 days. During the last 3 months of the study, 30% of the patients in the individualized prophylaxis arm achieved a mean dosing interval of 5 days.
Bleeding control was assessed in all patients who experienced a bleeding episode during the study. Overall, 98% of bleeding episodes were controlled by one or two injections of rFVIIIFc.
In addition, rFVIIIFc was assessed in the perioperative management of nine patients undergoing nine major surgical procedures. The treating physicians rated the hemostatic efficacy of rFVIIIFc as good or excellent in all of these surgeries.
The A-LONG trial included a pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of rFVIIIFc. In a protocol-defined subset of patients with extensive PK sampling, the approximate terminal half-life of rFVIIIFc was 19.0 hours, compared with 12.4 hours for Advate (antihemophilic factor [recombinant], plasma/albumin-free method; Baxter), which was consistent with the results of a phase I/IIa study of rFVIIIFc.
Hemophilia A is a rare, inherited disorder in which the ability of a person's blood to clot is impaired. Hemophilia A occurs in about one in 5,000 male births annually and is caused by having substantially reduced or no factor VIII protein, which is needed for normal blood clotting. People with hemophilia A therefore need injections of factor VIII to restore the coagulation process and to prevent frequent bleeds that could otherwise lead to pain, irreversible joint damage, and life-threatening hemorrhages.
The Medical and Scientific Advisory Council of the National Hemophilia Foundation recommends prophylaxis as the optimal therapy for patients with severe hemophilia A. Prophylaxis for hemophilia A usually requires injections three times per week or every other day to maintain a sufficient circulating level of clotting factor.

- U.S. government forecasters predict a more than 65% chance for an El Niño weather phenomenon by the end of the year, a development that threatens to drive up prices for food and other staples.
- El Niño has a reputation for triggering sharp run-ups for prices in markets as diverse as nickel, coffee and soybeans, and commodities investors, traders and analysts are bracing for impact at a time when global supplies of many raw materials already are stretched.
- Global food prices - which at the start of 2014 were expected to be largely flat this year - could easily climb 15% to record highs in as a little as three months after an El Niño occurs, says World Bank economist James Baffes.
- But Société Générale analysts say it is miners, not farmers, who have the most to worry about; since 1991, nickel prices rose the most (13.9%) during El Niño years among commodities the bank tracks.

- World corn stocks of 158.47MMT is higher than last month's estimate of 157.3 and trade expectations of 156.27. Domestic ending stocks, however, are now placed at 1.456B bushels vs. 1.481 last month and trade expectations of 1.488.
- Domestic bean ending stocks of 145M bushels is down from 150 last month, but ahead of trade expectations for 141. World stocks of 70.64MMT vs. 73.01 previously and forecasts for 71.46.
- Domestic wheat ending stocks of 558M bushels compares to 558M last month and 570M forecast.
- Markets are reading the news as bearish, with corn off a nickel, beans down $0.25, and wheat off $0.02

Fri, Jan. 10, 5:08 AM
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to lift its estimate today for the 2013 corn harvest (CORN) to 14.05B bushels from a prediction in December of 13.99B bushels.
- That would make last year's output the largest in U.S. history, surpassing the crop of 13.1B bushels in 2009.
- If confirmed, the estimates are likely to add pressure to corn prices, which hit a 3 1/2 year low of $4.08 a bushel yesterday before closing at $4.12. That was still down 1.2%, with the decline also due to falling exports. Corn has dropped 2.4% this year after plummeting 40% in 2013.
- Wheat prices suffered as well yesterday from poor overseas sales, hitting a two-year low of $5.785 a bushel before recovering a bit to close -0.8% at $5.8425.

For one, the excess rains in this monsoon have substantially bolstered the storage position in major reservoirs; this should have a beneficial impact with a lag on offtake of select agrochemicals over the next couple of years. Second, stepped up investments in rural infrastructure and increased flow of farm credit is also likely to translate into higher demand for agricultural inputs.
Monsanto India is well-placed within the crop protection industry to capitalise on these opportunities. The company's focus on herbicides, an under-penetrated market, could drive revenue growth, at a time when insecticide offtake looks set to decline.
The hybrid seeds business is in the nascent stages and offers high growth potential. There is also considerable potential for the company to grow its earnings through cost savings. The company's rock-solid balance sheet, uninterrupted track record of double-digit profit growth and robust return numbers are other comfort factors associated with the stock.
Monsanto India derives the lion's share of its revenues from manufacture and marketing of crop protection chemicals and sales of (non-GM) hybrid seeds. Wheat, rice, soybean and corn are the key target crops.
The bulk of revenues from the genetically modified Bt cotton seeds accrue, not to Monsanto India, but to its 50 per cent joint venture Mahyco-Monsanto Seeds Ltd.
Monsanto India's numbers are unevenly spread between quarters on account of the seasonal operations; therefore evaluating the quarterly numbers in isolation may present an inaccurate picture. The half-year period ended September represents the kharif operations, busy season for crop protection companies. In the first half of 2005-06, the company managed a profit growth of 35 per cent to Rs 54.4 crore, despite almost flat revenues of Rs 215 crore.
This has been a challenging period for crop protection companies as the patchy monsoons of the previous year and the delayed onset of the 2005 south-west monsoon impacted agrochemical sales.
Monsanto has registered sober sales growth over this period but has managed a substantial improvement in profits, through operating margin expansion. Savings in material costs appear responsible for the bulk of the margin gains.
The outlook for crop protection companies appears brighter over the next couple of years. Excess rains in this monsoon have ramped up the areas under rice, corn and oilseeds crops. More important, the rains have recharged the major reservoirs and substantially improved the storage position across the country. This augurs well, not only for the coming rabi crop, but also for the following year.
The growing acreage under Bt cotton may reduce the offtake of insecticides catering to the cotton crop and companies focussed on this segment may have to deal with slowing sales.
The commonly used generic agrochemicals have also witnessed steadily declining margins on account of pricing pressures. However, Monsanto India will be well-placed to weather these trends.
For one, since it focusses on weed control products and targets non-cotton crops, Monsanto occupies a lucrative niche in the domestic crop protection market.
With unrestricted access to its parent's product portfolio, Monsanto's focus is on high-end formulations where it owns strong brand names. It is, thus, well-placed to capitalise on the shift in the domestic market from generic to specialty agrochemical products. Investments in extension services and brand promotions could help the company command a premium pricing for its products. Second, the seeds business, where Monsanto has brands for corn, oilseed and cotton hybrids is a nascent one with high growth potential.
The company also has room to grow its earnings through better sourcing strategies; with about 95 per cent of the basic material for formulations now sourced through imports from the parent company.
But even as it stands, the company has an enviable track record of sales and profit growth. Profits after tax have grown at double digits every year from 1999-00, helped by business integration efforts.
With the business generating substantial free cash flows, it has not had to expand its minuscule equity base (Rs 8.6 crore). The company has steadily stepped up its dividend payout from Rs 8 per share in 2001-02 to Rs 23 per share in 2004-05.
The per share earnings, based on the numbers for trailing 12 months, stand at about Rs 105. The stock, at Rs 1,584, trades at a trailing price-earnings multiple of about 15 times earnings.

Beautiful and inspirational,
This review is from: Stitch, Cloth, Shimmer & Shine (Hardcover)
Search Press and Sarah Lawrence come together with a book as full of inspiration as stunning pictures. Lawrence generously shares her techniques for using fabrics, gilding, mica, metals, adhesives, heat, fusible web, paints, markers, inks, stencils, stamps, stitching, embellishments, and crayons to make stunning pieces which can be displayed in their own right or used further as fabrics for projects. She shows us how to create fabrics, beads, embellishments, cords, trims and jewellery.
Lawrence's book is in two parts, the first and by far the largest a series of workshops with step by step instructions and photographs on using materials and techniques. These are clear, well written and illustrated, although a little knowledge of fabric craft is needed in some instances.
A beautiful book, a piece of exuberant creativity I will continue to enjoy and learn from.

Galenica Falls After U.S. Withholds Drug Approval: Zurich Mover
Galenica AG (GALN), the world's biggest maker of iron replacement drugs, fell the most in almost a year after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration withheld approval of its Injectafer treatment.
Galenica dropped as much as 6.7 percent, the biggest intraday decline since Aug. 9, and was down 6.3 percent at 539.5 Swiss francs as of 9:21 a.m., cutting the company's market value to 3.51 billion francs ($3.54 billion).
The regulator's decision was related to a factory in Shirley, New York, owned by Luitpold Pharmaceuticals, where Injectafer would be made for the U.S. market, Bern, Switzerland- based Galenica said in a statement today. The FDA didn't ask for any additional information on the drug itself.
"During a recent inspection, deficiencies in the manufacturing facility were noted by the FDA inspectors," Galenica said. "The FDA requires satisfactory resolution of these deficiencies before the application for Injectafer can be approved. Luitpold Pharmaceuticals is working closely with the FDA to resolve these deficiencies."
Luitpold, a unit of Tokyo-based Daiichi Sankyo Co., holds U.S. marketing rights for Injectafer. The drug is sold outside the U.S. as Ferinject.

Amusement park La Ronde is one of the most popular and busiest spots in Montreal in summer. It is located on Saint Helen's Island in the middle of Saint Lawrence river. It is also famous for being home of international fireworks competition - L'International des Feux.
I am not a big fan of thrill rides but I love La Ronde for being interesting photography subject with lots of colors and lots of textures. I had idea for this shot for some time but was too lazy to climb Jacques Cartier Bridge from the city. But with appearance of rental Bixi bikes in Montreal I had no excuse. I rented Bixi in Old Montreal and biked over the bridge all the way to Saint Helen's Island.
This photo has so many details, you can even see Olympic Stadium in the background. It is better to view it at full size.
I took 3 hand-held bracketed shots and processed them as HDR (High Dynamic Range) image.

Crossed Words: Seeking some relief
By Justin Vader, MD, ACP Resident/Fellow Member
Answers to clues are placed horizontally in rows to reveal an answer written vertically. Unlike the familiar acrostic puzzle format, the final answer can be in any column.
Horizontal clues
Find in the vertical columns: The two (archaic) components from which a gastrointestinal elixir derives its name
The puzzle grid is here.
Answer: Kaolin and pectin
The puzzle answer is here.

The name "Kaopectate" originally comes from the ingredients kaolin (adsorbent) and pectin (emollient) in its initial formula. Attapulgite, a type of absorbent clay, replaced the kaolinite in the 1980s. Then, the FDA ruled in 2003 that the product had unproven effectiveness, and since 2004, bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol's active ingredient) has been used in the U.S. In 2007, Chattem, a Sanofi company, bought Kaopectate from Johnson & Johnson. In Canada, McNeil Consumer Healthcare continues to market Kaopectate using attapulgite. (Source: Wikipedia and Chattem, Inc. websites.)

Murphy went 52/3 innings and Dana Tennent came on for the save. The game was tied 3-3 in the bottom of the fourth when West exploded for nine runs to break it open en route to a 12-4 victory. Jenarro Herbert and Mike Sabella hit back to back homers to key the rally.
Herbert had two big home runs in the sectionals, hitting a two run shot against Andover, and Ari Rozopoulos collected three hits in the championship game. The defense was solid led by first baseman Herbert, second baseman Mike Silva, shortstop McCullough, and third baseman Sabella. Joe Gilmartin, who pitched the shutout win over Andover, was behind the plate in the finals. Sabella handled the catching when Gilmartin was on the mound.
"The loss to Woburn was a wake up call," said Silva. "That was a very good hitting team, but Murphy kept them off balance with his off-speed stuff. Even in the loss our kids came alive near the end of the game with some big plays. Woburn crushed the fast ball, but Murphy did a great job fooling them.
Other key players are Joe Castrichini, J. C. Espinal, Jack Flaherty, and Jake Paragona. Silva said everybody has contributed to the team's success, and they are a very versatile bunch that can play several positions as needed. The players celebrated winning the sectionals with a pool party before getting down to business to prepare for the states.

Is Syria conflict the latest sign of Armageddon? Novelist with the ear of Rick Santorum and Rick Perry predicts disaster
- Christian groups site the biblical theory of 'the burden of Damascus' as a sign that the end is near
- The prophecy contends that conflict in the Middle East will ultimately leave Damascus - Syria's capitol - in ruins, which will bring the world one step closer to Armageddon
- Believers think Demascus will be destroyed by God on behalf of Israel as one of the final struggles for mankind
Could the current conflict in Syria be the latest sign of the end of days? Apocalypse buffs with unlikely predictions of impending Armageddon seem to think so - including an author who claims to have been a consultant to former Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu and who seems to have the ears of former presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Rick Perry.
'The innocent blood shed by the Assad regime is reprehensible and
heart-breaking and is setting the stage for a terrible judgment,' best-selling author and self-described Jewish believer in Jesus Joel C. Rosenberg wrote in a blog post last year.
However unlikely the wild theory may seem to established foreign policy experts, the fringe belief that the conflict in Syria could be the beginning of the end for mankind stems from an Old Testament prophecy called the 'burden of Damascus,' which is found in Isaiah 17.
Armageddon? Evangelists fear the conflict in Syria is the beginning of end times, as described in the Old Testament
Burden of Damascus: Author Joel Rosenberg's biblical theories about the Middle East are getting a lot of attention as the crisis in Syria escalates
The prophecy contends that conflict in the Middle East will ultimately leave Damascus - Syria's capitol - in ruins, which, the prophecy claims, will bring the world one step closer to Armageddon.
'Damascus is about to be removed from being a city, and will become a fallen ruin,' the prophecy states, implying that the city will be destroyed by God on behalf of Israel as one of the final struggles for mankind.
How will Damascus fall? As Rosenberg notes, the Bible isn't exactly clear. However, one of his books offers his prediction - and it starts starts in Damascus.
Rosenberg's Twelfth Imam series describes the emergence of the Mahdi, the Muslim messiah, which leads to the rise of a new Islamic caliphate in the Middle East.
The new caliphate, Mother Jones explains, then 'prepares to decapitate Israel by launching nuclear warheads from Damascus.'
Powerful friends: Rosenberg has the ear of former presidential candidate Rick Santorum
Texas Governor Rick Perry subscribes to Rosenberg's theory on the 'burden of Damascus'
Rosenberg's series is described on Amazon as 'a great read for anyone interested not only in the prophetical future of Israel but for Iran and Syria as well…[It] makes one want to keep his or her eyes wide open on current day Middle East events, and see if they line up to eschatological Old Testament passages.'
Rosenberg's prophecies may seem somewhat out there, but he's regarded by many as 'a modern-day Nostradamus' for his expertise on nuclear policy, particularly as it pertains to the Middle East. Santorum even wrote a foreward for the hardcover version of Rosenberg's most-recent novel, Damascus Countdown, and even had him on his radio show to discuss the book last spring.
Texas Governor Rick Perry - who ran for the presidency in 2012 and is expected to do so again in 2016 - met privately with Rosenberg in March to discuss Damascus Countdown
Other Christian doomsday mouthpieces are capitalizing on the burden of Damascus theory - Jan Markell, a Christian radio host frequented by former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, sent out an email blast last spring warning of the tension in Syria leading to the end of the world.
Doomsday: Rosenberg plans to meet with Kansas Governor Sam Brownback this weekend to discuss the situation in the Middle East
On Friday, just before President Barack Obama announced he was taking his plan to launch missile attacks on Syria to Congress, Texas-based evangelist Hal Lindsey - who has been warning of the burden of Damascus for years - offered a dire warning on his television program.
'As I prepared for this weeks program, I was again struck by the speed with which events are moving into the scenario the prophets predicted for the end times,' he told his audience. 'I believe we're there. People on the street are talking about what all of these things mean. Folks that wouldn't go darken the door of a church or pick up a Bible are now very curious.

ESCONDIDO (CBS 8) - We're hearing from an Escondido police officer, who is being called a hero after risking his life to rescue a driver from a burning vehicle.
It happened early Sunday morning.
Officer Joseph Putlowski says, when he arrived on the scene of a two-vehicle crash -- one of the cars was on fire, with a 21-year-old driver still inside.
He says there was really no time to think -- he just reached in and pulled the man out, as the flames grew higher and hotter by the second.
"My main concern was...either that vehicle is going to fully engulf in flames that would injure the occupant of the vehicle or myself," he said.
Many are calling his actions courageous but officer Putlowski sees it differently.
"This is my job. This is what I feel I'm expected to do," he said.
The driver of the car, who suffered injuries to his head, was later arrested on suspicion of DUI. Investigators believe he ran a red light.
Two other people in the second car suffered minor injuries.

An armed standoff situation at Manawatu Prison has been resolved, the two prisoners who camped on the prison's roof have come down this evening after more than 24 hours of negotiations.
The two men climbed on the exercise yard roof on Wednesday afternoon at 2pm, and one came down at voluntarily at 4pm followed by his fellow inmate at about 5.40pm, a Corrections spokeswoman confirmed.
Do you know any more about the prisoners on the roof? Email us your newstips at email@example.com
The men had climbed on the roof yesterday at 2pm.
The prisoners did not have weapons but it was still unknown why they were on the roof.
The first prisoner to disembark was assisted down by staff and taken to hospital for treatment of injuries sustained by the razor wire that surrounds the prison roof.
He had not injured himself attempting to escape, Prison Manager Peter Howe said at a press conference held at the prison earlier this evening.
Just over an hour and a half later the remaining prisoner also came down voluntarily, from the roof inside an enclosed yard in the prison overlooking the exercise yard.
A Corrections spokeswoman said the incident had been resolved successfully in a full scale operation with the support of the police, Army and Fire Service.
There had been no threat to public safety or any possibility of the pair escaping at any time during the incident, Howe said.
"Ensuring the safety of both staff and prisoners is of paramount importance.''
They had stockpiled food and water, which indicated some level of planning was undertaken.
No details of the prisoner identities could be released at this stage, but a full investigation was to be launched into how and why they got onto the roof.
A prison negotiation team and two police cars were still at the cordoned-off scene earlier this evening.
Airspace restrictions were put in place over Manawatu Prison at police request.
Palmerston north senior sergeant Clifford Brown said the restriction was in place for safety and operational reasons.
"Having aircraft flying above the prison prevents us from going about our business, which is getting the guys down, without distraction."
Corrections staff had been in negotiations with the two men and police had remained in the prison overnight last night, but Howe would not say if the prisoners were making demands.
Five police officers were initially positioned at the entrances to the prison, and a police liaison was inside with negotiators. Corrections staff were also posted at the entrances with police.
Corrections had taken the lead in negotiations and police were providing assistance where they could.
The jail, in Linton, near Palmerston North, had been cordoned off. Nine police staff were initially posted at two entrances to the prison after they were contacted shortly before 5pm yesterday, but that number was reduced about 10pm last night.
Visitors to the prison were being turned away, with police telling them the area was in lockdown for an unknown amount of time.

'Secret' Hyndburn museum must stay open
3:48pm Thursday 26th June 2014 in News By Michael Morrison, Hyndburn reporter
'THE best kept secret in Clayton-le-Moors' will remain open to the public.
The owners of Clayton Hall, off Clayton Hall Drive, had sought permission from the council to prevent the public from accessing a museum there, as well as an historic Grade II listed ice house, car park, and picnic area.
But the planning committee rejected officers' recommendations and said the museum must remain open.
When planning permission was granted to rebuild the hall in the 1990s, on the site of two buildings dating to the 1300s, the council stipulated those areas must be open to the public from 2pm to 6pm or sunset at weekends and from noon until 3pm at least two weekdays a week.
The museum contains artefacts relating to the hall's history.
Documents with the council said: "There were only a few visitors to the museum when it opened and, since then, there have never been any visitors or enquiries.
"Realistically, the museum has not operated as such for more than 20 years.
"Since the development was completed and the museum created, there have been only two visitors."
Councillor Judith Addison said: "I never knew there was a museum and if I had, I would have gone to visit it.
"If museums are not advertised, how will people know to visit?"
Chief planning officer Simon Prideaux said planning conditions were highly unusual and wouldn't be implemented today.
Mr Prideaux said: "The owners would like to use it as part of their dwelling. It's not a facility accessible to the public, it's in private grounds. We feel it's reasonable for the museum element (of the planning conditions) to be discharged."
Councillor Bernard Dawson, said: "I can understand why they want to do it. I have never heard of a museum down there.
"It's the best kept secret in Clayton."
Nobody at Clayton Hall could be reached for comment.

Mr Prideaux is quoted as having said: "The owners would like to use it as part of their dwelling. It's not a facility accessible to the public, it's in private grounds."
For a Chief Planning Officer, Mr Prideaux seems woefully ignorant, and it might have been sensible if he had done some basic research before making such a statement.
The original planning application was to build a new `replica' of an old house that had been demolished. The council were minded to refuse it, but granted permission because of the wonderful facility that was promised by the owner, well-known local accountant, David Mayes.
This included not only the museum, but access to an historic ice house and a nice car park and picnic area for visitors.
All this was incorporated into a legally binding section 106 agreement between Mr Mayes and the Council.
It was a condition of giving planning permission to build the new house that it wouldn't be occupied until the museum was open to the public, but although Mr Mayes moved into the house in 1993 for some strange reason the museum still hadn't been opened over two years later, and the Council were forced to threaten High Court injunction proceedings, whereupon the museum was suddenly declared open.
So it was an essential part of the original planning deal done between Mr Mayes and the Council that the public would have access to the site. For Mr Prideaux now to say "It's not a facility accessible to the public, it's in private grounds" is therefore complete nonsense. I find it difficult to understand why he would make such a comment and why he would recommend that the application be granted.
Intrigued by this museum that I had never heard of I visited the site this evening, and I can confirm that it is a truly delightful spot, and well worth a visit. Unfortunately, it was getting a bit late, but the museum is open from 2pm to sunset (or 6pm if earlier) on Saturdays and Sundays, so I'll be going back with a picnic and I recommend other people interested in historical Lancashire do the same.
It's a great shame that such a hidden treasure has gone un-noticed for so long, but many thanks to the LT for bringing it `out of the closet', and let's all hope the museum can now finally fulfil its potential.

Been a Rockies fan since the 6 year-old version of me joined the "GO! ROCKIES!" chant in the upper deck at Mile High. Throws roughly as hard as Brian Bohanon ever did. Was in Section 303 to see the Rockies clinch the 2007 NL Pennant.
The Rockies TRADED DEXTER FOWLER SO THEY COULD SIGN JUSTIN MORNEAU.
Walt Weiss was a decent ballplayer, more renowned for smarts than stats. As the sixth manager in Rockies history, he faces a challenge unlike any of the previous five. Can Weiss' baseball IQ...
After having an indefinite handshake agreement to stay with the Colorado Rockies as long as he desired, Jim Tracy has stepped down as the club's manager.
Dan O'Dowd's Project 5183 was much maligned when it came to light earlier this season, but it's far too early to come to any sound conclusions on it.
Under the leadership of general manager Dan O'Dowd and manager Jim Tracy, the Colorado Rockies are adrift with no bearing on where the future is. It's time for them to go.
Dan O'Dowd's 'Project 5,183' might just turn contemporary pitching staffs on their heads, or maybe explode in his face. We'll need to wait and see.
The Colorado Rockies still have 120-plus games left to play in a season gone horrible, but it remains to be seen whether general manager Dan O'Dowd and manager Jim Tracy will make it to the end.
While hopes don't run as high on Opening Day for the Colorado Rockies in 2012 as they did in 2011, there's still the promise of something better than in years past.
The narrative of Colorado's trade of pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez has changed from one that questioned the team's move to now pondering why the pitcher felt disrespected enough that he wanted to be traded.
The Colorado Rockies aren't anyone's favorite to win the NL West this season, but the hope of Spring Training will certainly inspire dreams of victory in many fans.
Even if Jamie Moyer is getting nothing more than a bone thrown in his direction by the Colorado Rockies, his years of pitching and veteran-ness can surely help the team's staple of young pitchers...
Will Dan O'Dowd's offseason trades be able to rescue the Colorado Rockies in 2012 and deliver a spot in the postseason? He's betting a contract extension on it.
The Colorado Rockies need to find the future sooner rather than later. 2012 could prove to be the pivotal point along the path to long-term success.
The Colorado Avalanche embark on a new era and regain one lost fan.
The Colorado Rockies' 2011 season began in the best of ways, but it quickly turned into a nightmare for players, team officials and fans alike. 2012 is fraught with peril, but the eternal hope of...
Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is a star and he's a hero. Too often the hero falters, but that never stops him from persevering through the failures.
Ubaldo Jimenez is gone, but he won't be forgotten by Colorado Rockies fans. There's too much history there.
The second half of the Colorado Rockies' season begins Thursday night. Do they have some magic in them just as their previous incarnations did?
Do the Colorado Rockies have you down this season? You're not the only one.
The Colorado Rockies have a new generation of talent with Jhoulys Chacin and Charlie Blackmon at the head of the class.
Rockies fans cringed on May 24 when they saw Jorge De La Rosa leave his start with elbow tightness. It would turn into a full-blown tear of his UCL a few hours later. Now DLR will need to work his...
Huston Street isn't the conventional closer, but Rockies fans should be grateful for his accomplishments.
Rockies fans often heap plenty of blame on manager Jim Tracy for events outside of his control. Make sure players are held accountable, too.
As long as the Rockies get the job done on the field, Cubs fans should be subdued in the stands.
On Wednesday, the past, the present and the what could-have-been for the Rockies all looked toward the new season.
The Colorado Rockies start the season today, but how will their season play out. Here are three scenarios.
It's spring training for everyone, but should we read anything into Cactus League performances done by the Colorado Rockies this March?
Todd Helton had the worst season of his career in 2010, but this season he hopes to be back and ready to bring Denver a Colorado Rockies World Series victory.
The Colorado Rockies turned in a dud during the last two weeks of the 2010 season. In 2011, the team needs to be prepared for that key stretch.
By way of introduction, which I will try and keep brief: I'm new to all of this. Based largely on an unpleasant season of eight year-old soccer (was the game not fun because I was horrendous at it,...

Teenager Izzy Dix hanged herself 'after bullying'
A coroner has recorded a suicide verdict on a hanged schoolgirl whose family blame cyber-bullying for her death

Brixham Coastguard has confirmed its search for a trawler which went down off the coast of Brixham has been called off.
A major search and rescue operation is underway off the coast of Devon after a trawler sunk near Brixham
Friends of a teenager who killed herself after being bullied online have told ITV News West Country it's time the website they partly blame for her death was shut down.
14-year-old Izzy Dix from Brixham was found dead at her home in September. She'd been bullied both at school and over the internet.
Jeff Welch has been talking to some of her friends about her ordeal and what they want done to make sure it never happens again:
A funeral was held today for the Devon teenager believed to have taken her own life after being the victim of cyber bullying.
Izzy Dix was found dead at her home in Brixham. She was just 14. Her friends said she'd been bullied.
And today it's been revealed that 7 out of 10 young people have been targeted by online bullies.
Jacquie Bird has been to meet someone who tried to take her own life after the intimidation got too much:
The Taunton Deane MP Jeremy Browne says we need a debate on whether young Muslim women and girls should be banned from wearing a veil or Niqab in public. Claire Manning has been to Plymouth to assess reaction to the proposal.
Poor Sarah Wollaston's twitter feed has become a total car crash of bigotry, Islamophobia, historical ignorance and exceptionalism.
Sarah Wollaston, how about asking a woman who wears niqab what she thinks about her freedom? Or does her opinion does not matter?
Feel quite uncomfortable about Sarah Wollaston's comments about the #niqab today.
feminists should be allowed to say that they find the #niqab deeply offensive without being accused of being bigoted or islamophobic,
The niqab should be banned within schools & colleges; how on earth do they promote equality when they collude with making women invisible?
The niqab won't be banned in the UK because too many politicians will hide behind freedom; hiding women away is a perversion of freedom
The Totnes MP Sarah Wollaston says Islamic veils are an 'intolerable subjugation of women which should not be allowed to masquerade as freedom.'
Sarah Wollaston MP (Con, Totnes, Brixham and South Hams) says the niqab (a full-face Islamic veil) should be banned in schools and colleges. A Birmingham college last week reversed a decision to ban the garment on security grounds. Read more about that decision here.
Devon families have a new open space to get outdoors in the West Country.
The Brixham Family Group has transformed a garden on land adjoining Indigo's Go Wild and Chestnut Childrens' Centre.
It recently held its Playday Playful Paws Fun day to officially open the park.
You can find out more about the Brixham Family Group by visiting their Facebook page.
It's the second day of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall's annual visit to the West Country.
The royal couple are in Brixham today. His Royal Highness went on board a modern day trawler, where the fishermen said they were impressed by the amount the Prince seemed to know about their industry:
Prince Charles and Camilla are continuing their tour of Devon and Cornwall, visiting members of the fishing community in Brixham.
