School Notes:
- Our Philosophy *The WEE Center holds the view that preschool children learn through their play experiences. This philosophy is based on the theories of pioneering scholars in child development such as Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Preschool children do not learn through direct instruction, but rather through hands-on interactions with people and materials. Through play, children learn organizational skills, develop and expand language abilities, and learn to take risks in solving problems. This does not mean that we do not help the children to grow academically. Play contributes to the development of academic ability. When children are ordering objects, learning rhymes and chants, exploring materials, or constructing with blocks, they are building the skills they need to learn to read, write and be successful in school. Children who are given the opportunity to play with peers learn important social skills, such as expressing their emotions in acceptable ways. Play is the work of preschool children. Our Vision: A World of Endless Encouragement (W.E.E.) for all God's children. Our Mission: Is to enrich the life of the children in our care through a curriculum designed to promote their cognitive, social, emotional, physical, creative, and spiritual development. We encourage children to seek answers to their questions, develop problem-solving skills, and think creatively by providing teacher and child initiated activities in a safe, nurturing Christian environment. Our Objectives: -- protect children from hazards to health and safety -- provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum -- allow children to hear about God's love in an environment of Christian love and concern -- enable children to feel adequate in their environment -- aid children in learning to understand and live intelligently in their world -- teach children to manage themselves, their materials, and their daily routine -- facilitate sturdy growth through providing freedom of movement, adequate space, and equipment -- help children find comfortable, contributing places in the group -- encourage children to take initiative in planning and doing things

Are you willing to give up "more" for "better"?
I had an interesting lecture earlier this week where the discussion about the history of the environmental movement, as a broad spectrum of demonstration, that eventually turned into a discussion about how we use technology, perceive technology, and ultimately purchase technology incrementally.
It's no doubt that over the years technology has become significantly more difficult to repair, even just 10 years ago those big computer towers and chunky laptops had recognizable RAM cards, noisy HDDs, Wifi cards, expansion cards, and etc., of which all were fairly easily removed and replaced with a new part. This is a point my professor made and moved on to talk about these components now being soldered onto the logic board, and thus not replaceable by the end user, and if you're out of warranty you likely won't be able to afford to replace the logic board.
Anyways, I'm not going to argue about the environmental movement, however I would like to ask something here that we were asked in that lecture: If you were given the choice, would you sacrifice pixel density, processing power, thinness, or weight for a more environmentally-friendly, future-proof, and "better" phone? Or would you prefer to continue incrementally buying phones as they're released on a yearly cycle?
My personal answer to this is yes, I believe I would be in favour of sacrificing some minor comforts for a more long-term mobile device. It's not that I want every phone to look and perform like the 3G or original Nexus device, but I believe that a phone similiar to the iPhone could be made "better" in a sense.
Any ideas how this could be done? Is there anything you would or wouldn't sacrifice?

Another View: Why raising the state's gas tax takes taxpayers for a ride
As we begin to build our state budget spending plan for the next two years, two camps have emerged regarding how to increase funding for our road and bridge projects: One insists that raising our gas tax is the answer, while the other looks to protect taxpayers by establishing a totally new source of funding.
As Senate Finance Chairman and the veteran of several budget battles, I am convinced we need to move forward on this funding issue in a manner we can best handle financially with the least burden to taxpayers. That is why I could not be more opposed to HB 617, filed by Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, that seeks to increase our gas tax by fifteen cents per gallon.
This would mean an eighty-three percent increase, totaling one billion dollars over ten years, in our gas tax and the timing could not be worse. Prices at the pump are heading back up at the same moment New Hampshire is beginning to show signs of climbing out of the current recession. This is exactly the wrong recipe for improving our economy.
When fully implemented, this tax will cost drivers in my hometown of Salem nearly $2 million a year. Nashua drivers will contribute an additional $5.2 million, and Manchester motorists will pay in over $6.3 million more a year. In return, our communities will receive less than 20 percent of those funds for local road and bridge repairs; the rest will be funneled to bureaucracy of our state's Dept. of Transportation.
There are additional reasons why raising the gas tax is bad policy:
We are currently living in a time of high gas prices and a stagnant economy. These are the two main obstacles to raising the gas tax in recent years.
As gas prices/taxes increase, consumers drive less, purchase less gas and as a result, tax collections decrease.
Supporting an increase in the gas tax is one thing, being honest about who is footing the bill is another. Since most gas in New Hampshire is bought by New Hampshire drivers and businesses, we would not be passing this increased cost along. Example: $22 million of diesel fuel was purchased last year in New Hampshire and New Hampshire businesses/individuals bought $21 million of it.
An increase in the gas tax is bad for commerce and small business because it makes energy more expensive. These increased costs cut into a business's bottom line and are often passed on to consumers.
Once any tax is raised, the state becomes dependent upon it.
And if those arguments aren't convincing, try this: If we pass an increase in the gas tax as Rep. Campbell suggests, it would nearly double the amount of revenue our Dept. of Transportation collects when fully implemented.
If every department took this approach, state government and the taxpayers would go broke.
Instead, I believe funding roads and bridges with money generated by expanded gaming is the better approach for two reasons. First, under Senate Bill 152 (legislation that I am sponsoring), gaming money generated by a casino located near the Massachusetts border will go directly to the source, i.e., bettering roads/bridges, paying off bonds. And second, there will be no additional taxation of New Hampshire citizens.
Specifically, this legislation guarantees the state gets 30 percent of the net revenues a casino generates from its slot machines. Twenty-five percent of that money pool is split between roads and bridges, higher education, and North Country economic development. The town where the casino is built, as well as adjacent communities, would benefit from three and one-percent shares respectively. The final one percent is set aside to support problem gamblers.
Here's the bottom line, to pay for needed road and bridge work the legislature can either create pain at the pump by nearly doubling the gas tax and thus reducing disposable income and hurting commerce in the state; or go with a plan that protects taxpayers by establishing a new, non-tax source of revenue that could raise more than $50 million a year - a plan that also has the green light from Gov. Hassan.
I think the choice is pretty clear.

I worked at a very large plant that produce its own power and sold the surplus to the local power company. I worked there for over thirty years and the last new boilers could burn natural gas, fuel oil. biomass, from timber operations and coal.
It had been in place about twenty years when I retired from the mill as a maintenance worker compared to when I started we went from terrible emissions to those that were for all purposes none existent.
The white cloud that came out regardless of the fuel being used was the same and contained no solids of any kind and was ninety-seven per cent water vapor from the water showers which were a part of the filtering system. These stacks were constantly monitored by sensors and computer controlled.
All of this hogwash is to keep us and the rest of the world hooked to those who have controlled our energy source, our supply, our research, our knowledge our price and our policy for the last hundred years. Big Oil.
These people have entire control over everything about the world's energy and have had it for a century.
What it will be, where and from who we will get, when and if we will ever develop newer, better types how much we will pay for it and they control all important news concerning it, like how much there is left.
In others words they control the life blood/ power of the world's economic life or death and it seems they can be controlled no longer, nor can they control their own greed.

Good News Out of PA
After casting my ballot for Mitt Romney, I tuned into Julie Mason's The Press Pool on Sirius XM during my three hour trek back to Maryland. : Mason's guest was Pittsburgh-Tribune Review staff writer and editorial page columnist Salena Zito, who detailed how Romney could win Pennsylvania tonight. : One indicator was Romney's rally in Bucks County, which drew 30,000 people. : She aptly noted how this doesn't happen in the collar counties around Philadelphia — especially for a Republican candidate. : Furthermore, out of 1200 Democratic voters polled across the county, Zito found that they feel disillusioned, abandoned, and condescended to by their fellow party members making the decisions in Washington. : Thus, they're leaning for Romney.
While the Tea Party insurgency and women helped: Republicans capture the most House seats since 1948 during the 2010 elections — Zito noted that disenchanted Democrats also played an integral role in the GOP retaking the House two years ago.
Bucks County is the most populous of the collar counties a strong lead could determine how PA will go tonight.

In response to ctredsoxfanhugh's comment:
JBJ needs to stay when VIC comes back. I know Nava will turn it around and be better than this, but if everyone is playing healthy he still might be the 4th outfielder. I like having Sizemore/JBJ/Victorino in the outfield. That is a VERY strong outfield. JBJ is starting to turn it around with the bat too, He's not hitting GREAT but he is above the Mendoza line and a lot of his hits have been clutch, and he's put together some great PA's with a OBP of .357
He's not a burner, and I don't know why people keep on saying and thinking that he is but Jackie Bradley Jr does not have great speed. I think people just assume it because he is an elite defender in center field. When it is all said and done, I think the only difference between Ellsbury and Bradley JR. will be the stolen bases.
And quite frankly, if he can stay healthy and not cost $20+ a year I'll take that all day long.
he is faster than the other three and is miles ahead defensively...so his worth as a late inning replacement is immense...i agree that vic, jb, and grady will be a very nice outfield to watch play...now if we can string together a few big hits when its needed....i am a little concerned about lackey/douby too but they will suffice as long as peavy and lester bring it
[object HTMLDivElement]
JBJ is not faster than Sizemore, and Victorino who both have plus speed. They aren't elite baserunners like Ellsbury but they are very good, and fast runners. JBJ is not fast, he has amazing instincts and gets off to a faster start than anyone else to the ball and that is why he is an elite Centerfielder....but running from 1st to 2nd JBJ gets beat by those two any day of the week. I still think he might be a 10-15 bagger just because he has such great instincts.
As far as the outfield goes, instincts are better than speed. As far as base running, he needs work but he still gets more looks and throws to first from pitchers than size. As far as Vic goes, he may not be the same Vic as last year. JBJ is on his way up the ladder and should be given the opportunity to play. I doubt he goes down or plays anywhere but center.

Origin of the name Myra:
Coined by the poet Fulke Greville (1554 - 1628) for use in his love poems. Some believe it to be a variant of the Irish Moyra; an anagram of Mary; a borrowing of the name of a seaport in ancient Lycia; or from the Latin myrrha (myrrh).

- Comments and insights on the name Myra: | Edit
I have been told by several people from Greece that the name Myra means "fate" in Greek. This ancient usage makes sense as the city in Turkey named Myra was a stop on St. Paul's second missionary journey and is listed in the book of Corinthians. I met a jeweler in Turkey who named her daughter Myra because of the meaning "fate". Most explanations stop and start with an obscure piece of 17th century poetry. The name is also popular as a Jewish name. I have heard that the name is finally making a comeback, which pleases me. It doesn't rhyme with anything bad, has a good meaning and personally, I love having this name!

Railroad cars that are used to transport hazardous materials are, in many cases, similar to their highway counterparts, but they have much larger capacities. The primary types of railcars are box, hopper, bulk, tank, flat and tube.
Types of hazardous materials carried by rail are much like those transported on highways, but again a primary difference is the increased amount of product being transported in individual containers. Additionally, there may be more than one tank car of the same product, or multiple products.
Highway emergencies usually involve single amounts or small amounts of several chemicals, but rail incidents can involve from one to 100 or more tanks of the same or varying types of hazardous materials. Increased amounts of hazardous materials only compound the situation, making the work of response personnel difficult.
Railroad tank cars contain bulk quantities of hazardous materials and are the primary concern of emergency responders in derailments or other types of rail accidents. In fact, over 80% of all hazardous materials are transported by rail and tank cars account for 70% of the total. Most serious railroad hazmat incidents involve tank cars; therefore, they will be the focus of most of this column.
Cargoes Vary Greatly
More than 200,000 tank cars are used in rail transportation in the U.S. Most tank cars are not owned by railroads, but by private companies. Over 1,200 are owned by the U.S. government and supervised by the military. Government cars are used to transport jet fuels, nitrogen-tetroxide (a rocket fuel) and materials used in weapons production. The amounts of a hazardous material in a tank car can range from a few hundred gallons to as much as 34,500 gallons. (No tank car is considered empty unless it has been purged of the product and cleaned.)
Railroad tank cars are assigned identification numbers that identify the type of tank – pressure, non-pressure, cryogenic or miscellaneous. Tank cars transporting hazardous materials can be identified through 100-series numbers regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Tank cars that carry non-hazardous commodities such as corn syrup and cooking oil bear 200-series numbers and are regulated by the Association of American Railroads (AAR), are not considered hazardous materials containers.
Numerical designations for tank car designs are as follows:
- Pressure Tank Car Designations – DOT 105, 109, 112, 114 and 120.
- Non-Pressure Tank Car Designations – DOT 103, 104, 111 and 115; and AAR 201, 203, 206 and 211.
- Cryogenic Tank Car Designations – DOT 113; AAR 204 and 204XT.
- Miscellaneous Tank Car Designations – DOT 106, 107 and 110; and AAR 207 and 208.
While the numbering system for railroad cars identifies particular types of tanks, the numbers may not be readily visible to emergency responders from a safe distance.
The most important concern for emergency responders about a tank car is whether it is a pressure or non-pressure tank. Pressure tanks present a much more difficult and dangerous situation for response personnel than non-pressure cars.
Pressure tank cars and non-pressure tank cars can be differentiated by looking at the locations of valves and other piping on the tops of the cars. On a pressure car all valves and piping are enclosed within a dome at the top center of the tank car. The dome is designed to prevent damage during a derailment. Non-pressure cars can have unprotected valves and piping on tops of the tanks or, in some cases, on top of the domes. Non-pressure tanks may also have bottom fittings and washouts.
Pressure tanks are top loaded through the dome assembly and generally are used to transport flammable and non-flammable gases and poison gases. The tanks may be insulated or non-insulated, and are hydrostatically tested for pressures of 100 to 600 psi. Pressure tank cars present a much more significant hazard to response personnel than do non-pressure cars under heat or flame impingement conditions.

We are the proud few who stand on the cutting edge of frugality. We hold our heads high while we steal toilet paper, shoplift lentils, reuse condoms and syringes, and drink our own piss to save multiple dollars each year.
Ever find yourself muttering curses under your breath as you peruse /r/frugal looking for tips about how to steal power, only to find posts written by fat-cats bragging about their fancy prepaid cell-phone plans, store-bought food, and crystal clear drinking water? We're sick and tired of their arrogance too.
We come from all walks of life but are united by our shared love of lentils and our hatred of fat-cats.

Incipio's Cashwrap NFC case to enable iPhone owners to use the Isis Mobile Wallet is available for Verizon Wireless, the accessories maker announced Thursday.
Isis telco AT&T is making the first NFC-enabled cases for the iPhone available for use with the Isis Mobile Wallet this week, a move expected to be followed by Verizon Wireless soon.
NFC Times Exclusive: A long-anticipated but delayed launch of an NFC case for the iPhone 5 is finally ready to go forward, following remaining approvals needed from Visa and Apple, NFC Times has learned.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – NFC technology this year is likely to make its way into a greater variety of consumer products, including televisions, DVD players, digital cameras, even an automatic vacuum cleaner, if demonstrations at last week's International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas are any indication.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – U.S.-based mobile device accessories maker Incipio plans to make its iPhone 4 and 4S contactless case designed for use with the Isis Mobile Wallet available in the first quarter, the company told NFC Times. That depends on certification, however.
Israel-based On Track Innovations reported new orders for its NFC and contactless readers in North America, along with the first shipments of its NFC-enabled Wave attachment, driving higher revenue, though the vendor's quarterly losses continued.
U.S.-based Identiv reported higher revenue and narrowed losses for the second quarter, predicting a breakeven or positive result by the end of the year, as the company's restructuring program draws to a close.
France-based Inside Secure reported a 9% drop in revenue in the first half, which it blamed on the end of shipments of NFC chips to BlackBerry and lower sales of "legacy" EMV chips to Europe.
NFC Times Exclusive: Westpac New Zealand's product chief told NFC Times he believes host-card emulation will reduce costs and increase flexibility, while ensuring the bank can use its own branded wallet.
NFC Times Exclusive: With interest in host-card emulation continuing to grow and SIM-based NFC rollouts in need of a boost, mobile operators and their global trade association, GSMA, are pushing for significant cuts in the cost and complexity of TSMs and lowering other hurdles that have discouraged service providers from provisioning their applications on SIM cards.
U.S.-based Broadcom did not mention NFC in its recent conference call with analysts following release of its second quarter results, in which it announced cuts to its global workforce of 20% by exiting the baseband mobile processor business.
A group of former top managers in Visa's mobile program have formed a start-up that plans to use NFC and BLE to deliver coupons, rewards and other offers to consumers in stores, using the branded apps of retailers or other marketers.
Visa Inc. has released a few more details of its planned tokenization service, which it announced last week as part of its Visa Digital Solutions "suite of offerings."
Transport for London today announced it would launch acceptance for open-loop bank cards and other contactless payment on its heavily traveled London Underground and other modes of transit in September, while the UK's largest mobile operator, EE, announced customers could begin to tap their NFC phones to pay fares at the same time.
Visa Inc. announced Thursday it would launch a tokenization service in September, as part of what it calls its Visa Digital Solutions "suite of offerings."
NXP Semiconductors said sales in its emerging ID business–mainly made up of its NFC chips–increased by 22% in the second quarter, compared with the first quarter, and CEO Richard Clemmer insisted the chip maker's secure element business would continue to remain a strong contributor.
Westpac New Zealand has announced a small trial of host-card emulation-based payments, with plans to introduce the technology to customers early next year.

Hiroshima anniverary, and Anecdotal Radiations by David Fathi
images from "Anecdotal Radiations" (2014) - by David Fathi
Today marks the appalling anniversary of the US dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. After your own reflection on the atrocity, I recommend viewing the series 'Anecdotal Radiaitons' by David Fathi; I couldn't imagine a more apt time.
I wrote this short review of 'Anecdotal Radiations' a few weeks ago, with a slightly different context in mind, but the day is fitting.
Anecdotal Radiations is essentially a document of absurdity, both horrifying and entertaining; It's a hard topic to present with humour - nuclear weapons - , but pointing out the slapstick nature of their history really does bring home the ridiculousness of their existence. Fathi has made an unwieldy heavy subject digestible for those frightened by it's severity, and for those already engaged, it's alarmingly insightful and entertaining - I know it's a strange line, but it works.
I don't want to say too much about the collection, as you'll see for yourself, but in terms of it's application, it's made up of pack-shots, photos from road-trips, archival images, satellite imagery and significant accompanying text. The array of visual media helps juxtapose and decontextualise the subject, allowing it to be seen for what it is, ridiculous.
Fathi, is a relatively young artist based in Paris. As far as I'm aware Anecdotal Radiations exhibited at the PhotoIreland Festival (2014) is his first international display, although I may be wrong. My point is, he's caught my attention, and I hope he'll get yours.
Please check out his website and view the work in a way he intended - www.davidfathi.com
Note: To be clear, I've omitted the accompanying text from the above image. Check it out on his website.

KILLEEN (March 7, 2014) A 12-year-old boy who was struck by a FedEx truck while riding his bicycle Friday afternoon in Killeen was taken to a local hospital.
The accident was reported just before 2 p.m. at the intersection of Wagon Wheel Drive and Atlas Avenue in South Killeen.
The boy was riding his bike on Atlas when he failed to stop at a stop sign, Killeen police spokeswoman Carroll Smith said.
The FedEx truck hit the rear wheel of the bicycle, she said.
The boy was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with what was believed to be a broken leg and minor facial injuries, none of which are life-threatening, Smith said.
The truck driver was not injured and was not cited, she said.

A Tale Of Two Clams: Policy Anticipation And Industry Productivity
AbstractSound environmental regulation must achieve environmental objectives while maximizing economic efficiency. This paper evaluates the impact of regulation on efficiency by measuring annual productivity across regulatory regimes in two similar fisheries with differing policy expectations. Anticipation of regulatory change produced strategic behavior in one fishery, leading to depressed productivity; in the other, regulatory change was not expected, and productivity did not suffer. These results imply that fisheries regulation should take into account both firms' policy expectations and the potentially perverse incentives that may be created by policy change.

Awed by the Alhambra
I am not sure if this entry should actually be titled "stuffed by St Nicholas" . We wandered around the old city and then walked up along the river. We walked up to the unmissable (as many people told us) St Nicholas plaza with the best view of the city. Holey Dooley was that a mammoth effort!!!!! We wanted to give up a number of times as we …
A place I will never forget
... there appears to me (I admit this may well be a misinformed comment) a lack of ambition or imagination. Perhaps like most countries Spain concentrates on what it's good at and that's why the Spanish are so passionate about football.
I booked into a no frills (absolutely none!) camping motel and set out to look at Granada city centre. It was a two mile walk into the centre which is a nice distance, not too far but ...
Day 184: Granada!
... a walk through An Indian street, or the hippie shop in springwood! There were a lot of people about too, lots of young people with dogs. Granada is quite an alternative place, well the areas in which we were staying. It is full of really nice people, playing lots of music. Across the road from our hostel is a reasonably cheap Chinese restaurant so we bought noodles and a giant springroll and had that for dinner before crashing out... Goodnight ...
Day 71-74 - Football, Tapas and Sun
... city used to be a Muslim dynasty and has quite an Arab feel to it. I haven't been to Morocco but people say that certain parts of it resembles Marrakesh. I see the Granada Cathedral and literally just walk straight past it. I cannot take any more cathedrals anymore.

'House of Cards' actress puts home up for sale [Pictures]
Constance Zimmer of "House of Cards" put her home in the Hollywood Hills up for sale at $1.175 million and in 10 days it was in escrow. The 1940s home has been updated while maintaining some of its early contemporary vibe. Walls of glass in the vaulted-ceiling living room open to a wraparound deck. The two-bedroom, 1.75-bathroom house has another, lower-level deck with a hot tub. There are views of the Hollywood sign and the cityscape. A busy actress, Zimmer, 43, is also part of the cast this year of "The Newsroom" and "Grey's Anatomy." She will have a role in the midseason sitcom "Growing Up Fisher" and will guest star in the pilot of "Complications." Public records show that Zimmer bought the property in 2006 for $1.149 million. Sotheby's International Realty is the listing agency.

We took the bus into Lyon for a look around the city with no expectations but it was a nice city and easy to get around.
Now that its dry, we hope it will stay that way as staying / sleeping in the van with the rain pouring down is a pretty miserable place to be!!

A woman in a tour group outside the Basilica muttered "I think Paris is better", but I suspect her croissant intolerance was acting up, as we've been having a ball in Lyon.

Demi Lovato: Miley Cyrus & Selena Gomez Will Never Leave My Life No Matter What
What a difference a year makes! This time last year, Demi Lovato was still in recovery, and now she's telling Seventeen magazine that "there's nothing that I'm ashamed of."
The "Skyscraper" singer reflected on where she was a little over a year ago, saying, "I'm not gonna lie. I was self-medicating. I was doing things like drinking and using [drugs], like a lot of teens do to numb their pain." However, she's happy to report that is no longer the case. "I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't throw up after my meals, I don't starve myself. There's nothing that I do that I feel ashamed of."
So, who was there for her in these tough times? Two of her best Disney friends.
"There were two people [who were there for me]," the 19-year-old told Seventeen. "No matter how many times we fight, we will always be in each others' lives. [Miley Cyrus and I] are very strong-headed, so when we fight, it's brutal and we're like, 'We're never going to be friends again!' Then two days later, we're like, 'I love you and I miss you!'"
As for her other BFF, "Selena [Gomez] and I, we never fight. She's not a confrontational person at all. Both of them will never leave my life no matter what happens, because we've been through so much together."
Check out more of Demi's interview with Seventeen in their February issue, on newsstands Jan. 10, 2012.

Watch above: the trial of a man accused in the shooting death of Lorry Santos wrapped has ended
SASKATOON – The trial of White Boy Posse gang member Randy O'Hagan, accused of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Lorry Santos, has ended in Saskatoon.
The trial was scheduled to last three weeks, but at noon Wednesday, the Crown rested its case after six days of testimony.
O'Hagan's lawyer chose not to present any evidence or put O'Hagan, who has pleaded not guilty, on the stand.
In closing arguments, the Crown argued three points why the shooting death of Santos on Sept. 12, 2012 was not only homicide, but first-degree murder.
"This murder was planned and deliberate, that's the only way you can be found guilty of first-degree murder," said senior Crown prosecutor Matthew Miazga.
"A second way that you can be found guilty that we argued that this was a contract killing and the third way we argued that this killing was done in association or at the direction of a criminal organization being the White Boy Posse and as such, it would be first-degree murder."
Santos, a mother of four, was on maternity leave at the time of the shooting and died as a result of a single gunshot wound.
Miazga stated even if Santos wasn't the intended target that day, O'Hagan had been ordered to kill.
"One of the submissions I made in court is that there is a concept legally of transferred intent, so if you intend to kill A and then by mistake you kill B it's irrelevant because you had the intent needed at the time you killed B and whether you intended to B or A doesn't matter, it's the fact that you intended to kill somebody."
It is alleged O'Hagan went to a wrong address after a former member of the White Boy Posse was targeted by the gang.
O'Hagan's lawyer argued the directive to kill a former white boy posse gang member came from a single individual rather than a criminal organization.
Miazga disagreed with the defence.
"The direction to commit this murder of the individual that was referred to in court was made by what was described as a senior member of this organization and as such my argument was that means it's done on behalf of the organization."
The last person to testify was John William Marshall, a forensic firearms expert with the RCMP.
Marshall testified the fired bullets pick up impressions of a firearm when shot. Based on his crime lab analysis of the bullets and cartridges found at the crime scene, Marshall stated those were fired by the handguns recovered by police.
Key evidence presented at O'Hagan's trial revolved around shell casings, two hand guns and witness testimony about a vehicle believed to have been used the day of the murder.
Santos' husband and the girlfriend of O'Hagan also testified over the six days.
A decision is expected on May 22.

CATEGORIES Movie Reviews, Movies We Love, Reviews, HorrorI first saw Cropsey as a virginal Fantastic Fest attendee last September. I knew nothing of the film beyond its basic premise, and was sold primarily on the poster. This tends to happen with me, and the resulting hype I built up for myself for no legitimate reason often leads to disappointment. You ever see Grace? Great poster, nay, amazing poster, and indeed one of the best of the year! Crappy film. But I digress. The poster for Cropsey features an abandoned, broken down brick building shrouded by the gnarled branches of an old forest. Placed above it is the simple tagline "the truth is terrifying," the stark simplicity of which became evident after Cropsey's short 84 minute running time is over.
About a month or two later, I received the opportunity to interview directors Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio about their film when it screened at the Denver Film Festival. While the interview was a success, the recording was not. The old, beat up tape recorder I borrowed failed to adequately capture the interview through the cacophony that filled the room, and the small room we were in did little to drown it out. Despite this little snafu (it was my first interview and thus a huge disappointment for me), the filmmakers were gracious enough to give me the chance to introduce the film during its special engagement run at the Denver Film Center this past weekend.
For the first screening, nine of the eleven curious fans in the audience were those I invited. This quelled my severe stage fright a bit, so while I was disappointed in the meager turnout, I was also slightly grateful. The turnout the following Tuesday, however, was much better, with about twenty-five or so people showing up, none of which knew the answer to the trivia questions I posed for some free posters. Despite it all, it was a great feeling seeing it on the big screen once again, making me both long for Fantastic Fest and rekindle my appreciation for this standout film I saw based solely on a poster.
Before watching Cropsey for the first time, I looked up the story behind the film, but I found little to make me believe this film was about true events. A quick search on Wikipedia, my de facto source for basic information, turned up nothing. This lead me to believe that the film I was about to watch was nothing more than a mockumentary, a cheap attempt at achieving Blair Witch-esque fame.
I was clearly wrong, and after viewing the film, quite happy about it.
Cropsey is, ostensibly, a film that explores the disappearance and suspected murders of several children on Staten Island throughout the 1980s. Growing up on the island, the filmmakers were told the story of Cropsey, a vague urban legend about a man who would prey on children at night. In 1987, the disappearance of a young girl with Down's Syndrome and the eventual discovery of her body lead to the arrest of Andre Rand, a drifter that supposedly spent much of his time living underneath the tunnels of the abandoned Willowbrook Mental Institution. With this the legend of Cropsey became real.
Cropsey holds the distinction of being the first ever "horror documentary." By this I certainly don't mean it's a documentary about horror; many others existed before it, and certainly many more will exist long after. Cropsey is more than that. On its surface it is a documentary about a horrific series of events that for some definitely hit close to home. But beyond this we're given a film about the horrifying reality of urban legends. While the tale of Cropsey was a mere urban legend for the children of Staten Island, the story of Andre Rand made it real for the parents. If you'd like to take a morbid stance on the matter, it's karma in its purest form: you freak your kids out with tales of things that go bump in the night, and eventually those things are going to get them.
Documentaries are above all supposed to be informative; Cropsey does this, but instead branches out by taking the form of a narrative. The events chronicled span approximately two decades, prefaced by the story of Cropsey and the time-honored tradition of legend tripping, a common practice involving the nighttime dalliances of children trying to scare each other with visits to frightening locales. This was explored in the film Candyman, albeit in a much more mature manner, so it's no surprise that Cropsey manages to instill genuine frights in the audience. Making themselves central characters in their story (think a Michael Moore flick without the bloated pretension), the filmmakers take a trip to Willowbrook in the middle of the night, accompanied only by a cameraman. This gives the film a sort of Blair Witch-esque vibe, with the added of bonus of lacking a neurotic, shrill camerawoman shrieking every three seconds and causing motion sickness.
This narrative aspect is indeed the film's strong suit, and throughout the tale unfolding on the screen we're taken on a whirlwind journey through not just the potential motives of a deranged killer, but the minds of those who helped put him in jail. Assuming an objective stance on his role in the disappearance and murder of several children, the filmmakers meet with detectives involved with the case, Rand's defense attorneys, his family members and friends, and, in a bizarre twist, those heavily involved in the disturbing underground Satanic cults of Staten Island and the neighboring boroughs of New York. They have no connection to Rand other than growing up when he supposedly roamed the streets and kidnapped children, and this allows the "horror film" aspect of Cropsey to remain unsullied by ridiculous bias. Their experience with Rand and their journey out to the hospital under the cover of darkness thus remain usullied by bias or skepticism. To this end, we're given a remarkable expose on the role bias and perception plays in the passing of judgment.
Cropsey is an incredibly rich and informative "whodunnit" filled to the brim with social commentary, all while exploring the horrifying reality of popular - and seemingly fictional - motif of urban legends in horror cinema. Its role as both a documentary and horror film instill in the viewer the notion that while Jason, Freddy and the supernatural are frightening in their own right, nothing can compare to reality.
