Jones v. Town of Warren, corrected 10-9-97 Download as PDF Wordperfect 3 Back to Opinions page MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT Reporter of Decisions Decision: 1997 ME 200 Docket: Kno-96-749 Submitted on Briefs: September 19, 1997 Decided: October 7, 1997 PANEL: WATHEN, C.J., and ROBERTS, CLIFFORD, RUDMAN, DANA, and LIPEZ, JJ.
HELEN JONES v. TOWN OF WARREN
RUDMAN, J. [¶1] Helen Jones appeals from the judgment entered in the Superior Court (Knox County, Atwood, J.) denying her appeal from her termination as an employee of the Town of Warren. Jones contends that, contrary to the determination by the Board of Selectmen, she was employed as an office clerk in the Town's office at the time her term of office as Town Clerk expired and that the Superior Court erred when it held that the Board of Selectmen's determination was supported by substantial evidence contained in the record. We disagree and affirm the judgment. [¶2] Helen Jones was hired by the Town of Warren in September 1989 as an office clerk. In March 1993, Avis Luce was elected Town Clerk of the Town of Warren but passed away prior to assuming that position. The Town's Board of Selectmen appointed Jones as Town Clerk on March 18, 1993, for a term of three years. A few months after Jones was appointed Town Clerk, the Town hired Sherry Howard as office clerk. Jones did not, in any way, challenge the employment of a new office clerk. When Jones's term as Town Clerk expired, she was not reappointed. She then sought to continue her employment by the Town as an office clerk, a position she maintained she never surrendered when she assumed the position of Town Clerk. The Town Manager refused to place her in that position, reasoning that she had surrendered that position on becoming Town Clerk. Jones appealed the decision of the Town Manager to the Town's Board of Selectmen and the Board of Selectmen denied her appeal. She then appealed to the Superior Court which found the Board's determination was supported by substantial evidence and thus affirmed the determination.{1} [¶3] When the Superior Court acts in an intermediate appellate capacity in reviewing the action of a town, we directly and independently examine the record as developed before the Board to determine whether the Board abused its discretion, committed an error of law, or made findings not supported by substantial evidence in the record. Sherwood v. Town of Kennebunkport, 589 A.2d 453, 454-55 (Me. 1991). The issue before us is not whether we would reach the same conclusion as the Town, but whether the record contains competent and substantial evidence which supports the result reached by the Town. See In re Maine Clean Fuels, Inc., 310 A.2d 736, 741 (Me. 1973) Substantial evidence is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support the conclusion. Hrouda v. Town of Hollis, 568 A.2d 824, 826 (Me. 1990). That the evidence supports two inconsistent conclusions does not prevent an administrative agency's finding from being supported by substantial evidence. Maine Clean Fuels, 310 A.2d at 741. An administrative board's finding will not be disturbed if supported by substantial evidence. Palesky v. Town of Topsham, 614 A.2d 1307, 1309 (Me. 1992) (Town's determination regarding terminated employee will not be disturbed by the Court when supported by substantial evidence in the record). [¶4] The Town's determination that Jones held only the position of Town Clerk when her term as Town Clerk expired is supported by substantial evidence. Perhaps the most compelling and dispositive evidence that substantiates the Town's determination is that an office clerk was hired months after Jones accepted the appointment as Town Clerk. Whatever expectations Jones might have held that she continued to occupy the position of office clerk must have ceased at that point. The entry is: Judgment affirmed.FOOTNOTES******************************** {1} Jones's appeal to the Superior Court was brought, inter alia, pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 80B. In her complaint, she alleges that the Town's Board of Selectmen unlawfully discussed issues regarding her employment in an executive session without her presence. Although this issue was raised in her complaint, it was not argued before the Superior Court. See Kelly v. University of Maine, 623 A.2d 169, 171 (Me. 1993) (issue not preserved on appeal when not raised in the Superior Court and when the Superior Court decided the case on an entirely different issue); Cyr v. Cyr, 432 A.2d 793, 797 (Me. 1981) ("No principle is better settled than that a party who raises an issue for the first time on appeal will be deemed to have waived the issue.").

text: Is anyone else impressed with Getz so far? I was pretty unexcited when the Royals acquired him (although I thought it was a good move since Teahen's usefulness with the Royals was clearly expiring) but looking again now, I think he may have been a really good pick-up. Getz walks a good amount (projected 8% of his PA's this year which is a TON for a Royal), and he hit .299 and .302 in 2007 and 2008 in the minors. His BA dropped down to .260 in 2009, his MLB rookie year, but his BB% and K% were pretty decent and only took small steps back from his minor league numbers. If he can cut down on a few strikeouts and bring his BABIP back up closer to where it was in the minors, he could consistently be a .350 OBP guy. He also had 25 SB's against only 2 CS's last year. While an above-average OBP and good baserunning won't make him an All-Star, it would certainly make him a valuable player at 2B, and would seem to make the Teahen trade a great success when factoring in player value, salary and service time. Is anyone else finding themselves warming up to Getz?

Probably 10 years.
Me personally? I wouldn't date someone more than 2 years younger than me & I wouldn't date anyone more than 6 years older than me. That's personal preference but I don't care nor do I judge for those that choose differently.
Right around 10 years, personally. I don't think age matters too much, I've never fit in with people my age and have always been more comfortable with people 10+ years older; I know plenty of other people who are the same way. It all depends on the individuals.
Five years older, one or two years younger. SO is seven months younger.
I have no interest in anyone my age or younger. I'm 23 and go for guys 25-28.
A year younger and idk 6 years older max.
5-7 years older, 2 years younger. I dated someone 13 years older than me and we really didn't have much in common. Maybe now it would be different because I'm older, but when I was 18-20 there's a difference.
Probably 10 year old at the most. Not younger.
I have "dated" a guy 21 years older though.
No one younger, 3-4 years older. I like guys in my age range.
i've dated guys 8-10 years older than me and i was comfortable with them, and didn't feel as if they were creepy. LOL. older than that, i'd feel awkward.
SO is 12 years older. I wouldn't date anyone older than him, and no one younger than 20 (I'm 23)
oh, and i'd probably never even date someone my own age. i have and, they sucked. :)
10 years older, no more than 5 years youngger.
I never have too much liked dating anyone younger than me. I have always had a thing for older men. The biggest age gap while in a relationship for me was 20 years. DH is only 13 months older than me though.

The New York Times' best-selling series by Piers Anthony is by far the best group of books around. This series is about a mystical land, where everything is operated by magic. The first Xanth novel. A Spell for Chameleon, won the August Derleth Fantasy Award as best novel in 1977. It describes the adventures of a young man, Bink, exiled from Xanth for not having a magic talent, his amazing travels back and the discovery of his powerful magic talent. There are eleven Xanth books, each has a mesmerizing tale of its own.
I am a kid who does not find reading interesting, but Anthony's Xanth series has all the elements I like: magic, fighting, friendship, wisdom, humor, imagination, everything you would like to see in a book. I feel part of the book, exploring this magical land and fending off ferocious monsters who appear only in fantasy books.
For readers out there, these may be the best books you will ever read. If you cannot find anything exciting to do, or if you hate reading books, I can assure you that once you open these books, your life will never be the same. n

It took Isaiah Armwood burying his first-ever Division 1 attempt from 3-point land to beat what was essentially the same George Mason team at the beginning of last season. What has changed between this year and last? For the most part it has been experience. Sure, the Patriots have added a few freshmen, but they key contributors remain the same, just more polished and improved.
George Mason is a team that is not afraid to take chances. In 2006, their coach called for the team to run a play with 10 minutes left in the game, and they continued to run that play for the next 25 possessions -- until their victory over UConn was secure. Jim Larranaga knows a few things about basketball, and he will be preparing to cook up a game plan to confuse the Wildcats and throw the team off-balance, just like he did in Puerto Rico.
The last time these two teams met, Ryan Pearson was the high-scorer for George Mason, and he has improved from his average of around 11 points last year to 14.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. The 6'6" junior forward is, however, only a close-second on the team in the points-category.
The scoring star of this team has been senior guard, Cam Long, who averages 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Long shoots 42.6% from 3-point range, and is the team leader in 3-point attempts. The third and fourth leading scorers (and regular starters) are sophomore forward Luke Hancock (10.7ppg) and Andre Cornelius (9.9ppg) -- but both were "banged up" in practice this week.
The fifth starter, Mike Morrison is perhaps your classic "glue" player. At 6'9", the junior center is the tallest of the Patriots' regulars, and will be tasked with matching up with Mouphtaou Yarou, most likely. Morrison is fifth on the team in scoring (6.7 ppg) and second in rebounding (5.3ppg).
Villanova, meanwhile, is expected to return to the three-guard lineup that earned them their hot start to this season. Maalik Wayns and Corey Fisher will both start and share duties at the point guard position, while Corey Stokes will play on the wing and Yarou and Antonio Pena will play the 5 and 4, respectively. With everyone healthy, Jay Wright will be able to go 9-deep on his bench in tomorrow's game.
Villanova has a notable height advantage on the high end, with Yarou and Mo Sutton both checking in a few inches taller than GMU's Morrison. That said, Cam Long is listed at 6'4", and may be a tough match-up for Villanova's smaller guards.
With nothing left to lose except their season, the Wildcats will hopefully discard the slowed-down, clock-killing "burn" offense, in favor of the more wide-open attack that has seen some success over the past few years. Key to any game, is being able to get the ball into the hands of Corey Stokes, something that happens far less often when the offense goes into "burn" mode.
Stokes is Villanova's second leading scorer, but trails Corey Fisher by less than a point. He is, by far, the team's best option from beyond the arc, shooting 43.4% from that range, and keeping defenders near the perimeter in the process. While Dominic Cheek and James Bell have both shown some ability to score from the perimeter (Cheek, remember, was a perfect 4-4 from deep in a game earlier this season), neither has had the opportunity to really fill that role.
Pena and Yarou, meanwhile, will be tasked with taking control in the paint, and they should at least have a size advantage down low. Moreso, perhaps, than scoring, Villanova will need a good performance from it's bigs on the offensive glass. Pena, however, has been a contributor on offense, and his mid-range jumper will hopefully re-appear to convert some of those offensive rebounds into points.
Mason is a capable team from the perimeter, and Villanova must be quick to pick up their defensive assignments, or risk getting lit up from deep. The Patriots are also adept, however, at getting to the free-throw line, and do so at only a slightly lower-rate than the Wildcats. At the line, the Patriots shoot 69% as a team.
Assuming Villanova's offense returns to normalcy on Friday afternoon, this could likely be a game that is decided on the free-throw line. George Mason gets to the line a good number of times in each game, but hasn't been as efficient there as Villanova. The 'Cats need to maximize their attempts from the charity-stripe, meanwhile, since about a quarter of their points this season have come in that fashion (and, frankly, we all watched as free-throw shooting bailed the ice-cold 'Cats out against Robert Morris last year).
This will be the last chance for Villanova to flex it's muscles and show the world that they can still win. By knocking off the 8th-seeded Patriots, they will earn themselves a Sunday showdown with the top-seeded Ohio State Buckeyes, a favorite of many to reach the Final Four, and perhaps win the title. A loss, however, would be the 6th-straight, and the 'Cats would whimper into the off-season with their tails between their legs and a whole lot of questions to answer.
The game will tip off at 2:10 PM from Cleveland, Ohio and will be broadcast live on TNT as well as available on-line from March Madness On Demand.

Beware the old woman offering you love.
That summed up some of the reaction to the Supreme Courtĺs unanimous ruling that struck down Massachusettsĺ buffer-zone law which kept women and men seeking to offer help, counsel, and prayer to women entering abortion clinics 35 feet away from the facilities.
ôEvery news story Iĺve seen about Eleanor McCullen, the 77-year-old lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court case, refers to her as a grandmotherly type, cheery and sweet,ö one Boston Globe columnist wrote in reaction to the Courtĺs decision. But, the writer concluded: ôIf your grandmother stands -- literally -- in the way of your right to get health care, your grandmother still needs to be stopped.ö
McCullen, who has spent almost 14 years devoted to helping women know they have alternatives to abortion, is, indeed, a grandmother with a wonderful smile. McCullen doesnĺt stand in the way of anyoneĺs health care. She offers a choice that a woman may not have known that she had.
But thatĺs not the way everyone sees it. ôThey make something that is already an emotional and horrific thing that is hard to choose to do, even harder,ö one woman who lives near the Boston clinic told a reporter.
This assertion underscores a point that Justice Antonin Scalia made in his concurring opinion: ôProtecting people from speech they do not want to hear is not a function that the First Amendment allows the government to undertake in the public streets and sidewalks.ö
Itĺs naive to believe that women walk into abortion clinics knowing all their options or that they can choose to protect the life of their unborn children in an environment of support and love. Such women need to hear the message that McCullen brings.
Counter to the accusation that pro-lifers donĺt care about children after they are born, Eleanor becomes a real, supportive presence in these womenĺs lives. Her husband, Joe, says that sheĺs on call as if she were an emergency-room doctor. An entire room in the coupleĺs house is full of baby clothes and toys, all donated. Sheĺll provide rent and support, help mothers and fathers get jobs and the skills they need.
ôWe help people and thatĺs all Iĺm trying to do -- help someone thatĺs desperate and abandoned,ö McCullen has said.
Asked to describe her work, McCullen said: ôI see myself as a compassionate counselor, helping women. I donĺt know these women, but I know theyĺre upset. Theyĺre abandoned. Theyĺre alone.ö Her method is to say: ôDonĺt rush in. You canĺt reverse this. Just wait.ö
ôI talk about adoption ... We help with medical. We help with housing ... We have some resources. We take them to the Archdiocese of Boston and we have resources,ö McCullen says.
Currently, Iĺm writing from the National Right to Life Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., is here on her lifeĺs work of marching for the civil rights of the unborn. But as is evident throughout the exhibit halls and speeches, this is about human life and dignity, period.
ôI used to talk about how we were treating our old people. Now Iĺm 64 and Iĺm really worried,ö King says. The question remains: Are we a people who respect life? We do have the right to choose. And perhaps some sidewalk counseling -- whether outside a Boston abortion clinic or on the steps of the Supreme Court -- might help us see a better way. The walk McCullen is now free to take with women is a step in the direction of building a culture of life, resting on the pillars of charity and sacrifice, away from the rotting foundation of convenience and indifference weĺve become all too accustomed to.

Rob Murphy wont be making the jump to the NBA after all.
The Eastern Michigan head coach, who was reportedly on his way to the Orlando Magic to take over the head-coach position there, will instead remain at Eastern Michigan, the Detriot Free Press reports.
MLive.com's Graham Couch originally reported Murphy would take the job in Orlando on Tuesday.
In his first year with Eastern Michigan, Murphy was named MAC Coach of the Year after leading his team to a division title and a 14-18 (9-7) record.
Reportedly, Murphy would have been responsible for a $210,000 payment to the school in order to break the contract and take the job with the Magic if he was interested in taking the gig.
"I would like to end the speculation about my leaving Eastern Michigan University," a statement released by Murphy read. "I am pleased to confirm I am remaining at EMU."
Murphy was previously a highly-regarded assistant coach at Syracuse under Orange coach Jim Boeheim.

You want to know why T.O. is a social pariah and not worth it for any team that could take a chance on him? Basically it boils down to the 24/7 media watchdog on him. I hate the guy, and he deserves all the crap he's getting but nothing he's done in Dallas has been particularly horrible compared to other places, and I'm sure it happens on NFL teams all the time and doesn't get reported. But the mass of media following him and nagging anyone within proximity of him, he has no value to a franchise.

"I'm probably just as good a mother as the next repressed, obsessive-compulsive paranoiac." ― Anne Lamott, Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year
1. Take a deep breath – it's gonna be okay.
2. It's perfectly okay for you not to know when to let go of the maternity pants.
3. Mothering a newborn can feel surprisingly isolating - join a local MOM's group that meets once a week.
4. Be prepared to lower your expectations of yourself (and your housekeeping standards).
5. It can take time to get the hang of breastfeeding (but once you get it, you've got it). If you're having difficulty (and even if you're not) try to get to weekly meetings through your local La Leche League or the lactation support team through your hospital. It's a great place to make new mom friends, get tips, and feel supported.
6. Get this sleep book: Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, by Dr. Marc Weissbluth. It will help you to understand your baby's need for sleep, how to deal with sleep problems, and what sleep schedule to expect for different ages. This book was the single most helpful book on parenting I ever read.
7. Babies are like cats: they need affection as much as they need food. You can never hug, kiss, hold, rock, soothe, wear, or love your baby too much.
8. Don't spend too much time worrying about how you will pass on your character defects to your child. Either you will or you won't. If you look at history, most of the greatest leaders had seriously flawed parents: Churchill's mother was one of them.
9. Being a mother is one of the most rewarding roles and yet the most challenging. You will probably need to adjust your fantasy of what you pictured motherhood to be like, and what you thought you would be like as a mother, with reality.
10. It all goes by in the blink of an eye – cherish this time before it's gone.

We decided to add our new our logos as stickers because they're just so cool looking. If we do get these stickers in CS:GO, then they could help fund a lot of Bloodbath related development (flying members over, program licenses, school, rent, etc.) So if you would leave us a vote on our new stickers, we'd appreciate it greatly! We'd even like some criticism, so don't be afraid to downvote it and leave a comment as to why you don't like it. Click the images below to go to the workshop pages.
Old multiplayer map that was going to be present on the Alpha.
i can understand rumpel totaly, there is so much effort in this mod and he is talking **** about this being not profesional and flaming at minor flaws behaving like these are major flaws, seriously wtf.
whoa, never saw rumpel in a HUEG rage haha
Indeed. While I may not agree with what coolgman has to say, that is certainly not the way to handle criticism.
Infact I've now lost alot of respect for rumpel.
As have I.
And besides, if you've got beef with TheCoolGman, take it to PMs. I would rather not like my modification page become a poopy throwing fest with **** stained walls.
Blame him. He started this shitstorm. One does simply not act like him.
"One does simply not act like him." This coming from an overly depressed and attention seeking idiot who can't take a hit.
This isn't "his" modification per se. It's technically mine, so if you would, **** the hell off and grow up along with that.
Hold the phone...Rumpel is actually acting like this right now..?Seriousy..?Can't we just enjoy overturn,CoF and other awesome mods without these kind of fights,especially since 2 weeks ago i was cursing Rumpel for his evil deeds in level design,i bet i'm gonna curse just as much with Joebama's.Well,end of this fight folks

The RVibrake2 system will work very well in the Jeep CJ7. It is design to be very versatile and comes with all equipment needed for a quick and easy installation. If a different stop bracket is needed for the unit the factory will supply it immediately. If you are at the Brooksville Fl SEA rally it will be demonstrated and available.

I've towed a Jeep Liberty for 3000 miles with one. I like the unit. The only thing I don't care for is that it doesn't show me much braking until I really stand on the brake in the motor home.

I used the first version for the last two years and about 8000 miles. Worked good and easy to setup and store. I just upgraded to version 2 but haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I expect it to be just as good or better. They are great people to work with.

Farmers brought a wide variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables grown in the region to Perkins School for the Blind on Sept. 20.
Perkins students had a hands-on, educational experience identifying plants, making herbal tea, and sampling a mouth-watering smorgasbord made from local ingredients, including vegetables from the campus garden. Two baby dairy goats stole the show and students' hearts. The event was part of the Massachusetts Farm to School Project.

An Atlanta man was charged with conspiracy and three counts of wire fraud after he fraudulently booked airline reservations by pretending to be a flight crew member, according to authorities.
Gilbert Myers Jr., 37, was arrested Thursday at a Beverly Hills hotel after agreeing to meet a potential traveler who was actually an undercover FBI agent.
An indictment outlines a conspiracy to defraud air carriers in which travelers would illegally board aircrafts while pretending to be employees of other airlines.
In exchange for arranging their travel as "non-rev" employee travelers, Myers typically charged $2,000 for one year of free flights.
The indictment alleges that fraudulent travelers used Myers' services to fly in and out of Los Angeles County airports by pretending to be in-flight crew members employed by other airlines.
According to reports, to obtain boarding passes, Myers called the airline's reservation call center and gave the airline's representative a bogus employee identification number.
With the fraudulently obtained boarding pass and their real photo identification, the fraudulent traveler would go through Transportation Security Administration security screening.The indictment details a small number of flights, but investigators believe that Myers fraudulently booked hundreds of flights on air carriers such as JetBlue Airways and United Airlines, causing the victims to suffer hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.
Myers is expected to be arraigned on the indictment this in downtown Los Angeles.
The case against Myers is the result of an investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Sigh. Dating. What hasn't been talked about with this topic? We don't know a single person who actually enjoys the process of dating. If the Russian mail order bride wasn't a scam, every man on earth would signup for that shit in a heartbeat. The social norms one has to obey to have a slight chance of hooking up with your newly met stranger is one that most wish they could avoid at all costs.
And the first date is the worst date of them all. Awkward flatulence. Surprise wheelchair bound dates. All this bullshit testing the waters and feeling each other out over bad Italian food and sappy lounge music are usually the backdrop for first dates.
But after further research, we've determined that your first dates have likely never compared to some of these tragic tales.
Something In Common
Before Portland became a hipster wasteland of singer-songwriting bicycle riding organic loving people where love is found at the local hip pub with cat pictures on the walls… people were setup on dates. By friends. Without Facebook or EHarmony. It's how they did things in those days.
In December 1958, Dorothy Manewal (16) and Richard Gillette (22) were introduced at a party and hit it off. They decided the next step for them was a first date. This was the biggest mistake in their lives. On the date, the two got off swimmingly and really liked each other. Conversations were pleasant. Dinner was swell. Everything seemed perfect for these two Portlanders. That is until they realized something: they were brother and sister.
After revealing their real names, the two discovered that when their mother died ten years earlier, they were adopted in separate homes. Talk about an epic disaster. Nothing in the article mentions kissing or getting to second base, but who knows if these two are taking something dark and disturbing to the grave.
The Sedated Chimp
A widowed 32 year-old chimpanzee, Judy, lost all hope in life when her lifetime companion died. That is until a 10 year-old chimp, Gombe, stepped up to the plate in an effort to cure her loneliness. But in order for this date to happen, Gombe had to travel across the plains of Argentina and over the Andes Mountains to reach the Santiago Zoo in Chile.
For safety reasons, Gombe had to be sedated for the entire trip. Talk about not being setup under your willpower. AND there still was no guarantee Judy and Gombe would hit off. Upon meeting Judy acted aggressively, but soon was throwing poop in Gombe's face which means there might be a future for these two after all.
Advice: if you're being sedated for a first date, stay single. Even if you're a chimp.
We Ate at Chipotle
"I picked him up from the car wash and then we ate at Chipotle. Very sexy."
Your lonely single life has been one sexy raging party in the eyes of Kim Kardashian. A car wash and Chipotle was the setting for Reggie Bush and Kim's first date. Kim goes on to say how they love doing nothing and that doing nothing is just really really sexy. With all the money in the world these two decide to spend a few bucks at Chiptole and a couple of quarters at the Shell Car Wash. This first date gave all the signs that this relationship was not going to end well. And the biggest loser of them all is the toilet seat post-date.
Dine and Ditch
In Detroit, at a classy Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant, Terrance McCoy (seen above) pulled a move no one saw coming: he dined and ditched with his date's car. Apparently, Old T. McCoy pulled the move off when the check came and he told the unnamed woman that he left his wallet in her car. She hands McCoy the keys and the next thing you know she's watching her Impala pull out of the Wild Wings parking lot and out of sight.
It's one thing to steal your date's car, but there's no excuse for not picking up the bill. Chivalry is shit these days. Next time, pay for the food and stick to the popcorn trick move.
Oh Facebook. You so silly. A mother of two gets hooked up on a first date with a guy she met on Facebook, only to find she was being used as the getaway driver in a robbery. So how can Facebook fuck this one up so royally? Let's see.
First, Leah Gibbs (seen above, looking understandably depressed) agrees to give her first date, Adam Minton, a lift to a casino where he needed to make a "quick stop." Thinking this is normal typical first date stuff, Leah thought nothing of it and assumed he was throwing 50K on black or something. She's a sexy classy single lady with two kids, why shouldn't her man be a high-roller? Minutes later, Minton runs out with a bag full of cash. What a lucky girl, right? This guy literally hit the jackpot!
What was really going on didn't dawn on Leah until she noticed Minton was also sporting a black bandana and wielding a knife screaming "DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE" as he entered the car. Leah was later arrested that night, but being the swell gentleman Minton is, he confessed she had no involvement in the crime. Isn't that sweet of him? In the end, the house wins and love is hit with another sucker punch to the vagina.

Technology touches almost every part of our everyday lives, yet some schools lag behind when it comes to integrating technology into classrooms.
One high school science teacher is exploring the true potential that technology offers for teaching and learning.
"Here at Southwood High School we'll start with some basic building knowledge of learning science skills" says Kathryn Pease.
Here in Kathryn Pease's biology class, students enter her classroom everyday looking forward to learn. That's because they are encouraged to use their mobile devices for assignments.
"Students, they love to use technology in the classroom so from there we will actually get them to get their phones out and find ways to build their knowledge set using their phones such as app's" says Pease.
Student, Teriana Hall says the use of technology such as iphones, ipads and other devices brings class lessons on mitosis, meiosis and cell division to life.
"We do fundable's and we like label parts in the cell and we just, it will be pictures and we will label them and we just read them" says Hall.
It's technology designed to help students acquire the skills they need to survive in a complex, technological based world.
"Using the technology has the students more engaged in the classroom and when your students are actually engaged in the classroom they are actually learning more and they are wanting to gain further knowledge and understanding" says Pease.
Educators say there are several advantages to using technology in the classroom. They say it's a great tool for motivating and engaging students of all learning styles. And, educators better prepare students for the future when using technology aimed at addressing each learning style.
Here's the 7 day forecast.

What a month this has been….. 12 inches of snow in Dallas, Superbowl 2011 , 4 more inches of snow, almost 1 week stuck at home with kids + chores + more of working remotely, SQLSaturday#63 screaming for attention and top it all off with an application process for SQLRally 2012 and finally rolling out an exciting piece of application that I have been working on around Data Governance. It just could not get busier.
Personally I am very excited about the fact that we submitted the application to Host SQLSaturday 2012. It took me about 20 hours and about 80+ emails from various people, vendors to get everything in together. I believe we have put a super strong proposal that is going to make PASS look very hard at us.
Then comes the process of voting for the host city. I will update this blog as the voting begins.
The SQLSaturday #63 activities are going at jet speed. We just finalized the first draft of sessions and sent speakers letting them know about their selection. The team voted to bring Paciugo Gelato back in. This is our trademark for our event and we hope to continue this as long as the vendor does not dramatically increase the prices.
SQLSaturday#63-Pre-con : I am super excited to announce that we will have a SQLSaturday#63 pre-con. We are doing this for the first time.
Karla Landrum in her recent blog talked about SQLSaturday attendee profile. I had some numbers from SQLSaturday 35 and wanted to see how the numbers looked for SQLSaturday 56 ( BI Edition ) and for SQLSaturday 63 ( coming up on April 2nd ). Here is how it looks.

COLUMBIA, La. (KNOE 8 News) - The disabled Carnival Cruise Ship Triumph is slowly being towed back to port.
It's an agonizing day for the 4,000 people on board, and the families waiting for them.
Among those stranded are people from right here in Northeast Louisiana.
Mallory Fatheree says the communication on the ship has been very poor from the beginning. She says family members are telling them they are arriving later before the ship even does.
Knifeworks in Columbia remains closed, after Fatheree and 18 of her fellow coworkers, and boss are stranded on the ship. Their boss took them on a cruise, as a work reward.
Fatheree says she waited in line four 4 hours just to get a hamburger. She says she isn't going hungry, there is one grill and other buffets that remain open.
At night just to get airflow, people are lining the halls with mattresses, others are even sleeping on the deck.
Fatheree says, "when you walk through the hallways its really disgusting cause there is just bags of trash and other nasty things everywhere. We've been going to bed basically when the sun goes down and we wake up right when it comes up just to feel safer."
Knifeworks in Columbia posted this comment on their website saying in part, "...The cruise ship we were on has had some mechanical problems, we will not be back into the states until later this week..."
Fatheree says they should be able to get off the ship later Thursday night. They plan on driving back to Louisiana, immediately. Listen to the Full Interview (link will not work for mobile!)

From reds.com
Nine years after beginning his Major League career in Pittsburgh, left-hander Scott Sauerbeck is trying to make his way back home.
The addition of Bako increases the Reds' depth behind the plate by adding a veteran catcher with 10 years of Major League experience. In those 10 years, Bako has been traded four times and has already played for nine different big league clubs. All combined, the 35-year-old catcher has a career .233 average.
Bako begins the 2008 season off the heels of a one-year stint as the Orioles' backup catcher. In 60 games for Baltimore last year, Bako hit .205 with one home run and eight RBIs.
The addition of Sauerbeck and Bako brings the list of Reds Spring Training non-roster invitees to 19.

"Wrestlers tend to have bigger legs, bigger hips and butt and a stronger back...Combine all those things, and what really makes you throw punches are your legs and your butt. I think that's really where my power comes from, that ability to make those quick hip movements. In wrestling you have to react in seconds, in a blink of an eye. That's the same in fighting: Your hips have got to be able to react on their own. I think that's one reason I can hit so hard. I just let my body take over. I let my eyes see what needs to be seen and I let my body react the way it needs to react...You don't have to hit someone that hard to knock someone out...The way that I hit people, I don't hit them that hard. I hit them 80 percent, just like training. What I do is I really focus on the accuracy part. If you move your head, I still want to be able to hit you. If you lean back, I still want to be able to touch you. I think that's the most important part. No matter what happens, whenever I throw a punch, I at least want to get close enough that they have to respect it."
-- Top-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight contender Johny Hendricks explains his punching power to Fight Land. "Bigg Rigg" believes his storied background as an amateur wrestler provided him with the physical principals needed to become one of the biggest power punchers in mixed martial arts (MMA) today. Hendricks says that when he tries to hit an opponent, he isn't focused on landing powerful shots, but instead being accurate with his strikes in order to score. It just so happens that when he does hit his opponent, the power built up in his legs, hips, butt and back from a lifetime of wrestling training gives him a punch few fighters are able to take on the chin and continue moving forward. Whatever Hendricks is doing clearly works, as the 29-year-old has earned knockout victories in eight of his 15 professional wins as well as producing three 'Knockout of the Night' winning efforts in the UFC, the most in the history of the organization's welterweight division.

Well, these next ten weeks or so may be brutal. So to take my mind off the playoff party that we were not invited to, I started to think about who on the current roster should stay and who should go.
First, the No Brainers:
Stay: John Tavares, Matt Moulson, Matt Martin, Travis Hamonic, Evgeni Nabokov, Casey Cizikas, Frans Nielsen, Mark Streit.
Go: Steve Staios, Jay Pandolfo, Milan Jurcina, John Grahame (just for kicks), Mark Eaton, Al Montoya.
It gets a little more complicated after that.
Michael Grabner, Kyle Okposo, Josh Bailey - Of the rest of the players on the roster, I think these three are the least likely to move on. Say what you want about Grabner's frustrations (all swedish, no finnish!), the guy has 54 goals the past two seasons and is a threat at all times. Giving up on him as part of a package for something less than Rick Nash would be a mistake. The same goes for Okposo. It has pretty much become cliche to say "well, Okposo is never going to be that consistent 30 goal scorer we wanted." Oh well, he's a solid role player and is a perfect complementary forward. He's as streaky as they come, but I think KO is worth keeping around. Bailey is a lot tougher to judge than his two pals. His flashes are a lot shorter, albeit flashier than KO's, but the jury is still out there on the 22 year old (will be 23 at the start of the season). Personally, I think Bailey is expendable because of the talent we have waiting in the wings. But once again, I wouldn't be surprised if Bails was moved that he didn't turn into a 50 point guy on a good team. That being said, he will most likely get a chance to finish out his contract. At that point he will have played 5 (!!!!) NHL seasons, so we should know if he's worth it.
PA Parenteau - I think I can speak for Islander Nation when I say, PA coming back would be muy bueno. However, if someone throws a Wisniewski type deal at the Hull native, he will be taking his talents there. I think he wants to be here so I think the odds are still in our favor, but we need to prepare for the worst here.
Andrew MacDonald - I think MacDonald is a solid bottom pair guy with some offence to boot, but I also think with guys like Matt Donovan, Calvin de Haan, and Aaron Ness in the AHL, MacDonald could be valuable in a package to bring in a big name here. A-Mac is a warrior and I respect his game, but I can absolutely see him somewhere else.
Nino Niederreiter - I only left Nino off the no brainers for one reason. I think he is about 99% to stay, but I would love to see Garth dangle him in front of Scott Howson's face at the draft. Nino played with the Blue Jackets' 4th overall pick in 2010, Ryan Johansen. The two of them flourished together in the Pacific Northwest and that is a good bargaining chip in a trade if we had to include Nino in a package for say, Rick Nash? Anyways I know it's a pipe dream, but if Nash wants out that bad and the price is too steep for most teams, well the Islanders should not be afraid to maybe take a chance on trading away il Nino. I would like to reiterate, pipe dream.
Marty Reasoner - I don't know what it is about me, but I am a sucker for Reasoner's game. I have always loved the way he plays when the other team has the puck, and I don't think he's a liability at any point. Obviously his skill set is not there, but he wins draws, is willing to block shots, and has hockey sense. I think that he is 50/50 to return. But on a good team, Reasoner would be valuable as a 4th line center. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he is swapped for a low pick or even bought out this summer, but I'd like to see him given another chance to be the 4th line center next year.
Dylan Reese - I like Reese's game. I think he's a perfect 6/7 guy. I liken him to Jack Hillen and Freddy Meyer and think that of the three Reese is the most impressive. His speed makes up for the lack of finish on his game, and he is not going to cry over being a healthy scratch for handful of games at a time. If the rest of the NHL was paying attention, Reese will get scooped up on a one-way deal for more money than he's worth. But if we can hold onto him, we should.
Not even going to touch the DiPietro sitch.
Alright, hope you enjoyed.

Clinical. No better way to describe the performance of Team Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics. While there was no golden goal like Sidney Crosby's overtime winner four years earlier in Vancouver, it wasn't needed today. In a defensive display that every young hockey player should watch, Canada blanked Sweden 3-0 to capture its second straight Olympic gold medal, and its third in five Olympic tournaments.
In the three elimination games, Canada conceded only one goal, and that was against Latvia in the quarterfinals. A shutout against the United States in the semifinal was followed by a complete smothering of Tre Krona in the biggest game.
Jonathan Toews opened the scoring at the 12:55 mark of the first period, redirecting a Jeff Carter shot off the side boards. Sidney Crosby made it 2-0 as he sped in all alone on Henrik Lundqvist, and make a nice move to his backhand to slide it past the prone Swedish goalie at the 15:43 mark of the second period. Chris Kunitz sealed the deal at the 9:00 minute mark of the third period, as he fired a wrist shot over the glove of Lundqvist and into the top corner of the net. For all three players, it was their first goal of the tournament and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Carey Price was excellent yet again between the pipes for Canada, making 24 saves to record his second consecutive shutout of the tournament. While not making the spectacular save, Price was focused, played his angles extremely well and was a calming presence throughout the tourney.
Price had plenty of help from his teammates. The defence, led by Drew Doughty and Shea Weber were simply outstanding in Sochi. How good was Canada in their own end? Sweden has ZERO scoring chances in the third period. I repeat, Sweden had ZERO scoring chances in the third period. This was as dominating a defensive performance anyone has ever seen. The likes of Duncan Keith, Alex Pietrangeo, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Jay Bouwmeester and Dan Hamhuis deserve plenty of accolades for their efficient work.
The forwards had been criticized for not scoring enough, but they all knew their roles and played theme to a tee. Toews was outstanding in mainly a checking role, shutting down the top centres from other countries. Rick Nash embraced his fourth line role, and played like a true grinder, winning battles on the boards and using his size and strength to push around opposing defenders on the forecheck. Matt Duchene had an excellent game for Canada, using his speed to completely frustrate his Swedes. If the NHL goes back to the Olympics in 2018, the young Colorado Avalanche star will be an automatic choice to don the red and white sweater. The goals didn't come very easily, but it didn't matter as everybody did the job they had to do to get the job done.
This gold is vindication for the management team as well. Steve Yzerman and company were under considerable pressure from Canadian fans and media the moment the team was selected. Why was Chris Kunitz on the team? Where is Claude Giroux? Why not Brent Seabrook? Admittedly, I was critical of some of the choices Hockey Canada made to the roster. However, Yzerman and head coach Mike Babcock silenced the critics by playing a style that suited to the big ice surface and sticking to the plan throughout. If Yzerman wants the job for either the World Cup or the Olympics, he will be the easy choice to run Team Canada.
- Sweden received a major blow before the puck was dropped as Nicklas Backstrom tested positive for a banned substance and was suspended for the gold medal game. The Washington Capitals centre tested for pseudoephedrine commonly found in Zyrtec D, an allergy supplement. Backstrom was battling allergies throughout so medication was needed. The IOC is very strict on these things, perhaps too strict. The Swedes look deflated before the game started and it showed in their play. The story was broke by Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy and you can read more about it here. Backstrom's suspension, combined with injuries to Henrik Zetterberg and Henrik Sedin made Sweden vulnerable up the middle and they just couldn't keep up with Canada's depth.
- Teemu Selanne was named MVP of the Olympic tournament. The 43-year-old Finnish legend capped off his stellar international career by winning the bronze medal, his fourth career medal. While arguments could be made for Doughty who was sensational for Canada, Selanne is a great choice as he is respected by both fans and media. His play wasn't too shabby either. The Anaheim Ducks winger tallied 4 goals and 2 assists in six games, including scoring twice in Finland's 5-0 shellacking of the Unites States in the bronze medal game.
- The NHL resumes to reality on Tuesday night and with that, the debate will rage on whether the league will send its best to Pyeonchang, South Korea in 2018. The players want to go, but the owners don't want any part of sending its assets to Asia. This won't be the end you will hear of this fight.

Jimmy Garoppolo QB
Eastern Illinois University
6'3 222 lb.s
2014 NFL Draft
A "nobody" from Arlington Heights, Illinois, well someone no major FBS college wanted. A Senior at Eastern Illinois Univerisity, Garoppolo is a two time Walter Payton Award Candidate. Garoppolo has been the reigning starter since half way through his freshman year where he threw for 1,639 yards, 14 TD's, 13 INT, and a completion % of 58.8 percent, respectfully.
As a sophomore Garoppolo started 11 games throwing for over 2,600 yards with 20 TD passes growing as a passer with a 62.2 completion percentage. In 2012, as a junior, he grew astronomically numbers wise throwing for 3,823 yards with 31 TD passes being not only a FCS leader statistically but also taking his team from 2-9 to 7-5.
Going into his senior season in 2013 most scouts and analyst were focused on Teddy Bridgewater, Marcus Mariota and Derek Carr. With right reason no one draws much interest in the lower regions of the FCS, especially at EIU. So Jimmy Garoppolo really drew some interest when he threw for over 5,000 yards, 53 TD's, 9 INTs, and a completion percentage of 66.0%. While those numbers aren't guaranteed to translate to the NFL level, the potential and obvious signs of annual progress is worth further evaluation, let me begin.
Arm strength: Garoppolo does not have a cannon for an arm. But he has a solid arm that can translate to the NFL level. No, he doesn't have Brett Favre-like arm strength, its more prevalent to guys like Aaron Rodgers or Joe Flacco, pre-NFL. His arm will obviously grow with a NFL strength program as will "most" NFL level QB's. He does show he can drive the ball, at times he "flutters" but overall he gets the ball where it needs to go with a career completion percentage of 62.8%.
Pocket presence: This is something that is an absolute necessity at the NFL level. Garoppolo exercises great awareness and ability to escape and evade a collapsing pocket. He is consistently moving his feet using his elite awareness to detect a pass rush. In his 4 year career he was sacked a total of 94 times, making smart decisions to get the ball out before rendering a loss of yards. He lacks a solid frame so durability could be an issue. But that doesn't begin to over shadow that he is a good athlete with quick feet and a better than average play speed (4.77). He plays mostly from a spread or pistol formation but will line up under center at times. And with quick feet and athleticism to move around in the pocket and his ability to keep plays alive, he can be considered a dual threat.
Footwork: Jimmy expresses a quickness, always shuffling and rotating his his body keeping his head on a constant swivel. Because footwork and awareness is the hardest habit to break, what Jimmy lacks in superior arm strength, he makes up for with excellent footwork. If I were to compare how he's always moving his feet in the right way it'd be a lot like Peyton Manning. Obviously, he's not Peyton Manning, no one is, but Jimmy demonstrates solid footwork with quick feet spells meaning excellent pieces for full body mechanics. WIth great on the move throws its almost too good to pass up. It's far less to work on, on the pro level, when it comes to the word "project".
Arm release/mechanics: Garoppolo has a smooth arm release and a solid over arm movement and he stays consistent when it comes to overall range mechanics. Some say because of his smaller hands a lot of his balls come out a little wobbly, but because of his quick release there is no ill results of his passes. With a definitive passing mechanic he doesn't throw side arm or 3/4 and he doesn't submarine throw like Tebow. He keeps both hands up and moves his lower body fluidly to create such smooth overall arm mechanics and silky clean consistency. He will still force a throw at times, but with only 9 interceptions in 568 throws, he is keeping his mistakes to an impressive minimum.
Leadership: Last but not least, I feel like this has to be a given at the quarterback position. The level of intensity and accountability that Garoppolo expects from his teammates is humbling. From year one at EIU Jimmy knew he wanted change, he also knew it took more than a QB to get them there, and thats what he does, Jimmy pulls the best out of every player on that roster. 2-9, 7-5, 12-2 thats the definition of leadership progress. I personally don't judge a QB by their win/losses, but I make an exception for this case. Jimmy Garoppolo defined himself as successful by wins and losses, not by statistics or awards, I feel like thats a quality you cannot put on paper. (Although I am now..)
While some would consider success at a lower level, a mark against a QB, I do not. Putting the ball in an area for your receivers is irrelevant of talent levels. Making reads, mechanics, and footwork are the tools to success at the next level and Jimmy oozes talent for the NFL level. His confidence and poise is unteachable, footwork is meticulous, and mechanics are silky smooth. So while he lacks Favre and Brady arm strength, there is no doubt he can develop and succeed with the right atmosphere and weapons to further him.
These are simple assessments I've made from basic film analyzations. I'm a huge fan of film breakdown and underdogs. And luckily, this has components of both, so its a win win in my book. I hope I peaked your interest in my most favorable quarterback in this year's draft class. And for those of you that are already familiar with Jimmy Garoppolo, I hope I gave you an even deeper insight of what I see in this QB. I'd love to hear of any feedback or any other players anyone would like me to analyze and review.

On Monday, jury selection began in the trial of Clayton Antwain Shanklin, 26, of Parrish, who is charged with first-degree capital murder during a robbery, first-degree capital murder during a burglary and attempted murder.
Walker County Circuit Judge Doug Farris, who will hear the case, said he expects jury selection to continue today. "Our goal is to get started Wednesday morning," Farris said.
Shanklin allegedly killed Michael Crumpton, 21, and attempted to kill his wife, Ashley Crumpton, on Oct. 12, 2009. He has been held in Walker County Jail since his Oct. 16, 2009, arrest.
Farris said the bulk of the questionnaire being given to potential jurors is designed to gauge their attitudes regarding capital punishment.
"The death penalty is at stake," said Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair. "We'll hopefully get the case under way as far as opening statements and presenting witnesses later in the week."
One witness expected to be called on to testify during the trial is Ashley Crumpton, who survived the attack despite being shot.
"The spouse, Mrs. Crumpton, will testify," Farris said.
Shanklin's trial was originally scheduled for August. However, it was postponed because of issues regarding evidence, according to Farris.
Shanklin's co-defendant, Kevin Shanklin, 23, who faces the same charges, is expected to be tried in February, according to Farris. Kevin Shanklin is also expected to face the death penalty if convicted.
Cordova Police Chief Kenneth Bobo, who investigated the murder along with the Walker County Sheriff's Department, said he is pleased to see the case moving forward.
Clayton Antwain Shanklin reportedly shot Michael Crumpton several times with a hand gun at the Crumptons' home on Warrior River Lane in Cordova. The couple's two young children were reportedly asleep in another room of the Crumptons' home when the murder took place.
Kevin Shanklin and another suspect, Tracy Lynn Ward, were arrested on Oct. 14, 2009. Ward was reportedly charged with murder, felony murder, attempted robbery and attempted murder.
Clayton Antwain Shanklin was arrested Oct. 16, 2009, at the Royal Inn motel in Albertville by Albertville and Boaz police.

A Columbus woman has been charged with false report of crime after she claimed she and her 2-month-old baby were held hostage inside a hotel, police say.
Inconsistencies in her story lead police to believe the incident was not accurately reported. The woman, identified as Jasmine Gordon, claimed two men were holding her captive inside the hotel; however three men were inside the room at the time. She also said she was being held at gunpoint, but no weapon was recovered from the scene.
Police responded to the hostage call at around 5 a.m. Wednesday morning and searched for the woman inside several hotels on Victory Drive and Veterans Parkway. She was eventually found inside Howard Johnson Motel on Veterans Parkway. The woman and her baby were both unharmed.
Three suspects were taken into custody at the scene. Perry Hubbard, David Horton, and Sherry Jones are all charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug related objects. Jones is also charged with prostitution.
The woman's baby is now in her sister's custody.

1. He's the Big Ten's best offensive player
Braxton Miller, Ohio State's junior quarterback, won the Big Ten's Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year award for the second consecutive year last week. Coupled with halfback Carlos Hyde, who won the Big Ten award for top running back, Miller leads a running attack that rolls up 321.3 yards per game on the ground, second in the nation. Miller ran for 809 yards and eight scores in eight Big Ten games. He can also throw when needed: Miller threw for 1,551 yards in eight Big Ten games, completing 19 touchdowns against just four interceptions in Big Ten play.
Miller's play has made Ohio State one of the nation's most potent offenses. The Buckeyes are averaging 48 points per game -- third in the country -- and have been held below 40 points only twice all season. That Ohio State offense will face its greatest test so far Saturday.
2. He's changing with the weather
Miller's first two downfield throws in last week's game against Michigan were nowhere near their intended targets. They were so bad that the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Ari Wasserman had to take exception:
Braxton Miller is one of the most exciting players to watch in college football, but what's up with his arm? The first two downfield targets he had against the Wolverines, he missed completely. Really, his accuracy has been rather inconsistent all year, which is staggering to think about because he came into the Michigan game completing nearly 70 percent of his throws.
As the Big Ten weather has deteriorated and his struggles have continued, Miller has adapted. Through Ohio State's November 2 win over Purdue, Miller was completing 72 percent of his pass attempts and had thrown for more than 200 yards in four consecutive games. Since then, his passing statistics have tanked: In three games, Miller has completed just 49 percent of his pass attempts, for an average of just 148 yards per game. However, as Miller's passing has fallen off, his running has improved. Miller has averaged 160 rushing yards per game in those three contests, 100 yards per game more than he had averaged to that point. He has also scored six of his eight rushing touchdowns in those three games.
Saturday's game is played indoors, so we will soon know whether Miller's accuracy woes have been due to the weather conditions. But even if they are not, Miller has adapted to using a rather effective Plan B.
3. He's not Ohio State's only quarterback
Only Ohio State can have so much talent at quarterback that it can lose the two-time conference Offensive Player of the Year and not miss a beat. If Miller is injured or otherwise unable to play, senior Kenny Guiton is waiting in the wings. Guiton guided the Buckeyes to three wins in non-conference play while Miller was out injured, completing 68 percent of his pass attempts and throwing 12 touchdown passes. Guiton also ran for 180 yards in those three games. He was good enough that head coach Urban Meyer openly contemplated a quarterback change when Miller struggled early in the Big Ten season.
Miller has since rebounded, and is unquestionably the Buckeyes' starting quarterback. But if Michigan State manages to take him out of the game, Ohio State is far from dead.

Prom date denial investigated in Conn. school killing
Friday, April 25, 2014 12:17 PM EDT
Monday, April 28, 2014 5:29 AM EDT
MILFORD, Conn. (
) -- A 16-year-old girl was stabbed to death inside a Connecticut high school. A teenage boy is in custody, and police are investigating whether she was stabbed because she declined to be his date at the junior prom.
Emergency responders were called to Jonathan Law High School in Milford early Friday. Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Feser identified the victim as Maren Sanchez. Police Chief Keith Mello says a 16-year-old boy was taken into custody. FOX Connecticut says their sources have identified the teen as Chris Plaskon of Milford, Connecticut.
Police say that staff members and paramedics performed live-saving measures on Sanchez, but that she later died at a hospital.
Students described an emotional scene with people crying as police and paramedics swarmed the school. Sanchez's cousin said that the attack was devastating and shocking. He also believes that it's a call to take action against violence in schools.
"The unprovoked attack on Maren this morning has unfortunately, for our family, resulted in the permanent loss of Maren Victoria Sanchez, a bright light full of hopes and dreams with her future at her fingertips. Maren should be celebrating at her prom this evening, with her friends and classmates. Instead we are mourning her death and we are trying as a community to understand this senseless loss of life," Edward Kovac, Sanchez's cousin, said.
Dr. Ellen Braaten, a Harvard professor and child psychologist at Mass General Hospital, says that even though police are not certain that rejection played a role in the violence, it is still an open door for parents to talk with their kids about how to turn someone, or something, down.
"We're definitely desensitized to kindness with the social media with the kinds of television programs and video games kids watch," Braaten said.
She went on to say, "This is a good time for parents for you to say to your child, you know what, you have to take responsibility if you do or you don't want to do something and you need to act in a way that's caring to that person."
According to FOX News, Sanchez was an honor student, a manager of the swim team and heavily involved in community service.
The junior prom had been scheduled for Friday evening, but was postponed because of the stabbing. Students at the school held a vigil for Sanchez Friday night and plan to wear purple Monday in her memory.
Plaskon's lawyer says he expects his client to face a murder charge as an adult offender, but as of right now he is charged as a juvenile.
The 16-year-old is being held at a medical facility and will not appear in court on Monday.

Insurance CIOs: How to Be Secure and Profitable in the Cloud
Making Dollars and SenseAlfred Goxhaj (pictured right)
SVP, CIO, Philadelphia Insurance Companies (Bala Cynwyd, Pa.)
Security is a concern when it comes to cloud-based solutions, but the technology exists today to address even the most acute needs for privacy protections. While cloud solutions have become more secure, though, a careful evaluation is needed to ensure their efficiency. Here are some important considerations:
• Integration with the carrier's active directory, dual-factor authentication or identity management solutions is complicated; they may require additional investments to be made for specific utilities and tools.
• The above will need to be coupled with strong encryption solutions. All carrier-to-cloud messaging needs to be encrypted, and data needs to be encrypted at rest, in transition and for disposition.
• Additional architectural measures need to be put in place; data isolation is the most critical. Complete isolation will not only positively add to the business case, it will make it easier to move the solution in-house if the vendor fails to meet its service-level agreements.
• Cloud-based solution providers must be able to comply with and pass audits with the stringent requirements for financial transactions in various industry frameworks, such as SAS70, WebTrust and others.

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief has censured the Bahraini government for discriminating against the country's Shia majority.
On Thursday, the UN body criticized the Persian Gulf kingdom after it expelled the representative of prominent Shia religious authority Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Press TV reported.
"Targeting the most senior and influential Shia religious figure in Bahrain may amount to intimidating and thus discriminating against the entire Shia Muslim community in the country because of its religious beliefs," Heiner Bielefeldt said in a statement.
Iran has also criticized the move after Manama decided to revoke Najati's citizenship. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian called the move provocative and wrong.
Bielefeldt added that the case of Sheikh Hussein al-Najati is a stark illustration of the broader mistreatment of Shia Muslims in Bahrain.
"I understand that Mr. Najati has consistently refrained from engaging into politics, and has maintained his position and activities strictly in the realm of his religion," Bielefeldt stated, adding, "He is not known to have advocated violence or its use, or to have committed acts that would undermine national security or public order, nor has he been charged or sentenced for committing such acts."
He also said the move appears to be a religiously-motivated discrimination and a gross violation of internationally-recognized human rights.
"Discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief constitutes a violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms," Bielefeldt added.
Manama has launched a heavy-handed crackdown on anti-regime protesters since the uprising against the ruling Al Khalifa broke out across the kingdom in February 2011.

Tom's of Maine is hosting a chat tonight on their Facebook Page with green guru Sophie Uliano. She'll give you tips on how to live green fabulously, without breaking the bank! The chat is tonight, Wednesday, September 15, 2010 – 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST / 8:00 p.m.to 9:00 p.m. EST
Dr. Murad (yes, he of the amazing skin care line) is about to release a new book, The Water Secret. I have to admit, I first heard about this water theory of his (during a bloggers' tour of Murad in the summer of 2008), I was a bit skeptical. Something about the water content of our bodies changing as we age (this is true, the water content of a baby is different than a toddler than a teen than your 80 year old grandma), and that this was related to aging. Truly, this was about all that was mentioned on the tour and I was thinking this sounded a bit strange.
Fast forward a few years, and Dr. Murad has released a book about his theory. I have an advance copy and while I haven't read it yet (truthfully, I've been a bit busy studying for Critical Care Boards in a few months and being a pregnant sleepy person), I have skimmed it and the bits of it I've read do make sense. There's a lot in there about improving your diet by increasing fruits and veggies, paying attention to your body's signals, etc. All of that sounds good to me. Hopefully I'll have a chance to read more of the book soon, but already I admit that it isn't as new-age as it all sounds. Really, it sounds just like improving your life style.
If you're interested in learning more about his theory and how you could change your habits, Dr. Murad will be holding a webinar on September 22nd at 11AM PST (2PM EST). Murad is offering a special promotion for Webinar attendees. Those who pre-order a copy of the book will receive a bonus size AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser (The cleanser is worth $62, I used to use it a few years ago and I really loved it. I have a tube of it in my skin care stash that I pull out every now and then, I definitely recommend checking it out).
You can register for the webinar and pre-order your book (with free cleanser) HERE
I did get a free copy of Dr. Murad's book

Setting Description:
Finland is the sixth largest country in Europe
in terms of area. After Iceland and Norway,
Finland is the most sparsely populated country in
Europe with only 17 inhabitants per square km.
Approximately 67 per cent of the 5.3 million
people live in urban areas. During the summer,
it never gets really dark, and in the north the
sun does not set at all for some time. During the
winter months, there are six hours of full
daylight in the south while for two months in the
far north, the sun never rises above the horizon.
Finland is also traditionally known for its high
level of technology and outstanding architecture
and design.
The City of Vaasa is located on the west coast of
Finland. Its position at the narrowest point of the Gulf
of Bothnia makes it an important link between Finland
and Sweden. The closest city is Umeå in Sweden (70
km). Vaasa is a distinctively international city, second
only to the capital Helsinki in the number of foreigners
per capita. In this bilingual city of 58 000 inhabitants,
one out of four people is Swedish speaking. With its
12 000 students, Vaasa is also a lively student city.
The University of Vaasa occupies one of Finland's
newest campus areas. The campus combines modern
architecture, parks along the water's edge, and a
renovated 19th Century factory complex. The teaching
and research activities of the University focus on
business studies, administration, languages, culture and

text: Is it just me or is Shaquille O'Neal going to forever be a pest to Magic fans? Now that it looks like he is going to Boston, it is yet another example of this guy being against us than neutral to us. Joining the Lakers spoke for itself. Then he goes to Miami (our in state rivals) and wins a championship. Phoenix was blah, but he still started that whole master of panic/beef with Dwight fiasco. So even as a Sun he found a way to stir the pot. Then he joins Cleveland because we beat them in the Conference Finals the year before and that didn't sit well with him obviously. Now he joins the one team that we couldn't hang with due primarily to size. I don't know about you guys, but I like our chances in a 7 game series against the Heat better than I do against Boston. Why couldnt he just sign with Atlanta where he would be a complete non-factor against us and we'd finally get the upper hand on him. To make matters worse, the guy freaking lives Orlando, a city he called a dried up pond!! I'm quite honestly so sick of this guy and wish he could just retire and go away for good. What are your thoughts? Is this guy just destined to forever haunt us?
