When a teacher calls on
me in the middle of class, I tend to freeze up. And as for small upsets in a well-planned schedule?
(Who'd-a-thunk I'd need an ID to get into the State Department?) Well, they throw me for a loop.
Consequently, by the time I was sitting at a big, important-looking conference table awaiting
the presence of greatness and power, one might assume I was nervous.
Me? Nervous? Of course not! Okay. Maybe a little.
Perhaps I've watched too much
Jay Leno, but this wasn't exactly the relaxed blue-jeans situation for which I had been hoping. The
room was crowded and the conference table was huge, with a glass of ice water and a napkin that said
"Department of State" at each seat. Colin Powell's "people"
brought their own tape recorders and the official photographer stayed in the room throughout
the interview.
Surprisingly, as soon as we were settled in our seats, my case of
nerves stopped. I was truly interested in what the Secretary of State had to say. I sat directly
across the table from him, and when he answered my questions, he looked me right in the eye. It
showed he was concentrating on the moment, despite the fact that it was obvious he had much larger
concerns than the questions we eagerly posed. And the crises in Iraq and Korea
notwithstanding, Powell answered each question with a focused and thoughtful mind. Even when
his right-hand man (or, at least, the guy sitting to his right) said that we only had time for three
more questions, Powell did not speed up his pace, but continued with his lengthy and intriguing
It wasn't only his eye contact and contemplative responses that made
visible the reasons why Powell has been so successful, though. At the end of the interview, when we
stood for a group photo, Mike was still leaving his seat as Olga and I joined the Secretary of
State. Powell said to the photographer, "Wait for Mike!" And then, as he was almost
out the door, he noticed the books in Olga's and my hands and said, "Oh, Maria, do you have
a book you want me to sign?" I can hardly remember my own name, never mind the name of
someone who was introduced to me half an hour ago.
After Secretary Powell left,
Olga and I each took our napkins from the conference table as souvenirs. One of Powell's men had
lingered behind and asked, "Uh, did somebody take a
Well, yes, I took a napkin, but I also took something much more
important. I took Colin Powell's answers and the history of my country and the whole amazing
experience to a place where I could never take a napkin still stuffed somewhere in my luggage. I took
it to the corner of my mind where memories are
neve rforgotten.

Last year we were fortunate enough to have so many of you playing Fantasy Hockey that we had to open up three leagues using Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey. With the apparent end of the lockout, that option is now once again before us. I have received communications asking for the renewal of the leagues already.
However I will not be able to act as commissioner this season due to work schedules that will prevent me from getting everything coordinated and arranged properly. So if anyone is willing, I need to transfer commissionership of the existing leagues to someone to manage them for this upcoming season.
Please let me know in the comments if you are interested and available and I'll make arrangements.

SP started his new job yesterday (yay!) While we're both thrilled it's taking some getting used to. I was so spoiled these last few months. While I was at work the laundry was done and put away, the grocery shopping was done, the yard was kept neat and tidy, errands were run, the house was clean and all those nit-picky projects no one has time for were completed. So instead of enjoying a relaxing evening at home last night, we went grocery shopping (boo!) We needed something quick for dinner before we went out so I got all the ingredients for a big salad ready Sunday and assembled them last night.
While I finished some last minute chopping SP breaded and fried a pounded-thin piece of chicken, which I tossed with bacon, hardboiled eggs, cucumbers, tomatoes, scallions, beets, broccoli, red pepper and mushrooms. Once everything was ready I added some arugula from my parent's veggie box:
... and dinner was served. I had my salad with red wine vinegar and oil and it was just OK. It was much tastier for lunch today with creamy Caesar.

oh! and congrats to SP on a new job!ReplyDelete
Melissa - I love a good salad every once in awhile. :)ReplyDelete
And thanks! He's enjoying it so far, although it's taking a lot of getting used to with his new routine.
This salad looks delicious! ...I second your vote for a creamy Caeser, especially if it's home made :)ReplyDelete

Hey all, I deleted the last version of this post and am re-posting it, because the last version was lumped as one big paragraph, and was way too verbose. So I am going to try to distill my old post to get to the point quicker, and to break it all into paragraphs for easier reading...
Part I: Smart Vs. Burke = Smart Wins:
- I am a big fan of Burke, but Tranzformer posted Smart's current freshman statistics vs. Burke's freshman statistics from last year, and the comparison decisively convinced me that Smart would be the better prospect. From Tranzformer:
- "Burke per game average:
- 14.8pts, 4.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 0.9 stls,
- 53.8% TS, 50.2% eFG, PER 19.4, 16.7% TOV, 28.7% AST, 1.7% STL, 6.2% TRB, 26.4% USG, 107.4 / 102.3 (O/D rating)
- Smart per game average:
- 14.7pts, 4.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 2.9 stls,
- 53.5% TS, 45.7% eFG, PER 24.4, 19.0% TOV, 27.7% AST, 5.2% STL, 9.8% TRB, 26.5% USG, 106.9 / 83.7 (O/D rating)"
- "Burke per game average:
- Main 2 takeaways from this data:
- Regardless of shooting percentages, both Smart and Burke roughly produced the same rate of offense (see their TS% and ORtg).
- Smart give up almost 20 points less per 100 possessions (see DRtg). The guy is an animal on defense, which more than makes up for his slightly higher TO rate.
- Therefore, by this logic, Smart is the better PG prospect.
- Burke shoots the 3 better, but Smart gets to the free throw line more, which is why their TS% is nearly identical. We need an aggressive playmaker like Smart who can draw fouls. We have enough jump shooters.
- (Side Note: Does anyone know of a statistic that measures how much one player makes his teammates better? This would be helpful when comparing point guards.)
- If we assume (key word: assume) that Smart will statistically improve like Burke did immediately after his freshman year, then we can expect Smart's eFG%, assists, and A/TO ratio to drastically improve. After all, Burke, who we all herald for his excellent A/TO ratio, had a meager 1.64 A/TO last year which is only slightly better than Smart's paltry 1.40 this year. Furthermore, Smart is currently averaging more assists per minute than Burke did his freshman year.
- Smart is 4 inches taller, one year younger, has a much stronger body, and (according to nbadraft.net) is a "willing" and "lockdown" defender, and has "leadership" and "intangibles" whatever that means.
Part II: However, Current Value of Noel + Burke > Current Value of Smart:
- In 2013 draft, IMO, Noel + Burke > Smart
- Nerlens Noel is injured, thus hurting his draft stock, so we may be able to snag him at the 4-6 range.
- Burke is a decent shooter, and an excellent playmaker, and an OK defender. Noel, when and if healthy, can erase Burke's defensive mistakes, much like Dwight did for Jameer all those years. Noel might also be able to erase alot of our interior defensive mistakes as well.
- Regardless of how Burke stacks up against Smart, Burke is still no slouch, and he covers a long-term need for a PG, and he rarely turns the ball over.
- While Noel rehabs, we continue to lose games. A whole bunch of them. Which may (or may not) land us Wiggins, but at least gets us in the ballpark to get him. Noel likely will not be fully effective and rehabbed until the 2014 season anyways.
- Salary Savings and less risk per dollar: For a frame of reference, the combined salary of Phoenix's #5 and #14 pick roughly equals the singular salary of the #1 pick. In my opinion, we get more value per dollar by acquiring Noel and Burke. And we can easily trade away one or both if they under-perform, since they are both on cheap contracts. If we get stuck with a Kwame Brown at the first pick, not only do we become a laughingstock, but it will also be harder to move him for anything resembling value.
- Ideally, while we stink, Andrew Nicholson eats raw meat for breakfast every day and gets much stronger and develops a mean streak on the defensive end. He starts shooting threes like he was back at Bonny. Maurice Harkless starts hitting 3 of 4 on three point shots per game on a regular basis (like tonight), and starts looking like a baby TMac on the floor. His twin, Kobias the Lemonface starts looking like Kobe. KOQ grows into a big that everyone wants. E'T gets even more efficient shooting the three, averages 7 assists per game, and makes us slowly forget about JJ.
- Nerlens Noel has a sweet flattop = +1 for any team that drafts him.
- If we can't land Noel, Oladipo is a great consolation prize. Oladipo is a highly efficient shooter and scorer and he defends very well. Great guy for our team.
- Adrian Peterson gives us hope that Noel's torn ACL is curable. Blake Griffin has had a broken kneecap and a torn meniscus in his left knee, and yet he still jumps over most people in the NBA. We may be able to buy low on Noel in the 4 to 6 pick range, and score a second pick to get Burke in the process, and receive more value in the long run.
- An alternate option is to keep our pick, and trade for Burke using one of our existing assets.
- If we don't land Burke, I'm sure Hennigan has his eyes set on some obscure but promising young prospect playing point guard at a YMCA somewhere in Antarctica, who will wow us all and makes us all say, "Well Hennigan did it again." Our GM tends to see opportunity where most don't, and we are lucky for that :)
- If Burke, Noel, and/or Oladipo don't pan out, we will still have future lottery picks and tons of cap room from 2014 and beyond to sign some impact free agents.
Any thoughts?

The 2014 cobbled classics are behind us and therefore the cycling world's attention now turns away from the big powerhouses of the peloton and back to the featherweight climbers. The Ardennes Classics are up next with three exciting races in store and barely a metre of flat road on the parcours.
Starting this Sunday (April 20th) with the Amstel Gold Race in the Limburg region of the Netherlands, the peloton will then tackle La Flèche Wallonne midweek on Wednesday 23rd before the climax of Liège-Bastogne-Liège on April 27th.
The Ardennes Classics have been a happy hunting ground for Canyon riders in the past, and this year will be no different. With the likes of Joaquim Rodríguez and Alejandro Valverde headlining Katusha and Movistar Team respectively, both squads possess the races' big favourites and former winners. To deliver their captain in the ideal position, Katusha will rely on riders like Dani Moreno and Giampaolo Caruso, both of whom could also have a shot at victory. Meanwhile, Movistar Team will find strong climbing backup in Igor Anton and JJ Rojas. Alongside the Grand Tours, the Ardennes Classics stand out as the biggest objectives in many riders' seasons, especially for climbing specialists. Competition is therefore guaranteed to be fierce.
Peloton tackles the Dutch Alps in Amstel Gold
Contrary to the beliefs of many, the Netherlands are not entirely flat, as will be proven this Sunday as the WorldTour takes on the 250 km route of Amstel Gold that will force them up and down all day long. The centrepiece of the race is the Cauberg. With an 11% gradient at its steepest point it will feature three times in the race pm Sunday, the last of which comes with just over 1 km to go to the finish, providing a tempting launchpad for anyone with a bit of zip left in the legs to take off solo towards the line.
Valverde was second here last year in addition to winning silver at the 2012 UCI Road World Championships on a similar course. With this in mind he has to be considered the most dangerous rider in the line-up having shown outstanding form so far this season, with seven victories and counting. The Spaniard not only climbs with the very best in the world, he is also capable of out-sprinting his rivals at the end of hours of tough racing.
Fourth triumph in a row for Canyon on the Mur de Huy?
Following in the tyre tracks of Philippe Gilbert in 2011 and Joaquim Rodríguez in 2012, Dani Moreno was the third rider in a row to skip away from the competition on the fierce gradients of the Mur de Huy and take Fléche Wallonne aboard the Aeroad CF. Could it be someone from Katusha or Movistar Team to make it four in a row next Wednesday? That depends on how they deal with the final challenge of the race. The Mur de Huy features three times on the 198 km route and hits a jaw-dropping 26% at its steepest point. The race usually comes down to an agonising slow motion bunch sprint as the riders gasp for breath and fight the lactic acid in their legs as they approach the summit of the wall.
Dani Moreno favours these kind of brutal uphill finishes and will be particularly motivated to make it two wins in a row as he tackles the race on a custom painted Aeroad CF in honour of his victory last year. Be sure to keep an eye out for it!
Rodríguez eyes historic 100th edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège
Liège-Bastogne-Liège is one of the five Monuments of cycling and takes pride of place as the headline event of the Ardennes racing week. Nicknamed La Doyenne, or the "old lady", it is the longest running bike race in the world with the first edition taking place way back in 1892. This year will mark the 100th edition, providing even further incentive to the riders. Between them and victory stand 260 km and 10 famous categorised ascents, including La Redoute, a name that is known throughout the sport.
Joaquim Rodríguez has made it perfectly clear that alongside the Giro d'Italia, this is the race he wants to win the most in 2014. The Catalan came agonisingly close last year after attacking in the finale and dropping all the favourites, only to get counter-attacked by young Irish rider, Dan Martin.
A rider with a track record at La Doyenne is Alejandro Valverde, who won the race back in 2006 and 2008, and rounded out the podium in 2013. With his form so far in 2014, the Spaniard stands a great chance of becoming a member of the exclusive club of three-time winners.
Three races and three huge opportunities for Canyon ProTeams to go for glory – it's going to be a great week!

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - More than one thousand people lined up Thursday morning at the National Guard Armory in Albany waiting for bags of food. It's something we're seeing more of as the economy continues to struggle.
It was a busy scene in front of the National Guard Armory Thursday morning. Hundreds of people were waiting in line for food, some waited for hours.
"It would be better if they had more lines opened so it would move faster, but you know a lot of us don't have places to go so we'll wait," said Dorothy Wilson.
"They come before we even open sometimes they'll be here at 7:00am and we don't open till 8:00am and we don't start until 9:00am," said Natasha Dawson, an event organizer.
Like several others, Wilson says this food giveaway will help put food in her cabinets and on her plate when times are tough and additional help is needed.
"We can all use food the way the time is right about now, checks have been cut a lot of people don't have places to live," said Dorothy.
Before noon, food had already been given away to more than 1,000 people.
"A lot of people have always worked so when something like this is offered to the public we feel like we have a right to it and that's why I'm here, because I need things too," said Dorothy.
But the need is even greater in Dougherty County. Willie Ross spent the night delivering food to people who were unable to come.
"I do the handicap the homeless and people who don't have cars and cant get here," said Ross.
He worked with volunteers Wednesday night until midnight, getting only two hours of sleep before getting up early to help again Thursday.
"I had to get up and I did the east side of Albany also and the two hours of sleep I did get I was happy because I went to bed knowing that no one was hungry that came out yesterday," said Ross.
Organizers say they have enough food to feed 2,500 people in Albany.
Each person who qualifies for the food giveaway gets a bag of food with 30 items including rice and beans, pasta, and soups.
Organizers say they plan to hold the next commodity distribution sometime next year.

text: I give this band one star for actually getting the….whatever it was.. recorded. Other than that, I think if this band has a future, it is far away. The bandmembers have very crude (at best) capabilities with their prospective instruments, and seem to think a lot of jumping around replaces musical talent. I will admit that some of the songs have latent potential, but only in the hands of real talent. I knew I was taking a chance buying this DVD, but I am usually very lucky in finding talented groups I have not heard of. Many of my buying decisions are based on reviews by previous buyers who leave positive feedback. This was one of my more nasty surprises. Wolfmother is a terribly lacking garage band at best. What were you guys who gave this item five stars smoking?? If it made these guys sound good, I want some!

Barnet Labour group leader Alison Moore: 'I still have the backing of members'
Updated 5:48pm Tuesday 27th May 2014 in News By Chris Hewett
Barnet Council's Labour group leader Alison Moore insists she retains the backing of her party, despite speculation growing over her future.
Speculation has grown over the East Finchley councillor's position as group leader after her party narrowly lost last week's local election, despite making overall gains across the borough.
There are rumours of growing unrest in the party, whilst political bloggers and pastLabour supporters Theresa Musgrove and Roger Tichborne have called for her to resign.
Labour closed the majority of the Tory administration to just five seats at last week's election, a figure that will be reduced to two next month should Labour retain its three seats in the delayed Colindale election.
The group is holding a post-election meeting this evening but will not be making decisions on the future structure of the group until after the Colindale poll.
Councillor Moore confirmed she would be standing again for the leadership and believes last week's results were positive for the party.
She said: "I think absolutely it was a success. We had a huge target to get control of the borough but what we got was a tremendous achievement.
"We now have more councillors than ever before in Barnet. I absolutely will be putting myself forward for the leadership again and I stand on my record.
"With a majority of just two, the Tories are going to have to work for every vote and every decision in the council chamber.
"I still have the confidence of many members but there is a democratic process so we will see what happens."

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Ever since the now confirmed rumors broke that Alexander Wang would succeed Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga, it's been hard to talk about anyone else. That trend continues today, but not for the reason you might expect. The 28-year-old designer has revealed his newest It bag: the Pelican Sling. The convertible cross-body leather pouch is super-versatile, particularly because, with four interchangeable coverlets in stingray, ostrich, watersnake, and eel, it's five looks in one. But don't get too too excited. The covers, which range from $275 to $975, are sold separately and will be available starting this week exclusively at Wang's Soho flagship and at Isetan in Tokyo. Some assembly required.

An ironic situation unfolded on Interstate 91 south in Rocky Hill Wednesday morning after a fire truck caught fire, sending thick, black smoke billowing into the sky.
The incident was reported around 11 a.m. near exit 23.
Connecticut Department of Transportation officials said the right two lanes were closed between exits 24 and 23 so emergency crews could respond to the fire, causing some delays on the interstate.
No injuries were reported.

Many patients are now going with bariatric surgery as a way to treat Type 2 diabetes. Here in Toledo, on local doctor has performed the surgery on about 100 people. All of them are now off insulin.
Bill Linenkugel is one of them. This year he is thankful for many things, especially his health. About 9 years ago, he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. But today, he's off of insulin, thanks to bariatric surgery.
"To me its been a good decision," he said. "I am so very happy with my medical results through the whole thing."
Linenkugel went from three insulin shots a day to zero. He's also taking fewer pills and learning to eat in a different way. Right now, he's only eating 3/4 cups of food each meal.
"For the most party I would guess eventually I will be able to eat the things I couldn't before, but I'm not so sure I want to," he said.
Dr. Patrick White is the Director of Promedica Toledo Hospital's Bariatric program. He also did Bill's surgery. White says this isn't for everyone because it truly is a lifestyle change and patients must be committed.
"Its not a you have the operation and you're fixed," Dr. White said. "You have the operation, follow the instructions and if you do those things you'll be alright."
For Bill, the decision was easy. Now, he's happy and healthy and looking forward to enjoying the holidays with his growing family for years to come.
"I'm certainly glad that they've taken a turn in the right direction."
The best chance for rain will be late evening Monday into the early morning hours on Tuesday.

World domination was very tongue in cheek (was thinking of Pinky from the cartoons and laughing evily at myself as I wrote it).
Mind you we may do allright, we'll have a better prepared team this time, Aussie spirit can see us home in tight games (well I hope so) you never know.
Probably what will let us down is that we don't cheat and fall over and roll around like a lot of the other teams do. (****en Italy and their cheating theatrics)
Just hope we get to play England. I'd smile for a year if we knocked their smug asses outa there.
Prefer it if england just didnt qualify tbh...they seem adept at that.

The San Francisco Public Library along with its partners, Bay Area Video Coalition, California Academy of Sciences, and KQED, will begin planning for a new Teen Center/Learning Lab, which will include both physical spaces as well as a shared virtual platform. The planning process will engage numerous organizations and youth leaders in a series of workshops and pilot activities, creating a vision for participatory learning, a citywide model for collaboration, a conceptual design for a Teen Center, and a sustainability plan. By leveraging the expertise and resources of four leading organizations in the city, the library's goal is to bridge the digital divide in San Francisco's youth community; promote digital media literacy; convert digital media consumers to producers and media makers and innovators; develop leaders in civic engagement, social change, and community; create a sustainable partnership model; and prepare youth for the technology job market of the future.

Mysterious Disappearance of Madalyn Murray O'Hair
A News Reporter Uncovers Clues
John MacCormack, a reporter with the San Antonio Express News, was assigned to cover the one-year anniversary of the O'Hair family disappearance. MacCormack began working with a private investigator to find out what really happened to the trio, but it turned out to be more than just a single-day story.
The result was a series of stories. MacCormack uncovered the 1995 tax return (it was his story that actually alerted the IRS) and discovered that Jon's Mercedes-Benz had been advertised for sale in the Express-News and then sold at a loss in front of a local bar. MacCormack tracked down the buyer and showed him Jon's picture but discovered that the seller was actually some other unidentified person.
MacCormack managed to obtain Jon's cell phone records and noted a flurry of activity during the month following the family's disappearance. One of the calls led him to a jeweler who had sold Jon $600,000 worth of gold coins. The coins had come in at intervals, and Jon had picked up the first installment of $500,000's worth, but hadn't shown up to retrieve the final $100,000. And after September, all cell phone activity stopped, and the number was disconnected.
MacCormack's investigation was time-consuming. Another year passed, and to commemorate the anniversary he was asked to be a guest on ABC's Nightline to talk about the mystery. It was an event that would break the case wide open, providing a twisted roadmap for the IRS, FBI and San Antonio police to follow.

BGR has confirmed with a source close to Apple that employee vacation requests between February 3rd and February 6th are blocked.
Back in June of last year, Apple picked the dates of 24th to the 27th for its iPhone 4 weekend launch — also a Thursday through Sunday. In addition, Verizon Wireless typically launches new devices on Thursdays. While BGR has not yet confirmed that the Verizon iPhone is the device we'll see debut on the 3rd, the timing lines up very well with previous reports; no other Apple products have been rumored to be launching in this time frame.

text: X Winery has released its first white wine blend consisting of Sauvignon Blanc (57%) Muscat Blanc (2O%), Chardonnay (19%), and Roussanne (4%) grapes. The grapes come from five different counties in the North Coast AVA: Napa, Solano, Lake, Mendocino, and Sonoma Counties. X's winemaking team used independent growers who share the winery's commitment to sustainable agriculture. Their investment in "green" business also extends to its bottles, which are made in California and Washington from 75 percent recycled material. Another example of X's sustainable winemaking processes is the use of cross flow filtration which relies on re-usable ceramic filters rather than the diatomaceous earth that ends up in landfills as a waste product. Suggested retail is $14.99. Available from Trio Wine Company.

For sale
Ad #182161903 Posted:2014-03-19 09:46:59
This ad expired 82 days ago.
I have a 1955 Dodge Coronet for sale. This is a 4 door car. Car is complete. All glass is good. Small spot of rust in drivers door and left rear door, but very minor. Everything is there including all the emblems, all trim. Only thing missing is the left drivers mirror and the antennae. Dash looks like new with all the gages looking like new. Interior is rough but all there. This car has a 6 cylinder motor, automatic transmission with the shifter on the dash (not pushbutton), and is a 6volt car. Starter drags when trying to start. Car does start and runs. For someone looking to refurbish a great old car, this is the one to do. I will be moving out of state soon and do not want to take this car with me. It belongs to my wife and she just wants to sell it and put the money into a hot rod of her own. May be willing to trade for a nice hot rod. Let me know what you have. I can take more photos if needed. My number is 209-465-4635 in Stockton, California. My wife had plans for this car. I contacted Count Customs with those plans and they said $60,000.00 to do it very nice just like my wife wanted. But I do not have the time. We are moving to Washington state at the end of the year. Give me a call to discuss any trades. My price is firm, since it is her car. She wants a drivable hot rod. If you are interested in a trade, let me know what you have to offer. We have too many cars already, but who know what she will say. My name is Rick and my email is firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks for reading and let me know if you are interested!

I went into the Stag's Head after a long day of work last week and was pretty pleased. Walking down a few steps below street level, I was greeted with a dark-wood basement paradise reminiscent of someone's awesome man-cave. It's not dank, per se -- too clean for that -- but the mild gloom was warming and welcoming. Additionally, there were several TVs with different games on but the volume down, and a sedate singer-guitarist performing folk-rock in an unobtrusive way. It was all very homey.
Service was decent and the breadth of their selection is pretty good, but the quality of the selection seemed pretty good to me. Now, I'm from out of town, so most of the beers available were unknown to me which may have added to the appeal. Still, I would like to revisit this place and explore more of their tap selections. I will admit, though, the real appeal of the place to me is the atmosphere: it's the perfect kind of drinking hole I want to go and have a beer after work.
Prices are par for the course for Manhattan. There is a menu but I didn't happen to get anything while I was there.

Stag's Head is a great meet up place. The beer selection is fantastic, rotated frequently, with a dash of special events. The food here is top notch for bar food.
I recommend the buffalo wings with a side of the honey orange glaze (trust me), and the Turkey burger.
The great part about Stag's is that for the Sports enthusiast you can drag your great beer next door to Cornerstone which is their divey counterpart. It's connected to Stag's from the inside and you can walk between the two bars freely.
The only downside is that bartenders at Stag's tend to be a bit lazy, looking on their phones while you wait for a beer, and a little bit slow at times.
Having said that, its one of my favorite bars in midtown east.

The waiters are polite and attencious, but opposite to other places the person who claims to be the owner (Caroline or so) is a rabious dog. As other beer geeks from this site, I collect a picture of everything I drink, meaning bottles or the tap handler. I went to take pictures of those and the lady went nuts, saying that I could not do that, and she violently took it from my hand. I explained her what I did with those amateur pictures and gave her my name to check on the web. And asked why. She said "no, no, no, just no, no no!". I know NY is know for its awful service, but come on. You at least own some respect for who is bringing home your bacon!

Bangor University's School of Environment, Natural Resources and Geography (SENRGY) held an alumni reunion as part of the World Congress on Agroforestry in Delhi in February 2014.

Prof. Dermot Cahill and Dr Ama Eyo from Bangor's School of Law hosted an event for Bangor alumni in Abuja, Nigeria on Friday, 17th January 2014. The event was attended by alumni from the Schools of Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Linguistics, Education and Law.
My friends and I recently held a reunion, planned because it was forty years since we met in University Hall. We were all freshers in 1972, but quickly made a tight knit group of friends in University Hall. The common thought at our reunion was that we had made such a close bond during that time that we could just pick up where we left off, no matter how long it had been since we had met. We chose to meet in Oxford because it was the most accessible base for all of us. The weekend of the 24th/25th November wasn't the best for travelling or weather, but it was a great weekend anyway. Even in our late fifties, we could still pretend that we were meeting in Room 9 of University Hall!

In September 2012, a reunion was held in Bangor for alumni involved in sports teams during the 60s and 70s. Over 100 alumni attended a lecture by Dr David Roberts, Bangor University's Registrar and an evening event held in Bar Uno on the Ffriddoedd Site. A good time was had by all! See photos from the event.
Recently some '57-'59 St. Mary's College students held a reunion, which has now become an annual event. This year they went to York for two nights on the 11/12th September. Sixteen '57-'59 attended, staying in a hotel in the centre of York. There was a lot of talking and reminiscing, but also a great deal of laughter. The group move their venue annually so that travelling distances are more evenly distributed. Anyone wishing to join them should contact the Development and Alumni Relations Office and mail will be forwarded.
Nine members of the Climbing Club from the period 1957 - 1961 got together during the first week of October staying at the University's Management Centre. Many of them had not seen each other since leaving College but managed to keep in touch 'by grape vine and smoke signals!' and they all recognised each other.
The group walked to Idwal on the morning of the 5th October which really did bring back the memories - Gale Force 6/7 wind and rain! They then had a visit to the College Archives where they saw the Climbing Club record books. It was a most enjoyable time. If anyone wants to get in touch with the group, please contact the Development and Alumni Relations Office.
On 2 and 3 September 2011, Bangor University invited alumni who studied at UCNW and Coleg Normal during the 1980s to a special reunion here in Bangor.
In August 2010, we welcomed back over 100 of our 1970s alumni from UCNW, Normal College and St. Mary's College.

Pensacola City Council reversing ordinance on homeless using blankets
PENSACOLA -- The Pensacola city council is moving towards getting rid of an ordinance that bans homeless people from sleeping with a blanket on city property.
Last night council members voted four to three to get rid of the entire law.
However, the proposal will still have to pass a second reading, later this month, before becoming law.
For now they voted to remove some of the language in the ordinance.
The ban on tents and other temporary structures remains in place but people can now use a blanket or sleeping bag.
"These ordinances are all human rights violation and we need compassion for the homeless and not these kinds of laws"
"I feel very excited. We asked for something very simple, and we got there, but there's alot of work to be done."
The council also established a task force to help with long-term solutions to the homeless problem.

Wacky design duo Viktor & Rolf have released their first plenty talked about handbag collection. Reports that they were coming out with a collection of purses and clutches surfaced on blogs last fall, but they are finally available- at least from the ultra hip store, Colette.
The line is comprised of handbags and clutches for day or night that incorporate their signature design motifs into the handbags by either stamping their logo into the leather or it's attached as a pendant. Their 'bow' is woven into the chain. The 'flowerbomb' diamond shape is either the clasp of the clutch or the stud on a city bag.
The handbag designs at Colette are different (better, actually) than the bags introduced last year on such blogs as Luxist and Fabsugar. And, in expected Viktor & Rolf's irreverent style, each handbag has a fun name: Good Evening, Just A Moment, What's Up, and I'm Fine.
So far, I haven't been able to find them anywhere else (not even Viktor and Rolf's online boutique), so if you want to be an early adopter, get them here.
Don't forget to check out Viktor & Rolf's 2008 fall collection here.
And their wild upside down boutique in Milan here.

I bought 2 bags of theirs just yesterday. I think they are excellent designers.
That white bag you have in the last picture I bought in black. With the dangling detachable pendant.
Which is probably the main reason i bought the bag.
I also purchased The Good Evening bag with their logo 'stamped' into the leather
Great post, because they are hard to find and there has been alot of buzz about then and thus many people are looking to find their bags!

Looking to Jesus in the Race of FaithJune 13 2013 at 5:51 pm 2 Comments
This month we're taking a break from our study of the gospel of Matthew. I believe the Lord is leading us to work our way through the 12th chapter of Hebrews.
We know that "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, reproof and for training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). It's all part of the living and active Word of God (Hebrews 4:12). We need all of it. But isn't it true that at certain times in our lives certain parts of Scripture seem to speak so directly to our circumstances that the breath of God's Word feels like a mighty wind? The Word doesn't just speak to us in those moments; it feels like it thunders! And the living and active Sword of the Spirit seems to pierce even more deeply.
That's how I feel about Hebrews 12 right now for myself personally and for our church family as a whole. In so many ways this chapter with its 29 verses speaks to where we find ourselves. We're facing disorienting challenges. Many of us feel weary and discouraged. Hebrews 12 calls Christians to endurance and faith. It speaks to God's purpose in painful circumstances. It addresses the temptations we face in times of difficulty. And most importantly it holds forth Jesus. Hebrews 12 calls us to fix our eyes on him and to remember the unshakeable nature of his kingdom.
So Lord willing, for the next five weeks, I'm going to preach Hebrews 12 to you, and to me. And I'm asking the Lord to send his Holy Spirit and do something deep and powerful and lasting in our hearts through his living Word.

I have studied the above mentioned scripture many times and the illustration of running a Marathon knowing that Jesus is not the spectator but the finish line blew me away and clearly drew me to His Magnificence. How wonderful it is to be so loved by GOD knowing He is our REWARD!!!By Gricel Bloom on 06/18/2013
Grateful to our pastors for seeking the face of God in adversity and listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We will endure little of the Christian life if we have not been captured by the beauty, majesty and glory of our God and Savior. He is so far above our religious impulses and and times fleshly pursuits. He stands always beckoning us to come to Him. To eat, drink and be satisfied. The coming is scary because it involves continual dying to self and our claims on this life. Lord help us remember that you are The Way, The Truth and The Life. We lose nothing of value coming to you. Discipline us Lord for Your Glory. Through the process we get You! We see You and we know You better! Lord, take us and lead us on!By Gabriel Knowlton on 06/18/2013

Commissioners voted to
reduce the money taxpayers give to Chehaw.
The Park will get a
million dollars next year, but starting in 2015, the city will reduce its
funding by 3% a year.
Chehaw leaders say they're glad they're still
getting strong support from the city.
"I think what really
helps us, for them to have the confidence to say we're going to support you for
another five years, could have been a lot worse, if they cut us 10%, 20%, 25%
that would have been a real problem for us," said Doug Porter, Chehaw
Executive Director.
City funding for Chehaw will drop to about $880,000
a year by the end of the contract in 2019.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - With the Henley Bridge closed for construction, drivers headed to or from South Knoxville have to use another way to cross the Tennessee River.
Coming from Chapman Highway, the state Department of Transportation asks drivers to detour right on Moody Avenue, follow it to James White Parkway and cross the river.
"Whenever I'm coming into Knoxville I normally go James White anyway because it is less traffic and it doesn't take as long. So it doesn't really matter that much," Freida McDonald said.
Drivers say the detour does not take much longer and 6 News did not find any traffic problems on Monday, the first morning the bridge was closed.
"I left about 10 minutes earlier and still had time for gas and still have time to get to work," Tracey Jackson said.
Another detour option is going over the Gay Street Bridge in downtown. The bridges are parallel and not far apart. However, the Gay Street Bridge is just one lane each way.
The concern with that option is the Gay Street Bridge could become crowded.
Some drivers say they will avoid it. "Mainly because of that. It is going to be so backed up I'm sure being one lane each way over the bridge. When it's warmer, I ride my bike to work so it won't impact me as much," Sam Comer said.
The Henley Bridge closure will impact about 40,000 drivers a day. Many of those will test both alternate routes.
"Actually we are trying that out today to see which is best for us. We came Gay Street down and so we will go back Moody, I mean James White Parkway, and see what is going to be best for us," Tammy Ruble said.
TDOT estimates construction on the Henley Bridge will last through 2012 at least.

According to a report in the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers is seriously considering stepping down as coach after this season. While Rivers, himself, has denied that any final decision has been made, and we've seen similar speculation, the Herald notes that "the planets are aligned" here:
This time the planets seem better aligned for a move. One of Rivers' sons, Jeremiah, will be a senior next season on the Indiana University hoop team and daughter Callie, a volleyball star, will be in her final year at the University of Florida. Another son, Austin, is a top basketball prospect who will be finishing high school.
Even in the midst of a brutal NBA schedule, Rivers makes several detours to watch his kids play, and it is no secret he would like to be there for them on a more consistent basis.
Indeed, Doc has good reason to move on at this point, not the least of which is the current state of the Boston Celtics organization. Yeah, he wants to watch his kids play, but to think that this move would be solely motivated by watching his children's athletic events would be a little naive. The Celtics have been floundering since the All-Star break, and are currently hobbling into the playoffs having lost seven of their last 12 games.
Everyone's always liked Doc in Boston, particularly among the media. But aside from the championship season, his track record hasn't been that great at the Celtics helm. Now that the Celtics are struggling to meet expectations, he's once again facing some of the same criticism that plagued him before the Championship in '08. Maybe Doc's the problem, Celtics fans wonder. And frankly, they may be right.
So given all that, and since he doesn't need the money or another ring, maybe he'll step down, rather than face the prospect of being slowly roasted by fickle fans and media. Could you blame him?

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Minnesota will present a free information session on MNsure from noon-1 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, at Hope Community Support Program, 157 Roosevelt Road, Suite 300, in St. Cloud.
Participants will learn about health insurance options, value of coverage, options under MNsure, MA expansion, changes to Minnesota Care and the benefits to people living with mental illnesses. For more information, please contact NAMI Minnesota at (651) 645-2948, or (888) NAMI-Helps.
NAMI Minnesota is a non-profit organization that works to improve the lives of children and adults with mental illnesses and their families through its programs of education, support and advocacy.
Lately, I have had a couple of eye-opening experiences about disability. For one, while looking up a number of dictionary definitions for spina bifida, I noticed each called the condition either a "congenital defect" or a "birth defect."
That hooked me. For further clarification, I looked up the definition of "defect" on Merriam-Webster online. It said a defect was "a physical problem that causes something to be less valuable, effective, healthy, etc."
The same online dictionary, and others, also defined cleft lip, cleft palate, Down syndrome, and a whole host of heart problems as birth "defects." The Centers for Disease Control claims that "about one in every 33 babies is born with a birth defect." One website I found had a listing of hundreds of "defects" in people, ranging from deafness and intellectual disabilities to short limbs.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Minnesota sponsors free support groups for families who have a relative with a mental illness. Led by trained facilitators who also have a family member with mental illness, the support groups help families develop better coping skills and find strength through sharing their experiences. A family support group meets in St. Cloud at 7 p.m., on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, at Calvary Community Church, 1200 Roosevelt Road. For information, call Mike at (320) 259-7101, or (320) 492-2024.
Join Certified Nurse Practitioner Kathleen Mahon, CentraCare Heart & Vascular Center, as she presents Mindfulness: Medicine for the Heart from 6-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, at CentraCare Health Plaza. Purchase the $5 tickets at:
• The Gift Galleries at St. Cloud Hospital or CentraCare Health Plaza
• Byerly's
• All Cash Wise locations
• All Coborn's locations
Tickets may be purchased at the door, but seating is limited.
CentraCare Health soon will offer a new way of delivering care in St. Cloud – the CentraCare Urgency Center. The first of its kind in Central Minnesota, the Urgency Center delivers the high-quality urgent medical care you expect without the emergency room wait or cost. The CentraCare Urgency Center opened Monday, Jan. 20, at CentraCare Health Plaza, and will be staffed by Central Minnesota Emergency Physicians, the same group that treats patients at the St. Cloud Hospital Emergency Trauma Center.
Common health concerns to be treated at the CentraCare Urgency Center include:

This is the westmost line on the cliff. It almost deserves 4 stars, and I might change my mind yet. It is a very good route. It start with an easy first bolt (probably the easiest 1st bolt on the wall). Then it gets hard, forcing you to smear and edge very tenuous holds. Hands aren't much help but they are key. Maybe that didn't make sense. A key hand-hold is there to move through the crux; however, the hands don't mark your success through most of this lower section, but good footwork does. After the 3rd bolt, the climbing eases up and hands are good again. The Ruckman's book shows a 5.10a mini-crux at the last bolt, but I never even noticed it. In fact, my belayer mentioned that it seemed like I was on a 5.8 by my speed on the upper section.
7 draws for the climb and 2 more for the anchors. It shares anchors with Out of Touch if you want to top-rope.

Six healthcare centers in Southern Arizona have been awarded nearly $1.4 million in federal grants to help residents enroll for health insurance.
Some $58 million in grants have been awarded to more than 1,100 healthcare centers around the nation, Health and Human Services announced last week.
In Southern Arizona, the grants will go to:
The grants will be used to expand the hours of existing outreach and enrollment assistance workers, and hire new or temporary outreach and enrollment assistance workers.
U.S. Rep. Ron Barber (D-AZ) said that will mean more opportunities in Arizona for face-to-face enrollment assistance at local health centers. He said it will allow people to get the help they need to sign up for health insurance by the end of the open enrollment period March 31, 2014.
Barber is a co-sponsor of legislation to fix problems with the Affordable Care Act.
On Nov. 15, Barber voted for the Keep Your Health Plan Act to allow people to keep their health insurance plans.

Thanks to a 4-3 vote by the Goshen City Council last week, voters in Goshen — and most likely all eligible voters within the boundaries of Goshen Community Schools — will have an opportunity this spring to decide the fate of a proposed community and aquatics center near downtown.
If the proposal were to proceed as is, the $27.6 million structure would be built on the west side of the Millrace on the site of the former city garage. That facility would include an aquatic center with a wellness and therapy pool; a recreation pool and a competition pool; a gymnasium and fitness center with an indoor track, basketball and volleyball courts and rooms for aerobics and other fitness classes; and family and activity rooms with meeting spaces for clubs, small groups and community events.
In addition, around $7 million in renovations and construction at both Goshen high and middle schools would reclaim current pool spaces and add on to fitness areas. Both schools' outdated pool areas would be converted to new spaces to help alleviate space problems in music and other programs, according to project coordinator and former GCS Superintendent Bruce Stahly.
Basically, the city and the school corporation would split the nearly $36 million price tag bundled into a 20-year loan. School trustees are expected to officially send its portion to referendum with a vote on Jan. 28. Therefore, Two questions would appear on the special referendum ballot – the community center question and the school improvement question.
The real question is, can Goshen taxpayers and business owners afford this? A median homeowner in Goshen with a house assessed at $107,200 in value can expect to add $84.48 per year to their property tax bill. Over 20 years that adds up to $1,689.60.
The Goshen City Council could have killed the plan last Tuesday by voting to deny the referendum. We would not have blamed council members if they had. Even some of those who voted for the referendum admit the community center proposal is too costly as it currently reads. We tend to agree.

Core Project: Designing Incentives for Ecosystem Services
This project is designed to directly address the CWC question, "How is the carbon cycle being disrupted by human activities (e.g., fossil fuel combustion) and how can the cycle be re- balanced to mitigate abrupt climate change (ACC) and its adverse effects?" One of the enduring questions in climate change policy is whether forest, soil, wetland, and other land-based credits will ultimately be available to carbon trading systems. There is strong evidence that if land based carbon sequestration can be implemented, the costs of mitigating climate change could be reduced substantially. Despite this evidence, inclusion of land-based sequestration in the Kyoto Protocol, and the many test-cases implemented around the world, there is currently only one forest-based carbon sequestration project approved by the Clean Development Mechanism. The many obstacles with crediting land-based carbon sequestration include measurement and verification issues, leakage concerns, questions about whether projects are truly "additional," costs, and other market design issues.
This project proposes to build a program that analyzes these policy issues. The funds for the project itself will be utilized for specific research objectives that will enhance our understanding about the efficiency of implementing land-based carbon mitigation policies. The knowledge, experience, and visibility produced by these specific projects will in turn further the development of a larger sustaining program that enhances both practical and academic understanding of using payments for ecosystem service as a key environmental policy tool.
The main questions addressed by this core project are:
- Can land-based measures for carbon sequestration be implemented efficiently? How large are implementation costs, including monitoring costs, verification costs, and other transactions costs? Can incentives be designed to minimize these costs?
- How important is leakage? Can incentive systems be designed to minimize the amount of leakage associated with carbon sequestration projects or forestry emission reduction projects?
- What properties are necessary for efficient contracts for land-based carbon sequestration and how do contracts for carbon sequestration differ from contracts for other services?
Project Status
The project has made significant progress in a multi-college multi-disciplinary examination of how ecosystem service payments for carbon sequestration services affect greenhouse gas (GHG) stocks and other environmental outcomes. Faculty collaborators from the School of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics Geography, Political Science, and the John Glenn School of Public Affairs (JGSPA) have met regularly and made demonstrable progress in data and modeling for the project.

Fantastic route. Awkward start to a right facing corner with nice jamming and stiff stemming. After the crack, transition left to cool face climbing protected by small gear in incipient cracks. There was a bolt out left (optional) but it seemed too far out of the way and would ruin an all trad climb. Place thin fingertip pieces in your last tiny crack and then run out the face on easier terrain to the top. If you have a lot of rope drag, expect a battle.
There is a gully between Mean Mistreater and Faded Rock. Climb the slab at the base of the gully to reach the route. I started at a broken right facing corner.
Bring a full rack. If you can lead this route, one fist size is all you need. Rack down to micros for the upper section. Use long slings on all your pieces, otherwise, the rope drag might take you down on the runout finish.

Student Car Wash For Social Services
(Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese)
On Saturday, August 23 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Ephrata Area Social Services (EASS) will hold their first ever Car Wash For Food event at their main office, 227 North State Street, Ephrata. The Ephrata High School cheerleaders and members of the football team will be on hand to see that automobiles get a good washing. Each summer the EASS Food Bank experiences a drop off in food donations. The car wash is intended to bring in food donations to buoy up the food supply, to set in motion the beginning of the EASS fundraising season, and to raise community consciousness regarding the need to assist families during the winter heating season. Donate an item of food and have you car washed. Shown in the photo are (left to right): Rachel Bochenko, Liz Johns, Jade Myers (varsity cheerleaders) and Tom Swalwell (EASS executive director).

Living Outside the Box in Northbrook
List Price: $875,000
Sale Price: $840,000
The Property: "Northbrook is a subdivision town," says Nancy Gibson. "Almost everything is boxes…
List Price: $875,000
Sale Price: $840,000
The Property: "Northbrook is a subdivision town," says Nancy Gibson. "Almost everything is boxes. I live in one."
Gibson is the agent who listed and quickly sold this distinctly unboxy Northbrook house. Built in 1998 for Thomas and Marcia Fritz, the home combines a Prairie-style and Arts and Crafts aesthetic on the exterior, while the interior was laid out with the principles of feng shui in mind. Trees slightly obscure my photo of the home's façade; click on the listing for a shot taken earlier in the year that shows more clearly the charming combination of a steep chalet roof on one side and a projecting bay on the other. A photo of the back of the house shows large porches on the first and second floors.
Inside, there's a library, a screen porch, transom windows above interior doors, a staircase with a Prairie-style handrail, and, in the kitchen, a distinctive detail: a window in place of a backsplash between lower and upper cabinets. "There was a lot of attention paid to building this house," Gibson says. "It's a unique design for this area."
And a lot of attention when it went on the market. Gibson says that she lost count of the calls from people who just wanted to see inside because they had always loved the house when driving by. Only serious home-shoppers were shown the inside, but that amounted to 30 potential buyers—and five offers on the house. The house went under contract March 14, just ten days after going on the market. The sale closed June 7, to buyers not yet identified in public records. The Fritzes, who were planning a move into the city, did not return my call.
Price Points: Gibson says that, just after she did a price estimate for the Fritzes, "we started seeing an uptick in the market around here." That meant she didn't have to prepare her clients to see the house sell for an amount down around $800,000, as she had fretted she would have to. "That was great, after four years of downticking," she says, and it resulted in a sale at 96 percent of what the sellers were asking. The Cook County Recorder of Deeds has no information on what the Fritzes paid for the lot, and Gibson did not say what they spent to build the house.
Listing Agent: Nancy Gibson of Coldwell Banker; 847-753-6239 or email@example.com
This morning I talked to Marcia Fritz, one of the sellers of the home. She credits the architect John Crittenden with the home's handsome looks.
On the feng shui element, she lists these features as contributing to the positive flow of energy in the house:
*In the center of the main floor, a round table with a vase of flowers on it, to prevent positive energy from flowing in a straight line from the front door to a rear window and out of the house
*Windows above the beds in any bedroom
*A kitchen layout that has the cook facing out, not in toward a wall, when doing most prep work (except for when working at the stove)
* An office layout that keeps the occupant facing out toward the door, not with her or her back turned to the door

I'm SO sorry for being such a bad, bad kitty blogger. I hate it when people say, "I was going to call, but I've been SO busy" and of course you have to so, "Oh, I know, me too!" So, I won't say that. What I will say is that I've developed a new addiction! Good news, eh? (from Maine, so sometimes the "near-Canadian" in me comes through with "eh")
"So, Richard, what's your new addiction? Is it burning illegal software? Is it drinking even MORE than you ever did? Please tell us it's a fun drug!" Well, I heard your questions and I'm hear to say… it's Twitter, or "Micro-Blogging" as some refer to it. I'm astounded by it. I'm entranced by it. It follows me around and I love it. It's there when I get up, it's there when I go to bed…. it's just great!
As with most addictions you quickly realize what's going on, yet it's too fun or enticing to stop or even publicly acknowledge you have a problem (don't ask me why I'd know that or where I learned it). And like most addictions you KNOW there are draw backs, but there are SO many positives to keep you going!
Let's compare to something I know most of you experience, alcohol addiction (if you read a lot about kittens… and you do… then you likely drink lots of wine in the evenings by yourself or while your husband is locked up in the garage on some stupid project). So, with your alcohol addiction perhaps you always seem to end up at your favorite bar because all your "friends" are there (none of whom you know the last name of).
This problem is very similar to one of my Twitter "symptoms". I know "twit", not people! Although I'm "TOTALLY SURE" I feel like I really know them! Actually, I still stick by that story! I really do feel like I'm developing real personal relationships with my followers. I interact with them. I know they listen when I need to, I trust their opinions for fun trivia (any of this sound familiar, like your bar friends???).
So, the draw backs to your alcohol… that husband in the garage? The one "working on the project in the garage" doesn't exist any more because you spent more time with your bar friends than with him. He used to exist. But he just never understood your relationship with those bar friends. (I pray this is an inaccurate portrayal of your addiction, but if it does please forgive me)
Any idea how this could be similar to my Twitter addiction? It's always running in the background. There's always a conversation going on… that conversation might be going on for several days in VERY short spurts. Anyway, so these aren't even personal conversations, these can actually be considered professional in nature!
So, anyway, you can picture how bad it can be. I'm an addict! Just admitting it won't keep me from doing it, but it is the first step to adapting to ways of working around the perceived "bad things" and enhancing the "positives". Help me!!!
Another entry coming VERY SOON! And it will be about kitties!

Teen to be tried as adult in deadly South Texas van crash
9 illegal immigrants killed in accident
A South Texas judge has ruled that a 16-year-old boy should be prosecuted as an adult for allegedly killing nine illegal immigrants in a crash while fleeing Border Patrol.
A Hidalgo County judge issued his ruling Wednesday for Junior Benjamin Rodriguez, who is charged with nine counts of murder. He was 15 last April when he was allegedly fleeing Border Patrol in Palmview while driving a van packed with illegal immigrants.
What happened next is disputed. A witness says he saw a Border Patrol vehicle bump the van before it crashed, sending immigrants flying onto the ground. But a Border Patrol agent testified last year the van had already crashed on a highway frontage road by the time he arrived.
Rodriguez was arraigned Wednesday as an adult and bond was set at $25,000 per count.
