Missing Woman: Bernadette Caruso - MD - 09/27/1986
Posted 14 May 2007 - 04:17 PM
Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: September 27, 1986 from Baltimore County, Maryland
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date Of Birth: July 2, 1963
Age at time of disappearance: 23 years old
Height and Weight: 5'4, 190 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Brown hair, green eyes.
Details of Disappearance
Caruso was last seen leaving Shaw's Jewelry Store in the Eastpoint Mall in northeastern Baltimore County, Maryland on September 27, 1986. Caruso had completed her work shift at the jewelry store and was seen entering her car in the mall's parking lot at approximately 5:05 p.m. that day. She had told a co-worker that her estranged husband had called her and she was going to meet him to discuss something.
Caruso has never been heard from again. She was supposed to call a friend later that day, but never did. Her vehicle, a gray/green 1982 Chevrolet Cavalier with Maryland license tags numbered FYW-097, has never been recovered.
Caruso was separated from her husband, a Baltimore County police officer, at the time of her disappearance. They were involved in a custody battle over their young daughter. Their daughter was spending the weekend with her father on the day Caruso vanished. Caruso's husband was later fired from the police department after being convicted of abusing a prisoner. Witnesses report that he often threatened his wife. He has not been charged in her case, however, nor has he or anyone else been named as a suspect.
Foul play is suspected in Caruso's disappearance due to the circumstances involved. Her case is unsolved.

A letter from a friend of the family:
"July 14, 2006
Dear Assignment Desk/Senior Editor:
I am writing on behalf of the the family & friends of MD missing person Bernadette Marie Stevenson Caruso, who disappeared at the age of 23 from Baltimore, Maryland on Sept. 27, 1986. (photo & synopsis of her case attached)
By all accounts, Bernadette was known as a very mature, loving & caring, daughter, sister, mother & friend who would never intentionally run away from life, worrying those who loved & depended upon her. Although she was initially classified as a Missing Person, police have termed her disappearance suspicious from the onset & foul play was long ago suspected.
Those close to Bernadette have been haunted by her disappearance for almost 20 long years. Her family has yet to properly grieve because they have no answers & her daughter, Nicole Marie, was left to grow up motherless, for years hearing, "mommy is lost & police are looking for her."
Relying on spiritual faith to pull them through, Bernadettes sisters, Susan Bowerman & Darlene Huntsman, as well as their mother, Patricia Stevenson, have managed to turn the tragedy of Bernadettes disappearance into something somewhat positive. Over the years, they have become victim advocates, tirelessly devoting their lives supporting such groups as Maryland Missing & Exploited & the Maryland Chapter of Doe Network, spending thousands of hours online trying to provide identities to Jane & John Does across the country.
For years, they have also petitioned congress to enact new laws to protect victims rights in the State of MD, as well as networked with other grieving families going through the same merry-go-round of emotions & hardships they've had to endure over the years. They are undoubtedly some of the strongest women I will ever know in my lifetime & reason why I wish to give voice to Bernadettes story.
Susan & Darlene have pushed over the years to get their sisters story aired to the media, only to be shot down at every turn; reasons given being no conclusion, no forensics, case too old, no longer relevant, etc. We have come a long way in technology. What was deemed to be a cold case all those years ago could be reinvestigated if someone would take the time to care.
Fresh eyes could go over notes looking for story descrepensies. Latest technology could be utilized for renewed searches. Witnesses could be reinterviewed. Secrets could be revealed. What someone may have seen or heard 20 years ago, discounted as nothing at the time, could be deemed significant in a new investigation.
Relationships change, people talk, consciences get the best of people, etc. Changes could happen, evidence could still be located & Bernadettes disappearance could possibly be solved, if the media would only give some long overdue exposure to her case. All we ask is that Bernadette & her family are given another chance by airing her story.
September 27, 1986 will mark the 20 year anniversary of her disappearance. Someone out there knows something & we BEG them to come forward with information. Please help us show Bernadette, her family, & others in their situations they are not just cold case file numbers or forgotten statistics.
She deserves peace & her loved ones deserve much needed answers.
We believe all secrets will be revealed in Gods good timing, however, He needs the love, support & compassion of the public to stand up & be a voice for the missing.
Thank you very much for your time. Please contact me at the number below for family contact information, or if anything else is needed.
a long time fan of your show,

She was 23 when relatives last saw her 20 years ago
By Nick Shields, sun reporter
Originally published September 27, 2006
When word reached Bernadette Caruso's family that human remains had been found this month in a field in Harford County, one of the woman's sisters called police.
Carrying the unresolved pain of having a loved one missing for two decades, Caruso's relatives sometimes pick up the phone when remains are found - hoping, so far in vain, for answers.
They last saw Bernadette Caruso, then 23 and living in Chase, 20 years ago today. . The family members plan to hold a tribute Sunday in remembrance of Caruso and other missing Marylanders.
No one charged
At Darlene Huntsman's home in Millersville, a handful of newspaper articles about her sister, some laminated, others yellowed, sat scattered on a wooden coffee table in her living room. No one has ever been charged in Bernadette Caruso's disappearance.
Huntsman and Susan Bowerman, another sister of Caruso, said they hired a private investigator about a year and a half ago to help unearth new clues in their sister's disappearance. They said that in a couple of weeks the family plans to ask prosecutors to seek a grand jury investigation into her sister's disappearance.
"How could someone not have seen something?" Bowerman said.
Bernadette Caruso left her job at a jewelry store in Eastpoint Mall about 5 p.m. Sept. 27, 1986, expecting to have the night free to spend with a high school friend.
Caruso's then 3-year-old daughter was with the girl's father, Paul Michael Caruso. The couple had filed for divorce.
When her husband attempted to return their daughter, Bernadette Caruso never answered the door. Bernadette Caruso and her mother's jade-colored 1982 Chevrolet Cavalier have not been seen since. Family still feels pain of long-missing woman - baltimoresun.com

Los Angeles, CA (Oct 8, 2006)— "GINA for Missing Persons", the internationally acclaimed concert series to raise awareness for those who go missing every year, announces The Squeaky Wheel Tour, Oct 17-Nov 4, 2006. This worldwide tour will feature several hundred artists performing in 150 events throughout the 50 states and eight countries. The focus of the events is to gain attention for over 150 missing people in the effort to bring at least ONE home.
The international "Squeaky Wheel Tour" honors Gina Bos, who disappeared from Lincoln, NE 6 years ago Oct 17, 2000 with her birthday being the last official day of the tour, Nov 4.

About GINA for Missing Persons
ABOUT GINA: Singer/songwriter, Jannel Rap's sister disappeared on Oct 17, 2000. Gina's story had no scandal, no suspects and lacked the hook and intrigue to get the attention of the national public. Gina had simply vanished after performing at a pub in Lincoln, NE. Six months of slamming doors inspired Jannel into action - and the concept of using entertainment get attention for the missing was born.
In 2001, Jannel organized a concert series in honor of her sister, called GINA Concerts. This series brings together recording artists from all over the country in an effort to raise awareness of all the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and children who go missing every year. In addition, through GINA (Welcome to 411Gina.org - Uncovering Missing Pieces To Find The Missing) Jannel has produced a TV series called "America Lost and FOUND", and now hosts a monthly international webcast featuring missing persons from around the globe the 3rd Sat. of every month called "The GINA Sessions."

(WJZ) Baltimore, MD It has been 20 years today since 23-year-old Bernadette Caruso left her job at Eastpoint Mall and disappeared.
Today, her family spoke with WJZ's Richard Sher about the ongoing investigation.
"Bernadette and her ex-husband, Michael Caruso, were involved in a bitter custody battle when she vanished," says sister Darlene Huntsman.
Baltimore County Police say they have spoken with Caruso, a former Baltimore County police officer himself, several times and have never considered him a suspect.

This frequently circulated photo of Bernadette Stevenson Caruso shows how she looked at the time she disappeared in 1986.
Woman missing for 20 years this week
by Joseph M. Giordano
I've got to see what this is about - were the last words anyone heard from Bernadette Stevenson Caruso on Sept. 27, 1986.
A fellow employee at Shaw's Jewelers in Eastpoint Mall told police that Caruso, then 23, was due to meet her estranged husband, who had called her several times throughout the day before going out with friends.
Caruso walked onto the mall parking lot at 5 p.m. and was never seen again.
Two decades after her disappearance, her family is preparing to present its case to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office in hopes of getting it before a grand jury, according to Caruso's brother-in-law Sam Bowerman, a retired Baltimore County criminal profiler who worked on the case.
"I think there is enough circumstantial evidence to ask the [state's attorney] for a case," Bowerman said Monday.
Bowerman - who briefly led the investigation a year after Caruso disappeared and later married Caruso's sister Susan - believes that the woman's disappearance was part of a conspiracy.
"If you look at the facts," Bowerman said, "there's no way this could have been the work of one person."
Bowerman, his wife and her sister Darlene Huntsman long ago ruled out Caruso running away, describing her as a caring, loving mother who was in a troubled relationship but would never abandon her then-3-year-old daughter, Nicole, Bowerman said.
"The family is pretty confident that she didn't leave on her own accord," he said. "She was too mature and loving for that."
The key to her disappearance, according to Bowerman, is Caruso's 1982 gray Chevrolet Cavalier, in which she drove off after work. http://dundalkeagle.com/articles/200...ews/news01.txt

Relatives of missing turn to DNA
Advocates urge testing to match samples with unidentified remains
By Julie Scharper
Sun Reporter
Originally published June 5, 2007
Some of them got into their cars and drove away, never to be seen again. Some left the house one morning and never came back. Years, or even decades later, their families still struggle to find out what became of their loved ones.
Now some relatives of the missing persons are pinning their hopes on genetic technology. They are providing samples of their DNA to a national database so it can be compared with DNA from unidentified bodies across the country.
"There are many families out there who are needlessly going without an identification and slipping further and further into a state of despair," said George Adams, a coordinator for the University of North Texas System Center for Human Identification, which processes genetic information for the missing persons database.
He is scheduled to address relatives of missing persons and law enforcement officers at an event sponsored by the Maryland Task Force for Missing and Unidentified Adults and Children in Annapolis this morning.
The group was formed by relatives of some of 57 people reported missing in Maryland, including two sisters of Bernadette Caruso, who was last seen on a Saturday evening more than two decades ago leaving Eastpoint Mall. Her family members long ago accepted that she is most likely dead, but they yearn for the closure of finding her body.
"Who's to say that my sister hasn't been laying somewhere in Maryland or in another state and we haven't been able to identify her?" asked Caruso's sister, Darlene Huntsman of Millersville.
More than 40,000 sets of unidentified remains sit in the offices of medical examiners and there are more than 100,000 open missing person cases across the country, Adams said.
The FBI sponsors a national database of genetic information pertaining to these cases, the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), which compares information from relatives of missing people to found remains, Adams said.
Yet DNA has been collected from only a small fraction of relatives of missing persons, he said. The process of gathering it is quick and painless - a cheek swab - and the DNA is processed for free at the University of North Texas, one of three labs approved by the FBI to update the CODIS database.
"There is no backlog," Adams said, noting that his lab does not receive enough samples to keep its robotic system occupied. "They should be coming in by the thousands."
Huntsman and her sister, Susan Bowerman, expect to have their cheeks swabbed at today's event. They say that they plan to reach out to the families of other missing people and to urge law enforcement officials to take advantage of the genetic technology.
The sisters, along with Cathy Gardner, stepmother of Tracey Leigh Tetso, a Rosedale woman who disappeared on her way to a Motley Crue concert in March 2005, launched the task force a few months ago to push missing persons issues and to be a liaison between law enforcement and families.
"The impetus was frustration," said Susan Bowerman's husband, Sam Bowerman, a retired Baltimore County police detective who met his wife when he was investigating her sister's disappearance.
Adams said that missing persons units are often short-staffed and underfunded, yet he urged law enforcement officials to take advantage of the free service that his lab provides.
"There should never be a cold case involving a missing person," he said.
Missing relatives
If you have a blood relative who is missing:
* Contact the detective assigned to your missing person's case and ask to have a DNA sample taken.
* Visit the task force's Web site, www.themarylandtaskforceforthemissingandunidentified.org.
* Attend an informational meeting at 9:30 a.m. today at the Maryland Inn at 16 Church Circle in Annapolis.

Mother Vanishes After Work
Bernadette Caruso was a 23-year-old mother when she left her job in Baltimore, Md. and mysteriously vanished. When Bernadette finished her shift at Shaw's Jewelry Store at the Eastpoint Mall around 5 p.m., she mentioned to one of her co-workers that her estranged husband had called, and that he wanted to meet so they could discuss something.
Bernadette agreed to the meeting, even though her family members say she was scared of her husband, Michael Caruso, and claimed he had threatened her in the past. When Bernadette walked out of the store and headed across the parking lot, it was the last time she was ever seen.
Bernadette was supposed to make a phone call to one of her friends that evening, but she never did. She also never showed up to pick up her young daughter. Police say that none of Bernadette's family members or friends have had any contact with her since September 27, 1986.
Although Bernadette's family finds it suspicious, police say that Michael was never considered a suspect in Bernadette's case.
Investigation Reaches A Standstill
Bernadette's estranged husband, Michael Caruso, was an officer with the Baltimore County Police Department at the time of her disappearance. He was investigated by the police shortly after Bernadette disappeared, and was monitored closely for some time, but the police never found anything to link him to Bernadette's disappearance.
The couple was going through a difficult divorce when Bernadette vanished, and they were also in the middle of a complicated custody battle over their daughter, 3-year-old Nicole. Both Bernadette and Michael had made various accusations against the other, and had been bogged down by legal procedures and paperwork for quite some time. When Bernadette disappeared, the dispute over who should get custody of Nicole continued, now also involving Nicole's grandparents.
Police have had very little information to work with since Bernadette's disappearance. Despite knowing what kind of car Bernadette left the parking lot in, and having a specific description of the clothing she was wearing, police were never able to track her down, or even find anybody who had seen her after she left work that day. Bernadette's car has still never been discovered.
It has been over 20 years since Bernadette vanished, and her family and the police are still desperate for any clues to help them solve her mysterious disappearance.

Squeaky Wheel Tour recognizes missing people *Older article
Oct 19, 2006
In the pictures, Bernadette Stevenson Caruso has that "80s hair" big and poofy on top with bangs. She's smiling, and even in black and white her eyes seem to sparkle.
Or maybe it's just because I know she's dead that she looks so alive.
Bernadette is one of the missing. One of the people Jannel Rap's Squeaky Wheel Tour is holding in the light.
The tour - 180 events in nearly every state and 10 countries - had its official kick-off Monday at Duggan's Pub, the Lincoln bar where Jannel's sister Gina Bos was last seen alive.
But a few weeks earlier, in Maryland, Bernadette's family held a Squeaky Wheel event, too. They invited 10 families to gather, light candles and talk about the people they lost.
It went well, Bernadette's sister Darlene Huntsman told Jannel in an e-mail. We received some information we are passing along to the FBI... one of those families with three missing little boys have been on our local news...I hope the ripples keep spreading...
It's easy not to think about missing people, or the people who are missing them.
Unless they're Laci Peterson or Elizabeth Smart - their faces on the cover of People magazine, their fates parsed by a panel of experts on Larry King Live - most of us don't even know they're gone.
When I met with Jannel and her younger sister Tammy Smith before the concert here Monday, they talked about hiding missing people in boxes.
The runaway box. The bad family box.
The boxes that help us keep them at a distance.
"After Gina disappeared I couldn't do that anymore," said Tammy. "I had to start really seeing people."
And so I went to Jannel's Web site and clicked on the missing people she profiled in the Lincoln concert.
Jason Jolkowski, a 19-year-old Omaha boy who took out the garbage on a June morning in 2003 and never made it the eight blocks to meet his carpool to work.
Tammy and Kylee Walnofer, a mother and daughter who left Norfolk last May in a red Hyundai, later found abandoned in North Logan, Utah.
Missy Schmidt lost from Lincoln in 1995. She would be 25 now, her disappearance poster says.
And the 23-year-old mother with big '80s hair who left her shift at a Maryland mall Sept. 27, 1986, and was never seen again.
She talked to her kid sister on the phone that Saturday afternoon, Darlene said.
They both had children. Bernadette's daughter was 3. Darlene's baby wasn't walking yet.
Bernadette was at work and Darlene had just come home from the grocery store.
It was the first time she'd left the baby with her husband, Darlene said, and there the 5-month old was pushing herself around the driveway in her walker in her stocking feet while he worked on the car.
The two sisters laughed about that. Men. They just don't think like a mom does. Then they made plans to get together Monday with their little girls.
Less than two hours later, at 5 p.m. that Saturday, Bernadette left the jewelry store. She told her co-workers her estranged husband had called, and she thought she'd meet him before she went out for the evening.
She never showed up to meet her friends that night.
They never found the car.
Or a body.
No arrests were made.
Every year, the family has a mass for Bernadette. Darlene serves on the state's missing and vulnerable adults task force.
The family has written dozens of letters, posted hundreds of thousands of fliers.
"It's not a place you want to be," said Darlene.
Then she says what they all say. It's the not knowing. It's always dealing with the not knowing.
Three weeks ago, Darlene got word that the remains of a body were found in the county.
"Most people hear of a body being found, it crosses their mind in a second and disappears."
But she couldn't stop thinking about those lonely bones.
"I prayed it would be Bernadette," the sister said.
"That's what it's been like for us for 20 years."

Missing woman remembered 23 years on Wednesday, 23 September 2009
Last seen leaving job at Eastpoint Mall in 1986
by Joseph M. Giordano
The disappearance of Bernadette Caruso is one of Baltimore County's most perplexing cold cases.
Caruso was last seen walking out of Eastpoint Mall to her car on Sept. 27, 1986, when she vanished.
"There were no clues or evidence to go on," said Baltimore County Police Department spokesman Bill Toohey, who remembers the incident well. "She simply disappeared. We interviewed everyone, her friends, her ex-husband, everybody. This case has never officially closed, but we do suspect foul play."
At the time of her disappearance, her co-workers at Shaw's Jewelers told police that Caruso had received a call from her ex-husband and was due to meet him.
Police have never found a trace of the then-23-year-old Caruso or her car.
Caruso's 76-year-old mother, Patricia Stevenson, who still lives on North Boundary Road, still is hopeful that police will find out what happened to her daughter.
"I believe in miracles," Stevenson said Monday. "I haven't given up hope."
Our Lady of Hope Church held an annual vigil for Bernadette until 2002, her mother said.
"They haven't done it for a while," Stevenson said. "I'm too old [to participate] anyway. But I miss Bernadette every day."
Nothing, according to Stevenson, ever came of the family's attempt in 2006 to have a grand jury investigate the disappearance.
"What could they look into?" she said. "There's no car, no body, nothing. It's hard to get anyone to do anything."
The disappearance remains one of the county's most elusive criminal cases, according to Toohey.
"Someone out there must know something," Toohey said. "They must come forward and get it off their conscience."

Just as with the other featured persons, those in "Always Remembered" will remain on the main page for one month. Bernadette Caruso is the November 2010 Always Remembered featured missing person.
The section was created to renew awareness for the long-term missing, and we encourage our readers to take another look at the case, and place posters where appropriate. It also reflects the Project Jason motto: "All missing persons are loved by someone, and their families deserve to find the answers they seek in regards to the disappearance."

Advocates Hope Sonar Device Will Locate Missing Woman
Arbutus woman spearheading effort to locate body of Dundalk resident Bernadette Stevenson Caruso, who disappeared after leaving her job at Eastpoint Mall in 1986 and hasn't been seen since.
By Marge Neal Email the author July 25, 2012
If Bernadatte Stevenson Caruso is still alive, she turned 49 on July 2.
But it's highly unlikely the Dundalk native and Patapsco High School graduate, missing since September 1986, is still alive.
It's not something family members want to acknowledge, but they are realistic.
"We don't want to give up that last sliver of hope that she's still alive, but we know in our gut that she didn't go on her own," Susan Bowerman, one of Caruso's six siblings, said last week. "Bernie would never have gone on her own and left her 3-year-old child behind."
Caruso was just 23 and in the midst of a "nasty divorce" and custody battle when she disappeared, Bowerman said. She worked a scheduled shift at her job at Shaw's jewelry store at Eastpoint Mall on Sept. 27, 1986, and was never seen again.
Nearly 26 years after Caruso's disappearance, an effort is underway to raise money for a special piece of sonar equipment that friends and family members hope could be used to find her body.
Tracey Reitterer, who befriended members of Caruso's family through her volunteer work with the Maryland Missing Persons Network, is spearheading a fundraising effort to buy the specialized piece of equipment for the Baltimore County Police Department.
"After finding out that Baltimore County does not own this equipment, I decided in May to start raising public funds to buy it," Reitterer said. "Maryland has older sonar equipment, but I'm pushing for the Humminbird sonar."
Reitterer, a former Dundalk resident who now lives in Arbutus, believes Caruso's body and car are submerged in a body of water, and hopes more sophisticated equipment might help locate her remains.
"She's not been found and neither has her car," Reitterer said. "It's very hard to get rid of a body and a car—she's out there somewhere."
With the 26th anniversary of Caruso's disappearance approaching, Reitterer is hoping to raise $26,000 for the effort.
The piece of sonar equipment costs about $3,000.
The body of water where she suspects Caruso's body is (which she declined to identify) is thought to contain many cars at its bottom.
A crane and flatbed truck will be needed to remove those cars, and Reitterer said she has received estimates of $2,000 to $2,500 per day for that work to be performed.
"I'd like to raise enough money for the sonar and to have those cars all removed," she said. "The rest of the money can go to the reward fund — sometimes money is a motivator."
Baltimore County Police Department officials said they welcome any assistance they receive.
"We appreciate any support and effort by the community to help us return missing loved ones to their families," Cpl. Cathy Batton said in an email. "We routinely re-evaluate our cases as new investigative and forensic techniques emerge and will use whatever resources are available to us to locate the individuals who have been reported missing in our county.
"If the Maryland Missing Persons Network is able to raise the funds to purchase sonar equipment to loan to law enforcement agencies, we will use the equipment in the Bernadette Caruso case."
Police officials did search bodies of water looking for Caruso and her car at the time of her disappearance, Batton said, without success.
"We consider all information equally credible until we can thoroughly investigate the information that has been provided," Batton said when asked if tips of Caruso's body possibly being in a specific body of water were credible.
Both Reitterer and Bowerman want to find Caruso's body to give family members and friends some sort of closure.
"I can't fathom what it's like to get up every morning knowing that a loved one is just gone," Reitterer said. "Bernadette needs to be found for her family— her family deserves answers, they deserve to bring her home."
Caruso's disappearance has "totally changed my family's life," Bowerman said.
"When cancer or something else takes a loved one, they die with dignity and the family knows what's going on—they are able to grieve and bury their loved one," Bowerman said. "But with Bernie, we don't know—we're in a living hell."
Caruso's mother, Patricia Stevenson, is nearly 80. She has lived for nearly 26 years with not knowing what happened to the baby of her family.
"I want Bernie back for my family, but mostly for my mom," Bowerman said. "We want our loved one back, for her dignity—no one deserves to be taken against their will and we want her back."
And while finding Caruso is the motivation for the fundraising effort, Reitterer and Bowerman believe other families will benefit, and perhaps won't have to wait as long as the Stevenson family has to find out what happened to a loved family member.
"There's no guarantee that we will find Bernadette with this equipment, but hopefully this will renew interest in the case," Reitterer said. "And then the police department will have this equipment to assist with future cases."
Bowerman said she can't believe such a "simple machine" could make the difference in finding the body of a missing loved one.
"This isn't just for Bernadette, this is also for all of the other families that this could help," Bowerman said. "This is for the future."

Family Of Baltimore Mother Missing Since 1986 Launches New Search Campaign
September 27, 2012 11:07 PM
Reporting Derek Valcourt
BALTIMORE (WJZ)—It was on this day in 1986 a Baltimore mother left work for the day and was never seen or heard from again. Now her family members are launching a renewed effort to re-investigate her disappearance.
As Derek Valcourt explains, they believe a piece of high-tech equipment could help crack the case.
Bernadette Caruso's disappearance 26 years ago still baffles Baltimore County police, but her family isn't giving up.
Caruso was 23 years old when she vanished without a trace in 1986 after leaving work.
Her disappearance was repeatedly spotlighted on WJZ over the years.
"It was here in the parking lot of Eastpoint Mall that Bernadette Caruso was last seen by anyone who's spoken up so far," Don Scott reported in 1986.
Caruso was the mother of a 3-year-old daughter and one of seven siblings in a tight-knit family.
"This has been devastating," said Sam Bowerman, original investigator.
Bowerman was the lead investigator in the case and has since married one of Caruso's sisters.
"As an investigator, we feel that, being involved in the investigation, that it was a well-planned conspiracy to abduct and murder Bernadette," he said.
Police never found Caruso or her 1982 gray-green Chevy Cavalier despite intense searches following tips about certain Baltimore County bodies of water.
That's why her family members are now on a campaign to help raise $26,000 to purchase special high-tech sonar equipment on behalf of the Maryland Task Force for the Missing and Unidentified.
And in an era of tight budgets, police agencies say any help is appreciated.
"If they are successful in obtaining this sonar then we will obviously look at not only this case but any other open case that we have to see if this equipment could be used to help our investigations," said Cathy Batton, Baltimore County Police.
"We're going to continue to help other families, but as far as our search to bring Bernadette home, to bring the individuals to justice, that will never ever end for us. Never," Bowerman said.
Family members say they'll spend the next year or so reaching out to the public as they try to raise funds for that sonar.

Searching for short-sale opportunities can be risky, but potentially rewarding.
Stability and strength are typically prized traits in a stock, but price volatility and weakness can also signal an opportunity to turn a profit—if you're willing to go on a bear hunt. Bagging a bear presents a different set of risks than riding a bull, so it's important to choose your target carefully. For Fidelity investors looking to spot a bear, the Bears in the Woods stock screen may be one approach that fits the bill.
The screen, developed for Fidelity traders by Recognia investment research, looks for opportunities to bet against stocks that are trending toward a significant price drop. Taking advantage of a downward-trending stock requires selling short: that is, selling "borrowed" stock at today's price, then closing the deal by purchasing the stock at a future time. If the price drops between the time you enter the agreement and when you deliver the stock, you turn a profit. If it increases, you take a loss.
Short-term strategy
By definition, a short-selling strategy supported by the Bears in the Woods screen is also a short-term approach. Whereas a bullish stock theoretically has no upper limit, a bearish stock can fall only so far before hitting bottom. After a stock has undergone a significant drop, there's not much incentive for short sellers to continue to hold their positions. There's limited room for the stock to move lower, but it could bounce back and erase some of the spread.
"If your style is that of a long-term, buy-and-hold investor, this strategy isn't for you," says David Garrard, a Recognia vice president who developed the "Bears" screen. "It really is designed for someone looking for short-term opportunities, and it is relatively high risk. That said, there's also the potential for relatively high rewards."
Overvalued and above-average volatility
The primary filter on the Bears screen is a price-to-book ratio that's in the highest 60% of the companies in a given industry. Price-to-book ratio compares a company's market value with the net value of the assets on its books (how much money it could raise if it liquidated). A relatively high ratio, therefore, is a sign of potential overvaluation.
The Bears screen also looks for price volatility, which indicates that a stock has been prone to price swings that could increase the chances of executing a profitable short sale. The screen uses beta, a statistical measure that compares a stock's performance with the overall market. A beta of above 1.0 shows that a stock fluctuates more than the market, so the screen eliminates stocks with annualized beta values of less than 0.9.
With the bears now in sight, the screen zeros in on those that are losing strength. To do so, it targets bearish candlesticks and multibar patterns, which are short-term technical indicators that can reveal stocks with significant weakness in their opening and closing prices, as well as their intraday price swings. The screen filters to make sure a stock exhibits at least one of these short-term bearish patterns, in the hopes that it might be one of the weakest in the pack.
Timing is important
"When stocks go down, they tend to go down faster than when they go up," explains Garrard. "So you have to be ready and time your short sale carefully." He believes that much of the early activity on a given day represents execution of large trade orders, and when that volume has cleared, usually by mid-morning, the true direction a stock is heading for the day may begin to emerge.
To determine whether a bearish candidate is poised for a downward move, the screen looks for a current-day drop in the range of 1% to 3%. This filter ensures that the day's price has had some time to develop but has not passed the point where the majority of the decline may have already taken place.
"A trader could get in and out of a short sale on the same day, or could wait two or three days, depending on the stock's performance and how he or she has fine-tuned his or her strategy," Garrard says. "This is a strategy that requires you to have the time to check your stocks every day or even multiple times a day."
Even if you check the market frequently, it might be wise, he says, to place a "trailing stop" order on your short sale to automatically lock in profits at a certain level.
Ways to mitigate risk
If you don't mind taking some risk with a portion of your portfolio, but want to err on the conservative side, you might try tweaking the screen's parameters. It already sets a 90-day average volume filter at 40,000 shares to guard against getting stuck with a stock that's hard to unload, and a $5 price-per-share floor protects against large percentage swings resulting from small movements in the share price. You can adjust these values upward if you want additional risk mitigation in these areas.
Also, Garrard cautions that a bearish strategy works best in a bearish market. If the market turns bullish, even a weak stock can be pulled along by the upward current. But a volatile stock with indicators of weakness in an uneven market is a prime target for bear hunters, Garrard says.

Amarene are, as their name implies, slightly sour cherries (amaro means sour), and they work especially well in jams. This recipe will produce an excellent cherry and blackcurrant jam with regular cherries, too.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
- 1 1/8 pounds (500 g) Amarene Cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 1/8 pounds (500 g) stemmed black currants, put through a food mill
- 2 tablespoons Cointreau, or more (or less) to taste
- A packet of pectin sufficient for this weight of fruit
- About 2 1/4 pounds (1 k) sugar
Combine the fruit in a high-sided pot and add the pectin. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often lest it scorch, and when it comes to a boil stir it for a minute. Add the sugar in a thin stream and continue stirring until it returns to a boil; boil it for 3 minutes more. Remove the pot from the fire, add the Cointreau, and stir for another minute, until the foam is reabsorbed. Check the consistency of the jam (a drop on an inclined plate should run slowly) and transfer it into sterile jars. Cap them, and stand them upside down for 5 minutes. Check the seals by tapping the lids with a knife blade (they should ring), and store the jam in a cool dark place.
Yield: Several jars cherry and blackcurrant jam.
Yield: Several jars cherry and blackcurrant jam.

We just learned that BET will broadcast the TV world premiere of Matthew Cherry's drama The Last Fall.
The film will air next week Tuesday, December 18, at 7:30pm. So those of you who didn't get to check it out while it was on its very limited theatrical run (which really is most of you, since it didn't play wide), here's your chance to see it (assuming you have cable TV).
By the way, the drama, which stars Lance Gross and Nicole Beharie, will be heading to home video - DVD and on VOD - on January 15, 2013.
Akimbo | December 20, 2012 3:26 PM
So I finally saw this and, while it wasn't terrible, it was not good. It looked great -beautifully shot - but sounded bad. The dialogue was the biggest problem- on the nose, repetitive, melodramatic, overly expositional- and it didn't help that the movie dragged with very few plot developments. While the majority of the cast was great, I found Vanessa Bell Calloway, Lance Gross, and the dude who played his best friend, and to be weak spots (from weak to weakest). Two other quibbles: the baby daddy drama unfolded in a nonsensical and improbable fashion and Lance's character was really disrespectful to his own mother. He did one nice thing for her in the beginning and spent the rest of the movie judging her life and yelling at her...in her own house. Kind of made him an unsympathetic character. At the end of the day, the movie wasn't total garbage; just your run-of-the-mill bad indie drama. Better luck next time.

Excellent news. Just programmed it into the DVR. I did read, with interest, every entry of his diary here on S&A, and I can't wait to see the finished product. (I do wish, though, that the entries had continued all the way through the process---would have been really interesting to get a fly-on-the-wall view of what it took to make it this far...)

Illinois @ Ohio State Predictions
Nothing like traveling to Columbus when you're in the middle of a five game losing streak. Illinois needs to win out if they want to make a bowl game. That means that have to pull off a massive upset. They've done it before. I'm sure most of you remember where you were back on that November day in 2007. I was at Boston's with a few friends to watch the game, enjoying one of my favorite pizzas of all time, the Ultimate Pepperoni. I'm still upset that place closed because I miss the heck out of that pizza. I remember going nuts when Juice Williams was able to run out the clock in the fourth quarter to give Illinois the 28-21 win. That was a great day. However, I don't see that happening again here.
Ohio State has played well under new coach Urban Meyer. I didn't think they would be 8-0 and ranked 6th in the AP Poll. A lot of their success is because of the unbelievable play by QB Braxton Miller. He has tallied 24 touchdowns, 12 each passing and running, and has over 2,500 yards of total offense, with more than 1,000 of those rushing. As a sophomore, he has emerged into the Heisman talks. With 198 pass attempts and 166 rush attempts, there's no doubt that stopping him should be the focal point. However, I feel like knowing what to do won't matter and Ohio State will have no problem and put up points at the same rate Michigan did.
Offensively, Illinois won't be able to keep up, but they might be able to score some points. Ohio State has allowed at least 22 points in each of their last four games, including the 49 they allowed to Indiana. It will have to be a mistake free game for Sheelhaase and company, but that has been difficult for this team to do.
Illinois' only hope is for the Buckeyes to focus on their final two games as they close out the season with Wisconsin and Michigan. Compared to those two, Illinois can be forgotten about. If that's the case, Illinois could sucker punch OSU and come away with one of the biggest upsets of the season. Like I said though, Illionis will have to play mistake free, and I just don't feel like this team can do that. Look for the Buckeyes to become the nations first 10 win team.
What do you guys think? Do the Illini come out of nowhere and pull off the upset, or does Illinois eliminate themselves from bowl contention? Let me know with your thoughts and predictions below.
Also, I have one pair of men's basketball tickets confirmed as a prize. Those will go to whoever wins the prediction standings this year. A number of you are still in the running so keep predicting! I'm trying to figure out if I have a second pair, but as of now I think I just have one. I will hopefully have more details on which game those tickets are for in the near future. Talk to you guys after the Saturday.
Brutus gets an early start on his calisthenics ahead of Saturday's game against Illinois. He is planning on doing a lot of pushups. Let's hope the Illini defense has different ideas.

That sounds about right, maybe worse.
OSU Bucknuts 63
Illinois Illini 3
In an interview this week Urban Meyer was careful to say that to him Tim Beckman's Dad will always be the "real Coach Beckman". Interesting comment. Beckman like Zook probably was a better assistant than either of them ever was a head coach. Maybe not even that great an assistant. As Urban moved on to Utah Beckman wasn't included, Yeah Timmie says he chose to remain behind, but truth is Meyer upgraded his staff. Beckman hasn't really performed spectacularly or exceptionally anywhere he's worked. Average to mediocre performance at best. At Toledo, his 21-16 record with no division or conference titles speaks volumes. This year with Beckman gone, Toledo's team defense is much better but now Illini defense is worse with Beckman here. hmmmmmmm . . tell me why again was he hired?
After reading all the scores it is hard to pick one that hasn't been used so I will go with an easy 7x7 and say :
I think we will lay down around the start of the 2cd quarter. Just do not even see us getting in the endzone. Saw the same score so I will add 3 to the Illini.

Is Flomax or Rapaflo more effective?
1 answer | Last updated: Dec 15, 2010
Is Flomax or Rapaflo more effective?
Flomax (Tamsulosin) and Rapaflo (Sliodosin) are both in the alpha blockers class of medications and both work to relive the symptoms of BPH or enlarged prostate by relaxing the musclesof the bladder and prostate. Both medications work in the same way, and so both have similar side effects associated with them. To determine which prescription would be most effective for you, talk with your doctor and make sure to tell your doctor all medications you are currently taking as well as your medical history (especially about prostate or other cancers). Though Flomax and Rapaflo are both alpha blockers, they may work differently with individual body chemistry and history, so you may need to try both to find which works best for you. However, always consult your physician before changing your dose or stopping medication.

On Pro Football
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – A little football SAT teaser to ponder this somber Monday morning.
Greg Lewis is to Doug Gabriel as Joey Galloway is to?
A. Deion Branch; B. Wes Welker; C. Reche Caldwell.
After two weeks, including yesterday's disappointing 16-9 loss here to the New York Jets, the answer has to be "C".
Don't think that ugly thought wasn't racing through Bill Belichick's mind on the flight home and as he lay awake in bed wondering where the offense of 2007 has gone.
Tom Brady is healthy. So is Randy Moss. In 2007, that was plenty. Defenses have wised up, though. Buffalo obviously roughed up Wes Welker on Monday night. The underneath specialist sat out yesterday with a knee problem.
Galloway, for the second straight week, displayed little life and even less urgency yesterday. Thrown to a dozen times, he caught just five and tumbled to the turf after the softest of shoestring tackles on more than one occasion.
He and Lewis - who came to New England in the offseason via trade but didn't survive the final cut - were supposed to be the final pieces in an offensive dynamo.
You have to wonder if bringing the 37-year-old graybeard Galloway (yes, his beard is gray) wasn't just a waste of time and money - just like Lewis.
The Patriots have expended some serious resources on receivers the last half-dozen seasons: Lewis, Galloway, Gabriel, Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney, Chad Jackson, Donte Stallworth, Bethel Johnson, even 2009 third-round pick Brandon Tate.
Moss and Welker are gems. But a severe depletion of playmakers has left the Pats too easy to defend.
The Jets ran their silencer, Darrelle Revis, at Randy Moss. Revis pitched a Deion Sanders-like near shutout, with Moss pulling in four balls, his longest a 9-yard catch.
"Beside Darrelle doing what he does, we mixed up coverages on him," said safety Kerry Rhodes. "Once we started rolling toward Moss, he couldn't look to him that long."
By halftime, Brady wasn't looking to him at all. As great as Moss is, a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Revis neutralized him.
Without Moss and Welker, the Pats were left for dead, despite a maximum effort from rookie Julian Edelman (8 catches, 98 yards) in Welker's absence.
Brady deserves better. He deserved better from this offseason than a lifeless Galloway, who had zero catches in Week 1, and an incapable Lewis.
A quarterback needs weapons, not statues.
This team lists six receivers on its roster. Two of them, Matt Slater and Sam Aiken, caught a total of eight passes last year.
The sixth, Edelman, is a rookie seventh-round pick who played quarterback at Kent State.
It's not 2006, when Brady had nobody.
"I think the frustration sets in when we kick our own selves in the foot," said Moss.
Welker will be seeing more and more head-hunting linebackers in his sleep. And Moss' aura has dimmed quite a bit.
With the running game struggling - 145 yards in two weeks - New England needs more playmakers on the outside.
You just wonder where Brady and the Pats are going to find relief.
E-mail Hector Longo at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ryan has Brady's number
This isn't the first time a Rex Ryan defense has given Tom Brady fits.
The last time Brady completed less than 50 percent of his passes was Dec. 3, 2007, against the Ravens (18 of 38, 257 yards, 2 TDs, 1 interception).
Ryan was their defensive coordinator.

Springtime Asian Crunch Salad
Hi Friends!
Happy Friday! I hope you've had a fabulous week and have got some fun in store for this weekend! I'm absolutely loving all that Melbourne has to offer, and although we've been busy with helping the bride-to-be prepare for her wedding, she's been doing an amazing job of showing me some of Melbourne's finest sights! Cynthia's hen's night (the British/Australian equivalent of a bachelorette party) is tonight, so we have all sorts of fun on the agenda for today. But right now, I've got another guest post to share with you, this time coming from one of my fellow Canadian bloggers, Kristine, of Busy But Healthy. A little while ago, she was away in Disneyland and Mexico, and I posted for her readers about my 5 favourite big-batch lunch recipes. She's here to return the favour with a great salad recipe. Over to Kristine!
Hi everyone! I'm Kristine, and I blog over at Busy But Healthy . I'm happy to be doing a guest post for you while Angela is away in Australia (lucky girl)! I just love her site, all her fitness tips, and the dozens of yummy recipes! We first stumbled across each other's sites through other bloggers. I thought it was neat we were both Canadian and blogged about similar stuff.
I'm an e-book author, health & fitness blogger for Huffington Post, and also contribute to Shape.com, iFood.tv and SavvyMom.ca to name a few. Over on my site, I write a lot of healthy recipes, fitness tips, health info and the occasional workout. I also frequently blog about my personal life, being a mom to a 3 year old daughter, and now that I have #2 on the way, there are progress updates about that too!
With it being spring, and lighter food seems to be on everyone's menu, I wanted to create a special salad recipe for you all. Living in the Vancouver area, we have a lot of diversity with our food and restaurants, and a lot of ethnic influence. I happen to love Thai, Asian and Vietnamese flavors. A few of my favorite ethnic recipes on my site are Salad Rolls, Thai Chicken Pizza, Vietnamese "Miracle Noodle" Soup & Quick Coconut Shrimp Curry.
The exclusive recipe I bring to you all is Asian Crunch Salad. If you like any kind of peanut sauce, you'll LOVE this! This would be an awesome salad to bring to a pot luck, or spring/summer BBQ. Would also be great with some grilled chicken or shrimp on top too.
Asian Crunch Salad
Makes 8 cups
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup spinach (baby spinach or chopped regular spinach)
- 1 cup cabbage mix (or shredded cabbage)
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup red pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 Tbsp dry roasted peanuts, chopped
- 3 dates, chopped (reconstituted in 1/2 cup boiling water)
- 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 packets stevia
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp oil (olive, canola, safflower)
- 1/2 tsp asian chili paste
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1-2 Tbsp water
In a large bowl, mix together all the salad ingredients. For the dressing, place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend. If dressing is too thick to process, add a bit more water. Dressing will be on the thicker side though. Just before serving, add dressing and toss.
Nutrition (per 1 cup) Calories: 81 Fat: 5.4g Carbs: 7.3g Fiber: 1.8g Sugars: 3.8g Sodium: 11mg Protein: 4.2g
I hope you give the salad a try and enjoy it, and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I'll pop over and answer them. Thanks for having me Angela, and hopefully I can meet some more of you over on my site.
Thanks Kristine! This looks fantastic, especially that dressing! I'm off to make myself look presentable for our adventures today, but I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and I'll see ya back here on Monday. In the meantime, tell me…
- Do you have any favourite spring salad recipes? Feel free to share!
- What are you up to this weekend?
- Have you been to Melbourne before? Anything I MUST see before leaving?

Wow Kristine, you're absolutely stunning! That picture is fantastic! I'm with you on the light foods now that it's Spring. We had a little setback yesterday – with blustery winds and temps below 0C, but I think we'll bounce back today and I can feel good after eating my salad instead of freezing to death as I was yesterday.
I haven't gotten bean sprouts in a long, long time. Thanks for the reminder!
Ange – have FUN at the hen's night hehe didn't even know it was called that!
Thanks Leanne, you're so sweet!! Oh no, back to 0 degrees that stinks! We've been getting hints of sun in Vancouver, but lately its been a lot of rain again…sigh!
I am loving all these salad recipes popping up all over the blogosphere! I am currently loving a spinach salad with beets, celery, goat cheese, avocado, and some of my nacho cheese sauce plus garlic gold..amazing! Happy Friday!
Hey Ang! Thanks again for having me post, and glad to hear you're having a great time. I do remember they call it a Hen night because I've gone to Whistler numerous times, and there are so many Aussie's that work up there and still call them that. Heck, going to the US and calling them Stagette's, they get confused. I guess the proper way is Bachelorette party down there
hope the hen night was a blast, angela!! it's going to be so fun to read about your trip and about the wedding – enjoy your time!
kristine, thanks for sharing your recipe and for introducing yourself to angela's readers! i have not been to vancouver since i was 14 – would love to go back!
Thanks Kristine for a great post! I was definitely intrigued, and went over and checked out your blog. Love it!
That salad looks super refreshing. Perfect for summer!
How random?! I live in Melbourne and have been a recent lurker on your blog.
What to see in Melbourne? Lane way cafes and bars in the CBD. The Ian Potter Gallery in Federation Square for all Australian art. A walk around the Botanical Gardens or along the bay at St Kilda. And if you've got a car, I'm sure you'll go to one of the wildlife parks to see some native animals.
It's going to be 23′ degrees today, so enjoy!

Just found your blog-loving it!

October 21, 2008
When a friend visited from another state, she used the GPS function of her phone to help her get around. I was in the car with her on one trip where we had to go to downtown Dallas and weren't sure how to get where we were going. At one point, the friendly little GPS lady instructed her to turn right and she demurred, saying, "I don't think that's right." And she continued on through the intersection.
Just as I was starting to smile at the craziness of a visitor unfamiliar with the city disagreeing with the directions to a place she'd never been to, the GPS lady announced, "Recalculating route. . ." and then, seconds later, she instructed us to make turns that would get us back on track.
There was no shame or condemnation in her voice. She didn't pout or yell. She didn't accuse, "You stupid idiot! I told you to turn! Why didn't you turn? You never listen to me. How are you going to get where you want to go if you don't listen to me?"
She simply said, "Recalculating route."
How like our heavenly Father! He directs us in the way we should go. When we deviate from the path, He doesn't yell at us, because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). He recalculates the route and redeems the detour for His glory and our good. It will still cost us, because actions have consequences and disobedience comes with a price tag, but the discipline is always delivered with the hand of love.
As my friend now heeded "the lady," following her instructions to make several turns to get back on the right route, I thought about the time we were losing because of her independence and wrong belief that she knew better, even though she didn't know the city. We eventually got to where we needed to go, but not without the cost of time. God tells us that He who began a good work in us will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). He's running the GPS of our lives; He knows perfectly the map of the terrain and knows the best way to get where He wants us to go. It may not be the route we would have chosen since we don't know enough to choose the best for ourselves, but He knows what He's doing and it pays to trust Him.
When my friend got back home, she commented that her trusty GPS always got her where she needed to go, and every single time she thought she knew better, she was wrong. She heard "recalculating route" more times than she cared to admit.
But the GPS lady's voice was always friendly, non-judgmental, non-condemning. And my friend learned something about God's heart in the process: He loves her and knows she's a work in progress. He doesn't get angry when it takes her multiple times to learn what He is teaching her. He recalculates the route, patiently and with love, because He knows where He's taking her and exactly how and when they'll get there. His omniscience and sovereignty mean that she can't mess up His plans. It may cost her something to get to the final destination, but in love He will redeem the time and use it all to build character and Christlikeness into her.
Leave it God to teach a heart lesson in grace from a mechanical voice!

The tournament format
This harkens back to the PRIDE days, where Takanori Gomi could go nuh-night at the hands of a Marcus Aurelio arm triangle and still be considered the lightweight champion. These days, Joe Warren can show up and fight the exact same way every single time because he hasn't bothered to attempt improvements as a mixed martial artist. And guess what? He can even be brutally knocked out and still keep his "title"!
Even though Pat Curran finally put his title "reign" down for a mercifully permanent nap at Bellator 60, it's nothing short of laughable that Warren held a belt in a major promotion for so long. Even announcers Jimmy Smith and Sean Wheelock made no attempt to gloss this over; their call of Curran-Warren was filled with them saying things like "Joe Warren has 7 MMA victories and he's been rocked in all 7 of them!" and "This is a typical Joe Warren round; he gets rocked and somehow survives and keeps pushing forward!" Not exactly a ringing endorsement. I could go another 1,000 words on Joe Warren, but I'll spare you. The point is, the fact that you can lose in a tourney and still conceivably keep your belt is both bogus and lame. Congrats to Pat Curran.
For my full take, I refer you here.

It's a good thing I didn't give up church gossip and intrigue for Lent. :)
When one is Catholic and knows the least bit about church history and human nature, not necessarily in that order, one realizes that all is never quite what it seems, that there is more than one side of the story and somewhere, somebody has the straight skinny on what's really going on.
With that in mind, I've been scouring the Catholic blogs for more information on what the inside scoop may well be on the upcoming conclave. Somebody has to know something, right?
The time period between the knowledge that there will be a Papal Conclave and its commencement has now been dubbed "The Silly Season", borrowing from NASCAR whether Catholics realize it or not. It is the time of wackiness when the the dissidents, malcontents, enemies, wolves and the like get more attention than the conservative, orthodox faithful and beg for changes in Dogma and Canon Law that would "bring the Church into modern times." See, the lunatics think a pope can actually do this. (Shortening the time frame from 15-20 days after the See is vacant to something a lot more rushed this time, with no funeral Masses to be said, has already been quashed, so we have another four weeks of this insanity.)
In yet another example of liberal ideas and expectations not matching facts, some lay religious orders (sisters and/or nuns) DID modernize – and feminize – and those particular orders are dying out. Where the seminaries went liberal (with permission from their bishops at the time) is where there is a "priest shortage." Faith and the practice of it collapsed where theology departments relaxed the hard line on professors having a mandatum (teaching authority from the Vatican on theology) which resulted in heresy and questioning of core tenets of the faith from those in authority, making it legitimate for unformed minds to question the rest. This is seriously what happened. What makes the wackos think that more of the same is going to make the Church stronger?
We keep hearing and reading about this "prophecy" from St. Malachy that says the next pope will be the last. The source of this "prophecy" is a 16th century monk who published supposed writings from the 12th century which are now considered to be a forgery. The predictions were incredibly wrong after publication and have been denounced. In other words, the end is not near through THAT "prophecy."
Of course, there are the MSM columnists writing on Dogma and Canon Law that bear no resemblance to actual Dogma and Canon Law. It's pretty maddening actually to read that we HAVE to believe this or that when the faith itself teaches that belief or non-believing is a matter of free will.
And then someone suggested the next pope be a nun.
Whatever. No matter what the MSM does and says, don't pay any attention to them. We're in the silly season and the nutcases are being, well, silly. If the Vatican hasn't caved on modernism in the 100 years since John D. Rockefeller, Jr., went to Pope Pius X and asked him to lift the restriction on artificial birth control, it ain't happening now. (The response is an encyclical titled "Pascendi Dominici Gregis" or "On the Doctrines of Modernists" 1907.) (There's also an oath against modernism from 1910 for clergy. A few religious people need to take it again.)
Under normal circumstances, the best and most reliable scoop which is correct more often than not comes from Jesuit House in Rome, oddly enough. Even though there was a divide and conquer effort to subvert them, the Jesuits still have access to the highest levels of the Vatican and usually know what's what. However, there does not seem to be any leaking from there at this time. That could change, but with Pope Benedict XVI having been betrayed by a leak not too long ago, my guess is not.
The next best source I've found over the years is an American blog called Whispers in the Loggia. The author, Rocco Palma, did not disappoint. In an entry from this morning, the best analysis I've seen yet of how a pope indicates his desired successor was explained. I do not want to take anything away from Palma's post, so I won't go into it other than to say that if he is on target, a whole lot of wackadoodles are going to be disappointed. It may not be the way the conclave votes, but it's interesting none the less.
Then there is the little matter of the gentleman from Ghana, Peter Cardinal Turkson, the President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace at the Vatican. He's been caught campaigning. Yep, no, that's not done. We'll see how that ends up, but he may well have cooked his goose.
Due to some of the more collegial efforts to be dignified about the affair, the entire complement of 117 active cardinals will participate in the conclave – even Roger Cardinal Mahoney who was FINALLY relieved of public duties by the sitting Archbishop of Los Angeles, Jose Gomez, last week over the most reprehensible of the entire Scandal cover-ups. (We Catholics with more orthodox leanings have been waiting for this for a long time.) It's EXTREMELY doubtful that any of the older guard will come out of the conclave pope, but we all thought that the last time and the new pope was 77.
And, finally, just a little reminder for those of us who are Irish, placing bets on the outcome of the conclave, it seems, is grounds for excommunication (who knew?). Since the 16th century or something like that when Pope Gregory XVI got a burr under his seat about it. As we all know, it's not too late to reverse an excommunication, all we have to do is go to confession as no bulls are published. Given the bookmaking industry on the Emerald Isle, the Archbishops of Dublin and Galway might want to consider general absolution if they think they can get away with it. (Psst, American politicians who bought into the Seamless Garment stuff and still vote to legalize baby killing: you need to go to confession too.)
Four more weeks…I'm glad I didn't give up drinking for Lent, either. It's going to be a long month.

First Wind Video Features Milford, Utah
First Wind Video Features Milford, Utah
Date: 12/6/2010
Location: Milford, UT
Wind developer First Wind recently released "Clean Energy Made Here," a video featuring the benefits of wind projects in rural areas accompanied by artist Phoenix Stone singing "That's When America's Beautiful." Of interest to the Wind Powering America group is the video's focus on Milford, Utah, including images of local high school teacher Andy Swapp and his students, who paved the way for a 200-megawatt wind farm after they set up a meteorological tower and started measuring the wind resource in Milford. Wind Powering America presented Swapp with the Western Regional Wind Advocacy Award at the annual summit meeting in Chicago in 2009. First Wind also produced a video that documents the full story of Milford's "Wind Kids."

Visiting Granada – Free and Cheap Ways To See The City
Here's another instalment written by expert bloggers on cities in Spain. They'll be offering you their insider knowledge on where to visit without breaking the bank and how to enjoy your mini-break in the Spanish city they call home.
Molly Sears-Piccavey lives in Granada – read what she has to say about this city full of history.
Granada is renowned for its free tapas. They're served when buying a drink in one of the bars around the city. Most places offer you a free snack when you order beer, wine or a soft drink. However you will only pay for the cost of the drink itself.
That is not the only thing you´ll get for free in Granada. Here are fifteen activities to enjoy in Granada.. ¡gratis!
- On Paseo de los Tristes, just up from Plaza Nueva, you´ll find an 11th century Arab bathhouse called the Bañuelo. This is free to visit. They will ask you from which country you come from for their tourist statistics when you go into the monument. This is one of the oldest Muslim buildings remaining in Granada. Open from 10am to 2pm, Tues-Fri at Carrera del Darro, 31
- Museum Casa de los Tiros is on Calle Pavaneras, in the Realejo quarter. They have permanent and temporary exhibitions of historical items relating to the city of Granada. The highlight of visiting this building is the intricate wooden ceiling of the Golden room or Cuarto Dorado. The decorative ceiling features faces of Trojan Heroes. Click on the link for more information about the museum.
- Free entrance to the Alhambra Museum. Walk up to the Alhambra along Cuesta de los Chinos. Head up to the Palacio Carlos V. Inside here to the right you will find the Museum of the Alhambra. Entrance is free and you can find out more at the Alhambra Museum website.
- Regardless of it being free or not you must see the view from the Mirador de San Nicolas. Walk up the hill to the Albaicin area. Find a spot on the wall or if you're lucky get a bench and watch the sun go down on the Alhambra palace, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and on the city itself below. The Sunset over Granada, priceless and was described by Bill Clinton as the most beautiful sunset he'd seen in the world.
- One of my personal favourites is the Corrala de Carbon. This monument is located behind the Granada town hall, just off Reyes Catolicos. It was built in 1336, it is the only remaining caravanserai left in Spain. The caravansei is an inn built around a large court for accommodating merchants and their caravans along international trade routes. The lower part of the building would have been for storage of goods and animals. Whereas the upper part is where the merchants quarters were. No charges to enter this historic space and imagine the trading done here all those years ago.
- In Granada there are three tourist information offices with lots of free leaflets, a map of the city and plenty of advice on offer if you need it. Find offices at Mariana Pineda Square and Plaza Nueva (Calle Santa Ana) or on the Virgen Blanca street (near Neptuno & Garcia Lorca park). The office at Virgen Blanca gives you information about Granada province too.
- There are also several free magazines that you can pick up in bars, shops and restaurants around the city. The Sentinella is in English and has information about the Costa Tropical and Granada. La Balconada is mainly in Spanish with information about the Valley of Lecrin, Durcal and surrounding area. The Pocket Guia & Guia Go are more about Granada city and although are in Spanish times and places are easy to follow if you don't speak the lingo.
- There are many Churches in Granada which have no cost to go into. Some of them have wonderful architectural features and altar decorations. Many of the churches in the city today were originally mosques and were redesigned after the year 1492 by the Catholic Kings. The 17th San Anton Church has just completed a restoration project and looks great after the time invested carefully restoring the exterior walls. (Located on Calle San Anton where it meets with Recogidas).
- More and more Free Internet Wifi is being offered in hotels and restaurants. Do ask if you check in to a Hotel what their policy is. Also keep your eyes peeled for the typical black and white WIFI sign on the windows of different places you visit. Some newspaper kiosks in Granada also have this available.
- If you are learning Spanish, or want to learn English, you might want to participate in Language exchange evenings. The activity is free and if you buy a drink you get a delicious free tapa too. Casa Lopez Correa do one on Monday nights (Calle Molinos 4, in Realejo district) although there are others too.
- Hiking around the Sierra Nevada and Alpujarra trails is free, although you may need a car or bus to get there initially from Granada. Get route information and more details from Tourist Information in Granada.
- Taking photos of the wonderful city of Granada is free.
- Drinking the water from the Sierra Nevada mountains is too. Find one of the many fountains dotted around the city.
- In Granada each week new exhibitions are opened in the city in the different museums and buildings. You´ll often find that many are free. Check information in local newspapers as they often publish information the day before something new opens.
- The travel game ´Spot the pomegranate´ is also free to do in Granada. All you need is to be able to walk around the streets of Granada and see the pomegranates everywhere! Just like I-Spy just for Granada ; )
Molly was born in Robin Hood country, a village in Nottinghamshire UK, but has been living in Spain since 1998; initially in Barcelona but now in Granada, Andalusia.
Molly works in Communication and PR in the technology sector and in her spare time blogs, tweets, reads and listens to Podcasts. Molly speaks fluent Spanish and English along with some French and Catalan.

Great article, made me want to plan my next trip to Granada!
Steve Homer
Great article Molly and so useful to those who don't know the area….keep up the great work!
Alex Clifford
Great article Molly! I'm looking forward to these articles. Maybe we could have one about places to stay in places like Granada. There must be some really nice little hotels/b&bs in the city, or nearby which would be great to know about if we were planning a visit.
Great city, great tips. Great idea for a series. Bookmarked
Lisa Sadleir
What a fantastic idea for a series of articles! I will be bookmarking these for my future trips around Spain. Looking forward to the next ones

Jason Cook, of Montrose, Colorado, was the only person killed in the crash. Mary Ann Whiteker, the superintendent of Hudson ISD, confirmed that Cook graduated from Hudson High School in 1996.
