Three injuries in Routes 11/15 crash
SHAMOKIN DAM – Three people were injured in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday morning in Shamokin Dam. The accident happened just before 9:30a.m. along Routes 11/15 at Baldwin Boulevard.
Shamokin Dam Police say William English of Selinsgrove was driving northbound on Routes 11/15 when he ran a red light and struck a vehicle driven by Christa Komara of Coal Township. English, Komara and Komara's passenger Thomas Strickland of Shamokin all sustained injuries and were taken by ambulance to Geisinger Medical Center with what police say are non-life threatening injuries. There is no word on their conditions.
Traffic was backed up in both directions while emergency crews remained on the scene. Shamokin Dam crews were assisted by Hummels Wharf, DH&L and Americus fire crews, along local EMS crews, Sunbury Police and PennDOT. (Sara Bartlett)

The Work Day to Lose 2 Hrs in Gothenburg Sweden
May 5, 2014 | Posted by Staff under Activism |
This 2014 excerpt of The Atlantic, Apr 9, is by Uri Friedman.
In the Swedish city of Gothenburg, the governing coalition has proposed a year-long trial that would divide some municipal workers into a test and control group at the same pay rate, with the test group working six-hour days and the control group working the traditional eight.
They hope to get the staff members taking fewer sick days and feeling better mentally and physically after they've worked shorter days.
In Sweden, towns have abandoned the approach in the past when it proved costly and detrimental to workers' health (it turns out working non-stop for six hours isn't great for you, either).
The bottom line is that productivity — driven by technology and well-functioning markets — drives wealth far more than hours worked. And very few jobs in developed economies nowadays are classic assembly-line positions, where working 20 percent longer will mechanically produce 20 percent more widgets.
At least 40 years of studies suggest that people work harder if you limit their time to complete a certain task. In some cases, working too hard can actually reduce output. Long working hours are also associated with ill health, which means lost labor in the long term, as well as higher medical costs for employers and government.
Ed. Notes: Since we humans are political animals, we seek a solution that is a mandate: "thou shalt" or "thou shalt not". We, as a majority, do not seek an organic solution whereby you don't boss people around but instead create a context for things to work out for the better — sort of like child-proofing a home so a baby can't stick its finger into any electrical outlets. In this case, to create an ideal length of time for working (during a day, week, month, year, or career), you wouldn't set a limit. Instead, you would pay everyone a share of the common wealth, the worth of Earth in the region, the annual rental value of sites and resources and EM spectrum. Getting this extra income (from the money that people spend for the nature they use), a resident would not be so desperate to work more than they want; instead, they could work as long or as short as they like.
They could also work with whomever they like, so government would not have to enforce integration. Plus, they'd have the leverage to negotiate higher wages, so government could forget about minimum wages. And they could demand safer conditions, so government could forget about its bureaucracy of inspectors. Further, they could win a say in management, so corporations would evolve into co-operatives naturally, organically.
You can expect this cascade of benefits when you redesign the whole system rather than just address each symptom. But you'd have to have a whole world view, rather than just be a political animal. And that's hard for us humans.

Partnership Between Correctional Center and Oneida Co. Humane Society
Submitted: 03/29/2013
Story By Lyndsey Stemm
- Animal shelters need all the help they can get placing pets with families in the community. And correctional facilities look for ways inmates can give back to the community. Two local facilities have partnered to meet those needs.
An unusual partnership? Maybe. But it looks like one that will be mutually beneficial.
Getting a dog ready for adoption often means teaching obedience and social skills, which takes time and resources.
It's a task inmates at the McNaughton Correctional Center will take on to help the Oneida County Humane Society.
"Each case will be different; each dog with have their own specific needs. One dog may need social skills. Other dogs might need just basic skills like 'sit', 'lay down'," says Bria Swartout, from the Oneida County Humane Society.
McNaughton houses inmates who are finishing sentences and getting ready to re-enter society. Many of them already participate in work release programs.
Superintendent Brad Kosbab believes the program will help more than just the animal shelter.
"They'll get some satisfaction that, one, they're doing something from the community. It will give the inmate a sense of accomplishment in the fact that they'll be able to see from start to finish results and what it does for the dog. It will also help, like I said, with some of those interpersonal skills," says Kosbab.
The center will choose inmates based on behavior and records. Kosbab says McNaughton has always had a good relationship with surrounding communities.
"We also want to expand into new relationships and we want to be a good community partner with everybody and this just seemed like a pretty cool way to do that," says Kosbab.
The program won't cost taxpayers any money. The humane society will still have to foot the bill for the upkeep of the dogs, so community support is appreciated. You can contact the Oneida County Humane Society if you'd like to donate.

Man arrested after more than 12-hour standoff in Hudson
Submitted: 01/31/2015
- A standoff between police and a man in Hudson has ended with the man taken into custody.
Hudson Police Chief Marty Jensen says a man with a "known history of violence" was arrested shortly before 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police were initially called to the house at 3 a.m. Jensen says the man had trashed his ex-girlfriend's home and phone, but she was able to get to a friend's house and call police.
The woman told police there was a handgun in the house. Roughly eight nearby homes were evacuated as police and the SWAT team tried to get the man to come outside.
Jensen says no shots were fired, but authorities used tear gas and other chemicals during the standoff.

The event draws a huge crowd every year and it raised thousands of dollars for charity.
"We started with six girls and maybe $8000 seven years ago. Now, we're up to 33 girls today and more than $50,000," says Mark Hiller, the St. Germain Radar Run race director. "Every year it just grows, and grows."

University of Wisconsin students track coyotes, foxes
Submitted: 01/31/2015
- A team of students from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, is conducting research on foxes and coyotes in hopes of learning how the animals and humans can peacefully coexist.
Forest and wildlife associate professor David Drake and his students are humanely trapping the animals, running tests, then fitting them with tracking devices. The goal is to learn about traveling patterns, diseases the animals might have, and how they interact with other animals and humans.
Drake says foxes and coyotes are moving into areas where people are living. And if that continues, and the animals lose their fear of humans, they could become aggressive in extreme cases.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says residents should stay a safe distance from foxes or coyotes, and shouldn't feed them.

- More than 2 million Toyota, Chrysler and Honda vehicles are being recalled for a second fix for faulty air bags that may inadvertently inflate while the car is running.
The recall includes some Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla and Toyota Avalon models made from 2002 to 2004.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says all the vehicles covered in Saturday's announcement had already been under a recall for the faulty air bags, but the carmakers' original attempts to fix the defects only worked about 85 percent of the time.

Beyond Cancun: A quieter Mexico
Beyond that is the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve (www.cesiak.org), a Unesco World Heritage Site and home to a rich collection of mangroves, reefs and rare sea turtles who come to lay their eggs on the beach. Both day trips and overnights are possible from Tulum, with hikes and kayaks available to observe the wildlife. But costs are higher than local prices and the official cabins are the only form of accommodation if you prefer to overnight it in the Reserve. With Tulum's beach hotels sequestered to a single country road, Tulum is much more immersed in nature. There is one main grocery store but otherwise you are in the middle of nature, with the ocean on your left and jungle and the occasional house and restaurant on your right as you travel southward. The turquoise ocean and fine, white sand are out of the pages of a glossy brochure. In low season, from Mexican Independence Day (16 September) to early December, you could well score your very own piece of waterfront paradise. Low season also means low prices but some of the restaurants may have limited hours or be closed completely.
Two great eateries by the ocean that are open throughout the year are El Tábano and Posada Margarita. El Tábano (at Kilometer 6 on the beach road, just near the Maya Tulum Hotel; 984-134-8725) serves, from breakfast to dinner, local fresh, modern Mexican food in an open-air setting, across the road from the beach. The service is cheerful, helpful and very welcoming. Fresh flowers, wooden furniture, high thatched roofs and a relaxed staff make this a great place for a long breakfast, an escape from the midday heat or the perfect spot to drink the Mexican Petit Sirah over dinner.
Posada Margarita, (www.posadamargherita.com), which doubles as a small hotel, produces very tasty, if slightly expensive, Italian food by the beach. The decor incorporates local materials and art. As with all Mexican restaurants, your meal is preceded by a gratis helping of tasty chips and freshly made pico de gallo. Posada Margarita brings out a wooden block with four kinds of fresh bread, crudités of cauliflower, pistachios and cheese. Pasta, local fish and good wine are accompanied by the fresh ocean air and a view of the Milky Way if the sky is clear.
Although not close on the water, in town there are several places to eat, from French run cafes with fresh baguettes to tacquerias and more traditional family Mexican restaurants. Don Cafeto, (Av. Tulum No. 64 Lote 12) attracts lots of locals and the food is fresh and served quickly. A simple order of green salad and fish ceviche comes with pico de gallo and chips and a bowl of crudites including potatoes, carrots, peppers and half a bulb of garlic.
With all the edible treats, you might want to hire a bike to get around, and there is a great bike path from the ocean to the town. But bring a flashlight if you are out after dark as the beach road is not well lit. While in Tulum it is also worth swimming in any of the local cenotes - fresh water sink holes that make up the largest network of caverns in the world. Mayans consider them sacred places and they provide an important source of fresh water. For a small entry fee you can swim, snorkel or dive in fresh water and be surrounded by fossilized coral and limestone.
Contrary to what is often reported about Mexico, the Maya Riviera feels safe and open to tourists - there is an obvious police presence in both towns. Both locations make a great introduction to Mexico and with lots of English spoken it is an easy transition with rewards of white beaches, incredible food and a genuine welcome from the locals.

The Cleats Worn by the Golden Boot Winner of the Past 10 Years
Being the leading goal scorer in Europe is not an easy feat to achieve. With so many top clubs across the continent, competition to take the Golden Boot title is highly competitive. Each year, the European Sports media recognizes the top scorer on a weighted league system, where a player in a higher profile league can win even if they score fewer goals than a weaker league.
Fresh off the announcement that Lionel Messi picked up his second consecutive European Golden Boot (or shoe) award (and third in 4 seasons), we take a look at the boots that helped him get there, as well as the past 10 winners.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready. | 1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. |
2 And they saw that the stone had been rolled away. | 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, |
3 And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there. | 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. |
4 And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them: | 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. |
5 And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead? | 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? |
6 He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying, | 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: |
7 The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life. | 7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " |
8 And his words came back into their minds, | 8 Then they remembered his words. |
9 And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others. | 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. |
10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles. | 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. |
11 But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them. | 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. |
12 But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place. | 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. |
13 And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. | 13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. |
14 And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place. | 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. |
15 And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them. | 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; |
16 But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him. | 16 but they were kept from recognizing him. |
17 And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go? | 17 He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast. |
18 Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time? | 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?" |
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people: | 19 "What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. |
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross. | 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; |
21 But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place; | 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. |
22 And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put, | 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning |
23 And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living. | 23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. |
24 And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see. | 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see." |
25 And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said. | 25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! |
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory? | 26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" |
27 And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself. | 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. |
28 And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on; | 28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther. |
29 But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them. | 29 But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them. |
30 And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them. | 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. |
31 And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view. | 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. |
32 And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings? | 32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" |
33 And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together. | 33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together |
34 And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him. | 34 and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon." |
35 And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him. | 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. |
36 And while they were saying these things, he himself was among them, and said to them, Peace be with you! | 36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." |
37 But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit. | 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. |
38 And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt? | 38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? |
39 See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have. | 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself ! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." |
40 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his feet. | 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. |
41 And because, for joy and wonder, they were still in doubt, he said to them, Have you any food here? | 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" |
42 And they gave him a bit of cooked fish. | 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, |
43 And before their eyes he took a meal. | 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence. |
44 And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect. | 44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." |
45 Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds. | 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. |
46 And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day; | 46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, |
47 And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name. | 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. |
48 You are witnesses of these things. | 48 You are witnesses of these things. |
49 And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you. | 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." |
50 And he took them out till they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he gave them a blessing. | 50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. |
51 And while he was doing so, he went from them and was taken up into heaven. | 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. |
52 And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy. | 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. |
53 And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God. | 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. |

Luis Perez RP ATL 10 Months
Braves signed LHP Luis Perez to a minor league contract.
Perez had a tryout with the Braves last week, and they evidently liked what they saw. He'll provide depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.
Luis Perez RP ATL 10 Months
Luis Perez had a tryout with the Braves on Monday.
Perez was just released by the Blue Jays last week. The 29-year-old missed most of last season while making his way back from Tommy John surgery and had scar tissue removed from his elbow in January.
Luis Perez RP ATL 10 Months
A source tells MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo that "as many as eight teams" have interest in Luis Perez.
Perez was released by the Blue Jays earlier in the week. The left-hander in on the comeback trail from elbow surgery this winter.
Luis Perez RP ATL 10 Months
Blue Jays released LHP Luis Perez.
Perez, who is coming back from offseason elbow surgery, was cut from Jays' camp earlier this month. The 29-year-old southpaw appeared in six games with Toronto last season and owns a 4.50 ERA over 112 innings in the majors.
Luis Perez RP ATL 11 Months
Blue Jays reassigned LHP Luis Perez, C Derrick Chung and C Jack Murphy to minor league camp.
It's the second round of cuts the Jays have made this spring. Perez, 29, underwent offseason surgery to remove scar tissue from his left elbow and is expected to begin the season on the disabled list. Perez is 5-6 with a 4.50 ERA over 112 innings in the major leagues.
Luis Perez RP ATL Oct 21 '79
Luis Perez recently underwent surgery to remove scar tissue from his left elbow.
The scar tissue was related to Perez's Tommy John surgery. The left-hander missed all of last season due to the ailment but remains on track to be ready for the start of spring training.
Luis Perez RP ATL Jun 15 '79
Blue Jays activated LHP Luis Perez from the 60-day disabled list.
Perez has missed all season with a partially torn UCL, but he's ready to join the big club after a long rehab process. The lefty held a 3.43 ERA over 35 games for the Jays last season.
Luis Perez RP ATL May 24 '79
Luis Perez will try to rehab his UCL tear.
The ligament is not completely torn, so there is some hope that the left-hander will be able to avoid another surgical procedure. He's doubtful to pitch this season.
Luis Perez RP ATL Apr 13 '79
Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopopulos said Tuesday that Luis Perez (elbow) is "pretty far away" from resuming a minor league rehab assignment.
Perez was shut down after he felt pain in his surgically-repaired elbow during his first rehab appearance on June 10. The setback wasn't considered serious and he has resumed throwing, but there's no timetable for his return to game action.
Luis Perez RP ATL Mar 29 '79
Luis Perez has shut down his rehab due to lingering issues with his surgically-repaired elbow.
Perez underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last July. He might not pitch in the majors in 2013.

Trof RJ et al. – Hemodynamic management guided by transpulmonary thermodilution vs. pulmonary artery catheter in shock did not affect ventilator-free days, lengths of stay, organ failures, and mortality of critically ill patients. Use of the a transpulmonary thermodilution algorithm resulted in more days on mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit length of stay compared with the pulmonary artery catheter algorithm in nonseptic shock but not in septic shock. This may relate to cardiac comorbidity and a more positive fluid balance with use of transpulmonary thermodilution in nonseptic shock.
Methods- A total 120 septic (n=72) and nonseptic (n=48) shock patients, randomized (after stratification) to transpulmonary thermodilution (n=60) or pulmonary artery catheter (n=60) between February 2007 and July 2009.
- Hemodynamic management was guided by algorithms including upper limits for fluid resuscitation of extravascular lung water (<10mL/kg) and global end-diastolic volume index (<850mL/m2) in the transpulmonary thermodilution group and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (<18-20mmHg) in the pulmonary artery catheter group for 72hrs after enrollment.
- Primary outcomes were ventilator-free days and lengths of stay in the intensive care unit and the hospital.
- Secondary outcomes included organ failures and mortality.
- Cardiac comorbidity was more frequent in nonseptic than in septic shock.
- Ventilator-free days, lengths of stay, organ failures, and 28-day mortality (overall 33.3%) were similar between monitoring groups.
- Transpulmonary thermodilution (vs. pulmonary artery catheter) monitoring was associated with more days on mechanical ventilation and longer intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay in nonseptic (p=.001) but not in septic shock.
- In both conditions, fewer patients met the upper limit of volume than of pressure criteria at baseline and transpulmonary thermodilution (vs. pulmonary artery catheter) monitoring was associated with a more positive fluid balance at 24hrs.

Kevin McCarron was walking around the halls of a New York City hospital yesterday and may be home by tomorrow, six days after the former Central Catholic High School honor student and hockey star was clubbed into unconsciousness and left for dead with a fractured skull on a city street.
"I just heard that Kevin is doing really well," Central Catholic's director of alumni relations, Zibby McCleary, said in an email to the school's faculty and staff late Wednesday night. "They are very hopeful that he will come home Saturday."
In a second internal email, McCleary confirmed that McCarron's brother, Patrick, also was injured in the attack, but said his injuries were not serious.
Kevin McCarron, now 24, graduated from the Lawrence school in 2007. His brother graduated in 2005.
"It is going to be a long recovery, but he's on the right track," McCleary said about Kevin McCarron. "He has many Central friends by his side and supporting his family, who are very thankful for all the well wishes."
The recovery may not be a full one. A New York City newspaper yesterday quoted unnamed police sources as saying McCarron may have permanent damage to his motor skills.
His parents, Timothy and Kathleen, have been at the hospital but have declined to be interviewed.
McCarron's rapid recovery at Manhattan's Weill Cornell Medical Center was occurring as the second of his alleged attackers was arraigned for second degree attempted murder and first degree gang assault in Manhattan Criminal Court just before midnight Wednesday.
Sherif Rizk, 22, of Brooklyn, was remanded back to the Manhattan Detention Complex after he was unable to post $15,000 cash bail or a $30,000 bond. He remained at the jail last night, according to the New York City Department of Corrections.
A second suspect, Hatem Farsakh, 24, also charged with attempted murder, has been released on $5,000 bail.
Both men pleaded not guilty and are due back in court this morning to learn whether a grand jury has voted to indict them, a process needed to upgrade the charges to felonies and move the case to state Supreme Court, which is New York State's trial court.
New York City police have refused to release the incident report describing the lopsided attack, when Rizk, Farakh and five others allegedly set upon McCarron with a baseball bat, a tire iron and a blackjack as he and his brother and several others left a Greenwich Village pizzeria at 5:15 a.m. Sunday. The Manhattan DA's complaint against Rizk described the incident in clinical but chilling language.
"The defendant and approximately six other people repeatedly beat (McCarron). . . about the head, face and body with three large hard objects," the complaint says. It says McCarron fell to the ground, where the seven men "continued to beat (McCarron) with the objects and to kick him with their shod feet."
An eyewitness captured the attack on video and posted it on YouTube.com. The brutal images show several men shouting vulgarities while clubbing a man who is on his knees and elbows. A woman can be heard screaming in terror but is not on the video.
Accounts of what provoked the attack have been conflicting. Yesterday, the New York Daily News quoted unnamed police sources saying it began with "a chest bump between McCarron's eight person crew and Farsakh's six person group."
A reporter for the newspaper who visited Farsakh's Brooklyn home said he appeared "to care more about his sandwich" than the allegations against him.
"I was eating a falafel sandwich at Mamoun's — you guys know Mamoun's? Great sandwich," the newspaper reported Farsakh responded when asked to describe the incident. "So I come out and I see a crowd of people like pushing and shoving. I'm trying to break it up and I'm slapping them on the face. I'm like, 'Wake up! You guys are drunk and s---. Let's everybody go home.' "
The attack threatened to cut short a life rich in athletics, scholarship and volunteerism. Besides making the National Honor Society each of his four years at Central Catholic, McCarron served as captain of the hockey and baseball teams and also played golf. He was named an Eagle-Tribune hockey all-star and received a Boston Bruins Sportsmanship Award in his senior year.
He graduated Providence College in Rhode Island in 2011 and now works for the Eliassen Group, a technology consulting and recruiting firm in Wakefield. He volunteered throughout college, including for the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence in Providence.
At the school yesterday, as students were taking mid-term and final exams, officials informed them of the attack on the public address system.
"A lot of kids never heard of Kevin McCarron or will never meet him, but it doesn't mean he wasn't one of ours," said Marc Pelletier, a teacher and former dean of students at Central Catholic and its baseball coach for 26 years. "Hell recover. He's a strong kid."
Pelletier recalled a baseball game with Amesbury High School when McCarron, a catcher, came to bat with the bases loaded after failing to get a hit in three times at bat. The game was tied 3-3 in the seventh inning.
McCarron hit a triple, driving in three runs and winning the game for Central.
"Kevin and I are walking off the field," Pelletier remembered. "I'm congratulating him, one-on-one, as we're heading toward the bus. Classic Kevin, in a deadpan voice, says, 'That's what you pay me to do, coach.' I never laughed so hard."
"I would have little doubt that this was anything more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time," said David DeFillippo, Central Catholic's director of community relations, dismissing suggestions that McCarron may have provoked the attack. "There was nothing in his character that indicated it was anything more. Even when he played sports, he played with skill and with passion, but it was never out of control."

Welcome back to Roots Report! It's obvious now that digital politics are among us, but are campaigns really grasping the concept of using the web to gain voters? Even with politicos Tweeting and creating Facebook Pages, one article shows that only 1% of political media dollars is spent on digital. And, a social network for non-profits is on the horizon. We have the video of Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes discussing his new project, Jumo. Finally, with the popularity of mobile apps growing it's important to know who is actually using them.

The New Twitter and what it means for you
Twitter said it best, "Life doesn't always fit into 140 characters or less". The new Twitter.com will allow your "overflow" to be seen. Our Daily Reports often feature articles addressing the importance of using multimedia tools such as YouTube and live-stream videos for your campaign or organization. The new Twitter will allow for instantaneous viewing of your multimedia posts. Some of our RootsHQ clients have expressed their preference to update their Facebook Page versus their Twitter account because they believe more information is accessible on Facebook.

David Beckham may be one of the best things to have happened to the game of soccer since cleats were invented, but he's also one of the best things to have happened to advertising since the dawn of modern media…at least in my book. I mean, have you seen his nearly nude Armani ads? [Now you have! See above! -- Editor]
Well, if the European Parliament has anything to do with it, our friends on the other side of the pond may not have the good fortune of gazing at Beckham's chiseled abs in glossies and on the sides of buses for much longer. Earlier this month, the Parliament voted in favor of a report drafted by the Women's Rights Committee that aims to more tightly monitor nudity in marketing campaigns and to end the use of gender stereotypes.

Even during the country's civil war, Nestlé remained active in northern Sri Lanka, operating four chilling centres at the edge of government-controlled areas, which were supplied by collection points further north.
In 2010, Nestlé Sri Lanka was able to extend its milk collection to the resettlement areas, providing a stable market and much needed income for those dairy farmers returning to the area. Four new chilling centres have been set up in the war-ravaged north of the country since June 2010, reflecting our ongoing commitment to developing the country's dairy sector and accelerating economic development and prosperity in rural communities.
Under traditional dairy farming practice in the northern regions of the country, cattle are free to graze openly. As many dairy farmers had to leave their livestock behind when they fled the fighting, the area has a lot of free-roaming cattle.
Productivity is extremely low – an average of 1.5 litres of marketable milk per cow per day – so not surprisingly, despite possessing an estimated 40% of the country's cattle, the north and east together produce only 22% of the nation's milk.
Nestlé Lanka procures an average of 104 tonnes of milk every day from 14,000 local dairy farmers, and has supported the Sri Lankan dairy sector since 1982. Rural milk collecting points and chilling centres were first established close to our Kurunegala factory in the north west, but since 2009, we have almost doubled the number of collection points to 1,200.
In addition to milk collection and chilling facilities, Nestlé is helping farmers to improve the quality of their herds through breeding with stud bulls, artificial insemination and the cultivation of green fodder.
Nestlé, which benefits from a reliable supply of local, high-quality fresh milk, also offers a range of microfinance loans to the farmers and also provides them with advice on animal husbandry techniques.

As Tuesday's sunrise spread vintage Broncos colors across downtown, it looked like a city transformed.
Which, of course, it is. From the bluff alongside I-25, you now gaze over hundreds of housing units popping up in the Platte Valley, the almost-finished facade of Ocean Journey and the cranes carrying pieces of the Pepsi Center. From here you can't see the giant Pavilions sign reminding us that this is Denver, a city that subsidizes retail projects that demand advertising logos be deemed works of art; a city that considers the disappearance of the last surface parking lot along the Sixteenth Street Mall a mark of progress. And there, to the right of Coors Field, peeking through this riot of construction, is the edge of the Ballpark Neighborhood--where more walls could soon come tumbling down.
The Platte Valley, not this modest neighborhood just northeast of LoDo, seemed to have a lock on favored-location status for Denver's major-league ballpark. But surprising almost everyone, the stadium district instead decided to put Coors Field in the historic heart of the city, where it would share the streets with century-old warehouses and storefronts.
That there was any neighborhood left to cozy up to Coors Field was almost as miraculous as the choice of sites. Larimer Street was once Denver's busiest commercial strip, but by the Sixties it had slid into the city's skid row. Dana Crawford's Larimer Square saved the Victorian buildings in the 1400 block, but from there on up to 20th Street, the street was stripped bare by urban renewal. Beyond that, what was left was a no-man's-land of pawnshops and bars and modest storefronts along upper Larimer, with their hundred years of history and grime. The people who'd kept these businesses going had grit, too: people like Ed Maestas, who owned Johnnie's Market, the oldest grocery downtown; and Manuel Silva, who ran La Casa de Manuel a few doors away.
When the announcement came that the ballpark would be built just a couple of blocks from there, these businesses decided to hang on to what they had a little while longer. Rather than take a fast buck and turn their places into parking lots, they agreed to a moratorium on any demolition in what was soon called the Ballpark Neighborhood. They hoped to make that protection more permanent by having the entire neighborhood declared a historic landmark.
Half a dozen years later, those plans are still in limbo. And without historic protection, Manuel's is history.
Ten days ago Manuel Silva got the letter announcing that his lease at 2010 Larimer Street was being terminated--and that La Casa de Manuel had until December 15 to get out. That's a fast end to forty years of history.
Manuel's father, mother and eight siblings moved to Denver forty years ago, in September 1958, with exactly $500 in life savings and dreams of opening a restaurant. They leased space from William Katchen that had previously been occupied by a Japanese jeweler and started setting up a Mexican restaurant, but $500 didn't go far. Public service and the phone company wanted several hundred dollars in deposits, so the family sat in the storefront with no heat and no phone until a neighbor noticed their plight and helped them get a loan from the St. Cajetan's credit union. They used it to open Monterey House #1.
By the Seventies, Manuel had taken over. He changed the name of the restaurant and filled the modest space with a half-dozen folk-art murals painted by Jose Castillo, a bellman at the Brown Palace. For at least the past twenty years, Manuel has had just a month-to-month lease on the storefront. For most of that time, that was all he needed. But then came baseball.
Baseball brought plenty of good things to this neighborhood, but it also brought problems. Higher rents, for example, on both leases and per-hour parking spots. "Baseball is a bitch," says Manuel, although it sounds like "pitch" when he says it. On game days you have to pay $15 to park in order to get a $4 burrito. "You'd have to be mentally retarded for that," he adds.
For the past three or four years, Manuel knew his deal could be up any day. Still, when that day came, he wasn't ready. "I've been working hard all my life," says Manuel, who's sixty. "I can't retire now."
So he's looking for another space. He owns a building on West 44th that's occupied by another Mexican restaurant, but its owner is 67, so maybe he's ready to retire. Manuel would like to stay in the neighborhood, though, since at least half of his customers--and there are hundreds each day--walk to his place from downtown. There are some empty buildings on the block, and if he moves into one of those, it would be easier to transfer his murals and his assorted Best of Denver awards and his old family recipe for that great, stew-like green chile--as well as all his regulars. Manuel's still considering his options, although he has to consider them quickly. "I'll see what comes out," he says. "If I move, it's going to be hard on my customers.

Visiting the Eden Project with your dog
You can bring your dog into our outdoor gardens at no extra charge.
Rules for dogs visiting Eden
Dogs can enjoy the miles of outdoor paths at Eden but won't be allowed in the Biomes or other undercover areas, apart from the Visitor Centre (including the ticketing hall and shop). We are confident dogs will behave but there are a few ground rules for owners.
Dogs should be:
- kept on a lead at all times
- with their handlers at all times
- only be walked on paths
- kept away from play areas
- not taken into buildings other than the Visitor Centre.
Owners should stick to the number one rule of ensuring all dog mess is promptly and properly disposed of in the special bins provided.
Aggressive dogs are not permitted into the Eden Project. We reserve the right to refuse entry to, or remove, any dog thought to be dangerous to visitors or other dogs.
Dogs are not permitted at the Eden Sessions music and comedy concerts.
Because some of our paths are narrow we prefer that you only have one dog per person, but will allow a maximum of two.
Dog strollers are permitted into the Eden Project but, as with dogs on leads, must not taken into buildings other than the Visitor Centre.
Extra facilities
- Dedicated dog waste bins.
- Water for dogs.

does anyone know where to get seeds for this monarda? i've looked all over the internet and can't find seeds of purely the red variety, and not a cultivar, just the original. i thought this plant was native to ohio and that it would be easy to find. any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The New England Wild Flower Society sells straight red mondarda. You have to join the organization to buy seeds from them, but they are a good cause. |

Actually, you don't have to join NEWFS to buy, but there are advantages to doing so, and you've got to move quickly, sales close in mid-March. I've grown the species from seed and not found it a wonderful plant. A little limp; actually, a lot limp. From the pictures I've seen, the cultivars are taller with bigger flowers and stand up straighter. But mine may not get quite enough sun (or maybe moisture as well) where I have it and may suffer from that. Note to self: Put it on the list -- time for a monarda move! |
They grow wonderfully in the NC mts. in seeps where there is a patch of sun. I have tried some in drier sites, and they did not do well. I plan to collect seeds next year if the plants are still in the place for which I have permission. There WAS a big stand of them where someone built a house AND channeled the spring away from them. In two years they were all gone. So, apparently they do need more water than other monardas. Oh, same for the Gray's lily that was nearby. What a shame as it is a plant that is threatened or endangered in most areas. |

The Minnesota Vikings selected Cordarrelle Patterson in the first round, the Tennessee Titans took Justin Hunter in the second round and the Oakland Raiders chose tight end Mychal Rivera in the sixth round. Zach Rogers signed as a free agent with the New York Jets.
Their departures leave Tennessee without any wideouts who caught more than 13 passes or accumulated more than 149 receiving yards last season. Marquez North and Josh Smith, freshmen who weren't around for spring practice, already are getting first-team reps. All starting positions in the receiving corps remain up for grabs.
"I told my wife today this season may age me about 10 years," Tennessee wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni quipped after Tuesday night's practice. "There will be some peaks and valleys for sure. There will be a lot of growing pains, but they're willing and it will be fun coaching these young guys."
Tennessee's lack of proven playmakers in the passing game represents a major concern heading into the Aug. 31 season opener with Austin Peay. A first-year starting quarterback who hasn't been named yet will be throwing to an untested receiving corps.
Azzanni says he feels "a lot better" about his receivers now than in spring practice, when his players struggled to adapt to new coach Butch Jones' fast-paced offense.
"We've come a long way," sophomore Alton "Pig" Howard said. "A lot of us got used to the offense. Everyone's buying in. We're way more conditioned."
The arrival of a talented freshman class provides hope. The headliner in that group is North, one of the nation's top receiving prospects in his class.
At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, North possesses the size this receiving corps was seeking. Tennessee's only wideouts who caught a pass last year - Howard, junior Jacob Carter, junior Vincent Dallas and converted running back Devrin Young - are 6 feet or shorter. The Vols do have 6-5 redshirt freshman Jason Croom, who has earned plenty of praise from the new staff.
"In a very small time, (North) has proven that he's going to be one of our playmakers," Jones said. "He's dynamic. He's strong. He's physical. He can run."
Smith also has made a favorable impression, though an injury prevented him from working out with the other receivers Tuesday. Newcomers also include Blinn (Texas) College transfer Johnathon Johnson plus freshmen Paul Harris and Ryan Jenkins. Harris enrolled in time to participate in spring practice.
Azzanni said he likes to rotate as many as nine receivers, so every wideout on the roster has an opportunity. These receivers are getting a crash course on how to thrive with this staff.
Howard said he's watched film of Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, who transformed from walk-on to star while playing for Jones and Azzanni at Central Michigan. Azzanni, who came to Tennessee from Wisconsin, said he spent the majority of an hour-long meeting Tuesday showing clips of Jared Abbrederis, a former walk-on who earned all-Big Ten honors with the Badgers a year ago.
Perhaps one of these young receivers eventually develops into the next Abbrederis or Brown so that Tennessee fans won't spend the season looking back wistfully at the exploits of Patterson and Hunter. But no leader from this group has emerged just yet.
"I wish we had a little bit more 'alpha male' in our group, but we just don't," Azzanni said. "Part of the reason is because we don't have a guy who's stepped up and taken a starting job yet. No one's really stepped up and said, 'I'm the man. Follow me.' Everyone's still trying to find their way, feel their way and earn a spot."

Lake Storey was constructed during the years of 1927 and 1929, by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The lake was erected so that locomotives would have soft water to run through them, as the City Reservoir was considered too harsh for the boilers and pistons. The Lake was originally named "Santa Fe" but later renamed "Lake Storey" for W.B. Storey, President of the Railway. In 1952 the Santa Fe Railway Company deeded the lake over to the City of Galesburg.
Enjoy the serenity of Lake Storey Beach, Pavilion and Park this spring and summer. A beautiful retaining wall surrounds the golden sand on the beach. Sidewalks will lead you directly onto the beach and down to the boat ramp. Modernized showers and locker room facilities are available for your convenience. Check out the tube waterslide for a bit of fun and excitement. This is the perfect place to spend your spring and summer days. We just ask that you take care of the facilities and landscaping to help keep our parks well maintained and clean.
(May 25 - September 2, 2013) Closed Monday through Thursday Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Holidays................11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Swimming is not allowed when lifeguards are not on duty, for your safety!
Personal canoes, kayaks and jon boats may be used on the lake as long as they are registered with the Illinois Department of Conservation. The City of Galesburg only allows trolling motors on Lake Storey.
Waterslide and Boat Rentals Individual $20 Family $45 (4 individuals per family) *The family must reside in the same household. There will be an additional $5 per family member if there are more than four in the family.
All individuals fishing must have an Illinois Fishing License. Lake Storey is stocked with Catfish, Northern Pike, and plenty of other fish. All Illinois State requirements apply. Fishing tackle and live bait are not available.
Please do not feed the wildlife. Feeding may be fun, but in kindness to the wildlife and consideration for the balance of nature it is not good. Breadcrumbs and popcorn are not good wildlife food. If you feed the birds and animals, they lose their food foraging instinct and the need to migrate.
To help ensure that this 4th of July is safe and enjoyable for everyone utilizing Lake Storey, please remember these safety tips: *All fireworks and alcohol are prohibited *Parents, please watch your children *Use the Buddy System so you do not get lost in the crowd. This helps keep you safe in the water, too *Help the lifeguards do their job by listening to them and following the rules *Play it safe this Independence Day, do not swim alone or without a buddy.
Do not forget fireworks at Lake Storey Beach at sunset.

A handful of potential bidders, including private equity firms, are lining up to look at BlackBerry Ltd, a Canadian telecommunication and wireless equipment company best known as the developer of the BlackBerry brand of smartphones and tablets, but initial indications suggest that interest is tepid and buyers are eyeing parts of the Canadian smartphone maker rather than the whole company, according to several sources familiar with the situation.
Private equity firms are mostly interested in businesses such as BlackBerry's operating system and the patents around its keyboard, two of the sources said.
However, one possibility is for a Canadian pension fund to team up with an investor to buy the whole company, which is currently worth a little more than $5 billion, one of the sources said.
BlackBerry's biggest shareholder, Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd, has approached several large Canadian investment funds about forging a deal to take the smartphone maker private, Reuters reported last week.
Fairfax has a 10 per cent stake, and its chairman and chief executive, Prem Watsa, has left BlackBerry's board to avoid any possible conflict of interest as the company assesses its strategic options.
Nevertheless, in recent days a few private equity firms have signed confidentiality agreements or have agreed to meetings with the company to gain access to the company's books, the sources said, adding that the sale process was expected to start in a few weeks. BlackBerry declined to comment. Source

It's amazing what a week and change can do. A little perspective, and the time to dig deeper and do some more research can make a world of difference. I'm talking, of course, about my thoughts on the Toronto Raptors selecting Jonas Valanciunas with the 5th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.
While the pick wasn't a shock once I took a moment to consider that the team hadn't expected him to fall past Cleveland's fourth selection, in the moment it was announced, it was everything I wasn't expecting. With lots of talk about Brandon Knight, Kawhi Leonard and Bismack Biyombo, I thought the team would be taking a player I had researched thoroughly, interviewed or had spoken to scouts about. Instead, I got a 19 year-old whose only takeaway from the media session held the day before the draft was how skinny he was. Awesome, right?
I wasn't thrilled. I was…Nervous. Not as a writer, because whether the pick was a steal or a disaster, I'd have things to write about, but as a person who has come to know and appreciate how passionate all Raptors fans are about their team. Listening to them in the stands, in the hallways of the Air Canada Centre during games, seeing the tweets and @ replies, reading the emails from them, they really, desperately wanted a player to be excited about. With the way the previous two seasons had gone, who could blame them?
And so, I cringed for them. I was hesitant with them. I was unsure right alongside of them. That is, until the responses started coming in from some of those same scouts and front office people I'd spoken to leading up to the draft. The responses –and no, not all of the people were from the Raptors camp– were all the same: Jonas Valanciunas is a stud. He's nothing like Andrea Bargnani. He's tough. The positive words went on and on. Enough to make me feel better. Enough to make me calm down and realize that the Raptors did what any team says they'll do when a prospect who isn't expected to be available is suddenly still on the board when their five minutes to make a selection begins: They chose who they felt was the best player available. Just as they had with Ed Davis a year earlier, when Davis had inexplicably fell to 13th.
After watching Youtube clips, reading articles and recently being able to track and watch Valanciunas in the FIBA Under-19 Tournament in Latvia, it all makes sense. This kid, he can play. And he wants to play. He wants the ball, he wants to play defence, he wants to block shots and rebound, follow the loose ball wherever it takes him. He wants to dunk the ball, to scream, to foul his opponents so hard they'll think twice about coming at him again (something that, while I love the passion, makes me wonder if he'll be plagued with foul trouble when he is finally in a Raptors uniform), to prove he belongs in the NBA, playing against the best of the best. I was told he's got a bit of an edge to him when he talks about competition, a fire that you can't teach.
After Lithuania's 107-105 loss to the USA this morning, USA coach Paul Hewitt had this to say about Valanciunas: "After the game, he was so upset he was crying and punching walls. And then this:He's the real deal. I love his competitiveness. He went Rambo on us in the second half." (via @DrewEbanks).
Without needlessly throwing anyone under the bus, there are players on the Raptors current roster who would never receive praise like this.
In short: I'm excited. I'm so excited to see this young, hungry, player who wants so badly to play under the bright lights of the NBA. Of course, with this excitement, comes the news that Valanciunas won't be here in Toronto for another season, but at this point, that's cool. Let him get bigger, stronger and a year older. Hopefully we'll have a season to watch the rest of the Raptors roster develop while he does his thing overseas, but if not, we'll be eagerly awaiting his debut and tracking his progress next season. The Jonas Valanciunas hype-machine has been turned on and set to high and I don't expect it to be dialed down anytime soon.
As of today, Valancuinas might just be named the MVP of the Under-19 World Championship. He's currently leading in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots with 21.4 points, 13.4 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game. This is impressive stuff, even if it is against under-19 competition. Also, check out this great shot from Scott Carefoot's Twitter of Valanciunas blocking Canadian Sim Bhullar. Pretty sweet.
Get excited, Raptors fans. It's okay. If we're let down, we're let down. I don't think this guy is going to let us down because of a lack of effort or pride. I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Join me, why don't you?

Craigslist Joe is an offbeat documentary following the life of 29-year-old Joseph Garner, as he lives 30 days using nothing except what he can find on the elusive site. With no money, no contacts and no home, Garner embarks on a journey to reconnect with a world that seems increasingly disconnected.
Craigslist has earned a reputation for its open community environment that allows people to post and respond to ads anonymously. With many Internet spoofs on humorous Craigslist ads, the film is an immersive exploration on who the people behind these ads truly are. Carrying nothing but the clothes on his back and a laptop, Joe begins a truly captivating social experiment. Despite the fact America has been undergoing sluggish economic growth, the film captures the generosity behind common citizens.
The documentary film is produced by Zach Galifianakis and is set to open in theaters August 2, 2012.
