The attorney for a Springfield Gardens teen who was arrested in connection with two violent attempted rapes says the police have got the wrong man. There have been at least five sex attacks in Southeast Queens over the last month.
In addition to proclaiming his client's innocence, he successfully argued that the youth should be tried in Family Court rather than Criminal Court because of his age. The Queens District Attorney's Office initially opposed the idea, citing the brutality of the attacks, but later agreed.
"The acts may have been violent, but my view is that my client did not have anything to do with the crimes," said Roger Archibald, the teen's lawyer. "We are preparing to file a motion to have the case heard in Family Court. This will be vigorously opposed by the DA and the people, and a judge will have to make a decision."
Last Friday, a Queens Criminal Court judge agreed with Archibald's assessment and the prosecutors conceded, so the case will be tried in Family Court.
"After a thorough review of the law and the facts, and after consulting with our colleagues at the corporation counsel, we determined that this case would best be prosecuted in Family Court," Merris Campbell, a spokeswoman for the Queens DA, said Monday.
Archibald, a Brooklyn-based attorney, said he plans to make a motion to suppress any and all statements that the youth gave to the police, because he says the teen's parents were not present and the boy did not wave his Miranda rights "intelligently, knowingly and voluntarily," a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
The teen, whom Archibald said has no prior criminal history, is being held on $150,000 bail, but he would not say where the boy is being detained.
The defendant allegedly attacked a 40-year-old woman behind a building at 227-13 145 Road in Jamaica on Oct. 9 at around 1:15 a.m., according to the NYPD. He is accused of throwing her to the ground, beating her, pulling her pants down, putting his finger inside her and attempting to have sex with her. The teen allegedly fled when another resident heard the woman's cries for help and intervened.
The victim suffered severe bruising to her eyes, lacerations to the inside of her mouth, a nasal fracture which required surgery, a laceration to her cheek requiring stitches, severe abrasions to both her knees requiring debridement, as well as contusions, and pain and swelling to the rear of her head, according to the Queens DA.
He is also charged with approaching a 24-year-old woman from behind on Oct. 16 at around 7:15 p.m. in Laurelton, allegedly placing her in a headlock and punching her repeatedly until she fell to the ground and lost consciousness. In addition, he is accused of scratching at the victim's legs and trying to remove her girdle.
The woman suffered a lacerated lip, lacerations to the inside of her mouth, bruising, swelling and pain to her face and bruising and contusions to the rear of her head, the Queens DA said.
"He must be troubled in some way that caused him to do that," the Rev. Charles Norris of the Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church in Jamaica, who has been a leader in the fight against youth crime, said of the boy. "He obviously has major problems that have to be dealt with before he goes to court. Jail is not going to help him. They need to find out if he is psychologically damaged and do what they can to help him."
Ann Jawin, founder of the Queens-based Center for the Women of New York, said she was "horrified," when she heard the news of the recent sex attacks, but agreed with Norris that the teen should be tried in Family Court.
"I think he is extremely disturbed and deranged, but the law shouldn't be changed because the crimes are horrific," she said. "In this case if they think he should be tried in Family Court then they must have good reason. I still think he will still receive severe punishment."
The law does allow for 15-year-old defendants to be tried as adults, and crime victims advocate Shawn Williams, a resident of LeFrak City and the mother of three daughters expressed a dissenting point of view.
"The punishment should be in accordance with the severity of the crime, and if he beat those women bloody, he should be tried in Criminal Court not Family Court," she said.
Asked whether she thinks, as some community members have stated, that prison time could make the youth more violent than ever, Williams stated "That's the chance we have to take. The law is the law. You do the crime. You do the time. It's as simple as that."
The teen was initially charged with second-degree assault as a sexually motivated felony, attempted rape and first-degree sexual abuse. Tried in Criminal Court as a juvenile offender, he would have faced two and two-thirds to eight years in prison if convicted. But the sentence may be less in Family Court.
"The defendant is accused of prowling the streets and preying on vulnerable women," Queens DA Richard Brown said in a statement. "The offenses that the defendant is accused of committing are crimes of violence that posed a serious threat to public safety and which warrant vigorous prosecution."

Wellness Treatments:
Fitness Feels the Burn
By: Katherine and Kimberly Corp
Posted: August 23, 2010, from the September 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 4
Both baby boomers and Generation X have come to view the spa industry as an essential part of a healthy regimen. With stress relief as the No. 1 goal, one out of every four adults has visited a spa and, on average, 1,600 new spas have opened each year since 1999, according to Merriman Curhan Ford's Fitness and Wellness Report, 2008. Spas today now offer fitness classes such as Pilates and yoga, as well as more traditional services, such as therapeutic massage for muscle fatigue and tightness, and body wraps and saunas for detoxification and rejuvenation. "Women and men of all ages always want to feel and look healthy, and feel and look younger, and spas will always fill that important need," says Mattalian. From new moms juggling kids and career, to 30-somethings training for a triathlon, the benefits of spa services will hold the interest of the more-than-35 crowd in the coming years, predicts Mattalian.
Generation X. For Generation X, the 2009 bias toward workouts that provide multiple benefits is expected to endure. Due to time constraints, financial limitations and a desire to take on new challenges later in life, group fitness programs, such as boot camp-style workouts, dance-based aerobics classes and training groups for triathlons, marathons, rock climbing and other more extreme sports are gaining popularity. Boot camp-style workouts topped the list of predicted fitness trends for 2008–2009, and given their overwhelming success coupled with the uncertain economic future, industry experts anticipate this trend will continue in 2011. With the recent explosion of dance-based television shows, group classes with dance themes such as Zumba*, ballroom and even cardio striptease appeal to clients' sense of fun—and their budgets.
Likewise, the Generation X crowd shows an interest in tackling fitness endeavors previously considered attainable only by elite athletes. Thus gyms, products and services that can address the training needs of this ambitious group through conditioning regimens, performance analysis tools or motivational programs stand to benefit in the coming year. The number of websites that maintain online communities for avid amateur athletes with similar interests to chat, exchange training tips and provide the accountability factor has soared. Similarly, there has been an increase in the number of computer applications—downloadable to cell phones and MP3 players, of course—offering comprehensive fitness and exercise analysis metrics far beyond the typical heart rate, calories burned and mileage completed. The technology available today to help consumers reach their fitness goals is unparalleled, and the Generation Xers are not afraid to learn how to use it.
Generation Y. Technological innovations are sculpting a new landscape for fitness, and the Generation Y crowd and younger lead the pack of eager users. Although video games were once maligned as a prominent factor in childhood obesity, exergaming uses the reality of video games to get people off the couch and moving. The introduction of games such as Dance Dance Revolution, Skywall, and snowboarding and surfing simulators into clubs has taken the negative connotation out of the word "exercise" and replaced it with the word "fun." More recent breakthroughs include an exercise bike that steers and shifts along virtual reality courses and allows for real-time racing with other users over an Internet connection. Even traditional weight lifting has taken advantage of new technology. For instance, Afterburner Fitness designed a remote control weight stack that uses patented technology to adjust the weight automatically during exercise, so as the user fatigues, the weight gradually lightens.
Ironically, according to Recreation Management magazine, studies reveal that the average age of an exergamer is 35, and women comprise a little more than 40% of the group. These statistics may include parents who are purchasing video game systems for their children to use at home and then using the games themselves. If this is the case, exergaming and the merger of fitness with technology casts a positive, hopeful light on the childhood obesity crisis facing the nation. The Generation Y crowd and its younger counterparts grew up inundated with technology and video games, and the companies that can capture the imagination of this group and mobilize them simultaneously are poised to excel in the coming years. Although a number of companies have been hesitant to invest in interactive websites or products with a real-life appeal, Mattalian insists, "Technology is the wave of the future."

Below is the message I posted earlier today in a previous and older thread about our attempts to set up speakers for our tv-to-be and music. After posting we kept reading and it seems like all the speaker bars are talking about not needing rear speakers...but we thought we could use them as the front and center speakers since we have no problems with mounting in wall rear speakers but cannot do the fronts in wall or on bookshelves....we're beginning to feel over our heads and thinking we should just send our Polks back...help?
Well, in the heat of the demolition and early remodel, we decided we were going to "hold off" on doing anything about our audio-visual, after we talked to a few experts who made us realize there was a whole lot out there we hadn't even considered. Our contractor put conduit in the walls and cielings to the places where it was pretty much agreed our rear and kitchen speakers would go and we thought we were just going to leave it like until after the remodel. But as we settled into our new routine and had more opportunities to talk to people, everyone encouraged us to at least "do something" so we did a little research on our own and ended up buying Polk TC60i speakers for our rear speakers for our tv and for the kitchen. We have found a guy we can hire to come pull the wire through the conduit and put the speakers in the cieling which was our second level of "well, this is all we'll do for now". And now we're thinking, geez, we've gone this far, let's at least get the surround sound for the tv in place so we researched receivers and are pretty convinced we'll get the Onkyo 876. (We started out with the 806 but then realized we will eventually want to hook up an Ipod, our son's Wii and PS3 so decided the 876 was a better choice.)
However, when we tried to read about this, we didn't make much progress. Can anyone enlighten us as to what the main things are we need to consider in looking at these front-center speaker bars? Are there aspects about the rear speakers we need to consider in looking at a speaker bar? Any hints to help getting us going on this step will be appreciated....thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry for the double-posting! I looked and the first one hadn't appeared so I thought I'd forgotten to "submit" (as sometimes happens) and so I reposted.... |
I don't have any direct experience with speaker bars, but I can try to answer your questions anyway. Firstly, can you use a speaker bar but use your rear speakers? I think the answer is yes, but it depends on the speaker bar you choose. If the bar has a separate set of binding posts for each channel, then I guess you could do it, and part of the speaker bar would never get used. I looked at a few bars after reading your post and a few of them used optical audio connectors instead - something like that you wouldn't be able to separate the channels out. So make sure you know what the inputs on the back look like. Also, I found one or two units that only have the front and center channels on them (no rears). Something like this might be ideal for you since you don't have to worry about paying for extra speakers in the bar that you are not using. You could still send your rears back if you want, get a full speaker bar. I don't see how they could sound as good as a nice set of independent speakers, but most folks are not picky enough to care. Also - if you want any kind of punch in your bass, you'll still want a separate subwoofer, even with the speaker bar. Again, you might not be picky enough to care. |
mjacyno, thanks so much for your posting. It is helpful in that it helps us feel more confident. This morning we were wondering if we could just use the speaker bar for surround sound for the tv/movies/games and use the cieling speakers when we play music but someone else suggested to us that we should do it the opposite. That is, use the rear speakers with the bar when we play movies/tv/games and just use the front speakers in the bar plus a subwoofer when we play music. We like that idea but don't really know if this person knew anything more than we do...and so we keep plodding along. We do have a call into our installer to see if he can help us sort it out as well. |
You'll want surround sound for movies/TV/games for sure, so use your rears for those. You don't need the rears for music. You probably don't have to do anything to make this work - your receiver should handle sending the channels to the right speakers. Some folks send music through the rears also, either way. But absolutely take advantage of all of your speakers (including subwoofer) for watching tv/movies and playing games. |

I've expressed my love of Taylor Jacobson, one of Rachel Zoe's styling associates who is often called "crabby" by people who don't understand her deep personality. But I'm not choosing sides in the Taylor-Brad debate because Brad Goreski is just as lovable in his own way. And the fact that Brad's a guy doesn't mean I can't cop his style: We already have a love of plaid and bow ties in common!

This series of works are all fractal based using my own math equations. Although the works themselves have no representational presence, the series is very inspired by music and the sense of rhythm innate in each of us, no matter the style or genre of music we like, fundamentally the result is the same. A feeling or emotion is generated within. Some works are named after the music itself, and others after lyrics which touched me at that time. Not all works are named in English, so a translation of the title is here. Each work has been post processed to give you the highest standard print quality possible and watermarks do not appear on your prints. Belle Nuit O Nuit D'Amour - Beautiful night, oh night of love
My great love of nature, animals and ever changing seasons is what first brought me to art at a very young age. I have done a great many things throughout my life, but the one constant has always remained; the love of art and of creating. By nature I'm very introverted, emotional and sensitive, although most would not see this unless they looked at my art, and many have referred to me as being "the romantic artist". I'm unsure whether I agree with the assessment, but my emotional sensitivity is very much in tune with my creativity. I would go so far as to say I am in tune with the world around me on sometimes a very raw level. I have studied with some brilliant artists in the world as well as taken private art classes on a regular...

"Although I would like to give this recipe 5 stars for taste and ease, cooking the already cooked shrimp at 400 degrees for 15-20 mins really made it too tough to eat. Maybe I did something wrong? Next time I think I will try to cook it with raw shrimp and see how it turns out."
"While I love the "make ahead" part and I love love love to use my crock pot, I thought these were just ok. I dont think that I will make again. Too sour creamy or cream cheesy. Something a little off with the taste. I guess I like traditional potatoes."
"Absolutely the easiest cookie recipe ever. Delicious also! I used betty crocker devils food mix and they are disappearing fast!! Want to try spice cake mix for variation."
"Fabulous recipe!! Next time I will make more of the sauce to put over rice!! Everyone loved it!"
"OMG sooo good. I could not find corn biscuits either so halved the recipe and used one small can of the buttermilk biscuits and some homemade chili. I think the serving size is a little too small, the halved recie made 3 good size portions. And you certainly want a good size portion for this meal!"
"Very good, came out like a sweeter version of chili. 9 hours is WAY TOO LONG to cook in the crockpot though, it was burned to sides of my crockpot when I came home from work. Next time I will cook it for 4-5 hours."

what are your preferences for types of door stops? i've never had to worry about this before and to be honest, i can't recall what kind we had in the old house. actually, now that i think about it, i'm wondering if we had any at all.
i was considering those half moons that mount to the floors, but my dh isn't thrilled with the idea of drilling them into our hardwood floors. i realize once all the furniture is moved in my attention won't be focused on these very small but highly noticeable (to me) functional items, but what is the least noticeable location for a door stop? baseboard, back of door, wall? |

Ours are in the baseboards, honestly, the only time I even see them is when, ahem, sitting on the potty! :) I agree with your dh, I wouldn't want anything drilled into the floors. I didn't even like that they had to put air vents in the floors, and those were pretty and oak! |

I prefer the ones on the door hinges. If the door is 6'8" or 7' the top hinge works for placement. Taller than that and you need to either place it at the middle hinge or use two stops one at the top and one at the bottom. We had the ones attached to the baseboard at 2 of our last houses and the kids were always playing with the ones that are designed like a big spring--getting the dust accumulation out of the springs was also a bear. The solid ones were always coming out of the baseboard as the screw attaching it was too short. This is just our experience. |
I have the ones that screw into the baseboards. I just had all the trim & doors repainted and I had the painters fill in some of the holes where I felt we didn't really need the doorstops. But I have a bigger problem - we bought the house this past year, it is 10 yrs old - most of the doorstops are missing the little rubber bumper!! How did that happen? Maybe the previous owners had a dog who ate the bumpers! It isn't easy to find replacements for just the bumpers in the right size and color. |
We used the hinge ones also for the same reasons stated by mydreamhome. |
Chispa, in our old house we had the kind with the white rubber stoppers and I took them all off when my children were toddlers, as I was afraid they would pull them off and choke! I never got around to putting them back on...but since the family who bought our house has babies...they probably didn't want them either! Perhaps that's what happened to yours. |
Nini, I know the previous owners' kids were already older when they moved here, but I did have a friend a while back whose toddler was fond of chewing on the doorstops!! We will be buying new door hardware for an addition we just did, so I will try to get the GC to find me the extra stoppers. |

i don't think i've ever seen door stops that work with the hinges. i'm googling... |
Kate - I haven't used these, but I am considering them for our house. |

dekeoboe, i came across this product soon after i began searching for the hinge stoppers. i'm definitely going to order one to see how they work. i don't think anyone would notice it was even there. i'll post back after i try it out. |

Wow, those are cool. I don't like the half moon ones either although my door hardware guy has ordered several (I guess the baseboard ones won't work). Might have to look at those for our doors with the half moon stops. |
I have seen damage done to doors by the half-moon hinge mounted door stops. Haven't seen any damage by the baseboard mounted ones. The hinge mounted ones without any exterior parts look like a good solution. Kate, let us know how it works. |
I wish I had known about those doorsavers before!!! Ingenious! Anyways, we use magnetic half moons drilled into both wood floors and terrazzo floors. We like them a lot as they hold our doors open when we want them to. |
Bumping this up in the hopes that Kate (or someone else?) has tried those bumperless stops. Our builder tried them (but a different brand I think) on our 8' doors and said he thought the doors were too heavy and they would damage the hinge. I'm wondering if we move it to the middle of the door or use two if that would help? Anybody use these yet? |
When we moved into the house with our 3 oldest boys, I immediately became aware that I would need some kind of doorstop for our doors. I didn't want anything drilled into our walls. Since the floor is concrete, we couldn't attach something there. On our hunt at our local home improvement store, we found some plastic door knob stops that are glued onto the wall and are paintable. We haven't had any kind of damage to the walls where we put them. We forgot about the one in the garage(it's fully finished). There was a hole from the doorknob going through the drywall. My husband bought the bigger plastic wall protector and put it over the hole and it's still there with no notion that there is a hole there. It's still working after almost 4 years of living here. BTW, our walls are coated with the orange peel texture. The door stops haven't so much as moved or came unglued even in our high humidity climate. The plus is that no one even notices that they are there. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Door stops we use
Jhwu--can you tell us a little more about your door stops? Brand, pics, etc. |
aargh, my response disappeared, lets's try this again. We did order the Door Saver II door stops. They work well, but my husband ran into two issues. The first is that you may not be able to adjust them the way you were hoping to. If you look at the picture I posted above, you can see how the top part fits on the bottom part. In order to do this, the zig zags have to line up. You may find that in one position the door still hits the wall, but when you move to the next position the door does not open as far as you hoped it would. This is mainly a problem if the wall next to the hinges is small and you find you cannot adjust it such that the door opens a full 90 degrees. The second problem has to do with the distance between the hinges and the door frame. You may find that the top piece will not slide over the bottom piece because it hits the door frame. My husband solved this problem by chiseling a piece out of the door frame. So, the product works, but I would suggest you first watch the video at their website so you understand how these work. You might also want to order just one and try it out in your situation before ordering a number of them. |
My husband did install them on the middle hinge. Our doors are 6'8" though. |

Pearl Jam Go Quadrophenic
Pearl Jam have recorded a cover version of The Who's Quadrophenia rock-opera closing song "Love, Reign O'er Me" for a new movie soundtrack.
The Seattle rock band fronted by Eddie Vedder have recorded the song especially for forthcoming movie "Reign Over Me", starring Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle and also featuring appearances by Liv Tyler and Donald Sutherland.
The song, originally written by Pete Townshend for their rock-opera in 1979, concerns the character of Jimmy, who whilst having a personal crisis, steals a boat to go to a small island.
The Pearl Jam version of the song is available for download through iTunes.

Seeking a Trade Rule Enforcer
8:38 am in Uncategorized by Leo W. Gerard
America is being played.
The U.S. allowed China to join the club of trading partners in the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 under the condition that China observe club rules.
Over the past decade, however, China has profited immeasurably by ignoring, flouting and circumventing the rules barring market-distorting practices. Among the most destructive of these violations is China's deliberate undervaluing of its currency, which makes Chinese exports to the United States artificially cheap and U.S. exports to China artificially expensive.
This nurtures Chinese industry and poisons American manufacturing.
In the trade contest with China, the referees have been absent or silent or completely craven on the issue of currency undervaluation, even as it kills U.S. factories and jobs. American workers need a trade rule enforcer. With unemployment above 9 percent, the situation is desperate. American workers can't be played anymore.
Just last week, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a non-partisan think tank, issued a report showing that the trade deficit with China cost the United States 2.8 million jobs since the WTO allowed China into the trading club. Every congressional district in the U.S. lost jobs as Chinese exports to the United States overwhelmed U.S. exports to China.
The trade deficit is the difference between the value of Chinese exports to the United States and U.S. exports to China. It was $84 billion the year China entered the WTO. Last year it grew to $278 billion – a 230 percent increase. Read the rest of this entry →

Yeah, I only know Mupen64. What are the issues you are having?

well, whenever I do something, such as configure plugins or run a game, it will close when I do something afterwards. For example, I'll run super smash bros, close it, select a different game, and it will close out. It's really annoying just to have to deal with. Also, the sound stinks, but I don't think that's because it's buggy. I imagine it's just the plugins.

Popular movies, TV, and music are laden with references to drugs and alcohol, sending an unintended message to teens that substance use is exotic and prevalent. In reality, just one in ten adolescents use illicit drugs and 17% are binge drinkers, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Intervention is critical for giving curious young minds a reality check, but research clearly shows that telling kids to "just say no" is not enough. To address this problem, Brain Institute members created a scientifically based program, The Brain, Drugs and Addiction. The program was presented in October to 4th – 8th graders at the Madeline Choir School during Red Ribbon Week, a nationwide drug prevention campaign.
Brogan teaches the dangers of prescription drugs |
University of Utah participants included program organizer and Brain Institute associate director, Amy Davis, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology and toxicology, Kristin Keefe, Ph.D., psychiatry instructor, Erin McGlade, Ph.D., and associate professor of anesthesiology, Shane Brogan, MB BCh.
Brogan, whose 6th grade daughter attends MCS, noticed that most drug programs don't address prescription drug abuse, which causes more deaths than illegal street drugs. His role in the program was to raise awareness of the dangers of using prescription drugs incorrectly. "Because of my professional interest as a pain doc, I felt I had something to contribute," he explained.
The program began with a presentation about the pharmacological mechanisms of addiction, and how common drugs of abuse affect the developing adolescent brain. "During adolescence especially, a key developmental task is to figure out who you are as an individual and in a group, which for some includes experimenting with alcohol and drugs," said McGlade. "My goal was to give the students a scientific perspective from which to make choices rather than, 'Because I said so.'"
Fatal Vision goggles simulate vision impairment
experienced with high blood alcohol levels |
The rest of the day was filled with hands-on activities, including the chance to touch a real human brain, an interactive video game simulating the effects of drugs, and a facilitated discussion about strategies to lead drug-free lives.
Arguably the students' favorite activity was trying on Fatal Vision Goggles (the goggles and other neuroscience teaching tools are available through the Brain Institute Lending Library), which simulates vision impairment at four different blood alcohol content levels. The kids could barely contain their laughter as they lost their balance while attempting to walk in a straight line, or completely missed a partner's hands while playing patty cake.
"I think it [the program] was a great way to get the conversation going. The kids were excited to talk to us about it and ask more questions," said presenter and parent Celine Poppe. "At our house that night at dinner, it dominated the conversation."

What creepier way is there to try and pick up high school girls then behind the wheel of this 1979 Dodge Ram van with custom Star Wars graphics?
YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. If you do a Google image search for Star Wars Van this comes up on the front page. (woops, I just checked again and it turns up on the SECOND page.) Graphics were professionally designed and installed. Detail is excellent and there is absolutely NO FADING! This van started out as a lovingly cared for custom van. When I got it the headers, flares, front spoiler, and dash tach were still there. I am only the third owner. It had a custom interior at one time but much of it had been removed and the van had sat for a while. It came with lots of spares and ran great. It was the perfect blank slate…….. THe force was with us.
Good Lord that sounds like the deal of the century. No bids on eBay with a starting price of $9000? I'm shocked. Check out more pics after the break.

November 29, 2009
By Dave Alexander
Muskegon Chronicle
A hoop house is being assembled at the McLaughlin Grows Urban Farm which will help extend the growing season. The half-acre farm is located behind the Goodwill Industries of West Michigan"s corporate headquarters. The hoop house will extend the growing season at McLaughlin Grows Urban Farm.Community enCompass is taking the concept of the urban garden to the next level. Officials call it urban farming.
Playing off the successful half-acre garden plot that grew last summer on a vacant lot owned by Goodwill Industries, the Christian community development organization in Muskegon's McLaughlin Neighborhood has created the McLaughlin Grows Urban Farm at Iona and Sophia streets.
With the help of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County and its Richard and Marilyn Witham Fund, the urban farm is adding "hoop houses" to extend the growing season year-round. The idea is to create business opportunities during economonically tough times.
McLaughlin Grows is a for-profit, micro-enterprise venture designed to produce locally grown, healthy food; energize the neighborhood; and provide potential employment opportunities. The foundation funding — more than $50,000 — has given McLaughlin Grows coordianator Teri VanHall three years to make the urban farm a viable, self-sustaining operation.
"Urban agriculture initiatives are springing up across the United States," Community enCompass Director Sarah Rinsema-Sybenga said. "It is exciting to see Muskegon on the cutting edge of this trend."
Teri VanHall, program coordinator for McLaughlin Grows Urban Farm, left, Tom Pastoor, president of McLaughlin Neighborhood Association and board member of Community enCompass, center, along with help from a You Turn student, work on affixing the metal supports for a hoop house that is being assembled behind the Goodwill Industries of West Michigan"s corporate headquarters. The hoop house will extend the growing season at McLaughlin Grows Urban Farm. (You Turn students cannot be identified by name nor can you show faces.) Date shot: 11/18/09Community enCompass and Goodwill have an agreement for the use of the vacant lot. The McLaughlin Grows initial farm garden began in May with plantings of greens, tomatoes, peppers, okra, cabbage, squash and other crops.
The business used neighborhood youth workers through the Muskegon County Department of Employment and Training to keep the garden going throughout the summer along with providing volunteer opportunities for local residents.
The vegetable harvest off an initial 2,400-square-foot plot was sold on site, through a stand at the Muskegon Farmer's Market and to the nearby Mia & Grace restaurant, which practices "farm-to-table" food sourcing.
The estimated future revenues for the urban farm are annually about $12,500 per hoophouse and another $12,500 from the outdoor garden, VanHall said.
McLaughlin Grows is practicing organic farming, said VanHall, who was trained in the agriculture processes through Michigan State University. The urban lot was a good producer, she said.
"I was amazed at the amount of glass we were picking out of the soil all summer," VanHall said. "But even with the sandy soil, we had a real good harvest."
With the garden done for the year, the "hoop house" project is under way. Plans are for two 96- by 30-foot passive solar growing shelters. The first $16,000 unit from a manufacturer in New Hampshire already is in place. It will have electric fans for an efficient growing operation.
The hoop house is made of a metal frame covered with clear plastic sheeting. VanHall said that greens and root crops will be able to grow throughout the winter and seedlings for the next growing season can get an early start in shelter.
Dick Witham has a passion for helping create economic opportunities in Muskegon's urban neighborhoods. He is a retired industrialist who is the former owner and president of the Michigan Spring Co.
"I'm 71 years old and I want to use my skills to create an environment where people grow and prosper," Witham said about his community foundation fund's support of McLaughlin Grows.
"I was encouraged to leave Muskegon when I sold my company, but I was born and raised here and I care about seeing this county thrive and prosper," he said. "This is better than any business that I've every been involved in — it's exciting."
Turning the McLaughlin Grows into a sustainable business will be a challenge, VanHall said. The micro-business will need a successful marketing plan and might need subsidized labor to make it profitable, she said.
Outside of the employment and profits that could be generated off the urban farm, Tom Pastoor said the initial Community enCompass already is transforming the neighborhood. Pastoor is president of the McLaughlin Neighborhood Association and a Community enCompass board member.
"The neighborhood is abuzz with the fact that something is happening," Pastoor said of an urban area in Muskegon that has been hit hard by the economic downturn. "People are engaging. Maybe it's not cool any longer to sit back and watch.
"Even in these dire economic times, this absolutely brings a sense of hope," he said of a neighborhood in which he has lived for 30 years.
VanHall hopes to spread the farm activities of McLaughlin Grows to other urban areas of Muskegon where vacant land awaits. Urban argiculture is taking hold in cities such as Flint and Detroit as well as Muskegon, she said.
"It's about people reclaiming their neighborhoods and producing fresh, healthy food," VanHall said. "Hopefully, this will be a model for other lots."

How many whacks to the head does it take? The U.S. seafood industry has suffered long enough under the less than watchful eye of the Food and Drug Administration. If you sell fish, call up your congressman and demand that it be under the control of the Department of Agriculture, just like it's done in almost every other country in the world. Clearly, the FDA is not up to the job.
The latest evidence that the FDA is the seafood industry's worst enemy came to light in July, during the brouhaha over the FDA's import alert over the use of banned antibiotics by Chinese fish farmers [see Newsline story, page 8]. It was a story the media immediately jumped all over.
On Sunday, July 15, more than half of The New York Times Op-Ed section was devoted to piscine punditry. And what tasty morsels did the paper's readers digest? They learned that sushi bars serve imported tuna that has "tasteless red flesh that has often been frozen for months and treated with chemicals to preserve its color." In another NYT piece, "Catfish with a Side of Scombroid," readers were told that "if you're a shady seafood dealer trying to unload a container of dodgy shrimp or tilapia, chances are 98 in 100 it will make it into the United States."
Confidence in the FDA's ability to ensure the safety of the nation's seafood supply took yet another hit when a House subcommittee ordered beleaguered FDA officials to Capitol Hill in late July. The congressmen wanted to know why the FDA's decision to close seven out of its 13 testing labs would make the FDA's inspection program more effective. At the same hearing, representatives heard from an oversight agency that the FDA's inspection effort was woefully inadequate. That's not surprising since the number of FDA inspectors has decreased at the same time imports have soared.
The bad news about tainted seafood and the FDA's inability to adequately inspect seafood imports is not going to go away any time soon. Countries like China have shown they have a very hard time controlling their fragmented seafood industries. Chinese authorities, for example, conceded that the tainted imports that triggered the FDA import alert were from plants that were not even registered with health authorities. And who really thinks the FDA will suddenly get the resources needed to do a credible job?
USDA, on the other hand, does a much better job of inspecting imports. An estimated 16 percent of the U.S. meat imports is inspected, compared to less than 1 percent of seafood. The USDA is also more efficient; the agency limits imports to just 10 ports, while the FDA has inspectors spread out at 90 ports. While inspection of seafood by USDA is no guarantee that consumer confidence will be quickly restored, it's clear the agency has more resources and clout with Congress. Consider, for example, that COOL labeling applies only to seafood, not to meat and poultry.
As long as the FDA is in charge of seafood inspection, the seafood industry will continue to take hits from the media, consumer confidence will suffer and sales will be slower than they should. There is a better way and the letters are USDA.

Want Some Trendy Wedding Gift Ideas For Trendy Couples?
Many people in the world today take pride in being trendy. They have the most up-to-date wardrobe that changes every season. They also have clothes from designer labels that are the hot favorite of the season. All their accessories, including shoes, bags, wallets and jewelry are amongst the most fashionable items of the season. They visit trendy restaurants and clubs. They have memberships in trendy health and fitness clubs and even their gym or sports clothes are amongst the trendiest. Thinking up wedding gift ideas for trendy couples can be easy and difficult at the same time. Here's why-
If you buy something that is highly fashionable and trendy at the moment, chances are that those items would be outdated by the next season. If you choose to buy something that goes beyond today's fashion trends, then your gift may not be considered trendy enough and may end up being relegated to the back of the cupboard. So, how do you come up with wedding gift ideas that will make the best impression on a trendy couple?
One of the best wedding gift suggestions for a trendy couple is a gift voucher from a trendy and fashionable store. You can chose between a clothes store, shoe store, accessories store or even a health store. On the other hand, you can give them a gift voucher of a trendy up-market store that houses a large selection of a number of designer items. This way, the couple can shop for any item they want and you don't have to guess what they may like or not.
Another wedding gift suggestion for the trendy couple is to gift them something that is timeless. A beautiful vintage or classic item would do the trick. Strange as it may sound, vintage items are always considered trendy. For that matter, even rare items are considered trendy at all times. So, if you can get your hands on anything that is considered to be rare or precious, it would make the perfect wedding gift for a trendy couple.
The next best suggestion for a unique wedding gift for a trendy couple is highly personalized items. Any item takes on a different meaning and significance, once it is personalized. Similarly, it does not go out of fashion as quickly as other items. So, for instance, if the couple in question loves their alcohol, you could give them a set of bar crystals i.e. martini glasses, champagne flutes, margarita glasses, etc. with their names and wedding date etched into it. This would make a very unique wedding gift for the couple and they are likely to display and cherish the bar ware for a long time to come.
Finally, one of the best wedding gifts you can give a trendy couple is a gift you make yourself. You could write a poem, paint a portrait, make a blown glass souvenir, stitch up a quilt or any make any other item yourself. Your personal skill will make it unique and your creativity will make it trendy.

First, thanks for perusing my question. I have an old Toshiba C35 CRT tv that is about 14 years old (guessing) and now, sometimes it comes on and works great, other times, mostly, it has no picture and there's static from the speakers... sort of a popping noise more than static sounds. Any ideas what could be happening. I know it's old, but last night, watching it (one of the times it works).. it had such a great picture, I would love to keep it if possible. Thanks for any help !!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
As a follow up to my question, came home the other night, turned it out and it came on with a great picture. Well, at least it worked for that night.... now, can't get it to do anything except sound....no picture what so ever. When you cut it off, it does have a spot of light in the middle (little flash) and that's it. |

Nintendo 3DS (2011)
Ninty's latest handheld boasts a fancy autostereoscopic screen which enables gamers to play titles with a customisable glasses-free 3D effect. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been re-mastered in 3D specifically for the 3DS – the only reason you need to get your mitts on one.
Sony PlayStation 2 (2000)
The PS2 still holds the title as the best selling console of all time. With an absolutely colossal catalogue of games and AAA hits such as Grand Theft Auto 3 and Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, not to mention its DVD playback capability, this console has more than earned its place at the top of the pile.
More after the break...
Atari Jaguar (1994)
Although the Jaguar had more power than it's Mega Drive and SNES rivals, it was a commercial flop having sold less than 500,000 units. Nonetheless, it still has a dedicated group of fans that produce homebrew games for it, although our favourite title still has to be Doom.
Xbox 360 (2005)
Having launched before both Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft's second expedition into the console arena enjoyed a successful reign, albeit one plagued with red rings of death. Exclusives like Gears of War 2 and Halo: Reach have ensured that the 360 has held it's own against its rival the PS3.
Atari Lynx (1989)
The first handheld console with a colour LCD screen, Atari's Lynx catered for both lefties and righties as it could be flipped upside down to use the D-pad with either thumb. It also featured a ComLynx system letting up to 18 players hook up, though all 17 of your mates probably had Game Boys.

Hammond police develop suspect leads in excavated human remains
By Mark Taylor Post-Tribune correspondent October 11, 2011 3:00PM
Hammond police Capt. Ezequiel Hinjosa rakes through dirt Tuesday Oct. 11, 2011, where human remains were found last week at the site of a razed abandoned building in north Hammond, Ind. | Charles Mitchell~For Sun-Times Media
Missing People and Unidentified Human Remains
Almost 800,000 children under age 18 are reported missing annually, an average of 2,185 reported missing every day.
The unidentified remains of 4,400 people are found every year in the United States and more than 1,000 of those remain unidentified after one year.
There may be up to 40,000 human remains that are unidentified currently throughout the United States.
U.S. law enforcement authorities investigate as many as 100,000 active missing persons cases at a given time.

Hammond police have an idea who might be responsible for the human remains found last week in the rubble of a razed building, Chief Brian Miller said Tuesday.
"We're looking at people who that person (the potential suspect) might have known who have gone missing," said Miller, who declined to identify the person of interest. "At least now we have a clue."
"We spoke to local people who knew the business and those that hung around there," Miller told the Post-Tribune, referring to Great Lakes Bait and Tackle, 1718 Indianapolis Blvd. "That's about all I can safely say."
A team of Hammond police investigators on Tuesday searched the site again and found what they believe are the remaining bones.
"It was a good day," Miller said. "We also think we found where the body was originally placed in a crawl space."
Tuesday's excavation was less scientific, though no less systematic, than the one led by forensic anthropologist Stephen Nawrocki of the University of Indianapolis on Oct. 7.
That search was triggered when a dog on Oct. 5 retrieved a human finger wearing a ring from the site in Hammond's Robertsdale neighborhood. Minutes later the dog uncovered a human skull. The dog's owners then called police.
Hammond Police Capt. Ezequiel Hinojosa, who is leading the investigation, said while Nawrocki believes that enough bones were recovered last week to make some conclusive findings, police wanted to go back for more.
Hammond police officers, including some top brass, used hoes and shovels to sift through the rubble, going several feet deeper than Nawrocki's team did.
The backhoe operator manipulated the scooper almost surgically to dip gently into the rubble along a defined track. Once that area was scoured, the backhoe operator and police excavated the second half of the building site, dumping debris on the previously searched area.
Hinojosa said police didn't expect to find the remains of more than the person found to date, but must eliminate that possibility.
"We're going deeper to the undisturbed ground area to reassure ourselves that we've recovered everything possible from this site," he said.
Hinojosa said his crew of detectives Lt. Tom Fulk and Sgt. Ken Stump and Hammond Crime Scene Unit Sgts. Jeff Rob Vaught and Allan Retske occasionally bagged evidence to send to Nawrocki's lab.
Miller, who also worked the site Tuesday, last week said investigators suspect the bones belong to a female because of the feminine style and size of the ring and the size of the finger found.
Miller said from Nawrocki's lab analysis police hope to learn the approximate age and gender of the person, as well as when and how that person died.
Nawrocki is expected to issue early results from the analysis within one month.

Ed Lauter, a great character actor who was loved by critics and fans alike, has died. He was 74.
Whether seen in film or TV, Lauter's body of work was a vast array of genres and roles, from "Cujo." "My Blue Heaven," "Mulholland Falls," "Leaving Las Vegas," "The Artist" and "Trouble With the Curve," he always delivered a great performance.
Mr. Lauter died at his home in West Hollywood of mesothelioma on Wednesday, according to the LA Times.One of our favorite moments in Mr. Lauter's career was from the 1974 prison picture "The Longest Yard" starring Burt Reynolds as a football player in jail. Mr. Lauter was cast as the sadistic Captain Knauer. He beats Reynolds' character with a club before the big game.
The actor will last be seen in the 2014 release "The Town That Dreaded Sundown."
The smallscreen saw Lauter in a recurring role on "ER" as Fire Captain Dannaker, and he was one of the stars of the 1991 Stephen King miniseries "Golden Years," in which he played Gen. Louis Crewes.

Our beautiful weather finally turned a bit and some rain came in this weekend. Regardless, fishing is still going strong. Chinook runs are coming in now and Coho fishing is just as good as it was before. Halibut fishing is unusually strong for this time of the season, but that won't get any of the fishermen complaining!
The weather should turn into real summer weather soon enough. If you haven't booked your trip, you're still in time to catch some of this awesome west coast fishing on Vancouver Island's coast.

Wound Care Center at Harrington Hosts Diabetic Education Open House
CHARLTON, Mass., November 8, 2013 - The Wound Care Center at Harrington is hosting a free Diabetic Education Open House on Thursday, November 21, at the Wound Care Center, 10 North Main Street in Charlton, to help educate the public about diabetes, its symptoms and how to manage the chronic disease.
The Open House, held from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., will offer information about proper nutrition, foot care, diabetes and vision, general education on diabetes, and how to treat hard-to-heal wounds.
In addition, Harrington's Nutrition Department will offer light, nutritious refreshments and dietary tips. Those in attendance can also receive a free glucose screening.
The event is being held to help commemorate National Diabetes Month, which runs through the end of November.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires medical attention. The patient must also manage the disease, said Lynn Boucher, Director of the Wound Care Center at Harrington, which is housed at Harrington HealthCare at Charlton, conveniently located on Route 20, across from the CVS.
Some diabetes facts: Two-thirds of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nerve damage. One in four people with diabetes develop foot complications. And diabetics are 10 times more likely to have a limb amputated than non-diabetics.
Harrington's Open House will be staffed by the nurses, clinicians and physicians at the Wound Care Center at Harrington.
