Brian G. Clarke
BSPA'83, Personnel Administration and Labor Relations
Although Brian G. Clarke was not born a Hoosier, he was raised one. Growing up in Columbus, Indiana, Clarke was exposed early on to Indiana University. His father bought the family season football tickets in the fall of 1968 – the same year IU went to the Rose Bowl – and his older brother attended IU; there was no question that Clarke would follow.
A 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient, today Clarke runs a business of people, as a founding member and managing partner of Kensington International, an executive search, outplacement, and leadership development firm. He started the business in 1989 with three other partners, one of whom he met while attending graduate school at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. His success in this endeavor led BusinessWeek.com to include him on its list of "The World's Most Influential Headhunters."
Among the organizations Clarke serves as a board member are the Job Search Television Network, Agilium World-wide/ World Search Group, and the Chicago Theological Seminary.
Clarke pursued a career in human resources and labor relations because he saw himself as "a people person as much as anything." He has held positions at Quaker Oats, first as a supervisor of labor relations, then as director of corporate training and recruitment, and at First National Bank of Chicago, where, within a year of joining the bank as a human resources professional, he was presented with the opportunity to serve in a line/operation's position that ultimately resulted in his serving as the vice president of the bank's Global Industries Division within its Service Products Group.
At IU, Clarke took advantage of opportunities to hone his leadership skills in his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, and in the Indiana University Student Association (IUSA). These experiences built his confidence in leadership roles and his ability to articulate his positions on a variety of issues. His run in campus politics took him all the way to student body president in 1977–1978.
Between his involvement in IUSA and his course work in SPEA, Clarke says he "developed an overall desire to be aware of what's going on in the world and in our communities," which prompted him "to keep a finger on the pulse of politics, which is in large part what SPEA brought to the table for me."
Over the years, Clarke has developed a sophisticated skillset for quickly and accurately selecting and assessing talent for his client companies, the foundation of which was laid at IU. "All the things I did at school in terms of interfacing with other students and groups positioned me to be comfortable at being out front, consulting, selling, and influencing others."
Bernard R. Toon
MPA'81, Public Finance
Bernie Toon's first brush with politics came at an early age in his small hometown of Medora, Indiana. It was there he first met Representative Lee Hamilton at a local town hall meeting. Toon was intrigued by the issues Hamilton was passionate about and the work he was doing in government. When he decided to commit to studying public policy after two years as a theatre major, he transferred to Indiana University. "IU had a world class poli-sci program and my mother was a 1937 graduate of the business school, so the move fit perfectly."
A 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient, Toon is a founding partner of The FIRST Group, a bipartisan strategic planning, communications, and government relations firm. Toon's work is about helping people solve problems, about "bringing your expertise to the table in order to get your head around their challenge, and help them find a path to dealing with it – that's rewarding."
Toon's career working on Capitol Hill in both the public and private sectors spans more than 30 years. He has served as chief of staff to U.S. Senators Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), Joe Biden (D-Del.), and Bill Bradley (D-N.J.), and to U.S. Congressman Tim Roemer (D-Ind.). He worked as a staff member on the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), and for Hamilton on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He also took time off from the public payroll to manage political campaigns in Indiana and New Mexico for the U.S. Congress, U.S. Senate, and governor.
After earning a B.A. in political science from IU, Toon pursued an MPA in public finance. One of his most valuable lessons came during a conversation with SPEA Professor Jerry McCaffery. Struggling with whether to take a policy or budget track at SPEA, McCaffery opened up a new perspective for Toon when he said, "Bernie, I have news for you, budgets ARE policy." Toon realized that how public money is spent reveals and reflects officeholders' priorities, and he was able apply this new awareness as a Presidential Management Intern at the Pentagon and subsequent jobs in Washington.
The skills Toon developed at IU – the ability to speak well, write clearly and succinctly, work hard, and anticipate the needs of policy makers – carried on to his professional life. "I think the greatest gift that IU gave me was that it made me a well-rounded person. I took a number of courses in very diverse disciplines; IU made me appreciate not just diversity in people but diversity in issues – preparing me for work in both the public sector and the political arena."
Toon has always had one mandate for his career: "Always have fun in your work. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Georgia is ready to join NATO but Russia's position prevents the alliance
from accepting the South Caucasus country, the Georgian foreign minister
said Monday.
"Georgia is ready to join NATO. All required criteria are observed,"
Grigol Vashadze, on a visit to Italy, told the ANSA news agency after
talks with his Italian counterpart Franco Frattini.
"We know the true reason why we are not inside NATO yet. Because some
founding countries do not want to irritate Moscow," he said.
Georgia has long been striving for NATO membership but its bid was turned
down due to pressure from Germany and France at a 2008 NATO summit in
Bucharest. However, NATO said the country could join it at an unspecified
date in the future.
"If Georgia joined the alliance, Russia would have to recognize its
independence and territorial integrity," Vashadze said.
Abkhazia and South Ossetia broke away from Georgia in armed conflicts in
the early 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia recognized
Georgia's former republics in August 2008 after repelling Georgia's
assault on South Ossetia in a five-day war.
The West has called on Russia to reverse its decision. Nicaragua,
Venezuela and Nauru have followed Russia's example.

The recent weather may make it feel like football season, and the scoreboards on the state's softball fields make it seem that way, too.
13-10. 11-10. 27-0. 19-0. 25-2.
Look through a scores list these days and you're more than likely to come across numbers like those. And, yes, those are actual scores this year. Rare are the days of 2-1 games.
As a pitcher for Hardin who graduated in 2006, Sarah DeVore remembers those days. But they seem long ago to her, now in her second season as the Billings Skyview coach.
"I think everyone's just kind of used to it being a big-hitting game now," DeVore said earlier this week before her team departed for Great Falls for a doubleheader against the Bison, Class AA's defending state champion. "It's a prop to the pitchers if they keep it under five runs anymore."
Even if players and coaches are used to it, it's been eye-popping what's been going on the past two seasons. On its way to a second-place finish at state last year, Billings West clubbed 47 home runs, and the Golden Bears are back to their prodigious-power ways this year. They knocked five homers in a win over Billings Senior on Tuesday.
But the Bears aren't the only team regularly putting up double-digit runs, and coaches can point to at least a couple reasons why offense has all but taken over the game.
Three years ago, the high school pitching rubber was moved back three feet —from 40 to 43 feet from home plate — to equate the prep game with the college game. The thinking was to protect pitchers from comebackers, and several coaches felt the additional distance would actually give pitchers, especially those with a lot of ball movement, an advantage.
It hasn't really worked out that way. Count Laurel coach Greg Branstetter as one of those coaches who's surprised at how things have transpired.
"I kind of thought it wouldn't make a difference at all, but it amazes me the difference it's made," said Branstetter, who is in his 17th season at Laurel. "I never dreamed it would make any difference. I was totally wrong. You never used to see this many home runs."
DeVore, too, says the extra pitching distance has had an impact, adding that the younger pitchers who haven't fully developed their games are especially hindered. DeVore points to another reason for the added offense: Hitters are simply better and now put more time into their game with offseason programs.
"I think that generally girls have just gotten stronger," she said. "Bat technology has always been good, but if you look at all teams, it's just fit girls. A lot of girls have gotten stronger and a lot of new techniques in the weight room have made a huge difference."
For those wishing a return to the pitching-duel days, the remedies for the high-voltage games are few. Returning the pitching rubber to 40 feet is unlikely, as is each school moving its outfield fences back 10 feet or so. (Most schools don't have the field space to do that, and, of course, cost is always an issue).
While some might long — no pun intended — for the low-scoring days of yore, well, the genie has been let out of the bottle. And it might never get back in.
"It was a pitching game when I was in high school," DeVore said. "It was always a pitching battle, not an offensive battle. It's totally opposite now.
"Until you can get pitchers that can phenomenally move the ball, each team will have multiple home-run games each season. I just think that's the way it is."

text: From Kimber manual for full-size 1911: "Before firing the pistol for the first time, Field Strip and clean the firearm following proper procedures.(see DISASSEMBLY, CLEANING and LUBRICATION and ASSEMBLY Instructions in this Manual) Kimbers firearms are quality custom pieces. Our firearms are hand fitted to tight tolerances. For proper Break-in of the firearm shoot 400-500 rounds of Quality Factory Ball (230g. FMJ) Ammunition, cleaning and lubricating the gun every 100-150 rounds." I recall having experienced quite a few feeding and extraction issues with mine during this stage, but they've been flawless since. So I kind of figured that Kimber knew what they were talking about. They were really very tight out of the box though, so the break-in period may be a reflection of factory tolerances.

Chelsea's boss Jose Mourinho has said that there is nothing new in his counterpart Arsene Wenger's criticism of Juan Mata's proposed move from Chelsea to Manchester United, as the Arsenal boss always complains.
Wenger had said Mata's 37 million pound move raises questions about the fairness of the January transfer window.
Chelsea lie two points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal and have played United twice, while United still have to face Arsenal and Manchester City.
Mourinho said normally he should be very happy that Chelsea sold a player like Juan Mata, but this is also a little bit his nature, The BBC reports.
Mata is expected to complete his move in the coming days, joining a United side that are 14 points adrift of Arsenal. (ANI)

This week, the Journal of Commerce covered CTA's open letter to the ocean carrier and intermodal equipment provider community regarding waiver of per diem, demurrage and other associated charges.
"The myriad of problems have also spawned claims and counter-claims concerning charges for the late return of containers and chassis, known as demurrage and per diem fees. "In times of peak congestion like we are currently experiencing, both customers and motor carriers end up being charged for conditions which are out of their control," the California Trucking Association stated in an open letter Oct. 23 to ocean carriers and intermodal equipment providers.
"It is for this reason that California Business and Professions Code makes certain charges unlawful," CTA stated. The statewide trucking association recommended an extension of free time for demurrage, per diem and detention charges."

AASHTO Journal
House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) told Arkansas officials that he wants to craft a new highway and transit authorization bill that would run five or six years.
He made the remarks, reports John Lovett of the Times-Record newspaper in Fort Smith, while visiting the Western Arkansas Regional Intermodal Transportation Authority with Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.), a member of the Appropriations Committee.
"We have challenges in Washington trying to figure out the funding streams to make sure the Highway Trust Fund is solvent," Shuster told the group. "It's my goal to pass a bill that is five to six years long," he said, adding a bill that long would give local authorities the "kind of certainty" they need to plan infrastructure projects.
The lawmaker has toured transportation facilities in various states, gathering information on infrastructure needs as his committee works on a wide range of issues involving waterway, air and rail legislation as well as a highway/transit bill. He toured Oklahoma's Port of Muskogee following his Arkansas stop.
Shuster noted that the current "patch" Congress passed in July carries those surface transportation programs to the end of May.
To get a long-term bill, he said lawmakers need to agree on the revenue options they would use to shore up the trust fund, and those funding choices would determine whether the next highway/transit bill covers five or six years of spending.
"We've got to figure out the funding," said Shuster. "There are a number of different options on the table" for the Highway Trust fund, he said, "and it's probably going to be a combination of them all."
Shuster's remarks also come as House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is saying Congress and President Obama could find common ground to pass legislation on tax reform and a majoy highway bill. And House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who could head the revenue focused Ways and Means Committee in the next Congress, has been discussing ways to pair tax rate cuts with infrastructure funding.

The Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI), which is based on the amount of freight carried by the for-hire transportation industry, rose 0.6 percent in August from July, rising for the second consecutive month, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics' (BTS). The August 2014 index level (120.9) was 27.8 percent above the April 2009 low during the most recent recession.
The level of freight shipments in August measured by the Freight TSI (120.9) reached its all-time high. BTS' TSI records begin in 2000.
The July index was revised to 120.1 from 119.6 in last month's release. Monthly numbers for February through June were revised up slightly.
The Freight TSI measures the month-to-month changes in freight shipments by mode of transportation in tons and ton-miles, which are combined into one index. The index measures the output of the for-hire freight transportation industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland waterways, pipelines and air freight.
Analysis: The increase in freight in August was driven by continued gains in trucking and water, and by pipelines, which rebounded from a July decline. Rail and air gave back some July gains. The rise in freight took place despite a decline in industrial production, but accompanied growth in personal income and in inventories of manufactured goods. Overall employment grew, as did transportation employment, although more slowly.
Trend: August was the third month in which the Freight TSI exceeded the levels that had been attained prior to the weather-related downturn in the early part of the year to reach its highest level ever. The increase in the index continues the return to growth after the decline in June. After dipping to 94.6 in April 2009, the index rose by 27.8 percent in the succeeding 64 months.
See Freight TSI Press Release for summary tables and additional data. See Transportation Services Index for historical data and methodology.

At the March 2012 Executive & Policy Committee Meetings in Sacramento, the Board of Directors for the California Trucking Association approved the staff recommended State Transportation Policy Guideline.
The Guideline serves not only as CTA official policy, but also as a building block in order for our association to advocate for the maintenance and upkeep our California's roadway facilities. California is facing a severe infrastructure crisis, and CTA stands ready to work with the public sector and other private sector advocates in order to ensure that California's goods movement system can continue to thrive.
According to the American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials, 2/3 of all California roads are rated either poor and mediocre. Without significant action to address this problem California's roads will continue to deteriorate at a rapid pace, costing taxpayers more and more with each passing year. CTA calls on all transportation policies to work together on funding our growing maintenance needs.
As a general policy statement, the Board of Directors approved the following:
The California Trucking Association supports fair and equitable transportation policies and funding decisions that are aimed at:
1. Making goods movement a significant priority in California;
2. Increasing efficiencies on our transportation infrastructure system in order to boost economic growth, limit congestion, and mitigate environmental concerns.
3. Improving safety related projects and programs;
4. Prioritizing first road rehabilitation and maintenance by identifying secured funding sources;
5. Supporting efforts to limit vehicle miles traveled for single occupant, private passenger vehicle trips;
6. Dedicating revenues generated by commercial motor vehicles to highway related purposes.

The planning agencies for eight Central California counties are currently developing a San Joaquin Valley Interregional Goods Movement Plan. The sponsoring agencies and the consultant team leading the effort are particularly concerned with maximizing opportunities for motor carriers to provide input into the process.
To facilitate stakeholder input, the consultant team has created a brief Survey Monkey questionnaire accessible on-line at: SJV Carrier Survey.
If you operate in the San Joaquin or Central Valley areas, CTA recommends that you take the time to fill out the survey and provide your input. The survey also offers opportunities to obtain further information regarding the Goods Movement Plan and to participate in the planning process.

Competition is a wonderful thing. Their longstanding rivalry has made the Chevy Camaro and the Ford Mustang viable alternatives to expensive imports. I am especially impressed by the Mustang GT's snappy shifter and overall character considering the relative simplicity of its underpinnings. While a live axle was once a serious liability, it lives a low-profile, barely noticeable existence here. The extra power that comes with Ford's new 5.0-liter V-8 definitely gives the Camaro SS a run for the money. I'd say that the Mustang is edging closer to perfection for its ilk with very few serious warts.
That said, allow me to pick three nits. The driver's left-foot/dead-pedal area is neither flat nor at an appropriate angle. The headrests are angled annoyingly close to front-seat occupants' heads. And the area where a driver would otherwise be inclined to rest a right elbow is fraught with pain-inducing edges and hard surfaces. I can hardly wait to drive a Camaro rising to this Mustang GT's challenge.

Rafa Benitez: Champions League road to Madrid starts here - Liverpool FC latest
RAFA BENITEZ has challenged his players to take Liverpool all the way to Madrid – but his first priority is ensuring a flying start to their Champions League campaign against Debrecen at Anfield tonight. Having seen the Reds' hopes dashed in the quarter-finals last season and in the semi-finals the year before, the manager is desperate to go further and lead the club to his third European Cup final. The fact that this season's showpiece is in his home city at the Bernabeu would make that extra special. "This is a massive competition for us and the players are really excited about the start of it," Benitez said. "The group stage will be tough and we must try to get all the points we need early so then we can manage things in a different way. "We were very close in the last few years and we all want to go to the final again this season. "We must approach every competition to win it - that has to be the way at a top side like Liverpool. "The order of priorities for most fans is probably the Premier League then the Champions League. "Me? I would like to win both. But for now we must just focus on winning some games in our group. "It's really important to start well in this competition, especially at home."

92-95 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Pale, bright yellow. Knockout nose combines lemon peel, stone fruits, white flowers, fresh herbs, licorice and menthol. Pure silk on entry, then bracing and intense in the middle palate, with terrific verve and cut to its citrus and floral flavors. This is almost painful in its sappiness. Finishes with explosive perfume and very firm structure for aging. Premier cru Chablis doesn't get much better than this." (ul/Aug 2008) 91-94 points Allen Meadows' Burghound: "A cool, reserved and sophisticated nose based on the mineral reduction that is so prevalent in classically styled Chablis along with citrus, oyster shell and algae notes, all of which continue onto the almost painfully intense flavors supported by a vibrant, firm and explosive finish that goes on and on. I really like the beautiful underlying tension that gives the finish a real sense of energy and the balance here is essentially perfect. One of the best 1ers of the vintage and highly recommended."

A couple of alleged burglars should be counting themselves very fortunate. Recently, two men, ages 23 and 25, illegally entered a home in Fayette County.

Another man, age 23, was also arrested as part of the scheme. Read More»

Under a new congressional district map passed today by a legislative committee, Fayette County won't have as much of a footprint in the 13th district currently held by Democrat U.S. Rep. David Scott.
State Rep. Matt Ramsey, R-Peachtree City, told The Citizen today that the latest map gives Scott's district about 15 percent of Fayette's population. In contrast, the first version of the map had put about 35 percent of Fayette County in the U.S. 13th district. Read More»

1992 Cadillac Seville Sedan 4dr Sedan
This (was) a pretty great car. I sold mine 2 years ago because it had 175k miles on it. It still ran but was near the end of its life. Even at the end, this car cruised along surface streets and highways a like, in a smooth, comfortable manner. I had problems with the thermostat and subsequent overheating problems. But other than that, there were never any serious problems. The V-8 could really get up and go, especially considering the weight of the car, and even got 25+ mpg on the highway. Very impressive. Handling past 90mph became worrisome as the car began to sway. But this car was never meant for out running cops, it was meant for cruising in comfort, and it did that very well.

1992 Cadillac Seville Sedan 4dr Sedan
My Seville is so nice and a pleasure to
drive. I am surprised the value of it is
so low. It would be impossible to find
a replacement without going to a Cadillac
DeVille, costing $40,000. I like my
car so much I wont get a new one. My wife
and I drive it on trips and it is
exceptionally comfortable, 27-28 mpg,
and looks good. The car only has 93,000
miles so I am prepared to proudly drive
it for many more years.

1992 Cadillac Seville Sedan 4dr Sedan
I've owned this car for 7 1/2 years.
It had 7k when we bought it and just
turned over 70k. For the most part,
it's been reliable. I love the power
and the ride, but I've had plenty of
minor problems that annoy me and add up
over time. Ignition problems, power
window & antenna problems, CD player
problems, an oil leak... Repairs for
these items ranged from $80-400 each
making none of them too major, but they
add up and diminish faith in GM &
Cadillac. Now I have an A/C problem
with a quote of $1100 to repair. That
may be the end of this relationship.

India's Congress keeps allies in mind in not naming Rahul as PM candidate
Published on Jan 17, 2014 4:18 PM
NEW DELHI - At a gathering of India's ruling Congress party on Friday, party workers chanted "Rahul for prime minister" as party president Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party vice-president Rahul Gandhi ascended to the stage.
The chanting continued, forcing Mr Gandhi to intervene and ask for calm so that the meeting could continue.
The clamour from party workers was in response to Mrs Gandhi's overnight decision to nip a proposal to officially name her 43-year-old son as the prime ministerial candidate for the general election due within five months.
But Mrs Gandhi did not relent.

Massachusetts Leaders Mark Opening of New Goodrich Facility in Westford
Lt. Governor Murray, Congresswoman Tsongas, state & local officials join company executives & employees to celebrate leading defense manufacturer's expansion, commitment to creating jobs in the Commonwealth
In June 2010, the Patrick-Murray Administration approved a $4 million Economic Development Incentive Program (EDIP) award to support Goodrich's growth in Massachusetts. In return, the company has committed to retaining 350 manufacturing jobs in Massachusetts, adding 200 jobs over the next three years and investing $76 million in private funds to renovate the Westford facility.
"Governor Patrick and I are excited to have Goodrich, a global leader in defense manufacturing, invested in staying and growing their business here in Massachusetts," said Lieutenant Governor Murray. "With our highly-skilled workforce and talent pipeline, world renowned education and research centers, and competitive business climate, the advantages of doing business in Westford and communities across the Commonwealth are clear. Today's grand opening at Goodrich is a great example of a company putting people to work now and in the years to come, and we look forward to their continued growth."
"I want to welcome Goodrich to Westford, a move that will keep hundreds of manufacturing and high-tech jobs in Massachusetts while creating the space for this company to add hundreds more," said Congresswoman Tsongas. "Goodrich develops the products and technology that keep our troops safe and nation protected, and I want to thank the Patrick-Murray Administration for investing in Goodrich and Goodrich for continuing to invest in the Fifth District."
"We are proud to welcome Lieutenant Governor Murray, Congresswoman Tsongas and Secretary Bialecki here today to open this new operation and learn more about our plans for this facility. Over the next three years, we expect to recruit an additional 200 specialist skilled personnel from across the state to work at this important new site, which will specialize in the development and manufacture of critical state of the art sensors for our growing intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) business," said Tom Bergeron, President of Goodrich's ISR Systems Business.
"The Economic Development Incentive Program is just one of the ways we are encouraging businesses to expand in Massachusetts," said Secretary of Housing & Economic Development Bialecki. "Combined with our record investments in innovation, education and infrastructure, this program is retaining and creating jobs and attracting private investment to every corner of the Commonwealth. We are pleased that Goodrich is committed to developing and producing their innovative products here in Westford." Since 2010, EDIP, the Commonwealth's tax incentive program for businesses, has approved 58 projects that will create a total of 3,905 jobs, retain 13,046 and attract $2.5 billion in private investment.
"The investment Goodrich has decided to make in Westford is one that will benefit not only the company, but the town, as well as the entire Commonwealth," said Senator Eileen Donoghue. "I am delighted that they have chosen to expand here and add much needed jobs."
"Taking action to keep a business in Massachusetts and to expand its facility in Westford is a credit to all of us who have worked on this endeavor. The relocation of Goodrich's specialist airborne systems facility to our area is part of our effort to bring about economic renewal and create jobs in the Commonwealth," said Representative James Arciero of Westford. "Instead of losing jobs and businesses to other states, Massachusetts, spearheaded by the leadership of Governor Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Murray, has made our state a more business-friendly environment. Supported by those of us serving in the Legislature, as well as members of our federal delegation, this united effort will result in hundreds of new high salary technology jobs in the area. "
Lieutenant Governor Murray and state and local officials joined company executives for a tour of the state-of-the-art facility before addressing company employees. The Lieutenant Governor, chair of the Governor's Advisory Council on Veterans' Services, also presented a $50,000 check from the Goodrich Foundation to Linda Perry from the Wounded Warriors Project, a consistent recipient of the company's support. These funds will allow the charity to provide programs and services for injured Massachusetts military personnel and their families.
"These donated monies will help wounded warriors in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with immediate needs for gas and groceries, provide them help to seek and attain gainful employment, offer healing for those suffering from PTSD, help them to reclaim their confidence and strength through adaptive sports and recreation, comfort family members with periods of respite and will fund local events that provide wounded warriors opportunities to get together and break the cycle of isolation and self-withdrawal," said Linda Perry, area outreach coordinator for Wounded Warriors.

Police: Cohoes man threatened ex-girlfriend with pellet gun
TROY -- A man who police say terrified his ex-girlfriend and her family was arraigned on Monday on eight felony counts.
Rashann Hunt, 35, was arrested on Sunday night after police say he threatened the family of his girlfriend of 12 years who had broken up with him. The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. on First Avenue in North Troy at the home of the woman's mother.
Police say hunt violated valid orders of protection by entering the home and displaying a pellet gun and knife and threatening suicide-by-cop. The girlfriend called 911 and police eventually caught up with Hunt trying to leave the building. He was arrested and charged with burglary, weapons possession, criminal contempt and child endangerment.

Kurt Warner will turn 34 in June. He's thrown 10 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions over the last three seasons.
He has less mobility than the Statue of Liberty, yet the Cardinals want to sign him to play quarterback behind an offensive line that's been to pass blocking what Barney Fife was to law enforcement.
As bad ideas go, that ranks up there with coach Dennis Green's benching of Josh McCown last season.
But it would give Las Vegas a new betting line: Over/under on number of Warner's broken bones.
The NFL's free agency period begins today, and it's clear the Cardinals will go after a veteran QB, whether it be Warner, Jeff Garcia or Brad Johnson.
What, Jeff Blake isn't available?
The Cardinals are something, aren't they? Over the past two years they've passed on Byron Leftwich, Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers in the draft.
Now they're so desperate for a quarterback they're pursuing thirtysomething retreads who couldn't hold on to their starting jobs with some of the worst teams in the league last season.
The party line from the Cardinals is that McCown is still the starter, and they're just looking for someone to compete for the job.
Green's history in Minnesota — he won with veterans Johnson, Randall Cunningham and Jeff George — and his lack of trust in McCown means whoever comes in likely will take the snaps when the regular season begins.
And that's the problem.
Arizona doesn't need another short-term fix at quarterback. It needs a long-term solution.
Playing a veteran may help tilt the win-loss column in the right direction this season — and even put the Cardinals at the front door of the playoffs — but Arizona won't take a step toward the Super Bowl until it stops patching its hole at quarterback with bubble gum.
If McCown is the quarterback of the future, he needs to play.
If he's not, well, who is?
Certainly not Warner. Or Garcia.
Arizona could have answered that question had it drafted either Leftwich or Roethlisberger. But bygones are bygones and what's important now is that the Cardinals don't repeat their past mistakes.
Arizona has the eighth pick in April's draft. It can find, in free agency, either a starting running back or help along the offensive line.
What it won't find is a young, talented quarterback who can be the franchise's centerpiece for the next decade.
Teams have become reluctant to use a high draft pick on a quarterback for fear of making an expensive and embarrassing mistake — think Ryan Leaf.
Tom Brady's remarkable success in New England — as a sixth-round draft pick — also has convinced teams there's quarterback gold to be discovered in later rounds.
But for every Tim Couch, there's a Donovan McNabb. For every Akili Smith, there's a Michael Vick.
And the reward of finding an elite quarterback is worth the risk.
That's not to say Arizona should draft a QB with the eighth pick. Assuming California's Aaron Rodgers and Utah's Alex Smith are gone, the Cardinals are better off following Green's mantra and taking the best player available, regardless of position.
But if either Rodgers or Smith drop to No. 8, the Cardinals should take the plunge.
We've seen enough of Dave Krieg and Steve Beuerlein. We're tired of Gary Hogeboom and Boomer Esiason.
Warner and Garcia come off the same assembly line, and longtime, long-suffering Cardinals fans deserve more than another recycled product.
Or didn't Arizona learn its lesson with Emmitt Smith?

(Harry How/Getty Images)Retired NFL linebacker and new televison analyst Ray Lewis was known for his fiery pre-game speeches, attempting to pump his Baltimore Raven teammates up for 60 minutes of football.While some could argue what the speeches really did for the team, one person who didn't quite understand them was quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco.In an interview with ESPN the Magazine, Flacco said that he is taking on more of a leadership role this season, but not the way that Lewis did it."That's not me," Flacco says. "I love Ray, and I love how he always spoke from the heart, but if you listened to those speeches, a lot of them didn't even make sense. He meant everything he was saying, but I didn't know what he was talking about 90 percent of the time."BURKE: NFL Training Camp Snapshot 2013: Baltimore RavensAs far as the label about him being boring, Flacco says he doesn't mind."You think I'm boring? I think that's cool," Flacco says. "I don't know if I'm an everyday person, but I don't think I'm an a—hole. If you think I'm boring, I don't see why it's a negative thing. All I've ever wanted was to be respected within the building." Promoted Stories Comments

Awesome and different tapas. The people is so nice and the place is beautiful. You can try different things, not just the typical "bravas" and "croquetas" You cannot miss it!
The Mercado di San Miguel is a tapas madhouse; across the street this restaurant is an oasis of calm. We liked it enough to return a couple weeks later for our final dinner in Spain. The staff was friendly and helpful. As we found in most of Spain, the selection of low price wines was excellent;; the waitress helped us... More
Honest and tasty cuisine! We discovered La Pizarra while at Mercado de San Miguel (great tapas and wines but pretty bussy). We were looking for a quieter place and the reviews for La Pizarra looked promising. And were they right! Our dinner was great, it was a tuesday night so the place was pretty quiet, we enjoyed a charming ambience.... More
My husband and I came here after walking through plaza mayor on our last night of a ten day spain trip filled with amazing foods. We were in a great mood prior and were looking forward to the dinner since it was highly recommended by some users. I got the beef stroganoff (tasted like glue and needed much salt, came... More
After reading the reviews we decided to go to this restaurant for dinner, but when we got there the place was empty! Not sure if we went too early! As it was our first day in Madrid, so we decided to eat at Mercado San Miguel. We came back to the restaurant in our last day in Madrida for lunch!... More
Visiting Madrid for a day - and I was so lucky to find this gem! The food was sensational! Menu Del Dia (available till 4pm) which cost us 15 euros which is slightly more expensive than in most touristic places in Madrid but it is worth every cenny of it! Would recommend to everyone!
We were looking for a nice place for lunch on Tripadvisor sitting on a back bench in Almudena cathedral. It's not to say we are naughty but to give you a sense of direction/location. The place is near Mercado San Miguel which was very tempting but we didn't succumb to it! La Pizarra offers late lunch (up until 4 pm)... More
This is a great restaurant for Tapas with an incredibly friendly staff and chef! Just down the road from the market, this is a must eat restaurant while in Madrid

Having shied away from the tourist traps in the Plaza Mayor, and chickened out of joining the hard-core foodies in Mercado de San Miguel (and wanting somewhere we could sit down properly), we found this place just round the corner - so quiet it could have been a hundred miles away.
