Steelers Batch impressed with rookie Mike Wallace
Steelers Batch impressed with rookie Mike Wallace
August 24, 11:58 PMPittsburgh Sports Examiner Matt Pawlikowski http://www.examiner.com/x-2703-Pitts...e-Mike-Wallace PITTSBURGH - When a quarterback is a fan, it means you've come into your own as a wide receiver. Steelers rookie Mike Wallace has yet to grab a ball in a regular season game and still has a lot of learning ahead of him. But his efforts thus far, which include four receptions for 58 yards in two pre-season games have caught the eye of Pittsburgh back-up quarterback Charlie Batch.Mike Wallace "Speed, Speed and more speed," Batch laughed when asked his thoughts on Wallace, but he was quick to add this fact. "Mike Wallace is doing a great job, I think its something where he knows there is an opportunity out there to be gotten and he going out there and competing." Batch said. Now in his11th year in the NFL, Batch has seen a number of good wideouts. Asked if there is one in particular that Wallace reminds him of - he didn't hesitate with his answer. "He reminds of us a young Nate Washington because Nate was coming here raw,he was learning the position, learning how to play the NFL game," Batch said. "And you can see Mike has that, but having the experience of playing at a bigger college like Ole Miss he can now learn from a guy like Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes who can show him and teach him how to be a better receiver. That's what he needs to go with that speed." Batch says Wallace still needs to improve his route running. "You can't do everything at one speed at this level, I think that is something as he works with those guys and picks their brain and takes some things from them, add a little to his repertoire. it will be good." Batch also believes facing the Steelers defense on a daily basis is going to elevate his game and make him better if he can do "When you look at our defense it is probably the toughest you are going to get," Batch said. "And having an opportunity to face that day in and out is going to make him better Now whether he had to read a lot of coverages running routes in college, I don't know. But we have to do a lot of that out here and if he has to to be able to do that and to understand the hots and if he can do that, he gains the coaches trust and they put him out there to see how he can do in a game." |

Five moves to strengthen seniors and support their healthFriday, May 10th, 2013 Issue 19, Volume 17.
⢠One in three seniors experiences a significant fall each year. ⢠Every 18 seconds, a senior is admitted into an emergency room after losing balance and hitting the ground. ⢠Every 35 minutes, an elderly person dies from a fall â the leading cause of death for seniors. "The projected cost in health-care expenses for 2020 due to fall-related injuries in the United States is $55 billion," says Karen Peterson, a therapist with multiple certifications, and author of "Move With Balance: Healthy Aging Activities for Brain and Body." She is also the founder and director of Giving Back, a nonprofit organization that grows and spreads programs that support senior health. "Its important for seniors to keep moving and learning, thats what helps improve balance and coordination, and even helps build new neural pathways," says Peterson, who emphasizes the cognitive importance to her workout programs. "But if youre rather frail, or just very fearful of falling, youre less likely to get up and move around." These activities benefit all seniors, from 55 to 105. Peterson says a fun, social program of games and activities that include exercises specifically designed for seniors helps them address multiple issues, including those that tend to keep seniors sedentary â which only lessens their strength and balance. Last year, her program was independently evaluated from Hawaiis Department of Heath, which found a statistically significant reduction in falls from seniors â 38 percent. It also won the MindAlert Award from the American Society on Aging. "Seniors of all ages need to continually work on improving their balance, coordination, strength, vision and cognitive skills. When they do, theyre less likely to fall â and more able to enjoy life." Peterson suggests these moves, which address many different areas of the body: The cross-crawl: After various light warm-ups, begin with the basic cross-crawl, which focuses on the fundamentals of balance. March in place, lifting the knees high. At the same time, reach across and touch the lifted knee with the opposite hand or elbow; alternate and keep going. This can be done sitting, standing or lying down. Once any of these exercises are mastered, Peterson says, participants should continue to challenge themselves. For even greater balance work, and to exercise the vestibular system, close your eyes and count backwards from 100 by threes. Forward toe-touch dancer: To improve motor skills, physical coordination and cognition, there are many dance exercises that are appropriate for seniors. If needed, use a chair for assistance. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Now, simultaneously extend your left foot and your right arm forward. Keep your left toes pointed down, touching the floor; or for more difficulty, maintain the toes a few inches off the floor. Repeat this move with your left arm and right foot. Hold each pose for several seconds, and increase holding time. Sensory integration â the arrow chart: Look at an arrow chart and call out the direction indicated by each individual symbol. Then, thrust your arms in that direction; in other words, say and do what the arrow indicates. For an additional challenge, do the opposite of what the arrow indicates. Side-step walk: Walk sidestepping â bring your right foot across the left and step down three to five inches away from the left foot, ankles crossed. The closer the feet, the harder it is to balance. Alternate crossing the foot in front and then behind the other foot as you move along; repeat several times, then do the same with opposite feet. As a bonus challenge, try a reading exercise from a vision card, designed for stimulating the brain/visual system, while sidestepping. The cat jump: This activity is practice in case of a fall; the muscle memory of the movement will be etched in your body. Bend your knees in a squat. Jump a little off the ground with both feet, and land softly, like a cat, without jarring your body. Repeat until you are confident in your ability to prevent a spill. "Research shows that most falls are preventable," Peterson says. "These and other exercises, performed regularly, are a great way to achieve safety and a revitalized lifestyle." 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Food, Fun, And Music in Memphis
Memphis is one of the hottest - and the coolest- cities in the South. This city has got the whole Southern charm thing going on, but it is really much more than that: There are so many things here that you just don't see anywhere else in the country. Quirky things like the Peabody Hotel duck parade, inspiring things like the Beale Street music, the craziness of Graceland, and then of course there is the world's best barbecue. Memphis is all the more awesome because you can get the best out of the city and have a wonderful weekend for a lot less than in most other cities of this size. Even with all the traveling I do, I still have not found a city that gives a better value for the travel dollar than this one.
I finally took my friends Shelly and Bob up on their long standing invitation to visit, and arrived on a Friday afternoon, just in time for the one activity I absolutely insisted upon: I had to see those famous Peabody ducks! Following an adventurous drive in the crazy downtown traffic, we arrived with just seconds to spare, for the 5pm "duck march". Twice a day every day (the first performance is at 11am) the mallard ducks, who live in the Peabody Hotel duck palace atop the building, parade through the hotel and down to the fountain out front. This is one of the most "Memphis" things to do, and I think it may just be more entertaining to watch these ducks strut about on the red carpet than it is to watch celebrities walking the Hollywood red carpets!
For dinner in Memphis, barbecue is practically a requirement, and with very good reason: I have never truly tasted barbecue until I had the pork ribs at Central BBQ. I had no idea that barbecue could taste like this, and be literally melting away from the bone tender. Amazing, and did I mention it is also cheap? The whole massive slab of ribs, plus sides, came in at under 20 bucks. Although it took us a while to move after we had eaten ourselves in a BBQ stupor, we finally got in gear so that we could head over to some of the Beale Street clubs for some great live music.
You can hardly go wrong with music on Beale Street: The Jazz here just does not get any better or more authentic. My favorite spot here is B.B. King's Blues Club because there is always great live music. We arrived after 7pm, so had a minimal $5 cover charge, but before then it's free. For my Friday night visit, we got to see the Will Tucker Band and the BB King All-Stars. Both bands were awesome and really had that true Memphis jazz sound. There are tons of cute little shops scattered all over Beale street that I really enjoyed ducking into. These are the tourist type shops, but they have some great Beale Street themed tee shirts and funny little souvenirs.
I toured Graceland the next day, and while it was an amazing experience, I would definitely say that Saturday is not the optimum day to take on the frenzied masses of Elvis lovers. Hey, I love Elvis as much as the next girl, but I can do without the wall to wall bodies. The guides mentioned that earlier in the week is the ideal time to visit. Apart from the crowds, I have to say that Graceland is truly a special place, even if you are not a fan of the King. This is an eye-popping display of 60s and early 70s decor, and it really does give you the sense of living in the world that Elvis lived in. Standing in the jungle room, in the mirrored stairway, and by his final resting place made me feel a real connection here, and I can understand why so many fans visit repeatedly.
Memphis was a great weekend trip, and I feel as if I had two hosts: My dear friends, and the gracious city itself. This city opens its arms wide to tourists, and the warm Southern hospitality will insure that I return as soon as possible.

First of all, these updates will be coming with some regularity from this point on. With all the upheaval within the Denver Broncos organization, I wanted to give an opportunity for stability to set and get some true measure of where the organization really is before imposing my amateur judgment.
Heading into this game, there were many questions surrounding the Broncos. They'd beaten a hapless Oakland Raiders team and a floundering group from Pittsburgh masquerading as the Steelers, while losing to the elite tier of the NFL. In their losses, Denver had found themselves down by large margins (27-7 at Atlanta, another 20 pt deficit vs Houston going into the fourth at 31-11, and a 31-7 deficit at New England nearing the fourth quarter). Were these scores more indicative of the Broncos talent level than the much-closer final scores? The affectionately termed "garbage time"–and keep in mind, garbage time isn't solely indicative of a prevent defense, it also reflects one dimensional run-the-clock-out offensive play? "The Broncos were not bad" seemed to be the only certainty, but when you have Peyton Manning on the payroll, "not bad" is nothing shy of unacceptable.
I found myself anxiously looking forward to the match-up against the Chargers, a very solid, but unspectacular team shy of the league's elite, and a phenomenal measuring stick not only of our status within the AFC West, but within the league itself. The game arrives and through two quarters we seem to have found our answer: The Broncos suck. Special teams' errors prevent the Broncos offense from getting any rhythm and left the defense to do what it does best: surrender yards and points to TEs and RBs and anyone willing to make a play over the middle.
My comments last week:
"Good as he is, schematically selecting Miller and playing him as we have been (which IS to maximize his abilities) often put us in a poor spot. We have a player that is an absolute world beater within his role, but he's not transcendent of scheme (not to say he couldn't be, he certainly has the athletic skill set for it). He fixes our pass rush woes in spades, but doesn't address our linebacker woes over the middle (ie: he's a great player, but he's not solving issues like TE/RB coverage due to his utilization)."
Now let's contrast that to what actually happened. Antonio Gates had 5 first half catches for 68 yards and 2 scores leading the Chargers to a 24-0 lead. Then something magical happens… instead of rushing Von, he's covering… and doing it pretty well. Gruden criticized the move, correctly pointing out that Miller's best asset is his pass-rushing ability. What Gruden's lack of Broncos defense focus neglected to realize, no one else was capable of covering. Joe Mays and Brooking can't cover. Mike Adams can't fill and take on Gates in a match-up battle. Woodyard can run with him, but can't get his head around to make a play on the ball.
So Von it must be… situationally, at least.
When DJ Williams returns, we can cut down further on those coverage drops and get him chasing the QB more, but without telegraphing his role to opposing offensive line coaches. With our given personnel, I want 3-3 nickel looks in long passing situations with Elvis, Vickerson and Meth-Wolfe on the line with Woodyard, DJ and Von standing up. With moderate splits, our LBs should have some premium pass-rushing match-ups coming on a blitz–All three have shown an innate ability to get to the quarterback… let's take advantage of it. Let's dictate protection schemes as opposing OC's have to analyze tendencies to answer questions like: Who's coming on 3rd and long? How many are coming?
Let's abuse the mediocre QBs-to-come in this pending soft spot in the schedule and build the Broncos into that elite crust… back where they belong.
Random Thoughts:
Jeff Triplette is useless. Phantom PI and pseudo-"false start"s on Rivers among his most recent hits. Hopefully the league can bench this crew under the new officiating agreement… they didn't even meet the replacement refs standards.
Tony Carter looked exactly like Tramon Williams out there. Really nice to see a local guy (went to High School right next to my girlfriend's house) not only get an opportunity, but kick the door in on it. He's made it hard for the coaches to keep him off the field moving forward.
Manning to Stokely is timeless. As are Manning and Stokely individually.
Welcome back Chris Kuper. Whether it was confidence or rust, his rough start seemed to fade and he played stronger towards the end. His is a presence that will be necessary on the OL if we want to compete with the league's aristocracy.
Decker is his own worst enemy. I'm not sure where his head is at, but when he gets out of his own way he's a very good wide receiver.

Americans spend nearly a quarter of their time online on social networking sites and blogs, up from 15.8 percent just a year ago (43 percent increase) according to new research released today from The Nielsen Company.
The research revealed that Americans spend a third their online time (36 percent) communicating and networking across social networks, blogs, personal email and instant messaging.
Additional findings include:
What is it?
Togetherville is a social networking experience intended for your younger children (5-10 year olds). The new service is designed to provide a training ground where parents can teach their kids important lessons about online communication, community building and what it means to be a good digital citizen.
The Togetherville community experience piggy-backs on the Facebook platform and allows grownups to guide their kids through an age-appropriate social networking experience, kid friendly content, moderate connections and interactions all in an ad-free environment.
How does it Work?
In Togetherville, grownups act as the moderator for new contacts, assuming the responsibility for inviting family members/friends and other kids' to join their child's online neighborhood. The 6-to 10-year-olds are invited to engage with their real-world friends, play games, watch videos, and create art.
Is it safe?
Togetherville is intended for kids who are too young for Facebook and is fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Kids' are *NOT connected* to anyone without their parents approval, so parents don't need to worry about 'stranger danger.'
Unlike other child oriented social networks, kids' use their real names instead of an alias. This is important because it teaches them to be responsible for their actions within the community. Since their identity isn't a secret, the thinking is that this will reduce the chances that they will engage in cyberbullying or other no-no behaviors.
Togetherville "Allowance"
Allowance is a new site feature that helps teach kids financial literacy while providing parents with a way to reward good behavior, both online and off.
Parents or other approved adults (family members, coaches) can give a child Togetherville currency called "T-bills," which can be spent on virtual goods, games or gifts within each child's unique Togetherville neighborhood.
Once they have T-bills, parents and adults can give Allowance to children for whom they are administrators. Kids and adults can use T-bills for virtual goodies, gifts and games.
As with any feature in Togetherville, a parent or other adult with administrative rights has complete control over who can give their child funds. In addition, just like in the offline world, a parent can suspend or eliminate a child's Allowance at any time.
Developing Healthy Media Habits
A lot of people will say that kids' don't need to be online and that they should go outside and play.
Think of it this way: too much of anything is bad. Too many hours playing video games or watching cartoons--not healthy! Eating too much ice cream, Taco Bell or drinking too much soda are also not a good thing.
It doesn't really matter if it's chocolate milk, riding your bike in the dark, watching too much TV or being online. As adults, we need to be the ones who help children develop healthy habits.
Social by Design
Think of Togetherville as a social networking apprenticeship where parents act as a Facebook "expert" who mentor and help their children through the experience of participating in a social networking community.
The situated learning theory argues that learning and knowledge acquisition takes place only when situated in a social and authentic context.Ultimately this process –known as legitimate peripheral participation—moves the newcomer deeper into a community of practice leading them closer to acquiring the knowledge and skills required to be an expert. In Togetherville, young kids' will form a community of practice (and safety net) consisting of their peers, site moderators, and several parent "experts."Cognitive apprenticeship is an instructional design and learning theory wherein the instructor (or parent), through socialization, models the skill or task at hand for the child. Kids' may also receive guidance from and learn from their peers.The role of the parent is to help novices (in this case, your kids') clear cognitive roadblocks (Facebook/social networking) by providing them with the resources needed to develop a better understanding of social media. This process is called scaffolding. Ultimately the kids will become an expert who no longer needs the scaffolding provided by Togetherville and/or parental guidance. In turn, they will have a better understanding of potential roadblocks and are now equipped the skills to navigate the world of social media/networking sites like Facebook.Putting it All Together
In the end, what's important here is to take a balanced position when it comes to kids and technology. As a parent or teacher, don't be afraid to jump into the technology and social media pool and get your feet wet.
Use this as an opportunity to spend time with your kids and learn more about how they are using technology, mobile phones and social media in their lives.
Most importantly, when it comes to kids and social networking, don't panic!
The future of the Web is social. What does that mean? Google is trying to figure it out.The company's previous attempts to corner the social Web, like Google Wave and Buzz, fizzled or failed to sustain much, well, buzz.
But the company is making waves online with a new 216-page slide show that tries to explain how we interact online and how we use those interactions to make purchasing and reading decisions.
It's a long, fascinating document, notable more for its clarity of thought than for any mind-blowing insights.

This is a little video produced by Ireland-based PR firm Simply Zesty that explores the state of social media in the UK.
The video includes some interesting social media stats and other demographic information, including: 85% percent of the UK population is online and they spend over 6 hours on social media sites every month, nearly 60% of them read blogs and 64% have their own profile on a social network.
Parents who believe that playing video games is less harmful to their kids' attention spans than watching TV may want to reconsider -- and unplug the Xbox. Video games can sap a child's attention just as much as the tube, a new study suggests.
Elementary school children who play video games more than two hours a day are 67 percent more likely than their peers who play less to have greater-than-average attention problems, according to the study, which appears in the journal Pediatrics.
Playing video games and watching TV appear to have roughly the same link to attention problems, even though video games are considered a less passive activity, the researchers say.
"Video games aren't less likely than television to be related to attention problems," says the lead author of the study, Edward Swing, a doctoral candidate in the department of psychology at Iowa State University, in Ames. "They were at least as strong as television at predicting attention problems."
However, the study doesn't prove that video games directly cause attention problems. It could be that kids who have short attention spans to begin with might be more likely to pick up a joystick than a book, for instance.

This talk provides an updated look at the research and definitions around bullying and cyberbullying and draws upon the work of Amanda Lenhart from the Pew Internet Project, UNH's Crimes Against Children Research Center, the work of Internet Solutions for Kids as well as research by professors Sameer Hinduja and Justin Patchin.
Originally presented to the Youth Online Safety Working Group assembled by National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), this talk unpacks both what current research can tell us about cyberbullying as well as where the gaps our understanding of this issue lie.

One of the things I enjoy most about my work is having the opportunity to talk with parents, educators and brands to dispel some of the myths or fears around kids' use of social media.
No matter the audience, my message is pretty consistent: Don't panic!
I'm also frequently asked to share some of my favorite digital parenting links, tips and other resources. So here we go! I've sorted through my bookmarks and put together this (hopefully) handy handout. Feel free to print it, tweet it and share it with anyone you think would find it helpful.

"If we over-estimate their skills we underestimate the support they need and misunderstand their practices." – Dr. Sonia Livingstone
Over the last decade there has been lots of talk, in both the press and educational circles, about the technological prowess of "digital natives." We've heard a lot about what's exciting in educational technology, but the reality is that teachers still see a lot of kids struggling to use technology.
During her keynote at DML 2010, Dr. Sonia Livingstone (London School of Economics) shared the following examples from her research and interviews with both parents and kids on the difficulties "digital natives" face using technology:
When it comes to youth and digital media we tend to be conservative in the type of content we give young people and far more aggressive when approaching them with digital media tools.
It's important to remember that just because we include digital media doesn't mean youth know how to make meaning or engage with these technologies.
Television's prime time is video games' prime time.
Television viewer erosion is the result of a fractionalized viewership -- which is due, in large part, to cable viewing and Internet usage. But a lot of video game usage is also contributing, especially in the evening hours between 7 and 11 p.m. A new study by the Nielsen Games measuring division says Xbox 360 usage, for example, hits nearly 25% between 7 and 11 p.m, with men around 23% and women's usage at around 17%. Xbox 360 users are comprised of 45% 18- to-34-year-olds, 31% 12- to-17-year-olds, 13% 2- to-11-year-olds, 7% 35- to-44-year-olds and 3% 45- to-54-year-olds.

This augmented reality kiosk called "DIGITAL BOX" has been developed by LEGO Digital Systems and metaio. After an evaluatiion phase it is now rolled out to LEGO brand stores worldwide and is widely considered to be one of the best examples of augmented reality in marketing.
Ideally, customers want to hold the product in their hands and look at it closely from all angles. But for products like LEGO sets, it can take hours of construction before you know what the toy really looks like.
Children of all ages can now hold LEGO boxes up to the DIGITAL BOX and watch a 3D animation of the product - from all angles, in every detail - in their hands. This is made possible by metaio, which fuses virtual 3D animations into a live video of the completed LEGO set.
While this is a pretty slick implementation of augmented reality in a youth marketing context, I think it actually is a powerful example of how a brand can leverage augmented reality as a digital storytelling tool.
It's one thing to look at the picture on the box, but to see the LEGO set come to life in 3D that provides youth marketers with exciting new opportunities to create a virtual storyline that draws the customer deeper into the world of LEGO and allows them to connect on a deeper, emotional level with the brand.

Media reports teem with stories of young people posting salacious photos online, writing about alcohol-fueled misdeeds on social networking sites, and publicizing other ill-considered escapades that may haunt them in the future.
These anecdotes are interpreted as representing a generation-wide shift in attitude toward information privacy. Many commentators therefore claim that young people "are less concerned with maintaining privacy than older people are."
Surprisingly, though, few empirical investigations have explored the privacy attitudes of young adults. This report is among the first quantitative studies evaluating young adults' attitudes. It demonstrates that the picture is more nuanced than portrayed in the popular media.
A gap in privacy knowledge provides one explanation for the apparent license with which the young behave online. 42 percent of young Americans answered all of our five online privacy questions incorrectly. 88 percent answered only two or fewer correctly.
The problem is even more pronounced when presented with offline privacy issues – post hoc analysis showed that young Americans were more likely to answer no questions correctly than any other age group.
We conclude then that that young-adult Americans have an aspiration for increased privacy even while they participate in an online reality that is optimized to increase their revelation of personal data.
Hoofnagle, Chris Jay, King, Jennifer, Li, Su and Turow, Joseph,. How Different are Young Adults from Older Adults When it Comes to Information Privacy Attitudes and Policies? (April 14, 2010). Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1589864
This is a pretty moving piece from Pathways To Housing & Sarkissian Mason depicting a "virtual" homeless man projected onto a wall in NYC, shivering from the cold of a sleepless night, alone, outdoors, he is just one of 40,000 similar people that are homeless in New York.
The campaign to raise awareness hope to create interaction with someone most people just pass by, in prompting the public to interact with the virtual homeless man by SMSing a number that opens a door.
Passers by are then given the opportunity to send another SMS to make a small donation instantly from their phone. Very, very cool work for a great cause.

The Perfect Setting
One of the reasons I love the holidays is setting a beautiful table. I know I am a serious throwback to the times when meals were an affair; not to take on the run and rush through.
When I was growing up, my mother made dinners that we sat down to eat at the dining table, (go figure!) and we talked and spent time laughing and catching up with everyones' day. I love the ritual of the napkin and the charger and the salad and dinner fork…. Water glass, wine glass, candles and a center piece. Sadly there aren't a lot of people around me that like all that pomp and ceremony. But I still try to spread a little beauty, even when only a handful notice. I think, in the back of their minds they may register some of the elements anyway, and that's okay by me. As long as they let me play!
I'm always looking to pin lovely and creative table settings. They are so much fun to look at; themes, locations. Al Fresco? Yes!! A romantic porch overlooking a setting sun on a wide open beach? Yes!! A cozy meal in front of a roaring fire? Yes Yes!!! Check them out here on my Pinterest board. Both Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn have themed party planning pages on their websites, if you need some detailed suggestions. My favs!! Click on the pictures above to check them out. Of course they have great ideas, but my advice is to experiment with the elements you love, don't be afraid to mix it up, but most of all have fun!

Medics Witness Oklahoma Plane Crash
(AP) OKLAHOMA CITY - Five people were critically injured Saturday when their single-engine aircraft crashed in far northwestern Oklahoma City.
The aircraft had taken off from Wiley Post Airport and was scheduled to fly to Enid Woodring Regional Airport when it may have experienced engine trouble and attempted to return to Wiley Post, said Roland Herwig, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane clipped a tree before it came down in a ditch in front a Bank of Oklahoma branch along Northwest Expressway at 8:52 a.m., authorities said.
"It appeared to me that it was trying to make an emergency landing. He kept it upright the whole time," said Oklahoma City fire Battalion Chief Steven Lumry. "He landed in the best orientation he could for a crash or emergency situation."
The aircraft's occupants, two men and three women, were taken to the University of Oklahoma Medical Center and Deaconess Hospital in critical condition, said EMSA Spokeswoman Lara O'Leary. They were not immediately identified.
"Our paramedics were driving down Northwest Expressway and they saw the single-engine plane crash," O'Leary said. "It was fortuitous that they were there immediately."
The plane, a 1976 Beech Bonanza, was destroyed in the crash, Herwig said. No one on the ground was injured, but the hazardous materials unit was called to clean up when fuel began to leak into a nearby storm drain.
"They were able to mitigate the circumstance rather quickly," Lumry said.
"I could see the firemen kind of panicking in front of the plane and trying to get the people out of the plane," said Amber Dowell, who works at Tan & Tone America across the street. "It was kind of crazy and scary... I've never seen anything like it."
The westbound lanes of Northwest Expressway were shut down while officials investigated the crash.
The cause of the crash and the reason for the plane's return to Wiley Post return are under investigation, Herwig said. He said the National Transportation Safety Board also plans an investigation.

for Buffalo's Fire
On Sept. 12, 2012, an "Order to Limit the Scope of Relief " by the plaintiffs was deemed moot by the U.S District Court of North Dakota in Houle v. Central Power Electric Cooperative. The case is tentatively scheduled for hearing in the spring of 2013.
This case involves issues that have been ongoing before the ink had dried on the first Indian treaties. Can the Bureau of Indian Affairs issue a permit allowing utilities to "piggyback" off of existing BIA roads right-of-ways, or also referred to as easements, without landowner consent, or without compensation to the landowner(s)? Income can be lost if there is a road, electric, telephone, Internet line, etc. rolled into the same easement for a road.
This case arises from CPECI's construction of a 69kv high-voltage transmission line across the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation, including a tract of allotted land owned by the United States in trust for Houle. CPECI initially did not believe they needed to acquire easements for the underlying land owned by Houle because the BIA granted CPECI a right-of-way permit.
The following key issues in this case are:
• CPECI filed a motion to have the judge dismiss the complaint because the case was resolved in tribal court. The tribal court decision was a form of condemnation. 25 United States Code § 357 permits the condemnation of individually owned Indian land for public purposes. The action must filed in a federal court of jurisdiction and the U.S. government must be a party named in the suit. The tribal court decision was outside the scope of their authority.
• CPECI claims that a Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Tribal Resolution authorized CPECI rights-of-ways on allotted lands in contradiction to federal statutes requiring landowner(s) consent.
• CPECI claims that the BIA Roads Department authorized use, or piggybacking, on BIA's existing road easements. BIA easements include a "purpose" provision. If the easement is for construction and maintenance of a road, use for other purposes violates the terms and could be subject to termination. If BIA granted an easement permit non-compliant with 25 CFR § 169.3(b), it could be deemed void ab initio or an invalid.
Also, easements for construction of a power line of 66kv or higher to generate or transmit power requires a review by the assistant secretary of the Interior for water and power resources (25 CFR § 169.27(b)) before final consideration to grant an easement by the BIA.
The confusion for most landowners is rights-of-way acts applicable to Indian land easements. In this case, I reference two acts specific to Indian lands. The act of March 3, 1901, 25 USC § 311 gave the secretary of the Interior authority to grant road easements to state or local authorities through any reservation or allotment without landowner consent; and the act of Feb. 5, 1948, 25 USC. § 324, which required landowner(s) consent.
CPECI contends that Houle was compensated to consent for the easement pursuant to a tribal court order, but that is neither here nor there because the court exceeded its authority. Houle did not consent in writing as required under 25 CFR § 169.3(b).
Easements essentially limit your right to use a portion of your trust land and restrict your ability to obtain future income for the land taken.
If the subject land is five acres of a 40- acre allotment leased for agriculture, the leased and compensated acreage is diminished for five acres for the entire term of the easement. Easements usually receive a one-time payment to the landowner(s) but there is no income for future heirs unless a schedule of payment is agreed upon. There are ways to safeguard your interests, but it must be negotiated up front. Easements must be treated as a negotiated contractual agreement.
This is a case that could change the way business is done in Indian Country and generate income to Indian landowners. Know your rights because your future heirs depend on it.
Jay Daniels retired from Bureau of Indian Affairs after more than 26 years of service. He has an extensive background in real estate services. He has managed oil and gas leasing, agricultural leasing, residential leasing, acquisition and disposal of land, rights protection, and business leasing.

Back in 2009, I had a more-than-casual interest in LeBron's Cavaliers. My buddy and I watched almost every game of the playoffs that year in a small bar here in Chattanooga, and we both felt that we were watching something special.
The Cavs had annihilated Detroit and Atlanta, sweeping both teams and waltzing to the Eastern Conference Finals. We thought — practically everybody thought, as I recall — nothing on this planet could stop LeBron James and company from advancing to the NBA Finals.
Enter Hedo Turkoglu and the Orlando Magic.
Hedo's captain-esque performance in the Conference Finals gave way to an onslaught of clout the likes of which LeBron had rarely seen in the postseason, and it produced a 4-2 series win for the Magic and a trip to the Finals.
In those six games, I came to respect, loathe, revere, and fear Hedo as the Magic stared down King James and stood tall. I was a Cavs fan then, and I cringed when Hedo touched the ball. My shoulders got tense when he instigated the pick-and roll with Dwight Howard. As a LeBron fan, Hedo absolutely terrified me.
Following that stretch of brilliance, he entered a downward spiral — first in Toronto, then in Phoenix, and back in Orlando. Hedo declined as a player, got suspended for a failed PED test, and is now expected to have his contract bought out soon by the Magic. What happened? How did we get here?
There were several things working for the Magic during their Finals run in 2009. Dwight Howard was blossoming into a superstar, Rashard Lewis was a sniper, and the team defense was smothering.
What stood out to me, though, was the leadership of Hedo Turkoglu. Granted, a lot of that feeling stemmed from intangibles: his confidence, his unwillingness to lose, etc. The presence that Turk had — so important in a playoff environment — was critical to that Magic team. He played like a captain.
The irony is that 2008-09 was a modest year numbers-wise for Turkoglu. His 14.8 PER hovered around the league-average (15.0). In 24 playoff games, he averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game — nothing to email mom about, necessarily. In fact, his PER dropped during the playoffs to 13.2. But to me, it was the climax of his career.
Now let's step back a year prior when Hedo won the Most Improved Player award in 2007-08. During the regular season, Hedo averaged 19.5 points, 5 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game. He had a career-high 17.8 PER while posting a .576 True Shooting percentage. Statistically, 2008 represented the high point in Hedo's career, but a second round shellacking from Detroit cut his season short.
So what changed from 2008 to 2009 that made Turk look much savvier as a player? It was the type of offense the Magic ran. In 2008, Turkoglu ran the pick-and-roll 24.7 percent of the time, per Synergy Sports. In 2009, that percentage jumped up to 29.7 percent — in part due to Jameer Nelson getting hurt midway through the season.
Hedo ran the pick-and-roll everywhere. Top of the key, on the wing, didn't matter. The dynamic threat of him serving as the primary hub of the Magic's offensive attack completely reshaped the team, and that transformation brought them to the NBA Finals.
To me, that matters more than a Most Improved season with a slightly higher stat-line. Hedo knew his role, was given a job, and executed it to near perfection within Stan Van Gundy's system. SVG was a genius (and still is). He directed that offense like a concertmaster, and Turk was his first chair violinist. He had him running the pick-and-roll like his career depended on it. And as we later found out, his career actually did depend on it.
Obviously things took a turn for the worse when Turk signed with the Toronto Raptors as a free agent following his run to the Finals. The general consensus was that Hedo's role had changed, and he was being treated more as a spot-up shooter. The reality is that he ran the pick-and-roll 27.7 percent of the time, per Synergy Sports. Hedo's issue wasn't really a lack of involvement. It was more so a lack of effort.
And contrary to what most people think, his time with the Raptors was not horrible. His True Shooting percentage was the same as it was in his final year with the Magic, his 3-point field goal percentage improved, and his PER fell just a bit, mainly due to him scoring less. Other than that, it still seemed like a salvageable situation.
His time in Phoenix is really where Turk's game started to hit the skids. Hedo's involvement in the pick-and-roll dropped to an embarrassing 10.9 percent, per Synergy Sports. Through 25 games in Phoenix, Hedo was severely misused.
We saw in 2008 and 2009 that Turk's game stemmed from his ability to facilitate, work in and through an offense, and have a more holistic approach on the court. More simply, his success stemmed from the pick-and-roll with the best center in the game.
Maybe it was the hard truth that he played on two losing teams. Maybe he felt like he peaked in 2009 and left it all on the floor that year. Maybe he missed Dwight. It's really hard to say. What we know for sure is that the years following that Finals run, it was the beginning of the end for Turkoglu.
By the time he returned to Orlando, Hedo was playing pretty uninspired basketball. He returned to his role as a ballhandler in the pick-and-roll. In fact, he was involved in pick-and-roll possessions 34.7 (!) percent of the time, per Synergy Sports.
But he just never had the pop that he once had. His 3-point field goal percentage slumped, taking away one of the threats that made him so dangerous in the pick-and-roll, and he lost a step, perhaps because of injury, and perhaps just because he was getting older. Either way, it was clear that the 2007-09 Turkoglu was nowhere to be found.
It was a fall from grace, to be sure. Turk was the man for a few short seasons. He was large and in charge, and a beacon of light in the Magic organization. And it all went away in a flash. That's the unfortunate truth of the somber trajectory of Hedo Turkoglu.
