'The coward's way out'
Derision, contentment in Cleveland after captor hangs self in cell
CLEVELAND -- Residents in the tough Cleveland neighbourhood where three women were secretly imprisoned for a decade reacted with scorn and grim satisfaction Wednesday after Ariel Castro hanged himself in his cell barely a month into a life sentence.
Even the prosecutor joined in.
"This man couldn't take, for even a month, a small portion of what he had dished out for more than a decade," said Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty.
Castro, 53, was found hanging from a bedsheet Tuesday night at the state prison in Orient, corrections spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The coroner's office said it was suicide.
"He took the coward's way out," said Elsie Cintron, who lived up the street from the former school bus driver. "We're sad to hear that he's dead, but at the same time, we're happy he's gone, and now we know he can't ask for an appeal or try for one if he's acting like he's crazy."
As the shocking news sank in, prison officials faced questions about how a high-profile inmate managed to commit suicide while in protective custody. Just a month ago, an Ohio death-row inmate killed himself days before he was to be executed.
Ohio prisons director Gary Mohr announced a review of Castro's suicide and whether he had received proper medical and mental-health care. State police are also investigating.
The announcement came after the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio called for a full investigation.
"As horrifying as Mr. Castro's crimes may be, the state has a responsibility to ensure his safety from himself and others," executive director Christine Link said.
Through a spokeswoman, Castro's three victims declined to comment.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. At his sentencing, he told the judge: "I'm not a monster. I'm sick."
Castro had been in a cell by himself in protective custody, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes, because of fears his notoriety could lead to attacks from other inmates, authorities said.
He was not on a suicide watch, which entails constant supervision, Smith said. She would not say why.
Officials would not say whether he left a suicide note.
Castro had been on a suicide watch for a few weeks in the Cuyahoga County jail before he pleaded guilty and was turned over to state authorities, and police said after his arrest they had found a years-old note in which he talked about suicide. But authorities at the jail dropped the suicide watch in June after concluding he was unlikely to take his own life.
Castro's captives -- Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight -- disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20. They were rescued from Castro's run-down house May 6 after Berry broke through a screen door.
Elation over the women's rescue turned to shock as details emerged about their captivity. Castro fathered a child with Berry while she was being held. The girl was six when she was freed.
Investigators also disclosed the women were bound with chains, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities.
Knight told authorities Castro impregnated her repeatedly and made her miscarry by starving her and punching her in the belly. Berry said she was forced to give birth in a plastic kiddie pool.
On Castro's old street Wednesday, freshly planted landscaping was in bloom on the site where his house stood before it was demolished by the city a month ago.
Castro "took the easy way out," said James King, who lives down the street. "He knew what he did was wrong, so he killed himself."

Andy McKee
Rams Head On Stage
33 West St.
Annapolis, MD, 21401
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
Andy McKee's acoustic guitar can approximate the polyrhythmic interplay of a percussion ensemble, the harmonic sweep of a string section, the dazzling runs of a bluegrass doghouse bass-and-banjo duo, and virtually anything else his pastoral compositions and tasteful covers require. In 9 years and 5 records he's written an oeuvre that globally inspires and intrigues music fans. His robust 200 dates-a-year tour itinerary—often spanning domestic rural to the exotically remote, from Arizona to Zimbabwe and everything in between—and his fans-first commitment, make him a worldwide ambassador for a new era in acoustic virtuosity.
Andy's imaginative and masterful approach to the instrument and his Guitar Masters tour franchise—a tour package of edgy progressives—is helping to redefine our conception of acoustic guitar. Recently he's garnered plum exposure touring with Dream Theater (where he played to 10,000 in Mexico City) and Eric Johnson (who made a rare acoustic showing on the Guitar Masters Tour) where he's been able to share his unique artistry with a wide and diverse audience. Fans of sophisticated holiday music had the opportunity to hear Andy on Josh Groban's Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum Christmas album, Noël. In December 2008 Andy was awarded Acoustic Guitar Magazine's esteemed worldwide silver medal award for his fingerstyle approach. But most fans first exposure to Andy's guitartistry has been through his youtube presence; the Topeka Kansas native's 100 million cumulative youtube views puts him in the top 3 most viewed subjects on the site's storied 7-year history. Youtube, and video culture in general, tends to have a shtick-based popularity where humorous and superficial images tend to attract the most attention. That a guy with just an acoustic guitar and no fancy camera work or special effects could resonate with that many people is inspiring in that it showed there is a powerful and widespread hunger for pure and progressive musicianship.
Andy is currently building the Guitar Masters Tour brand, a franchise that seeks to combine technically masterful acoustic guitar performances with artist's workshop accessibility for an engaging and participatory fan experience. His current CD/DVD package, Joyland (Razor & Tie, 2010), has a cinematic feel often conjuring up abandoned theme parks though it also features his trademark pastoral compositional style. The album is a breakthrough as he tastefully expanded his artistic palette through adding drums and cello in select places, showcasing his scoring capabilities outside the guitar-centric realm. The DVD component has an instructional bend with Andy's trademark candor and wit as he takes the viewer through his musical journey and generously reveals tunings and techniques, bringing the guitar fan close for intimate masterclass performances of the new standards on Joyland.

Solar Heating Options
We are building a pool and our home is located in the Inland Empire, CA. We are looking into various solar heating options to extend our swimming season. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice on a good unit for that?
I have the Heliocol panels installed. Prime reason for me was an install to a steep standing seam metal roof subject to storm winds; however, your conditions might favor some other brand/style install.
Anyway, a non-biased source of panel advice (size, placement, tested efficiency, etc.) can be found at the Florida Solar Energy Center website run by the Univ of Central Florida
We went with Aquatherm. Works great and came with a lifetime transferable warranty against any leaks in the roof and a lifetime transferable warranty on the panels. Hope this helps...

Do the Twist (Yoga, that is)
Jennifer Pahl brings her dream exercise studio to Lake Grove
Clients of Twist Yoga are encouraged to write their ambitions on a blackboard at the Lake Grove studio.
One ambition seems to sum up everything about Twist Yoga: Twist like theres no tomorrow.
It also applies to the studios owner, Jennifer Pahl. With Twist Yoga she has developed just the kind of exercise studio she wanted.
Its a twist on traditional yoga things using my own ideas, Pahl said.
One of those ideas is keeping the exercise area quite warm, the better to loosen up tight muscles and eliminate toxic substances from bodies. As Pahl said, Its hot yoga.
Thus she made her own dream come true.
I was driving all over town looking for a heated yoga studio, Pahl said. Finally I thought, Why dont I open one?
At first Pahl hesitated because I am not a teacher, and she had only been doing yoga for five years. But she took the plunge by developing a business plan and contacting yoga instructors from across the country for ideas. She hired nine instructors and found the perfect location for her studio in Lake Grove, a mere half mile from her home.
Along with everything, Pahls patrons are amazing. LeeAnn Talbott, a busy wife, mother and business woman, breezed in after a strenuous workout and was happy to talk about the joy of Twist Yoga.
Ive been doing yoga for five or six years and Ive been waiting for a studio like this, she said. It has amazing teachers, a beautiful studio, its awesome. It can give you anything you want, from relaxing to a great workout.
She added, Everyone should add yoga to their exercise routine, no matter what it is.
Pahl agrees. She has been a lifelong exercise aficionado, trying just about every kind of exercise, including running, weights and gym classes. Unfortunately, all that exercise was not making her feel very good.
I had chronic injuries, Pahl said. I found that yoga was something I could do right now and for the rest of my life, instead of being tired and injured all the time.
Not only that but Pahls mental skills have greatly improved. Yoga has taught her to be more in the moment and mindful of the present instead of having her thinking scattered on all kinds of thoughts. She also relieved her stress because yoga taught her how to really breathe.
While Pahl denies being a yoga expert, she does teach one class at the studio for teenage girls.
Teaching yoga to teens is my passion, Pahl said. It helps them deal with the issues they face as they reach puberty. I wish I had gotten into yoga as a teen.
Pahl is making up for lost time. She now does yoga almost every day.
For more about Twist Yoga, visit twist-yoga.com or call 503-303-4195. It is located at 3970 SW Mercantile Drive, Suite 100, in Lake Grove.

Joaquin Phoenix Simulates Drowning in PETA Vegan Ad (Video)
He delivered an astonishing performance as a varnish-chugging sea drifter in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master. Now Joaquin Phoenix is taking his Method acting underwater, simulating a drowning man in a PETA spot meant to influence people to go vegan.
The connection? Phoenix is illustrating what it's like for fish to be pulled from the water and left to suffocate to death, a technique that's a "slow, painful and frightening" death for "more than 1 trillion fish every year."
It was a fishing incident that first convinced Phoenix to become a vegan, when he was only 3 years old.
"To this day it is a vivid memory," he told an interviewer in 1996. "My family and I were on a boat catching fish. As one fish was caught, he was writhing. Then he was thrown against the side of the boat. You couldn't disguise what it was. This was what we did to animals to eat them. The animal went from a living, vibrant creature fighting for life to a violent death."

GEM Energy Management Saves 45% on Hotel Room HVAC
Consulting group SaveMoneyCutCarbon says results of hotel trials in the UK prove the GEM energy management system from Lodging Technology can save up to 45 percent on hotel guest room heating and ventilation costs. GEM senses when a space is occupied and controls the ambient temperature when guests are not present. It differs from simpler motion-sensor products by using a combination of infrared body-heat sensors and an algorithm to detect if a room is occupied. The GEM system uses wireless technology, invisible to the guest, to optimize the room and the system takes advantage of the fact that, after check in, most guests are out of the room for up to 50 percent of the booked time.
When guests are out of their room for longer than a specified amount of time, the GEM system kicks in and resets the room temperature to a selected energy-saving level.
SaveMoneyCutCarbon has run 24/7 trials over recent months at a London hotel and a regional hotel in Cardiff to monitor and measure the energy savings delivered by GEM. The data shows that in a 24-hour occupancy, hotels can expect 35-45 percent HVAC energy savings, according to the company.
The GEM system from US-based Lodging Technology was chosen by SaveMoneyCutCarbon after lengthy research into energy saving HVAC solutions. Up to 250,000 hotel rooms in the US use the GEM technology.
