Nephew charged with threatening to kill his uncle, a Montgomery County judge, and torch his homeKevin Lewis 3 hrs ago
CHEVY CHASE, Md. (WJLA) - A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge's life threatened, his adult nephew is now behind bars. Police say Hugo Albornoz, 35, of Chevy Chase, divulged murderous plans that included slicing Judge David Boynton's throat, shooting Boynton in the head, plus torching the county justice's million-dollar Bethesda home. "Initial indications are there was some sort of blame being placed on the judge for [Albornoz's] particular circumstances," Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office spokesman Ramon Korionoff said. On January 2, and then again on March 10, Albornoz allegedly told his father about the violent measures he wanted to take against his unsuspecting uncle. Following the second telling in March, Albornoz's father called the Montgomery County Crisis Center. Police were dispatched to the Albornoz residence where they handcuffed the 35-year-old and took him to Suburban Hospital for a mental evaluation. Prosecutors later charged Albornoz with two counts of Threatening to Injure a State Official. "If you look across the county, from Illinois and Michigan and other places, there have been judges that have been attacked, that have been seriously injured or killed even," Korionoff remarked. For instance, in April 2014, Montgomery County Circuit Court judge Audrey Creighton was kidnapped by her estranged lover, Rickley Senning, 25, formerly of Gaithersburg. Creighton, who said she feared for her life, escaped from Senning's grip outside a Darnestown Harris Teeter grocery store. Senning was later sentenced to three years in prison. "As far as making sure that the courthouse and members of the bench are protected, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department does a tremendous job, and they'll continue to monitor the situation," Korionoff concluded. Despite much speculation, police have not revealed why Albornoz allegedly schemed to kill his own uncle, judge Boynton. Albornoz does have a criminal record for offenses like assault, harassment and drug distribution. In fact, Montgomery County Circuit Court judge John Debelius III sentenced Albornoz in March 2014, to three years of probation in an assault case. His most recent arrest violates the terms of his probation. If he's found guilty of threatening to kill Judge Boynton, Albornoz could spend up to six years in prison. His next court date is April 27, in Montgomery County District Court.

N.Y. woman charged with stealing Bethesda woman's dog to recoup debtKevin Lewis
BETHESDA, Md. (WJLA) - A New York woman is charged with stealing a Bethesda woman's dog to recoup an unpaid debt. Aparna Reddy was charged Friday for the theft of a $2,000 Yorkshire Terrier. According to Montgomery County Police, the two women were long-time friends, and the dispute started over a $7,000 loan. The dispute reached its peak when a break-in occurred at the woman's Bethesda home. Days after the break-in, Reddy reportedly offered to help the woman find her dog for $5,000. Later, a call came from a blocked number telling the woman her dog would die. Detectives reviewed Reddy's cell phone records and discovered she was in Bethesda on the day of the break-in. The Yorkshire Terrier was found and returned safely to the woman.

PG Co. Police officer who died in crash had BAC of .07, reached 106 mphThe Associated Press, Richard Reeve
PALMER PARK, Md. (AP/WJLA) – Prince George's County Police say an officer who died after crashing his cruiser had a blood alcohol concentration high enough to have been charged with driving while impaired. Officers said in a news release Friday evening that speed may have also contributed to 26-year-old Officer Brennan Rabain's death on March 7. Investigators had reported that Rabain was off duty and driving his girlfriend home when he spotted a speeding car. Police said Friday that Rabain reached a speed of 106 mph during the pursuit. Officers say at 64 mph, Rabain lost control of his car, which went off the road and crashed into a wooden fence along Greenbelt Road in Lanham. The fatal impact occurred at 50 mph. Rabain's girlfriend survived the crash. Hours later, friends and family were at the scene, grieving. Chief Mark Magaw said in a statement that he does not condone Rabain's decision to drive after consuming alcohol. Police say they will never know the exact cause of the crash, but that it may have been a costly case of distracted driving under icy conditions. It happened when Rabain reached for his radio to call in to dispatch. "Reaching down and changing on a police radio, that spit second—if I had to guess—that's when he lost control," Magaw said. Investigators insist this was not a police pursuit and that alcohol was not the primary cause. They say Rabain drove about six-tenths of a mile from the time he was passed by the reported speeding car to the crash. Investigators say they sifted through video surveillance, interviewed a Park Police officer who spoke with Rabain, and a driver who followed his cruiser, who says he saw no signs the officer was intoxicated. The police department has a zero-tolerance alcohol policy in its cruisers. Civilians are permitted to ride in police cars, with previous written permission. Officers are told to use their discretion when responding to emergencies, and when making decisions whether civilian passengers should be let out beforehand. The chief says the Prince George's County Police Department will review its policies about civilians riding in police vehicles—and its pursuit policies in general. "While we will never know what role alcohol played in this crash, the outcome is tragic," Magaw concluded.

Southeast D.C. mom, boyfriend charged with torturing 9-year-old son with cerebral palsySam Ford
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - Police say a Southeast D.C. mother is responsible for torturing her 9-year-old son who has cerebral palsy. Betty Threatt and her ex-boyfriend, Lester Jackson, are accused of first-degree child abuse. According to court documents, from September 2013 until June 2014 the couple allegedly kept the boy out of school and "beat him, locked him in a room and had bound his arms and legs with duct tape." Officers who investigated the case said Threatt told them she kept the boy locked up because she was ashamed of him because of his cerebral palsy. "I'm innocent, I'm innocent ... innocent of everything," Threatt told ABC 7 News following her court appearance on Friday. Despite those comments, Threatt's lawyer said he anticipates she will plead guilty to the charges at another court appearance set for next week.

New thyroid test could aid in weight loss effortsLiz Bonis
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Sinclair) -- If people are feeling tired all the time or have trouble losing weight, a new test now available could give some additional information to help people get the right treatment. It's called the Thyroflex. Angie Montgomery recently decided to take the Thyroflex test which starts with a comprehensive questionnaire and information put into a computerized machine. Jeff Hogrefe, a pharmacist, explains, The Thyroflex machine measures whats the functionality of your thyroid. Hogrefe is a pharmacist who administers the test. It is approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration. It measures what the thyroid does in the body. Part of what made Montgomery say she felt like an ideal candidate for the additional information and additional testing was that she'd already had a blood test and that blood test did show her thyroid was within normal ranges. She said, however, she was still feeling some symptoms associated with lower thyroid; fatigue, lack of concentration, feeling cold all the time. Montgomery said, I'm cold all the time. My nose is cold, losing weight is difficult. It works with small hammer that is connected to a computer. The hammer is used to strike a tendon near the elbow which measures the rate and caliber of the reflex response to determine thyroid function. Hogrefe said generally the longer it takes for a reflex response, the more thyroid a person generally needs. Montgomery's tests from the Thyroflex came up within normal ranges. So for right now she will continue vitamin supplements and a healthy lifestyle and will follow up with her healthcare provider. This test is not covered by most medical insurance plans. The test itself is $60, but people do need a nurse practitioner visit for assessment first. That can be an additional charge.
Consumer Alert: Montel Williams' loan company in trouble with lawJohn Matarese
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Scripps) -- We're all familiar with Montel Williams, the once popular TV talk show host more recently turned pitchman. But now his company has to pay a $2 million fine, and his company will no longer be able to operate in some cities. If you watch much late night TV, you're probably familiar with William's latest gig, where he says "go to Money Mutual.com today and get up to $1,000 in your checking account by tomorrow." Since leaving his talk show, Williams has become the face of Money Mutual, an online clearinghouse that gets you in touch with payday lenders, to get instant cash if you have poor credit. A couple of years ago, Karen Kelly turned to Money Mutual. "I mean who doesn't know Montel Williams? I figured it was safe, and secure," she said. But she told me before she even locked in on a loan, she started getting charged by one of the lenders that Money Mutual sent her information to. "They charged me a membership of $149 out of my checking account, when I had only $8 in it! That was the reason I applied for the loan in the first place," she said. Now, the New York State Department of Financial Services is fining Money Mutual $2.1 million for not divulging that some of the payday loans it refers clients to can come with sky high interest rates, as high as $1,000 % a year, the complaint alleges. And the company is now banned from offering its product in New York State, for allegedly violating state lending laws. A Montel Williams spokesman says he "did not violate any law," and "is not required to pay any fines." His role is only as a "celebrity endorser," the spokesman said. And Money Mutual points out it is not a lender: It connects you with lenders, and says it is therefore not responsible for how it turns out. Despite the settlement with New York State, Williams reassuring face, and those ads, will continue to be seen by people like Karen Kelly. And the product it offers -- connecting you to lenders -- will still be offered. However, credit counselors say if you desperately need cash to get through an emergency, try to borrow from family members first. They say payday loans can push you deeper and deeper into debt, and should be a last resort only, so you don't waste your money.

2 injured in suspicious D.C. apartment fireJohn Gonzalez, ABC 7 News
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - Two people were injured in a suspicious apartment fire early Friday morning in Northeast D.C. The fire happened at an apartment complex on the 1100 block of 19th Street & Lang Place in the Trinidad neighborhood at approximately 6:56 a.m. Firefighters rescued one woman from the fire. The woman was transported to a local hospital. A firefighter was also injured and taken to the hospital. Large flames consumed at least apartments which were destroyed. Firefighters quickly arrived to battle the intense flames. Several families have been displaced by the fire. One man coming home from work arrived to find his apartment destroyed. A woman and her six-year-old daughter who live in one of the units were not home at the time of the fire this morning, but residents told fire investigators that they haven't been seen in over a week. D.C. Fire and Rescue officials tell ABC-7 that this fire is suspicious in nature and they are having a hard time locating the ignition point and the fire-line. The lowest point where the fire burned, burned all the way to the floor which officials consider unusual. Arson investigators with K-9 dogs will search the building for clues as to what may have caused the fire.

what is this? an asian radish?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can identify what vegetable is in the photo below?
It is Asian kind alright. It is commonly grown in India. When tender, both leaves and the root are used for eating. You have to pick it while the leaves and the white root crop are still tender. If you leave the plant in the ground too long, it bears bean like pods. They are cooked with potato. Remember that any vegetable, when picked tender tastes better. Same rule applies to this also. Indu Modali
Hey thanks dan! (that's actually my hand and plant in the photo)
I've got a link to my blog, which has the whole saga of the "Mystery Plant" as I've been calling it. I had someone else suggest it was a Daikon but the leaf edges are much smoother than the pictures I've seen of other Daikons, so I wasn't sure if that was right.
I actually managed to root one of the leaves off this plant, and have put it back into my garden to see if it will grow again. If it does, I'm planning to let it go to seed so I can plant more if I want to next year.
Though to be honest, I'm not sure if I will. It was far too strong a radish-flavor for my liking raw, the leaves were "spiney" enough to be annoying to prepare, and when cooked it was all a bit bland. But on the upside, it's a fantastically vigorous plant, so it's a nice thing to plant to impress people with your garden. It grows fast and big.
Plus, if I can get several going next year I'll be better able to experiment with it - harvest at different intervals, try different recipes, etc.
Here is a link that might be useful: My Webpage - Just click
I found a recipe for the root, the link is below. It is a stuffed pancake type dish, it looks rather tasty. I would think the roots would taste much better if it was grown in cooler season of the fall or spring just like salad radishes.

The historical society logo which is on each page of this site is Rainbow Bridge on old Highway 40 on Donner Summit. The real name is the Donner Summit Bridge and it was completed in 1926. Its uniqueness comes from the fact that it was, at the time, built in a compound horizontal curve of 360 ft. with a 110 ft. open spandal arch. It was also the first bridge built with Federal Forest Highway Funds. The cost; $40,000.
The Logo was drawn by Nancy Oudegeest
They Came for the Same Reasons We Do
"The air has a fresh crispness about it that gives a new life to the visitor whether he has come from the fertile plains or the foggy city. And no wonder, for though this be called Summit Valley, there are seven thousand feet between you and sea level. Seven thousand feet nearer heaven and so much nearer purity. It is a relief to….look up to the stars, nowhere brighter than here, with only the dark pines closing in the distance… The air redolent with the perfume of fresh grass and wild flowers; and aromatic with pine needles. It is a physical pleasure to breathe, a 'delight to exist'… It is small wonder that a millionaire [Mark Hopkins]… should confess to be happier and healthier here than in the handsomest house on California Street. Nob Hill, to the sierras indeed."

Many yellow leaves!!
My H. rosa-sinensis is having a major problem. Its leaves are turning yellow overnight at an alarming rate and dropping like flies. It has been healthy otherwise, aside from the occasional aphid attack, which I take care of with a soapy spray. It is still blooming like crazy, yet I just cleaned up at least 3 dozen leaves from the ground. I don't think it is chlorosis, since the whole leaf goes yellow, including the veins. Some leaves drop while still somewhat green as well. I have fertilized it and water it well. One thing I did do recently was add sulphur to the soil to acidify it a little, as we tend to have soil with a high pH. But the leaves were yellowing somewhat even before this. Thanks in advance!
You don't have anything to worry about as long as there's new leaves showing up.
Hibiscus leaves live about 8 months, then turn yellow and fall off. Sometimes they seem to do it all at the same time, I'm sure just to scare the crap out of us! They do like attention you know.....
Thanks, Barb. Well, if it was trying to scare the crap out of me, it succeeded, lol. It had been dropping leaves daily, maybe 7 or 8 leaves a day. But the other morning I went outside and it looked like practically the whole plant was yellow and there were 30-40 yellow leaves lying all over the ground. Sure got my attention fast! Today it seems a bit better. I only cleaned up maybe half a dozen leaves.

New Sans, maybe Ballyi
pirate_girl(Zone7 NYC)February 5, 2012
Hi Folks,
Here's my latest new Sans. I believe it's S. Ballyi, or at least that's what I was sold by person who shared it w/ my group. Cost me $4.
I like the shape, kind of different for a Sans.; grows plantlets on stolons like baby Spider plants.
Interesting, well developed orange roots
Had some odd green felt bits in w/ the roots w/ I removed.
Hi Karen,
Congratulations on your new acquisition. It certainly looks like S. ballyi - a small, wonderful species. I have plants from a few different collections, and each one has a distinctive look from the other. The most distinctive are the cultivars 'Minnie' with very short leaves, and 'Tom Grumbley' with silver leaves.
Marlon Machado.

Texas boasts strong high school graduation rate
The national high school graduation rate has reached a historic high, according to new data from the U.S. Department of Education.
And Texas is near the top of the class.
The report by the National Center for Education Statistics released Monday found that nationwide 80 percent of students received their high school diploma in 2012.
In Texas, that number was even higher — 88 percent of students graduated in 2012, second only to Iowa and tied with three other states.
The most encouraging news for the Lone Star State comes when you drill down into the numbers, revealing consistently high graduation levels across demographic groups, including students from African-American (84 percent), Hispanic (84 percent) and economically-disadvantaged (85 percent) communities, all well above national averages.
Echoing the words of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who called the report " a profound milestone," Texas Commissioner of Education Michael L. Williams lauded the state's success in an agency press release. But he also suggested that there is "more we can do to help every student earn their high school diploma."
That's certainly true.
Statistics show that high school graduates fair much better in the job market than their diploma-less counterparts. A 2009 report by an education think tank, The Future of Children, found that earnings of high school drop-outs are about two-thirds of high school graduates.
A diploma can significantly improve long-term outcomes for individuals and society. Still, increasing the distribution of diplomas is but one measure of progress.
Students must graduate with the knowledge and skills they need to enter college, technical school or the workforce after graduation.
That means keeping standards high and ensuring schools have the resources to effectively serve communities of varying needs.
In Texas, these issues are, and will continue to be, the source of much debate.
Solutions that adequately address school funding, curricula, testing and standards all require constant attention.
But the new graduation data suggest the Lone Star State is getting something right.

Spiritual Practice and Its Prominence - Part 9 by Sri Sri Muralidhara swamiji
Expand Messages
Radhe Krishna All,
There is an incident in Shirdi Sai Baba's life. A sanyasi (ascetic) who did not lead the life as befitting his 'ashrama' came to have Baba's darshan. But Baba chased him away. Baba did not wish to even look at such a person. But this sanyasi kept sending messages to Baba of his deep desire to meet him. Finally, one day Baba sent for him and advised him to do Bhagavata Parayana. The sanyasi did the same and returned to Baba.
Baba sent him back saying that it should be done with concentration. Once again the sanyasi did Bhagavata Parayana(reciting) and returned to Baba. This time he had shown a little more concentration. Baba sent him back for rendering the Bhagavatam with total concentration. This time the sanyasi did the parayana with total concentration and returned to Baba.
Baba called him to his side. The sanyasi went up and fell down dead on Baba's lap! He had attained Moksha! Through concentrated effort one can attain Moksha.
Did not the 16 disciples of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa attain the end goal?
Did not disciples of Ramana Maharishi - Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni, Muruganar, Viswanatha Swami, Yogi Ramaiah and many others attain?
Did not Aurobindo's disciples attain the goal?
Everyone is seeking only happiness through marriage, job, education, etc. But the only happiness is Self realization. When I speak on a particular path I will speak very highly of that path. This does not mean that the path shown to another is low. One should have no 'chalanam' (restlessness of mind-doubt). This afternoon I visited a devotee who has been hospitalized. There I found innumerable people suffering from various kinds of diseases. But here we are endowed with normal faculties and enjoying good health.
Even while all our faculties are under our control should we not do sadhana?
!!! Will continue !!!
Pl watch H.H. Sri Sri Muralidhara swamiji's Mass Prayer discourse along with Maha Mantra kirtan conducted in Vellore Tamilnadu on January 1st 2013. Wonderful discourse...Pl watch and share......

Women's watershoes
from Terre Haute, IN
on 10/16/2014
I wear them in the pool during water aerobics, and they help with standing and moving during the exercises. I only wear them in the pool, so I take them off and dry them after the pool.

Women''s water shoes

on 10/10/2014
I like wearing them in the pool at the YMCA, while taking water aerobics classes. They make it easier to stand in the pool and move about.
love the workout I get with the way these shoes grip the pool floor!

from Jacksonville, FL
on 9/10/2014
Very comfortable, enable much more traction during water aerobics, dry quickly. I think they are close to true size, but glad I ordered down as I usually wear a half-size.
great water shoe
from Deerbrook wi
on 12/10/2013
I really like the fit, I did get a size smaller so it wouldn't come off my foot in the water.. it was good advise from another swimmer. I had another pair of shoes that tied and that was a nuisance. So having the shoe slip on and off was a good idea.
Awesome shoes!
Rebecca M.
from Gillette, WY
on 12/14/2012
These are for my 92 year old mother as she does water walking. She LOVES them - have been a huge help to her. These don't fall off her feet as her former ones did.
These shoes are great!
from Mpls
on 11/6/2012
I recently started taking Aqua Fitness and had sore feet afterwards. I noticed alot of folks were wearing water shoes and set off to find a pair - which isn't easy in MN in October. I discovered SwimOutlet.com and have been working out in comfort ever since. They fit snugly so I can kick and run and do quick turns. They also dry very quickly, so if I do a water workout 2 days in a row, I'm don't have to wear wet shoes.
Just what I hoped for
from Stouffville, Ontario, CAD
on 9/4/2012
- the fit is perfect. They are very comfy and the soles are super grippy.
from Wisconsin
on 7/31/2012
The water shoes fit fine. They have a nice tread so you don't slip. The insole slips out when you take them off. They dry pretty quickly. Like them very much.
These are great!
from Galena, IL
on 7/14/2012
I worried about these water shoes being too narrow, but the stretch tops acommodate wide feet which I have. They are great!

LOOKING for: Salsa Tomatoes
I love making salsa and seem to make it different every time. I grow everything for my salsa in our backyard. After giving away so much salsa last year, and having everyone asking me for my recipe, I decided to write it down this year :) However, the one thing I have yet to prefect in my salsa (in my opinion) is finding the right tomatoes to use. I want a more liquid consistency to the salsa but have never used water. I usually end up having way too much "garden" in the salsa, but everyone else loves it. I want to do it right this year, but have not been able to find what tomato is best for my salsa. Please help if you can!
Hmmm. I tend to use any kind EXCEPT Romas and if I have too much "goop" I take some of it out. Romas just don't seem to have much "tomato sweetness". If you want a recipe to can, just search for Annie's Salsa, it's very popular on several of the forums.
I use whatever I have growing in my garden which can be anything from Great White to Rutgers, Bonny Best to Pineapple, Mortgage Lifter to Black Krim. The better your tomatoes taste, the better your salsa will taste.

Property is in demand due to reduced inventory, as there are more potential buyers than sellers. Bidding wars with other buyers are possible, and listings begin to sell at greater than the asking price.
Rent prices are relatively stable, and availability is good. If your yearly income is around $40,000, you can afford to rent in this market. Rent prices have increased by 4% over the past 3 months. This is 66% lower than the state average of $1,224 and 220% lower than the country average of $2,358.
