Man Kills Daughter Over Video Game
Jack Thompson commentary will undoubtedly be forthcoming.
Spellman, who also goes by the name Anwar Salahuddin, became so enraged that he punched the girl repeatedly and possibly threw her across the room as well. When Alayiah's mother returned home, Spellman told her that the child was sleeping. The police were later told that the young girl had fallen off the bed, but quickly found that there was no evidence to support that claim. Spellman has been charged with murder.
While this is going to create the usual s-storm for the gaming community, the real tragedy here is that an unbalanced and unfit person was left caring for a child in the first place. Apparently an anonymous caller had already tipped off the Department of Human Services that something was awry in that household, but routine investigations failed to turn up anything to warrant intercession by authorities.
How does this happen? Is the system so broken that nobody noticed the child's father had an insanely violent temper? How did nobody, and I don't just mean authorities, but family members as well, see this coming?

This is just outrageous!Posted: Nov 27, 2007 12:00AM PST by Guitar_Villain0118
My dad just barely heard about this incident, and he started talking to me about making right choices and what-not... Turns out, my uncle was in the same WoW guild (cell?) as this guy. My dad made me cancel my Xbox Live subscription over it.
To the people who think this kind of thing is funny!Posted: Oct 25, 2006 12:00AM PST by RingoadvancedSP
You deserve to be put in a straight jacket and locked in a rubber room because you have something extremely wrong in your brain. I'm a 22yr old gamer/father with a 2 year old daughter and all of my electronics are out of reach for her. And besides her safety comes before any game I might currently be playing. A Game can be saved, reset, or replayed...her life can't! So yet again to all of you who find this kind of thing funny, Get A Life and never touch another video game because you are part of the problem!

Idiots shouldnt play games.Posted: Sep 19, 2006 12:00AM PST by TheShinyObject
If this guy is dangerously violent twards his own family that anything could have triggerd his rage. Maybe they should look deeper into it. I bet drugs also played a factor here. METH maybe? We all know it was'nt weed. HAHAHA

Jeez. I've gotten mad in my time, but HONESTLY...I've had my sisters unplug my PS2 after 4 hours of (of course) save-less hard work, but I managed to content myself with screaming into my pillow and not speaking to them for two days. How could anyone not realise that this guy's temper was that bad? That poor girl. I hoped he gets butt-raped, and then he's ITCHY IN BAD PLACES for the rest of his life. Itchy...and covered in pus. Yes. I'm planning out a much more gruesome death for him in my head, but I'd rather not say, as I believe half of it is illegal in 47 states.
RE: i guess i'm wrong legally but...Posted: Sep 18, 2006 12:00AM PST by Gold_Ultima
I'm with you 100% on this. If it was legal, I would get together with you and seriously do that shit. I think it's only fair that whatever crime people do they have something of equal amount torture done to them. If they kill someone, it should be in the exact same fashion it was done to the other person.
Very sadPosted: Sep 18, 2006 12:00AM PST by bay-burnah
that an innocent child had to die by the hands of another individual that had poor, or now proper parenting, or positive influence in his life so that he would have known that hurting a person is bad... he does need to get the beat down, but he needs God, and to be reformed.... and then he needs to be beaten again..
Man that guy deserves 2 sufferPosted: Sep 18, 2006 12:00AM PST by shiverz
What that guy did was uncalled for, I hope his cell mates break his fingers and beat him to an inch of his life, i hope they don't kill him i hope make him suffer like he made his infant daughter suffer. That F---ing bastard man that guys a piece shit that should suffer for the rest life.
i guess i'm wrong legally but...Posted: Sep 18, 2006 12:00AM PST by Vangerdahast
i think he should get punched in the face by someone who is 20 times stronger than him multiple times looking at him angrily while he is terrified, surprising him because he was just crawling and looking around(like a baby might do). then when his fear of continued pain leads to fear of death because he is almost dead, for him to get thrown with enough momentum that he used on his child(like high in the air dropping him down 2 flights of steel stairs) and let him die a lonely crumpled mess. that is justice, nobody needs to see it, but i would be satisfied to know it had happened. my daughter is 3 months, and if i see anyone abusing their child, i might go to jail because i will use every foreign object WWF style to beat your ass down.
You Know What?Posted: Sep 18, 2006 12:00AM PST by falcon_x
I hope that guy gets whats coming to him. I have a 2 year old son and he would always try to pull my Xbox down off my tv stand. Did I beat him? No. Did I yell at him? No. I just told him not to touch it and kept telling him eveytime he reached for it, and he learned to leave it alone. I also moved it closer to the floor just to be on the safe side because if the wires were out and he walked by and tripped over them I didn't want my systems (Xbox, Ps2, Gamecube) to fall on top of him hurting him. That was when he was younger but now he wants to grab a controller and he wants to play, and I think it's cute. True he may use my XBox as a chair (and yes I have a pic of this) but I dont yell at him cuz he doesn't know, I just tell him not to sit there. With kids you can't yell at them for every little thing. The world is big and new to them and they want to explore. And punching your kid is UNEXCUSABLE. But the media is gonna target the video game community saying that is what caused the girls death completely ignoring the obvious signs that there were problems in that household that had to be addressed. My heart goes out to the little girl and her mother. And all you gamers out there that are also parents, hug your kids a little tighter and NEVER follow this guys footsteps.
The Dumb FuckPosted: Sep 17, 2006 12:00AM PST by JuTiasZero
Now he's full of bullshit. I have two daughters ages 2 and 1 and they've destroyed almost every single game System I own, and they are still alive WHY??? Because I have self control, that dipshit will get fucked by D block. first off, If you are a parent who also is a videogamer, get your children involved in your activity, 2nd GET ALL WIRELESS, ()IF IT AIN'T WIRELESS ITS LIFESPAN WILL BE GONE.) AND FUCKIN IMPORTANTLY SECURE YOUR SHIT!!! For the love of god she was 1 and a half. the Xbox is Shiney with a big green light She will touch it DEE DEEDEE. He just made being a parent and/or gamer extra difficult. I hate him as a parent and a video gamer. he could have invested in an extra tv TelleTubbies You stupid fuck that show hypnotizes and teach kids to kill there parents (lol) but on a serious note I would like my shot at him, Hostel style!!! I think God will understand. R.I.P little girl, your safer away from your daddy, and my condolences to the family, we wish more torture for the rest of his life and soul.
BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!Posted: Sep 17, 2006 12:00AM PST by kidsam28
Hey lets blame the entertainment center maker. After all they are the ones who did not put a raised edges on it. If it had raised edges the X-Box would not have fallen and the kid would be alive. Or maybe blame the makers of the carpet on the floor. They should have made the carpet softer. You know the person that wrote the headline should have thought it out before writing it. The only person to blame is the stupid father. After all he should have been watching his child. If he was watching her, he would have seen her heading toward the X-Box. Dumb ass(father) I hope he burns in hell for it.
its not the goverments fault.Posted: Sep 17, 2006 12:00AM PST by Venomus
I can see how some one would get extremly mad at putting alot of time into a game, and having the system fall and break. Yes you would be very mad, but when a little child is the one who caused it, it should make you take a big step back and get a grip of yourself. What a shame.
Videogames not to blamePosted: Sep 17, 2006 12:00AM PST by mrsvend83
the asshole didnt kill the daugther because he was playing a game that had violent content in it. the video games content had nothing to do with the death. what had to do with the death was that, the dumbass cant control himself. jack thompson might say that he was trained by a game to kill the daughter, but in no way did a game cause him to act the way he did.
Incorrect HeadingPosted: Sep 17, 2006 12:00AM PST by Hulk_God
This heading should be. "Government fails to see the signs" The man did not kill the daughter over a video game persay, he killed her cause he was unstable, he only needed one small spark to be set off. Also the fact someone leaves an unstable person in the care of a child. Will never have good results. It could have been anything, not just a video game console, that would have most likely set this man off. People need to wake up. Gaming is great, but like most other items too much of a good thing or in the excess of something. Is not good for you. No matter how well the person may try to tell someone all its points as to why they are doing what they are doing.

Amen, gamewiz1Posted: Sep 16, 2006 12:00AM PST by WhyYouLoveMe
You're exactly right. The ONLY person/entity at fault here is the father. Plain and simple. No one could have prevented it and there's no use blaming the "system" or the family. Tragic things happen and we're left to deal with them the best we can. We MUST be harder on people like this.
My vote,Posted: Sep 16, 2006 12:00AM PST by gamewiz1
I'd say that this would be a great time to bring back some of the old school justice that was found in the bible. I'd say do the exact same thing to him. Beat him unmercifully, then have something throw him into a wall. This man is clearly sick, and the game didn't influence it. His anger is the problem. It wouldn't have mattered what the kid broke, as long as he loved it, he would have lost it. Blaming games is just insane in this situation. My heart goes out to the mother, and condolences to the family. Life in prison is just too soft for this looser.

A load of crap!Posted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by Kurgan10
The death of the poor little girl has a helluva lot more to do with her killer/father being a human defect than it does being a player of video games.Why is it today there has always got to be a scapegoat for a person's lapse of mental stability and/or lack or responsibility. The guy obviously is a morally bankrupt,heartless monster that cared more about the condition of his video game system than his 18 month old daughter that was a human being and half his blood. The cops ought to find out who ignored the anonymous call that was made about the situation before this happened and press charges on them as well because imo they are indirectly responsible in more ways than 1. I hope they give the bastard a death sentence and give his video game system to a flaming gay couple.
Disappointment....Posted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by GhostSpartan000
Ok, so some psycho takes his anger out on a baby. First off, if you get so mad that you have to use brute force on another human being, you shouldn't be allowed to watch the child in the first place. Second, you should be able to recognize anger management issues before they arrive. And most importantly: Why the hell would you do this to an infant over something they're not going to remember? Think about this for a second. When babies do random things(slobber, cry, poke, grab) there's a good chance they haven't developed a conscience telling them why they did that. This person needs to be severely punished for beating that baby. I hope he gets what is coming to him in prison.
The "system" has almost nothing to do with thisPosted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by WhyYouLoveMe
Why is the "system" at fault? WTF? Since when can't someone be responsible for their own dumb behavior? The only person we should be blaming is the father. Don't even think for 2 seconds that the "system" can prevent every bad thing from happening. It's a tragic even that happened. Let's deal with it. :(
OMG PLEASE!!!!Posted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by Cajun504
This isnt a games fault. THis man had problems....obviously.I mean on, the kid didnt know any better, he on the other hand did. Any sick freak that would beat his young infant daughter to death for pulling down a game system is sick. THis goes back to the whole vioelnce is bred by lifestyle not videogames. He shouldnt have a had a game or a kid for that matter, sounds like he should have benn in a padded room a long time. My Condolences go out to the baby and the rest of her family.
This is a very misleading headlinePosted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by Bubba10k
I can only assume it was chosen on purpose. It serves no purpose but to be alarmist and attempt to garner attention. "Video games" had nothing to do with this fatality. No where in the article does it even mention that the dude was even using the Xbox at the time. And it certainly has nothing to do with any particular game. A child could just as likely pull a blender, radio, iron, or just about anything else on to their head. Do everyone a favor and change the headline to something appropriate. It's unfortunate a child died, but ultimately the death was the result of a demented psycho's actions, not a video game.
SURE THE XBOX KILLED THE BABYPosted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by tpof78
C'mon cant you see. It wasn't the guy at all. Them damn videogame machines..This happened to me once..My kid brother was walking by and the controller cord snagged on his leg (it actually jumped at his leg, but my doctor is trying to supress those memories) and was pulled to the floor, causing it to hurt my xbox. : ( The xbox turned to me and began to cry..asking me to return the payne..So I immeadiatly got up and kicked my brothers ass. These systems are alive man, they really are.. ps. I hope this homeboy drowns in his own blood and gets a psp shoved up his ass for his actions...oh yeah and my brother is ok.
a veritable shitstormPosted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by sonic_ray
Like hell the blame would go to something as nebulous as psychological instability--not while a scapegoat as contemporary and unproven as gaming exists. Literal commentary: If gaming takes the heat on this one, expect every pastime hereafter to be held accountable for society's ills. Likewise, this could halt all research on theoretical psychology and have it focus on more concrete applications; that would then lead to... my God, I can see how easy it is for just about anyone to read too much into this. Now if only I could remember what happened in Montreal a week or two ago.

TragicPosted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by chris1020
I don't usually post any reactions here at 1up, but as a father of two young children, I must say that this is tragic news. A young life lost due to a fool who could not control his temper is the tragedy here. Perhaps an expensive family heirloom could have sent him reeling, or juice spilled on an important document. Children make mistakes, and patience can be tough to find sometimes. Clearly this man needed help before this tragedy. What is shameful is that people like **** ******** will probably use this little girls death as a way to further his own agenda. He should really retain some dignity and go back to straight up ambulance chasing. At least it would be seen as a hard day's work.
Videogames are NOT to blame here.Posted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by onlynameicanget
The guy is a grade-A psycho. If his daughter had accidentally damaged something else, the same thing would have happened to her. As luck would have it, she happened to pull the plug on an Xbox, and now we'll inevitably have to endure Jack Thompson spewing crap out his mouth again.
here's the deal...Posted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by paulzeppelin
crazy people are going to do crazy crap. whether they do something crazy with a steak knife or something crazy with a video game, they will do something crazy. nothing more can be said except just that. anything will push them (a mental) over and because a videogame was involved doesnt mean it was more than a mere catalyst. this guy wouldve have killed eventually whether its his daughter or family or other. furthermore, while a connection could be construed it is irrelevent, crazy people do crazy shit. politicians, lawyers and common people with common sense should understand that. to say anything other than that would be ridiculous or just a conspicuous and motivated move to put forth a liberal agenda.

Stupid People Shouldn't BreedPosted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by Cpt_Obvious
Any person that would punch a 17-month child in the face deserves to be castrated and then thrown into the prison block filled with the most hardened and "lonely" criminals there are. The fact that the kid knocked over the xbox is just the kind of patsy that the media loves. They wouldn't say boo about if the kid knocked over a fish bowl, or a stack of dishes. The only other attribute that would've made this story a media gold mine is if the xbox also crushed the man's carton of cigarettes.
Truly Heartbreaking...Posted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by traveler
It's a shame this event will probably become a war between congressmen and gamers rather than the tragedy it should be taken as. I do not know enough about the man or event in question to pass judgment as many here seemingly can, so I won't. All I will say is that I don't believe this man's entire life should be decided by his most heinous act. Rest in peace, Alayiah.

if this little girl had spilled her daddy's beer while he was watching NASCAR. This shouldn't be connected with gaming. If someone gets THAT angry when there video game gets cut-off suddenly, they severe mental issues. Inmates frown upon child molesters and child murders like crazy. This man will be killed in prison for sure, and it will be a well deserved death at that.
The Xbox didn't kill her.Posted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by M3g4tr0n
That's really sad that someone could become that upset. I have a daughter, and she's close to crawling-age. I've made sure to child-proof my house, but accidents happen. For him to become so upset that he kills his child, there has to be something going on with him. I doubt it was the damaged Xbox that drove him to murder.
How can this be video game relatedPosted: Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM PST by ElricX

but just cuz you are violent and/hatefull dosn't mean you will kill someone. yes o am a violent person but you won't get beat down unless you did some thing to cause it. but yes you should not be playing XBOX if you will be the caretaker for a young child. like i say though just cuz you are violent dosn't mean you will kill someone.

punishment should fit crimePosted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by anopolis

If one takes the life of another is such a fashion then he/she should then be forfeit of thier own right to live. no qualms about it pity we live in a day when there are those opposed to capitol punishment, with horrible monsters like that among our numbers I cant fathom why anyone would not readily "flip the switch"
*sigh*Posted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by ExpertPenguin
I don't see why the fact that a video game was involved had any relevance in what was obviously a very unstable man being left to care for a child. Why mention the game at all? This is just what we need. More negative press. We may see what the problem is, but I have a feeling the public will lock on to the words "video game" and "murder", and cast aside all rational thinking for yet another full blown assault on this industry.
MotivationsPosted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by chrisrayholly
Hearing about someone doing such a thing breaks the heart of anyone. An infants very existence being ended for any reason is atrocious and shows us all time and time again that life isn't fair though most of us try. The even sicker thing about such actions are the people who see such a thing and find a way to make a name for themselves through the tragedy. Saying "What the FUCK was an asshole like that doing with a baby!" isn't going to make money. Such a statement is just common sense, with such actions being so against the continuation of our species that just saying killing babies is wrong seems unnecessary. There are some out there who without even having to think it just know that the videogame industry has money and blaming them whenever a person fails themselves or is failed by society is a way to get your name on TV. It is like the action of killing babies is only as horrible as it is usable for someone's gain. Anyone who doesn't want to say that maybe society fucks up can just cop out and get paid, atepping on others in the process. I fully understand that many people in the any entertainment industry can be a bunch of pussies relying on whatever the latest infamy is for fame instead of creative integrity, but that doesn't mean that passing a law against such people will do anything other than give people the wrong idea about what is what. Getting our society thinking in such a way that they look to whoever has the most money when it comes to plame doesnt stop the fact that in the end, when everyone gets their two cents thrown in, that Tyrone Spellman is a baby killing sociopath (yes, killing a baby because is messed with YOUR xbox does indeed make you a sociopath)and sociopaths shouldn't be left alone with kids. It was him. Regardless of the reason it was him.
When He Goes To PrisonPosted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by mopdazzle
This guy won't even make it to the death penalty. When he goes to prison guards will anounce it to the fellow inmates and hopefully the will punch him and throw him across the room until near death. I can't believe a human could do this. Garenteed this guy won't make it to the death penalty because hes going to die before it from others.

Painfully misnomered?Posted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by appleberry
You know, if it were any other piece of technological hardware that the poor child had tugged and dropped, the headlines and media concept certainly wouldn't have been "[...] over a DVD player" or some crap like that. That broken piece of hardware that he valued so much more than for the welfare of his daughter was....eh, KINDA HIS FAULT. Good grief. People like that make me sick. How could he?

Only one thing this man deservesPosted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by buckrogers_21st
This is quite possibly the most horrible thing I have ever heard of. Nothing in this world can justify what this man did to a child, let alone his own baby. Wherever he ends up, if he doesn't get the death penalty someone really needs to stomp his crazy ass the fuck out.

Ok, here's a clear cut case. He's obviously crazy, couldn't control his emotions, and took it out on his baby.

This can't be linked to video games because.....Posted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by evilchicken
For all we know he was playing MADDEN. It wasn't the violence in the game that spawned the anger, it was the fact that whatever he was doing, weather it be beating the last level in sonic, or scoring a touchdown in madden was inturrupted by the child and forced him to lose progress. It's a temper issue, not a video game violence issue.
WTFPosted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by KinGSing69

ClarificationPosted: Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM PST by digitaldick
"In the case of Alayiah Turman, however, it's sadly very clear that video games did, in fact, play a key role in her death." Video games didn't play a role at all in this tragedy. Although the item happened to be a game console, it could have been anything, like a stereo component. The temperment and instability of this man is what caused the girl's death. There is no link between playing violent games and violent behavior here, at lease not as presented here or on the surface.

A true running attack? From the Patriots?
From the moment Stevan Ridley touched the ball on the first play from scrimmage Friday night in South Philadelphia, the Patriots offense felt different.
And what Patriots fans saw had to bring a smile to their face, even if it was one meaningless preseason game. They saw power blocking for a running game that exploded for six runs to open the game. Ridley broke through the line of scrimmage for 62 yards to immediately set up the Patriots for their first touchdown of the game.
"My offensive line, I always give credit to them and the quarterback because without the group in front of me, I couldn't do it," Ridley said. "They blocked it right and the hole was wide open and all I had to do was run right through it."
But the Patriots didn't go play-action with Tom Brady. They instead pounded the ball five more times before Ridley went in off left tackle from one yard out.
Friday night, Ridley finished with eight carries for 92 yards. LeGarrette Blount ran 11 times for 101 yards and two touchdowns, including an electrifying 51-yard cut-back improv job that you almost never see in a Patriots offense. Quarterback Tim Tebow showed he can still run, carrying it four times for 31 yards.
"They're big, strong, powerful runners that want the ball in their hands and when they get into a rhythm, they were able to go out and make a bunch of plays," Brady said. "Rid has done that since he got here. Shane's done that. LeGarrette's done that. Brandon's made some runs. It's fun to watch."
The Patriots gained 248 yards on 31 carries and gained 12 of their 25 first downs on the ground.
"I think we got a lot of production out of our running backs, and actually we got good production out of the receivers, tight ends, quarterbacks, running backs, we were able to get good balance on offense so that's great," coach Bill Belichick said. "Anytime you can run the ball that helps everything else. We blocked well, the receivers blocked well, the backs ran well, we had a few good plays."
Yes, it's only preseason but the message was sent loud and clear: The Patriots want and need to show they can run the ball this season.
"That's critical to run the ball when they know you're going to run it," Brady said. "We had big runs, we had short yardage runs where we needed it, and we ran it on the goal line. That establishes the identity of the team, how well you run it and how well you stop the run. All those guys did a great job."
If Friday night is any indication, maybe the Patriots have finally decided that the only way to survive this transitional year is a meaningful running game. The real question is: Will it last into the season?
In years past, the Patriots and a running game seemed at times a oxymoron. The Patriots and Tom Brady said they wanted balance. They, at times, would appear committed to it.
But when you have the game's most feared quarterback and the most versatile group of receivers and receiving backs, it's hard not to think pass first and run it occasionally, especially when behind in games. That's the most telling indication of a team's willingness to stick with the run game. If the Patriots ever fell behind in a game by more than three points, you could almost bet your mortgage that they would fall back on the arm of Brady to make up the difference.
But not this year, not when you are missing the likes of Rob Gronkowski, Brandon Lloyd, Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker and Danny Woodhead. All five of them had a good degree of chemistry with Brady. While Brady is developing that with Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce and, as we saw Friday, Kenbrell Thompkins, the Patriots can fall back on a varied running game.
In Stevan Ridley, you have a traditional tailback who can run between the tackles, read lanes and make people miss at the line of scrimmage. In Shane Vereen, you have a bigger back with blazing speed, who showed again Friday night that he can catch the ball in traffic. And in LeGarrette Blount, you have a 6-foot, 250-pound beast with a chip on his shoulder who can run people over. Those are three running backs that, barring injury, all figure to be on the roster in Buffalo on Sept. 8.
And we haven't even included Leon Washington or Brandon Bolden.
Last year, Ridley showed what he was capable of when he didn't fumble, carrying it 290 times for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Patriots gained 2,184 yards and ran for 25 yards in 2012. Those numbers could go up if the Patriots are run-heavy to start the season.
The Patriots showed something Friday night that should excite all of their fans and more importantly, themselves. They showed a diverse running game that can attack, something they haven't had in earnest since Corey "clock killing" Dillon and the Super Bowl XXXIX champs.

Murray LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Fax: (617) 626-1 181 http://www.mass.gov/envir Ian A. Bowles SECRETARY March 22, 2007 FINAL RECORD OF DECISION PROJECT NAME : Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan - Elizabeth Pole School, Harris Street Residences PROJECT MUNICIPALITY : Taunton PROJECT WATERSHED : Taunton River EOEA NUMBER : 13897 PROJECT PROPONENT : City of Taunton Public Works Department DATE NOTICED IN MONITOR : January 9,2007 Pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (G. L. c. 30, ss. 61-62H) and Section 1 1.10 of the MEPA regulations (301 CMR 1 1.00), I hereby grant a Phase I Waiver to allow an initial phase of the project to proceed, pending the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the project. In a separate Certificate issued on February 22, 2007, I set forth the outstanding issues related to the project that can be addressed by permitting agencies. Project History The Certificate on the ENF for the Taunton Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP) required that prior to completion of MEPA review for the Taunton CWMP, projects located within the City of Taunton that seek sewer extension permits from the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) will also require a Phase I waiver from the EIR requirement for the Taunton CWMP. The project proponent has requested such a waiver in a Notice of Project Change (NPC) published in the Environmental Monitor on January 9,2007, and has provided additional information in support of that request. EOEA #I 3897 Final Record Of Decision March 22.2007 Phase I Waiver Request: E. Pole Elementary School and Harris Street Pursuant to Section 1 1.1 1 of the MEPA Regulations, the proponent is requesting a Phase I Waiver to connect sewer service to: the Elizabeth Pole School, an existing City of Taunton facility building, and ten existing single-family residences on Harris Street. According to the proponent, this Phase I project will generate 14,000 gallons of wastewater per day, and is located within a Priority Needs Area (Area U) identified within the Taunton CWMP. Peak flows estimated from the project will be approximately 33,000 gallons per day (gpd). The project will consist of a sewage pumping station, 4,450 feet (0.84 miles) of 6-inch force main and approximately 2,750 feet (0.52 miles) of 8-inch gravity sewer. Portions of the sewer main and pump station installation will occur , within buffer zone to wetland resource areas and the 200-foot Riverfront Area associated with the Taunton River. Placement of sewer mains will occur within the existing paved public right of way, with standard erosion and sedimentation controls installed to prevent impact to adjacent wetland resource areas. The wastewater flow from the project will be conveyed to the Taunton Wastewater Treatment Plant (Taunton WWTP) for treatment and disposal via a sewer extension from the project site to the City of Taunton's existing sewer collection system. Section 1 1.1 1 of the MEPA regulations provides that the Secretary rnay waive any provision or requirement of 301 CMR 11.OO not specifically required by MEPA, and may impose appropriate and relevant conditions or restrictions, provided that the Secretary finds that strict compliance with the provision or requirement would: (a) result in an undue hardship for the proponent, unless based on delay in compliance by the proponent; and (b) not serve to avoid or minimize Damage to the Environment. In the case of a partial waiver of a mandatory EIR review threshold that will allow the proponent to proceed with phase one of the project prior to preparing an ELR, the Secretary, at a minimum, must base this finding on a determination that: 1. the potential impacts of phase one of the project, taken alone, are insignificant; 2. ample and unconstrained infrastructure facilities and services exist to support phase one of the project; 3. the project is severable, such that phase one does not require the implementation of any other future phase of the project or restrict the means by which potential environmental impacts from any other phase of the project may be avoided, minimizcd or mitigated; and 4. the agency action on phase one will contain terms such as a condition or restriction in a permit, contract or other relevant document approving or allowing the agency action, or other evidence satisfactory to the Secretary, so as to ensure due compliance with MEPA and 301 CMR 1 1.OO prior to commencement of any other phase of the project. EOEA #I 3897 Final Record Of Decision March 22,2007 Findings I have carefully reviewed the Phase I Waiver Request, supporting documentation, and written comments. 1. The proposed project will generate 14,000 gpd of wastewater and will involve the construction of a sewage pumping station, 4,450 feet (0.84 miles) of 6-inch force main and approximately 2,750 feet (0.52 miles) of 8-inch gravity sewer. Portions of this construction will occur within existing rights of way, or cross country through the E. Pole Elementary School construction site. The project area is located within an identified Priority Needs Area (Area U) as determined by the Taunton CWMP. The proponent will be required to implement erosion and sedimentation controls during the construction process to limit impact to adjacent wetland resource areas, including the 200-foot Riverfront Area associated with the Taunton River. The proponent will provide 100-year floodplain storage compensation contiguous to the project site at a minimum of a 1 to 1 ratio as mitigation for floodplain loss. Work proposed within wetland resource areas will be conducted in accordance with applicable performance standards outlined within the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act Regulations. 3. The Division of Marine Fisheries has indicated that a portion of the project work area abuts the Taunton River, which contains diadromous fish populations. The proponent will take action to ensure that no runoff from construction activities be allowed to enter the river. If any activities, such as the construction of the 6' PVC line trench, tight tank removal or fill, will contribute to turbidity in the river, a no activity time-of-year restriction from March 15Ihthrough July 30Ihwill be placed on any construction occurring within the 100 foot buffer zone of the Taunton River. 4. According to the proponent, the Taunton Water Pollution Control Facility currently has sufficient capacity to convey and treat the anticipated flows proposed as part of this Phase I waiver. The proponent will participate in the City's inflow and infiltration (111) removal program to the extent determined by the City of Taunton. 5. The project may require a Sewer Extension Permit from MassDEP. I anticipate that MassDEP's permit review process will contain terms such as a condition or with MEPA and 301 CMR 1 1.00, if restriction so as to ensure due con~pliance applicable. EOEA # 1 3897 Final Record Of Decision March 22,2007 Based on these findings, it is my judgment that the waiver request has merit and meets the tests established in Section 1 1.11. The permitting agencies have sufficient authority to ensure that the proponent complies with the findings of this Certificate. Therefore, I grant the waiver requested for this project, subject to the above findings. March 22,2007 Date Ian A.

The Effects of Sucrose on Ethanol Consumption in Ethanol Naïve and Non-naïve Rats
Date: May 2014
Creator: Dove, Rachel Jolene
Description: Sucrose fading and intermittent access are two common procedures that induce alcohol consumption in rodents. Sucrose fading procedures involve exposing ethanol naïve rats to a mixture of ethanol and sucrose and gradually reducing the concentration of sugar. Intermittent access procedures involve providing rats with access to ethanol on alternating days. Given that rats will consume ethanol without sucrose, the role of sugar in the sucrose fading procedure is unclear. Rats must be ethanol naïve when they are exposed to treatment with sucrose fading, so there is no point of comparison to show that exposure to sugar in sucrose fading produces higher levels of drinking. There has yet to be any work that isolates the effects of sugar on the consumption of alcohol. The purpose of the present experiment was to examine the effects of sucrose on ethanol consumption in rats with different alcohol histories. Two groups of six rats were exposed to two successive sucrose fading procedures, 30 days apart and their drinking was measured 30 days after each one. One group was exposed to an intermittent access procedure to establish drinking prior to treatment with sucrose fading, the other was ethanol naïve. Following sucrose fading, all rats drank pharmacologically ...

The Effects of Textual Fluency on the Rate of Acquisition and Application of Intraverbal Relations
Date: May 2012
Creator: Shrontz, Rachael E.
Description: Intraverbal behavior governs core elements of academic and intellectual behavior. These intraverbal relations can be explicitly taught when an individual is prompted to provide an appropriate response with pictures, text, or other stimuli following a verbal stimulus. It is possible that a focus on fluency of the target repertoires may lead to more conclusive data. the current study assessed the effects of precision teaching based instruction for component textual repertoires on the acquisition of intraverbal relations. Specifically, this study compared the effectiveness of two textual prompting procedures (with and without fluency-based instruction) on the acquisition and application of intraverbal relations using time-delay and a carefully controlled set of intraverbal stimuli. Results indicate that the use of textual prompts and an errorless time-delay transfer of stimulus control procedure were effective strategies for teaching intraverbal responses regardless of the inclusion of fluency-based instruction.

The Effects of Training History on Retention and Reacquisition of Stimulus Control
Date: August 2013
Creator: Tucker, Kathryn Lynn
Description: The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of training history on retention and re-acquisition of stimulus control of previously learned behaviors. In Phase I, two pairs of behaviors were alternately trained. Circle and touch behaviors were trained concurrently until two consecutive errorless sessions were run. Spin and down behaviors were trained together in the same manner. Probe sessions, in which all four cues were presented, were conducted each time a pair of behaviors reached this criterion. Training of one pair did not occur until the other pair had reached criterion and probe sessions were run. Despite achieving the designated criterion during training, stimulus control changed during probes. During probe sessions, errors increased under the cues that were not currently being trained. In most cases, the type of errors emitted for each cue was the same as the behavior that was trained concurrently. The number of training sessions required to reach criterion accuracy was high during the first set of sessions and decreased over the course of the experiment. In Phase II, spin and circle behaviors were trained concurrently. The number of sessions required to reach stimulus control criteria remained low, and the number of errors emitted under ...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Comprehensive Staff Training Package for Behavioral Interventions for Children with Autism
Date: May 2010
Creator: Weinkauf, Sara Marie
Description: The effectiveness of behavioral interventions for the treatment of young children with autism has been well documented in professional literature. The success of these procedures, however, depends on the fidelity of implementation and proper training of the therapist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a 125-skill, comprehensive staff training package that involved a graduated sequence of teaching. In addition to changes in skills, social validity and training time were also assessed. Results indicate that correct demonstration of skills increased following training, incorrect implementation decreased, teachers rated the procedures favorably, and the total training took between 20 and 32.5 hours for over 120 skills to reach mastery criteria. A discussion of the results as well as implications for future research is also provided.

Evaluating the Effects of Public Postings on Energy Conservation Behavior at a Public University
Date: August 2011
Creator: Canisz, Eleni
Description: This study evaluated the effects of public postings on energy conservation behavior at a public university, using a multiple baseline design across three settings; bathrooms break rooms, and conference rooms. The behavior of building occupants was recorded to assess the frequency at which those individuals would turn lights off upon exiting an unoccupied room. The independent variables implemented by experimenters (light-switch plate stickers and laminated signs) had little to no effects on cumulative instances of lights turned off however, the installation of motion sensor lights produced better results. Across all conditions, lights were turned off most frequently in conference rooms (65% of observations) followed by break rooms (9% of observations), and bathrooms (3% of observations).

Evaluating the Effects of Video Modeling on the Frequency of Staff Use of Socially Embedded Consequences
Date: August 2012
Creator: Yauger, Amy Elizabeth
Description: Previous research reports that individuals working with children with autism can positively affect social behavior through the use of socially embedded consequences. There is no research on training teachers to use socially embedded consequences. The current study had three purposes: to evaluate the effects of video modeling on teachers' embedded consequences, to evaluate the addition of feedback to increase effectiveness, and to evaluate the effects of the teacher's use of socially embedded consequences on other teacher behaviors. Results indicate that video modeling alone was not sufficient in changing teacher behavior and that the addition of feedback was necessary for meaningful teacher behavior change. Additionally, the increased used of socially embedded consequences had positive effects on teacher social engagement and indices of interest. A discussion of the results and suggestions for future research is also provided.

Evaluation of the Easter Seals North Texas Autism Treatment Program: Progress in Meeting Program Mission
Date: May 2010
Creator: Pritchett, Malika Naomi
Description: Applied behavior analysis (ABA) remains at the forefront of effective interventions for children with autism. In some cases, the high cost of treatment and other environmental factors limit families from accessing services. The Easter Seals North Texas (ESNT) Autism Treatment Program (ATP) was created to reach high risk, underserved families in the North Texas area by providing early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) services to children with autism. This evaluation was conducted to analyze the success of meeting the ESNT ATP program mission to provide culturally responsive ABA to children. The evaluation includes the design of assessments, the analysis of the assessment data, and a set of recommendations to maintain and increase program accessibility.

An Exploration of the Titrating-Delay Match-to-Sample Procedure with Pigeons
Date: December 2011
Creator: Friedel, Jonathan E.
Description: The delayed matching‐to‐sample (DMTS) procedure involves the insertion of a delay between the offset of a sample stimulus and the onset of an array of comparison stimuli; one of which is designated as the "correct" match for the sample on each trial. The procedure has served as the base preparation in which the effects of environmental variables on short‐term remembering and is, in many ways, responsible for a refined understanding of the phenomenon. Despite its utility, however, there are a few problems with the DMTS procedure – first, the procedure doesn't adjust for individual differences and second, the conventional dependent measure, percent of correct trials, is not as sensitive as one might like. The titrating-delay matching to sample (TDMTS) procedure is a variant of the DMTS procedure in which the delays between sample and comparison are adjusted as a function of the subject's performance. Stable measures of adjusted delay are not only sensitive measures of the performance of interest but they are also automatically tuned to differences across individuals. The study reported here continues our efforts to understand the dynamics of the TDMTS procedure so that it can be used to ask important questions related to short‐term remembering.

Exploring Fundamental Principles in the Study of Derived Relational Responding in Pigeons
Date: August 2013
Creator: Hinnenkamp, Jay Evan
Description: A persistent challenge for behaviorally-based accounts of learning has been providing an account of learning that occurs in the absence of systematically programmed contingencies of reinforcement. Symmetry, one type of emergent behavior, has been repeatedly demonstrated with humans, but has been considerably more difficult to demonstrate with non-humans. In this study, pigeons were exposed to a go/no-go procedure in which hue stimuli were presented full screen on a touchscreen monitor. Pigeons learned 12 baseline relations in less than 30 days. Traditional measures used to evaluate symmetry indicated that, during tests, three of the four birds responded more to the reverse of relations that were reinforced in training than to the reverse of relations that were not reinforced in training. However, additional analyses of these data suggests that these differences were driven by one of two trial types and that symmetry was only observed for one of the two predicted relations. These data systematically replicate and extend work by Urcuioli and colleagues and point to areas where further research is needed.

Fearful to Friendly (F2F): a Constructional Fear Treatment for Domestic Cats Using a Negative Reinforcement Shaping Procedure in a Home Setting
Date: August 2012
Creator: Rentfro, Angela Drake
Description: Feral and fearful cats and kittens in animal shelters are not likely to be adopted as companion animals because they emit fearful or aggressive behaviors in the presence of humans. The purpose of the fearful to friendly (F2F) research was to investigate a shaping procedure to increase friendly behaviors of feral and fearful domestic cats and kittens with the goal of achieving animal shelters' adoptability criteria. The results showed the F2F procedure was a safe and very effective procedure to quickly tame feral kittens deemed unadoptable. The day after implementing F2F, three out of four kittens approached me and accepted petting and holding without any additional training.

Our hotel room was very expensive. We expected a lot more for our money. There was no mini fridge or microwave in the room. The tv was small and out dated. There was a bug on the floor the day we got there and it was still there 3 days later when we left. It was nearly impossible to get service at the front desk.

This is our go-to hotel in the city when we know we will have a great room, great service and perfect location where we don't have to drive to access shopping, restaurants, theatre (both movie and live performances) and all of the top hot spots in town. This is the type of hotel that when they found out it was our anniversary, they sent up complimentary champagne, cheese, crackers, fruits and chocolate with a card wishing us a happy anniversary.
When we've had issues, they have quickly resolved and left us feeling that they cared.
No Thanks

Golden Girl Promotions is a disgrace to boxing. Who cares if they put good cards on if they're paying off refs so their boxers win so they profit even more.

Matt and Melanie were warm and welcoming, making us instantly comfortable and feeling right at home. Melanie greeted us with glasses of sweet (yummy) wine and biscotti to enjoy while Matt went over the details of New Orleans (it was our first visit). He gave us a map and spoke with us for quite awhile reviewing a plethora of local information – restaurants, things to see/do, walking tips, etc.
We first got a tour of the beautifully decorated home and yard/garden. We stayed in the Saints Suite. Our room was spacious and comfortable, nicely decorated - colorful, fun and eclectic! It had a large sitting room with TV, fully stocked fridge (no additional charge for snacks, water, wine, beer, water, etc.), coffee maker and then a separate bedroom. We had a private balcony with a table and chairs, a large private bath with claw foot tub (with the best bath towels I have ever had on any vacation anywhere!). Sink was outside the bathroom making it easier for us to both get ready at the same time.
Breakfast was fabulous! Every day they had several locally made specialties – breads, jam, sausage bacon/maple donuts (one of the best things I ate in New Orleans) and a homemade dish like muffaletta, crawfish quiche… For those picky eaters who just want Kellogg's cereal or Greek yogurt, that is available too. We had an early tour one morning. When I mentioned that we would be missing breakfast, Melanie prepared a bag of snacks for us to take with us! Matt and Melanie sat at breakfast and chatted with everyone each morning – discovering what activities we had planned, giving advice, answering questions about area history – truly a lovely couple who make you feel like you have been friends for years. There was a newspaper available as well, for those like my husband who just want to read in the morning.
Don't let the location put you off, we found it to be excellent -it is a very safe area only a mile away from the French Quarter and close to CityPark. Quiet and peaceful (I can't imagine trying to sleep in the French Quarter at night) on a beautiful street in a neighborhood that has great local restaurants and bars – where we had 2 of our best meals. We didn't have a car but found the walk to the French Quarter and City Park to be lovely. The cab ride back to the hotel each evening was under $10 (about 5 minutes).
We also used the complimentary bikes to get downtown, tour the nearby cemetery and ride around CityPark and its sculpture garden. They are 1 speed Huffy's – perfect to get from point A to point B, probably not so great if you planned to do some long bike rides (although the area is pretty flat). It was nice to see more of New Orleans than just the French Quarter.
We stayed 4 nights – I feel one would be hard-pressed to find a better stay or nicer hosts elsewhere. Just an all-around great experience. We will definitely stay here again when we return! Great vacation!

Track "Bankruptcy Showbiz" contains a sample from "(Move it) to the big bang" by Steve Rachmad; thanks a lot to Mr. Steve Rachmad and Music Man Records for making possible to use the sample. "Closure/Occlusion: The act of closing or the state of being closed. The strategy of closing down your domain is used to keep dangers out. Physiological barriers like membranes or tissues are mechanisms that block the passage of certain substances, in the same way physical barriers are meant to protect countries, pieces of land from migration, interbreeding, or free movement of individuals or populations. Everywhere we assist a call for stronger control. We are threatened by financial crisis, morale breakdowns, extreme pollution, political new-populism all of them we believe are consequences of a deregulated system. Contemporaneity is dark and uncertain. People lost value on behalf of greedy agglomerates of power and wealth. Cities are drawing in poverty and darkness, no breathable air, not a wink of wild nature and life. The collapse of modern civilization seems always more imminent while society keeps waiting for it with stolidity. To work, to produce, to obey, to delegate. This are all actions humanity has learned to fulfill everyday while living in separation looking to personal glorification and self indulgence. Our specie lost contact with the biological part of its being. Hours spent in segregation makes us proud of our own achievements and jealous as only we can enjoy them. The reach for safety erects barriers responding to the insiders/outsiders distinction that we postulated for us to feel part of a definite system. The lack of sharing, despite echoes of social computing attracting us like zombies on a fresh meal, stops the awareness of cooperation between people. We've lost the route and the imagination, feeling we're terribly clueless: no values, no certainty, hopes or visions. We share thoughts in our private nightmare. Perturbation Stolidity is a snapshot of global phenomena such as climate change, economic inequalities, social conduct but also an intimate and disillusioned personal flash of light and a critique of our personal behavior."

5 Things: Shale investment bubble to burst? ... Southwest passes Mylan in S&P rank ... $1M Powerball ticket sold in Braddock ... Dick's Sporting Goods opens new stores ... Maxim Crane wins order

Shale investment bubble to burst?
Exploration and production companies in the Marcellus and other shale plays are accumulating debt at a large rate, according to a Bloomberg study.
Home of the Day
Bloomberg said shale debt is up 100 percent but revenue is only up 6 percent in an analysis of 61 shale drillers. No local companies are cited in the story but the cash-hungry industry is set for a shakeout. An analyst tells Bloomberg: "Not everyone is going to survive. We've seen it before."
Southwest passes Mylan in S&P ranking
Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) has flown ahead of Southpointe-based Mylan Inc. (Nasdaq: MYL) in the S&P 500 market capitalization ranking. Nasdaq.com reported Southwest now has a market cap of $17.37 billion, just ahead of Mylan's $17.36 billion. Southwest is now No. 243 while Mylan is No. 244.
$1M Powerball ticket sold in Braddock
A Braddock convenience store sold a $1 million ticket in Saturday night's Powerball.
The winner has yet to claim the prize: Super Stop Convenience Store, 430 Kenmawr Ave., Braddock, will get $5,000 for selling the ticket.
Dick's Sporting Goods opens new stores
Findlay Township-based Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. is opening new stores in North Carolina, Kansas and Virginia.
Dick's (NYSE: DKS) announced in news releases Tuesday that Dick's stores in Culpeper, Va., Arden, N.C., and Lawrence, Kan., would open the weekend of June 6.

SportsTalk Live: RG3 has made the decision for the Colts
CSN Washington dot com. Tour ball so okay. The Colts and we're playing -- -- -- the Colts are playing games where we are RG three. What -- degrees inside the games and must stop here you know really he would not know that I. I am not working out into a private workout for you can work out and isn't all pro day -- every team looks at. A lot of teams across the rest -- who moved up to get him. Consider not going requested so -- -- -- -- URG three made it easy decision for him to the playbook. So I think they never had any intention drafted Emmitt I think we're bringing him for work out of sorely using him to creating leverage. For the negotiations as welcome and I know we we know what slotted at the still negotiable aspects that contract incentives and such. What why go work out for them if you know they're taking that jalopy known all along -- -- Angela. He wants to be DC I think that's part of it too he was a Broncos fan growing up he respects my share that. He's Smart enough football wise you know he fits the system very well. So I picked. Understand your got a situation you look it would Jimerson has done yet I believe he had a right to say and do whatever he wanted to do in -- situation. But he was doing things the wrong way. You have to be professional has already -- all the team but you can't be stupid. And he was doing everything on Twitter as he did today against RG three to go on trying to make himself. Yeah bigger and better and I think you know you look at this young man he is a guy who's straight at a point. He's got a little deal wanna do a lot of rip -- so he's. I don't want to hit -- just because you know what Tony Dungy was head coach there you never heard much of Jim Irsay certainly not. There is goofy stuff I want to earlier it's got a guy quit drinking maybe surgery -- again because he's doing is making a fool themselves for some of the stuff he's doing an adult was about me is the ball mean mean mean me. Yeah the owner -- red you step back a little bit but I wonder how that's gonna play out for them. In long term if if he's getting out of control in and that's gonna. Caused some problems -- you look at him up they either have a lot of all resolve their right now people see people like Jeter Giles and you see people against Ryder. -- person out there out front type of people -- somebody's got sore arm it's got some. Doesn't like to be out to -- all the Sutton. Now they get a little feel that they wanna be on the wanna do so much -- -- -- the team to jet game cook. Was five when the best almost ever. He only eighteen he got the right people he stood back yeah he didn't care about what was going -- -- gaudy rings committed to play well that it would he walk round it looked up. It was with them there that's enough thought I thought Bobby Mitch who shelled do you all doable -- for it it could of that alternate perhaps anywhere yet. He what did you depleted all that -- really how you say no mystical. And he's been checks I guess exactly. It's -- -- let me keep on like first I go back to be said about you but that the court you know my helmet the logo and I was sort of just honored. Mean how about what he stole the team from Baltimore. You didn't do it better your dad did so you need this you need to back off a little bit you know I'm -- is an excellent -- -- say it he's been hypocrite. Well any any of these be careful here CSN Washington dot com.

Post Content
In this week's City and Town, the newsletter published by the Division of Local Services on subjects of interest to local officials, DOR Deputy Commissioner Robert G. Nunes writes about the significance of the bill Gov. Deval Patrick signed earlier this week allowing the City of Lawrence to deficit borrow over a two-year period as the city and its new leadership attempt to get a handle on budget problems.
Nunes points out that the borrowing is not a blank check – that in fact the taxpayers of Lawrence will have to pay it back. He also writes that a Finance Control Board will be – not may be – installed if local officials are unable to fix the city's finances.
The bedrock under the Lawrence bill, Nunes writes, is the long tradition in Massachusetts of local government and citizens directing their own affairs. Lawrence now has an opportunity to solve its problems, but if it can't a control board will take over.

Featherstone prop Lockwood handed two-year doping ban
Featherstone prop James Lockwood has been given a two-year ban for breaching the Rugby Football League's anti-doping regulations in the first finding of its kind in the UK.
The 29-year-old former Dewsbury forward was handed the suspension by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) after a sample taken in an out-of-competition test last November returned a positive test for growth hormone releasing factors.
In a statement, UKAD said: "The Drug Control Centre at King's College, London, identified the presence of Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 (pralmorelin) and its metabolite in Mr Lockwood's A sample.
"These are classified under section S2 of the WADA 2014 Prohibited List. This is the first finding of its kind in the UK.
"The athlete is banned from all competition from 3 March 2015 to 2 March 2017."
Lockwood has spent the last three seasons with Featherstone after joining them from Dewsbury in 2012 and was in their team that lost 36-12 to Leigh in last October's Championship Grand Final at Headingley.

Featherstone Rovers christen 'new' old stands
Maitua 'massive signing' for Featherstone
Featherstone have signed Samoa forward Reni Maitua on a two-year deal from the Canterbury Bulldogs.
The 32-year-old has 174 NRL appearances to his name and his signature is a real statement of intent from Rovers ahead of a season which sees promotion to the Super League back on the agenda.
Three-cap international Maitua started out with Canterbury and then had spells with Cronulla and Parramatta before going back to the Bulldogs.
He made 13 appearances for them in 2014.
Featherstone Rovers receive winding up petition
Featherstone Rovers Rugby League Club has confirmed they've received a winding up petition from the taxman, but they say they're confident they'll pay off the arrears later this week.
In a statement issued today Rovers said they'd originally agreed to pay what they owed HMRC in four instalments. Two of those have already been paid, and they say the outstanding balance of £11,000 will be cleared this week.
The club say they're "disappointed" that HMRC have gone public with the winding up petition, when a plan to clear the tax arrears had already been agreed, and earlier payments had been made as promised.
Castleford sign free agent Finn
Ireland captain Liam Finn will be back in Super League in 2014 after being snapped up by Castleford Tigers.
The 30-year-old goalkicking half-back, who had brief spells in the top flight with Halifax and Wakefield, has linked up with the Tigers following his release by neighbouring Championship club Featherstone.
Finn, who led the Irish in all three World Cup games against Fiji, England and Australia, scored 1,484 points in two spells at Featherstone, where he played under Castleford coach Daryl Powell.
Kear to face old club in Championship Grand Final
John Kear will go up against his former club Sheffield Eagles in the Kingstone Press Championship Grand Final at Leigh Sports Village next Sunday after his Batley side toppled favourites Featherstone 21-20 in extra time in a dramatic semi-final.
Rovers were on course for a fourth successive final when they led 18-0 after half-an-hour, but Batley, who needed extra time to beat Leigh in the semi-finals a week earlier, stormed back to force added time .
