A Willard teenager being tried as an adult on an allegation he shot his mother in the back could face a trial that lasts three days or more.
Michael E. Mason, 17, of 23 N. Main St., has a May 14 trial scheduled in Huron County Common Pleas Court. Huron County Public Defender David Longo, at Monday's hearing, said the proceedings could continue through the week.
Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler expressed a concern about jury selection "because of the enormous publicity" about the case.
Mason fled the scene of the May 30 shooting, which caused an extensive manhunt. The search forced Willard City Schools to be on lockdown. Mason eventually was arrested in the 500 block of Pearl Street. He remains incarcerated at the Seneca County Youth Center in lieu of a $100,000 bond.
The boy's mother was taken to Mercy Willard Hospital and later transferred to a Toledo hospital. She was released later.
Mason has pleaded "not guilty by reason of insanity" to attempted murder. The first-degree felony comes with a gun specification, which would add another three years to a sentence of three to 11 years in prison.
A clinical psychologist at the District 5 Forensic and Diagnostic Center in Mansfield has determined Mason wasn't insane at the time of the incident.
In December, Leffler said there's a "reasonable possibility" Mason could be found guilty after reviewing his statement to Willard police officers "moments after it happened."
"There's nothing on that video that indicates an individual (who is) insane or not dealing with reality," Leffler said earlier. "Obviously there's something bizarre going on when you shoot your mother."
When Judge Jim Conway asked Longo and Leffler if there had been any plea negotiations, Longo said, "we've talked, but there's nothing firm."
Mason's next pre-trial hearing is May 7.

After Weinstein's kidnapping, SUNY Oswego President Deborah F. Stanley released a statement condemning his abductors.
This is where having a low-key character like Deborah Samson, rather than, say, George Washington, was really helpful.

a bee. (1.) Rebekah's nurse. She accompanied her mistress when she left her father's house in Padan-aram to become the wife of Isaac (Gen. 24:59). Many years afterwards she died at Bethel, and was buried under the "oak of weeping", Allon-bachuth (35:8). (2.) A prophetess, "wife" (woman?) of Lapidoth. Jabin, the king of Hazor, had for twenty years held Israel in degrading subjection. The spirit of patriotism seemed crushed out of the nation. In this emergency Deborah roused the people from their lethargy. Her fame spread far and wide. She became a "mother in Israel" (Judg. 4:6, 14; 5:7), and "the children of Israel came up to her for judgment" as she sat in her tent under the palm tree "between Ramah and Bethel." Preparations were everywhere made by her direction for the great effort to throw off the yoke of bondage. She summoned Barak from Kadesh to take the command of 10,000 men of Zebulun and Naphtali, and lead them to Mount Tabor on the plain of Esdraelon at its north-east end. With his aid she organized this army. She gave the signal for attack, and the Hebrew host rushed down impetuously upon the army of Jabin, which was commanded by Sisera, and gained a great and decisive victory. The Canaanitish army almost wholly perished. That was a great and ever-memorable day in Israel. In Judg. 5 is given the grand triumphal ode, the "song of Deborah," which she wrote in grateful commemoration of that great deliverance. (See LAPIDOTH ØT0002240, JABIN ØT0001938 [2].)

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 5/8/12
Ramblings from Henry and Fayette Streets The Week That Was: April 30th – May 7th The B-Mets went 2-5 over the past week, losing both their series in Akron against the Aeros and at home against the Harrisburg Senators. Three of the five games they lost were only by one run. The Mets fell below .500 and slid in the standings from third to fourth place. The big news on the week was the loss of RHP Zack Wheeler, who was placed on the 7-day DL with a right middle fingernail avulsion. In his place, RHP Gonzalez Germen was called up from St. Lucie and started for the B-Mets on Friday night. In his AA debut, Germen went six innings, allowing five runs on eight hits while striking out nine Harrisburg Senators batters along the way. In other personnel news, Brad Holt was sent back to Binghamton from the Buffalo Bisons on Monday the 7th. At weeks end, Jefry Marte leads the team in batting average at .315, and despite his injury Zack Wheeler still has the top ERA amongst B-Mets sta...

The Houston Dynamo are one of the newer teams in the MLS as they became a franchise in
2005 and were originally called the Houston 1836. The 1836 referred to the year of the war
for Texas independence from Mexico, this name upset many of the local Mexican fans and the
team promptly changed their name and began selling Houston Dynamo tickets the following
The team and fans benefited from early success as the Dynamo's won the MLS Cup in their
inaugural season of 2006 in front of an average of 18,935 fans that purchased Houston Dynamo
tickets. The attendance figure of 18,935 Houston Dynamo tickets is a franchise record still
standing through the 2011 season. The following season in 2007, attendance figures dropped
dramatically by 3,000 per home game despite the team's success as they went on to win
another MLS Cup title.
The 2008 season started off with the Dynamo winning an exhibition tournament held in
Texas. This provided high hopes for the team and fans that was unfortunately followed by an
interesting start to the MLS season as it took the team seven games to finally get their first win.
The season finished with the Dynamo losing in the Semi-Finals to the eventual champion New
York Red Bulls.
The following three years for the Dynamo were marked by ups and downs as they exited the
2009 playoffs in the Western Conference finals, and did not even reach the playoffs in 2010
after they lost key players in the offseason and once again saw Houston Dynamo tickets sales
The Houston Dynamo soccer club has hosted games in a total of four different stadiums during
their short tenure in the league. Two of the stadiums they used were only used for a total of
three games, two were U.S. Cup games, and the third was a CONCACAF Champions' Cup game.
Their original and most used home stadium was Robertson Stadium on the campus of the
University of Houston Cougars. They called Robertson their home for their first six years in the
league and were able to seat 32,000 fans, but only averaged 17,000 Houston Dynamo tickets
sold per home game.
The Dynamo's are now the MLS team with the newest stadium as they moved into their new
soccer specific stadium BBVA Compass Stadium for the 2012 season. It is hoped by the team
that with a soccer only stadium as their new home that the sale of Houston Dynamo tickets will
increase as fans will have a better view of the game resulting in a better experience.
The real interesting part of their inability to sell Houston Dynamo tickets comes from the fact
that Texas has a high population of Mexican immigrants who came from a country where
soccer is the most popular sport. The initial outrage to the naming of the team to the Houston
1836 could have caused for a lower attendance figure from Mexican-Americans, but now that
the team has been selling Houston Dynamo tickets for over six years it would be hoped that
many of the locals would have forgiven the team by now and would come out to support them.

It's been a long time since I have updated this blog. I have been very busy with work and schooling while watching dramas and movies at the same time. Not to mention, I have been reading few manga on the side and watched some anime too. It seems I can't get rid of it out my system.
Anyway, I currently finished watching "Fated To Love You" Korean Version. Honestly, though the drama was a remake, I can say it still has an impact. The actors and actresses were all great. I had a great time laughing and crying all by myself. It was really amazing. The chemistry between Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra is simply amazing. They were also amazing when they first teamed up for "Successful Story of a Bright Girl" but since they have matured over the years as an artist, I prefer them both in this drama.
Oh well, I am going to miss this drama as well as Jang Hyuk's laugh. If you haven't watched this drama, then watch it and you will understand why I am going to miss his contagious laugh. :p
Aside from the great cast, I also like the OST of this drama. This is the second Korean drama with an OST that I like. The first one was from The Master's Sun: Crazy of You and Touch Love. I also like two songs from this drama, namely "Morning of Canon" and "Goodbye My Love." The songs are very touching, the tune and the lyrics.
How about all my KDRAMA and JDRAMA friends? Wazzup with life? What dramas are you currently watching?

Does Between-Category Similarity Influence Categorization?
Dihiansan, Louise
MetadataShow full item record
Humans can categorize objects at different levels of abstraction: basic (for example, cars and chairs) and superordinate (for example, vehicles and furniture). Usually, basic-level categorization is acquired faster than superordinate-level categorization, but the opposite results have been reported as well. One possible reason is that similarity between different basic-level categories influences speed of learning of these categories. We investigated how between-category similarity affects speed of learning of basic-level discrimination and superordinate-level discrimination. In Experiment 1, we used four families of abstract shapes called Attneave's shapes to create four basic-level categories, each containing 8 exemplars of shapes. Participants were asked to rate similarities between the shape families shown on a computer monitor. We then analyzed the ratings using multidimensional scaling to evaluate similarities between four categories. For Experiment 2, we combined two similar basic-level categories in one superordinate-level category. Two dissimilar basic-level categories formed the second superordinate-level category. Participants then had to learn to make a correct response to a member of each category shown on computer monitor. The response had to be made either at the basic level (four choice alternatives) or at the superordinate level (two choice alternatives). We expected participants to learn basic-level discrimination faster when two categories are similar. When two categories are dissimilar, we expected them to learn superordinate-level discrimination faster. Preliminary results of Experiment 2 will be presented.

Green Redevelopment Proposed for Cleveland Industrial Sites

The Provost's Service-Learning Office is working on a plan to give an "S" designation to approved courses with a service-learning component. The application process was piloted this spring by nine faculty members, each representing a different college.

The next step will be designating courses with appropriate content and outcomes as service-learning courses. This will entail adding an S to the course numbers so students can easily spot them in the course catalog, and they'll appear similarly on transcripts so employers can take note. Read more>
Smart Communities Planning Underway

By Christy Armstrong, Banner Staff Writer
A new initiative to combine the expertise of Cleveland city officials and students at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville got underway with a meeting Monday. Cleveland was chosen to take part in the inaugural year of a new program called the Smart Communities Initiative that will allow students to work with city officials and create proposals on ways to address city planning concerns. Monday's meeting was a time for Cleveland officials and university representatives to get together and discuss the projects so the university can choose which projects its students could most likely accomplish.
When applying to be part of the new program, the city proposed 19 different projects for the university's consideration. Those who attended the Monday meeting divided themselves into groups to address different areas of concern and discuss each project, with the goal of helping narrow down the possibilities of what the university students will be able to do.

City, UTK pair for planning program
Published March 31, 2014 in the Cleveland Daily Banner
by Joyanna Love, Banner Senior Staff Writer
The city of Cleveland has been chosen to participate in the University of Tennessee's Smart Communities Initiative Program. This fall will be the launch of the university's program to combine cities' project planning needs with UTK students' need for hand-on experience. As a part of the program, Cleveland will receive detailed plans and data for projects that best fit with the classes being offered this semester.
"A continual problem that we have, and I think a lot of communities have unless they are really big and have a lot of staff … is that oftentimes there are opportunities that come for funding but with that funding opportunity comes the expectation that you will have planned and prepared for the projects that you want to fund. When you have staffing limitations … it's hard to do that kind of stuff because what you wind up spending your time with is the immediate stuff that you have to get built," planning director Greg Thomas said.

Corrected: UT adopts hands-on city sustainability course for fall
Published: Wed Jan 15, 2014 | Modified: Thu Jan 23, 2014 04:53 p.m. in the Daily Beacon
By Bradi Musil, Staff Writer
Beginning next fall, UT students will be solving problems in Tennessee while earning credit hours and experience. The Smart Communities Initiative, modeled after Oregon's Sustainable City Year Program, will engage students and faculty of UT with Tennessee cities, counties and regions to provide hands-on experience outside the classroom.
"It all started about five years ago, when faculty was sitting around talking about how every term students turn in this great work, and it just sits and never goes anywhere. These great ideas never get implemented or anything," said Bob Choquette, the program manager of Oregon's Sustainable City Year Program.
After Oregon presented their program on UT's campus in the fall, UT adopted a customized version of Oregon's model. Every year, the university will work with one Tennessee "host" city, or municipal partner to match projects with academic courses. Although instructors will still adhere to course curriculums, the class will primarily focus on the host city's projects and culminate in a collaborative written report from the students. Read more >

How To Read Kindle Books In iBooks, And Keep Your Library In The Cloud [How-To]
I love e-books. I love them so much that I'm considering buying a double-sided, sheet-feed scanner, chopping the spines of all my dead-treeware books and having an OCR frenzy on their asses.
What I don't like is DRM. Not for any idealistic reasons (well, maybe a few) but for practical ones. My bookseller of choice is Amazon, as it has the best range and Kindle books work on any device. But the Kindle app for the iPad sucks, and with an update this week it is almost unusable. If only I could read my Kindle books in the beautiful iBooks app. Well, it turns out that I can. And what's more, I can keep all of my books in a DRM-free format in the cloud, ready to be downloaded to any device, whenever I like. Here's how.

Theatre Rhinoceros opens its 25th season with a musical review about hair. Based on interviews conducted by coauthors Johari Jabir and Doug Holsclaw, the show explores the role that hair plays in our sexual, gender, and ethnic identities. The original score by Jabir covers a range of musical genres including gospel, soul, jazz, and pop as well as some clever homages (a medley about hair products begins in the style of Leontovych's "Carol of the Bells" and continues through a range of familiar musical references). The piece suffers a bit from an underdeveloped plot: the characters are gathered at a beauty salon in memory of the deceased owner, but instead of plumbing the richness of the salon as a hotbed of cultural exchange and identity formation, the premise feels superimposed for the sake of justifying the show's disparate elements. However, the harmony is in the singing, and there are several humorous and insightful individual moments. (Shalson)
*Let's Talk about Me Theatre Rhinoceros, 2926 16th St; 861-5079. $16-18. Thurs-Sat, 8:30pm; Sun, 7:30pm. Extended run: through Sept. 29. Three inspired one-acts compose a cool, quirky, and intimate portrait of San Francisco's underground. Punk rock veteran Jennifer Blowdryer directs and co-narrates Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace, her schlock-horror adaptation of Scott Thorson's tell-all memoir of five years with the vain, extravagant, controlling entertainer. Nathan Tucker plays the aging star's phlegmatic 18-year-old protégé, the object of insatiable appetites and petty obsessions brilliantly brought to life by cabaret dabster Phillip R. Ford, decked out in Sue Fox's marvelous costumes. Next, Ford directs the equally accomplished Arturo Galster as drag queen legend Doris Fish (until her untimely death in 1991 a fixture on the city's stages, afterward immortalized in the cult film Vegas in Space, directed by Ford and costarring both Galster and Blowdryer). Galster's Fish immaculately polished but relaxed and inviting is a charming, very funny tribute and a bravura act all its own. Finally, Laurie Bushman directs scenes from Blowdryer's autobiographical White Trash Debutante, a paean to the punk rock '70s that conveys the spirit of its subject in its playful irreverence. Throughout, unflappable performances and a contagious joie de vivre ensure this unique trip down S.F.'s memory lane will be remembered in its own right. (Avila)
PINS Walker Theatre, New Conservatory Theatre Center, 25 Van Ness; 861-8972. $18-38. Wed-Sat, 8pm; Sun/22, Sept 29, 2pm. Through Oct 13. One of the more insidious things about homophobia is that it's not always obvious who the homophobe is. Sometimes it's a gay kid whose internalized self-hatred makes him lash out at other queers. Without perpetuating the stereotype that gay-bashers are usually gay bashers (because if it's believed that only queers attack other queers and this is certainly not the case it's much too easy to dismiss it as a "gay problem"), Jim Provenzano (who writes the Sports Complex column in the Bay Area Reporter) explores the nuances of this phenomenon in his sensitive work on the unlikely topic of high school wrestling. Joey Nicci (Nick Tagas) is in love with a fellow wrestler but still participates in the ostracizing of another openly gay teammate, with tragic results. The treatment of adolescent sexuality and the pressures and pleasures of team sports is perceptive and honest, and offers a unique view of growing up gay. (Shalson)
Rebel Without a Pause Brava Theater Center, 2789 24th St; 647-2822. $24-28. Tues-Sun, 8pm. Through Sept 29. New York-based comedian Reno brings back her popular show, a firsthand account of the events of Sept. 11.
*Stories by Tobias Wolff Magic Theatre, Fort Mason Center, Marina at Laguna; 437-6775. $25 (Wed, pay what you can). Extended run: Thurs-Sat, 8:30pm; Sun, 3pm. Through Sept 29. Under this unassuming title, Word for Word triumphantly stages three tales from the oeuvre of the masterful short story writer. In the Garden of the North American Martyrs, directed by Sheila Balter, follows a frumpy, undistinguished academic (Susan Harloe) through a humiliating job interview at a snooty East Coast university. In a wonderful send-up of academic pomp, Wolff allows his underdog the last word and affirms the individual against vain intellectualism. Next, Stephanie Hunt directs Lady's Dream and Bullet in the Brain. The first explores love's necessary illusions, as a Southern belle (Nancy Shelby) and her overbearing husband (Joel Mullennix) reflect separately on their courtship many years before. In the final piece, a snide and pompous book critic named Anders (Paul Finocchiaro) is toppled in a bank line by his own uncontrollable penchant for sarcasm. The audience partakes of his final moments courtesy of Anders's corpus callosum. Throughout, intelligent, imaginative staging and fine ensemble performances (led by Word for Word stalwarts Harloe, Shelby, and Finocchiaro) mesh with Wolff's crystalline prose and playful wit to elicit our lively and unflagging interest. (Avila)
Talking with Angels A Traveling Jewish Theater, 470 Florida; 389-8975. $15-20. Wed-Sat, 8pm; Sun, 5pm. Through Sept 29. (Oct 3, moves to Spanganga, 3376 19th St; 821-1102. Same schedule through Oct 20.) In Nazi-occupied Hungary, four friends held weekly philosophical discussions, where, according to their manuscripts, they were visited by forces that they came to know as angels. Shelley Mitchell's virtuosic solo performance presents this story from the perspective of the lone survivor: an elderly, decidedly nonreligious and likably cynical Gitta Mallasz, as she would have appeared at one of her many lectures in the 1980s. With the aid of Robert Ted Anderson's apt lighting, Mitchell transforms into the younger Hanna, who served as the medium for the angels to bring us their dialogues. Whether one believes in angels or is more inclined to find another explanation, this is a remarkable story. But the angels' words are less inspiring than one might hope for from divine entities. Far more moving is the story of Mallasz's (mostly successful) attempts to save more than 100 Jewish women and children by sheltering them in a mock Nazi factory near the end of the war. (Shalson)
We're Going down the Pub Edinburgh Castle Pub, 950 Geary; 885-4074. $10. Thurs-Sat, 8pm. Through Sept 28. The Edinburgh Castle Pub brings back its live, multimedia comedy show about pub life.

I am your Tuxedo and you are my Bow Tie...
Well lets see. I'm 36. I'm 6' about 200lbs. I'm an electrical servo motor technician. Sounds more complicated than it really is, trust me! ;) So lets see I'm a pretty sarcastic person. I guess some people have a hard time with sarcasm but I'm pretty good at getting to know peoples boundaries with that. I do like people with a sense of humor but I'm good with serious too. One thing I am for sure is NOT judgmental! I'm very open to any type of people. Just like everyone else I've had my ups and downs in life. I just don't think that people should be judged for what has happened to them or the stupid choices they have made. So if someone I meet has some things they would normally hide for fear of being judge, I'm usually the one they don't have to worry about causing them grief about it. I haven't been too many places yet but I'm hoping to take more trips now. I grew up in Michigan and lived in Chicago for a short bit. Been back in Michigan for 4 or 5 years now. Love going any place warm or by the water. But open to see anywhere new. I'm basically starting over. Newer job. Looking for a new social circle and of course someone to crush on. lol That's about it for now. Any questions just ask. I bite.....oops I mean don't bite. ;)

41 year old woman | Englewood, NJ, USA | Seeking men 35-50 within 50 miles
C'mon, take a look...it won't hurt!
OK, here it is, the update you've all been waiting for! Except that I still don't know what to tell you since I don't know what's important to you (which is part of my problem with finding people on here in general -- you may be a 98% match but the 2% might be the most important part!). So, in no particular order, I: -- am a sucker for charities that help children or animals -- am 5'10" and wear heels regularly -- wear dresses to work but jeans on the weekends -- work long hours, which makes dating a challenge, but I'm up for it! -- like nice things but don't forget where I came from -- might have a wee bit of a shoe obsession (but please don't start telling me about your foot fetish because...just, no) -- am rather sarcastic on a fairly regular basis but deep down am a softie -- can come across as an extrovert but am actually pretty shy (so I completely understand the purpose of winks on here) -- have a small circle of very good friends, most of whom I've known for years. Quality over quantity, definitely -- have a tattoo on my ankle/foot. My cats' paws. Ok, so that might have put me over the cat lady line. But they're cute! -- love antique jewelry, particularly rings. Not because I want fancy expensive gems (although who doesn't!) but because I love the thought of the piece having a history. I like to think about who might have worn it, what they were like, why and how they got it... Other random thoughts: It confuses me greatly that I'm almost 40. I really don't feel that old -- I think in my head I'm probably still somewhere between 30 and 32. The fact that people also pay hundreds of dollars an hour (to my firm, unfortunately, not me) for my advice is also mind-boggling. Nothing I have to say can possibly be worth that much money! And because I haven't already talked about myself enough, let's move on to what I want from you, shall we? Preceded of course by a disclaimer (what? I'm a lawyer! You think I wouldn't have a disclaimer?). Nothing is set in stone. I have a type, I think we all do. But I definitely think that there are people out there who don't know what they're missing because the people they say aren't what they think they want. So feel free to skip over this whole section and just get straight to emailing me. For those of you who are curious nonetheless... I tend to date men older than me. Usually somewhat significantly older (think 7-15 years). I love a man who is secure in who he is without being an egotistical jerk. We will have fancy dinners out with gazillions of courses for way too much money, but you will also be subjected to hanging out at the bar next to my office with my friends, laughing at stupid things and generally being idiots. I can act like an adult when it's appropriate, but who wants to do that all the time? I like to hold hands, sit with your arm draped around my shoulders, or have my hand on your thigh. Lower thigh. PDA is not evil as long as it's not making everyone around you look away or take pictures to text to their friends (because that is absolutely what I will be doing if we see a couple like that). So there you go. Now that I've written the world's longest profile, I'm happy to answer almost any question you ask and would love to see if we would be good together. I just don't think we can figure that out in 4000 characters! One other thing: I'm in it for the long haul. No, I didn't say I would be bringing my U-Haul on our first date, but I am ultimately looking for a relationship rather than casual hookups or sexting sessions. I will need to know more than just your name before you start telling me how you want to. . . well whatever it is you want to do. So if you're interested in getting to know someone and hopefully seeing where that takes us, let's get started!

I have Cats
I have two cats - I've been told that any more than two puts me firmly in crazy cat lady territory so that's my max!
I love the beach and really anyplace warm -- Caribbean, Hawaii (especially the Big Island), even Florida. If you want to go skiing I will happily practice being a snow bunny in the lounge and greet you with a hot toddy when you're finished.
The George Washington University, Washington, DC
Anything from movies & watching tv to hanging out with friends in NYC for drinks or dinner. I like to cook but don't always have the time. I don't really do clubs as I'm more of an intimate setting with a few close friends kind of girl.
Since I have to read painfully boring and complex documents all day at work, I tend to read mindless fluff for fun. I'm a fan of sarcastic memoirs (e.g. Jen Lancaster), Stephen King and similar thrillers, and your garden variety chick lit.

The season of cold has arrived. Dealing with sore throats, coughing and sneezing can be as simple as using remedies found in your fridge and pantry.
I've tried these remedies to relieve the discomfort when I am downed with a common cold. I would rather avoid sucking lozenges or guzzling awful syrup.
- Honey has been used in ages to soothe sore throat. You can add honey into a glass of warm water or tea.
- Salt water is also good for easing inflammation in your throat. Just add a tablespoon of salt into a warm glass of water. Then gargle for 15-30 seconds.
- When you're feeling under the weather, you should drink more water. It is important to have enough fluid in your body to eliminate toxins and improve the absorption of nutrients from your diet.
