A Southport man has been indicted on two felony charges after two people died in a traffic collision at N.C. 904 and N.C. 130 on May 22.
A Brunswick County Superior Court grand jury indicted 45-year-old Charles Harvey Lee, of River Road, on two counts of felony death by motor vehicle a week after he was initially charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle.
Lee also faces a reckless driving to endanger charge, Brunswick County Detention Facility records show.
BOLIVIA — For the first time in Brunswick County Schools history, the district provided a live stream online of four high school graduation ceremonies.
More than 650 graduating high school seniors received their diplomas last week on the campus of Brunswick Community College and district staff wanted to make sure the graduates' family members and friends had the opportunity to see the ceremonies.
A Bolivia man is accused of sexually assaulting a child.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested 39-year-old Bryan Lane Lanier, of Darnell Lane, and charged with him with first-degree sex offense June 8.
Lanier is accused of "engaging in a sex offense" with a girl younger than 13 between May 19 and May 29, a warrant shows.
Lanier is incarcerated at the Brunswick County Detention Facility on $500,000 bail.
BOLIVIA — Every four years, county health officials distribute a countywide health survey and the results are used to develop an action plan to improve community health.
An advisory team made up of local health officials and other community leaders met Tuesday, June 16, to discuss the distribution of this year's survey and the plans it will develop to address survey results.
A Bolivia woman accused of fraudulently obtaining $2,000 from an insurance company was arrested and charged with fraud Tuesday, June 16.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested 55-year-old Meleny Tate, of 3343 Southport Supply Road, and charged her with insurance fraud, attempting to obtain money or property by false pretense and accessing a computer to defraud or obtain property, according to a North Carolina Department of Insurance news release.
Brunswick County Superior Court under the direction of Judge Ola M. Lewis with prosecutor Jon David and courtroom clerk Amanda Kidd adjudicated the following cases June 1 during a grand jury session:
Brandon Asbury, three counts of breaking and entering, three counts of larceny after breaking/entering, injury to real property.
Joe Bell, conspire to sell/deliver cocaine.

Codes: PG, pleaded guilty; PNG/NG, pleaded not guilty, found not guilty; PNG/G, pleaded not guilty, found guilty; BCDF, Brunswick County Detention Facility; NCDOC, North Carolina Department of Correction.
Monday, June 1
Judge Nancy C. Phillips presided over the following cases with prosecutor Quintin McGee and courtroom clerks Courtney Graham and Kristin Cranfill:
Army Pvt. Ronald M. Szafarski, son of Patricia A. Szafarski of Shallotte and Ronald C. Szafarski of Amherst, N.Y., has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C.
Wasted food. You know what I'm talking about: that shriveled-up peach in the back of the crisper drawer. Perhaps it's something green in a restaurant take-out box. Or a can of split pea soup that no one in your family will eat. This is food that will be thrown away. Estimates show the average American family of four wastes between $1,300 and $2,300 in food each year. That's a lot of money that could be used for something else.
I remember meeting a math teacher at Brunswick Community College who, years ago, initiated a Fight Your Dragon process. Apparently, she had heard — too often — the cry of students who feared math and had convinced themselves it was far too difficult a challenge. They opted to take the road more traveled, the path of avoidance and denial.

This is an interesting story about how Lou Gehrig may have not died from Lou Gehrig's disease.
Lou Gehrig was a class act.
One of my best friend's dad is in the later stages of ALS. Truly an absolutely horrible disease. It breaks my heart every time I have to see him.
What a terrible disease. I know 2 people who have died from it, and it's not a good quick painless death, it's a horrible death. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Entertainment at it's finest
There is a hilarious war of words going on at Wikipedia between AK/Whoever and his detractors. The guy is either a con artist of the highest calibre or a space cadet or a little of both. Here's the link:
That whole fucking thing makes me want to wash my fucking hands of wikipedia, seriously.
Until Ashida and phil came along, I didn't really realize how much self promoting crap there is on wikipedia.
As a concept it is something I beleive in strongly, but this whole thing is messing with my perception of it's implementation.There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you. I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I will use my mistakes against you. There's no other choice.

There's no doubt. Radford's act is tough to pin down. He mixes insults and nonsense rambling to avoid having to state facts of any sort. I'd like to see someone pin him down on exactly who has taught him and what rank they gave him. He claims so many styles, surely we could find at least one or two former teachers and get statements fromt them. The best way to deal with people like this seems to be to stick to one point and ignore everything they say to derail the issue until they start listing some names...
I suspect if he was finally forced to name names, we would find that he was never given any rank even close to "master" level...

Coined by Neal "Phrost" Fletcher, the founder and site director for the Bullshido.com website, the bilingual play on words reflects an assertion by some of the martial arts community that there are those who train to learn how to fight, those who train to pretend they know how to fight, and those who claim that they can learn how to fight on the street without ever having fought in the dojo.

If you follow the argument with Radford Davis/Ashida Kim, he dosen't address the damning points that are being brought up against him.

I gave the mods over there credit for allowing the spirited debate. AK/RD wanted a write up on himself that was basically an advertisement. I've really always wondered how much of his own crap he believes and how much he knows is total BS. When he backed out of the Osirus/Anthony fight I knew deep down he knew he couldn't fight, but does he really believe he has these 'ninja powers'?
Ronin, I've noticed he never answers a question directly when he is cornered or busted. The BB he got caught selling was funny, first he didn't do it, then it was no ones business, then it was others do it, then it was not really a BB, then it was why is everyone picking on me. The guy is a con man, but I wonder if he believes ANY of it himself.

SunTrust identifies the most likely M&A activity in specialty retail

Analyst says Best Buy shares poised to rise
Best Buy's (BBY) stock is poised to advance after the company reports its second quarter results, research firm B. Riley predicted. WHAT'S NEW: Best Buy's forecast for increased margins in the second half of the year, along with easing comparisons, should cause the stock to rise, predicted B. Riley in a note to investors earlier today. The shares will be particularly well-positioned to climb after the company updates its guidance following its Q2 results, the firm believes. Best Buy's initiatives should help increase its revenue and profits heading into fiscal 2017 and the retailer can continues to increase its market share at the expense of Sears (SHLD), RadioShack and others. Additionally, macro economic trends remain favorable for Best Buy and its key product categories continue to perform well, according to B. Riley. The firm, which is particularly confident about the company's ability to beat Q4 consensus estimates, keeps a $47 price target on the name and reiterates a Buy rating on the shares. WHAT'S NOTABLE: In their own note to investors this morning, SunTrust analysts David Magee and D. Mitch Van Zelfden speculated on potential M&A activity in the specialty retail space, noting that "Wall Street's appetite for acquisitions has strengthened recently." In their opinion, Best Buy acquiring GameStop (GME) is among the "most compelling relationships" in the sector, the note explained. PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, Best Buy slid 0.4% to $34.72, while GameStop rose 1.3% to $44.92.

Akamai releases Q1 'State of the Internet' report
Akamai Technologies released its Q1 State of the Internet Report. Based on data gathered from the Akamai Intelligent Platform, the report provides insight into key global statistics such as connection speeds and broadband adoption across fixed and mobile networks, overall attack traffic, global 4K readiness, and IPv4 exhaustion and IPv6 implementation. the first quarter of 2015, Akamai observed a 1.2% quarterly increase in the number of unique IPv4 addresses connecting to the Akamai Intelligent Platform, growing to over 812 million—about 10 million more than were seen in the fourth quarter of 2014. n the first quarter, average mobile connection speeds ranged from a high of 20.4 Mbps in the United Kingdom—a 27% increase over the fourth quarter—to a low of 1.3 Mbps in Vietnam. Average peak mobile connection speeds ranged from 149.3 Mbps in Australia to 8.2 Mbps in Indonesia. Denmark saw 98% of unique ip addresses from mobile providers connect to Akamai at speeds above 4 Mbps, followed by Sweden and Venezuela with 97% each. On the other end of the spectrum, four countries—Vietnam, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Bolivia—each had less than 1% of ip addresses connecting at those speeds. Based on traffic data collected by Ericsson, the global volume of mobile data traffic grew by 12% between the fourth quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2015. Analysis of Akamai io data collected during the first quarter from a sample of requests to the Akamai Intelligent Platform indicates that for traffic from mobile devices on cellular networks, Apple Mobile Safari accounted for roughly 35% of requests, down slightly from 36% in the fourth quarter, while Android Webkit and Chrome for mobile accounted for 23% and 16% of requests, respectively—giving a total of 39% for the Android platform. For traffic from mobile devices across all networks, Apple Mobile Safari was responsible for close to 47% of requests, down from 48% last quarter, while Android Webkit and Chrome Mobile made up just over 25% and 17% of requests, respectively, for a total of 42%. ontinuing the trend seen in the fourth quarter of 2014, the number of unique IPv4 addresses worldwide connecting to Akamai grew by nearly 10 million in the first quarter. As noted in last quarter's report, however, the company expects that the number of unique global IPv4 addresses seen by Akamai may level off or decline in the future as more carriers implement carrier-grade network address translation solutions in an effort to conserve limited IPv4 address space and as they increase support for and availability of native IPv6 connectivity for subscribers.

(ABC 6 News) -- Destination Medical Center plans are moving along and now Governor Mark Dayton is weighing in on the project.
Over a 20-year period, some of the goals include bringing $5 billion in private investments to Rochester, creating as many as 45,000 new jobs and generating around $8 billion in net tax revenue over the next 35 years.
According to Governor Dayton the DMC project is going on as planned, "It's off to a good start, the state commitment is secure and of course Mayo and the city and county are all strong partners so I'm very very excited about the future."
The third public forum for DMC will be held on September 11. It will be open to the public as an opportunity to learn more about DMC's plans. The public can also share opinions and ideas.

Alfonso V. Romero, 25 and his wife Melissa, 26, were arrested Thursday and charged with theft of materials a month ago from a construction site near Maxwell.
Investigators believe the couple is connected to a large theft June 17 south of Maxwell. Numerous items were taken, including construction and pole climbing equipment, and the trailer containing the equipment was damaged.
Alfonso Romero had several previous warrants for arrest. And the sheriff's office said he admitted to the construction theft and said the equipment was stored in his mobile home.
A search turned up drugs and paraphernalia in the house and two cars parked there, the sheriff said, but drug charges have not yet been filed.
Alfonso was charged with theft and criminal mischief. His wife Melissa Romero was charged with possession of stolen property.

Investigators, including French police and civil aviation officials, were to arrive at the site of the Air Algérie plane crash in Mali on Saturday afternoon. They face a difficult task with wreckage and body parts scattered over 500 metres.
Twenty French police officers and a team from the aviation authority BEA were among experts due to arrive at the crash site in Gossi, near Mali's border with Burkina Faso, on Saturday.
But the plane, which was flying from Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou to Algiers, disintegrated during the accident, apparently bouncing when it hit the ground, and the debris is barely recognisable.
"It is difficult to retrieve anything, even victims' bodies, because we have only seen body parts on the ground," General Gilbert Diendiéré, the chief of staff of Burkina Faso's presidency. "Debris was scattered over an area of 500 metres which is due to the fact that the plane hit the ground and then probably rebounded."
There were 54 French nationals - some with dual nationality - 28 Burkinabés and eight Lebanese among the 118 people on board the flight.
Representatives of bereaved families from France, Burkina and Lebanon were flown to the site by helicopter on Saturday morning, although numbers were limited because of the restricted number of seats.
Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta also went to the scene, accompanied by a large delegation, to express "solidarity" with the victims' families.
French President François Hollande was to meet families at 3.00pm, along with ministers including Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius and Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
Ten members of one French family and one family of four died in the crash.
Among grieving relatives at Ouagadougou airport Dramane Ouedraogo told RFI that he had lost seven members of his family.
Minister for Overseas French Fleur Pellerin, who was in Ouagadougou on Friday, said that no suspicious persons were on board and the Spanish pilots' union, Sepla, said both the planes' pilots were experienced, strengthening the theory that the accident was caused by weather conditions.
The plane's two flight recorders were on the way to northern Mali's biggest town, Gao, Hollande said on Saturday morning.

My initial feeling is one of annoyance as my three year old climbs on my back as I attempt to do some one-handed computer work while bouncing the baby on one knee. The microwave beeps for the umpteenth time {what was in there, again?}, and my five year old hollers for more toilet paper from the upstairs bathroom. So. much. going. on. And, if I could just finish this one email…. But, the annoyance quickly disappears as my little one's arms slide around my neck and she nuzzles her face in my {slightly dirty} hair. "My Mama." She says it matter of factly. Because to her, it is fact. I am her world. I am Mama…the fixer, the wiper, the scolder, the hugger. Anything she needs, she knows she can count on me.
My kids need me on average, every 3.4 seconds of each day. And most of the time it is for silly, trivial, {annoying} little things. But. My three-year-old now insists on getting her own water out of the "fountain" in the fridge door. She takes her merry old time, but can now officially buckle herself into her carseat. And her hair. Ermagard, her hair. It's always a mess, because she insists on brushing, headbanding, and pony-tailing it herself. And once again, I am reminded that she will not always need me. The days of complete independence will soon be here, when friends and iPhones and sports will take the place of her time with me. So why is it such a constant struggle for me to remember this daily?!?
I may not always have a smile on my face as I stop in my tracks to fix the seam on her socks. Again. I can't promise that there won't be a little attitude or sarcasm in my answer to impossible questions {over, and over, and over again} while I'm trying to concentrate on traffic in the car. And I can't promise that I'm not secretly rolling my eyes as I hear the high shriek of "MooooOOOOOOM!" from the playroom…..to think, they were playing so nicely together for the last 2 minutes!
So, once again….I remind myself to put that negative attitude away and appreciate these little moments….snot in my hair and all.

Jewish leaders meet Biden in Thanksgiving week appeal.
Washington — Four drug dealers, a trafficker in stolen goods, a gambler and a turkey made President Barack Obama's Thanksgiving freedom list, but Israel's best-known spy did not.
That doesn't mean advocates of releasing Jonathan Pollard are giving up hope. Seven Jewish leaders who met Monday with Vice President Joe Biden said they were "encouraged" after more than an hour of back and forth.
A statement issued jointly by the seven groups noted that Biden had invited the group in response to their earlier request for a meeting. It described the meeting and exchange as "meaningful and productive."
That was all any participant said, although Abraham Foxman, the Anti-Defamation League's national director, emphasized — as others did, off the record — that the phrase "meaningful and productive" was more than boilerplate.
Foxman says he has an Israeli staffer who asks him after every meeting, "Haya kedai?" — "Was it worthwhile?"
"I told him it was worth it," Foxman said.
One measure of the seriousness of the conversation was how long it lasted — more than an hour, in Biden's White House office.
Another was the composition of the Jewish group, representing three major streams of Judaism and the spectrum of pro-Israel outlook.
In addition to Foxman, those in attendance included Michael Adler, vice chairman of the board of trustees of the Jewish Federations of North America; Rabbi Steve Gutow, president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the Jewish community's public policy umbrella; Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the foreign policy umbrella; Simcha Katz, president of the Orthodox Union; Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, executive vice president of the Conservative movement's Rabbinical Assembly; and Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism.
The day before, Pollard's wife, Esther, said in a statement that her husband, who is said to suffer from an array of grave medical problems, might not survive another year in prison.
"In the last year, as Jonathan's [medical] condition became worse, he was too weak to even sit through a one-hour visit. I feel he's withering away in front of my very eyes," Esther Pollard said in the statement.
She added that after "26 years, all his systems are feeble and we both know that the next emergency hospitalization or operation are just a matter a time, and that no one is promising us he'll make it through."
Pollard has been hospitalized four times this year.
Biden promised last month at a holiday reception at his home that he would meet with Jewish leaders on the Pollard case after telling a group of rabbis at a meeting in Florida that "President Obama was considering clemency, but I told him, 'Over my dead body are we going to let him out before his time.'"
The movement to free Pollard has gathered steam in recent months. Starting the ball rolling a year ago was Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who spearheaded a letter from 39 members of the U.S. House of Representatives calling for clemency for Pollard, a former U.S. Navy analyst sentenced to life in 1987 for spying for Israel.
Frank — and Pollard's supporters — were frustrated that they were unable to sign on a single Republican to the effort. Within the national security community, opposition to Pollard's release still runs strong.
Since then, however, a trickle of current Republican officeholders have joined the calls for clemency for Pollard, among them Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, and Tea Party-aligned Reps. Allen West (R-Fla.) and Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.).
Additionally, an array of former Republican senators and former top officials of Republican administrations — some who played a role on Pollard's incarceration — also have called for his release.
"We do not condone espionage, nor do we underestimate the gravity of Pollard's crime," says an Oct. 26 letter signed by 18 former senators. "But it is patently clear that Mr. Pollard's sentence is severely disproportionate and (as several federal judges have noted) a gross miscarriage of justice."
A number of the signatories had served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, including Sens. Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz.), Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.), Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), Birch Bayh (D-Ind.), Connie Mack (R-Fla.) and David Durenberger (R-Minn.) — a position that would have allowed them access to secret information that opponents of Pollard have alleged implicates him more seriously than the publicly known information he shared with Israel.
Biden's meeting came the same day that Obama announced five pardons and a commutation for Thanksgiving. None of those pardoned is still serving time. The action clears their record, and frees them to participate in areas of public life previously denied them, such as voting. (As it happens, it was also the 24th anniversary of Pollard's 1987 sentencing.)
Presidents may pardon and commute at will — it is one power not subject to any oversight. Traditionally they issue pardons around holidays; expect another round before Christmas. Obama has been relatively parsimonious with his releases; he has issued 22 pardons and one commutation. Bill Clinton gave pardons or commutations to 456 people in eight years, while George W. Bush issued 200.
The meeting also came the week that the White House announced that the president would observe the decades-old tradition on Wednesday of pardoning a turkey headed for the Thanksgiving table.
Esther Pollard last week published an appeal to Obama in The Jerusalem Post that noted the tradition of pardoning turkeys.
"While the pardoning ceremony is light-hearted, the values it demonstrates are solemn and deeply cherished," she wrote. "As the president of the United States, your granting clemency to a lowly barnyard bird demonstrates to the world the great respect that the American people have for the values of justice, compassion and mercy. It is in this light that I write to bring to your attention once again to the plight of my husband, Jonathan Pollard."

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
Drama queen Esther does not help Pollard's case for release. The Lockerbie bomber was released on false claims regarding his failing health. Pollard should use the prison's gym facilities; he enjoys better health care than most Americans. The more clamor for his release the more Americans and loyal American Jews are reminded of Israel's perfidy as a US ally.
Consider the punishment he would have received had he sold Israel's secrets and it is clear from the history of his access to classified materials he would have sold Israel's secrets if he had had access to them. Money was his motive in searching for customers for the classified information he was peddling. Let him rest in peace; it's cruel for him to continue the hype that he should be released.
"Four drug dealers, a trafficker in stolen goods, a gambler"
All better than a traitor who literally sold out his country for jewels, money, and a free honeymoon on the orient express. May he rot!
Pollard is right where he belongs! If Esther Pollard is your main source of information on the case, you are being consistently lied to.

November 17th, 2013 (F1Plus / Chris Cameron-Dow) - Lewis Hamilton declared himself "really happy" after finishing fourth in the United States Grand Prix. Hamilton being the racer he is, it's unusual for him to be satisfied with anything less than victory, but on the day fourth place was the maximum achievable for Mercedes.
Hamilton said after the race, "That felt good out there this afternoon and I'm really happy with fourth place. It was so nice to have a race where I could fight for position and make progress. The car felt much better today than recently so the change in chassis has definitely made a difference and a big thanks to my guys in the garage for their efforts there.
"I had a great start today and that was crucial to my race. We had to give up third place to Mark fairly easily to make sure our tyre management and strategy worked as it was more important for the team to finish ahead of Ferrari. There was no way I was letting Fernando past at the end; I was ready for him to make his move and had a couple of tenths ready to pull out if he did!
"We've had a few difficult races on my side of the garage and I'm so proud of the team for all the hard work they have put in. We're all determined to maintain our second place at the final race in Brazil next weekend."
In the second Mercedes, Nico Rosberg had a frustrating afternoon, struggling to move forward from 12th on the grid. In the end, he managed to make up three places to finish ninth and score two points.
Rosberg described his race:
"I didn't have a great weekend here in Austin unfortunately. It really started yesterday in Qualifying where I struggled with getting temperature into the tyres and starting from 12th place makes your race really difficult, especially in a one-stop race.
"I made some nice overtaking moves but we weren't able to do much with the strategy today because of the single stop so it's disappointing to only have finished ninth as our car was quicker than that today. Overall though, as a team we managed to increase the gap to Ferrari and that's a good result.
"After such a tough weekend, I'd love to be back in the car in Brazil tomorrow and not wait another seven days! We'll be pushing really hard there to end the season on a high."
With this double points finish, Mercedes have consolidated their second place in the Constructors' Championship and extended the gap to third-placed Ferrari to 15 points. With just one race left in the season - next weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix - it is now extremely unlikely that Ferrair will be able to catch Mercedes and re-take second place in the Constructors' Championship.

Martin Gardner: A Remembrance
The worldwide mathematical community was saddened by the death of Martin Gardner on May 22, 2010. Martin was 95 years old when he died, and had written 70 or 80 books during his long lifetime as an author. Martin's first Dover books were published in 1956 and 1957: Mathematics, Magic and Mystery, one of the first popular books on the intellectual excitement of mathematics to reach a wide audience, and Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science, certainly one of the first popular books to cast a devastatingly skeptical eye on the claims of pseudoscience and the many guises in which the modern world has given rise to it. Both of these pioneering books are still in print with Dover today along with more than a dozen other titles of Martin's books. They run the gamut from his elementary Codes, Ciphers and Secret Writing, which has been enjoyed by generations of younger readers since the 1980s, to the more demanding The New Ambidextrous Universe: Symmetry and Asymmetry from Mirror Reflections to Superstrings, which Dover published in its final revised form in 2005.
To those of us who have been associated with Dover for a long time, however, Martin was more than an author, albeit a remarkably popular and successful one. As a member of the small group of long-time advisors and consultants, which included NYU's Morris Kline in mathematics, Harvard's I. Bernard Cohen in the history of science, and MIT's J. P. Den Hartog in engineering, Martin's advice and editorial suggestions in the formative 1950s helped to define the Dover publishing program and give it the point of view which — despite many changes, new directions, and the consequences of evolution — continues to be operative today.
In the Author's Own Words:
"Politicians, real-estate agents, used-car salesmen, and advertising copy-writers are expected to stretch facts in self-serving directions, but scientists who falsify their results are regarded by their peers as committing an inexcusable crime. Yet the sad fact is that the history of science swarms with cases of outright fakery and instances of scientists who unconsciously distorted their work by seeing it through lenses of passionately held beliefs."
"A surprising proportion of mathematicians are accomplished musicians. Is it because music and mathematics share patterns that are beautiful?" — Martin Gardner

Veteran forward Martin Palermo, the oldest member of Diego Maradona's squad, is living out a dream as he trains with Argentina in Pretoria ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
The 36-year-old will compete in a FIFA World Cup™ for the first time, having been recalled to the Argentina squad for last year's qualifiers against Brazil and Paraguay, following a nine-year absence from the international scene.
"You cannot compare this to anything I have experienced before," said the Boca Juniors star. To be here is a dream and I am enjoying it to the maximum. To be among the 23 players is a privilege and I have to thank Maradona for giving me this opportunity. I am thankful to be among so many stars in this team."
To be among the 23 players is a privilege and I have to thank Maradona for giving me this opportunity.
Palermo admits he is mesmerised by the skills of his colleagues. "I keep telling my team-mates how amazing they are," he said. "I see what they do in training and they surprise me.It's incredible what (Lionel) Messi does with the ball - it's difficult to describe."
Palermo knows he must do well in training to impress Maradona, with Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and Diego Milito all ahead of him in pecking order. "I'm not sure when I will be able to play and give my contribution," he said. "We will see once the tournament starts. But I am here to help my team-mates and when the time comes and they need me, I will be ready."
Argentina are in Group B alongside Greece, South Korea and Nigeria. They begin their 2010 FIFA World Cup™ campaign against Nigeria on Saturday in Johannesburg.

Stewart Parker Hawk, 74, of Huron, lost his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on Monday, Dec. 10, 2007, in Firelands Regional Medical Center, Sandusky.
He was born in Shelby, Ohio, on Sept. 14, 1933. As a young boy he was quite ambitious, collecting scrap metal and old newspapers which he sold for money to help with family expenses. He mowed many lawns in Shelby and carried newspapers, having as many as seven paper routes at a time. Upon graduation from Shelby High School in 1951, he entered a dual-degree program with Case Institute of Technology and Marietta College, graduating with honors in 1956, with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics and mechanical engineering.
As project engineer for the Sandusky Foundry and Machine Co., he spent time supervising the start-up of new foundries in Glenrothes, Scotland, and Mihara, Japan, in addition to his duties in Sandusky. He served in the United States Army and Army Reserves from 1957-59.
After receiving his master's degree in mechanical engineering from The University of Toledo in 1964, he moved to Horsburgh & Scott Co. in Cleveland. Beginning there as a design engineer, he rose to become chief engineer of gears.
He also served in various engineering positions at Union Carbide Ferro Alloys in Ashtabula, Ohio, Cleveland Crane Co., Dravo Wellman Co., and P&H Cranes. In 1985, he returned to Sandusky Foundry as chief engineer and remained there until his retirement in 1997. He was a member of the American Gear Manufacturers Association.
As a youth, he attended the First Christian Church in Shelby. He was a devoted Cleveland Indians fan, and was a great supporter of public radio and television. Recently, he volunteered for the Erie County Democratic Party. He enjoyed fishing, boating and camping.
He is survived by his wife, Nancy McGuire Young Hawk, whom he wed on Aug. 30, 2002; a son, Stewart Parker Hawk of Shelby; a daughter, Cheryl Lynn Hawk of Akron, Ohio; their mother, Carol B. Hawk of Jefferson, Ohio; a sister, Mary Jo Huffman of Dallas, Texas; seven nieces and nephews and their spouses; Nancy's children, Barbara (David) Lazarony Jr. of Pacific Grove, Calif.; Kimberly (Christopher) Mehling of Lakewood, Ohio; M. Jared (Jody) Young of Vickery; and Daniel (Amy) Young of Toledo, Ohio; four step-grandchildren; his aunt and uncle, Evelyn and Don Yarman of Florida.
He was preceded in death by his father, Henry Stewart Hawk, in 1999; his mother Dorothy Irene (Wilkinson) Hawk in 2007; and a nephew.
Friends may call from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, and from 10-11 a.m. Friday, at Turner Funeral Home, 168 West Main Street, Shelby, Ohio. The funeral will be conducted at 11 a.m. Friday, at the funeral home, by the Rev. Brad Mc Bee, pastor of the First Christian Church. Burial will be in London Cemetery, east of Shelby. Memorial expressions may be made to the Shelby Academic Boosters or Shelby Athletic Boosters. The family would appreciate condolences at turnerfuneralhomeshelby.com.

The case for Jewish confirmation
Holding healthy, Jewish discussions on adult topics can guide Jewish teens toward making healthy, Jewish choices.
Text size
When I myself had the opportunity to be confirmed by my synagogue on Shavuot, admittedly, after the first class I decided to drop out. Like other teens, I was faced with so many choices, not the least of which was a lucrative lifeguarding shift that opened at the same time (for a teenager, $6.25 an hour!). I made the choice to take money over studying with the rabbi. Somewhat irreverently, I told my...

Inside The Guestrooms at The New York Edition
We've shown you all around the newly opened New York Edition hotel, as well as upstairs and downstairs. Now it's time to look at the guest rooms. (And look you should since the Edition's website is still waiting on room photos.)
True to the Edition design formula, the rooms feature neutral-colored furniture and fabrics, save for the dark oak wood paneled foyers and the towering dark walnut headboards. And yes, there is a fur blanket on the bed here.
All rooms also have white oak desks and giant windows to look out of. But not all rooms have scalloped ceilings and not all rooms have views of the Empire State Building. Allow us to tell you which ones do. After all, Edition is an expensive stay so let's be sure you get your money's worth.

The Tao Group May Bring Bottle Service to Room Service With Tao Hotels
Have you ever been at a nightclub and thought, "Man, I wish this place had a hotel room for me to sleep in. " No, of course not. No one wants to sleep in a nightclub. Not intentionally anyways. But the folks behind the Tao Group nightlife company, which runs the massively popular Tao nightclubs in NYC and Las Vegas, are giving the nightclub/hotel concept a try.
The NY Post reports that Tao Group partners Marc Packer, Richard Wolf, Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss will open the first-ever Tao-branded hotel at 414 W. 15th Street in a new 23-story building. The hotel is expected to be completed in Summer 2016. Details uncovered by the Post show there will be a rooftop lounge that can accommodate 240 people, a 23rd floor lounge for the same amount of people, along with another lounge and terrace on the second floor.
No word yet on how many rooms this hotel will have but you can probably expect Tao's pan-Asian cuisine to be served in the rooms, similar to the Tao-run room service we experienced last month at The Maritime Hotel. Tao also runs the Tao Ink bar at the Maritime, so we would expect a similar concept for the Tao Hotel. And we're assuming bottle service can also be delivered via room service.
But hopefully Tao will ditch this "Always a Happy Ending" tagline in their hotel marketing campaign.

Conferences Are So Over, Says Morgans. Now It's All About the Unconference
Sleep here for the Unconference
We've been talking for a while, now, about how sexy rooms don't maketh the hotel anymore; it's all about experiences. And not just ones that cost a wad of money; things that make you culturally richer, instead.
Morgans is the latest to jump on the bandwagon, partnering with
computer programming school technology, business and design educational institution General Assembly. Shrug your shoulders as well you might, but this partnership will provide "groundbreaking programming and educational content to Morgans guests and employees".

Mandarin Oriental Also Renovates New York and Prague, Will Expand Munich
It's not just in Bangkok that Mandarin Oriental is busy with renovations and residences, the group is doing a variation on that theme in New York, Prague, and Munich as well.
On Manhattan, Mandarin Oriental New York will be launching 42 refreshed one- and two-bedroom suites inside its Columbus Circle hotel this summer. The inspiration behind the design? Three "unique themes and color palettes – New York Sunrise, New York Dusk and New York Nights". Each of those aligns to a particular type of suite, with views of the Hudson River or Central Park. Above is the Premier Central Park View Suite, which has killer twilight views.

SLS New York Won't Happen Until 2016, But SLS LUX Is Coming to Miami
Our comparison between hotel opening dates and blind dates turned out to be pretty prophetic in the case of SLS New York: the hotel would have stood us up big time had we counted on that February 2015 opening – and that's after both 2013 and 2014 didn't happen.
As much as scaffolding has been looking serious at the Park Avenue hotel, we can add another year's wait to try the 190 rooms, rooftop with "killer views of the city", and "unrivaled restaurant and nightlife concepts": the hotel won't open before early 2016. Bummer.

Kimpton Hotels are nothing if not unique, colorful, and full of life, not the least of which is a new life with InterContinental Hotel Group.
Take for example, Ink48 Hotel, a former printing house with a front-page position to take in the Midtown urban scenery and the Hudson River. With spring in full swing, and Cinco de Mayo around the corner, Ink48 has just the spot, so to speak, for your special whatever whenever – the "Heaven Over Hell" Penthouse Suite.

The New York Edition is Prepping for Guests and a Grand Opening 'Festival'
We've only just recovered from the opening excitement of the Miami Beach Edition last November but now we're gearing up to do it all over again.
Ian Schrager and Marriott Hotels will open their fourth Edition Hotel--the New York Edition-- inside the iconic 1909 Clocktower Building on Madison Avenue on May 12. As Schrager himself told HotelChatter in February, the New York Edition plans on celebrating its opening with not just one day or night of festivities but rather, with a series of special events spread out over the next three months.
What those special events will be, we don't know yet, but we do know a little bit more about what will be inside this edition of Edition.
The modern luxury hotel will have 273 guest rooms that more closely resemble the cozy feel of the London Edition rather than the open plan of Miami Beach Edition. But since each Edition hotel is meant to be its own "custom-made-one-off", the New York Edition will certainly have its own defining look--one that blends the old and the new. And of course, the Schrager.

Inside The World's First Baccarat Hotel
The recent opening of the Baccarat Hotel & Residences drew much press and many a design nerd looky-loo, this contributor included. And, after spending time inside the world's first Baccarat Hotel, we, quite simply, loved it.
In a city like New York (well, there is no city like New York), space is always a premium, even in the most over-the-top of luxury hotels. The Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York does not have palatial-sized rooms, but it does have spectacular public spaces with great ceiling heights, creating the perfect setting for art and, what else, the Baccarat chandelier.

New York City's Best New Hotel Amenity Has To Be 'Putt Putt Park'
New York is always at the front of the line get all kinds of stuff, but their latest first might just be the best yet. It's a pop up mini golf course at The Hudson Hotel, and we want to go to there right now.
They're calling it Putt Putt Park, and it opened up for the season just last week. Visitors—and golfers—can expect a nine-hole course in partnership with the folks over at Recess New York, and it's all outside within the hotel's courtyard. From what we've seen they've gone all in with this creation, so of course there's a windmill and a loop-de-loop to ensure golfers are up for the challenge.

An Icy 'Iron Throne' Is Now a Real Thing In Midtown Manhattan
We do not have to tell fans of Game of Thrones that season five is hitting HBO this weekend, but we did figure it was worth mentioning that the Iron Throne is now a real thing ready for your visit.
It's the latest addition inside Minus5 Ice Bar located at the Hilton Midtown New York, and it just might make a great stop before or after your season premiere viewing party.
The throne is made of around 1,000 pounds of ice, and apparently it's even better than the ice we get here in the nifty fifty—this stuff is 100% pure Canadian ice. Of course photo opportunities are available, and visitors can even choose from white or black fur jackets that fit right in with those who would be considered royal citizens of the Seven Kingdoms.

The Paul NYC Is Open, The Gregory Is Falling Behind
2015 is the year of more manly hotel names in Manhattan. Tommie will hopefully arrive by the summer (reservations are open from October 1 for now) and The Paul NYC, which we first looked at late last year, is now open.
Paul is a NoMad, a millennial, and new to us, part of Choice Hotels' Ascend Collection. There are 117 rooms inside, ranging from Bunk Mods (yes, with bunk beds) to Terrace Kings. We had seen some renderings, with hardwood floors and pops of red and blue, but above a real-life photo from inside a double room. We don't see this way of lining up pillows very often anymore, but it's always struck us as unbalanced somehow. You can't sit against them or sleep on them like this, and it's not visually better than in line with the bed, so what's the point? Is that just us?

The Maritime Has Turned Into a Foodie with Room Service from Tao and Mario Batali on Deck
The North Cabanas at The Maritime Hotel is the spot where guests can kick off or wind down their day. Or both. We can't help but notice the gigantic spots on the ground, a clever nod to the nautical.
The North Cabanas at The Maritime Hotel is the spot where guests can kick off or wind down their day. Or both. We can't help but notice the gigantic spots on the ground, a clever nod to the nautical.
In August we shared the news that mega chef Mario Batali, along with partner Joe Bastianich, will take over all food and beverage operations at the The Maritime Hotel, located in Manhattan's hip Chelsea neighborhood. The yet-to-be-named restaurant is expected to open this summer and will be the first Batali-Bastianich collaboration in New York in almost 10 years.
In the meantime, The Maritime is making sure no one goes hungry, with complimentary day and evening receptions and a special in-room dining experience created for hotel guests only.
