Young guns: Citizen ready to rock U.S.Written by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Don't let the youth of local band Citizen fool you.
Though two of its members just graduated from high school, the group has already put out two splits, an EP, signed with Boston-based label Run For Cover Records and will kick off a national tour on June 22.
"Earlier this year we were offered a tour with Man Overboard, and it was really frustrating to see we were getting tour offers and we couldn't do it because we were all in school," said Citizen guitarist and 2012 Start High grad Nick Hamm. "We were searching for any way we could to still do it, but obviously it just doesn't work when you want to graduate high school."
Prior to its national tour, Citizen will perform at Frankie's on June 17.
Nick's brother Eric Hamm (bass), Mat Kerekes (vocals), Ryland Oehlers (guitar) and Cray Wilson (drums) round out the group. Citizen's core of the Hamm brothers and Kerekes has been playing music together for years.
"It's really rewarding," Hamm said. "Obviously we've been around each other so much that we fight, and me and my brother kind of have clashing personalities. But it's been exciting because our past bands haven't really paid off, and when we started Citizen it's just like all of a sudden the shows are insane.
"It's crazy to see people as excited about it as we are, and it's awesome that it's with people that I've known for so long and that I grew up around."
Since forming about two years ago, Citizen has steadily built a name for itself. The first steps of that journey started in August 2010, when the band headed to Fairless Hills, Pa., to record with Vince Ratti (August Burns Red, Bury Your Dead, Tigers Jaw).
"I think I was 16 when we went out and recorded, and it was really the first time I had been away from home with a band," Hamm said. "It was pretty nuts. Like, our vehicle broke down and stuff, but it gave me a good taste of what to expect in the future."
The result was Citizen's split EP with The Fragile Season titled "The Only Place I Know," released on Nov. 26, 2010, via Either/Or Records. The release caught the attention of Run For Cover Records owner Jeff Casazza.
After releasing its second EP, "Young States," in September, Citizen sent Casazza tracks from its new split with Turnover. Impressed, Casazza added both bands to Run For Cover Records in March and released the split on May 22.
"He's known about us for a few years, and it was always the label that we thought would be great for us," Hamm said of Casazza and Run For Cover Records. "They're kind of the lifeblood of the scene we're in."
With a sound that Hamm described as "indie punk," Citizen has gathered a large fan base with its honest lyrics and energetic live shows.
"Our vocalist Mat writes most of the lyrics, but I think it helps us that we're experiencing growing up right now because it's easy to write about things that we're experiencing," Hamm said. "He writes a lot about dealing with frustrations of growing up and dealing with anger and things like that."
Fans have connected with those lyrics, too, as Hamm discovered during an intimate classroom performance at Bled Fest in Howell, Mich., last year.
"That was really, like, the first show I had played that immediately when we started playing I was just overwhelmed by the amount of people in that room and the amount of people that knew our words," Hamm said of the performance. "I didn't even know people listened to us like that, so it was just really overwhelming and really exciting."
With a strong core fan base and more than 7,500 likes on its Facebook page, Hamm is looking forward to that continued excitement with Citizen.
In addition to doing its first national tour with Turnover and Light Years this summer, Hamm said Citizen will probably begin recording its debut full-length this winter with Will Yip (Papa Roach, CKY, The Wonder Years).
"I haven't been past Chicago west," Hamm said. "So I'm really excited to see the country with good friends."
On June 17, Citizen will perform with NRR, React and Freedom at Frankie's, located at 308 Main St. Tickets are $5 in advance and $8 at the door. Doors are at 7 p.m. and all ages are welcome. For more information, visit frankiesinnercity.com.

Hamburg, NY: The Hilbert College women's volleyball team opened up their home portion of the game schedule on Tuesday, September 14th with a 5-set loss to Alfred University in front of 150 loud and enthusiastic fans. Even though the Hawks kept plays alive (145 attacks) and continued the action, it was their serving errors that eventually did them in. Hilbert gave away 15 points by serving into the net or long balls out of bounds. Alfred took game one in commanding fashion (25-13) yet Hilbert pulled it together for the 25-16 second game win. Games three and four were split by each team (25-23 in favor of the visitors; 26-24 for the home team) in what would be a see-saw battle for 98 total points. The final and decisive game went to Alfred in a 15-9 win; the Saxons took a 5-1 lead early and road their momentum to match victory.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

McFarlane/IDT Entertainment announce development deal
Wednesday, May 12, 2004
Todd McFarlane Productions and IDT Entertainment have announced a multi-faceted development, production and distribution agreement to produce animated programming and merchandise based on Spawn and other TMP original intellectual properties. Todd McFarlane Productions is best known for its multiple Emmy-winning Spawn franchise. IDT Entertainment is a vertically integrated entertainment/animation company. The company includes animation and film production through DPS/Film Roman, Mainframe Entertainment and DKP Effects, and video distribution through Anchor Bay Entertainment. IDT Entertainment is a subsidiary of IDT Corporation.
The initial project is the return of Todd McFarlane's Spawn: The Animated Series. Spawn is the story of a highly decorated U.S soldier, brutally executed by his own men. Reborn as a creature from hell, he fights a constant battle between the forces of good and evil. The first Spawn series aired on HBO from 1997 through 1999 and won two Emmy awards. Spawn, one of the world's best-selling comic books with hundreds of millions sold worldwide, has also been the subject of a live-action feature film released in 1997. Distributed by New Line Cinema, the movie has grossed over $100 million internationally.
"This agreement is better than marvelous," said Jim Courter, IDT's CEO. "Worldwide, the demand for a new Spawn series continues to grow. The first series broke new creative ground for an animated series and was its generation's most popular comic franchise. With IDT Entertainment as the animation partner the new series will be even better."
Grammy- and Emmy-winning Producer/Director Todd McFarlane will oversee all aspects of development and production, as executive producer. Terry Fitzgerald, senior vice president of creative development of Todd McFarlane Productions, will serve as co-executive producer and Sidney Clifton, senior vice president and head of programming and development for DPS Film Roman, will lead the creative development team on the IDT Entertainment side. DPS Film Roman is the IDT Entertainment company known for its award-winning production work on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and other popular broadcast television programs.
"Ever since the Spawn animated series left HBO in 1999, I have been asked -- almost daily -- when the show is going to return," said Todd McFarlane, Spawn creator and CEO of the McFarlane Companies. "I've been waiting for the right opportunity to not only bring the show back, but also do it with the intent of making it better creatively than its first incarnation. Teaming up with IDT Entertainment's DPS/Film Roman will allow us to take it to the next level of animation technology."
In addition to Spawn, McFarlane will create two additional animated properties. All three projects include animated broadcast television series, DVDs, feature films, video games, apparel and action figures, as well as other consumer products. McFarlane Toys, one of the world's premiere toy manufacturers, is currently on its 25th figure line for Spawn action figures and merchandise.
"The long awaited new Spawn series provides the perfect opportunity to match Todd McFarlane's legendary creative genius with IDT Entertainment's innovative animation expertise," said Morris Berger, CEO of IDT Entertainment. "Spawn will mark the start of a long-term relationship. Together, IDT Entertainment and Todd McFarlane can revolutionize comic animation and develop franchise properties of enduring value."
The McFarlane Group of companies produces award-winning animated television, feature films and music videos. Past projects include Pearl Jam's animated music video Do the Evolution, Korn's mini-movie-style video for Freak on a Leash, Jodie Foster's critically acclaimed The Dangerous Lives of the Altar Boys. Animation and live-action projects under the production of McFarlane and Fitzgerald have won a Grammy, two Emmys, two MTV Music Awards, and a Much Music Video Music Award. A leader in publishing and entertainment, the McFarlane Group owns the rights and trademarks to more than 250 intellectual properties and characters.
IDT Entertainment, a division of IDT Corporation, is a vertically integrated entertainment concern that develops, produces and distributes proprietary and licensed entertainment content, with a particular focus on high-quality animation. IDT Entertainment is in the early stages of production on two proprietary CG animated feature films, Gene Roddenberry's Starpoint Academy and a feature yet to be named, directed by Christopher Reeve.

Jewish Divorce 101
We Also Recommend
Although the rabbis accepted that some marriages had to end, they did so with great regret and insisted that attempts at reconciliation precede a divorce. The rabbis' emotional qualms about divorce are well expressed in a saying of Rabbi Eleazar: "One who divorces his wife, even the very altar sheds tears because of him" (Tractate Gittin 90b in the Babylonian Talmud).
History & Development of Divorce
The history of Jewish divorce is an ongoing attempt to rectify the biblically mandated imbalance of power in Jewish marriage–where the husband has the exclusive right to end a marriage. However, even the Torah, which allowed the husband to send his wife away for a severe breach of loyalty, qualified the husband's absolute prerogative to grant a divorce: He had to write her a formal bill of divorce and pay a form of alimony; and in certain specified situations, he could never divorce his wife.
The rabbis placed additional limitations on the husband that somewhat improved the wife's situation. They enlarged the number of cases where divorce was prohibited, increased the complexity of the divorce process, required the wife's consent to a divorce; and expanded the husband's financial responsibilities toward a divorced wife by placing a lien on his property to be paid in case of divorce.
Although the Talmud required that the get (bill of divorce) be granted with the husband's "full consent," the rabbis specified circumstances under which a wife could request that the beit din, or rabbinic court, attempt to "compel" the husband to grant a divorce, for example, if he did not fulfill his marital obligations. If a wife does not receive a get, she becomes an agunah, or chained wife, who cannot remarry.
Liturgy, Ritual, & Custom
The divorce ritual itself is straightforward. The couple appears before a beit din, and the husband authorizes a sofer (scribe) to write a get in the presence of two witnesses. The husband then drops the get into the wife's hands, declaring that she is free to remarry. The rabbi tears the four corners of the get so it cannot be reused, files it, and grants both husband and wife documents of release. This procedure is always adhered to by the Conservative and Orthodox movements and a form of it is used by the Reconstructionist, and sometimes the Reform, movements.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel

In Matthews 4:4, again Jesus;"It is written, Man shallnot live by bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God." Now if the bible is not the Word of God, then I would like to know just how humanity is supposed to know how to live? What was Jesus speaking about here?
QuoteIn Matthews 4:4, again Jesus;"It is written, Man shallnot live by bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God." Now if the bible is not the Word of God, then I would like to know just how humanity is supposed to know how to live? What was Jesus speaking about here?What I believe is the bible is Gods word made flesh so that there is some comprehension in this state of being to what God even "is". I refer to the 1 chapter of John.Humanity doesn't have to actually know how to live as how anyone lives was predestined by God in the first place. Verses such as Proverbs 16:9 does not distinguish a context to "only believers" because of Proverbs 16:4Pr 16:4 . The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.If God made all things for himself, then the sustenance of our existance is explained in John.Jn 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of menJn 1:9 It was the true light--which is enlightening every man--coming into the world.Religion can try to tell us that our coming to believe is a choice apart from Christ. I argue that this light is the manner, that we can understand, in which every man will be drawn to believe through Christ.
IMO, Jesus manifesting The Word in the flesh does not then negate the logos (written) and rhema (revealed/spoken) words of God from also being the Word. There is nothing I know of in scripture that says God's words (thought and/or spoken) are not His Word. Jesus brought it into flesh, walked and dwelt among us. I believe people stumble over that point of Jesus manifesting/becoming the Word and lose sight of the rest of it...sort of what you said Mickiel wrt the pancake. IMO, you cannot separate Jesus, the logos, the rhema...they are the substance of God, they are part and parcel, they are "The Word". All God's thoughts, His statements, His Son are, IMO, the Truths of God, in essence, the Word of God.IMO, the danger of separating these things from each other in our minds then leaves us open to beginning to attempt to come up with our own ideas, doctrines, and often the resultant error, as we no longer revere scripture as the inspired Word to live by that I believe it is...accurately translated, properly divided (interpreted), Spirit revealed.Psalms 119:89...To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word (logos) is set up in the heavens (YLT). Unfortunately some will do so, but IMO, that one verse alone is inarguable wrt God's Word.God's blessing, James.
Hi James, I do not intend to negate the bible or suggest that it is not of God. My comment about it realizes the reality that we do not have the originals, But as it is also in the world, then it is not whole and perfect no more than we are.
John 4:23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.Whenever we speak the truth about anything, we are worshipping the Father. When our native language becomes the truth, we are becoming the word of God.
We are the epistle of Christ--God's word written on our hearts and mind, enjoined to the saints by the Word of God.

Oh no. It's happening again.
I am NEVER satisfied with my hair. I have the kind of hair that I always have to style it somehow or else it's a frizzy mess. And I tend to want long hair when my hair is short and short hair when my hair is long.
Currently my hair is a bit past my shoulders. Not super long but not short either. I tend to either wear it totally straight or I'll use a barrel curling iron to put big curls in it. Nothing overly interesting. Oh, and did I mention I have natural wave in my hair? It definitely doesn't help.
I've been growing my hair out for about a year and a half. Before that I had an inverted bob which I loved but was a bit of upkeep. And now I am itching for short hair. Oh no! I started searching around last night and found some cute styles with bangs:

I just chopped 5 inches off of mine! I have the wavy and frizzy hair as well! I always want long hair, but honestly, my hair just doesn't do what I want to do unless I spend 35 minutes every day on it, and I just don't put the time into my hair to have it long! So I got it chopped! I love it! I can look really cute in a matter of 5 minutes!

I know what you mean, I really need a haircut too, and I'm itching for a shorter one, but fearing it will take too much styling and soon having a baby I'm sticking to the semilong hair so that I can always pull it back in a ponytail.
But I say go for it, change is always nice, and I love the styles you found:)

Well the warmer weather is coming & Naturally people have shorter hair in the summer. I have hair all the way down my back & I'm thinking of cutting it short. If you are I think you should go for the Katie Holmes style. She looks so pretty with that hair cut! Good luck with your choice!! =)

I don't know but I was going through the same debate yesterday. I just wanted to cut my hair and go dark! Usually every winter, I dye my hair like the colors in the pictures, just for a change. But with grad pictures, I knew that I couldn't because I wanted to be blonde in the them, and even if I dyed it in like Nov. it wouldn't be back to the usual light blonde by February. SigH!! Guess I'll have to wait till this winter.. But really, I do need some style to my hair.

- {Selma} Crazy Little World Of Mine
I wouldn't. Just so I'd know what it was like to have the hair grown longer...so it would give me more possibilities to change it. Your length is exactly at that state you just don't know what to do with it...it's neither short nor long and it's annoying. LOL I know the feeling. I'm letting mine grow, so I can cut it later on and until then try all kinds of crazy looks. ;)

I say "Do it!"
I have had short hair for all of my adult life. Every few months I go through the same thing where I want to try to grow it out just to see if I can do it, but then I get sick of the length and the weight of my hair and end up chopping/shearing it all off again. I just went to the salon on Tuesday and it was one of the most satisfying, aggressive haircuts I've had in a long time.
So, in my opinion, you should totally go for it. The Katie Holmes hair is super adorable.
It's just hair. It always grows back.

If you can pull off short hair (unlike me) then you should most def do a cute sytlish cut!! Summer is around the corner & it'll be nice to have less hair to make you hot & to blow dry flat iron etc (oh wait...does it not get triple digits where you live like it does here?) lol
The fun thing about hair is you can dye it cut & if you hate it, it grows back :) Plus you can get extensions too hehe

I love the first and last photos (although they look like very different haircuts to me!). I just got about six inches taken off mine and it's such a refreshing change. Although I think it's up to you in the end.... When I have little control over other things in my life (like workload, time, weather) then I like to make a change somewhere that I am able. If you feel like taking charge and making a change I'd say do it.

I had a short bob for almost 2 years and loved it, then I started wishing I had long hair to put in a ponytail. So I am growing it out. And now I wish it were short again... I feel your pain! The best thing is that hair always grows back, so I say - take the leap!

I am the exact same way with my hair! I have naturally curly/wavy/thick hair & am never happy with it & always have to struggle to make anything cute out of it! I always want to grow it out long, but get so impatient that I always end up cutting it short!
I think you should go for it! You should get the haircut in the 1st or 4th photo - both are adorable!
Haircuts always make you feel like a new person, too! :)

I used to be just like you... getting bored with my hair every 6 months and chopping it all off. Finally I decided to grow it out for the first time since i was 5. It's halfway down my back and it turns out my natural hair color is really pretty (who knew? haha)
I've never felt better about it!
I will always recommend growing it out because that's what most people are more attracted to (you could still add the bangs though haha)
Plus with long hair I don't have to style it... just let it airdry.

Oh, I know how that feels! I cut bangs a little over a year ago spur of the moment, and I've regretted it ever since! Let me suggest that if you have naturally wavy hair, skip the bangs-I have pretty straight hair, and I was ALWAYS fixing my damn bangs!
- February 10, 2011 at 11:13 AM

I say chop it off! I always get tired of my hair after a period of time, so I chop it off and let it grow back. (It's in the grow back stage now because of the wedding!)

I am always so indecisive about my hair! If I cut it I end up missing it, but when its long I get annoyed with it! Its a hard decision, can't wait to see what you decide!

- Scientific Housewife
I'm the same way. I'm telling myself I'm going to chop it off once it gets hotter but mine is long now. You should do whatever you think you'd like :)
- February 10, 2011 at 12:26 PM
- The Blonde Duck
I've been trying to figure out what to do with mine too. I want to keep the length, but have more pizzazz!
- February 10, 2011 at 12:56 PM
- Nikki
I do the same thing! I would look back at photos of yourself and see which cuts look the best. It always grows back though, so don't be afraid to go bold...
I think I was just talking ot myself there ;)

Chop! your beautiful face can handle it so I say go for it. Not many people could pull it off but you can.

I am going through the same right now and had that exact Katie Holmes haircut a couple years back and I LOVED IT!! I say chop and show!

I love the first pic! I say do it!
Of course to be fair, I am always pushing people to get bobs and stuff because I could NEVER wear my hair like that.

I personally am a fan of long hair! But I'm sure you'd pull anything off :)

i feel like you just described my hair. I really like the shorter bobs but have always been afraid to cut my hair that short

I love the first hair style!! I say chop your hair off, buy some good product and allow extra time when styling. Best of luck, can't wait to see what you decide.

What does your hair look like now?
I love all of those pics - super cute!
- February 10, 2011 at 6:18 PM
- Nora
I love all those styles but at the same time I am the same way, short hair vs long hair- so I've gotta say my advice would be to keep growing it and fulfill that want before chopping it off. I also had an A line at one point, fun but hard to maintain! stick with a cute bob!:)
- February 10, 2011 at 6:24 PM
- Amylou
I would say keep growing it but that is just because that is what I'm doing. You would be totally cute with short hair!

I hate my hair as well so I recently went for the bob hair cut as you may have noticed. I had been wanting to do it for most of last year but didn't have the courage since it was a big change. I am overall pleased that I did it but it does take a lot of blow drying and styling. I would say go for it because hair is meant to be fun and enjoyed with different styles.

I've been threatening for YEARS that I'm gonna chop my hair & dye it dark like Katie Holmes's but I don't have the cajones to do it. LOL
- February 10, 2011 at 8:40 PM
- The Non-Student
I'm not brave enough to do anything like that with my hair, so I tell you to do it so I can live vicariously through you!

When I started reading this post my suggestion was totally going to be to add bangs! I did bangs two winters ago and they weren't nearly thick enough but I think it's a fun way to totally change up your look!
- February 10, 2011 at 9:27 PM
- (Florida) Girl
I say go for it. All would look adorable on you.
- February 10, 2011 at 9:53 PM

These would be so cute on you! Love the Rachel McAdams one. And there's a different Katie Holmes bob that I'm OBSESSED with.

Keep growing it out! Trust me, you'll want the long hair back in no time. I've been growing mine out for two years and it's yet to be the length I want! I get that itch to chop it off too, but I refuse, ha!
I have to admit, though, I'd never seen that photo of Rachel McAdams and love that hairstyle! BUT... she probably had someone style it for her each time because my hair never looked like that when short!
- February 11, 2011 at 6:05 AM
- Candice
I think the Rachel McAdams cut would look adorable on you!
I've never been able to wear bangs due to a lovely cowlick. You definitely rock them though!
- February 11, 2011 at 8:21 AM

I say cut it. The best thing about hair is that it grows back (most of the time). I love my hair short. My husband likes it longer, but I think I might keep it this way for awhile.
- February 11, 2011 at 9:49 AM
- Shana
I agree with Salt...it will always grow back.
I do have a suggestion for your frizzies though. There is a Paul Mitchell shampoo called Awapuhi Ginger. It's in a black bottle and it's made to tame frizzy hair. There is an oil that you put on before you blow dry and it will give you the look of a Brazilian blow out. It's a little pricey, but worth it.

- shealennon
I was giggling reading this, because that's exactly how I am. I've had short hair for a while, and I love it, but I'm always itching for a change. I say go for it!! But then again I always am jealous of others' long locks, so maybe not. See, I'm no help!
- February 11, 2011 at 10:21 AM
- Victoria
i had long hair and did the same hair style....i was horrified at the way it looked and longed for my long hair back. now that I have it back I'm KEEPING it!! lol
- February 11, 2011 at 12:19 PM
- Signe
These haprcuts look great! I'd say go for it! Wouls be a great change for spring!
And be sure to keep us posted on what you decide :)

I suffered from chopper's remorse right after I cut all of my hair off a few weeks ago but now I LOVE it. It takes a fraction of the time to straighten and it feels sooo much healthier. I say go for it! It will always grow back :)
- February 12, 2011 at 1:27 PM
- OceanDreams
does your hair grow fast? mine does so i don't feel as guilty when i have chopped it in the past. i think shorter hair is easier to maintain, minus bangs which i get too lazy to do even with the swoopy bangs, lol. so my advice is if you don't like dealing with bangs maybe have a mid length cut that you can style. otherwise grow that hair girl. i'm actually growing mine out to give to locks of love. still have some inches to go first so my hair isn't really short when it's cut. :)
- February 14, 2011 at 2:47 AM
- cornflakegirl74
WOW! Lots of comments on this one!
If you can rock the bangs, I say go for it. I have ALWAYS wanted this look but I have long, curly hair and it ain't happening. So I like to convince those who can to try something new :) LOOOVE J Love's hair~bet this would look super cute on you!

I'm be happy today that I am here...
Srbo...the happiness of friends is what makes loss bearable. Your little one is as precious as they come! And I love the IT cover on the left...so creepy.
Thanks for all the kind words, very sad to say they just took her off life support. I can't stop thinking of her two children and I cannot imagine how they will cope.

Sophomore Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) was charged with the loss, tossing seven complete innings and allowing 11 hits. The sophomore was touched up for eight earned runs despite recording 10 strikeouts against the Bears.
The offense for the Lady Mocs was quiet, finding just six hits through seven innings. Junior Stephanie Rieck (Chandler, Ariz.) was 2-3 with a couple of singles while Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.), Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.), junior Tyler Templet and senior Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil) each recorded a hit. Tydingco also reached on a catcher's interference call.
Both teams were scoreless through three innings until Missouri State was able to put two runs on the board in the fourth inning. A single from Kerri Cunningham led off the inning and a home run from first baseman Stevie Pierce put the Bears on top.
Three Chattanooga runners stranded until the fifth inning, the Lady Mocs put two runners on with a Templet single into left field and a Poteat single through the right side, but a groundout ended the inning to keep UTC off the board.
Missouri State threw three runs on the board in the sixth inning on four hits and then added three more insurance runs on four hits in the seventh inning to extend the lead to 8-0.
The Lady Mocs go back to action Friday as they travel to Macon, Ga. to participate in the Mercer University Bear Classic. Chattanooga is scheduled to play four guaranteed tournament games before beginning an elimination tournament. UTC will face Northern Kentucky, Central Arkansas and Mercer over the three-day event.

Tag: Maasai grazing practices
Eddie Game: Why Tanzania is Wrong to Pursue 'Fortress Conservation' with the Maasai
The recent move by Tanzania's government to seal off 30,000 Maasai people from access to 1,500 square kilometers adjacent to the Serengeti in the name of wildlife conservation has drawn intense protests from both the Maasai and non-governmental organizations working in the country. The government will prevent the Maasai from grazing their cattle on a choice grazing area in the Loliondo Highlands — which the Maasai consider ancestral lands — but will allow a "Dubai-based luxury hunting and safari company" access to the land, reports The Guardian. The argument is that Maasai grazing practices are harming wildlife.
Eddie Game, conservation planning specialist at The Nature Conservancy, has written a blog post for the Australian site The Conversation arguing that the Tanzanian government's tack is an example of "fortress" conservation that is "unnecessarily blunt and crude." While Maasai grazing practices have reduced long-lived grass species prevalence in Tanzania in favor of seasonal species with deleterious effects for wildlife, Game says northern Kenya provides a shining example of "how pastoral livelihoods and wildlife conservation can be compatible." Money quote:"
Through the agreement of community-run conservancies, sections of communal pastoral lands in northern Kenya are set aside as grass banks. These areas are reserved for wildlife to graze but can be used by traditional pastoralists as emergency grazing lands for cattle in times of drought.
The grass banks are complimented by establishing rotational grazing practices that encourage pastoralists to graze their animals together and in a systematic fashion, allowing land to rest ungrazed for a period each year. Regular treatment of cattle for disease (a concern also in the Maasai lands) is provided as an incentive for collective grazing. A guaranteed price and safe transport of livestock to markets gives pastoralists the security to reduce their herd sizes. And the rapid spread of mobile connectivity and mobile banking technology is providing an alternative avenue for savings in remote rural areas.
Tourism is also thriving in these community-run conservancies, notes Game — with tourists clamoring to see both wildlife and pastoralists at work. "It is sad indictment of the Tanzanian government that the international public are being presented with an overly simplistic and unnecessary choice between wildlife and the traditional lifestyle of the Maasai," Game concludes.

Just wanted to see how everyone is doing and give the hurricane update.
FEMA has paid my grandmother off..(he he that sounds funny) for her house and she is waiting for the land $ now. She's moving to the Northshore (mandeville area) and getting a condo. My parents are doing ok. They still don't have a lot open and most places close by 7 or 8 but the malls have re-opened. Some of the flooded stores have not though. So there's limited selection. Baton Rouge is still insane. We do our errands suring the week b/c the traffic is so bad on the weekends! DH is still in Lake Charles and Cameron Parish. I'll figure out a way to post the pics he took. They are interesting!
I went down to New Orleans on Monday to meet with the Corps of Engineers and to get there, you have to go past the bar we frequented in High school. That area was unbelievable. Those houses were so gorgeous, old and full of character. They had water lines that just blew your mind away!! The bar looked like it was somewhat spared but it had the water lines as well. Just sad to see places you love closed and nasty looking, you know?
The HS I went to posted pics on their website and I was just amazed. The site is www.mtcarmelcubs.org You scroll to the first story that says, "Let us Restore Mt Carmel" and has a "more here" hyperlink. (I'm not trying to get anyone to give $$ or anything....just wanted you to see some pics.) And yes, I went to an all-girls school...don't laugh.
Anyway, how is everyone else faring?

The race for the final spot in the Earthquakes' CONCACAF Champions League group could be decided as early as Sunday.
Guatemalan Apertura winner Comunicaciones weathered the road leg of their semifinal with a 1-1 result against Marquense on Wednesday. Barring an upset, that would mean that the winner of Heredia-Halcones FC would join the Earthquakes and Montreal Impact in Group 5.
Halcones FC took a 2-0 lead at home last night. While that might seem like a significant margin, Heredia won't feel like they're too far behind come Sunday; the squad is 7-0-2 at home during the Clausura, including a 5-0 drubbing of Halcones FC on May 19. Apparently trips to Estadio del Monte on the Caribbean side of Guatemala are a daunting task.
For a full list of results from Guatemala, click here.
Saturday was another memorable day at the office for the Earthquakes what with another Goonie moment courtesy of Sam Cronin(ja) & Co. However, the most touching storyline goes to Marcus Tracy making his MLS debut after more than three years away from first team competition.
The former Hermann Trophy winner at Wake Forest took his game to Aalborg BK out of college, but knee injuries forced his career to take a detour. In fact, his last first team appearance came on Dec. 5, 2009 in a 2-0 Aalborg loss against Sonderjyske (he did make a handful of reserve appearances in 2010).
Count it up and Tracy's 76th-minute substitution for Marvin Chavez was his first senior team appearance in 1,246 days or 3 years, 4 months and 29 days. In other words, the last time he suited up, President Barack Obama was wrapping up Year 1 in his new house, iPads had yet to hit the market and, fortunately, Bieber Fever wasn't quite a thing yet.
Tweet at this guy and welcome him back: @MarcusGTracy.
The accolades (?) keep coming for Earthquakes mascot Q and UFC fighter Luke Rockhold. This morning, the duo received co-No. 1 honors in ESPN SportsCenters' Not Top 10 for their "Mascot Hit in the Groin by Soccer Ball" affair from last weekend's ceremonial first goal.
The video is up against New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and his infamous "Butt Fumble" for Worst of the Worst. To vote, follow this link and click "SportsCenter: Worst of the Worst" on the left column.
UFC fighter Luke Rockhold might not have scored the ceremonial "First Goal" on Saturday, but the judges gave him a unanimous decision after drilling Earthquakes mascot 'Q' in the groin with his shot.
Rumor has it 'Q' was demanding a re-match in the Octogon after the incident to exact his revenge.
How much paperwork goes into building a stadium? Enough that you need a dolly to drag it all into City Hall.
Club president Dave Kaval did just that on Wednesday, offering up a few trees worth of building documents for the City of San Jose to peruse over the coming weeks.
In the meantime, prep work continues at the site.
Dropped off all the hard copies of the Construction Documents to the City of San Jose #builditnow @sjearthquakes twitter.com/QuakesPrez/sta…
— Dave Kaval (@QuakesPrez) March 27, 2013
How far will fans be from the field when the San Jose Earthquakes open their new stadium? Quite simply, not far.
Here's a comparitve look at the rakes of various venues from around the league:
Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski is back to baffling opposing defenses. His nifty trap-and-fire from Saturday won the Earthquakes three points and is nominated for AT&T Goal of the week.
Fans can click here to vote and/or text G4 to 22442. Voting is open until 11:59:59 p.m. PT on Thursday.
Earthquakes defender Justin Morrow scored his second career MLS goal on Saturday, equalizing in the 73rd minute of a 1-1 draw in Columbus. Even better, MLSsoccer.com's Greg Lalas breaks gave the strike some love in this week's Anatomy of a Goal.
Take a look below to see the build up to @jmo_row_15's impressive finish:
Earthquakes rookie Adam Jahn has been nominated for AT&T Goal of the Week.
The Stanford product came off the bench to equalize for San Jose in the 83rd minute and earned a game-winning penalty in the Earthquakes' 2-1 result against New York on Sunday. Now he's up against Daigo Kobayashi (VAN), Hassoun Camara (MTL), Jamie Smith (COL) and Juan Agudelo (CHV) for weekly honors.
Fans can click here to vote or text G5 to 22442.
Voting runs until 11:59 pm PT on Thursdays. For complete coverage of the Goal of the Week - including an archive of Week's 1 winner - click here.
Chris Wondolowski does more than score goals and sign Designate Player contracts. He's also one of the faces of Nike's N7, a foundation dedicated to improving the lives of Native Americans.

Mightbe I hav played with Bakelite balls. Crystalate suppozedly were celluloid-based up until 1972. Praps, but praps not.
If they were celluloid based, then why did they (Endolithic Ball Co) pay royalties to Albany (theusofa) for the use of bakelite.
I suspekt that Crystalates were Bakelite after praps WW2. If so then the balls must hav been made hard and heavy by uzing a clay filler or something.

Here is an updated F30 3-series generation debut and sales timeline, as speculated by SCOTT26. The F30 3-series sedan will be announced in November of this year, coinciding with the Olympics. It will then make its public debut at the 2012 Geneva autoshow in March of 2012 and be on sale shortly thereafter.
Catch the rest of the timeline, including some insight into the 3-series Gran Turismo model inside…
The next generation F30 3-series is nearly upon us (we're expecting info on it later this year), so what is your improvements wishlist for the next 3 series? BMW does read the site and comments, so come share… you never know, your wish may be granted.
Here is a new rumor regarding the next generation F30/F32 M3′s powerplant – that a 3.3L V6 tri-turbo motor is a possibility! One turbo would power the motor generally, and the other two turbos would each be dedicated to 3-cylinders each.
Here are some of the clearest shots yet of the F34 3-series GT in testing, from some different perspectives than we've previously posted. We must say, the F34 GT looks much better in motion than at standstill.
Here are a couple new photos of the F34 3-series GT in testing runs on the streets. The 3-series GT will offer a simple hatch function rather than the twin trunk arrangement on the 5er GT. Spotted here is a 6 cylinder turbo version (335i or 335d).
We're excited to bring you the first spy photos of the 3-series Gran Turismo (GT) which will be released with the next generation of 3-series vehicles. With a sleek trunkline and frameless windows, the 3-series GT looks to be much lower and sleeker in shape than the 5-series GT and appears to be generally sportier in nature. The 3-series GT will offer a simple hatch function rather than the twin trunk arrangement on the 5er GT. Spotted here is a 6 cylinder turbo version (335i or … CONTINUED
While BMW continues development of the new F30 3-series set to debut in Spring 2012, German Auto Motor und Sport now reports about an interesting rumor: BMW is said to expand their lineup with a 4-door coupe based on the F30 platform. Internally called F36, BMW seems to consider 4-series for the name of this model. According to AMS, BMW is currently working on a first design model to showcase the car internally. Compared to the F30, the 4er is said to be 4cm or … CONTINUED
Car and Driver renders the F30 3-series sedan, one of the better ones that we have seen. We'll know soon enough as official F30 pics and details should be released by late this year, and its its world public debut just a few months later at the 2012 Geneva autoshow in March of 2012. The F32 coupe will be unveiled a year later in 2013.
Follow our complete F30/F32 coverage at: http://www.bimmerpost.com/3-series/f30/
These are the first pictures of a early hybrid prototype for the next generation 3 series from BMW, as indicated by the "Rescue" stickers on its doors (which has been present on past hybrid BMW test vehicles).
The F30 3-series will be the first 3-series hybrid from BMW and will adopt much of the technology from the upcoming hybrid F10 5-series. The F30 hybrid will be released some time after the diesel and petrol F30 versions are released next year.
Besides serving as proof of an upcoming F30 … CONTINUED
It appears that one of the BMW Vision Efficientdynamics car's more overt and distinguishing design features – the squared-off angel eye lights, will appear on the upcoming F30 3-series. This is the first we have seen this angel eyes design on a production BMW.
We first began seeing the squared-off angel eye lights on the VED concept car, a design concept which flowed down in less radical form to subsequent concept cars such as the Gran Coupe Concept and the 6-series Coupe Concept (all pictured below). … CONTINUED
On the heels of Jaguar revealing its aspirations for a potential F30 3-series fighter, Hyundai's CEO is now also dropping hints about a potential F30 competitor. John Krafcik recently said to Automotive News that "The Genesis Coupe is in the same segment, really, as the 3-series coupe" and "One of the things we're thinking is: Should we do something that's a sedan version of that?"
If it came to fruition, the Genesis sports sedan would share the same RWD platform now used for the Genesis sedan and … CONTINUED
SCOTT26 provides info on next generation 3-series, for which BMW is considering an "AFAST," a mix between "MPV, SAV and Touring" and GT model. Also details on the debut dates of the F30 sedan, F32 coupe, and F33 convertible.
In an interview with Automotive News, Jaguar's global brand director, Adrian Hallmark, lets known that the UK automotive company is currently considering bringing a small sedan to market. This new sedan would slot in under the Jaguar XF and compete directly against the F30 3-series or the Audi A4/A5.
The last time Jaguar introduced a smaller sedan with lower pricing to take on the 3-series was with the Ford Mondeo based X-type, which had little success in the competitive compact sports sedan segment.
But, Jaguar may be ready … CONTINUED
We bring you the most revealing photos yet of the upcoming 2012 3-series (F30)! Until now, the F30 has been fully cladded with little showing other than its general lines, shape, stance, and proportions. The strip tease has now commenced with part of the headlights now visible – showing beautiful LED angel eyes. The tail lights have now also been partially unveiled, showing a wrap around design featuring upsweeping light bars, LED indicators, and regular brake lights.
The production rear bumper has now also been installed … CONTINUED
Here is another F30 3-series render, courtesy of Bimmer Magazine. The front front fascia's more upright stance and lower bumper borrows from the current 5 and 7-series bumper. We hope the headlights come out as sleek as the ones in this render.
We reported earlier about the rumor that BMW was considering to build a fourth model at the US plant in Spartanburg, SC. Ian Robertson, member of the BMW board of management responsible for sales and marketing, now confirmed with FAZ that they were actually looking into this. While there's no final decision, Robertson said they "would by no means put that off the table." The US market continues to be the most important market for premium vehicles, so an US production would make sense for either … CONTINUED
Autocar Magazine in the UK is speculating that the rumored 3-cylinder engine that BMW has been working on for some time now, will be seen under the hood of the F30 3-Series. This should come as no surprise, as the 3-Series is the bread and butter volume car in the BMW brand, and such an efficient engine would go a long way into promoting BMW as THE brand for sustainability.
The engine itself is rumored to be a 1.5L 3-Cylinder diesel engine … CONTINUED
Motortrend has posted its speculations on the 2012 F30 3 series, ruminating on the F30′s size, wheelbase, styling, suspension, and powertrain.

Darryl Trotty Jr., 30, said he and his uncle, Milton Williams Jr. were standing in front of 141 Chalet North Court when they noticed several subjects approaching wearing camouflage coats and masks, according to North Augusta police.
North Augusta Lt. Tim Thornton said at around 9 p.m. on Friday, the suspects presented pistols and demanded money from the victims. Witnesses told police they observed Trotty being assaulted by the suspects, and Trotty was then shot in his left foot, police said.
Trotty was transported to a local hospital for medical attention for the gunshot wound, which police say was not life-threatening. Williams was not injured during the robbery, police said.
The suspects fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money from both victims, according to police. Aiken Countys Bloodhound Tracking Team responded to the scene but was unsuccessful in locating any suspects.
North Augusta Public Safety is looking for five individuals responsible for the armed robbery and assault and battery. Anyone with information about the incident or the identities of the suspects is asked to contact Public Safetys lead investigator, Det. Chris Toole, at (803) 441-4217.

This was last weeks cookie. Well, you know last, last week's cookie. Still wanting to make only slice and bakes, I used a recipe over on Smitten Kitchen. I added dried cranberries, and sprinkled them with powdered sugar. The problem was, that this was all I got out of that batch. I was reading blogs, and totally ignored the timer. Twice. They were delicious, and perfect with coffee. It's a shame my kids don't drink coffee. :)
And this week, I made whole wheat peanut butter slices. Twice. Both times the dough was so dry that when I tried to cut it, it just crumbled into little pieces. Which resulted in odd shaped cookies.
It didn't stop the kids from eating them. But it was totally aggravating. I am going to try to tweak the recipe. If I get it right, I will let you know.

If you like the following post or recipe, please be sure to comment! I'd love to hear back :)
Honey bees are buzzing on a constant search for sweet, alluring nectar. Dancing directions, dipping in an out of flowers, fuzzy thoraxes dusted in pollen, these little liquid-gold diggers bumble back to their home. The hive is a humming complex, both geometric and organic. Within, the nectar collected by the bees is transformed into hexagonal prisms dripping with caramelized sunlight.
Honey has been used by humans for over 10,000 years and been made by bees for tens of millions of years. This ancient sweetener is treasured by many civilizations and its people, young and old. Pollinating one-third of our favorite crops, honeybees are vital to our agriculture (almonds, raspberries, pears, strawberries, cherries, etc). Tragically, honeybee civilizations are in danger due to mysterious colony collapse disorder. Through future research, we can potentially help honey bees preserve and maintain their colonies and hives.
Scientists have been trying to pinpoint the direct reasons for colony collapse disorder, but a host of environmental and human factors complicate this mystery. What is known is that,
Humankind needs to act quickly to ensure that the ancient pact between flowers and pollinators stays intact, to safeguard out food supply and to protect our environment for generations to come. These efforts will ensure that bees continue to provide pollination and that our diets reman rich in the fruits and vegetables we now take for granted.
~ Solving the Mystery of the Vanishing Bees, Scientific America, April 2009 by Diana Cox-Foster and Dennis van Engelsdrop
I've come up with this recipe to pay homage to the humble, bumbling honey bee: A hexagonal honeycomb hive of sweet honey buns! A golden saffron honey syrup drips from the buns, reminding us of the flowers that rely on bees for pollination; and poppy seeds and oats scatter the top–just like little buzzing honey bees.
Click on the image below for the full recipe:
The Process:
Here, the little hexagonal rolls being brushed with an egg & honey glaze
After you arrange the dough balls with six balls surrounding one in the center, you let them proof into a hexagonal pattern!
As the honey buns bake, periodically brush them with the honey-saffron glaze.
Honeycomb Honey Buns complete with poppy seeds, saffron, and honey glaze!
Honeycomb Honey Buns Recipe:
Honey Syrup
- 1 1/2 cups honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- a few sprinkles of saffron (flower)
- teaspoon of poppy seeds
- teaspoon of oats
Honeycomb Bread
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 white cup + 1 Tbsp for the yeast (they're hungry)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 packages active dry yeast (or 4 1/2 tsp)
- 2/3 cup warm water
- 8½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 beaten eggs (3 for the dough and one for the top)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup honey
- cooking spray
- Heat milk, butter, salt, sugars, honey, and cinnamon in a pot until fully combined
- Mix one tablespoon of sugar, warm water, and yeast and let them bloom for ~10 minutes (they should get nice and frothy, give them a mix to help them out)
- Allow the milk mixture to cool and add the yeast mixture and stir
- In a large bowl, add one-third of the flour at a time and mix with all the wet ingredients–then mix and mix and mix!
- At this point, the dough should be very sticky but be peeling off of the sides of the bowl
- Cover it with cling film and let is proof for ~1 hour
- Once the dough has at least doubled in size, coat a round baking dish, an ice cream scooper, a knife, and then your hands in canola oil or butter (trust me, this is key)
- Sprinkle the surface where you will roll the dough with a good layer of flour
- This dough is extremely soft and sticky (must be all the honey)
- Divide the dough and make small balls that are about 1 inch in diameter
- Here's the fun part: place one sphere of dough in the center of the round baking pan and add six more around the circumference. This will make a hexagonal shape, mimicking the structure of a honeycomb!
- Keep arranging the spheres until you get close to the edges of the baking dish
- Allow the spheres to rise for another ~15 minutes until they reach the edge of the dish
- Combine one egg, 1 teaspoon of water, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of honey and brush on top of the dough balls
- For another touch, add a few oats to the centers of the hexagonal dough prisms (they're like little bees)
- Pop the baking dish into the oven for ~15-20 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and the rolls are cooked all the way through!
- While the rolls are baking, mix honey, water, saffron, poppy seeds, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a pot and boil until thick
- When the rolls are done, paint on the golden, honey syrup and let cool for just a few minutes
- Eat them as soon as they're out of the oven, nice and warm and fluffy!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPKaraK The perfect girlie cut-off!! FP cut offs are probably my fav cut offs. They aren't ridiculously short like some other retail store bands and they look perfectly vintage. So soft and comfy the distressing is perfect and not over done. These have a very different fit then last years shorts. These shorts adhere more to the womanly figure. They hug your hips at sit at your natural waist. They are TTS, if you want them a lil baggier you def need to size up, esp if you have bigger thighs. The color is true to studio photos. Love these!!! 1.13.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by chs111089 great jean shorts i've been looking for a pair of great denim cutoffs that are longer like these. i am obsessed with fp denim (i have about six pairs of jeans from fp, and my favorite pair of jean shorts are free people too). i've also been looking for some high waisted jean shorts. i bought these in both the lou lou and sheila blues, and a pair of the fp denim cut offs in the bottom of the sea color to compare against each other. first of all - these jean shorts are going to come VERY ripped up. the ones on the model are pretty put together compared to what you're going to receive. however, they fit great and look great on. i like the sheila better than the lou lou, because they don't picture it very well but the lou lou are not as consistent of color - the distressing shows much more extreme darks and lights, whereas the sheila are more of one color. i definitely recommend these over the other fp cutoffs that i got in bottom of the sea - those did not fit the same as these, the distressing was not as attractive. i'm normally a 25 in fp jeans, and i got these in a 24. i tried them in a 25 too, and they were saggy. these are not quite high waisted (theres about an inch between the top of the shorts and my belly button). however, theyre very cute, and i cant stress enough how great all fp denim is. recommend! 2.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bammer Hot hot hot! These fit great! Sometimes I have to buy a size up in FP but am usually a 25. The 25 in these shorts fit perfectly, so I would definitely say they are true to size. Wore these this weekend and someone whistled at me while I was waiting for the bus. I'm pretty sure these are a hit. 4.22.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by frankieg I still have them but I wanted a slimming fit I bought these because i thought they looked really slimming on the legs, and I was looking forward to getting a pair but when they came in the mail they were snug and didn't fit anything like they fit on the model. they are more like a high waisted short on me and they are pretty snug on me, even though they look good I wanted a more relax look. 7.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lori529 very Cute I received these today. i got them in the Lou Lou color cause i had a dark pair of FP shorts. i really love. these are really cute on but i don't know if i am comfortable with the high waist yet. i was thinking these are close to the pair i bought , but they are out of them in stock, and these are just the wait is high. so their cute comfortable and nice length not too short. nice jean material too. not that stretch material. all cotton. besides me getting used to higher wasted their perfect. i would recommend them if you don't mind the high waist. i think they will stretch a bit with wear also. i know my other pair does and they are the saem material. i guess i could make these kinda slouchy for the lower waist effect and love them too. 6.5.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by maggiean1 Really Great! I really liked these shorts they fit good and they look good. I can wear them with a t shirt in in summer, and over tights in the winter. The only thing that bothers me is that when I step into them sometimes my feet catch on the distressed parts and makes the holes bigger. But other than that I'm glad I bought them. 2.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rel My favorite shorts! I got these a while back and I enjoyed them so much that I thought why not submit a review since I would recommend them. These shorts are amazing they are not tight on my waist or thighs at all. I normally wear a 24 and that is what I got (5'2" ~105 lbs). I love how casual and comfortable it is. It's a constant struggle in telling myself that I just cannot wear it everyday no matter how much I really want to! 2.19.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by dcal Awkward on athletic legs I have athletic legs, these shorts look good on but they always ride up in the front when you sit down. They're cute but an awkward cut. 9.8.2012

Just a quick question...
I have a very simplistic home setup. Router is in the lounge (as that is where my telephone port is). Splits into a switch for the media devices, and a homeplug (this is my ONLY route of data through to the office that is accessible).
In the office, there's another homeplug that once again goes into a switch that is shared between my day-to-day PC and my media server.
Would it be beneficial to:
1) Put the lounge HTPC directly into the router (bypassing the hub)?
2) Move the server to the lounge?
The majority of the traffic is between HTPC and media server. Really my questions break down to
1) Does the switch between the router and the HTPC create speed issues?
2) Do the homeplugs (rated 500mbps) create speed issues?

Nathaniel Eugene Bright, 46, of the 20500 block of Strath Haven Drive in Montgomery Village was killed in a motorcycle accident late on July 12, according to Montgomery County police.
County police and fire and rescue personnel responded to East Village Avenue and Doubleland Road in Montgomery Village after report of a collision at 10:22 p.m. that night. They found Bright unconscious and a black and burgundy Honda CB 750 motorcycle in the roadway, police said.
Upon further investigation, police determined that Bright was riding a motorcycle and struck a tree while heading east on East Village Avenue as he approached Doubleland Road. He lost control of the motorcycle after hitting the curb of the center median, Montgomery County police Officer Janelle Smith said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, she said.
Police are investigating if drugs, alcohol or excessive speed were a factor in the accident, Smith said.
Police are asking anyone with information to call 301-840-2435. Callers may remain anonymous.
