Traveling tip: don't let female family members go alone to certain countries. Topping the list of countries that are a no-no include most of the middle-eastern ones. And Turkey too, like Sarai Sierra's family learned. Hopefully, they get a happy result from their trip:
Relatives of a missing New York City woman who disappeared during a vacation to Turkey, her first trip outside the U.S., are heading to Istanbul to look for her, her brother said Sunday.
Sarai Sierra's family was last in touch with her on Monday, the day she was supposed to start her journey home. The 33-year-old mother of two had been in Turkey on her own since Jan. 7.
Her brother David Jimenez told The Associated Press that he and Sierra's husband, Steven, were planning to leave for Turkey on Sunday night. He said he had no return date planned.
"I don't want to come home without my sister," he said.
Sierra planned to head to the Galata Bridge, a well-known tourist destination that spans the Golden Horn waterway, to take some photographs, said her mother, Betzaida Jimenez. Her daughter then supposed to begin traveling home and was scheduled to arrive in New York City on Tuesday afternoon.
I hope she is found. In a vaguely similar story of an American abroad, Saeed Abedini was sentenced to eight years at Evin Prison. God bless them both. . .

When the Japanese stock market lost more than six percent of its value on Wednesday in a massive sell-off, pundits jumped on the move to try to explain what happened, and what it all means. Evan Lucas, a market strategist at IG Markets, wrote:
The storm clouds are building: the Dow has just suffered its first three-day losing streak for the year, the Chicago VIX [fear] index has climbed further; Europe is sliding off its highs; China is slowing down faster than expected, and the BOJ [Bank of Japan] is holding [off] on additional stimulus action.
Hans Goetti, chief investment officer at Finaport, explained why:
We've been living in an environment where economically speaking, bad news was good news because bad news meant more monetary stimulus. The rally that we have had over the past one-and-a-half years has been mainly driven by central banks and now the punch bowl is about to be taken away.
Two analogies are often used to describe the actions of the Federal Reserve in the United States as well as other central banks around the world: the punch bowl, and the drug addict. Each is helpful in explaining the addictive nature of easy money (or alcohol or drugs) and the inevitable withdrawal that takes place when the stimulus is removed.
According to Austrian school business cycle theory these declines in markets are the inevitable consequences of an expanding money supply, sold as the answer to fighting a recession. Low interest rates, Keynesians believe, help to stimulate borrowing and investment which works to reverse the economic downtrend and get things moving again. There are numerous flaws in this theory, including not knowing just how much new money needs to be printed, or when to stop. The problem is simple: Central bankers don't know the answer to either question and as a result are unprepared for the consequences, or even to recognize them while they are occurring.

It's climes like these that call for a refreshing spritzer of a cocktail. It's hard to beat a classic gin and tonic, but this variation — which includes elderflower liqueur, mint, cucumber, and celery bitters — is far better. Don't skimp on the celery bitters; they add grassy notes that add another level of complexity.
For the recipe, keep reading. From Fine Cooking
1.5 ounces gin Makes 1 cocktail.
Garden & Tonic
2 to 3 dashes The Bitter Truth Celery Bitters
2 to 3 dashes elderflower or maraschino liqueur
4 to 5 mint leaves
1 slice of cucumber
1 lime wedge
Tonic water

Some quick winter league updates.
Wilmer Flores
In Venezuela, 3B Wilmer Flores is hitting .293/.363/.471 with 10 doubles and six homers, to go along with 13 walks and 19 strikeouts in 37 games.
(Note: unless I screwed up the math, I think there's a glitch in MLB programming somewhere and Flores' actual slugging percentage is .493. Slugging remember is Total Bases/AB. Flores has 41 hits and is listed as having 66 total bases and 140 AB. It should actually be 69: 25 singles + 2*(10 doubles) + 4*(6 HR)= 25+20+24=69. And 69/140=.493)
In most respects, those are numbers similar to what Flores produced this year, his extra-base hit rate in AA was 10.2%, in the VZL it's 10.1%. In 2012 overall, he fanned at an 11% rate in advanced-A and AA, in the VWL in 11%. His walk rate continues to tick upward, however, it was 6.6% in the FSL in 2012, 7.3% in the EL and 8.2% in the VWL. We're not dealing with full seasons here, but that's a nice looking progression. Moreover, it's been going on for two years now, since his walk rate bottomed out at 3.1% in 2010 in the FSL. Finally, more of Flores' extra-base hits are going over the wall; his 3.8% HR rate would be his best in any stateside league.
Earlier this week, Carson Cistulli at Fangraphs applied a tool he calls SCOUT where he regresses batters' strikeout, walk, and HR rate towards league average in cases where they are too small to be stable, and found that Flores was in the top six hitters under 25 in the VWL, and the youngest in the top 10.
Jordany Valdespin
In the Dominican, Jordany Valdespin is hitting .309/.420/.456 in 68 AB. No, he's not hitting for much power (1 2B and 3 HR), but the remarkable thing is that he's controlling the strike zone: 12 walks and 10 strikeouts in 23 games. Valdespin walked in under 5% of his MLB plate appearances in 2012, and now in the VWL is earning a free pass in 14.8% of his trips to the dish. Could that possibly be real?
– Juan Lagares does not have a single extra-base hit in 17 games for Aguilas: .258/.343/.258.
– Francisco Pena is hitting .248/.300/.404 in 109 AB over 37 games for for Aguilas.
– After his AFL time, Cesar Puello has popped up with Toros del Este and his hitting .217/.357/.391 with two HBP in his first 10 games.

The Northern Zone champions went two-for-three on the opening day of their respective USA Hockey Tier II National Tournaments on Wednesday.
The St. Lawrence Thunder Bantam Boys and the Potsdam Ice Storm 16U Girls skated to contrasting wins while the St. Lawrence Thunder 14U Girls were dealt a hard-fought loss. All three New York State champions will be back in action with preliminary round games later today.
At the Tier II 14U Nationals in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Thunder Bantams rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits en route to claiming a 4-3 decision over the Pittsburgh Predators in the opening game for both squads.
The Predators took early control of the game when goals by Jake Speicher and Eric Cooley just two minutes apart made it 2-0 with 9:24 left in the first period. Kaden Pickering got the Thunder on the board when he finished off a play set up by Wyatt Wilmshurst and Jordan Robert for a power play goal with less than six minutes left in the opening frame.
Kyle Shero restored Pittsburghs two-goal lead just 1:15 into the second period before the Thunder battled back to tie the game before intermission. Pickering cut the deficit to 3-2 at the 7:48 mark off an assist from Robert, who pulled the Thunder even when he converted from Wilmshurst for a short-handed goal with 1:15 left.
Shane Cryderman capped the St. Lawrence comeback with just 28 seconds left in regulation after connecting for a power play goal that was set up by Nick Henrie and Robert, who finished with a goal and three assists.
Noah Kormanyos turned aside 19 shots backstopping the win while Hayden Chieffo had 29 saves in the losing cause.
The Thunder Bantams, who are coached by Bobby Smith, will look to continue the momentum of their opening-game win this afternoon when they take on the Montgomery Blue Devils starting at 3:20 p.m. The Blue Devils opened with a 7-2 loss to the Denver University Junior Pioneers. The Thunder take on Denver in their final preliminary round game on Friday at 8 a.m.
Last years Thunder Bantams played their way to the national Tier II final last spring before settling for the silver medal.
In San Jose, California, the Ice Storm bolted their way to a 4-0 lead by the first intermission and never looked back in blanking the Steel City Selects 6-0 to open the Tier II 16U Girls Nationals.
Kirstin Barkley struck for the only goal the Ice Storm would need just 2:10 into the game, finishing off a play set up by Ally Miller and Natalie Giglio for a power play tally. Miller went on to generate two goals and two assists, including a shorthanded goal with 3:21 left in the opening period that put the Ice Storm ahead 4-0.
Kalie Grant, who helped set up Millers second goal, put the game out of reach with a pair of goals in the second period, the first at the 4:20 mark assisted by Barkley and the second, a shorthanded tally set up by Miller with 52 seconds left.
Maddi Dillabough (4 saves) and Allie Compeau (2 saves) combined to work the Potsdam crease for the shutout. Connor OConnell stopped 21 shots in the loss.
The Ice Storm, coached by Mike Grant, return to the ice today at noon EDT against the Princeton Tiger Lillies, who opened with a 5-0 loss to the San Jose Junior Sharks. Potsdam closes out the preliminary round on Friday against Grand Rapids at 3:30 p.m. EDT. Grand Rapids outlasted the Chicago Bruins 2-1 in its tournament debut.
Also in San Jose, the Thunder 14U girls got their Tier II tournament off to a disappointing start after giving up a pair of third-period goals in suffering a 3-1 loss to the East Coast Wizards of Massachusetts.
The Wizards jumped out to a quick lead when Piper Higgins connected 1:32 into the game but the Thunder pulled even just 37 seconds into the middle period when Katie MacCuaig broke through for an unassisted goal and the teams skated into the second intermission with the score knotted at 1-1 despite a commanding 20-8 advantage in shots by the Wizards.
A goal by Carmen Braceras put theWizards back in the lead at the 13:45 mark before Emily Devine then sealed the win with an empty-net goal with just 23 seconds left in regulation.
Sidney Molnar stood tall making 24 saves for the Thunder while Cassidy Smith handled 13 shots for the Wizards.
The Thunder, coached by Renee Young, will look to regroup this afternoon when they take on the New Jersey Colonials starting at 6 p.m. EDT. The Colonials blanked the San Jose Junior Sharks 5-0 in their tournament opener. The Thunder close out the preliminary round on Friday against the Nashua Panthers at 9:30 a.m. EDT. The Panthers edged the Naperville Sabres 5-4 in their first matchup.

MADRID - Dr. Stephen D. Fisher may have retired and sold his dental practice in 2011, but he has yet to perform his last oral surgery thanks to the Belize Mission Project.
Its a Christian-based mission trip, Dr. Fisher said.
He and his wife were joined on a trip they took last fall by 40 other people from the United States.
There were 14 dentists, three nurses, a physician, four dental hygienists, two dental lab technicians, an audiologist and several other dental assistants and general workers, he said.
Dr. Fisher, who operated practices in Potsdam, Ogdensburg and Massena for 32 years, retired and sold his practice to Dr. Lee Akin in March 2011, but he said he knew that his dental career was not over.
I wanted to use my God-given talents to help others, he said. Ive always wanted to go provide treatments to people in an unserved area.
During their week-long stay in Belize, Dr. Fisher and his wife, Deborah L., stayed on the island of Ambergris Cay.
During the day, Dr. Fisher saw patients in a clinic that was set up by participants in San Pedros Lions Den, their local Lions Club.
It was pretty primitive, Dr. Fisher said.
He said they had no x-ray equipment and many of their tools were powered by a scuba tank.
Normally you wouldnt be working in such an open area. Its a bit different than dental care in the United States, he said. When youre used to working in your private office with two staff members, it took a while to get used to people staring at you.
Dr. Fisher said he and his wife were responsible for bringing all of their own equipment and supplies.
I did mostly extractions, he said.
For patients with more serious needs, he issued referrals to an orthodontist on the mainland.
Each day he would see between 20 and 30 patients.
Mrs. Fishers days were a bit longer. She was part of a team that included several dental hygienists who visited schools in Belize and taught the children the importance of good dental care.
I was on a plane everyday by 7 a.m. flying back to the mainland, she said. Every child got a toothbrush, tube of toothpaste and a fluoride treatment.
More than 2,400 toothbrushes were distributed.
Toward the end of the week, once their dental work was complete, Dr. Fisher and his wife also participated in what they called a beans and rice program. Participants on the trip donated money toward the purchase of 100-pound bags of beans and rice that were split into smaller bags and distributed door to door as part of food packages that also included fruit and potatoes.
In Belize there were some beautiful houses, and there was some extreme poverty, she said.
But regardless of their situation, Mrs. Fisher said there was one thing that stood out in her mind about the people of Belize.
They were all happy and very friendly, she said. The children were very respectful.
Dr. and Mrs. Fisher enjoyed the experience so much, they have already made plans to return.
It was a great trip. The people were tremendous, Dr. Fisher said.

The focus and enthusiasm displayed by the Demons through summer conditioning and now preseason camp has players and coaches alike confident that 2012 will be a breakthrough season for the squad.
"The leadership on the team asserts themselves when needed. We don't tolerate a lot of nonsense. We have fun but not to the point it gets out of hand. That's a big growth from spring to now. We're definitely a lot more focused," said punter Nic Russo, part of a 24-man senior class, including 10 who became Demons in the 2009 signing class and another six who have arrived at NSU since as transfers.
"I think it's because Coach Peveto's first recruiting class is now the core of the senior class. They've seen the whole process through completely, so they're just ready and hungry. This is it, one last shot to get a championship, and they're totally sold out for the program," he said.
A focal point for any team is the quarterback position. Having a returning starter is a "big plus," said Peveto, and Brad Henderson's performance this week has been a catalyst for the Demons.
"When a quarterback is not the leader of your team, you've got problems. Leadership has gotta show, it's gotta shine at that position, and Brad Henderson is doing a very good job providing exactly what we need in that manner."
Senior defensive end Wade Williams believes another key is that about 90 players stayed in Natchitoches this summer, attending classes and combining on off-season voluntary conditioning workouts.
"We had a great summer and it is showing up now," he said. "The team came in really excited, ready to work. The conditioning and hard work put in really built momentum that is carrying us through into camp and allowing us to get good work done."
That happened Saturday morning as the NSU veterans worked in sultry conditions during two hours at Turpin Stadium.
"We had a solid practice and got better this morning," said junior safety Calvin Morton. After the newcomers went through a two-hour session Saturday afternoon, the Demons got their first break of camp. There will be no on-field activity Sunday. Practices resume with the veterans at 9:40 Monday morning and the newcomers at 4:40 Monday afternoon.

Actress: 'Nightmare' playing role in Libyan violence
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A Bakersfield pastor and actress who played a supporting role in the movie "Innocence of Muslims" said she and other actors were deceived by the film's director.
"This just turned into a nightmare," said Cindy, who requested only her first name be used in this report.
The movie inflamed anger in the Muslim world, especially in Libya. The American-made video depicts Islam's founder, Muhammad, as a homosexual and child molester.
As a result, angry mobs stormed the U.S. embassy in Benghazi and killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three members of his staff.
Cindy said Wednesday night that she landed the supporting role and was told that the movie was to be called "Desert Warriors," a film about the way things were 2,000 years ago.
"We never used the word 'Islam,' or any of those words were ever spoken at all," said Cindy.
But, after she finished her part, Cindy said she learned the film had been edited and did not resemble what she said in the movie. The video was dubbed into Arabic for the first time eight days ago and then posted online, resulting in violent protests in Libya and elsewhere.
Cindy said she called the movie's writer and director, Sam Bacile.
"I said, 'Why did you do this to us, Sam?' I said, 'You put us out there,' and he said, 'No, this isn't your fault,'" she said.
Cindy said Bacile told her to "tell the world that I did this," because he was tired of radical Muslims killing people.
"I think what he did was wrong," Cindy said.
She said she is saddened by the violence that has claimed the lives of at least four Americans in Libya.
"I pray now for the families of the loss, that lost their loved ones. And, I'm praying for the madness to stop," she said.
Though she is depressed about what has happened, Cindy does have some hope.
"Somehow, maybe God will turn this around and some good will come out of it, though I don't know how," she said.

16 U.S. Code § 2437 - Civil penalties
(a) Assessment of penalties
(1) Any person who is found by the Secretary of Commerce, after notice and opportunity for a hearing in accordance with subsection (b) of this section, to have committed any act prohibited by section 2435 of this title shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty. The amount of the civil penalty shall not exceed $5,000 for each violation unless the prohibited act was knowingly committed, in which case the amount of the civil penalty shall not exceed $10,000 for each violation. Each day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation for purposes of this subsection. The amount of any civil penalty shall be assessed by the Secretary of Commerce by written notice. In determining the amount of such penalty, the Secretary of Commerce shall take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the prohibited acts committed, and, with respect to the person committing the violation, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require, to the extent that such information is reasonably available to the Secretary.
(b) Hearings
Hearings for the assessment of civil penalties under subsection (a) of this section shall be conducted in accordance with section 554 of title 5. For the purposes of conducting any such hearing, the Secretary of Commerce may issue subpoenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of relevant papers, books, and documents, and may administer oaths. Witnesses summoned shall be paid the same fees and mileage that are paid to witnesses in the courts of the United States. In case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena served upon any person pursuant to this subsection, the district court of the United States for any district in which such person is found, resides, or transacts business, upon application by the Attorney General of the United States and after notice to such person, shall have jurisdiction to issue an order requiring such person to appear and give testimony before the Secretary of Commerce or to appear and produce documents before the Secretary of Commerce, or both, and any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by such court as a contempt thereof.
(c) Review of civil penalty
Any person against whom a civil penalty is assessed under subsection (a) of this section may obtain review thereof in the appropriate district court of the United States by filing a notice of appeal in such court within 30 days from the date of such order and by simultaneously sending a copy of such notice by certified mail to the Secretary of Commerce, the Attorney General, and the appropriate United States Attorney. The Secretary of Commerce shall promptly refer the matter to the Attorney General of the United States, who shall file in such court a certified copy of the record upon which the violation was found or such penalty imposed, as provided in section 2112 of title 28. The court shall set aside the findings and order of the Secretary if the findings and order are found to be unsupported by substantial evidence, as provided in section 706 (2)(E) of title 5.
(d) Recovery of civil penalties
The Attorney General of the United States may seek to recover in any appropriate district court of the United States
(1) any civil penalty imposed under this section that has become a final and unappealable order and has been referred to the Attorney General by the Secretary of Commerce or
(2) any final judgment rendered under this section in favor of the United States by an appropriate Court.

RAMSEY, Minn. - A mother is suspected of driving drunk to pick up her child at elementary school.
Ramsey police say the 38-year-old woman told them she downed a 22-ounce beer and a shot before picking up her 6-year-old Thursday afternoon.
Ramsey Police Chief Jim Way says the school's principal noticed she appeared drunk and called police. After putting her child in a car seat, the woman allegedly tried to drive away but the principal and another employee stopped her.
Way tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press her preliminary blood-alcohol content was 0.23, nearly three times the state's legal driving limit of 0.08.
She was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and driving under the influence.
She had been convicted of misdemeanor driving while under the influence in Anoka County Sept. 29.
