"To Kill a Mockingbird," Harper Lee's seminal civil rights masterpiece that rocked the world when it was published, has come to the Bay Street Theatre stage, under the able hand of Murphy Davis as director. Cut down to 90 minutes with no intermission, the production is offered as part of the theater's Literature Live educational outreach program.
Home, James!, nestled in a bright, goody-filled spot at 55 Main Street, is closing its doors after 25 years in business.
"We're going to focus our energy into our wholesale collection," said David Cipperman, who owns the business with his partner, Josef Schreick. The shop features tableware, accessories, and linens, along with other personal items, such as Christmas ornaments, and has been a favored destination for shoppers since it first came on the scene in 1986.
East Hampton Gourmet Food, in the back of 66 Newtown Lane, has occupied the same space for the past 17 years, although its first incarnation was as a wholesale shop, specializing in baking for Dean & DeLuca's and Balducci's.
"When Ina [Garten of the Barefoot Contessa] closed the shop in East Hampton, we saw it as a nice opportunity to open our doors," said Kate Pratt, the shop's co-owner with Michel Mazuret.
Two of the East End's community banks, Bridgehampton National Bank and Suffolk National Bank, have posted their third quarter numbers, and both report strong earnings, but for Suffolk Bancorp, the good news comes in the midst of more troubling circumstances.
Picture a plethora of fans, cheering on their favorites as more and more participants are disqualified, sneaking forward to nab an autograph but perhaps secretly hoping to see an up-close "crash and burn" scenario.
Sounds like the Indy 500, but it also describes the dance marathons of the 1930s.

Yesterday, Selita Ebanks took the time out of her very busy day (seriously, this woman does so much!) to chat with me about last night's fancy event to support the New Yorkers For Children.
This program hits close to home for Selita, a native New Yorker who was in and out of four foster homes as a child. "It was a very scary time," she said. This program is one of the many ways that Selita—who spends as much time on philanthropy as she does modelling, acting and (most recently) designing swimsuits—gives back and makes a real difference.
"New Yorkers For Children is distinct because it's one of the few charities that focuses on children in foster care after the age of 12. Fifty percent of these children become homeless," she told me. "Two percent drop out of college. The program provides mentoring, scholarships and support."
To support the cause, there are two all-out, very fashionable galas every year. Last night, Selita wore a CD Greene silver leather dress, which she says is way flashier than her usual demure look. I asked her if she would borrow jewelry, but she said she feels like it's not worth the hassel. "It's like giving birth to a beautiful baby and having to give it back!" she said. "What I'm wearing tonight is an afterthought. My prepping includes making sure the event is a success and that all of my friends are there donating a lot of money!"
If you're down for the cause, too, go to Newyorkersforchildren.org to find a way to help out. As Selita breaks it down: "When people hear the word charity, they think it's all about money, but you can donate your time too." And check out her new swim line, too. Selita and I decided we'd wear it to the Bronx local pool if our trips to the South of France don't work out this summer.

They should have fixed before they ever released it. I only shot one roll of 100f and that was enough, I just didn't like it compared to rvp.
Well by reading the data sheet, it indicates that there some kind of special color filter in order to prevent a lot of the bad saturation colors, perhaps that's the one for preventing read? They seem to only suggest using it when you're shooting long exposures, but I definitely don't have one of those filters, do you?

I conducted personal interviews with individuals I identified as the research project progressed who would be able to provide me with information and insights on the topics in this book. The warm reception I received from this array of professionals was truly gratifying. Everyone I spoke with made clear that the issue of reform, not only of contractors but to some degree also of national security policy making, could benefit from objective analysis by a bureaucracy and industry outsider. It must be noted that the professional staff of the U.S. Congress can speak only on background and must not be named in any publication. I regret that I am not able to single them out by name for their generosity in sharing both their time and invaluable expertise.

Holiday shoppers can buy local and with meaning the first weekend in December when the 21st annual Yuletide in the Country Holiday Artisan Market returns to the Event Center at the Hamburg Fairgrounds. Cancelled last year due to the "Snowvember" storm, Yuletide in the Country will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6.
Yuletide will feature more than 175 artists and artisans and will highlight those from the Western New York area. New this year, the event welcomes craft wineries, distillers, coffee roasters and artisanal dairy farmers featuring gourmet cheeses.
"Adding these elements is a direct result of the public's interest in these artisans, but also our plan to continue to create a unique holiday market," said Dan Kaczynski of Premier Promotions of WNY, the event organizers.
Visible Imagination Press is proud to announce the re-release of Bob and Terri Skurzewski's book, "No Stoppin' This Boppin' – Let The Good Times Roll." To kick off the re-release, a book-signing event with the Elma, N.Y., authors will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11, at Dog Ears Bookstore & Café, 688 Abbott Road, Buffalo.
No Stoppin' This Boppin' looks back at the music scene in Buffalo from 1950 through 1964, when AM radio was king! Buffalo was home to many great DJs, and each interview in this book takes readers behind the scenes and shows how the broadcast industry worked, and how these DJs entertained with their on-air antics.
The new Elmwood Village Farmers Market at Buffalo State will make its debut from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, in Buckham Hall on the campus of SUNY Buffalo State, 1300 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo. A continuation of the popular Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market, the 20-week winter market will run through April 30 (with the exception of Dec. 26 and Jan. 2).
Buckham Hall is located on Rockwell Road near Grant Street. Free parking will be available on campus during market hours. The outdoor market at Elmwood-Bidwell concludes on Saturday, Nov. 28, and will resume on Saturday, May 7, 2016.
The annual Roycrofters-At-Large Winter Festival, a Western New York holiday tradition for nearly 40 years, will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 5 and 6 at the East Aurora Middle School, located at 430 Main St. across from the historic Roycroft Campus. The event will feature 35 juried artisans offering a wide variety of beautifully handcrafted items.
Artisans taking part in the event will offer everything from jewelry, wood, clay and books to metal, tile, glass, leather, pottery, sculpture and more. The famous Roycroft "Goodie Box" will also be unveiled at the Winter Festival. Crafted by Roycroft artisans Brian Newton and David Tundo, the wood bowl with copper lid will be filled with handcrafted works of art from Roycroft Artisans and awarded by raffle at the Roycrofters-At-Large Summer Festival in June. Raffle tickets will be available during the Winter Festival and make great stocking stuffers!
Two writers who contributed to the recently released and hot-selling book "Buffalo Noir" will take part in a book-signing event at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 27, at Dog Ears Bookstore & Café, 688 Abbott Road, Buffalo. Taking part in the event will be Gary Earl Ross and Lissa Redmond.
Ross's short story, "Good Neighbors," focuses on Buffalo's Allentown District, while Redmond's contribution, "Falling on Ice," puts the focus on South Buffalo.
For the 6th consecutive year, the Friends of Harmony barbershop chorus and quartets will be performing a holiday concert to benefit the Food Bank of Western New York. The concert begins at 7:00 at the St Martin of Tours church on 1140 Abbott Road in Buffalo. Help feed the hungry in your community and enjoy holiday music performed in beautiful 4 part harmony. For more information, contact (716) 573-5911, visit us on our website at www.friendsofharmony.com or on Facebook by searching for Friends of Harmony.
John Szablewski, a screenwriter and filmmaker from Buffalo, will hold a screenwriting workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday, Nov. 15, at Dog Ears Bookstore & Café, 688 Abbott Road, Buffalo.

In 2014, Szablewski's short screenplay, The Quota, won honorable mention in the NYC Midnight Screenwriting Challenge. In 2012, the Buffalo State College graduate's screenplay, The Horrors of Public Transportation, was nominated to compete for $10,000 in the Michael Collyer Award in Screenwriting from the Writers Guild of America, East.

Some Chevrolet dealers aren't sure it's worth it to spend five large on special equipment needed to perform routine service on the Chevy Volt.
According to Automotive News, some Chevrolet dealers have even stopped carrying the brand's first extended-range electric vehicle because, in those dealers' estimation, the sales of the Volt didn't justify the expenditure of an extra $5,100 for tools needed to service the vehicle.
The costs come as GM has decided it wants dealer service departments to remove faulty sections of the Volt's battery pack and send them back to the mothership for repairs rather than removing and shipping the entire battery pack, which weighs on the order of 435 lbs. To do that, a dealership would need a $4,735 tool that completely drains the battery to make removal of the faulty section safe.
The article did not specify what the rest of the $5,100 cost came from, although one might speculate it would be for training dealer service technicians on using the tool and safely performing the service. It would not be the first time dealers with Volt certification had undertaken cost to maintain Volt certification, either: The article said last year, Volt dealers spent $1,800 to $2,800 on tools, and mentioned dealers who had spent thousands on training, tools, and charging stations two years ago at the model's launch.
GM spokesperson Michelle Malcho said the costs were not in an attempt, contrary to some small-town dealers' suspicions, to force the smaller dealers out of being Volt dealerships so that major market dealers got all Volt sales. She said the practice of requiring dealers to purchase special tools or undergo training in order to sell and service a given model was "pretty standard," Automotive News reported. Malcho reportedly said the dealers who have quit selling Volts over the cost issues account for less than one percent of Volt sales.
Smalltown dealer principal John Holt, of the eponymous Chevrolet-Cadillac dealer in Chickasha, OK, said he had sold five Volts since the car's introduction. Despite that low number, he said he wanted to maintain the certification because the Cadillac ELR extended-range hybrid is something he wants to sell.
"…with the new Cadillac coming, I figured I'd be foolish not to buy the damn $5,100 tool," Holt said.

Since its debut, An American Family has been the source of controversy, and has become a touchstone in television history.
He is, instead, excavating the origins of a touchstone of the contemporary political debate.
On this, and on the variations of pain, you mentioned a passage in War and Peace that was a kind of touchstone.
Published by touchstone Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, Inc.
When we were taping the premiere, he was the touchstone in my head of, "Am I working hard enough?"
It is with the aid of this touchstone that I test the distinction between property secured and property controlled by the state.
Fictions or realities, could they survive the touchstone of this atom of common sense?
The Guaranty of Dismemberment, when brought to the touchstone of the three essential conditions, is found wanting.
Descartes therefore made evidence the touchstone of certainty.
And I am come to marry the maid, for I have brought the touchstone of truth.

Recently I've been going back and revisiting old works, and decided to give some attention to this. The concept behind it is a world where magic-possessing humans inhabit, and their powers naturally distort the land around them. Or something like that.
I think I've just been looking at it too long and could use a second opinion. I've been trying to flex my from-imagination muscles but not opposed to reference.
Thanks for your time!

I bought these pants 3 years ago. I thought I should share with you ladies how amazing this product is. This is my go-to pants. Stylish, sexy, super stretchy, lightweight, and warm. On the really cold cold days, I layer up and it keeps me warm. Its stretchy enough that you can bend your knees to grab a gnarly method and get low on the pow days. I have a pair of black ones, it looks great with all my jackets. I have NOTHING bad to say about these pants. This review is coming from a girl who has worn this pants for 3 years. I plan on wearing it all this season and the next season and when it finally gives out, I will buy the SAME one.
These pants kick a**!

I purchased the black and island green last season - loved every second in these pants. Took them to Canada and they kept me dry/comfortable. They definitely are a tight fit, but are super stretchy. I've always worn a thin base layer underneath. Note, they don't have any vents. Bottom line - they look rad!! Perfect combo with my Volcom jacket - the ziptech interface is clutch. Looking forward to snagging some of the new colors for this season!
Prom posing in Whistler, BC while murdered out in my black Battle Stretch skinny's!
Are these warm enough to not have to layer underneath or would you recommend an under layer on colder days?
Trace Carrillo, Gearhead
Hey there Julia,
These are just a shell, so some sort of layer underneath will be necessary on colder days, depending on your tolerance for low temps. With my 3-layer shell pants I like just a lightweight synthetic layer on most days. Looks like Jessica M. concurs!
If you have any questions give me a call at 800-409-4502 Ext. 4705 !

- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was a little skeptical at first about how warm these would keep me. They kept me very warm and are super comfortable! Got them in island green. Super stretchy as well. Love them! Would recommend them to anyone.
Love these!
I was looking for a slim fit pant with some flare at the ankle and these are exactly that. Really soft material inside and out and LOVE the back pockets. They are slim but have great stretch so it's easy to move in with no restriction. Wish there were even more colors to choose from because I'd buy more.
does anyone know the inseam on the small and med?? im, 5'9" and 110lbs and usually wear a xs-s but everything is always way too short. what do you think?
i'm 5'9", 125lbs. I bought a M last year. the length is good but i really, i mean really need a belt. if you go with M, i guess the waist will be a problem for you. S might be a better choice.
So cute!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
These pants are great! So warm, and fit snug so you can still look like a female on the mtn. I ordered a med and I wear a size 5-7 in jeans and they are great. I lift, so there is a little more space in the waist than in the thighs but overall so cute! So worth it!!
How are durable are these pants when it comes to wetness? If I'm constantly sitting on a wet chairlift does the water soak through eventually?

I have not watered it all summer, as I'd read that the plant likes it dry, however now all the leaves in the center segment of the plant are yellowing and turning brown at the tips. Meanwhile healthy growth continures at the top and bottom portions of the plant. Not sure what to do. It was so very happy for a long time, but now I'm not sure.

EUGENE (AP) — If you include people who gave up looking for work and underemployed people in part-time jobs, Oregon's unemployment rate last year was more than 17 percent of the workforce — almost double the state's official jobless rate.
Figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that 173,300 Oregonians were unemployed in 2012. Another 167,800 were underemployed or unemployed and not counted.
University of Oregon economist Tim Duy said the figures show that although the economy is improving, not enough full-time jobs are created.

Telenor : Telenor signs with UNI Global Union (Oslo, Norway - January 18, 2013) Today Telenor ASA signed an agreement with UNI Global Union, the voice of 20 million service sector workers around the world, in order to establish a platform and framework for dialogue between UNI and Telenor on fundamental labor rights. Telenor recognizes the importance unions can play in representing employee interests, and the role UNI can take in this regard, based on their knowledge and competence concerning labor relations. "This agreement gives us the opportunity to actively cooperate with UNI, to address employee interests and dialogue across the Group," said Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President and CEO, Telenor Group. "In accordance with the governing principles of Telenor, all our employees have the freedom to organize and to take part in the development of their companies." Mutual cooperation, satisfying working conditions The agreement between Telenor and UNI promotes trusting relationships between employees, their representatives and the companies within Telenor Group, through mutual cooperation and satisfying working conditions. It also establishes mutual understandings about the process of unionization among Telenor employees. The two parties will meet at least once a year, and have committed themselves to maintaining an ongoing dialogue. "We look forward to building this relationship with Telenor. Together, I believe that we can continually improve the work environment. UNI looks forward to sharing our experience with employees and their representatives when it comes to unionization," said Philip Jennings, UNI General Secretary. "We currently work with 47 multi-national companies to help raise standards and ensure respect for people in the workplace." Telenor and UNI respect the rights of all employees to exercise freedom of association, no matter where they work around the world. The management, employees and their representatives are jointly responsible for developing good industrial relations based on mutual respect. Asian and European employees can seek guidance from UNI "If our local employees in Asia, seek to form a union, it is Telenor's policy to offer support. They will now have an opportunity to seek guidance and knowledge from UNI. We see this as empowerment of employees," said Sigve Brekke, Head of Telenor in Asia. "The agreement with UNI will serve to strengthen our open and constructive dialogue between employees, union representatives and management. With UNI on board, our employees and their unions will now have more resources at their disposal," said Kjell Morten Johnsen, Head of Telenor in Europe. Read more about UNI Global Union.

1. One shot method. The best for raw quality and consistency.
2. Replenished method. Second-best for raw quality and consistency. Good idea if you are processing a crapload of film all the time. Might be a good idea if the club shoots enough!
3. Reuse method. This is the method you listed...except the times you named are wrong, and you can run three extended times after the initial batch, not two. The first time is 3:15. The second is 3:23. The third is 3:28. The fourth is 3:33, If my memory serves me correctly.
When you need to go to the next time is as follows:
After every:
12 rolls 135-12
5 rolls 135-24
4 rolls 135-36
8 rolls 110-24
3 rolls 120
1 roll 220
10 sheets 4x5
2 sheets 8x10
...per liter.
The oddball to me is the 220. Why can you do three rolls of 120 before having to add time, but only one roll of 220?

Jewett, Bruins churn past Lindhurst
By: Ray Hacke Journal Sports Writer
OLIVEHURST — Like flames snapping at the feet of firefighters in a burning building, host Lindhurst kept the heat on the Bear River High football team Friday night. Lucky for the Bruins, their running game was there to snuff out the flames. Running backs Johnny Jewett and Jason Varni scored three touchdowns apiece, and Bear River's rushing attack racked up 291 yards in the team's 48-31 nonleague victory over the Blazers at Dean Miller Stadium. "It's a dang good thing we were able to (get so many touchdowns)," Bruins co-coach Scott Savoie said. "We had a hard time stopping anybody tonight." Jewett, a junior, led all rushers with 180 yards on 21 carries. Varni finished with 51 yards on eight carries, and fellow senior fullback Brandon Vallero also had a rushing touchdown for the Bruins (4-1). "Our line did great," Jewett said. "They did everything they could. They make the holes, and we run through the holes." The success of Bear River's running balanced out the team's difficulties in shutting down Lindhurst's passing game. Senior quarterback Ricky Davis racked up 287 yards through the air for the Blazers (3-2), with senior receiver Eric Arroyo catching eight passes for 154 yards and three TDs and senior tight end Victor Arroyo catching five passes for 107 yards. It was the second time this season that the Bruins had trouble shutting down an opponent's passing game. They surrendered more than 300 passing yards to Capital Christian in their season opener Sept. 12. Still, as Savoie noted, "every time (the Blazers) scored, our kids answered back. As long as you can do that in big games, you're going to be OK." Bear River never trailed after Varni scored the Bruins' first touchdown with 5:54 to go in the first quarter. However, Lindhurst stayed close through the first three quarters, narrowing the score to 27-25 in the third when Eric Arroyo caught his third TD pass of the game. Varni scored on a 37-yard run on Bear River's next possession. The Bruins recovered a fumble on Lindhurst's first play from scrimmage following the kickoff, and three plays later senior quarterback Tanner Mathias uncorked a 40-yard pass to senior receiver Nolan Lewis, setting up a 1-yard run by Varni to pad Bear River's lead to 41-25. Junior varsity Bear River 37, Lindhurst 12 — Running back Sam Houston rushed for 125 yards and three TDs on 12 carries to lead the Bruins (2-3) in their final nonleague game of the season. Sean O'Brien and Jacob Harris each had 1-yard TD runs for Bear River. Linebacker Michael Wirth led the Bruins defensively with seven tackles (three solo, four assisted).

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Kerri Walsh Jennings Poses Naked for ESPN Body Issue During and After Pregnancy
Kerri Walsh Jennings earns a gold medal for her incredible body after baby! The 34-year-old Olympic volleyball player showed off her naked body during and after her third pregnancy for the 2013 ESPN The Magazine Body Issue.
Though she's known for wearing skimpy swimwear on the court, Walsh Jennings admitted she was very nervous to pose nude.
PHOTOS: Hot bodies -- best of 2013
"[It was] scary as hell. For the first shoot, I was very pregnant, and that wasn't as scary. I thought it would be, because I was big and rotund when I'm usually the opposite, but it was really comfortable because I felt almost like I was in costume," she told the magazine. "But for the second, I was two and a half months out from having a baby. I'm supposed to be tight and toned and strong, but I have a lot more work to do."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's fittest celebrity couples
In a behind-the-scenes video of her photo shoot, the 6-foot-3 mother of three admitted that her weight -- 158 pounds -- is not where she wants it to be after welcoming daughter Scout with husband Casey Jennings in April. (Walsh Jennings was five weeks pregnant while competing in the 2012 London Summer Olympics, where she won the gold medal with teammate Misty May-Treanor.)
"I'm 15 pounds heavy. It's not even about the weight, it's just about being toned and tight and with my A game," she explained. "I'd say I'm at least a month out from being ready to be in this magazine!"
PHOTOS: Nude, pregnant celebs!
How has pregnancy affected her body? "My boobs went away; that's the saddest part," Walsh Jennings, also mom to sons Joseph, 4, and Sundance, 3, shared. "But I saw every pregnancy as a time to transform my body, because I was a clean slate."
"But having babies -- literally delivering a baby -- makes me feel like Wonder Woman. Everything else seems minor compared to the soul-shaking thing that is labor," she said. "I'm still a critic of my body -- I'm still a woman -- but I respect my body more than I have in my life. It's not perfect, but I can't tell you how proud I am of my body."
PHOTOS: Incredible post-baby bodies

- VietnamAgricultureFunding via Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution Limited Liability
Animal Farm...VietnamAgricultureFunding via Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution Limited Liability
Tuất's GroupVietnamAgricultureFunding via Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution Limited Liability
001-Quảng Hưng Group
In 2005, Huệ joined Thanh Hoa Fund for Poor Women to gain access to financial services to help improve her living conditions and enable her to engage in business activities. Huệ has successfully repaid a previous loan of 3,079,800 VND from Thanh Hoa Fund for Poor Women. This previous loan was used to purchase livestock to raise and sell. She is now requesting a new loan of 6,000,000 VND which will be used to purchase more livestock to raise and sell. This will be her eighth loan from Thanh Hoa Fund for Poor Women. Huệ plans to use the additional revenue to supplement her family's income. (32)
Huệ is the leader of a six member group accessing a loan offered by Thanh Hoa Fund for Poor Women. While each member of the group receives an individual loan, they are all responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members, if someone is delinquent or defaults. The official name of this borrowing group is 001-Quảng Hưng (18.04.001).
About the Other Borrowers in the Group:
Additional Information
About Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution Limited Liability (Thanh Hoa MFI)Thanh Hoa MFI works to provide credit to women and their families in the central Vietnamese province of Thanh Hoa, one of the poorest regions of the country. The institution's target clients are poor and low-income women who have the ability to work but lack the capital. Accordingly, Thanh Hoa MFI prioritizes single mothers, low-income women with children who have dropped out of primary school, and Viet Nam's poorest women who cannot access any formal financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Wow...what a fine video! Thoroughly enjoyed that. Especially interesting to me, since I have an X-T1. I am very inexperienced with flash photography, so it would be nice to have some follow-up tips on gear and usage.
Anxiously awaiting the full Review!!!
michelowski: K-3 review, please.
Btw, I don't think anything can beat the Domke Gripper straps (with swivel).
Just wanted to drop a note to say "Thanks" for all the replies. While the review was nice, I was exposed to all the other selections out there contained in the replies. I'd say the Upstrap is on my short list. Anyone have a Kawa Pro Strap?
Merry Christmas in return! Really looking forward to the lens reviews!
Yeah! Thanks! Lenses are far too expensive to find out how they perform after the purchase.

What would you do if you thought you were having a stroke but no one believed you? If you're this tech-savvy woman from Toronto, you would use the flip-camera on your phone to record your stroke symptoms while they're happening.
This is what happened to Stacey Yepe, a 49-year-old Canadian woman who went to the doctor complaining of episodes in which her face went numb and she had difficulty speaking. Yepe told the emergency room doctors that she thought she had had a stroke, but her tests were clear and so they told her that it was more likely that she was simply stressed. So when it happened again two days later while she was driving, Yepe immediately pulled over, pulled out her smartphone, and started to record her symptoms.
"The sensation is happening again," Yepe begins as she starts describing her symptoms in the video. Pointing to her lower lip, Yepe shows how hard it is to smile. And a minute later, she describes how difficult it is to lift her left hand. All the while, she is struggling to breathe and to take the deep controlled breaths the emergency room doctors advised her to take to control her stress.
You can watch the episode below:
After receiving prescriptions for cholesterol-lowering medications and blood thinners and making some changes in her diet and exercise routines, Yepe is feeling better and hopes to return back to work in a few weeks.
And as for her video, doctors plan to use it to help train hospital staff to better recognize and diagnose strokes.

The Old Coggins Farm property on Old Farm School Road near Warren Wilson College is the project proposed in Buncombe County since the recession. Developer David Case is proposing hundreds of homes, open space, a small farm, office space, a restaurant and maybe even a school on the property. Neighbors are concerned about the impact on traffic and the environment.
- Filed Under
Developer David Case's Civano community in Arizona won praise from President Bill Clinton two decades ago.
The sustainable development in the desert north of Tucson ranks among his top accomplishments.
In the years since, Case has worked on other projects, but nothing has sparked his passion like the venture he and his partners will soon ask Buncombe County Commissioners to approve. ...

German in Mount Kinabalu death fallComment on this story
Kuala Lumpur - A 22-year-old German tourist died on Monday after falling from the peak of Mount Kinabalu on Malaysia's Borneo island, police said.
District police officer Rahman Kassim said Victoria Paulsen fell about 30 metres down a rocky surface from the peak of Kinabalu, one of Southeast Asia's highest mountains and a major tourist attraction in the eastern state of Sabah.
Paulsen had climbed the peak to see the sunrise with other tourists including a guide and at least one male friend, Rahman said. Her body has been sent to a mortuary.
The guide said Paulsen had climbed over a rope into a cordoned-off area when she slipped, Rahman told AFP but added that the police were still investigating the incident.
Kinabalu Park officers could not immediately be reached for further comment.
Every year tens of thousands of locals and foreigners climb the mountain, which rises 4 095 metres high above Sabah's thick rainforests.
Fatal accidents are rare.

A four-legged police officer has retired from public service, and will live out the remainder of his life with his handler.The 10-year-old Belgian Malanois, named Kimbo, has served the Henry County Police Department (HCPD) since Dec. 2005. His partner and handler is Officer Matt Perry. "Normally we work as a team on Henry County highways," said Perry. Kimbo received initial training in Holland. He continued his training in Lafayette, La. Henry police acquired him from their counterparts in Louisiana, according to his handler. "He is a titled police dog through the Dutch police trials in Europe," said Perry. "He is a dual-purpose canine. He is trained in narcotics detection, tracking, area searches and handler protection." The police dog has demonstrated his skills at schools and public events. Kimbo is able to track human skin rafts and crushed vegetation, and he can detect marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroine, said Perry. "He is certified once a year on the four narcotics [detections], and trains weekly," continued Perry. Kimbo has surpassed the $13,000 investment Henry officials made in acquiring him, said Perry. He assisted police in seizing several million dollars of drugs and currency, he added. "In 2009, I conducted a traffic stop for a minor violation on the interstate. Kimbo alerted a kilogram of cocaine and $40,000 in cash was seized in that one stop," said Perry. "What was discovered in a single traffic stop paid for him twice over." Throughout Kimbo's law enforcement career, he has located and apprehended numerous felony suspects, who probably would not have been caught had it not been for the police dog's superior tracking ability, said Perry. "Canines are important to the agency; they serve a very vital function," agreed Henry Police Maj. Jason Bolton. Once their careers end, the trained dogs should be with their handlers, said Bolton. The police dog is too dangerous to be given to an animal shelter for adoption, Bolton added. "I hate not having him at work, but it's good to see that he can enjoy the best quality of life for the remainder of his life." said Perry. He said Kimbo has developed spine issues. "He's now a personal protection dog, and he's good with my family," said Perry.

Hey, what ever happened to Humberto Sanchez and Jonathan Albaladejo?
Via CBS –
Derek Jeter has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right quadriceps injury, the Yankees announced on Friday.
The move was retroactive to July 12.
Jeter made his 2013 debut last Thursday but was pulled early after straining the quad. He missed the first 91 games of the season with a fractured ankle.
The Yankees were hoping Jeter would be able to play in this weekend's pivotal series against the rival Red Sox. New York is in fourth place, six games behind AL East-leading Boston.
"It's frustrating," Jeter said in a statement last week. "I don't know what else you want me to say. I worked hard to get to the point of rejoining the team yesterday. It's not how you draw it up, but hopefully I'll be back out there soon and help this team win some games."
He'll be eligible to return July 27 for a home game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The team has called up infielder Brent Lillibridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
So, there's a chance, at some time next week, that we can say Alex Rodriguez has played in twice as many games as Derek Jeter for the Yankees this season?

Via ESPN -
The Yankees called up Zoilo Almonte on Tuesday.
Almonte will make his major league debut by starting in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader, manager Joe Girardi said.
Almonte, 24, hit .297 with six homers and 36 RBIs in 68 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and will provide additional depth in the outfield. The Yankees like what they've seen offensively from Almonte.
"We really believe this kid's going to hit," Girardi said. "At times we really saw it in spring training. He struggled a little bit in spring training and maybe it was the excitement of making it a team, but he has [swung] the bat well down there, especially left-handed for him."
The Yankees called up Almonte, as well as reliever/starter Adam Warren, after placing third baseman Kevin Youkilis and first baseman Mark Teixeira on the disabled list. By using the roster spots on an outfielder and pitcher, the Yankees are lacking bodies for the infield.
Girardi stressed that the team will have to be creative, mentioning that outfielder Thomas Neal has played first base before, and David Adams could be used again.
"With all of the injuries, you kind of have to do it and guys maybe have to step out of their comfort zone," Girardi said. "They have been very willing."

Manhattan-born and Brooklyn-bred Dellin Betances has been called up to the Bronx.
The once highly-touted righthanded starter who recently switched to relief was added to the Yankees' bullpen before their game Thursday night against the Mariners, the team announced. Brett Marshall, who gave up five runs and threw 108 pitches in 5.2 innings during his MLB debut Wednesday night was sent down…
Yup, that's the best the 40-man has to offer. Wow.
Mark Montgomery is not on the forty…
The bigger question is: Between Vernon Wells, Travis Hafner, Brett Gardner and Ichrio, who sits to give Granderson At Bats? Gotta be between #11 and #31, right?
Yankees intend to call up infielder David Adams, according to a source, on May 15th. He will become the Yankees starting third baseman.
Good for him. To say that he's earned it, would be an understatement.
Last month, the Washington Nationals signed catcher Thor Meeks (NDFA—Marshall). How can you not root for a guy with a name like that? Hope he makes it to The Show someday.
Joba Chamberlain has a strained right side and will be put on the DL retroactive to April 28, the Yankees said today. Any guesses on how he did it?
Maybe, now, it will stop.
I can just see it now…

Man, this is going to be fun. There's a lot of decisions to be made between today and Monday on both the Yankees 25 and 40-man rosters.
Do you have any predictions on who may be added or cut from both?
What happens with NRI's Jayson Nix, Ben Francisco, Thomas Neal, Juan Rivera, Dan Johnson and Lyle Overbay? Has someone like Preston Claiborne or Josh Spence pitched their way on to the team? Someone else in the picture that we should be talking about in terms of coming or going? Has Ronnier Mustelier hit his way on to the team? Does Travis Hafner get a buddy pass on his rough spring? Is Brennan Boesch heading to the minors? Goodbye to Cody Eppley?
So, so, many questions…

Via Matt Snyder -
Just two days after being released by the Tigers, Brennan Boesch has landed with another 2012 playoff team. He has signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal — plus possible incentives — with the New York Yankees, reports CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
Boesch, 27, finished fifth in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2010 and then hit .283/.341/.458 with 16 homers in just 115 games in 2011. But last season, he hit just .240/.286/.372 with 12 homers in 503 plate appearances. He struck out 104 times while walking just 26.
Worth mention here is that Boesch is left-handed and Yankee Stadium plays very favorable for left-handed power hitters. In 32 career plate appearances in Yankee Stadium, Boesch has hit .367/.375/.533 with a homer and six RBI.
Boesch has never played first base as a professional, but he gives the Yankees the chance to put Juan Rivera at first. The Yankees desperately need corner infield help with third baseman Alex Rodriguez likely on the shelf for the majority of the season and first baseman Mark Teixeira out for the first four to six weeks. They have Kevin Youkilis to play either corner, so another corner man is needed.
With Boesch able to play left field — alongside Brett Gardner and Ichiro Suzuki until the also-injured Curtis Granderson can return — Rivera could be used at first.
Many Yankees fans seem to like this transaction.
So, here's a little cold water for them. This is a guy who had an OPS of .659 last season. And, the Tigers RELEASED him because they couldn't find ANYONE willing to give them a bag of balls in exchange for his services.
Look at the facts. This is a player who was so-so in the minors – reaching Double-A in 2009 at the age of 24. And, at that level, he struck out A LOT and hardly walked. (Not a good sign.) However, in 2010, in Triple-A, he got off to a hot start in a handful of games and carried that hot streak into the majors for two and half months. Then, the clock struck midnight.
From July 18th, 2010 through the end of last season, he's played in 312 big league games with the BA/OBA/SLG line of .242/.297/.377 (in 1,108 AB).
Hey, Yankees fans, it's the second coming of Dave Revering!
Oh, that Cashman, he's a ninja…not.
Yanks signed Ben Francisco, who was released by the Indians today. And, I don't hate this move.
Via MLBTraderumors -
The Yankees have acquired right-hander Shawn Kelley from the Mariners in exchange for outfielder Abraham Almonte, according to Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News Tribune (on Twitter). The Mariners designated Kelley for assignment on Thursday to make roster space for Kelly Shoppach.
Kelley, 28, appeared in 47 games for the Mariners in 2012, posting a 3.25 ERA with 9.1 K/9, 3.0 BB/9, and a 28.8% ground ball rate in 44 1/3 innings. The right-hander will earn $930K in 2013.
Meanwhile, Almonte will give the M's some much needed minor league depth at the centerfielder position and can also play the corners. The 23-year-old spent last season in Double-A, hitting .276/.350/.392 in 78 games.
Let's hope this one works out better than the 1981 trade of Willie McGee for Bob Sykes…
I don't think Cleveland is going to lose 94 games again this year…

The Cleveland Indians have signed first baseman-designated hitter Jason Giambi to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The Indians announced the signing Saturday, six days ahead of the team's first full-squad workout.
The 42-year-old Giambi spent the past three-plus seasons filling a part-time role with the Rockies. The 2000 AL MVP was a mentor to younger players and he interviewed for Colorado's managerial position this offseason.
Giambi could become the Indians' DH, a role filled by veterans Jim Thome and Travis Hafner in recent years.
A five-time All-Star, Giambi has 429 homers – just one in 89 at-bats for Colorado last year – 1405 RBIs and a .280 average in 18 big league seasons with Oakland, the Yankees and Rockies. Known for his patience at the plate, Giambi has a career on-base percentage of .403.
The dude still gets on base. But, he's 42 and the power is not what it used to be…
Via MLB.com -
The A's added another new piece to their infield on Monday, acquiring Jed Lowrie and right-handed pitcher Fernando Rodriguez from the Astros for first baseman Chris Carter, right-hander Brad Peacock and Minor League catcher Max Stassi.
The most interesting part of this trade, for me, is that it was a Billy Beane and Jeff Luhnow hook up. Always fun to see who out-smarts who there…
Yankees, Hafner Could Be Nearing Deal.
Give us your old, broken down, likely former juicers…
To be honest, I have been wondering about this for a while – pondering if the Yankees would make this move. It seems to make sense for both parties. But, if the Yankees are smart, they will limit Rivera to D.H. as much as possible. He's a dog in the field. And, he's a bit of a turd on the bases too.
Low risk, given the contract. And, I would not be shocked if he made the team.

The Philadelphia Phillies obviously weren't as concerned about Delmon Young's ability to play the outfield as his previous employers.
The former Detroit outfielder and mostly DH signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Phillies today. The contract also includes undisclosed performance incentives.
"Delmon is an experienced major league bat who will add some depth to our relatively inexperienced outfield and another layer of competition for playing time there as well," said general manager Ruben Amaro in a statement released by the club.
Average hitter, at best. Terrible fielder, at best. And, not the nicest person in the world, by any means. But, $750,000 ain't that much more than the big league minimum.
If he behaves, hits like he normally does, and they have a defensive caddy for him, the ROI here could be pretty good.
No idea if the Mets sent Brian Cashman a "Thank You!" card for baby-sitting Pedro for the last two years…

Nick Swisher is officially a former Yankee.
Swisher agreed to terms on a four-year, $56 million contract with the Indians late Saturday night, the Daily News has learned. The deal includes an easily-attainable $14 million vesting option for a fifth year based on plate appearances that could bring the total value of the contract to $70 million through the 2017 season.
The 32-year-old outfielder had received interest from no less than a half-dozen teams, but the Indians made the strongest push for Swisher's services. The Rangers, Mariners, Red Sox and Orioles were among the other teams that had expressed interest in Swisher.
Swisher's $56 million deal is the fifth-largest contract signed this winter, and the third-biggest for a position player. Josh Hamilton, 31, inked a five-year, $125 million deal with the Angels while 28-year-old B.J. Upton signed a five-year, $75 million pact with the Braves.
The only other deals larger than Swisher's this offseason were Zack Greinke's six-year, $147 million deal with the Angels and Anibal Sanchez's five-year, $80 million contract with the Tigers.
The Tribe gave Swisher and his wife, JoAnna, the red-carpet treatment during a visit to Cleveland last week, making it known how badly they wanted him in an Indians uniform.
Swisher grew up in a West Virginia town only 14 miles from Ohio and attended Ohio State, so the Indians' pitch centered around his potential homecoming.
Former Buckeyes head football coach Jim Tressel helped recruit Swisher during a lunch, while current Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer, basketball coach Thad Matta and baseball coach Greg Beals each recorded personal messages to Swisher that were played on the Progressive Field scoreboard.
Swisher's history with new Indians manager Terry Francona played a key role in the decision. Francona, who in 1988 was managed in the minor leagues by Swisher's father, Steve, has known Swisher since he was a child. Francona was very involved in the Indians' recruitment of Swisher last week.
Maybe "The Lish!" will wear #34 in Cleveland, in honor of Joe Charboneau? Of course, he would have to buy it from Zach McAllister…but he can afford it now.
