Centralia Man Charged With Financial Exploitation of the Elderly
James Downes of West Kerr is accused of taking $53,000 over a six month period of time by writing 76 checks for his own benefit on the account of a 76-year-old rural Walnut Hill woman. Downes served as the woman's medical caretaker and handyman for her rental properties.
Marion County Sheriff's Department Investigator Anthony Decker says the case was brought to his attention when the woman's son had completed a review of her financial account. He had become suspicious when bank statements had stopped coming to the woman's home.
Decker says Downes had allegedly written some of the checks to cash and others to a third party who then cashed them. Decker reports surveillance video has been obtained of some of the transactions made by Downes.
Decker reports the $53,000 was a large part of the woman's savings, but she still has some money remaining. All the money was reportedly spent and has not been recovered.
A warrant had been issued for Downes arrest and he was arrested at his home by Centralia Police Tuesday night. Bond on the warrant is set at $50,000.

Stepped Wildflower Roofs Top the Innovative Church Walk Housing Block in London
Posted By Tafline Laylin On December 10, 2012 @ 11:23 am In Architecture,carousel showcase,Daylighting,Design,Gallery,Green Roof | No Comments
Wildflowers and terraces top the stepped roofs of the innovative Church Walk housing block in north London. Architects David Mikail and Annalie Riches consulted the BRE Guide to Sunlight and Daylight to ensure that the new complex, which is comprised of two three-bedroom houses, a triplex and a one-bedroom flat, optimizes available light in each unit without blocking it for its neighbors. This is achieved through angled roofs and triangular roof lights that are visible from the street. Flip through our gallery for a closer look at the design duo's creative approach to urban density.
Constructed mostly with prefabricated cross laminate timber and Douglas Fir skirting, the Church Walk housing block sits on a brick base set in lime mortar. North-facing windows combined with the Ziggurat-like [1] stepped roofs and skylights are designed to maximize natural light despite the compact arrangement, and each family has access to either a planted terrace or a wildflower green roof [2] that mitigates rainwater runoff and protects urban biodiversity.
Clad on top with Siberian larch, each home is equipped with whole house ventilation and heat recovery, along with LED lighting [3], low temperature underfloor heating, triple glazing and superior air tightness – all of which address the need to curtail energy consumption. Every unit has its own entrance, and the designers have moved into one of them!

Higher Penetration Of Smartphones Increases Uptake Of Mobile Broadband Services In Latin America, Finds Frost & Sullivan
SAO PAULO, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The increasing coverage of 3G, 3.5G, and 4G networks and greater penetration of low-cost smart devices has significantly increased the revenue generation opportunities of mobile broadband service providers in Latin America. Mobile broadband is emerging as a likely substitute for fixed broadband in metropolitan areas, both in the residential and corporate segments. By the end of 2011, handsets already accounted for 80.5 percent of all mobile broadband connections. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.wireless.frost.com), Latin American Mobile Broadband Services Markets finds that the market earned revenues of $6.74 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach $34.41 billion in 2017, driven by increasing demand for mobility, penetration of smart devices, and convergent services and bundles."Consumer behavior has changed in recent years, resulting in higher demand for mobile Internet to access social network applications, instant messaging, mobile voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and many other value-added services and applications," said Frost & Sullivan Telecommunications Team Leader, Renato Pasquini. Although the market has vast potential, it is pegged back by regulatory delays on spectrum auctions, low spectrum caps, and lack of competition in distant regions and rural areas. In addition, users' inadequate knowledge regarding smart devices restrains its adoption in several zones. These challenges are compelling mobile operators to formulate innovative strategies and service plans to deal with the data traffic explosion and obtain returns on investment. Further, national broadband plans implemented by governments in Brazil, Chile, and Colombia are stimulating mobile broadband coverage. Mobile operators also need to work on network upgrades, planning and monitoring as well as building Wi-Fi hotspots for traffic upload, as it can minimize the impact of regulatory delays and mandates regarding tower installations.

Synchronize Your Brains with (Data) Storytelling
We all like stories. Why? We can lose ourselves in them for a time. Stories can make us feel as if we are experiencing something new. This also explains why movies and, to an even greater degree immersive video games and virtual worlds, are so compelling – but that's a topic for another day.
I appreciate the insight about the human brain and storytelling in the December 5, 2012 Lifehacker article, "The Science of Storytelling: Why Telling a Story Is the Most Powerful Way to Activate Our Brains," by startup co-founder Leo Widrich. With data storytelling one of the product scenarios of "QlikView.next," the article grabbed my attention.
Widrich pointed out that when we read words on a PowerPoint slide, for example, our brain goes into language processing mode; the brain is trying to decode words into meaning. In contrast, when we are engaged in storytelling (either on the telling or listening side), not only are the language processing parts of the brain activated—but also any other part of the brain that we would use if we were experiencing the events in the story.
Wait, it gets even cooler. Because this brain activity happens in both the storyteller and the person listening to the story, storytellers can synchronize their brains with the recipient of the story. Whatever the storyteller is experiencing, they can induce the listener to experience too.
What does this have to do with Business Discovery? A whole lot. The same principle applies to numbers on a page or screen as to words. If we just see the numbers in black and white our brain goes into processing mode. We try to figure out what the numbers mean.
With numbers, how do you get your (data) point across? How do you convey the emotion behind your discovery or proposed decision? How do you get others on board with you? If someone is telling or listening to a story about the numbers – how the numbers came to be, why they matter, what their implications are, and what should be done about it – more peoples' brains (and more of their brains) are engaged. Telling stories with data requires a connection to the data being analyzed.
And, to take this idea all the way to its conclusion, isn't brain synchronization the nirvana of business intelligence? The nirvana of BI is alignment – getting everyone on the same page so the organization can move as one in the right direction, based on facts.

MONTREAL - The Bell Centre hasn't been kind to Tuukka Rask and the Bruins.
Finishing off a back-to-back in Montreal on Thursday night, the Black and Gold fell to the Habs 6-4 in their rival's home opener.
The Bruins are now 1-1 on their three game road trip that ends in Buffalo on Saturday, and 2-4-0 on the season.
Boston overcame a 2-1 deficit to lead 3-2 late in the second period, but the game tipped in the Canadiens' favor with tough bounces and poor defensive breakdowns on the Bruins' part.
Montreal led 4-3 heading to the final 20 minutes, and sealed their 6-4 win late in the third.
"I don't know, I've got to do something about it," Rask said with a sigh postgame in Montreal, of his troubles against the Habs. "You know, I don't know, I'll figure something out."
"We started good, I felt good in the first and then you get that one bounce, 'OK, we'll battle through it.' Then you get another one and you're like 'OK, doesn't matter,' and then you get a third one, and then you're kind of like 'OK, it's one of those nights again', so it's just - I've got no answer."
MONTREAL - A quick look at the schedule heading into the 2014-15 season showed that the Bruins' October 16th meeting with the Canadiens wasn't going to present an easy situation for them.
Boston would be heading into Montreal on the second end of a road back-to-back, with the Habs ready and waiting to kick off their first game at the Bell Centre and put on a show for the home crowd.
The Black and Gold made it tougher on themselves, starting the season at 1-3-0, with just four goals, and the lineup in flux as they tried to find the right mix.
But they made it much easier on themselves Wednesday night, by providing their best effort of the season with a 3-2 shootout win over the Red Wings.
"It helps a lot," Milan Lucic said postgame from Detroit, before the team jetted off to Montreal. "You see when we play determined to win, and when we focus on just playing a hard, heavy game, it gives us success, so we have to have the same mindset going into [Thursday] night."
Lucic knew which question would be coming next, so he decided to rattle off the answer himself.
"We know we're heading into Montreal, home opener, they beat us last year in the playoffs," he said, not blind to the storylines heading into the first Bruins-Habs tilt since Game 7.
"But we can't think about that - we just have to think about going there and winning ourselves a hockey game and coming out successful out of this road trip."
DETROIT - The Bruins needed a win.
They needed something positive, an ounce of that feeling of victory that had been lost since they squeaked out a win in the season opener on October 8.
They finally earned it on Wednesday night in Detroit, taking down the Red Wings 3-2 in the shootout, before quickly jetting off to Montreal to face the Canadiens in their home opener on Thursday.
It was a much needed jolt.
"I thought we played a real good game," Head Coach Claude Julien said postgame in Detroit. "It was a tough win, but a win I thought we deserved."
"You know, it's nice to see us come up with a win in probably the best game so far this year. We did a lot of good things."
Reilly Smith and David Krejci both scored in regulation, and then followed that up in the shootout. Smith's attempt past Jimmy Howard served as the winner.
"We definitely came out with a lot more energy, played our game more than we we in the last couple, so it was good," Smith said. "I think we showed we're a much better team than what we showed the last four games."
DETROIT - The Bruins hit the ice for a pregame skate on Wednesday morning at Joe Louis Arena, prior to facing the Red Wings for the second time in the past week.
Game time is set for 8:00 p.m. ET in Detroit (NBCSN, 98.5 The Sports Hub).
The Bruins come in looking to build off a strong showing against Colorado despite the last second loss. They hope to kick-start their three game road trip with a much needed two points against Detroit in Game No. 5 on the season.
"It's more of a 'need' thing now. We got better last game and we need to build on it," said Dougie Hamilton.
The Wings, meanwhile, sit at 1-1-0 with their only win coming over the Bruins last Wednesday in their home opener. They lost 3-2 to Anaheim in the final 24 seconds on Saturday.
"You don't get any moral victories in this league, obviously," said Detroit Head Coach Mike Babcock. "Both Boston and us have both lost right in the last second there recently. Both teams really need wins. Should be fun."
Boston is in desperate need of goals, having only scored four through their first five games. As a result, Tuesday's practice heavily emphasized crashing the net and finding seams to get more pucks on goal. The talk around the locker room has been centered around scoring goals from the "dirty" areas.
BostonBruins.com - For Simon Gagne, it all started with a chat with Patrice Bergeron.
They were at home in Quebec in July, hosting their annual Pro-Am Gagne-Bergeron charity hockey game.
Gagne had been training. He was in good shape. He wanted to return to the NHL.
With a year out of action, a contract would not make sense for NHL teams. He wasn't waiting for a contract. But he was hoping for a tryout.
"I'll see Peter in the next couple weeks and talk to him about you," Bergeron told his friend, knowing full well his GM would be the one making the decision on whether to reach out to Gagne or not.
"I just mentioned it to Peter that he was there, available and wanted to play and that was it," Bergeron said. "I definitely didn't make the decision, but I just told him that he looked good on the ice and the rest was up to management and them to make a decision."
As it turned out, Chiarelli called Gagne's agent. Gagne spoke with Julien.
"Things went really good from that point on," Gagne recounted. "A couple days after that, I had the tryout contract on my table and I signed it right away."
WILMINGTON, Mass. - The Bruins hit the ice for practice on Tuesday at Ristuccia Arena before flying out to Detroit to begin a three-game road trip against the Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres.
Prior to practice, GM Peter Chiarelli announced that the club had signed forward Simon Gagne to a one-year contract (cap figure of $600,000). In other roster transactions, the Bruins waived Bobby Robins for the purpose of assignment to Providence and assigned Jordan Caron to Providence.
Gagne, who started skating with the Bruins during informal practices and has been with the team since the first day of training camp, practiced on a line with Daniel Paille and Ryan Spooner.
The trio skated together for a significant part of camp as well. Gagne is a left shot but has mostly played on the right wing in his time with the Bruins.
"My conversation with Peter was, 'whatever it takes'," Gagne said following practice. "And I'll be whatever - if I have to be the extra guy, on the fourth line or a guy who will replace some guys when things aren't going well, or injuries, play on the PK, power play, whatever it takes, I'm here to help the team win and I'm really happy I have a chance to get back to the League with a good team, so I'm open to everything."
"And we'll see how it starts [on Wednesday against Detroit] - I think I'm starting with Piesy and Spooner - so if Claude wants me to play there, I'll play there."
BOSTON - David Krejci knows well what winning a game with less than a second feels like, having stolen the Bruins a win early in the 2013-14 season with 0.8 left on the clock.
On Monday afternoon, those emotions were flipped, as he watched Daniel Briere find the back of the net with just 0.4 left in regulation to lift the Colorado Avalanche to a 2-1 win over Boston.
The Bruins dropped to 1-3-0 on the season.
"It's tough, you know, but nothing you can do about it," Krejci said from the Bruins' locker room postgame. "We thought the last minute, that it was going to overtime, but you've got to play till the last second, and they scored - so it is what it is."
The Black and Gold were coming off two efforts that they deemed "unacceptable" by their high standards, with the latest 4-0 loss to the Caps serving as a tipping point, especially for the Bruins' leadership group.
"It's going to sting a lot more, especially within the last second of the game," said defensemen Matt Bartkowski, who slotted into the lineup in place of Kevan Miller. "More importantly, there were a lot of things we did well and I thought we could have been rewarded a little bit more, but there's a lot to build on, which is a key thing, and what we need to focus on right now."
BOSTON - David Krejci has been cleared for game action, as the Bruins host the Colorado Avalanche in a Monday matinee at TD Garden.
Head Coach Claude Julien confirmed the news to reporters pregame.
Game time is set for 1:00 p.m. ET (NESN, 98.5 The Sports Hub).
The Bruins are looking to get back on track, following two straight losses to Detroit and Washington.
Though Krejci's presence will certainly give the team a boost, Julien has stressed that one individual won't make a difference for the Bruins - they need a team-wide effort to have success.
The Avalanche come into Monday having been shut out in their first two games (a home-and-home series against Minnesota), searching for not only their first win, but also their first goal of 2014-15.
BOSTON - Not much has gone right for the Black and Gold in the past two games.
A 2-1 loss in Detroit on Thursday night was followed up with a 4-0 shutout at the hands of the Capitals 48 hours later, back on home ice.
The boo birds began raining down at TD Garden as the clock was ticking late in the third period.
A frustrated Milan Lucic held his cool late in the game after getting tangled with Mike Green, but he was plenty heated in the locker room postgame.
"That's not the team that we are," said Lucic. "We're always a team that has a lot of fight and fights its way back in the situations, no matter what they are."
"So we've got to figure it out here and hopefully after two games like that, we can take this as a wake-up call and move forward."
The Bruins managed 29 shots on Braden Holtby, but not one made it through. They went 0-for-4 on the power play, while the lethal Caps went 2-for-4, thanks to easy fires from the left circle by Alex Ovechkin and Green.
Ovechkin put Washington up 2-0 in the first period. Green adding the insurance in the second, and John Carlson capped off the 4-0 shutout in the final two minutes of the game.
"You know, it's tough to put into words. We were outworked, we were outbattled and just outplayed throughout the course of 120 minutes, not just 60," said Chris Kelly, known to be a vocal presence in the room. He was very adamant with his words.
"I think the only positive I can think of is… it's Game 3. Other than that, it's two poor efforts."
BOSTON - The Bruins hit the ice for a pregame skate at TD Garden on Saturday morning, before hosting the Washington Capitals at 7:00 p.m. ET (NESN, 98.5 The Sports Hub).
David Krejci skated with the group for the first time since leaving the Bruins' preseason finale on October 4 with an undisclosed injury. Krejci is on Injured Reserve and is not eligible to return to game action until after Saturday's matchup with the Caps.
"Day to day. I can't tell you more than that," Head Coach Claude Julien told reporters following the morning skate. "Just skated for the first time today with the team, so we'll see how that goes."
Krejci did take a few line rushes with Milan Lucic, which had to feel comforting for the left winger as he works through a frustrating first two games of the season.
