How GIS helped the Curiosity rover reach Mars will be the topic of a Redlands Forum lecture on Thursday evening, Oct. 25, at the Esri conference center, 380 New York St.
This will be Curiosity's second turn as a forum topic. In September, University of Redlands astronomer Tyler Nordgren talked about Mars exploration and his role in helping to create a sundial that sits on top of the rover.
This time, Art Thompson, assembly, test and launch operations team leader with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Fred Calef, a planetary geologist, will talk about how they found the right landing spot for Curiosity, and the role GIS played in their work.
Esri is a leader in geographic information systems technology.

Hi BPN, I have a severe phobia of vomitting (called emetophobia), which is becoming more and more disruptive to my daily life now that I have a small child in daycare.

Villa v Bradford: Lambert urges players to seize cup opportunity
Paul Lambert has urged his players to seize their big opportunity against Bradford tonight, insisting: "Chances like this don't come around very often."
Villa are 90 minutes away from a Wembley final but first they must overturn a 3-1 deficit in what promises to be a gripping Capital One Cup semi-final second leg.
Lambert wants his young side to leave the Villa Park pitch with no regrets at the end of this evening's encounter.
"The thing is you might never get there again," said the manager.
"In football you just don't know what's round the corner.
"You have to grab this chance because you just don't know when this could happen again.
"The best players make sure that they grab it.
"In football you can't have any regrets because you'll look back over your career and say 'I should have' and 'only if'.
"The ones who actually succeed are the ones who do it."
Lambert believes the defeat at Valley Parade a fortnight ago will give Villa extra motivation.
He admits his players were at their lowest ebb after the 3-1 first leg loss to the League Two side.
"Chelsea was really low obviously because of the beating," added Lambert.
"But I think because of what happened and who we were playing - and that's no disrespect to Bradford - that was really, really low.
"They know they're hurt by it and they know they've got the chance to rectify it and get through. It could be a fantastic night."

It looks like that no matter what settings or even the factory default settings I use, my system is extremely unstable and constantly showing BSODs. The motherboard is from GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 on which I have installed the 1333 MHz 9-9-9-24 2t. If I enable the XMP, the system wont boot. If I overclock to 1.2v QPI and 1.625 vdimm, the system seems stable but it is more than the factory settings which I dont think that safe. So fat I could not able to find the stable settings in any manner. The memory is not faulty because I used it in different computer and it passed memtest86 all together. The system specs are as follows:
- Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS: F10
- Core i5-2500k
- Corsair Vengence 4x4GB CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B
- 2xHDD
- 1xDVD ROM

Mitt Romney was all smiles after speaking with Rick Santorum directly in the wake of Santorum's decision to suspend his campaign.
"I look forward to his work in helping assure victories for Republicans across the country in November," Romney said.
"While this Presidential race for us is over, we are not done fighting," Santorum said.
But analysts say, despite Santorum's surprising success, increasing pressure within the GOP made this announcement inevitable.
Perhaps the final straw, Santorum faced an uphill battle and the possibility of losing his home state of Pennsylvania in two weeks.
"It would have been a humiliating loss in his home state and that's the way all the trend lines were looking," said Charles Mahtesian of Politico.
As for the incumbent, President Obama remained on message, targeting the Republican Party's history of trickle-down economics, while campaigning in Boca Raton, Florida.

Day #214 - Mood swing...disgusted, disappointed, confused oh my
Thursday, January 24, 2013
Yesterday - Elliptical 30 minutes - started at 10/1 decreased every 5 minutes and treadmill - 30 minutes increasing incline intervals
Weigh-in this morning gain .09 a pound!
I am so tired of this up down, up down it ALMOST makes me want to just say forget it. But I can't say that because I'll never get to where I'm aiming to go. So I continue on and keep making adjustments to my plan. YES ... I can't deny it...I'm disappointed as I'm sure all of us will/have been. Especially after you've worked so hard exercising, tried to keep to your eating plans, drank your water and been 90% on target. I expected some change. Well I got change just in the wrong direction. I was going to take my measurements to see if anything had shifted but I was running late.
Yes I've gone down a size in clothes, I can almost fit some things that wouldn't even come to my waist, even the skirt I have on today is lose in the waist. But with the hard work I expect to see the scale move. Why is this always our primary focus? If it doesn't move in the right direction we feel I'm not doing something right!!! I know what I do daily, I know this body of mines is confused as heck right now, but I know also that quitting is not an option. I think I've made a lot of changes in my diet in a short period of time and perhaps my body is not friendly to the variations. So I'm going back to what was working and sticking with it for the rest of this month and next month. I am going to track more diligently and I was about to send my bodybugg back but I think I'll keep it and start using it. I know, I know I've said it before but it's serious now.
I will continue to mix things up with my workout and get more serious about my weight training. I won't use that thought of muscle weighs more to compensate for the gain. With muscle and toning my body should reshape and burn more calories so...I'm going in...
SparkFriends if you're reading this...I need one of those tough trainer talks... an in your face ... yelling... pissed off at me talks... You know the kind Jillian Michaels gives in the gym!!! Of course if it was actually happening ain't no telling what would happen to her
but anyway, go hard when you reply I can take it. Great advice is welcome and I know my Sparkers Debbi and go hard Nikki will be right on me. I'm not out...I'm just a bit down... but I am a come back woman at heart!!! Stay tuned...

Thanks ladies --- I knew I could count on you guys to give it to me straight.
@Nikki - yes, I brought the bugg and haven't started using it. I really had misplaced it during my holiday company and just found it while purging my room this weekend (under a pile of clothes) tee-hee. I'm going to attempt the couch25K once I can get it to work on my ipod, android phone somewhere. I'm going to keep at it don't worry and thanks.
I only weigh once a week. Monthly doesn't work for me as I find I've went the entire month and lose nothing is worse for me. As I could have changed something up and didn't.

Ok, so you bought a BodyBugg and you are not using it??????? I am utterly confused. With anything we do, it only works if you STICK with it. Had you been using the bug daily and tracking everything you put in your mouth and exercising daily like I know you do, then the weight will come off. It may not come off today, but it will come off. If you are PISSED right now, that is fine, be pissed. But how about you put that energy into your plan. How about you get off the eliptical and PUSH YOURSELF to do something out of your comfort zone? You have goten much to comfortable there and while you may break a sweat, I can assure you that if you wore your BodybUgg, you would see that you aren't working as hard as you think you are. Try jogging on the treadmill. And if you can't jog quite yet, do inclines on the treadmill. Committ to finishing your workouts with 15 minutes on the stairstepper. Whatever it takes, you have got to do this because you are not happy with your body and your health and you know it could be better and you know you deserve to have better so quit cheating yourself with this pity party!

Stick with it lady, this is something you CAN do! Perhaps that little gain is the water weight your muscles have been holding on to with allthe working out. Perhaps 'ol Aunt Flo is serving up her bloat for the month - if you FEEL better and your shrinking in the waist then stick with what your doing. I applaud you for not giving up and agree on meausrements. You should definetly measure your self tonight and use that as a way to track your weightloss. Perhaps give the scale some closet time for the remainder of the month, then check it out next week. You got this!

I would stay off the scale. When losing I weighed in once a month, on the 1st. The little fluctuations day to day are just that. They play havoc with your mindset and motivation. Why put yourself through that? I also took my measurements at the same time, it was very motivating to see the inches I was losing.
Keep on pushing and you will get to where you want to go.

2008 Presidential Election Maps
Since I'm a giant nerd, I always seek out election result maps by county - I'm really intrigued by outcome break-downs at that level because it's interesting to see how a few key areas can drive an entire state. Cartograms are even more fun, as they really give you a better sense of population and overall stake than straight, scaled results maps. So, when I was Googling "election 2008 county map" last night, I was delighted to find all the information, maps, and cartograms on this site:
It's worth a quick peruse, and if you're not familiar with cartograms, those are explained on the page also. Enjoy!

A Localist Moment in Emmaus
It seems that "quaint" Emmaus (the word the newspapers all use to describe our borough) has been targeted as a potential home for a swingers' club, to be situated right on downtown Main Street. The fellow behind the club claims that it's not going to be a "sex club," that … READ MORE ›

The Clark County Planning Commission and Clark County commissioners have scheduled hearings to consider whether to permit surface mining on about 40 percent of the former Camp Bonneville. A hearing was held Sept. 19 and another is scheduled for Oct. 1. The proposed areas are shown in a map at http://1.usa.gov/1eQxGKo.
The proposal to permit surface mining on much of the former camp appears to be a major revision of the expressed plans of Clark County officials to convert the area into a county park once cleanup of the site is completed in the next few years.
Residents of the area have additional concerns:
The narrow roads of the area were not designed to permit additional traffic by heavy trucks.
The square of land in the southern portion of Autumn Hills is an environmentally sensitive area with wetlands and the origin of the iconic Little Washougal River.
This square of land lies at the heart of one of the nicest communities of homes in Clark County.
If county commissioners vote to permit surface mining on these lands, many of us feel that they will be shooting themselves in the foot economically and politically — by undermining the tax base of the county and by alienating a well-established, well-organized and politically active community of voters.

DNA Evidence Leads to Arrest of Anthony Joseph Palma in Case of Missing 8 Year Old Kirsten Hatfield Who Vanished from Bedroom in 1997 in Oklahoma
8 year old Kirsten Hatfield disappeared from her home in Midwest City, OK one night in May 1997. A former neighbor of the girl, 56-year-old Anthony Joseph Palma, was arrested Monday and charged with kidnapping and first-degree murder. He is being held without bail. According to reports, Police said when Kirsten Hatfield went missing, the second-grader's bedroom window was cracked and her underwear was found in the backyard. Recently the investigator assigned to the case realized that some evidence in the case was never tested. Thanks to improvements in DNA evidence, Anthony Joseph Palma was tracked down and volunteered a DNA sample. Low and behold, there was a match. Anthony Joseph Palma lived 2 doors down from Kirsten Hatfield and amazingly still does. Could there finally be justice for Kirsten? However, sadly, her body has never been found.
Kirsten Hatfield
Authorities were led to Palma after a new investigator assigned to the case last June realized the FBI or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation had never tested some of the evidence, Clabes said.
Using DNA technology that is more advanced than it was in 1997, lab technicians discovered blood from the window sill and the girl's underwear came from an unknown male, he said. Investigators ran that DNA through a national database and didn't find a match.
Authorities then tracked down about 10 men who'd previously been questioned and asked for DNA samples, Clabes said.

FOX News 8 - DNA evidence, police in an Oklahoma City suburb arrested a man in an 18-year-old child abduction case.
Thanks to DNA evidence, police in an Oklahoma City suburb arrested a man in an 18-year-old child abduction case, authorities said Tuesday.
Kirsten Hatfield, 8, disappeared from her home in Midwest City one night in May 1997.
Police said the second-grader's bedroom window was cracked and her underwear was found in the backyard, according to CNN affiliate KOKH.
The child has never been found, Midwest City Police Chief Brandon Clabes said Tuesday at a news conference.
A former neighbor of the girl, 56-year-old Anthony Joseph Palma, was arrested Monday and charged with kidnapping and first-degree murder. Authorities filed the murder charge because they believe Kirsten is dead, Clabes said.

Arrest Made 18 Years After Disappearance of 8-Year-Old Oklahoma Girl Kirsten Hatfield.
The State Bureau of Investigation's crime lab found a DNA match to Palma in July, putting its odds of certainty at 263 sextillion to 1, according to the affidavit.
"The evidence shows that Kirsten may have been targeted by Palma for sexual assault," Miller wrote in the affidavit. "It is likely that Palma has been motivated to stay in the same home to conceal evidence of the crime and/or the location of Kristen's body."
State corrections records show that Palma — who has lived at the same Midwest City address since 1991 — was convicted of assault and/or battery with a dangerous weapon in the early 1980s and was released from prison in 1986. Details of that conviction weren't immediately available.

Former Student Owen Labrie at St. Paul's School Acquitted of Felony Sexual Assault … Convicted on Three Counts of Misdemeanor Sexual Assault (VIDEO)
One more "Senior Salute" to women for the St. Paul's Prep School …
Owen Labrie, a former student at the prestigious New England prep-school, The St. Paul's School in Concord, NH, has been found not guilty and acquitted of the three felony rape charges and of misdemeanor simple assault. Each of the felony charges could have carried uo to 20 years in prison. However, Labrie was convicted on three counts of misdemeanor sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child and a felony count of using a computer to seduce a minor under 16, which requires him to register as a sex offender. Labrie was originally accused of raping the girl in May 2014 at their boarding academy in what Prosecutors said he did it as part of a ritual called the "Senior Salute," in which graduating seniors try to have sex with underclassmen. WOW, what a special tradition from a prep-school that cost over $55,000 a year to attend. One would think that maybe with this type of education, the St Pal School could teach a little character and crack down on this disgusting tradition.
Both the victim and Lebrie cried during the reading of the verdict.
A former New Hampshire prep school student accused of raping a freshman girl as part of a campus tradition was acquitted Friday of the most serious charges against him.
Owen Labrie, now 19, was cleared of three counts of felony sexual assault, each of which carried up to 20 years in prison. He was convicted of misdemeanor sexual assault and a separate felony charge that carries up to seven years.
Labrie sobbed in court as the verdict — reached by a jury of three women and nine men — was read.

Labrie will face sentencing on Oct. 29, and is out on $15,000 bail in the meantime. He must adhere to a 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. curfew and turn over his passport.
Owen Labrie, of Vermont, had received a full scholarship to Harvard, which was put on hold, and had planned to go to divinity school after graduating from college. Ain't that something. I guess he can kiss Harvard goodbye and have fun the rest of his life as a registered sex offender.

Missing Tennessee Teen, 14 Year Old Hayleigh Wilson Found with 41 Year Old Sex Offender Benjamin Shook Found in Smyth County, VA
The search is finally over for missing Tennessee teen, 14 year old Hayleigh Wilson.
The AMBER ALERT for missing 14 year old Haleigh Wilson has been canceled. 14 year old Hayleigh Wilson and sex offender, 41-year-old Benjamin Shook, have been located by the U.S. Marshal Service in Smyth County, Virginia Tuesday morning. Both have been taken to the sheriffs office in Marion. Hayleigh Wilson has been missing since June 22, 2015 when she took her father's 2004 Ford Explorer and drove off to pick up Benjamin Shook. The 41 year old Shook has a long criminal history, including sexual battery and exploitation. He served 10 years in prison and was released in September 2014. According to the police, Shook was registered once as a sex offender, but did not update his info.
A news conference will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday with further updates.
Police say 14-year-old Hayleigh Wilson and 41-year-old Benjamin Shook were located by the U.S. Marshal Service in Smyth County Tuesday morning.
The teen went missing from her home back in June. Local, state and federal officers helped in the search which spanned over several counties in Southwest Virginia – on the ground and in the air.
Both Wilson and Shook have been taken to the Smyth County Sheriff's Office located in Marion, Virginia.
Maybe this time the authorities can lock this SOB away for good and get this child predator off the streets. Obviously he is not going to stop his child raping ways and does not even bother to update his status as a sex offender. What ever little good that does. Enough is enough, this perv has been given enough chances. We might also want to look into what troubled life that this 14 year old girl has who thought running off with a 41 year old man was a good idea.

California Cares More About the Rights of Sex Offenders Than they Do the Safety & Rights of Children, Loosens Jessica's Law Rules Where Sex offenders Can Live
Coming soon in California to a school or park within 2000 feet, a registered sex offender.
On March 2, 2015 California Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Jessica's Law violated the constitutional rights of sex offender parolees living in San Diego County who had stated that the limitations made it impossible for them to obtain housing. A CDCR report found that the number of homeless sex offenders statewide increased by about 24 times in the three years after Jessica's Law took effect. The hell with going against what the voters wanted in not allowing sex predators near schools and parks, instead lets all have a pity party for child predators and sex offenders. So now California is going to loosen the rules as to where sex offenders can live. Supposedly, high-risk sex offenders and those whose crimes involved children under 14 will still be prohibited from living within a half-mile of a school, however, the CDCR will assess each parolee based on factors relating to their individual cases. So how long will it be before "high risk" predators claim their rights are being violated and win as well?
Pic: Jessica Lunsford, who was abducted from her bed in Florida in 2005,
raped and buried alive while clutching her stuffed dolphin by a sex offender living nearby.
California officials announced Thursday that the state would stop enforcing a key provision of a voter-approved law that prohibits all registered sex offenders from living near schools.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said it would no longer impose the blanket restrictions outlined in Jessica's Law that forbids all sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park, regardless of whether their crimes involved children.
High-risk sex offenders and those whose crimes involved children under 14 will still be prohibited from living within a half-mile of a school, the CDCR emphasized. Otherwise, officials will assess each parolee based on factors relating to their individual cases, the agency said.
The shift comes nine years after California voters approved the controversial law, which has made it difficult for some sex offenders to find places to live.
The California Supreme Court on March 2 unanimously ruled that Jessica's Law violated the constitutional rights of parolees living in San Diego County who had argued that the limitations made it impossible for them to obtain housing. As a result, advocates said, some parolees were living in places like riverbeds and alleys.
"While the court's ruling is specific to San Diego County, its rationale is not," CDCR spokesman Luis Patino said Thursday. "After reviewing the court's analysis, the state attorney general's office advised CDCR that applying the blanket mandatory residency restrictions of Jessica's Law would be found to be unconstitutional in every county."

69 Year Old Yova Kana Shaday Asks Judge to Let Him Out of Jail So He Can Donate His Sex Offender Sperm Before He's Too Old to Multiply
Just when you thought you have heard it all, you realize you have not. 69 year old Yova Kana Shaday gave a personal plea to a federal judge asking permission to leave prison so he can go to a sperm bank. He did promise to return to the lockup following his deposit. Oh, did we mention that a Shaday is a sex offender who failed to register in New York City. According to court records this scumbag POS, with all due respect to excrement, in 2005 pleaded guilty in Superior Court in San Diego to committing a lewd act with a child under the age of 14 and in 2008 he pleaded guilty to molesting a child under the age of 18. Let me be the first to say and go out on a limb, no one wants or needs your child molesting sperm! Talk about endangering the welfare of a child, one that has not even been conceived yet.
This fool might have had a better shot of being let out of jail if he said he was going to rob the sperm bank, not make a deposit.
You too could be the unsuspecting recipient of this child molesting dirt bag's sperm
A convicted pervert penned a personal plea to a federal judge asking permission to leave prison so he can go to a sperm bank.
Yova Kana Shaday, while awaiting trial for failing to register as a sex offender in New York City, begged Federal Judge Edward Korman for a break so that he could become a first time dad.
Shaday, 69, is apparently worried that his biological clock is ticking and every day spent at the Queens Correctional Facility, a federal lockup in Jamaica, is "robbing my last opportunity to be fruitful and multiply," according to the letter filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.
He even suggested to Korman that if he's allowed to visit a sperm bank, he promises to return to the lockup to accept whatever sentence is imposed.

32 Year Old Chicago Man (Judex Colon) Sexually Assaults 4 Year Old Girl on Bus After Just Having Registered as a Sex Offender
A 32 year old Chicago convicted sex offender, Judex Colon, has been arrested for the sexual assault of a 4 year old girl on a CTA bus. The story sounds sick enough with that alone; however, it gets worse if possible. The habitual sex offender boarded a city bus after just registering as a sex offender at the Chicago Police Headquarters, sat down next to an innocent 4 year old girl and sexually assaulted her. ARE YOU SERIOUS!?! This deviant was on his way home from registering as a sex offender and he commits a sex crime! Colon was charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a victim under the age of 13 and held without bond. Thirteen, the girl was 4!!! The Class X charges carries a sentence of 6 to 30 years in prison on conviction.
Here is a shock, this POS has a criminal history of sexual assault. Colon was previously convicted in 2008 of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a victim under the age of 13 in Lake County, Indiana. Colon sexually abused two girls while working as a carnival-ride operator. He was also convicted of failure to register as a sex offender in Cook County in 2013 and sentenced to two years in prison.
A Chicago man who had just registered as a sex offender is charged with sexual assault for allegedly groping a four-year-old girl on his bus ride home, reports CBS Chicago.
Judex Colon, 32, boarded a city bus Tuesday afternoon and sat down next to the girl, according to a statement from the Cook County state's attorney's office. At the time, he was returning from registering as a sex offender at the Chicago Police Headquarters, according to the station.
While riding the bus, Colon "placed his hands on the victim over her clothes and then lifted the child's jacket and continued to inappropriately touch and rub the victim," according to the state's attorney's office. Colon then allegedly got off the bus and ran away.
The girl, who was riding the bus with relatives, was so frightened by the incident that she urinated on herself, prosecutors said. She told her mother about the assault after arriving home.
Sex offender charged with assaulting 4-year-old girl on CTA bus:
At what point do we take these crimes against children seriously and throw these SOB's in prison for life? How about when he is sent back to general population in prison, this POS is given a shirt that says,"I sexually assault children".
A police booking photo showed Colon, who was arrested Wednesday, wearing an orange T-shirt that read, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you."
He appeared to be wearing the same shirt under a black hoodie in court Friday.

NCAA Announces They Will Restore Previously Vacated 112 Penn State Football Wins Making Joe Paterno Again the Winningest Coach in Major College Football History
Joe Paterno, the late head coach of the Penn St. Nittany Lions, is back to being the winningest coach in major college football history. The NCAA announced on Friday that they would restore 112 wins by the school's football team that were wiped out in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation sex scandal. The deal still must be approved by the NCAA board and the Penn State board, but that is probably pretty much of a done deal. This would return Joe Paterno's record to 409-136-3. Wow, this is big. The NCAA just blinked. They are basically admitting they overstepped their authority in the sanctions following the Sandusky scandal. By restoring the wins, Joe Paterno will move back to the top of college football's all-time Division I, major college wins:
- Joe Paterno (409)
- Bobby Bowden (377)
- Paul "Bear" Bryant (323)
- Glenn Scobey Warner (319)
I wonder how long it will be before PSU brings back Joe Pa's the statue?
The NCAA on Friday announced a proposed agreement that would restore 112 wins by the school's football team that were wiped out during the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal and would put the late Joe Paterno back as the winningest coach in major college football history.
College sports' governing body announced the proposed deal weeks before a scheduled trial in state court on the legality of the 2012 consent decree it would replace.
The new deal would direct a $60 million fine to address child abuse be spent within Pennsylvania and would resolve the lawsuit.
The deal still must be approved by the NCAA board and the Penn State board. Penn State trustees' chairman Keith Masser told The Associated Press that board members were having a private discussion early Friday afternoon about the lawsuit.
The announcement follows the NCAA's decision last year to reinstate the school's full complement of football scholarships and let Penn State participate in post-season play, and comes just days after a federal judge declined to rule on the consent decree's constitutionality. The proposed settlement does not discuss the validity of the original consent decree.
Watch live: Corman announcement on lawsuit over Penn State sanctions.
Today is a great victory for everyone who has fought for the truth in the Sandusky tragedy. The repeal of the consent decree and the return of the wins to the University and Joe Paterno confirm that the NCAA and the Board of Trustees acted prematurely and irresponsibly in the unprecedented sanctions the NCAA imposed on the University, the players, coaches and the community.
This case should always have been about the pursuit of the truth, not the unjust vilification of the culture of a great institution and the scapegoating of coaches, players and administrators who were never given a chance to defend themselves.
For nearly three years, everyone associated with Penn State has had to bear the mark of shame placed upon the institution by the NCAA. It was a grievously wrong action, precipitated by panic, rather than a thoughtful and careful examination of the facts.
Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman is holding a 1 p.m. news conference to make a major announcement in the ongoing litigation involving the NCAA and Penn State University concerning the validity of the 2012 Consent Decree that resulted in sanctions against Penn State.
Corman's lawsuit has turned into a case testing the validity of the penalties contained in the consent decree that resulted in a $60 million fine, a bowl ban, scholarship reduction and the vacation of 112 victories earned by the football team between 1998 and 2011.
The pivot points for any new settlement of this case, which is currently scheduled for trial in Commonwealth Court next month, would be full restoration of the wins, final disposition of the fine proceeds, and some closure on the divisive issue of whether the NCAA properly intervened in the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
UPDATE I: Statement from The Paterno family:
Today is a great victory for everyone who has fought for the truth in the Sandusky tragedy. The repeal of the consent decree and the return of the wins to the University and Joe Paterno confirm that the NCAA and the Board of Trustees acted prematurely and irresponsibly in the unprecedented sanctions the NCAA imposed on the University, the players, coaches and the community.
This case should always have been about the pursuit of the truth, not the unjust vilification of the culture of a great institution and the scapegoating of coaches, players and administrators who were never given a chance to defend themselves.
For nearly three years, everyone associated with Penn State has had to bear the mark of shame placed upon the institution by the NCAA. It was a grievously wrong action, precipitated by panic, rather than a thoughtful and careful examination of the facts.
Fortunately, through the tenacious efforts of Senator Jake Corman and Treasurer Rob McCord, a large measure of the wrong has been righted. This is a major victory in our continued pursuit of justice for Penn State. The victims deserve the truth as do those who have been smeared by the deeply flawed Freeh report, which served as the basis of the actions by the Board Trustees and Penn State.
Through our pending litigation, we intend to continue the job of uncovering the full truth in this case.
UPDATE II: Here's the release from the NCAA:
NCAA reaches proposed settlement in Corman lawsuit
Agreement allows fine money to be distributed
January 16, 2015 12:58pm
Programs serving child sexual abuse survivors will now receive millions of dollars as part of the NCAA's proposed settlement with Pennsylvania state officials. This lawsuit stemmed from the NCAA's sanctions against Penn State University for its role in allowing serial child sexual abuse to occur on its campus.
The proposed settlement agreement with the NCAA, university and state officials, among other things, restores Penn State's vacated wins from 1998 through 2011.
Subject to board approval from Penn State and the NCAA, the new agreement between the NCAA and Penn State, replacing the 2012 consent decree between the parties, provides the following:
Penn State agrees to commit a total of $60 million to activities and programs for the prevention of child sexual abuse and the treatment of victims of child sexual abuse.
Penn State acknowledges the NCAA's legitimate and good faith interest and concern regarding the Jerry Sandusky matter.
Penn State and the NCAA will enter into a new Athletics Integrity Agreement that (with concurrence of the Big Ten) includes best practices with which the university is committed to comply and that provides for the university to continue to retain the services of Sen. George Mitchell and his firm to support the university's activities under the Athletics Integrity Agreement and in the areas of compliance, ethics and integrity.
In July 2012, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and Executive Committee issued unprecedented sanctions for Penn State's role in enabling child sexual abuse to occur on campus. In addition to the $60 million fine and vacation of wins, these penalties included a four-year postseason ban, scholarship reductions, five-year probation and a waiver of transfer rules. The NCAA Executive Committee restored postseason access and the full complement of scholarships in 2014, based on the recommendation from Athletics Integrity Monitor Sen. George Mitchell in response to the university's progress.
"I am pleased to learn that financial resources to help child sexual abuse survivors will soon become available," said Sen. George J. Mitchell. "I remain impressed with Penn State's progress to date and look forward to its many reforms and improvements continuing to take root."
"Continuing this litigation would further delay the distribution of funds to child sexual abuse survivors for years, undermining the very intent of the fine," said Harris Pastides, University of South Carolina president and member of the NCAA Board of Governors. "While others will focus on the return of wins, our top priority is on protecting, educating and nurturing young people."
The lawsuit originally asked the judge to restrict the distribution of the $60 million fine to child sexual abuse prevention organizations in Pennsylvania rather than national organizations. The NCAA repeatedly attempted to resolve the dispute regarding the fine, even agreeing to move the funds into a state endowment rather than distribute them nationally as originally intended. The judge denied this motion and expanded the lawsuit to include the NCAA's authority to act in this matter, which the plaintiffs did not previously question. Penn State initiated the latest settlement discussions in mid-December.
"Today's agreement with Penn State reaffirms our authority to act," said Kirk Schulz, Kansas State University president and chair of the NCAA Board of Governors. "The NCAA has a legitimate role when a member's actions threaten the integrity of college sports. We acted in good faith in addressing the failures and subsequent improvements on Penn State's campus. We must acknowledge the continued progress of the university while also maintaining our commitment to supporting the survivors of child sexual abuse."
The NCAA will aggressively defend the Paterno estate's challenge to the validity of the now-replaced consent decree.

NYC Mayor De Blasio Appears to Care More About Deaths of Rikers Island Felony Sexually Abusers than NYPD Officers
Sorry, if I don't shed a tear or could care less … I care more about the deaths of police officers than inmates. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
35 year old Fabian Cruz, who was on suicide watch, committed suicide sometime after 4 pm New Years Eve at Rikers Island on New years Eve. Cruz was put on round the clock suicide observation because he was distraught over an imminent prison sentence. Really, maybe he should have considered the consequences prior to committing the crime. As they say, "don't do the crime, of you can't do the time." The tax payers of New York won't have to worry about this punk doing his time. Even after being put on suicide watch, Cruz was found dead in his cell, lying face up, a bed sheet wrapped around his neck. A jail psychiatrist recommended he be placed on suicide watch this week; however, correction officers reportedly failed to follow department policy. Law abiding citizens looks at this and say, next story. However, bleeding heart liberal NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio seems to care moer about felons than he does the men and women in blue who put these scum bags in jail. De Blasio has proposed a series of changes for Rikers Island, including added surveillance cameras, more therapeutic programs for inmates and additional training for correction officers. You have got to be kidding me?
The warning was sent at 4:45 p.m. on New Year's Eve: A Rikers Island inmate, distraught over an imminent prison sentence, was threatening to harm himself and was possibly suicidal.
According to jail policy, correction officers should immediately have put the inmate, Fabian Cruz, on round-the-clock suicide observation. That did not happen. Rather, a full 24 hours after a mental health clinician sounded the alarm, Mr. Cruz was found dead in his cell, lying face up, a bedsheet wrapped around his neck, according to jail employees and internal documents.
The death underscores the dysfunction that continues to pervade the Rikers Island jail complex even as New York City officials scramble to fix it amid intense scrutiny by the federal Justice Department, which is now suing the city, charging widespread abuse and neglect of inmates.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has proposed a series of changes, including added surveillance cameras, more therapeutic programs for inmates and additional training for correction officers, to improve conditions at Rikers. Last year, he allocated $32 million for more guards and improved mental health services.
But Mr. Cruz's death, which was confirmed on Friday by the Correction Department, appears to have resulted from a failure to follow basic policy. The department would not comment on the circumstances surrounding the death.
But wait, why was this scumbag at Rikers' Island in the first place, that so many people like Mayor de Blasio would be are concerned about his suicide? Cruz was a repeated felony sexual abuser of a teen girl beginning when she was 14 years of age.
About two weeks earlier, Mr. Cruz pleaded guilty to one felony count of attempted first-degree criminal sexual act. According to prosecutors, he repeatedly sexually abused his girlfriend's daughter over a period of three years, starting when the girl was 14. Under a plea arrangement, he was to be sentenced on Jan. 12 to five years in prison, according to the Staten Island district attorney's office. In April, he had also been sentenced to two and a half to five years in prison on separate burglary and other charges, but he was kept at Rikers until his death.
Check out the rap sheet on Cruz that Mayor de Blasio seems to be so concerned out. More than 300 misdemeanor sex charges in an unrelated case on Staten Island involving a minor and a felony sex charge against Cruz. Sorry, he needed killing. No wonder corrections officers might have turned the other way. Hell if it were me I would have given him and extra belt and shoe laces. This scum bag needed killing.
But authorities aren't finished with Fabian Cruz just yet.
Still pending are more than 300 misdemeanor sex charges in an unrelated case on Staten Island involving a minor and a felony sex charge in Brooklyn state Supreme Court, online state court records show.
Cruz, 35, is accused of groping his girlfriend's teenage daughter in those cases, according to court papers and sources.
Cruz was indicted in March of last year on a raft of charges stemming from several incidents.
He and his girlfriend, Kizzy Barnett, 37, were accused of attacking Ms. Barnett's 14-year-old son inside their Van Duzer Street apartment on Feb. 9, 2013.
Ms. Barnett menaced the teen with a knife and tried to attack him with it, the indictment alleges, while Cruz violated an order of protection during the incident.
Neighbors witnessed the fight and told police what happened, spurring Cruz to tell them to keep mum, law enforcement sources said. Police arrested him for obstructing governmental administration that day, a charge to which he subsequently pleaded guilty, sources said.

25 year old Jaimee Mendez has been missing since Thursday, November 6, 2014 in Swampscott, Massachusetts. Jaimee Mendez is a Type 1 diabetic who is in need of her medication and cannot go for this many days as she has been missing without it. Also, according to her family, she is the mother of a severely autistic 5 year old boy. Her family stated that she would never leave him for this long. Making matters worse, the family says police found items, including shoes, believed to belong to Mendez in a dumpster behind a Lynn, Mass CVS.
Law enforcement officers from Swampscott, Lynn, Salem, state police and The North Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council are involved in the search for Jaimee Mendez. A search in Salem around 11:49 Sunday morning was conducted in a wooded area behind Technology Way (Map).
Missing – Jaimee Mendez
Jaimee Mendez, 25, of Swampscott, has been missing since Thursday afternoon, according to family members.
Swampscott police confirmed they were searching for a missing 25-year-old Swampscott woman Sunday.
Officials said Mendez's family reported her missing Saturday afternoon.
The Essex County District Attorney's Office confirmed Sunday they were assisting in the search for Mendez.
Family members said police were searching a dumpster at CVS on Eastern Avenue in Lynn Sunday, where they found some of Mendez's belongings.
Mendez's family said they know who she was last seen with.
25-Year-Old Mother Missing in Massachusetts.
Twenty-five-year-old Jaimee Mendez of Swampscott was last heard from on Thursday. Family members say she called two friends, telling them she was with a male and felt uncomfortable.
"She was worried, she was freaked out, she was with this guy, he was acting weird, she wanted to get out of there," said sister Alyssa Mendez. "The guy that she called went to pick her up and she never showed. And that's it. That's the last time anyone heard from her. Her phone's been off, until they found her phone – they found her phone and her jacket, and her ID … in Salem."
UPDATE I: According to the missing woman's sister and a law enforcement source, Jaimee Mendez last seen with a Level 3 sex offender.
A missing 25-year-old Swampscott woman was last seen with a Level 3 sex offender, according to the missing woman's sister and a law enforcement source.
The search continued today for Jaimee Mendez with police reporting no new breaks in the case.
Her sister, Alyssa Mendez, 27, told the Herald Jaimee was wary of being with the man they later learned is a Level 3 sex offender.
UPDATE II: Sex offender admits being with missing Swampscott mother.
The sex offender who admitted being with missing Jaimee Mendez says, he doesn't blame the family for looking for answers? Because a sex offender wouldn't be the first place to look.
The level 3 sex offender who was reportedly the last person to see a missing Swampscott mother, said he has nothing to do with her disappearance.
The man said he last saw 25-year-old Jaimee Mendez walking away from his car during a drug deal.
The man told the Lynn Daily Item newspaper he didn't blame the family for looking for answers.
UPDATE III: Sex Offender Jason Fleury denies involvement in case of missing Swampscott woman.
Jason Fleury insisted he did not kill Jaimee Mendez. Fleury stated he had no motive to hurt her. He said the last saw the woman walking away from his car after a drug deal. He said he believes the drug supplier is the person who knows what happened to Mendez.
The Level 3 sex offender with whom a missing Swampscott woman was reportedly last seen said he had nothing to do with her disappearance and last saw the woman walking away from his car after a drug deal.
"I didn't hurt the girl. She and I are friends; unfortunately a little mom is missing, and I'm a Level 3 sex offender," the man, Jason Fleury, told The Item in an exclusive interview Thursday. "I don't blame [the family] for being angry, they've got to take blame on somebody and a Level 3 sex offender is a hell of a target."
Fleury, who has not been charged in connection with the incident and has not been identified as a suspect by police, agreed to an interview after being approached outside of Lynn Police Headquarters on Thursday where police confirmed he had met with an officer but would not specify the reason for the meeting. Fleury said he had been interviewed by various police agencies three times and gave the same story on each occasion.
Fleury acknowledged he was with Mendez the night of her alleged disappearance. He said that Mendez was the go-between for him and a heroin dealer and, on the night of her disappearance, he picked up Mendez at 5:30 or 6 p.m. to buy drugs.
Fleury said they took the same trip they had taken twice before: Fleury said he would pick Mendez up at her Swampscott residence and drive her to the area of a Rite Aid on Lewis Street in Lynn. She would call somebody to arrange the drug deal when they arrived at the store, although Fleury said Mendez used his cell phone to make calls on Nov. 6 because hers was running out of battery power. He would then allegedly give her the money and she would bring him drugs. Fleury said he last saw Mendez walking away from his car at approximately 6:30 or 7 p.m. on Nov. 6.
UPDATE IV: Criminal history of sex offender Jason Fleury:
As for a criminal record that includes 22 cases in Lynn since 2002, according to court records, Fleury said he is a heroin addict and "petty criminal," but not violent. He said he was convicted in Virginia in 1997 when he was 18 for having sex with a 13-year-old girl, and that he was designated a Level 3 sex offender after a conviction in 2007 for failing to register in Massachusetts. (The 1997 conviction is recorded on the sex offender registry website but does not cite the age of the victim). Fleury served six months in a house of correction for the 2007 conviction, according to a spokesperson for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett.
UPDATE V: Divers search pond for missing Swampscott mother, Jaimee Mendez.
As Massachusetts State Police divers searched a pond along Route 107 in Lynn Tuesday, the family of a missing Swampscott woman said they believe she is dead.
Divers were looking for evidence connected to her disappearance at Floating Bridge Pond near the Salem line.
UPDATE VI: Remains of Jaimee Mendez Found and Positively Identified.

Located right next to Putney Bridge underground station, Aggie's massage room is in a rented room with a high ceiling and a sky light. Aggie was great at listening to what I needed and proceeded to give me a great massage. She really helped with the pain in my neck and overall the experience was very relaxing. I would recommend her and will be going back!
Really happy with my haircut - received a lovely hair wash and great tips on how to style my hair at home. Would recommend the studio and will be going back.
Very quick efficient service. Have been to the salon before and will be going back. Please note that the hot wax on bikini is with a strip, which can be less comfortable than the more usual hot wax.
The venue is a room above a hair salon, very easy to find if a little cramped, however you can usually get a last minute appointment which I like.
I have been back to the salon 3 times and am usually very happy with the service, however this time the appointment felt rushed. Although the wax was efficient and thorough, the therapist was running late and she had her second client wait in the room whilst she finished up my wax. As the treatment room is a single room above a hair salon, the wax area is closed off only by a curtain, so it was a bit strange having my wax finished whilst someone was clearly waiting.
All in all, I would probably go back again as the prices are very competitive, but I was a bit disappointed by the experience this time.
Really centrally located close to Putney Rail Station, the salon is light and airy with high ceilings. I was able to book an appointment early Saturday and was offered a drink whilst I waited (which wasn't long - the coffee was lovely). I was seen by Donata who listened to what I wanted and gave me advice about how the change would suit my hair. I had a great hair wash with a short scalp massage, and then Donata cut and blow dried my hair exactly as I wanted it. I would recommend to a friend and would go back myself. Thanks!
Atelier is located within easy walking distance of Putney Rail Station, tucked in to one of the side streets. The salon cozy and welcoming and I was offered a drink before treatment. I had booked the strip wax on legs and bikini and was seen promptly. The treatment itself was quick and efficient, but what I really liked was that the waxing was thorough and I wasn't charged for any extra areas like they do in other salons. The only downside would be that strip wax can be a little painful on the bikini line so I would book hot wax instead on future treatments. The beautician was careful to finish the treatment with tweezers to pick up stray hairs, which again, I find a few other places haven't done.
I will be coming back here for future treatments as they do facials, massages, hair, and IPL and all very competitively priced. Thanks!
The venue is quite easy to find, close to Clapham Junction (just a short walk away). The venue is very small but clean, and the beautician/receptionist was polite. She showed me down to the waxing room in the basement and it was small and well lit. I had ordered a Brazilian wax and underarm wax, and she started with the underarm.
Underarm wax: 3/5
The process was fairly painless however this was the first time I have had my underarms done with strip wax as opposed to hot wax. As a result, not all the hair was removed and she had to go back with tweezers. Even then, when I inspected the wax at home I could still see hairs. So far the treatment was a bit of a let down.
Brazilian Wax: 4/5
For the bikini wax the beautician used hot wax which I was pleased with and she was very efficient. This treatment was a lot less painful than the last few bikini waxes I have had and she was done within 30 minutes! Another positive was that she didn't just stick to the defined bikini line but also took off any other hair in the area, which I was very happy with as few places do this and insist on charging extra for the smaller areas. However, on the downside she finished off the more sensitive areas with strip wax which again, I have never had done and which left some hairs in the area, even though she went over with the tweezers to finish up.
I would recommend the venue and would go again myself using wahanda vouchers.
The venue was well located just off Putney High Street, so very easy to find and get to. I was one of the first appointments of the morning and when I got there another girl was also waiting. I was told to wait and at 10 my hair dresser came to collect me. He asked what I wanted from my hair cut to which I firmly explained I wanted a trim only, as I was trying to grow my short hair out. He also asked how I wanted it blow dried and I deferred to his opinion.
I was then taken to the the back of the salon, next to the girl who was seen before me. My hair dresser washed my hair rather quickly and I felt slightly rushed, as although I was seated after the other girl my hair wash was finished way before her (it looked like her therapist was giving her a nice little head massage which I didn't get). Minor niggle but this contributed to the overall feeling I had from the salon which was to rush me through my appointment.
Next came the haircut which was good, the hairdresser took his time and trimmed the ends and dried the hair well - however the reason I am only giving this venue 3 stars, and the reason I am leaving my appointment dissatisfied is because after I explained that I only wanted a trim, the hairdresser proceeded to take even more hair off my ends after he had blow dried my hair. If he had just left it after drying, I would have been satisfied. As it was, I left the salon with a shorter cut than I wanted.
Overall the venue is well located for people in the area, I would just recommend that you are VERY firm with your therapist when explaining what you want.

- Sleeps: 5
- Shared pool
- Air conditioning
- Nearest beach: 15km
- Nearest restaurant: 15km
- Nearest supermarket: 15km
- Dalaman airport: 90km
2/3 bed top floor apartment , this is the centre piece of the complex with stunning veiws of the pool and the marmaris mountains.
Our duplex apartment is on two levels,the main picture you see, the apartment it the top right.
The lower level has an open plan living room and kitchen this is more than spacious for a family of 4 . Moving outside onto a patio balcony that comfortably houses a large round table and four chairs , from this balcony you have the full view of the large pool and all the coming and goings on the complex, perfect to watch the kids swim whilst you have a relaxing rest. The Kitchen has both a washing machine , full size fridge freezer and a gas hob there is also plenty of storage space . The downstairs toilet comes complete with wash basin .
Moving upstairs , there are 2 double rooms the main bedroom has a balcony that is glass fronted, great when you lie in bed looking out at the mountains both at night and in the early morning , the views are superb!!! The second bedroom has a double bed , both rooms have remote air-con fitted , There is also a large area at the top of the stairs that we use when friends stop there is a double blow up bed we use that more than fits in this area ,no air-con, however we have some stand up fans that work a treat. The bathroom is a corner bath with sliding doors there is a shower that works very well along with a toilet and washbasin.
The complex and local area
Armutulan is possible the best area in Marmaris , the ex president lives across the road, The complex houses 60 apartments half are Turkish the rest are holiday home owners. You will find it very quite and sometimes you may be the only ones around the pool .People are very friendly , there is no bang bang music this is a place to relax and respect.
The bus stop is right outside with the dolmus arriving in summer every 5 min ,Marmaris centre is no more than 10 min away. Local bars are a short work , some of these are lively and again very friendly however music is off at 12 pm Marmaris town is open till late so don't worry if you want a late night dance. The complex is surrounded by a few hotels so you are not on your own.
The complex is at the foot of a nature trail hence the name "Nature Homes" the backdrop therefore is pine forests .
There are many shops and place to eat and drink within a 5 min walk
Our reasons
For those that have never been to Marmaris hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised . We first came here 7 years ago after trying a host of family holidays all over Europe including a few other locations in Turkey.
We found that not only did Marmaries cater for all age groups and family needs , there is the old town with its massive market winding streets and the biggest marine in turkey hosted by an array of eateries to the other side of the beach with its lively bars and late night music.
We find the people very friendly and the cost of living very fair depending of the Turkish Lira you should estimate a pint of beer to be no more £1.80 a steak meal on the harbour front £8 and fish meals less than £7 We find that the norm for a family of 4 at night including drinks is about £10 per head . If you fancy a proper English breakfast these will set you back about £2 !!!!!
Weather will vary , April is nice not many people about as the tourist season closes end of October and restarts early May . May starts to get hot with the pool starting to get filled by the end of May ready for the 40 degree plus that is on it's way.
We bought our apartment within 20 min of viewing it . We had no plans to rent it out however after 3 years and all the family saying we should due to their experience we have decided to give it a try as it is locked up for 80% of the year.

Does Mike Ehrmantraut have a problem? He better call Saul.
That's exactly what he's doing, it seems, as actor Jonathan Banks has been hired to reprise his iconic, Emmy-nominated "Breaking Bad" role as hit-man Mike for "Better Call Saul," the upcoming spinoff centered on Bob Odenkirk's shady strip-mall lawyer, Saul Goodman. Deadline reports that Banks isn't just on board as a guest for the pilot, either. He's a full-fledged series regular.
But … that doesn't make sense?
In order to proceed, we need to put our SPOILER shades on. We'll wait a second while you do the same.
All set? Good. Let's continue.
There's the not-so-tiny issue of Mike's death to consider. Gus Fring's number one private investigator and fixer was killed in the penultimate season of "Breaking Bad," shot to death by the increasingly volatile Walter White. How can he continue to exist in the universe of "Breaking Bad," then? It's simple: the series is a prequel, designed to show what life was like for Saul Goodman before he entered the Heisenberg business.
The prequel format allows characters like Mike to return to the world of "Breaking Bad," and even leaves the door open for other deceased characters — like, say, Gus or Walter — to make appearances of their own. For now, however, we know at least Mike will be back among the living when "Better Call Saul" premieres in the fall.
With Mike back in the mix, it's worth wondering who else from "Breaking Bad" will get the call for "Better Call Saul." If Saul's trusted sidekicks Huell Babineaux and Patrick Kuby aren't back for more, we won't be pleased.
Are you excited for the return of Mike to the "Breaking Bad" universe? Let us know in the comments section below!

Israel apologizes to Turkey over flotilla deaths
JERUSALEM Israel agreed to restore full diplomatic relations with Turkey in a surprising turnaround Friday after apologizing for a botched naval raid that resulted in the deaths of nine Turkish activists aboard an international flotilla bound for Gaza in 2010.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the breakthrough after a phone conversation with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The 20-minute phone call was brokered by visiting President Barack Obama shortly before he left Israel.
The announcement was an unexpected reversal by Netanyahu, who has repeatedly rejected calls to apologize. But the two countries' joint interests, including fears that the Syrian civil war could spill over their respective borders, made the time ripe to mend relations.
"The two men agreed to restore normalization between Israel and Turkey, including the dispatch of ambassadors and the cancellation of legal steps against Israeli soldiers," a statement from Netanyahu's office said.
Netanyahu "expressed regret over the deterioration in bilateral relations and noted his commitment to working out the disagreements in order to advance peace and regional stability," it said.
The statement stressed that the bloodshed was not intentional. "In light of the Israeli investigation into the incident, which pointed out several operational errors, Prime Minister Netanyahu apologized to the Turkish people for any errors that could have led to loss of life and agreed to complete the agreement on compensation," the statement said.
Israel intercepted a ship named Mavi Marmara while stopping an international flotilla trying to breach an Israeli blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Israel considers Hamas, which has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks on buses and cafes, a terrorist group. Israel says it imposed the blockade to prevent Gaza militants from getting weapons. Gaza militants have fired thousands of rockets and mortar rounds at Israeli border communities and towns during the past decade.
Israel has previously blamed the activists on the bloodshed of the morning of May 31, 2010, saying its naval commandos were attacked when they boarded the ship. Israel released videos showing armed activists brandishing iron rods and clubs attacking the soldiers as they slowly rappelled onto the deck from a helicopter. Soldiers were overpowered as they landed. They were surrounded by men with sticks. One soldier was tossed onto a lower deck.
The military later said the soldiers were not expecting trouble and had paintball guns as their primary weapons while handguns were only for an emergency. Two activists grabbed the handguns away from soldiers and shot two of them, the military said at the time. Both activists were then shot and killed.
The fighting left nine activists dead, most of them Turks, and dozens were wounded. On the Israeli side, a total of seven soldiers were wounded.
Israel insisted that its soldiers acted in self-defense and later showcased knives, slingshots and clubs they said were found onboard the ship. Some activists had military-style gear, including bullet-proof vests and night-vision goggles. Israel said this indicated that the activists had planned for violence.
The activists also said they acted in self-defense and insist they were attacked first.
Israeli officials said Obama helped play a role in the reconciliation, but that efforts had been going on behind the scenes for some time.
Israel and Turkey were once close allies. But in recent years, ties have deteriorated with the rise of Erdogan's Islamist party. Following the flotilla incident, Turkey withdrew its ambassador to Israel and greatly scaled back military and economic ties. But relations were never broken completely.
A statement from Erdogan's office said Netanyahu had apologized on behalf of Israel for all kinds of mistakes that resulted in the loss of life or injuries in light of an investigation led by the Israeli side that pointed at a series of operational mistakes. "Our prime minister accepted the apology in the name of the Turkish people," it said.

That outlook was presented by Robert Murray, vice president of economic affairs
for the Construction Information Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies
(NYSE: MHP). Mr. Murray delivered his annual forecast to industry leaders at
F.W. Dodge's Outlook 2002 Executive Conference held at the Capital Hilton in
Washington, D.C.
"Against the backdrop of a slowing economy, construction has stayed reasonably
healthy for most of 2001, helped by an offsetting pattern by project type. It's
true that commercial building has lost considerable momentum this year, dampened
by weaker business conditions and tighter bank lending standards. However, further
expansion was reported for public works, electric power plants, and schools.
In addition, single-family housing for much of 2001 has stayed strongeven
factoring in a fourth quarter decline, single family housing should be able
to match 2000 levels," said Mr. Murray.
For all of 2001, Dodge construction starts are projected to climb 2 percent
from 2000 levels (reaching $481 billion). Although it is only modest growth,
2001 will have marked the 10th consecutive year of expansion for construction
activity, when viewed on a current dollar basis.
Prior to September 11th, the economy was already teetering close to recession.
Economic growth during the first quarter of 2001 was reported at 1.3 percent,
followed by 0.3 percent in the second quarter.
According to Mr. Murray, "the impact of the events of September 11th will
be to deepen and lengthen the economic slowdown already underway. Substantial
layoff announcements in travel-related industries join high technology as depressed
sectors of the economy. The weak job market, along with diminished confidence
levels, means that consumer spending will not provide the same support as in
previous years. However, the stage has been set for the economy to improve as
2002 proceeds, given lower interest rates and the fiscal push coming from the
federal government. This will also have a positive impact on the construction
Mr. Murray had the following to say about the year ahead for specific areas
of the construction industry:
Robert Murray is vice president, economic affairs for The McGraw-Hill Companies
Construction Information Group and has been with the company since 1981. Mr.
Murray is the author of the F.W. Dodge Construction Outlook and also coordinates

which analyzes national and regional trends for building products.
