In the action film "Need for Speed" (which is based on the video game of the same title), Aaron Paul plays Tobey Marshall, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate. Fresh from prison, Tobey joins a cross-country race with revenge in mind.
His ex-partner, who learns about the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins. This is what Paul had to say about "Need for Speed" at the movie's Los Angeles press junket.
What attracted you to the most to "Need for Speed"?
It was just such a fun ride. When I read the script, I was blown away by the story, the characters. I was instantly invested in it. The idea of jumping behind the wheel of all of these cars and driving around the country very fast was very exciting to me.
When I got on the phone with Scott [Waugh, director of "Need for Speed"] and heard his vision, he wanted to do a throwback to the classic films that started the genre: "Bullitt" and "Vanishing Point" and "Smokey and the Bandit" and "The Blues Brothers." All of those films, they did those stunts. Nothing was CGI. There was no CG, no green screen.
The fact that he wanted to do all of that for real with this script, because in this script, there's just some crazy stuff happening, I applaud hm. It was incredible that we actually pulled it off.
How did you feel about the stunts in "Need for Speed," knowing that director Scott Waugh came from a stunt background?
I thought it was a perfect match. Scott Waugh was born into a stunt family. And all of his friends were second- or third-generation stuntmen. And everyone involved in this project in the stunt world were second-, third-, fourth-generation.
So it's perfect people to have the reigns of this particular project, because they were doing all of the stunts. They made me feel very comfortable. They made us all feel very comfortable.
What kind of rapport or camaraderie did you have with your "Need for Speed" co-stars who play Tobey's pit crew?
Yeah, it was instant. We hit it off instantly. I love those boys so much.
There's a motto in "Need for Speed" that is "Never leave a man behind." How does that motto inform the films' story and your Tobey Marshall character?
It's all about brotherhood, friendship. You don't leave them behind. If you're about to win the race, it doesn't matter, you've got to make sure the person is OK. You've just got to be there for your boys.
What kind of training did you have for "Need for Speed"?
Really, the first day at work was at a track called Willow Springs, which is an hour north of Los Angeles. I was out there as often as I could be, learning how to maneuver these cars. Really, from sunrise to sunset, I was out there and getting a lot of seat time and having a blast. [Scott Waugh] wanted it to be apparent that I was the one driving these cars. He didn't want to lie to the audience.
"Need for Speed" shows a cross-country road trip. How has it been going back to some of the places that you filmed "Need for Speed"?
It's great. We shot all over this country. And everywhere we shot, everyone was so supportive. And so, it's nice to go back and thank them in person and show them what we did and have them either see their small town or big city on the screen. It's great. Everyone was so incredibly supportive.
What do you hope audiences will take away from seeing "Need for Speed"?
I think everyone is going to be surprised. I think people are going to walk into this film thinking something and they're going to walk out being very pleasantly surprised. It's just a fun, crazy ride with a great emotional story behind it.

TC TO FREDERIC CHAPMAN ; 14 March 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590314-TC-FC-01; CL 35: 52
Chelsea 14 March, 1859—
Dear Sir,— N°, this kind of paper, is to me much the pleasantest; but my experiments are not yet completed; and indeed I fled from some kinds (with a sort of terror) to my safe dim old straw-paper again!1 I will not fix on any at prest, lest I get bit when trying it on the great scan.
This sort I imagined wd do very well for Envelopes: but it seems unexpectedly transparent, whh is a fault in that kind of thing. Perhaps yr own Envelopes are made of a suitabler article? If you think so, and will get me a quantity made (wholesale, as you proposed) according to the inclosed samples of size &c, it will save me a quantity of small bother as well as small money, and be very welcome to me.——I sent off the order about the Frontispiece Prints:2 "To be done in 8 months hence," I covenant; tho' alas there is small possibility of our being ready for them then! But it is better to be safe, and leave a margin. If both Prints cannot be done in 8 months, then they are to do one; and we will employ Young3 upon the other.
Yours very truly /
T. Carlyle

Something that is mine
Monday, June 18, 2012
This past weekend for me was well, boring. When I find myself in that position I find myself head first into a box of crackers. That got me to thinking once again about that role food plays in my life. I literally thought to myself on Saturday night, at least I have dinner to look forward to. Sounds pitful when I write it out but there are times when you just got nothing going. Specifically being that right now my budget is tight and it is hard to motivate when it is 110 degrees out. But still, it nags me to no end that food becomes the emphasis. Why can't I look forward to something else? I know in part what the answer to that question is, it is my struggle with depression. A battle I have been fighting for many years. So even though I could be doing something sometimes nothing is my alternative. I am working on that and it is a process. So, as I was getting ready this morning I starting thinking about making something other than food mine. Many people have lots of things that are theirs, a wonderful hobby (not for me), working out (I do it, but not the mine I am thinking of), a job they love (work in progress), a significant other (work in progress). Those are big things that come to mind, but what if I start small, with one little thing.
So tonight I will start that little thing with a book that I really want to read! I have at least 3 books going but nothing that really grab's me! I am going to open as many books as it takes tonight to make the book so mine that I don't wanna put it down.
What else can I inch my way to? Any suggestions on what works for you?

I think finding a good book is a great idea. I love when I find a good book that I just can't put down. I also enjoy pampering myself, especially when I'm feeling down. You could indulge in a nice bubble bath while reading your book, then put on some nice smelling lotion, and give your self a manicure and pedicure. When I do things like that it makes me feel more beautiful, which in turns lifts my spirits. I also look forward to dinner, it's my favorite meal of the day. When I have time I like to put on some music and enjoy a glass of wine while I cook a beautiful healthy dinner, with lots of vegetable.

Been there! I know the oppression of depression, and how comforting crackers can be.
Don't expect a job, a relationship, a hobby, or a workout be your MINE. That expectation will leave you disappointed again and again. Because any of that stuff can be lost.
What's yours is YOU. And you seem like a smart, active woman with a lot going for her.
Do you ever feel that's not enough? Perhaps that you're not [something] enough? Smart enough, thin enough, pretty enough, etc? That's what I've struggled with my whole life.
A job, a relationship, a workout won't fix that feeling. It may for a while, but it won't last.
I don't have any real answers, because I'm still struggling myself. My best advice is keep busy - boredom leads to snacking and to beating myself up. Then beating myself up FOR snacking.

A pickup for slugs
Last Sunday we took a walk along a wooded park in a slightly rural area. Near the end of the park there were some isolated houses and in front of one of them was an old, dirty pickup truck.
I noticed some peculiar marks on the dust-covered hood of the truck.
On close inspection, they turned out to be slug feeding tracks.
These slugs normally graze on layers of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria, actually). But what was covering the hood of the truck didn't look anything like algae to me. It was for like a blackened crust of street dust. There must be something nourishing in it, though.
Here is another post about the discovery of slug tracks in an unexpected spot.

Sophomore Kristyn Williams (Grand Prairie, Texas/Mansfield Timberview High School) of the No. 9 Stanford women's track and field team was selected as the Stanford/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of January 13-19.
Williams broke the Stanford indoor record for the 400 meters, and broke a meet record, with a time of 53.39 at the UW Indoor Preview on the 307-meter flat Dempsey Indoor track in Seattle. She followed with a 53.1 relay leg to lead Stanford to victory in the 4x400.
Williams overcame a broken foot suffered while running the 4x400 at the NCAA West Prelims last spring. She bounced back by breaking the Stanford mark of 53.57 by Amber Purnell, and the meet record of 55.41 by Aimee Teteris, both from 2006. Williams won the race by 2.6 seconds and her time was the sixth-fastest, including outdoors, ever at Stanford.This is Williams' first Stanford/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor and the first for the women's track and field team in the 2014 season.
Also nominated: Kristie Ahn (Women's Tennis), Darian Brooks (Men's Track and Field), Ryan Mango (Wrestling), Akash Modi (Men's Gymnastics), Chasson Randle (Men's Basketball), Maciek Romanowicz (Men's Tennis), Karlie Samuelson (Women's Basketball), Kristina Vaculik (Women's Gymnastics).

City Fireflies is an installation created by design and technology collective UNCODED for the facade at the Prado MediaLab in Madrid.
The game functions by using light from cell phones as controllers that remove the "threats" that are attacking and trying to take over the urban plaza. As the game progresses the threats become more difficult to defeat so more players and phones are needed to join in on the action turning the game into a multiplayer collaborative effort.
According to the creators of the project Victor Diaz and Sergio Galán the system was designed to explore new ways of engaging in public spaces that are accessible to almost anyone without a complex set of instructions or the need to maintain and manage a separate system of game controllers.

The Goldstone Commission, formally known as the Commission of Inquiry Regarding the Prevention of Public Violence and Intimidation, was appointed to investigate political violence and intimidation that occurred between July 1991 and the April 1994 general elections.
Appointed by then president FW de Klerk on 24 October 1991, the commission submitted 47 seperate reports.
The Commission played a critical role in defusing political violence that arose as negotiations around the future of South Africa began. The Commission concluded that political violence was fuelled by a 'third force'.
The Commission was chaired by Justice Richard Goldstone.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.

I start a MacroModel computation from Maestro, but nothing seems to happen. The command file (.com) and input structure file (.mae) are written to the current working directory, but there is no log (.log) file, and all of the MacroModel jobs fail. What's going wrong?
The most likely cause is that the temporary file directory is not correctly specified in the schrodinger.hosts file for the machine you ran the job on. In the schrodinger.hosts file being used, please make sure that:
- There is a tmpdir: setting for the machine that specifies a temporary directory
- The directory exists for that machine, and

The first time Tokeino Hari-sensei's shoujo manga Oniichan to Issho (released as With My Brothers in Indonesia) graced HanaLaLa's front cover was back in 2007—with Issue 15. This second appearance proves that Oniichan won't lose to...Okojo-san! (Issue 14 and 26 covers)
(For the likes of Penguin Revolution, Ouran, or Skip Beat! to have at least two covers in HanaLaLa's history makes perfect commercial sense, so I'm glad that the low-key, albeit still harem- and Not blood siblings-troped series has joined these more profitable regulars.)
Could it be because at last installment, were it not for Naka-chan interruptus, Katagiri would've kissed brother-complexed Sakura-chan? And all the while Sakura just wants to confess her feelings to Masashi-nii? Does she declare her love in this issue and is that why the front cover? Okay, okay, I promise not to spoil... It's most probably because Sakura-chan turns 17 in chapter 30. Moving on.
HanaLaLa 31 also heralds the return of Uno Ayumi-sensei's Okojo-banchou (Mr. ERMINE Si Penguasa) that I thought had fallen into a crack in the universe. Also resurrected are the full-color spreads. There's three of them: for La Corda D'Oro Symphony No. 32, Skip Beat! Act.76, and Alice Academy Story 53. And while only a page featuring Arisa—English School Wars (Eikaiwa School Wars) Practice 3.
HL 31 likewise makes good on the promised hefty chapters for Dragon's Fiancé (50 pages) and Arakure - The Wild Ones (40 pages). I talk about these chapters after the table of contents.

Arakure chapter 10 by Fujiwara Kiyo
The promised 40 pages deal with an underwear thief... and Sachie is one of his/her victims?? Do Igarashi (and Azuma) save this maiden's precious panties? And what kind does she wear anyway?
The comic antics of mistaken culprits aside, it's the sore lack of Igarashi x Sachie goodness that made this chapter lukewarm. I just hope it doesn't preview Arakure plotting to come...
Alice Academy (Gakuen Alice) Story 53 by Tachibana Higuchi
(Something to tide you over after finishing Alice Academy volume 9)
We move on to the new year and it seems everyone in Class B is getting tons of cards—save Mikan who received only one (from her grandpa) and Natsume who refuses to show or let anyone know (unless s/he wants to be singed) who sent him his card. Mikan opens mouth and inserts foot when she inquires about Natsume's family, the absence of whom is an open secret (except to Mikan).
However, this shortage of sensitivity not the reason why no one greets Mikan, born on January first, a
Happy birthday.
Dragon's Fiancé (Ryuu no Hanawazurai) Chapter 2 by Kusakawa Nari
I can actually smell the testosterone wafting from the pages where Lushin and Kwan show off their sword skills in a tournament that draws the best blade wielders from all over. Lushin fangirl that I am, I say that Lushin came out tops, especially with his confident
I don't have to kill to win pronouncement, not to mention his braiding Shakuya's hair interlude.
Is it any wonder that there's now a wild rosebud added to Shakuya's Lushin tattoo?
English School Wars (Eikaiwa School Wars) Practice 3 by Matsumoto Tomo
Whoa! You kiss your mother with that mouth??
This chapter features the command:
Go f**k yourself one too many times. The potty mouth is redeemed by some halfway adorable growing closeness between Arisa and Ish, the first on their way back from an errand to a convenience store (it's not a 100-yen shop so they didn't fight) and the other, on the school's rooftop where Arisa in a yukata sought refuge from the English-speaking guests of a school get-together.
Favorite line (Ish to Arisa):
Don't wander around! Stay beside me!
Ouran High School Host Club chapter 37 by Hatori Bisco
Chapter 37 aired as anime episode 20 -
The Door the Twins Opened (双子があけた扉 - Futago ga Aketa Tobira).
All I can say is, once you've read up to the 12th volume, you will want to re-read this chapter that tells how the twins ended up in the Host Club. It adds a new dimension to HikaHaru and KaoHaru (not to mention HikaKao).
Penguin Revolution (Penguin Kakumei) Chapter 20 by Tsukuba Sakura
Ryo and Yukari's pampering of the catatonic Aya was just too kee-YOOT! We have to thank the nefarious Yasuoka Production subplot for that.
More importantly, Yukari finally learns the name of the first person whose talent wings she saw (remember the first chapter?): Oka Yoko.
Vampire Knight Ninth Night by Hino Matsuri
Ninth Night: Their Choices obviously equates with Vampire Knight episode 6 -
Their Choice (彼等の選択 - Karera no Kuraimu). If you watched that anime eppie, I don't need to blather about what happened in this chapter. If you need to refresh your memory, go here.
UPCOMING: HanaLala 32/2008
- Alice Academy - two chapters
The next issue streets 18 November 2008.

New York is expensive. Here's how to have a cheap night out and still enjoy yourself.
Yes. You're not in college anymore and you're definitely not going to that 'da club' that looks the other way when checking IDs. However, in New York, it's not rare to pay $12 - $14 for each mixed drink you order and upwards of $8 for a good beer. If you have some leftovers hanging around your one-bedroom flex apartment, take advantage. If you feel good enough when you head out and meet your friends, you might not drink as much. Less drinking leads to less money spent, which leads to you being able to write your rent check without crying.
You're out with your friends, you're going to be drinking, and the last thing you want to do is go outside and start searching for the train on the way there or on the way home. Obviously. But even if you're staying in Manhattan and staying on one side of the island (West side is best, let's just get this straight), cab fare can add up. Walk the few extra blocks to the train, it will be worth it when you wake up in the morning without a pile of receipts surrounding your bed.
Be friendly
Obviously we all just want to hang with our friends sometimes with no external influences, but being nice costs nothing. And you know what else costs nothing? A free drink. It happens more often than you think, and you don't have to flirt with a decrepit millionaire to reap some benefits. A smile and a compliment to your bartender and not being a jerk to your neighbor can actually go a long way.
Set a drink maximum
The only person who knows how much you can afford is you. If 3 drinks is your spending maximum, stick to it. You can have fun without being wasted, and it will make getting home easier, without a cab.
Know when to leave
Nobody wants to be the last one at the party and nobody wants to be the girl or guy begging people to keep it going. When the party's over, it's over. Know when to leave and don't be the last person there. For obvious reasons, you don't want to be the drunkest one. For less obvious reasons, if you leave last, you'll probably end up paying for the friend who 'forgot' to leave cash for the bill.

By steffo on Apr 10, 2008
The acquisition of Vaau enriches our identity portfolio by a role mining and management tool. Tried to figure out the main differences and areas of application between RBACx and Sun's Identity Manager. First of all, Vaau's RBACx (Sun Role Manager) is more a configurable tool rather than a programmable tool as for example Sun's Identity Manager. Programmable means that the configuration language includes things like IF THEN ELSE, WHILE loops. So Identity Manager can be applied to many areas and programmed as desired.
Role Manager is quite static compared to Identity Manager. It has its fixed area of application which is compliance and role management (including role mining). This makes it more a management tool rather than an administration tool. Role Manager can talk to Identity Manager via SPML. So you can drag out all user data from Identity Manager and import it via SPML into Role Manager.
Which tool to start with? Apart from that there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to enterprise apps, I would recommend to start with a privisioning tool which (IDM). First, you need data cleansing
- find out stale data (accounts, attributes etc)
- check for compliance violations, segregation of duties
Both tasks can be done with Identity Manager or with Role Manager. However, my personal view is that Identity Manager is more flexible because it accesses data online whereas Role Manager needs a CSV file for data loading if you don't drag out the data via SPML. Compliance tasks and attestation can be implemented in either.
Second, role mining is a nice feature when you haven't defined your roles yet. Role mining is not a black art. It uses a covering algorithm to help the role designer in a way a CAD system helps technical designers. The important point here is that the outcome of the mining process is where technology meets business: whether or not a mined role is useful depends on the business.
The mined roles can be amended to meet business criteria and then be exported to an identity management system (e.g. Sun's Identity Manager) from where the entitlements can be provisioned to the target systems (RACF, AD, LDAP etc). Overall impression: good tool. But beware it's called Role Manager and not sox.exe or security.exe.

Northern Imagination, a California-based company, have a Kickstarter page setup to get a statue of the famous innovator Nikola Tesla built-in Silicon Valley. Northern Imagination need to raise $123,000 in order to get the statue erected, and at the time of writing they had $80,269 pledged with 35 hours to go.
If they meet their funding goal, they would built a statue in Palo Alto, California and would make the statue depicting Tesla holding a lightbulb, demonstrating a wireless electricity concept. Better yet, the statue will double as a Wi-Fi hotspot and house a time capsule with predictions from Kickstarter backers that won't be opened for 30 years, all the way in the year 2043.

The E-3 classification applies only to nationals of Australia. Like the H-1B category, the employee must be coming to the United States solely to perform services in a specialty occupation which should require the application of knowledge in a professional field and attainment of at least a Bachelor's degree.
The O-1 visa category is available for those foreign nationals who meet the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services definition of "extraordinary ability". The individual meeting such definition has a level of expertise indicating that the person is one of the small percentage who has risen to the very top of the field of endeavor. The person qualifying for O-1 status will have sustained national or international recognition of his or her accomplishments in the field, and will be required to prepare and submit substantial documentation of those achievements.
The O-1 classification is suitable for faculty level research scholars who have extraordinary ability in the sciences and who will be working on an 'event' or project that requires someone of that caliber. Clinical faculty with significant research responsibilities, as well as teaching and patient care duties, may also qualify for the O-1 classification.
The North American Free Trade Agreement created the TN-1 visa category for citizens of Mexico and Canada. The TN-1 category allows Canadian and Mexican nationals in a prescribed set of occupations to come to the United States temporarily. Some of the eligible occupations include nurses, physical therapists, medical technologists, professors and physicians conducting research, among others.

"The Railway Man" will have a theatrical run in Houston starting today.
"The Railway Man" is based on a true story and set in England in 1980 where Colin Firth portrays Eric, a middle aged man who has a rabid obsession of trains. Eric meets Patti (Nicole Kidman) on a train solely because he switched routes when his is delayed. The two hit it off and eventually marry, but it doesn't take long for Eric to start pulling away from Patti. He starts becoming more withdrawn and having emotional breakdowns, but won't open up to Patti about the cause of his mental and emotional anguish.
Back in 1942 in Singapore, young Eric (played by Jeremy Irvine) was a soldier in the British army when the Japanese invaded and took over in World War II. Eric was singled out and tortured during his time in the war. The experience was so traumatizing that Eric even shut out his best friend Finlay (Stellan Skarsgard) from fully knowing what he went through. It's brought to Eric's attention that the man who tortured him, a translator named Takashi Nagase (Hiroyuki Sanada), is still alive and well. Closure is finally within Eric's grasp.
The opening to this dramatic war film based on the autobiography by Eric Lomax is extremely slow. Witnessing the connection Patti and Eric grow to have with one another is necessary to have any sort of emotional investment in what Eric goes through later on in the film. However that doesn't mean it's completely satisfying. The conversations Eric and Patti have are incredibly boring. They bicker over whether the rice Eric is cooking will leave burn marks on the pan and they mostly discuss Eric's knowledge of trains which loses its appeal approximately 60 seconds after Eric opens his mouth.
The rest of the film is like trying to put Humpty Dumpty together again. Eric basically retreats into himself, won't talk to anyone, and often has explosive and violent outbursts, so it's up to the film to explain why with flashbacks and multiple conversations between Patti and Finlay. "The Railway Man" does an excellent job playing leapfrog with the past and the present often bridging the gap with something as simple as hearing church bells and its significance in both the past and the present.
Eric dives headfirst into his train-loving hobby without looking back after the war. He tunes in and out of reality spontaneously while the trauma of the war is practically sanity breaking. After the fall of the British Empire, Eric was shoved into a train car with other British soldiers and forced to work for the Japanese. He experienced savage, merciless beatings, crammed into a cage in the blazing hot sun, and put through water torture all for building a simple radio. Seeing the faces of broken men while Eric is being beaten only sells the cruelty Eric went through.
"The Railway Man" is kind of like the "Jacob's Ladder" of dramatic war films if you tone down the horror aspect and crank up the dramatic factor. Eric's journey is a blurred line between psychosomatic illusionary nightmares and a distorted reality. "The Railway Man" is a shell-shocked, war induced, hallucinogenic fever dream driven by life altering torture and the emotional powerhouse performance of Colin Firth.

'On-call' status requires officers to be fit for duty.
YOUNGSTOWN — Detective Sgt. Robert Deichman's blood-alcohol concentration was nearly double the legal limit when he drove an unmarked police car into the side of a semi tractor-trailer and died, crash investigators said.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was called in to investigate the crash that took place in front of Zorro Trucking, 2755 Salt Springs Road, around 3:20 a.m. June 19. Deichman, traveling in the eastbound lane in a 2003 Ford Taurus, hit the side of the tractor-trailer that had pulled into the roadway to travel westbound. The truck driver, David J. Feliciano, 38, of Berlin Center, was not injured.
The patrol's incomplete report, released Monday afternoon, shows that Deichman's blood-alcohol concentration was 0.158. The legal limit is 0.08.
Deichman, who was not wearing his seat belt, was dead at the scene. His injuries included severe lacerations and broken bones on his left arm, a broken right wrist and cuts to both hands, forehead, right eyelid, nose, lips, cheeks and chin, the patrol said.
The point of impact was a half-mile from his apartment on Tyrell Avenue.
"Sadly, it appears that this loss could and should have been avoided," Mayor Jay Williams said in a press release. "If anything can be taken away from this experience it should be a somber admonishment that operating a motor vehicle while impaired is forever a tragedy waiting to occur. The family of Detective Sgt. Deichman remains in our thoughts and prayers."
Police Chief Jimmy Hughes could not be reached.
The report notes that the marker light in the middle left side of the truck's trailer was not functioning at the time of the crash. The truck driver told investigators that he first noticed Deichman's car when it was between two business signs west of Zorro Trucking. The investigators, using two state cruisers, determined the point of possible perception of a vehicle traveling toward Zorro Trucking was 1,811 feet.
The pavement at the time of the crash was dry and clear of debris. The crash sight is not directly lighted but there are several lighted signs and parking lots nearby making the area fairly well illuminated, the patrol said.
The initial report will be supplemented with crash reconstruction and speed estimation — the posted speed is 35 mph — and given to city Prosecutor Jay Macejko. He said Monday that he will review the crash reconstruction before determining if charges will be filed against the truck driver.
The crash report lists contributing circumstances as the truck driver's failure to yield. Under "condition," it lists Feliciano as normal and Deichman as under the influence of alcohol. Feliciano's urine was tested for alcohol/drugs, but the results were not available Monday.
Records show Feliciano was charged with failure to yield right of way at an accident on South Avenue in late 2005 and pleaded no contest to a reduced charge. He received probation and had to pay the other driver's deductible.
Deichman, 40, was a nine-year veteran of the Youngstown Police Department. He had been assigned to the Accident Investigation Unit.
At the time of the crash, Deichman was off duty but on call — expected to respond in the event of an accident that would require him to investigate. Officers are paid $88 for each week they are scheduled on call.
On-call status requires that officers be in reasonable proximity of the city and fit for duty, according to the union contract. Department policy prohibits use of a city vehicle after drinking.
Deichman had been out celebrating a fellow officer's birthday.
Patrolman Brad Ditullio, who had been with Deichman, told patrol investigators that they arrived at a Mahoning Avenue bar (on the West Side) around 9 p.m. June 18. They stayed until about 1:15 a.m. and then left together to go to a bar on Midlothian Boulevard on the South Side. Deichman left his city car parked at Mahoning and Steel Street. Ditullio dropped Deichman back off at his car at 2:45 a.m.
The patrol report does not indicate where Deichman went between 2:45 and the time of the crash.
Damage to his city vehicle was extensive.
Deichman was buried a week ago at Calvary Cemetery after a funeral Mass at St. Nicholas Church in Struthers.
Some of the 300 or so who came to pay their last respects at the church wore a lapel photo of Deichman in his uniform. The photo lists "sunrise" as Sept. 24, 1967, his birthday, and "sunset" as June 19, his death.
Deichman's sister, Dawn Brown, showed reporters an "In Loving Memory" tattoo on her right arm that depicts her brother's badge. Youngstown officers wore a small black band across their badges.
Deichman's wife, Lori, and their daughters, Jenna, 15, and Julianna, 11, live in Struthers. The Deichmans were legally separated in 2003, court papers show. He had filed for divorce in March.
Old Man Grump and the Mayor were exactly correct in their
statements. This is a sensely tragedy. I worked in law
enforcement, at the State level, for 24 years, and his
partygoing friends are trained to recognize under the
influence conditions, as well as, their own impairment. They
were all irresponsible in allowing him to operate any vehicle. Sadly, the belt usage may have made the difference.
Best regards to everyone who has been touched by this
tragedy and may we all learn from it. Godspeed, C.R. Gallagher
i have to agree with oldmangrump & celeste.this is a tragedy but as you can see, who do you think they are going to end up blaming for this accident. it will end up being the poor man who was doing his job, sober! i'm glad that i wasn't in an accident and he had to respond and do the investigation for mine. who's to say he would have been sober enough to give an accurate report.
Unfortunately, when there is a accident involving a truck (semi), people 99% of the time assume it is the trucker. As in this case the man went to work and was hit by a drunk driver. It is as simple as that. If it were anyone but a officer, it would have rested there. Anytime a truck is involved in a accident, logs are checked, urine sample is checked and so on. If the trucker only had 8 hours off and not the required 10, it would be that he should have never been there in the first place, thus, lets blame the truck driver. That will never change. Hopefully, people don't succeed in blaming the truck driver in this case and site him for anything. And really, who cares about a "failure to yeild" that happened 3 years ago??? Does that mean that you never yeild now? Another attempt to "lets blame the trucker"!! Get over it already the officer was a drunk driver that chose to not wear a seat belt (which we would get a ticket for) and he was killed. This was preventable. The one's that get hurt the most is his two daughters and there is just no excuse for that!!!

March 17, 2014
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama left-handed pitcher Thomas Burrows was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday. Burrows made three appearances for the Crimson Tide last week, where he picked up a win and his first career save.
Burrows closed out all three wins for Alabama without allowing a hit or a run, while striking out five of the 12 batters he faced. Along the way, Burrows, who retired 11 of the 12 batters he faced in 3.2 innings, earned first career save and his third win of the season.
The Florence, Ala., native threw a perfect inning against Samford, a team that was hitting .301 entering the game, striking out two of the three batters he faced. On Friday night, he earned his first career save against No. 20 Kentucky, the nation's top-hitting team entering the weekend, when he retired all five batters he faced, with two strikeouts, preserving a shutout of the Wildcats. In his third appearance of the week, he got the win after throwing a scoreless 10th inning against the Cats that included one strikeout.
This season, Burrows leads the team with seven appearances, totaling 11.0 innings. He has not allowed a run, while striking out 12 and has given up just one hit to the 34 batters he's faced. He is holding opponents to a .030 batting average and is 3-0 with one save in 2014.
Burrows and the Crimson Tide will return to the diamond on Tuesday night with the first of two games against the Alcorn State Braves. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. CT from Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Game two will be Wednesday night with first pitch at 5:05 p.m. CT.

Gimme a "S"! Gimme a "T"! Gimme a "Y"! Gimme a "L"! Gimme a "E"! What's that spell?
Ok, no it doesn't. But we weren't English majors (we totally were) so don't expect much. But what we do expect from you as a loyal Outblush readers is that y'all be well versed in the language of back-to-school arts which is why we bring to you A Collegiate Collection: For the Northern Northern Frosty Vixen. Any girl should know that college is a place of higher learning (duh) but it's also a place to showcase your fashion chops. You should develop a stronger sense of style along with a strong GPA, never compromising one for the other. You should be the prettiest, smartest co-ed you can possibly be. And with these university must-haves, you'll be on the Outblush Dean's List every semester.
So... you're not in the south. You're not in the north. Maybe you're on the coast, and maybe you're not. If your campus doesn't have a distinct style or climate to dictate what to wear, it can be a little hard to determine a proper wardrobe. Especially when you're supposed to be selecting classes, navigating roommate relations, and figuring out what the hell there is to do in this new city you're now in. Here are some basic style tips, loosely based on this editor's experience on a campus that was full of surfers, cowboys, sorority girls, engineers, and everything in between.
Dressing for class:
Generally speaking, no one gets 'dressed up' for class. The people who do are trying too hard. You might want to go a step beyond your PJs, but there's nothing wrong with some simple black yoga pants and a comfy top. You'll look a lot more pulled together if you can find a top that feels like a sweatshirt but doesn't have the hood, zipper and college logo that says "I don't give a damn." Obviously, jeans are indispensable, but a simple casual skirt goes a long way in making you look like you might've tried just a little. Same goes for a casual dress that you can wear through the year with leggings or tights. As far as footwear, invest in a pair of Rainbow flip flops. They'll last all four years and will mold to your feet like a second skin.
1.BP. Foldover Waist Yoga Pants ($34)
2. Stevie Lace Trim Sweatshirt ($40 on sale)
3. Perfect Denim Pencil Skirt ($30)
4. Pleated Shirt Dress ($35)
5. Rainbow Rainbow">Thin Strap Sandals ($36)
Dressing for 'real life'
You're not just a student, who knew? Easy, casual khakis in neutral or black paired with a simple blouse and denim jacket is a pulled-together but not overdone look that works for errands around town or an internship wardrobe. A dress with a bit more structure and an accent belt also meet the same requirements. You're going to want comfortable shoes if you're walking around campus or town, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. Flats with some support are your new best friend, followed closely by a wedge. You don't want to be traipsing around town in heels. Save that for the corporate world.
6. Gap Classic Khakis ($50)
7. Lily White Sleeveless Ruffle Chiffon Top ($32)
8. Cropped Denim Jacket ($40)
9. Calvin Klein Belted Portrait Collar Sheath Dress ($118)

Rockin' Ricks has been out on the streets of Dallas for a couple of months now but generally is not in areas that I have easy access to on a regular basis. Over the last couple of weeks, they have been doing service in Irving, so I was able to visit during lunch this week.
Before the truck ever hit the streets I had exchanged several emails with the owner and was under the impression that this was a Cajun truck. When I got to the truck I was confused because even though the truck has a crawfish logo and beads and a Krewe doll for decoration, the variety of the menu did not immediately make me think "Cajun". After I returned to the office, I checked the Rockn Rick's website and sure enough, the truck is described as "All American Cuisine". With a menu of Philly Cheese steak Hamburgers, Po-Boys, Hot Dogs, Salads and Gumbo, I think this is an accurate description.
Because I went to the truck believing it was Cajun, I had already decided to order the shrimp po-boy and the gumbo. Having grown up on the edge of Cajun country and spent my entire life eating shrimp and gumbo, these were going to be items that I hold to a high standard.
First up, the shrimp po-boy. I was surprised when I picked up my order that the shrimp was grilled. Again, thinking this was a Cajun truck it never crossed my mind that the shrimp would not be fried. That said, the grilled shrimp was good and the remoulade sauce was some of the best I have ever had. With a full dressed sandwich, I have no complaints about the lack of extra calories and fat.
I was pleasantly surprised with the gumbo. It was full of large pieces of white meat chicken and sausage and a nice base of white rice. The flavor was full but not overly complicated. I, personally, like my roux to be a bit thicker and darker but that is very much a personal preference and this roux was better than a lot that I have had at high end seafood restaurants.
Once I managed my expectations, with the understanding that this truck serves "All American cuisine", I can say that I enjoyed this truck and look forward to trying other menu items.
Rockn' Rick's is usually found in Dallas and is working hard to be able to operate in their home-town of Forney. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to find out where they will be and go try their All American menu. It's not Cajun but it is tasty.

First you see this nanny, now you don't. Has she finally disappeared or will she return to terrorizing the family that hired her?
A live-in nanny took the "live-in" portion of her job title quite seriously, refusing to leave the home of Ralph and Marcella Bracamonte – an Upland, California couple with three young children. While 64-year-old Diane Stretton has the "live-in" down pat, it's the "nanny" part of her job that the Bracamontes were not happy with. Stretton was fired, but incredulously, she refused to leave. The exasperated couple say Stretton is nothing but a squatter at this point, but the law appears to be on the nanny's side.
The Bracamontes placed an ad on Craigslist, offering to room a nanny in exchange for caregiving of their children – ages 11, 4 and 1 – along with general housework and some cooking. Stretton responded to the ad, and the benevolent elderly woman, who at first appeared to be a cross between Mrs. Doubtfire and the Brady Bunch's Alice, quickly turned into a You, Me and Dupree nanny nightmare.
Stretton stopped cooking, stopping caring for the kids, stopped smiling and basically morphed into a typical 17-year-old teen – locked up in her room and only coming out when she was hungry.
"I think she actually spends her day trying to ruin people's lives," an exasperated Marcella Bracamonte, 31, told Good Morning America, "and misery loves company."
Marcella said things at first were fine, better than fine even. "The first few weeks she was awesome," the mom said. "She would come places with us, help out the kids. She was really great. All of a sudden she stopped working, she would stay in her room all day and only come out when food was ready."
The Bracamontes have tried everything they can – they contacted police, served the nanny with drawn up papers and contracts, even putting a bike lock on their refrigerator to keep Stretton from mooching. But she's still sticking it out. What's more, the police told the family of five that Stretton has "established residency" and can't simply be strong-armed out. Authorities say it's a civil matter, and if the family wants her out, they must file for an eviction – a process that can take months.
When a local CBS reporter asked Stretton why she wouldn't leave, the nanny said nothing.
"This person is in our house, and I have to go to work," said 35-year-old Ralph Bracamonte, who works as an electrician. "She towers over my wife, my kids. And I know there is nothing I can do about it."
In fact, the Bracamontes said Stretton has even threatened to sue them – for wrongful firing and elder abuse.
Stretton is no stranger to litigation. Despite claiming to do a background check on her, somehow the Bracamontes missed the fact that her name has been connected with at least 35 past lawsuits.
ABC News gave a little insight into the tribulation that has become the Bracamonte's life:
Stretton told the couple she had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which prevented her from helping around the house.
After what the Bracamontes said was weeks of failed attempts to encourage Stretton to perform some of her agreed upon duties, the couple approached her on June 6 with a "last chance letter" reiterating the conditions of her job and stating the consequences if she continued to ignore her responsibilities. Stretton, Bracamonte said, refused to sign the letter, saying that the job was too much for her and she would be leaving in 30 days.
The Bracamontes approached her with a second letter putting her 30-day notice in writing, which, they said, she also refused to sign.
"When I asked her why she wouldn't sign the letter she said 'It's not legal,' and slammed the door in my face," Marcella Bracamonte recalled. "Once she said the word legal, I knew it wasn't going to be fun."
She's sue-happy, says Marcella. "Anyone who looks at her crooked, she sues. I'm not going to bend for her. I'm in charge, this is my house. She's not going to scare me out of my own house."
But Marcella is concerned about the safety of her children. "I worry there's obviously something not right in her mind, and the police won't protect us until someone gets hurt," the mom said. "You don't know what you're opening yourself up to when you open your house to someone,
The Daily Mail is now reporting that Stretton, who was evidently homeless for nine years before landing the job with the Bracamontes, left their home on Thursday and was seen cowering in a car parked outside of an Upland police station, hiding under a blue windshield cover. The Bracamontes say all of her belongings are still in her room however, so who knows what this wonky nanny-turned-squatter is up to now.
"If we're to lock her out of our house she could sue us, if we're to grab her stuff and throw it out of our house she can sue us," Ralph said.
USA Today said "Stretton reportedly has been involved in three dozen lawsuits and is listed by California courts as a 'vexatious litigant' for abusing the legal system."

How to invest in the coming housing market rebound
The housing market recovery hasn't taken off yet, but a rally in its stocks sure has. The Standard & Poor's homebuilders index is up 60 percent since October. Given that stock prices tend to anticipate business trends, does that mean a housing market rebound is imminent during the spring home-selling season?

Seacoast United Development Academy alumnus Stefan Defregger is the latest addition to the midfield of Wilmington Hammerheads FC for the upcoming United Soccer Leagues season.
The 2014 US Soccer Winter Showcase will be held at the Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, FL from Saturday, November 29 through Wednesday, December 3. Each team will play 3 games over 4 days. Seacoast United is one of the 77 US Development Academy clubs attending.
In an effort to help support the Seacoast United US Soccer Development Academy Program (USDAP), Seacoast United's Director of Soccer Iain Scott decided to restructure the Club's boys' program during the summer of 2014. The US Development Academy program is the highest level of soccer for boys in the United States with 80 member clubs, only 3 of which are located in the Northern New England area.
Recognizing the importance of home grown players, Scott repositioned his coaching staff to heavily impact the boys U10, U11, and U12 age groups and implemented a pool-style roster encouraging player movement between teams when a spike occurred in their development curve. This strategy has created a competitive environment on a weekly basis with players striving for improvement.
Seacoast United's U13/14 US Development Academy team is headed to the U13/14 East Regional Event, taking place at BB&T Park in Winston/Salem NC this coming weekend. Coaches Tim Farrell, Otniel (Coach Oach) Nascimento, and Academy Director Corlton Simmond are travelling with the team.
The group departs from Manchester, NH on Friday, and will compete in three games in two days.
Saturday, November 8th
11:30am vs. Jacksonville FC U13/14
3:15pm vs. Soccer Association of Columbia U13/14

When Missy Deming went to vote Tuesday, she thought something was missing from the ballot: Where was the race for the board of governors of the Medina County Schools' Educational Service Center?
She was told it wasn't a mistake. While the Educational Service Center serves all school districts in the county, voters in only about a third of the county's 117 precincts — those in the Highland, Buckeye and Cloverleaf school districts — get to decide who serves on the board.
Voters living in the Medina, Brunswick and Wadsworth school districts aren't eligible.
Deming doesn't think that's right.
"It's a county board and it represents all districts, so I think people in all districts should get a say," Deming said. "I think that needs to be brought to light and it needs to be changed."
Deming isn't the only voter who wondered why the ESC board wasn't on their ballots.
"I know a number of people had questions about it," county Board of Elections Director Carol Lawler said.
Lawler said elections workers were caught off-guard by the questions on a busy elections day and phoned the ESC to try to get an explanation.
"We did check our ballots to make sure we had the proper items on the ballot," Lawler said.
"We knew (Medina school district residents) weren't supposed to vote on the ESC, but we couldn't tell them why."
The explanation of why only some county voters get to vote for the ESC's board has its roots in the nearly century-old Ohio law that created the county boards of education, which are the predecessors of the county educational service centers.
The Ohio General Assembly created the county school boards in 1914 to administer the state's thousands of rural school districts, said Craig Burford, executive director of the Ohio ESC Association.
"We were really established to make sure there was a coordinated level of curriculum and a standard level of education across all the districts back when we still had many one-room schoolhouses in the state."
At the time the law was passed, the state had more than 2,500 school districts. It now has 609, according to the Ohio Department of Education.
The consolidation of the rural schools into "local school" districts — each with its own school board — began in the 1930s and continued until the 1960s.
In Medina County, that led to the creation of the Buckeye, Cloverleaf and Highland districts.
At the end of the process, the county school board had no more schools to administer. But instead of shutting down the county boards, the Legislature rebranded them educational service centers with the responsibility of providing services, such as bus driver training, school nurses, special needs teachers and therapists, which were needed by all local school districts.
"We went from thousands of districts to the local ones we have today," Burford said. "The local districts were the only ones we were required to provide services to."
In 1989, the state law was changed to allow ESCs also to support city school districts, Burford said.
Many districts, including Medina, Brunswick and Wadsworth, jumped at the chance to share services and the cost-savings it promised.
In 2011, legislators in Columbus went further and required every district with 16,000 or fewer students to be served by an ESC.
Burford said that includes all but the state's seven largest districts, including Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo and Akron.
The new requirement prompted calls for changes in the way ESC governing boards are elected.
Burford said his association has recommended residents in city school districts get to vote on who sits on their county or regional ESC board.
"Before then, you could make an argument that all the districts have the ability to come and go from the ESC as they saw fit," he said. "But now, everyone is required to be aligned with an ESC."
Proposals for reform
Buford said changes to the ESC's organization and governing board were proposed by Gov. John Kasich as part of the state's two-year budget approved in June.
But instead of increasing the number of eligible voters, Buford said the proposals would have changed "the definition of ESCs, to expand our services to all government organizations … not just schools."
Burford said his association opposed the proposal, arguing the primary mission of the ESCs should continue to be education services.
The proposed reforms also would have eliminated elected ESC governing boards, replacing them with members appointed by the school districts the ESCs serve.
Burford's association opposed that idea as well.
"We're really for publicly elected boards and the accountability that goes along with it," he said. "I think the Legislature agreed, and elected not to go along with the reforms the (Kasich) administration proposed."
William Koran, superintendent of the Medina County Schools' ESC, agreed that residents in the city school districts should be represented on the governing board.
Koran pointed out that two-thirds of his $6.3 million budget comes from the county's three city school districts — Brunswick, Medina and Wadsworth.
"I think anyone funding two-thirds of our dollars and getting two-thirds of our services should have a say in what's happening," he said.
But Koran said he is concerned that a countywide vote would leave the local school districts under-represented. He feared candidates from smaller districts would lose to candidates from more populated areas.
"It's likely that our board would be comprised of only city residents," Koran said. "Would it be fair? Yes, but I don't think we'd truly be getting the representation we're trying to achieve."
Koran argued that a "council government system," where each school district got to appoint a member to the board would be best for Medina County.
The ESC serves the three city districts, three local school districts and the Medina County Career Center. (The county's seventh district, Black River, is headquartered in Sullivan, in Ashland County, and is served by the Tri-County Educational Service Center.)
"A seven-member board is perfect here," he said.
Koran noted the five-member governing board the ESC now has does not include anyone from the Buckeye district.
"Three of my board members are from Cloverleaf and two are from Highland," he said.
Koran speculated that a big reason reforms haven't been made is the difficulty of coming up with solutions that work for both urban and rural ESC districts.
"If there was an easy solution, I think it would have been done a long time ago," he said.
Koran also said there's been a lack of public pressure for reform.
"Nothing has been done, because there haven't really been any complaints about the current system," he said.
There are signs that situation has changed — at least in Medina County.
Lawler, the county's elections director, said publicity about the state auditor's investigation into Medina Schools Superintendent Randy Stepp's spending of district money from a "carryover" fund held by the county ESC, put a spotlight on the on the ESC board.
A special state audit released last month found Stepp owes the district $4,121 for money illegally spent.
Stepp has been suspended without pay and the Medina school board has initiated the process to fire him.
The audit also found Stepp spent nearly $1 million from ESC funds without proper authorization of the school district.
Prior to the release of the audit, ESC Treasurer Michelle McNeely, who signed off on Stepp's spending, resigned from her position.
News coverage of the investigation, Lawler said, highlighted the role the ESC plays in serving all school districts in the county.
"Because of the attention on the Medina superintendent, I think a number of people were looking at the ESC board and hoping to vote," Lawler said.

In some very interesting WWE rumors, Bill Golberg mentioned that meetings took place between him and Triple H before "Wrestlemania 30." Goldberg said that the meetings were about a potential return to the WWE. According to PWS on Monday, the Bill Goldberg WWE discussions were just general and nothing came from them.
There had been a lot of WWE rumors over the past year that a Goldberg vs. Ryback match might be a possibility. The fans, during Ryback's matches, normally chanted Goldberg's name. While it was a smattering of chants at first, they got louder and louder. Ryback finally struck back on Twitter, showing that the continued comparisons were starting to get to him.
One thought was that Ryback and Goldberg could have a match to help put Ryback over. These WWE rumors quieted down when Ryback started having backstage problems. There has been a lot of talk about him having a poor work ethic as well as an inflated ego. He went from being a main event star to someone who was in low-mid card feuds, losing more often than not.
Ryback has finally started to get back over in his tag team with Curtis Axel. However, when asked about the match, Goldberg never said that Ryback was to be his possible opponent. Goldberg simple said that now was not the right time for him to return to the WWE.
According to Goldberg, he said he would love for his wife and son to see him wrestle, since neither had seen it live before. However, he said he would have to be physically ready to do it and it had to be the right situation. He said that if those stipulations were met, he could have returned for "Wrestlemania 30."
Goldberg finally said that the WWE situation has to be right, or else he is retired for good. From his words, it sounds like he would be willing to come back if the situation was right. Whether that is based on the story or the money offered to him is another story.

Fascinated with how Hollywood makes something real out of the unreal, White works with special effects technicians and live models to recreate the artificiality that in Hollywood passes for reality. He builds the installations with a bunch of Hollywood stereotypes of the kind found in old Partridge Family reruns. The colors are bright, 1970's vintage, as are the situations, except every once in a while, something doesn't fit. Charlie White doesn't take photographs. He constructs them. Like a Hollywood director, he orchestrates scenes, commissions sets, hires actors, and employs a visual effects team. Then he oversees a grueling postproduction process in which each element of the shoot is digitized, scrutinized, and perfected down to the pixel. In essence, he captures an entire f/x film in one frame.For The Interloper, White hired scenic artist Jonathan Williams to paint a 24- by 35-inch Kinkade-esque work. The resulting canvas was digitally recorded by a stat camera at Warner Brothers Studios and printed onto a 20- by 36-foot backdrop. White ordered grass and bushes and built the rolling hill in the foreground. The backdrop and set were put together at a photo studio. White commissioned the two puppets with soft features, making each look like an eerie cross between a Muppet and a real child. Over the course of a day, three child actors interacted with the puppets in a variety of scenarios. White shot the scenes on 4- by 5-inch film, and selected more than 20 pictures from the 150 he shot. He then separated out the components he wanted to use and recombined and manipulated them with Photoshop. He superimposed a digital scan of the canvas over the backdrop to have better control and more detail. A lightjet printer output the final image on 3- by 5-foot photographic paper. -Jenn Shreve
Gerald Schwartz believes the presence of provocative art promotes creative thinking, remembering that "artistic presence was the only thing missing at HBS when I went there. I wanted to change that." In 1995, Gerry Schwartz and a team from HBS together began purchasing contemporary art for the HBS buildings most frequented by students. Inspired by the growing collection, a small group of MBA students founded the HBS Art Appreciation Society in 2001. It quickly grew into one of the largest student clubs on campus, sponsoring events in Boston area galleries and museums, as well as an annual weekend in Manhattan to meet artists, tour exhibitions, and attend theater. The club's co-presidents accompany Mr. Schwartz on his annual buying trip to purchase additional art for the School's collection.
