Translating the Racist Obama Comic About Ferguson Being Spread by Pro-Russia Rebels
That's always the appropriate response, right?
The good folks in the breakaway Donetsk People's Republic, formerly known as Ukraine, want you to know that they're not too busy fighting to pay attention to what's happening in the U.S. of A. In fact, they're using an image spreading over Russian-language social media that reminds the United States to mind its own business.
On Tuesday, the former "Prime Minister" of the self-proclaimed republic, Alexander Borodai, tweeted some commentary on the recent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, over the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
August 19, 2014
Here's the translation:
Obama: Hello
Putin: Hi, Obama, they tell me that your Ferguson is rising up against the authorities. [We] should probably back them up...
Obama: Vladimir, don't do this, I'm begging you!
Putin: I'm kidding, Barack! Russia, unlike certain others, doesn't interfere in the internal dealings of foreign governments
Obama: Phew! That Putin is going to drive me back up a palm tree with his jokes
Because no good Russian joke is complete without a tinge of racism.
Borodai found time to tweet amid a couple of very tough days in East Ukraine. The region looks like a war zone as all sides blame one another for attacks, and Ukrainian forces make their way deeper into rebel-held territory. On Monday, the Ukrainian government announced that rebels had attacked a caravan of internally displaced people heading out of Luhansk, killing dozens. (Evidence of this has been hard to come by; so far the only proof is a video interview with purported survivors.) Rebels denied the attack.
To try to contain the situation along the border, which now is slowly but surely headed toward an all-out military conflict, Vladimir Putin is set to meet with Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko and EU officials next week. As for that much-touted aid convoy ... well, that's still in Russia.
In another example of international pot-calling-kettle, Egypt's totally-democratic-government-that-definitely-didn't-come-into-power-because-of-a-coup also weighed in on the Ferguson shooting, urging the U.S. to exercise caution in Ferguson.
Because, you know, that's what they did all those times they sentenced pro–Muslim Brotherhood protesters to death en masse.

Mascots are stubborn: they keep on comin' at ya' bringin' that enthusiasm regardless of how your team is doin'. Have you ever seen the Pirate Parrot do an angry rant?
Has the San Diego Chicken (also known as the KGB Chicken back in the day) ever begun swearing at a Padres game forcing you to engage in a back and forth about the proper place for profanity.
Kids know the mascots as those funny faces who never clutter the carnival of that particular sports scene with mere words. You and your little kids can find words anywhere: anywhere else that is.
Mascots will never take to the microphone and declare a lineup change or the attendance total or that license plate number 765-4321 left his lights on. Neither will mascots avoid expressing themselves in that skillful way they do without even a hint of a word appearing on their never-pursed beak.
It's often a beak, isn't it? Often these giant birds are hangin' out, perched, if you will, like a giant comedy stream or flood. A silent stream is so intriguing, isn't it? These mascots, though, are really a comedy flood because their confidence is so supreme.
How does someone pull that off, that art of getting people's attention? This charm from these mascots hides a supreme confidence underneath that pile of foam rubber and ice packs.
The one trick I found out is that the mascots are cool. They're so cool but not because (not totally because) they're so cool and confident by nature. Ice packs really help! I found this out when livin' in the furnace: that steamy town of Richmond, Virginia.
On one extremely hot summer day in that Virginia city I got the brilliant idea of headin' out to see the Richmond Flying Squirrels play a baseball game. So I did what any sane fan would do: I put ice packs in my pockets which kept things cool, or cooler.
Have you been to Richmond in the summertime?
So when you see a mascot give him (or her) an icepack. Because you know, as well, how important it is to be cool.
Then you can confidently balance the idea that cool, indeed, has a few meanings.
Check out the attached video that will tell you a few cool facts about those cool customers we know by many names.

There are many ways to college affordability but two stand out above the rest in definitely saving the most and more students are likely to benefit in 2014. The first is based on the reasons college graduation rates are expected to rise according to a blog published yesterday by The Hechinger Report and the second cuts costs on the back end as reported by CNNMoney yesterday.
Graduating early/on time
The most college dollars are saved by earning a degree in the shortest amount of time so students can stop incurring costs and start working and earning. Anytime extra semesters are needed, higher education costs are increased dramatically. Dropping out is like paying for a huge consumer purchase and leaving the diploma "merchandise" behind. The key is for students to stay focused and receive specific help from others.
The Community College Spotlight, written by Joanne Jacobs, mentions The Game Changers report that contains "the five best college completion strategies" and the Alliance of States where each "state's governor -- in partnership with it's college and universities -- pledges to make college completion a top priority."
Although The Game Changers addresses community colleges, both have great ideas for all students and institutions including:
- Block scheduling: helps students balance jobs, activities and school by refining schedules.
- Highly structured academic plans: keep students and schools focused on completing semester of study not individual classes.
- Performance-based funding: aligns higher education financial investments/financial aid to outcomes as student incentives for progression and success.
- Instructional support: provides extra remedial and academic help and can match the curriculum to real-world career needs.
- Progress monitoring: to ensure students are able to take and complete necessary classes on time.
College pays loan bill
The second way to cut college costs occurs after graduation when those student loan bills come due. "A small but growing group of colleges are guaranteeing students that they will help them pay their student loan bills until they secure a well-paying job," CNNMoney reports.
The program is called loan repayment assistance and LRAP Foundation acts as an insurer, charging schools an annual fee for each student enrolled in the program. "In return, it provides financial assistance for graduates who fall below certain income thresholds, which are based on salaries of recent graduates and other regional factors," CNNMoney explains.
Participating students must graduate and work at least 30 hours a week to receive assistance and there is an income threshold that terminates the help when first reached. The loan payments may also be taxable as income to the student.
The benefits from loan repayment assistance include:
- Peace of mind for students: unsure of career and income prospects.
- Peace of mind for parents: fearing for their student's financial safety.
- Financial safety net for students: worried about their student loan debt.
- Confidence for students: to pursue and complete a college degree in their preferred field.
- Confidence for parents: to support their student's college and career goals
The top two sure-fire ways to cut college cuts may be factored in by college-bound students and their parents when forming a list of best fit colleges for students to attend. Watch the video for more ideas.

What we don't know............?????
We keep discussing facts and rumors about the game content. We look at every new screen... So what don't we know about this game. What weapons have we not seen in action? What enemies have we not seen pics of?
i don't remember seeing swamptrooper pics yet?/ What else?
I wanna see some Scout troopers
TO bad the han solo type blaster isn't in the sp game. Hopefully it will be modded.
i know all i want to know (even more accually) before i play the game
Did they modify Kyle's Bryar Pistol? I remember reading about you being able to charge the gun, just like Han's DL-44. I'm sure you couldn't do that before with the Bryar Pistol. Then again, who really uses the Bryar Pistol? :D
yes you can charge it up
It was useful in SP to take down troopers that were far away. It'll probably have the same use in SP in JO, as the disruptor ammo probably will be scarce
I think we know just about everything without playing the game. After you play the game, it's different :)
Wait for the game!
We've seen ONE swamp trooper pic (at least i have), and he wasn't in a swamp. i think it was more of a control room type of thing.
looking ...
damn, not on the LEC site like i thought. oh well...it's on something recent, maybe an interview or something?
I dont think I know ANYTHING about the game which I want to know
What I would really like to is be able to fly different ships and drive vehicles in this game. That would totally Rule.
In the first trailer towards the end Kyle is firing a large gun right before a rocket hits him. This is either a mounted weapon (probably) or a vehicle, because the health meter is completely different.
And I don't remember seeing any models of weapons that look like that.
I want to see some grave tuskens....
I hope they don't show us much more. If they do i'd be certain to look at it ('cause I can't resist). It's like offering a starving man some food; of course he's going to take it, but he really doesn't want it 'cause he wants to starve.
Yeah , It might just be me but is that gun moving along?
And in JK you could ride on those little transporters.. thats kinda a vehicle hehe
Why would a starving man want to starve?!
LOL!! ha! Like saying the Titantic wanted to sink! :D
i dunno about everyone else but ive read and seen everything thats been posted now all we must do is wait and then its playtime

Written by Dylan Callaghan
In his newest, most logo-laden documentary, POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Morgan Spurlock is told by a fancy branding expert that his personal brand is "Mindful/Playful". That's pretty spot-on for the tone of the new film, which is funny and almost breezy, while also starkly showing how not only pervasive product integration has become in film and television, but how terribly good these branders and marketers are at their jobs.
The Mindful/Playful mood is captured in the doc's closing scene: a Spurlock voice-over implores viewers to fight to get away from the ever-invasive reach of corporate shilling as we see him crossing a beautiful creek with his adorable young son. At the last minute, he looks at the camera and plugs the Merrell hiking shoes they're both wearing. It's the irony Spurlock can't get enough of, and it is the central hook of this experiment – Merrell's money funds the very documentary that seeks to sound alarm bells about how overwhelmingly rampant and impactful corporate marketing in original programming has become.
The shoe bit, like the film, is the kind of joke that makes you laugh right before you feel disgusted. As largely unknown as product integration is to the general public, writers of film and TV know it well and that it is at a tipping point of prevalence.
Spurlock spoke to the Writers Guild of America, West Web site from the road, on what will wind up being an almost seven-month promotional tour, all done wearing a suit with the logos of each of the 22 companies who funded the film.
What inspired you to do this film?
The whole film came from an episode of Heroes I saw. I just loved season one of that show. Season two I thought started to lose its compass a little bit and one of the things that happened is there started to be a lot of product placement. In this particular episode, Hayden Panettiere, the cheerleader, is coming out of school, and she's sad and her dad says, "Oh, honey, we wanted to save this but…" and he reaches into his pocket. As he does that it cuts to the front of a car, and as the camera dollies past the Nissan logo, it cuts back to him and he's dangling the keys in front of her face. Rack focus to her face and she says, "Oh my God! The Nissan Rogue! Daddy, I can't believe you're giving me the Nissan Rogue!" I was like, "Wow! I just saw a commercial in the middle of this show just now. That really happened!"
So the next day I was in the office with my producing partner Jerry, and we started talking about it. He was just as blown away by seeing this, and we started talking about other TV shows and movies that had this. We thought, "What if we made a film that kinda ripped open this whole world of product placement and advertising and got brands to pay for it?"
Going all the way back to that Heroes episode, how long has the journey of this documentary been?
Two years. Well, we saw the Heroes bit earlier. It was January '09 when we said, "Let's make this movie."
Even though you're a documentarian, did you ever entertain the idea of doing this as a written feature?
There are a couple companies that do this in Los Angeles that we wanted to follow. There are a couple lawyers that help connect writers with placements and companies that do this from start to finish and no one would let us be a part of that process. It was pretty remarkable how protective they were. They didn't want this to get out – they didn't want people to know about it, and they didn't want to reveal how it went down.
For me what was fascinating was how little people wanted to talk about it.
Did you expect them to readily want to talk about it?
I thought we would get a little more access than we ultimately did. The fact that I had to call 600-plus companies to get the 22 that are ultimately co-promoting the film – and it's amazing we got 22. I thought we'd be able to get a product placement company that would help us. No dice. There wasn't one that wanted anything to do with the movie.
In the film we see how, when you get the contracts from companies that are interested, nearly every one asks for final approval of the film. How tough was it to not allow final approval?
It was months. The average time from when we first got a contract to the time we actually signed one was about three and half to four months. Over that time, there was so much give and take, and at some point you have to make compromises to them, like, "We'll do this interview this way, or when we go to promote the film, we'll refer to the product in this way." A lot of things were original things that we stood strong on. Some companies wanted to recoup their full investment and get a piece of the movie, to which we said absolutely not – nobody got either.
This is perhaps a dumb question, particularly for a guy who's on a publicity tour in a suit covered with brand logos, but did you ever actually get concerned that this movie would wind up just being advertising.
Had we let the brands get any type of stake in the film or how it ended up, then I had big concerns that it would turn into a 90-minute commercial. Since we were able to maintain that control of the spirit of pulling the curtain back on this world, that didn't happen.
What would you like filmmakers and writers to take from this?
From a creative standpoint, what the film shows with regard to writers and Hollywood and TV shows is that, ultimately, we need to kick the brands and the companies out of the writers' room. We need to let creative people be creative and not let marketing executives dictate content. If they want to put money into a show, it's totally fine, but we need to get away from shoving products down our throats within content. The more we can let creative people do their jobs, the better off everyone's going to be.
But having said that, what's your honest feeling about the future with regard to this?
There's going to be more of this before there's less. That's what I believe. There will have to be even more of a deluge before people say this has to change. Writers and creators have to have some type of power and influence, or a least a power of attorney, over their programs and ideas. Ultimately, that's what has to happen.

The snow is finally melting and spring is starting to tease us, being ever so close. Those making the best of the thaw and hoping to add to your weekend excitement, look no further. The Donnie Smith Bike and Car Show offers the perfect escape.
Set inside the St. Paul River Centre, the 27th Annual Donnie Smith Show was booming with attendance. It was good to see a great turnout, as the show-floor had plenty to offer. Also noticeable was the heavy influx of local cycle clubs, along with a good mix of families bringing their youngsters into the fold. Might as well start them early.
Restored classics, projects, and ultra sano show bikes had the crowd applauding with snapshots from their camera phones and voting slips for their favorites. Aftermarket parts vendors, such as Dennis Kirk, reminded shoppers to think ahead to Riding Season. A large swap section of vintage and contemporary bike parts greeted spectators as well as hundreds of bikes sporting mile-deep paint and nifty mods. The whole scene was fueled by a sea of black leather, sexy tattoos and embroidered vests.
Though primarily inspired for more of the 2-wheeling fan, the second floor had some pretty neat classic cars, a first ever for this car show. Sponsored by Route 65 Classics (http://route65classics.com/) of Ham Lake, MN, the Roy Wilkins Auditorium housed a cool collection of rumblers to satisfy that horsepower fix.
If you're a true rider, be it on 2- or 4-wheels, the Donnie Smith Show should be your first destination of 2014.

Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) is issuing $1.5 billion in debt to finance an accelerated share buyback program. The decision comes at a time when Bed Bath & Beyond is trading at depressed valuation levels due to disappointing financial performance, and companies such as Pier 1 Imports (NYSE:PIR) and Lumber Liquidators (NYSE:LL) are confirming that the environment remains notoriously challenging for retailers exposed to the real estate market.
Is Bed Bath & Beyond making a smart decision in terms of capital allocation, or is it a short-term corporate gimmick to inflate the stock price?
Selling bonds and buying stock back
Bed Bath & Beyond is issuing $1.5 billion in long-term debt to finance share repurchases. The bonds will have three different tranches. The first tranche of $300 million matures in 2024 and pays an interest rate of 3.749%. The second one is also for $300 million; it matures in 2034, and pays 4.915%. The third tranche is for $900 million; it matures in 2044, and has been priced to yield an interest rate of 5.165%.
Bed Bath & Beyond has traditionally been very active when it comes to buybacks: The company has returned approximately $6.6 billion to shareholders via repurchases during the period starting in 2004 to the first quarter of 2014. However, Bed Bath & Beyond has always financed these buybacks via internally generated cash flow, so the decision to issue debt and accelerate repurchases is an important change in its capital allocation policy.
Industry headwinds
Bed Bath & Beyond is down by 24% year to date, as the company is reporting disappointing financial performance. Sales during the first quarter of 2014 came in at $2.66 billion, an uninspiring increase of 1.7% versus $2.61 billion in the same quarter of 2013. Comparable-store sales were almost flat, increasing only 0.4% versus the year-ago quarter.
Forward guidance was also uninspiring. Bed Bath & Beyond expects comparable sales to increase between 1% and 3% during the second quarter, and by approximately 3% for the full year.
Many other retailers linked to the housing market are also facing difficulties. Pier 1 announced lower-than-expected sales and earnings for the quarter ended on May 31. Sales came in at $419.1 million versus $394.9 million, which was forecast on average by Wall Street analysts. Earnings per share of $0.16 were also materially below expectations of $0.20 per share.
Alex W. Smith, CEO of Pier 1 Imports, said in the earnings press release that industry conditions remain notoriously challenging: "The retail environment remains highly promotional and is pressuring gross profit in the near-term."
Lumber Liquidators crashed last week, as the flooring specialist announced disappointing financial performance for the second quarter. Lumber Liquidators announced that total sales during the second quarter increased 2.3%, to $263.1 million, while sales at comparable stores fell by a worrisome 7.1% during the period.
Like Pier 1 Imports, Lumber Liquidators is blaming its disappointing performance on a weak environment:
Customer traffic to our stores was significantly weaker than we expected, particularly in geographic areas severely affected by the unusually harsh weather in the first quarter. The improvement in customer demand we experienced beginning in mid-March did not carry into May, and June weakened further. Our reduced customer traffic has coincided with certain weak macroeconomic trends related to residential remodeling, including existing home sales, which have generally been lower in 2014 than the corresponding periods in 2013.
An opportunistic decision
Based on valuation ratios such as price-to-earnings and price-to-free cash flow, Bed Bath & Beyond is trading at historically attractive valuation levels. This means the stock offers substantial upside potential if financial performance improves in the coming quarters.
Judging by recent reports from Pier 1 Imports and Lumber Liquidators, the industry is going through a particularly challenging period. This may be indicating that recent financial weakness is mostly due to temporary and external factors.
It's hard to tell how long it will take for the industry landscape to improve, but Bed Bath & Beyond has a solid balance sheet, and it's still generating healthy cash flow, so liquidity and financial risk are no big reasons for concern. Over the long term, chances are that the stock should trade at considerably higher levels as things turn for the better regarding overall industry demand.
Based on these considerations, it looks like Bed Bath & Beyond is capitalizing on the opportunity to issue debt at historically low interest rates and repurchase its shares at a conveniently attractive valuation.
Foolish takeaway
Issuing debt to repurchase stock usually raises some eyebrows among investors. This is understandable, because companies can abuse this strategy as a method to artificially inflate the stock price. However, Bed Bath & Beyond seems to be doing the right thing by capitalizing on the opportunity to repurchase shares at historically attractive valuation levels. If the recent slowdown in growth is only transitory and due to external conditions, investors should be well served by this decision.
Beyond the smartphone: Apple's next smart device could change your financial future
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Last fall Gail from My Repurposed Life received a wood headboard and footboard from her nephew. It was just recently that one of the pieces made it into Gail's basement workshop for its revamping. I am so excited to show you what Gail did with it because it is just that awesome.
This was really a pretty simple project that required a little painting and then attaching clipboard clips and hooks. Gail added some cute wording that really was the perfect finishing touch. What totally got me though was Gail's suggestion to use it as a school command center for backpacks and paperwork. Talk about a genius way to manage all those papers that go in and out of the house each week!
Head on over to My Repurposed Life for Gail's tutorial.

Colored denim has made its way onto the bodies of celebrities everywhere from neon to pastel brights.
In the beginning, it was kind of hard to fathom that this colorful concotion of denim would last a few weeks let alone a season...but it seems like this trend is here to stay.
Colored denim looks best against white or with other colors to create a colorblocking effect.
Also, colored denim in skinny leg styles and crop styles are hot for spring and summer with a funky wedge or even a flat for more casual feel.
One of the denim brands that has a really beautiful color palette of denim is Paige denim.
The fact that this brand has comfortable stretch fabric and affordable prices makes trying the colored denim trend even more fun.
So, add some color to your wardbrobe--who knows...you might even like it!
Happy Shopping!

|A Day in the Life of a First Sergeant
0805: You arrive at the NCO Club for the weekly first sergeant meeting. As usual, you're a few minutes late due to the morning's events, but then again, so are several other "shirts." For the 90 minutes, you receive briefings from the Command Chief Master Sergeant (Command Sergeant Major), the legal office, personnel office, family advocacy office, etc., ad infidium, about the latest changes to various programs.
0930: You swing by the barracks to let your "dormitory manager" know that you and the commander plan to do an inspection this Friday. You go over the problems found on the last inspection, and request that he take special care to make sure the commander doesn't see these same problems again. While you are there, you take a quick walk-through of the common areas, and talk to the folks who have been detailed for barracks cleanup this week.

1000: Your schedule is open for an hour, so you pick one of the duty sections to "drop by" on. While there, you talk to the supervisors and the troops about this and that, various policies, various programs, ect. While speaking, however, you examine each and every face. You're always on the lookout for potential problems that can be nicked in the bud before they blow up. Finally, before leaving, you speak to the section supervisor about any particular problem areas in the duty section.
1100: Time for lunch at the NCO Club. Not a normal lunch, however. This is the quarterly luncheon for the Airman/Soldier/Sailor of the Quarter program. You sit through the lunch, the speeches, and the announcement of the winners. <Sigh> None of your folks have won this time. But, when they do win, it makes the boring quarterly luncheons all worthwhile.
1230: You attend a family advocacy committee meeting about one of your troops who was involved in a domestic situation the past week. The family advocacy investigation has determined that a "minor" incident did occur. The committee recommends whatever disciplinary action the commander finds appropriate, and attendance at the anger management classes. You approve the recommendations and make a note to talk with the commander about disciplinary action (probably a Letter or Reprimand in this particular case -- more "paperwork." you will have to prepare later).
1330: Back at the office. You try to leave a couple of hours open each afternoon in the office so your clerk can fill it with appointments. Until 1500, you're "booked" with various individuals who want/need to see you. You talk with folks about their dependent care plans, financial management (you even show one two-striper how to balance a checkbook), Professional Military Education, "minor disciplinary problems (i.e. a "chewing out"), weight-control program entries, dependent-support problems, domestic situations, off-duty employment applications, cross-training opportunities, reenlisting......pretty much everything the military has "invented" over the past 200 years.
1500: Commander's Staff Meeting. All Senior NCOs and officers meet to brief the commander on what's going on
|Good Morning, First Sergeant! 1st Sgt. Vincent Crosby (left) performs the jump master preliminary inspection on a fellow U.S. Army paratrooper during a combined airborne operation at Tuzla Air Base, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on May 7, 1998. - Official DOD Photo
in the unit. You impart the applicable information you obtained at the first sergeant's meeting.
1600: Your beeper goes off again. This time it's good news. The folks at personnel have the promotion listing for promotions to E-6. You have seven people on the list. You quickly drive over to personnel to pick up the listing. Upon returning to your office, you examine the list to make sure there aren't anyone there who the commander may want to "redline." You call the various supervisors and tell them to keep the individuals around the duty-section, using one excuse or another.
You reach into the bottom of your desk drawer and take out seven sets of E-6 stripes (you always keep extra stripes there).
1630: You and the commander visit the applicable duty sections and give out the promotions. It's always good when you can end the day on a positive note.
1730: Final daily meeting with the commander. You discuss the day's events and reach a consensus for items requiring additional attention. The commander agrees with your recommendation for a Letter of Reprimand for the domestic case. You make a note to yourself to prepare a letter of reprimand in the morning.
1830: A quick trip to the gym. After all, you don't want to have to put yourself on the weight control program. 30 minutes on the "Stair-Master" then 15 minutes of steam.
1900: Super! It's just 1900 and the day is done! Your spouse is going to be happy that you come home at a "decent" hour, for a change. You get into your car and check out your pocket calendar for tomorrow's schedule. Oh, no! You forgot about the Unit Softball Game, starting right now. You rush to the field and lend your support with the other "fans." 30 minutes after the start of the game, your spouse arrives with a little KFC. As you and your spouse sit there, watching your unit win its way to victory, KFC-juice on your fingers, the world isn't so hectic anymore.
2200: Time for bed. It's been a long, long day (as usual). Hopefully, tomorrow will be shorter. You don't need any sheep to fall deeply into sleep and bring back that image of the deserted island......just you, no phones, no beepers.......
Suddenly, the telephone rings......

Email Coach Salgado at firstname.lastname@example.com
Jim Salgado will be in his seventh season on the Princeton coaching staff in 2016, and his fourth as defensive coordinator. He has already coached a four-time All-Ivy League defensive back and coordinated a defense that helped the Tigers to the program's 10th Ivy League championship.
Salgado, who also coaches the defensive backfield, helped put eight Princeton defensive players on the All-Ivy League team during that 2013 Ivy League title season. Three (Anthony Gaffney, Phillip Bhaya and Matt Arends) were starters in his defensive backfield; the fourth starter in the backfield, John Hill, ranked in the top four in the Ivy League in both interceptions and passes defensed.
Gaffney was on the All-Ivy League team every year of his career, including last season, when he joined starting safety and Poe-Kazmaeir Trophy winner Dorian Williams on the team.Salgado's defense was known for its attacking style, which translated to 23 takeaways during the championship season. Princeton ranked third nationally in sacks (3.7 per game), fourth in first downs allowed and 13th in third-down conversion defense. It was led by Defensive Player of the Year finalist Caraun Reid, a fifth-round pick in the NFL Draft.
Over the last two seasons, Salgado's defense produced both the 2014 Bushnell Cup winner for Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year (Mike Zeuli), as well as nine All-Ivy honorees.
Salgado has been in the Ivy League for seven full seasons, as he first gained experience during the 2009 season when he coached linebackers at Cornell.
During his time at Princeton, Salgado has also gained experience by working three NFL internships. He worked with the Houston Texans (2010), the Cleveland Browns (2011) and the Carolina Panthers (2012).
While coaching at Syracuse, Salgado assisted in the development of NFL players Steve Gregory (San Diego Chargers), Tanard Jackson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Anthony Smith (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Joe Fields (Carolina Panthers). The 2006 team ranked in the top 25 nationally in turnover margin (ninth, 0.92), interceptions (15th, 17) and turnovers gained (22nd, 28). The Orange defense had 48 total interceptions in his four seasons.
Salgado served four NFL Fellowships, spending summers with the Miami Dolphins (1999), San Diego Chargers (2002), Philadelphia Eagles (2003) and St. Louis Rams (2009); he worked with the linebackers during his time with the Rams. He also participated in the NCAA's Advanced Coaching Program and Expert Coaching Program in 2004, as well as the Minority Coaches Forum in 2008.
Salgado joined the Syracuse staff in 2005 after stints as an assistant coach at Northeastern (2000-01 and 2004), Hofstra (1994, 2002-03), Millersville (1997-99) Boston University (1996-97) and Western Connecticut (1994-95). During his time on the sidelines, Salgado mentored corners, linebackers and directed special teams. At Hofstra, he was part of a defensive staff that guided the Atlantic 10-leading pass defense in both 2002 (161.9 ypg.) and 2003 (131.1 ypg.), both of which ranked in the top 20 nationally (13th and ninth, respectively).
A 1993 graduate of Hofstra with a degree in psychology, Salgado was a three-year starter at corner. The Pride advanced to the 1990 NCAA Division III semifinals.
Salgado and his wife, Carolyn, have three children, Jalen, Laila and Lincoln.

Second-year head coach Curtis Johnson reviewed last week's game at Syracuse and looked ahead to Saturday's ballgame at ULM during his weekly press conference.
Sept. 24, 2013
Video Of Tuesday's Press Conference
NEW ORLEANS - Following a morning practice at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Tulane University head football coach Curtis Johnson addressed the media on Tuesday afternoon as part of his weekly press conference in the James W. Wilson, Jr., Center.
Johnson reviewed the team's loss last weekend at Syracuse, and addressed the upcoming game at ULM - a Warhawks team that defeated the Green Wave 63-10 in New Orleans a year ago. While Johnson expects his team to play better this time around, he was quick to say the Tulane club needs to improve and come out ready from the opening kickoff. A complete transcript of Tuesday's presser is below.
Kickoff for the Tulane/ULM contest is slated for Saturday, Sept. 28, at 6 p.m. (CDT) at Malone Stadium in Monroe, La. In addition to the game being broadcast on the flagship radio station for Green Wave football - WMTI 106.1 FM "The Ticket" - the contest will also be broadcast live on ESPN3.
The game at ULM is the last of three straight road games for the Green Wave, who will play host to North Texas for Homecoming 2013 on Oct. 5 in the Superdome. Kickoff for that ballgame is slated for 2:30 p.m.
For tickets to the Tulane/North Texas game, as well as future Green Wave events, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.
TULANE HEAD COACH Curtis Johnson
Opening statement
"It's always tough when you're in a situation where you expect to be better and move your program up to a different level, and you didn't perform well at all. We know we didn't perform. We know we have to get better. Our quarterback got hit too much. We had some mental breakdowns on defense throughout the whole contest. The personal foul penalties at the end of the game were just inexcusable. They got frustrated and so all of a sudden they're going to take it out on the sidelines. I wish they would have that energy when playing within the lines because we would have played a lot better. I'm not sure we would have beat Syracuse anyway because they're good, they were big, then were physical and all the things we talked about all week long. We had to play a lot better and we didn't play well at all."
On the special teams breakdowns on Saturday
"Here's the biggest, glaring issue. The other things happened last year, but our operation was so good with Billy Johnson and Cairo being so quick. All of that was so quick and so fast, they couldn't block it. Now, we've got some other guys in there where snapping isn't as quick, they aren't as perfect, we've got some young kids in playing some positions they haven't played before and they've given up some plays that older kids shouldn't give up. We've done stuff that was correctable and fixable. We can practice that. We'll get better on special teams."
On how much of the special teams' issues can be attributed to deep snapping
"The issue this week was the snapper. The snapper this week, we switched to Marfisi. He hadn't done it in a long time, probably since high school. We put him in last week and he had to get us out of that game a week ago. He played pretty decent. This time, it was a little different looks, some little different things happened that he hasn't seen, so it was a little bit slower. That wasn't the only breakdown. A couple of guys didn't block the proper guys. Before, the operation was so quick and Cairo was so great at getting it off so he would get it off. This week, he couldn't do it."
On the injury to Sam Scofield
"I'm praying for a miracle because Sam has been tremendous. When you go back to last year, he was one play, hurt, one play, hurt, one play, hurt. This year, he's physical. He's hitting, picking balls off. He's leading the team in tackles. He's been magnificent. He went off early in the game. It was probably friend fire. One of the times we did run to the ball, he was tackling a guy and one of our guys hit him. He was out with a concussion. Yesterday, he didn't do anything. Today, he didn't do anything. I don't foresee him right now playing, but he's playing at a tremendously high level. We have to rev up LeBeau. We have to rev up Leonard Davis and some other guys. We'll just have to play with those guys."
On if he ever saw that many special teams issues in one game and if it gave Syracuse a tremendous advantage
"I have seen it happen one other time. It was when my son was playing Pop Warner. Being a positive person, I'd like to look at it like this: everything that could happen happened. Murphy's law happened to us on that day with our special teams. As you know, today we spent a lot more time with special teams. We had a longer period. We had a long walk through with special teams. Hopefully, some of those things will get going. The Kedrick Banks decision was a bad decision. You just have to make better decisions and get away from the ball. He's a freshman and thinks it's high school. It's not high school. Those guys out there, they're on scholarship too and they know what to do. The things we did are definitely correctable. One, you just move away from the ball. The next one, Peter just needs to get it off. It's stuff that we'll get better at. It won't be perfect but we'll get better."
On last year's ULM game and getting a second chance at them this year
"If we would have won this game and been 4-0, I'd say, `Yes, I'm concentrating on ULM.' I am, but my concern is more about this football team. It's more about the protection of Montana. Montana took a beating. My two daughters, one is 31 and the other is 28, they called me Sunday morning. They just got out of church and they were like, `Coach' - they call me Coach sometimes - `is Montana alright?' I was like, `Yes I think he's alright.' And they said, `No, you need to check because he was on his back a lot.' Both of them, they see it. I'm sure ULM sees it. We have to do some things to protect him a lot better. That's my concern. My concern is about the special teams. My concern is how we are going to get the receivers - who are playing well - the ball more. My concern is Orleans Darkwa is playing very well, and so is Rob Kelley, but we're so far down that we can't give them the ball to control the clock and control the game. Those are some of my concerns. ULM has a tremendous team. That quarterback is something else. He can run. He can throw. He can do all of it. He runs the show for them. He is a big concern, but we have to worry about us. This week, hopefully we can get some stuff fixed."
On if he is implementing more spread offense and if that exposes his quarterbacks to more hits
"We changed the protection several times in that game and he just kept going down, down, down. What happens with the spread principles is you have two short corners. Whenever you have two short corners, they can get to the quarterback very quickly. If you bring everybody in and you do that, you have to rely on your receivers to make tremendous plays all the time. I don't know if we are quite that good yet. What we need to do is, and we've been doing it, we need to mix it in and play a close game where we can mix the run, mix the pass and do our different protections to protect him a little better. But as soon as you get behind 14 or 21 points, you become one dimensional and then it's throw, throw, throw with the two short edges and we know the end of that story already. That doesn't bode well for us."
On both Tulane and ULM coming off lopsided losses
"It reminds me of Louisiana Tech. In that game, we had a short week, we adjusted pretty well, we played well and we won the game. Who does the adjusting, makes the proper adjustments and transfers that over to the game, that'll be the team that I think will win this game."
On Tulane's two losses coming after falling behind significantly early and how can the team overcome that
"That was the one thing that we did talk about a lot. We talked about getting it in practice. We switched some of our practice periods where we getting them more hitting and movement early on. We're trying to wake these guys up and getting them playing. But you're right, when you look at every first drive that we've been on - even Louisiana Tech and against Jackson State - it's move the ball, move the ball, move the ball. Then finally we decided, `Okay, we're awake.' We've got to wake up. Part of it is just having a mature attitude that when you got out there, you've got to be ready to play. This week, the first play of the game was a blitz and they got us on that one. We wanted to change the tempo. We did, but they got us. We just have to come out a lot faster, come out like gang busters and play the type of game we can play."
On playing three straight road games and if that has an effect on the players
"Yes, I think somewhat. But here's the bottom line: you've got to play the schedule how it's laid. However it's laid out, you're dealt the hand you've got to play. We kind of embrace that. We played well the first time on the road. We didn't this last time. Hopefully, this time we'll play great on the road and come back with a victory. I kind of like playing on the road. I really do. I'm not worried about kids. I'm not worried about parent coming up too much. It's all us against the world."
On ULM's quarterback throwing six interceptions to date and what has forced the turnovers
"I don't know if we have the advantage, but when (opponents) put pressure on him he's thrown it to the other team. That was one of the things I felt we needed to do to the quarterback last week. We need to get some four-man pressure or five-man pressure and they had it. I've got a little thing going with Monroe. I told him I don't think he can intercept the ball. I think he can only pick up fumbles. I said that because he's (sitting) back there."
On overcoming turnovers against Louisiana Tech and not at Syracuse
"When you say quick change, you want to lean on the older players. When you have a quick change, you want to give it to Darkwa again. He was out. You'd like to give it to Kelley again, and he was out. We've got guys coming in and out. You're turning and you're trying to give it and trying to throw it with a young quarterback. Each experience is a learning experience. When it does happen, you hope that the best player, the older player, the mature player is there to make the next plays for you. That's what helps you out a lot."
On Rob Kelley getting more carries recently
"Both of them (Kelley and Orleans Darkwa) have shoulder injuries. If you asked me today, I would say Kelley would be in and Orleans may be out this week. That's just today. It's early. We have a lot of time. When you play a physical opponent, that is what happens. You get shoulders, stingers and concussions. We've got to match physicality with teams like that. Hopefully in the future we will. I think we will. These young kids will get better and bigger, stronger and faster."
On who is the better deep snapper, Matt Marfisi or Julius Warmsley
"I think both of those guys are doing an adequate job of snapping. Again, it goes back to that they haven't done it enough or they haven't done it very long. I have confidence in both of them. Hopefully, we can get just a little better accuracy, get it back there a little bit quicker and we'll figure it out. Come game time, we'll see who plays."
On if Tulane is better matched talent wise with ULM
"ULM is a good team. We probably thought we were a better match last year with them but they put 60 points on us. It goes back to one thing - it goes back to us making our corrections. We've got to go out, play better and do the best that we can, and hopefully we can come out with a victory."
On if being 2-2 is a good thing for the program or if he wishes the record was better
"The best part about being 2-2 is that last year at this time I was 0-4. It's 2-2. We know we can win some game. We won games before. We won on the road. Some of these barriers that we had before are being broken down. Now, we what we have to do is collectively come together, play this game like gang busters and play all out this week. Hopefully we can come out of that place with another victory. If we play well, we'll be in the game. If we don't, it'll be just like last week."
On if ULM is a much more winnable game than last week's opponent in Syracuse
"Our players thought going into the Syracuse game that we had a good chance of winning. We knew we couldn't make those mistakes, but we thought we could matchup with those guys. ULM gives us a different deal. This quarterback is something else. You like him. I think they were capable a year ago of putting a lot of points on us, which they did when they played at our place. It'll be a tough game for us. We like playing against whoever we play against, but this quarterback does pose a difficult, difficult problem (to solve). They're good on defense, not great, but they're good. They're a lot like Syracuse. I don't know about levels or whatever. When you watch the film, you say `What stands out?' What stands out is their quarterback."
On Tulane's team being older and better than it was a year ago
"Yes, absolutely. What I would say about our team is we have to play older and we have to play better. I thought we played like freshmen this past week. A week ago, our defense played like All-Americans and All-Pro players. We just have to come in and play better."

Leather Original Wallet
- Product Review (submitted on April 9, 2014):
I've gone through many wallets, never being satisfied with the design -- until I bought this one. It's the perfect combination of ease of use, thinness, and -- with the leather exterior -- quality feel.
I've purchased several of these -- the only reason I've had to replace them is because my dog loves to chew them!

The Daily Startup: Avalon, GSK Launch Sitari Pharma With Focus on Celiac Disease
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Avalon Ventures and GlaxoSmithKline PLC have launched and are investing $10 million in Sitari Pharma Inc., the first of up to 10 San Diego startups that may be created through a $495 million company-building alliance they formed early this year. The deal, disclosed in April, gives GSK the option to acquire these startups, including Sitari, once they have generated a clinical drug candidate. The agreement provides GSK access to Avalon's entrepreneurial expertise, while Avalon has the assurance that companies launched through this alliance will be well-funded. Sitari's initial focus is on celiac disease.
Spotify AB has secured nearly $250 million in new financing with Silicon Valley-based Technology Crossover Ventures, leading a funding round that values the company somewhere "north" of $4 billion dollars, according to multiple people familiar with the deal. The latest round of funding comes as the Swedish streaming music provider is looking to fuel its global growth strategy. While already established in many Western markets, including the U.S., Spotify is aiming to launch its service in some of the world's highest-potential destinations for streaming music, including Japan.

Pot and schizophrenia are linked genetically, but a new study released on Tuesday shows a new link between the two items. The results are the opposite of what scientists have already believed about the connection between the two items. Spread It reported on this new study on June 25.
Since the 1960s, scientists have believed that smoking pot had a connection to whether or not a person would develop psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia later during their adult life. That connection may still have validity, but this new study released on Thursday revealed that mental illnesses like schizophrenia might cause a person to take drugs as well. The connection appears to be a two way street. A person may not have the illness at the time, but there are genes connected to these illnesses, and if someone has this gene the connection is there.
Robert Power, from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, had his study appear in the journal of Molecular Psychiatry on Tuesday. The study involved 2,082 subjects. Out of those subjects, 1,011 admitted to smoking pot regularly. Power studied the genes of all the subjects, and he discovered that more of the pot smokers had the genes for schizophrenia inside them.
Robert Power did speak out about the results. He said the following, according to The Spreadit: "The result highlights the complex interactions between genes and environments when it comes to cannabis as a risk factor for schizophrenia. Certain environmental risks, such as cannabis use, may be more likely given an individual's innate behavior and personality, itself influenced by their genetic make-up."
The doctor did make it clear that his study did not make the earlier research connecting pot and schizophrenia invalid. Both theories may be true. This study is making buzz today, and other doctors and scientists are sharing their thoughts on the study out of England.
One of those scientists is out of Harvard University. Eden Evins is a psychiatry professor at the university, and she said the following, according to The Verge: "These findings are very valuable, and suggest that increased genetic risk for schizophrenia increases the chance that someone will use cannabis, and use it heavily. Both [theories on the connection] may be true."
The doctor went on to say that patients that are schizophrenic should be told to stop smoking cannibis. The drug will make their symptoms worse. It is clear that there is still much to learn about the connection between mental illness and use of drugs like marijuana. With the drug now legal in some states, the usage of it is increasing. If it is connected to the development of mental illness, people need to be aware of the connection. This is the only way to prevent problems from developing.
Matthew Hill, a cell biologist at the University of Canada, spoke even further about the connection, and he actually said there is little evidence connecting the two: "The relationship is an ongoing debate in the scientific world — at least what the nature of the association is. There is little evidence that, at a population level, cannabis use during adolescence is a primary contributing factor in the development of psychiatric illness."
The research does seem to show a two way relationship between the two, but it is clear that the connection will need further study.

College Hockey:Gophers Spoil Wildcats' Dream Season
Ross Nets a Quartet of Goals
MINNEAPOLIS — Once Bobbi Ross got started, there wasn't any way to stop her. After being fairly quiet in the goal-scoring department over much of the second half of the season, Ross exploded for four goals to propel Minnesota to a 5-4 win over No. 1 New Hampshire.
The Gophers (29-10-1) advanced to their third straight NCAA championship game, where they will face conference rival and WCHA champion Wisconsin.
"I can't stop smiling," said Minnesota coach Laura Halldorson. "It was very emotional, and I think the bottom line is we found a way to win."
Such are the emotions when you return to the ultimate game with a team few expected to reach such lofty heights.
The Wildcats (33-3-1) lost for the first time in 30 contests. Painfully, this loss came at a point in the season where there are no second chances.
"It was an interesting game," said New Hampshire coach Brian McCloskey. "It was a game of ebb and flow."
Nothing was flowing more smoothly than Ross' scoring touch.
"Bobbi obviously had a tremendous game," said Halldorson.
Ross converted on half of her eight shots on goal, including the game-winner at 18:09 of the third period. She saw Whitney Graft coming down the ice on a two-on-two, she knew she had to isolate one of the defenseman. She received the puck, and thought to shoot to the far side.
UNH goalie Melissa Bourdon got a piece of the puck, but not enough.
The sophomore wing had already completed her hat trick on a game-tying penalty shot in the second period. She claimed her legs were shaking before the attempt, but outwardly, she appeared as calm and steady as she had all night.
Ross chose to go with a move that had been clicking in practice — showing the puck, then pulling it to the backhand and slipping it home. The same move produced Minnesota's second goal and a 2-0 lead at 9:28 of the first period, when Andrea Nichols found her cruising down the slot unguarded.
Before that, Ross provided the defending champs with the start they needed by netting the opening goal of the contest on the team's first shot just 46 seconds into the game. She took a pass from Erika McKenzie and roofed a backhand to beat Melissa Bourdon.
The Wildcats recovered from the early deficit to score three goals unanswered. They gained that momentum with their deadly power play, which converted almost 31 percent of the time on the season and finished 2-of-5 on the night.
Jennifer Hitchcock deflected Martine Garland's point shot over Brittony Chartier at 15:17 of the first period to make it a 2-1 game.
Just over two minutes later, Kacey Bellamy's shot from the point slipped inside the near post while Hitchcock was harassing Chartier at the edge of the crease.
Nicole Goguen's long shot through traffic found its way past everyone and into the net to put UNH up 3-2, their only lead of the game, at 6:15 of the second period.
At that point, McCloskey thought UNH was starting to take control of the game. But two penalties and the penalty shot erased that lead.
Becky Wacker put Minnesota back on top at 4-3 when she backhanded the rebound of a Nichols shot inside the pipe.
"I don't think we got down on ourselves," said Hitchcock. "Our team stayed up the whole game, we were standing up on the bench encouraging the rest of the team."
The New Hampshire sophomore had a big game of her own, finishing with a goal and two assists.
Nicole Hekle tied the game 4-4 on the power play at 12:11 when she redirected a pass from the point behind Chartier. Minnesota took three consecutive penalties after taking the lead, and the third time was the charm for the Wildcats.
As the game clock wound down in regulation, Minnesota's experience of having been in such situations in the past, including last season's championship game, paid dividends. Minnesota won that game in the final minutes as well.
"It's always nice to have experience in battles like that," said Wacker. "A lot of veterans were going around the bench making sure everybody was calm. Even when we scored, we had to stay focused because we knew it would be a battle to the end."
"Bobbi Ross is a sophomore and she had four goals today — good for her," said McCloskey. "She won it all last year. You have to give credit where credit is due."
Ross could easily have had another goal, but she clanked a shot labeled for the twine off of the crossbar in the second period, a sound she said she'd have remembered all year long had her team lost.
"The box score doesn't tell the story of the game," she said of the contributions that weren't as apparent as her own.
Perhaps. In this case, it told a lot of it, and the heroine was named Ross.

The Franz Joseph Strauss, or Munich, International Airport served 29 million passengers in 2005, making it Germany's second-busiest airport. The airport serves the Bayern (Bavaria) region of southeastern Germany, and is a hub for the Lufthansa airline. Like other large international airports, the facility occupies portions of multiple municipalities including Freising, Oberding, Hallbergmoos, and Marzling. During the construction of this airport, the village of Franzheim was demolished, and its 500 residents relocated. The airport lies 31 kilometers, or about 19 miles, to the northeast of Munich. Rather than being an extension of the metropolis, the airport is surrounded by agricultural fields and small towns. The agricultural fields in active use appear in various shades of green, while the exposed soils of fallow fields appear brown to tan. Roadways around the airport appear as thin, intersecting lines. The white concrete airport runways are 4 kilometers, or about 2.5 miles, in length. At bottom center, the magnified shadows of clouds hang over the scene. The airport grew in 2003 with the addition of Terminal 2, designed specifically to accommodate the needs of Lufthansa and its partner airlines. This photograph, taken from the International Space Station, was acquired May 12, 2006 and shows enough detail to distinguish individual airplanes on the terminal apron (inset; white rectangle marks location on main image), and the dark gray-blue rooftop of Terminal 2.

Sponsored by 2013 Social Media 300
One of the most frequently mentioned topics the 2010 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago was social media.
One of the most frequently mentioned topics the 2010 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago was social media. Those words were on the tongues of almost every speaker, from the pre-conference workshops on Tuesday (Ravelry.com, a social site for knitters, drives 6% of traffic to Yarn.com, Steve Elkins, president of Yarn.com's parent WEBS, told Tuesday's Beginning Search Marketing Workshop) to Friday, when the conference concluded with a whole day devoted to understanding social initiatives ("Mingle around online social media to find out where your market is," Michael Jansma, president of online retailer GEMaffair.com, advised attendees).
Anyone attending any of the many sessions that dealt with social media went home with lots of ideas—and with the idea that there is no silver bullet. Each retailer has to harness social media to its own particular circumstances.
A couple of great examples came out of the Facebook session during the post-conference Social Media and E-Retailing workshop. David Pohl, head of e-commerce for Equator Estate Coffees & Teas, focused on small-bore initiatives. He reported that when the company gets small lots of coffee in stock, it sells them on Facebook. Why? It's too much trouble to put small quantities on the web site. And those offerings have the advantage of tying fans closer to the brand. "Treat your fans special," Pohl advised.
Pohl's co-presenter David Saville of Hallmark Cards reported that Hallmark is planning to spread its presence across Facebook. Rather than offering only a few things on Facebook, Hallmark is getting ready to build Facebook stores for the many different brands, such as Disney, that Hallmark licenses for cards. That could result in Hallmark's operating dozens of Facebook presences.
Whatever the approach, social media is early enough in its life and fluid enough to allow online retailers latitude in experimentation. The real challenge is to find the return on such investments. Notwithstanding ForeSee Results' new service (announced at IRCE) to track how consumers use social media and whether it prompts them to buy, many speakers urged e-retailers not to be concerned about return, arguing that social media is still a relatively small investment. "Don't try to calculate ROI on social media programs, just do them," Ken Cassar, vice president of industry insights at Nielsen Online, told Friday's Social Media workshop.
Said GEMaffair's Janmsa: "It's a challenge for us right now to monetize Facebook."
Profitable or not, the consensus among speakers is that successful retailers will be where consumers are—and that's on social sites these days. In fact, Jansma cited research showing that social sites are now the No. 1 use of the Internet—displacing porn for the first time since the rise of the Internet. Having a social presence, said Nielsen's Cassar, "is a minimum customer expectation."

Police chase ends with wreck, arrest
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 8:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 8:27 a.m.
An early morning police chase ended Monday with a flipped car on Blue Clay Road, according to New Hanover County dispatchers.
Wilmington police responded to a domestic situation on North 10th Street early Monday morning. The suspect, Alfonso Bethea, had warrants issued for his arrest.
According to Wilmington police spokeswoman Lucy Crockett, an officer tried to stop Bethea on 23rd Street heading toward Blue Clay Road. Police stopped chasing Bethea because of wet road conditions and he was leaving city limits. Minutes after police stopped pursuing him, Bethea crashed. He flipped his car on Blue Clay Road.
Bethea was arrested at the scene of the crash and taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center for treatment. Crockett did not have details on Bethea's warrants or charges pending from Monday's incident.

A warning is something that makes us aware of possible danger. There are a number of ways of warning someone. Warnings can be weak or strong.
Weak warnings
Weak warnings are similar to advice. We can use a number of phrases:
I wouldn't swim there if I were you.
I don't think you should drink the water here.
I don't think you ought to say no to the job offer. (more formal)
A word of warning, there are snakes on the trails. (Be careful)
Strong warnings
We usually use don't in strong warnings:
Don't cross the road when the pedestrian light is red.
Don't try to open the door when the train is moving.
Whatever you do, don't take a lift from an unofficial taxi driver.
Sometimes we say I warn you or I must warn you:
It's a wonderful restaurant but, I warn you, it isn't cheap.
I must warn you it gets very cold at night in the mountains. Make sure to bring some warm clothes.
Public warning notices
We often use beware of, caution, warning and danger in public warning notices:
Beware of the dog.
Caution: Wet floor.
Warning: this building site is private property.
[near a river where it is dangerous to swim]
Danger: Strong currents.
Warning of immediate danger
When we want to say something to warn someone about an immediate danger, we can use phrases like careful, be careful, watch out, look out, mind:
Be careful! That chair is broken!
Watch out! You're about to hit the car behind you.
Look out! There's a rock falling.
Mind your step! (pay attention to the step)

16 Strong Reactions to the Times Magazine's Teen Chef Cover-Story
"I suggest you get some therapy, deal with those bullying impulses," writes Alma chef Ari Taymor.
The New York Times Magazine made a pretty-much-as-expected splash over the weekend with its story on wunder-chef Flynn McGarry, which took up the cover of its annual food issue. The mag posted a a Q&A; with Carina Chocano, the profile's writer, as well as a Q&A; with the feature's photographers; both of these extra features, along with a video of the young chef, have helped the initial story elicit more plaudits and sniping on Twitter. Some of the strongest feelings were posted online, including reactions from chef Andrew Carmellini and Gillian Jacobs from Community, straight ahead.
Reactions run from pretty rah-rah …

"Night of Dark Shadows," is part of the "Dark Shadows" franchise. To be honest it doesn't stand up against "House of Dark Shadows," but it could have been a lot worse.
The pros of this movie is it is a creepy little movie. A movie filled with ghosts and possession. Quentin Collins and his wife Tracey Collins decide to move to Collinwood, there Quentin is possessed by his ancestor, Charles Collins, who had an affair with Angelique (his brother's wife). Anyway things don't turn out for either of the lovers, so naturally they are angry spirits.
David Selby of course is Quentin, Kate Jackson played his wife, John Karlen is in it but no he isn't Willie, but moves up in the world as Alex Jenkins a novelist friend, as is Nancy Barrett (remember she was Carolyn on the show) is his wife. Carlotta, the deranged housekeeper was played by another Dark Shadows favorite, Grayson Hall. Lara Parker reprises her role as Angelique.
There is no Johnathan Frid, so that means no Barnabas. That can be a little downer, but Selby is good, his character not that much. (In the TV series he is a werewolf, not so much in this movie).
Just the plot seems like it's missing something. I wouldn't say this is a memorable movie and it's pretty standard once again a witch is ruining the love life of one of the Collins boys.
The movie doesn't lack in scenes that disturb, more than once Quentin is going to kill his wife. I think the first time she noticed his changed, she should have left to a different city. His friends, try to intervene, but the dead don't like that. While it does that those scenes, the movie can be a little boring too. The development is missing!
The ending is shocking to a point, but then again you could call it lazy, like they didn't know how they wanted to end it. It makes you want more to the story than you are just given. The movie doesn't compare to the first movie or TV show, but it's its own thing. It could have been any horror movie...
So while it lacks some things, it gets a 3 star movie. An average and weird movie that makes you wish that the other Collins family were there. Sorry Quentin, but you don't just cut it.

Teatro Vallarta Announces Remaining Opera Season
Published Apr 22, 2014, 12:15pm -
Two more screenings from The Met, Live in HD remain in the current season. On Saturday, April 26, The Met will present Mozart's Così fan tutte and on Saturday, May 10, the featured opera will be Rossini's La Cenerentola. Both performances will commence at noon and will feature English subtitles. Vallarta Lifestyles' managing editor, Paco Ojeda, will be on hand to offer free introductory lectures for both operas, beginning at 11:15 am.
This is the second season during which Teatro Vallarta has partnered with Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional along with several other important theaters throughout the country—Auditorio Nacional handles transmission licensing for The Met in Mexico—offering The Met, Live in HD. For those familiar with the broadcasts, The Met, Live in HD offers theatergoers a very comprehensive experience that includes interviews with performers, directors and crew during intermissions, along with behind the scenes views of what it takes to produce such impressive performances. The good news is, little by little, the opera performances have seen an increase in attendance, but mostly among expats.
"Attendance improved during this second season," commented Teatro Vallarta Manager, Salvador Luna. "Regretfully, locals have been slower to show interest in opera than foreigners living in Puerto Vallarta. But we have high hopes that the Met opera transmissions will continue to position themselves as a cultural option for both expats and Mexican nationals during the third season."
The Met has already announced their 2014-15 Live in HD season, which will include favorites, such as Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro and Bizet's Carmen. Contemporary opera masterpieces, such as Adam's The Death of Klinghoffer, will also be featured. Explore the entire 2014-15 season by visiting the Met's website. For ticket information, please visit Teatro Vallarta's website.

A FISHERMAN is bundled up for a day out on Lake Superior at Saxon Harbor Tuesday, as photographed by shore angler Bill Tregembo, of Ironwood.
After more than a week of rain and snow, the sunshine across the Gogebic Range Monday and Tuesday was a welcome relief, although brief.
Although the thermometer dropped to 20 degrees overnight Monday, on Tuesday morning it turned sunny and the temperature had rebounded to 36 by noon.
By 11 a.m ., it had already warmed up to 40 degrees at Saxon Harbor, where there was no wind and clear sailing, allowing a few boats to get out on Lake Superior.
Dark clouds had returned by Tuesday afternoon, however, and the snow that began falling around 1:30 p.m. was melting as it hit the ground
A Canadian high pressure system that settled in the Upper Peninsula caused the bitter cold weather early Tuesday. The 20-degree reading for the 24-hour period to 7 a.m. Tuesday in Ironwood did not break the record low mark of 9 set in 1980, however.
The season's snowfall of 5 inches in Ironwood is just a bit behind the long-term average mark for Oct. 29 of 5.8 inches, although other Gogebic Range communities have received more snow.
Precipitation for the month in Ironwood is far above average at 5.23 inches. The record for October is 7.39 inches set in 2007, according to statistics kept at the NWS office in Marquette.
Freezing rain or snow was possible throughout the western Upper Peninsula for this morning, with a high of 46 later in the day.
It will be mostly treat - rather than trick - for Thursday, on Halloween Day. A return to Indian summer, for at least a day, is forecast, with highs in the low 50s, but rain is likely to dampen the young goblins, with a 60 percent chance.
Saturday will bring a 50 percent chance of a return to snow, with a high of only 36 predicted, but Sunday through next Wednesday will see a warm-up into the mid-40s and no chance of precipitation.
