Ellsbury is officially enrolled as a member of the Colorado River Indian Tribes and is the first Native American of Navajo descent to reach the Major Leagues. As of 2008, he was one of only three active non-Hispanic Native American players in Major League Baseball, with the others being Kyle Lohse of the St. Louis Cardinals and Joba Chamberlain of the New York Yankees. Ellsbury is English and German on his paternal side.
Early Life
Jacoby was born September 11, 1983, in Madras, Oregon, to Jim and Margie Ellsbury, He is the oldest of four children. Growing up playing Little League Baseball he often played on a team with kids up to three years older than him, but was still the fastest, and best player on the team. In high school, Ellsbury lettered in football and baseball for four years and in basketball for three, where he hit .681 and had 82 stolen bases his senior year in baseball, and averaged 15.6 points per game to go along with an average of 3.4 blocks per game in basketball, and finished his football career with 12 interceptions and 5 kickoff returns for touchdowns.
Professional career
Ellsbury began his professional career on July 14, 2005, with the Lowell Spinners in the short season Single-A New York-Penn League. From the start, he showed that his patience and great speed were an asset when he led off the game by walking on a 3–2 pitch, stealing second, continuing to third on a throwing error and then scoring on a wild pitch. On September 7, he tied a Lowell team record with three stolen bases in a game. He finished the season batting .317 with 23 stolen bases in 35 games.
Ellsbury was named Red Sox Minor League Base Stealer of the Month for July, when he went a perfect 9-for-9 in stolen base attempts.
Jacoby Ellsbury began the season as the #6 prospect in the Red Sox organization with the Single-A Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Carolina League. On July 3 he tied a Wilmington franchise record by stealing four bases in a game. After batting .299 with 25 steals in 61 games and being named to the 2006 Carolina League All-Star team, he was promoted to the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs of the Eastern League on July 12.
Soon after his promotion to Portland, he was named Eastern League Player of the Week for the week of August 6–13 for batting .400 along with his first Double-A home run and hitting safely in seven straight games. Jacoby finished the Double-A season in Portland batting .308 with 16 steals in 50 games. He was selected by the Red Sox as their minor league Defensive Player of the Year and Base Runner of the Year and given a roster spot on the Peoria Javelinas of the Arizona Fall League, an off-season developmental league for top prospects. In the AFL, he hit only .276 in 25 games but his defensive skill was enough to earn him a spot in the AFL Rising Stars All-Star game.
Spring training
Ellsbury participated in the Red Sox' 2007 spring training camp in Fort Myers, Florida as a non-roster invitee and was assigned to the minor league camp on March 9.He was rated the #1 prospect in the Red Sox organization, and was rated as the #33 prospect in baseball for 2007 by Baseball America and #43 by Sports Illustrated.
Minor league play
He started the 2007 season as the starting center fielder for the Sea Dogs and was promoted to the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox on May 4, 2007 after batting .452 in 17 games at Portland and being named the Eastern League Player of the Month for April. He was chosen to play in the 2007 All-Star Futures Game as part of the MLB All-Star festivities at AT&T Park in San Francisco. He went 0–4 in the game.
Ellsbury set a new consecutive game hitting streak record for Pawtucket on August 24, 2007, besting the mark that had been held by both Dave Stapleton and Dave Berg at 19 consecutive games. His streak ended at 25 games on August 31 with an 0–4 outing.
Ellsbury finished the Triple-A season with 33 stolen bases, tied for second in the International League with Darnell McDonald of the Rochester Red Wings, and one behind leader Bernie Castro of the Columbus Clippers; although Castro had 34 steals in 118 games, and McDonald 33 steals in 134 games, Ellsbury's 33 steals came in just 87 games.
For the second consecutive season, the Red Sox selected Ellsbury as their minor league Defensive Player of the Year and Baserunner of the Year.
Major league play
With an injury to Coco Crisp, Ellsbury had his contract purchased and received a call-up to the Red Sox on June 30, 2007, where he made his MLB debut in center field and hit ninth against the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park wearing number 46. He got his first major league hit against Robinson Tejeda of the Rangers in the bottom of the third inning of that game. His first career stolen base came off pitcher Brandon McCarthy and catcher Gerald Laird of the Rangers on July 2, and he also impressed in that game when he scored from second base on a wild pitch. Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame member Johnny Pesky described the play as "the greatest single play I've ever seen in all my years in baseball". He was optioned back to Pawtucket on July 5 after appearing in six games for the Red Sox.
On August 17, he was recalled for the second game of a doubleheader where he led off and played center field. He was then optioned back to Pawtucket after the game.
On September 1, when the Major League rosters expanded to 40 players, he was again recalled to the Red Sox and on September 2 he hit his first major league home run off Daniel Cabrera of the Baltimore Orioles in the bottom of the fourth inning, a solo shot which landed in the Red Sox bullpen.
The New York Times described him in a September 2007 article as a "cult hero" who brings "speed, improved defense, and unbridled enthusiasm."
He was named MLB's American League Rookie of the Month for September 2007 and, with fewer than 130 major league at-bats, still qualified as a rookie for the 2008 season.
During the 2007 postseason, with Coco Crisp struggling, Ellsbury got the start in center field for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians, starting every subsequent postseason game. In eleven total postseason games, he hit .360 in 25 at-bats with two stolen bases.
On October 27, with his two doubles off Josh Fogg in top of the third inning of Game 3 of the World Series, he became the first rookie to hit two doubles in the same inning of a World Series game. After hitting another double off Brian Fuentes in the eighth inning, he became the fourth rookie ever to hit three doubles in a World Series game. His four hits, including a single in the first inning, made him only the third rookie to ever accomplish the feat in the World Series, after Freddie Lindstrom in 1924 and Joe Garagiola in 1946. For the World Series, he batted .438 with four doubles and a stolen base.
Heading into the 2008 season, Ellsbury was ranked as the #13 prospect by Baseball America, the #16 prospect by Baseball Prospectus and the #19 prospect by ESPN Scouts Inc. All ranked him as the #2 prospect in the Red Sox organization behind Clay Buchholz.
Ellsbury hit .224, with .291 On-base percentage (OBP), and a .347 Slugging Percentage in sixteen spring training games and started in center field for the 2008 Major League Baseball season opener against the Oakland Athletics on March 25 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. He hit his first home run of the season on April 6 off Roy Halladay of the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre leading off the top of the 3rd inning. He stole his first base of the season on April 12, off Mike Mussina and Jose Molina of the New York Yankees in the bottom of the first inning.
On April 22, Ellsbury had his first career multi-home run game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He hit one solo shot off a Jered Weaver pitch in the first inning, and another off a Darren O'Day pitch in the sixth.
On May 18 against the Milwaukee Brewers at Fenway Park, Ellsbury was caught stealing on a pitch-out in the fourth inning, which ended a streak of 25 consecutive stolen bases to begin his career, two shy of the major league record held by Tim Raines in 1979. On May 30 with three steals against the Baltimore Orioles, he became the first Red Sox player to steal more than two bases in a game since Jerry Remy stole four on June 14; 1980; he then stole another three bases in the next game, and one more in the third game of the series, for a total of seven.
On June 15, Ellsbury stole his 32nd base of the season, breaking the Red Sox rookie record, set 100 years earlier by Amby McConnell.
He finished the season with 50 steals to lead the American League and put him third on the list of Red Sox all-time stolen base leaders for a single season, behind Tommy Harper (54) in 1973 and Tris Speaker (52) in 1912. He has also garnered praise for his defense in the outfield, having played 178 games (1,430 innings) without committing an error in his major league career.
Ellsbury finished third in the AL Rookie of the Year voting, behind Evan Longoria of Tampa Bay and Alexei Ramirez of the Chicago White Sox.
2008 postseason
Ellsbury hit .333, with a .400 OBP and a .567 Slugging Percentage with three stolen bases in the American League Division Series, in which the Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 3–1 in the best-of-five series.
In the second inning of Game 3 of the ALDS, Ellsbury hit the first three-run single in postseason history when Howie Kendrick and Torii Hunter let a pop-up fall to the ground between them. Shortly after, he stole second base.
After going 0–14 in the first three games of the American League Championship Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, Ellsbury was benched in favor of Coco Crisp with only a pinch hitting at-bat in game 4. He did not play in games 5, 6 or 7, as the Sox eventually lost the series 4 games to 3.
On April 12, Ellsbury played his 179th straight regular-season game without an error, breaking Mike Greenwell's Red Sox franchise record for outfielders. and on April 15, with six errorless chances, passed Coco Crisp for most errorless total chances by a center fielder, setting a new Red Sox franchise record of 433.
On April 26, in a game against the New York Yankees, Ellsbury stole home while Andy Pettitte was in his windup. According to the April 26 edition of SportsCenter, Ellsbury's was the first steal of home plate by a Red Sox player with no other runners attempting to steal since Jeff Frye stole home in a game in 1999 and it was the first steal of home plate with no squeeze attempt or other runners attempting to steal (a "pure" steal of home) since Billy Hatcher in 1994. Following his return to the dugout after the steal, Red Sox fans called Ellsbury back for a curtain call for his performance.
On May 20, Ellsbury tied a major league record for outfielders with twelve putouts in a nine-inning game, tying Earl Clark of the Boston Braves who did it against the Cincinnati Reds on May 10, 1929 and Lyman Bostock of the Minnesota Twins who did it against the Red Sox on May 25, 1977.
On May 27, Ellsbury went 0–3 to snap a 22-game hitting streak.
On June 17, Ellsbury's streak of 232 games and 554 chances without an error ended at Fenway when he had a ball hit by Jorge Cantu of the Florida Marlins go off the top of his glove in the top of the first inning. It was the longest errorless streak by an outfielder in Red Sox history.
On August 21, Ellsbury tied Tommy Harper's Red Sox single season record for stolen bases (54), in a game against the New York Yankees, again facing Pettitte. Ellsbury then broke the record with his 55th steal on August 25, against the Chicago White Sox.
Ellsbury led the American League in stolen bases for the second consecutive year in 2009 with 70. He also led the AL in triples with 10.
Ellsbury won Defensive Player of the Year in MLB.com's annual This Year in Baseball Awards 2009.
During the offseason, Ellsbury changed his uniform number (with permission from the Red Sox and MLB) from 46 to 2. The number 2 had belonged to Brad Mills, the Red Sox' former bench coach, who left the organization to become the manager of the Houston Astros. Ellsbury has also worn number 23 in the past, but not in the majors.
With the Red Sox signing free agent center fielder Mike Cameron and not re-signing left fielder Jason Bay, Ellsbury was moved to the starting left field position as from center field. Ellsbury spent a considerable amount of time playing left field during the 2007 playoffs in late innings when players were being substituted, before earning the primary job in center field over Coco Crisp. The move was made as the result of Cameron's experience in center and inexperience in left. Ellsbury tends to play more flexibly and can thus be moved. Manager Terry Francona expressed excitement over the prospect of playing a true center fielder in left field, creating a larger fielding range and more aggressive style.
On April 11, Ellsbury collided with Red Sox third baseman Adrián Beltré, in a game against the Kansas City Royals. The collision resulted in hairline fractures to four of his left ribs. He was put on the 15-day disabled list on April 20. Ellsbury returned to the Red Sox on May 22.
On May 28, Ellsbury returned to the 15-day DL after playing in only three games due to residual soreness in his left ribs from the collision with Beltré. He met with a thoracic specialist, who advised him that his ribs should be further along in the healing process before he would be able to play. On July 26, Ellsbury started his rehab assignment with Single-A Lowell Spinners. He rejoined the Red Sox on August 4th. On August 9, he was the first baserunner since 1998 to steal four bases against the Yankees.
On August 14, Ellsbury was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the third time in 2010 after re-injuring himself in a game against the Texas Rangers. He did not play again in 2010.
On January 18, 2011 Ellsbury avoided arbitration and signed a one-year, $2.4 million dollar contract with the Red Sox. The contract included a $50,000 bonus should he make 600 to 700 plate appearances in the 2011 season.
Personal life
Ellsbury was one of the victims of the $8 billion dollar fraud perpetrated by wealth manager Allen Stanford; although Ellsbury had some assets frozen, it did not cause him any significant hardship, like those suffered by Johnny Damon and Xavier Nady.
In 2010, Ellsbury released a Zinfandel wine called ZinfandEllsbury through Charity Wines with 100% of his proceeds donated across three charities: The Navajo Relief Fund, Project Bread: The Walk for Hunger, and Ellsbury Read Project. The wine launched alongside a charity wine by Boston Red Sox teammate Josh Beckett, called Chardon-K.
Jacoby Ellsbury was raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), but as reported in the Boston Globe in 2008, he and his three brothers stopped attending services when Jacoby was a teenager. He said, "I try not to get Him too involved in baseball. What I wish for is good health."

Liya Kebede interview: The supermodel mom on her charitable new clothing line Lemlem. Babble.com's 5 Minute Time Out.Tammy La Gorce
If you know fashion, you know Liya Kebede: The Ethiopian-born supermodel has peered off the cover of Vogue enough times to be included in a recent Forbes ranking of the world's highest-paid models. But if you know Kebede for her creamy skin and never-ending legs, you may not know that her charms are far more substantial than the average model's bone density. Since 2005, the 31-year-old mother of two has been a World Health Organization Goodwill ambassador for maternal, newborn, and child health – one of the ways she calls attention to the dismal medical conditions pregnant women and new mothers endure in her native country.
She's also the lady behind Lemlem, the cute new clothing line you may have seen in the spring J. Crew catalog. Lemlem is another charitable endeavor, and one that keeps the New Yorker in what she describes as a constant state of chaos. Babble roused her for an early-morning phone chat recently about kids, fashion and the mystery of why nobody makes good clothes for girls ten and up. – Tammy La Gorce
Lemlem's been around for a while, but you've just joined forces with J. Crew. Right?
We've had the line for a year and a half, and we just started this partnership with J. Crew for the Spring 09 season. We showed them the line and they loved it – they're very encouraging and supportive, and the catalog just came out and we're getting great reviews. It's really cool.
It's for kids up to size 6X, and you've just introduced a few Lemlem things for women. How did the line start?
Well, I had gone back home to Ethiopia on a visit about three years ago, and I started looking at the clothes, the traditional clothes and how they've always been made the same way – it's our traditional art. Men weave, and it's a talent that's passed on from father to son.
So the women don't weave? They don't have a hand in making the clothes?
Yes – the women spin the cotton. That's how it's traditionally done. So some of our products are hand-spun, which gives them a soft and very cozy feeling. The texture is incredible. This is my little way of trying to support their creative talent, by bringing them to the Western market where they can showcase their talent. It's also so the Western market can experience something beautiful from a different world. So it sort of helps both worlds.
How does that work? Are part of the proceeds sent back to Ethiopia?
No. I really got inspired seeing Bono do his RED campaign. I like this sort of social entrepreneurship – it's so interesting to be able to employ people so they can be sustainable. The sustainability factor is so important. I love that whole theory of, "Teach a man to fish rather than giving him a fish." This is a different sort of helping that not only helps the weavers but helps the industry in Ethiopia. It sort of gives it credibility. I really want to help make Africa the next place where designers go to make their clothes.
Does that fit in with your World Health Organization ambassadorship? Is Lemlem directly related to helping women and children?
At the end of the day everything is sort of related to poverty. I'm trying to make people independent there so they can support a family.
What's the Lemlem aesthetic? Does it match the J. Crew classic preppy-clean look?
Well, it's very summery and colorful, and J. Crew is known for all those colors as well. The way it fits in is that you can dress up your J. Crew stuff with a piece from Lemlem, a unique piece. You take your regular J. Crew things and you mix it up with a Lemlem skirt and you're good to go.
You have two kids – your son Suhul is eight and daughter Raee is three. Did they inspire Lemlem?
Oh my God, yes. The way this became a children's line is because I enjoy buying for them more than I do for myself! The clothes for them are so much more interesting and fun. My daughter has been part of the team forever. We try things on her. She plays dress-up with us. My mother-in-law actually calls my daughter Lemlem – it means to bloom, or when something is sort of lush and green and fertile, in Ethiopia.
Is clothing design a natural offshoot of modeling?
No – it wasn't something I've always thought about at all. But being in fashion put me in a good position to be able to help the weavers. Things happen for a reason.
Do you now travel to Ethiopia a lot to make sure things are going the way you want them to?
I go back at least once a year, maybe a few times more. It's sort of an organized situation there now. We've already done the difficult work of getting it up and running. Now it's amazing for us to watch the craftsmanship that comes out of there. They've latched onto the idea of exceptional work, and it's really great to see they're getting it. At first it was really funny because when we'd send them designs, we'd be so specific about every inch of the fabric, or how we want the design to be this way or that way. They thought we were loony. They thought we were these crazy people in New York. With this J. Crew launch I think a lot more people will be aware of the line so it will expand – then we'll be able to hire a lot more people and we'll really see the difference.
Is it a struggle to be a mom, a fashion designer, an ambassador, and a supermodel all at once?
You know, not really. I love that I have the chance to do all these different things. I've always been into different things, and the more things you do, the more things come up that you want to do. And see. I handle it very chaotically, though. I handle what needs to be handled at any given moment and then go from there.
Do the kids respond well to the chaos?
My son is eight now, which is insane, so he's used to it. And my daughter is three going on twenty. She loves it.
Do models obsess over changes in their bodies after childbirth more than non-models, do you think?
I don't know; I guess I only know one side of the story. It probably depends on the model. If you're going to go back into modeling you have to get right back into shape, that's for sure. But actually I think the obsession about bodies has kind of reached the limit with everybody. There are a lot of model mommies now. So many babies backstage at shows.
What do you think about how Americans dress their kids? Too grown-up looking? Chic?
I think it depends on the age. Younger kids, under ten, it's all casual. Boys are harder to dress because there are not a lot of options for them. But girls are tricky once they reach the age of ten, because they do wear overly mature clothes sometimes, and it's a bit too much.
"If I ask my son to wear a a button-down shirt, it's like the whole world's collapsing."Why don't more designers do clothes for that age group? Why not Lemlem?
I don't know if it's for us because of the way our clothes are made, the hand-weaving. We can't go in a gazillion different directions. But if you're going to do regular clothes, I don't see why you wouldn't make nice clothes for that age group. I don't know if girls buy the overly mature clothes because they like them and if that's what's driving the market, or if it's that nobody's giving them anything good. They do dress like little adults. I don't know how my daughter will dress when she's that age – I'll see what she comes up with and talk to you then.
Does your son have a personal style?
He's a typical boy – T-shirts and jeans. If I ask him to wear a shirt, like a button-down shirt, it's like the whole world's collapsing.
Is it cool for him to have a supermodel as a mom?
It's not something we talk about a lot. He knows what I do and he thinks it's funny. I don't know how he addresses it at school, but we try to keep it low-key. We don't want it to affect his world.
That sounds like sensible mom-speak. Are you a very hands-on mom?
Yes. I do my Lemlem work from my home office. I like to be here when the kids come home.

Leila Berg
|Leila berg
|12 November 1917
Salford, England, UK
|17 April 2012 (aged 94)
|Author, journalist, political activist
|Years active
|Eleanor Farjeon Award (1973)
Leila Berg (12 November 1917 – 17 April 2012)[1] was a British children's author, known also as a journalist and writer on education and children's rights.
Life and politics[edit]
She was brought up in Salford, Lancashire, in a Jewish doctor's family; she wrote vividly about this part of her life in Flickerbook (1997), describing also later meetings in Cambridge through her older brother, particularly with Margot Heinemann, and J. B. S. Haldane whom she would reference obliquely in the early Chunky books. She associated with Young Communist League members at the time of the Spanish Civil War (in which she lost two lovers) and eventually joined the movement. Her first job as a journalist was with the British communist daily paper The Daily Worker.[2]
"Empowering children"[edit]
Berg was influenced in her thinking by psychologist Susan Isaacs.[3] After working as a journalist in World War II, during which she married and started a family, she began to write children's fiction. She also took an interest in the progressive education advocated by A. S. Neill (Summerhill), Michael Duane (Risinghill) and John Holt ("unschooling").
Berg began writing in a more realistic and gritty style, for younger children, in the 1960s, in the Nippers series of readers. This was an influential move designed to bring children's books closer to ordinary, real, urban life, and away from the Janet and John reader style (and probably the cosiness of Enid Blyton's world, a ubiquitous influence in the period). She became children's editor for the publisher Methuen.[4] As she put it: All my life I have sought to empower children (speech at the University of Essex, at an honorary degree ceremony).[5]
She was awarded the Eleanor Farjeon Award in 1974.[6]
Leila Berg died on 17 April 2012.[7]

Spain raised 5.03 billion euros ($6.6 billion) euros via the sale of medium- and long-term bonds on Thursday, the top end of its target and at lower interest rates, the latest sign of improved investor sentiment regarding the country's ability to manage its finances.
The Treasury sold 2.435 billion euros worth of 10-year bonds at an average yield of 4.957 percent, down from 5.222 percent at the last similar auction on February 21.
It was the first time that the yield on Spanish 10-year bonds have fallen below five percent since November 2010, the economy ministry noted in a statement.
Spain's borrowing costs have fallen since the European Central Bank announced in September its readiness to buy an unlimited sum of bonds to curb borrowing costs for troubled member states that accept strict conditions.
The risk premium -- the extra rate demanded by investors in Spanish 10-year bonds over the rate offered by equivalent German bonds -- stood at 348 basis points, down from 355 basis points when markers closed on Wednesday.
Investor confidence in eurozone nations declined after a general election in Italy last month resulted in political deadlock, with the majority of voters backing anti-austerity platforms of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and comedian Beppe Grillo.
But an agreement reached by European finance ministers on Tuesday to give Ireland and Portugal more time to repay emergency bailout loans has improved sentiment for all heavily indebted nations that use the euro, including Spain.
The Treasury sold 2.026 billion euros in five-year bonds at an average yield of 3.612 percent, down from 4.169 percent during the last comparable auction on February 7.
It also raised 568.9 million euros in three-year bonds at an average yield of 2.68 percent, down from 2.77 percent on January 17.
The Treasury had expected to raise 4.0-5.0 billion euros via the bond auctions, and demand outstripped supply by a ratio of 2.6 to one.
The Treasury has already taken in 35.5 billion euros, or 29.3 percent of the total amount it has planned to raise through medium and long-term bond auctions this year, the economy ministry statement said.

Learn what's happening in your market
June 2016
In the 13-county Twin Cities metro, home sellers continue to see improvement in nearly every metric with higher sales prices and faster sales, according to data from the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®.
Despite these favorable numbers, many homeowners remain on the sidelines, much to the chagrin of buyers who face low inventory in many markets and are competing, often in multiple offers.
Reasons owners are holding off include still being underwater on their current home, or concern about facing the tight buying market once their house sells.
The number of homeowners who currently owe more than their home is worth is shrinking, so it should be less of an obstacle as home prices continue to rise. Many sellers and their REALTORS® have come up with creative solutions to inventory constraints with temporary housing solutions and "reverse contingencies."
Despite tight competition in very popular localities and price points, buyers are still enjoying good conditions. Smarter lending practices, low mortgage rates and job and wage growth are all contributing to strong buyer demand.
Homes priced $500,000 and above have seen a softer market that trends towards favoring buyers. Homes in this segment stay on the market nearly twice as long as lower-priced homes and buyer demand is lower due to the exclusive nature of this segment.
Plus, sellers in this price bracket are facing increasing competition from new construction, with one in four listings over $500,000 being a new build.
Learn more about what to expect when selling an upper-bracket home in Minnesota or western Wisconsin.

Ireland is known for its pubs and city life, the popularity of sporting events and the warm receptions given by the locals to visitors. Places which lie off the beaten path, however, tell another Irish story and County Roscommon is one of those places. Finding a hotel in County Roscommon might be tricky, this is a sparsely populated and rather wild area of the nation. County Roscommon is characterized by the bodies of water that provide what nourishment the land offers. The river Shannon flows through County Roscommon, and there are several lakes along its route on the eastern portion of the county. Many of the people who once lived here left during the waves of Irish emigration, leaving County Roscommon behind for greener pastures overseas.

A United States soldier based in South Korea has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the rape of an 18-year-old Korean teenager.
The sentence, handed down by the Uijeongbu District Court, is among the most lengthy given to a U.S. soldier in South Korea.
The BBC reported that the soldier – a 21-year-old U.S. Army private whose name has not been released – broke into the woman's studio in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province on September 24.
GlobalPost in pictures: North Korea's Mass Games: The Pursuit of Perfection
The man was intoxicated, and threatened the woman with scissors during a sexual attacked that lasted a period of several hours.
The Korea Herald said the court also ordered that the soldier to carry out 80 hours of a sexual violence treatment program.
In handing down the sentence, judge Park In-sik said:
"The cruel and perverse acts that the accused committed for three hours after breaking into the victim's studio apartment was enough to cause her fear and sexual humiliation in the sanctity of her own home. The strict punishment for the accused is appropriate, considering that there was not any agreed upon compensation for the victim."
Following the incident, the U.S. military also apologized and imposed a month-long late-night curfew on its troops.

Reaching the Active Consumer through Experiential Online Media
The one-dimensional, non-interactive methods of television, radio, and print advertisements are prosaic approaches that do not inspire interaction, and thereby engagement, with your brand. This presentation will show how leading brands can connect with consumers online through social media, video, low cost incentive programs and messaging that resonates with their lifestyle.

It's that time of year, again... Shame on you, you seculars! You're the ones who've declared war on Christmas! You're the ones who've ripped the Nativities out of our town squares!
For anyone who's been watching the Fox News coverage since Friday and seen the almost non-stop smear campaign against Obama (it's been part of the larger, right-wing media freakout), it's almost unimaginable what the Fox commentary would sound like if ISIS killed hundreds in America during next year's campaign.
This coffee cup doesn't tell us anything about Jesus, Christmas, Starbucks, or evangelical Christians. But I'm hoping it does teach us something about how quickly imaginary problems can become reasons to stereotype entire people groups.
We all know that cable news it mostly entertainment. You can't take much of it seriously. As a social liberal and a fiscal conservative, I like to hear both points of view and occasionally listen to Bill O'Reilly on Fox News.
In a TMFS sketch, the founder of Cops Are Always Right is thrilled with Sean Hannity comparing BlackLivesMatter to the KKK, Bill O'Reilly comparing them to the Nazis, and the head of the FBI, James Comey saying videos of police violence increase violence.
Mr. O'Reilly, by denying the problem you are denying the reality of millions of Americans and you show yourself as out of touch from your own viewing public. You can't solve a problem if you fail to acknowledge it even exists.
Black Lives Matter is far from a perfect organization, but contrary to what the conservative media would have you believe, the only special treatment BLM is asking for is to not be treated special.
Whether it is Black Lives Matter who demand to be heard or others, Fox News will attempt to shout down the movement to protect their cherished vision of a monochrome America, instead of the messy, rigidly stratified America that so many face.
It's Possible to Care About Cecil the Lion and Other Issues at the Same Time; Bob's Latest Twitter Battle with Dan Bidondi; The Bionic Dan Bidondi Bionic Italian Airlines; and much more.
In light of the upcoming presidential campaign and a potential Republican president, there is a strong need for a consistent strong liberal voice to even the playing field of advocacy journalism, which reports the news from a biased slant.
If Kasich makes it onto the ticket, the election will take place two weeks shy of the 10th anniversary of his guest host interview on "The O'Reilly Factor" in which he did the bidding of an ex U.S. Attorney I criticized in my HarperCollins investigative book "Triple Cross."
Republicans ought to be ashamed for using tragedies to advance their political agenda that can only promote an increase of hate crimes against brown-skinned people.
Given the amount of time Fox News spends peddling claims of Christian persecution, you might expect them to have a better understanding of the subject.
Bill O'Reilly was really steamed. Poooor baby. What got the churlish O'Reilly mad were post-church-shooting statements by South Carolina Rep. Todd Rutherford that Fox News was regularly dispensing the kind of hate speech that led to the church shooting. Rutherford's comments deserved a lot more attention.
Like so many Americans, Fox News has been reeling in the wake of the massacre, except reeling in a different way. While Americans recoiled from the raw hate behind the gun rampage, Fox News wrestled with bouts of pathological denial.
With Matalin interviewing Nader in a surprising love-fest, we air our 200th show. Mary and Ron Reagan ask: a) is Geller a Paul Revere or arsonist hiding behind the 1st Amendment? b) will "ISIS is Here!" become the rallying cry of the Right? Then: Oh God, it's Huckabee!

The Lindsey family: John Lindsey, a veterinarian at Sierra Veterinary Clinic, wanted to be a vet since he was 3 years old. He loves his job.
His wife, Marianne, is going to school part-time to become an elementary school teacher and hopes to work full-time when their children are grown. She is currently employed at a work-experience program through Delta College called Americore Tutoring Children in Reading.
The couple served as foster parents in Arizona for more than four years and have adopted two children.
Billy is 14 and lives in a therapeutic group home in Modesto. Michelle is 11 and attends River Oaks Charter School.
Stephen, 13, attends Morada Middle School.
Ben, 12, and will be going to Elkhorn School in the fall.
Kelli, 10 this month, attends Live Oak School.
The couple met at Carls Jr. on Pacific Avenue in Stockton, where Marianne was the store manager and John was a crew leader. His first words to her were, I cant work on Sundays, Marianne said laughing.
My father kept teasing me. I think he knew before I did that we were a couple. John says I was such a good boss that he married me.
They married in the LDS Oakland Temple in September of 1987.
The family enjoys camping, and loves to take walks with their dogs on Sunday afternoons. They enjoy their children soccer games and swimming, and are excited about their first trip to Great America this summer.
Ancestors of note: John has illegitimate royal blood in him, Marianne said. King Richard I had a mistress who had a son who is a direct ancestor of Johns.
Mariannes grandparents immigrated from Greece.
Best cook: Marianne claims the honor, and said her favorite dish to make is lasagna.
John also enjoys my cherry pie. It was one of the things I cooked when he came for dinner on one of our dates. I think I won him over with my cherry pie.
Pets: Marianne lists the familys menagerie: Two long-haired dachshunds, five cats, two rabbits, two rats, four box turtles, and an assortment of tropical fish. Their 5-acre farm is home to three cattle, a horse, 10 chickens and seven goats.
As you can see, we love animals, Marianne said.
They have begun a business raising South African Boer meat goats and are busy reinforcing their fences to bring home a 200-pound buck named Storm they just purchased.
Best family feature of Lodi: We lived six years in Arizona where there is not a lot of grass, so we really appreciate the green parks and vegetation here. We really love the Micke Grove Zoo and Park complex. We have an annual membership there which is utilized a lot.
Families come in all configurations. To nominate a family, even your own, for our Family Portrait series, call Panorama editor Julia Priest at 369-7035, or e-mail email@example.com.

'Prometheus' Writer Jon Spaihts to Polish 'Dr. Strange' Script
"Dr. Strange" gets a new writer. Jon Spaihts, who co-wrote Ridley Scott's "Prometheus", is hired to complete the first draft written by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer. "Doctor Strange was always my favorite Marvel hero. It's a good day," Spaihts tweeted.
The movie follows an arrogant and selfish surgeon Stephen Strange whose hands were damaged in a car accident. He gets superpower while seeking a conventional healing in Tibet and rises to become a Sorcerer Supreme a.k.a. Marvel Universe's greatest protector against magical peril.
Scott Derrickson ("Sinister", "Deliver Us from Evil") is confirmed to direct the Marvel film. Jared Leto, Tom Hardy, and Benedict Cumberbatch are reportedly in the mix to play the key character, but no official confirmation has been made so far.
Derrickson said of Dr. Strange to Joblo, "I think when you consider the work that I've done it makes sense that he'd be my favorite comic book character, at least in the Marvel universe. Probably the only comic character in that mainstream world that I'm suited to."
He went on, "I feel such an affinity for the character and the story and the ambition of those comics, especially the original Stan Lee and Steve Ditko 'Strange Tales' - I think those are my favorite of all of them. The entire history of the comics is extraordinary."
"I think the nicest surprise for me, the most unexpected surprise, is the positive reaction," the director added. "Both to me getting the film - I guess I expected the detractors, and they just haven't been there, it's all been quite positive. More than that, it's just the general enthusiasm for Doctor Strange."
"I think people who know the comic world and the Marvel universe, they all feel the same way I do, which is, 'This is the Marvel movie we're all ready to see now.' This movie needs to exist. The outpouring of excitement that people have shown is the thing I've been most pleasantly surprised."

Palm Oil Posts Biggest Weekly Gain in 5 Months on China Usage
Palm oil had its biggest weekly advance in almost five months on optimism that rising demand in China may strain global supplies curbed by rain and drought in producing countries.
The February-delivery contract rose 0.5 percent to 3,516 ringgit ($1,118) a metric ton on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange, the highest closing price in more than 28 months. Futures gained 7.4 percent this week, the most since the week ended July 16.
China may import as much as 6.1 million tons of palm oil in the 2010-11 season, from 5.9 million tons the previous year, if the country decides to replenish rapeseed stockpiles, Jennifer Yuan, a researcher at Cofco Ltd., China's largest grains trader, said at the Bali conference today. Indonesia's sales value of palm oil to China doubled to $2 billion in the past five years, while sales to India have jumped to about $5 billion in the same period from $1 billion, Trade Minister Mari Pangestu said today.
"In the coming two months, China may need to speed up soybeans and palm oil imports to build up stock and control domestic prices," Ker Chung Yang, an investment analyst at Phillip Futures Pte., said by phone from Singapore.
Prices of cooking oils will extend a rally as rising global demand exceeds supplies, pushing palm oil to 3,600 ringgit this month, Dorab Mistry, director of Godrej International Ltd., said at the Bali conference.
"The period of greatest tightness will be between February and May 2011 and we need prices to rise now in order to rein in demand and to stimulate plantings," said Mistry, who correctly predicted in March that prices would exceed 3,000 ringgit after June. Godrej is one of India's biggest buyers of cooking oils.
Strongest La Nina
Heavy rains caused by a La Nina weather event -- "one of the strongest in decades," according to Mistry -- have reduced oil-palm yields in Indonesia and Malaysia, the top producers. La Nina has also caused drought that curbed South American planting of soybeans, threatening global edible oil supplies and driving prices higher.
Global palm oil demand is growing 7 percent to 11 percent a year, Bayu Krisnamurthi, Indonesia's deputy farm minister, said yesterday. Global vegetable oil stocks will equal 13.2 percent of demand in the 2010-11 season, a "critically low level," the Food and Agriculture Organization said in a report last month.
Palm oil prices will decline in December before resuming a rally from January to April next year, fuelled by the tight supplies, Thomas Mielke, executive director of Oil World, said at the Bali conference.
'Exceptionally High'
Futures may drop to as low as 2,600 ringgit by June as output recovers and an "exceptionally high" premium over diesel prompts buyers to delay purchases until mid-2011, said LMC International Ltd. Managing Director James Fry.
January-delivery soybean oil gained as much as 0.7 percent to 53.19 cents a pound on the Chicago. Soybeans for delivery in the same month rose as much as 0.5 percent to $12.865 a bushel after dropping as much as 0.5 percent earlier today.
September-delivery palm oil on the Dalian exchange declined 0.2 percent to 9,084 yuan ($1,363) a ton, while soybean oil for delivery in the same month closed 0.3 percent higher at 9,744 yuan a ton. CME Group Inc.'s March palm oil contract fell as much as 1.2 percent to $1,098 a ton.

The Amazing Spider-Man Bowling Set lets young kids bowl with Spider-Man. The set comes with five plastic pins featuring images of Spidey and one yellow plastic bowling ball. There are three notches in the bowling ball instead of holes so that children's fingers don't get stuck. It is still fairly easy for kids to place their fingers in the notches, or they can hold the bowling ball in the palm of their hand. Roll the ball toward the pins and see how many you can knock down.
Fans of Spider-Man will like this new way to play with a favorite superhero. It's also a fun way for young kids to practice their bowling (and gross motor) skills.
The Amazing Spider-Man Bowling Set is for Spider-Man fans ages 2 and up.
The instructions don't tell you how to align the pins. It's standard to set them up three in one row, two in the next row, and one pin in the front.

Police: Pa. cop takes 2nd cop hostage, kills self
Off-duty cop stole ammunition and an unmarked squad and drove to the home of another off-duty officer and took him hostage
Associated Press
JIM THORPE, Pa. — Authorities say an off-duty eastern Pennsylvania deputy sheriff took another off-duty officer hostage at gunpoint, then fatally shot himself.
Police tell WFMZ-TV the 33-year-old Lansford police officer and deputy Carbon County sheriff went to the Lansford police station Friday night. Authorities say he stole ammunition and an unmarked police car and drove to the home of another off-duty officer and took him hostage.
The station reports that the suspect then drove east toward Jim Thorpe and the two men began struggling.
Police tell WFMZ the fight spilled out onto the street, and the suspect then shot himself in the head. He died at a hospital.
Police haven't released any information about the second officer's condition.
State police said Saturday that an investigation is underway. They haven't offered a motive.

The US 101-CA 12 interchange is fairly typical of the CalTrans 'urban' model. Somewhat tight with directional 'fly-over' ramps, but not afraid to use a VERY tight cloverleaf loop or two to make connections if it has to.
Santa Rosa is a somewhat quickly growing medium sized city less than an hour north of the San Francisco 'Bay' area, fully feeling the pressures of being within 'commuter' range that area. CA 12 is a developing local freeway in the Santa Rosa area, extending about 2 km eastward from US 101 (ending at a 'ghost interchange' at Farmers Lane) with a preserved right-of-way to futher extend it out of the urbanized area. Projected the other way, CA 12 downgrades to a surface 'expressway' about 1.5 km west of the edge of the map as it heads off towards the Pacific coast.
I am unaware of the current schedule for completing the proposed eastward extension of the CA 12 freeway.

New London - A new communications manager will start working for the school district Monday, just days after the Board of Education approved a strategic plan that eventually will turn the city into a magnet-school district intended to attract students from throughout the region.
It is one of three positions, at a cost of more than $285,000, approved by the board last month to implement the Strategic Plan of Development, which is designed to create a range of schools focused on arts, math and science and foreign languages.
Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer said interviews are ongoing for the new positions of arts dean and supervisor of professional development and career management. The board also approved an expanded role for the current magnet high school director and a new part-time administrator in that school.
Although school board Chairwoman Margaret Curtin said Friday she believes the district is top-heavy with administrators, she approved the three new positions in May.
The job description for the arts dean, who will be paid an annual salary of $118,397, says the dean will provide leadership in creating, implementing and maintaining a curriculum for visual and performing arts programs for a kindergarten through fifth-grade arts magnet school.
The supervisor of professional development will provide programs and training for educators and administrators and will help recruit teachers, administrators and other staff, Fischer said. The salary is $113,080 a year.
Money for the three new positions comes from a combination of resources, Fischer said, including the state Alliance District grant, operational funds from the 2013-14 school budget and the Science and Technology Magnet High School.
Julianne Hanckel, who was a reporter at The Day until Friday, will start work Monday in the school district as the communications manager. In addition to media relations, her duties will include responding to constituents' questions and concerns, according to Fischer.
Curtin said the communications manager position is a first for the district. The Connecticut Association of Boards of Education does not track such positions, but few districts in the region have had someone in that role.
"We especially need a communications specialist,'' Curtin said. "It's important we have that position so people will know what's going on in our schools and to get more people involved, especially families.''
Hanckel, a 2010 graduate of Howard University, will earn $55,000 a year. She will report to the superintendent.
"She's going to be a terrific asset,'' said Fischer. "She's written extremely well about New London schools. She's invested a lot of energy in understanding the students, the parents and the community."
On Thursday night the school board approved the three-year plan that maps out steps to turn the city school system into a magnet district. "Pathways" to specific fields of study in the sciences, arts and foreign languages eventually would be offered from kindergarten through 12th grade. Students from throughout the region would be eligible to attend the schools.
"We're going into an all new system," Curtin said. "We have to get people in and get them to understand what it's all about.''
Other changes in the district include expanding the duties of Louis Allen, who is director of the Science and Technology Magnet High School. In addition to running STEM, he will be the top magnet school administrator, Fischer said. "He will be coordinating activities and marketing for all the magnet schools in the district," as well as recruiting students for all the schools, Fischer added.
For New London to be eligible for state funding for the new magnet school plan, 25 percent of the students must be from out of district. That number will eventually jump to 30 percent as the program grows, Fischer said. Also, 30 percent of the student body must be white. Those students can come from within city limits or surrounding communities.
The board also approved a new STEM administrator who would assist Allen in running the high school and also teach math and science at the school. The salary for the 10-month position will be determined by the Board of Education and teachers' and administrators' collective bargaining units.

A man accused of deliberately failing to account for $243,000
given to him to invest on international stock markets has
this morning been found guilty.
The Napier District Court jury took around 90 minutes to find
Peter Jonatahn Rens, 73, guilty on 12 counts of theft by a
person in a special relationship.
Over the course of the four day trial, the court heard how he
had taken payments from 12 different people - sums ranging
from $5000 to $105,000 - to invest on their behalf on
international stock markets.
Now, eight years later, none of the investors have received
their money back, nor any supposed profits made, despite
their attempts to do so.
Rens had claimed he had no idea where the money was but that
he had not deliberately failed to account to the group of
Evidence during the trial stated there was a bank account
created in the Caribbean, a company registered in the
Dominican Republic and accountants based in Uruguay for the
investment scheme.
It was part of an overly "intricate" investment structure
that may have been his undoing, his lawyer said.
Rens, originally from South Africa, originally met some of
the investors at the Hawkes Bay Gliding club and in 2004 and
2005 took a series of payments that eventually totalled
He was released on bail for sentencing in February.
