I've been an on again, off again runner for the past ten years. Worked my way up to 20+ miles per week last year and have stuck to it for over 6 months. Two weeks ago, out of nowhere, ankle pain flared up in the middle of a 9 mile run. Pain started on inside of my ankle from ankle bone to heel and got worse as I ran the last few miles. I elevated it when I got home and could barely walk by bedtime. In the past two weeks, I've only attempted running once, managed 1.5 miles and quit. The pain seems to migrate around, sometimes on the inside of my ankle, sometimes on the outside of my ankle, sometimes with swelling. I can pedal a bike pain free and this seems to help get the swelling down and ease the pain (go figure?). Standing, walking, and running send pain up through the bottom of my heel. The area from my ankle bone to heel is tender on the inside and outside of my ankle if I apply pressure. The heel doesn't hurt at all with pressure from my fingers, only when I stand on it. I have almost full range of motion (it's a little tight when I try to turn my foot out.) I saw the doc, got an x-ray, and there was no obvious stress fracture. Other than that the diagnosis was inconclusive. He said to come back in 3 weeks for an MRI if it doesn't get any better! Meanwhile, I'm going crazy. Anybody have any clue what this is? It doesn't seem to be Planter Fasciatis -- the pain is contained to the area directly below my ankle bone (not along the arch or anywhere else in my foot other than the heel) -- it just moves from one side to the other. I haven't done anything new -- same old mix of road and treadmill running, I've been wearing the same shoes for 8-9 weeks with less than 200 miles on them, same weekly mileage, etc.

I had something similar a number of years back. The pain moved around and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I went to a Physical Therapist and it turned out my hips weren't working well. In some when that happens it just causes a chain reaction down the look. Basically everything else has to take up the slack for something above that isn't working right. Depending on your particualr physiology that might cause the weakest link in the chain to yell 'I've had enough!" - and start complaining. In my case, just by getting the hips working correctly the leg/ankle issues just went away. I'm not saying that's your issue per se - but rather there may be something going on away from the ankle that is the root cause of your problem. (Although from what you describe it also sounds like you've got to heal some tendons or something by your ankle.)
I'd get to a good PT - along with making sure your doc says there are not major acute issues. I believe the classic heel stress fracture test is to squeeze the heel - with the fleshy part of the palm at the base of the thumb on one side of the heel and fingers on the other side. Depending on the length you've had the pain a stress fracture may not show up on an x-ray. A stress fracture that has been healing for a while will - but an active/current one - in most cases I believe - will not.
Good luck.

Do a search for Pergneal Tendonitis, might be it.
I'll take my turn here with respect to the chronology of your account, which is fairly complete.
A lot of us do on-off running due to injuries, or because life gets in the way. It's OK to have gaps in our running for any reason, because we can always get back whatever we lose when we're willing to go through the growing pains all over again. The problem with down-time is that rest comes at a price. Our bodies tend to take away what they do not need to match the demands of activity.
There are cross-training and dietary interventions that can limit the atrophy, but it still takes time and effort. After any layoff, it is still wise to scale back on training goals to allow for reconditioning. The general rule of thumb is to allow two months for every month off, to regain lost fitness, even if it is not felt right away, even when the rest is refreshing enough to lure us into a false sense of readiness.
My guess, from your account, is that you increased your demands to the 20+ level when it might have worked better to settle for an earlier goal, at least long enough to work off any losses after the last dip in your schedule. In that case, it would not be unusual to experience your kind of pain after 6 months of an advanced schedule takes its toll.
Your description of pain is good enough to hazard another guess about the cause. The usual approach, even among professionals, is to take pain at its word for pinpointing the location of an injury. This is often a mistake when overworked muscles are involved, since we are "set up" to feel pain remote to the muscles involved. Otherwise, every stride would hurt. When tension or damage builds to a certain point, vague pains start moving around the way you describe, because they are often not caused in any of the apparent locations of the pain. In this case, one or more calf muscles appear to be jacked up enough to refer pain to the general vicinity of the ankle, which is of course operated from those muscles above the ankle, as are the heel, arch, toes, etc.
The mention of peroneal tendinitis might cover some injuries to the lateral lower leg, but does not explain the pain inside the ankle where there is very little tissue involved. Moving pains are a search by the brain to produce an accurate image of an injury based on input from sensory neurons. It's just a guess based on input, and not an accurate self-diagnosis in many cases. Do not be surprised if, when running the symptoms past a professional for differential diagnosis, it "turns out" that they also think it's one thing or another based on such bogus symptoms. It takes more work to tease out the real cause, but you do not have to wait for that.
You have already noted that there is tightness when you turn your foot out. This motion is involved in pronation, and stretches the muscles which supinate and/or invert the foot, essentially returning it from pronation. The more exaggerated this movement becomes, the more likely a repetitive-motion injury will be. Such injuries are most likely to become evident in soft tissue such as muscle, before moving into tendonopathy and fracture. It is common for runners to ignore these early signs, and continue to train beyond the integrity of soft tissue to more serious injuries to tendon, tendon sheath, ligaments, and bone. It is still possible for your injury to be in soft tissue, evidenced by the movement of pain symptoms in a pain-referral pattern. I hope you are acting in time to prevent more serious injury.
Before I proceed, you should read the following report (PDF file, needs Adobe Reader) on ankle and foot pain by two doctors involved in sports medicine and orthopedics at the University of Minnesota: http://www.ithaca.edu/hshp/ess/AT/Articles%20&%20Documents/SMAT%20Journal%20Articles/LE%20Injuries%20Eval/Hyperpronation%20and%20Foot%20Pain.PDF
You can see from the above article that foot pain and the many possible diagnoses appear to be quite complicated, but boil down to two main interactive causes - Structure and Function. No matter what snapshot in time a given diagnosis represents, these two main causes pose a "chicken and egg" question: Does structure influence function or vice-versa? The answer, like the egg, is "both." As many PTs will note, (Jim's experience is an example), The use of the hips can result in damage to the lower extremities (see article, about halfway down). It is also possible the other way around. Issues in the feet can work their way up to the hips, back, and beyond in a vicious cycle.
Hallux Valgus, or bunions, are a very good example. Jim's success with barefoot running goes well with the article's mention of Hallux Valgus being present mostly in shoe-wearing societies. Bunions are also seen in shoeless cultures though, so it invites more scrutiny than the effect of shoes alone. I have often mentioned how important foot structure is to the action of the foot, and eventual effects on the rest of the body. One problem I find with the doctors' article is that there is little mention of this. I consider it to be very important, since there is great variety in foot structure, evidenced by the differing results individuals get with/without various shoes. The structure of your foot is very critical to determining the nature of your injury, your biomechanics, and what you can do to optimize these things.
Not to overshadow the biomechanics above, especially in the hips, another problem associated with modern culture is the effect of just sitting in chairs, car seats, etc., on the shortening of intrapelvic and hip-flexor muscles, which translates into lower leg and back dysfunction, even causing neck and shoulder pain, including headaches (but that's another story). Bottom line, it's a good idea to have a good look at how you are built, and how you use what you have. This is where an expert analysis of your treadmill running, via slo-mo video, can reveal a lot. Many PTs with sports experience can do this. Running stores do it too, but with a motive to match you with a particular shoe type. As Jim says, sometimes you just need to "kick off your high-heeled sneakers" and figure out how your foot moves naturally. The sensitivity in your ankle area is a good indication that your nervous system is in high-alert mode. Whether this is actual injury, biomechanical faults, or simply overworked/unprepared muscles (my choice), you need to find out why.
As you recounted above, MRIs have been taken to look for advanced pathologies with no results, so it's time to do the hard work that MDs often have little time for. Two docs that have grappled with this issue wrote the article above with that in mind. Of the many possible diagnoses based on symptom, function can perform as an effective filter to rule out false positives. This is the realm of the PT, but your role in accurately observing and reporting is just as important. I would start by examining the muscles of your rear calf at various locations and depth to find out why some motions seem tighter than others.
The involvement of the PTT tendon can point to supinator Posterior Tibialis (center rear calf, deep to the Soleus/lower Gastroc), and its associated pain referral pattern around the ankle. It would be strained by countering excess pronation, which could in turn be influenced by foot structure and/or hip function. You may have already found tightness and a resulting pain pattern, but may not find sensitivity in the muscle itself. This does not matter as much as it may seem. Just make an attempt to influence the tone of the muscle with as much deep pressure as necessary to cause it to relax.
Relaxing an overworked muscle can result in temporary relief or remission of symptoms, but by no means is a cure to whatever caused the problem in the first place. Once again, I think you may have bitten off more than you could chew with your schedule, but hyperpronation, foot structure, and hip dysfunction would create the problem anyway at a certain level of training, with no overtraining required. Ruling these factors out is your next step. Good luck, Courtney!

Due to heavy fog, planes arriving in San Diego were forced to land from the west, complicating air traffic for the morning. A group of planes took off to the west, then a group of planes would land from the west, so that hopefully none would meet in the same air space.

I'm back from Florida and i have to admit i was a little down to come home. This summer girl was in Florida weather heaven.
I came home to cold, windy, and wet weather. I wanted to grab my kids run back to the airport while yelling we'll see you on Shabbos to my husband, trust me i was tempted.
Luckily home is full of warm things i do love. I missed my bed , even with that one darn spring that keeps popping up.
I love the little faces that live in this home. It doesn't mater if it is rain or shine when you have two little lights running around spreading their little rays wherever they go.
While i laid awake in the night feeling that strange this is not my bed kind of feeling, i realized that i want my home to be where my kids are where my family is, and for now that is in Baltimore.
With its cold weather and warm friends. With its leaves that pile up quicker than you can blow them away.
With its cloudy gloomy days, and its sunny days that make the orange, yellow, and red trees flare up like a fire against the blue sky.
This is my home.
I want to thank North Miami Beach N'shei for hosting me and putting on such a wonderful event. Your community is a such a warm friendly place it made coming home hard.

About a half-hour after Donald Fehr said the NHL labor war was almost over, it seemed to get bloodier Thursday night.
While the executive director of the NHL Players' Association was painting a rosy picture during a news conference in New York and saying the sides had "a complete agreement on dollars," the NHLPA was receiving a voice mail from the league, telling it that the union's proposal was rejected.
The lockout lives. The NHL season stays dark. Fact is, the season might be headed toward its death if you listen to commissioner Gary Bettman. Speaking in a controlled but irate tone, Bettman said all of the NHL's "make whole" proposal of $300 million -- the money would go toward guaranteeing players' contracts -- has come "off the table."
He added that owners who attended some meetings this week told him "the process is over." Bettman spoke after the NHL rejected a proposal from the players' union.
"It comes as a disappointment, obviously," Fehr said during the 82nd night of the lockout. "The next move is to talk to the membership and figure out what we do from there."
Bettman said he was "disappointed beyond belief" and that "we'll take a deep breath and try to regroup."
Thursday's meeting lasted about an hour, and it included 16 players, Fehr and his brother, Steve, who's special counsel to the NHLPA; NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly; and NHL attorney Bob Batterman.
College football
Barry Alvarez -- Wisconsin's former coach-turned athletic director -- is returning to the sidelines in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 against Stanford after Bret Bielema bolted for Arkansas this week. But this is a one-night-only gig. Alvarez is already looking for a replacement for Bielema.
But it won't be Paul Chryst. The first-year Pitt coach and former Badgers offensive coordinator was considered the favorite to replace Bielema. Alvarez pulled some strings to help get Chryst the Panthers job and said it wouldn't be "appropriate" for him to hire Chryst back such a short time later. Chryst also says he is committed to Pitt.
Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel became the first freshman to win the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award. Other winners included USC's Marqise Lee (Biletnikoff/wide receiver), Wisconsin's Montee Ball (Doak Walker/running back), Mississippi State's Johnthan Banks (Jim Thorpe/defensive back), Texas A&M offensive lineman Luke Joeckel (Outland/interior lineman), Tulane's Cairo Santos (Lou Groza/kicker), Louisiana Tech's Ryan Allen (Ray Guy/punter).
John Senden shot a 6-under 66 in calm morning conditions to take a two-stroke lead in the Australian Open in Sydney. Tom Watson, who won this event in 1984, had a 78 in windy afternoon conditions, and 14-year-old Guan Tianling opened with an 82. Also, officials are investigating a fight between caddies Grant Buchanan and Matt Keely near the practice chipping area. Buchanan is James Nitties' caddie, and Kelly works for Marc Leishman.
Tony Stewart passed up a chance to race for Roger Penske in the Indianapolis 500. The three-time NASCAR champion said he wouldn't attempt to race in both the Indy 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. "We just don't have the time to do it proper," said Stewart, who has raced five times in the Indy 500. But Brad Keselowski, the Sprint Cup champion for Penske, said he'd like to try the double.

Please read General Hunting Regulations first.
Maps Showing Season Dates
Hunting Hours
Big game hunting hours are sunrise to sunset. Sunday hunting is allowed in all areas of New York. For hunting in state parks, confirm regulations with the park before hunting.
Legally Antlered Deer
A legally antlered deer must have at least one antler that is three inches or longer. Special regulations apply in the Antler Restriction areas. See Antler Restrictions for details.
Defining "Early" And "Late" Seasons For Deer And Bear
When you see the term "early" muzzleloader or bowhunting season, it means before the regular season for that particular zone. "Late" means after the regular season for that zone.
Manner Of Taking
You may use decoys, calls and attractant scents to hunt big game. It is unlawful to:
- Take big game while the deer or bear is in water
- Possess a firearm of any description or a crossbow when bowhunting or accompanying a person bowhunting during special bowhunting seasons
- Make, set or use salt licks or other attractants, whether block, liquid or powder that contain ANY amount of salt, upon lands inhabited by deer or bear at any time of year
It is unlawful to hunt big game with:
- Dogs or aircraft of any kind
- The aid of a pre-established bait pile.
Deer hunting from October through December is bowhunting only. All hunting on state land requires a DEC permit. During the January firearms season, shotgun and muzzleloading firearms are the only legal hunting implements, and a special permit is required. For exact dates and permit information, send a self-addressed envelope to Deer Info, NYS DEC, SUNY, 50 Circle Rd. , Stony Brook, NY 11790-3409 or visit our website,
Prohibited Sale Of Deer Or Bear Meat
It is unlawful to sell deer or bear flesh. Other than flesh, the parts from legally taken and reported bear may be sold only if tagged prior to sale. A tag shall be provided by the hunter or the buyer and include the hunter's license number, date of birth, signature, printed name and the town and county location of kill.
Tagging, Transporting And Reporting
Deer and bear are in legal possession only when tagged with the appropriate portion of the big game license, deer management permit or other license provided for that purpose.
Here's what you must do immediately upon killing a deer or bear:
- Fill in ALL information on the CORRECT carcass tag with ink that won't erase.
- On the reverse side of the tag, cut or mark both the month and the date of kill in the margin of the tag. Also, add your SIGNATURE.
- Once filled in, the tag may not be altered.
- Find the CORRECT Doc # on the Report Panel and add the date of kill. Save this panel as you will need it later when you report your harvest.
- You do not need to attach the tag to your harvest while it is being dragged or physically carried from the place of kill to a camp or point where transportation is available.
- Once you get to the camp or vehicle, attach the tag to the carcass immediately.
- Keep the tag attached to the carcass until it is cut up and prepared for consumption.
- Remember to REPORT your harvest.
After you have used your last deer tag, you may help others hunt deer. You may not carry a firearm, crossbow or bow, and you must have your hunting license.
Deer and bear may be transported either inside or outside the vehicle.
- A deer carcass with head and deer carcass tag attached may be transported with the taker in attendance.
- If someone other than the taker is transporting the deer or bear, taker must attach an additional tag to the carcass which must include the names and addresses of both the taker and the transporter. The tag may be handwritten in ink or typed on any paper.
- All portions of deer or bear meat being transported by the taker shall be individually tagged and the tags shall include the name, address, big game DOC #, the date that the portions were cut, and the signature of the taker. Packaged or boxed portions of venison need only one tag and must be labeled "venison" on the outside of the box. If someone other than the taker is transporting the portions, an additional tag signed by the taker with the names and addresses of the consignee and taker is required for each portion.
- Non-resident hunters: If your home state prohibits the importation of whole deer carcasses from New York, you will need to follow the above guidelines for transportation of individual or packaged portions of deer meat while in New York State.
- A deer carcass minus the head may be transported as above, but evidence of the sex of the deer must be intact. The deer carcass tag must be affixed to the carcass, and a tag supplied by the taker must also be attached showing the name and address of the taxidermist where the head was sent.
- Heads of male deer may be transported to a taxidermist only if a tag supplied by the taker is attached bearing the taker's signature, address, big game DOC #, number of points on each antler and the name and address of the taxidermist.
- The head of a doe with antlers that are 3 inches or more can be removed for mounting. Follow the same procedure that you would use for a buck you are having mounted (see above).
- Deer may only be taken as shown on the map in Deer Seasons.
- Bear may only be taken as shown on the map in Bear Hunting .
All Areas
All hunters participating in the muzzleloading season must follow these requirements in addition to the other regulations in this guide.
- Each resident hunter must have purchased a current-year muzzleloading privilege with his/her big game license.
- Each nonresident hunter must have a current-year Muzzleloading License.
- Hunters shall not have in their possession, or be accompanied by a person who has in his or her possession, a bow or firearm other than the legal muzzleloading firearm or crossbow. They may be accompanied by a person carrying a crossbow.
Bowhunting opportunities include both the regular and bowhunting seasons. Residents may use a bow to take legally antlered deer and bear during the regular season provided the taker possesses both a valid big game license and either a current bowhunting privilege or a valid bowhunter education certificate. Residents may take deer of either sex during the bowhunting season provided the taker possesses a big game license and bowhunting privilege, or a Junior Bowhunting License. Nonresidents should refer to Deer Hunting Privileges and Tags for information on hunting with a bow during regular and bowhunting seasons.
A bow may also be used to fill a deer management permit during any season in which bows may be used. In WMUs 4J and 8C only, bows may be used to take deer (either sex) during the regular and bowhunting seasons. Suffolk (WMU 1C) and Westchester counties (WMU 3S) have separate regular seasons restricted to bows for taking deer (either sex).
Barbed Broadheads
Barbed broadheads are illegal for hunting big game. A barbed broadhead is one in which the angle formed between the trailing or rear edge of any blade and the shaft is less than 90 degrees. Broadheads with mechanical blades are legal if the blades DO NOT form a barb or hook when the arrow is pulled from the flesh of a deer or bear. (See graphic below).

A Newport Township man accused of murdering his neighbor nearly five years ago pleaded Friday in Washington County Common Pleas Court, but not to murder.
Mark F. Stevens, 48, of 2385 Bells Run Road, Newport Township, was charged in August with the 2008 shooting death of 42-year-old Patrick Arnold, his Bells Runneighbor. The felony charge carried a penalty of 15 years to life in prison.
Friday that charge was amended to negligent homicide, a first degree misdemeanor charge to which Stevens pleaded no contest.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
The charge carries a maximum of 180 days in jail.
Washington County Prosecutor Jim Schneider painted the most detailed picture to date on how investigators believe the crime occurred.
"The defendant, who lived across the road at the time, was at the victim's house when (Arnold) came home from work. The defendant acknowledged being there and saying there was a struggle when Patrick Arnold produced the gun," he said.
Fact Box
At a glance
Mark F. Stevens, 48, of 2385 Bells Run Road was charged with the 2008 murder of his neighbor, 42-year-old Patrick Arnold.
He is also charged with tampering with evidence for disposing of the murder weapon, a shotgun that was never found.
Stevens was arrested Aug. 1, after confessing the crime to a wired confidential informant.
Stevens' attorney, Washington County Public Defender Ray Smith, argued that the confession was not voluntary because the informant offered to involve Stevens in an illegal money making scheme and repeatedly provided beer to Stevens, a known alcoholic.
Testimony in a motion to suppress the conversations lasted more than five hours Monday and was scheduled to continue next week in Washington County Common Pleas Court.
Stevens pleaded no contest Friday to an amended charge of negligent homicide, a first-degree misdemeanor, and pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony.
Stevens is scheduled to be sentenced July 22 and faces a maximum three-and-a-half years on the charges.
Source: Times research.
The gun went off, hitting Arnold in the chest and causing his death, said Schneider.
He said Stevens' neighbors would often find him on their property and Arnold had asked him to leave on previous occasions.
Stevens also pleaded guilty to a third-degree felony charge of tampering with evidence for disposing of the murder weapon, a shotgun belonging to the victim.
The charge carries a maximum three-year prison sentence.
In exchange for the pleas, that state agreed to recommend a three-year prison sentence and will not further prosecute Stevens on any events surrounding Arnold's death up to this point, said Schneider.
"I'm satisfied with the result," said Schneider following the sentencing. "We felt that had we had a trial, the jury might have ended up with that same conclusion that we came to today, or worse, find him not guilty."
Washington County Sheriff's Office Detective Lt. Jeffrey P. Seevers, who investigated the case, said when contacted after the plea hearing that he could understand that some would be disappointed with what could be considered a light sentence.
"If that was my brother or my son it would be hard (to accept)," he said. "But the law is what it is and that's what the sentence is for what he pled to."
Seevers said he didn't feel that the case wasn't strong enough for a murder conviction but felt that the evidence ultimately "supported what he pled to."
When Stevens was originally charged with murder, not all the evidence available currently was in place, he said, and investigators weren't sure if the killing was intentional.
Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks also said he is satisfied with the conclusion and believes the guilty party was found.
"I think this is the result of a lot of hard work by two excellent investigators," said Mincks, whose office spent more than four years investigating Arnold's death.
But some people still believe Stevens is not guilty, including his attorney, Washington County Public Defender Ray Smith.
"I'm absolutely not satisfied. Mark doesn't like it, but he'd rather this than spend the rest of his life in prison," said Smith, citing the possible sentence if Stevens had been found guilty of the murder charge at trial.
The real killer is still out there, said Smith.
"I just hope he's brought to justice," he added.
Additionally, some members of Arnold's family are still not convinced of Stevens' guilt, said Schneider.
"For them, the case isn't closed," he said.
Because of the plea, testimony will no longer continue in what was an ongoing hearing on whether or not to suppress Stevens' recorded confession to the crime.
The defense had argued during hearings last Monday that the confession was not voluntary because Stevens was plied with beer and the prospect of making money. The hearing was scheduled to continue Monday, but was canceled in light of the plea.
Smith said he and his client chose to plead now because they believed the plea agreement would be withdrawn if they waited to see the conclusion of the suppression hearings.
"He made the offer and we felt it was the best avenue to pursue in this case," he said.
Stevens is scheduled to be sentenced July 22 at 11 a.m. in Washington County Common Pleas Court.

A downed power line knocked out power to the Mt. Ashland Ski Area Monday morning, forcing the ski area to close for the day.
A fallen tree on Old Highway 99 caused the outage at 8:22 a.m., according to Pacific Power spokeswoman Jan Mitchell.
Mitchell said the outage originally affected about 300 Pacific Power customers, but the number had been reduced to 200 customers by 9:40 a.m.
Crews expected power to remain out for at least six hours after locating the down line, according to a posting on the Mt. Ashland website.
Callahan's Mountain Lodge had about 300 people visiting the lodge Monday morning, and was operating with a few lights, candles and gas appliances in the kitchen, owner Donna Bergquist said.
A Pacific Power crew initially estimated the power would return at 11:30a.m., but the estimate was later changed to 2:30 p.m., according to Bergquist.
Mt. Ashland is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but is scheduled to reopen at 9 a.m. Thursday, according to its website.

News 12 11 o'clock / Friday, Feb. 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Months after being released on bond, an accused murderer's case returned to court on Friday.
Charles Gorrell, 83, pleaded not guilty to killing his wife's nephew, Tim Grooms, in a hospital room at University Hospital.
As you can imagine, the family is not happy about this. The victim's brother says only one thing will make him feel better.
"Regardless of his age, he needs to be held accountable for murder," said Terry Grooms, the victim's brother.
He says the man accused of killing his brother should be in jail, but at least he feels like Friday was a baby step toward justice.
"We are pleased that he was arraigned and we are pleased that he was indicted a few weeks ago," Grooms said.
Deputies say Gorrell is the man who walked into the hospital room back in October and pulled the trigger.
The 83-year-old didn't make into the courtroom Friday morning and waited outside. His attorney, William Sussman, wouldn't directly comment on Gorrell's current health.
"Again, that's another issue we are going to have to address at another point," Sussman said.
Regardless, Grooms isn't buying the defense's argument.
"He was released on unsecured bond to his family because he was supposedly gravely ill, but obviously, four months later, he's still kicking, he's not gravely ill," Grooms said.
The Grooms family says Gorrell is getting special treatment due to this age, but Sussman disagrees.
"Well, every case is different. Every case has to be addressed differently depending on the facts, so we'll have to see how this unfolds," Sussman said.
Grooms says he and his family only want justice and don't understand why Gorrell is still free.
"Shot a man, killed him, and he's still living, essentially the same life he was living, before this ever happened. The fact is that my brother is dead," he said. "He murdered my brother and confessed to it."
Both the Grooms family and Gorrell's attorney said they don't see and end to this anytime soon.

Nestled low on the Oak Grove Cemetery hillside is the final resting place of Eliza Putnam.
That is, it would be the final resting place if Putnam were not so eternally restless, according to local tales.
A vocal abolitionist, who married into the well-known Marietta Putnam family in 1844, Putnam's haunting of her beloved home, The Anchorage, is one of the most well-known legends in Marietta's vast paranormal folklore, said Lynne Sturtevant, local history buff, author and Hidden Marietta tour guide.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Local history buff, author and tour guide Lynne Sturtevant tells the story of discontented Marietta socialite Eliza Putnam Thursday. Putnam, who was first buried in Harmar Cemetery upon her death in 1862, was disinterred in 1904 and moved to Oak Grove Cemetery with many of her family members. Local folklore has long said that Putnam haunts her beloved Harmar home, The Anchorage.
"She is like the most famous ghost in town," said Sturtevant.
Harmar residents have long reported seeing apparitions of Eliza staring out the tower or large glass windows of The Anchorage. When the home was bought by a nursing home in the 1960s, tales of Eliza's haunting became abundant. Many of the nurses who worked in or made trips to The Anchorage at that time have told Sturtevant they would be too afraid to return.
"There are plenty of women around here who worked up there when they were really young and they've all seen stuff," said Sturtevant who has heard many tales from people who claim to have encountered the discontented spirit of Eliza Putnam.
Article Map
On the surface, it is hard to see what reason Putnam would have had to be so discontent. Born in 1809 into the prominent and wealthy Whipple family of Zanesville, Putnam's social status and wealth only increased when she became the second wife of Douglas Putnam. Douglas was the richest man in town, and he was well ensconced in the upper-echelons of Marietta society, said Sturtevant.
He was also the great grandson of American Revolution hero General Israel Putnam. Israel is thought to have famously handed down the order-"Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" -at The Battle of Bunker Hill, said Scott Britton, local historian and executive director of The Castle.
Though Eliza and Douglas were polar opposites, they seemed to have a happy marriage. Quiet and conservative, Douglas was quick to please his outspoken wife in any way possible.
Fact Box
At a glance
Eliza Whipple Putnam
1809 - 1862.
Married wealthy Marietta businessman, Douglas Putnam, in 1844.
Eliza, the Whipple family, and her brother-in-law David Putnam, were all vocal abolitionists and were known to be involved in the Underground Railroad.
Construction began on Eliza's dream home, now famously known as The Anchorage, in 1854 and finished in 1859.
Eliza got to enjoy her home, then called Putnam Villa, for less than three years before dying of heart disease.
ales and sightings of Eliza's ghost at the home have spread through Marietta for decades, making her one of the most popular stories of paranormal folklore in the area.
"Eliza was kind of in charge anyway. She was a really dominant character," explained Sturtevant.
Therefore, when Eliza fell in love with a friend's lavish, Tuscan-style villa in New Jersey, Douglas quickly agreed to build her an even grander version in Marietta. Douglas hired local architectural superstar John Slocum, who also designed The Castle and The Unitarian Church, and construction began on The Putnam Villa in 1854, said Sturtevant.
"She wanted to have all these big, swishy parties and balls, and all these big, society functions," said Sturtevant.
However, by the time Eliza's dream home was completed in 1859, her health was already declining. The parties she did throw were small, unassuming events. And less than three years after moving in, Eliza died of heart disease in her second-story bedroom.
Douglas soon remarried, and his new wife, Sara, quickly became the blossoming socialite and hostess that Eliza had dreamed of being. To add insult to injury, Sara hated Eliza's cherished home, and immediately sold it upon Douglas' death in 1894, said Sturtevant.
The home passed through the hands of many prominent Marietta families before being bought out by a nursing home in the 1960s. Then called The Christian Anchorage Nursing and Rest Home, the home began deteriorating at an alarming rate. By the time the Washington County Historical Society acquired the home in 1996, the vast, 22-room mansion was in need of millions of dollars in repairs.
On top of watching a century and a half of occupants enjoy and ruin her home, Eliza could not even find peace in her initial resting place.
First buried in Harmar Cemetery, the oldest settler's cemetery in town, Eliza and many of the Putnams were disinterred in 1904 due to constant flooding and upheaval in the cemetery. It was then that Eliza finally came to be buried at her current location in Oak Grove Cemetery.
As the WCHS slowly trudge through restorations on the home, they occasionally open the home up to ghost hunting groups.
Tonight the Mid-Ohio Valley Ghost Hunters are hosting a ghost hunt from 8 to 11 p.m. The group's co-founder, Tom Moore, will start by giving participants a quick tour and overview of the home's history.
Moore's group has been hosting ghost hunts every Friday night in October for the last four years, and attendees have experienced all sorts of paranormal activity, he said.
"This past weekend we had a group of people in the attic and a music box started playing by itself. Then the group distinctly heard a woman's voice go 'shhh'," he recalled.
Attendees for tonight's hunt should bring a flashlight to explore the dark, spacious manor. They can also bring cameras, recorders, or any other equipment that does not require an outlet, said Moore.
The cost is $15 and the proceeds go to the Anchorage's restoration costs.
Mid-Ohio Valley Ghost Hunters will also host an event at The Anchorage Halloween night. It begins with an child friendly haunted house at 6:30 p.m. and continues with a ghost hunt at 10 p.m. The cost for that event is $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under, said Moore.
For more information on Mid-Ohio Valley Ghost Hunter events, contact Moore at 304-834-4726 or Valerie Wright at 681-229-6105.

Mountain State Fair is a 'window into agriculture'
NC Mountain State Fair is a 'window into agriculture'
Published: Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 1:14 p.m.
This week, the N.C. Mountain State Fair is rolling into Fletcher for its 20th year. The 87 acres at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center will be filled with laughing children, smiling adults, games, rides, sea lions and all the food imaginable.
The fair opens Friday and runs through Sept. 15.
With 30 carnival rides, 30 children's rides and 50 carnival games, the fair attracts an average of more than 180,000 visitors each year.
Even more important, marketing specialist Ron Stamey said, the fair will be a window into agriculture in Western North Carolina.
That culture will shine through the entertainment portion of the fair. There will be heritage crafters and some bluegrass music. The bluegrass will be mixed with other musical genres.
"You've got everything from rock to Latino music this year," Stamey said.
The entertainment won't stop with the variety of tunes, however.
This year, fair organizers have added two new events to the lineup. Popular attractions such as the "Mooternity Ward" and "Chef Landry's Comedy Show" will return, but this year, fair-goers will get to experience "Sea Lion Splash" and "Kachunga and the Alligator Show."
The sea lions will balance balls, shoot hoops, dance and perform other antics to wow the crowds. It's the only show in the United States that features both California sea lions and South American sea lions.
In the other new show, Kachunga, a Florida bushman, will wrestle a 300-pound alligator for the nervous crowds.
Another new event this year will be Timber Sports. Last year, one college team demonstrated timber sports. This year, four schools will compete for a title. Teams from Haywood Community College, Warren Wilson College, the University of Tennessee and N.C. State University will compete for the N.C. Mountain State Fair Timber Sports Championship at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
The fair will also offer a wrestling event featuring legendary wrestlers including George South and the Rock N Roll Express.
Even with all that action, the entertainment doesn't stray far from agricultural.
Events include an agriculture-based magician, hog racing, a farm adventure, a horseback riding show and the heritage walk.
And then there are the agricultural competitions.
"You can compete in just about everything," Stamey said.
The competition ranges from animals to art to food. Over the 10 days, the fair will dole out $240,000 in prizes.
People come to the fair for many reasons, Stamey said, but one of the biggest draws is the food. There will be 50 food vendors.
While all of these things are a recipe for fun, the crowds will also have a chance to experience the fair from the ground and the air. There will be a chairlift that stretches across the grounds for an aerial view of all the fair has to offer.
No matter what the view, Stamey hopes that fair-goers walk away with an education about agriculture and what Western North Carolina has to offer.
"That's our job," he said, "to promote agriculture. (The fair) provides an opportunity for them to experience agriculture firsthand."

Energy Department Announces New Batteries and Energy Storage Hub
The Energy Department announced on November 30 that its Argonne National Laboratory in suburban Chicago was selected for an award of up to $120 million over five years to lead a multi-partner team to establish a new batteries and energy storage hub. The hub, to be known as the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR), will combine research and development power of five Energy Department national laboratories, five universities, and four private firms in an effort aimed at achieving revolutionary advances in battery performance. Advancing next-generation battery and energy storage technologies for electric and hybrid cars and the electricity grid are a critical part of President Obama's strategy to reduce reliance on foreign oil and lower energy costs for U.S. consumers.
Other national labs partnering with Argonne include Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. University partners include Northwestern University, University of Chicago, University of Illinois-Chicago, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, and University of Michigan. Four industrial partners have also joined, including Dow Chemical Company; Applied Materials, Inc.; Johnson Controls, Inc.; and Clean Energy Trust.
The State of Illinois is providing $5 million to help build the state-of-the-art JCESR facility located on the Argonne campus in suburban Chicago. JCESR is the fourth energy innovation hub established by the Energy Department since 2010. Other hubs are devoted to modeling and simulation of nuclear reactors, achieving major improvements in the energy efficiency of buildings, and developing fuels from sunlight. A fifth hub focused on critical materials research was announced earlier this year and is still in the application process. See the Energy Department press release.

WASHINGTON (November 29, 2012)-- Republican congressional leaders Thursday were accusing Democrats of moving the nation closer to the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff by refusing to outline possible spending cuts.
After a meeting with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner said that there was "no substantive progress" and no "specific plan for cutting spending" from the White House.
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, after his own meeting with Geithner, said the administration offered no plans to protect Medicare or Social Security or significantly reduce the debt.
He said the administration "took a step backward," away from consensus, and moved "significantly closer to the cliff."
Democrats say it's up to Republicans to offer a roster of spending cuts.
"Republicans know where we stand." He says Democrats are "still waiting for a serious offer from Republicans," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said.
Last night, President Barack Obama spoke by phone for about 15 minutes with Boehner.
The House speaker says his comments Thursday reflected that conversation, as well as his meeting with the Treasury chief.

California Adopts a Long-Term Energy Efficiency Plan
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted a long-term energy efficiency strategy on September 18 that aligns well with DOE's goals for zero-energy buildings. California's new "Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan" includes two "Big Bold" strategies for significant energy efficiency gains in new buildings: to have all residential buildings achieve zero net energy use by 2020, and to have all commercial buildings achieve zero net energy use by 2030. In comparison, DOE's Building Technologies Program aims to achieve marketable zero energy homes by 2020 and zero energy commercial buildings by 2025. California's plan also goes a bit farther, with two more stretch goals: to reshape the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning industry to ensure optimal building performance and to weatherize all the homes of eligible low-income families by 2020. See the CPUC press release and the Building Technologies Program's Zero Energy Goals.
California's new plan focuses on energy efficiency goals for electricity and natural gas consumption, with targeted efforts for residential and commercial buildings, industries, and farms. The industrial effort hinges mainly on the development of a national certification program for energy-efficient industrial plants, with the goal of achieving a 25% reduction in industrial energy intensity by 2020, while the agricultural effort intends to achieve a 15% reduction in fossil-fuel energy intensity by 2020. The strategic plan also recognizes that energy efficiency programs should include efforts to commercialize emerging technologies, to provide technical assistance to users and sellers of the technologies, to educate and inform people about energy efficiency opportunities, to mandate minimum energy efficiency codes and standards, and to offer incentives to consumers. See the full plan on the California Energy Efficiency Web site.

ōIt isnÆt all Pollack, Springsteen, Warhol and Nirvana. As with most craft to which we turn out hand we are extraordinarily inventive, Æthough quirky, raising the stakes, but alas incapable of following through in pure hard sell.öDavid Bowie, The Buddha Of Suburbia (liner notes), 15 September 1993

I've been pushing Sonic Youth since '88. I think they're terribly important whereas I think Nirvana did a fine job with that single 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', but I wouldn't expect to hear from them in another couple of years.David Bowie, Life Special Issue: 40 Years of Rock n Roll, Page 92, December 1, 1992.

The music business is so incestuous that people like David Bowie are so entrenched in the lifestyle and have cultivated relationships with people within the music industry for years and theyÆre his friends and he doesnÆt want to offend them so he just keeps going.

I didn't meet him, but I was flattered that he liked my stuff. I hadn't been aware that there had been much of an influence of my particular music on the newer generation of bands.

OAKLAND -- Gunfire rang out in the aftermath of an event meant to highlight the city's creative resurgence Friday night, leaving an 18-year-old man dead and three other people, including a 17-year-old boy, wounded, police said Saturday.
It was believed to be the first time in the seven-year history of the popular First Friday event that such deadly violence had occurred. The shooting happened as the crowded event was winding down and left attendees and organizers wondering about its future.
"We can't pretend that it's not an issue, that it doesn't exist," said First Friday volunteer Eric Arnold. "If First Friday goes away, we're still left with the problem of violence. We're all responsible."
The teen shot to death was Kiante Campbell, of Oakland. Campbell's friend, a 17-year-old Oakland boy, was also shot, police said, as were a 24-year-old Oakland woman and a 29-year-old San Francisco woman. None of their names were released.
Police said the women were not part of the confrontation and were hit by stray bullets as they walked in the area.
The shooting happened about 10:50 p.m. in the parking lot of a beauty supply business in the 2000 block of Telegraph Avenue, between 20th and 21st streets in the Uptown district.
Campbell, the 17-year-old and some other people with them had been at the event since about 9 p.m., Officer Jason Andersen said. Official First Friday events are scheduled to end at 10 p.m., but patrons often remain in the area to go to local bars and clubs.
Campbell's group got into a confrontation with another group of people in the parking lot, Andersen said.
"It's unclear what (the confrontation) was about, but it turned to gunfire," he said.
Campbell died at the scene. The 17-year-old was taken to a hospital, and the women went to another hospital. None of their wounds were life-threatening, and all were expected to be treated and released, police said.
No arrests have been made.
Social media posts on the event commented on the large crowd attending the monthly street festival, and many remained on an eight-block section of Telegraph Avenue that was closed to vehicles after the shooting. The event draws thousands of people to the Uptown district for art exhibits, live music and food trucks.
Volunteers with the First Friday organization said Saturday morning that the violence was a reminder that Oakland still has serious issues to confront.
Friday's event featured the debut of a kids' stage, meant to engage local youth with contests, dancing and other activities, according to volunteer Amber McZeal.
"We see First Friday as the opportunity to bring (youth) in and have them hyper-exposed to positive, transformative, engaging, fun activities that offer an alternative to the every day," she said. "If we're talking about (changing) a culture of violence, then creativity informs culture, always."
As the festival has grown, organizers have worked with the city on safety issues, Arnold said. The city underwrites the cost of police officers and private security guards who patrol the area, and organizers moved the end of the festival an hour earlier, he said.
"We've done everything we could to try to ensure a peaceful event," Arnold said. "This was already a concern for us before this even happened.
"It's really unfortunate because this event is something that really spotlights the positivity of Oakland. It was really starting to change the city's identity."
The shooting "brings things to a head" for organizers, Arnold said.
The festival started as an offshoot of the Oakland Art Murmur, where local galleries and studios opened to the public, but as the event grew, it moved away from that mission, and so the First Friday organization took over, said Art Murmur Executive Director Danielle Fox.
"We actually thought it was getting a little too crowded about a year ago, and so we stopped holding our little craft fair," Fox said. "In the long run, it's good for Oakland, and it's good for the economy, as long as it stays safe."

First off I'd like to say this is the best media server I have used, I started off with XBMC and ran Tversity for a while but still wanted a media server that could play iso's and hd content. I recently installed the latest build 1.10.5 and noticed when I watch iso's that PSM will just shut down during scanning (fast forwarding). This only happens when I stream iso's from my external drive that is attached to my desktop. I can scan through 720p mkv's and full blue ray rips (m2ts) no problem. I have a brand new core i7 rig with 6 gb's ram etc. Could this be due to the usb bottleneck between the PC and external drive?
The error I get is network error on the Ps3 where PSM just shuts down, I started getting this with some 720p mkv's as well. I recently installed a new firewall, but I don't think that is causing problems becuase I can start streaming. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

First thanks for the more than great app, and any attempts to help my lost soul ... =)
I have an issue involving connecting my macbook pro wirelessly through my router to the wired PS3. If I connect my mac by wire everything is working without changing anything. But with wireless connection to the router I simply cannot get it to work. To me this sounds like a router issue, but as the traffic is inside the LAN I cannot understand what settings this might concern.
I have tried turning off the firewall, forcing the ip, forcing the network card to the wireless en1, port forwarding even thought this also shouldn't matter, and finally entered manual settings into ps3 although they are the same as auto. No I have no other servers running on my mac.
Grateful for help.

ZEPHYR COVE, Nev. - The lady Warriors were ready for Round 2, but then so were South Tahoe's King sisters.
Whittell never let South Tahoe get out of reach Saturday, but Brooke King and Ally King delivered in pivotal moments to lead the Vikings to a 38-32 win in front of a packed and rowdy gym at Whittell, Saturday.
It was the typical chippy match that's come to be expected when these two teams meet. Most of these girls have played against each other since elementary school, so there was no love lost Saturday.
"It wasn't a pretty outing, but it was a win," South Tahoe coach Mike Neiger said. "It's a good thing if you can win an ugly game on the road."
This brings the season score to 2-0, South Tahoe, but the win wasn't a gimme by any means.
Two weeks earlier, South Tahoe beat Whittell by 16 points. Amanda Harris scored 22 of Whittell's 24 points during that first season matchup.
After the loss, Whittell head coach Tom Esposito said it would be a different game next time around.
He wasn't kidding. The Warriors were ready for the rematch.
South Tahoe jumped out to a 2-point lead, and a 3-pointer from Brooke edged the Vikings ahead 11-8 after the first quarter.
South Tahoe kept the momentum rolling into the second quarter.
Kaila Griffis stepped up with the Vikings missing their point, Bailey David, who was out with a concussion. Griffis added a key layup and 2-2 free throw performance to extend South Tahoe's lead to 21-15 heading into halftime.
Whittell ate up that lead in a matter of minutes, though, as they exploded into the second half.
The Warriors opened the half with four unanswered points followed by a 3-pointer from Amanda Harris, who cut South Tahoe's lead to 23-22.
Whittell's Jenny Shepack then grabbed a steal and ran it coast-to-coast to tie the game at 24.
It was the younger King, Ally, who stepped up to stall Whittell's momentum. She drained five unanswered points, including a 3, with a minute left in the third.
Alley's momentum shift wasn't the final word though.
The Warriors surged back behind a 3-pointer from Shepack and a free throw from Amanda, making it a 3-point game again with a minute remaining.
This time it was the older King, Brooke, who stepped up to squash the Whittell surge. Her free throw made it a four-point game, and her last second layup silenced Whittell's come-from-behind effort.
Brooke had a game high of 16 points, including one 3-pointer. She also had five rebounds and three assists. Griffis posted seven points.
South Tahoe's Hannah Neiger and Riley Chapman controlled the boards. Neiger had 12 rebounds, eight defensive, and Chapman pulled down 11 rebounds.
For the Warriors, Amanda led the way with 11 points and seven rebounds. Jenny "The Jet" Shepack had eight points.
"I told The Jet 'I need eight points from you tonight, Jet,' and she said, 'you got it coach'," Esposito said.
Sierra Forvilly added seven points. Emily Harris had four points, but also four key blocked shots and four assists.
UP NEXT: The lady Warriors will travel to Elko for their first playoff game against White Pine on Thursday. The winner will advance to semifinals on Friday and then on to finals Saturday.
The lady Vikings open playoffs with a home game against Truckee on Wednesday.
South Tahoe 11 10 8 9 - 38
Whittell 8 7 9 8 - 32

Procedural issues
22. An issue also arose as to the scope of the evidence which the respondents' expert witnesses, and in particular Professor van Pelt, were entitled to give. Professor van Pelt was introduced as a Professor of the History of Architecture at a Canadian university. It emerged that he was not a qualified architect and it is submitted on behalf of the applicant that Professor van Pelt should not have been allowed to give evidence on architectural questions, such as the design of the buildings at Auschwitz. He described himself as a cultural historian. It is further submitted that, even if qualified to give evidence about the design of buildings, he should not have been permitted, when questions arose as to the chemistry involved in gassing, to give evidence about that.
23. We see no merit whatever in the first of these submissions. Professor van Pelt plainly had considerable knowledge and expertise in the design of buildings and the uses to which they can be put. The absence of a professional qualification in architecture did not preclude him from giving evidence on architectural matters when the issues were those in this case. One does not have to be a qualified lawyer to express views on legal history. There must of course be a limit to the extent to which someone whose profession is that of historian can express views of his own on highly technical matters. The witness is however entitled to consult, refer to and rely on source material in support of an opinion. Military historians frequently express opinions about the effectiveness of weapons and the effect of their use in battle and can do so without their being experts, for example, in ballistics or metallurgy.
24. That being so, such force as Mr Davies's second submission may have had was destroyed by his refusal to entertain discussion of Professor van Pelt's source material. Mr Davies stated that he had not come to the hearing prepared to argue the merits of van Pelt's report. He declined to examine, for example, the documents, mentioned by the judge at 7.124, on which Professor van Pelt had relied in expressing the opinion that the quantity of coke required per corpse at Auschwitz would have been no more than 3.5 kg. Nor was he prepared to analyse the information on the basis of which the applicant had expressed the opinion that the appropriate figure was 35 kgs. This was not a subject for evidence from either party, Mr Davies submits. We reject that submission.
25. We also mention at this point that there were before the Court two applications to call fresh evidence in support of the application. The first, made well before the hearing, was to call evidence from Mr Germar Scheerer (born Rudolf), who holds a diploma in chemistry, and Mrs Zoe Polanska-Palmer, who was detained in Birkenau Camp. The respondents had prepared voluminous evidence in reply. In the event, that application to call fresh evidence was not pursued. We express our dismay at this combination of events; the preparation of very detailed evidence (exposing the respondents to great expense in preparing a reply and the members of the Court to considerable pre-hearing reading) and the withdrawal of the application.
26. We were not prepared to entertain an application made by Mr Davies in the course of the hearing that a series of photographs, said to be self-explanatory, dealing with the issues as to the Prussian blue staining of fabric exposed to hydrogen cyanide should be admitted. That was a subject considered in the proposed additional evidence it was decided not to seek permission to adduce. To permit admission of photographs alone would have been unfair and could have been very misleading.
27. The second application was made in the course of the hearing. It was wished to call evidence of the contents of a book written by Professor Evans, published early this year and known to the applicant in March. The application was not reduced to writing and we did not see the book but the allegation is that the work demonstrates Professor Evans's ill-will towards the applicant. We refused the application first on the ground of its extreme lateness, which was an important factor having regard to the allegation to be made; second on the ground that the alleged attitude of Professor Evans had already been raised at the trial and the judge had been in a position to assess, with that in mind, the lengthy evidence he had given; third on the ground that the proposed additional evidence was not, and could not be contended to be, crucial on the central issue having regard to all the material available.

HAMPTON — Peter Bartoloni, the 71-year-old Hampton man who allegedly killed his roommate with a sledgehammer this past fall, was indicted on murder charges at Rockingham County Superior Court this month.
Bartoloni is charged with first- and second-degree murder in the death of Robert "Bob" Roderick, 56, of 19 M Street in Hampton. The brutal killing shocked many neighbors and friends, including Maggie Gauron, who appeared at Bartoloni's video arraignment.
Gauron said Roderick was so disabled by a previous injury that he had no use of his left side.
A third roommate, Scott Anderson, found Roderick dead on the couch in the middle of the night and called Hampton Police.
Court documents state that Bartoloni knowingly caused the death of Roderick by striking him repeatedly with a sledgehammer on Oct. 3.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests:
The Lipschutz Lab is interested in kidney development, especially as it relates to recovery from injury and cystic kidney disease.
Keywords: Ciliogenesis, Cystogenesis, Tubulogenesis, and Kidney Development .
Research Details:
Cystogenesis and tubulogenesis are important for many complex biological processes such as organ development, regeneration following acute kidney injury (AKI), and diseases such as Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). This lab has three basic experimental goals: first, to find novel genes involved in cyst and tubule formation using techniques such as DNA microarray analysis; second, to determine the molecular mechanism by which these candidate genes act using both in vitro and in vivo studies, such as the creation of transgenic and knockout mice, and knockdown and overexpression of proteins in zebrafish; and, finally, to utilize this knowledge to identify treatment strategies for ADPKD and to accelerate recovery following AKI.
An example of a group of candidates genes for cyst and tubule formation, identified by the Lipschutz Lab, is the exocyst complex. The exocyst is a highly conserved eight protein complex involved in the biogenesis of polarity in organisms as diverse as yeast and mammals. The exocyst is centrally involved in cystogenesis/tubulogenesis and acts by specifically modulated synthesis and delivery of basolateral plasma membrane and secretory proteins. One member of the exocyst complex, Sec10, is particularly important in that it acts as a bridge between the vesicles that carry polarized proteins and the rest of the exocyst complex, which is found adjacent to the plasma membrane. Current studies are investigating how the exocyst acts at a cellular and molecular level and the role of exocyst complex in kidney development. Given the relatively ubiquitous expression of the exocyst complex in a variety of different cells and organs, the Cre-Lox system has been used to generate mice with a kidney-specific disruption in the Sec10 gene.
Many diseases, such as ADPKD, involve reactivation of developmental programs. ADPKD is the most common potentially lethal monogenic disorder and affects 500,000 Americans alone. In the case of ADPKD, gigantic cystic structures form that ultimately result in the destruction of the kidney. Defects in ciliogenesis are central to the pathogenesis of ADPKD, and the Lipschutz Lab has shown that the exocyst is necessary for ciliogenesis and that the exocyst traffics polycystin-2 in vitro and in vivo. Polycystin-2 is the protein product of PKD2, one of two genes, which when mutated, cause ADPKD. Abnormalities in the exocyst complex have been demonstrated in tissue samples and cell lines derived from patients with ADPKD by this lab and others. In both yeast and mammals, the exocyst is controlled by the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins. We have recently shown that Rho family proteins interact with the exocyst to regulate cyst and tubule formation, as well as ciliogenesis. The Lipschutz Lab also showed that the exocyst protects renal tubule cells from injury both in vitro and in vivo by activating the MAPK pathway. Using mouse models of ADPKD and AKI, the Lipschutz Lab, in collaboration with the Bennett Lab at Penn, is using AAV-mediated gene therapy to treat both ADPKD and AKI.

Chamber interviews for new president
Published: Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 11:29 p.m.
The Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce's search committee is still in the process of finding a new chamber president.
"We have no target date as to when we are going to hire someone. We are going through the interview process now," said board Chairman Billy Foster.
The committee started the search for a new president about a week after Chamber President Drake Pothier resigned Oct. 26. Pothier left the position to head an Allstate insurance office in Lafayette.
Foster and Jerry Ledet, chairmen of the search committee, said the group posted ads in newspapers and online to seek applicants for president.
"We posted it locally as well as through chamber organizations and other nonprofit-type organizations," Ledet said.
"We had a list of things we were looking for. But it was mostly based upon experience and education," Foster said.
Foster said the committee has been interviewing candidates for two weeks and the process could possibly roll over in to next year.
"If we could select someone before the year is out that would be great. It's unlikely someone would start before the end of the year though. Although it's physically possible, I think it is unlikely," he said.
The staff, the executive committee, Foster and the incoming Chamber Chairwoman Jennifer Armand have banded together to pick up the workload since Pothier's resignation. Even though they have things under control, those helping out are looking forward to someone filling the position.
"The sooner the better. But with that said, we are not going to shorten the process because of time. We are going to go through the process to make sure we find the right person. We are committed to finding from within the applicants that we have to fill that position, and however long that takes that is what we are going to do," Foster said.
Pothier joined the chamber as president in 2008. Prior to that, he worked as the communications director for the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce in 2002 and as the vice president of operations for the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce in Fort Smith, Ark., in 2006.
The application process is closed but could reopen if a suitable candidate is not found, chamber officials said.

DONNER SUMMIT, Calif. - Sugar Bowl Resort has launched a new interactive and visual website that is easy to navigate, and streamlines the online purchase of season passes and lodging packages. Visit www.sugarbowl.com/seasonpass for all season pass prices. Standalone Royal Gorge pass prices are available at www.royalgorge.com/passes.html.
The new Sugar Bowl Resort website, designed by Reno-based Saint Pierre, launched on Oct. 17 with integrated video, interactive trail maps and an intuitive layout. As the ski season approaches, the Donner Summit resort plans to add five more webcams to a page that already includes online views of Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Disney and Mt. Judah. The new webcams and the up-to-date weather information on the resort's homepage will help skiers and snowboarders keep track of the most current snow conditions and weather on the slopes.
Visitors to the new website can purchase season passes online, buy a CORE daily pass (a ticket discount and rewards pass valid throughout the season) or book lodging packages at Sugar Bowl's historic, slopeside Village Lodge. Season passes to Royal Gorge and joint Sugar Bowl/Royal Gorge season passes, are also available for purchase on the website.-
"Whether you are a skier or snowboarder scrambling to find out how much snow fell overnight at Sugar Bowl, a destination visitor looking to book a slopeside room or a long-time season passholder looking to renew your pass for next season, the new Sugarbowl.com makes it simple and streamlined," said John Monson, director of sales and marketing for Sugar Bowl Resort.
To view the new website visit www.sugarbowl.com.
