Today's game between Heidelberg and Muskingum would qualify as the very definition of a trap game for the Student Princes.
Heidelberg, unbeaten and ranked No. 16 in the most recent AFCA Division III poll, is coming off a huge win, a 21-0 victory over previously undefeated Otterbein. Next week, Heidelberg travels to Alliance for a what figures to be a tussle with unbeaten and top-ranked Mount Union.
Before all that begins, Heidelberg will host the 1-5 Muskies, a team that is allowing 31 points a game.
But Heidelberg coach Mike Hallett said he tried to cut off any chance.
"Future opponents are not allowed to be spoken about this week," Hallett said. "There's only one focus right now; it's the same way we've prepared every week. The only thing that matters right now is right now."
And looking at the statistics, Muskingum can give a team plenty to be concerned about.
"We've got challenges, certainly, with this week," Hallett said. " I know it's easy to look at the tale of the tape, say 'Oh, they're 1-5, they give up 30 points a game,' but it's a little bit skewed in the way they get there."
Muskingum has had some close games against quality opponents. The Muskies took then-No. 10 Baldwin-Wallace to overtime before losing, and stayed close with Otterbein before falling, 23-13. Last week's loss to John Carroll (55-28) was the first non-Mount Union blowout the Muskies were involved in.
But Hallett said even that score is deceiving.
"John Carroll did a really good job; they certainly used some formations and things to their advantage, but it was a lot of one-on-one situations with John Carroll's really good receiver and really good quarterback vs. one guy," Hallett said. "So they were able to capitalize on that. And really against Mount Union, same thing. They did a really good job of containing Mount, and then Mount would hit a big play on them."
So what does Heidelberg have to do to be successful?
"They are very good against the run," Hallett said. "They do a really good job of playing solid defense, but they're susceptible to big plays. The teams that have scored a bunch of points on them, it's been big plays over the top. So, that's a great challenge, because the more you throw the ball down the field, usually the lower your completion rate."
On offense, Muskingum boasts a very good receiver in James Washington, who has caught six touchdown passes and has 411 total yards receiving.
"Two very talented receivers," Hallett said. "James Washington and then (Lunden Butler). Both do a very nice job of running routes, catching the ball in traffic and catching the ball in space. They can go up and get it."
Hallett said he's not sure who will quarterback for Muskingum today, since Alex Meredith left last week's game against John Carroll with an injury.
"They have a freshman (C.J. Snider) who's been taking more reps and doing a nice job," Hallett said.
Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.

For more than 30 years, Youngstown's acclaimed Sacksville Rhythm & Blues Band has rocked venues throughout the Mahoning Valley and beyond.
In its heyday, the band has opened for acclaimed acts such as Bob Dylan, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes, NRBQ, Satan's Satellites and Michael Stanley and played such popular area festivals like the Canfield Fair and the Bavarian Fun Fest in Sharon, Pa.
Sonny Hrehovcik, Sacksville R&B vocalist and guitarist, said he started the group in 1981 out of a passion for the blues.

Special to the Tribune Chronicle
Sonny Hrehovcik leads the Sacksville Rhythm & Blues Band, which has been playing with various lineups for more than 30 years.
"I was hanging out with some friends of mine and playing music together," he said. "We wanted to play the blues stuff because we did not want to practice too much. We liked the blues because it's the same chords and you can improvise and it's a nice comfortable format. That's why we call the band Sacksville Rhythm & Blues Band."
The band had a "swinging door lineup," especially during the 1990s, Hrehovcik said. Joining him in the current lineup is Joe Rongone, saxophone;, Tony Armeni, trombone; John Plaskett, bass; Mike Klanica, drums; and Darryl Balestra, guitar.
Last year the band lost an important member, harmonica player Bill "Fish" Conner.

When You?Go
WHO: Sacksville Rhythm & Blues Band and The Jellybricks
WHEN: 10 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Cedars West End, 706 Steel St., Youngstown
"Bill 'Fish' Conner used to always say that Sacksville Rhythm and Blues Band was like a Chinese takeout menu, because if one band member couldn't make it to practice or a gig, there was always another guy there to fill in," Hrehovcik said.
"Our band membership was very flexible, this made the live performances more interesting. For example, our trombone player, Tony Armeni might play something abstract, you never how our music is going to come out. Our music is not programmed and we approach the idea of our songs with 'here is the basic structure and then we will improvise with experimental jamming."
The band's earliest gig in 1981 was at Cedars Lounge, where the band opened for the Youngstown new wave act The 8-Balls.
Hrehovcik recalls that 8-Balls drummer Sandy Naples was doing his internship at the hospital and didn't get off until 11 p.m. and The 8-Balls needed an opening act, so Hrehovcik and the boys jumped on the bill. Today, Hrehovcik and 8-Balls vocalist, Tim Gilliland, play in the acoustic act The Guilty Pleasures.
Sacksville released several cassettes in the 1980s and two full-length albums, "Let's Have A Drink, Let's Have A Toast" (1987), and "Playtime" (1989).
"The first album, 'Let's Have A Drink Let's Have A Toast,' was recorded live in the studio and was what we sounded like live," Hrehovcik said. "We made 'Let's Have A Drink Let's Have A Toast' to have a recorded product to send out to clubs to represent the band."
Before the days of Sacksville Rhythm & Blues Band, Hrehovcik played in the Youngstown power pop outfit The Todd. The group disbanded in 1975, which was the year Hrehovcik decided to open a record shop, Underdog Records.
Originally in Boardman, Underdog now is located at 6181 Youngstown Hubbard Road in Hubbard.
"The Todd played up until early 1975, and we did nine years of playing shows on the road. After The Todd broke up, I was going to get together to form another band with Michael Gismondi (who played bass in the Michael Stanley Band from 1979-1987) and Nick Testa, drummer from the 1970s Youngstown rock act Coconut. This band was going to be the same as The Todd, but at the same time, I decided to start a record shop instead, Underdog Records, with my business partner and soundman for The Todd, Ed Rupeka," Hrehovcik said.
Hrehovcik said he is happy to share the stage with The Jellybricks on Saturday. The Jellybricks includes Larry Kennedy, a one-time member of The Infidels.
"Larry Kennedy used to come into my store Underdog Records when he was a kid. Mara Simon, owner of Cedars West End, called me and said that The Jellybricks wanted to play with Sacksville Rhythm and Blues Band in the summer. We couldn't play that date, but we are excited to play this show. In Sacksville Rhythm and Blues Band, we are always excited to play together, and when you put us up on stage, it's exciting to see what happens."

Obama was presented a personalized Super Bowl XLI jersey by quarterback Eli Manning and offered this advice for sportswriters:
"Next time Eli Manning says he's an elite quarterback, you might just want to be quiet," Obama said in a ceremony on the South Lawn.
The team posed for photos inside the White House, took a tour of the West Wing and was introduced after a procession.
It was the Giants second trip to the White House under coach Tom Coughlin. George W. Bush was in office when the team was in Washington, D.C. last in 2008.
Coughlin spoke before Obama's presentation. The military veteran congratulated his team for working together to find success and said, "Wouldn't it be nice if Congress operated the same way?"

The Grand Rapids Press's Michael Zuidema penned a superb article discussing Red Wings-turned-Griffins forward Brad May's status as a player adjusting to a very different role in the AHL receives further context courtesy of NHL.com's Lindsay Kramer, who spoke to May about his coming to terms with his demotion:
March 11, NHL.com: "There's obviously a lot of difficult days playing hockey. But it's how you react from those times that shape who you are," he said. "If I walked around with a chip on my shoulder, that could affect the way they look at you. I'm just one of the guys."
Except that some of those guys were close to not being born yet when the Sabres took May in the first round of the 1990 draft. And that none of them are close to having two teenagers, as May is with a 14-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter. May spends his family time counseling his children and then makes himself available for teammates who might be in need of the same.
"I try not to be a blowhard. You can't just be spewing out a bunch of garbage," he said. "Either you have some good advice, or you don't. You see things all the time. But is it the right time or the right place (to say something)? These guys have been playing all year. It's not as if they are all green. They know exactly what it takes for their life to work."
May has an idea what keeps him perky every day. He said his demotion is a lot easier to take with just a few weeks left in the regular season instead of a few months. By the time the Red Wings begin their playoff run, May figures he'll have shown he can help in that endeavor.
"That's why I'm here. To win a Stanley Cup," he said. "It may seem a far way away. But it's not that far. My eyes are always on the ball. It's important to stay focused."

After reading the 2013 Report on the State of the Legal Market by The Center for the Study of the Legal Profession at the Georgetown University Law Center and Thomson Reuters Peer Monitor, I made a vow to stop using the term "the new normal." Change has become normalized. We must accept it and find ways to leverage it.
We are in the 5th year of the economic downtown that brought changes to the legal profession that included downsizing, new partnership models, globalization and reductions to non-legal staff. Technology has leapt forward with the rapid adoption of the smartphone and tablet devices. Did you realize that the first iPhone was only released on June 29, 2007? The amount of information out there in the world for public consumption has exploded.
The report suggests that law firms must become flexible to tailor staffing, technology, workflow and pricing to meet a client's particular situation. In a legal environment where firms with equity partners, non-equity partners, associates, contract attorneys, part-time attorneys, secretaries and paralegals who is going to be doing the work? Will firms become agile enough to mix and match the right mix of legal professionals on the fly to respond to client's new expectations?
The study wasn't the only article that I read the last two weeks related to changes. The Legal Intelligencer reported that Blank Rome is about to dramatically revamp its secretarial program.
It is an interesting approach. They are creating three different offerings of secretarial support. Associates who do not rely on a secretary for traditional functions will use a pool of secretaries who will be part of an Associate Resource Center. This group will be expected to have the highest level of tech skills. Practice groups like Intellectual Property that require specialized knowledge will have their own pool of secretaries and the third group will represent the more traditional secretary model supporting partners who require dedicated support.
It's something I'll be watching. I think it is an interesting approach for addressing the changing work and support needs rather than just increase ratios by adding more assigned attorneys to a secretary.

A majestic desert marvel in Utah's Canyonlands National Park richly rewards travelers who have the gumption and four-wheel drive.
By Tim Fitzharris
The dramatic vistas at Canyonlands National Park rival those of the Grand Canyon, while its exotic geology is first cousin to that of a nearby and better-known national park, Arches.
I've spent many thrilling days chasing endless photo opportunities in this immense region full of deep canyons, sheer-drop mesas, staircase benchlands and soaring sandstone spires.
A remote high-desert wilderness, with elevations ranging from 3,700 to 7,200 feet above sea level, Canyonlands is one of my favorite places to shoot Wild West landscapes.
The park sprawls over 337,598 sparsely populated acres in southeast Utah, not far from the town of Moab.
The park is composed of three sections whose boundaries are loosely carved by the Colorado and Green rivers. The three sections are isolated from one another, and you reach them by separate dead-end roads that snake inward from the park periphery.
The Needles district is on the southeast side of the Colorado River, about 90 minutes from Moab. This is the most developed part of the park, with a small store, cafe, visitor center and campground.
Needles, named for the area's vibrantly colored sandstone spires, is also known for its steep canyons, towering arches and buttes.
Visitors can explore more than 60 miles of interconnecting trails, which can be challenging even for experienced hikers or those traveling in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. But the spectacular scenery is worth the effort.
Looming over the northern reaches of the park, Island in the Sky is a grand, flat-topped, tree-studded mesa about 45 minutes from Moab.
It's the easiest area of the park for visitors to reach and the best location for capturing those fabulous panoramic shots. A meandering paved road connects numerous overlooks of the river-carved terrain thousands of feet below. Facilities include a visitor center and small campground.
I love to spend the early morning in this part of the park hiking several of the short trails to discover how the light is mottling the exotic rock forms carved by the river.
The Shafer Trail Road leaves the mesa's rim and drops 1,000 feet in a series of jaw-clenching switchbacks to the White Rim, a massive bench of rock that encircles Island in the Sky.
If you have time to venture outside the park on a brief side trip, you won't want to miss the dramatic view of Canyonlands from the adjacent Dead Horse Point State Park.
The Maze district is Canyonlands' least-visited sector, and thorough preparation is necessary before mounting an expedition there.
This labyrinth of multihued rock canyons is accessible only by four-wheel drive or by hiking over remote unmarked trails.
I have not ventured into the Maze, but this trek is high on my wish list, along with spotting and photographing the park's elusive desert bighorn sheep and mountain lions.
Spring, with its pleasant weather, light crowds and burst of wildflower color, is my favorite time to visit Canyonlands. Typically, daytime highs reach a comfortable 60 to 80 degrees.
May and early June offer flowering cacti and herbs, which I photograph on rare overcast days, when the landscapes lose some of their drama to the soft light.
Summer's high temperatures, frequently exceeding 100 degrees, make hiking difficult. But the heat also stirs up photogenic thunderstorms that add rainbows, magnificent sunsets and clouds of all shapes and colors to an already sumptuous array.
In autumn, aspens and cottonwoods along the rivers and streams put on a nice show of fall color, made even more enjoyable by clear October skies and pleasant temperatures.
I've also tested my cameras here in the winter, when snow dusts the tawny or rusty wilderness. Use caution when visiting during winter, however, as even a light snowfall can make roads treacherous to navigate.
Through the lens, and to my eyes, Canyonlands' raw, undisturbed beauty is remarkable and breathtaking all year 'round.

M1903s I've seen are often $1000 or more, and the ones that aren't are still about twice as much as a decent Kar98k. I don't understand it.

May 15, 2011, 07:39 PM
Depends on the rifle you're comparing it to as well. For instance, I have a 98k that has been appraised at $1800, well out of the neighborhood of many of the recent Russian capture rifles and similar ones.
Many 03's were also sporterized, altered or welded up as drill rifles, further reducing an already limited number available.

"Saving Private Ryan" would be my guess. My dad paid $12 for a Rock Island in 1945, and I have a framed receipt my father in law got when he ordered one in the 1950s from the Tooele arsenal. It was under $50. They were just rifles back then, so guys would buy one and sporterize it, rather than spend $100 on a Winchester.
I bought a nice two groove Remington 03A3 back in the 1980s for $85, complete with bayonet, great shooter too.
American war rifles are just hot right now. Try pricing a nice M1 or M1 Carbine.

Supply and Demand.
Our rifles are not warhoused in the stock piles of other countries or brought home in duffle bags. The Soviet Union disolved and I believe many of the MN91/30s are Ukranian in origin...
Also, we didnt turn them out like the Soviets did with the Mosin Nagant & the Germans 98k. MILLIONS and MILLIONS of them produced. We sometimes forget many of the Largest battles of WW2 were between the Soviets and Germans on the "Eastern Front".
My humble opinion!
May 15, 2011, 09:53 PM
Ask any machinist what it would cost to build or even repair that 03 rear sight for starters. Then go from there.
Jim K
May 15, 2011, 10:20 PM
Demand, but also partly supply. There were onlly some 1.5 million "real Springfields" (that is M1903 rifles made by Springfield) ever made. Add up attrition in two wars, plus hundreds of thousands of guns sold surplus and "sporterized", more converted to drill rifles, more sold or given away as military aid, and the result is that good, original M1903's are scarce. There were many millions more K.98k rifles made, and while there was a high attrition rate, so many were brought back by GIs and brought in after the war by importers, that there are probably more K.98k's in the country than Model 1903's. Of course, the Mausers also were "sporterized" by the thousands, but quite a few were not and those are now becoming much more valuable.
May 15, 2011, 10:48 PM
Strange, I see 03s and 03a3s all the time for $400-600 in my part of the northeast. I'd guess it's a regional demand plus shop markup sort of thing.
Jim K
May 16, 2011, 10:45 PM
There are a goodly number of M1903A3's around, thanks to DCM sales in the 1960's, but good M1903's are pretty scarce. Most have been rebuilt, refinished, or worked on in some way so that they are no longer desireable collectors items.
One amusing gun I saw a few years ago at a PA gun show was a "rod bayonet" M1903. I guess the guy had heard of such a thing, but I doubt he had ever seen one. He drilled a hole in the front of the stock under the barrel and stuck in a cut off piece of a Model 1888 rod bayonet. That would have been funny enough, but he did it to a M1903A3! And it apparently didn't occur to anyone that a "rod bayonet" really should be usable as a "rod"; the .45-70 rod wouldn't even fit in the .30 barrel. Even more hilarious was watching a couple of yuppie "experts" discussing whether the Parkerized finish was original and how much money they could make reselling the gun. They shelled out $2500 for it, getting a "special deal."
May 17, 2011, 04:40 PM
I bought a 1903 A3 off a guy who had a sporter stock made for it. BUT he kept all the original stock and hardware. I was a little shocked to learn this old rifle could be worth 900+ dollars just 15 years later.
Real German 'untouched' Mausers have been up in that price range for a while.
Real 1903's of WW1 vintage have been pricey for a while.
Ron James
May 17, 2011, 05:26 PM
Why do 1903's cost more?? other than the fact so many 1903's were sporterized, the law of supply and demand takes over. At a very conservative guess, I would say at least 10 times as many K-98's were made than 1903's
May 17, 2011, 05:29 PM
The demand, driven by nostalgia and a certain amount of patriotism, is the key. I think of 03's as the American Mauser, which is really what it is. But saying that can start a serious fight!
There are many WWII vintage rifles far rarer than the Springfield 03's. Most any Finnish Mosin-Nagant, for example. The M28 I recently bought (for far less than an intact 03) is much more likely to have seen active combat in that war than a Springfield, and is much rarer. But not many US gun owners have bothered to learn about such rifles.
May 17, 2011, 06:18 PM
Plenty of $600- $700 1903's around, you just have to look and not at gunshows and shops.
Keep looking in gun forum For Sale
May 17, 2011, 06:34 PM
Yep, I've bought an A3 and a MKI over the forums for 600ish shipped within the past year or so. Keep your eyes open. :cool:
Jim K
May 18, 2011, 02:35 PM
Not a "serious fight"; the M1903 is derived from the Mauser, but it is not a Mauser or a Mauser copy. It really is a sort of shotgun marriage (or rifle marriage) between a Model 1893 Mauser and a Model 1898 Krag. Contrary to what many ignorant writers have said, it owes nothing to the Model 1898 Mauser, and there seems to be no documentary evidence that the Springfield designers ever saw a Model 1898 Mauser.
May 18, 2011, 02:44 PM
I know where there's an 03 still swathed in cosmo, priced at $1700! Thing is, I'd bet money that rifle was bought from the DCM by a farmer in the 60's, and when he saw the goop on it he stuck it in the closet and never touched it. Then he died and his heirs took it to the local gun shop in the nearest little Kansas town, and the shop owner thinks it's gold.

There's some interesting info about the Mauser vs U.S. patent infringement case:
In part it reads: Lesson Learned
The new rifle "borrowed" a number of features from the superior Mauser design, the single most important of which was the "charger loading" system. The advantage in firepower afforded by this simple, but ingenious patented feature was soon to be placed in the hands of United States forces, however it was going to arrive on the wings of controversy and at the cost of millions of dollars.
The bolt's dual, forward locking-lug design, the flag-style, bolt-mounted safety and staggered internal box magazine were additional Mauser features incorporated into the new Springfield. The addition of a magazine cutoff while different than the contemporary Gew 98 Mauser, was still a feature Mauser had used on the Turkish Model 1893. The few features on the Springfield actually different are an attempt to skirt Mauser's patents and avoid paying royalties. There was no advantage to the '03's two-piece firing pin or ugly third locking lug (1) That the Springfield was without question a Mauser clone was confirmed in a series of patent infringement patent infringement lawsuits filed by Mauser. Mauser won and the court ordered the US Government to pay damages. This is where popular myth takes over. The myth says the US Government lost the case, appealed, lost again, but war intervened and only a small amount of the judgment, approximately $250,000, was actually paid to Mauser. The balance of the huge award was never paid and the Great War provided the US Government an easy out.
The truth is a much more fascinating story. It was thought most of the DWM and Mauser company records were lost forever during the Allied bombing of Germany during World War Two . Not so the records of their attorney's--including the files of the US law firm handling the Mauser vs. the US suits here. Based on recent research by the firearms author, collector and historian, Jon Speed, this fascinating story is soon to be told. Jon's research of these long-lost records indicates the US paid huge sums of money in the form of both penalties and licensing fees, even up to and during the early years of World War One while the US remained neutral. The details of this fascinating story will be appear in Jon's upcoming two-volume work on the history of the Mauser firm.
May 18, 2011, 07:52 PM
ontrary to what many ignorant writers have said, it owes nothing to the Model 1898 Mauser
What about the third lug--the safety lug?

Jagger's Steady Cover Girl, Jerry Hall, Takes to the Boards to Break a (Very Long) Leg in Bus Stop
True, Montclair is what you might call really off-Broadway—about 15 miles from Manhattan, in fact. But Hall, who plays Mick Jagger's leading lady in real life, was looking for an artistic challenge. And what could be more challenging than breaking in a role made famous by Marilyn Monroe: Cherie, the small-town floozy with big-city ambitions in William Inge's Bus Stop. Seems the show's artistic director, Phil Oesterman, had seen Hall on Letterman one night and exclaimed, "That's my Cherie!" He called the next day, and Hall eagerly read for the role.
The rainstorm that soaked Montclair on opening night did nothing to discourage a near-capacity crowd, lured not only by Hall but by the chance of seeing Mick in the audience. Sure enough, Jagger, who had turned 45 that same day, slipped into a choice seat just as the lights went down. Several members of the crowd—an unlikely mix of shag-coiffed suburbanites and pale-faced New Yorkers—called out "Happy Birthday!" Mick cracked a very small smile.
Hall made her appearance 10 minutes into the play, wearing a purple dress that climbed toward uncharted altitudes on those endless legs. A garter belt and feather boa completed the ensemble—just the sort of couture she sported when her mother sent her off from Mesquite, Texas, to Paris at age 16 with a trunk full of homemade Frederick's of Hollywood knockoffs.
Indeed, Hall has a lot in common with Cherie. "We both came from big families and small towns. We both read a lot of Hollywood magazines and dreamed about goin' away," says Hall. "I just tried to be honest in the character, using my past experience." She also used the obliging Mick to help her memorize her lines. Says Hall: "He put on a real good accent."
On opening night, critics may have quibbled with a few of Hall's mannerisms, like flipping her long blond hair over her shoulder every few seconds. But fellow cast members were ready to nominate her for Miss Congeniality. "She is instantly likable," says Apollo Dukakis—brother of Olympia, cousin of Mike—who has a major role in the play. "She has a wonderful, self-mocking humor about herself." Hall was no prima donna, lunching with the cast and riding back to New York from rehearsals in the group van.
After the show, Mick and Jerry attended the cast party, where there was a large cake. One side sported a Ferrari and said "Happy Birthday, Mick"; the other side, decorated with a bus, read "Congratulations, Jerry." There was no talk of a wedding cake. "The M word," groaned Hall, when asked if she would ever marry the father of her two children. "Golly, I'm tryin'! Y'all quit rubbin' it in!"
Hall would like to play Cherie on Broadway, then maybe in London. But for the moment, two weeks in Montclair will suffice. "I could hardly get to sleep [after opening night]," Hall said the next day. "It was over, and we didn't mess up."

It occurred to me a few weeks ago that right now, in Ireland, for what seems like the first time in a long time, we have an abundance of designers working on our doorstep. My own sister is one of the many designers who leave our island for fairer climes and more bustling marketplaces, but it's heartening to see so many fashion talents deciding to stay at home (giving me home that she may one day decide to come back). Here's a piece that was published in today's fashion page, and, with it, Natalie Coleman's S/S 2013 video – which proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that deciding to work from a smaller industry doesn't have any impact in the end result.
OF ALL THE things the "Oirish" are known for, fashion is not high on the list. There is no disrespect intended to those involved in our fashion industry, but even they would have to admit that they come in behind the craic agus ceoil, smiling eyes and dancing feet, Bono, Michael Flatley, Sinéad O'Connor and the Corrs, even behind Aran jumpers – although they could, at a stretch, be classified as "fashion".
When it comes to fashion, there are a few names that come to mind: Paul Costelloe, John Rocha, Orla Kiely and Peter O'Brien, followed by young guns Pauric Sweeney, JW Anderson, Simone Rocha and Una Burke. But there are lesser-known names, gradually becoming more prominent, with one thing in common: they're all based here.
Design graduates are faced with two choices: stay in Ireland and struggle to stay afloat in a small, quickly diminishing industry; or go abroad and find their footing in a well established and supported industry.
But with the recession has come a new trend. While engineers, doctors and construction workers flee the country, several young fashion designers have put down roots at home, whether by chance or (if you'll excuse the pun) by design.
Technology has played a big part in allowing designers to operate from our tiny island. With the advent of high-speed broadband, the divide between Ireland, the UK, Europe and the US has narrowed considerably. "I really believe you can be based anywhere, in the West of Ireland or in Alaska, and it doesn't make a difference," says Joanne Hynes, whose home is in Ringsend and describes herself as being "anchored" in Ireland. "It works well for personal reasons," she says. Hynes just gave birth to her daughter, Fainche. "But travel is really important with work – it's unavoidable with fashion weeks in London and Paris, and manufacturing in Italy."
Merle O'Grady is another designer who does a lot of her manufacturing in Italy and France. "So being in the euro zone is genuinely making life easier," she says. O'Grady recently moved back to Ireland after years living and working in the UK, selling jewellery from a stall at Spitalfields market. "The ease of doing business in Ireland has been great," she says. "There's a warmth and openness when it comes to sharing information here that I didn't come across quite so much in the UK."
Natalie Coleman is based in Monaghan. Her designs were recently worn by pop singer Marina & the Diamonds, and her work has been praised online by Susanna Lau of stylebubble.co.uk, arguably the UK's most important fashion blogger.
For Coleman, being in Ireland hasn't hindered the development of her line. "It's a small industry for selling, because it's a smaller population – but I don't think it stops you from doing anything."
Living and working from a country with no dedicated manufacturing industry is a stumbling block, she says. "It makes it a little bit more difficult because you don't get funding." Coleman has been trying to embrace Irish traditions and to incorporate some native manufacturing methods into her work. "I've started working with a lovely lacemaker in Monaghan, and I know a few other people doing stuff with older traditions, so then there's a uniqueness to what we can do."
Jennifer Rothwell, who is based in Dublin, echoes Coleman's desire to see manufacturing happen more often here. "I believe there will be a return to garment manufacturing in Ireland," she says. "I'm campaigning actively to promote this initiative."
Every designer interviewed speaks of a lack of support for the industry on a nationwide scale, comparing Ireland to the UK, where the British Fashion Council supports and endorses a number of designers each year and recognises the contribution the fashion industry makes to the economy as a whole.
"I don't think the fashion industry is taken seriously as a business here," says Sinéad Doyle, who set up her eponymous womenswear label in Dublin in 2008. "In London, people have become really aware of the amount of money the fashion industry pumps into the UK. But it's still seen as quite frivolous here."
Coleman agrees. "It would be nice to get a little bit more support," she says, then pauses and laughs softly. "But I'm always banging on about not getting enough support."
O'Grady is pragmatic. While recognising that the "fashion industry just isn't big enough here", she says that the industry needs to accept that "exporting is the key to really growing a business from Ireland".
They all agree that there's no reason we shouldn't be exporting our fashion designers, just as we export our Guinness, Michael Flatley, craic and our ceoil. Being in Ireland, says O'Grady, is pretty good, and she can think of only one major con: "The price of a post-work GT."

A roundup of today's best photos.
A roundup of today's best photos.
Big Fat Muslim Guy: It's true! We need someone with stamina in the White House, someone with high energy. Donald J. Trump is EXACTLY the one we need to lead this nation back to greatness! He is the only one who knows what's best for us and what's best for America. I believe that God cares about America and that He chose Mr.Trump to make America GREAT again! We don't need illegals picking our fruits and vegetables or killing and packing our chickens. We have Okies and Arkies for that kind of work. AMERICANS! Americans who listen to country and western music, AMERICAN music, not that Mexican gibberish music or that unGodly hip-hop gangster rap trash! Mr. Trump is right, we don't need an election, he is ahead in all the polls and we should just make him president now and run that Kenyan out of the White House and tear it down and build a new one, something befitting a man of Mr. Trump's stature, something that looks like the Taj Mahal, only gold-plated and with lots of marble staircases, built by Italian-American craftsmen, which is as ethnic as we should get in America, at least they are from Europe. Once Mr. Trump builds that wall and deports all those illegal third world leeches, we can get back to being the country that God intended us to be: white, God-fearing and Republican, and the only ethnic minorities are Asians, Republican Asians, like the kind in Orange County. Mr. Trump is America's last best hope. If he loses, America loses! Don't let the liberal media destroy America! VOTE TRUMP!!! USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!

My favorite Primal workout isn't a workout at all. Hit the road on foot, walk to the grocery. Buy lots of stuff (preferrably heavy) and slug it all back home. LOL.
Hey all, I'm new to being primal and wanted to get some workout ideas. Generally I'm in the gym 2 to 3 days a week for HIIT workouts with a day of sprinting and a day or two of running (max of 3 miles pretty slow pace). If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appericate it!
My favorite Primal workout isn't a workout at all. Hit the road on foot, walk to the grocery. Buy lots of stuff (preferrably heavy) and slug it all back home. LOL.
As to weight training, I suggest you look at one of these sources...Charles Staley's "Muscle Logic", Cosgrove's and Schuler's "The New Rules of Lifting" or Rippetoe's "Starting Strenght." All seem to be pretty solid programs built on good fundamental principles.
As to bodyweight stuff, I like Furey's "Combat Condtioning" and Pavel's "The Naked Warrior".
Hope this helps.

I like to do a 30-45 minute trail run that is mixed with walking, sprinting & crawling. I don't prescribe numbers, I just follow the terrain and sprint when I feel like sprinting (I try to imagine being chased) and then I crawl up hills when I see a good opportunity...I walk when I get to the point that I am back to a jog instead of high intensity.
As far as strength goes, I look for rocks, logs and other objects that I can lift along the trails. Again, no prescribed numbers, just lift until I feel like tossing it on the ground to continue moving.
In the gym, I stick to Paul Chek's 7 Human Movements (lift, squat, push, pull, rotation, overhead press and gait which I take care of in the run). Examples:
- 10 minutes of Dead Lift x 5 / Push Press x 5 / Cable Row x 5 (In the warmer months I can do this with rope and a weighted sled to pull hand over hand).
- Barbell thrusters x max reps in 5 minutes
- Box Jumps (jump from one box to another, jump off the box, do a burpee, crawl, roll, and hump back onto the box).
- Nice long walk in the trails. Carry a back pack or go light with VFF's and no shirt.
- Plate rotation, Plate Swing, Plate Press x 10 each for 10 minutes (This one really hurts!)
- Play Ultimate frisbee, soccer, or any other game that makes you sprint and smile
- Run, jump and do pull ups on a soccer net or tree, jump down and crawl to the other end of the field (kong crawl works for long distances), repeat the process by mixing drills to get from one post to the next
- Mud runs in the spring are awesome!
- In the army we used to sprint in the snow (this is tough!)
- Carry a friend (on your back/fireman) then switch and mix in some partner resistance drills such as the partner push up
- go to Exuberant Animal for some more fun partner workout ideas http://www.exuberantanimal.com/games/index.php
Have fun, workout less, keep the intensity high, and try to get outdoors.

Erie Snapshot: Everyone's Italian at St. Paul's Festival
The smell of fresh-baked cannolis, pasta e fagioli, and other Italian specialties, along with sounds of laughter, filled the air outside St. Paul Catholic Church at 1617 Walnut St. during the St. Paul's Italian Festival last weekend.
The festival, which has been celebrated for more than 30 years, offers people from the region a chance to reconnect through music, traditional Italian foods, activities and more.
"It's part of Erie's heritage. When people first came over (from Italy), the majority of the people congregated in this area," said Judy Smith, 70, of Erie. "It kind of brings everything back together."
More than a thousand festivalgoers were expected to attend the event during the weekend, which helps fund church activities and projects.
"They all come out to support the community, and the awareness is tremendous for the church," said Stacy Corapi, 47, of Erie.
At the end of the day, everyone agrees the main attraction is the food. Eleven-year-old Larry Wetzel, of Erie, who participated in a spaghetti-eating contest, couldn't get enough.
"I was awful hungry. I saw food, and it just spoke to me -- 'eat,'" Wetzel said. "So why not?"

Brabus, one of the major Mercedes-Benz tuners out there, has just unveiled specs of its new Mercedes-Benz SL600-based Brabus SV12 S Biturbo roadster catering to those power-hungry motorists who have an extra buck in their pockets.
According to the German tuning specialist's press release, the monster roadster is capable of jumping from zero to 62 mph in just 4.0 seconds and reaching 124 mph in 10.5 seconds. The vehicle's top speed is electronically limited at 217 mph (350 km/h). Not so many helicopters can fly so fast.
Such a high dynamics has been achieved through various engine modifications, such as increasing its displacement from 5.5 to 6.3 liters, as well as turbocharging the system with two larger turbochargers and more efficient intercoolers.
Of course, Brabus' engineers had to remap the engine's electronics and on-board diagnostics system to make it feel more comfortable near such a monster underhood.
All these enhancements have pushed the V12's power output from humble 517 hp @ 5,000 rpm to much more impressive 730 hp. And the engines pulling power grew from 830 Nm to 1,320 Nm, which, yes, was also electronically limited to "just" 1,100 Nm.
There are also some changes to the SL600's native aerodynamic kit as well as to its interior and wheels, but they are here to make an 'I have more money than you, you, poor Ford driver' statement, so it is not really interesting.

From the Official www.TomCruise.com Blog:
Cameron Diaz, one of Tom Cruise's co-stars in the highly anticipated summer action comedy Knight and Day, is already filming her next movie, Bad Teacher!
Bad Teacher stars Diaz as a crass junior high school teacher who's just been dumped by a man who helped support her financially. To stay afloat, she pursues a fellow teacher romantically, who in turn pits her against another, more popular teacher.
According to MTV News, the film has also casted Jason Segal (I Love You Man), Molly Shannon (Kath & Kim), Justin Timberlake (The Social Network), Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), and Lucy Punch (The Class). Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard) is directing a script written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (Ghostbusters III).
When Knight and Day comes out in June, we'll see Diaz and Cruise hit it off, then become fugitives as they travel the world looking to protect a powerful battery. Watch Cameron and Tom together in the new Knight and Day movie trailer:

Bad calls, blown calls, missed calls and any other kind of call can bring a shudder to any NFL football fan. Fans of the Denver Broncos are no different, but too often it is easily forgotten that these calls can go both ways.
In fact, in Broncos history there is an interesting mix between "good" bad calls and "bad" bad calls that fans can draw upon. Are the Denver Broncos just the most karma balanced team in the league? Most true fans would argue the opposite, but let's take a look back at five of the worst calls in franchise history.
Keep in mind that the only criteria is that these are bad, blown or missed calls in games which the Broncos participated.

About Peter Michael Winery
Appropriately enough, Sir Peter Michael, an Englishman who made his name in electronics, established his vineyard in Sonoma County's Knights Valley. From the moment he purchased the property in 1982, Sir Michael has insisted upon an Old-World approach to New World wine. Terroir is paramount here, along with elegance in favor of overstatement.
1999 Peter Michael Winery Chardonnay Crete d'Or
Producer: Peter Michael Winery
Style: White Wine
Grape Type: Chardonnay
Origin: California
Region: Sonoma
89 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2001
Explosive aromas of gingery spice and exotic dried peach. Dense but unforthcoming, with strong acidity contributing to the impression of dryness. Rather dominated by its spine today. Finishes with very good but not outstanding length.

Do you know your dragonfly nymphs from your great diving beetles? Can you tell the difference between a caddis fly larvae and a water stick insect?
If not, you are missing out on the weird and wonderful world of underwater beasties. They are some of the most amazing creatures to be found at Strumpshaw Fen, but very few visitors actually get to see them (how many people do you know who've seen a water scorpion?).
Pond-dipping is one of the most fun and fascinating activities you can do - and it's not just for the wee ones. If you'd like to give it a go with some expert advice, why not book a place on our pondlife workshop (for adults) on 7 August. If you're bringing children along, you can book on our children's bug hunt on 31 July or pop along to our pond-dipping day on 21 August. If you can't make any of those dates, then hire some pond-dipping equipment from reception on any day of the week.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office bomb squad blew up several fake bombs that looked real at an Apopka landfill Tuesday afternoon.
According to Apopka police, workers came across the devices and called police, who then called the Apopka Fire Department and the bomb squad.
Officials blew up the fake bombs, that were described as a device with a number of cylinders, around 2 p.m. on West Keen Road.
Detectives will continue investigating the devices to determine who made them.
Top video: Are mannequins to blame for recent car crashes?
"The issue right now is that we don't know if there was criminal activity afoot, they improperly disposed of them or wanted to get the kind of response that they got," said Apopka Police Capt. Randy Fernandez. "So, the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Apoka detectives and the FBI are going to look into this particular incident and seeing if there was criminal activity afoot."
Investigators said they are confident they will determine where the devices came from since the load of trash was delivered recently.

Where I stayed
Vero adds: While Marcos was in Morpheus arms, Vero was watching the landscape, and waiting to pass the coastal town Pisco (where the famous drink is from): This town was hit by a terrible earthquake last August. It was like passing a war zone: In Pisco itself there was hardly a house complete. If there was more then one wall standing, the rest of the house wa completed with matts. Very often there was a tent next to it, I assume people where sleeping in those. People had bricks piled up next to their "houses", and some had obviously started to build up their walls themselves, as those walls looked very amateurish. Our host in Cusco told us that a lot of international aid was sent to built up Pisco, but most of the money went into the pockets of the officials. Sadly, it seems to be true. I could spot a couple of Red Cross tents outsise the town, and a huge field of rubble. I first noticed that we are approaching the arthquake zone, when the palmtrees appeared to have a strange hight: they where like half sunken into the earth.
For me to seeing this disaster zone was very moving.


text: The Home Secretary Charles Clarke launched the report, "A Generous Society", at a conference in London yesterday where he outlined new measures to help foster a more philanthropic attitude amongst Britons, including a £9 million funding package.The report sets out the Home Office's plans to work with communities and the volunteer sector to build a society that donates more of its money and time to good causes.Speaking at the conference, Mr Clarke said: "The decision to donate, like the decision to volunteer, is a private one, but we are determined to do all we can to make it as easy as possible for those who want to contribute to do so."In this way we hope to develop a culture where charitable giving is a natural part of everyone's life."The new initiative includes the setting up of charity accounts at secondary schools in England, with pupils encouraged to raise money for good causes by building on a government grant of £500.It will also see the extension of a curriculum programme to primary schools called Giving Nation which inspires young people to take part in charitable and community activity.In addition, the Home Office has announced the launch of a partnership with the Institute of Fundraising which aims to help charities make better use of existing tax-efficient fundraising schemes.According to the report, between two-thirds and three-quarters of the public regularly give to charity, donating over £7 billion a year.However, the total value and frequency of charitable donations has remained unchanged since 1988 despite the introduction of various forms of tax relief.The report pointed out that "the proportion of people giving is declining and that the amounts given have not kept up with increases in national wealth".It also found that despite outstanding acts of individual philanthropy, the poorest in society give a greater proportion of their income to charity than the rich.Mr Clarke said that as the end of 2005 and the Year of the Volunteer approached, it was an opportunity to reflect and build upon the British public's generosity.He said: "In England alone, over 20 million people give their time to support the issues and causes that matter to them, and many more of us give money - collectively adding up to £7 billion every year."In the last 12 months alone, the public response to tragic events such as the southeast Asian earthquake, the Asian tsunami and the attacks on London on 7 July have brought home to many of us the real benefit that can come from the support we provide."

My first experience with air travel was forty four years ago. Hard as it is to believe for journeyers in the friendly skies today, back in the early 70s, it was possible to burst through the airport doors five minutes before your flight (provided you had a ticket), sprint past the counter, hustle up to the gate, and get on board while the engines were running. No carry-on baggage check, no metal detector, no shoe removal. In fact, it was a contest among frequent business travelers. How late can you pull up to the doors at O'Hare and still make the last flight to ABE?
Seats on the plane were bigger and spaced farther apart back then. There's a certain irony in the fact that I was thinner in the 70s and didn't need that extra space. Today, my chubby self is crammed into a smaller seat.
Another nicety were the paper or cloth (depending on the airline) head rest napkins. These were changed between flights to ensure that the back of your head was not exposed to the hair products left behind by your seat's previous occupant. Bear in mind that "big" hair was the fashion in the 70s. Both female and male passengers deposited liberal amounts of hair spray on those poor head rest napkins.
Everyone complained about airline food back then, but at least we had it. Remarkably, the early morning flight from ABE to Pittsburgh served a hot breakfast. Since the plane was only in the air for 35 minutes and the flight was usually packed, those microwaved sausages wrapped in pancakes literally flew from the galley to your seat and back again. Your morning coffee didn't have time to cool before you were descending into Pittsburgh.
Hardest to believe is that there were no restrictions on smoking while in the air. Invariably, the tiny little ashtray in your seat arm was packed with butts. As soon as the smoking lamp was lit, about half the people on board would light up AND NO ONE CARED. On longer flights, the cabin air would be a bluish haze. And the average life expectancy today is five years longer than it was back in the 70s. I wonder why.
As convenient as it was to have no pre-flight security, as sanitary as it was to have clean head rests, as good as it was to have in-flight food, It is worth it not to choke on second-hand smoke for a five hour flight.

Quebec filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée's movie Dallas Buyers Club has received six Oscar nominations, incuding four major categories.
The film is in the running for the top prize of Best Picture as well as Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Original Screenplay.
Actor Matthew McConaughey was nominated for his role as the lead in the film as Ron Woodroof, a real-life heterosexual electrician/rodeo rider who found out he was HIV-positive and turned to smuggling AIDS drugs from Mexico.
Actor Jared Leto was named for his supporting role as a drag queen who enters a business partnership with Woodroof.
The film was also nominated in the categories of Best Film Editing and Make-Up and Hairstyling.
"This is a beautiful way to conclude the tremendous adventure of Dallas Buyers Club," Vallée said in a statement.
"My collaborators and I have had an amazing time making this film. Today we all share a great sense of pride, that of having had the opportunity to tell a story that's both difficult and beautiful, which has touched the hearts of many."
This is the first Oscar nomination for Vallée, the Montreal-born director of such films as the acclaimed coming-of-age tale "C.R.A.Z.Y." which was Canada's submission for Best Foreign Language Film in 2005 but was not nominated.

[QUOTE=Alex Good;935132]When scientists say that our brains are becoming more efficient they're just comforting themselves. There is no possible way that they could actually know that we've maintained brain function while decreasing energy expenditure. It's far more likely that the lack of essential fatty acids in the diet (the agricultural revolution likely being the culprit) has resulted in an inability to properly grow the brain to it's full potential. Kind of like how people got shorter.
I'd be interested in seeing whether a kid raised on paleo/primal foods would have that bigger brain.[/QUOTE]
I would think that the kid's mother would also have to eat that way, from conception onwards...

I guess when you consider the fact that epigenetic changes can persist for several generations the kid's grandparents should eat properly as well for the study to be valid.

'Sondheim,' 'La Cage' also winners
Broadway play "Red" picked up a pair of Drama League Awards — which is actually something of a feat, given the league's loosely structured nominations list that tapped, for example, nine play nominees and more than 50 performer candidates for the single thesping honor.
John Logan-penned play about painter Mark Rothko, "Red" scored in the top play category while Alfred Molina, who stars as Rothko, took the performer award.
"Red" also did well with the Tony nominations earlier this month, racking up seven nods, the most of any new play on the list.
But for the new tuner award, the league went in a direction different from any potential Tony outcome. The trophy went to "Sondheim on Sondheim," a revue of the composer's work that didn't make the Tony cut in the new musical category.
Musical revival laurel went to "La Cage aux Folles," another strong Tony contender with 11 noms, while play revival went to "A View From the Bridge."
Awards were handed out at an annual lunchtime ceremony, held Friday and co-hosted this year by Vanessa Williams, who appears in "Sondheim," and her "Ugly Betty" co-star Michael Urie.
Also doled out were previously announced non-competitive awards, including a musical theater achievement honor for Nathan Lane, a directing laurel for Kenny Leon and a unique contribution nod for Macy's Parade and Entertainment Group.
Distinguished Performance Award — Alfred Molina, "Red"
Distinguished Production of a Musical — "Sondheim on Sondheim"
Distinguished Production of a Play — "Red"
Distinguished Revival of a Musical — "La Cage aux Folles"
Distinguished Revival of a Play — "A View from the Bridge"
Also, the following non-competitive awards were presented today, aspreviously announced:
Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre Award — Nathan Lane
Julia Hansen Award for Excellence in Directing — Kenny Leon
Unique Contribution to the Theatre Award — Macy's Parade and EntertainmentGroup
Co-Hosted by Vanessa Williams and Michael Urie, the 76th Annual Drama League Awards Ceremony and Luncheon was held on Friday, May 21, 2010 in the Broadway Ballroom of the Marriott Marquis Hotel. For a complete list of nominees, visit http://www.DramaLeague.org

Her arm was blue, her shoulder sore and her pinkie finger broken, but her spirits weren't, despite being robbed of a wallet holding what the petite 93-year-old woman described as the best picture of her late husband.
"I wanted that wallet," she told the Daily News last night. "It had the only decent picture of my husband. It was a special [wallet]. A good one that he had given me."
She was the latest victim in a string of four robberies, all on Mondays, since July 19, when the assailants attempted to rob a mom pushing her 3-month infant in a stroller into her Center City high-rise condominium building.

Coming in from the rain one evening in Geneva, food editor Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez was served a warm bowl of comfort, beautifully smooth and gently suggestive of leeks. Her version is velvety but not at all heavy; dolloped with cool, billowy cream, the soup coaxes out the vegetable's most sensuous side.
Leave a Review
I had a bag of frozen leeks from Trader Joes and didn't know what to do with them and then found this delicious soup. I had all the ingredients except 1/2 of white wine so I used Sherry cooking wine instead. It turned out perfectly. This is a great comforting soup for a winter day. I loved the recipe.
Amazing! I used shallots instead of the onion, and 4 large leeks (it's what I had at hand) but it was an amazing soup, my family enjoyed it quite a bit, and I will definitely be making it again. It's got a subtle, yet satisfying, flavour, and as someone that can't handle too much dairy it was just the right amount of creamy.
This soup is delicious and not too hard to make, considering the number of fresh ingredients. I didn't have as many leeks as it called for, so I added more chopped potato. I also added a smidgen of chopped jalapeno (What can I say? I'm from Texas.) to give it a little kick. I like the fact that the cream is a topping; that means the soup itself is relatively low fat and low calorie.
This recipe is delicious as written. I substituted olive oil for some of the butter; used an immersion blender to purée; and added a spoon of crème fraîche (because I had it) instead of the cream. Hearty and satisfying on a cold night. Will make again.
I make this recipe a few times annually because I always have gardenstuffs to use up. I harvested the last of things this past week now that a hard freeze is here so I had abundant celeriac to deal with. I used the celeriac (about two fist size) instead of potato & I have so many shallots from this year that I used those instead of the onion. I used the leaves from the celeriac plant instead of parsley. The very first time I made this recipe I did the flour roux, but I usually omit that part since I personally don't need it. It's more appropriate (in richness) for a holiday meal. I usually use olive oil instead of butter because I feel like it adds a nice texture once the blending starts. The creme fraiche dollop does add dimension, but it's also not necessary for enjoyment. Don't shy away from trying other soft, non-oily cheeses that would dissolve nicely into the soup though. I threw some quark on one time & it was lovely. The most important ingredient is really the wine. If the wine is nice, the flavor will be divine.
Absolutely delicious! I didn't have any parsley but followed it to the T and everyone loved it!
Delicious! I cut down the water and didn't bother with the cream. Yum!
Delicious! Made a few changes -- I only had 3 leeks, so added 8 chopped scallions to make up for the leek shortage. Used low sodium chicken broth only, instead of water, but included the wine, of course. Substituted parsely with thyme. I'll try it cold, tomorrow.
Delicious...smooth, rich, creamy and very satisfying. I omitted the cream (didn't need it), and garnished with some fresh snipped chives. I think next time, i'd leave the carrot out...while I liked the sweetness it added, I prefer the more traditional, whiter color without it. Great base from which to experiment...I can see substituting sweet onion for the regular onion, adding a shallot or two, and definitely keep the chive garnish.
This soup is perfection. Rich, balanced, a little unusual. I used thyme instead of parsley, just delicioius!

BAY CITY, MI — A 68-year-old Bay City man has pleaded no contest to bludgeoning his female roommate with a T-ball bat.
Harold L. Nielsen on Thursday, May 9, appeared before Bay County District Judge Dawn A. Klida, who acted as a Circuit Court judge for the hearing. Nielson pleaded no contest to single counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, a four-year felony, and assault and battery, a 93-day misdemeanor.
In exchange for Nielsen's pleas, Bay County Assistant Prosecutor Barbara Hayward agreed to dismiss a charge of assault with intent to cause harm less than murder and unrelated counts of furnishing alcohol to minors. By pleading no contest, Nielsen did not state his guilt, but he will be treated as guilty for purposes of sentencing.
Nielsen expressed difficulty hearing in court, compelling Klida to loudly address him. She eventually had Nielsen approach the bench in an effort to explain things to him more clearly.
When Klida asked Nielsen if anyone had been threatening him into taking the plea, he replied in the negative, but added his fellow inmates at the jail have been harassing him.
Nielsen's charges result from an incident that occurred the night of Dec. 11 in his apartment in the 400 block of South Warner Street in Bay City. Officers responded to an assault complaint at the residence and were greeted at the door by a pantless Nielsen, court records indicate.
Officers entered the apartment and saw Nielsen's roommate, 53-year-old Donna M. Sikora, sitting on a bed, covered in blood that was seeping from a head wound. Sikora appeared dazed and intoxicated to the officers and had difficulty answering their questions, according to court records.
Police say Sikora made statements that she believed herself to be in Los Angeles and to have stabbed someone to death. Sikora was combative enough that officers had to handcuff her so they and medical personnel could remove her from the residence, court records show.
Officers noted that several items in the apartment's kitchen were broken and they found a bloody and dented aluminum T-ball bat. A witness told officers that Sikora was tearing up the kitchen and throwing things around when Nielsen began beating her with the bat.
Questioned by police, Nielsen was unable to give information in a coherent manner, appearing intoxicated, court records indicate. He said Sikora attacked him with a knife, though he bore no wounds, court records show.
He told officers he hit Sikora with the bat when she started trashing the kitchen.
Police arrested Nielsen at the scene. A doctor determined Sikora had been struck seven to 10 times in the head. She developed a large hematoma and had multiple contusions, as well as defensive wounds on her hands, court records show.
The doctor told police he believed Sikora's wounds indicated the assailant intended to kill her, court records show.
Nielsen's sentencing by a Circuit Court judge is pending.

Northeast African Studies invites submissions for a special issue on Transitional Justice in the Context of Somalia to be guest edited by Dr. Rahma Abdulkadir, Research Assistant Professor of Political Science, Division of Social Science, New York University Abu Dhabi & Ms. Fowsia Abdulkadir, Doctoral Candidate, School of Canadian Studies, Carleton University. This special issue is targeted for Fall 2013 or Spring 2014
Among the questions this special issue seeks to address are:
How can transitional justice be achieved in Somalia as it is today (i.e. there has been no functioning government in Somalia for twenty years)?
Who/what outside of the state (central or local) body of authority would have legitimacy to engage in processes of conflict resolution in general and in addressing crimes against humanity in particular? How would such agent(s) of change operate? What will be the benefits of and challenges to having such actors?
What would be the role(s) of the Sharia, Xeer (Somali Customary Law) and International Human Rights Law in the processes of creating conflict resolution mechanisms in general and in addressing crimes against humanity in Somalia?
Different case studies (e.g. Rwanda and Former Yugoslavia) have shown that international war crimes tribunals can have significant positive contribution towards reconciliation and peace building, even as such international tribunals have their critics. Is there a need for an international war crimes tribunal for Somalia? How would an international tribunal for war crimes positively contribute to post-conflict reconstruction in this war torn country?
Given the Somali population's experiences with foreign interventions in Somali affairs over the past two decades, what do Somalis think about the risks and advantages of international involvement in the process of reconciliation and transitional justice?
The deadline for abstract submission is Nov. 1, 2012. Full papers must be submitted by January 30, 2013.
Please email abstracts to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

10 Tips For Traveling with Toddlers (14 Month Edition)Emily Malone
I know there are a lot of posts and articles out there offering best tips for traveling with kids. The thing is, in the past fourteen months I've learned that "kids" is an umbrella term that encompasses so many different ages, stages, and characteristics. I'm pretty sure I wrote a "travel tips" post over on Babble Baby, when Cullen was just a few months old. I probably recommended traveling with the Boppy, using the Ergo for chest naps, and breastfeeding during takeoff and landing. But those tips are of no use to someone with a one-year-old.
Kids change, and so the tips must change as well. We just returned home from a last minute trip out to Indiana to, sadly, be with family after the death of a loved one. I usually prepare for trips a week or two in advance; making packing lists, doing endless laundry, and even buying some new in-flight entertainment. This was much different. With a day's notice, we just had to wing it. And of course, it turned out just fine.
Traveling with toddler is always scary, but here are 10 tips to help ease the journey…
Try not to stress 1 of 10Easier said than done, right? Traveling with a toddler is scary. It's like having a loud, grumpy bomb with you - just waiting to go off when you least expect it. But you know that going into it, so relax and just do your best to get through it, and maybe even enjoy it. Expect your toddler to cry or do something annoying at least a few times. Have reasonable expectations. And be very apologetic to fellow travelers if things go south.
Embrace the window 2 of 10I always book myself a window seat when I travel with Cullen. The aisle is too distracting, and everyone hates the middle, right? The window provides entertainment, privacy, and something to lean on during naps.
Try to find an empty seat 3 of 10We lucked out on this latest flight, with empty seats next to us on both legs - a true travel miracle! That extra foot of space is priceless once you're up in the air. If you can't afford to shell out for an extra seat (if they are under 2), ask the flight attendants if there are any empty seats you can sit near. In my experience, staff are very happy to accommodate if they can - you just have to ask!
Enjoy the uninterrupted snuggle time 4 of 10How often do you have several hours of just sitting with your toddler on your lap these days? Now that we're done breastfeeding, these lap snuggles are a rarity. Ignore the loud drink cart and the unidentified smell coming from the seat behind you. Give extra kisses, take a few deep whiffs of that smelly baby hair, and enjoy a few hours of being unplugged together.
Wipe down E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G 5 of 10I am not a germaphobe mom, I promise. But something about airports and travel really makes me want to travel in a plastic bubble suit. Cullen's first instinct as soon as we board is to touch and grab absolutely everything within reach. I start each flight by grabbing a few baby wipes, and doing some preventative cleaning. You never know who was sitting there an hour ago, and I'm not risking any of us getting the flu.
Travel with toys 6 of 10This is a no brainer. Since space will be limited, try to pick things that have multiple uses. I brought some of Cullen's favorite books that have removable pieces, along with a few toy cars, and stacking cups. These kept him pretty busy!
Pack TONS of food! 7 of 10What do we do when we're bored? We EAT, right? Well traveling is boring, and snacking helps pass the time. For this flight, I packed peanut butter and banana sandwiches, a flip cup of sliced grapes, mini carrot raisin muffins, and several fruit and veggie pouches. Make sure you wipe down those little hands before snack time!
Utilize what you have for entertainment 8 of 10Toys and books are great, but things like keys, sunglasses, chapstick, and a wallet are just as fun (if not more!). Cullen got a good kick out of taking my sunglasses on and off over and over again.
Plan around naps and sleep 9 of 10As Cullen has gotten older, it's been more difficult for him to sleep on airplanes. He's too big and awkward to comfortably sleep on my chest at this age. We learned the hard way that it's too hard for him to have nap time fall right in the middle of a flight. One thing that does work though? Flying through bedtime. His sleep is deeper then, so we try to book evening flights around 6:30-7pm, and hope he snoozes the whole way there!
Embrace technology 10 of 10I know technology will be a big part of Cullen's life soon enough, but I'm in no rush to expose it to him in high doses just yet. With that said, all rules go out the window at 10,000 feet. I have a number of children's apps on our iPad, and they keep him entertained for long stretches of time - priceless.
