What Kind of Sicko Cheers When QB is Hurt?
As someone who has survived the Bay Area earthquake, a clogged artery, two head-on highway collisions and a crazed baseball manager who set off a nationwide storm by calling me ``a (bleeping) fag,'' I can say those experiences were minor compared to the disturbed creature known as The Angry Fan.
Truly, hell hath no fury like a sports fan scorned. He will locate you on Twitter and threaten your life. He will hunt you down in a stadium and scream obscenities at you. He will leave you a voice mail on your office phone and say, ``I will blow your skull to bits, I'LL DO IT DAMN IT!!!'' And those are just some things that a sports columnist deals with in a place like Chicago.
Matt Schaub has been having a horrendous season for the Houston Texans, a team whose Super Bowl aspirations have melted to goo. As the quarterback who was supposed to engineer championship glory, Schaub instead became a turnover machine who somehow made NFL history of a dubious sort: In four straight games, he threw interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. He should have been demoted after his first pass on ``Sunday Night Football'' was Pick-6'd in San Francisco, but Texans coach Gary Kubiak, not wanting to break Schaub's fading confidence, chose to start him Sunday at home against St. Louis.
What Kubiak underestimated was the level of anti-Schaub hostility in Houston. He should have known better after an incident at Schaub's home last week, with an NFL security official confirming that an individual pulled into the driveway and shouted obscenities. Schaub's teammates responded in kind, with tight end Owen Daniels calling it ``childish, pathetic'' and linebacker Brian Cushing saying, ``I don't think that guy would be around much longer'' if he'd showed up in Cushing's driveway. Meanwhile, a Houston restaurant added a new item -- a Pick Six Burger -- to its menu, offering the sandwich with a choice of six toppings. And, oh, there were the tailgating fans outside Reliant Stadium burning Schaub's jersey a couple of weeks back.
Incredibly, it was only the beginning of a disgusting story.
With the Texans trailing 31-6 late in the third quarter of their latest nightmare, Schaub was sacked by Chris Long and suffered a right ankle injury. Though he hadn't played poorly or thrown an interception -- his teammates were committing the turnovers on this day -- the sight of Schaub down on the turf was enough for some Texans fans to turn despicable and start cheering. When backup T.J. Yates entered, the cheering grew louder, though Yates would extend the Pick-6 streak to five games and trigger thundering boos when his interception was returned 98 yards for a score by Rams rookie Alec Ogletree. The final score was 38-13, the fourth straight loss for a team many of us had projected as an AFC champion.
The chances of a turnaround aren't good, not when the players are firing back at the fans, per ESPN.com.
``Disgusting,'' left tackle Duane Brown said.
``Barbaric,'' Cushing said.
``For all the guy's done for the city and team ... that's straight up disrespectful,'' Yates said.
Said star receiver Andre Johnson: ``It's bad when members of the other team are saying that's messed up that they would do something like that. It just shows no class. It wasn't all the fans. But those are the same people that you're out somewhere with your family and you tell them they can't have an autograph right now, those are the same people that tell you you're rude. ... You don't cheer about nobody being injured -- I don't care who it is. Guys lay their bodies on the line out there on that field. Some guys get injuries and it affects them their whole lives. To cheer about something like that, it just shows they have no class."
No lives, actually.
It's debatable whether Schaub, who has problems with his entire lower leg, has a long-term future with the Texans. His turnover crisis isn't new -- he has been killing them with critical mistakes much of his career -- and the team can escape the $69.7 million extension signed last year without much salary-cap damage and no future guaranteed money. All the Texans have to do is cut him after June 1, and by then, don't be shocked if they're grooming a new starter -- Yates or local college favorite Case Keenum. Also don't be surprised if they try to mend fences with fans by drafting Johnny Manziel, who does his on- and off-field damage up the road at Texas A&M.
For now, you just feel sorry for Schaub -- and wonder what would possess an idiot to cheer when he's hurt and in pain. ``We appreciate you loyal fans and the fans that stick by us; I want to put that out there first," Brown said. ``But for the fans that cheered when he got hurt, that's disgusting. You can feel how you want about him as a player, but this is his livelihood. This is how he provides for his family. When a man goes down and he's not able to get up and you're cheering, that's bad. It's all bad. You don't know what's wrong with him at that point. That could be the last play of his career. You don't know that. And for you to cheer and applaud that, I have no words for that."
I do.
Grow up.
And seek professional help.

Obama warns Russia over military moves in Crimea
SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine -- Armed men described as Russian troops took control of key airports in Crimea on Friday and Russian transport planes flew into the strategic region, Ukrainian officials said, an ominous sign of the Kremlin's iron hand in Ukraine. President Barack Obama bluntly warned Moscow "there will be costs" if it intervenes militarily.
The sudden arrival of men in military uniforms patrolling key strategic facilities prompted Ukraine to accuse Russia of a "military invasion and occupation" -- a claim that brought an alarming new dimension to the crisis.
In a hastily arranged statement delivered from the White House, Obama called on Russia to respect the independence and territory of Ukraine and not try to take advantage of its neighbor, which is undergoing political upheaval.
"Just days after the world came to Russia for the Olympic Games, that would invite the condemnation of nations around the world," Obama said. "The United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine."
Earlier, at the United Nations, the Ukrainian ambassador, Yuriy Sergeyev, said that 10 Russian transport aircraft and 11 attack helicopters had arrived in Crimea illegally, and that Russian troops had taken control of two airports in Crimea.
He described the gunmen posted outside the two airports as Russian armed forces as well as "unspecified" units.
"Some of them identified themselves as Russians. We know specifically some of the units," Sergeyev said. He also said the Russians had captured the main air traffic control center.
Serhiy Astakhov, a spokesman for the Ukrainian border service, said eight Russian transport planes landed in the Crimean peninsula in southern Ukraine with unknown cargo.
He told the Associated Press that the Il-76 planes arrived unexpectedly and were given permission to land, one after the other, at Gvardeiskoye air base, north of the regional capital, Simferopol. Astakhov said the people in the planes refused to identify themselves and waved off customs officials, saying they didn't require their services.
Russia has kept silent on claims of military intervention, even as it maintained its hard-line stance on protecting ethnic Russians in Crimea, a territory that was once the crown jewel in Russian and then Soviet empires and has played a symbolic role in Russia's national identity.
Ukraine's fugitive president, meanwhile, resurfaced in Russia to deliver a defiant condemnation of what he called a "bandit coup."
Appearing for the first time since fleeing Ukraine last week, Viktor Yanukovych struck a tone both of bluster and caution -- vowing to "keep fighting for the future of Ukraine," while ruling out seeking Russian military help.
"Any military action in this situation is unacceptable," Yanukovych told reporters in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, near the border with Ukraine. Then, seeking to make a firm point, he tried -- and failed -- to break a pen.
Earlier Friday, AP journalists in Crimea spotted a convoy of nine Russian armored personnel carriers on a road between the port city of Sevastopol, where Russia has a naval base, and the regional capital. Later in the day, the airspace was closed over the peninsula, apparently due to tensions at the two airports.

What is in this article?:
- Mexican poultry meat producers accuse U.S. producers of "dumping" chicken meat (selling below U.S. selling prices) into the Mexican market. The Mexican government has proposed import duties of 63-130 percent on leg quarters. The duties will force up the price of chicken in Mexico to the benefit of Mexican producers who brought the case to the government.
Open border
The open border between the U.S. and Mexico has not prevented the Mexican chicken industry from expanding. Production increased by 50 percent from 2000 to 2012 to 2.9 million metric tons. Consumption grew even faster requiring almost 600,000 metric tons of imports in 2011 – 250,000 metric tons of leg quarters and 328,000 metric tons of whole chickens and other products.
The author analyzed USDA market price data and concluded that whole chickens on a per pound basis in the U.S. cost 68 percent more than leg quarters. This percentage is about the same as the lowest proposed import duty. The duty will make it prohibitively expensive to import leg quarters, which is the chicken meat item preferred by many consumers in northern Mexico, and result in more imports of whole chickens.
This trade case on leg quarters is not the first such disagreement on chicken meat. In July 2003 the two governments signed a temporary safeguard Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) for chicken leg quarters imports to Mexico that expired at the end of 2007 when the transition period for NAFTA ended. The safeguard TRQ was not required under NAFTA, but was a compromise that reduced tensions in the transition period. Chicken leg imports from the U.S. under the TRQ were 173,000 metric tons in 2007 and grew to 256,000 metric tons in 2010. Before 2010 ended the Mexican chicken producers were complaining about imports, and the Mexican government launched its investigation on antidumping in February 2011.
Media reports last month indicated that private talks on ending the dispute broke off without an agreement. The U.S. industry tried to negotiate another multi-year TRQ that would maintain much of the market without the need for expensive trade litigation. About the same time, 16 U.S. Senators wrote U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk arguing that the Mexican government's analysis was flawed using average cost of production and assuming that all parts of the chicken should be priced the same. The dispute is now in the hands of Mexican officials. They could have immediately imposed tariffs and are expected to take action within the next month.
Exports of chicken leg quarters from the U.S. to Mexico should be a non-issue. The economics of two-way trade clearly indicate that leg quarters would naturally move from the U.S. to Mexico. Fiddling with numbers to 'prove' dumping makes a mockery of NAFTA and the WTO agreement. The Mexican government needs to reject the efforts of domestic chicken producers to deny consumers the choice to purchase products that best meet their needs at affordable prices.
There is another approach to the issue that the U.S. government and chicken industry must also recognize. The Mexican industry could produce the whole birds and export breasts to the U.S. while retaining the leg quarters for their domestic market. That has not happened because of concerns about quality and food safety. Exotic Newcastle Disease (END) and Avian Influenza (AI) are the two big disease issues in poultry trade. NAFTA and WTO rules require the regionalization of a country when possible for trade-related sanitary and phytosanitary standards. This allows exports from regions within a country that are free of an animal disease even if the disease is present in other parts of the country. Mexico is committed to developing export markets and improving its production and processing capabilities. The U.S. has to consider the possibility of imports from Mexico
The entire antidumping mentality, in all industries, not just agriculture, is due for reconsideration. It is included in the WTO Doha Round agenda, but was not given much attention when serious discussions were active a few years ago. Antidumping actions are one of the factors slowing down trade.
While U.S. chicken meat producers have a stake in trade of leg quarters, Mexican consumers have an even bigger stake as all chicken prices will increase and some consumers will have to eliminate chicken from their diets. NAFTA should facilitate trade, not prolong past trade inhibiting practices.

College Basketball's Top 10 Unruly Fanbases
December 19th, 2011| by Lost Lettermen
The crazed environment in college basketball arenas is what separates college basketball from the NBA. Of course, sometimes fans can go over the line with their chants and overall behavior. With that in mind, we examine the top 10 most-unruly fanbases in the country as a follow-up to our Top 10 most unruly college football fanbases.
10. Wisconsin
Badger fans, legendary for making Camp Randall Stadium one of the toughest places to play in the country, used to chuck marshmallows with coins in them. They are just as passionate about basketball – just ask Jared Sullinger, who claimed on Twitter that he had been spit on during then-No. 1 Ohio State's loss in Madison last February. Why are we not surprised that Wisconsin – a noted party school – also provides some of college hoops' most-maniacal supporters?
9. Indiana
Indiana basketball has been irrelevant the last couple years, but it certainly put itself back on the map with a win over No. 1 Kentucky on Dec. 10. Unfortunately, the fans also put themselves back on the map as an unruly bunch. Whether it was almost trampling a Playboy model, making fun of Anthony Davis' unibrow on national TV and acting pretty much like animals.
8. Kansas State
K-State's Bramlage Coliseum is known as the "Octagon of Doom" for a reason – the fans are complete animals who mimic the personality of head coach Frank Martin. They target Kansas, which K-State fans refer to as the "Chickenhawks," and used to toss live chickens on the court to mock them prompting PETA to step in. Like Martin, the best way to describe KSU fans is angry.
7. Kentucky
Kentucky fans are known for being the most rabid fan base in the country. They travel in packs around the country and always seem to be dressed in blue. But they can be a crazy bunch as well – showing their hate for Rick Pitino, who now coaches rival Louisville, and putting the heat on championship-winning coach Tubby Smith and Billy Gillispie when they struggled. Prospects who pick another school to play for do so at their own peril. Heck, not even Yahoo writer Pat Forde is welcome in Lexington. Local police better brace themselves if UK wins it all this year.
6. Oregon
The horror story of Kevin Love's return to Oregon in 2008 is all one needs to know about how Ducks fans got a spot on this list. Sports Illustrated reported that UCLA's Love, an Oregon native, had to cancel his cell phone because of death threats on his voice mail when he returned for a game in Eugene. Other reports surfaced that said fans called Love's mother, grandmother and 13-year-old sister "whores." Stan Love, Kevin's father who is an Oregon basketball legend, said he'd never come back. Way to go, Ducks.

PLAINFIELD — A 16-year-old Plainfield boy and a known city gang member, were arrested Friday morning and charged in connection with a March killing.
Jordan Camacho, 18, a known member of the G-Shine set of the Bloods street gang was arrested at his home Friday, and police also charged a 16-year-old youth, according to the Union County Prosecutor's Office.
They are charged with shooting and killing Nelson Santos-Betances at the intersection of 3rd and Monroe Street in Plainfield on March 21.
Camacho is being held at the Union County Jail in lieu of $1 million bail. The juvenile was taken to Jamesburg Youth Correctional Facility in Middlesex County.
This is the third homicide arrest of an alleged G-Shine gang member in two days. Thursday prosecutors arrested Ishaq "O'shist" Saleem and Haleem "Holla" McCoy, both of Plainfield, on charges of killing Keith "Duca" Hathaway in November. Prosecutors would not say whether the incidents were related.

Hang laundry, photos, pictures and more with these Coffee Colored Vintage Clothespins. This is a great way to use up some lace that you have lying around the house and a cute and clever way to hang artwork around your home. The coffee helps give these clothespins a nice vintage hue so they're great for displaying old photos of family or hanging precious mementos for all to admire and cherish.
- Clothespins
- Antique White spray paint
- Folger's Instant Coffee
- Various lace scraps
I decided to use up some of my Antique White spray paint on some of my clothespins. This just toned down the shiny silver hardware on the pins. I didn't worry about coating them completely.
Some of the other pins got a coffee dye treatment. I used Folger's crystals and let them soak about a half hour. After draining, I dried them in the oven at 250 degrees very briefly.
Some of my lace got a coffee dying treatment too. After draining, I patted it dry with a towel and ironed it.
I attached the lace to the clothespins with a hot glue gun. I trimmed the ends with scissors to make everything nice and neat. That's all there is to it!
- If some of you are wondering what to do with lace clothespins, I've seen them used as place card holders at weddings or other events. They would also look cute used to attach vintage photos and postcards to old wires stretched across a frame.

Systemwide Events Calendar
Dead Sea Scrolls LectureMarch 13, 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Manoa Campus, Art Auditorium (Art 132)
"The Archaeology of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls" Dr. Jodi Magness, University of North Carolina.
In 1947, a Bedouin boy accidentally discovered ancient scrolls dating to about the time of Jesus in a cave on the NW shore of the Dead Sea. The remains of over 900 different scrolls were eventually found in 11 caves in the vicinity containing Biblical books and literature describing the beliefs and practices of the Jewish sect that deposited the scrolls in the caves. Many scholars identify this sect with the ancient Essenes described by Flavius Josephus, Philo Judaeus and Pliny the Elder. At least some of the members of this group lived at the site of Qumran which is adjacent to the caves where the scrolls were found. This slide-illustrated lecture focuses on the archaeology of Qumran, which was excavated by Roland de Vaux in the 1950's, and the connection between the site and the scrolls from the cave.

On the heels of its 38-14 win last weekend over East Stroudsburg, Shippensburg will look to continue its early season roll when it travels to Millersville in PSAC East showdown (7 p.m. kickoff at Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium).
The Red Raiders (3-1, 1-0) held the ball for over 22 minutes of the second half, while the defense limited ESU to 250 total yards and produced seven sacks.
Senior split end Mike Harris is coming off a huge game in which he hauled in five catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns, while redshirt senior linebacker Josh Simmons came away with three sacks.
The Marauders (1-3, 0-1), meanwhile,are licking their wounds after a 63-10 home drubbing by West Chester. It was the second time in as many seasons that Millersville gave up 63 points in a game.
In local Division III action Saturday, Dickinson and its high octane offense will try to stay unbeaten when it hosts McDaniel in a Centennial Conference clash. The Red Devils (3-0, 1-0) edged Franklin and Marshall 45-43 in Lancaster last week thanks to 283 total yards from QB Ian Mitchell and a last-second field goal from Gordon Craig. ... Susquehanna (2-1) looks to bounce back from last week's non-conference loss to Lycoming when it opens Liberty League play against Hobart. ... Gettysburg (0-3, 0-1) will try to shake its early season rust in a Centennial Conference home tussle with Muhlenberg. ... Lebanon Valley, off to its first 3-0 start since 1979, is off this week and will host Delaware Valley in its Middle Atlantic Conference opener on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 1 p.m.

1 hurt when truck hits building in Franklin
FRANKLIN -- A man was flown to an Erie hospital after police said the truck he was driving struck a Franklin building as he was fleeing from police.
The man's identity wasn't released by state police at Franklin. Police said he was flown to UPMC Hamot by medical helicopter.
Police said the man was driving a truck that he had taken early today from Cooperstown in Venango County. Police said they attempted a traffic stop and the driver fled into Franklin, where the truck struck a building at 13th and Liberty streets.

We had a transportation director who gave permission over our school system radios for a contractor to continue using their bus when a stop arm light and the over head front and rear red lights were not working properly. Since this happened back in Dec on the 11th, 2008, on a dark morning, the approaching motorist would have had a difficult time seeing this was a school bus in the dark. School board and administration did little of nothing about it. This was not the first or last bad decision by this director. The school board's attorney and the school's attorney eventually reviewed the issues. Matters are handled internally sometime. Yes, things did improve even though there were several board members and administrators not very happy at all that the director was submiitted in a write up to the school board for safety violations in print in, Federal, State, and local statutes of written law codes. Bottom line as a school bus trainer appointed by the past school boards, I always stand squarely on the side of safety for the students. I trained this transportation director. No where in his training procedures did I instruct that it was fine to give permission for someone else to operate an unsafe school bus on the roadways while loading and unloading students. As was mentioned the issues ended up with attorney reviews. No only were the students put at risk, the school's liability in a Court room was also put in harm. Yes, malfeasance, misfeasance, and non-feasance came into play since at the beginning, school board members and administrators tried to cover over the Dec. 11, 2008 issue, yet they could not since there were hundreds of witnesses when it was broadcasted over the school system radio system. What does this issue have to do with Laws not being passed? Well, when a director, and a school bus driver, who both have licenses and certifications, and had demonstarted the basic knowledge reqired to obtain those such licenses and certifications through the St

I always appreciate resources that can be used for different ages and this is definitely one of them! I begin by letting Sophia, my 4 year old, play with the cash register. She LOVES playing and pretending, so this was an immediate success.
I started by having her sort the bills and coins. It was great for coin and bill identification.
Then I had Audrey, my 7 year old, make a sign for School Supplies and write the cost of each item.
Then I gave her some money to go shopping. If you notice, some of her prices are a bit expensive :)
Dot Markers… $2.00 (EACH!)
Then she started shopping...
For example, she wanted to buy 2 pairs of scissors for $1.45 each. She didn't have the exact change, so it was a great opportunity for me to show her how to make change.
The lady at the cash register was very helpful and managed to give us the correct change...
I absolutely LOVE this approach to learning money! LOVE it!
Audrey was having difficulty figuring out how much change she should get if she gave Sophia a $5 bill. I suggested that she ask Sophia for five $1 bills in exchange for her $5 bill. Sophia had to count out five $1 bills which was the perfect type of math for her. I couldn't have prepared a better lesson for the girls!
I also had Sophia work on coin identification by asking her for 2 quarters or 3 dimes. She hasn't mastered her money yet, but we are excited to work on it!

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - A new solar energy exhibit is currently on display at Sci-Quest, Hands-on Science Center that helps visitors understand the different forms of alternative energy.
Dubbed "Solar Racer," the exhibit was built by University of Alabama in Huntsville undergraduate students and will be a permanent display at the facility. Sci-Quest partnered with UAH students and the Tennessee Valley Chapter of Women in Defense for the exhibit, which will support the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Energy Station kiosk.
"Solar Racer" shows how solar energy cells can be harnessed and used to power race cars. At the exhibit, visitors will see a race track model with two cars powered by solar panels that gather energy from electrons. The goal of the exhibit is to raise public awareness about renewable energy and educate users on the various ways TVA generates and transmits electricity. Alternative power sources such as solar energy, hydro power and wind power will be explained via a touch screen and other hands-on exhibits.
The UAH students responsible for the conception, design and build of this project are Sean Sheehy, Eddie McAbee, Nicholas Jones, Tony Higginbotham and Benjamin Hester. The exhibit was a part of their senior project in Dr. Christina Carmen's mechanical and aerospace design class at UAH.
To learn more about the exhibit or for more information about Sci-Quest, call 256-837-0606 or visit sci-quest.org.

The past few decades have seen great change in the capabilities of medical care. The next decade will emphasize great change in its delivery, driven mainly by the necessity of containing costs presently running at more than 13% of the gross national product. The current perception is that two of the principal causes of the excessive cost of medical care in the United States are the price of new technology and the fact that much of the care rendered is by specialists. In fact, most surgical care can be rendered by general surgeons, and the coming changes will revitalize the demand for and self-esteem of general surgeons. Managed care will recognize this by using general surgeons and keeping patients "down on the farm," a line drawn from the World War I era song entitled "How can you keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paree?" But some things

Promoting the love of reading in its young students, Loyalsock Valley Elementary School recently held a program in partnership with the Montoursville Area High School varsity football team.
Jo Ellen Shearer, reading specialist and Title 1 reading teacher at Loyalsock Valley, explained that each year the school looks to recognize its young readers who reach goals during its summer reading program. The school does this through a reading pep rally.
But this year, the school brought back a piece of it that hasn't been done in the past few years.
Article Photos
RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Montoursville High School's varsity football players spent an afternoon reading to students at Loyalsock Valley Elementary School. Shown are some of the players reading to and interacting with the students. At left, Griffin Dunne answers questions in Mrs. Holmes's fourth grade class before reading them a book.
"This year we invited the football players to come before hand and they read to whatever class they were assigned to promote reading and be a positive role model for reading," Shearer said.
Players not only read to classrooms but also spoke to them about the importance of reading.
Shearer said having the football players talk about reading to the younger students was important because they look up to them.
"I think our kids already have the utmost respect for them already because they're older," she said. "They're a role model and the kids already think of them a positive role model."
And while the football players may be more well-known to the students because of their Friday night highlights, Shearer said this shows another side of them to elementary students.
"Not only are they showing their skills out on the football field but they're also showing their skills as readers.
"I don't think kids realize (the high school football players) go to school too and they have to know how to read, as well," Shearer later added.
Shearer explained that the tradition of bringing the football players was stopped about four years ago due to transportation problems.
But the team was brought back to the rally when a parent suggested it. The school's parent-teacher organization supplied transportation for the team to join the elementary school's event.
Shearer said since reading is a "life-long skill" it's important that students learn to enjoy reading from an early age. Having role models to show young children the importance of reading is needed.
"It is a life-long activity. We want them to be life-long readers, so to start at a young age is critical. I also think its critical for them to see their peers, parents, teachers and any other adult reading, as well," she said.

The former director of a private Allentown school was charged with sexually assaulting a young boy and was arrested in Georgia last month.
Thomas Curran, 55, of Ewing Twp., Mercer Co., N.J., is accused of engaging in inappropriate sexual contact with the 11-year-old victim on several occasions between April 2013 and June 2013 while acting as an after-school caregiver in the victim's West Windsor Twp., N.J., home.
Curran was middle school director at The Swain School at 1100 S. 24th Street in Allentown from 2000 to 2005.
Curran was arrested in the Atlanta suburb of Woodstock, Georgia, and after signing a waiver of extradition, he was brought back to New Jersey on Feb. 3.
According to Ed Easterly, Swain's attorney, there were no complaints about Curran while he was employed at Swain, and Curran left the school for reasons unrelated to this investigation.
Easterly also said Curran passed all of his background checks.
Curran is also a former dean of students and science teacher at The American Boychoir School, a musical boarding and day school located in Princeton, N.J.
He is charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
He's being held in the Mercer County Correction Center in lieu of $250,000 bail.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the case should contact Detective Petracca at 609-989-6424 or email@example.com.

In the first game against Northeastern, Kari Pitts had two hits for two at-bats and two RBIs while Emily Vasquez had two hits for three at-bats and one RBI. Losing pitcher Talena Tippett gave up eight hits and struck out three in three innings of work. Reliever Kayla Pollard scattered four hits and struck out two in one and one-third innings.
Ranked no. 13 in the nation, the Emporia State Hornets struck quickly against OPSU, plating eight runs in the first three innings. OPSU's solo run was earned in the third, and then Emporia went on to score five more runs in the fourth and fifth. Brandi Heath had one hit and one RBI for the Aggies. Presjel Dai'Re was given the loss, scattering four hits and giving up three runs.
OPSU meets up with the host team in a single game on Sunday at 1 p.m. Fans can follow live stats using the link found on the softball schedule at http://www.opsu.edu.###

2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster: $0.5M tanning booth
A supercar could be the ultimate thrill ride for the well-heeled, yet part of the ownership experience is to be seen in one, to draw attention, and to make other people envy you, right?
The 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster, which has arrived in Canada, makes sure you're in plain view of the crowds that might gather around the car. And at roughly $485,000, know that crossing paths with another Roadster won't be an event that will repeat itself too often.
Recently presented at the Lamborghini Montreal dealership, part of the John Scotti Group, the top-optional Aventador was cloaked in Azzuro Thetis metallic blue paint, a new colour that the company says pays homage to the 1968 Miura Roadster.
The car's detachable roof is a two-piece affair, and each half weighs only 13 lbs. (or 6 kg) thanks to the use of high-pressure resin transfer moulding; the panels can be neatly stored in the trunk. The Roadster's structure had to be reinforced due to the lack of a fixed roof, which added 110 lbs. to the car's overall weight. The chassis, by the way, is made from carbon fibre on which aluminum frames are bolted to integrate the powertrain and the axles.
Those weight-saving efforts pay off, as the Lambo is slightly lighter than the Ferrari F12berlinetta and noticeably lighter than the Aston Martin Vanquish – despite the ability to remove the top and an all-wheel drivetrain, which its rivals don't have.
Combine that with the mid-mounted 6.5L V12 and seven-speed, automated double-clutch gearbox, which develops 700 metric horsepower – or 691 US hp – as well as 507 lb-ft of torque, and you get a supercar that can blast from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed three seconds flat. In addition, the Lambo Roadster can top out at 350 km/h, although at that clip, your hairline will likely recede more quickly than the points on your driver's license.
Oh yeah, the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster also includes a (cough) environmentally-friendly and fuel-saving cylinder-deactivation system, which shuts off a row of cylinders under light loads, and an automatic start/stop system.
Obviously, the Roadster buyer gets the pleasure of dressing up the cabin any way he or her heart desires. Leather or embossed leather upholstery, seat stitching colour, suede or perforated leather steering wheel trim; the Italian company will handcraft it for you, as long as you keep dishing out the greenbacks.
As fast as the Roadster is, though, it can also be enjoyed at more relaxed speeds. Say, during Saturday-night cruises downtown or during sunny summer days by the countryside, since the top can be quickly and easily removed. That's quite an impressive half-million tanning booth for two.

5 "Essential" Baby Products We Lived (Happily) WithoutCeridwen Morris
My dear friend– who had just had her first baby–wrote to me in my third trimester to warn me not to overdo it with the baby gear. I'll never forget her final words, "Babies are cheap. (I mean priceless.)"
I took her seriously and we whittled our "must-haves" down to the truly "must-haves." We bought a car seat, crib (and bedding, from Ikea for under $100), stroller, diapers, a few cotton blankets, a baby carrier, pump and a few other things I can't remember. We got lots of gifts including many cute outfits, several invaluable slings and much beloved stuffed animals. (A seasoned mom gave me nipple cream and Butt Paste.) But here's what we never got:
Bassinet 1 of 5I actually love the bassinet pictured here from the terrific New Zealand company Cariboo, but the Ikea crib we bought (for about $90) was fine for not just a newborn, but a big baby, toddler and little kid (it changed into a toddler bed); we used it for 5 years in total (another kid came along). Our babies did sleep with us periodically and ultimately the co-sleeper we borrowed from a friend for #2 came in handy. But we definitely survived without a bassinet.
Photo Credit: Cariboo.
Changing Table 2 of 5We used a desk with a little padded mat on it. It was great, actually. You did have to bend down a touch more than you would with a hip-high changing table. The one pictured here transforms into a chest of drawers for an older kid, so that's a good option, too.
Photo Credit: Pottery Barn.
Baby Bath Tub 3 of 5Actually, I lie. We did get a $20 baby bath from Ikea for baby # 1 but we gave it away after using it maybe twice. What we found most effective and pleasant was to take a bath with the baby. It was a nice end-of-the-day routine. The baby didn't have to endure the stress of being solo and naked in some weird bucket and we all got to recline in warm water.

Vibrating Bouncy Chair 4 of 5They're usually somewhat hideous and sometimes don't soothe the baby (or do only for a brief two week period). On the other hand, one of these dazzling, bouncing, shimmying chairs can be a LIFESAVER. So I don't want to poo-poo the things. I know people who love them. One option is to get one as a hand-me-down or second hand, and then pass it on as soon as your baby is through with it.

Glider Rocker 5 of 5I breastfed both babies and probably would have loved a deluxe nursing chair like this one! But I nursed all over the place, not just in the nursery, and I found that just propping a pillow behind my back and under the baby worked fine in terms of getting comfortable. Plus, these chairs are not cheap.

Flagship City gets 'Sound City'
Cool news from Film at the Erie Art Museum: Dave Grohl's "Sound City" documentary will open the summer series on June 12.
Grohl's film chronicles the famed California studio where Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty and scores of other acts recorded landmark albums. When the film premiered at Sundance in February, Grohl brought some of his "Sound City" pals, including John Fogerty and Stevie Nicks.
One more gig, Dave? In Erie?
"Sound City" doesn't just tell the story of the recording studio, though. Grohl also assembled some rock greats to record on the studio's famed analog console to celebrate the warmth of that approach and the human element of music. Look for appearances by Neil Young, Lars Ulrich, Trent Reznor, Josh Homme, Lindsay Buckingham, Paul McCartney, Petty, Nicks and more.
The rest of the Film at the Erie Art Museum's summer lineup will be announced during a kickoff party before "Sound City" screens. For more details, visit http://filmsocietynwpa.org.

Tickets are on sale at www.icedreamstour.com and at (212) 600-4330. Look for an interview with Weir in next week's Showcase.
We're still waiting for an 8 Great Tuesdays lineup, but one summer staple has finalized its schedule. The UPMC Sunset Music Series at Presque Isle State Park's Beach 1 will kick off June 12 with Toronto's Julian Taylor Band. They play soulful pop and rock songs, inspired by classic acts such as the Temptations, Bill Withers and Stevie Wonder, among others.
Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band tribute act Jersey will rock out on June 19, followed by Big Eyed Phish (June 26), a talented Dave Matthews Band tribute. Erie acts Ruby Port Band and Sam Hyman Band will team up on July 3.
Popular UPMC staple Garland Nelson and Soul Session will return on July 10. The series concludes with two more Erie acts: Stiletto and Tennessee Back Porch on July 17.
His name is Austin Stirling, but he goes by Hangdog Hearts, which was once the name of his band. Now, he plays solo, whipping up a righteous fervor on mandolin, banjo and percussion. He's at the Crooked I tonight.
"The solo thing is just a different world," Stirling says. "The full band was a lot more fun and high energy, a smiling, having-fun thing. The solo (show) definitely still has a lot of energy, but it's a lot more intense. It's not upbeat and happy, but it's just as loud and fast."
He's a heavily tattooed former boxer and kickboxer who rarely watches TV, and avoids negativity and politics. His songs wrestle with matters of faith and modern Christianity. "If it sounds like I'm singing about a girl or something, that's usually just a metaphor for my faith," he said.
There's raw, real, gut-punch honesty in his songs. Check him out.

Livermore Mayor, Wente Chef Matt Greco Win Mayors' Healthy Cook-Off Challenge
From ContraCostaTimes.com:
Six Alameda County mayors and chefs cooked and toiled for two hours in a live cooking contest to promote healthy foods. In the end, the wine may have made the winning difference.
To be sure, it was a local wine.
Pouring a crisp Wente chardonnay into their dish, chef Matt Greco, of the Restaurant at Wente Vineyards, and Livermore Mayor John Marchand teamed up with the winning dish at the first Alameda County Mayors' Healthy Food Cook-Off Challenge.
"It was the wine and a very creative Wente chef that made the difference," Marchand said of his team's victory. "Not me. Then again, I did help explain how the different tastes complemented each other."
Dublin's and Hayward's team tied for second.
Albany finished third to round out the four teams representing Alameda County later this year in a cook-off against the winners of a similar mayors' competition in Contra Costa County. Pleasanton and Fremont teams did not place in the cook-off.
Following the example of the "Iron Chef" television show, cook-off organizers provided the six Alameda County teams with fresh chicken, vegetables and fruits at the start of the competition. Each team had about two hours to plan and prepare a meal for a panel of 10 judges. Teams brought their own stoves, cooking oil, spices and flavorings. Once the contest began, the mayors left it to the pro chefs to run the show and give the orders.
"It's a friendly competition to promote healthy lifestyles," said Dublin Mayor Tim Sbranti.
As he explained, he mashed produce in a big bowl under the direction of chef Jose Guevara from Johnny Garlic's.
"You get judged on creativity, taste, presentation and healthiness," Sbranti said. "We plan to make it an annual event."
To help his team, Chef Rhasaan Fernandez, of Sam's Log Cabin in Albany, trucked in a heavy grill so he could cook over a mesquite fire, while other contestants used gas stoves.
He said he isn't flustered
Marcus Castro, a recent Dublin High School graduate who studied at the culinary program there, joined the team preparing Dublin's food entry.
"It's good training," said Castro. He said he starts later this month at the Culinary Institute of America in New York.

From LivermorePatch.com:
The City of Livermore was victorious in the 1st annual "Alameda County Mayors' Healthy Cook-Off Challenge," which was held at the Dublin Farmers' Market on Thursday, July 25, 2013.
Mayors from six cities in Alameda County partnered with chefs from restaurants in their communities to participate "Iron Chef"-style in the cook-off. Mayor John Marchand of Livermore teamed up with Chef Matt Greco from The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards to create the winning recipe.
The Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association provided each chef with a bag of produce from the Farmers' Market, while Grocery Outlet of Dublin provided a protein item and grains.
Nine judges, including four members of the Dublin community, and five student chefs from the Serendipity Cooking School at Mt. Diablo High School in Concord, judged the dishes on taste, presentation, healthiness, and creativity.
The City of Dublin and the City of Hayward tied for second place, while third place went to the City of Albany. The winning teams will compete this fall against the top three winners from the "Contra Costa County Mayors' Healthy Cook-Off Challenge," which was held on July 18. They will meet in a cook-off at the Serendipity Cooking School in October.
The goal of the "Mayors' Healthy Cook-Off Challenge," co-sponsored by Wellness City Challenge in Concord, is to highlight the importance of healthy eating, and encourage people to include fresh fruits and vegetables in their meals.

Learn from AARP's Social Networking Strategy
As Boomers begin to enter the life stage of maximum giving, it's probably smart to watch how AARP is communicating with its huge 37 million member constituency.
The place to begin is this case study recently presented in Direct Marketing News — AARP Adapts Its Marketing Channels.
Apart from describing AARP's strategies, the article draws upon data from a Pew Research study released last June, Older Americans and Internet Use, which is well-worth a read in its own right.
Pew found that 53% of Americans age 65 or older use the internet or email. But perhaps most striking is the growth in use of social networking sites by this group, with 34% of online seniors now using.
As detailed in the DM News article, AARP has revamped its YouTube (8.6 million video views) and Facebook (now with more than 1 million fans) presences, in part relying upon research indicating different perceptual factors — e.g., difficulty processing distractions, movements, on-screen clutter and scene-switching — that should be taken into account in optimizing site for aging brains.
AARP has also worked to ensure that customer service is offered via its social channels … not simply using them to push out information.
Obviously AARP is not short on resources to test alternatives and figure out the best approaches to using social media with its senior constituency. And that's precisely why we should all be watching — and stealing — what they are doing.
AARP, the 'skunk works' of social networking with seniors.

One Response to "Learn from AARP's Social Networking Strategy"
I read the Direct Marketing News article, and have to add my concern about the use of FaceBook as the only social network AARP seems to be using to engage us seniors.
I agree that YouTube is great, as a one way tool for telling what AARP is doing.
I'm one of a growing number of people who are closing their FaceBook accounts. I dropped it more than a year ago, and use Google+ While not large in numbers (over 250 million is still big), I found FaceBook was deceptive, unethical, and dishonest is their online practice. I don't miss them, & will not return.
I have seen numbers to show FaceBook is not growing in the U.S. Canada & the United Kingdom. As I talk to my acquaintances in the over 55 age group, I'm hearing many are closing their FaceBook accounts like I did.
I encourage all who are using some form of social media to start using more alternatives like Google+ over FaceBook. Google+ is steadily growing, and I find it much easier to use and follow then FaceBook.

How advanced is your growing season? I would be tempted to dig/pot-up some younger runners early in the season. That will give your main plants better growing room. And you'll have plants to swap, sell or gift. Have the plants you might move bloomed or set fruit yet? Don't move them while blooming - but after fruit-set I think you could still move them without setting them back hard. Best would be when they are fully-hydrated & in the evening, so that they have overnight to recover before responding to daylight.
What I have read about strawberry patches is that your main plants will produce well for about three years, if well taken care of. So you want to be aware of plant ages & favor some of the newer plants that will be your main plants in the future. I usually pot up rooting runners into 4" pots set out in the strawberry patch. And as above ... :-)

WAILUKU - A golfer who says he was attacked by a large bird at the Waiehu Municipal Golf Course is suing Maui County, alleging the county was negligent in failing to remove the animal from the course.
According to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in 2nd Circuit Court, Wailuku resident Ray Sakamura was attacked after teeing off on the second hole Jan. 26. He suffered substantial bodily injury, including a compression fracture of his L-4 vertebrae, the lawsuit says.
The animal that attacked him is described in the suit as a "large bird that had taken up residence" at the course pond.
In a claim Sakamura filed against the county in March, he said he was golfing with five other men when a duck or goose "charged me and bit my pant leg." He said he tried to back away and fell onto his back and side as the animal continued to attack, biting his hand hard enough to cause bleeding. He said he pulled the bird off and went to his cart to get a Band-Aid. Sakamura's claim also says he suffered an L-4 compression fracture in his back from the attack.
Instead of removing the bird, the lawsuit alleges that the county "allowed the bird to reside on the property after it had attacked other golfers."
The county also didn't warn people using the golf course that there were animals on the course, the lawsuit said.
"Specifically, they failed to warn the general public of the presence of birds residing on the course, which were previously known to attack people," the lawsuit says.
Deputy Corporation Counsel Moana Lutey called the claim meritless.
"We do not purchase, own or in any way take care of this duck or goose," she said Thursday. "And we have never had reports of it injuring anyone else on the golf course.
"We defend against all frivolous claims aggressively."
Wailuku attorney Jan Apo filed the lawsuit on behalf of Sakamura.

Beaufort National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in Beaufort County, in the city of Beaufort, South Carolina.[2][3] Managed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, it encompasses 33.1 acres (13.4 ha), and as of 2014, had over 19,000 interments.
The original interments in the cemetery were men who died in nearby Union hospitals during the occupation of the area early in the Civil War, mainly in 1861, following the Battle of Port Royal. Battlefield casualties from around the area were also reinterred in the cemetery, including over 100 Confederate soldiers. It became a National Cemetery with the National Cemetery Act by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. The remains of 27 Union prisoners of war were reinterred from Blackshear Prison following the war.
Beaufort National Cemetery now has interments from every major American conflict, including the Spanish–American War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War.
On May 29, 1989, nineteen Union soldiers of the all black Massachusetts 54th Infantry, whose remains were found on Folly Island, South Carolina in 1987, were buried in the cemetery with full military honors. Members of the cast of the film Glory served as honor guard.
Beaufort National Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
Notable interments[edit]
- Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, and his men of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment who fell at the Battle of Fort Wagner. Graves unmarked.
- Colonel Donald Conroy, known as The Great Santini.
- Private First Class Ralph H. Johnson, Medal of Honor recipient for action in the Vietnam War.
- Captain John J. McGinty III, Medal of Honor recipient for action in the Vietnam War.
- Master Sergeant Joseph Simmons, Légion d'honneur recipient, Buffalo Soldier, World War I and World War II veteran.

ASIDE: Obviously, that's not what I know. But before I tell you, can I just say that it's more than a little bit scary and intimidating to put your actual life dream out there? There is a part of me that wants to draw back, but that's just my Flinch Reflex. Now I'm going to do it. I'm going to tell you. And it might change, this dream of mine. I trust that you'll give me the space to change, if I need to, and if you don't I'll just block all comments. So either way, we're good!
I want a faculty position. I want to be a professor. Probably even want to be one at
I'm going to face hard things, flinch, and then do them anyhow. And even when I fail or embarrass myself, I'm going to try again. Because this is what God has brought to me to do. I don't really understand it, as this is so far removed from the life I had planned for myself that it's laughable (when I'm not crying). But whatever my hands find to do, I am to do it as unto God. He's also the one who made my brain and made it work the way it does. I'm fully aware that the only reason I understand things and see the things I do is because God chose to make me that way. The brain isn't a muscle that I can flex and see growth, or a skill I practice over and over until I master it, although I should be both flexing and practicing. God has given, and He can take it away whenever He sees fit. But until He does, I'm going to use it with all my might.
ASIDE: Sometimes it makes me sad that God hasn't chosen me to be a missionary in a foreign land, to live a more exciting life. It seems, instead, that he's sent me for now as His ambassador to the nerds of the world. This is not what I would have chosen. I have a lingering feeling, however, that there will come some point in time, when I will finally see His plan. That there will be a situation where I can say, "who knows, but that God has put me in this position for such a time as this".What does this mean for Handsome? He's still my first priority, and being his wife (his first & best wife) is still my #1 job. I really don't see him being too affected (effected?), as I've been squandering a large amount of time while he's been at work anyhow. What does this mean for our future, for plans for a family, for plans of any type? I don't even know. As I've mentioned, my plans have worked out pretty much zero percent of the time, so I'm not going to sweat that part. I'll just do the next steps, and trust God for the rest.

Wednesday was a good day for those veteran NFL players cut loose by their old clubs.
Former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson signed a two-year deal with the New York Giants. Receiver Sidney Rice returned to the Seattle Seahawks, who had cut Rice in February. Quarterback Josh Freeman, who was cut early last season by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then by the Minnesota Vikings a few weeks ago, landed with the New York Giants.
So which one of these signings will have a bigger impact in 2014?
Let's go with Johnson, who told a Tennessee reporter he has plenty to prove this season as NJ.com's Dom Cosentino writes:
"I have a fresh start. Now I am going to go out there with a chip on my shoulder," Johnson told Jim Wyatt, the Titans beat man for The Tennessean newspaper. "I know a lot of people are doubting me. I want to prove everybody wrong who has doubts in me."
Johnson played six seasons with the Titans, who drafted him 24th overall out of East Carolina in 2008. In '09, he became one of just seven running backs in league history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. And even though Johnson has rushed for at least 1,000 yards every year he's been in the league, the Titans released him April 4 rather than pay him $8 million in base salary this season.
RB Chris Johnson's 2-year deal with Jets has a team option in it for year two. Jets have option to pick up year two at $4M in February 2015.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 16, 2014
Could the addition of Johnson mean the subtraction of Mike Goodson? The Star-Ledger's Darryl Slater writes that it's a possibility.
With the Jets, Johnson's speed could nicely complement the power of running back Chris Ivory. Johnson's arrival into this running back committee also seems to bump Bilal Powell down the depth chart.
It could also mean Mike Goodson will soon be unemployed. Goodson, of course, has bigger concerns: He is still facing two weapons possession charges in Morris County, which stem from his arrest last offseason, shortly after the Jets signed him in free agency.
Freeman's signing a reaction to Manning's ankle surgery?
Freeman agreed to a one-year deal with the Giants, but it's a transaction that may not have taken place if there weren't at least some concern about Eli Manning's surgically repaired ankle.
Here's what NJ.com's Jordan Raanan reported:
With Manning's ankle (at least to some degree) a concern, the Giants wanted to add an arm. It's a move they likely wouldn't have made if Manning didn't undergo the ankle procedure last week, a person with knowledge of the team's thinking told NJ.com.
The best option they could find at this time, more than a month after free agency opened? Josh Freeman, who may just benefit from the comeuppance for his behavior in Tampa. Teams weren't exactly lining up at his door begging for him to be their quarterback after he flopped in an admittedly unfair situation in Minnesota.
Other news around the league:
Rice visited the Jets the same day he signs with the Seahawks
Peyton Manning doesn't "really have a word for" Super Bowl loss
Raiders still trying to move Terrelle Pryor
Jets reportedly interested in drafting Michael Sam
Is there another setback in NFL concussion lawsuit settlement?

Viewers of "Good Day Philadelphia" got a surprise when they tuned in to check out the weather report. Instead of the usual anchor, they got Mark Wahlberg.
The Golden Globe nominated actor was in-studio promoting his new film "Broken City" with director Allen Hughes. Once their interview is done they decided to have a little more fun, taking over the weather and traffic reports.
After telling viewers how weather will be for the week, Wahlberg took on a Philly accent to talk about traffic before throwing the broadcast to a correspondent.
Wahlberg isn't the only A-lister who has taken over weather reporter duties during an appearance. Scarlett Johansson stepped in for a sick Al Roker on the Today show, though she didn't seem to have nearly as good a time as Mark.
"Broken City," also starring Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones, is in theaters January 18.
