When a warrant for his arrest arrived at his mother's house, Bryan Bookman went to the local district court to clear up the matter.
"That's when I was handcuffed and shackled, right on the spot, like I was a common criminal," said Bookman, who didn't have the money to post bail and spent the night in the Baltimore County Jail.
His crime?
Failure to show up in court for a small claims case.
Debtors' prison, where people are incarcerated for owing money, seems like something out of another century. But consumer advocates say Bookman experienced a modern-day version in Maryland.
When people with even small judgments against them fail to show up in court as ordered, the creditor can ask the judge to issue a so-called "body attachment" that allows the defendant to be arrested.
In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1,830 body attachments were issued by Maryland courts handling small claims of up to $5,000, according to the Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition. And 39 defendants were incarcerated, including one person who spent 14 days in jail, the group reported.
"It's a de facto debtors' prison," said Marceline White, the coalition's executive director.
But it's not just in Maryland.
Most states permit body attachments and use them in a similar way to pursue consumers for small debts, she added.
But creditors and others say consumers aren't arrested for unpaid bills but for repeatedly ignoring court orders. Debtors easily can avoid arrest just by showing up in court, they say.
In Maryland and many other states, the process works like this:
A creditor wins a judgment against a consumer to collect on a debt. The creditor then asks the judge to bring the defendant into court to answer questions about available assets or employment so wages can be garnished. If the consumer fails to show up, the court may issue another summons to determine why the person shouldn't be held in contempt. And if the defendant is a no-show again, the creditor can ask the judge to issue a body attachment.
When defendants are arrested, a judge or commissioner might release them or set a bond. Defendants too poor to pay the bond end up in jail.
"People who owe money to creditors -- guess what -- they don't have money," said Peter Holland, who runs the Consumer Protection Clinic at the University of Maryland School of Law. "They have fallen on hard times. They are elderly. They are living on a fixed income. They are sick. They are jobless. Is it any surprise they are spending a night in jail because they don't make bail?"
Consumer advocates say no one is suggesting that people should ignore court orders.
But in some cases, consumers might not be aware they have a court date because they moved and didn't receive the notice, advocates said. Sometimes consumers are pursued by debt collectors for money they don't owe or no longer recognize because the debt has been sold and resold so many times, advocates said.
Or defendants often are confused by court notices, particularly if they aren't proficient in English.
Jacob Ouslander, a staff attorney of Legal Aid in Baltimore, said his group in 2012 helped a Korean immigrant who was arrested in a case involving a $1,600 judgment against her more than 10 years ago. Her former landlord continued to pursue the judgment by having her repeatedly summoned to court, Ouslander said, even though she had no assets and her sole income was Social Security -- which is protected from creditors.
Because of her limited English and confusion over the repeated notices, the client missed a hearing, and the landlord requested a body attachment, he said. She was arrested at her home and later released after a relative posted bail.
Holland, of the Consumer Protection Clinic, noted that only a small number of creditors and debt collectors routinely resort to body attachments in small claims court cases, where the rules of evidence are more informal.
"The question is: Should you deprive someone of personal liberty when the underlying offense is based on a small claim based on very relaxed proof?" he said.

The Rochester contingent of the Ubuntu New York LoCo Team co-sponsors a hands on Linux workshop with Interlock Rochester. Interlock recently moved to a new space; gone are the aerobics dancers banging on the ceiling above our heads and the shared workshop space occasionally resulting in saw dust in the same airspace as our laptop cooling fans.
The space now has several rooms with dedicated rooms for:
- Ham Radio
- Workshop
- Hands-on / Presentation Room
- Lounge area
- 'Office Space' with a closed door (quiet from the group)
- Server / Networking room
The new space will provide much better accommodations for Ubuntu related activities. Here are some pictures of the new and vastly improved space.
This is really a fantastic upgrade and I hope that many Rochester area Ubuntu users will join us at events in the new space. The most important information I saved for last.

A Dad and His Daughter: A Photo SeriesMonica Bielanko
From the moment of her birth there has existed something magical between Violet and her dad.
Not only is she an adorable, mini version of this bearded, grown man, but it's as if they lived past lives that had intersected in such a way as to imprint recognition upon their souls.
Hey, I know you.
Maybe they were fellow Civil War soldiers who fought together in Antietam? Perhaps they traversed the Atlantic in the Santa Maria together? Could be they were both ladies in waiting for Queen Elizabeth? Hell, maybe Violet was Queen Elizabeth and Serge was a court jester. That would be about right. Anything for her highness.
During the first two years of Violet's life I worked full-time as an executive producer in a fast-paced newsroom. Because my job had a better salary and enviable healthcare, Serge reduced his hours to part-time and spent most of his days with his queen. Which means that even though I eventually quit my job to entertain my notions of freelance writing and being with my kids full-time, Serge has spent more time with Violet than I have.
The first two years of her life were passed in a flurry of walks in Utah's magnificent mountains. She has logged a lot of miles with dad. He'd pop her in a baby carrier and off they'd go. Daily rambles in the woods, visits to the park, walking the dogs. And then, because I didn't get home until well after the nightly news, they'd have dinner together and he'd put her down for the night. All that time, just the two of them. She is a daddy's girl to be sure.
When I see them giggling together now, the whole of her existence with her best pal flashes through my mind in the form of my favorite photos of them together.
Below are those photos. Poignant sign posts marking the most magnificent journey two human beings can ever embark upon; unconditional love, acceptance, and a promise to be there for each other forever. And ever.
First Photo 1 of 25One of the first photos of a proud new dad.
Spitting Image 2 of 25It astonished me to see how much a sweet, baby girl can resemble a grisly, adult man.
Sweetness 3 of 25Look at the little cherub! One of my all-time favorites.
Fishin' Buds 4 of 25Shortly after she was born I strapped Violet into a Bjorn and tromped through the snow so dad could introduce her to fishing.
Across The Universe 5 of 25The two pals traversing the great wide open.
First Father's Day 6 of 25Their first Father's Day together.
Sharing A Smile 7 of 25These two photos from Father's Day are the best.
Best Pals 8 of 25
First Birthday 9 of 25Of all the photos I have of these two this one probably best captures their relationship. This was her first birthday. He had gone to get her balloons so she sat at the front window waiting for him to get home. I snapped this as he saw her waiting and ran up to show her the birthday balloons.
Hat Twins 10 of 25They look a lot alike in this photo.
My Turn? 11 of 25Another fishing trip.
Fishing Lessons 12 of 25Learning how to reel one in.
Learning To Walk 13 of 25She wasn't quite walking on her own yet here. Serge would take her little hand in his and walk her up and down the sidewalk until she could do it on her own.
Easter Bunnies 14 of 25Goofing around on Easter
Serenade 15 of 25She is fascinated when he plays music for her.
Toddler Toss 16 of 25What dad worth his salt hasn't done the old toddler toss?
First Fish 17 of 25Her first time touching a fish.
Little Cow 18 of 25He was so proud of his Little Cow. Took her to all the Halloween crafts offered in downtown Salt Lake and even squeezed into a little kid train to take her on a ride.
Leaf Wars 19 of 25She loves to help dad do whatever he's doing.
Riding In Cars With Boys 20 of 25Safe in daddy's arms.
Beach Bums 21 of 25Her first time seeing the ocean.
Porch Sittin' 22 of 25Just hanging around on a lazy summer afternoon.
Silhouette 23 of 25There's a magical quality to this photo. Another one that, to me, really defines their relationship.
Scooby Dooby Doo 24 of 25I'm not sure who was more excited about trick-or-treating.
Today 25 of 25It's been a pleasure watching this relationship happen.

DALLAS - With the Spurs and Mavericks meeting again in the playoffs, it's easy to be lulled into thinking this is the same old, same old - two instate rivals who know each other so well the winner simply will be whichever team makes the most of its opportunities.
That's not totally the case.
The Mavericks reinvented themselves in mid-February, swapping four guys for three. In March, the Spurs were forced to shake things up when Tony Parker broke a bone in his right hand. George Hill became the starting point guard, and the team played so well Parker came off the bench all six games after he returned.
Since these overhauls, the teams have met only once, a season finale Wednesday night that was kind of a joke. Knowing this first-round matchup was coming, both teams held things back; San Antonio even held out Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili.
So, strange as it may seem, there's an air of mystery going into Game 1 tonight.
"We don't know them, they don't know us," Mavs center Brendan Haywood said. "We'll get to know each other starting this weekend."
OK, that may be overstating it. Then again, Haywood is among Dallas' newcomers, so he's in need of a history lesson.
The quick version is both teams have won 50 games each of the past 10 years, but San Antonio has won four championships, and the best the Mavs have done is reach the finals once. The Spurs took out Dallas in the 2003 conference finals, and the Mavs returned the favor in a classic second-round series in '06. Dallas also eliminated San Antonio in the first round last season.
"They're our big brothers," Mavericks guard Jason Terry said Saturday. "Until we get those rings, they're always a team that we're gunning for. ... I don't know what their organization does, but they continue to keep good players, good people around."
There used to be a lot of cross-pollination: Spurs coach Gregg Popovich worked for former Dallas coach Don Nelson; Nelson's successor, Avery Johnson, was Popovich's protege. There's also been some bad blood, from former San Antonio forward Bruce Bowen's tough defense ("tripping people," Dirk Nowitzki still calls it) to Mavericks owner Mark Cuban talking about the dirty water in San Antonio's famous River Walk. Having about 4½ hours of Interstate 35 between the cities adds to the intensity.
"Outside of Texas, I don't think people really appreciate the rivalry as much as we do," Cuban said. "It should be a great national rivalry because every game with the Spurs, even preseason games, people take personally."
While some faces have changed, there are still many constants.
The Spurs are going to run a lot of pick-and-rolls with Parker and Ginobili either driving the lane or passing to 3-point shooters. They'll also get the ball to Duncan for bank shots and all sorts of nifty moves around the rim.
Jason Kidd will run the Dallas offense, always looking to start fast breaks. He'll pass to Nowitzki inside or out, or to Terry on the perimeter.

Tomato Panzanella Salad Recipe
By Jeannette Park | September 30, 2013
With the glut of late summer produce still available at the farmer's market (and as a way to get rid of the day old bread), think of panzanella salad as a deconstructed vegetarian sandwich. While this traditional Tuscan bread salad is made with stale bread that has been soaked in water then tossed with vegetables and sometimes cheese, the thought of soggy bread made my stomach turn so I decided to create something that could hold up to the vinaigrette once dressed. Traditional versions often include red or yellow peppers, but I just used tomatoes and cucumbers which created a lovely starter to the whole roasted fish I served as the main course.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has developed a new tone about President Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Bloomberg took a few minutes away from coordinating storm responses to announce his official endorsement of Obama for a second term, stating he would be the best one to take climate change seriously and spearhead regulations to tackle the problem.
The mayor cited doubt about presidential challenger, Mitt Romney, saying his stand on climate change has backtracked from earlier positions.
As governor of Massachusetts, Romney declared a commitment to reduce carbon consumption, but as presidential candidate, he has changed numerous positions in his effort to gain support from a GOP base that has grown increasingly conservative—including his stand on climate and energy.
"Our climate is changing," Bloomberg wrote in an opinion article for Bloomberg View, a section of Bloomberg News. "And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it might be— given this week's devastation—should compel all elected leaders to take immediate action."
Bloomberg rejected consideration of a presidential tour after Hurricane Sandy ravaged his town, opting instead to support Obama's visit to New Jersey, which was the hardest hit state, to work with Gov. Chris Christie in getting storm relief efforts underway.
Christie found out firsthand how Obama's disaster policy changes will help his state rebuild, whereas, if Romney/Ryan projected policies were in effect today, New Jersey and the others declared in State of Emergency status—would be left literally blowing in the wind to fend for themselves.
Bloomberg's endorsement comes on the heels of generous statements of support from Christie regarding Obama's leadership during the storm response.
Furthermore, Christie rejected any consideration of inviting Romney to tour New Jersey devastation, saying he wasn't concerned about presidential politics at a time when his state was in the midst of rescue and recovery.
Currently, Bloomberg is a registered independent, but he has previously been registered under both Democrat and Republican parties. Less than two weeks ago, Bloomberg declined to give his support to either candidate.
"I'm honored to have Mayor Bloomberg's endorsement," Obama said in a statement. "I deeply respect him for his leadership in business, philanthropy and government, and appreciate the extraordinary job he's doing right now, leading New York City through these difficult days."
Bloomberg put emphasis on climate change for his endorsement for obvious reasons, but he also said he wanted to support a candidate, who will be on the right side of history on social issues—like gay marriage.
The president was back on the campaign trail Thursday, but he expressed optimism about the endurance of the American spirit to survive such tragic hardships.
"The good news is, we will clean this up," said Obama. "The good news is, we will get through this."
The silver-lining of Hurricane Sandy is putting the spotlight on climate change and bringing the discussion into direct focus on a threat to humanity that has been shoved under the rug by GOP dogma, big oil and deep-pocketed special interest groups.
Too bad it took Sandy to bring global warming back into the conversation.

New York's Unlikeliest Movie Star: The Alley
In Hollywood's version of New York City, the giant metropolis is teeming with secretive, cinematic alleyways — the ultimate urban character actor, always on-call to lend a film a sense of lived-in grit.
Take "The Nanny Diaries": the 2007 film uses an alley as the sort of backdrop that leaves no doubt the story is set in New York. In "The Sorcerer"s Apprentice," a deserted alley brings the hero to a hidden magic shop, and the titular character in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" lives in a ramshackle apartment down a similarly photogenic byway.
Yet the actual city is short on shortcuts. In fact, each of the above scenes was filmed at a single location — Franklin Place in Tribeca — that is now being remade by a real-estate developer.
The scarcity of Manhattan alleys that fit Hollywood's dank, dilapidated typecasting has made those that exist into the city's unlikeliest icons, virtually unknown to locals but filmed almost as often as the trademark skyline. Most are hidden south of Canal Street, far from the rigid organization of the uptown street grid.
Theater Alley, tucked inside the Financial District, still bears a vaudevillian wall painting from "Billy Bathgate," which filmed there in 1991. Matt Damon took a rainy shortcut down Tribeca's Staple Street in the 2011 film "The Adjustment Bureau."
Crocodile Dundee, the Highlander and the Smurfs have all made their way down Chinatown's Cortlandt Alley, as have the detectives on nearly every New York-based police procedural in recent years. In the trailer for the upcoming "Men In Black 3," Will Smith's character has a run in with an alien and a graffiti artist in the same gritty alley. (The film takes liberties with the location, with dialogue that incorrectly places the scene "north of Canal.")
Like all desirable New York real estate, scarcity makes these rat-infested and grime-covered passages surprisingly expensive as filming locations. Private owners control a few of these back streets, including Broadway Alley in the East 20s and Great Jones Alley in the East Village.
Robert Moezinia, a property owner on Franklin Place for 15 years, can rattle off a list of shoots in his alley. "'Men in Black,' 'Law and Order,' Merrill Lynch commercials, European advertising for vodkas and soft drinks," he said. "I had a very good situation."
Hollywood's favorite image of the dangerous New York alley is not completely fictitious: Moezinia can recall dead bodies found dumped in Franklin Place over the years. What leaves him disappointed, however, are the small cameos his alley plays in the finished film.
"They shoot for hours," Moezinia complained, "yet it would only be five seconds in the movie."
In the case of privately owned alleys like Franklin Place, the property is often divided up among several owners with whom a production company will make individual deals. The total cost for securing one of these alleys can range from $5,000 to $10,000 per day, and beyond. Producers who forgo paying for access can find their productions shut down by the police.
On public alleys, including Theater and Cortlandt, there is no official cost beyond a $300 fee required to apply for any shooting permit in the city, according to a spokeswoman for the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting.
But the owners of properties abutting the public alleys claim a right to six feet of land measured out from their buildings, and they will typically seek payment in exchange for keeping parking spaces clear during filming. For alleys barely measuring 15 feet across, it's a request that cannot be ignored.
There's bad news for directors addicted to Manhattan's alleyways: the spaces are under pressure from the same forces that drained the grittiness from much of the city in the last two decades.
The Franklin Place alley is out of commission indefinitely amid construction on a luxury condominium tower. The dilapidated buildings that made Theater Alley a dependable star were torn down recently to make way for more condos, effectively destroying its archetypal look.
With ever higher prices for the dwindling supply of alleys, filmmakers will ultimately need to make a choice: pay up to portray New York as the seedy wonderland of the pop-culture imagination or drop the alley cliché in favor of more authentic locations.

It's that time of year where everyone seems to be getting sick – especially my kids. No matter how diligent I am with washing hands and sanitizing, they always seem to get sick after doing an activity with other kids. We're either home bodies and healthy or social and sick. I hate to keep them from play dates, so I'm being extra cautious about germs and have started using essential oils for immunity purposes. Check out my list below for the best essential oils for immunity – to help keep the sickness at bay the rest of winter.
Essential Oils for Immunity
- Citrus – Lemon and orange essential oils are the top 2 citrus oils that come to mind that are great for fighting infections. Lemon is specifically great for urinary tract infections, and orange is overall a great antiseptic – preventing infections from microorganisms.
- Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca) – It's a great topical antiseptic and anti-fungal treatment. You can apply it directly to the skin diluted in either a carrier oil or witch hazel. Some people use it straight, but to avoid any possible skin irritation it's best to start off using it diluted.
- Rosemary Oil – Also classified as a disinfectant, it's often used in mouth wash to kill oral bacteria. Other studies have found that rosemary oil can help boost the immune system by aiding antioxidant activity in the body.
- Eucalyptus Oil – Is best known for treating symptoms of the common cold and can be found in the ingredients for many cough drops and vapor rubs. In addition, it's also been shown to boost the immune system.
- Immunity Blends – While you'll hear many people talk about thieves oil – it's actually not a singular oil, but a blend of 5 that is trademarked by Young Living. You can also find other similar blends on the market, like doTERRA On Guard, that I was sent to review.
doTERRA On Guard Beadlets
doTERRA On Guard Beadlets are a convenient way to get the same effects as the On Guard Oil Blend. Both are a blend of wild orange, clove, cinnamon, rosemary, and eucalyptus essential oils. Instead of measuring out oil, you can simply pop a tiny vegetable coated beadlet into your mouth, let it dissolve, and enjoy the immune boosting effects. Each bottle contains 125 beadlets, which would last you about 4 months or 1 month for a family of 4.
The flavor isn't my favorite – the clove oil definitely seems prominent, but it's not unbearable. And definitely worth the effects. I've been the only one in my family taking it, as I'm a little hesitant to offer it to my kids – especially Haley since allergy tests have shown adverse reactions to cinnamon. All the essential oils in the blend are safe for kids so I really should start getting Grady to take it, as he's always the first one to get sick.
I did get a cold during my review period for doTERRA On Guard. I was the least sick out of everyone (both kids had croup), so I do think the beadlets helped in both the severity and duration of my cold.
All doTERRA essential oils are 100% pure CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils and are extracted using low heat steam distillation (in most cases). This blend in beadlet form is safe for ingestion.
Have you used essential oils for immunity purposes or even once already sick? What has worked for you?

You can purchase the doTERRA On Guard Beadlets, like the one I reviewed, on the My Natural Family Website for $18.49.

"Paris screamed out, 'Daddy!' " Alberto Alvarez testified on the third day of Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial in Los Angeles. "She was crying."
Alvarez, whose job it was to go places before Jackson and make sure everything was safe and to the entertainer's liking, said in court Tuesday he noticed that his boss was lying with his palms up, his eyes slightly open and his mouth agape. There was medical equipment everywhere, including a condom catheter that had drained urine, he said. Dr. Murray was giving chest compressions as he shouted, "Don't let them see their dad like this."
Alvarez says he turned to Prince and Paris, who were crying, and said, "'Kids, don't worry, we'll take care of it. Everything's going to be okay.' Then I asked Dr. Murray what happened and he said, 'He had a bad reaction.' "
Later Thursday, Jackson's personal chef, Kai Chase, also testified to the children's reaction. "The children were crying and screaming and the next thing we did was we started hugging, we held hands and we stared praying," Chase testified. "We didn't know what was going on but the energy in this house did not feel good."
Packing Up PropofolAlvarez says Murray then shifted his focus from giving CPR and asked Alvarez to help pack up medical bottles and equipment.
"He reached over and grabbed a handful of vials and said, 'Here, put them in the bag,' " Alvarez testified.
One of the things he helped pack was an IV bag with a bottle inside. The liquid at the bottom of the bag was milky. Prosecutors say the substance was propofol, a hospital-strength anesthetic that Murray improperly administered, causing the entertainer's untimely death on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50.
Showing the jury an IV bag and asking if they could see a cut near the bottom, prosecutor David Walgren held up a nearly full, 100-ml propofol bottle. Jackson's parents and siblings, including Janet Jackson, stared intently. Alvarez testified he recognized the bottle as the one that was in the IV bag.
Then, placing the propofol bottle through the slit into the IV bag, Walgren held it up for the jury to show that the bottle fit. Jackson's father, Joseph Jackson, and sister LaToya smiled.
At the time, Alvarez testified, he thought he was helping the doctor transport necessary equipment to the hospital where Jackson would soon be rushed – not cleaning up a crime scene.
"I believed that Dr. Conrad Murray had the best intentions for Mr. Jackson," Alvarez testified.
The 911 CallThe prosecutor then played a recording of the 911 call placed by Alvarez. "He's not responding to anything," Alvarez told the dispatcher. "He's not responding to the CPR or anything."
With paramedics on their way, Alvarez says he watched Murray place a pulse oximeter on Jackson's finger. Such a device could have alerted Murray that Jackson was having trouble breathing.
LaToya Jackson dabbed at her eyes upon learning that Murray apparently only attached the device once her brother was dead.

We noted in the March that the Cowboys signed Corcoran alum Jamel Richardson.
Donnie passes along a profile from DallasCowboys.com.
Richardson isn't yet listed on the Cowboys' official roster, but he's very excited to be working out at camp:
"I'm just really excited to be here and be in the NFL," Richardson said. "It's long overdue. Long overdue. But just to get a shot play with the elite players. I'm here. Everybody wanted to play in the NFL since they were young. So it's just a dream come true for me."

Our view: Thumbs up for Winter Hikes at Presque Isle
Trail mix: Today is Winter Hikes Day at Presque Isle State Park, with a variety of options for those who want to get outside to exercise during a day that promises to be unseasonably mild.
Park naturalists will lead four separate hikes. The first starts at 9 a.m. at the Stull Interpretive Center and continues with an "easy walk" along the Multi-Purpose Trail. A two-mile hike along Long Pond Trail starts at noon at the East Pier parking lot. There's another two-mile hike at 3 p.m., starting at the Pine Tree Pavilion and continuing on Dead Pond Trail.
The final hike of the day is a five-mile venture to Gull Point. Meet at the Gull Point trailhead at the Beach 10 parking lot at 6 p.m., and be ready for a hike expected to last until 8:30 p.m.
Like the park's New Year's Resolution Walk program that takes place on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., Winter Hikes Day is another great opportunity to enjoy and explore Presque Isle in the offseason.
Foregone conclusion: Whether the golf course is ice or sand, the third annual Joe Root's Frostbite Open will be ready for participants to play nine holes on Feb. 17.
"The plan is always to do it on a frozen bay provided we have a frozen bay to do it on," says Steve McDermott, executive director of the Presque Isle Partnership, which benefits from the money raised at the golf tournament.
The inaugural tournament, on Feb. 20, 2011, took place, as intended, on Presque Isle Bay. Temperatures were in the 20s, and the tournament raised $3,300. The 2012 tournament was moved to Beach 1 at Presque Isle State Park because of mild weather; it raised $8,900. Proceeds from the first two tournaments went to build a turtle observation deck at Graveyard Pond. Money raised this year will be used to pave the area near the observation deck.
Credit Emil Keisel, owner of Joe Root's Grill, for sponsoring the tournament, and Brian Gula, an environmental educator at Presque Isle, for his always-popular portrayal of Joe Root, the legendary hermit who lived off the land at Presque Isle.
In a rut: We know that Erie's weather pattern is different; average temperatures were above normal for nine of the 12 months in 2012, and December was one of the warmest on record.
But even though we haven't yet been buried under a lot of snow, that's no excuse for the Erie Bureau of Streets to neglect to treat side streets during winter. In a letter to the editor today, Staci Davis described the treacherous conditions on her street, Stafford Avenue, which became a sheet of ice. City residents in neighborhoods all over Erie had the same experience, as snow melted, then refroze at night, making travel hazardous for motorists and pedestrians.
Travel alert: Mark you calendars for Jan. 19, when All Aboard Erie will hold its annual membership meeting at 1 p.m. at the Brewerie in Union Station. The meeting is free and open to the public.
The organization supports improvements to rail service for northwestern Pennsylvania and also sponsors Ride the Bus weekend in Erie every March. Nationwide Amtrak ridership rose 3.5 percent in 2012, to 31.2 million passengers, but the government-subsidized rail service is often targeted for budget cuts.
Speaking at the meeting will be Mike Tann, operations director for the Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority, and Steven Porter, who lost his bid as an Independent for the 3rd Congressional District seat in November. For information, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dogs on ice: Hockey fans are glad that National Hockey League players and owners are ending the lockout, and Smith Provision Co. is glad that Erie-made Smith hot dogs will be sold at Pittsburgh Penguin games at the Consol Energy Center.
In July, Pittsburgh Magazine readers voted Smith hot dogs as the top wiener in the magazine's "Best of the Burgh" rankings. Smith products are sold at the University of Pittsburgh's athletic venues, and Smith became the official vendor for hot dogs, sausages and deli meat for the Consol Energy Center when it opened in August 2010.
We hope the NHL settlement will also spark interest in the Erie Otters; our Ontario Hockey League team has 12 home games left in the regular season, including games against the Niagara Ice Dogs on Feb. 1 and Feb. 13 at 7 p.m.

The Buzz about Obama and the Fly
Sometimes there are in-between moments that happen during press conferences that don't necessarily make most news budgets. One of those times happened Thursday as a fly darted about the President's face as he announced his top financial regulatory officials.
Under the brights lights and cameras, the fly lightly glanced off of Obama's forehead before he took a swat at it. "This guy is bothering me here," Obama said.
Thanks to the fact that the President constantly has cameras trained on him, no fly goes unnoticed, hence this photo of the brief encounter shot by Doug Mills of The New York Times.
I wonder if there will also be a new White House exterminator during Obama's second term?

Slicing through Moncks Corner's downtown, Main Street gradually transitions from a business and civic district on the east side to a residential zone further west.
That's where 211 W. Main St. stands. Framed circa 1900 and once the site of a one-room schoolhouse, the structure would not stay modest sized for long. "They added on over the decades," says Bob Glover, broker with Matthew Ryan Co. LLC in Goose Creek. "This is an historic home," he says.
By 1971, the Moncks Corner building would emerge as a 3,800-square-foot, two story dwelling on an acre of land.
The property remains a homestead today. But the residence's location on a corner lot edging a commercial sector makes the dwelling and land appealing for nonresidential uses as well.
"It's probably one of more (versatile) properties in Moncks Corner that's not getting what it could" in terms of interest, says Glover, listing agent for 211 W. Main St. "This could be a multiple use property," he says.
The five-bedroom, three-bath home states a list price of $379,000. Behind the main house, the property sports a Dutch barn-style two car garage with an unfinished upper loft.
Glover, who is a commercial agent, markets 211 W. Main St as a "possible conversion to office or business." He's had the listing for three months.
"It's in close proximity to the (Berkeley County) Courthouse," Glover says. A lawyer who toured the property has expressed an interest, and a North Carolina resident has considered establishing a bed and breakfast, he says.
The clapboard house possesses striking features that would be accommodating for either residential or business use. Removed from the roadway, 211 W. Main St. stands out for its large front lawn and wide porch. The entrance opens to a broad living room with wood- and coal-burning fireplace added 30 years ago. Hardwood floors cover the residence except for bathrooms and a utility porch in back.
A parlor with fireplace flanks the living quarters. According to Glover, a homeowner could turn the space — where the schoolhouse was situated — into a den or TV room, while a business could retool it as a conference room.
At least one large bedroom and a sprawling bathroom mark the back of the house. There's also a screened-in porch on the east side. At one time, the residence sported a complementary porch on the west wing; that's been walled in for a small office.
The dining room, showing off bead board, wainscoting and 11 foot ceilings, may be the most dramatic feature in the house. Off the dining room stands the kitchen, accentuated by crown molding. A small laundry room abuts the kitchen.
Upstairs, the house shows off a series of open rooms that currently aren't being used but would stand out as bedrooms in a residence or offices for a business.
"If you ran a small business, you can grow into all these (rooms)," Glover says.
Russell Jolly, a family member, stays in the house as a caretaker of sorts. "It's a great location," says Jolly, who notes he would miss the residential use if it's restyled as a business setting.
The house sits just a few blocks from Moncks Corner's central business and governmental district.
Heading north and west, follow Interstate 26 to exit 209A, which is the turnoff for U.S. Highway 52. Take Highway 52 into Goose Creek. Proceed 10 miles north from Goose Creek to Moncks Corner. Turn left on East Main Street, which is also S.C. Highway 6. Go close to two miles, crossing Live Oak Drive (U.S. Highway 17A). Shortly ahead on the left is 211 W. Main St.

Writing, for Michael Snow, is as much a form of "art-making" as the broad range of visual art activities for which he is renowned, including the "Walking Woman" series and the film Wavelength. Conversely, many of the texts included in this anthology are as significant visually as they are at the level of content — they are meant to be looked at as well as read. Situated somewhere between a repository of contemporary thought by one of our leading Canadian artists and a history book as it brings to light some important moments in the cultural life of Canada since the 1950s, these texts tell their own story, marking the passage of time, ideas and attitudes.
The works included here, ranging from essays and interviews and record album cover notes to filmscripts and speeches (which, in Snow's hands, often fall into the category of performance art), are not only "built for browsing," they offer insights into both the professional and the private Snow. Together, they expand the context of Snow's work and show the evolution of a great Canadian artist, beginning with his early attempts at defining art, to his emergence and recognition on the international art scene.
This book is one of four books that are part of the Michael Snow Project. Initiated by the Art Gallery of Ontario and The Power Plant Gallery, the project also includes four exhibitions of his visual art and music.
Michael Snow was born in Toronto in 1929. His works are included in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Musée d'art moderne, Paris. His films have been shown at the Toronto, Berlin, Pesaro and Cannes festivals. As a musician he has played many concerts and festivals (e.g., Musica Nova, Hamburg, New Music America, the Olympic Arts Festival, Du Maurier Jazz Festival, etc.) and has produced recordings as well as the sound tracks for his films and gallery sound installations. He has received several awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Order of Canada.
"... provides the easy access to Snow's creative process. A selection from decades' worth of public statements, private notebook entries, draft scripts and formal interviews, it goes a long way towards magnetizing this most important but, in a way, most elusive of Canada's senior visual artists."
— Douglas Fetherling, New Brunswick Reader
"This valuable book offers a key to the lively mind behind so much significant and varied art practice of the last 40 years."

No DVD Boot I have an "old" 1 GHz PC with a DVD reader and CD writer, 512MB Ram, and 2 * 80MB HD. Unfortunately, apparently the BIOS is unable to boot from the DVD reader. So, my question: every month I receive a very valuable Linux DVD from this magazine. How can I convert the DVD into multiple CD's from which I can boot? I have been thinking about this for quite a while now, especially since there are old computers around that cannot even boot from an existing CD-Rom drive directly.

Fracking using water resources already limited
There have been a number of fracking articles in The Tribune. None of these has really covered one important question: How does fracking affect the overall water situation in northeastern Colorado?
How many times have you heard the comment after a snow or rainstorm, "We needed the moisture"? When it comes to the economy, some folks conveniently forget that we live in a semi-arid climate.
A recent article in C&EN (American Chemical Society), titled "Cleaner Fracking," describes a typical fracking recipe as 85 percent water with a small amount of sodium chloride (table salt) and food additives. It also notes that in the Western states, including Colorado, most of the fracking water is not saline (that's good) and that reverse-osmosis membranes are sufficient for removing the ions (that's also good). This, however, begs the question, is this water-purification procedure being used on a large scale, or is it considered not cost-effective enough by the gas and oil companies? The article also states that "well operators in the West generally use deep-well injections for disposal." And a recent article in The Tribune stated that approximately
2.5 million gallons of water are needed per well.
The problem with deep-well injections is that the water is no longer available. It's gone. The big question then is how much water is currently being "lost"? Or as some politicians like to say, it's the arithmetic.
Water is currently being portioned out to various groups. These include residential (drinking water and lawns), fracking and agriculture (irrigation). As water becomes more limited, which will lose out first? Dryland farming is not very profitable. Again, it's the arithmetic — less water may mean less agriculture. That would have a profound longterm effect on Weld County.

Troublesome tree could cause serious accident
This is in reference to a letter I had in the Your Take: Mailbox section of The Tribune on Sept. 12. Seems no one read the letter. Seems no one cares in this fine city of Greeley. What could happen to a person who has been a Greeleyite for 60 years?
Could be because of election time and everyone is confused. Their eyes and ears are stuck on politics. Anyway, the tree, which stands directly in front of my place backing out of my driveway at 1852 11th Ave., and the students parking on 11th Avenue, prevents me from being able to see to get out on the street. The city refuses to remove the tree.
I have put up with this tree, as has my family, for 22 years. But now I am 22 years older, I am not quite as alert and the students are not alert at all. So anything accident-wise could be serious. The girl in my apartment also says it's very dangerous.
So if anything happens that I or one of my family members or my renters has a serious accident getting out of my driveway, the city of Greeley will be sued pathetically.

The Tribune should cite reasons for endorsing candidate, not 'wish list'
The Tribune endorsed Cory Gardner for U.S. Congress based on what the newspaper "hopes" he "may" do in the future. The endorsement is purely conjecture, unsubstantiated — motivated by what?
Does The Tribune hire its employees by "hoping" "maybe" they "might" be able to research and write a great article? No way. The Tribune carefully looks at past accomplishments before making a decision to hire. It's too bad The Tribune's hiring policy doesn't carry over to political endorsements. Shrewd job-seekers check out employers in much the same way savvy voters research candidates. It's so sad that some voters acted on The Tribune's guess.
Frankly, Mr. Editor, I can't locate anything that Cory Gardner has done in Washington that's beneficial to the people of our district. His website is void of his good deeds. Please publish an article detailing what he has done for us. Make sure it includes how his votes made our lives better, saved jobs, developed new jobs and improved the economy. The Tribune must now follow up on its "wish list" and publish how well Gardner lives up to its endorsement.
In the future, The Tribune needs to provide defendable reasons for endorsing a candidate. Furthermore, the public needs to pressure the paper to hold Gardner accountable for his future actions.
M. Worley, Greeley
Being a Republican county isn't an automatic win
Is there a Republican Party in Greeley? I know there is a Democratic Party because every day it seems there is a representative at my door, or Democratic material in the mailbox.
I am not a Democrat; I am a registered Republican. But you couldn't tell it by the people representing the Democrats coming to my door. I was thinking about moving out until after the election, lest people get the wrong idea.
I think I have had one representative for Skip Carlson knock on my door; that's it, folks.
This is serious if we are a swing state. Where are the door-to-door Republicans? Is the Weld County party too lazy, or without leadership?
Elections are won going door to door. We Republicans are in deep trouble. Do not take the fact we are a Republican county as an automatic win; how about those independent votes?
We have a problem right here in River City, folks; it's called complacency.

BEDFORD - Stephen Weaver, convicted last year of sexually assaulting two female relatives when they were teenagers, was sentenced Wednesday to 19 to 56 years' imprisonment by a Bedford County judge.
Weaver, 56, of Schellsburg waited nearly nine months for the sentence, which followed Judge Thomas Ling's decision that Weaver must register with authorities as a sexually violent predator.
"These convictions show an attack on the basis of the family," Ling said, noting that Weaver's otherwise spotless criminal record and history of work and military service allowed for a sentence below District Attorney Bill Higgins' requested 28 to 98 years.
"They're some of the most serious offenses we have in the crimes code," Ling said.
A Bedford County jury convicted Weaver in December of rape, indecent deviate sexual intercourse and 20 counts of indecent assault. They acquitted him of more than 300 other charges.
Ling cited Weaver's long, slow process of "grooming" - gradually preparing the girls for a sexual relationship - as a factor in his decision to label the onetime welder and Marine a violent predator.
His teenage victims, now in their 20s, said Weaver used his position as a breadwinner and authority figure to drive them to a sexual relationship. A prosecution expert, state sex-offender specialist Herbert E. Hays, cited police reports in which the girls recalled their fear of Weaver's gun collection and frequent talk of violence.
Weaver's attorney, Thomas Crawford, asked Ling for a five-to-10-year sentence, noting that jurors clearly hadn't intended for a sweeping conviction on every accusation. A second expert, Pittsburgh-based forensic psychiatrist Robert Wettstein, said he found insufficient evidence to label Weaver as a violent, clinically ill offender.
Ling's final sentence stood between the extremes both attorneys had sought.
"I'm satisfied," one of Weaver's victims said as she left the courthouse after the nearly six-hour hearing. Even with his prior jail time removed from the sentence, Weaver isn't set for a chance at parole until his 70s.
Weaver was swiftly taken from the courthouse for transport to the Cambria County jail, where he's being held temporarily in preparation for an unrelated federal bomb-possession case. U.S. prosecutors have accused him of building pipe bombs, which relatives allegedly found after a 2011 police siege of his Schellsburg home.
Prior to sentencing, the victims' grandmother, Marie Zerfoss, told Ling she didn't want her relatives to spend their days looking over their shoulders for Weaver.
His younger victim - who had attended prior hearings but was absent Wednesday - can't stand to be in the same room as her abuser anymore, Zerfoss said.
"This is their justice day," she said. "This is the day they get to start their life again."

Toddler Clothes Set Bad ExampleDanielle
Here we go again right?
Clothes for our kids which encourage gender stereotypes to live on our society. One we have been trying to break for women… well forever!
Now Gymboree is jumping on the bandwagon with their Smart like Dad and Pretty Like Mommy t-shirts. Yet in the same line of clothing there is nothing along the lines of handsome like Dad or intelligent like mommy.
I don't know about you, but I am worth more than my looks in our family, and I certainly want my daughter to feel the same way as she grows up. I don't want her to feel like she has to be pretty, or make an effort to do more to change her appearance so she can live up to t-shirt stereotypes.
Same goes for my boys, of course they are handsome like their daddy, and they are incredibly smart, but I don't want their clothing to teach them they can be smart while their little sister is going to have to be a super model to get through life.
Maybe I am just looking into these shirts way more than I should be, but come on Gymboree! How about we start getting some shirts that encourage little girls to go to college, and get great grades? Do more than just be pretty.
Of course we should encourage them to take care of themselves, and I absolutely love to feel pretty, but there is also a brain in my head! Just like most women!
What do you think about the growing trend of child clothing along these lines?

Let's get this out of the way immediately: Johnny Damon is in denial. He is out of baseball because, in 2012 when he was 38 years old with bad wheels and a weak arm, he hit .222 and had a .281 on-base percentage in 207 at-bats for the Cleveland Indians -- after bouncing around the big leagues for three season.
And now that we've presented our case, we'll let Damon have his say. He told an Orlando sports-talk radio show that he got was blacklisted at the end of his career because he didn't take performance-enhancing drugs.
"I played it clean," Damon said. "I think I'm one of the only players to come out and say, 'I guarantee you there is nothing I've done that enhanced my baseball career.'"
(Actually, many players have insisted they were clean, too.)
"You can't fault someone who has a chance to make $20 million, $50 million, $100 million for going against the system to get to where they are," Damon said. "You can't fault them, but I'm as clean as they came and I got booted out of the game because I'm clean."
Oh, the irony of this (crazy) claim: Damon says he is out of baseball because he wouldn't take performance-enhancing drugs, and a former Yankees teammate, Alex Rodriguez, has been banned for a year because he allegedly wouldn't stop taking them.
"Think about all the guys who have signed big contracts," Damon said. "I sound bitter but I'm really not. I have six great kids and I get to be around them every day. But there are certain guys who have gamed the system and they still are being patted on the back. ... I'm good, but I just don't want the young kids thinking about [using]."
Damon played 18 years in the majors, and his batting average declined each year for his final five seasons. That's why he's no longer playing.
