Federal and state authorities are trying to locate, track and hopefully sink at sea a floating dock that could be tsunami debris from Japan, a state Department of Land and Natural Resources spokeswoman said Thursday.
The floating dock about 20 by 40 feet was discovered by a Maui fisherman Sept. 17 as he was looking for the KC2 buoy, about 30 miles north of Maui. The fisherman, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Maui News last week that he located the dock again Sept. 19, north of Molokai, about 15 miles off Halawa Valley.
That is the last sighting of the dock, which resembled a Japanese fishing dock that washed ashore in Oregon over the summer.
Article Photos
This dock, which may be tsunami debris from Japan, was seen floating about 15 miles off of Molokai by a Maui fisherman Sept.19. It has not been seen since and state officials are seeking help from boaters and pilots to locate the debris.
It had four small rollers on its sides, a pipe bent to the side, a post with an electrical box, and Japanese writing on a plaque. The crew member who went aboard the dock and saw the plaque said that the Japanese writing matched those found on a plaque that he saw in an image of the dock that washed ashore in Oregon.
The dock is believed to be one of three reported missing from Japan after the March 2011 tsunami, a DLNR news release said. The Japan Consulate in Honolulu has been notified and, if the dock is located again, will work with DLNR and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to confirm the dock's origin.
The hazard to vessels at sea and the potential for introduction of invasive species have led DLNR to put out a call to boaters and small-plane pilots to help locate the dock with GPS points.
"Please let us know," said Deborah Ward, DLNR information specialist, adding that it's been more than a week since the dock has been sighted. Modeling is only as accurate as the latest information, she indicated.
Based on a report Tuesday of Styrofoam found on a rocky north Molokai shoreline, DLNR arranged for a Maui helicopter contractor Wednesday to search the northern coasts of Molokai and Lanai. The three-hour flight turned up nothing, said Ward. Styrofoam is one of the components believed to add floatation to the concrete dock.
The U.S. Coast Guard conducted three flights between Molokai and Oahu on Sept. 21 and Saturday that failed to turn up the dock, DLNR said.
Once the dock is located, DLNR plans to intercept, place tracking buoys and dispose of it at sea, said Ward. To prevent possible introduction of invasive species from the dock that's floated around the northern Pacific Ocean for over a year, it is safer for the ocean environment to dispose of the dock at sea rather than on land, said Ward.
That is why "early notice" is critical, she added.
The latest modeling Wednesday had the dock floating northeast toward Kauai, said Ben Sherman, a NOAA spokesman in Washington, D.C. That is based on the Sept. 19 sighting.
"Nobody has seen it since," he said Thursday. "We don't know where it is."
Because the dock is flat and floating only a few feet out of the water, the dock might not be easily visible at sea, he said.
"Looking for debris in the open ocean is like looking for a single human hair on an athletic field," Sherman said.
Still, not being able to locate the elusive dock is "frustrating because it is a potential hazard to public safety," he said.
He noted that only 12 pieces of debris have been confirmed as originating from Fukushima, Japan, following the earthquake-tsunami last year. Last week, a blue fishing cube was declared the first piece of tsunami debris identified in Hawaiian waters.
As for the Oregon dock, the state of Oregon moved the dock away from the water's edge, cut it up and hauled it away, said Sherman.
Scientists warned that the 1.5 tons of seaweed, mussels, barnacles and starfish attached to the dock represented an environmental threat as invasive species. Volunteers scraped it all off, buried it above the high-water line, and sterilized the dock with torches, according to published reports.
Those with information about the dock or any other potential tsunami debris may call DLNR at (808) 587-0400 or send email to NOAA at email@example.com.

Attorney General Kathleen Kane is expected to announce Thursday that her office won't defend the state in a federal lawsuit that challenges Pennsylvania's ban on gay marriage, the Daily News has learned.
Multiple sources confirmed that Kane, who is named along with Gov. Corbett as a defendant in the suit, plans to make the announcement at the National Constitution Center.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit, known as Whitewood v. Corbett, on Tuesday on behalf of 21 state residents. The plaintiffs are 10 couples and one widow who want to marry here, want the state to recognize their out-of-state marriages or want equal protections granted to straight married couples.

EMMYS: 'Devious Maids' Second Life After Its Death At ABC; Creator Marc Cherry Q&A
Once a broadcast network rejects a TV pilot it has shot, it's not common that the show will go on to live a second life on another network. Such was the fate of Marc Cherry's Devious Maids, the second series he developed with ABC following his Sunday cornerstone Desperate Housewives. It seemed like a surefire programming choice for the alphabet network's fall 2012 season. But in June 2012, network executives' minds changed. Here Cherry recounts the resuscitation of Devious Maids on Lifetime, how the show became a flagship for Latino actresses and the longevity of dramedies, such as his previous hit Desperate Housewives, at the Emmys.
DEADLINE: How did Devious Maids come together? What sparked your interest in adapting the Mexican soap opera Ellas son…la Alegria del Hogar?
MARC CHERRY: I got a call from my agent that this consortium of producers known as Oasis Entertainment. They buy different formats from countries around the world. They had this show about maids from Mexico and they brought it to me thinking I could do the American version. I took a look at it. They showed me a five minute sizzle reel to catch me up to speed on the show, and it looked a lot like Desperate Housewives, so I actually passed because I already did this show. A few days went by and I kept thinking about the show and it brought back a lot of memories when I was working in Bel-Air as Dixie Carter's personal assistant. I would go to her home every day, Monday-Friday, and I was 25, so I had just moved to Hollywood. And it was interesting, because it was the first time in my life, having grown up upper middle class in Orange County, that I was the help, for lack of a better phrase. There were a lot of people working in her home – there were two housekeepers, a cook, a chauffeur, a yoga instructor – actually a comically, crazy household that deserves its own sitcom. It was an entertaining place to be. I love Hal Holbrook and Dixie, they were dear to me. It started a full circle thing in my head, and many years have past, and now I have people who work in my home. I've seen these issues from both sides, there's nothing quite like working in someone's home because you are exposed to the most intimate parts of their life. It's not a workplace like an office building, college or police station. It's something more intimate and delicate. I thought, 'I have a perspective on this.'
DEADLINE: And Eva Longoria's involvement as executive producer?
CHERRY: This is how Eva came aboard. After I decided I wanted to write about the relationship of rich people, and mansions and the people they have helping them in their house, I thought should I do this with an all Latina cast? The pros and cons were immediately apparent. The con was that I thought some people will accuse me of stereotyping Latinos, but the positive was that there's actually a lot of wonderful things we can say about the nature of the women that do this work, and because there are so many Latinos working in Bel Air and Beverly Hills, I thought this could be the first time I put together the first Latina five lead female ensemble. I thought this could be historical and I called my good friend Eva to get her opinion on it. We knew there were pitfalls, but we saw it as a fantastic opportunity. And because of casting Eva Longoria in Desperate Housewives, I was stunned at the talent pool among Latinas. She agreed that this could be a great opportunity and talked me through some of the issues that I should look at and how to shape the characters. We got together and made sure that I spoke to actual Latina maids, people who worked in Beverly Hills and Bel Air. She was really the one who gave me the courage to go ahead and approach the show with a Latina cast and I wouldn't have done it without her. She directed the first episode of the second season, did an amazing job and hopefully I'll talk her into doing another one.
DEADLINE: Is Eva involved in the writers' room and do you plan to feature her in a cameo?
CHERRY: At the beginning of the year, we pitch all the storylines to her, we get her copy of all the scripts and copies of the cuts. She'll call with thoughts and notes on certain storylines. She was intensely involved at the beginning of this season because she was directing. If she ever has a concern, she picks up the phone and hollers. As far as the cameo, I want to use her at some point in the show, and I don't want to use her as a cameo. I want her to come play a big juicy part. So, we're looking for the right story line to do that with. She's a secret weapon I'm holding behind my back and waiting to use it.
DEADLINE: The show goes to pilot, then ABC passes on it. How did this impact you? Are you hopeless? Was it like 'We're turning it down, but we're going to shop it around' since your deal was with ABC Studios?
CHERRY: It was a real surprise that they passed because the early reactions to the pilot were really good. I'm not exactly sure, I think they got a hold of some testing that made them dubious, and I think it was a tough decision for them when they passed. And quite frankly, one of the storylines I wasn't sure was written well or cast well. We ended up reshooting that storyline. I believed in the cast so much, my immediate reaction was to tell my agents: We have to find another home for this, because this one deserves to be seen because this is a special group of folks. And I was very, very lucky because people get their pilots passed on. As luck may have it, Lifetime was aware of the show and heard of the concept. We sent the pilot over to them and it took less than 2 weeks for talks to begin, and we started going over it. We decided that the one storyline needed to be reshot and rewritten. Then the people at Disney studios were helpful about working up the finances so we could do this. We made the decision to shoot in Georgia to make this economically more feasible. It was such a happy ending.
DEADLINE: When TV pilots are rejected, they wind up in a graveyard. Are TV programming executives nowadays more open minded to reviving another network's rejected pilots than, say 10 years ago? What happened with Devious Maids — is this an anomaly?
CHERRY: I think it's very rare. Most places like to develop their programs in house. I think it will always be rare that network executives do this, but on the same token, the industry is so replete with examples. Some network executive says no and another network benefits from it. Desperate Housewives was turned down in script form by every network in town and God love Steph McPherson who was running Disney Studios at the time because he got a hold of it and said 'I believe in this piece of material.' And The Sopranos,I believe was passed on at Fox. As more of those examples happen, more people are willing to take a look. I think the difficulty that networks always ask the question: Is this our brand? Which sometimes I think is a silly question to ask because if you get the right kind of show, it will change your brand. Desperate Housewives definitely had an impact on changing ABC's brand, and the executives who are open to it and look at it, can have great success by just opening their minds.
DEADLINE: By taking the show from broadcast to a cable network, were there huge sacrifices you had to make as far as budget goes?
CHERRY: Yes, definitely. We had to find ways to do it cheaper, but by shooting in Georgia it solved the vast majority of our problems.
DEADLINE: What was the major storyline that needed to be changed?
CHERRY: It was Carmen, the character played by Roselyn Sanchez. She worked for a rock and roll singer. I think I had written them way too acidicly, so I think I created a more engaging household. I came up with the characters of Alejandro and Odessa the Russian maid. I came up with characters who were easier on the senses because it was a toxic household. It worked out. The people we cast were lovely, but that was a misfire on my part.
DEADLINE: During Oscar season, a contender's behind-the-scenes challenges –i.e. the lengthy process to make and cast Gravity — are often cornerstones to their awards campaigns; often used to garner sympathy among voters. That's hardly the case with Emmy contender campaigns. Do you agree? Or do the behind-the-scene challenges help spotlight a TV contender?
CHERRY: That's an excellent question and I can't give an interesting answer. I certainly know that Desperate Housewives benefited because we were turned down by practically every studio in town and for us to become the No. 1 new series of the year, No. 4 in the ratings, and No. 1 in the demo — it was so ironic that we'd had been turned down and were a huge success. I think we got a lot of press about that, but that story is pretty rare. To this day, I can't think of another show that was so passed upon and turned out so well in terms of ratings success. I don't know if that really works. Those of us who are working in TV — we're so busy in working in it, I'm only vaguely aware of what others have gone through to get their shows done.
DEADLINE: Like Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids is a mix of comedy and drama. Do you think Emmy voters' attitudes toward dramedies have changed, particularly as they flip flop between categories?
CHERRY: It's hard for dramedies in general. I remember when Ally McBeal won the Emmy and there was some grousing because it was tonally different from the shows it was up against. And the truth of the matter it's always apples and oranges thing. We're not Two and a Half Men. We don't report to be; that's more a traditional comedy. As I approach it creatively, I can't worry about it. I just have to do my show and hope a bunch of people like it. After all these years in the business, I have to have a 'let the chips fall where they may' attitude about it. Hopefully people will see it and recognize the show.
DEADLINE: Being on Lifetime, a basic cable network, do you have more freedom than you would at a broadcast network with the show? Can you get away with more?
CHERRY: Yes. (With Desperate Housewives) on every episode and every other episode we had notes from the Broadcast Standards & Practices over concerns with lines or showing too much in one scene. So far, I'm on my 23rd episode with Devious Maids and maybe received one note about it. So I've felt that there's a relaxed attitude about it, not that doing we're doing anything particularly racy. I would say the biggest difference between cable and network is that since they asked me to do 13 episodes this season, it's a much saner process. I have more time at the onset of the season to work out my storylines and plot. That makes all the difference in the world. I'm more prepared and that's because I have more time to do the work. I can' t think about doing 23 episodes a season.
DEADLINE: Do you have any other shows that you are looking to put into development?
CHERRY: I'm not sure. At this point, I think I will probably look to produce, but from a distance. The time is coming to a close on my day-to-day showrunning. I'm just getting old. I just had my 52nd birthday. There's some exciting talent out there I would like to supervise. I'm eyeing other opportunities. People know I'm interested in theater and I'm getting calls from New York and there are screenplay opportunities. As long as Devious is going, I want to be a part of it. We are the little show that could.
DEADLINE: This is a Pro-Latino show. As a Republican, is the party missing out on something when it comes to their hard stand on immigration?
CHERRY: Here's what I'm going to say and I'm not a spokesman. I don't ever comment on the Republicans, even though I'm a registered one. I don't agree on their every position. Let me just say publicly that I am fully in support of the dreamers in this country. It's a wonderful country and I can understand why anyone would come here and be in support of that, and I think both Democrats and Republicans totally know that our immigration situation is a mess and should be fixed. I'm not articulate enough to offer up any policies, but I definitely support the dreamers and want to see this situation resolved in a beneficial way.
Marc Cherry is so awesome and such an inspiration to aspiring television writers. Marc, I'd give my right arm to work in your writers' room ANYDAY!!
Kudos, Marc, for being open about your political views. And yes, this is a wonderful country, I also hope immigration reform happens soon!
we want more, these actress and actors are truly great. I have no tv cable so my entertainment Is DVDs and streaming so please don't let them cancel this show is the best
What do you mean it's "not uncommon?"
It's still very uncommon that a failed pilot finds a second life…
This guy just rubs me the wrong way. A Caucasian Republican from Orange County thinking he has something important to say regarding Latina domestic workers in West LA? Mr. Cherry's experience working with Dixie Carter sounds like a pool party compared to these mostly older women working much too hard for minimum wage.
A GAY Caucasian Republican from Orange County.
I know he says he's a "registered" Republican, implying that he doesn't fully support the GOP policies, but
after the recent Texas GOP platform was published, and the GOP's relentless attacks against gay marriage, adoption, etc, Marc you might reconsider your political affliation.
I can't stand Devious Maids and their tired stereotypes
All those Latina actresses are working and producing because of Mr. Cherry.
Is Devious Maids in danger of winning an Emmy?
Is it that much of a reach that estrogen-friendly Lifetime, half owned by ABC, picked up this all female series that ABC ultimately rejected?
CBS,NBC,Universial USA Syfy I have had it with your discontinuing good shows so one's that pay for your rates,stay on like Rules of engangment.anytime you have fake laughing in the background.My Directv contract will soon be over I will put an antena on my balcony and what ever I get so be it.To pay for TV is out of my buget.
Why do cable networks get away with only doing 8-13 episodes? I dont get it. They repeat episodes so much, I'd think they'd be able to do more.
Please more, more. I love this show. I can hardly get by on 60 minutes a week, now it is almost over, again….. Donna
I love devious maids and I pray there will be a season 3!!!

ON A BALMY Friday afternoon late last month, Mary Ann McHenry of Center City obliged a stranger, handing him the cigarette he'd asked for.
Imagine her surprise and sheer horror when, hours later, the same bum who bummed a smoke from her had his hands wrapped around her throat.
"He kept screaming, 'Where's the money, bitch?' " a bruised McHenry, 46, said last night in a neighbor's home, where the attack took place.
"I had no breath; I couldn't even scream," she said.
"Then I passed out."
Kenneth Todd, 47, who police say brutally beat McHenry and made off with only a MacBook in that home invasion July 25, was still on the lam last night, with cops and U.S. Marshals hot on his trail.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI -- A brief police standoff at a Plainfield Township hotel -- involving a bond absconder with an 8-month-old child -- ended peacefully this morning.
The incident began about 11 a.m. at the Comfort Suites, 350 Dodge St. NE, after authorities with the state Attorney General's office went there to arrest the alleged absconder for a parole violation.
Officers had received information he was staying at the hotel.
"He told them he was not going to come out," Kent County Undersheriff Jon Hess said.
A brief standoff then ensued with the 32-year-old man, who had his 8-month-old child in the room.
Police said he had warrants against him for Friend of the Court violations, traffic offenses, assault and drug offenses. He failed to appear in court on some of the violations, police said.
Hess said police called for negotiators Monday morning, partly because they had information that the man had carried weapons in the past.
The mother of the child was called to talk with him, Hess said, and the man eventually was arrested without further incident.
The standoff ended after about 40 minutes, before negotiators had time to reach the scene.

By Jim Garamone, American Forces Press ServiceApril 12, 2011
WASHINGTON, April 11, 2011 -- Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates wanted an Army chief of staff willing to challenge the status quo, and he believes he has one in Gen. Martin E. Dempsey.
Dempsey succeeded Gen. George W. Casey Jr. as the Army chief of staff during a ceremony at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Va., today. Due to a family tragedy, Casey and his family did not attend the event.
"Whatever challenges confront us in the future, your Army will respond with the same courage and resolve with which it has responded over the past 235 years," Dempsey said.
Gates extolled the new chief of staff saying that he was impressed with Dempsey's "keen mind, strategic vision, quiet confidence and the energy he brings to every assignment."
Dempsey served as the commander of the 1st Armored Division in Baghdad in 2003. He then helped put in place the Iraqi army and police. He served as the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command and stepped in as acting commander when Navy Adm. William Fallon resigned.
"While serving as acting CENTCOM commander, General Dempsey reorganized the headquarters, published new theater strategy and campaign plans, all the while managing the rotations and deployments of tens of thousands of troops throughout his command's [area of responsibility]," Gates said.
He moved to the Army's Training and Doctrine Command where he "spread the gospel of adaptation in a world, where, as he is fond of saying: 'Uncertainty is the only certainty in life in this century,'" the secretary said. "He has pushed the Army to become more versatile and decentralized, and overhauled its approach to war-fighting, publishing a new capstone concept that elevates adaptation to an institutional imperative."
Today the Army is in transition, which is not a new phenomenon, Dempsey said in his remarks. The Army is always in transition, but this one is unique because the Army is entering its 10th year of war with an all-volunteer force. The general called that an "incredible testament to America's Soldiers and their families."
The way ahead will be tough and the service must "center its sights on who we are as an Army."
Dempsey spoke about themes important to him and the service moving forward.
"We will provide whatever it takes to achieve our objectives in the current fight," he said. "We will win in an increasingly competitive learning environment -- that's the domain in which we must prevail."
The service must develop a shared vision of the Army in 2020.
"We will design units and prepare leaders to over match their adversaries," he said. "We will master our fundamentals and develop deep global expertise."
He said the Army will continue to change, but that the service will change only when it contributes to the versatility and relevance of the nation's military instrument of power.
In an era of constraint, the Army must maintain a reputation as a good steward of America's resources.
"We will remain connected to America, and we will succeed in all of that because we will re-connect, engage, empower and hold our leaders accountable," he said.
Between now and June 14, the Army Birthday, Dempsey said he will engage the senior military and civilian leaders of all services. He will publish "a document that charts our way ahead including a portfolio of initiatives that chart our way ahead to deliver on the themes."
Trust is the heart of the military, Dempsey said.
"My commitment and expectation to this great Army is that we will work on strengthening the bond of trust among those with whom we work, among whom we support and among those who march with us into battle," he said. "On the foundation of trust we will overcome any challenge we confront in the future."

It's that timeless tale of a lovely young lady for whom inclement weather and fate have her crossing paths with a scarecrow, a lion, a tin man and of course a wicked witch.
By cleverly "localizing" Frank Baum's classic "The Wizard of Oz," however, Canfield Village Middle School drama teacher Kandace Cleland brings together a cast of approximately 50 whose adventures find them ambling about the merry old land of Canfield.
Family, friends, and community are welcome to join in the fun as CVMS will present Cleland's original musical, "OZ: I have a feeling we're not in Canfield anymore!" The production will be held at 7 p.m. May 3, 4, and 5 in the Canfield High School auditorium.

Photo by Kathleen Palumbo, Town Crier correspondent
Not yet in costume, but certainly ready in character and mind are several members of the cast and crew of CVMS upcoming production, "OZ: I don't think we're in Canfield Anymore." Pictured are: Andrew Letscher, who will play the Lion; Megan Gokala, a Munchkin and wink; Stephanie Franco, a wink; Olivia Slater, a flower and a wink; Riley Chiu, on the crew; and Maddy Urig, who plays the Scarecrow.
Sharing that she chose the "Wizard of Oz" because it had so many different characters, "I had a nice group of kids and I wanted everyone to have a part," said Cleland. Adding that the expense of acquiring rights wasn't feasible, Cleland added, "I've done playwriting before and thought wouldn't it be fun to have it more local."
Regarding her decision to bring Canfield and Oz together, "With the depressed economy, I wanted something that we could feel good about," said Cleland, who added that in the classroom, she often addresses pertinent issues such as bullying, etc. through drama, and thought the play would offer a vehicle to address tolerance and courage.
"Despite advanced warnings from the Weather Channel, Dot and Toto, portrayed by Rosie Bresson and Karina Conner, go on a whirlwind adventure to the land of OZ," said Cleland, explaining that along the way, they meet friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion, played by Maddy Urig, Justin Jickess, and Andrew Almira respectively, and Belinda the Good Witch, played by Emma Hartshorn.
In addition to the lead characters, which also include the Wicked Witch of the West, portrayed by Annie Vallas, her sister in the East, played by Olivia Ricciutti, and of course Lake Bennett as the Wizard, Cleland said there will be an amazing array of characters from Munchkins, Crows, Gardenias, Winks, and Evil Monkeys. All of them share Cleland's self-proclaimed affinity for the Motown sound and present a familiar school environment many will recognize.
Tickets will be available at the door each evening of the show; cost of seats on Thursday will be $5, and Friday and Saturday's tickets will be $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.
According to Cleland, who can be reached for additional information at firstname.lastname@example.com, the play will include video production, guaranteeing a great view for all in attendance.
Having created a friendly neighborhood "Oz," "It's like Canfield there's no place like home," said Cleland.

Former city public works director David Callaway, who was convicted in October on conspiracy, criminal coercion and invasion of privacy charges, was sentenced Friday to a four-year term.
Callaway's older brother, Ronald, and a family friend also were convicted in the scheme. They were sentenced last month.
Prosecutors say the men lured Atlantic City Councilman Eugene Robinson to a motel in November 2006 and secretly videotaped him engaging in a sex act with a prostitute.
The tape was leaked to the media in an attempt to get Robinson, a political rival, to resign. He refused and contacted authorities instead.

Season update: Snyder, who also runs cross country in the fall at Northern Bedford, will compete at states on Friday, Nov. 2.

She is just an exceptional athlete. She is a special kid, such a hardworker. Not every kid could do what she does. She takes this all upon herself to do all of this. She is all over the state [for cross country]. It takes a special individual to perform and excel at all of these."

Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service
(August 15, 2011)
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y.—Greg Biffle should watch his back, given Boris Said's comments after Monday's rain-delayed Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International.
After the drivers traded shots on the racetrack, they squared off on pit road after Marcos Ambrose took the checkered flag for his first Cup win.
Said had relayed through his spotter that he thought Biffle (who had run out of fuel on Lap 28 and was two laps down) was racing him dirty, Said's crew chief, Nick Harrison, explained after the race. Said told his spotter he wanted to settle the score with Biffle after the race.
After crew members restrained the drivers on pit road, Said didn't mince words when talking about his adversary.
"He's the most unprofessional little scaredy cat I've ever seen in my life," Said fumed. "He wouldn't even fight me like a man after. So, if someone texts me his address, I'll go see him Wednesday at his house and show him what he really needs. He needs a whipping, and I'm going to give it to him. He was flipping me off, giving me the finger. Totally unprofessional, two laps down—I mean he is a chump.
"I went over there to go talk to him. He wouldn't even let me get out of the car. He comes over and throws a few little baby punches, and then when I get out, he runs away and hides behind some big guys. But he won't hide from me long. I'll find him. I won't settle it out on the track. It's not right to wreck cars, but he'll show up at a race with a black eye one of these days. I'll see him somewhere."
For a fleeting moment, Keselowski had third win in sight
Brad Keselowski walked stiffly to the dais in the Watkins Glen International media center, still suffering from the broken ankle he suffered Aug. 3 in a testing accident at Road Atlanta.
For much of Monday's race, Keselowski ignored the pain as he drove toward the front. Just after the green flag signaled the start of two overtime laps, Keselowski took advantage of a miscue by Kyle Busch to take the lead.
He held the top spot through Turn 2 and up the hill through the esses, but race winner Marcos Ambrose powered past Keselowski's No. 2 Dodge out of the inner loop.
"We had a shot at it, and that's all you can ask for as a driver—great long-run speed, and we were able to get to the front," Keselowski told Sporting News. "I'll look back at this one and wish that I had been in better condition and wish that I had more experience or was able to run the Nationwide race the day before and maybe I could have made the most of my car because quite frankly I think I had one of the cars to beat.
"But that's just the way it goes. It kind of is what it is."
Keselowski, who skipped Saturday's Nationwide race because of his injury, nevertheless solidified his wild-card position, moving up four spots to 14th in the standings.
"(I'm) proud of the day, proud of a good finish," Keselowski said. "I think we're on great standing now. At least we moved up a bunch in the points, which is good. Got to make the most of that wild-card stuff that we were able to build up."
Reutimann, Ragan escape injury from vicious wreck
David Reutimann and David Ragan were rattled but uninjured after a vicious crash on the final lap of Monday's race.
The wreck began after contact between Ragan and Boris Said sent Ragan's car into the outside guardrail. Ragan then cut across the track, tagging Reutimann, whose car flipped upside-down and rolled before slamming into the guardrail.
"I felt like I had a good run, I felt like I had Boris clear and I think he got a little better run than we did and he just hooked us," Ragan said. "He certainly could have given a little more of a break and we all could have gotten through there and not torn up anything. But he was aggressive and we were all aggressive. He hooked me and I hit hard."
Said indicated that the incident was caused by hard racing, but said he felt bad about the accident.
"I didn't want to wreck him, but I had to stay on the track and he didn't give me any room," Said said. "We both collided."
Reutimann hit hard as well, and the jar of the first impact with the inside guardrail turned his car upside-down.
"It didn't really need to happen, unfortunately, but that's just how it goes," Reutimann said. "This is one of the bigger hits I would say, but it's part of the gig. You sign up to do this stuff every once and a while and you're going to hit something. As fast as we're going, you hit stuff pretty hard."
Ragan criticized the track for the guardrail, which had no tire barrier or any kind of protective barrier, and Reutimann had similar sentiments.

ONE day last year, I sat in suspense, very close to my phone, radio and TV. A few days earlier, I had been told by an impeccable source that former black consciousness activist and University of Cape Town vice-chancellor Mamphela Ramphele would be joining the Democratic Alliance (DA).
In fact, for many weeks before that rumour, there were many others and all of them were about DA leader Helen Zille.
Other impeccable sources regaled me with stories about how Zille had already been ready for many months to hand over the party leadership to a credible black leader if such a leader were to materialise.
If the political gossip is anything to go by, the poor woman has been waiting for quite a long time.
Maybe part of the waiting was informed by the belief, either on her part or that of others, that such a black leader does exist, but is not a member of the DA.
If the rumours were grounded in political reality, are Zille's prayers about to be answered? Is last year's rumour about Ramphele joining the DA about to become a reality? By the way, the stories of my impeccable sources ended with Ramphele putting her toes in DA waters only to recoil because a cold shiver ran down her spine.
Now, new impeccable sources have been whispering in the ears of a former politician, journalists and political commentators that Ramphele is about to enter the political arena. The first thing to remember is the fact that she is already in the political arena.
What people mean when they say she is about to enter the political arena is that she is moving, assuming the rumours are true, from the nonparty-political space to the party-political domain.
The second thing to remember is that political parties do not occupy the entirety of our democratic space.
Our democratic space consists of both the party and nonparty political spaces. What is important in this respect is for us to realise that the quality of our democratic experience depends on what we do and, therefore, on what happens in both the party-political and nonparty-political spaces.
The fact that ours is an uncompetitive party-political space characterised by the single-party dominance of the African National Congress (ANC) should not detract from this argument.
In addition, the fact that opposition parties in South Africa are too weak at the moment to constitute alternatives that are credible enough to act as agents of restraint is not good enough a reason for us to think that our political salvation depends solely on political parties or the words and deeds of individual political leaders.
Put differently, what should citizens do when they are failed by both the ruling party and opposition parties?
Shouldn't they rely on their own agency and political engagement in the nonparty-political space, of which civil society is an important component? This is the space Ramphele currently occupies.
If the rumours about her entering the "political arena" are true, two questions arise: First, is she forming her own party or joining the DA? Second, as a party politician, is she not going to compromise the respect and credibility she has accumulated in the civil society space?
If she forms her own party, she will be accused of fracturing the opposition at a time when opposition parties are talking about how to co-operate during the campaign period ahead of next year's elections.
Further, given the fact that the space on the right of the ANC is characterised by the single-party dominance of the DA, and left of the ANC there is nothing (apart from the alliance partners of the ruling party) that is worth mentioning, how is she going to position such a party? Also, how, in class and racial terms, is she going to position the new political formation?
She must bear in mind that attempts at foregrounding the constitution and the rule of law in ways that seek to project the ANC as a threat to constitutional values have, so far, failed miserably.
The failure to excite the popular imagination through these issues does not mean ANC voters do not care about the rule of law and constitutional values.
What they want to know is how opposition parties intend to deal with issues such as poverty and unemployment, especially among those who were oppressed during apartheid. She must ask herself whether her voice still resonates with the poor and the working class.
Over and above this, she must be very clear about how she will navigate class and race contradictions and the convergence of interests if her new political venture is to maximise the kind of support that, in future, will transcend the cleavages of history, race and class.
Her greatest challenge, however, lies in the ability to export the values and principles that have earned her respect and admiration from the civil society space to the party-political space.
The party-political space is ugly and suffers from duplicity, a surplus of broken promises and a deficit of honesty.
If she forms her own party or joins the DA, these and other vicissitudes and vagaries of party politics will become part of her new political universe.
In fact, she has already been given a taste of how ugly things may become if she enters the realm of party politics.
Surely, she hasn't forgotten how her own morality was attacked by some ANC leaders, when she commented on what she felt was wrong with the moral content of the ANC.
References to her relationship with the late black consciousness leader, Steve Biko, are but a taste of what will happen if she enters party politics and remains uncompromising in her criticism of the ANC.
What she must pray for is that moral issues will continue to score very low as an election issue, or that such attacks will say more about those doing the attacking than the intended victim of their attacks.
For now, what is important is the possibility that the formation of a new party may be a ruse.
In other words, whatever she decides to do, if she enters party politics, it is probably a winding but short road that leads to the welcoming arms of Zille.
On the other hand, her entry may be the beginnings of some kind of realignment outside of the DA.
But such a re-alignment may deliver nothing better than the consolidation of the political interests of some sections of the black middle class, with minimal support from minority voters, for whom the DA has become a political home.
Whether she enters party politics or not, the period between next year's and the 2019 elections will test the capacity of opposition forces to reinvent themselves.
Further, it is clear that the path to an electoral defeat for the ANC will begin with a two-party system in national electoral politics. It remains to be seen whether Ramphele will defy history by succeeding where the United Democratic Movement, Independent Democrats and the Congress of the People failed.
Whether the rumours are true or not, they are a measure of the desperation that exists for the emergence of a credible alternative to the ANC.

On July 12, 1840, Sister St. Theodore and five other Sisters of Providence of Ruillé — Sister St. Vincent Ferrer Gagé, Sister Basilide Sénéschal, Sister Olympiade Boyer, Sister Mary Xavier Lerée and Sister Mary Liguori Tiercin — left France for a journey to the unknown. Sister St. Theodore wrote in her journal about this momentous day:
"The moment of separation and of death had come at last. We had to leave all. After having made the most painful sacrifices, which had cost our hearts so much, we had to break the last ties by tearing ourselves away from our dear 'Providence' of Ruillé that home so tenderly loved by all the Sisters of Providence."
The six women religious left Le Havre, France, along the Normandy coast, July 27 on the Cincinnati, bound for the United States and a Providence journey.

Background: Although curricular reforms have attempted to address sources of stress in medical residency, no recent studies have examined the financial or emotional situations of current medicine residents.
Objective: To question medicine residents about financial status, educational debt, moonlighting, and psychological issues.
Design: Survey distributed in a nonrandomized fashion to medicine residents.
Setting: All 415 U.S. medicine residency programs.
Results: According to the questionnaire responses submitted by the 4128 (18%) participating residents, a substantial number of residents had financial and emotional distress that could have interfered with training. The reported educational debt was at least $50 000 for 1657 (42%) of the respondents and at least $100 000 for 737 (19%). The monthly disposable income was $100 or less for 1620 (43%) of the residents, and 637 residents (16%) could not afford safe housing. Among respondents in their 2nd through 5th year of postgraduate training, 2187 (52%) had insufficient funds to purchase books and equipment, and 678 (29%) could not afford the required fees for the American Board of Internal Medicine certifying examination; 2659 (33%) worked as moonlighters, and this percentage increased progressively with increasing educational debt.Four or five depressive symptoms during residency were reported by 1461 (35%) residents. Eight hundred ninety-nine residents (23%) thought they had become less humanistic over the course of their residency training; 2347 (61%) reported becoming more cynical. Female residents were more likely than male residents to report increased cynicism and multiple depressive symptoms. Increased cynicism and depressive symptoms were associated with increasing educational debt.
Conclusions: Despite recent curricular reforms, an alarming number of current medicine residents report depressive symptoms, increasing cynicism, and decreasing humanism, which were associated with increasing educational debt and a need to moonlight for financial survival. Ongoing curricular reform, legislative relief from early loan repayment, and salary increases may be necessary to address these problems.
White bars = residents with four or five depressive symptoms; gray bars = residents with increased cynicism.

on January 27, 2013 - 1:34 PM
, updated January 27, 2013 at 1:35 PM
One of the better pieces of news last year for prospective college students and their parents came out of the University at Buffalo.
When UB kicked off its "Finish in 4" program this fall, it became the latest in a growing number of schools around the nation – including Fredonia State and Medaille colleges – to offer incoming freshman a guarantee to graduate in four years.
"We're really proud of this," said A. Scott Weber, senior vice provost for academic affairs at UB. "It's a real commitment by the university."
While pledging a four-year degree in four years may not seem like much of a promise, it's an issue that's hitting home.
In recent years, more U.S. college students have been taking five or six years to graduate – adding to their student debt load at a time of soaring tuition.
Consider: Only 38 percent of freshman at public institutions in 2004 earned a bachelor's degree four years later, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. About 58 percent graduated within six years.
The numbers are a little better at UB, where Weber said roughly 47 percent graduate in four years, but "Finish in 4" is expected to push up those four-year graduation rates even more.
Consider: Some 1,400 UB freshman signed up for the university's "Finish in 4" program this fall during its inaugural year.
That's more than 40 percent of the entire freshman class of 3,400.
Here's how it works:
While they're not required to participate in the program, first-time, full-time freshman at UB can sign a pledge to do their part to graduate in four years, including keeping up their grades, routinely meeting with their adviser and making school a priority over their work schedule.
In turn, the university ensures students get the access to the advisement and required courses needed to graduate in four years.
If students fulfill their obligations, but still don't graduate on time, they'll be able to complete the required courses for graduation free of charge.
Tuition and fees during the 2012-13 school year is $7,989 for in-state residents and $16,190 for out-of-state residents.
"We really poured a lot of university resources into providing a much clearer path to graduation, more course availability and better advising," Weber said.
In fact, UB – thanks in large part to the additional funding from tuition increases – added some 300 more course sections this fall to meet demand and do a better job of keeping all students on track to graduate in timely fashion, Weber said.
That's a good start to 2013 at UB, where 3,418 freshman were enrolled this fall.
That's an increase of 11 percent from the freshmen class of 3,069 that arrived in the fall of 2011.
This year's freshman class also has an average SAT score of 1,155 – the same as last year – and a high school average of 91.6 – which is nearly identical to last year's, as well.
"It's a significantly larger class that came in this year," Weber said. "We feel like we continue to be a very, very attractive option for students locally, across New York state and internationally."

Mazda Issues Recall Over Spider in Fuel Tank : Discovery News
A simple spider has tipped the car manufacturer off to a potentially dangerous problem.
A spider in the engine of a Mazda 6 sedan has prompted the car manufacturer to issue a recall.
The webs and nests can block air flow in the fuel tank's vent and this could cause the tank to leak or even catch fire.
Mazda has a creepy problem: A common spider species seems to have developed a hankering for making nests and weaving webs inside the engines of its sporty Mazda 6 sedan.
The Japanese automaker said Thursday it will be recalling 65,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico to outfit them with special screens to keep the spiders out.
"There doesn't seem to be any particular reason why he's chosen the Mazda 6," spokesman Jeremy Barnes told AFP.
"It apparently likes to go zoom-zoom from the best we can tell," he said with a laugh in reference to Mazda's advertising tag-line.
While the spider problem sounds silly, Barnes said it can be dangerous.
The webs and nests can block air flow in the fuel tank's vent and this could cause the tank to leak or even catch fire. So far there have been no accidents or fires, but Madza isn't taking any chances.
Since the problem wasn't restricted to a particular geographic region, Mazda thought it best to recall all its affected vehicles in areas where the yellow sac spider lives, Barnes said.
The problem was first discovered in October 2009 when a dealer found a spider web in a canister vent line when a customer brought their Mazda 6 in for repairs after it started leaking fuel.
The dealer investigated further and it was determined that the web blocked up the vent and cause "excessive vacuum" in the fuel tank which "eventually resulted in a crack in the fuel tank through repetitive negative pressure stress," Mazda said in filings with safety regulators.
Some 19 other spider nests have been discovered in Mazda 6 vehicles across the United States. But only in the 4-cylinder versions, so maybe it isn't that sporty after all.
Dealers will inspect all the vehicles for cracks, clean out the vents, install a "spring to prohibit spider intrusion" and reprogram the powertrain control module to avoid a build up of pressure in the tank.
If any webs or damage are found, the canister and fuel tank will be replaced.

Toprol XL
The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling:
- Worsening angina or myocardial infarction [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Worsening heart failure [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Worsening AV block [see CONTRAINDICATIONS].
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The adverse reaction information from clinical trials does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse events that appear to be related to drug use and for approximating rates.
Hypertension And Angina
Most adverse reactions have been mild and transient. The most common ( > 2%) adverse reactions are tiredness, dizziness, depression, diarrhea, shortness of breath, bradycardia, and rash.
Heart Failure
In the MERIT-HF study comparing TOPROL-XL in daily doses up to 200 mg (mean dose 159 mg once-daily; n=1990) to placebo (n=2001), 10.3% of TOPROL-XL patients discontinued for adverse reactions vs. 12.2% of placebo patients.
The table below lists adverse reactions in the MERIT-HF study that occurred at an incidence of ≥ 1% in the TOPROL-XL group and greater than placebo by more than 0.5%, regardless of the assessment of causality.

|Accident and/or injury
Post-operative Adverse Events
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 8351 patients with or at risk for atherosclerotic disease undergoing non-vascular surgery and who were not taking betaâ"blocker therapy, TOPROL-XL 100 mg was started 2 to 4 hours prior to surgery then continued for 30 days at 200 mg per day. TOPROL-XL use was associated with a higher incidence of bradycardia (6.6% vs. 2.4%; HR, 2.74; 95% CI 2.19, 3.43), hypotension (15% vs. 9.7%; HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.37, 1.74), stroke (1.0% vs. 0.5%; HR 2.17; 95% CI 1.26, 3.74) and death (3.1% vs. 2.3%; HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.03, 1.74) compared to placebo.
Post-Marketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of TOPROL-XL or immediate-release metoprolol. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Cardiovascular: Cold extremities, arterial insufficiency (usually of the Raynaud type), palpitations, peripheral edema, syncope, chest pain and hypotension.
Respiratory: Wheezing (bronchospasm), dyspnea.
Central Nervous System: Confusion, short-term memory loss, headache, somnolence, nightmares, insomnia, anxiety/nervousness, hallucinations, paresthesia.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea, dry mouth, constipation, flatulence, heartburn, hepatitis, vomiting.
Hypersensitive Reactions: Pruritus.
Miscellaneous: Musculoskeletal pain, arthralgia, blurred vision, decreased libido, male impotence, tinnitus, reversible alopecia, agranulocytosis, dry eyes, worsening of psoriasis, Peyronieâ™s disease, sweating, photosensitivity, taste disturbance.
Potential Adverse Reactions
In addition, there are adverse reactions not listed above that have been reported with other beta-adrenergic blocking agents and should be considered potential adverse reactions to TOPROL-XL.
Central Nervous System: Reversible mental depression progressing to catatonia; an acute reversible syndrome characterized by disorientation for time and place, short-term memory loss, emotional lability, clouded sensorium, and decreased performance on neuropsychometrics.
Hematologic: Agranulocytosis, nonthrombocytopenic purpura, thrombocytopenic purpura.
Hypersensitive Reactions: Laryngospasm, respiratory distress.
Laboratory Test Findings
Clinical laboratory findings may include elevated levels of serum transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase.
Read the Toprol XL (metoprolol succinate) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Catecholamine Depleting Drugs
Catecholamine depleting drugs (e.g., reserpine, monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors) may have an additive effect when given with beta-blocking agents. Observe patients treated with TOPROL-XL plus a catecholamine depletor for evidence of hypotension or marked bradycardia, which may produce vertigo, syncope, or postural hypotension.
CYP2D6 Inhibitors
Drugs that inhibit CYP2D6 such as quinidine, fluoxetine, paroxetine, and propafenone are likely to increase metoprolol concentration. In healthy subjects with CYP2D6 extensive metabolizer phenotype, coadministration of quinidine 100 mg and immediate-release metoprolol 200 mg tripled the concentration of S-metoprolol and doubled the metoprolol elimination half-life. In four patients with cardiovascular disease, coadministration of propafenone 150 mg t.i.d. with immediate-release metoprolol 50 mg t.i.d. resulted in two- to five-fold increases in the steady-state concentration of metoprolol. These increases in plasma concentration would decrease the cardioselectivity of metoprolol.
Digitalis, Clonidine, And Calcium Channel Blockers
Digitalis glycosides, clonidine, diltiazem and verapamil slow atrioventricular conduction and decrease heart rate. Concomitant use with beta blockers can increase the risk of bradycardia.
If clonidine and a beta blocker, such as metoprolol are coadministered, withdraw the beta-blocker several days before the gradual withdrawal of clonidine because beta-blockers may exacerbate the rebound hypertension that can follow the withdrawal of clonidine. If replacing clonidine by betablocker therapy, delay the introduction of beta-blockers for several days after clonidine administration has stopped [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Country of Origin
What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
The Best Gift to Me Ever
Ahhh, for the "notes," yes. The apple is first in the morning, yet sometimes the rosehips are first, followed by vanilla or was it the hibiscus? The blend is the best I've ever tasted of all teas I've tried. A note to tea lovers--you'll love it too. I add a tad more stevia or a smidgen of honey for my taste buds. Purchased this tea in Denver and cannot locate in the small town where I now live. Will try the one health food store and if unable to find, will purchase right here on line. Must hurry, only three round tea bags left. The 36 tea bags are a bargain for the price at Republic's site. I might look around for Chamomile and Ginger teas here too. Cheers!
I found this tea while researching ways to lower my blood pressure naturally. I kept coming across the Hibiscus Plant. I decided to try it. I found that the taste was sweet and smooth. If you are a tea drinker you understand that, if not, the tea was great tasting and had a lot of flavor to it. I did not need to add sugar, lemon, or anything. It is perfect just the way it is. I also, understand the health benefits of apples but the vanilla, hibiscus, and apple together! Whew! The tea is amazing. Give it a try and I promise you will be glad that you did. Its relaxing, satisfying, and does not have that
Surprised myself with this one
I'm not a fan of any sort of "flowery" teas but I decided to try this on a whim to round out my sampler pack. I was pleasantly surprised at the light, crisp flavor and lovely scent. I would likely order this again in a sample pack so I could try it iced.
Wonderful flavor!
Hibiscus teas were recommended to me as a way to help lower my BP. The Republic of Tea was the recommended business to purchase from. I am thrilled with the results that I'm getting by simply enjoying a delicious cup of tea. The Vanilla Apple is my favorite. I'll be a fan and customer forever!
Fabulous tasting tea. I drink a lot of black tea so I'm used to a stronger taste, this has just as much taste as black tea and it's healthy and the apple really does balance out the hibiscus. It is really good if you have a sweet tooth but don't want the calories. I added about 1/2 teaspoon of stevia and only steeped for about 2 minutes, it was perfect!!!

Myrtle Lechner Sacco, 107, of Hammonton, a former financial secretary for St. James Lutheran Church in Folsom, N.J., for 30 years, died on Monday, June 23, at Heritage Assisted Living in Hammonton.
"She saw it throughout her own family," son Paul said of his mother's longevity.
"Her mother lived to 100. She had an aunt that was 100," and, he noted, her brother, Louis Lechner, is 93.
Only two years ago did Mrs. Sacco move from her Hammonton family home to Heritage.
"She came here at age 21, to be married, from Vineland," said her son, who is 83.
"That was a condition" of agreeing to marriage, he said. " 'Build me a house and I'll marry you,' " she told her fiance, Charles Sacco. And he did.

In dual track meets, having one standout athlete, or two for that matter, doesn't guarantee much. Dual meets are won with balance. Rancocas Valley has it this spring, and that's why the Red Devils are 8-0 in the Burlington County League Liberty Division.
They clinched the title with a defeat of Holy Cross on Wednesday.
``That's what we've been able to do this year, put it all together,'' said Rancocas Valley coach Joe Holland. ``Usually, we've been good in sprints or distance or here and there, but we never have outstanding performers in all the areas.''
