Online Printing – A Brief Guide
What follows is a brief overview of online printing: the advantages and disadvantages of using online print companies, a primer on the process itself, a discussion of color quality and accuracy, and useful pointers for selecting online printing services. This is meant solely as an overview, and the company of your choice should walk you through any issues or concerns you may still have. However, getting a good idea of what you need to know before you get started may help ensure the overall process is a bit smoother.
The Pros and Cons of Online Printing Companies
There are a number of things to consider as you choose between online printing companies and traditional "brick and mortar" stores. Here are some of the more common advantages and disadvantages to using printing services online:
PRO: Online Printing Is Convenient.
There is no denying that using online print companies for your printing needs is convenient, saving you a trip to your local print shop. This can also be a time and money saver, as you would not need to drive from shop to shop comparing prices.
CON: Online Printing Is Impersonal.
True, you can lose some of the one-on-one interaction that you might have in a "brick and mortar" shop, but as customer service seems to have fallen by the wayside over the past few years, will you really miss not having to look someone in the eye while they stare blankly at you and end up getting the order wrong anyway? Moreover, because you'll primarily be communicating via e-mail, much of your correspondence will be in writing, which is important should something go wrong. This also ensures that the company of your choice can refer to your e-mail to make certain they understand your instructions. Should you require more personal communication methods, most online companies will discuss your order with you over the phone or in an online chat session.
PRO: Online Printing Is Inexpensive.
Because they are able to lower their expenses and overhead that accompany a physical location, online print companies can pass these savings on to the customer. The low overhead costs also mean that most online printing services can invest the savings in better equipment, which leads to higher quality products.
CON: Online Printing Is Uncertain.
When you order from an online printer, you run the risk of your print products not being shipped in a timely manner and, in some cases, that the order is not shipped at all. The good news is that this happens quite rarely if you've chosen a reputable company. Shipping with most online printing services is extremely fast, and if you plan ahead, the money you can save is well worth any wait time you may experience.
The Process: How to Use an Online Printing Service
Though they may vary in the specific ways they accomplish their goals, online print services will generally follow the same basic path from start (design stage) to finish (delivery of your printed product). Here we will take a quick look at the process, which can be broken down into 5 steps:
Step 1: The Design Stage
At this stage, you are just starting the process of having a printed product created. The design stage will vary depending on your approach. If you hire a graphic design service, your task will be to advise the designers on the vision that your company is seeking for this project. You'll talk with the design team and may even provide them with examples of your business's printed products, in order to give them an idea of what style and look you want. If you create a design on your own, you will do so with either graphic design software or design templates; in both cases, you will be making all the decisions about color, font, text, layout, and logo placement. Once you've finished the design, you simply upload it to the printer's website.
Step 2: The Proof Stage
The second stage in the process occurs after your design has been uploaded. It is at this point that it is necessary for you as the customer to see a sample version of the product, and this is called a proof. A digital proof is a PDF file that you receive electronically, while a hard copy proof is a physical copy of your design that is delivered to your door. And while digital proofs are free, hard copies usually incur an additional charge. Hard copy proofs are also printed on proof paper instead of your final paper selection. This stage is crucial because you will be able to inspect the proof for flaws, mistakes, and typographical errors prior to the final product being printed. Resist the urge to just skim over the work at this stage as it could come back to haunt you later! With many online printers, you can also discuss the proof with a company representative for free. However, if your project needs a more thorough review by the printing company, there most likely will be an extra charge for this service. This may be a good idea if you have any concerns about the project.
Step 3: The Printing Stage
This is self-explanatory, really. This is the point at which the materials you have ordered are being printed by your chosen online printing service. Most companies offer you a specific schedule with regard to how long this stage of the process will take.
Step 4: The Finishing Stage
After your product has been printed, the printer adds the finishing touches. For calendar or catalog printing, finishing may include adding a binding to the product. For business cards, finishing may involve coating the cards with an aqueous, glossy shine. Other finishing services include perforation, hole drilling, shrink wrapping, folding, and scoring.
Step 5: The Delivery Stage
Now that your project is complete, there's one thing left to do: sit back and wait for it to be delivered to your door. Fortunately, online companies offer quick delivery, and many will even give you a guaranteed delivery date at the beginning of the process. Depending on what time you approve the final proof, the production itself can take as little as one day with certain companies. Once your product has been finished, you can choose the shipping method for your needs, depending on the price you are willing to pay for faster delivery. Most online printing companies have expedited shipping with the use of UPS, FedEx, or Postal Service overnight delivery, so consider those options if time is critical for you.
Basic Tips to Ensure Online Printing Success
When it comes to professional quality printing, there is quite a bit to know which follows the old saying, "If it were easy, everyone would do it." Still, there are a few things you can keep in mind that will go a long way to help ensure the best possible result from your online print work. For starters, it is up to you to make absolutely certain that the information you provide to your printer is entirely correct and free of all errors. Printing companies (online or otherwise) are not in the editing business, after all. In the end, any mistakes that come from typos are probably going to be yours.
Tip #1: Check Your Work
Sounds redundant and boring, but you really do need to make absolutely sure your work is correct before you send it off to the printer.
Tip #2: Selecting Typefaces and Fonts
A typeface or font is the specific type of lettering that is used to display your text. Many people aren't aware that they can significantly improve their printing products by altering the typeface. An appropriate typeface can make the difference between products that are clearly readable or illegible, distinctive or easily forgotten, taken seriously or not.
Before making your final font selection, you may want to look at a variety of options, from elegant, sweeping fonts for baby shower invitations, wedding announcements and thank you cards, to a more traditional look for business cards, letterhead, and brochure designs.
Be sure to select a typeface or font that is appropriate for your content to portray yourself or your business in the best light possible.
Tip #3: A Word About Images
One of the most commonly made mistakes in printing occurs when someone attempts to print a photograph or other digital image that is not of sufficient quality to be printed cleanly. Generally speaking, the lowest quality image that is acceptable for digital printing is 150 DPI, while images with more detail, such as photographs, should be at least twice that resolution. Check with your online printing service to find out the resolution requirements for your project.
Primary Printing Methods
There are many printing methods out there, but for the overwhelming majority of business and personal projects, offset and digital are the primary methods used.
Offset Printing
In offset printing, ink is transferred from a plate to a rubber sheet and then to the paper (thus the use of the name offset). This method produces the highest quality printing, and it's what most businesses choose for their orders. It's also affordable: the unit price of an order goes down significantly as you order more.
Digital Printing
Digital printing involves no printing plates or rubber sheets, and the design file is simply sent from the computer to the printing press. And because digital printing involves no set-up costs, printers allow orders with lower volumes: it is a great option for products that you'd purchase in small quantities.
A note on selecting the right paper: One of the most important considerations of any professional print job is the quality of the paper or stock upon which your project will be printed. This is a bit more involved than, say, printing out an e-mail on your home printer. For example, if you are printing wedding or bridal shower invitations that have a lot of color involved, you will need to make certain the card stock is thick and heavy enough to hold up to the inks and not allow for bleed through. Paper thickness is also a measure of quality: presentation folders, for example, should also be printed on thick card stock, because flimsy paper will not leave people with a good impression of your company. And for elegant, luxurious personalized stationery, thick text stock is the way to go.
Even standard paper can have a great deal of variance in quality based on the content of the paper itself. Recycled paper, for instance, is often less durable than paper made from newer fibers. It is best to explain your needs and desires in detail to your printer to find out what are the best options for your situation.
Color – Quality & Accuracy
The quality of color printing can make a big difference in marketing and advertising. This is why it is important to select a printing service wisely. Quality color is a result of great equipment, premium inks and experienced print professionals. An excellent approach to evaluating quality is to request print samples. Online printing services typically send these sample kits at no cost, and it's your opportunity to view their printed products. Look for sharp, crisp colors when assessing these print materials for quality.
Accuracy is the next piece of the puzzle, but it can be tricky. For example, how can you guarantee that the green you design with will be the green that turns out in your final printed product, since computer monitors reproduce color slightly differently than a printing press? The best way to ensure accurate colors is by using proper color management throughout the design and printing process. Color management helps ensure that colors are printed in the way you intended, so that you don't end up with final shades that are noticeably different from the original ones. It's especially important to understand this concept if you plan on designing on your own.
Consulting a hard copy proof is another effective way to control the accuracy of the color in your project. A proof is a preview of what your final design will look like, and by reviewing a hard copy proof, you see how your design and colors will turn out when printed. Then, you can identify any colors you want to modify.
For pictures, good color starts with taking good photos. Use the correct settings on your camera to ensure that you take full advantage of the light (whether artificial or natural) that is present when you take the picture. Clear, crisp photos are especially important for brochure, catalog and poster printing since people evaluate your company's products based on these images. Remember that the less you have to change in Photoshop, the better.
Using Online Copying Services
As easy as it is to use online printing services for more complicated print jobs like business cards and wedding invitations, you also stand to save a substantial amount of money by using online services for your basic black and white and even color copies. Many of the companies that offer these services have the same printing capabilities that your local print shops have. In fact, some online services have even more extensive equipment and expansive service offerings. Here are a few things to be mindful of when using online copy services:
Is Your Print Job Paper Thin?
When you are paying for copies, don't go cheap when it comes to paper, unless you are absolutely certain it will not matter. Cheaper copy paper will often be thinner and more subject to curling than slightly heavier (and a bit more costly) standard weight paper. Depending on the purpose of your printing job, the slightly higher cost may well end up paying for itself.
Before the Ink Dries
Ask your print company about the type and quality of the inks that are being used on your print project.
Will the ink run once it is dry? What about fading? It may also help to ask for samples to get a better feel for the printer's work.
Breaking Down the Costs
Don't be wooed into a false sense of security by a dramatically lower per copy cost until you look at the bottom line estimate. What sort of paper is being used? How much will the shipping and processing fees add up to? The bottom line is the final cost, not the individual numbers. Keep your eyes open and always read through the entire estimate before you commit to anything. A good deal is only a good deal if it saves you time, money, and headaches; otherwise, you are "stepping over a dollar to save a dime," as a wise man once said. Know what you are getting for your money and only pay for what you need.
How to Create Custom Invitations, Business Cards and More
This section of our guide (see "Advice on Creating" on the right-hand side menu) includes creative and helpful advice on how to create, design, and print personal items, such as birthday invitations, graduation announcements, and Christmas cards. Additionally, we offer a bit of advice on business print products. From creating custom stationery to designing advertising flyers, the guide is intended to give you a little extra knowledge on both the products you need and how to select the right professional. Keep in mind that your print company will help you answer any remaining questions you have. Here are a few examples of how we can help:
Greeting Cards
People use cards for a variety of reasons these days, and custom options can help you convey your message in a unique manner. No matter which type of greeting you're creating, you'll always be able to choose between uploading your design to the print company and using their pre-made templates. If you're uploading your own design, you can use specialized design software, hire a professional designer, or use the print company's design department to create the desired look. For a truly personalized card, take a picture of your whole family or just your children, and use this photo as the primary image for your cards.
While considering the design of your card, you'll want to think about the text as well. The wording of your message is important here, but so is the actual look of the text. Choose a font that is readable but also one that accents the message you are sending. You want your "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" to really stand out. After you've carefully designed and printed your greeting cards, you may want to add a colorful ribbon as a final touch.
To learn more, please take a moment to visit the greeting cards section of our site.
Wedding Invitations
A wedding is one of the most important occasions of one's life, and custom invitations can help set the right tone from the start. To come up with a unique remembrance you can call your own, look to incorporate your photos, your words, and your vision. Work closely with the designer to make sure that the invitations have the elements you want, or create the invites at home with the help of your groom or bride-to-be. Another consideration is to include a map that has the location of your wedding pinpointed. If you are having a reception as well, you might also want to include a map of how to get to that location, to make it as easy as possible for your guests to find you. For more information on creating, designing, and printing, visit our page about wedding invitations.
Birth Announcements
There can be no better way to declare the birth of a new family member than to send a well-designed and beautiful birth announcement. Make your baby announcement unique by including a funny anecdote or a poem. Maybe you'll want to include a short story about how the baby's name was chosen. If you keep a diary or notebook during the pregnancy, you could also include some quotes or memorable passages from that time in your life. Handling the birth announcements online, while still having the opportunity to personalize and customize them to your exact specifications, can be extremely helpful to a new mom. To discover more advice, look at the section on birth announcements within our website.
Business Cards
A business card often defines the impression you'll leave on others, therefore choosing the correct design is critical to your business' image. You put quite a bit of effort into building your business relationships, so it's important to pay attention to the details. For example, a vibrant young design company might want to showcase creativity and innovation, and the cards need to reflect that. On the other hand, a stately law firm that has earned a very traditional image over generations may not want to choose cards that convey a loud, modern image. In order to decide on the best image to convey, brainstorm a few of the central concepts that represent your company; this will also get your employees involved in the design process.
Once you have your image carefully planned, you'll want to make certain that you use only high quality card stock to help inspire trust and confidence in your enterprise. For additional information on creating a business card, please visit the business card printing and design section of our site.
Let your creativity – and your budget – lead the way to crafting unique and custom printing products!
A few closing thoughts…
There are many companies online that offer the same flexibility of print options that you would find in a standard brick and mortar print shop, but because they don't have to pay for that physical store or the overhead associated with it, you will save a lot of money. In the end, the decision is yours to make, and with so many online printing services available to you, the choice is one that you should consider carefully before making a decision.
Finally, keep in mind that just because these print services are on the Internet does not mean that the general rules for working with a business are somehow less applicable. If you are in any way uncomfortable about doing business with a company, don't. Any reputable company should be able to meet your needs without hesitation, or you should find another company that will.

(3D) Cert PG, 90mins ****
Who'd have thought a cartoon about a panda skilled in martial arts would become the third highest-grossing film of 2008? Taking a colossal $631million worldwide, it was inevitable there'd be a sequel. But what none of us could have realised is that part two would best the original in every way.
With an all-star voice cast, gorgeous animation and a story that both thrills and tugs the heartstrings, it's as good a 'toon as we're likely to see all year.
This time, portly panda Po - aka the Dragon Warrior - has become the guardian of the Valley Of Peace, aided by the Furious Four (Tigress, Mantis, Viper and Monkey). While naive, clumsy and hardly the martial arts hero prophesised, the black and white bear is a force to be reckoned with, if only he could believe in himself.
His gang is needed more than ever when they learn evil Lord Shen is stealing metal from the countryside to build a devastating weapon.
Jam packed with explosive set pieces, each bigger and louder than the last and building to a thunderous finale, it's a film big on action and excitement meaning there's plenty to keep you entertained. But it's the exploration of Po's backstory that gives the film a whole lot of heart.
With just the right mix of humour and pathos, we learn how the self-effacing bear actually isn't the son of a restaurant-running stork, but was abandoned by his mum as a cub in a heartbreaking flashback.
With the cast including Jack Black as Po, plus Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu and Seth Rogen, KFP2's only real drawback is that there are too many characters to keep track of, with some big talent reduced to the lightest of supporting roles. It's not until the end credits rolled that I learned Gary Oldman, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Danny McBride were actually in the cast, too.
But that's a quibble more likely to concern their agents than audiences. Prepare for awesomeness on a grand scale.
Best Quote: Po: "My fist hungers for justice." BEST BIT: Thrilling and emotionally involving.
Worst Bit: A few too many characters.

Wladimir Tereshkin Inks a Deal With K2 Ukraine
The young Russian heavyweight prospect Wladimir Tereshkin (14-0-1,7) has signed a contract with Klitschko brothers' K2 Promotions Ukraine.
He is 198 cm (6'6'') tall, his weight is about 240 lbs. He feels comfortably in both orthodox and southpaw stances.
"Wladimir Tereshkin is the future World heavyweight champion. Being only 24 he has 14 victories with 7 KOs and one draw in 15 bouts. Our plan is very simple – we tune him up after a long break and proceed with facing the best heavyweights in the world. I anticipate that within the next couple of years Wladimir will get his chance to fight for the world title" – said K2 General Manager Alexander A. Krassyuk.
In 2007 Wladimir signed with Universum Box Promotions. His pro debut happened on the Luan Krasniqi vs Tony Thompson undercard when the 19-year old boxer knocked out his opponent in the first round. He won 7 more bouts within next 10 months. This series of victories was broken in April 2008 when judges scored the draw with the Turkish Adnan Serin.
He won two more bouts with Universum and afterwards being already a free agent he had two more successful fights in Finland and Russia. Then he left for Los Angeles where he trained at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym. On April 4th 2010 in Las Vegas he gained a convincing unanimous decision over the American Joseph Rabotte. In January 2012 he came back to the ring winning the Russian giant Eugeniy Orlov despite the long break and considerable weight difference (Orlov was 6'9", 330 lbs).
In July 2012 Wladimir Tereshkin was invited to Wladimir Klitschko's training camp as the southpaw sparring partner (Klitschko was getting prepared for Tony Thompson). He impressed Klitschko with his skills and again was invited to the camp this fall, then Tereshkin helped Wladimir (as the orthodox) to prepare for Wach.
"Wladimir is a very gifted sportsman he is one of my best sparring partners. He has a very precious talent – he fights both in Orthodox and Southpaw stances. I truly consider him to be one of the biggest Russian heavyweight prospects" – noted Wladimir Klitschko.
"If you want to be the best – work with the best! I kept this idea in mind when taking the decision about my professional career. While working with Klitschko I made sure that talent is 1 percent of inspiration and 99 of perspiration. I was inspired by the Klitschko brothers and now ready to work hard to overcome all the obstacles on my way to the World Championship. I want my homeland (Republic of Mordovia in Russian Federation) to be proud of me!" – said Wladimir Tereshkin.
Tereshkin is big, but he's not that good. I'd like to see K-2 sign a talented HW like Vyacheslav Glazkov or Bogdan Dinu.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (1)

HM the King seen in good health
Published on May 15, 2012 by TFP · No Comments
BANGKOK, 15 May 2012 His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej left his residence on the 16th floor of Siriraj Hospital for the Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall in the Grand Palace on Monday afternoon, appearing healthy.
HM the King traveled with his motorcade to the Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall amidst large crowds chanting "Long Live the King". The people were pleased to see him in good health and able to travel outside of the hospital.
His Majesty the King took pictures of Her Majesty Queen Savang Vadhana, who was a royal consort to King Chulalongkorn, or King Rama V. She was also the grandmother of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, hence the title of the Queen Grandmother.
His Majesty the King has remained at Siriraj Hospital for physical therapy since September 2009 after he was admitted with symptoms of fever, lung inflammation and fatigue.

Knee Pain While Sleeping
Q: I was informed by my doctor that I have a torn meniscus in my right knee. I can tolerate the occasional pain but I notice the my knee tends to hurt more (sometimes waking me) while I sleep. Is there any exercise or strenghting program I can use. I really don't want surgery. I'm 45 years old. Thanks in advance!
A: The menisci are C-shaped wedges of fibro cartilage located between the tibia and femur, and very close related to knee ligaments and attached also to the joint capsule. They are susceptible to get injured with leg rotation movements or rotational forces applied to them, and the lesion produced can be partial or complete tear. A reliable indicator of meniscus lesion is a click or snaps after the joint unlocks, it can be or not associated with pain. A sensation of giving way may occur when the loose fragment becomes lodged for a moment in the knee joint, causing a sense of buckling. Spontaneous healing is common because of the rich blood supply in the menisci periphery. Successful recovery from a meniscal tear is helped by a gradual resolution of symptoms over 6 weeks with a return to normal activity by 3 months. Many meniscal tears heal spontaneously, hopefully this might be your particular case if your lesion is partial and small tear. With time the symptoms tend to improve. If there is no significative improvement you should get a clinical (orthopedic surgeon) and Imaging (MRI) re-evaluation of your knee. The suggested strategy for conservative treatment should be as follows: Physical therapy program (exercises of range of motion and quads strengthening, along with pain control with TENS, ultrasound, ice packs after exercises), you can also use anti-inflammatory medication (i.e.: "Aleve", "Advil"). And avoid rotational movements of the knees.

Brief Summary
Official Title: "Lexi-Echo – a Rapid, Portable, Non-radiating Diagnostic Test for Myocardial Ischemia That is Accurate Relative to Simultaneously Obtained Nuclear SPECT MPI"
This study is for people who have a SPECT scan (nuclear imaging of the blood flow to the heart muscle) ordered by their medical doctors. As part of the SPECT scan, they will have been given a drug called regadenoson to widen and expand the blood vessels bringing blood to the heart muscle. The SPECT pictures of the heart are taken about an hour after the regadenoson is put into an arm vein through an IV. In this study, additional echo pictures will be taken and compared to the SPECT pictures.
The aim of the study is to see if the echo pictures work as well as SPECT to measure the blood flow to the heart muscle.

Pennsylvania Hospital's decision to treat a newborn boy for morphine withdrawal against his mother's wishes has unleashed a brouhaha, including an emergency court order, a social-media storm, and plans for a protest demonstration Friday morning in front of the hospital on Spruce Street.
All sides agree that the mother, Jade Nelson, 22, takes prescription morphine to relieve chronic pain caused by sickle-cell anemia, and that her son was born Dec. 27 with the drug in his system.
But many other facts - the baby's condition, the parents' behavior, and the doctors' management of the case - are in dispute.
Nelson and her relatives contend Dillen did not show symptoms of withdrawal in the first days after his birth.

Lancaster and Iroquois came together out of necessity as they needed each other in order to turn ice dreams into reality.
These days, they feel like they've won the lottery.
Talented Iroquois seniors like Meghan Fonfara and Caitlin Horvatis wouldn't have the chance to play in the Western New York Girls Varsity Hockey Federation, which is now in its fourth season, if not for the merger with Lancaster, one of the Fed's founding programs. Iroquois' girls get to experience the pride that comes with officially representing their school in athletic competition on the ice, while Lancaster no longer has a goose egg under the win column after three winless seasons.
The team does have a zero under the loss column, however, a sign that the partnership has been a huge success.
The program enters tonight's showdown with two-time defending Section VI champion Kenmore (8:15 at Lincoln Ice Arena) as the Federation's final unbeaten team. Lancaster/Iroquois sports a 4-0-1 record, while Kenmore is 6-1-2.
"Everything came together really fast," said sophomore defenseman Brianna Colucci, of Lancaster, who is in her third season on the team. "All of the girls, we all bonded together very well. We pretty much became a family. On the ice, the girls who just started playing a couple years ago, they've picked up the game pretty fast. It's nice that they're able to compete with us."
Said fourth-year coach Dave Santoro: "We were getting better. ... Definitely the merger with Iroquois has been the difference. We were a one-line, line-and-a-half team with just Lancaster. Adding the six girls from Iroquois gives us three lines."
And enough depth to bring a potential worst to first story line to the forefront with the playoffs just three weeks away.
What's made everything work? Some of the players also have had encounters with each other on the youth hockey circuit. The mature attitude of the girls from both schools has been the key.
"We came to help. We didn't come to steal the show," said assistant coach Pete Tonsoline, who also coaches field hockey and teaches at Iroquois. "That was our approach. I think that's why it got off so well. ... We all want to be successful."
The addition of Fonfara, a first team All-Western New York pick in field hockey, has been quite a boost. Fonfara, who also plays for the nationally ranked Buffalo Bisons' 19-under team coached by Scott Welch, leads the team in goals with eight, including a six-goal game in the season opener. She's tall, strong on her feet, has good hands and plays in all situations.
The others from Iroquois who join 12 returnees from last year's Lancaster crew include backup goalie and junior Maria LoTempio, junior defenseman Erin Keppner and freshmen forwards Brianna Keppner and Hayley Fonfara.
Besides Colucci, key returnees include defensemen Megan Reukauf, a junior, and sophomores Kristen Bull and Jenna Hagen. The starting goalie, junior Madeline Norton, is in her third season on the team.
Senior forward Kara Orlowski and junior forward Rene Doherty are the only players remaining from Lancaster's inaugural season.
The top two public school teams in the standings at the end of the regular season meet for the Section VI title on Feb. 5 at the Northtown Center at Amherst, with the winner of that game participating in the second New York State Tournament on Feb. 7-8. The Federation holds its own eight-team playoff tournament, beginning Feb. 10 and ending with the championship game on Valentine's Day.
Can Lancaster/Iroquois make a run at a spot in the sectional final?
It'll be fun watching everything play out, but from a Lancaster/Iroquois perspective one thing is certain.
"We can't wait to be on the ice and play a game," Colucci said. "In past years we were excited but getting blown out for the most part in games wasn't as fun as compared to this year. ... This year we're able to compete and win and celebrate afterwards. ... We're able to go into the games knowing we can compete more."
Kenmore rolling
Kenmore may not be unbeaten but it has compiled the most points (14) in the league. It has done that while missing three key pieces from last year's team due to minor knee injuries: top defenseman and captain Kaeli Mathias and forwards Jill Battista and Lina Mirabella.
Good thing it returned first team All-League goalie Lauren Pray.
"That's what's really been pulling us through," coach Jeff Orlowski said of the junior. "She's kept us in every game. You have a goalie like Lauren, you only need a couple of goals," to win.
Mathias is one of just three seniors on a team that consists mostly of sophomores and juniors, along with her twin Brianna and Battista. Freshman Olivia Smith averages a goal a game and is one of the hardest working players on the team, according to Orlowski.
Grace Simmons, an alternate captain, is part of the team's top defensive pair, along with Kaeli Mathias once she's cleared to play.
Elsewhere, the cupboard appears to be well stocked for Williamsville, last year's Section VI runner-up.
Senior captain and defenseman Rachel Grampp earned Second Team All-Federation honors last year and has caught the attention of Elmira, last year's Division III national champion.
"She plays both ends of the rink very, very well," Williamsville coach Rick Hopkins said. "Solid defender but a real offensive threat. She's a dominant player in the league."
Another key returnee is third-year starting goalie Teresa Meosky along with senior classmate and center Jordan Roetzer. Roetzer has nice hands, according to Hopkins, is strong on draws and in the corners. She has nice on-ice chemistry with junior Sarah Scolnick, who is one of the fastest skaters in the league and has a good shot.
Meosky makes up for "some lapses we may have in our end during the game," Hopkins said.
Century club
In case anyone missed it, West Seneca senior Erin Gehen became the first player in Fed history to record 100 career goals, achieving the feat Dec. 19 in an 8-1 loss to Amherst/Sweet Home.
Gehen, who had seven goals and two assists during a 10-6 win last season, needed just 63 games to hit the 100 milestone. She had four goals and six points through the team's first four games.
Coach Brian Hillery, who slides over from the assistant's role to head coach, believes whatever career goal total she finishes with once this season is over could be the Fed standard for years to come.
"I wouldn't be surprised if I coached for 30 more years if nobody gets close to 100 goals," Hillery said of Gehen, one of five returning First Team All-Federation picks skating for teams in the league this season.
Hillery said Gehen, who also plays soccer, has sent out tapes to a couple of schools in hopes of getting some interest in her talents from colleges.
As impressive as 100 in 63 is, an even more impressive number for West Seneca this season is 18.
That's the number of players on its roster this year after having just 10 a year ago. How did West Seneca lure more players to the team?
The program did a better job spreading the word to all the schools in the West Seneca district and to parents as there were some, according to Hillery, who didn't even know the district offered girls hockey even though West Seneca is one of the founding members of the league.
"We advertised the team a little bit more and it worked out," he said. "Hopefully every year we can keep building and building and not just in West Seneca but all girls in the city of Buffalo."
Besides Gehen, key returnees include third-year defenseman Brianna Carlin and fourth-year forward Molly Sikorski, Gehen's linemate and best friend, Hillery said. Defenseman Bridget Bork returns after missing last year with a knee injury.
Tough competition
Monsignor Martin lost just four players from last year's 20-0 team (three to full-season travel teams and one to Nichols).
But in a sign of just how competitive this league has become, the two-time defending Federation playoff champion has already lost twice (to Lancaster/Iroquois and Williamsville) and tied twice (Kenmore and Frontier/Orchard Park). Still, MMA has a winning pedigree on its resume and key returnees including Nardin senior forward Rachel Lenard, a first team All-Federation pick last year, and 5-foot-7 sophomore defenseman Maeve Christ of Mount Mercy. Christ has lots of offensive skill, according to coach Linda Mroz.
She's not the only blue-liner with size for the Catholic team as 5-10 Sacred Heart junior Amelia Gajewski is a good skaters with a big shot.
Amherst/Sweet Home, under the guidance of first-year coach Nicola Adimey, appears to be coming together quite well after finishing as a semifinalist in last season's Fed playoffs. The Katz have two returning First Team All-Federation selections in forward Missy Mallon and defenseman Maddy Grisko and are off to a 4-2 start. They've had three games rescheduled due to the weather, which Adimey said allowed the team to get in more practice time so that it could feel better prepared heading into games.
Just how serious was catcher Maddie Aston's quest to become a reliable goalie? After volunteering to play the position last season out of necessity for the Katz (they didn't have a goalie), the starter continued to hone her skills by practicing during the offseason with an area women's team and attended various goalie camps. Adimey said Aston's athleticism has been key to her being such a quick study at the position.
Frontier/Orchard Park started 1-4-1 but each game has been close, including a pair of one-goal losses to Lancaster/Iroquois, a 3-1 loss to Kenmore in which it yielded an empty-net goal. Coach Jim McCarthy's squad features four seventh-graders, four eighth-graders, 11 juniors and just one senior. Key returnees include defensemen Olivia Jacobs and Tatum Walber, who are both very good. Goalie Mikaela DiTondo plays every game while top forwards include the Urbank sisters – Jessica, Megan and Rachel.
Nichols report
Iroquois, via joining forces with Lancaster, isn't the only newcomer to the Federation. Nichols' Prep B team, which in past seasons played in a lower tier of the Canadian-based Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association, said yes when asked to join the circuit.
It is the only member of the league that doesn't draw players from multiple schools.
The Vikings got off to a hot start with wins over Kenmore and Amherst/Sweet Home, but have had trouble recovering from the loss of goalie Margaret Janiga – who missed five games with mono before returning late last week. Nichols didn't have another goalie on its roster so coach Tom Iafallo "just put in a couple different girls who wanted to try it and had fun with it."
Iafallo said it's been great competing in the Fed and not just because of the shorter bus rides (30 minutes to East Aurora is the longest roadie).
"It's competitive," he said "It's great for the girls, less travel and it's unique because they've played with girls on the other teams during their travel" careers.
Besides Janiga, key players on the team include her twin sister Marissa, a forward; senior defenseman Emily Certo and senior forwards Jen Sauter and Katherine Darling.
Meanwhile, Nichols' top prep team, which is the two-time defending CISAA and North American Prep Hockey Association champions, is ranked fourth nationally among U.S. Prep Schools. The Vikings (13-2-3) have six seniors, including five who have already signed Division I letters of intent in Allison Gasuik (Ohio State), Julianna Iafallo (Ohio State), Brandy Streeter (Union), Madison Sansone (Providence) and Annika Zalewski (Colgate). Senior Lizzy Viola will play for current Division III national No. 1 Plattsburgh. For those keeping score at home, that means Nichols' entire senior class will have the opportunity to play college hockey.
Gasuik has been sidelined with a lower body injury since October but should return in February, according to coach Scott Welch.
The absence hasn't slowed down Nichols, which recently won the prestigious Deerfield College Invitational and returns to action this weekend in Lake Placid at the Northwood Invitational.
Three underclassmen also have caught the eyes of Division I suitors, including juniors Olivia Zafuto (Colgate) and Madison Welch (Syracuse) and her younger sister, sophomore Abigail Welch (Penn State).
Coach Welch, who is in his fourth season with the Vikings, is three wins away from No. 100.

At Boise, first baseman Russ Canzler made the cut despite not being named an all-star at his position. The 20-year-old is batting .272 with a Hawks franchise record 16 home runs and was selected to the all-star team as a designated hitter. He's hit 21 doubles and driven in 58 RBIs. Canzler leads the Northwest League in homers, doubles and RBIs.
"The ball has always come off his bat pretty good," Hawks manager Steve McFarland told Inside The Ivy of Canzler last month. "For his first time out of Mesa, he's having a pretty good year. His power numbers are up. He's starting to show the power that everybody thought he was going to have, plus the ability to drive in runs."
Canzler was a 30th-round draft pick from Hazleton Area High School in Pennsylvania in 2004.
Joining Canzler is left-hander Jeremy Papelbon, the Cubs' 19th-round draft pick from North Florida this past June. The brother of Red Sox reliever Jonathan Papelbon and twin brother Josh, 23-year-old Jeremy is 4-0 with three saves and a 1.49 ERA in 17 appearances. He has held opposing batters to a .168 average against in 42-plus innings.
"He's been very competitive," McFarland said of Papelbon. "Pitching out of the bullpen, he throws a lot of strikes, goes right after the hitters and shows a lot of poise. He pitches with a lot of confidence."
The Hawks swept last place Spokane on Thursday night for their fifth consecutive win atop the Northwest League's Eastern Division standings. With second place Tri-City dropping their third straight, the Hawks' magic number to clinch the division is down to one game as they now hold a six-game lead with only six remaining contests – all against Tri-City.
In Mesa, infielder/catcher Blake Parker and pitcher Taylor Parker were named all-stars for the Arizona Rookie League.
The former Parker was drafted from Arkansas in the 16th round this past June and hit .262 in 39 games for Mesa. He totaled two home runs, 13 doubles and one triple while driving in 18 runs, and was promoted to Class-A Peoria last week.
The latter Parker was drafted in the 21st round from Missouri and appeared in 14 games with the Mesa squad, making eight starts and going 2-2 with a 2.35 ERA overall. He whiffed 39 and walked 19 in 53 2/3 innings and posted the league's fourth best ERA for a minimum 50 innings total.
Mesa's season ended on Wednesday with the team finishing 21-34 overall.
Yakima's Cyle Hankerd and Peoria Padres outfielder Cedric Hunter were named MVPs of the Northwest and Arizona Rookie League's, respectively.

OTTAWA - The calendar has flipped to April.
The marathon, 82-game slate has been whittled down to just three contests.
And the ballots for the various NHL trophies, to be presented at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas on June 21, have been distributed to members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.
There was much written last week, around the NHL, with writers making cases for players for the Hart or Vezina trophies, awarded to the league's most valuable player and top goaltender, respectively.
For my money, the most interesting trophy that still needs deciding is the only major award that no Flyer has ever won: the Calder Trophy, the hardware handed out to the rookie of the year.

I have found out from some YouTubers I follow that a huge reason why videos are getting flagged currently is due to the "Content ID" bot going wild and flagging things that shouldn't be. According to YouTubers like Boogie2988, The people at YouTube have actually admitted that the bot is going wild, and they are working to fix it, but there is no ETA on when that will be completed.

Posted on 11/06/2003 12:33:04 PM PST by Mossad1967
An urgent news from the jihad rule in Yemen, the Al-Asad messages coded...
XXX and a XXX declared that they received messages from Al Qaeda Network in Yemen that points to the messages of the fighting Sheikh Osama bin Ladin who transmitted last week were coded messages with directions for the execution of three greatest operations during the holy month of Ramadan ...
Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest (( I swear by the great Allah who raised the sky without an intention that America and the west world will not dream of its capture with the security what did not enjoy it a falling in Palestine and the Islamic world ) )
My father and my mother redeemed you O our sheikh the hero
Three greatest operations
Brothers and sisters I greet you, as you have noticed the splitting of the moon in two marks the start of the biggest operation of all, it is expected that America will be fragmented into 3 parts, I swear to Allah on this, I swear to Allah that the US will be divided...
Thanks! That's one thing less to worry about!
Oh no!! Colored lines and symbols! *faint*
Maybe the half moon?
Don't know, but it sure has turned my hair 'green'

First line of the bookindelibly associated with the study of Latin at school.
I suspect this claptrap was written by a high-school trained latin scholar. Irish Catholic: "the fighting Sheikh" from "the Fighting Irish". Geesh.
They certainly share the same vision for the USA.
Anyone know this show?
It's getting a little scary.
This one?
Careful, tho. When the army wishes to neutralize ammunition, they soak it in oil. If any bacon grease gets into the interior of the cartridge, you may get a dud.
Why does everybody assume the division will be physical rather than spiritual or ethnic
A series of assassinations of certain black and Hispanic leaders, coupled with some bombing operations by Black Muslims in malls crowded with Christmas shoppers would do quite a bit toward "dividing" the US into three parts (white, black, and brown)
Are they planning to blow up the moon?
Good question. Wonder what color code it will be....if there is any change. Like we all know what color is for what :):) I don't know about any one else but I have no idea what the heck color means what !
Probably. Lookss like simultaneous attacks in these three cities around 9-17. Wasn't there a report of an islamist WEB site advocating Muslims leave these cities soon? Could have been BS. Anyway, BOLO the sinister ones. IMO, shooting on site will soon be legal.
Lots of possibilities. If you read my prior posts on this thread and others, you'll see that I have a genuine concern that something big is about to happen on the scales (although not the same modus) as 09.11, as opposed to the Cole, OKC, and the hotel in Indonesia. I suspect Homeland Security is working overtime and maybe they'll stop the big one before it happens, although we may never know about it.
If we're going to speculate, I think Tuesday 11.11 is a day to be worried about. AQ likes Tuesdays. It is the first Tuesday after the lunar eclipse. The Northeast Security website has an article about how AQ does things in "fours" and "11.11" presents four numerals that add up to four. Also, the decimal in the number sequence splits the sequence into two equal, identical parts -- like spliting the moon.
and Fox won't give them coverage. I predict between 9-5 on a M-F

Posted on 10/21/2007 12:18:49 PM PDT by Alouette
(IsraelNN.com) The unauthorized dig of a trench this past summer by the Moslem Waqf on the Temple Mount, in the course of which it was assumed that precious findings were destroyed, apparently had a thin silver lining. Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) personnel monitoring the trench-digging have, for the first time, found traces of the First Temple.
The IAA studied an archaeological level dating to the First Temple Period, exposed in the area close to the south-eastern corner of the raised platform surrounding the Dome of the Rock.
Archaeological examination of a small section of this level, led by Jerusalem District Archaeologist Yuval Baruch, uncovered fragments of ceramic table wares, animal bones, and more. The finds date from the 8th to 6th centuries BCE; the First Temple existed between the 9th and 5th centuries BCE, having been built by King Solomon in 832 and destroyed in 422.
The archaeological team - Baruch of the IAA, Prof. Sy Gitin, Director of the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, Prof. Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University and Prof. Ronny Reich of Haifa University - reached the conclusion, after examining the finds and archaeological data, that their characteristics and location may aid scholars in reconstructing the dimensions and boundaries of the Temple Mount during the First Temple Period.
The finds include fragments of bowl rims, bases and body sherds, the base of a juglet used for the ladling of oil, the handle of a small juglet, and the rim of a storage jar. The bowl sherds were decorated with wheel burnishing lines characteristic of the First Temple Period.
The IAA announced that it will hold an archaeological seminar concerning these finds and their archaeological interpretation at a later date.
Muslim and Jewish Claims Muslim scholars often deny any Jewish claim to the Temple Mount, and it is often charged that Arab excavations there are employed for the purpose of throwing out truckloads of artifacts that would prove otherwise. Moslem claims to the Temple Mount, on the other hand, have been debunked even by other Moslems. A commentator for the official Egyptian government weekly, of all places, has written that the entire Moslem claim on Jerusalem and the El-Aksa mosque is based on a mistaken reading of one chapter of the Quran. Ahmed Mahmad Oufa wrote that the verse that mentions a night journey by Muhammed to a mosque has nothing to do with Jerusalem, as is generally claimed, but with a mosque near the holy Moslem city of Medina.
Prof. Moshe Sharon, Middle Eastern expert in the Hebrew University, expressed great surprise at the fact that such an article would be published in Arabic and in an Arabic-speaking country. He told Arutz-7 at the time, "All in all, this is not a new claim. We must remember that Jerusalem is not mentioned at all in the Quran [though it is mentioned hundreds of time in the Bible - ed. note]. The verse in question is in Sura [chapter] 17, which states that Muhammad was brought at night from one mosque to a 'more distant' - aktsa, in Arabic - mosque. The first Moslem commentators did not explain this as referring to Jerusalem at all, of course, but rather as a miraculous night journey or night vision or some such. In the beginning of the 8th century, however, they began associating this with Jerusalem, because they had a need to start giving sanctity to Jerusalem, and so they started connecting this verse with Jerusalem... Originally, however, the Moslems recognized the area of the Dome of the Rock as holy because of the Jewish Temple of King Solomon."
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
But don't let facts get in the way of starting a holy war.
Interesting, but how can one discern boundaries of a temple from pottery shards? That could only be possible if the excavation was more extensive than what supposedly occurred: a dig to repair 40 year old electric cabling. That's my read, at least. The Moslem excavation sought to destroy evidence of the First and Second Temples. The electric cable was just cover. Yeah, I am paranoid.
What other facts do you need, O Infidel?
* The Winged Horse given to The Prophet by the Angel Gabriel. This speedy animal helped Muhammed make it over from Medina in one night, in case you're looking for an explanation. I sees your "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and I raises you one.
You're one smart cookie, zerodown! ;-)[And I mean that respectfully, too]
Where does the year 422 come from? Both 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles say that the house of the Lord was burned when Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem (587/6 BC). Nehemiah's activities were in the reign of Artaxerxes I who died in 423.
If the eschatological projections of the Bible are at all valid then there is no amount of trucks hauling debris away from the site that will make a difference to the Truth.
Time will tell.
Olmert is busy trying to undermine the Israeli national security all in the name of PEACE. Whether it is Gaza, the Golan Heights or the Temple Mount, this guy Olmert should be dealt with by the Mossad!
The trench is not the only excavation. There is also a long tunnel that runs along three of the huge foundation blocks of the temple. Numerous artifacts have come from that tunnel. There are also several shorter tunnels that lead into what was the interior of the temple. The govt has blocked access to the tunnels.
I noticed that, too. Not sure where they got the 832 from, either.

I thought Dawud and Suleiman were Moslem prophets as well, so it seems to me they would be undermining their own religion by denying the existence of the First Temple.
Yes it would be something indeed—but the find would never see the light of day unless something occurred like the scene of the opening of the Ark of the Covenant from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I didn't notice the 832. That's about 100 years too late (Solomon's death is put about 931...but the building of the temple would have been some years earlier).
Kabbalistic non-standard chronology based on dividing history into three 2000 year blocks rather than the Deuterononical one of Kings and Chronicles (and archeology). And they have the Messianic age beginning in 240 A.D., no matter what Venerable Bede said.
Traditional Jewish chronology and standard secular chronology are actually at odds here. For example, conventional secular chronology places the destruction of the First Temple in 586BCE, while traditional Jewish chronology places it in 422BCE.
Yes. According to 1 Kings (6:1, 6:38, 11:42), Solomon reigned 40 years and built the temple between the 4th and 11th years of his reign. There is some uncertainty about the exact date of Solomon's reign, but by any estimate the article's date is over a century off.
See #21
Thanks. I was wondering if they were using some non-standard calendar. Seems kind of odd they would mix that in with conventional dates, though—the rest of the article seems to refer to centuries the usual way.
This Darius died in 404--Xenophon's Anabasis begins with his name (as he sets the background to Cyrus the Younger's attempt to seize the throne from his older brother Artaxerxes II).
Why, you know, that's a great point! I guess denial is convenient when trying to aquire another's land.
BAR link on the subject:
Perhaps you have information as to what instructions Muhammed gave to Allah during that meeting?
I believe he said, "Bugger off, Satan; I came to see...OH, it IS you? Oh, what a joke this will be when the Infidel finally twig to it! Well, just so the goodies keep coming my way...".
Excellent article !
As you wish.
Something tells me you don't take the first eleven chapters of Genesis as history.
According to islam, Mohammed (Pox Be Upon Him) was the final prophet, and any after him were to be considered false. I look forward to being corrected on this, but I believe it's the doctrine.
Again, for perhaps the thousandth time, I ask: when will Israel remove the Waqf from the Temple Mount and take control of the most holy place in Judiasm?
Glad you asked, O infidel dog, who will service my computer for all eternity in Paradise!
It seems that Muhammed (PBUH) realized that some segments of his eternal teachings which were perplexing the faithful had been inspired ... not by Allah the All-Wise ... but by ... you guessed it ... SATAN!
So, undoubtedly Allah the Merciful was telling Muhammed which were the Satanic Verses, and which verses were the straight dope on the Islam situation: a lesson apparently lost on the writer Salman Rushdie, making him most deserving of the fartwa placed upon him.
In re al-Burak, the winged steed who was patiently waiting in the celestial parking lot whilst all this transpired: apparently Muhammed liked him a lot, stroking his neck and leaving on it, and every horse thereafter, that little indentation called "The Thumbprint of the Prophet." If this is not a legitimate claim to that Jerusalem real estate you infidels continually blather on about, what the heck (as Muhammed PBUH hisself was wont to say) is?
Yes, and Muhammed, by another "miracle", tied his horse up to the Western Wall, the Kotel. So.....Abbas is now saying they want the Western Wall too....
Your likelihood of being in paradise, having a computer in Paradise, of having me as your computer tech in Paradise, or of being alloted a half-gross of virgins are all statistically equal.
When the Arabs invented Zero, it was exclusively for the purpose of expressing this probability.
"Hey! What'cha studying?"
(A) We have wrung every last cent of dhimmi tax from your infidel hides and
(B)Until we have heard ALL of your amusing stories.
All fartwas on hold.
God Save the Jews !!! Leave Jerusalem to Israel. The only nation whose borders are defined by God.
Sadly, but likely, not until Jesus returns, which hopefully is soon.
"Fortunately for you two infidels, a moderate imam of my acquaintaince who is instructing me in the True Faith has instructed me not to slaughter you both until:"
... and I realized you were pulling my leg.
"... a moderate imam ..." Riiiiiiight.
No need to be so formal. Here in Western Maryland we just say "Boo."
What Boo was trying to communicate was that although ole Mo mighta been short on book-learning, the SOB could really ride.
While your Q'uran (pls nb pc spelling) is high on horses, goats, camels, and sheep, ole Mo and his followers don't like dogs. This has proven an obstacle to my conversion.
"Boo" Radley is my hero!
I want to be just like him.
... to kill the people who need it, and then be left alone.

A Summerville woman accused of killing a 3-year-old girl entrusted to her care told police she had whipped the child multiple times with a belt after she had urinated on the floor, according to court records.
Erica Mae Butts, 23, of Congaree River Drive, is charged with homicide by child abuse in the death of Serenity Richardson. Butts was being held in the Charleston County jail without bail after a bond hearing Thursday before county Magistrate Linda Lombard.
Serenity's lifeless body was found at Butts' residence about 7 p.m. Tuesday after Butts' mother dialed 911 and said the child was not breathing, according to court records. Summerville firefighters were the first to arrive and found the child in full cardiac arrest.
An unidentified woman inside the house told a paramedic the girl was sitting in a chair, fell backward and struck her head, the police report says.
Charleston County EMS took Serenity to Summerville Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 8:05 p.m.
Doctors and nurses at the hospital saw cuts and bruises on Serenity's chest, abdomen, legs, arms, feet and back. The police report said there was a golf-ball sized bruise on her head and a large burn mark on her right leg. An autopsy by a Medical University of South Carolina forensic pathologist determined that the cause of death was "full body blunt force trauma," the warrant says.
In addition to telling police she had whipped the child, Butts also told them Serenity had fallen and hit her head several times and that 30 minutes after her last fall, Serenity's breathing became shallow, court records said. At that point, instead of dialing 911, Butts called her mother, who lives in Goose Creek, for help.
Butts and Serenity's mother, Ieshia Richardson, were best friends, according to Richardson. Butts' lawyer, Christopher Lizzi, said Butts was Serenity's godmother. According to reports from WDIV-TV in Detroit, Richardson had left Serenity with Butts for several weeks while she was in the process of moving in Detroit.
The bond hearing was the first opportunity for Ieshia Richardson to deal publicly with her child's death. She was at her home in Detroit when she spoke to The Post and Courier on Wednesday and said she had hoped to be able to attend the hearing.
The bond hearing was held via a closed-circuit television system. Butts was in the county jail across the street. Her image appeared on a monitor in the courtroom.
Richardson had a number of relatives and friends standing at her side as the hearing began. Friends had their arms around her for support.
Appearing on Butts' behalf, in addition to Lizzi, her attorney, were Butts' mother and sister.
When Lombard read the charge to Butts, Richardson's knees buckled and she burst into tears when she heard the word "homicide."
Lombard explained to all present that she would not be able to set a bond, that only a circuit court judge could set bond on the charge. Then she asked if any of them had anything to say.
Lizzi said Butts and her family were very upset. "This is a very tragic event," he said. He went on to tell Lombard that Butts has a clean record and has never been in trouble.
Lombard then looked toward the victim's side of the courtroom. "The entire family is devastated," said Pam Stone, a victim's advocate with the Summerville Police Department. "This was her only child." Overwrought with grief, Richardson wailed loudly.
Butts, who could hear what was going on in the courtroom, also began crying. "I'm sorry, Ieshia. I'm so sorry," she said.
To help
The family of Serenity Richardson has set up a bank account to help with funeral expenses. Donations to the Serenity Richardson Memorial Fund can be made at any Bank of America branch.
