New details have emerged regarding the man's actions that created the airliner diversion: the 56-year-old man will face felony charges because of his annoyance and comments about 'Gilligan's Island'. From the story:
The passenger, Joseph H. Johnson, wrote comments on a card about being stranded on an island like Gilligan's Island with his least-favorite female character.
OregonLive.com users sound off on this development. Here are a few that stand out:
noregister: "This guy posed no threat to anyone except spellcheckers. Who cares what he wrote on a comment card? Who could seriously write that and think that he was planning something devious? Whoever made the decision to turn that plane around should be fired."
kogotch8: "I fly so often and get so annoyed with people who argue with the flight attendants. Also people who carry on their entire life and get upset if there is no overhead space. For sure make this guy pay for the escort back to PDX."
And my favorite in the comment string:
davej2007: "You can disagree with the man's actions, but you CANNOT disagree with his opinion that MaryAnne is superior to Ginger."
Well stated.

READINGTON — One of two alleged homeless men, apparently walking from New York City to Harrisburg, Pa., and found sleeping underneath a hedgerow in the median of Route 22, was arrested on a warrant charge out of Trenton.
Police gave the following account:
On July 11, at about 6:30 a.m., Lt. Scott Crater noticed two men sleeping in the median.
The police officer woke the men and they told the officer that they were homeless and were walking to the Pennsylvania capital, and that at some time in the early morning, they had become tired and crawled under the hedgerow to sleep.
The officer discovered that one of the men, Delonce Ellsberry, 23, had an arrest warrant out of Trenton. Ellsberry was taken into custody but released a short time later by Trenton's municipal court.
The two men were driven to a nearby service station to get water and were then allowed to continue on their way.

ALLEN PARK -- Join MLive.com at approximately 2:30 p.m. for live updates from Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz's Monday press conference following his team's 38-10 loss Sunday in Arizona.
It was undoubtedly the low point in what has been a brutal season. The Cardinals, 58-0 losers in Seattle the week before, snapped a nine-game losing streak while handing the Lions their sixth consecutive loss. It dropped Detroit to 4-10, assuring the third season of double-digit losses in Schwartz's four years with the the club.
Arizona had two interception returns for touchdowns and scored off four Lions' turnovers. It was one of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's worst games.
The Lions host the Atlanta Falcons Saturday night on ESPN and Channel 7 (8:30 p.m.). The Falcons, at 12-2, are tied with the Houston Texans for the best record in the NFL. Atlanta is coming off a 34-0 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants and can clinch the top playoff seed in the NFC with a victory.
Please remember, all statements from Schwartz in this post will be paraphrased.
2:47: Press conference is over. Come back to MLive.com later for more coverage.
2:47: Pettigrew, Fairley not on IR. Still on hold. Chance they could be back.
2:47: Lacey having tests. Could be significant. Not ligaments, but could be out for season.
2:46: Stafford fine after concussion tests yesterday on sideline.
2:45: On 6-game skid, "We're not happy about it. It's been a long time since we won. We're going to work hard to correct it.''
2:44: Not thinking of next year at all, all focus on winning Saturday.
2:43: "Ultimate responsibility of a team is the head coach. I need to do a better job.''
2:42: Said he hears from ownership every day. Won't say who or discuss nature of conversations or any specifics.
2:42: He never considered benching Stafford.
2:41: Said Stafford blaming himself not surprising because good QBs always put it on their shoulders.
2:39: "Not a matter of effort, our players' effort has been good.''
2:37: Don't want to say team has taken step back this year, said it's "sidetracked, and gone off the rails a bit.''
2:35 Says defense not culpable. Offense put them in too many bad spots on the field, inside 5-yard-line couple times.
2:34: Says they lacked playmakers in general, other than Johnson.
2:33: Says Cardinals double-teamed Calvin on almost every play. Says a lot of about him and off. coordinator Scott Linehan that he still gained 120 yards receiving.
2:31: Schwartz says they had a lot of games come down to one play, this obviously wasn't one of them.

Next game: West Michigan (Aaron Fuhrman 0-0, 1.35) at Dayton (Daniel Guerrero 1-5, 8.12) 2 p.m. today.
Radio: WBBL-AM (1340)
DAYTON, Ohio -- The West Michigan Whitecaps clinched a winning record in the second half of the season with a 5-4, 10-inning win over Dayton on Sunday.
The win was the Whitecaps' sixth in their last seven games and ups their record to 35-33 with only Monday's regular-season finale against the Dragons remaining.
West Michigan now is 12-6 since Aug. 13 and has lost only one series since dropping three of four to first-round playoff opponent South Bend from Aug. 9-12.
The Whitecaps made it three straight wins over Dayton on a sacrifice fly by Jordan Newton, who was in the middle of all four innings in which the team scored runs, snapped a 4-4 tie in the 10th inning. It followed a walk to Chris Carlson, a stolen base by pinch runner Chris White, and a bounce out by Alex Avila.
Wilton Garcia (9-4) picked up the win with three scoreless innings in relief. Noah Krol converted his 12th straight save and 15th of the season.
The Whitecaps took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on an RBI single by Roger Tomas.
They added two more in the fourth inning to go up 3-1. Newton's single preceded a two-run homer by Kody Kaiser.
After Dayton cut the lead to 3-2 in the fourth, Newton hit his seventh homer of the season for a 4-2 lead in the sixth inning. It was the second straight game in which Newton, who hit .286 in last year's playoffs, hit a homer.
Dayton tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the sixth.

febootstrap-to-initramfs [--files=filelist] DIR > initrd.img
An initramfs image is just a compressed cpio file, so you could uncompress it with gunzip(1) and use cpio(1) to convert it into other formats.
The permissions inside the initrd image are corrected automatically (see the discussion of fakeroot logfile in the febootstrap(8) page). You do not need to run this command as root.
When the "--files" option is not given, all files in "DIR" are added to the initramfs image.
Linux can boot from uncompressed initramfs images (in fact, faster), but they take up a lot more space on disk.
Linux will try to run the following commands in turn, unless you override it using the "init=cmd" kernel option:

It's not exactly surprising that President Obama should catch some flak for sending Afghan president Hamid Karzai a letter apologizing for American troops' incineration of some copies of the Koran. Newt Gingrich, of course: "We are supposed to apologize to those who are killing us? I don't think so." Rick Santorum: "There was no act that needed an apology. It was an inadvertent act and it should be left at that." Not to mention Mitt Romney: "for us to be apologizing at a time like this is something which is very difficult for the American people to countenance." After all, the Obama-must-stop-apologizing-for-America meme has been GOP boilerplate for some time now.
On the other hand, you'd think the three amigos would be a little sympathetic to the likes of Abdul Sattar Khawasi, an Afghan member of Parliament who called on religious leaders "to urge the people from the pulpit to wage jihad against Americans" because "Americans are invaders, and jihad against Americans is an obligation."That's pretty close to the other GOP meme about how the Obama Administration is waging war on religion. Nor do the Republican lack for their own religious leaders to mount the barricades.
Like Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia: "Despite all of its public apprehension about "culture warriors" on the political right in the past, the current administration has created an HHS mandate that is the embodiment of culture war." Once upon a time, the Archbishop of Philadelphia spoke and 40 percent of his parishioners went to culture war by boycotting the movies. But that was a long time ago. The latest word from Philly is that Chaput's late predecessor, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, ordered the shredding of a memo that named 35 priests of the archdiocese as suspected of sexually molesting children. So far, no archdiocesan apology has been forthcoming. How's that jihad working out, Excellency?

Former Metro Council President David Bragdon was never shy about voicing his frustration with Oregon's endless planning gridlock.
As chief of the Portland area's regional planning agency, Bragdon chafed at what he called the "paralysis by analysis" of Oregon's public process.
He went from here to a gig in New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration (he was director of long-term planning, naturally) and recently gave an interview to Portland environmental magazine Bear Deluxe—where he offers more tough love to Oregon planners.
It's a timely interview, with legislation in the works in Salem to insert lawmakers into Metro's management of how and where the Portland region can grow.
Bragdon says New York City's planning system is aimed toward making big, physical changes to improve the city, while Oregon's (and, by extension, Portland's) starts with keeping things as they are. Both approaches, he argues, end up stifling innovative ideas.
The interview is wonky, but well worth a read. Bragdon's most cutting point is that Oregon is good at making long-term plans, but terrible at keeping track of whether anything is getting done.
So in terms of how to balance the immediate and long term, I discovered the most effective feature in Bloombergâs PlaNYC is that it contains what they call âgoalsâ for the year 2030, which are aspirational, but it also includes âinitiatives,â which are specific actions that they will take in the short term to get on the right pathânow! The plan also includes âmilestones,â by which the current administration is judged each year as they mark progress toward the applicable goal. So New York City not only declared where it hoped to be in 20 years, the aspirational part which Oregon does very well, but New York City is also honest if it is on the way there this year (the type of accountability which Oregon usually ducks), whether itâs land-use or educational-attainment goals or all that benchmarking stuff they used to do in Salem but then quit doing when the Legislature didnât want to hear the truth.
Read the whole interview at Bear Deluxe.

Syracuse, NY.------About 300 people turned out at Syracuse Stage Thursday evening for the Dennis Dowdell Scholarship reception which raises money to send black males to college.
The event, held every year in conjunction with Black History Month, is sponsored by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Chi Chapter. The fraternity mentors young black males at Corcoran and Nottingham high schools; collects Christmas presents for needy children; distributes Thanksgiving baskets; and helps prepare meals at the Rescue Mission.
Thursday's event raised $4,000 for the scholarship fund, said Raysean Khalif, the group's president. The fund is named for Dowdell, who in 1964 became the first executive director of Urban League of Syracuse/Onondaga County. Dowdell headed the league, now defunct, for more than and decade. He died in 1991.
Every year, the fraternity awards a $2,000 scholarship to an African-American male who graduates from high school and is accepted into college. The student receives the money during their four-year college career.
There are two students receiving money from the fund--Christopher Davis, a graduate of Corcoran High School, now studying at Delaware State University; and Brian Jones, a graduate of Fowler High School, studying at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
The group targets black males because they're most at risk of dropping out of high school or getting into college, Raysean said.
"We're really trying to support their academic endeavors through our scholarship and mentoring program'' he said.
The group is accepting applications for this year's scholarship. For more information, call Raysean, 383-1851 or check out the fraternity's website:
Wegmans catered the affair and the BrownSkin band entertained the crowd.
Wegmans received the group's Organization of the year award and Derrick Carr, political director of Service Employees International Union Local 1199, received the Omega Man of the Year Award.
Thursday's event drew some of the movers and shakers in Syracuse's black community.
I ran into some old faces. Remember William and Merriette Pollard? Bill is the former dean of the school of Syracuse University's school of social work and Merriette is the former director of the Dunbar Center.
The Pollards left the area in 2002 when Bill was hired as president of the University of the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C. They hope to move back to Syracuse, where they still have a home.
The crowd also included City Court Judge Langston McKinney; WSTM (Channel 3) news anchor Jackie Robinson, was there with her husband, attorney Henry Melchoir; Councilor-at-large Van Robinson and his wife, Linda Brown Robinson; Julius Edwards, director of the Syracuse/Onondaga County Human Rights Commission; WCNY-TV(Channel 24) talk show host George Kilpatrick; Alton Hicks, vice president at Corcoran High School; and Dwight Hicks, a broker associate at RE/MAX Masters.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (21Alive) - A massive pileup along Interstate 94 on Wednesday left a traffic nightmare for hours.
Around 3:30 p.m. EST, 15 semi-trucks and multiple other vehicles wrecked some 60 miles from Chicago.
At least three people died and dozens more were injured in the crash.
More are feared dead as many cars are stuck in the wreckage.
Thousands more waited in frigid temperatures for hours.
Around 9:30 p.m., westbound lanes of I-94 opened to help alleviate traffic.
It is unclear how long it could be for eastbound traffic to be rerouted and for the crash to be cleaned up.
21Alive's Melissa Long spoke with stuck motorist Andrew Reyntjes of Detroit on Wednesday night. He, his wife and twin 13-month-old daughters waited 3 hours on I-94 as they approached the pileup. Click on the video icon to hear Reyntjes say what he saw.

To continue in suit with many districts in New Jersey, Phillipsburg has implemented its new state-mandated teacher evaluation model.
The school board approved Monday night the EE4NJ model from Danielson/Teachscape for $42,560 to fulfill the state's revisions to teacher evaluation and tenure reform.
Phillipsburg Superintendent George Chando said student performance will be one of the components for the evaluations.
"Teachers will be going through a pre-conference, an observation and a post-conference as part of the process," Chando said. "There will also be walkthroughs that will be done by the administrators, which are not formal observations."
Chando said the evaluation will be discussed collaboratively with the teachers and administration.
The grading rubric ranges from unsatisfactory to distinguished.
Phillipsburg Assistant Superintendent Marian Trapani said an unsatisfactory mark will not immediately lead to termination.
"It's a process," Trapani said. "It would include several steps and there would be an opportunity for professional growth based on an improvement plan."
Debra Smith, president of the Phillipsburg Education Association, said she was happy with the evaluation choice and was involved throughout the process.
"Mr. Chando from the beginning put together a committee of teachers and involved the association," Smith said, adding she was allowed to visit different models and partake in discussions and presentations from companies. "From that end, the teachers have had a real input in where we're headed with this."
The district will pilot the program at the middle school this school year and implement the model for the whole district in 2013-14.
Three days of training will be required for administrators and a day and a half for teachers.
Chando anticipates the model to be in place at the middle school at the beginning of 2013.
The rest of the teachers in the other district schools will be trained by July, Chando said.
The superintendent said since last February the district was studying the various models and visiting different schools implementing them.
"Honestly, the performance growth piece in the evaluation model we selected doesn't differ that much from the model we're currently using," Chando said, noting the school's model has been in place for a decade. "I don't see it as being that much of any issue for us."

IV Catheter Site Care
An IV catheter may exit the body from the chest or the arm. Both sites are cleaned and dressed in the same way. Clean the site as directed and follow the steps on this sheet.
Step 1
Remove the old dressing
Wash your hands well. Put on clean gloves if you use them.
Peel the edges of the old dressing away from the skin. Hold the catheter; pull the dressing upward.
Check the exit site. Call the nurse if you have any of the problems listed on the bottom of this sheet.
Step 2
Clean the site
If you wore gloves at step 1, remove and discard them. Wash your hands again. Put on a new pair of sterile gloves.
Clean around the exit site by swabbing in circles from the area closest to the site outward. Repeat 3 times. Use alcohol and antiseptic as directed. Air-dry after each swabbing.
Clean the catheter tube with alcohol. Gently wipe from the exit site down the tube.
Step 3
Place a new dressing
Place a new dressing over the exit site. Seal all the edges of the dressing. On a chest site, try not to tape over a nipple.
Roll up the catheter tube. Tape it against the skin. Do not tape on top of the dressing.
Call your nurse
Contact your nurse right away if you have any of the following:
Redness near the exit site or along the catheter line
Swelling in the arm, neck, or chest
Fever or chills
Drainage at the exit site
The catheter slips or comes out
Temperature over 100.5°F (38.1°C)

Five observations from the New Orleans Hornets' 77-62 loss to
1. Dubious record: Scoring is going to be a season-long issue. It doesn't take James Naismith to decipher this on a night when the club sets the franchise record for fewest points scored in a game. The previous mark was 65, set once in 2000 and again in 2003. This is the kind of things that happens when Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers are all sidelined on the same night.
2. Greivis-ness: It wasn't a good night for Greivis Vasquez, who heretofore had played well. He struggled mightily against the Sixers dynamic duo of defensive minded point guards: Jrue Holiday and Royal Ivey. Vasquez was just 3-of-13 from the field with seven assists and a team-high five turnovers. Vasquez has now attempted a team-high 52 shots, not a good sign for your starting point guard who has never been know for his scoring ability.
3. Double-A effort: Its not always pretty but Al-Farouq Aminu continues to stuff the stat sheet. Monty Williams had to love this line: 10 points, 16 rebounds, three assists and two steals. He's never going to be an offensive force but he'll continue to log quality minutes with his defense and athleticism.
4. D-pendable: Williams knows this offensively-challenged team will live and die on its defense. In this area, the Hornets were again solid. Granted, there are no Allen Iversons on these Sixers but anytime you outrebound your opponent by four, hold them to 51 percent shooting and produce nine blocked shots and eight steals you know the effort is there.
5. VIPs: Cross-ownership has its benefits. On a night bereft of star power on the court, several Saints players increased the wattage in the stands. Among them: Jermon Bushrod, Mark Ingram, Cameron Jordan and Jon Casillas. Several Hornets attended the Saints' win against the Eagles on Monday night, and it was nice to see their football peers return the favor.

A great video game about the classic story of The Three Little Pigs could have been easily been made for the Atari 2600. Many people don't realize that there's more to the story than the wolf huffing and puffing houses down. The wolf tried to coerce the pig with the brick house to get out into the open where he could easily be turned into bacon bits. That section of the fable alone could have made for a few decent levels of video gaming. Instead, Mike Lorenzen's lone Atari 2600 game is a dull, unenjoyable reverse version of Breakout.
In Oink! you take turns playing the three pigs, each of them representing the houses made of straw, wood and brick. The big, bad wolf is blowing down the floor of the houses in an attempt to use his tractor beam of a breath to pull you down to his location. The player is tasked with going to the top of the screen and grabbing bricks of material to plop down in areas the wolf has blown away. When no more bricks are left, new ones materialize.
The game speeds up rapidly as the wolf does more damage to your floorboards while your pig vainly tries to repair the damage. Eventually, your pig is dragged through the floor and then runs off. Then the player has the thankless task of doing it all over again in two other houses.
There are 3 modes. In the second game, 2 players alternate between being the pig and the wolf and in the 3rd game, one player controls the pigs and the 2nd player, the wolf.
While the game has excellent graphics and good control, Oink! is dull. It is no fun running back and forth dropping bricks into holes or blowing down floorboards. It is akin to Chinese Water Torture. I think a game of Armor Attack would be more fun.
The game can be found in various compilations like Activision Anthology or the Xbox Live Game Room but I would avoid playing it unless you need a cure for insomnia.
Somebody needs to do a homebrew of The Three Little Pigs. Heck, maybe even the Three Little Bops.

Shelby American News: Free Shipping Is Back
Shelby American has announced that due to its popularity and because of perhaps bad timing, it has brought back their Free Shipping Offer on post-title pacakges, namely the GT500 Super Snake and the GT350 packages.
Since a number of potential customers could not part with their cars during the show and driving season, but showed interest in the Free Shipping offer, Shelby has decided to extend the offer, as well as add the option of $3000 in Free Upgrades in lieu of free shipping. In the words of John Luft of Shelby American;
"We had tremendous response to our summer offer of free shipping," said John Luft, president of Shelby American Inc. "However, many of our Shelby customers were in the middle of car show and driving season. They just didn't want to let go of their car at that time. With the fall season upon us and cars starting to be tucked away for the season, there's no better time for a Shelby 'facelift.'"
This is a great offer for Shelby customers around the country who want to upgrade their Mustangs. Not only will Shelby pay for your car to be picked up at your house or local Ford dealership, but they will drop off your freshly minted Mustang GT500 Super Snake or Mustang GT350 after its transformation.
But wait, there's more. For those customers close enough to Las Vegas to drop thier cars off at Shelby headquarters, they can take advantage of $3000 in free upgrades to either the GT500 Super Snake or GT350 packages. That won't get you a free supercharger, but it will get you into a custom Shelby interior.
But make sure you have your car there by October 31st, as the offer is only good if you take advantage of it right away. This is an offer worth hundreds of dollars, at the least. So if you were planning on getting your car Shelby-ized, there is some good incentive. And with completed cars showing up in flea-bay for over $100,000, it just might be a good investment.

President Sharril L. McNally said "concerned parties in Saginaw" on Sept. 10 asked museum board members to explore with them the possibility of remaining in lumber baron Clark Lombard Ring's mansion at 1126 N. Michigan, with their help.
Museum leaders had announced in August that they would have to move the museum from its home since its inception in 1948, saying they could no longer afford the utility bills of $100,000 a year and a $450,000 mortgage on the $7.45 million in expansions that opened in 2003 and 2004.
"All they're asking us is to give them time to negotiate ways to meet our issues and needs," McNally said. "We're not doing anything today — we're not adding staff or increasing our hours — but we're very excited to see where this leads. Everyone's heart and soul is in this. How can anything bad come out of it?"
• Saginaw Art Museum explores three Saginaw County locations in search for new home
• Saginaw Art Museum likely to move out of historic mansion, citing costs
• 'We knew there were huge problems,' artist Paolo Pedini says of Saginaw Art Museum
• Director of Saginaw Art Museum at time of expansion recalls debt-free days
• Put Saginaw Art Museum focus back on serving community, former curator says
• New use of lumber baron mansion worth considering by Saginaw Art Museum, historian says
Meantime, the museum remains open only for Macy's Free Fridays.
While the two groups work together on a business plan, ensuring they will not head again down the road that brought the museum to the edge of financial ruin, McNally said "we are tabling the vote on the other locations" at the annual meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. today, Sept. 13.
The board will elect new officers, show a PowerPoint presentation on issues facing the museum and field questions from the public.
In late August, private groups offered three possible locations for the museum to occupy.
"This is a proposal in its infancy, and normally we would have time to figure out the details before going public," McNally said. "But they've asked us to please stop and look at what we can do together before taking a vote Thursday.
"At the very least, with the three locations offered, it gives us four fantastic options as we determine the best direction to go."
Past financial decisions have taken their toll on today's operation, McNally admitted, "and we have to learn from them and take accountability. But our focus now is on what it will take in the future to preserve our collection and continue serving the community."
The Saginaw Art Museum, founded when the Ring family donated the home and grounds, opened in 1948. Extensions opened in 2003 and 2004 after a massive fund drive that raised more than $7 million.
But the rising costs of operation, the burden of past financial obligations and an economic downturn that drastically cut grants and donations. Those hard times led to McNally's announcement in August that "we can't afford to live here anymore."
The group of citizens and business people, who wish to work behind the scenes, will look at in-kind donations, skilled volunteers and funding in drawing up its proposal. And McNally said she intends to create financial safety-nets such as regular audits to promote fiscal accountability.
If the museum remains at the Ring home — and McNally is one of many who hope it's possible — it won't be business as usual, she added.
"I want a different mechanism put in place," she said. "I need more people to give everything a second look. We'll need to use the museum in another way, too.
"We had started looking at collaborations, such as satellite shows in other venues and a joint venture with the Castle Museum of Saginaw County History that we've really excited to see move forward. And I want to explore the healing that art can bring people.
"We need to open our doors and collaborate with the community, as we did with our railroad show, or we're just a bunch of old, dusty paintings in a building."
What is best for the museum and the permanent collection is paramount, leaders said.
"We couldn't afford to stay here," McNally said, stressing that the board believed it had exhausted every avenue when it announced plans to move.
"But now we're looking at a plan that would identify the problems and realistically meet them. I'd build a windmill in the back if I thought it would help with our energy bills. But maybe a better answer is zone heating and cooling, where we can turn off areas we aren't using. We're going to have committees looking at what we need to know to make educated decisions.
"We need to be proper stewards of what we have here."
In all the public support that has come forward in recent weeks, McNally said she knows now that the community understands that it needs the Saginaw Art Museum and that people are willing to do what they can to help it succeed.
"I've been on a roller-coaster for the past three weeks," McNally said, "but it's all worth it if we get off at the right station at the end of our journey."

North Shore Animal League America will be offering same-day adoptions of cats, kittens, puppies and dogs in Bayonne this Sunday.
Based in Long Island, North Shore Animal League is the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization in world.
The League's same-day adoption event is scheduled for noon to 5 p.m. at Petland Discounts, 533 Broadway.
"Not everyone can make it to a local shelter or here to our headquarters, so we really want to be out in the community and bringing pets to potential adopters," said Cara Taback, the League's public relations director.
The animals up for adoption will have been spayed, neutered and vaccinated, Taback added.
Those interested in adopting should be prepared to offer several references, as background checks will be conducted on site.
The price to adopt an animal starts at $100.
"There are many beautiful and healthy animals in shelters and each animal adopted is a life saved," Taback said.

Man gets 40 to 80 years in NE Pa. murder case
Friday, August 1, 2014
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A judge has imposed a 40- to 80-year sentence on a man convicted in the death of a man whose body was found in a sport utility vehicle at the bottom of a northeastern Pennsylvania ravine a year ago.
The (Scranton) Times-Tribune (http://bit.ly/1pMeIo7 ) reports that Lackawanna County Judge Terrence Nealon imposed the maximum sentence on 24-year-old Jason Dominick. He was convicted of third-degree murder and conspiracy in the death of 24-year-old Frank Bonacci, whose body was found in an SUV on a ledge above Roaring Brook in July 2013.
Defense attorney Bernard Brown had asked the judge to combine the murder and conspiracy convictions and impose only a 17- to 34-year term.
Twenty-four-year-old Neil Pal was earlier convicted of first-degree murder and faces a mandatory life term without parole.

The St. John's IceCaps Will O'Neill went from being a dismal minus-11 in the first 17 games of the season to a plus-12 in the 39 games since.
St. John's icecaps blueliner Will O'Neill playing with poise after overcoming early-season struggles
Will O'Neill admits this 2013-14 St. John's IceCaps' season has been one of ups and downs for the Boston-born defenceman, a point that probably falls into the understated category.
Fact is, O'Neill's second year in St. John's has been akin to a Canada Wonderland ride.
Poor Will O'Neill. If he didn't have bad luck early on this season, he'd would have had none at all. Take the IceCaps' first game of the year, at home against the Providence Bruins: score tied 3-3. Overtime. O'Neill has the puck at the Providence blueline, winds up for a shot and shatters his stick on the follow-through. Puck moves about six feet, is scooped up by the Bruins' Nick Johnson who dashes all the way down the ice and beats Eddie Pasquale for the game-winner.
It got only marginally better after that. In five of the next 10 games, he would go minus-three twice, minus-two and, on two occasions, was minus-one. In late November, he was finally relegated to the press box for six straight games.
But guess what? That was then, and this is now, and O'Neill has emerged as the red-hot IceCaps' best defenceman, a cool, confident hockey player, which is the exact opposite of what we were seeing earlier this season.
"It's the best I've seen him play since he got here," said captain Jason Jaffray.
After 17 games this season, the former NCAA standout with the University of Maine had one goal, six assists and a team-worst minus-11 rating. In 39 games since, O'Neill has scored seven goals, added 17 assists and has gone plus-12.
He's manning the IceCaps' top power play unit, is the team's designated shooter during five-on-three situations and overall is making much better on-ice decisions. The turnovers and ill-advised pinches appear to be a thing of the past.
"I don't think I was doubting my abilities," O'Neill said this week, "but at the same time, it's hard to go home after a game when you've been minus-two or minus-three and watch yourself turn the puck over on the highlights."
O'Neill says long-distance family support helped him through the tough times, in particular words of encouragement from his father, Bill, who watches every game online. Bill O'Neill played college hockey, winning the 1978 NCAA championship with Boston University along with Jim Craig, Jack O'Callahan and Dave Silk, a trio who later starred on the 1980 U.S. Olympic "Miracle on Ice" team.
The elder O'Neill has been head coach at Salem St. University since 1981.
"My dad is always very positive, telling me to stick with it and keep practising. He keeps me going," Will O'Neill said.
"I've had my ups and downs, last year and this year, but I know if I just keep working as hard as I can good things are going to happen.
"I love the game ... it's so much fun. I think that's a big part of it."
O'Neill, 25, was originally drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2006. He didn't turn pro until the end of the 2011-12 season, after his four years at Maine were done. He played last year on an NHL contract, producing three goals and 21 points in 59 games. However, the Jets did not grant him a qualifying offer after O'Neill became a restricted free agent, instead opting to bring him back on an AHL deal this season.
He is often one of the first players on the ice at practice, and is one of the last to leave the rink when the day is done. It's a work ethic that isn't lost on his teammates.
"He puts the work in, and you can see it," Jaffray said. "He's grown as a hockey player. He's consistent, and the coaches definitely have a lot of confidence in him right now."
Playing with Julian Melchiori since Kris Fredheim was injured, O'Neill is on a four-game point-scoring streak as the IceCaps embark today on a six-game road trip that begins Friday night in Hartford, Conn. He picked up an assist last Saturday night in a 3-2 win over the Portland Pirates, lugging the puck up the ice with poise and confidence, which resulted in a Carl Klingberg goal.
"When coach called me in back in November and said I wasn't playing, I knew," O'Neill said. "I wanted to play better, I wanted better results, better everything.
"I knew I needed to go back to the drawing board and work my butt off even more in practice and reload. I guess I wasn't making my own luck, so I thought I just needed to get back to a simple game and go from there."
In this case, it appears less really is more.

The FBI on Tuesday identified a Harvard University student as the alleged perpetrator of the false bomb threat at the college that forced authorities to evacuate four campus buildings while final exams were under way.
The 20-year-old student, Eldo Kim, who admitted to authorities that he made the bomb threat to get out of a final exam, will appear on Wednesday in U.S. district court for a criminal hearing that could result in him facing up to five years in prison, three years of supervised parole and a fine of $250,000.
The FBI said that on Monday the student allegedly sent to several university offices, including the campus police, an identical e-mail reading: "shrapnel bombs placed in science center, sever hall, emerson hall, thayer hall, 2/4. guess correctly. be quick for they will go off soon."
Those four buildings were the ones that authorities evacuated on Monday morning shortly after the threat was received, thus forcing the postponement of a number of final exams that were under way there at the time.
In the criminal complaint it filed in the matter, the FBI said, "Kim was scheduled to take a final exam in Emerson Hall ... at 9:00 a.m. on December 16, 2013. Kim stated that he was in Emerson Hall at 9:00 a.m. when the fire alarm sounded and the building was evacuated .... According to Kim, upon hearing the alarm, he knew that his plan had worked."
The FBI said that Kim took measures to hide his identity, but he was eventually tracked down because he had used the university's WiFi network, via which he was able to be identified.
Police made a thorough search of the campus but found no trace of any explosives or proof of any specific threat so they gave the all clear and by late Monday afternoon campus activities were largely back to normal. EFE

There was a lot of walking in Japan. My legs were sore for days. I had a huge blister on the back of my right foot (thank you Puma, you suck), which later popped (bursted?) during my hike at Fushimi Inari Taisha. No worries. I bought a box a band-aids and a new pair of shoes.
If you haven't already noticed, I like to eat my way through almost every city I visit, especially the ones in Asia. So naturally, the first thing that my friend and I did after we landed in Tokyo and checked in (AirBnB) was eat. Our first meal was at Kimukatsu (there is actually one on Sawtelle) in the Ebisu district. Layers of layers of thinly sliced pork, deep fried and served on a wire rack. It was kinda delicious.
Do you know what else was delicious? The tub of steamed rice that the waiter brought over. If I lived in Japan, I could eat a bowl every day. Isn't it pretty? Just nod.
We had every intention of making it to the tuna auction at Tsujiki the next morning. Well we arrived at 4:30am and still missed it. But you know what? I can't say that I'm particularly disappointed. I think I was too tired to feel any emotions. Since we were already out, we decided to spend the morning waiting in line for some sushi breakfast at 壽司大和 (Sushi Daiwa), apparently it's the 2nd most popular.
Had to add a filter to cover up the lack of make up and puffy eyes.
The following morning we had breakfast at another sushi restaurant, 市場** (Ichiba Sushi). This joint wasn't listed anywhere, but the sushi was just as fresh. We agreed the experience was actually a lot more enjoyable. The sushi chef was more friendly and didn't insist that we do omakase. Ichiba is located a few alleys down from Sushi Daiwa.
Betty's Uni Bowl. I like uni (sea urchin) and all but I don't think I can eat this much uni. Go Betty!
Where was I? Oh yes. Let's go back to the first morning after breakfast at Sushi Daiwa. We had a second breakfast at 井上, which was located somewhere in the outer market area. I don't think they have a website, but I'm sure they are listed on someone's top ramen list. There was one thing on the menu and one thing only. Ramen. See below. A huge bowl for approximately $5.83, and it taste so much better than the $8.50 spicy chicken quesadilla I had for lunch today.
Had I not stuffed my face with two breakfasts (all before 7:00am), I would've had room to eat these rice balls (I love rice) and grilled clams.
There are a lot of shrines and temples in Japan. We visited so many that I think we're both shrined and templed out for the next few years. The first one we visited was 明治神宮 (Meiji Jingu), which was located in the middle of Yoyogi Park. I'm not really sure which gate we entered from, but the path we took was…very green. It's quite lovely, no?
Before you enter any shrine or temple in Japan, you must to cleanse your hands and mouth.
The divination stick I picked out at the Meiji Temple said:
One who is spiritually pure feels no shame before the invisible but all-seeing gods (kami). Hence, such true-heartedness is the source of peace and happiness.
Someone please translate that into real speak.
A lot of people, including me, like to write their wishes down on a piece of paper or tablet and hang them somewhere in the shrine/temple. Can you find mine? I did a very Miss Universe thing and asked for world peace.
We bumped into a cute little girl wearing a kimono at the temple. She was attending someone's wedding, but was also taking pictures with tourists upon request.
One of the top things listed for Tokyo was Shibuya Crossing. Apparently, this intersection is the busiest in the world. Per the recommendations of many travel guides (and my cousin), we ordered some drinks at Starbucks and waited on the second floor to watch the madness. Damn that's a lot of people. Actually crossing it wasn't too bad though.
One of the parks that we visited was 新宿御苑 (Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden). I think it was supposed to be beautiful but it was just…gloomy and green? We should go back during Cherry Blossom season.
Another temple that we visited was 淺草寺 Sensoji. It's touristy, but totally worth fighting the crowd for. At the temple, I prayed and drew a "吉" divination stick. My fortune read "all your request and desire will get through and change for the better", "you can do everything in a hurry and be safe" and "you can meet with so many happiness". Um…the English wasn't really that good. I also got "the person you wait for will come but late". $hit. I got the same fortune at Tokyo Daijingu, "THE PERSON YOU AWAIT: If he comes, will be late". WTF?
There was a big market in front of the temple with lots of souvenirs and treats. Below was the fried mochi filled with red bean that I ate. One of the few sweet snack that I had that didn't taste like I had swallowed a jar of sugar.
Before our train ride to Osaka, we had breakfast at Tsujiki again. I can't get enough of this market. This time we didn't have sushi, we had curry. I ordered beef curry (not shown below). I think I may have ate two tiny pieces of beef. It's ok though because that just means I have more room for the rice. I did not touch that big glob of shredded cabbage.
We took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka, and stayed at an apartment (AirBnB) in Temma. There were several covered streets with lots of restaurants and shops. One in particular looked like a snack shop threw up on itself. Look at all those treats. There were so many to choose from that I left empty handed. Yep. I didn't buy a thing. I don't do well with multiple choice.
One of our best meals in Japan was at a yakiniku restaurant in some random alley. The staff spoke minimal English, the menu was in Japanese and there were no pictures. Thank you Google translate. The only character I recognized on the menu was "牛" for beef. I think the restaurant was called 天滿燒肉 + a couple of Japanese characters. It was dark so I didn't get any good pictures. Sorry.
The next day, we ventured out to 金閣寺 (Kinaku-ji). If you can squeeze your way through all the tour groups, you get to see this:
The view was so breath taking you can almost forget there are swarms of people around, totally invading your personal space. Almost.
I ate more rice after Kinkaku-ji. You can really work up an appetite fighting the crowds. Yes that light brown stringy stuff on top were dried fish. Those silver dots were eye balls. I ate them all. Don't let me hear or see you cringe. I will judge you. What's the word for people that don't venture out of their comfort zone? I'm thinking "boring" but that's not it.
Our next destination was Fushimi Inari Taisha. Photo Tip: if you want to get a good picture without all those tour group photo bombers, you need to keep climbing those stairs. The tour groups only get to stay here for maybe an hour at most, so they all hover at the bottom of the hill.
After our hike to the top, I tried a black sesame ice cream made with silken tofu. It was one of the few times that I devoured all the ice cream and cone. My friends know that I don't often finish my drinks or desserts.
In the afternoon, we ventured into the city of Gion in hopes of catching a glimpse of a real geisha. We saw three, but my camera wasn't ready for any of them. My camera was ready for the okonomiyaki and grilled mochi balls though.
Betty (the one in the black sweater and pony tail) loves walking through the alleys of Gion.
Betty's mom bought these sweet rice things filled with red beans. Oh my god they were awful. Again, it tasted like I swallowed a jar of sugar. They are pretty though.
We tried to go to Nara, but it just wasn't meant to be. We're still not sure how we got lost on the train for three hours. Anyways, after we gave up we decided to go to Dotonbori in Minami a little early to have lunch. We had tofu and dumplings (not gyoza) at 大板王將. It was surprisingly satisfying. The sauce for the tofu had a tiny bit of spice to it. The dumplings were perfectly pan fried on the outside with a juicy meat filling on the inside. What more can you ask for?
Kani Doraku, the restaurant with the big giant crab on the store front is apparently the most popular place to have dinner. Their specialty is crab. We dropped by the restaurant around 2:30pm to make a reservation for a 4:10pm dinner. I quite enjoyed my grilled crab legs and it wasn't expensive at all.
At some point during our trip, I got tired of taking pictures. All the temples and shrines were starting to blend together and I could barely tell which is which. The last temple that we visited was 清水寺 (Kiyomizu-dera). Again, there were many tourists. You do have to hike a bit to get up here though.
We spent our last 1 1/2 days back in Tokyo, doing some last minute shopping and sightseeing. My friend Akko took us to Imahan for real sukiyaki on our last night. We left our shoes at the door and went around the whole entire restaurant bare foot. I learned that I've been eating sukiyaki all wrong. The meat and vegetables should be cooked in a shallow pan of broth, not in a pot. Thank you Akko for making the reservation.
That basically summarizes my first trip to Japan. I'm already trying to figure out when I can go again. I miss the food, my daily bowl of rice, the fish market, and public transportation. I wished I had more time to explore, shop and try some of the bento boxes. Next time I want to go the Alice in Wonderland restaurant and visit SkyTree at night.

During her photoshoot, she grabbed the photographer's camera and started shooting a few pics of her own. Talk about multi-talented, LOL! Take a look at our photo gallery below and let us know your thoughts.

- About the brand
As featured in Dermatology Times, the leading newsmagazine for
dermatologists. Clearogen is recognized as the best over-the-counter anti-acne
formula based on proven ingredients for an effective treatment to clear up
existing acne and prevent new acne from developing. Clearogen addresses the real
cause of acne. Clearogen is effective against male & female puberty acne,
menstrual acne, stress induced acne, body acne and acne that has been
non-responsive to other products.
Most people don't realize that acne does not begin with clogged pores or bacteria. According to Dermatologists and skin researchers, the leading causes of acne are neither clogged pores nor bacteria. Although clogged pores and bacteria play a role in the development of acne they don't start it. The fact is that acne begins in the oil glands (sebaceous glands).
A hormonal byproduct called DHT (Dihydro-testosterone) found in both males and females stimulates the oil glands, resulting in excessive oil production. Normally the oil helps protect the outer layers of the skin, but when overproduced it can clog the pores. Oil builds up in the pores and provides the environment for bacterial growth. Bacteria digest the excess oil and trigger the body's immune system to destroy the bacteria, which results in visible acne (recognized as white heads, black heads, and blemishes)
As with all skin care products begin the regimen gradually to allow your skin to acclimate to Clearogen. If you have sensitive skin, initially apply Clearogen every other day for one week then continue with daily application. Before exposure to sunlight use a non-comedogenic UVA/UVB sunscreen.
Created by board certified dermatologist, Alex Khadavi MD, Clearogen is designed to help control and treat acne in 3 easy steps. This collection includes a cleanser, toner and lotion that work to inhibit DHT, a hormone that causes excess oil. Clearogen kills bacteria and soothes infection for smooth, clear skin.

Nexus 7 May Ship in the Next Couple Days
I, like many of you guys, have been waiting patiently on my Nexus 7 to arrive at my doorstep. It's difficult to sit and wait, knowing that you've got the latest and greatest of Google technology just waiting to be let out of the floodgates and into your waiting palms. So this news comes as a relief for many, myself included. According to PhoneArena, the Nexus 7 is said to be shipping within a couple days. So long as you have ordered from the Google Play Store. If you ordered through anybody else, currently there's no telling when it will ship out.
But for those who ordered from Le Goog, themselves, they will be able to see what the fuss is about with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The tablet has received rave reviews and has been quickly pronounced the best tablet you can buy for the money. At $199, that's a significant statement.

Assets, liabilities and owners' equity are the three components that make up a company's balance sheet. The balance sheet, which shows a business's financial condition at any point, is based on this equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity
This equation is also the framework for keeping track of money as it flows in and out of your company. Starting with the first penny you earn, you'll record in a general ledger each and every transaction using a double-entry system of debits and credits. Assets get recorded on the top or the left side of the balance sheet; liabilities and owners' equity are recorded on the bottom or the right side of the balance sheet.
The information on each company's general ledger is unique to that business; however, all companies classify their general ledger accounts as assets, liabilities or owners' equity. Businesses use more specific accounts within each classification, for example, "current assets" or "long-term liabilities," to organize and track their finances.
An asset is anything of value that your company owns — including cash. Assets get recorded on the balance sheet in terms of their dollar values. Remember, even if you used credit to purchase an asset, you still own it. Its full dollar value gets recorded on one side of the balance sheet as an asset, and the amount you owe gets recorded on the other side of the balance sheet as a liability. There are several types of assets:
- Current assets. These are assets with dollar amounts that continually change, for example, cash, accounts receivable, inventory or raw materials your company uses to make a product. They are listed on the balance sheet in order of their liquidity, or how fast they can be converted into cash.
- Investments. Companies, like individuals, can own securities such as stocks and bonds. Investments, like cash or property, are considered assets.
- Capital assets. Think of capital assets, also called plant assets, as permanent things your company owns. Land, buildings, equipment and vehicles are common capital assets. So are things like computers, furniture and appliances, as long as they remain for use within your business and are not items you sell.
- Intangible assets. Patents, copyrights and other nonmaterial assets that have value are referred to as intangible.
Anything a company owes to people or businesses other than its owners is considered a liability. There are two types of liabilities:
- Current liabilities. In general, if a liability must be paid within a year, it is considered current. This includes bills, money you owe to your vendors and suppliers, employee payroll and short-term loans.
- Long-term liabilities. A long-term liability is any debt that extends beyond one year, such as a mortgage.
Owners' Equity
Owners' equity, also called capital, is any debt owed to the business owners. For example, if you invested $50,000 of your savings to start a business, that amount is recorded in a capital account, also referred to as an owners'-equity account. In publicly traded companies, outstanding preferred and common stock also represents owners' equity.
Your business's revenues and expenses are also recorded in capital accounts because they relate to how much money your company makes over a period of time. At the end of each accounting cycle, a business' profits get transferred to a capital account.

I agree. Proper gramar helps a lot.
Sony can't price drop without massive profit loss. If you think the PS3 will price drop more than $100 you don't know Kaz Hirai. He's all about feeding the rich elite gamer. Sony also has a lot of money to keep the PS3 afloat easily with what they have for the next 4 years. Sony will probably stay the current path because they can.

Business leaders from across south Alabama plan to gather in Montgomery for three days this week to talk with state officials about the continuing impact of the BP oil spill.
"We can't sit idly by and wait for someone to come and save us," said Donna Watts, president of the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce. "We have to figure out how we save ourselves and how we control our own future and destiny."
This will be the chamber's third retreat in four years, Watts said, having skipped 2009 because of a woeful economy.
"While last year the economy was not the greatest, this year is a crisis," Watts said. "And we feel like the situation calls for the attention to be brought to our issues and problems."
This week's event is organized by the South Baldwin Chamber, as well as the Alabama Gulf Coast Area Chamber of Commerce and Gulf Shores-Orange Beach Tourism.
A group of about 90 is expected to meet at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa on Tuesday through Thursday. Participants will include municipal officials from Elberta, Foley, Gulf Shores, Magnolia Springs, Orange Beach, Perdido Beach and Summerdale; representatives from the Baldwin County Commission, Board of Education, Economic Development Alliance, Coastal Resiliency Coalition, GUMBO Board, Alabama Gulf Coast and South Baldwin Education Foundations and the legislative delegation, as well as other business and community leaders.
The event's first speaker, Mike Utsler, COO of the BP Gulf Coast Restoration Organization, is scheduled to appear Tuesday night and is expected to talk about the oil giant's recovery plans in Alabama.
Gov.-elect Robert Bentley is scheduled to speak to the group at a dinner Wednesday, with other high-profile leaders also included on the retreat agenda.
Watts said that it was important for south Baldwin business leaders to be present in Montgomery, so that lawmakers will keep the coast in mind.
"We want to remind our representatives on our state level that things are still not fixed here," she said.
Watts said that as many as 200 businesses in the south Baldwin area "are desperate to recover the revenue they have lost."
"The underpinning of all of this is our business committee, and if that fabric fails, then our entire way of life here fails," she said. "We are not whole. We are a long way from being made whole."
Throughout the retreat, business leaders and elected officials will break into separate groups and discuss the continuing impact of the oil spill and what needs to be accomplished the rest of this year and in the early months of next year, said Bob Higgins of the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance.
He hopes the group can "come up with a list of things we can do to help ourselves survive," he said. "And, if we're really clever, to make ourselves stronger next year."
