Scientists search for clues in quake
WEATHERSFIELD – State regulators and Columbia University scientists are working to find out if Sunday's 2.1-magnitude earthquake centered in Weathersfield has any connection to two nearby injection wells that just received permission to operate there in March.
The quake was centered about 10 miles northwest of Youngstown, according to information recorded by the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. The quake, minor by geologic standards, occurred at 5:34 p.m. Sunday.
No other recent local quakes have been recorded.
Prompted by requests several years ago by Ohio regulatory officials, Lamont Doherty Observatory began monitoring seismic activity in Youngstown that ultimately was linked to a Class II saltwater injection well there.
Injection wells are used in the brine and oil field waste disposal process. Tens of thousands of gallons of salty brine water collected during the hydraulic fracturing pro-cess are injected thousands of feet underground for permanent disposal.
Some experts have determined the process can trigger seismic activity, particularly if the well is located on or near naturally occurring fault lines.
John Armbruster, a Lamont Doherty seismologist, confirmed the earthquake data Tuesday, but until hearing from a Tribune Chronicle reporter, had no knowledge of the relatively new injection wells now located nearby.
Armbruster said he could not immediately say whether the quake may be linked to new injection wells, but called it "suspicious."
"That's very interesting news," Armbruster said of the location of the new injection wells. "I was about to say 16 kilometers from Youngstown seems too far for the Youngstown well to be blamed for this."
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which regulates the gas and oil drilling and disposal industry in the state, is investigating whether there is a link.
"ODNR is reviewing both data from seismic monitoring equipment and operating Class II injection wells in the area surrounding the recent seismic event in Trumbull County. The review of this data will allow ODNR to determine if any correlation can be made and whether or not any regulatory action is necessary," ODNR spokesman Mark Bruce said in a prepared statement.
The injection wells in question are operated by American Water Management Service LLC, an arm of Howland-based Avalon Holdings.
A message left seeking comment from Stephen Kilper, American Waste Management vice president, was not immediately returned Tuesday.
The company's two wells along state Route 169 received permits March 24 to begin accepting 1,000 to 2,000 barrels of waste per day.
As a result of the tremor, Weathersfield trustees are in the process of drafting a letter to send to ODNR and the U.S. Geological Survey urging a detailed investigation into the cause.
"It will basically tell them that we do have a concern and we would appreciate that they would look into it for the benefit of our residents," Gerberry said.
He added that American Waste Services has routinely attended monthly trustees meetings and has worked hard to be a good neighbor in the township.
"I feel bad for them that it happened," Gerberry said. "They have a large investment in it, too."
Seismic monitors placed in the area of an unrelated Youngstown injection well operated by Northstar Disposal Well Services in late 2011 had detected about 100 earthquakes in the month of December 2011. The seismic activity eventually ceased once injection into that well was terminated.
Other than those quakes centered in Youngstown, Armbruster said he knows of no history of naturally occurring earthquakes in the Youngstown-Warren area.
"For those earthquakes that seem to be purely natural, you would have to go over to Cleveland or Akron. They have had earthquakes that you can't blame on any well in the 1800s," Armbruster said. "There's a zone of them that cuts diagonal across the state, but Youngstown is well southeast of that zone. I think Niles is southeast of that zone also."

As everyone knows, I'm an adventurous eater. But perhaps, these women did not, as I ordered each dish, their eyes got bigger and bigger. To me, they were my staples. To them? Not so much. However, they are out of order, so please forgive me, I know not what I do (that's a song…).
The second dish, third staple, was Spanish mackerel sashimi. This one was a little less prepared than I'm used to, as it wasn't thinly sliced and then chopped into small squares, and then mixed with ponzu, green onions, and chili sauce, on a bed of spiraled white radish. And I didn't receive the bones, or the skeleton of the mackerel. Which is the part I love, deep fried and crispy. However, while the preparation was not up to my par, the fish in itself was very tasty. Sweet and delicate, a beautiful silver color, soft texture. I would've eaten it with my hands, but alas, I did not.
I believe that Ms. Bonilla (the sister that was eating) ordered a crunchy roll-tempura shrimp, avocado, crab meat wrapped in soy paper. And it was good! Ain't nuttin' wrong with a good ol' simple roll. The crab meat was imitation (rarely do you find crab mixtures with real crab meat in rolls), but cold and moist, never dry, and the tempura. Well. Who doesn't like tempura? A lighter version of fried yumminess? Yes.
They're usually alive in a bag, sitting on cool water and ice, but sometimes can get too water-logged. As this case. But the heads were scrumptious, if not a little bony. Again, with the fried yumminess, everything is good. Usually there is more meat (brain? cheek? do shrimps have cheeks?), but I was happily gossiping away, taking more notice of my companions noticing what I was eating.
And lastly, Ms. Bonilla (the sister still eating) ordered a spicy tuna roll with avocado on top. The spicy tuna didn't lie. It was spicy! Whew. I still remember. But it was good as well.
A couple of things…I'm not a roll eater, for the most part. I tend to order them because my companions are roll eaters. If I'm by myself, on my own tab, or with someone who will eat what I tell them to eat (no questions asked), you won't see them on my table or at the bar. However, if the chef gives me something roll-esque, I will never refuse. But I do judge a place by the stickiness of the rice, obviously, the stickier the better, and Tomo had good stickiness.
But I would have preferred…more…oomph. The little bits of extra that one will sometimes get. But perhaps eating at a table might do that. Sushi with friends is always a pleasure though, maybe because of the way the food is served, in several dishes, all at different times.

Kunsthofpassage Singing Drain Pipes
When the rain falls, this drain system turns into a musical instrumentEdit Place
When the rain starts to fall, this colorful drain and gutter system in the Neustadt Kunsthofpassage turns into a charming musical instrument.
The "Courtyard of Elements" is one of the strangest and most enjoyable attractions in Dresden's student district in the new town. It's part of the Kunsthofpassage series of courtyards, which is an art experiment by the tenants of the apartment buildings on which the works are installed. Created by sculptor Annette Paul and designers Christoph Rossner and Andre Tempel, this piece was inspired by Rube Goldberg Machine, converting the mere patter of rainfall into a spectacular orchestral symphony.
The other installations in the Kunsthofpassage project include Hof des Lichts, or "Courtyard of Light," Hof der Tiere, "Courtyard of Animals," and Hof der Metamorphosen, "Courtyard of the Metamorphoses."

Sewer system comes back to haunt Oak Harbor
An Oak Harbor sewer controversy from four years ago has bubbled to the surface once again.
Most of the residents of the small waterfront neighborhood of Driftwood Beach Addition signed a petition requesting a local improvement district, commonly known as an LID, to build a gravity sewer system to connect their homes to the city's system.
The problem is that there's already another type of sewer system in place, though the majority of residents didn't ask for it and don't like it.
"It's an environmental nightmare. It's an economic nightmare," resident Kenneth Manni said.
After lengthy discussion Tuesday, the council voted to direct city staff to explore the cost-benefit of a gravity system, but capped the amount of staff time dedicated to the project not to exceed $25,000.
Still, it may be an expensive turn of events for the city since the proposed LID would mean the city will never recoup most of its $124,000 investment in the current low-pressure sewer pipes in place.
Four years ago, the majority of residents of the neighborhood, which was then known as Dillards Addition, were surprised when construction workers began digging up their street. It turned out that city officials had allowed a contractor to put in a low-pressure, grinder-pump sewer system, which they expected the residents of the 30 homes to hook into and pay for through latecomers fees.
That's when the metaphorical poop hit the fan. Many of the residents were upset that they weren't notified and didn't have any input in the type of system. Some felt it was put in illegally and questioned the city's relationship with the contractor; some residents felt the city wasn't open with records.
After threats of lawsuits, the city council voted to purchase the disputed sewer lines, then required residents to hook up and pay their share within five years.
But at the same time, the city council encouraged the residents to look into forming an LID, which is a funding mechanism for infrastructure projects under which residents who receive the improvements pay for them over time.
In response, all but a handful of residents signed a petition for an LID. The homeowners simply don't like the low-pressure system, which doesn't work in power outages and requires residents to maintain grinder pumps.
Yet city staff members have serious concerns with the idea. Bill Hawkins, the acting city attorney, said he discussed the issue with an expert in the area of LID-related law. He explained that, under an LID, residents can only be assessed if an improvement increases the value of the property; the assessment can't be more than the increase in value.
Since there's already a sewer system in place, Hawkins said, a new gravity line wouldn't increase the home values any further, so the homeowners couldn't legally be assessed through the LID. That could be remedied, he suggested, if the council adopts a resolution preventing further connections to the low-pressure system.
In addition, City Administrator Paul Schmidt suggested that five-year deadline for hookups be postponed, along with the LID, so that the city can first finish city-wide planning for sewer systems.
In an interview afterward, resident Robyn Kolaitis said the estimated cost for gravity sewer lines and a pump station is $622,000, but that the cost should be spread out to 196 current and future homes in the area. She worries, however, that city staff will try to limit the LID to just the 31 homes in the Driftwood Beach Addition.
Tuesday, the city council members spoke in support of the Driftwood Beach Addition residents' request, though Councilman Rick Almberg questioned why they would want to bear the cost of new sewer lines when they already have an adequate system. As a developer, he said he has low-pressure systems in buildings he owns and in those he built.
"Some of the systems have been in for 20 years and we haven't had any problems," he said.
Councilmen Scott Dudley and Jim Campbell suggested that the city council hold a meeting to discuss the residents' accusations against the city regarding alleged improprieties in the past, but other council members said they shouldn't dwell on mistakes.
"I hope we can avoid this becoming a political issue in a campaign year," Almberg said.
But while a number of people emphasized that the controversy occurred under a past mayor, Kolaitis pointed out that the staff members who made the controversial decisions four years ago are still with the city.
"I don't have a lot of faith that staff will be fair with us," she said.

Texans Accused of $375 Million Health Care Fraud
A team of seven Texans led by a Dallas-area doctor were indicted today for allegedly conspiring to commit nearly $375 million in health care fraud, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid announced.
"The conduct charged in this indictment represents the single largest fraud amount orchestrated by one doctor in the history of [the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team] and our Medicare Fraud Strike Force operations," said Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole in a prepared statement.
A tip from a team of data analysts led to the indictment of the seven Texans: Dr. Jacques Roy, a ...

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- It was frozen-turkey cold this morning. If you picked up your frozen turkey today, you had a taste of what the football must have felt like for the dozens of flag-football players participating in the Walter Jones' 3rd Annual Turkey Bowl for HEALS this weekend at Milton Frank Stadium.
The tournament, sponsored by Walter Jones, the part-time Huntsville-area resident and perennial All-Pro offensive tackle for the Seattle Seahawks, benefits HEALS, Inc., which provides school-affiliated health care and dental care for low-incoming families and their children.
John Stallworth, the former Pittsburgh receiver and Hall of Famer with a home in the Huntsville area, opened the games with a ceremonial coin toss at Milton Frank Stadium, one of the four venues hosting the flag-football tournament.
The Turkey Bowl, presented by Booz Allen Hamilton, features a pool play tournament of teams playing seven-on-seven. The tournament field is set with 17 teams, but it welcomes spectators, who can make donations to HEALS on-site, and Jones will be serving all weekend as host. First-round play began Saturday morning. There are four different pools, with teams guaranteed three games. The four winners then advance to the single-elimination tournament on Sunday.
The Turkey Bowl offered football fanatics to get out and play flag-football on a real gridiron as well as rub shoulders with Jones and Stallworth. A bonus for the players was Jones keeping track of downs during the Milton Frank games and chatting him up between plays.
The event will raise funds for staffing and supplies for a new HEALS Dental/Optometry Clinic on the grounds of Madison Cross Roads Elementary School.

Ron Howard Hints At 'Arrested' Movie
Arrested Development patriarch Jeffrey Tambor told a radio show yesterday that Ron Howard may go ahead with a movie based on the brilliant but canceled television show. We sure hope Liza reprises her role as the perpetually dizzy Lucille Austero!

If they make the movie it will do $300 billion box office in the first weekend.

The state Board of Public Utilities voted unanimously yesterday to overturn an administrative law judge's winter ruling regarding money allegedly owed Public Service Electric & Gas customers as a result of utility deregulation.
The Department of The Public Advocate has for years argued that about $140 million is owed back to rate payers after a charge was tacked on to customer bills as a way to compensate the utility for selling its power generation component to its sister company, PSEG Power.
In his January decision, Judge Walter Braswell said the debate was moot as the BPU had already approved a settlement over how much money was due back to customers in 2004. Legal precedent has shaped the idea that you can't try the same case twice. But the BPU's Wednesday vote effectively dismisses that argument.
"We believe this case was properly decided in 2004," said Karen Johnson, a PSE&G spokeswoman in a statement. "In our view, the administrative law judge's conclusions were correct."
While not a clear-cut victory, Public Advocate Ronald Chen said he was pleased by the board's decision. "The board made it clear that it will decide this case on the merits," he said in a statement.

The questions on the new test were somewhat similar, but there was this big difference: The student's teacher was not the one scoring the test. Instead, it was graded by an independent evaluator, Measurement Inc.
The SRA had long been criticized as a way for teachers to give a pass to students who did not meet standards for graduation. In fact, 96 percent of SRA takers passed that exam.
Once the scoring was taken out of the school building, students started to flunk in droves. Of 9,500 students who took the new math test when it was introduced in January, 35 percent passed. Of 4,500 who took the language arts portion, only 15 percent passed. When the AHSA was administered again in April, the results were somewhat better: 48 percent passed math and 35 percent passed language arts.
This year's experience should serve as a wakeup call for districts that they can no longer use the alternative testing route to push through students lacking the basic skills to function in today's world.
There's another lesson: Preparation is key.
The Department of Education should have done a better job preparing schools for the switch. The Education Law Center, which advocates for students in poor urban districts, says the new test should have had a pilot year. "You can't open a trap door on thousands of students three months before graduation," says Stan Karp, a program director for ELC. Good point.
Schools should have done a better job preparing students for the new test. The improved performance in April suggests more preparation helped.
What about the students who didn't pass? The state is allowing districts to submit appeals using other evidence to show that a student deserves to graduate. The evidence can include scores from other standardized tests, class work that shows proficiency, or school staff recommendations. Others will have to go to summer school to prepare for a retest.
The appeals process is a reasonable way to ensure that deserving students who may not have been ready for the new test have a chance to graduate. But come next year, school districts have the ultimate responsibility to prepare students to meet the higher standards and be successful on the exam.

Hoddle Street mass murderer Julian Knight could be kept in jail until the day he dies under a new law created especially for him.
The legislation, which will be introduced in the Victorian parliament on Tuesday, will severely restrict the circumstances in which the Adult Parole Board can grant Knight parole.
Premier Denis Napthine says the law, which will apply solely to Knight, will mean he can only be released if he is in imminent danger of dying or is seriously incapacitated and as a result is no longer a risk to the public.
'This is a specific case that warrants strong, specific attention,' Dr Napthine told Fairfax Radio on Tuesday.
'We want to make sure our worst mass murderer in Victoria, who has shown no remorse ... should simply be told he's to remain in jail.'
Knight, who killed seven people and injured 19 during a shooting rampage in 1987, was sentenced to life in prison with a 27-year non-parole period.
He is eligible for parole in May.
Dr Napthine said he trusts the parole board would have done the right thing, but he still wanted to send a clear message.
Knight has been declared a vexatious litigant after many court appearances relating to his parole and other matters.
Just last month the 45-year-old was alleged to have been involved in a prison assault that left another inmate in hospital with a broken jaw.

SAFE boats signs new lease with port
SAFE Boats International has signed a new three-year lease with the Port of Bremerton.
"SAFE Boats International continues to enjoy our longstanding relationship with the Port of Bremerton that dates back to 2000," said SAFE Boats International CEO Scott Peterson. "Our current and future boat contracts ensure that our Bremerton operations will continue to be busy."
SAFE Boats operates out of three buildings at the Port of Bremerton Industrial Park totaling 100,000 square feet and uses an additional five acres of land at the Port of Bremerton Industrial Park. The new lease covers all of that property and runs through 2015.
Rich Peterson, the port's director of business development, said that SAFE Boat's annual rent will go from $76,178 to $498,254 as a result of various improvements that the port has made in recent months to the property.
In addition, as part of the new lease package, SAFE Boats has an option to give nine-month notice to consolidate its operations without penalty.
According to port officials that "worst case scenario" seems highly unlikely, though, considering that the company now has about 270 employees and has announced plans to take that total to 300 or so by the end of the year.
Just last month the company announced a $35 million contract with the U.S. Navy to build up to six MK VI Patrol Boats. That manufacturing will take place in a 22,000 square foot Commencement Bay facility on Port of Tacoma property. The Navy boats, at 78 feet in length, are too big to transport on the road so water access was required for construction. All of SAFE Boats other manufacturing, meanwhile, will remain in Bremerton.
SAFE Boats offers a wide range of craft ranging in length from 18 to 80 feet that are configurable to a wide variety of pleasure, commercial, law enforcement, fire and military requirements together with the training and service to support them. There are currently 1,600 boats in service in more than 50 countries around the world. The company boasts over four million cumulative operating hours of its boats without a single hull failure.

Sea Cadets graduate from recruit training
LAKEWOOD It was a proud day for seven Sea Cadets and three Navy League Cadets of the Kitsap Battalion who all successfully graduated last Sunday from recruit training or boot camp at Fort Lewis.
Making the grade were Peter J. Gorak, Joseph D. Gorak, John L. Munyan, Kristi L. Munyan, Kimberly M. Sison, Octtavale J. Wilmouth and Kenneth D. Hodgson.
Three local senior cadet drill instructors (Chief Thomas J. Gorak, Chief Dustin Risko and PO1 James Teeters) and three cadet support staff (PO3 Nicole Corbett, SN Mason Athie and SN Joan Hodgson) also participated in the two-week training.
Now that the seven have passed recruit training they can now participate in advanced training which includes medical training, master of arms and scuba training. The Navy League Cadet Corps are for younger cadets ages 10 to 13. Now that the three Navy League graduates have conquered training they too can advance in their program.
They all did a phenomenal job, said Lt. Cmdr. Ted Smith of Naval Sea Cadet Corps. This is my fifth boot camp and this was the best group ever.
The entire group consisted of 92 cadets from all over the country and Canada. The Kitsap Battalion participants shared the training grounds at Fort Lewis with cadets from Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and from other regions of Washington. Peter J. Gorak of the Kitsap Battalion received recognition as the top cadet in his platoon.
Boot camp training consisted of rifle training at a simulator field, firefighting, swimming qualifications, military history, drills, knot tying, damage control and plenty of physical training including a 12-mile march.
I like living a military life and being surrounded by people with similar interests, said 14-year-old Mason Athie, one of the three support staff cadets.
Athie already graduated from recruit training last year while living on Guam. As a member of the support staff at the recruit training at Fort Lewis, it was his job to make sure everyone received the supplies they needed. Nicole Corbett, a 17-year-old who attends Olympic High School, also was one of the cadet staff and compares recruit training with the saying a few minutes of pain leads to a lifetime of pride.
The Kitsap Battalion has a total of 30 cadets and 10 officers and continues to grow. Their drills are held every other Saturday at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor at the Reserve Center located outside the main gates. They are a Seabee related battalion. Anyone between the ages of 13 and 17, (18 and older may be officers or instructors) male and female can join the Kitsap Battalion which also has use of a 56-foot former Army oceanographic survey vessel.

Murder in a border town: an author's account
Seattle journalist David Neiwert will be at Griffin Bay Bookstore, Oct. 12, 2-4 p.m., to present and discuss "And Hell Followed With Her: Crossing the Dark Side of the American Border", his latest work in chronicling the exploits of right-wing extremism in America.
Billed as an illuminating portrait of a southwestern tragedy, the book follows the brutal murder that rocked the Arizona border town of Arivaca, and the ugly underbelly of the anti-immigrant movement that played a vital role in it.
Managing editor of Crook and Liars, a political blog, Neiwert exposes realities of life on the border and myths perpetuated by the Minutemen and other anti-immigrant groups.
His reporting and commentary have appeared in the Washington Post, MSNBC.com, Salon.com, and elsewhere, and earned Neiwert the 2000 National Press Club Award for Distinguished Online Journalism.

For those casual golf fans who had no idea who Woody Austin was before this week, now you know. The emotional journeyman made a gallant run in the PGA Championship, and had a real chance to knock off the Chosen One. Alas, Tiger won again.
But for those who would like to see more of Mr. Austin, you should have a chance next month. Austin was one of the early "commitments" to play in the Turning Stone Resort Championship Sept. 20-23. Whether he keeps that pledge remains to be seen.
None of the players have to commit until the Friday before the event, and few will give their official stamp of approval until then. Why, you ask?
Well, a player's need to play can change week to week. A win changes everything. A couple good finishes can lead to qualification to play in other big tournaments, resulting in players pulling out of lesser events. Also, players want to stay sharp when they tee it up, so they seldom play more than four or five straight weeks. Some -- like Tiger -- rarely play more than two to three weeks in a row before taking a break.
As for Woody, he improved his lot a bit by jumping from 24th on the FedExCup points list to 13th with his runner-up finish in the PGA Championship. He's also Lucky 13 on the money list with nearly $2.5 million in winnings.
With five weeks to go, there are no other new commitments to the T-Stone event. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they announce a few more at Media Day on Wednesday (Aug. 15).
As for those who have already given "commitments," they are:
John Daly (sponsor invitation)
Lee Janzen (sponsor invitation)
Woody Austin
Fred Funk
Brad Faxon
Chris DiMarco
Jason Gore
Bubba Dickerson
Duffy Waldorf
Rocco Mediate
Kevin Stadler
Robert Gamez

Christian Adamek likely had no idea the pain and grief he would leave behind when he decided on Oct. 2 to take his life.
The 15-year-old Sparkman High student only knew that he was in serious trouble for running naked across the school's football field the night of Sept. 27, during a time-out in the Senators' game against the Grissom High Tigers.
Though many in the crowd that night saw the incident as no more than a teen boy's prank, there was talk of expulsion, of possible criminal charges that could include public lewdness or indecent exposure.
For a boy Christian's age, I imagine that talk seemed like the end of the world. Like his life was already over.
Maybe he panicked. Whatever the turmoil in his heart, he chose to hang himself.
Christian died the following day, of a hypoxic brain injury, according to the Madison County coroner.
[Related story: Sparkman High student facing charges for streaking at football game dead of apparent suicide]
Ordinarily, this is where I might say that I can't imagine the anguish Christian's family is going through right now. I cannot say that, however.
One of the worst moments of my life is when I got an early-morning phone call in 2006 telling me that my 25-year-old nephew, Clarence, was dead.
When my sister braced me by telling me she had some bad news, I knew immediately that someone had died. I assumed it would be my aging father, or an aunt who was battling lung cancer.
Never did I dream it would be Clarence, who, just four years younger than me, was as close to a little brother as I'd ever get. And never would I have thought that he would, during a night of heavy drinking, put a shotgun to his head and pull the trigger.
He left behind loving parents and three younger sisters, the youngest just 5 years old. The memory from his funeral that has burned itself into my consciousness is that of the youngest, Michelle, weeping inconsolably for her "Parrain Bubby." (We called him Bubby from the day his first baby sister was born, and he was also Michelle's godfather, or in Cajun French-speak, her parrain.)
I remember many phone calls with my sister, Margaret, in the months after she lost her only son. Most ended with one or both of us in tears.
I remember her joking in one phone call that she had been crying so much that, when she would start up again, Michelle would just bring her a pack of Kleenex.
The pain is still there for Margaret and her husband, her girls, and for all of us who loved Clarence. This weekend, Margaret and I were talking about Christian Adamek and she admitted that, when she saw a story about the teen's death that I'd posted on Facebook, she scrolled right past it. It was too painful for her to read.
"It's funny how the word suicide has a whole new meaning to me," Margaret said, telling me about coming across Clarence's death certificate recently while going through some papers. "The pain never goes away; it just becomes a part of you."
About teens and young adults who commit suicide, she said this: "They don't think that whatever is going on is not the end of the world."
That is one of the tragedies of suicide, which, according to statistics, is the third-leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15 and 24. The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry reports that it is the sixth-leading cause of death for children ages 5 to 14.
Yes, children as young as 5 years old are killing themselves, believing that their lives are so bad, or so out of control, that wiping themselves from the planet is their only solution. Just last month, NOLA.com reported about Brandajah Smith, 5, who shot herself in the forehead with a .38-caliber revolver in June.
Though the little girl's death was not officially ruled a suicide, the NOLA story reported that teachers at the little girl's school had heard her talk about death and heaven. They also suspected the girl had been sexually abused.
In Brandajah Smith's case, there were signs that the little girl might be in trouble. In Clarence's case, we knew he had been troubled on and off throughout his life, but did not know how close to the edge he apparently was.
As for Christian Adamek, we don't know exactly what prompted him to take his life. If it was the mistake he made at his last Sparkman football game....
"Everyone makes mistakes," Margaret said. "(You) don't let the mistakes you make define who you are."
For children like Christian and Brandajah, and young adults like Clarence, my sister has some words of advice.
"There is nothing in this world that can't be worked out and fixed," Margaret said. "Talk to your parents. If you can't talk to your parents, talk to someone you trust.
"Taking your life solves nothing; think of the loved ones you leave behind," she said. "There is so much pain."

After last week's edition of Twitter Talk, a couple people contacted me and said that they felt I was being a bit harsh and disrespectful to readers, that I was being sarcastic and taking forever to get around to answering their questions.
To that, I say, well, yes. I am guilty as charged.
So in the spirit of a kinder, gentler Twitter Talk, I will answer questions in an honest, respectful and straightforward manner this week:
@Chris_Iott whos our long reliever— RadKiller6 (@usarmy_rick) April 2, 2014
The long relief pitcher for the Tigers is Luke Putkonen.
Seriously, is that what you want? Straight answers, devoid of any personality? Because that was painful.
I tried. Can't do it. Let's go back to the old format.
@Chris_Iott if Tyler Collins plays well during Dirks' absence, is he still the odd man out when Dirks returns?— Mark McPherson (@Mark_McPherson) April 2, 2014
Well, that depends on how you define "well." If Collins is hitting .450 with eight home runs and 40 RBIs on June 1, well, he's not going anywhere. But he won't hit that well. And barring any other injuries to outfielders, he'll head to the minors to play every day when Andy Dirks is healthy. The Tigers are not going to cut Don Kelly loose to keep Collins buried on their bench. They're not.
No. But everything is awesome.
@Chris_Iott Did you star in the recent Lego Movie?— Trevin F (@MrRunnerDude) April 2, 2014
@Chris_Iott it's early but IYO, who would you bet establishes himself in the set up role? Joba? AlAl? Reed? Someone not on the roster yet?— Jonathan Morgan (@jw_morgan) April 2, 2014
The guy with the best stuff to do it is Al Alburquerque. But I expect the eighth-inning role to be in flux for some time. I am just not sure the Tigers have one guy who is going to lock that job up over the long haul. Note that the Tigers have had key innings pitched by relievers already this season and there's been no sign of Joba Chamberlain. He and Bruce Rondon were supposed to be the main contenders for that role.
@Chris_Iott What is the biggest change you have noticed with Ausmus managing versus Leyland?— Sparky (@1984_Tigers) April 2, 2014
It's a bit too early to tell, no? Of course, Leyland managed 3,497 games. But Ausmus has managed two. Still, he did remove his catcher in a tie game in the opener, which was an aggressive move. He let Max Scherzer throw 110 pitches in his first start of the season. Also, I have yet to hear him utter an f-bomb, although Ausmus did drop a "metaphorically" into a recent answer to a question from a media member. Don't remember that happening the past few years.
Really, we might need a bit more time to sort this one out. Can I ask for an extension? Thanks.
Hey @Chris_Iott , is it raining at Comerica Park?— SkitchP (@SkitchP) March 30, 2014
Not while I'm writing this. Might be when you're reading it.
@Chris_Iott to save some frustration this year, can you just tell us now which games will be delayed and for how long?— Seth LaRocque (@sethltu) March 30, 2014
All of them. Forever. Stay home.
@Chris_Iott any idea why Ausmus moved Hunter down to 5th? Is that going to be something he does throughout the year?— Brad Swadling (@bradswadling) April 2, 2014
Hunter will likely bat second against right-handers and fifth against left-handers.
@Chris_Iott do you know if the tigers plan on skipping Smyly the first time through the rotation?— Jamie Nelson (@JOwenAK) April 1, 2014
Smyly is scheduled to pitch Saturday and be skipped on the West Coast trip next week. But a postponement in the meantime -- today or Friday? -- could change all that.
@Chris_Iott Why is Dirks only on the 15-day?— Nessa (@nessamark) March 29, 2014
With Rondon and Jose Iglesias on the 60-day disabled list, there was no reason for the Tigers to place Dirks there. Putting Rondon and Iglesias there opened up two spots on the 40-man roster. One went to Tyler Collins and the other is open. The Tigers have all the roster flexibility they need right now even with Dirks on the 15-day disabled list. They could add a player right now without making a corresponding move.
@Chris_Iott Which Tiger has, in your opinion, the coolest taste in music?— Paul ozz Oslund (@MrPaulOzzOslund) April 2, 2014
Does Danny Worth count as a Tigers player? Don't care. I am counting him in response to your question. Worth has walked up to the Raconteurs, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam and Rage Against the Machine in past years. Rumor has it -- OK, Danny told me -- that he will use "Do I Wanna Know?" by the Arctic Monkeys at Triple-A Toledo this season. Anyone who uses the Arctic Monkeys as walk-up music is OK in my book.
Of course, I haven't been through the iPods of all the Tigers players. I always thought Justin Verlander had great warm-up music the past couple years -- "Till I Collapse" by Eminem -- but he changed his for the opener. Asked him about it Wednesday. He said Eminem might be back.
Whoever ran the postgame playlist after wins last season had awful taste. It was full of the vulgar but vapid pop music that seems to be popular for some reason. ("Everybody! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots!")
Seems like a good week to let the Arctic Monkeys play us out of here. If you do know "Do I Wanna Know?" then here's a great stripped-down, acoustic version of it. If you don't know "Do I Wanna Know?" then just skip ahead to the end. It's been getting a ton of run on the radio, so if you've missed it for this long there's a reason.
That's all I've got. Twitter Talk will be back next Thursday, whether you like it or not. Follow me on Twitter right here. Don't understand Twitter? It's easy. If you follow sports writers there, you can ask them questions instead of reading their stories. It's a time saver, for you at least. It's like having your own personal reporter!

Where Do Type Ia Supernovae Come From?
Ethan Siegel, ScienceBlogs
AP Photo
When it comes to stars, their fates are very well known. Every single star that's massive enough to fuse hydrogen into helium in its core will someday run out of fuel and die.
The very brightest and most massive stars — about 1-in-800 of all stars — will die in a spectacular, core-collapse supernova when their core burns fuel all the way through iron and finally runs out of room to go.
TAGGED: Supernova


text: Men's final practice done. Gachinsky hit a lot of beautiful 3A. Takahashi looked better than in his SP but then the underrotation and 2footing started. Max was good for the 1st minute but after that his jumps went MIA. Majorov was rolling and tumbling hard on his quads one almost ended in a complete split on the ice. The second group as a whole was just better by a good margin. But besides Machida all these guys quads are sketchier than inner city Detroit. I don't think besides Machida and Max any landed a clean one.

However, a perfectly delivered customer experience makes news and travels fast through social networks that matter most – the peer and friend networks where the buying decisions are increasingly influenced based on personal trust. When we recommend products to our friends and colleagues, we seldom talk about the features, functions and benefits the way many marketers have been trained.
Instead, we focus on the overall experience of buying and using the solution.
We may mention some cool features but it is the "whole" offering that causes us to advocate for a brand. In a world where unique features become commodity features overnight, and where it is really hard to differentiate based on the product uniqueness, we now need to focus our attention on WOW service. The Perfect Customer Experience will travel through personal networks faster and with more impact than almost any other marketing technique.

Welcome to 5 for Fairness! We are here to support organizations doing great work on behalf of girls around the world. If your organization is in the business of empowering girls, and you could use an unrestricted $5000 grant, we hope you'll consider asking a passionate supporter of yours to start a Team here.
All the Teams are in the running for a $5000 grant. Winning is, of course, great. But even if you don't win a grant right away, having a Team on 5 for Fairness can have other benefits.
First, our members will learn about you and, if they find themselves drawn to your work, may well be drawn to support you both within and outside of 5 for Fairness (we hope they do!). Second, and perhaps more important, having a Team is like running a focus group in front of an already interested audience. You can see how your message gets across and get a feel for how compelling your story is to this group. Additionally, you will hear the kinds of questions that potential supporters/donors may have for you. If one of our members has a question or a comment about the work you are doing and how you are doing it, I guarantee others will have that same question! And if, alas, you do not win the grant in this grant cycle, you are automatically in the running for our next grant.
We have only three rules here. 1) All Teams must support organizations that foster fairness for girls and 2)No paid staff members can start Teams and 3)We need to be able to legally give to your organization. This means, in most cases, that your organization is a- or is affiliated with - a US-based 501(c)3 that will accept a grant on your behalf.
So, what are the steps to getting a Team for your organization on 5 for Fairness?
1. Find a volunteer who is passionately committed to your organization, energetic, tenacious and familiar with basic social networking, to be your team leader. Have him or her join us here and become a voting member of 5 for Fairness by donating a minimum of $5 to our collective grant account.
2. Help your leader craft a compelling story about your group's mission and post it on your Team Page. Remind him or her to keep it brief, simple and personal.
3. Make sure to line up a few people to support your leader from the get-go. Ideally, these are also volunteers, though paid staff are welcome too.
4. Invite some of your most internet-savvy supporters to join 5 for Fairness and turn them loose. Suggest they help build your Team's membership by dropping in on other members' pages. When they do, they can leave comments asking them to take a look at your Team's page and to join in a show of their support.
5. Support your Team leader by giving him or her photographs, video and other media that tell us about your group's work and the girls you serve. Keep our group posted on what your group is up to by starting discussions on your group's page.
6. When the final voting process begins, get ready for a daunting show of competitive spirit! Keep in mind that members of your team have probably joined at least one other team as well. Drop in on their pages and ask them to cast their final vote for your group.
7. Keep a sense of humor, remember how important your program is and go for it. We're here to help, answer questions and cheer you on!
If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to send us an email at 5forFairness(AT SIGN)gmail.com
Good Luck and keep up your great work!

Today is my birthday, I get to be a princess for a day (although sadly the day is coming to an end). I made a tiara out of black 18 gauge florist's wire and aluminum roses (just search "aluminum roses" on eBay, they are really cheap). Kate who?
Princess Day
I copied the violin purse made by Lace Story. Cut out two pieces of cardboard and cover with white pleather, glue one piece to each side of a semi circle shaped purse, add accessories and handles.
Cherry Bomb
A great material for cocktail hat base or fascinator base is plastic lids for cans (Pringle can lid, small coffee can lid, etc). Simply cover the plastic lid with anything (fabric, leather, sequins, etc) and it's ready to decorate. I bought the cherry from eBay at 25 pieces for $3, they are very realistic looking.
Black Swan
I made a pair of shoulder piece from black feather pads. They are very easy to find nowadays (or buy two headbands with feather pads and take off the headband part). I used regular brooch pinbacks to secure the feathers onto clothing. The chain can be detached so they can be worn individually.

Greylock Recruiting Team Targets New Hiring Challenges
New Greylock Partners Vice President Dan Portillo witnessed the Silicon Valley hiring frenzy up close in the late 1990s when he worked as a recruiter for start-ups during the dot-com boom.
Now, the Valley is undergoing another period of skyrocketing valuations and huge funding rounds. But this time the hiring scene is a whole new ballgame.
"I started recruiting in 1999 and saw a fair amount of competition, but the competition feels different now," said Portillo, a former vice president of organizational development at Mozilla and a longtime recruiter for start-ups. "Before it was a smaller group of companies, but now employees have a lot more options for the size of company and the type of work they'd like to do."
In the last year or so, hiring the right talent–especially engineers–has become increasingly important for portfolio companies, and in some cases can mean the difference between getting venture funding and getting left out, as VentureWire previously reported. As a result, firms are putting more of an effort into helping their entrepreneurs put together the team they need to compete.
Along with Portillo, Greylock Partners has added a new partner, Jeff Markowitz, and a new recruiter, John Schmocker. The moves come as some members of Greylock's talent team move on. Greylock Recruiting Partner Mike Ahearn is retiring in 2012, the firm said, while Aki Taha, who was hired as Greylock's director of talent in late 2009, left the firm this summer to head human resources and recruiting for Dropbox.
Markowitz worked with Greylock for several years as the managing director of Heidrick & Struggles' Venture Capital Practice, he said. He will help Greylock conduct executive searches, which Ahearn also did.
Portillo will help Greylock companies find product and marketing people, engineers and recruiters. He said his role at Greylock is new. Schmocker, a former technical recruiter at Riviera Partners, is on Portillo's team and is helping to recruit engineers.
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures and Sequoia Capital all have full-time tech recruiters at their firms, VentureWire reported in July, while other firms have signed on with specialized recruiting services like VentureLoop.
In addition to helping its portfolio companies improve their recruiting skills and processes, hire recruiters and connect on LinkedIn to share ideas, Greylock is finding other creative ways to help. Portillo, for instance, trolls for potential employees on open source groups to see if any technical skills they've developed would be useful, even if the skills are not an exact match. Ruby on Rails developers, for instance, are scarce right now, but Ruby on Rails can be learned by people with the right skills, he said.
Greylock helped one of its portfolio companies, the sales site One Kings Lane, boost its acceptance rate to more than 50% by recommending the right people and helping the young company improve its recruiting methods, said Vice President of Engineering Ed Komo.
"The candidates they send over are high quality and vetted, which helps with the initial screening process," added Al Lieb, chief executive of another Greylock portolio company, sales platform start-up ClearSlide Inc. "We know (when Greylock sends someone that) they're worth taking a closer look at."

North marathon goes south
Matt Simms had no intentions of winning a marathon Sunday.
A last-minute entrant into the Whidbey Island Marathon, Simms told himself he was going to treat the annual race as a fast training run. That was before he pinned a number onto his singlet.
Racing as runner No. 226, Simms spent Sunday morning having a career race as he ran a meandering route from Coronet Bay to Coupeville along with 219 other marathoners. He spent the first 11 miles of the 26.2-mile event setting the pace for a small group running about 90 seconds behind the race leaders. As some of those leaders began to fall back, Simms surged. By mile 15, he was running past runner No. 1, Chuck Engle, the winner of the previous two Whidbey Island Marathons. And though Simms didnt believe it at the time, that was the race. By the time he finished in downtown Coupeville, he was all alone, the winner in a time of 2 hours, 48 minutes, 29 seconds. Engle, a Mississippi resident, finished 2:20 later.
Its amazing what putting a number on does for you, Simms said of his race.
A marathon and ultramarathon runner who has gained standing in the Puget Sound region over the past few years, Simms had never won a marathon until Sunday. He had placed in the top 10 twice at the Seattle Marathon and was second in the North Olympics Discovery Marathon two years ago. Leading and winning a race was entirely unexplored territory for the 36 year old.
It was a blast, he said.
Simms victory comes three weeks after he took sixth in the Chuckanut 50K in Bellingham, and the day after he ran 1.5 miles in 7 minutes, 51 seconds for his semi-annual Navy Reserve fitness test.
The marathon winner was not the only South Whidbey runner to find success in the marathon and a half marathon run the same morning as part of the road racing event. Behind Simms, three South Whidbey runners were marathon finishers. Bill Cusworth of Freeland was a top 20 finisher, taking 19th in 3:29:37. He was followed by Mike Zink of Langley in 3:43:49, and Mark Cook of Clinton in 3:44:55. No South Whidbey women ran the race. Tanja Bernson of Oak Harbor was the top island woman in the race, taking 25th behind 3:11:12 womens winner Annie Thiessen of Tacoma.
The half marathon drew a much larger crowd. Of the 794 runners who started the 13.1-mile race at Oak Harbors Hilltop Elementary School, 22 were from Freeland, Langley, and Clinton. Forty-three year-old Leon Shordon of Langley was the fleetest among them, taking fourth overall in the race behind 50-year old victor Rick Becker of Selah. Becker won the race in a time of 1:15:21. Shordons finish time was 1:20:24.
Other top South Whidbey finishers in the mens race included Frank Jacques of Langley (13th, 1:25:57), Jeff Strong (16th, 1:27:14), Bob Thome (40th, 1:35:49), and 57-year-old Frazer Mann (44th, 1:36:24).
In the womens division of the half marathon, Rachel Salzberg of Langley was the top South Whidbey finisher, taking 48th in 1:48:46. The race winner was Cindy Price of Naperville, Ill. in 1:30:20.
The Whidbey Island Marathon is a qualifier for the granddaddy of all marathons, the Boston Marathon. Qualifiers from this years race are eligible to run in the 2006 edition of the Boston race.

I wasn't expecting the best advice I ever would receive as a journalist when I interviewed Sid Dorfman in 2005. The assignment was to write a story about his 70th anniversary at The Star-Ledger, which to this 30-something sports columnist seemed impossible.
To be clear: This was not his retirement announcement. Sid was 85 when we spoke that day, but he was still active, in the operation of his high school sports bureau and with his weekly column. Dorfman, who died Saturday at 94, started his career at what was then the Morning Ledger in 1935.
We talked about that career, including his humble roots as a high school correspondent who made 10 cents a column inch. We talked about some of the more memorable things he witnessed in his journalism career, including what he called "midget races" at the Nutley velodrome.
A racer, Dorfman told me, was decapitated when his bike veered out of control and crashed into a metal fence. Some stories are best left to the witness, and this is clearly one of them. Dorfman said:
"I can still picture the head rolling down the embankment. That was the end of midget races in Nutley."
He was much more than a sportswriter, of course. He established a bureau that handled death notices and high school sports that helped turn The Star-Ledger into the state's dominant newspaper. He covered golf for years, including legends like Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus.
He was a fixture in New Jersey sports. So this was my opportunity. It was the end of a three-hour interview, and I was just getting started as a columnist. I asked Sid if he had any career advice for the new guy.
"I'm glad you asked," he said, and the pause that followed was long enough that I wondered if he, in fact, had forgotten the question.
Then he leaned forward in his desk and pointed at me with his index finger to emphasize each word.
"Simple. Declarative. Sentences."
I waited for more. I had gotten so much advice after I had started as a sports columnist, so I expected a dissertation about the state of the industry, or tips on handling interviews with prominent athletes – really, anything. But Sid just stared at me from the other side of his desk.
Then, finally, he spoke again.
"I once gave the same advice to another young sports columnist," Sid eventually said, "but he didn't listen to me."
I shook his hand and said goodbye, but those three words – "Simple. Declarative. Sentences." – stuck with me the entire drive home. In the years that followed, I had come to realize that it is the best advice I've received as a journalist, and certainly a message I've tried to pass along to young people who are getting started in the business.
Keep it simple. Keep it concise. Get out of the way and let your reporting speak for itself.
Simple. Declarative. Sentences.
But that day, in 2005, I was left wondering who that "young" columnist was, the one audacious enough not to listen to that advice. Then, on that drive home, it hit me: He was talking about Jerry Izenberg.
Jerry is now 83.
The advice? Ageless.

The full-court press for online poker has begun in earnest and there are some heavyweight alliances forming. Caesars Entertainment is aligned with 888 Holdings, and Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: WYNN ) formed an alliance with PokerStars, one of the largest online poker companies. The latter pair expressly stated that they would work to pass federal online gaming regulation.
So far MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM ) and Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS ) are sitting out, but another big dog online, Full Tilt Poker, is yet to form a similar alliance. It may be speculation, but MGM's wide range of casinos in the U.S. and on The Strip seems like a perfect fit for some sort of deal with Full Tilt Poker.
The potential is enormous
So what kind of an impact could online poker have on the value of gaming companies? The numbers get big awfully quickly. Forbes magazine estimates that Full Tilt Poker alone generated $500 million in revenue and $100 million in profit during 2010. The Financial Times estimated that in 2008 online poker revenue was $5.9 billion worldwide.
Since actual audited numbers aren't available to us, we are left to make some educated guesses at what the impact might be. I've created a table of possibilities that cover modest revenue of $500 million to a high end of $10 billion annually. And since we don't know exact margins I've estimated that EBITDA margin will fall in the range of 20% to 40%. Since there is very little depreciation in online gaming, unlike brick-and-mortar casinos, a huge chunk of revenue would flow to the bottom line.
|Revenue/EBITDA Margin
|$500 Million
|$100 Million
|$150 Million
|$200 Million
|$1 Billion
|$200 Million
|$300 Million
|$400 Million
|$3 Billion
|$600 Million
|$900 Million
|$1.2 Billion
|$10 Billion
|$2 Billion
|$3 Billion
|$4 Billion
These millions of dollars would have to be split among MGM, Wynn, Las Vegas Sands, and any multitude of online gaming companies. But the big players would catch most of the cash since poker rooms require a critical mass of customers and advertising dollars for promotion.
If we take MGM Resorts as an example and assume it can obtain a 10% market share of a $3 billion annual market at 30% margins -- that would add $90 million in EBITDA annually. I think that's a pretty conservative number and could generate more EBITDA than the terribly disappointing CityCenter.
Of the big four, I think MGM has the most upside, with Macau-based Melco Crown (Nasdaq: MPEL ) having little to no impact since it has no U.S. presence. What's an advantage in live gaming becomes a disadvantage when the game moves online.
It's unclear exactly how any regulation may play out, but the opportunity for casino giants is enormous. Stay tuned to see how this one ends.

moved from Talk:K'tah class Edit
Is this legit? I'm wary of ANON contributions like this. --Alan del Beccio 09:47, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- ...and we have K'toch class. Which is correct? --Alan del Beccio 10:00, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I'm checking on it now. --From Andoria with Love 06:30, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Got it. The script says, and I quote: "It was seven days ago... a K'toch Class vessel." You check it for yourself here. In the meantime, I'm gonna go ahead and delete this after I make sure there's no info I need to merge. --From Andoria with Love 06:39, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
The incorrect article "K'tah class" and its talk page have since been turned into a redirect, and will now be deleted. --From Andoria with Love 06:47, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)
seen before? Edit
does anyone else think the K'toch class looks a bit like the 'scout ship' from TOS: Fridays Child, at least from the original un-enhanced version of the episode? -Mithril 19:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Um, not really... --OuroborosCobra talk 19:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm wondering if this couldn't be moved back to K'toch class. It appeared onscreen and was named in production sources, so don't we accept this name like we do with, say, Livingston? Kennelly 20:59, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- This title refers to both the ship and the class-- like Goroth's starship, the other refers to just the class, and still redirects here. --Alan del Beccio 22:21, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Telegram Sports Editor—Sherbrooke, Que.
To a roaring applause of some 5,000 or so gathered at the University of Sherbrooke's football stadium, not to mention 2,100 young athletes eager to get going for medals, Prime Minister Stephen Harper officially opened the 2013 Canada Summer Games Friday night.
About 4,200 athletes from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia will be in Sherbrooke, about an hour east of Montreal, over the next two weeks competing in 20 different sports.
Flag bearer Owen Daly of swimming led the Newfoundland contingent into the stadium followed by first-week athletes in baseball, softball, women's soccer, wrestling, tennis, mountain biking, sailing, men's basketball and men's and women's volleyball.
Week 2 sports on the agenda are athletics, rowing, canoe/kayaking, cycling, women's basketball, golf, diving, men's soccer, triathlon and beach volleyball.
"The first Canada Games in 1967 were in Quebec, and it was about unity through sport," Harper said.
"After four and a half decades, sport still unites us as Canadians."
A number of well-known athletes, among them Bruny Surin, Jennifer Heil, Sylvie Bernier and Annie Pelletier, along with singer Johnny Reid, who attended Bishop's University in Sherbrooke, helped carry the Canada Games flag in to the stadium.
While they all received a nice ovation from the crowd, the biggest applause went to Colette Roy-Laroche, the mayor of nearby Lac-Magantic, site of the explosive train derailment that killed 47 people earlier this month.
Competion gets under way Saturday with Newfoundland playing P.E.I. in baseball, Manitoba and Nova Scotia in softball, Nova Scotia and Manitoba in women's volleyball, Saskatchewan in men's volleyball, tennis, sailing and mountain biking.

Belle had the weirdest illness last week. She woke up at her normal time, around 7 a.m., but said she was still tired and wanted to stay in bed. She didn't feel warm, but she was a little sweaty, like she'd just broken a fever. As I was leaving the room, her eyes were closing, and she slept until 10 a.m.
She got up and spent about an hour eating breakfast, and then she went back to bed and slept for another two hours.
When she woke up, she was absolutely fine. No symptoms -- not even a sniffle.
While she was sleeping, I was a little concerned because it was the first time she has ever done that. Usually, no matter how sick she is, she's up and playing, even if she's a bit cranky. So I did call our doctor that morning, and they said she was probably fighting a virus, and that she's at the age when kids really start noticing when they feel sick.
Of course, before calling the doctor, I did a web search for "child lethargic," and I found this useful page on Dr. Sears.
LETHARGIC Many parents call our office because their child is sick and "lethargic". It's important to understand what lethargic really means. Lethargic means that the baby or child is almost in a coma-like state. The child won't speak (except incoherent moaning), won't make eye contact with anyone, won't acknowledge that anyone else is there, won't walk or sit up, lies limp and lifeless, too sick to even fuss very much, and won't really move around. This condition means that the child is seriously ill, and you should probably take your child straight to an ER without delay.
Fortunately when parents tell us their child is lethargic, what they really mean is the child is a bit "out of it", not quite acting themselves, wants to lie low and just be held, or is fussy on and off. These situations are not really an emergency, since they are common with most illnesses. Call your doctor during business hours to see if an appointment is needed.

NEW YORK — Authorities say the girlfriend of Indiana Pacers draft pick Lance Stephenson hit her head on a concrete step when he pushed her down a flight of stairs in New York.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Monday that she was treated for head and neck injuries after a 911 call from her home in Brooklyn.
His comments came a day after Stephenson's arrest on charges of assault, reckless endangerment and menacing.
Pacers president Larry Bird says he is aware of the situation. Stephenson attorney Alberto Ebanks didn't return phone and e-mail messages.
Stephenson was one of the nation's top high school prospects. He played one season at Cincinnati before applying for early entry to the NBA draft.

ESCANABA - A study on the historical value of one block of buildings in Escanaba is done and will now be used to compliment an application seeking to list the entire downtown on the National Register of Historic Places.
On Thursday, the Escanaba City Council adopted the final report from a group of community members who photographed and researched the buildings on the 600 block of Ludington Street. The Historic District Study Committee was appointed by city council on Jan. 20, 2011, to determine the historical and architectural significance of the buildings.
After presenting a preliminary report to the planning commission and conducting public hearings, the committee submitted its final study to council which adopted the group's recommendations. Council also discharged the committee and praised the members for their work.

Karen Lindquist, at right, a member of the Historic District Study Committee, informs Escanaba City Council on the architectural and historical value of buildings on the 600 block of Ludington Street during Thursday's council meeting.
According to Peter Strom, committee chair, the group recommends the information compiled in the study be included in an application to list the whole downtown, not just the 600 block, on the National Register of Historic Places.
Earlier this year, Escanaba was named one of three cities in Michigan to receive a grant to pay the full cost to be nominated on the National Register of Historic Places. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), a division of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, is paying for technical assistance to research and write up the application to designate the entire downtown as a National Historic Place.
Following completion of the nomination application, the report will be reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Review Board. Then SHPO will submit the nomination to the National Park Service for approval.
The Historic District Study Committee initially formed to look at forming an "historic district" on the 600 block but decided to recommend the block as an area to be included in the application to list downtown as an "historic place."
Strom explained that as an historic place, property owners have no restrictions on what can be done with their buildings as they would if their property were part of an historic district. In both scenarios, owners can take advantage of federal tax credits on income-producing historic buildings.
Years ago, Hereford and Hops brewery and restaurant, located on Ludington Street, was designated as an historic building. The Lofts of Ludington was most recently designated as an historic district and used tax credits to help develop an apartment/retail complex.

Steph Bowman – Honduras
Steph was awarded a Walker Fellowship to pursue her research project on the system of institutions for homeless children in Honduras in January 2007. Steph's field research enabled her to complete her honors thesis on the workings of an NGO, Hogar de Niños Emanuel (San Pedro de Sula), and its effectiveness in meeting the children's short and long term needs. She conducted staff interviews, had conversations with the children and collected budget and logistical data. Steph was able to gain perspective on the day‐to‐day operations of the NGO and compared her findings to other analogous organizations in Honduras. Steph researched effective methods and presented solutions for the NGO regarding best practices and problem solving.
Sarah deLiefde ‐ Guatemala
Sarah was awarded a Walker Fellowship to pursue a microfinance internship with the NGO Friendship Bridge in Panajachel, Guatemala during January 2007. Friendship Bridge provides small loans to impoverished Mayan women throughout Guatemala. Sarah acted as an interpreter for prospective U.S. donors visiting Guatemala and traveled to various communities to meet the organization's clients. Sarah assisted the NGO staff in preparing for a market study on geographic expansion and then traveled to the el Quiche department to assist the staff in conducting the study. Upon returning, Sarah worked on creating a training manual for the Guatemalan loan advisors. Sarah was able to gain a solid understanding of Guatemalan culture, issues confronting Mayan women in Guatemala, and learned a significant amount on functioning of a microfinance organization. Sarah returned two years later to work for Friendship Bridge in their U.S. office. The experience also sparked her interest in the impact of violence on Maya women, which led to a senior honors thesis.
Sara Gutt – Chile
Sara was awarded a Walker Fellowship to attend Latinimmersion, a Spanish language immersion program in Santiago, Chile during January 2007. This experience allowed Sara to engage in intensive classroom study as well as the opportunity to go on educational field trips. Sara also had the opportunity to conduct interviews with Chilean reporters that survived the Pinochet dictatorship. Through this field work Sara gained unique perspective on the oppressive Pinochet regime and how this affected the Chilean media and society.
Bayley Lawrence – El Salvador
Bayley was awarded a Walker Fellowship to participate in the El Salvador Human Rights Delegation and Workshop with the Global Youth Connect during January 2007. Through the Global Youth Connect program Bayley had the opportunity to participate in talks with government representatives and local groups as well as academic discussions on the specific social, economic, and political issues confronting El Salvador today. Participants in the delegation focused on how to build a more just, equitable, and peaceful society. All sessions and workshops were conducted in Spanish, which challenged her to work on her language skills. The Walker Fellowship gave Bayley a chance to develop skills that will be directly transferable to her future plans and volunteer work.
Erendira Muñoz – Brazil
Erendira was awarded a Walker Fellowship to participate in the non-profit organization, Partners of the Americas. She worked closely with the Maine chapter of the organization, which corresponds to the city of Natal, Brazil, where she spent January teaching basic English classes to elementary school-aged children and taking Portuguese classes at a local private language school. One of her basic goals was to learn more about life in Brazil and how it "fits within the Latin-American model and spectrum." Acquiring Portuguese language skills and developing a cultural understanding of Brazil helped Erendira complete her knowledge of Latin America.
Angie Polanco – Brazil
Angie was awarded a Walker Fellowship to attend the Centro de Estudios de Língua e Cultura language program in Brazil during February 2007. She participated in the intensive program with the goal of improving her Portuguese language skills and cultural knowledge. Command of the Portuguese language will be especially useful to Angie as she pursues her career as an investment banker. In the future she hopes to use the language skills gained through this program to help her work in banking from the Latin American side of the spectrum.

The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe is sponsoring a photo contest to honor the Dungeness Watershed "as a home shared by forests, farms, fish and friends (people)" on the 25th anniversary of the Dungeness River Management Team, which has worked with the Sequim-Dungeness community to coordinate efforts and solve problems related to the watershed.
Photographers are encouraged to explore all aspects of the Dungeness watershed, the area around it, and the fish, animal and human inhabitants.
Entrants should include a description of the photo and where it was taken.
First prize is $250 cash, with gift certificates awarded for second and third places.
Photos entered may be used in publications, videos on the DRMT website and in other electronic media and on promotional products; photographers will be given credit but no payment.
To enter, e-mail photos and descriptions to Shawn Hines at firstname.lastname@example.com, by May 1.
Winners will be announced at a summer celebration at the Dungeness River Audubon Center.
