Though we're still four months away from the 2013 NFL Draft, it's never too early to discuss the Terps' NFL prospects.
Maryland's all-American defensive lineman Joe Vellano is the highest-rated prospect, earning a grade of 70 and ranked 14th at the defensive tackle position.
Of course, Vellano primarily played defensive end in 2012, though much of his success came in the year prior as a defensive tackle.
Vellano finished with a team-high 14 tackles for loss and shared the team lead with 6 sacks in 2012. He also forced a fumble and recorded 61 tackles, which ranked fourth on the team.
ESPN Scout's Inc. rated his intangibles — his family history and starring role on the Terps – as his best qualities. Scouts were also impressed with his quickness, which they believe will make him difficult to block on the next level.
Kenneth Tate
Kenneth Tate is the ninth-ranked outside linebacker, though two years ago scouts told him he was a second- to third-round selection at the safety position.
Injuries plagued all of Tate's 2011 and part of his 2012 season, yet he still managed 42 tackles, four sacks and four pass break-ups this year.
Scouts view Tate's versatility as a bonus and were impressed with his production throughout his college career. On the field, they liked his ability to defend against the run, his internal instincts and his athleticism as a defender on third-down.
Devonte Campbell
A surprise to most, Devonte Campbell is ranked as a top-10 fullback in this year's crop, after spending time at tight end for most of his Maryland career.
Campbell caught just three passes for 37 yards this season, resulting in one touchdown.
Nick Ferrara
Injuries kept placekicker/punter Nick Ferrara on the sidelines during his senior season. But Terps kickers have transitioned well to the NFL ranks.
Ferrara is Scout's Inc.'s No. 18 placekicker. In 2011, he ranked seventh in the ACC with a 39.5 yard per punt average and knocked in 12-20 field goals.
Matt Furstenburg, Demetrius Hartsfield, A.J. Francis, Kevin Dorsey, Kerry Boykins
Other draft-eligible Terps rank among the middle-of-the-pack at their position. Tight end Matt Furstenburg and linebacker Demetrius Hartsfield were among the top-30 at their respective positions.
Furstenburg finished the 2012 season with 16 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns. Hartsfield shared the team lead with 78 tackles and added 3.5 sacks.
A.J. Francis is the 38th-ranked defensive tackle. Kevin Dorsey was ranked 73rd at wide receiver, and Kerry Boykins was rankd 128th at the same position.

Robot-Assisted Prostate Surgery
Minimally Invasive Approach Reduces Pain, Speeds Recovery
Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer found in men in the United States. (Skin cancer is first.) As many as one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. A unique treatment option available at Scott & White uses state-of-the-art technology to get patients back on their feet sooner and with less pain.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a technique to remove the entire prostate gland and seminal vesicles as a treatment for prostate cancer. Scott & White uses the most technologically advanced robotic surgery platform available: the da Vinci® Si HD Surgical System, manufactured by Intuitive Surgical, Inc. The da Vinci Si provides our surgeons with superior live 3D visualization and magnification of the surgical area, plus greatly enhanced precision, dexterity and control.
One concern patients have when they consider robotic laparoscopy is that their surgery will actually be performed by a robot.
"That's not the case," explains Kristofer R. Wagner, MD, Director of Robotic Surgery. "The robotic instruments we use cannot move without our command. All actions are initiated by the surgeons, who are alongside the patient every step of the way. The beauty of this technology is that the robotic functionality is so much more precise than human movement. This helps spare the nerves needed for restoring normal functionality."
Major benefits include:
- Less pain and blood loss
- Less scarring, due to tiny
- Shorter recovery time and hospital stay
- Quicker return to daily activities
Scott & White's Experienced Surgical Team
The Scott & White team has developed a patient program to provide you with the highest quality care throughout your brief hospital stay.
Kristofer R. Wagner, MD and Patrick Lowry, MD perform the robot-assisted prostate surgery together. Both are urologists with fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery and specialty training and experience in robot-assisted surgery.

The Julian Casablancas-fronted band play the song with their digital body doubles in the music video directed by Laurent Briet.
The Strokes have just released a music video in support of their latest single "Taken for a Fool". Julian Casablancas and his bandmates are multiplying into several figures while performing in a dark fake forest which is digitally splattered with some bright and dull colors.
The band recorded "Taken for a Fool" for their fourth studio album called "Angles" which represented their "return to the basics." Bassist Nikolai Fraiture once said, "Sonically, I feel it's the album which should have been made between 'Room on Fire' [2003] and 'First Impressions of Earth' [2006]."
Two years in the making, the new effort has made its way out across the United States since March 22. Led by a retro-sounding single "Under Cover of Darkness", the album peaked at No. 4 on Billboard Hot 200.

Skip Hop Pronto Mini Changer
1 Recommendation
misonyc's recommendation
The Skip Hop Pronto is a stylish portable changing station that makes diaper changes on the go easier, cleaner, and much more hip. New moms and dads will love its extra-wide changing pad (for wiggly babies) and the comfy little pillow under the head area. The colorful laminated pad wipes clean and is also removable, allowing the kit's body to transform into an independent diaper "clutch". This highly functional unit features a mesh pocket that fits up to four large diapers, creams and other essentials; a front zipper pocket for personal items; and a translucent wipes case. Drop it in any bag, strap it to your wrist or clip it to your stroller and you're ready to go! Perfect for shopping or errands, or anytime you just need to bring along the essentials.

- The amount of hot sauce is personal of course, but I think this is just right. It's a good heat but not overpowering. No tearing or gasping will result from 8 oz.
- Yield
- 6/8 cups
- 3 small to medium size chicken breasts - boiled
- 2 8 oz blocks of room temp cream cheese (the low fat kind works just as well)
- 1 cup of Franks Original Red Hot Sauce*
- 1 cup Blue Cheese salad dressing
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (hold back a bit to garnish the dish if desired)
- Cube and slightly shred the chicken. Heat the two blocks of cream cheese in a saucepan to soften. Add the Hot Sauce and Blue Cheese and stir until blended. Add the chicken and cheddar cheese and mix well. Pour into a oven safe casserole dish and heat until bubbly (350°) - about 10/15 minutes. Enjoy with celery sticks, carrots or Corn Chip Scoops and FRIENDS!

Robert Pattinson vs. Zac Efron: You Decide!
Did Robert Pattinson destroy Zac Efron's chances of becoming Young Hollywood's reigning heartthrob? According to several experts, it just might be so.
In light of the disappointing box office draw of Efron's new high-profile movie, Charlie St. Cloud (reportedly, it's raked in a mere $23 million since its July 30 release, compared to its $44 million budget), PopEater gathered a panel of authorities and asked if the former High School Musical hunk's star has dimmed.
The consensus? Yes—and R-Pattz is largely to blame.
According to relationship expert Matt Titus, Pattinson has overpowered Efron in the teen idol department with his superior understanding of how to play the fame game:
"Robert is the new King of all the screaming girls at this moment and they have forgotten Zac. You only need to look at this year's MTV Movie Awards; when Zac entered the girls were excited but when Robert walked in the place went nuts. Twilight has changed everything and Robert Pattinson gets it. He says nothing, and acts mysteriously. This is what teenage girls really want right now."
But according to New York Times film critic Joe Neumaier, Pattinson isn't the only pretty boy cutting into Efron's percentage in the heartthrob market. The way Neumaier sees it, there's currently a glut of male celebs vying for teenage girls' hearts, and Efron has failed to adequately distance himself from the pack:
"I blame an overcrowded pin-up boy field. Yes, Rob Pattinson is in that jam-packed yearbook but so is Taylor Lautner, some Gossip Girl boys, Shia LaBeouf, the Glee guys and at least one Jonas brother. All these young dudes are now starting to cancel each other out. I think at this point, there's only so many dewy-eyed sulking guys [that] girls can keep track of."
What's your take? Has Pattinson trounced Efron, or are you firmly entrenched on Team Zac? Let us know by taking our poll below!

The End Game Is Near?
They get desperate to hold onto power. And it isn't a pretty sight to behold.
Long years of war (sounding familiar) for Rome drained it's wealth. After the prosperous years of being generous with social programs, like allowing grain subsidies to it's citizens, Rome began to "run out of other people's money". They first began to 'clip' their silver and gold coins and eventually reduced the gold and silver content. The ancient definition of 'quantitative easing'. Inflation ensued. When this was failing, the government had to do something, so it went after the wealth of it's citizens.
So forward to today. The US has announced a number of policy changes to go after wealth globally. Even our little kiwisaver schemes, when invested in US mutal funds, may be about to be hit with taxes payable in the US. Another blow for the ailing kiwisaver scheme. And don't forget the US regulations surrounding the money deposited in Swiss bank acounts by US citizens. There is no hiding anywhere and no safe harbour for wealth...more

Mom-of-two Jennifer Lopez covers the April 2012 'Shape' issue of Vogue and opens up about motherhood, disciplining her 4-year-old twins Max and Emme, and her new beau Casper Smart. J.Lo's longtime manager Benny Medina also chimes in about her much talked about love life.
On motherhood: "They do something to you where you want to do everything right for them. And obviously no parent does everything right. It's this weird thing that happens where you are striving to be as good as you can be so that they turn out well. And that requires that you be a really great, evolved, aware person in every moment. Which is pretty awesome. But it's also putting tremendous pressure on yourself—which is why women feel so guilty!"
On disciplining the twins: "By nature I am not tough, believe it or not. No. I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he's pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen. But my son will just scream and yell and run. I'm like, Aaaaah, what do I do with this?!"
On her new beau Casper Smart: "He's adorable. But you already see that. He is [sweet]. He really is. He's a good egg. I don't want to talk about it too much. It's my private thing."
Benny on her new romance: "She's not oblivious to her own reality right now, as in, Damn, I'm 42 with a 24-year-old. Why? We talked about it yesterday. She was just like, 'It's not even the age, Benny. It's actually that I just came out of a relationship where I felt like I was kind of not getting what I needed. And I'm open! So somebody who steps in right now and is actually touching me in a way—it's very fertile ground!' " He continues: "The thing that I always sort of wished is that she would give herself time to just naturally meet someone, instead of having nearly obsessive guys pursue her. The ease with which that obsession becomes a relationship I think sometimes works against her ability to have a real meaningful relationship." He adds, "And she never half does anything. When she commits to anything in her work, her life, or her relationships, she is in it. I'm not telling you anything I haven't told her. And I think to her detriment, the will of Jennifer is so strong that she believes that it can actually change who someone is and how they relate to her."

Bill and Kyle are two ordinary guys interested in the extraordinary. As 'Mandate33', they have set off in search of unusual places (inspired by Jim Brandon's seminal book Weird America) and documented them in short YouTube videos.
Above you'll find Bill and Kyle introducing themselves, as well as a couple of locations that they visited, while in the clip below they travel to Point Pleasant, home of the Mothman, on the 45th anniversary of the infamous Silver Bridge collapse. While there they interview Rush Finley, owner and proprietor of the historic Lowe Hotel, who was witness to the events of the infamous UFO flap and Mothman sightings in 1966/7...and also discover an unusual synchronicity regarding John Keel and the Silver Bridge tragedy.
Oh, and they also get far too up close and personal to the Mothman for my liking. Let's just say the famous cryptid has a butt that just won't quit...

At the time of the "mothman" I was the Science Editor of the Parkersburg Sentinel Company. The Sentinel was the daily evening newspaper for Parkersburg and wood county area. I was a part of the crew that was called in to locate submerged vehicles from the bridge collaspe. Many things were targeted as part of the "Mothman" saga of that period. A huge bird was accused of beating the roof of a car going almost 100 miles per hour, trying to get in. A strange golden globe was found that had everyone going nuts. And, of course, the famous Mothman. Well the golden globe turned out to be the shotput from a local highschool. The bird that was trying to get into a car going 100 miles per hour turned out to be simple hysteria and a loose portion of a convertible top. As for mothman, he was a part of a military exercise that went slightly off kelter. Special Ops was, at that time using West Virginia as a training ground for personal gliding warfare. West Virginia having rough terrain and sparse population at that time. A glider, code named, Black Ladies, came down where he shouldn't have. He was spotted by a group of scared residents who figgered his glider wings were some sort of beast, his head seemingly partially hidden in those wings. The pilot of this glider was wearing the old style night vision goggles which appear as dark pink or reddish in the night. Well folks we got quite a ride from all of this hoopla and the Silver Bridge falling into the river was a coincidence. The bridge was old, several bad places in it were discovered after the fact and on that near Christmas day the bridge was totally full of bumper to bumper, Christmas shopping, traffic. It was just too much weight on that old span. There you have it. Whether or not you believe it is up to you. I suppose it is more fun to believe some strange bugeyed batman is prowling the woods in southern West Virginia.

I have read several mediums who all agree that the Mothman was actually trying to warn people of the impending disaster.

Without addressing the complexities of local law, even the most resilient designs risk lingering on computer screens and drawing boards without implementation.
When we think about designing places to be more resilient, we tend to think of gritty interventions in the physical environment. But a successful resilience-focused project must also contend with another kind of environment: the legal one.
After a major natural disaster, the redevelopment process opens up what might seem like intractable legal issues, including property buy-outs, beach access, insurance policy, and cross-jurisdictional governance. As the Sandy-affected region rebuilds to better confront future storms, planners and designers need to develop systems for addressing legal infrastructure as much as the physical environment. Without doing this, designs risk lingering on computer screens and drawing boards without implementation.
Design in the physical environment involves adjusting to natural constraints and finding ways to work around them. The same can be said about the law. Any implementation proposal must take into account the legal structure that allocates decision-making power to federal, state, and local governments. All three levels of government have enacted rules that determine what can and cannot be done both along the coasts and in nearby areas subject to flooding.
This legal environment, like the natural environment, can either be accepted as the relevant context or worked around. But neither path is possible unless designers understand the legal context. Like environmental systems, law is site-specific, so regional strategies can't be addressed in sweepingly generalized legal principles. Instead, considerations must be tailored to the particularities of locations and conditions.
Within the U.S., federal laws, which are likely to be the ones most familiar to the largest audience, do have governance over water-related construction. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plays a dominant role in storm recovery and damage prevention in the United States. This agency, which employs more than 37,000 people, will be a central actor in any proposal that affects the seashore. It's not just that the USACE has many projects of its own in the Sandy region. It also regulates any construction that affects "the navigable waters of the United States." It is a criminal offense, for example, to engage in dredging activities that affect the ocean without a permit issued by the USACE. This is only the beginning of the federal role, though. More than twenty federal agencies and White House offices are members of the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force – including, for example, the Departments of Energy, Commerce, and Health and Human Services, as well the Environmental Protection Agency – and each of them is likely to be part of the process.
See full coverage
Less familiar, I suspect, are state laws. In New York, for example, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation requires permits for construction in coastal areas, and the New York Department of State must approve waterfront revitalization and buildings along the coast, while the New York State Department of Health is empowered to regulate flood mitigation efforts. The legal rules empowering these state agencies, like many federal rules, affect work done on the seashore, but could be different from other states, even those that are direct neighbors.
Then, within any state, there are patchworks of city and county laws with which designers must contend—and reconcile with existing state and federal regulations. Laws enacted by New York City will also affect any proposals that seek to deal with the resilience of existing buildings, to add requirements for new buildings, and to relocate utilities or other infrastructure (not to mention people) from the flood area as a whole. New York City regulates construction standards for new buildings, particularly within the 100-year floodplain, and New York State regulates their construction in the floodplain within neighboring jurisdictions. Moreover, any project undertaken by or requiring the approval of state or local government – whether on land or on the seashore – must prepare an environmental impact statement as required by both New York State (under the State Environmental Quality Review Act) and New York City (under New York City Environmental Quality Review). A proposed project could have negative impacts as well as positive ones.
These examples only hint at the complex regulatory structure involved in any effort to rebuild the Sandy region. But they should be enough to make clear that for design proposals—even ones that brilliantly tackle environmental challenges—to move from concept to implementation, we'll either need to work through the current regime of federal, state, and local laws, or work to modify those laws. The legal environment will determine whether implementation is even possible. And for the very real vulnerabilities that disasters like Sandy reveal, implementation must be the objective.

The Robin of 'Batman Forever' is pleased with his decision to slow down his workload because it make him able to spend more time with his family.
Chris O'Donnell decided to turn his back on his rising Hollywood career so he could concentrate on getting married and starting a family. The actor catapulted into the spotlight when he starred opposite Val Kilmer as Robin in 1995's "Batman Forever".
But O'Donnell, who was 25 at the time, decided to turn down major movie roles because he didn't want to get too famous. And he's pleased he slowed down the workload, because he has a happy marriage to his wife of 13 years, Caroline, and the pair now has five children together - 10-year-old Lily Anne, nine-year-old Christopher, six-year-old Charles, Finley, four, and two-year-old Maeve.
He says, "I was being offered these huge films that would have taken my career to a different level, and I decided to put on the brakes. I knew if I continued on that track, I probably wouldn't have gotten married."
And despite the hard work, O'Donnell is relishing his fatherhood role: "Maeve starts crying at 6.45am and (Caroline and I) start kicking each other under the sheets: 'Maeve is crying. Get her.' Or you'll do that fake pretend sleep, where as soon as the other person gets up, you'll say, 'Oh, are you going to get her? I'll stay here then. I didn't even hear her'."

For all you Battlefield fans waiting to get your hands on the next Bad Company 2 DLC, your wait is almost over. As most of you know Battllefield developers EA DICE announced last week that Bad Company 2 will be getting an online co-op campaign; known as Onslaught Mode.
Unlike Modern Warfare 2's Special Ops mode, you can have four people playing in one mission. Letting you have a complete squad and giving you a great time to hang with friends. Also unlike Modern Warfare 2's campaign you will be playing in multiplayer maps that have been redesigned.
But for the PC gamers, things are not looking quite as bright. EA DICE mentioned (the day after the announcement of the new add-on) that Onslaught mode may not be released on the PC due to problems with the servers. They followed up this statement by saying that the Onslaught mode may interfere with other servers that are hosting other game modes. Hopefully this isn't the case.
Finally a video was released today by the head developers of EA DICE, giving you a quick three-minute look of what you can expect from the new DLC.
There is no exact date to when Battlefield Bad Company 2's Onslaught Mode DLC will be available, but it's mostly likely to hit the market this june right around the launch of the second Modern Warfare 2 DLC.

For a film called Stand Up Guys, it is a wonder to me that this film was able to remain vertical for as long as it did. Not only did it fall flat in every single area where it should have situated itself more firmly but the increasingly uneven narrative caused so much confusion and frustration that any attachment to the already transparent characters was essentially impossible.
It seems like after Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys it became quite fashionable to do films about retirees getting "back into the game." Stand Up Guys is no different except that the material is not as good. Perhaps the secret is that it can't be a comedy and that there has to be some dramatic side? In any case, Val (Al Pacino) is just getting out of prison after serving 28 years. His best friend Doc (Christopher Walken) is there to pick him up. It is revealed that a) while Val was in jail, he never ratted on any of the other people who were involved in the case and b) Doc is not just there to pick him up, he is there to kill him as a result of the case that Val went in for. Val accidentally shot a Mafioso's only son. The remainder of the film involves Doc's struggle with this "responsibility," various trips to a whorehouse, a reunion with the third member of their gang, Hirsch (Alan Arkin), and assorted gun-and-violence-related examples that these AARP-card eligible ex-gangsters have still "got it."
I had some hope for the picture: Stand Up Guys started off quite well, working on the audience's eyes and ears, with some killer 70s music and some pretty beautiful cinematography by Michael Grady, also responsible for 2003's Wonderland. It even moved forward with a few decent laughs and was able to honestly articulate the sense of discomfort and awkwardness between two friends who had not seen each other in a great deal of time. Pacino and Walken are great performers and their self-consciousness at losing their youth and "virility" in a culture that focuses on that was palpable. But it was another thing to have them face each other with that in mind. Their entire friendship and life together had been built upon a seamless unending byline of masculine triumph and violence. After not having seen each other in 28 years, a good amount of that had given way to "the twilight years" and prescription medications for cataracts in Doc's case, while Val reveals that he had "gotten into gardening in the joint."
The main problem is that the film seems like a depiction of former mafia men with severe cases of OCD. The film was going in one direction, Val and Doc were out cruising the streets of Hollywood, doing what Val wanted to do the first night he got out of jail (although we, as the audience, know it was also supposed to be his last night on earth). However, after a sequence of events that basically obeys story logic, Val exits stage left and takes the film with him. A fancy car is stolen, with little to no protest from Doc, the man who has "given the life up." Val says to Doc, "Let's go." Doc asks where. Val says, "You know where." But… the film acts as if we, the audience, should also know where. Well, of course! How silly of me. They are going to grab their third pal, Hirsch. He hasn't been in any of the rest of the film up until this point and really has nothing to do with the moral struggle that Doc is dealing with in regards to shooting and killing his gangster bestie.
What the introduction of Hirsch does is simply provide an excuse to return to the whorehouse (which they had been to twice already, although Lucy Punch is truly excellent in her role as second-generation cathouse mistress, Wendy), become fixtures at the restaurant they had been at earlier, and have a raging car chase and gun battle with the owners of the car they lifted "for purposes of justice." While Alan Arkin is never bad, his character succeeds in pointing out the biggest problem in a movie that is, essentially, supposed to focus on male bonding and friendship.
This film could have explored the depths and beauty of masculine relationships but it remains at surface level. This is Stand Up Guys biggest failing. When Hirsch comes out of the whorehouse after completing one of his "life missions" of an ménage à trois, his pals ask him if he is happy and he replies "no." He says that you can't just expect him to stop mourning for his wife in an instant. Doc and Val look at Hirsch, confused. But then they simply move along. No acknowledgment. These are men who, according to the film, have been working, killing, partying together for 50+ years. Now either we are supposed to believe that they just really don't care about each other's feelings and that is the point, or it's just poorly constructed and unclear, attempting to make up for it later. Either way, it doesn't work.
From the clumsily borrowed and repeated "kick-ass/bubblegum" line to the disappointing way the film seems to try to fit far too many storylines and characters into a narrative that probably should simply have involved Val and Doc and their situation, Stand Up Guys is an unfortunate mess that has some great actors involved and fantastic music choices. Better luck next time, guys. Might want to sit down now.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I usually post on cruise critic, but found this site and thought I might be able to get some different views. My DH is for the bells and whistles, me not so much. The best ship so far for me was the Radiance RCCL and it was great, just R&R, which I like not fond of long lines to get into or see different things, so I am sure I will love Princess. I am really looking forward to MUTS, and the Plowmans lunch (I know thinking of food already)

Hi Fluffyterry, welcome to Cruise-Chat! If you enjoy Royal,I think you will have no problem with Princess at all. Princess does not have all the bells and whistles that Royal has, but they do offer a great product. They are our favorite line, so far. We've sailed on Carnival, Costa, Celebrity, HAL, RCI, NCL and Princess. Princess is just a great fit for us. Their ships are immaculate, their service is impeccable, and their food is wonderful(at least in my opinion). We've sailed on the Sea, Sun, Dawn, Caribbean, Emerald, and Royal. I have seen the Crown in port and she's a beauty. She's a little larger than the Sea, Sun, and Dawn but not as large as the Emerald. All Princess ships have the Movies Under the Stars. I believe the Crown has the Sanctuary. It's a marvelous adult area. They have a good gym, salon, barber shop, spa, sauna, fresh water pools, nice shops, good shows, casino, lounges, etc. Wish we were sailing with y'all!
Best wishes!

A man who stabbed his mother, brother and stepfather to death at their home in Sydney's west in July 2012 has been found not guilty of murder by reason of mental illness.
Carlos Lopez was also found not guilty of two counts of animal cruelty causing death, in respect of two dogs.
Mr Lopez's trial was held in the NSW Supreme Court before Justice Peter Garling without a jury.
The Crown case was that Mr Lopez, then aged 44, killed his mother, Olga Novosadek, 61, his brother, Raul Novosadek, 42, and his stepfather, Pablo Novosadek, 71, and the two Chihuahuas at their home in St Johns Park on either the evening of July 28, 2012, or in the early hours of July 29, 2012.
On Friday, Justice Garling found that Mr Lopez did fatally stab his three family members and that he did so with the intention of killing them.
But he accepted the unanimous expert opinions of Dr Richard Furst and Professor David Greenberg that at the time of the offences Mr Lopez was suffering from a schizophrenic disorder.
Justice Garling said that, on the balance of probabilities, because of the mental illness, Mr Lopez "was suffering from a defect of reason such that he did not know that what he was doing was wrong".
Mr Lopez will be detained at the psychiatric ward of the Long Bay prison hospital, or at a location specified by the Mental Health Review Tribunal, for an indefinite period.
At the Novosadeks' funeral in August 2012, the congregation was told Pablo migrated to Australia from Buenos Aires with his wife in the 1970s and loved soccer and cooking.
Mr Lopez was Mrs Novosadek's son from a previous marriage.

Diamond in the rough bluffs
DIAMOND BLUFF, Wis. - Unincorporated communities have always intrigued me. Sometimes mistaken for a old-fashioned ghost town, the non-city's mysterious components and complex characters - surviving in the smallest of numbers - gives passersby a glimpse of communal kinship.
Traveling over the Mississippi River past the bluffs of Red Wing, I cruised northbound on the Great River Road of Wisconsin Highway 35.
Limestone-lined bluffs reflecting a cloudless sky's sun captivated my photographic eye on the easy 10-minute drive to Diamond Bluff. Easily passable, the village is nestled along the river, organically co-existing with the surrounding beauty.
Crossing the railroad tracks from the sole left turn off the highway to the village, I caught sparkles from gem-like water.
Limited streets led me to the river. The real beauty and true power of the water can be experienced here from the serene calm view of the public access dock.
Tucked closely to the river's edge is Sea Wing Park. The 600 feet of shoreline once allowed ambitious residents to build three steamboats, including the doomed Sea Wing, from 1888 to 1907.
The park was created as tribute to the boat's fateful journey. Originating from a river port in the village, the final voyage of the steamboat was launched July 13, 1890, before capsizing in Lake Pepin and claiming 98 of the 215 passengers aboard.
Once flourishing with a general store, barbershop, tavern, town hall, school, post office, train depot, sawmill, grain elevator and two river ports, the now simplified community of Diamond Bluff is filled with tales of tragedies and triumphs. From the still standing town hall, to the aged cemetery and to the 1866 Methodist Church - still holding weekly services -- rich records of the past are chronicled.
As I traveled on the single street paralleling the riverbanks through twists and turns of the thick-wooded roads - nods, grins and waves from locals assured my presence was noted.
The lack of roads and looming lunchtime led to my stop at the Nauti Hawg. Plastered in memories, motorcycle and bar garb, the lone food joint for miles offers an oasis for bikers and boaters alike.
The small-town - super small-town - service is noteworthy and the menu offers an easily affordable variety of food and weekly specials.
With an estimated population pushing 500, Diamond Bluff thrives on the concept of its simple beauty, historical roots and personable community for sustaining.
Getting to know Diamond Bluff
Distance: 9.9 miles ... from the heart of Red Wing, Highway 61 and West Avenue, to the heart of Diamond Bluff - Main and Broad streets.
Place for $15 bite
Nauti Hawg Bar and Grill
With nothing on the menu over $15, a meal for two is easily manageable on a budget. From hearty chicken wraps to mouth-watering burger, the one and only eatery in the community serves the masses, especially on the weekends.
Where: W9852 290th Ave.
Hours: Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Friday 11-2:30 a.m.; Saturday 7:30-2:30 a.m.; Sunday 7:30-2 a.m.

Fun fact
Diamond Bluff has an unincorporated community of the same name within the town. A French settler, Monte Diamond, named the town after the limestone bluffs.

text: Thieves target two Alum Creek pharmacies By Travis Crum December 25, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va.-- Within the past couple of months, two pharmacies in Alum Creek have been burglarized for prescription medications.Early Monday morning, two thieves wearing masks broke into the Meds 2 Go Express Pharmacy at 762 Little Coal River Road in Alum Creek, which was closed at the time, State Police said.Storeowner Phillip Michael said the suspects forced their way into the store before setting off an alarm. The suspects emptied trashcans and then took dozens of medications off the shelf and put them into the cans before fleeing, he said. Security cameras showed the suspects wearing dark hoodies and bandanas covering their faces.The crime, which Michael called "brazen," lasted about three or four minutes. The suspects were gone before State Police troopers from Hamlin arrived.Michael said a similar theft happened at the Alum Creek Pharmacy and Dollar Store at 2162 Childress Road last month. Two suspects emptied trashcans and swiped medications in the same way. Police believe the thefts are related, he said.The thieves were targeting the family-owned pharmacies' controlled substances, of which a majority is kept locked in a safe. However, the two thieves got away with a good amount of pills, he said."Thank God no one was here when it happened," Michael said. "It sucks it happened so close to Christmas." Michael is waiting to see if the stolen medication would be covered by the store's insurance deductible.He said his Meds 2 Go Pharmacy has been in the news frequently this year after it became West Virginia's No. 1 seller of a cold medicine that's also used to manufacture methamphetamine almost overnight in October.New customers flocked to Meds 2 Go Express after the Walmart, seven miles up the road, stopped selling Sudafed, which contains a key meth-making ingredient called pseudoephedrine.Michael's pharmacy's sales jumped from 140 boxes of pseudoephedrine in August to 570 boxes last month, making Meds 2 Go Express the top seller in the state.Michael eventually made the decision to stop selling pseudoephedrine all together, costing the store thousands of dollars in sales each month."We still get phone calls for it as we speak," Michael said. "In fact I just hung up the phone with someone wanting to know if we had any."Michael said he did not want to be part of the state's meth epidemic.Reach Travis Crum at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5163.

Cheese is Hot – In More Ways Than One
Cheese nabs a spot on an unwelcome retail list
It's no secret that cheese is a white-hot fresh category in supermarkets these days. Accordingly, progressive grocers have been aggressively accelerating their better-mousetrap-building strategies in recent years to enable premium-priced specialty cheeses to fly out of the cases and front doors – preferably, of course, after they've been paid for.
Indeed, its surging popularity has brought forth a bit of unwelcome news for cheese, which has garnered a spot on the top 10 list of high-risk retail items on the theft circuit in the U.S., alongside the usual five-finger discount suspects: Tide, razor blades, baby formula and coffee (more on the full list momentarily). And though cheese might be new to the mix, retail theft has long been the bane of retailers' existence. However, as heightened interest in higher-ticket specialty products continues to intensify with consumers, organized retail crime (ORC) rings are following suit by targeting more unique, in-demand items to steal and resell for profit.
These more savvy, confident organized retail crime gangs – which steal billions of dollars worth of merchandise annually to peddle online or at physical "fences" – continue to test retailers to the core.
According to the National Retail Federation's ninth annual ORC survey released in June, 93.5 percent of retailers say they have been a victim of organized retail crime in the past year, down slightly from 96 percent in 2012. For the past three years, more than 90 percent of the retailers surveyed have admitted to being victims of ORC. Equally disturbing: eight in 10 (81.3 percent) believe that ORC activity in general in the United States has increased over the past three years.
However, thanks to more advanced methods of communication between retailers and law enforcement, awareness and collaboration between the two parties to thwart today's more sophisticated crime rings is trending at an all-time high with improved results.
To wit: In tandem with a report from the St. Paul, Minn.'s police department which found that half of all shoplifting activities in their city stems from organized crime, a first-of-its-kind ORC crime unit was recently launched to target thieves who steal everyday household items in retail outlets. The St. Paul PD established a designated team that works directly with retailers and the district attorney's office to identify and reduce the number of boosters and fencing operations in the Twin Cities area while freeing up other investigators to focus on other matters.
Meanwhile, down in Chandler, Ariz., police, with the help of Fry's Food Stores, earlier this month arrested seven people in connection with a retail theft ring that started in June. Chandler police said the suspects sought high priced merchandise from various grocery store chains throughout Chandler and Mesa.
Surveillance video inside Fry's captured groups and individuals stealing products using large bags or lining the inside of shopping carts. "They're not a typical shoplifter. They're people that have cell phones and are talking to each other and watch and take massive amounts of merchandise," Fry's Foods' Joe Kopelic was quoted as saying in a local media report.
As for a look at the top 10 highest risk retail items on the theft circuit in the U.S., PriceGunStore.com has compiled the following list:
1. Tide: As the nation's most popular and recognizable detergent selling at an average of $20 per 150-ounce bottle, Tide is also a staple in most homes across the socioeconomic spectrum, making it an ideal currency for drugs.
2. Price Guns: Recently occurring in stores across Virginia, price guns are being stolen from behind the counters for resale on the Internet. Price guns are used to take inventory and make price tags or labels for items sold within the store. The average cost of a price gun is more than $1,500 brand new, with used guns still selling for more than $800 on eBay.
3. Baby Formula: This necessity for many infants has been lifted off the shelves since it was invented. An always in-demand item, formula can be turned around for quick cash with a high resale value. Selling for between $15 and $30 in stores, formula is being resold for pennies on the dollar, and then sold again in smaller mom and pop stores for even more than bigger retailers will sell it for.
4. Cheese: As noted above, with the price of cheese rising, so is the number of retail thefts. A big story in the last year was the Illinois man who stole 21 tons of Muenster off of a truck traveling from Wisconsin. Another recent story involves two women in Oregon who stole over $600 worth of Gouda and blue cheese wheels. The cheese is being stolen for resale and the thieves are making a pretty penny. Cheese is the most stolen food in the world, with 4 percent of the cheese in more than 250,000 retail outlets in 43 stores going missing.
5. Hair: As in hair extensions, $80,000 worth of which were recently stolen from a Chicago hair salon. Further, $150,000 worth of human hair was reported stolen from a salon in Houston and $60,000 from a beauty shop in California. Real human hair extensions are going for big bucks on the streets. Priced between $50-$200 in stores and salons, real human hair extensions can go for double that on the Internet. When stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth and reselling to stylists who work out of their homes, flea markets or eBay, the profits are indeed pretty.
6. Metal Wire/Copper: Prime candidates for heists from homes, cars, streetlight poles and appliances. Copper wiring, pipes and copper-friendly appliances like air conditioning units are being stolen from homes across the country at a rapid clip. Metal rich catalytic converters in cars or aluminum streetlight poles are being cut down and sold as well. Here's why: Copper is currently the most in demand metal in the U.S. The cost of copper has risen from $3.5/pound to $4.5/pound in the last year. In the past year alone, there was more than $1 billion worth of damage done to homes, cars and other copper-laden places across the nation.
7. Razor Blades: Gillette and other name brand razors are feeling the hit of thieves across the country. Because of the high demand and popularity, razor blades are easily resold at a lower rate outside of stores. Razor cartridges are also expensive and easy to conceal.
8. Batteries: Car batteries are being stolen left and right. In Nebraska, one man had six batteries stolen out of his tractors at a cost of $750. Recently in New York, two men were using the bus depot they worked at as their own auto parts store. They stole 16 bus batteries at a cost of $140 each to sell for scrap. Vehicle batteries are the only item that will result in cash when sold for scrap. When selling copper or other metals, the seller receives a check that they must go cash, providing a paper trail. Most thieves do not want a paper trail, so stealing vehicle batteries is the best way of achieving that. Thus, retailers and suppliers would be wise to reinforce security safeguards for corporate fleets.
9. Electric Toothbrushes: Thieves are finally catching on that dental hygiene is a lucrative business. Electric toothbrushes and whitening kits go for upwards of $55 dollars a pop, making them one of the more expensive items on store shelves. Police found that more than $3.2 million worth of electric toothbrushes were sold on eBay over the last year. Through a crime ring in Florida, tens of thousands of dollars worth were sold through a single man's pawn shop.
10. Coffee: Premium coffee is hot – and pricey – and depending on the blend and growing region, specialty brews are even more expensive. International thieves are taking advantage of this phenomenon and are starting to steal coffee beans and parchments by the barrel. In Hawaii, over 2,300 pounds of parchment coffee was taken over the course of two weeks for a combined total of $21,700. Even more thefts are taking place in countries like Kenya and Ethiopia because the U.S. demand for their coffee beans drives up value, making them more appealing to thieves.
As the timeless adage says, "Desperate people do desperate things," and the rise of increasingly savvy organized retail theft rings targeting grocers these days are indeed proof positive of the same.

Jenny Oldfield's Wings of Icarus
Illustrated by Bee Willey
Children's book review by Jane Finch
Ages 4-8
A Greek Legend and the Story of a Boy Who Could Fly
This is a modern re-telling of the Greek myth about Icarus. It is divided into five chapters and printed in large print with black and white drawings.
Icarus and his father are being held prisoner on the Greek island of Crete. Icarus dreams of what life must be like beyond the island and the Aegean Sea that surrounds it.
His father, Daedalus, is an inventor and comes up with a variety of ways for them to escape the island, but each attempt fails. Then he believes he has a brilliant idea. He builds wings for his son from wax and feathers.
He builds the Wings of Icarus.
Icarus becomes very impatient. His father is trying to attach his own wings but Icarus cannot wait and soars into the sky, leaving his father behind.
His father tried to warn him not to fly too close to the sun, but Icarus is too excited and takes no notice. He is mesmerised by the sun, its light and heat, and flies closer and closer.
Soon the heat of the sun melts the wax of the wings, and Icarus falls into the sea, and drowns.
His father is distraught, and names the place where Icarus fell the Sea of Icarus.
This book is part of the White Wolves Series and is suitable for more experienced readers at Year 3 (2nd Grade) level. Books in the White Wolves series are published in consultation with the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education.
What I like about this book is the way it deals with the re-telling of this Greek myth. Many will have heard of Icarus and the way he flew too near the sun, but this book explains the story in a clear and concise way.
There is a little bit of a geography lesson here, too, explaining the location of the island of Crete. In particular, I was entranced by the fact that the Sea of Icarus actually exists and continues to hold that name today.
This would be a great discussion point for geography, looking at maps and pinpointing the island and the place where Icarus supposedly fell to his death.
The book has 44 pages of text with small illustrations, so a child needs to have a reasonable reading ability to be able to read this comfortably.
The idea of escaping becomes all consuming for Icarus, and he takes no heed of caution or advice from his father in his desperate quest to leave the island.
Wings of Icarus is published by A & C Black Publishers Limited and is part of the Myths and Legends series.

THE defeat to Leeds was probably the most encouraging loss Warrington have had for a long time.
Once again they opened the scoring, Gareth O'Brien's beautifully floated cross-field kick being plucked out of the air by Joel Monaghan in a spectacular fashion.
It is something he has done so often that it is almost no longer astounding.
Leeds have started the season with an intensity that suggests they are not relying on winning the title after finishing fifth, as they did in each of their last two title-winning seasons.
The Rhinos always looked the most likely winner of this contest, but the most pleasing thing of all about the Wire performance was how much fighting spirit they showed.
The defence was much improved, particularly the desperation close to their own line, but the long standing issue on the left side still doesn't seem to have been resolved – something Leeds exposed on a few occasions.
Grix returned and gave yet another excellent performance, proving once again that Wire are a better team with him it.
There was more 'grunt' up front than against Saints.
The most pleasing individual performance was from O'Brien, he has the look of a player who doesn't believe how good he is, hopefully with a long run in the team and more performances like this he will understand his abilities and the 'Wire halfback crisis' will be a short-lived one.
Leeds gradually scored three tries to get into a 18-6 lead with around 20 minutes left.
Three rare lapses from Wire were punished, twice by Hardaker and once by an excellent try from Briscoe who caught Wolves' defence out by coming off his wing to burst through a gap in the middle of the field and race half the length of the field to score.
Wire could've been happy with making improvements from the week before and let the last 20 minutes drift by, but instead they showed that their spirit is back close to its best by scrapping away with more excellent try-line defence.
Then scoring a second try that came when Westwood refused to be tackled, before almost pinching a draw when Myler glided through a gap and flung out a pass to O'Brien.
If they keep showing that spirit, and the desire to improve, then the wins will come soon and they will still be amongst the main title contenders, just like the two teams who have beaten them.

Nike Basketball Shoes are available for people to pick from at most stores. Many stores carry this type of shoe and brand choice. The quality brand allows for the confidence needed for long lasting wear and tear. Many people use these shoes for either style and comfort or active sports and activities. Each item is loaded with comfort features that help keep feet comfortable and protected.
A shoe that can offer its users the ability to be light may be just what is needed for an active user. When someone will be playing sports and moving around often, they may need a shoe that is not too heavy for their body. Running and walking can be tiresome after a while when the footwear is too heavy.
Breathable fabric is the best way to ensure that a foot will not get hot. People who get hot feet tend to feel uncomfortable easily. A tired person with hot feet may not be inclined to push as hard as they could at the sport they are performing. A mesh top layer of the shoe will allow the air to circulate around the feet and keep the body cool.
A close fit to the feet is what this model is known for. When a foot slides into the foot, it will instantly feel soothed by the comfort fit that is provided. The shoe will cave into the foot and help it feel snug and secure. There is no loose and bulky feel as the item truly adapts to the foot that is put inside it.
Injections may be added to the heel and toe for additional support. The injections sites allow for more toe support and an arched heel area. The added area of cushioning is great for anyone who engages in sports such as basketball. A player in this sport will need to move around quickly with fast turns and sharp stops. The right support all around the shoe is perfect for this type of activity.
Mid foot shanks can assist the foot with extra stability and support during use. There may also be a special system on the sole that is used for excellent traction control. The bottom of the sole should feature top of the line rubber with a flexible system that helps the foot grip the ground on whatever surface is available.
There are many colors and styles available for a parent and child to choose. Looking for a clever shoe may have a customer viewing its exterior appearance as well as the interior features. The shoe selection will enable both adult and child to come to a mutual choice.
Nike Basketball Shoes are available at great deals and rates. The color choices and styles will range and will appeal to the buyers who shop for them. There are styles that are great for matching to an outfit and those that are perfect for sports and active games. People who purchase quality shoes will have the ability to use them for a long time. Having a shoe that contours the foot and provides the support that is needed, will help a person feel safe and secure in their runners.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for the England Under-21 player in the January transfer window.
"If he is being talked about as a future England full-back, then you can't get him for that," said Jewell.
"I'll never stop a player going to a top club, but I will at £4m. I've had no contact with Arsenal, but he will not be going for that amount of money."
Jewell added: "Obviously, we don't want to lose any players. Leighton is a very sensible lad, and I think he is a better off here at the moment."

For the first time in three months, pending sales of previously-owned homes dropped in July, signaling yet again that the housing recovery is a long way from getting unstuck. Although pending home sales rose by 2.4 percent in June, July's 1.3-percent decrease was more than the 1 percent drop economists in a Bloomberg survey said they expected for the month.
The National Association of Realtors, or NAR, bases its index of pending home sales on signed contracts and considers an index of 100 to be a "healthy" housing market. The index now stands at 89.7, but it's still up 14.4 percent from a year ago in July.
Regionally, the South led the fall, with a 4.8-percent decline, while sales in the West actually increased by 3.6 percent. The Midwest slipped 0.8 percent.
Earlier in the month, NAR said sales of previously owned homes (tracked at closing) reached a nine-month low in July.
Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the NAR, said in a press release that the market can improve if mortgage underwriting standards are addressed. He added that, "the underlying factors for improving sales are developing, such as rising rents, record-high affordability conditions and investors buying real estate as a future inflation hedge. It is now a question of lending standards and consumers having the necessary confidence to enter the market."
In other economic news, consumer spending, which makes up two-thirds of the economy, rose by 0.8 percent in July. But with unemployment still hovering around 9 percent and a glut of foreclosed homes poised to go on the market, many analysts believe it will be years before we see a housing recovery.

Target: Teng Jiacai, Vice Minister of the China Food and Drug Administration
Goal: Applaud China for its proposed phase out of certain cosmetic animal testing, and encourage the administration to eliminate all such testing on animals.
Many cosmetic companies are against testing their products on animals. However, selling in China is a huge business opportunity for most cosmetic companies, and the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) currently requires that all imported cosmetics be tested on animals. In order to penetrate this booming cosmetic industry, companies are left with a moral decision of whether or not to allow their products to be tested on animals. Hope is on the horizon for these companies, though: China has released information about a proposal to phase out of animal testing.
The proposal is currently focused on 'non-special use' cosmetics, which include shampoos and fragrances; it will come into effect on June 1st, 2014. This initial proposal by the CFDA is a positive first step in the movement to ban animal testing in China.
There are many countries and individual companies that frown upon animal testing. This moral stance will surely hurt China, and its future cosmetic exports and imports, if the country does not phase out of animal testing completely. Using animals as a means to our own end will not be the norm forever. China is currently on the right path with this recent proposal. Let the China Food and Drug Administration know that you support this proposal, and encourage the administration to phase out of animal testing completely in a timely manner.
Dear Teng Jiacai, China's Food and Drug Administration's Vice Minister,
I am writing to commend your administration's decision to stop testing 'non-special use' cosmetics on animals. This is a promising first step in banning cosmetic animal testing altogether. Many organizations, such as the Humane Society International, are positive that your organization will soon ban cosmetic testing of all sorts, including imported cosmetics. I believe that banning all animal testing is a progressive and moral final objective for the CFDA.
I applaud the proposal to ban certain cosmetic tests on animals. There are many cosmetic companies that are strongly against animal testing, though they desire to break into the Chinese market. Many of these companies struggle with the moral decision of whether to test on animals in order to sell their product in China. I urge you and your administration to strongly consider abandoning the mandatory animal testing of imported cosmetics.
