About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
By day there is little by way of serious enrichment lectures. But there is Bridge, Bingo, trivia games, Sudoku, cooking demos, movies and mixology classes. Poolside bands add a festive air on sea days and sailaways.
Throughout the day and evening, The New York Times-sponsored Explorations Cafe is an active hub. It holds over 2,000 books (fiction, literature, travel, history,
Harry Potter
), plus a host of periodicals and a DVD library (complimentary for passengers in Deluxe Verandah Suites; modest charge for others). There are touch-screen interactive maps, write-on/wipe-off crossword puzzle tables, and a cubby of games and puzzles. There is an adjacent card room and several computer/Internet stations. (It's $.75 per minute to surf the Web; plans are available that bring the cost down to $.40 a minute.) Or you can sit for a few minutes in a reproduction Eames chair and try the music listening stations, poking around to test its range: Prokofiev? There. REM? Got it. Soundtrack from Chicago? Check. Barney the Purple Dinosaur? Yep.
Maasdam offers offers the Microsoft Digital Workshops, complimentary classes led by Microsoft-trained "techsperts." Passengers can learn to use computers to enhance photos (Windows Live Photo Gallery), produce and publish videos onto a DVD (Windows Movie Maker) and create personal webpages or blogs (Windows Live Services and Windows Live Writer). In addition, one-on-one coaching, called "Techspert Time," is available for more than 20 hours each week.
Maasdam's shore excursions cover a range of options. Depending on where the ship is sailing, look for a mix of historic tours, beach-focused excursions, moderately active eco-adventures and sightseeing trips.
One of the major updates during the dry dock was the removal of the Piano bar and the Casino bar (with its TV's tuned to sports). The resulting space was re-structured to form the chi-chi Mix Lounge -- three adjacent bars, with no walls between them. One of the bars serves only champagne, one only serves martinis, the third serves only beers and top-shelf liquor. A solo musician, singer or small combo performs during evening hours in Mix, where the table tops can be used for interactive games or to signal the waiter for another round.
Then there is the scene at the Crow's Nest (Deck 12), the ship's modish disco, with loud music and louder lighting effects and even louder curvy hot pink sofas, a DJ, electric slides and trivia contests. But the dance floor can be mainly populated by off-duty staff members: pretty spa ladies and cast members from the musical revue. (Scene-watching of a different sort takes place in Crow's Nest during the mornings and afternoons, when it's a spectacular perch for ocean viewing.)
Ah, the shows. Yes, there are the standard cruise ship musical extravaganzas, magic shows and comedians. These take place in the main show room where the seating has been changed (as part of the 2011 dry-dock) to provide better sight lines; the room is now named the Showroom at Sea. It is done up in Delft tiles, brass and Mahogany, metallic fabric wall covering, ship-print carpeting, and settees and sofas in lieu of standard auditorium seating. Shows occur twice nightly to accommodate both early and late diners.
Fitness and Recreation
The fitness center is open daily from morning to night and has a range of equipment and activities -- from Pilates to weight machines and the various climbing and biking simulators -- all with views on the sea. Maasdam has two modestly sized pools: a saltwater pool on the Neptune Deck (10) and the fresh water Lido Pool with its sculptural trio of dolphins. The Lido pool is flanked by two hot tubs and can be sheltered by a retractable cover to keep rain and/or intense sun rays out. On the "Sports Deck" (12), there's a serviceable basketball court, tennis and shuffleboard. There is a quarter-mile walking/jogging course on the Promenade Deck (6). (Note: Lanai Cabin windows on the Promenade Deck have been outfitted with a reflective film to prevent peeking in.)
The Greenhouse Spa & Salon -- colorful and sensual -- looks inviting, and the menu of services is enticing: the "Alpha Massage Capsule Destress Package", "Nurturing Relaxation Ceremony", "Exotic Coconut Rub" and "Lime & Ginger Salt Glow". There are several varieties of massage (plan on dropping at least $100), as well as more proletariat salon rituals such as haircuts and polish changes. There's complimentary fruit and herbal tea, as well as robes and spa sandals. Some treatments come with complimentary access to the Thermal Suite, a quiet blue and yellow tiled oasis with saunas, whirlpools, aromatherapy showers and heated tile lounges. For everyone else, the Thermal Spa can be accessed for $40 a day, or $150 for a seven-night cruise.
Maasdam's Club HAL facility is clearly an after thought, compact and low slung. It operates on at-sea days and on a limited basis (pre-registration required) during port days, and in the evenings from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. Kids can stay for "After Hours" activities until as late as midnight, with an hourly charge after 9:30 p.m. Programs are geared to Kids (ages 3 - 7), Tweens (8 - 12), and Teens (13 - 17). There's a sign-in/sign-out sheet and "password" system for pick-up for the youngest group, but Tweens and Teens come and go as they please.
Club HAL's programming is modest. It tends to skew more toward easy entertainment (PlayStation, Disney movies, coloring, ice cream) than truly imaginative or enriching activities. And more than once during my cruise, descriptions exceeded the delivery: An "Alien Night" failed to produce much that related to aliens. And a "Pajama Party" didn't deliver on the advertised "ultimate pillow fight" until one mom urged the staff to make good on the promo copy.
Club HAL features a windowless room with six or so PlayStation systems, usually occupied by zoned-out boys whose only sign of life is their moving thumbs. A teen corner is little more than a corner, but a small often gathers there nightly for music videos, UNO and, probably, nascent flirting.
Private babysitting can be arranged through the front desk. In the late-night program at Club HAL, from 10 p.m. til 1 a.m., it is $5 per child, per hour. If there is sufficient staff available who want to babysit away from the Club, its $10 per hour for the first child, then $7 per hour for each additional child.
Editor's Note:
All children on under age 12 are required to wear a special band on their wrists or ankles that identifies their designated lifeboat station.
Fellow Passengers
While Holland America is working to move beyond its reputation as a seniors' line, and Maasdam is one of the fleet's designated family friendly vessels, the average age on the cruise line's 15 vessels is about 57. Shorter itineraries and cruises during school holiday periods tend to attract a higher percentage of younger passengers and families. On Maasdam's non-summer and longer sailings, expect a more typical Holland America devotee -- a more senior crowd that appreciates the line's nod toward cruise traditions.
HAL has a reputation for relatively spacious cabins, and Maasdam bears this out. There are efficiently arranged and relatively spacious standard cabins at 197 square feet (outside) and 182 square feet (inside). For a touch more space, a typical Verandah Suite (292 square feet) is plenty roomy for a family of three, with ample closet space. Closets hold extra blankets, some wood and a few satin-wrapped hangers, and a personal safe (along with life jackets).
The Deluxe Verandah Suites clock in at 556 square feet. And then there's the ultra-deluxe Penthouse Verandah Suite, at 1,159 square feet. A half dozen cabins can accommodate passengers with disabilities.
While the spring 2011 multi-week drydock updates included new carpeting, premium Sealy mattresses, bed linens, towels, and new vanities and cabinets in the bathrooms for all cabins, HAL also created two new kinds of cabins on the Maasdam:
Sixteen cabins -- in the previous Verandah Suite, Outside and Inside categories and located near the Greenhouse Spa -- were converted into Spa Staterooms. Touches include a yoga mat, a small, trickling water fountain on the counter near the bed, special room-service menus and even up-market bathrobes.
And 29 197-square-foot Lanai cabins were added to Maasdam during the re-fit. These cabins are on the Lower Promenade deck and feature sliding glass doors onto that (public) round-the-ship walkway. (The doors feature a mirrored coating that preserves the cabins' privacy.) Deck chairs outside these cabins are reserved for their occupants.
Cabin decor throughout the ship is understated: framed nautical maps, light wood and neutral color schemes, variable lighting. Inside cabins have a trompe l'oeil lighting effect -- a light behind a curtain where there might otherwise be a window -- a nice try.
Beds in non-suite accommodations configure to two twins or one queen. Suites have king beds and a convertible sofa bed that makes a comfortable additional single. There are DVD players and flat-screen televisions running movies, vintage sitcoms (Green Acres, Gilligan's Island), documentaries, navigational stats and endless re-runs of shows of the cruise ship videos.
In-room fridges are filled with a variety of beverages -- you take it, you buy it. Alas, the complimentary in-cabin fruit basket has given way to a card on which to mark your order for the fruit you might like to have.
Verandahs have a padded chaise, a faux rattan chair, and a table just large enough for a drink or a magazine, but probably not both. Deluxe Verandah Suites on Deck 10 have double-wide verandahs (two chaise lounges plus a table with four chairs), and the rooms themselves feature modern curved sofas, glass-topped coffee tables, a bathroom with a separate vanity area, granite bars and marble floors. Guests in Deluxe Verandah Suites and the Penthouse Suite enjoy use of the exclusive Neptune Lounge, featuring a coffee/cappuccino machine and cold beverages, hors d'oeuvres and sweets throughout the day, as well as wing chairs, a substantial table for dining or game playing, a large fresh flower arrangement, and its own library of premium art.
Bathrooms in all cabins have tubs with showers, except inside cabins, which have showers only. Toiletries include shampoo, conditioner, two kinds of soap, shower gel and body lotion. The brand is "Elementi," the same citrusy/herbal line used in the ship's spa. There are retractable clotheslines in the bathtubs (handy for drying swimsuits) and in-bathroom hair dryer, plus a second hair dryer near the desk/vanity in the suites.
Dry cleaning and laundry service are available for a fee (complimentary for guests in Deluxe Verandah Suites), and there are two onboard laundry facilities (with irons/ironing boards) if you decide you need to do a small load or two to get you through.
Holland America Line automatically adds $11.50 per person, per day, to onboard accounts; this is then shared among waiters, stewards and other service personnel. That amount can be adjusted in either direction by visiting the front desk. A 15 percent gratuity is tacked on to bar bills. Note that gratuities are not automatically included on bills for spa treatments.
With its mid-sized capacity and classic styling, Holland America's stately Maasdam is a manageable and pleasant ship. After eighteen years in service, it has succeeded in retaining its youth -- with a major sweep of contemporary updates in both 2006 and the spring of 2011 -- but has resisted the impulse to act like a teenager. As such, the 1,258-passenger Maasdam has retained some of the traditional sensibilities that appeal to its older audience base -- high tea, formal nights, ballroom dancing and displays of antiques -- while adding elements to appeal to younger audiences. Such newer features include two contemporary alternative restaurants, wireless hotspots, three new hip specialty bars and an iPod tour of the aforementioned antiques.
Indeed, there are some who say hats off to Maasdam for resisting some of the more radical trends of the behemoth ships (no surfing wave simulators or rock-climbing walls here), while stepping ahead on other fronts. Case in point is the ship's state-of-the-art, New York Times-branded Explorations Cafe, a combination library and digital fun room for the over 50 set (think touch-screen interactive maps, over-sized crossword puzzles).
Its latest refurbishment, in April 2011, was part of HAL's $560 million Signature of Excellence initiative focused on modernizing its oldest ships. Along with new carpets, upholstery and soft goods, Maasdam gained three major features: a dinner-only Italian restaurant, two new kinds of cabins, and the Mix Lounge, a three-in-one bar central with each venue offering a specific type of drink and each flowing into the others. The new additions -- especially the alternative restaurant and bar area -- help up Maasdam's "hip factor" without detracting from any of the ship's classic charm.
Public Rooms
The ship's size and layout make for easy orientation. Basically, the ship is anchored at one end by the two-level Rotterdam Dining Room and at the other by the two-story Showroom at Sea, with most public facilities grouped mainly in the middle on Decks 6, 7, and 8. Lido Deck is 11, with the gym, spa, kids club and sports deck topping out on 11 and 12.
There are plenty of spaces on the decks to lounge, read or rest, both in more populated zones (near the pools) and also off the beaten path. For a little privacy, check Deck 9 aft, where it is possible to be alone. Other passengers -- readers, snoozers, and snoozers pretending to be readers -- prefer the teak lounges around the Promenade deck, all facing the sea, which can be equally quiet.
Maasdam's public spaces showcase a collection art and antiques that reflect HAL's Dutch seafaring lineage -- a 19th-century wooden sculpture of a yawner (Gaaper, in Dutch), a gilded side table from 18th-century Italy, a canon barrel from the 14th century. But one of Maasdam's most notable art pieces is quite contemporary -- the towering glass sculpture by Luciano Vistosi that rises three levels from the Atrium, providing a dramatic visual axis for the public spaces.
Dress Code
Two nights in seven are designated as formal nights in the dining room. For the majority of men, this translates as dark suits (there are some tuxes), and for women, the range was from the little black dress to larger, longer, more colorful affairs.
Editor's Note:
You can order "formal night" options from the ship in advance, or even buy them from the shops. (They're cheaply made "mother of the bride" looks, but they'll do in a pinch.)
Dress codes apply to kids, too. On formal nights, the girls were adorable in their "fancy" dresses; most boys wore, if not suits, than at least shirts with ties. The rest of the evenings are "smart casual," that conundrum of a description that tends to create more questions than answers but in general means slacks or skirts for women and khakis and polo shirts or button-downs for men. Jeans, tank tops and pool attire are discouraged from public areas.

American Art Architectural Elements from the Ezekiel Hersey Derby House, Salem, Massachusetts Made in Salem, Massachusetts, United States, North and Central Americac. 1800 House designed by Charles Bulfinch, American, 1763 - 1844. Archway carved by Samuel McIntire, American, 1757 - 1811. Ornamental woodwork, plaster frieze, and ceiling medallion * Gallery 289, American Art, second floor 1926-22-1,1927-65-1 Purchased with funds contributed by George Horace Lorimer, 1926 & 1927 |
LabelThe architecture and decoration of this room reflect the new interest in the classical age that was kindled by archaeological discoveries in Italy, Greece, and Egypt during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Forms and motifs from ancient art provided the inspiration for the Neoclassical style, which was introduced in England by designer Robert Adam (Scottish, 1728-1792). This new style was characterized by a fondness for simple geometric forms, restrained use of antique ornament, and flat, linear decoration. After the American Revolution, Elias Hasket Derby of Salem, Massachusetts, pioneered trade between the city's merchant-shipowners and Asia. The resulting fortunes made Salem the richest city in New England and a center for the building of opulent mansions in the fashionable Neoclassical style. In about 1800, Elias Derby's son, Ezekiel Hersey Derby, built one such mansion, which was adorned with the ornamental woodwork, plaster frieze, and ceiling medallion now installed here. The handsome three-story, four-bay house was designed by Boston architect Charles Bulfinch. Two-story-high Ionic pilasters decorated the exterior in direct imitation of Robert Adam's design for the Williams-Wynn house in London.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

Workers combing through the charred wreckage of Kiss nightclub in southern Brazil on Sunday encountered the eerie sound of ringing cell phones.
Glauber Fernandes, a reporter from CNN affiliate Band News, explains.
"It was a really complicated scene. A lot of smoke, a lot of shoes that was left, cell phones, because everybody tried to get out of there running," he said. "While we were there, we saw the cell phones were ringing. It was parents, friends, trying to know about what was happening and nobody was answering."
A fire swept through the packed, popular nightclub in Santa Maria early Sunday, killing at least 233 people -- enough to fill a large plane -- Brazilian Health Minister Alexandro Padilha told reporters. Of those, 185 have been identified so far.
Many apparently died from smoke inhalation. Others were trampled in the rush for the exits, one security guard told Band News.
More than 90 people were hospitalized, Padilha said, including 14 patients with severe burns.
About 2,000 people were inside the club when the fire broke out -- double the maximum capacity of 1,000, said Guido de Melo, a state fire official.
Investigators have received preliminary information that security guards stopped people from exiting the club, he told Globo TV.
"People who were inside the facility informed us ... that security guards blocked the exit to prevent people there from leaving, and that's when the crowd starting panicking, and the tragedy grew worse," he said.
The fire started "from out of nowhere" on a stage at the club and quickly spread to the ceiling, witness Jairo Vieira told Band News.
"People started running," survivor Luana Santos Silva told Globo TV. "I fell on the floor."
There was a pyrotechnics show going on inside the club when the fire started. Authorities stopped short of blaming it for the blaze, saying the cause was still under investigation.
The Kiss nightclub is popular with young people in Santa Maria, which is home to a number of universities and colleges, including the Federal University of Santa Maria. At least 80 of those killed Sunday were students at that school, it said.
The blaze broke out during a weekend when students were celebrating the end of summer. Many universities are set to resume classes on Monday.
Video from the scene showed firefighters shooting streams of water at the club and shirtless men trying to break down a wall with axes.
Smoke billowed outside the front of the building as the stench of fire filled the air, said Max Muller, who was riding by on his motorbike when he saw the blaze.
Muller recorded video of a chaotic scene outside the club, which showed emergency crews tending to victims and dazed clubgoers standing in the street. Bodies lay on the ground beside ambulances.
Friends who were inside the club told him that many struggled to find the exits in the dark. Muller, who was not inside the club Sunday morning but has been there twice before, said there were no exit signs over the doors. It is rare to see such signs in Brazilian clubs.
Valderci Oliveira, a state lawmaker, told Band News that he saw piles of bodies in the club's bathroom when he arrived at the scene hours after the blaze. It looked "like a war zone," he said.
Police told Band News that 90% of the victims were found in that part of the club.
The roof collapsed in several parts of the building, trapping many inside, said Fernandes, the reporter from Band News.
For others, escaping was complicated by the fact that guards initially stopped people from leaving, he said, echoing comments from the state fire official.
"Some guards thought at first that it was a fight, a huge fight that happened inside the club and closed the doors so that the people could not leave without paying their bills from the club," Fernandes said.
The deadly fire is sure to shine a spotlight on safety in Brazil, which is set to host the World Cup next year and the Olympics in 2016.
Many wept as they searched for information outside a local gymnasium where bodies were taken for identification later Sunday. Inside, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff met with family members and friends as they waited on bleachers for word of their loved ones.

In the 1950s, a South African chemist, Graham Wulff, began working on his own skin cream, looking for a solution for his wife Dinah. The ordinary skin care products available to women at that time were incredibly heavy and left the skin feeling greasy after application. Working with Dinah, Graham perfected a lightweight, silky moisturizer with a pleasing, feminine fragrance. By 1959, Graham was marketing his formula not only in South Africa, but also in the United States and Europe, marking the start of the Olay skin care brand.
Today, Olay skin care products remain a favorite among women around the globe. The collection has expanded from the original moisturizer to a full collection of skin care formulas, including cleansers, exfoliators and treatment products. With four highly effective lines, the collection offers something for every skin care need. The brand has a strict quality policy and conducts more than 400,000 quality tests on its products per year, ensuring their purity and safety. If you're looking for affordable solutions to your biggest skin care woes, the Olay collection is the answer.

With highly effective formulas available for low prices, the Olay skin care collection makes beautiful, healthy skin a possibility for every woman.
The Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum - Fragrance Free is a treatment formula that is gentle on the skin, yet tough on signs of aging. An amino acid-peptide complex present in the formula stimulates cellular rejuvenation, supporting collagen production to restore skin elasticity and strength. The daily treatment softens the skin with its lightweight, fragrance-free formula and, over time, reduces the depth of fine lines and wrinkles, making them less noticeable.
The Olay Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex is an affordable eye treatment that was developed and tested by skin care professionals. The clinical-strength formula uses Pal-KT and Pal-KTTKS to address many of the skin care issues that are common in the eye area. The proprietary ingredients help to thicken the delicate skin in the eye area while filling in crow's feet. Vitamin B3 is added to the formula to treat dark under eye circles and alleviate puffiness.
The Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System is a rotating brush that gently lifts away dead skin, oil and makeup residue. The battery-operated brush is 6 times more effective at cleansing the skin than using your hands or a washcloth. Water-resistant so that it can be used in the shower, the brush comes in a starter kit along with a sample size of the Olay Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser. Olay Pro-X Replacement Brush Heads are available for purchase.

Spending cuts cutting into Obama's numbers?
President's approval rating appears to be edging down
President Barack Obama's approval rating appears to be edging down.
A new CNN Poll of Polls, which averages the most recent non-partisan, live operator, national surveys on the president's approval rating, puts Obama's approval at 48 percent approval, with 45 percent saying they disapprove of the job he's doing in the White House. That 48 percent approval rating is down four points from a CNN Polls of Polls from mid-February which had the president at 52 percent.
But even while the president's approval appears to be dipping, his numbers are still way above where Congress, and the Republican Party, are registering in the minds of Americans.
The new average of the president's approval rating comes as another national poll indicates a decline in Obama's advantage over Republicans in Congress when it comes to who's to blame for the failure to avert the forced federal spending cuts. And according to that survey, by CBS News, a majority now say they will be affected by the cuts, known inside the Beltway as the sequester.
"Washington sure isn't making it easier," the president said Friday, speaking to reporters hours before the forced spending cuts started to take effect. And the new polling suggests that Americans agree and are taking some of their frustrations out on the president.
The new CNN Polls of Polls, compiled and released Tuesday, is an average of three surveys conducted in the last week and a half, leading up to and just after the start of the forced spending cuts. During this period there was an explosion of news regarding the forced spending cuts. The surveys included in the average are Gallup daily tracking poll (March 2-4); Fox News (Feb. 25-27) and NBC News/Wall Street Journal (Feb. 21-24).
The CNN Poll of Polls from mid-February came during a period when there were less headlines regarding the forced spending cuts. The poll averaged four mostly different surveys: Gallup daily tracking poll (Feb. 17-20); Bloomberg (Feb. 15-18); Pew Research/USA Today (Feb. 13-18); and American Research Group (Feb. 17-20).
So why the drop?
It appears to be mostly from Gallup's Daily Tracking Poll, which had the president at or slightly above 50 percent from mid-January until this past weekend, when his numbers dropped four points in one day (right as the force spending cuts took affect). Gallup's latest number has the president's approval rating slightly rebounding to 49 percent. The new CNN Poll of Poll average also includes Fox News (46 percent) and NBC/WSJ (50 percent). The previous CNN Poll of Polls from mid-February included earlier surveys which mostly had the president at or above 50 percent: Bloomberg (55 percent); Pew/USA Today (51 percent); Gallup Daily Tracking (51 percent) and ARG (49 percent).
"A few days ago, the Gallup tracking poll dropped four points overnight, and now is up three points in a single day. It's possible that this is due to dramatic fluctuations in public opinion, but it's more likely that it's the result of an inherent problem with all tracking polls," said CNN polling director Keating Holland.
"A close reading of the numbers suggests that Gallup got an extremely low number for Obama on March 1 that was extremely different than the one-night results on every other day of the week. If we ignore the three-day averages that include March 1, we see Obama at 51 percent late last week and at 49 percent now -- fairly stable results that suggest a small decline rather than the nosedive that appeared to be in progress only a day ago. This is a good indication of the pitfalls inherent in any tracking poll methodology."
The approval rating numbers came up in Tuesday's press briefing at the White House, with Press Secretary Jay Carney warning of "the folly of chasing one poll's results and making grand conclusions about it."
Besides the president's approval rating, the new CBS survey has an interesting finding on the blame game over the forced spending cuts. According to the poll, 38 percent said they would place more blame on the GOP in Congress over the failure to avert the cuts, with 33 percent saying they'd point more fingers at the president and Democrats in Congress, and nearly one in five saying both sides deserve equal blame. The president's five point advantage over congressional Republicans on the blame game is down from a 13-point advantage he held in a Pew Research Center/Washington Post survey conducted late last month.
The new CBS poll also indicates that a majority (53 percent) say they'll be affected by the forced spending cuts. That level is higher than in previous surveys from other organizations.
While the president's poll numbers are edging down, he would still have a long way to go to be in the company of Congress. The approval rating for Congress was in the midteens in national surveys from Gallup, CBS, and Fox conducted last month. And the approval ratings for Republicans in Congress are about 10-15 points lower than their Democratic counterparts.
And a recent Pew Research Center poll indicated that a majority of Americans said the GOP was out of touch and too extreme in its positions.

Defendant pleads guilty after two-day trial in Hugo |
Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:09 | |||
HUGO –– A two-day trial concluded Tuesday after the defendant changed his plea from not guilty to guilty in the matter of State vs. James Kevin Lindamood. According to reports from the District Attorney's office, Lindamood, represented by Julie Ball, was originally facing three counts, but entered a blind plea to maintaining a place for keeping or selling controlled substances and failure to register as a sex offender. Once assistant District Attorney Bill Baze announced the resting of the state, Lindamood entered a guilty plea to the remaining count of manufacturing of methamphetamine within 2,000 feet of a school, reports stated. A judge will determine the sentencing for Lindamood on July 10. According to Baze, Lindamood faces a minimum sentence of 21 years, up to a maximum of life. "We would just like to express our gratitude to the jury for their services regarding this case," Baze said.

PITTSFIELD -- Say good-bye to Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, and Wonder Bread -- at least for now.
Hostess Brands Inc., which makes all of those iconic products, announced Friday that it's planning to cease operations and sell its assets because of a nationwide bakers union strike that it claims crippled the company's ability to produce and deliver products to multiple sites.
The Texas-based company, founded in 1930, but with a roster of brands that dates back as far as 1888, filed a motion to liquidate Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Hostess plans to lay off most of its 18,500 workers nationwide, and focus on selling its brands to the highest bidders, which means it's possible that Twinkies will be back on shelves again at some point.
Hostess employs drivers, mechanics, and thrift store employees, among others. It was unclear on Friday how the layoffs would affect Berkshire County's workforce. The county's lone Hostess outlet on Dalton Avenue in Pittsfield, closed around two years ago.
The nearest Hostess outlets to the Berkshires are currently located in Springfield; Brattleboro, Vt.; and Watervliet, N.Y., according to the company's website.
But losing the Hostess brands, even temporarily, is another story.
Joanne Langton, the owner of Joanne's Luncheonette on Elm Street, referred to the news as "very stressful" because she has used Wonder Bread ever since opening 38 years ago.
"That was my bread," Langton said. "I always used it.
Pete Powers of Pittsfield said he hasn't eaten Twinkies in many years, but wondered how the loss of the popular snacks would affect the younger members of his family.
"I have two little granddaughters," said Powers, after shopping at the Price Chopper Supermarket in Lenox. "I'm wondering if they've ever experienced them."
Kathy Hazelett of Pittsfield referred to Twinkies as "part of our heritage."
"Everybody loves Twinkies," Hazelett said. "Hostess Sno Balls were my favorite. I guess I'm going to have to stock up on them before they go off the shelves."
"I think it's a shame," said Dick Radcliffe of Castleton, N.Y., after shopping at the Big Y on West Street. "Lots of guys used to put them in their lunch [boxes] when I worked."
Hostess had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January, which was the company's second trip through bankruptcy court in less than three years.
Unlike many of its competitors, Hostess was also dealing with high pension, wage and medical costs that were related to its unionized workforce.
Donna Fredsall of Sandisfield, who owned a small business with her husband that recently closed after 24 years, said she felt sorry for the workers who would be losing their jobs.
"It's a total shame," she said. "I feel so sorry for all the people who are losing everything."
Michael Gomez, 12, of Charlestown, R.I., said he prefers Hostess donuts to Twinkies, but has several friends who eat the popular cream-filled treat.
"I think people will get a lot thinner," he said.
Bryce Remillard of Pittsfield, also 12, was surprised when she heard Twinkies may not be on store shelves anymore.
"They're good," Remillard said. "It's sad."
Material from The Associated Press was also used in this report.

Paddle Boarding
Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) began in the 1960s and has recently become very popular. Surfers use stand up paddleboards for training, photographers use SUPs to position themselves for great pictures, and others use SUPs for recreation and sport. Its popularity is most likely attributed to how easy it is to learn and get started since beginners can become comfortable and confident in under an hour of training and practice. Stand up paddle boarding is also incredibly popular with women. Some surfers have even switched to stand up paddle boards because it allows them to get into position to catch waves much faster.
Kite-Line carries all the latest and greatest stand up paddle board products including paddleboards, paddles, accessories and DVDs from the top brands in the industry.

Modern therapies deal with increasingly complex technical equipment and require a deep understanding of biophysical processes in order to design effective treatments. A detailed and precise prediction of the effects of changing therapy parameters is often far beyond the skills even of experienced physicians. Mathematical models help to understand, predict, and design such treatments.
- modeling to translate medical problems into the language of mathematics
- simulation to gain insight into processes and to predict effects of therapies
- identification to obtain model parameters from noisy measurements
- optimization for individual treatment planning
On the mathematical side this involves e.g. adaptive finite element methods for solving various partial differential equations, inexact Newton methods for tackling nonlinear problems, and interior point methods for solving optimal control problems.

Algerian troops ended a hostage crisis at a remote gas facility Saturday with one last, bloody assault, Algerian and Western officials said, after three days of chaos and confusion left dozens dead and fanned fears of a new terror front in Africa.
At least 23 hostages and 32 "terrorists" were killed around the sprawling facility in eastern Algeria's desert, the Algerian interior ministry said Saturday. Some 685 Algerian workers and 107 foreigners have been freed, it said.
It is not clear just how many people are still unaccounted for. A senior U.S. official said two Americans were among that number.
The saga closed after a "final" assault, which itself contributed to the deaths of seven hostages and 11 militants, according to Algerian state media reports.
An Algerian Radio report did not specify the nationalities of those killed. CNN is unable to verify the state media figures on the deaths.
Afterward, Algeria's military continued to clear mines planted by militants, the official Algerian Press Service reported, citing the country's state-owned oil and gas company.
"While the site is still dangerous and there may be explosives that will need to be dealt with, the terrorist incident is now over," said British Prime Minister David Cameron, citing his conversation with his Algerian counterpart.
The militant siege caught the world's attention as it ensnared citizens from several nations and dragged on for days.
Algerian authorities said they believe the attack was revenge for allowing France to use Algerian airspace for an offensive against Islamist militants in neighboring Mali.
Whatever the rationale, the scale and gore of the terror has stirred world leaders to press for action beyond Algeria, especially with Islamic extremists asserting themselves more and more in recent weeks.
"Let me be clear: There is no justification for taking innocent life in this way," Cameron said. "Our determination is stronger than ever to work with allies ... around the world to root out and defeat this terrorist scourge and those who encourage it."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Algerian authorities "certainly worked very hard to try to save the lives of people from other countries. I think it's actually too early to pass judgment on (the Algerian military operation)."
U.S. President Barack Obama said his administration would work with other countries to "combat the scourge of terrorism in the region, which has claimed too many innocent lives. This attack is another reminder of the threat posed by al Qaeda and other violent extremist groups in North Africa."
In a statement, Obama said the United States will work with Algeria to prevent future such incidents.
Crisis highlights pressure, potential on Algeria
Algerian special forces moved in because the terrorists wanted to flee for Mali -- apparently to pressure France and others who have recently intervened in that country -- Algerian state TV reported Saturday.
The Islamic extremists also planned to blow up the gas installation, a threat that initially prompted Algeria to halt its military operation. The location was rigged to explode, with mines planted throughout, according to the senior U.S. official.
Algeria's status as Africa's largest natural gas producer, and as a major supplier of the product to Europe, heightens its importance to other nations and businesses who want to invest there. Yet that interest is coupled with pressure to make sure foreign nationals, and their business ventures, are safe.
The targeted plant in In Amenas, which is just 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of the Libyan border, is run by Algeria's state oil company, in cooperation with foreign firms such as Norway's Statoil and Britain's BP.
Saturday's last push there follows another one two days earlier, which spurred criticism from some countries that Algeria had unnecessarily endangered hostages' lives.
British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said Britain was still pressing the Algerian government for full details, while confirming the Saturday assault resulted in more deaths. He called the loss of life "appalling and unacceptable," laying blame solely on the terrorists.
Like Cameron, Norwegian foreign ministry spokesman Svein Michelsen confirmed that the Algerian military offensive was over, but did not offer further details.
Nations scramble to account for missing
The overall death toll could rise, Algerian state TV reports, as authorities are still combing the area.
Amid the uncertainty, individual nations are scrambling to find out what happened to their citizens. It is not clear how many hostages were seized by the Islamist militants in the first place.

Go! Larrabee opened its doors after a summer of construction on Wednesday afternoon and it has been non-stop activity ever since. Hundreds of boxes were moved into classrooms and hallways, waiting to be unpacked. In a repeat of last summer's late August days a wave of families, teachers, and communtiy members descended and brought order to chaos. On Friday families dropped in to match students with teachers. Now the fun begins. Students will arrive tomorrow and our year long learning journey will commence. Yipee!

The end of the year was, as usual, a whirlwind. From the many field trips (WWU gardens, Fairhaven Park, Cornet Bay) to the many activities and assemblies things were just busy, busy, busy. Now, the days are slow and I find myself amused by what I choose to focus on outside of the classroom. Things I have learned since school ended on the 18th: >How to make ricotta cheese! Not very difficult and it tastes just divine. I don't think I will ever buy mass produced ricotta again. >How to trade stocks online. No phone calls, just click and trade. Scary at first but I am warming up to this. > That raspberry plants can rust. Sadly those little orange spots on one of my raspberry plants is rust, not a nice disease at all. It doesn't seem to have stopped the plant from producing berries but I have not been successful eliminating it yet. That will be my next learning goal!
Hope this finds you learning new things too. Have a wonderful summer!

Two weeks and six long tests later our WASL tasks are complete! Now, we are diving into poetry. Geometry with words! We started with the word "tidbit" which I always took to mean a small bit. Well, the proper definition is, "very pleasing bit of food, news, etc." Some students felt that combining WASL with something pleasing was created and oxymoron. Others disagreed. Just like broccoli, some love the WASL and some don't! Thankfully all of us are having fun with words; how they sound, how they look, and what they mean. Look to the left and click on the Poetry assignment to read poems from fifth graders!
Thank You Qwest & Congratulations Ms. Conlon!

Pentagon says Afghan insurgents 'resilient'
Report says insurgent safe havens in Pakistan remain key threat
Insurgents remain determined in Afghanistan where their attacks rose only slightly during the heaviest period of fighting this year, according to a Pentagon report that also found insurgent safe havens in Pakistan remain a key threat to long-term Afghan security.
The bi-annual report to Congress made available to reporters on Monday also touted the just-completed U.S. troop surge as a success, and noted that American forces are turning more of the fighting over to their Afghan counterparts and suffering fewer casualties.
Although the report said Taliban insurgents have lost some of their punch since their 2010 peak, they remain "resilient and determined" and "will likely attempt to regain lost ground and influence" through assassinations, high-profile attacks, the use of roadside bombs and other violence.
Insurgent attacks were up about 1 percent between April and September, which covers the annual fighting season, according to report.
The uptick in violence was mainly due to a shortened poppy harvesting season, which allowed low-level insurgents who work in that business to fight sooner than usual, and increased operations by international and Afghan Security forces in key areas.
The increase mainly was seen between April and June, while a bigger drop was recorded in the summer months compared to the same period last year.
The report touted the nearly two-year troop surge, which ended in September, as a success and noted that enemy-initiated attacks dropped by 12 percent during that time.
U.S. and international forces are conducting fewer operations while Afghan forces are doing more of the fighting.
Fewer coalition casualty numbers are "what you would expect when you are doing less fighting, but Afghan numbers are up," according to a senior U.S. defense official.
The report also noted continued movement of insurgents over the border into safe havens in Pakistan, an issue that has complicated efforts to put Afghanistan on a more secure footing.
Afghanistan's eastern border with Pakistan remains volatile because of the ease of movement by insurgent organizations such as the Haqqani network and other groups, which finance anti-Afghan and coalition operations, according to the report.
"Safe havens in Pakistan persist despite improving ties between Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as better U.S.-Pakistan relations, according to the American defense official.
The report said that insurgent safe havens in Pakistan as well as "limited institutional capacity of the Afghan government and endemic corruption" comprise the greatest risks to long-term stability and sustainable security in Afghanistan."
The report also examined the overall increase in "insider attacks" on U.S. or coalition training forces.
"The rise in insider attacks has the potential to adversely affect the coalition's political landscape," according to the report. "It remains clear that the insider threat is both an enemy tactic and has a cultural component," according to the report.

By Michael Kugelman, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Michael Kugelman is the senior program associate for South Asia at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC. You can follow him @MichaelKugelman. The views expressed are his own.
Will Pakistan experience an Arab Spring? The question has been on many minds since revolution swept across the Middle East and North Africa in 2011 -- and especially since a major anti-government rally took place in Islamabad this month.
It's easy to understand why. Pakistan, like the Arab Spring nations, boasts a young and mobile communications savvy population. Its masses are victims of the same indignities that incited revolt in the Middle East: corruption, oppression, and injustice.
However, the similarities end there. Let's stop talking about a revolution in Pakistan, because it's not going to happen.
It's tempting to think Pakistan harbors revolutionary impulses. In recent weeks, a cleric named Tahir ul Qadri led a march to Pakistan's capital that he vowed would culminate in the fall of the government. Tens of thousands -- including women and children -- camped out in Islamabad to cheer Qadri's fiery anti-government speeches.
Yet this story yielded a decidedly counter-revolutionary denouement. Qadri stepped off the stage and entered into negotiations with government officials. The outcome? An "Islamabad Long March Declaration" calling for the government to be dissolved by mid-March, and for a caretaker government to take over until elections are held within 90 days of the government's dissolution. This is actually the direction the government was moving in before the march -- part of a constitutionally mandated transition process for election years, and 2013 is one such year.
In effect, the chief revolutionary signed a backroom deal with the state that left everything in place -- and his supporters literally out in the cold. Not exactly a scene from Tahrir Square.
In Pakistan, power is about personalities, not people. Pakistanis frequently gravitate toward charismatic politicians who, messiah-like, vow to single-handedly rid the nation of its afflictions. Yet these leaders often come across as mere pawns of Pakistan's established power brokers.
Take Qadri. He is known for his galvanizing anti-government rhetoric, but he also supported Pakistan's military coup in 1999, and expresses pro-army views. Tellingly, the Long March Declaration stipulates that his political party help select a caretaker prime minister. This has all fueled speculation that his march was engineered by Pakistan's powerful armed forces to deepen their behind-the-scenes influence over politics.
Meanwhile, Imran Khan, a former cricket star contesting this year's elections, often resorts to crowd-pleasing populist rhetoric, such as vowing to end corruption in 90 days. Yet he has struggled to shake the perception that his campaign has been sponsored, if not bankrolled, by Pakistan's security establishment.
Be this as it may, there's no denying the extraordinary ability of these charismatic figures to mobilize the masses. Khan has drawn huge crowds -- some estimate as many as 500,000 people -- to his campaign rallies. Qadri attracted tens of thousands to his march even though he's lived in Canada for the last seven years.
So imagine for a moment that a truly independent charismatic leader materializes, one with no strings to be pulled, and who genuinely desires to precipitate a people's revolution. Could such a figure's prodigious mobilizing abilities launch a mass movement for change?
Don't count on it.
Why? Because mobilization is only a first step toward launching a revolution. The other steps -- identifying core objectives and strategies, and them implementing them through mass action -- are non-starters in Pakistan because the nation is too riven by division. Ethnic, provincial, and sectarian tensions are rife, effectively negating any hopes for unifying around a common cause, much less a leader (Khan is a deeply polarizing figure). Sunni-Shia cleavages run deep, and fractures between Sunni Barelvis and Sunni Deobandis are sharp. These religion-based fissures should put to rest any talk of an eventual Iran-style Islamic revolution.
It's not just Pakistan's fractures that inhibit mass movements for change. Thanks to the power of patronage, many everyday Pakistanis are allergic to actions that threaten the status quo because this could imperil the influence of friends and other patrons who help them get by in Pakistan's unmeritocratic society.
Some may argue that Pakistan doesn't need an Arab Spring because it has already experienced something approximating one -- a pro-democracy movement in 2007. Lawyers, journalists, and students launched a campaign against the draconian policies of President Pervez Musharraf, which led to his resignation the next year and to an era of democracy that has shakily endured to the present day.
Still, while that movement may have produced democracy, it has failed to overhaul the oppressive culture of corruption and impunity that continues to enrage the Pakistani masses today. Sadly, this culture is unlikely to be eliminated anytime soon.
As the Qadri march wrapped up, local media reported that poor hygiene conditions had sent more than 90 sickened participants to the hospital. Social media reports (albeit unconfirmed ones) claimed that several people had died.
What a tragic yet appropriate coda in a nation where people's privations, not people power, carry the day.
