Next Update: June 25, 2008
The Maryland Fishing Challenge continues through this month and until September 1st. Fishermen are encouraged to register any fish they catch that meets the minimum size criteria at a Citation Center to be in the drawing for a number of prizes which include a new 4x4 Tundra pickup truck, a boat, motor and trailer outfit and thousands of dollars in prizes. On Monday, June 2, Maryland's most desired rockfish was released into the Chesapeake Bay as part of the 2008 Maryland Fishing Challenge. A $10,000 reward and a $5,000 diamond are being offered for his capture. Anglers can read more about the kick-off event here. Fifteen children will be randomly chosen from fishing rodeos across the state in the coming months and will be entered to win quality fishing trips with a mentor at the 2008 Maryland Fishing Challenge grand finale in September. This weekend, another four young anglers were entered into the unique youth component of the 2008 Maryland Fishing Challenge. DNR staff took part in the Hillcrest Youth Fishing Rodeo in Lansdowne, Maryland and a great time was had by all.
Participation in all aspects of the Fishing Challenge continues to grow; although Diamond Jim has yet to be found. Keep an eye out for chartreuse-tagged rockfish in the Bay and its tributaries! Congrats to Zackary Decker of Elkton, Md. for catching a rainbow trout, Charles Donohue of Philadelphia, Pa. for catching a sea bass and Craig Bandes of Alexandria, Va. for catching a 44" rockfish. All three are now entered to win big prizes from Central Atlantic Toyota, Bill's Outdoor Center and Bass Pro Shops at the finale in September. More information can be found at www.dnr.maryland.gov/fishingchallenge/.

All across Maryland schools are now on summer break and kids are once again free to be kids and families are free to go on vacations and spend more time together. Everyone seems to be drifting into the summer mood of family vacations, time together camping and fishing and just a little more freedom from the daily grind. This Friday is the official first day of summer so it's time to take a breath and enjoy all that Maryland has to offer for the summer. Dads all over Maryland got to choose what to do with their children this past Fathers Day and many were lucky enough to go fishing with their children. There appears there is nothing Daniel and Jonathan Irons of Queenstown would rather do than go fishing with dad and mom and they look like they know what they are doing.
Although trolling is still a viable way to catch one's striped bass in all areas of the Chesapeake, many fishermen are now switching to chumming as warmer water temperatures have the striped bass holding to a summer pattern of behavior. Traditional locations such as Love Point in the upper bay, Tilghman Point and the Hill in the middle bay and the Southwest Middle Grounds and the lower Potomac in the lower Bay are attracting the attention of regional chumming fleets. It is for a good reason since fishermen are presently catching striped bass at these locations. Light tackle jigging to striped bass breaking water or holding to deep structure continues to be a good option when the situation presents itself and the early morning/late evening shallow water fishery continues to offer good fishing. Many fishermen are beginning to live line spot in a number of traditional locations for their striped bass this week.
The croaker fishing in the lower and middle regions of the Chesapeake is about as good as it gets right now and fishermen are enjoying excellent fishing for croakers with a mix of spot, flounder and bluefish in some areas. This is the perfect time of the year to enjoy some lazy bottom fishing for croakers in many areas; especially towards the evening hours after work to help wash away the stresses of the day. Croaker fishing is a simple kind of fishing for a simple fish but often it's the simple things in life that help draw us closer to the really important things in life.
Fishing for white perch in the lower sections of most tidal rivers remains very good at this time and shore line and boat fishermen are enjoying catching them on bait or small lures such as jigs, spinners and spoons. Most any dock on a tidal creek will have white perch under it or within casting distance. One child, a fishing rod, hook and some grass shrimp or bloodworm is all one needs to see a child's face light up with excitement.
Recreational crabbers in the upper bay have yet to see their season develop yet but middle bay and lower bay crabbers are doing well and a full bushel of crabs is more the norm for an outing of crabbing with a trot line or line of collapsible crab traps. Friday the 13th of June was a lucky day for crabbing in the Kent Island area for Greg Falter, his son Adam and friend Paul Menges when they caught a bushel of crabs in a short mornings outing using collapsible crab traps.
Freshwater fishermen continue to enjoy excellent fishing for smallmouth bass at Deep Creek Lake and the upper Potomac River this week. The largemouth bass in the western region are beginning to enter their post-spawn phase of activity and will be feeding aggressively soon. Largemouth bass in the warmer regions of the state are starting to enter their summer mode of behavior which means early morning and evening feeding activity and sulking in the cool shade during the heat of the day. Trout fishermen are still enjoying good trout fishing in many areas due to good water flows. Steve Ferendo holds up his Fathers Day trout he caught in a Frederick County stream on a bead head nymph while fishing with his son Kyle.
Fishermen in the Ocean City area continue to catch flounder in the back bay areas; surf fishermen are catching a mix of sharks and dogfish in the surf along with bluefish and striped bass. Sea bass fishing on the wreck sites is reported to be fair to good and offshore fishermen are beginning to bring in increasing numbers of yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna and dolphin to port.
"How like fish we are: ready, nay eager, to seize upon whatever new thing some wind of circumstance shakes down upon the river of time! And how we rue our haste, finding the gilded morsel to contain a hook."
Aldo Leopold

Understanding Yoga Nidra. ~ Mark-Francis Mullen
Yoga nidra is one of the least known tools of yoga.
It's typically thought of as a sort of guided meditation or deep relaxation technique, and is often confused with some "New-Ager" chanting notional ideas of light and relaxation to "soothing" music. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Yoga nidra is a practice that has been refined over five millennia, using the experiences of countless people as "guinea pigs."
It is a tool to enter a zone of yogic "sleep," which is much deeper and more restorative than regular sleep. In this zone, we release energy and emotions trapped in the body and free channels so energy can again flow unimpeded. We re-establish our connection to the earth, develop our sense of lightness and heaviness and play a bit with gravity, space and time. We take a 61-point tour through the physical and energetic bodies and rest in, and re-tune, the energy of our main energy vortices, also known as the chakras.
The basis of yoga nidra is non-effort or allowing, as is true of all the yogic practices, even, and especially, those that appear effort-full on the surface. Yoga nidra is not so much something one does, but something one experiences, something one feels, lives and breathes.
Yoga nidra is based on a healthy and grounding relationship with the breath, which centers us and helps still the mind and calm the body. Many of the practices traditionally use various forms of guided breath exercises, along with the energetic tours of the body and specific imagery intended to still and soothe the mind while gently engaging it so it does not run free and wild.
Yoga nidra can be used as a prelude to meditation, and/or a conclusion to it. While nidra is most typically done at the end of the day, during the ambrosial hours during and after sunset, it can be done anytime, even as a morning wakeup that is more energizing and healthy than a cup of espresso.
It appears to work best when done at the same time each day.
Yoga nidra works on the two most basic and external "sheaths" of the body; the annamaya kosha, or the physical body and the pranamaya kosha, the energetic body. By integrating and relaxing these sheaths, the internal sheaths of the mind, the intellect and the pure consciousness can rest in their abode, naturally and peacefully.
One primary, and often overlooked or undervalued, aspect of nidra is the setting of sankalpa, or deep intentions, at the beginning of each nidra session. These intentions must be set not only for the good of one's self, but for simultaneous realization of the Truth and for the good of the entire world. Through these intentions we remove ingrained habits, or samskaras.
These intentions are very powerful, so they must be chosen and invoked carefully. Many opt for the basic methods of intending for general improvement of one's compassion, honesty, non-violence, or manifestation of other basic global moral attributes and attitudes.
In addition to aligning and balancing energy in the body and returning one to a sense of grounding in gratitude, compassion and connectedness with the world, nidra establishes a set of neural networks and emotional tone that we can return to in times of stress.
Nidra is not quite meditation, or dhyana. Instead, it is a related "petal" of yoga practice called dharana. Dharana is often mistranslated as "withdrawal of the senses," and sometimes as control of the senses. But it is closer to release of the senses, of the attachment to them and to relying on them to define our world and our physical, mental and psychological states.
The effect of nidra is cumulative on the physical and energetic levels. On the physical level, nidra embodies the neurological truism that neurons that fire together wire together. Or, put more simply, our repeated thoughts can and do effect the neural structure and density of the brain.
Each experience in nidra can, and will, be different, but together these experiences create a growing and steadily, almost exponentially, increasing benefit in the balancing and release of energy, greater interoception, increased proprioception and an improved relationship with the entire mind/body complex and its processes.
Studies have shown that even short-term practice of yoga nidra results in increased gray matter volume (GMV) in the brain, most notably in the hippocampus, xxx and yyy. As length of practice increases, so do the measurable increases in GMV. This accessibility by all is key. Whereas famous studies in meditation used experienced practitioners, beginning practitioners of yoga nidra can access many of these same benefits.
Nyasa is a related practice in which special mantras, or root tones, are "sent," via thought, into various parts of the body, much as our awareness is in the rotation of nidra. As nidra has been popularized in the west primarily by Swami Satyananda Sarasvati, who is also often attributed as its inventor, most of the guided nidra recordings in the western world follow his sequence of this ancient practice: internalization; sankalpa; rotation of consciousness; breath awareness; manifestation of opposites; creative visualization; sankalpa and externalization.

Hearings and Business Meetings
Jun 28 2006
Water and Power Subcommittee Hearing
SD-366 Energy Committee Hearing Room 02:30 PM
Mr. Rick Dieker
Secretary-Manager, Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District
Testimony and Statement of Richard Dieker
Secretary-Manager, Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District
Before the U.S Senate
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
Subcommittee on Water and Power
The Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District Conveyance Act of 2005
June 28, 2006
Good afternoon, my name is Richard Dieker. I am the Secretary-Manager of the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District. I am here today on behalf of the Board of Directors and water users of the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District to provide background and information in support of S. 1965, legislation to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to convey certain lands and buildings of the Yakima Project in
Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District
The District is located in
S. 1965, the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District Conveyance Act of 2005
The act would authorize the Secretary of Interior to convey title of federally owned lands and buildings to the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District. The title would be conveyed to approximately nine acres of land, two houses and associated structures, the headquarters office building and a warehouse. The houses and property are used to accommodate district employees who maintain and inspect delivery facilities. The headquarters office building is the base of operation for the District. On November 15, 2005 the House of Representatives approved H.R.1564 containing the same language as S.1965. This is a great example of the bipartisan support for this bill.
Title Transfer Process
It has been the desire of the District to obtain title to buildings and lands outlined in the legislation and owned by the
We then worked with Senator Cantwell to introduce the legislation.
Benefits of This Title Transfer
The title transfer will give the District more local control of buildings which were constructed for our use. There will be one less administrative layer caused by the
In conclusion, I would like to thank several people who have made this transfer possible. Within the Bureau of Reclamation I would like to thank former Commissioner Keys for his support as Commissioner and also when he was Regional Director in the Pacific Northwest Region. Next is Mike Relf of the Pacific Northwest Regional Office and Keith Angwin from the Upper Columbia Area Office who worked hard to make the process successful. Finally, I would like to thank and acknowledge Senator Cantwell and her staff who worked closely with us to move this legislation forward.
In summary, S.1965 is a good bill, a good title transfer and shows a cooperative process of benefit to both Reclamation and the District. I urge the Committee to move this legislation forward so that the title transfer process for the District can be completed.
This concludes my testimony; I would be pleased to answer any questions.

Austin, March 26, 2007
Good Morning. I'd like to thank you for allowing me to share my story with you via pre-recorded video. Although I would have liked to testify before the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission in person, I'm eight months pregnant and it would not have been feasible for me to travel to Austin.
It is extremely difficult to recount the experience with sexual abuse I had at the 26th District of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police Department in 2003, but I hope that what I share with you will motivate the Commission to do everything in its power to ensure that others are not subjected to sexual violence while in detention.
During the evening of September 3, 2003, I went out with a friend to the store to pick up some diapers for my baby and as we were walking back to the shelter where we were staying, we got caught in the midst of a police drug raid. My friend and I were surrounded by a group of police officers who threw us against a brick wall and immediately began verbally assaulting us. A female officer was called over to search us for drugs. This initial pat search on the street was very thorough and I emptied all of the contents of my pockets and purse to show that I had no contraband, but my friend and I were told that we were going to be taken to the station for another search. I pleaded with the officers and repeatedly told them that we had not purchased any drugs and that we didn't have anything to do with the drug dealers involved in the sting, but still, we were handcuffed, thrown into the back of a police car, and taken to the 26th District police station.
My friend was familiar with police procedure as she had a prior criminal record, and she was very anxious about the way we were being treated. While we were in the back of the car she turned to me and whispered that something was definitely wrong. She knew that they had no right to arrest us, or take us to the station.
When we arrived at the station a second female officer took us into a room and searched us. During this search the officer patted our underwear, felt under our breasts, and made us squat and cough. The search was extremely invasive and left me feeling frightened and uncomfortable. I later found out that the second search was never authorized and that we should have been released after the initial search on the street showed that we were not in possession of drugs. After this second search, the officer placed us into the cell, locked it behind her and left the outer room surrounding the cell. It struck me how strange it was that the police never asked us our names or to see our identification; they did not take our finger prints or allow us to contact anyone. Although we had been searched, we were not formally processed or told why we were being held.
The officers wouldn't listen to our pleas and kept treating us as if they had a legal justification for detaining us. When the female officer left, a male officer entered the room and sat on a bench directly outside the cell. I noticed that he was wearing his police uniform pants, but with a white shirt instead of the usual police uniform shirt. I remember this because I took it as another warning sign that something was not right. After sitting on the bench, he started talking to my friend and me, asking us what our names were and where we lived. However, at no point did he ask to see our identification cards, or any other proof of our identity. It felt as if he was acting inappropriately, and that his questioning had nothing to do with any perceived crime. I was beginning to get very nervous and afraid about what would happen next. I was certain that this was not normal procedure, and that this officer was completely out of line. But I was frightened that protesting further would only make the situation worse.
The officer next asked my friend and I if we were girlfriends and whether or not we liked "eating each other's pussies." I was shocked, and could not believe that this was really happening. Because our cell was inside a larger closed room, there were no other officers in sight that we could call out to or who could hear what he was saying to us. Trying to keep the situation from escalating, I responded that we were just friends and that we had never had sex. I prayed that he would stop asking us these questions, but he continued to look at us and our bodies in a very suggestive manner. It felt as though his eyes were piercing right through our clothes.
The officer propped up his feet and continued tormenting us. He asked us again if we were girlfriends and threateningly demanded that we kiss each other. As he told us this he jangled his keys in front of us, mocking us, and reinforcing the fact that he had all the power in the situation. In total fear that we would not be allowed to leave if we did not comply with his demands, my friend and I kissed. Unfortunately, the officer would not stop. He told us that he wanted to see us touch each others' breasts. My friend put her hand on one of my breasts in compliance; the officer then proceeded to ask her if she liked "eating [my] pussy."
I was so horrified that I started crying uncontrollably. I demanded to know why he was doing this to us, but he continued to insist that we touch each other if we wanted to get out. He threatened us that if we said anything, or made any noise, he would find something to charge us with so that we couldn't leave.
Then he told us to "lick each other's pussies." I got so upset that I told him we were definitely not going to do that, but he pressed on, telling us that "no one would see [us]," and that he would not let us go until we did as he said. My friend and I were both sobbing and started yelling in hopes that somebody would hear and help us.
We wanted to be let out of the cell and get away from this monster as soon as possible. We were distraught, angry, frightened, and crying hysterically. Despite our outrage, there was no way out. He kept telling me to "eat [my friend's] pussy" and that if I didn't, we couldn't go home. When he said that he would find something to charge us with if we didn't comply with all of his demands, I believed him. It was without question the most humiliating and degrading moment of my life, and I could not believe that this so-called officer of the law had the power to violate us this way. I was beginning to feel like this officer would be able to get away with absolutely anything he chose to do. While this was happening, I noticed that another male officer stuck his head into the cell room and saw what was going on. Instead of doing anything to help us, he gave the first officer a smile, a "thumbs up," and walked away.
My friend and I both began to fall apart at this point. Perhaps because we were so visibly upset, and out of fear that somebody else might actually hear us, the officer suddenly decided to let us go. He ordered us to fix our clothes, wipe our faces, and "get the hell out." When we went out into the main area of the station where the other officers were, we were still so upset that it's hard to believe that none of them pulled us aside and asked what was going on or tried to find out what had happened back in that cell. I wanted to scream out so that everyone in the building would know, but I was so afraid that if we said anything, we'd be thrown right back in the cell.
While our release was being processed, I asked for a document stating that we had been held at the station, because the shelter I was staying at required verification of my whereabouts after curfew. Hearing our request, the officer who had violated us hollered across the room and ordered us to get out. He pointed to the door, and threateningly told us to go home.
After we left the station, my friend and I realized that all of the money in my purse and some of our bus tokens were missing, so we ran back inside and demanded that our property be returned. The same officer was waiting by the front window. He physically dragged us out of the station and said, "Get the fuck out of here before I put you back in jail."
Afraid of what would happen if we made a scene, we left without our property. As soon as I got to the shelter where I had been staying with my husband and kids, I told the administrators what had happened and that I wanted to make a report. They encouraged me to do so, and told me to call 911. I told the emergency operator exactly what happened and within minutes a police car came to pick me up so that I could give a formal statement. I was taken to a different police station and questioned by the captain in private. I gave him my report, and he faxed the written statement to the office of internal affairs that same night.
My friend decided not to join me in reporting what the officer had done to us. She had a criminal record, and was already very distrustful of law enforcement. I have no criminal record, had never been arrested, and would never have believed that something like this could happen. I felt like the officer had to be held accountable, and that the public needed to know what some law enforcement officials were capable of. I was relieved that the captain who interviewed me seemed to take my report seriously, and I assumed that he would make sure that the officer who did those horrible things to us would be prosecuted and punished.
Unfortunately, months went by and nothing was happening. It seemed like every time I was in touch with officials from the Philadelphia Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit, there had been some setback in the investigation. For example, responsibility for my complaint changed hands several times, as investigators were reassigned or retired. I became convinced that nothing would ever happen to that police officer. I knew that he was still working in the same position, and I feared that he was continuing to sexually abuse other innocent women on the streets and at the police station.
I myself have been unable to trust the Philadelphia Police Department ever since this incident. Shortly afterwards, I spent several days in a psychiatric hospital because I felt extremely paranoid and became convinced that the officer was stalking me. I walked around with a towel wrapped around my head because I did not want him to recognize me. My family was so concerned that they recommended I stay at the hospital until some of my anxiety over the incident subsided.
In January 2006, the lawyer whom I had hired to represent me in a civil suit against the police department decided that it would be best for me to settle with them out of court. I did not agree with the lawyer's decision because I was not interested in monetary gain, but in seeing justice served. Unfortunately, the lawyer did not want to take on a case against the Police Department, and so he went ahead with the settlement. My portion of the settlement, after attorneys' fees and expenses, was $5500, which is hardly restitution for the injustice I suffered.
In any case, my understanding was that the internal affairs investigation had been closed by then. I had given up all hope until reporters from the Philadelphia Inquirer asked if they could write an article about my case. I agreed, and the reporters who wrote the story did more investigation of my complaint than the Office of Internal Affairs had done, forcing that department to take a closer look at my case.
The difficult part of having an article about my case published was that I worried that it would be dangerous for me. In fact, I still feel paranoid and tense when I see a police officer, and I became increasingly nervous as the reporters investigated my case. After the article was published in August 2006, two police officers approached me on the street and told me that they recognized me as "the girl that had made the allegations against that officer." This was really frightening as it made me feel very worried that I could face possible retaliation from other officers of the Philadelphia police department.
Despite my fear of retaliation, I am so glad that I took the risk to speak out about what happened to me and my friend. On March 12, 2007, the Office of Internal Affairs published a report substantiating all of my allegations and finding five different officers—most importantly, the one who sexually violated my friend and me—guilty of misconduct for their actions that night. The abusive officer will probably be terminated; four others were found guilty of trying to cover up the incident and will probably face suspension. I am saddened, of course, that the officer who subjected us to such abuse will not be prosecuted. The district attorney's office has found that, despite the findings by Internal Affairs, there is insufficient evidence to charge him with a crime.
My spirit has been lightened and I am so relieved that I've finally been vindicated, and that the officers have finally been held accountable. However, I am disappointed that it took more than three years because the internal affairs investigators at the Philadelphia police department did not do their jobs in this case. If it hadn't been for those caring reporters at the Philadelphia Inquirer, I might never have been believed and the officer would not have been held responsible.
So often, the public and the criminal justice system do not believe complaints of sexual abuse made by people behind bars. I never should have been picked up by the police that night—my friend and I were at that police station only to satisfy the sick desires of an abusive officer. I told the truth about what he did to us, yet, because it was incorrectly assumed that I may have been engaging in criminal activity, officials within the department and the public doubted my word against his. I would therefore like to encourage the Commission to take steps to ensure that all complaints of sexual abuse against detainees and anyone else caught up in the criminal justice system are treated seriously. Such complaints must be promptly and fully investigated, and perpetrators of such violence must be prosecuted. Despite my innocence, I was held at a police lock-up in a situation where no one else knew where I was or what was happening to me. The police had all the power and I had none and no one within the Police Department was apparently willing to challenge what this rogue officer did to us.
I thank you again for providing me the opportunity to speak to you today. For additional testimonials click here.

SHAWNEE — A Shawnee woman was sentenced to life in prison plus 25 years Wednesday after being found guilty in the 2009 child abuse death of her 6-year-old stepdaughter, Alexis Morris.
Shawnee stepmother convicted in child abuse death
In dramatic testimony, Jennifer Jimenez's 12-year-old daughter described for the jury how she walked in on her mom as the woman held Alexis upside down by her ankles and slammed the child's head against the ground as Alexis was crying and screaming, said Pottawatomie County Assistant District Attorney Adam Panter.
That was moments before Alexis was found unconscious and not breathing, the prosecutor said.
Alexis' Sept. 25, 2009, death is the latest in a series of tragic Oklahoma child abuse deaths that have raised serious questions about the quality of work being done by Oklahoma child welfare workers.
In the two years leading up to Alexis' death, the state Department of Human Services received 17 child abuse complaints concerning injuries to Alexis and her younger brother, Jordan, Panter said. The injuries to Jordan ranged from a broken arm to cuts and bruises.
Less severe injuries to Alexis generally were reported, except for the injuries reported after her death, he said.
Complaints came from multiple credible sources including teachers, school counselors and a pediatrician, but Jimenez's two stepchildren were allowed to remain in the home, Panter said.
Jimenez also had two natural children in the home, but the abuse complaints concerned the stepchildren, he said.
Federal suit
Christina Potter, the natural mother of Alexis and Jordan, has filed a federal lawsuit against DHS accusing the agency of failing to properly investigate allegations of abuse against Jimenez and of discouraging the reporting of child abuse complaints by repeatedly saying the complaints were without merit.
Oklahoma City federal judge Stephen P. Friot found problems with the initial lawsuit but has given Potter's attorney a chance to amend it by Aug. 6.
Potter's attorney, Jerry Colclazier, of Seminole, said he has been having trouble getting a report from the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth that he believes would bolster his case.

Amanda Seyfried Jokes She Wants to "Sabotage" Miley Cyrus' Movie
Although Nicholas Sparks movies -- a la The Notebook and A Walk to Remember -- all focus on love, the stars of two of the author's latest flicks felt anything but!
Amanda Seyfried, who stars alongside Channing Tatum in Dear John (out today), joked that Miley Cyrus is lucky her Sparks-inspired movie, called The Last Song, will open two months later.
Check out Miley Cyrus -- in her shortest shorts ever!
"If The Last Song was coming out the same weekend as Dear John, we'd have to collaborate on some sort of sabotage mission," the actress, 24, told MTV.
"I'd burn it," Tatum added. "I'd sabotage it somehow."
Still, the 29-year-old actor notes that The Last Song is "not any more competition than all the rest" of Sparks' movies, which he says "are very, very separate from each other" with one overriding theme -- love.
Plus, The Last Song -- which also stars Cyrus' new beau Liam Hemsworth -- is not hitting theaters until March 31.

"We're not competing for the same weekend," Tatum says.
So why should audiences see Seyfried and Tatum fall in love in Dear John?
Check out more of Hollywood's most romantic stars
"Not to be cheesy or melodramatic [but] everyone wants to feel loved and that their love is special," he says. "And when they read about these once-in-a-lifetime sort of relationships and loves, it's a great place to go away and escape."

It can be hard for older or disabled dogs to get adopted, but a deaf dog in Nebraska now has a new home thanks to the hard work of a volunteer.
Rosie is a three-year-old pit bull, and when she came into the Nebraska Humane Society shelter in Aurora, she immediately captured the hearts of the workers there.
Volunteer Tracie Pfeifle began teaching Rosie sign language for basic commands like sit, down, stay, outside and walk.
Pfeifle says that is was "just amazing to watch her just blossom into a dog. I don't think she knew how to be a dog," reports KHON Channel 2 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
After that, it was a waiting game to find Rosie the perfect home.
Pretty soon, Cindy Koch, who is also deaf, came along.
Koch says she always wanted a deaf dog and that she and her family hope to teach Rosie more sign language.

MADISON, Wis. – Junior defensive end J.J. Watt has been named the Lott IMPACT Player of the Week, it was announced on Monday.Watt was instrumental in Wisconsin's 31-18 win over No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday night. The Pewaukee, Wis., native had four tackles, three of which went for a loss, two sacks and one quarterback hurry as the Badgers knocked off a top-ranked team for the fourth time in school history.Former Virginia and Navy Coach George Welsh of the Legends Coaches who vote on the weekly award said, "When I was coaching Navy, George Allen told me that to win you had to have relentless pass rushers the whole game long. J.J. Watt is exactly the kind of guy he was talking about after watching his game against Ohio State."Watt's 11.5 TFLs this season are tied for 10th in the nation, while his four sacks put him fourth in the Big Ten. Despite being a defensive end, Watt is also tied for fourth in the conference with six passes defended. He leads Wisconsin in those three categories.Wisconsin will receive $1,000 for its general scholarship fund in recognition of Watt's achievement.Named after Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, the Lott is awarded to college football's Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year. Now in its seventh year, the Lott is the first college football award to equally recognize athletic performance and the personal character attributes of the player.Sponsored by The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation in Newport Beach, the award is given to the player who exhibits the same characteristics Lott embodied during his distinguished career: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

Colleges step up to help family
Pace and Fordham universities, two schools with ties to the families in Sundays crash, are raising money to help survivors cope with funeral costs.
Maria Gonzalez and her sister, Maria Nunez, worked in Fordhams custodial services department.
Gonzalezs son Jonel is a freshman at Paces Pleasantville campus and a member of the Lambda Upsilon Lambda fraternity. His frat brothers set up a website, www.supportjonel.com, where visitors can donate money to help the family. As of Wednesday afternoon, the group had raised more than $87,000 from 3,107 donors, according to a tally on the site. The group is hoping to raise $100,000.
I think its amazing the way the community has come together, said fraternity President Kenni Silverio, a senior at the Pleasantville campus who described himself as very close to Jonel Gonzalez.
Hes staying strong, considering what hes going through, Silverio said.
Contributions to the Fordham University Disaster Relief Fund can be made in person or by mail.
Checks made out to the fund with Gonzalez/Nunez Family written in the memo line should be sent to: Fordham University, Office of the President, Attention Dorothy Marinucci, 441 E. Fordham Road, Administrative Building, 1st Floor Rose Hill Campus, Bronx, NY, 10458.
For more information, call 718-817-3000.
NEW YORK — Three days after a car soared off the Bronx River Parkway, killing Maria Gonzalez and six family members traveling with her, state transportation officials announced steps to improve the roads safety.
State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald said in a statement Wednesday her department would install concrete barriers along the outside travel lanes of three spans at the parkways southern end. Work was to begin immediately.
The DOT shares community concerns about the safety of the Bronx River Parkway in the wake the tragic crash that claimed the lives of seven family members on April 29, McDonald said. We are working cooperatively with the New York (City) Police Department on enhanced enforcement activities in the area to help raise driver awareness and reduce travel speeds.
Signs and striping, which workers began installing Wednesday, will inform drivers that the speed limit in these sections, now classified as construction zones, has been reduced to 35 mph.
Gonzalez was driving her parents, daughter, sister and two nieces south on the parkway Sunday afternoon when her car struck the median, swerved across three lanes of traffic, hit the curb and was launched over a 4-foot-high guardrail along the outside of the span.
The 2004 Honda Pilot fell nearly 60 feet to a rocky patch of dirt on the Bronx Zoos property. Autopsies showed all seven people, the eldest an 85-year-old man, the youngest a 3-year-old girl, died of blunt-force trauma.
In the hours and days following the crash, friends and family converged on the Gonzalez family home on Taylor Avenue in the Bronx while local officials called for safety improvements to the parkway.
In June, a driver traveling north across the same span lost control and, after striking a lane divider, also fell off the road, tumbling about 20 feet. The driver and a passenger survived the crash.
State Assemblyman Marcos Crespo, whose district includes the Soundview neighborhood where the Gonzalez family lives, was among those demanding the road be made safer. Specifically, he said the guardrails should be taller and sturdier.
DOT spokesman Adam Levine said the concrete barriers, which are 32 inches tall, would be placed on the surface of the road between the outside travel lane and the raised curb.
Placed right along the roadside, they are to keep a vehicle from launching off the curb. Beyond the curb are a sidewalk and railing.
We do not anticipate anything getting through the concrete barrier, Levine said. Its the same kind of barrier thats in a median that has been found to stop vehicles from leaving the road.
He said the parkways curbs were designed in 1940, when cars were slower and shorter.
Spans carrying the parkway over East Tremont Avenue and Amtraks yard will receive similar work.
Crespo and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. praised the DOT for acting swiftly, though Diaz made it clear he expects more safety improvements to come, calling todays announcement an important first step towards the goal of an improved Bronx River Parkway that is safer for drivers and the community alike.

I am in a similar quandary, except the affairs were 20 years ago and the people are now in their forties.
I go back and forth between deciding to tell or not. I do know I hate that I'm in the position of keeping secrets from someone.
It's difficult either way. Hugs.
Thankfully I have a place to vent this stuff.
Have a good weekend all!
Both sides
I can tell you for him it wasn't just sex. He talked to her and shared his feelings with her. He told her all about our life.He shared more of himself in 2 months(so he claims) than 25 years with me. He even he admitted to me he told her he wasn't worried about me that I would survive and move on. Am I reading more into than there is?
The only thing I know for sure is he has shown his true self and I don't like him or trust him.
As much as I'm plagued by the EA from the last year, the ONS between the two of them 16 years ago plagues me more. We were newlywed, had a new baby, and yes, he was drunk but also not drunk enough to wear a condom. He takes full responsibility for his actions and is very remorseful, in IC, and doing everything he can to try to make it up to me. BUT---it's my first thought every morning and I just am so f***ing angry. He broke our vows so new into our marriage and lied to me for 16 years!!!! He takes full responsibility and like I said, regrets it more than anything.
How do I get past this? How do I know this isn't a deal breaker for me?
Any advice is welcome.
Hugs to all.
About three weeks ago, I came home from work to find my wife crying uncontrollably. She asked me to sit down, and told me about an infidelity in our relationship that happened about a month before we got married. We have been married for almost four years, and she had kept this from me all this time. She entered into marriage with this betrayal hidden from me.
We had dated for a little over a year and had a long-distance relationship. I was her first, and I know this for sure. In fact, she was very inexperienced when we started dating. Although we lived in neighboring states, our ways of life were similar: fairly old-fashioned, traditional Christian upbringings. So the thought of infidelity had been completely out of the picture for me. Our marriage has always felt very solid to me, especially when I see the issues involved in other marriages.
The boy she cheated with had been someone she had feelings for intermittently through school, and I mean since 3rd grade. Nothing serious, never even kissed before. But during our relationship he had started texting her, often about his current relationship or other issues, but his texts had gotten more aggressive. She had told me about his texts several months back, and I had gotten mad, and she never mentioned it again. I assumed, and still feel, that through all his advances she had been true to me in every way.
But one night she contacted him though text. She claims it had started innocently. Since so much time has passed, she says she can't remember details anymore. She says she doesn't know why she texted him. She claims it had nothing to do with me. But apparently the text conversation progressed, and at one point she sent him a picture of her from the back, wearing nothing but panties, apparently to tease him, telling him he could never have her.
Again, the details have been scarce from this point. She doesn't know what led her to sneak out of bedroom window at her parent's house, but she did. She walked down the road and met him in his truck. They had sex, but she claims he didn't cum, which seems strange to me. She says she started realizing how much of a mistake this was during their encounter. She is of course incredibly apologetic and remorseful.
We still live together, though I have been sleeping in our spare bedroom. What is difficult is that, due to the traditional Christian circles we are a part of, I feel like I have to keep this to myself. I don't want others to know, and I know that if I leave others will find out. Our social/religious circle is very tight-knit, and my dad is a very important member of it. I don't want to bring shame to my family, and I know that if her family finds out they will react with great anger and judgment to say the least. Her parents are also visiting right now, so I feel like we need to pretend everything is just perfect for the next week while they are staying with us. I feel like a prisoner in my own life.
My main questions are:
-Can I trust her? What she did seems so out of character with who I thought she was. I want to believe that what she did was an isolated incident, but I've been having my doubts. I believe this is the only time she's cheated, but I'm afraid that if our marriage ever hits a rocky patch in the future, that she is capable of cheating again.
-When can I let myself and our life together return to normal, without feeling like I've let her off too easy?
i want to recommend you posting your story on the "just found out forum." a lot of people will respond to your post and provide you with some wonderful insight and advice. i am sorry you are here. hang in there...you will be okay.
I would ask her "why now? what made you tell me now?" And I'd want to know why she took so long to tell you. Because I'm in this boat with you---again, my FWH had a ONS 16 years ago I just found out about and another 2 years ago and another EA/PA 8 months ago I just found out about. And the fact that I "found out" makes me suspicious how much more is out there waiting for me to find (he says nothing else is out there. He's told me everything) but understands how the fear is very real.
I can't say for your situation, but i am guessing that's her only transgression. That was brave of her to come forward the way she did. And yes, ti's very likely she could cheat again in the future if she doesn't address the issues that caused her to cheat in the first place.
I wish you both good luck and I'm so sorry you're here.
To hurting, I hope that you're not right about her cheating again, but I guess the reason I joined this forum was to try and gain perspective. She says wholeheartedly that she never will, but when someone has already betrayed your trust for that long, believing that statement is hard to do. I tend to think that the reason for her cheating was not so much her personal issues, but more the situation. We had a long-distance relationship, this boy was available, and she was having cold feet about our upcoming marriage. I would visit her about every month, but most of our relationship was on the phone, and didn't like to talk on the phone as much as she did.
Are there any others out there who were cheated on because of cold feet? It seems like it would not be that uncommon.
Thanks again for the support

So sorry you are dealing with this now. I, like you, found out 18 years after the last A ended. My WH had infidelities for the first 10 years of our relationship.
Next month it will be 2 years since DDay #1. Things have gotten a lot better. With the help of us both going to IC and starting MC a few months ago. My WH has been improving with the details from the past. He said it was something he buried and never wanted to remember.
Come to SI for support. I will keep checking for your posts.
Healing myself is now my top priority.
[This message edited by Itstoohard at 7:09 AM, January 12th (Saturday)]
friends wife lasting 10 years. TT over a
year a year. Now his health is declining,
among the lack of communication.
I am thankful for his continued progress and feel that, with time, our marriage will be saved.
One of my closest friends said to fWH "If the affair had happened yesterday I would never speak to you again, but seeing as it was 9 years ago I can forgive you" I was so upset! To my mind she was actually rewarding him for keeping it from me for so long!
Even my daughters were quick to jump to their Dad's defence saying words to the effect of: "Come on mom, it happened so long ago and he's sorry!"
Why do people find it so hard to accept that whether the affair happened yesterday or 9 years ago that bottom line is it happened. fWH betrayed me, the fact that I never knew about it does NOT make it less of a betrayal!
In fact the way I see it, the fact that he kept it from me for so long and that the last 9 years have been based on a lie makes it much, much worse!
Anyone else have this kind of a reaction from friends or family?
The years of lying is the hardest thing to accept. I found out 5 years after the last A. Really, IMO, our whole marriage was a lie. The A's started within the first year of our M and carried on for 5 years and 10 months. I was gaslighted for that entire time, because I KNEW something had happened.
It's really difficult, because you just have no idea what to trust anymore. They were able to lie for so long, that it seems nothing they say or do can be trusted anymore.
Trust is like paper. Once it's crumpled it can never be perfect again.
This is my story.
I was dating my husband on and off (I was 19 and he was 22 when we started dating) for about a year when I found out I was pregnant. DDay was literally the same day (only about 7 hours) that I found out I was pregnant. He was upset about something(probably feeling guilty about cheating) and broke up with me a few days before, then told me that he had cheated once. I had been thinking I could be pregnant and when he told me he cheated I prayed and hoped that my period was just late. During our conversation about him cheating at the beginning of our relationship, I told him I had missed my period and that night after work, he showed up at my apartment with a pregnancy test. It was positive.
Anyway, long story short, I ended up marrying him for the wrong reasons; because i was scared to be pregnant alone and I was also in and out of the hospital due to severe morning sickness, so I had to leave my job. I was not close to any family and barely had any friends, so he was the only person I had to help support me and my soon-to-be-son that I was pregnant with.
When my son was 2 months old, I brought up the subject of H cheating again and then found out that there were 2 one night stands during our courtship. He says he was drunk both times and uses that as an excuse.
I decided to try to forgive (really just put it in the back of my mind and try to forget about it) and move on. Then, 3 years into our marriage, I left because of a fight one night and stayed with a friend for a week. The night I left with my 1-year-old son, my H called his ex-girlfriend (high school sweet heart that broke his heart by cheating with his best friend/roommate in college) and begged her to come stay with him. He offered to pay for her plane ticket, etc. She said no and he stopped talking to her. The same night, he also got on a few "sex websites" (sites that you pay to find 'friends' to sleep with in your area) and also spent too much money on porn and begged a mutual friend to bring girls over. He ended up not physically cheating that night, but only because he didn't have anyone to cheat with.
I decided to stay. Mostly because I was scared of raising a baby on my own and losing my time spent with my son. I had been a stay-at-home-mom since he was born and the thought of losing that scared me.
Now, almost 7 years into our marriage, and another son (2-years old) I am realizing that I never truly moved on from his infidelity. I realize that I've lost myself during our marriage. I have tried to just put the infidelity out of my mind, but it always pops up when I least expect it.
I'm a roller-coaster of emotions 90% of the time. I'm unhappy, resentful, bitter, etc. I am uncomfortable with intimacy with my H because all I can think about is the infidelity.
I just feel so betrayed, even after all the years that have gone by. I am 26 years old and would rather be alone now than in 15 years when I'm older and he has had another affair.
Does anyone have a similar story? How did you get through it?
2 children (5 and 2)
Married almost 7 years.
DDay- July 06 and May 07
It sounds like you rugswept at the time and its reared it head. These things have a way of doing that. If you can, you could get into IC to work through things. From reading your post it certainly sounds as though you never really processed this, so your mind is saying its time you did.
How does your H act? Have you told him? Is he supportive? He can certainly go a long way to help you work through this. But he needs to know.
Have you been able to talk to anyone about this IRL? If you are not comfortable telling someone close, an IC would help.
I wish you the best, this is not easy to work through.
Both Sides
[This message edited by both sides at 5:20 AM, January 29th (Tuesday)]
We have talked about it. He has been remorseful since we got married, other than the times he's strayed emotionally (not physically..as I said, only because the girls wouldn't).
I am in the habit of saying I want to leave at least once every few months. This time, I actually left emotionally for longer than I ever have. We've been in separate bedrooms for a few weeks. I would leave if I had family or someone to stay with for a while until I got back on my feet.
I know H would do anything to make it up to me, but I'm just not sure I want to forgive him. I just can't handle the insecurity his infidelity brought up in me.
I'm sick of living in the body of this bitter, resentful woman the As have made me into. I'm 26 years old.. i shouldn't feel like a bitter old woman. I'm just not sure it will change if I stay with him.
It looks like you are really just starting to open this box and deal with it. So in a sense you are in a type of "just found out". You sound like a lot of people in that situation. At this time you are not sure how you want to proceed. The normal advice here is to not make any quick decisions regarding the future of your M. I would definitely look at IC for you. To talk it out may give you a chance to look at what is the best path for healing.
The fact that your H has had issues after your M says he should do work also. He needs to address what made him act out when you left.
I will finish with this, this can be a deal breaker, that is the way life works sometimes, but you've been together 7 years and 2 kids. Was there something there that carried you this far? Is that worth saving? Only you can answer that, but you need to address it. You are too young to be bitter.

In each issue of Lowrider Magazine, we take it upon ourselves to bring you into the culture of Lowriding from various perspectives to bring about a better and more comprehensive understanding of our passion. Car builds are obviously a huge part of that, and we have done our best to bring you special departments dedicated to each facet of automotive customization. In the past we have brought you departments like "Lowrider Deluxe," which gave you a time-travelling look at vintage parts that are still heavily sought after today. In the arena of audio and hydraulic products, we created "Bumps and Dumps" to help guide our readers towards putting together a clean set up or assembling a top notch audio system with the latest components. This month, we are bringing you a new department, "Saul's Shop Talk," inspired after a road trip to Vegas to pick up one of our latest projects. Our goal with this new section is to be able to discuss some relevant happenings within the industry that we might not have been able to shed light on in any of our other columns. In short, this column will bring about a discussion of any and all things automotive.
For the first edition of Saul's Shop Talk, we breakdown some new product from industry giant, General Tire, a company that has been keeping drivers attached to the road since 1915. With a vast selection of products, General Tires is a company known for their innovations, and their new line of G-max tires is going to help make your domestic vehicle a safe haven on any surface. We got to try out these new tires firsthand as General Tires rented the Infineon Speedway in Sonoma for us to experience the feel of their newest design. At the crack of dawn, we pulled up to the track and the General Tires Crew was ready to go, and so were we, but not before we took on some drivers training. Once we were briefed about safety precautions, we were given the run down on the General Tires G-Max line and what we could expect out of the new tires. The all-season ultra-high performance tire was developed to deliver precise response in dry and wet conditions with excellent light snow grip. The tires are interlocked, meaning the tread blocks work together to improve handling and reduce heat for increased treadlife. When the tire wears to 2/32 of tread depth the indicator transforms to read "replace tire," alerting the driver that a tire change is needed. The VAI® consists of short sipes on both shoulders of the tire. When misalignment occurs, one of these sipes will wear off before the other, alerting the driver to an alignment condition. The tread elements also channel water flow to reduce hydroplaning, which is ideal when driving on wet surfaces.

|The Game Story:
|Saint Leo, Fla. (March 26, 2008) � The Saint Leo University lacrosse team (6-5) defeated visiting MIT (1-3) by a score of 14-5 on Wednesday night in a non-conference game played at University Field.
Junior Mark Dargon (Newton, Mass.) scored two goals and added four assists for a total of six points to lead the Lions to the win. Chris Storrie (Jr., Syracuse, N.Y.) scored three goals in the win, while Kyle Marceau (So., Concord, N.H.) scored twice and added an assist.
The Lions controlled the game from the start, outscoring the visiting Engineers 4-1 in the opening quarter with Dargon contributing two assists in the first. Greg Geiss (Fr., Syracuse, N.Y.) also scored a pair of goals in the first 15 minutes.
MIT battled back to make it 5-3 at half-time, as the visitors outscored the Lions 2-1 in the second quarter. However, the Lions quickly regained control in the third, holding the Engineers scoreless and adding four goals of their own to take a 9-3 advantage into the final quarter.
The Lions carried the momentum into the fourth quarter, as they scored the first five goals, and nine unanswered overall, to take a commanding 14-3 lead. MIT scored two late goals to provide the final margin.

Camarillo adds two miles of bike lanes
Camarillo has added two miles of bike lanes along Daily Drive between Ponderosa Drive and Lewis Road, officials said.
The lanes were part of a $500,000 surface improvement project primarily funded through a state grant, according to officials. Additional improvements included minor street widening near Glenn Drive.
Public Works Director Tom Fox said the project was part of the city's bikeway master plan. Daily Drive is the last arterial street in the city to be renovated under the plan, Fox said.
Camarillo also is working on more projects related to the Calleguas bike trail system.

This Digital Coax Cable is made from premium quality RG59U coaxial cable with double shielding to prevent signal degradation caused by EMI and RFI interference. The conductor is made of 99.999% pure bare oxygen-free copper, while the shield consists of an inner layer of Aluminum-Mylar foil with 100% coverage and an outer layer of copper braid. This cable is ideal for conducting S/PDIF digital audio signals and other high-bandwidth content, but it is also ideal for composite video, audio interconnects, and other line level RCA signals.
The VW-1 rating on this cable indicates that the jacket has been treated so that it complies with fire safety regulations, making it safe for use through or within the walls of residential class buildings.
- Gold plated RCA male connectors
- Molded connector housings
- 99.999% pure oxygen-free copper conductor
- Double shielded with aluminum-mylar foil and copper braiding
- 75 ohm impedance
|50ft Coaxial Audio/Video RCA Cable M/M RG59U 75ohm (for S/PDIF, Digital Coax, Subwoofer & Composite Video)
|Question: Can I use this cable to transmit composite video?
|Answer: Yes.
|Question: How can this one cable be effective for use with digital audio, LFE and composite video?
|Answer: It is not uncommon for the CE industry to base a signal transmission standard on a pre-existing cable format. In fact, it would be very inefficient to make a new type of cable for every new type of signal (even though it sometimes seems like they do it anyway). In this case, all three of these signal types were based on signal transmission through 75 ohm coaxial cable terminated with RCA connectors. In fact, any signal transmission standard that utilized 75ohm coax cable with RCA connectors can use these cables.
|Question: Isn''t it better to use dedicated cables for subwoofer connection?
|Answer: What are often labeled Subwoofer cable are often a result of Marketing Spin and/or a little Consumer Electronics Voodoo.
If the cables are a result of pure spin, then the cables are exactly the same and there''s no reason to pay more for a cable that is specifically labeled, "Subwoofer Cables."
If the cables really are "Tuned" to more effectively carry only the low frequency signals, then that''s probably a lot worse. Most high end powered subwoofer manufacturers will tell you that they put a lot of development time into matching the cabinet design, drivers, amp and crossover network in order to tune the subwoofer and give it the right voice. This tuning is based on the fact that the inputs of the sub will receive a full frequency signal that the crossover will filter to provide the appropriate signal for the amp to amplify. But if the cable is pre-filtering the signal then it is in fact coloring the signal and causing the crossover to filter out of tune. Or that is, the sound would not be as rich and full as it would be if the components of the sub were allowed to do its job with a full range signal from a proper cable.
|Question: What''s the difference between RG59 and RG6?
|Answer: RG59 and RG6 stands for Radio Guide. It''s a standardization form for coax cables and specifies things such as impedance (75 ohms in this case) and wire gauge. The RG59 uses a 22AWG (American Wire Gauge) center wire and the RG6 uses a 18AWG wire. That means that the RG6 is a thicker cable than the RG59 since lower AWG''s denote a thicker wire. Thicker gauge wires are ideal for longer cable runs.
Our RG6 premium cables also feature more robust RCA connectors and are certified for in-wall use.
|Question: Are the connectors gold plated? What does gold plating do?
|Answer: Yes, they are. Gold plating provides resistance against corrosion that would otherwise impede signal transfer and could damage connections on equipment.
