CINCINNATI (AP) -- Police say a 3-year-old boy has died after being struck by a car while walking with his mother and two siblings on a sidewalk in Cincinnati overnight.
Cincinnati police say Rodriguez Taylor was taken to Children's Hospital Medical Center early Monday where he died from his injuries. Taylor's mother and a 1-year-old boy were taken to hospitals for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police say a 5-year-old child was not injured.
Police say the driver failed to control her car and drove left of center, striking a utility pole and hitting the pedestrians on the sidewalk around 4:30 a.m. Monday. The driver was not injured.
Police said in a release Monday that they believe alcohol was a factor in the crash and are continuing to investigate.

Fused Glass Menorah - Joseph's Coat
Like his coat of many colors, this fused glass menorah by Tamara Baskin does justice to Joseph. Tamara is well known for her fused glass judaica work. She makes many fun colorful products. This is one of her least whimsical pieces and for that reason, I like it.

Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy) drops by every week to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt.
Get the Recipe
Why eat from "soup to nuts" when you can get all the important stuff in one delicious bowl of Doughnut Soup?
This creamy, dreamy dish is the ultimate in doughnut decadence. It starts by caramelizing glazed doughnuts in a buttery bath, then mixing it with milk and heating the mixture until the flavors merge beautifully in a hot, sweet, very creamy broth. It's my easy-to-prepare take on a dessert served at Chicago's Moto, a restaurant revered in the world of molecular gastronomy.
Note: Of course, while not mandatory, it's far more adorable when garnished with mini doughnuts before serving.

About the author: Jessie Oleson is a Seattle-based writer, illustrator, gallery owner, and cake anthropologist who runs Cakespy, an award-winning dessert website. Her first book came out in October 2011; she is currently at work on her second book.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/4/2014 (1211 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I was sitting at a bar when I felt someone's eyes on my legs. I was wearing a fairly short skirt, but nothing inappropriate. I started to get annoyed and finally said, "What are you looking at?" and he replied, "I was just counting the beauty marks on your beautiful leg." One cheeky remark led to another; he was very funny, and I let him buy me "apology drinks." That led to wine and going into the hotel dining room for dinner and more wine and hours of conversation. Then the inevitable happened five floors up, looking out at the Golden Boy. Since I was in Winnipeg on a work trip, I thought the whole thing was very romantic and he was amazing.
He left at 3 a.m., saying he had to get a few hours sleep at home before work. I asked him for his home phone number and he hesitated, and gave me his card and cell number. I looked him up online and saw his weird last name with two initials at a residence, so now I know he's married. I'm so upset! He should have told me he was married. I told him I was single. Now it's all spoiled, even the memory of it. He owed me that honesty and didn't give it to me. I feel like phoning his wife. -- Taken For a Ride, Another Prairie City
Dear Furious: Leave his wife alone. Now is not the time for you to get huffy about morality. When he said nothing about his marital status, why didn't you ask him? Simple answer: you didn't want to know. If you did, the raunchy romance of that evening would have been spoiled, whether you did the wild thing or not. So either he had to blurt out the news about his marital status, or he could try to leave it alone. You bought into his silence.
Now let's talk about the gallons of wine you two imbibed. People become less intelligent and not so choosy when they're enjoying the fruits of the vine. Wisdom should start now with your taking responsibility for not asking him the big question, and drinking way too much. Then let this upset go, with a promise to yourself to always ask a guy early on if he already has a woman in his life.
Look at this honestly. The sad truth is you're disappointed, you actually liked this funny guy, and now there can be no more messing around. That's a good part of the reason why you're so mad.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I love my new husband, but not as much as I did when I married him six months ago. He's fun and cute, but I love him more like family now. We still have sex and it's good enough, but I'm finding myself attracted to a guy at the university where I work. It's a big attraction. I even dress up for him, go out of way to run into him and dream about him. Meanwhile, my husband has been getting fat and happy on my cooking, not that it should matter.
What does this mean about me? Did I marry the wrong guy or am I one of those shallow women who always wants what she can't have and will never be satisfied with a husband, no matter how nice? -- Nervous Bride, Winnipeg
Dear Nervous: When people are single, they often think nobody looks attractive, but the world seems full of attractive people once they're married and are supposed to stop looking around. You are a woman who loves the hunt, and it can go on right up to the wedding day. The bride wonders: will he actually show up? But then he does, and everything is OK until the honeymoon is over and the world becomes ordinary again. The mate has been caught.
This would be a good time to see a relationship counsellor, by yourself, and see if you can't work this issue out. As you suspect, the need to hunt could haunt you the rest of your life unless you examine it. Some women marry a guy who isn't totally in love with them so they're always chasing him, but that is a sad, insecure situation, especially if you want to have a happy family.
Please send your questions or comments c/o email@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

A bunch of shows will be hitting Cooking Channel in the next four week alone - Luke's Vietnam, Spice Goddess, Fresh Food Fast, Cook Like An Iron Chef, Caribbean Food Made Easy and more…
TWO BIG ANSWERS (for two commonly asked questions):
- HD: The HD version of Cooking Channel will be here very shortly.
- Metrics & Measurements: Some shows refer to measurements in metrics but all of the recipes here on this site have been converted and tested so they'll work for you.
We're striving to make Cooking Channel a great experience for food people and we have plenty of great stuff on tap for the rest of the year and beyond. That said, and since it's our one-month birthday anniversary, we thought we ask…
What programming would you like to see more of on the Channel?

CLOVERDALE — There's no place like home. The theme of the 50th
Cloverdale Community Club Carnival, "The Wizard of Oz," was certainly
evident during its celebration on Saturday at the village.
club, which is a private operation, was extensively damaged last
November as a result of an EF-2 tornado. The century-old building has
been rebuilt and improved; the carnival proceeds this year helped to
defray the cost of the project.
"Today was all about rebuilding
the Community Club," Cloverdale Mayor Judd Spencer related. "We
modernized it, and are purchasing new chairs and tables. We want to make
it more appealing."
Every day, someone has volunteered time and
talents to work on the building, according to Community Club President
Loretta Densmore. "Steve Peters has been working day and night for a
month, volunteering his time, to get the building ready for the
festival," she said.
Densmore and her committee began planning the
carnival in January. Activities this year included: a 50/50 raffle, a
silent auction, a dunk tank, a children's bounce castle and games, and
food. Densmore assembled a history of the carnival, which was displayed
at the front of the Community Club.
The highlight of the event was
the parade. Many of the 62 parade participants were recognized for
their assistance after the tornado, including neighboring volunteer fire
and rescue departments, the Putnam County Chapter of the Red Cross, and
the Ottoville Mothers' Club, which worked with the Cloverdale Task
Force to raise $16,543.13 for the village.
The Ottoville High
School "Big Green Pride" marching band and the Continental High School
marching band provided musical entertainment during the parade.
poignant moment occurred during the parade when the "Honorary Citizen of
the Year" was recognized. Drew Altenburger, who recently passed away,
was posthumously given the award. Mayor Spencer stopped the parade and
read an emotional tribute to the young man.
"Drew called this his
Cloverdale," the mayor recalled. "It was 'My town,' 'My church.' He told
me, 'We're gonna rebuild this.' (after the derecho and the tornado). No
one was more sincere and compassionate about Cloverdale.
When the storms came blowing through, so did Drew. He would ask me, 'Juddy, what's next?'
took on the battle of the church (St. Barbara's). He meticulously
dissected the church to recover artifacts. He took so much pride in it,"
Spencer told the audience.
The village presented two large
posters of Drew that had been created to commemorate the award. Drew's
father, Jim, accepted the honor.
The 2014 Prince and Princess,
Logan Winke and Olivia Hale were crowned in a ceremony at 6 p.m. They,
along with their court, raised $1,749 in ticket sales.
Later in the evening, The Duces Wild band entertained the carnival-goers.
"We are small but mighty," Spencer stated. "That's our motto. We want to keep our community thriving and healthy."

Tracy De Santa?
was this name leaked? or just speculation? If so, than we should really remove the last name until officially confirmed.
Her real name is Tracey, confirmed here:
"Michael - Once one of the most wanted men in America thanks to his reputation as a highly skilled bank robber, Michael is long retired, living in an informal witness protection program afforded to him by his powerful contacts inside federal agencies. Despite his success, Michael is miserable: he's in a loveless marriage to his wife Amanda and he's disconnected from his two spoiled children, Tracey and Jimmy. On the surface, Michael appears to have everything, but instead he's bored, frustrated and seething. Michael's only outlets are spending his days drinking whiskey, watching old Vinewood action movies, the occasional visit to his therapist – and ultimately, returning to the life of crime that brought him to this position in the first place. Michael lives in a well-appointed mansion, complete with swimming pool and tennis court in the upscale neighborhood of Rockford Hills."
- The article also says Lacy Jonas' name is "Lacey Jonas". Could it be only that the writer uses "ey"s instead of "y"s?Dodo8 Talk
It's Tracey not Tracy. On the artwork featuring her it is written like that.Dodo8 Talk
- Are you sure?Akismastro (talk) 07:16, July 14, 2013 (UTC)akismastro
- Yes it is written Tracey but what is if it is a typoAkismastro (talk) 14:38, July 14, 2013 (UTC)akismastro
How old is she?
I was just wondering how old she was, I think shes like 16 - 19. What do you guys think?
MW3GHOST (talk) 21:23, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
I think she might be 15 or 18 though, I think. :/ Cloudkit01 (talk) 21:34, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps... we'll see next week!
MW3GHOST (talk) 23:23, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
Update: I set her birth year to 1996, could be 1995 though. The year before said 1991, but I highly doubt she is 22 years old. That would make her older than Jimmy, and there was nothing to prove that anyway. She acts, looks, and is treated by every other character like a teenage girl rather than a 22 year old, and Michael mentions at the end of the game that she "got into college", so my bet is that she's a 17 or 18 year old high-school senior or a college freshman. Mhj0808 (talk) 22:02, November 11, 2013 (UTC)Mhj0808
- I reverted your edit. You have no evidence that she's 17. She says on Bleeter that she's 22 and there's absolutely nothing which contradicts that. Tom Talk 22:13, November 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Meh, ok then. She was probably lying about her age, buuuuut I'm just speculating. Mhj0808 (talk) 22:21, November 11, 2013 (UTC)Mhj0808
I doubt that Rockstar would put minors in the game, let alone be able to kill them. Carl Johnson Jr. (talk) 00:17, November 12, 2013 (UTC)
Tracey Suxx
I just finished playing the Fame or Shame mission (the one where Michael and Trevor chase Lazlow) and I heard the "Tracey Suxx" voicemail straight after finishing it, did this happen to anyone else?--Gboy4 (talk) 09:40, October 7, 2013 (UTC)
Deleted because of confusing wording.
Deleted the part in bold:
"It appears she does not have a very good relationship with her father and brother as in 'Friend Request he is shown roughhousing her for the T.V. remote. However, in Complications', she does admit to loving her brother."
First off who is "he" when talking about the TV remote? Answer: Her daddy. I don't see how fighting over the tv remote really captures the troubled relationship. If you provide more info on her relationship with her DAD [and specify that you are talking about her DAD] than maybe it can be done.
The 2nd sentence about her admitting to love her bro, I don't see how that sentence should even exist. Heyfunboy (talk) 15:39, November 15, 2013 (UTC)
Spoilers in Trivia?
So, does this wika use the "spoiler" tag? Otherwise, not sure if putting spoilers in a trivia section is a good idea, that being that killing main characters is an option. Especially since the trivia says she gets into college in lots of the endings, why does it matter that particular phone call occurs? AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 07:33, December 23, 2013 (UTC)
Breast implants
Does Tracey get implants during or maybe even before the storyline? Or are my eyes jacked up... Oh and i think i heard that she mentioned once she has implants.Swoooop (talk) 00:47, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, Tracey has implants. When driving erratically, she mentions that you could damage them. - Erik the Mad (talk) 22:29, January 17, 2016 (UTC)
Place of Birth
Is there anything proving her place of birth to be Ludendorff? - Universetwisters (talk) 20:14, March 11, 2017 (UTC)
- Nope, I agree it should be removed. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 21:31, March 11, 2017 (UTC)

I just got back from a trip to Miami to visit an old friend who is from Argentina. At his house, he threw us an Argetinian barbecue - I was completely amazed at how good it was. (It also helped that his family owns a winery, and each time he served a new cut of meat - he served a different bottle of wine from his stock)
The thing that amazed me the most was that he only used SALT as a seasoning. I asked him if we'd be making a chmichurri, but he said that purists only use salt - as you don't want to detract from the flavor of the beef.
He cooked 5 kinds of meats for us: Flank Steak, Skirt Steak, Short Ribs, Chorizo and Blood Sausages. All of it was cooked over a very low fire and each meat had its own unique flavor. When each was paired with an accompanying wine - it was the most fantastic meal I've had in years.
I noticed that the cuts of meat he had were not ones that I've seen at my local butcher shop. The flanks and skirts were enormous, and the short ribs were cut thick. He told me he got them at an Argentinian butcher in Miami. I live just North of Boston, so I doubt there are any Argentinian butchers up here.
If there are any native Argentinians on this board (or anyone who excels in Argentinian cooking), could you please reply and let me know how I can obtain these cuts from my butcher? My butcher is always willing to do custom cuts, but I need to desribe what I want. I'd love to learn more about how beef is cut in South America - as I'd love to start cooking this style myself.
PS - if you're looking for a great Argentinian wine to go with beef, check out the Gran Vecco from the Jaure Winery

Did you know?
The South African War's Battle of Elandslaagte was fought in this area in 1899.
The Nambiti Private Game Reserve is one of the newer kids on the block but is already giving the more famous and established private game reserves in KwaZulu-Natal a run for their money.
Nambiti Private Game Reserve was born when the vision of an individual who had always dreamed of owning a game reserve became a reality over a decade ago.
Rob le Sueur, whose dream it was, rode around the Elandslaagte area near some of the legendary battlefields of the South African and Anglo-Zulu wars in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal. He began buying up failing farms and eventually consolidated 18 farms into what is now one conservancy – the Nambiti Private Game Reserve.
Today the area has been transformed into its original pristine condition, where grassy plains, rocky kloofs, deep forest and rivers provide shelter not only for the Big Five, but scores of other game and hundreds of birds.
Nambiti has now become a favourite safari destination for local and international visitors alike, not only for the Big Five experience, but also because of its affordability and ease of access from Johannesburg and Durban, giving Nambiti an advantage over some of the more remote KwaZulu-Natal game reserves.
There's a choice of nine lodges in which to stay, all of them different, but all top class luxury. Lions Valley Lodge has some of the most interesting and exciting safari accommodation of any South African lodge.
Choose between the Spaza Suite, themed in a very upmarket way after a township spaza or informal trading store, the evocative Mandela Suite with pop-art pictures of Madiba, the Zebra Suite (which will bedazzle you with stripes) and, for the history buff, the Elandslaagte Suite, based on a Soth African War battle fought in the area.
Esiweni Lodge, on the other hand, is all about location, location, location. Esiweni means 'perched on a high cliff' in Zulu, and that's exactly where it is, dramatically situated overlooking the Sundays River.

Dr Ann Hansford
Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Taxation
+44 (0) 1392 726677
Streatham Court, University of Exeter, Rennes Drive, Exeter, EX4 4PU, UK
Dr Ann Hansford joined the University of Exeter Business School in 2012 following 15 years in academic posts. Prior to that Ann was a tax manager dealing with practical tax issues for a range of clients from high net worth individuals to multinational companies.
This varied background is reflected in her current research interests that build on the extensive collaborative research work she has done with international academic colleagues. The study she is engaged in currently focuses on the management of tax risk and in particular the impact of the recent significant changes in the assessment of reputational risk for large multinational companies. In addition there have been multi-country investigations into tax compliance costs with data being collected with colleagues on four continents. Ann was a visiting Research Fellow at ATAX, University of NSW, Sydney and she spent a sabbatical there in 2007.
Retaining and nurturing working relationships with former business associates is an important aspect of her work and this has resulted in a variety of collaborative research projects with professional organisations such as the UK Chartered Tax Advisers, ACCA and CIMA, the UK HMRC, formerly the Inland Revenue and HM Customs & Excise, together with the UK National Audit Office.
Taking research into lecture halls and tutorial rooms has always been a guiding principle in her approach to a rounded academia career and her courses from basic tax for second year students, through final year and Masters students together with international MBA students, has enabled her research to be considered by a wide, thoughtful and critical audience beyond academic journals and the research conference circuit.

Research interests
- Management of tax risk
- Reputational risk for multinational companies
- International tax compliance costs
Current research activity
The study into the management of tax risk has involved interviews annually since 2013 with leading Tax Directors and is being undertaken with colleagues from the organisational behaviour department and a leading former tax practitioner. This qualitative study has been able to monitor and reflect upon the significant changes that have occurred over the last 3 years.
Concerns about reputational risk and the related governance issues following the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearings in 2013 have resulted in the data in the research study being of particular relevance to understanding how companies are, and will be, responding to these recent changes.
Tax compliance costs are often referred to as the 'hidden costs' of a tax system. Governments may claim to be reducing the burden on business and cutting 'red tape' but the reality experienced by companies, large and small, and individuals is often contrary to that. Our work has been on going for over ten years so that enables a longitudinal assessment as well as a cross country assessment of these costs.

Working with undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA students is a privilege. Tax can sometimes feel a very alien subject to second year undergraduate students and so the context of what is involved, and why, needs to be established right from the start. The technical aspects resulting from the annual cycle of tax changes can then be appreciated fully together with the political dimension created by the Chancellor's annual budget.
Final year undergraduates can build on the introductory course that focuses on UK tax and consider more international issues and so see where tax fits in for multi national enterprises. Current research involving international collaborators is a very interesting extension at this level of study.
Studying tax on an MBA course enables students to bring their own business situations to the class for discussion and debate. Current research is often applied to these practical situations that often involve investigating tax systems to decide on an optimal location. Students complete the course with their business issues considered by an informed, thoughtful and constructively critical audience.

Ciuffo dazzles behind plate in NHSI opener
CARY, N.C. -- There's a picture in the Ciuffo family album that speaks volumes about where son Nick is today. It's a summer vacation shot at the beach. Dad Tony is pictured, as one would expect, in a bathing suit. Nick, age 3 or 4, is decked out in full catching gear.
It surprises no one, then, that Nick Ciuffo is one of the top catching prospects in the Draft class of 2013. The Lexington (S.C.) High School star, ranked No. 33 on MLB.com's Top 50 Draft Prospects list, is here at USA Baseball's National Training Complex competing in the second annual National High School Invitational. Ciuffo, of course, drove in a big run in Lexington's 4-0 win over Florida Christian in the opener on Wednesday and threw out a runner from behind the plate.
"I've always been a catcher," Ciuffo said. "I've played shortstop, but it wasn't fun for me. I like to be in every single pitch."
Ciuffo is no stranger to playing here at USA Baseball's facilities. He played for the 16 and Under National team in 2011, winning gold at the IBAF World Youth Championships. Ciuffo's experience last summer, however, wasn't as storybook. He was here for the Tournament of Stars and made the 18 and Under trial team. But when Ciuffo had to deal with arm soreness, he was cut and left off the final roster that went on to win the first 18U world championship for the U.S. since 1999.
"It's awesome to be back here," Ciuffo said. "Cary is a great place. The people in the community are great. The people at USA Baseball are great. It's a first-class program here. I told the guys, 'Let's try to make this one end better than it did for me this summer.'"
The scores of scouts in attendance for the NHSI watched Ciuffo intently on Wednesday afternoon and while the game was fairly uneventful, he did post a sub-2.00 second pop time (the time from the pitch hitting his mitt to getting down to second base) when throwing out that baserunner. The attention was nothing new for Ciuffo, who's been "a guy" for a while now. A natural leader -- Lexington coach Brian Hucks calls him the team's heartbeat -- the left-handed-hitting catcher has helped put his team at ease under a brighter spotlight.
"I tell them they're not here for me, they're not here for any of them, they're here for our guy who hits infield, to watch him hit popups," said Ciuffo, who first got used to the extra eyes when catching eventual sixth-round pick Drew Cisco as a freshman at Wando High School back in 2010. "We try not to pay attention to it too much."
It's not going to go away any time soon, as Ciuffo has the chance to be one of a group of elite high school catchers taken early on Draft day. Another one of them, Chris Okey (No. 45), is also at the NHSI with Eustis High School from Florida. So is Jeremy Martinez (No. 50) from Mater Dei. He played with Reese McGuire (No. 30) on that 18U national team over the summer. Jon Denney (No. 10) rounds out a very good crop of prep catchers in this year's class. Ciuffo loves the competition and the inevitable comparisons that have come.
"I've been compared to guys my whole life," Ciuffo said. "I try to compare myself to guys to see what I have to work on. If there's something Okey's doing better than me, or something McGuire can do better, then I want to work on those things."
That "get better every day" attitude is serving him well as the heat of the Draft starts to intensify. Ciuffo knows it's there, but the University of South Carolina commit figures that whatever happens comes June, he's going to be a happy young ballplayer.
"The Draft is the farthest thing from my mind," Ciuffo said. "If I get drafted and sign, that's great. If not, I go to South Carolina. It's a win-win for me. I play for the best team in the country or I get paid to play the game I love."
And that's not until June. It's not a scenario he wants to even consider now, not with a state title to win and, more short-term, a strong showing here at the NHSI on his agenda.
"If I can help the team win, that's all that matters," Ciuffo said. "If I go 0-for-4, but I do things to help us win behind the plate, I won't be thrilled, but I'm OK with that. I want to get four wins here and go home with a trophy."

P&G (Procter & Gamble) have been offering all kinds of products, probably our entire lives, to help make life a little bit easier, better smelling, and cleaner. A lot of their stuff has been in my home for a very long time.

She gave us styling tips and trends for spring. I will admit, I find it hard to agree with some of the "styling tips" out there, but she did hit on my favorite black and white trend. She even shared a few of her favorite P&G products with us. And I was loving her outfit.
Afterwards, we were able to check a few of the items she brought with her. She made me want to go shopping!

P&G also sent me a box filled with goodies (below).

And they even gave me a Target gift card, so I can go out and buy myself a few spring goodies. Yeah…I already spent that bad boy! Make sure you check out the giveaway below!!

"I got these to go with my "earthy leaves" invitation suite. There were only 4 color options listed, so I figured they only came in those colors, so I had just picked black. But when my digital proof came back, they had given me two other options that went with my 'rich red' color scheme. I was not expecting to be offered other color options, and loved the liberty and assumption the designer took in offering me different colors that went with my invites instead of black. Needless to say, I was impressed and very happy with this product and the service and the attention to detail that the designer took."
"This saved me having To write out out address on every thank you card and I ordered extra to add to birthday cards, etc. The brunch plate is simple and sophisticated. Perfect"
"Do yourself a favor and get address labels - my fiancee and I were so glad that we did! These matched our save the dates perfectly and made them complete - not to mention saved time addressing to our family and friends! Customer service was A+."
"I used these labels for greeting cards I printed and put together myself, and the label just literally tied it all together and had a great impact on a simple, plain envelope"
"I love this design and it came very fast, but I wish it were a bit smaller. They are too big to put on the front, so I put them on the back of the envelope."

ADDISON COUNTY — As area counselors, police and health care professionals see a drug problem that they said is getting worse (see story) some authorities said the drug problem is bringing a different kind of misery and tragedy to the county.

VERGENNES — Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel spoke to the Vergennes Lions at their meeting on Dec. 4. He commented that he is working with "some of the best police officers he has ever known." He commented that they work hard and take offenses personally, trying hard to solve whatever crime has taken place. He said there are 10 officers (six full-time and four part-time) plus one dog in the department. He said a number of his officers are course instructors for many different aspects of police work.
ADDISON — Close to 100 residents of Addison and other local towns attended the second of two forums this year dedicated to the frustrating problem of home break-ins, and this time they heard at least some good news from the dozen law enforcement officials on hand, including Vermont Commissioner of Public Safety Keith Flynn and Col. Thomas L'Esperance, director of the Vermont State Police.
It's no secret St. Albans has a drug problem. But the problem can't be localized. It's not a St. Albans problem. It's a Vermont problem, and its tentacles reach into every alley corner, every hamlet, every city in the state. For verification, all one has to do is to read the court report, talk to any of the folks involved in law enforcement, or, saddest of all, talk to those within the medical community. It's pandemic.
ADDISON — Vermont State Police have collared a man they believe might be responsible for dozens of burglaries that have occurred in Addison County since the beginning of this year.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police are looking for an armed man who robbed the Marble Works Pharmacy of an undisclosed amount of prescription drugs at around 5:50 p.m. on Wednesday, July 24.
ADDISON COUNTY — Most Addison County police agencies continue to report increases in drug-related crime, activity that takes a lot of time and resources to investigate during a time when resources are in short supply.
ADDISON — When Addison resident Michele Kelly and her husband, Charles, moved to Vermont from Philadelphia a number of years ago, they didn't foresee themselves in the middle of a crime wave.
But their home is just one of nearly a dozen in Addison — several in the past couple weeks — and many more in surrounding towns from which burglars in the past year have stolen, usually during daylight hours, items like jewelry, cameras, watches, computers, prescription drugs and family heirlooms.
FERRISBURGH — Vergennes police on Tuesday with the assistance of Vermont State and Bristol police arrested two men at a Ferrisburgh traffic stop and filed multiple drug charges against them, including sale and trafficking of heroin on one of the two and sale of heroin and possession of marijuana on the other.
According to a press release from Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel, Todd Green, 23, of Philadelphia was cited for both sale and trafficking of heroin and for providing false information to a police officer.
STARKSBORO — Police have seized drugs, cash and guns in Starksboro and arrested four people on various charges including possession and trafficking of drugs.
Vergennes police announced on Saturday morning that they, with the assistance of the Vermont State Police operating out of the New Haven barracks, had executed a search warrant on an apartment located at 132 Big Hollow Road in Starksboro.

- Secret Service scandal sheds light on sex tourism in Latin America
Secret Service scandal sheds light on sex tourism in Latin America
By Sara Miller Llana
Type in "sex tourism" and "Brazil" in Google, and the first site that comes up is not a news report or academic study, but advice on going rates and how to hire prostitutes.
But ahead of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, officials are starting to clamp down on the country's image as a haven for sex tourism. Brazil's Tourism Ministry recently said it identified more than 2,000 sites advertising the South American giant's sex industry, many of them hosted in the US. To counter the reputation, the tourism ministry has stepped up efforts to advertise Brazil's natural beauties like beaches and the Amazon, instead of bodies for sale. And they have circulated information reminding visitors that sexual exploitation of minors is a crime.
Brazil's preventive efforts seem more crucial than ever after the scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, during the Sixth Summit of the Americas last weekend. Some 11 US Secret Service agents were sent home for allegedly hiring prostitutes in the steamy colonial city, also a major destination for sex tourism.
"Large events create an obvious clientele and traffickers recognize an opportunity to make money," says Heather Smith-Cannoy, who teaches international relations at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
"I think that in many places around the world there is a 'boys will be boys' attitude about the patronizing of prostitutes," Ms. Smith-Cannoy says. But when considering the combination of large profits for traffickers, and pimps or hustlers, and a relaxed cultural attitude about visiting prostitutes "we can begin to understand both the supply and the demand side of this industry," says Smith-Cannoy.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a navigational hazard at Mile Point, near the mouth of the St. Johns River, has received approval, a critical step toward congressional authorization of funding improvements.
The confluence of the St. Johns River with the Intracoastal Waterway known as Mile Point creates difficult crosscurrents on the ebb tide. Large ships only have two four-hour windows to get in and out of Mile Point because of the currents.
"Everyone in Jacksonville who cares about the economic vitality of this region will mark this important day," said Paul Anderson, CEO of the Jacksonville Port Authority "The Army Corps' approval of the Mile Point project moves us considerably closer to ensuring we maintain the valuable port business that we have today and build on that by leaps and bounds for the future."
The corps' recommended plan combines relocation/reconfiguration of the existing training wall, restoration of Great Marsh Island, and the creation of a flow improvement channel in Chicopit Bay at an estimated cost of $36.5 million, which is to be 65 percent funded by the federal government and 35 percent by local money.
"This is a tremendous milestone for this project," said Jerry Scarborough, chief of the corps' Water Resources Branch. "This significant step allows us to officially submit the report to Congress for authorization."
The Jacksonville Port Authority says that for every ship that makes its way through Mile Point on the St. Johns River, there are others that pass the River City by because of the restrictive stretch of river.
The port is the second-largest employer in Jacksonville, and it doesn't want to lose jobs. Officials say JaxPort is already missing out on getting billion-dollar contracts because it can't get the river dredged.
"We owe Congresswoman Brown, Congressman Mica, Congressman Crenshaw, Congressman Stearns, and Senator Nelson our gratitude for their leadership on this critical achievement," Anderson said. "We are focused on working with the Corps to expedite this minor, but significant project to maximize the growth of jobs critical to our continued national economic recovery."

Is teaching multicultural texts enough to prepare students for modern world?
Searching for new and exciting ways to inspire student energy has always been an instructional focus of mine. The notion of authentic student products and presentations has been a driving mechanism in the middle and high schools where I have worked, so my challenge with every unit has focused on real-world connections. An inspiring principal I used to work with often said, "Teachers do the best they can with what they know." As I reflect on my work the past year, this statement certainly rings true of my own work. I can honestly say I didn't know what I didn't know. I designed engaging units with project-based products and frequently brought multicultural texts into my literature classes. Last January, I was honored to be recognized as a 2013 NEA Foundation- Pearson Global Fellow. It was exciting to be recognized for excellence in teaching. For me, this selection was directly tied to the curriculum work I had accomplished at a district and state level. I entered the Fellowship thinking I was on the right educational track, and in many ways I was moving in the right direction, just much more slowly than I realized.
As a part of the fellowship program, I was submerged in educational conversations about global perspectives and global competencies. Prior to this I had believed teaching multicultural texts was enough to prepare my students for the modern world. While diverse texts can inspire students to broaden their perspectives, this alone does not generate a passion for global citizenship. Our key Fellowship experience was visiting a variety of schools in Brazil, learning about the educational challenges Brazilian teachers and students encounter as they strive to create quality learning experiences. The students' energy was captivating and I found myself wondering how I could inspire my students to be curious about the world. As I started reviewing my units and lessons for the start of another school year, I finally realized how much of my material was focused on the American perspective.
While I still believe there is value in national pride and identity, I now want my students to be able to step back and consider issues from a global perspective. I designed "The Power of Homelands" as my first unit introducing the challenges of global citizenship to students in my world literature class. This mini unit introduces diaspora literature, exploring the struggles and experiences of those populations displaced from their homelands. The mini unit is scheduled for an entire week because I felt I would need time to establish students' feelings about their own homes, build empathetic conversation about the importance of homes, and reveal current global problems related to population displacement. After establishing these foundations, I would then be able to launch into compelling world literature, connecting students to many global issues throughout the term.
I began my world literature class this year with "The Power of Homelands" and I have been absolutely inspired by my students' responses. Not only have they become curious about the world, but they are centrally interested in making a difference. They have greater appreciation for American culture, but also deep respect for the cultures we have studied. My students are interested in the world, along with its strengths and weaknesses. They want to find ways to contribute to global success. They do not view the global stage as an area of competition, but an arena for unlimited problem solving. Now I find myself searching for ways to keep up with their global thinking; an instructional challenge that is truly rewarding.

I enjoyed reading your blog and look forward to reading through your lesson plans/ideas. Have you heard of BYkids: Their World Their Films? The organization focuses on finding kids from different cultures and giving them video making equipment to tell their stories. While reading through your blog, I thought about one of the BYkids videos called "Displaced, But Not Defeated". Here is the link to the trailer on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MidkANePXMw. This film is the story of a young Colombian girl who is pushed from her family's land because of the Drug Wars. I think this will really be a neat addition to your thoughts about diasplora literature. I hope to look more into this particular genre, myself.
Last summer, I was fortunate to meet the founder of BYkids. Her name is Holly Carter. This organization is open to teacher feedback. Often, they send you new films to preview. You can contact them: www.BYkids.org or firstname.lastname@example.com.
What age do you teach? I am a 7th grade ELA teacher from New Mexico. Have you joined the middle school group yet? I hope to share more ideas with you. Thank you for sharing your ideas!

Preparing for CDC/504 Servicing
What Services do the Commercial Loan Centers (CLCs) Provide?
The Commercial Loan Centers (CLCs) address servicing and workout request on lender serviced loans as well as XGP and 504 loan servicing issues. Commercial Loan Centers (CLCs) also address liquidation requests for lender serviced SBAExpress (including Community Express) and 504 loans.
All liquidation and guaranty purchase request for regular 7(a) Business Loan (including LOWDOC loans) are addressed by the National Guaranty Purchase Center (NGPC).
Each month, the commercial loan service center receives hundreds of loan servicing actions which can be processed under the lender's delegated unilateral servicing authority. Many common unilateral servicing actions do not require any sort of submission to SBA. This is based upon the SBA loan servicing regulations (13 CFR §§ 120.535 and 120.536) which went into effect May 10, 2007 (SBA notice 5000-1017).
We have developed a handy guide to assist you on what actions require submission to the Center.
Click to View the Lender Matrix for Servicing and Liquidation Actions
Your Servicing Request May Require All or a Portion of the Following Items
A statement of the proposed action and a brief description of what makes the request necessary.
Status of the SBA loan (date and amount funded, current balance and status). Identification of obligor.
A summary of the analysis of the business, including analysis of financial statements.
Before and after collateral analysis, for action that affect the collateral. (collateral now and what it would be if request were approved)
Summary of prior servicing experience with the borrower, e.g., loan modifications and/or problems pertinent to the request.
Identification of guarantors/co-makers and a statement as to whether their consent has been or will be obtained for the action.
A Summary of the impact/benefit of the action on the business.
Will the proposed action address the needs or solve the problems of the business?
Will the action protect the interest of the lender/CDC and SBA?
A Servicing Checklist for certain PLP/SBAExpress and LowDoc servicing requests may be submitted in order to facilitate review.
Further instructions and guidance on submitting servicing requests can be found in our Servicing Guideline Booklet and SOP 50-50-4. In 2004 SBA implemented streamlined loan servicing, actions that have been fully delegated to 7a lenders (See Fresno CLC Letter or Little Rock CLC Letter) or Certified Development Companies (CDCs) should not require either a notification to or a response from SBA. For details of the streamlined procedure please see SBA Procedural Notice 5000-917.
For those CDC actions requiring SBA approval, common loan servicing request templates may be submitted in order to facilitate review
Common Servicing Requests
Other common servicing requests include:
Loans that have been erroneously reported as Paid in Full.
Loans that have been cancelled due to non payment of SBA guaranty fee.
How to Request a Servicing Action
A clear and concise cover letter drawn from information in the lender internal credit memorandum generally suffices as the servicing request to us. If the cover letter addresses the request and describes the supporting analysis, you do not need to submit additional information. The SBA reserves the right to request additional information as individual circumstances require.
When submitting by fax or email to the Commercial Loan Centers actions that involve complex credit or collateral issues, it would be beneficial to include the lender internal credit memorandum with the servicing request. If the credit memo includes your analysis of the borrower's financial statements, (servicing action supporting schedule) please do not submit to us a copy of the financial statements. Similarly, if your credit memo describes the collateral analysis and basis for collateral valuation, please do not submit to us copies of appraisals or other documents related to collateral.
In general, servicing requests must address a common set of elements. These elements allow the lender and SBA to quickly understand the request, the status of the SBA loan(s), the condition of the borrower's business and other factors important to the decision.
What if I Have Questions Concerning my Servicing Request?
Please feel free to contact us via email, fax or phone if you have questions. Our hours are 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday – Friday.

USA vs. Germany - The First Women's World Cup Semifinal Match
USA vs. Germany. This isn't the first time the two teams have met in the Women's World Cup semifinals. Twelve years ago the two teams played a match that has become part of U.S. Women's Soccer lore.
The match between the USA and Germany in the first semifinal of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2003 carries with it some historical significance. On November 27, 1991, in front of 15,000 fans on a steamy night at the Guangdong Provincial Stadium in Guangzhou, China, the USA and Germany met in a semifinal of the first Women's World Cup. The upstart Americans, new to the international stage, were underdogs to the vaunted Germans, but the USA pulled off one of its most impressive victories behind one of the greatest performances in U.S. Soccer history as Carin Jennings scored three goals in the 5-2 victory.
Jennings opened the scoring in just the 10th minute, and then added goals in the 22nd and 33rd minutes before the Germans finally countered through a goal from legend Heidi Mohr in the 34th minute. Current U.S. head coach April Heinrichs sealed the game with goals in the 54th and 75th minutes, sandwiched around a score from Bettina Wiegmann in the 63rd, to send the USA to the championship match. Jennings, now Carin Gabarra, would go on to win the Golden Ball as the most valuable player in the tournament.
Four players from the USA's starting lineup in 1991 should start for the USA at PGE Park in Portland, Ore., almost 12 years later, in a game that matches perhaps the two best teams in this tournament. A 19-year-old Mia Hamm started in the midfield in that 1991 match along with a then 20-year-old Julie Foudy and 20-year-old Kristine Lilly. A 23-year-old Joy Fawcett started in the back. Heinrichs, at forward, captained the team in that game.
Only one German player who will play in Sunday's contest was on the field for the match Guangzhou, that being former Boston Breaker Wiegmann, but Silvia Neid, currently Germany's assistant coach, was on the bench that night.
Ironically, this Women's World Cup was set for China before the SARS outbreak forced the relocation of the tournament, meaning this USA-Germany semifinal could have carried even more tinges of nostalgia.
U.S. captain Julie Foudy is not renowned for her razor-sharp memory of past games, especially ones that occurred over a decade ago, but she does remember one thing.
"I just remember Carin scoring every goal, didn't she?" said Foudy. "We put some great pressure on their back line and they coughed up a lot of balls. Our front three was awesome."
That front-three of Heinrichs, Jennings and Michelle Akers, dubbed the "Triple-Edge Sword" by the Chinese media would lead the USA to the first-ever Women's World Cup title.
The trio of forwards in 2003, Mia Hamm, and 5-foot-11 strikers Cindy Parlow and Abby Wambach, may be more like a "three-sided club" than a sword, by they have been equally as effective, scoring seven goals between them over four matches.
The USA will need their forwards to step up once again, plus a tremendous team effort on defense to slow what is a brilliant and creative German attack.
The USA and Germany met in the 1999 Women's World Cup, albeit in the quarterfinals, and the USA pulled off a dramatic 3-2 victory, coming from behind twice to win the match in front of then-President Clinton and his family at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium outside of Washington, D.C.
The USA and Germany actually squared off in a semifinal of the 2002 FIFA Under-19 World Championships in Edmonton, Canada, with the USA coming away with a 4-1 victory after going down a goal in the first half.
Needless to say, this meeting is filled with tradition and emotion for both countries and is sure to be another epic clash in the long history of these two women's soccer powerhouses.

CLINTON — Leaning against a brick wall in the East Feliciana High School gym, Urhonda Beckwith snapped to attention Wednesday at the marimba ringtone chirping from her iPhone.
Urhonda grinned, glancing over at her son, linebacker Kendell Beckwith, the top prospect in Louisiana. She tilted her phone to show him the caller: LSU recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson. At 8:14 a.m. on National Signing Day, Wilson wanted to know where Beckwith's signature was.
Instead of answering, Urhonda handed the phone to Kendell, who swiped his thumb across the screen and raised it to his ear.
"What's up, Old School?" Beckwith asked.
Thirty seconds of silence followed, and Beckwith's smirk flattened. Wilson, long considered one of the nation's best recruiters, was curious as to the hold-up.
Beckwith's presence in the gym was the best answer. He'd been sitting behind a desk for an hour, watching highlights of his teammates. Now, pulling the phone away, Kendell handed it over to Urhonda, who took her turn pacing and listening intently to Wilson.
"We're going to get it in to you," Urhonda said.
Kendell, clad in khakis, a white shirt and gold tie under a purple sweater-vest, propped himself against the wall. He glanced over to his father, Wendell Beckwith, who could only shake his head as he filled in the door frame to the gym.
As it turned out, Wilson's nudging call was for the sake of viewers on ESPN, which had Holly Rowe at LSU's Football Operations Center, embedded with coach Les Miles' staff as his recruiting class filled out.
"He said they're on TV right now waiting," Kendell said to his father.
"Are you serious?" Wendell answered.
For Kendell Beckwith, who selected LSU over Alabama on Jan. 4, his morning unfolded with an easy routine. He fed his horse. He got dressed. He needled his younger brother. Eventually, he made his decision official.
"I try to be low key. I'm not for all the attention too much," Beckwith said. "I ain't ever been that type of guy."
Quiet morning
Two hours earlier, Urhonda stepped out of the kitchen, turned left and softly knocked three times on the door to wake Kendell for his chief morning chore: feeding his filly, Spirit.
Turning into the serpentine driveway toward the Beckwiths' home, a glimpse to the left shows a silvery white creature illuminated in early dawn, behind wire fence. Tending to Spirit is a welcome pastime.
"I just grew up loving them from birth," he said, referring to horses. "I couldn't even tell you when it really started.
Beckwith shuffled into the kitchen in black Nike slip-on sandals, black shocks, gray sweatpants and a purple longsleeve LSU shirt. He pulled open the back door and crossed the carport to a small garage behind the house.
A minute later, Beckwith efficiently prepared Spirit's morning meal. He grabbed a dark green bucket and set it next to small bales of hay. Twenty yards away, Spirit let out a neigh, sensing chowtime. Next, Kendell poured in enough feed to line the bottom, then pulled two fistfuls of hay from the bale and laid them in the bucket.
"We let her out, but she don't go nowhere," Kendell said later. "She just hangs around the house. Every time I go outside, she comes up to me and I just feed her a peppermint or an apple."
Quietly, he shuffled up the gravel driveway to a bin near the corner of the fenced pen, slowly pouring Spirit's meal into a half-circle container.
He didn't talk to her. He only watched her take the first couple of chomps to get started before he spun on his heel and trudged back to the house, dropping off the bucket along the way.
Odd as it sounds in hindsight, Spirit was a major hint that Beckwith probably wouldn't venture four or five hours away to Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Alabama or LSU?
Ten months ago, Beckwith was leaning toward the Crimson Tide.
"They've got a certain track, and they'll hold you to that," Beckwith said of Nick Saban and his fabled process. "If you do that, you'll almost put yourself in a position to be in the NFL."
The recruitment of Kendell took on the same meaning: Losing the state's best recruit would put a serious dent in the notion that Miles & Co. had erected a fence around the talent-rich state, particularly along Interstate 10 corridor. By last summer, Kendell admitted he was conflicted after attending each team's individual camps in June.
Yet Wendell professed to have early insight into his son's ultimate choice: deciding to breed Spirit. With a foal slated to arrive in May, Wendell couldn't see his middle son venturing off to Alabama and leaving behind his chief responsibility.
"You ain't got nothing to worry about," Wendell recalled telling LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis this summer.
Despite Alabama's early allure, Kendell slowly gravitated back toward LSU, growing comfortable with the idea of playing linebacker in Chavis' 4-3 defense, the fact he could study forestry as part of the school's agriculture program and the 45-minute drive from Clinton.
"It was a good visit (to Alabama), but it just wasn't for me," Beckwith said. "Four hours wasn't really that bad, but I've got one an hour away. They're basically the same schools, similar programs, but just different styles."
'We have a problem'
At 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, though, there was the small matter of binding Kendell to LSU for the next four years.
Filing into the main office, Wendell settled into a folding chair near the door. Kendell sat on an old desk near the faculty mailboxes. Urhonda and Anderson were close in tow, shuffling through papers for the Beckwith clan to sign.
"You have your copies?" Anderson asked Urhonda.
Urhonda paused. She furrowed her brow and pondered the question before the potentially groan-inducing answer spilled out. She sighed.
"I left it at the house," she said.
Wendell chuckled, and Kendell drooped his head before frowning. It's a 40-minute round trip. And, seemingly on cue, Urhonda's phone rang again. It was Frank Wilson.
"Coach, we have a problem," Urhonda told him. "Could you fax or email some blank scholarship papers?"
Hanging up, Urhonda told Anderson they need to go grab the letter of intent, scholarship agreement and other papers off her email as an attachment.
"They're going to be so mad at you," Kendell said, needling his mother. Urhonda shot back with a stare.
Earlier in the morning, though, Urhonda doted on her son.
Standing in the middle of his bedroom, Beckwith finished stuffing his shirttail into a pair of khakis. Beckwith adjusted his tie, then pulled on a purple sweater-vest, an LSU logo on the left breast.
The process of selecting shoes consumed the next 10 minutes, drawing critiques from Urhonda and Justin. This is no small matter, because Beckwith is a self-admitted sneaker-head whose closet is filled top-to-bottom with orange Nike shoeboxes.
He emerged with the boat shoes.
"That looks nice," Urhonda said of the throwback basketball shoe.
Making it official
In the main office at East Feliciana High, Anderson finally handed Kendell his paperwork.
Getting to that point was a pain.
First, the printer in his own office didn't work. Neither did a second one in the office, and the printer necessary for copies ran low on ink. However, the paper was legible enough to read, grasp and sign.
"Is it time to sign?" Kendell asked his coach.
"Yeah, it is," Anderson answered.
"I changed my mind," Kendell joked. Then he took the blue Bic pen in his right hand.
This gag wasn't too far off from one he pulled on his parents a week before playing in the Under Armor All-America Game, where he assembled the entire family — including brother Wendell Beckwith, who was home from Tulane — to let them know his ultimate decision.
"At first, I told them it was Alabama," Beckwith said, "just to see how they reacted."
The bit failed, and Kendell quickly came clean: He was staying put and heading to Baton Rouge.
Wednesday morning, Kendell knelt over each piece of paper and signed deliberately. First, the scholarship agreement. Second, a document from the SEC attesting to a grant-in-aid being awarded. And finally, his letter of intent.
"It's like you're about to buy a house," Linda Wicker, the office secretary cracked.
"Close to it," Urhonda said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jaguars fans who want to witness Jacksonville take on the San Francisco 49ers in London next October better start saving their pennies now.
"Everything is more expensive, in general: clothing, hotels, food -- that's just the way it is, exchange rate and all," Discount Travel agent Steve Crandall said of prices in the United Kingdom.
Crandall said fans will have to do their homework to find reasonably priced flights and hotels. He said it's still too early to book reservations -- they can only be made 330 days out -- but a flight will cost nearly $1,000.
"High $900s for weekday travels and $30 more each way for weekend, that includes all the taxes and fees," Crandall said. "United Kingdom has probably the highest taxes of anywhere in the world to fly in and out of."
As for hotel accommodations, a room can run anywhere from $100 to $500 a night, but don't expect European rooms to resemble those in the U.S.
"They got to realize, too, that a lot of hotels over there are twin beds, or one bed and you don't get the two big double beds like a lot of hotels here," Crandall said. "If you do, you're going to pay for it."
Crandall said rather than fly overseas for just a few days, fans should wrap an entire week around the Jaguars game, which many locals hope will make them proud by chalking up an overseas victory.
Crandall said there's always the possibility that some hotels may offer deals for fans as the game nears.

A BIG-HEARTED girl of nine waved goodbye to her prized locks in order to help poorly children who do not have hair of their own.
Kerry Rutherford underwent the drastic makeover after being touched by the plight of young people helped by the Little Princess Trust.
The charity provides wigs for children who suffer hair loss due to cancer treatment, which can be a deeply upsetting experience.
Kerry, from Toothill, had 10 inches of her hair cut off at Hair Works in Freshbrook Village Centre – and was left with a couple of inches in a short bob.
"It feels weird but it's been worth it," she said. "I wanted to do something to help other children who don't have hair of their own."
Kerry's mum Paula gave the new look her full approval as she watched it take shape on Saturday.
Paula, 36, said: "I'm speechless, but I'm also very proud as her hair was very long and it's quite a big thing for her to do.
"She saw the trust online and she wanted to do something straight away. Her hair will now be made into a wig for another child to wear.
"I don't think she will miss it too much because she swims five times a week with Swindon Dolphin and she is always having to cram it into a swim hat.
"This way she will be able to help another child."
Hair Works already supports the trust and staff do whatever they can to support the cause.
Kerry's hair was put into a giant pony tail which was given the snip during the appointment.
Hairdresser Anne Pileggi said: "It looks fine and she seems quite happy. There's about two inches left in a bob, which she will need to get used to, but it went well."
The trust has an arrangement whereby donations of hair are sent to a factory in China by a contact in the UK. In return the charity receives a large number of wigs, which normally cost up to £2,000 each, to use for free.

Help Kiribati Stone Warriors Fight, Save it from Sinking
by Natan Itonga and Akatsuki Takahashi
Kiribati is a nation of around 100,000 people who live on a raised coral island and 33 atolls. It is one of the low-laying islands in the Pacific with its highest point of just three metres above sea level.
The country is one of the islands that have been most seriously threatened by climate change effects. A further sea level rise of only one metre would make a big impact on the life of inhabitants on the atolls.
As such, the outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference held in December last year in Durban, South Africa was disappointing since the Conference concluded with an agreement for further talks on a new climate change agreement with legal force by 2015 to be ratified by 2020.
"There is no time to waste," Pelenise Alofa, a member of the Kiribati Climate Action Network stated in the Weekend Observer, 7 January 2012.
"We need to build more seawalls and work on water projects. The biggest threat to Kiribati is coastal erosion and water salinisation. We need to address these problems before 2020," she said.
While the international community is delaying actions, the country of Kiribati in itself is at risk of disappearing together with its peoples and their memory.
In a November 2011 statement of Ambassador Dessima Williams, Chair of the Small Island State Alliance, which represents 39 small island nations in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and twenty-eight percent of developing countries, she asserted: "If Durban puts off a legally binding agreement and closes the door on raising mitigation ambition before 2020 many of our small island states will be literary and figuratively doomed."
"As noted by the International Energy Agency, delaying action until 2017 would close the door to any hope of keeping warming below 2C and put humanity on a course to the devastation of 4C warming and many metres of sea level rise.
"The proposed 2020 timeline would also leave more than five years between the next report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC due in 2014 and a new round of emission reduction commitments. A key demand of the Small Island Alliance is a second five-year commitment to the Kyoto Protocol, which currently binds 37 industrialized nations and the European Union to reduce their carbon emissions to agreed targets by 2012, and a new parallel agreement for those with no current Kyoto obligations."
Kiribati is a state party to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention. The Phoenix Islands Protected Area in the east of Kiribati, one of the largest marine protected areas in the world, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2010.
The wealth of Kiribati heritage is found not only in nature but also in culture. The Culture Division of the Ministry of Internal and Social Affairs that is in charge of cultural affairs at the Kiribati Government recently organised a workshop on the safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Kiribati in order to discuss a safeguarding strategy in cooperation with the UNESCO Office in Apia and with financial assistance of the Government of Japan.
One of the most notable outcomes of the workshop was the support expressed by the Elders to Kiribati's ratification of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention. In Kiribati, the Elders have been responsible for overseeing matters relating to the community life in the country. Historically, they have been regarded as source of wisdom by community members and their authorities still prevails even nowadays. The effectiveness of any external interventions therefore depends on the endorsement of the Elders of the country.
A draft of five-year strategy and action plan for Intangible Cultural Heritage safeguarding in Kiribati was also prepared during the workshop by the participants and endorsed by the Elders.
Like many other Pacific islands, in Kiribati heritage is an all-embracing concept. Tangible and intangible cultural heritage co-exist together in living environment. For example, in Kiribati there remains a unique cultural heritage, called Nnabakana. Its history has been known to this date through oral histories and traditions transmitted from generation to generation among local communities.
Nnabakana, located at Tabiteuea, one of the southern islands of Kiribati, contains huge stone monuments with associated stories of battles that were fought among islands around the 16th century. These monuments are human-made stone pillars, six of which remain unspoiled, resembling giant human warriors built to scare away enemies. Some of them are more than three metres high.
When placed six metres apart in a row on the coastal side of the islet and seen from the distance, the pillars look like an army of giants marching ready for war.
The Kiribati's Culture Division recently undertook research on the site. Through the research, the Culture Division obtained GPS data, images and video footages relating to Nnabakana site as well as interviews with locals living nearby.
The outcome of the research clearly showed the unique value of the Nnabakana site in Kiribati for the cultural history of early civil wars between islands. This evidence remains today through the manmade pillars, signs of art and warfare skills.
The rich oral stories on the civil war makes the site particularly interesting for Kiribati where foreign contents still dominate its history education at school. Pacific islanders have been taught about "The Battle of Waterloo by Napoleon" through foreign-made curricula and text books, while they have not had a chance to learn of Pacific civil war.
The research result also shows the urgent need of its safeguarding since the site located at the coastal zone is exposed to harsh weather conditions facing threats from rising sea level. The site is fully exposed to the hot sunny days, affecting most pillars that cracked and toppled. The strong winds from the west, high tides and big waves are also forcing the pillars to fall and get destroyed.
The Kiribati's Culture Division presented the outcome of the research at the Pacific World Heritage Workshop held in Apia in September last year. The presentation caught the attention of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and resulted in the financial assistance from the European Union through the Secretariat to support a mapping exercise of the site in 2012.
This new grant will allow the Culture Division to obtain carbon dating information and to carry out further documentation and recording. The steps to be followed would be to organise consultations with the Elders of communities concerned and to formulate a long-term management and safeguarding plan for this unique heritage.
Nowadays, the stone warriors are fighting primarily against the new enemy of climate change, since Kiribati may exist only as underwater cultural heritage in the future if the international community continues to delay actions. It is hoped that safeguarding the Nnabakana site will help Kiribati to further advocate for the emergency of its situation, paving a way for long-term solutions by, for example, nominating the heritage for international recognition under the UNESCO Culture Conventions.
From civil war to Kiribati stone
According to the oral traditions, there was a civil war long time ago in Kiribati. It was started when a little island called Beru in the south of Kiribati was overpopulated, and Kaitu, its leader, set out on a mission of conquest sometime around 1550. Kaitu selected Uakeia as his strategist. And he launched a military expedition with an army of 600 men travelling in 37 large war canoes and outriggers. The first landing was made at the southern end of Tabiteuea. The locals at Tabiteuea fled, warning the northern villages and gathering forces to fight with the army under Kaitu. Some sources stated that local informants said that Kaitu and group were from Beru while Uakeia and few others were from Nikunau,both islands were one during the conquest.
Expecting a battle with the Tabiteueans, Kaitu consulted his strategist Uakeia. Uakeia turned to god for advice. The god told him that the battle would take place on Tabiteuea at Tabuaeroa where a piece of land between two islets was left uncovered at low tide. Then the Beru and Nikunau army spent an entire day and night in setting up 30 stone men who were twice as high as an ordinary man. These stone men armed with spears and placed to defend the islet looked like mighty and intimidating figures. On the next morning, the Tabiteueans saw these colossal warriors defending the islet and took them for the Beru chiefs. They were scared by the sight and fled. Then Kaitu continued his advance up the atolls.
"thirty stone men, to spans high, armed with multi-pronged wooden spears…"

n Wayne Lyle Allman, battery with two prior convictions, 270 days with credit for 66 days served. Must pay civil judgment and jail fund.
By A.B. Sidibe
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
The former Levy County Sheriff's lieutenant who attacked and held his ex-girlfriend prisoner for 10 hours, beating and raping her, will spend 30 years in prison followed by 15 years sex offender probation with electronic monitoring.
It was an ordeal that the victim told the court had left her filled with shame, guilt, self-loathing; unable to look at a 9-mm gun and unable to be around crowds; robbed of her spark and desire in life. "I feel I cannot trust anyone," she said.
Lamont Lewis Nelson, 32, designated a sexual predator for his conviction in 1999 on sexual battery on a child under the age of 12, has registered his home address with the Levy County Sheriff's Office. By Florida law Nelson is required to notify law enforcement whenever he changes or establishes a new address.
Nelson, convicted in Highlands County, was just released from prison and has registered his address as: 12451 N.E. 108 Terr., Archer.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
Two people were arrested Thursday in connection with burglaries in and around Chiefland where residents lost guns, a pressure washer and checks that were used to purchase goods that were later returned for cash, according to a Levy Sheriff's Office spokesman.
Levy County Sheriff's Detectives Jimmy Anderson and Mike Wilkinson arrested John Wayne Pipkin, 36, and Kelly Michelle Colson, 28, are accused of break-ins that started in November 2012.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets pared gains Monday afternoon following a news report that the Federal Reserve is likely to address tapering of its monetary stimulus at its two-day meeting that ends Wednesday. The S&P 500 gained 0.76% to 1,639.04, trading as high as 1,646.50 following better-than-expected manufacturing and housing reports which offered signs that the U.S. economic recovery is strengthening. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.73% to 15,179.85 while the Nasdaq tacked on 0.83% to 3,452.13. The Financial Times reported during the afternoon session that Chairman Ben Bernanke during his press conference on Wednesday is likely to signal that the central bank is close to tapering its purchases of mortgage-backed securities and longer-term Treasuries. The Fed's two-day meeting kicks off Tuesday, with its policy announcement, economic projections, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's press conference taking place on Wednesday. "Every investor right now is thinking about what the Fed is going to say, what the Fed is going to do, and the last time they spoke they roiled the market a little bit," said Randy Warren, chief financial officer at Warren Financial Service. "Stocks were up this morning that Bernanke would come out and sooth the markets, say, 'You know what, we're not going to tapper off the bond buying program,'" said Gene Goldman, director of research at Cetera Financial. "There was excitement about that news, and then around 2 p.m. ET a report came out that said that he's still going to stick to his guns and he's actually going to talk about .... reducing the buyback." New York manufacturing conditions modestly improved this month, the New York Federal Reserve said Monday citing its June Empire State manufacturing survey. The index rose nine points to 7.8, beating economists expectations. Most other indicators in the survey fell as the index for number of employees dropped to zero and the average workweek index retreated ten points to minus 11.3. "In our view it would be risky to deliver a hawkish monetary policy message at a time when growth remains sluggish, inflation continues to trend down and market inflation expectations are dropping sharply," Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs' chief economist in New York, commented in a report.
