Half-Baked ABC 15 Report Misses the Complete Story on...

Prosecutor Juan Martinez rapid-fires questions to murder defendant Jodi Arias, bouncing through timelines, appearing to want to confuse and scold as much as to elicit useful information.
Arias sometimes gets confused and upset. She admits she can't keep her stories straight. She intermittently breaks down sobbing, especially when forced to view the bloody crime-scene photos of her handiwork. But is she acting?
Her biggest breakdown comes on Thursday, February 28, when Martinez leads her through the horrifying minutes of the June 4, 2008, murder of her ex-boyfriend, Travis Alexander.
"Ma'am, were you crying when you were shooting him?"
"I don't remember," she answers, a hand over her face.
"Were you crying when you were stabbing him?"
"I don't remember."
"How about when you cut his throat — were you crying then?" Martinez demands, his voice rising.
If the televised trial were a CGI-animated movie, the short, middle-aged deputy Maricopa County attorney, wearing his typical gray suits, would be a badger.
His job is to make sure Arias' life ends on the executioner's table.
Martinez's belligerence is just one of many reasons this trial — expected to go on for at least another two weeks — is getting watched around the world.
Unless you resemble a doomsday prepper who's been living without a digital signal for the past three months, you already know that Arias is on trial for the grotesque slaying of Alexander, a successful Mormon businessman from Mesa. As of press time, Arias had spent a marathon 17 days on the witness stand, spanning more than five weeks.
The trial itself began January 2, "regaling" — to use one of Martinez's favorite words — audiences globally with nude photos of Arias and Alexander, gory shots of the murder scene, and talk of kinky sex acts.
Public interest in the case had been growing since Alexander's body was discovered in 2008, but the start of the trial kicked off a media storm that has rivaled some of the great real-life courtroom dramas of the TV age.
Each day, dozens of Arias watchers pack into the courtroom's visitors' galley. When Arias began her command performance February 4, millions tuned in to live video, clicked on Arias-related websites, and watched long dissections of the case on CNN's Anderson Cooper and a multitude of other shows.
The long direct examination by public defense attorney Kirk Nurmi seemed intended to both explain Arias' self-defense theory and present a human side of the defendant to the jury — a panel of mostly white, mixed-generation men and women deciding her mortal fate.
Some of the testimony wasn't just raunchy, it was scandalous. Trial watchers heard recorded phone-sex conversations between the former couple along with loads of discussion about anal sex — which, according to Arias, is more preferable before marriage in the Mormon religion than vaginal sex.
America now knows that Tootsie Pops don't just go in mouths and that Pop Rocks add extra spark to oral sex.
Arias claimed her victim was a wanna-be pedophile, used her like a prostitute, called her a "three-holed wonder" and a "whore," and abused her mentally and physically. She caught him masturbating to a picture of a 5- or 6-year-old boy, she testified, and soon after got into a raging fight with him during which he broke her finger.
The wrap-up of the initial defense testimony had Arias going over the details of her self-defense claim: She described how Alexander, angry that she'd dropped his new camera, chased her from the shower to a closet, where she found "his" gun and shot him. She claimed the next thing she remembers is driving into the desert in a "fog." Her testimony was as compelling as it was sketchy.
Then, Juan Martinez began his long cross-examination, going over the intimate, pornographic details of the former couple's sexual activity — and emphasizing that she'd been more sexually experienced than Alexander. Texts and phone conversations showed that she enjoyed their creativity in bed.
The prosecutor's recurring theme: Her stories don't make sense and aren't supported by anything but the word of Arias, an admitted liar and killer. He's made good use of the media interviews Arias gave.
On a big courtroom screen, Arias — from the witness stand — looks at Arias looking into a camera during her infamous 2008 interview on 48 Hours — the one in which she claims "masked intruders" did it.
"If it were my brother, I'd want to know what his last minutes were like," the 2008 Arias told the public. She later switched to the self-defense claim she's now using.
Martinez chides her for sending Alexander's grandmother 20 white irises and a long letter that mentions these faux intruders.
"Did they deserve that lie?" he demands.
Martinez's snide prosecutorial personality has been on full display.
And Arias has been a smart-ass in her retorts, throwing zingers at him like she's trying to repel an unwanted suitor.
Which is one of the reasons that trial watchers find the spectacle so enthralling. Nobody expects such brazen behavior from somebody who may well be put to death.
Then, when viewers become frustrated with Arias' many apparent lies, Martinez is there for them, throwing it in her face.
Ray Stern is the most wonderful writer!
does anyone really believe anything ray stern writes?
does anyone really believe anything ray stern writes?
Seriously, that State vs Jodi Arias page is run by two trolls from Australia with nothing better to do than to get involved in a justice system that is none of their business. They are shady and maybe should pay attention to the stalking and harassment practices they participate in online in their own damn country. Bunch of freaks.
Jodi is just like Charles Manson cold and devil driven killer. The gun and knife was brought by her, she was good with knife she slashed 12 tires remember? She is not fooling anyone but herselfserving fog, may GOD punish her devilish ways, and he will.
She's a liar... Its impossible to be in a "Fog" Coming from Mesa she would have had to drive on 3 highways,Drive thru 2 towns. Once getting to Kingman she would have had to exit one hwy to get on another, then drive thru Kingman's Main Street to get on road leading to Hoover Dam where she said she came to. Thats impossible. I drive that route every month to Las Vegas.
Nice work Mr. Stern. Carolyn Reynolds, Author
I am finding that the majority of peoples opinion of this case have gotten worse as this trial moves forward. Watching her arrogance, hearing her blatant lies, has all but turned the majority against her more than they were. She is an arrogant, self centered, sociopath with not even an ounce of remorse. If she was truly remorseful and repentant of her actions,she wouldn't have taken this farce as far as she has. She wanted him dead,and to NEVER get caught. I am amazed at her unrelenting and insistent trashing of travis's character. Yes,he made mistakes,and obviously was not perfect. What Jodi has done is horrific, and to not treat this murder As one would if she was a man killing a woman would be unfair. The bias that some show,because of the fact she is a woman astounds me! She mutilated and murdered a human being! She should be treated the same as any man.

The Facebook page run by Australian admins, is becoming a very 'hate hate hate' page, and I have unliked it for that reason, they did have good links, but too many angry opinionated people just out for death penalty. Would they be so blood mongering if it was their family member????
I have been following this trial very closely. Martinez has more work to do to prove premeditation; he's getting there but he's not there yet. Many in the media act as if a first degree murder conviction is already a done deal and it's not. Big mistake for Martinez or any one else for that matter to get overconfident right now.
Great detailed article. Been following the case daily.
It's not complicated folks. GUILTY-1st
If memories were blocked from forming from the beginning of the stress (gunshot) and she came out of the fog in the car, remember Dr. said no memories whatso ever, how did she remember dropping the knife and screaming. Wish I could get Martinez to ask this question.
I love the no nonsense approach that Mr martinez has with this trial , he has his facts together with no second guessing, we need more prosecutors like him especially down south then maybe justice would be served and a lot of this shooting and killing people would stop.
Thank you Ray for covering this trial. As you know I've been in the courtroom most days in support of the family. I've never seen the likes of the brutal reassassination of this victim through this sociopath and her attorneys through this trial. To readers: this has nothing to do with an insanity defense. She's claming SELF DEFENSE while she stabbed Travis 27 times including 9 stab wounds in the BACK as he tried to escape her then she slit his throat and shot him in the face. After at least 2 weeks of premeditation and years of lying about her involvement. this will result in a conviction and death sentence for the demon. Mark my words.
I am insulted by Ray Stern's crass assertion that you have to be a "doomsday prepper who's been living without a digital signal for the past three months" in order not to know the ongoing, gory details of the Jody Arias case. I, for one, am a regular guy who doesn't have anything against folks who have chosen to be prepared for doomsday, if they so choose (the unnecessary insinuation by Stern being that only these crazy prepper types have weeded out network TV from their lives - really?) and I am glad I haven't had my mind twisted (or tittillated in a soap opera of justice, O.J. kind of way) by this media circus. Why should any of us need to have this sick parade crammed down our throats on a daily basis? I have lived just fine and well-informed without a TV signal for years now. I have peace of mind without mainstream, network TV brainwashing and "infotainment," thanks very much. In fact, I didn't find out about this case until a friend of mine in Vegas kept asking me, "What do you think about this Jody Arias murder case?" and when I replied I didn't know anything about it, and he told me the basic facts, that's really all I cared to know. I pick up the leftist, sensationalistic, yellow-journalism rag New Times every now and then, and this week decided to read up on what is sure to be the O.J. trial of this decade. Despite Stern's superfluous societal slant, one can gather from his piece that the overall tone of the trial is inappropriately voyeuristic and salacious, though prosecutor Martinez is right to keep the pressure on his deceitful, confused, ruthlessly homicidal defendant. Don't let this one turn into the fiasco and miscarriage of justice that O.J. was, people!
Only on the US and in a Corrupt State like Arizona something like this could take place, where it seems that MEDIA WHORING is more important then SEEKING JUSTICE for an individual massacred by a psycothic bitch, whose Defense is probably going to claim that she is mentally ill...... somebody already said that She is suffering PTSD, therefore paving the way for the Defense to go for that and try to play that card, which in the State of Arizona seems to be fair play. No research needs to be done to find an instance, for example : there's the MCSO and its CORRUPT SHURF , from where I think the need for MEDIA WHORING has spread to the top of the JUDICIAL SYSTEM and the COURTS to the point of making this trail a SOAP OPERA/COMEDY, which probably is going to generate a book , a Movie and so on, and the consequential result...MONEY, which I think is what They are going after, instead of bringing a swift, fair and bullshit free trail.
She is pretty hot man, I wouldnt mind some of that action!
A bevy of news shows, including those hosted by Nancy Grace andDr. Drew Pinsky on CNN andHLN, deconstruct the day's events.
At this point, does anyone really think Dr Drew knows what he's talking about? 6 years of his show, and 5 people have killed themselves? 51 patients and 5 have killed themselves. Are there other counselors who have a 10% suicide rate among their patients?
//"She described how Alexander, angry that she'd dropped his new camera, chased her from the shower to a closet, where she found "his" gun and shot him."//
Didn't she shoot him in the shower? I've been trying to figure out this statement. AFAIK, he was shot and killed in the shower. Is she expecting us to believe that the momentum from the bullets carried him all the way back down the hall into the bathroom?
And the pictures are a little freaky. That girl has something seriously wrong with her junk...
she's a hot mess.
Award winning commentary on the Arias trial. You're a class act Mr Stern.
Ray - great article. I appreciate the deeper dive into this case. I also liked your living blogging from the first couple days of the prosecutors cross exam.
What I'd like to know, if this were indeed self-defense, is after which stab wound did Travis quit attacking her. Really. I hope she gets life without parole, so she'll have many years to contemplate her actions
We all appreciate your feminism FerrisAgain, but it is misplaced on this psychotic killer. She deserves to be killed for reasons way outside her sexuality.
Damn. The number of sexist comments on here are so shocking. This woman is an evil, disturbed, awful human being. And it has nothing to do with the fact that she's a she. Or that she has a sexual past. My god, people, welcome to the 21st century.
She may be as guilty as sin, but Juan is proving to be uniformed, loose with his statements (i.e. if it isn't in her journal it didn't happen.) When forcing Jodi with a yes or now regarding if something was possible, he twists her reply to suit his needs. He tried to prove that buying gas cans shows premeditation (she could go to any gas station and pay cash if she didn't want a record of her filling up in Arizona). He infers that a photo which is in focus was not accident since it was in focus (it only takes 1/2 second of pushing the shutter button down to focus (IF IT WAS OUT OF FOCUS TO START WITH). Yesterday he stated that the shelf had to fall if she stood on it. This is not so - depending on how quick she was - where her weight was, and how tight the shelf was within the sides - it is indeed possible to get up there momentarily. He needed to have her actually try this on a shelf unit built to the exact specs as the CSI's measured at the time the body was found.
Again - I think she is guilty. But Juan is so off base on many of his accusations that I would be surprised to see him headline more prosecution cases.
@saxonoskar I'm saying give the bitch the needle, eye for an eye, Jodi MURDERED Travis in a brutal way, what do you wanna do? Give the freak show a fucking lollipop? Be serious!!! If she gets the death penalty for this brutal murder that JODI COMMITED I rather see the Alexander family getting a chance to stab her 27 times, slit her throat from ear to ear and shoot her in the head with a .25 caliber gun... That's justice!!!
Putting a needle in her arm and putting her to sleep is not what Travis went thru!!! I hope this 3 hole wonder gets the death penalty!!! She didn't give Travis the option of life, why should we!!!!!
@saxonoskar Even in reading this article, as the timeline unfolds and you see more and more of Arias and what she is like, you begin to feel more and more disdain for her. I think it might be fairly impossible for most people to hear her lies, her brutality and her attitude and not progressively feel more and more negatively towards her. If it were my family member I'd definitely feel like that - no questions asked. And if Arias was my family member, I'd fully understand why the other side felt like they did.
@saxonoskar If Travis were your family member would you not feel the same way? Just a thought.
@saxonoskar Which Facebook page are you referring to?
@loria0825 Im a true Juan fan and adore the man's Prosecutorial talents, but I too, agree with you. Im also the kind of person who doesnt believe it til its IN MY HANDS anyway. I think he's doing a fabulous job and has done beautifully. Like you say though, I dont think he or anyone else should become overconfident - yet. Instead, keep digging and instilling the premeditation in the jurors minds. The facts are there. Make sure they HEAR it is all. Well said Loria0825.
@c.robideaux I found that comment insulting too... I dont like in a cave or under a rock, yet in the country I live in, have had NO media coverage of this case at all. Im now watching the trial days from day 1 on youtube. So have an unbiased opinion since havnt had all the media coverage for years like those in USA
@danxranx I have been watching the trial since it started. She would probably give you some action because in one story about her she gave a guy she had just met "oral sex" right outside his car. I doubt she will see the light of day once this trial ends. The sex is very graphic and they give a "daily warning" that it is. Personally, I am enjoying Juan. I live in Phoenix and would try to get into the trial but people line up at 4 AM and finding a parking place is difficult.
@danxranx You want some of THAT "action" eh? Hey! Im SURE you can find plenty of so-called "hot" women who'd like to murder you in cold blood! Especially the ones with a way higher IQ than you SEEM to have. SMDH. How ignorant.
@Mikey1969 ... did they kill themselves BECAUSE of Dr. Drew? ... or in spite of Dr. Drew?
Fact is, those suicidal losers were going to check-out anyway ... and good riddance!
@pszymeczek .......... I think she will have many years in prison to contemplate her crimes whether or not she gets the death penalty. It takes on average, about 20 years or more to execute a prisoner.
@FerrisAgain I find your comments refreshing, and on track. We should not look at this thru the jaded eyes that decide one gender is more evil than the other.
Having said that....if she were not a murderer, I would bang her like a screen door in a hurricane! In front of her family, if necessary!
@FerrisAgain It's a sad result of the opening up of the courtrooms for the public to watch the trials as though they were sports events.
That, and people love to be judgmental and insert their own morality into their conclusions of what they've witnessed, for whatever reasons.
Maybe it's just the nature of the beast? I'm sure it could be improved but only by the individuals participating, unfortunately.
@ghsclarke But even buying with cash videocameras still can catch her.
ghsclarke, seems to me that U R the one off base. 1, You have to be familiar with how a Prosecutor handle each case. You have to be Him to know the reason why He does that 2,- When You buy gas, even if You pay in cash, there are those little things called "SECURITY CAMERAS" that could capture Her, why risk it,3.- A picture beign in focus it means that the picture taken is clear and centered, on whatever was intended to.....contrary to a picture taken by accident; usually out of focus due to no objective has been chosen at the moment the shuter was actuated....... the only thing I might agree with You, is the shelf. THINK ABUT IT.
@boofa01 @saxonoskar EXACTLY and well-said, Boofa01. Thank you. I agree.
@loria0825 @saxonoskar I believe he is referring to The State vs Jodi Arias Travis Alexander Murder Trial page. A page for support of Travis Alexander.
@DonkeyHotay @Mikey1969 Look, he's obviously not a good counselor, when that many of his clients kill themselves after his services. What's so hard to figure out? Of course, he has a much better attitude than you do. I'd say you'd have a 100% suicide success rate if you were the therapist.
@phil123jones @pszymeczek I only want the DP simply due the much more strict rules than LWOP. I WISH ALL states would make LWOP carry the same strict guidelines as DP, then it wouldnt be so hard. The BEST thing for this lunatic IS to have to live with and by herself. She'll drive herself insane! And not having ANY attention? Oh yeah! That'll do her in. My ONLY problem with DP for her is, I dont think its a hard enough death. Way too easy for someone like her! Im serious.
Courtrooms have generally ALWAYS been open to the public.
@daymond13 @ghsclarke EXACTLY! And is WHY she did NOT risk it. That guy above? Yeah, him, he's ridiculous, dont mind him. SMH. :)
Your points are invalid.
1 - I have been a semi-professional photographer since 1973. I have been dealing with digital cameras since 1997. Don't get me started on the photography aspect - I know very well what I am speaking of.
2 - As far as hidden cameras at gas stations - forget it. You are expecting every gas station to have images of every car Arizona on the day in question. It is not going to happen. Even if every single car had an image taken, there are thousands of gas stations in Arizona. Jodi was not suspected for some time - tapes, disks, hard drives get rewritten all the time. Do you think there is going to be a database of every car and license plate that gets gas in Arizona?
Juan just shows his stupidity.
As I said - I am sure Jodi is guilty - and it may be premeditated. But Juan is grasping at things he hasn't a clue about.
@lstelmack @loria0825 @saxonoskar Thanks!
@Mikey1969 @DonkeyHotay ANOTHER Ignorant finger-pointer, I see. Grow up!
@marcy @TaxpayingVoter @FerrisAgain Not via television and internet, they haven't. That was what I meant.
I should have been clearer.
@IdontRecall Amen, Amen, AAAMEN!!! Whoo! I couldnt have said it better! And I LOOVE your strikes...and..."Almost forgot to mention...you are out!" LMAO! LOVE THIS POST! MY FAVE thus far!
Am a smartass, especially with people who are OBVIOUSLY talking outta their anus, but you my friend? Youve just schoold ME in being sarcastic! And THAT? Thats doing something! LOL! Thank you!
PS. He is, WAY off base. And WAY uninformed!
@ghsclarke @IdontRecall I think it's feasible that the purchase of gas cans could show premeditation. If I wanted to convince people that I had not been in the state or in the area when something happened, I sure as hell wouldn't risk fueling up in that area! You're right, security cameras may be "re-written" regularly... in the one or two places that still use VHS tapes. Most corporate chains now continuously burn their security tapes to DVD or save them on a hard drive and they are NOT overwritten or deleted. Not to mention she stole her grandparents' gun and brought it with her to poor Travis Alexander's house. I hear you that individually the points the prosecutor is making cannot stand on their own. But all together... it paints a pretty convincing picture. Not that we really need him to. 29 stab wounds, a gruesomely slashed throat and a bullet to the face kinda makes the prosecutor's argument for him. ya know.
@IdontRecall - Well - I am sure you are a very nice person, but I am also sure that logic is a matter that escapes you. You might want to stick with crochet as you don't have to think aloud.
That said - are you still insane enough to believe that focus on a camera can only take place when you have composed the shot you are looking for? C'mon and smell the coffee! I am not going to give you a course in photography, focal length, and composure. While this is usually a quick lesson I teach, I don't have a spare day or two to make you understand.
Secondly - are you telling me the only time you have paid cash for a gas purchase, you have gone inside to pay? Even Arco/AMPM stations have had the pay stations outside where cash is taken as well as debit, etc.
Perhaps Juan is a heroic relative of yours - I don't know. But I do know that you have formed an opinion that even the courts are not prepared to give to the jury yet. The law knows better that to accept pre-meditaion without all evidence in. You evidently are not a believer in bringing facts into evidence.
ghsclarke, U R still off base. second strike.....TO PEOPLE OF GOOD KNOWLEDGE; FEW WORDS ARE NEEDED. There's no need to go into the Photography Realm to understand the difference between a FOCUSED picture, and a picture taken by acccident(out of focus)I already made my point........it's hard to believe U beign a semi-pro photographer when it seems that U have no clue of what's the difference. Third strike......I never mentioned "hidden caneras", I said "Security Cameras", if You know the difference between them. When someone PAY IN CASH, necessarilly they have to go into the gas station, something She didn't want to do or risk beign seen or captured on video and later been recalled, there might be no video but still somebody might remember Her or the car She was driving.
BTW, do You know how many cases Mr Juan has Prosecuted? seems U have a bonner for Him. Yes, She is guilty and that is a premeditated crime, based on all the evidence. This trial should've been finished by now, but it seems everybody in the court is more interested on her sexual life than the crime commited, maybe They want to get some pointers. ONLY IN ARIZONA..........Oh I almost forgot.....U R OUT.

Combining Apical's Assertive Vision processor and NGCodec's H.265/HEVC Encoder in an integrated circuit enables significant enhancement of video quality and bandwidth efficiency
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, Barcelona, February 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Apical™ and NGCodec™ announce new capabilities of the Apical Assertive Vision Processor and the NGCodec H.265/HEVC encoder that allow the two IP components to be seamlessly integrated into an SoC or ASIC design. At the Mobile World Congress, Apical and NGCodec will have a demonstration of this technology, which achieves much higher perceived video quality combined with a lower bitrate. It achieves this by detecting visually important regions of a video such as peoples' bodies, using the Apical Assertive Vision processor, and encoding them with a higher quality relative to the rest of the video using the Region of Interest capabilities of the NGCodec HEVC encoder.
It is now possible to link the Apical and NGCodec IP in an integrated circuit with no extra hardware or any software overhead on the host processor, enabling smartphones to address the challenges of delivering high-quality 4K UHD video while optimizing storage and transmission bandwidth demands and at the same time minimizing power and application processor load.
Apical's Assertive Vision silicon IP is a radically new detection, classification and tracking engine capable of accurate analysis of any number of people and other objects in real time up to 4K at 60 frames per second. It is part of Apical's Assertive technology family, which is enabling next-generation camera and display features through modelling the human visual system.
The NGCodec H.265/HEVC video encoder silicon IP supports 10-bit 4K encoding at 60 frames per second. The design is focused on extremely low power consumption and low latency for next generation smartphone applications.
"Consumer expectations for next-generation smartphone video capture make substantial demands on the camera and the encoder, meaning that both have to get a good deal smarter than they are today. Combining NGCodec's efficient HEVC encoder and our Assertive Vision engine enables visually important parts of the scene to be preserved with the highest quality while at the same time optimizing overall bit rate ", said Michael Tusch, CEO of Apical.
"As Smartphones adopt 4K, the need to constrain the file size becomes increasingly important," said Oliver Gunasekara, CEO, NGCodec. "The ability to detect objects and intelligently compress video based on understanding what is visually important in each scene becomes essential."
"Thanks to innovative products like Apical's Assertive Vision processor, it's becoming feasible to incorporate sophisticated embedded vision into virtually any type of electronic system," said Jeff Bier, Founder of the Embedded Vision Alliance. "By harnessing embedded vision, designers can make their systems more intelligent and efficient, as illustrated by the combination of Apical's processing engine and NGCodec's compression engine - which together, use the power of embedded vision to achieve better video compression."
An example H.265/HEVC bitstream, which has been compressed by NGCodec Encoder, using the Regions Of Interest generated by Apical Assertive Vision can be downloaded from http://www.NGCodec.com/bitstreams

Chemical Plant Near Houston On Fire
by: AP, March 4, 2013 1:03:00 pm
An explosion and fire at a chemical plant has sent plumes of thick, black smoke billowing over several major roads. One injury has been reported from KUHF's Florian Martin.
The Deer Park Fire Department says firefighters are at the scene of the blaze that erupted midday Monday at the Akzo Nobel Chemical Plant in La Porte.
Firefighters from the La Porte Fire Department are at the scene. Deer Park firefighters are also on site, though they have not been asked to help extinguish the flames.
Phone calls to the chemical plant went unanswered.
The Houston area is under a wind advisory Monday, which could encumber efforts to suppress the fire.
There have been no evacuations and officials say there's no danger to the public.
La Porte is about 25 miles southeast of Houston.

Vodka Socks
Here's an urban myth — don't care if it's true or not.
Story goes that a construction worker had been given his last warning about drinking on the job. Being a hardcore alkie, he solved his problem by soaking his socks in vodka and wearing them inside his work boots all day, getting drunk anyway!
I say again — don't care if it's true or not, I just really want to believe it. I'm sayin let's go "MythBusters" on this one. We have the technology.
For several years, DPW Playa Restoration has been stockpiling a cellar of rotgut vodka that not even we will drink. (Have you ever tasted "Vodka of the Gods?!) All we need now is a Sunday off, some volunteers from the audience (would DPW have some takers?), and socks.
(If it works, this could be a start of a new DPW tradition … "Vodka Sock Sunday?").

Had it not been for Helen [Davies] and our annual progress meetings and weekly support group at the Stanford-Palo Alto CADC, I would not be as far along in my knowledge of dementia, and the resources available to me as a caregiver. I am also able to call her when a challenging situation arises. Through her facilitation of the support group, the members became close and trusting of each other. I have been able to learn from other caregivers based on their experiences, and it was Helen that made the group worthwhile through her facilitation skills and years of experience.
Helen has the ability to ask caregivers the right questions and allow us to process what we need to know in order to move forward. In the year since Helen's support group closed, I have attended 4 other support groups and no one comes close to providing me with the knowledge and support I obtained while attending Helen's group. I have appreciated very much the support Helen has given our family in this very difficult and challenging time in our lives.


text: I suspect there is something caught in the trap way that is causing the problem. Some of the things plumber find are children's toys, toothbrushes, makeup cases, and the list goes on. Sometimes a tool call a "closet auger" will clear the blockage from the top, but other times, the toilet has to be pulled up and the problem attacked from the bottom. I know that will compound your problem since this is the only toilet in the house, so perhaps a plumber would be your quickest way to get back to normal. I'm not a fan of pressure assisted toilets, but that's what you have to deal with.

Close to the airport, although rooms were very quiet! Nice indoor pool area and lounge was well decorated and spacious. Front desk staff were helpful, and the shuttle bus driver was an excellent driver.
No restaurant on site, no mini bar in room. After a 12 hour travel extravaganza, we were rather hungry. Otherwise, I would recommend staying here!The hotel is well located, with a nice ambiance in all public areas. Good high speed/Wi-Fi.

The staff was nice and parking in the garage was convenient. Although we did not use the pool or the weight room, they looked very nice and clean.
The mattress was horrible. They where hard as a rock and I woke up several times with a sore back. They need to replace the mattresses with a pillow top or at least offer some rooms with pillow tops.I wanted to add a night to our stay but since I booked through priceline they didn't know how to do it. I had to wait until the morning I was suppose to check out to add an additional night. One day they did not make our bed because we left a sweat shirt on the bed and it was against hotel policy to make the bed if an article of clothing is on the bed. ... more

The people. They have some of the best employees we have ever come across in our travels. The business room is also excellent.
The TV is set up so that if you want to get just a local channel, it is almost impossible. We told the desk person about this.Hilton is always good. Some are better, this one was. With the exception of the TV problem, it was good. We stayed for dinner at the restaurant and were the only customers.

However, we were so tired that we slept through the night despite the noise.I would definitely stay at this hotel again. The staff was great, very friendly. I've been to hotels where the staff is scary and you have to wonder if your items are safe in the room. This was not the case at this hotel. I was greeted every time I walked past the front desk.

Miami (Ohio) 4, Central Michigan 1
MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – Playing the fifth-hardest schedule in the country during the non-conference season paid off for the Miami University field hockey team as it opened Mid-American Conference play with a 4-1 victory over Central Michigan on Friday. The RedHawks improve to 3-6 overall and 1-0 in the MAC. The Chippewas fall to 3-5 overall and 0-1 in the MAC.
Miami would strike first when Olivia Miller put home an unassisted tally in the eighth minute. It would prove to bet the only goal of a defensive first half in which Central Michigan outshot the RedHawks, 5-4. When tested, junior goalkeeper Sarah Mueller was up to the task, making three saves during the period.
Kent StateState 2, Ohio 1
KENT, Ohio – The Kent State field hockey team took its first step toward avenging a painful 2-1 loss to their Mid-American Conference rivals in the 2011 conference title game by exacting a little bit of revenge Friday (Sept. 21) at Murphy-Mellis Field.

Apple has never described exactly what its process is for ensuring the titles in its App Store are safe.

Multi-platform threat exploits old Java flaw, gains persistence.
Researchers have uncovered a piece of botnet malware that is capable of infecting computers running Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that have Oracle's Java software framework installed.
The cross-platform HEUR:Backdoor.Java.Agent.a, as reported in a blog post published Tuesday by Kaspersky Lab, takes hold of computers by exploiting CVE-2013-2465, a critical Java vulnerability that Oracle patched in June. The security bug is present on Java 7 u21 and earlier. Once the bot has infected a computer, it copies itself to the autostart directory of its respective platform to ensure it runs whenever the machine is turned on.
Compromised computers then report to an Internet relay chat channel that acts as a command and control server.

Jeep Adds Models, Mustang V-6 In A F-150, & More!
Jeep Adds Models
Need more proof that the Jeep brand is keeping Chrysler afloat? While other vehicles are being left by the wayside (talking to you, PT Cruiser and Viper), Jeep is actually gaining three models. After 20 years out of the public eye, the Islander is returning in limited-edition form on the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited and will be based on the Sport model. It will come in a special Surf Blue Pearlcoat, although you can pick from three other colors. A Tiki Bob decal has been slapped onto the hood with true latitude and longitude coordinates to somewhere islandish, and there are also black sidesteps and Moab 17-inch rims with 32-inch rubber. Inside there's more Tiki Bob as well as blue stitching on the steering wheel and Mopar rubber floor mats.
The Wrangler Mountain comes from the Wrangler Sport S package and can be had on the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. Again, it's decal city, and again, it's latitude and longitude on the hood. In short, the Mountain theme translates to painted, glossy Mineral Gray 17-inch Moab wheels with 32-inch tires, appliqués on the grille and bumper, tube steps, a Mopar fuel-filler door, and black taillight guards. The interior has bits of Mountain as well.
Another blast from the (recent) past is the Renegade. It's returning as a Liberty. A new Salsa Red shade is available (as are other familiar hues), plus it will have Mineral Gray Keystone 16-inch wheels; dark fender flares, fasciae, and body side moldings; and other add-ons. A leather-wrapped wheel, fancy cloth seats, and driftwood accent bezels are among the interior offerings. Selec-Trac II is standard on the Renegade, which will fall between the Sport and Limited in the Liberty lineup.
The Renegade and Islander will be available momentarily; the Mountain will hit dealerships in the second quarter of the year.

This Just In
•Our Project Army Truck, an '86 Chevy, was stolen January 7 from a parking lot in Sun Valley, California. Suspects were caught on videotape arriving in a white '01-era Suburban or Tahoe and towing the truck away. If you have any information as to the whereabouts of the truck or components from it, please write firstname.lastname@example.com or call and leave a message at 310.531.9064.
•Have a spare $1 billion? That's what Bloomberg is reporting GM will likely spend to update the ancient-by-industry-standards Chevy and GMC fullsize pickups. In addition to interior and exterior design changes, improvements will be made in safety, such as crash protection. The redesign had previously been put on hold due to a little thing called bankruptcy.
•Chrysler's new ad campaign? "Coming home." Why? You had to ask that, didn't you? Chrysler said it's because research showed "consumers do not realize that Chrysler Group has emerged from bankruptcy and is now a different company with a new alliance partner and a healthy product plan."
•Three blinks-the '11 Ford Super Duty will have the technology that can shut off the turn signal after three blinks.
•Infiniti's all-new '11 QX56 fullsize SUV is likely to arrive this summer and even more likely to have Patrol running gear. Could the next Pathfinder go that route as well?
•The Ford Transit Connect was named North American Truck of the Year. "What is that?" sounds about right. But ask Ford's CEO Alan Mulally and he'll tell you the Transit is a "chick magnet." Disturbing, squared.
F-Series Win Streak Continues
Cut and paste last year's news-and the year before to infinity-because Ford's F-Series was the bestselling truck in 2009, as it has been for 33 years in a row. Ford sold 413,625 trucks, SUVs, vans, and other vehicles. December proved to be the best sales month for the F-Series since March 2008.

Son Wayland is a competitor with the Campbell Enterprises/Monster Energy team, sponsored by ARB. His first event was December's W.E. Rock Put Up or Shut Up Shootout in Arizona, where he placed Third-three points from nabbing Second Place. Did we mention that he's 14 years old?

Great Gym – Really like this gym. Would still be going if I hadn't dislocated both of my fingers doin ju jitsu. Lots of varieties of excercise here from normal gym facilities to bootcamp style workouts, to all forms of mma training. If you want to get in shape, check these guys out.
The Only Place I Workout – This gym is life changing. It is better priced than all the competition & the classes are way more enjoyable.
There is Kickboxing, boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Fast Track boot camp & YOGA.
The yoga alone pays for the gym itself. I do a class early morning & my entire day is better. I do a class at night after school/work & sleep like a baby.
X3 has taught me self defense and really help me protect myself in scary circumstances.
The trainers all know you by name & you know they care. X3 is my home away from home.
Go try a free session for yourself!
Cheeze – I must admit - I love the place - the machines, the workouts, etc. are all great. But a lot of the clientelle & staff are fairly cheesey types and not to mention the staff come off like used-car salesman (I don't have anything against used car salesmen - but the metaphor works).
Best workout! – I love this place. The instructors are great and easy to be around - and the programs will give you one of the best full body work outs ever while learning self defense and having fun. It's never the same and not boring. You can burn up to around 1000 calories per workout. You will drop the weight and tone up very fast. My only complaint is the monthly fee. It's a little steep at around $80 per month. You are only taking classes - other than a few treadmills, no real weight or cardio facility.
X3 Sports the real deal!! – Exellent workout!! If u r looking to tone up and lose weight this is the place to be!!! The instructors r execellent in training and teaching the right techniques in hitting, kicking, and punching the bag during kickboxing cardio training. I started 2 1/2 months ago and I have lost up to 10 PBS and 4 inches. I'm telling anyone who asks me, x3 Sports is where it's at!!!!!! I Love u X3!!!!
ADDICTIVE!!! – X3 is an INCREDIBLE workout... and while it looks like you need to be an expert (in tip top shape) to get started, it's quite the opposite... my friends and I came into this gym having not exercised seriously in years, and now, weeks later- we're feeling absolutely incredible. From the moment we walked in, we were instantly greeted... the trainers all took the time to get to know us and teach us... and really, become our friends. It's highly addictive. We never thought we'd join before we walked in the door... but once we got there and experienced this, we can't stop going back! DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Serious Fitness and Serious Fun! – X3 sports is amazing! The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, with a sincere interest in the well being of their clients and a love for what they do. The workouts are tough but varied, great for the stressed out or easily bored. Routines and instructors vary daily, and there is a fully functional gym on-site if you want it. I have toned up and learned enough to understand what goes into a serious match, and as a female, feel confident in my skills and strength. Come see us!

Network Aims to Help Harassed Campus Conservatives
December 26, 2005
WASHINGTON—Though Christopher Flickinger calls himself "dean" and poses in parodistic photos waving a small American flag and looking stern, he says he's never been more serious about eliminating what he claims is pervasive anti-conservatism on college campuses today. "When I was on campus, I had no help," the recent Ohio State University graduate told FOXNews.com. "I was harassed, intimidated, shouted down." Flickinger, schooled in broadcast journalism, said he wants to provide the support he never had as a lonely conservative in college. That's why in November he launched the Network of College Conservatives to act in part as "a link […]» Read More
Connecticut College Password-Protects Key Documents
May 21, 2009
Connecticut College—which in past years has earned a red light from FIRE for its speech codes—has password-protected two key documents, the Student Handbook and the Bias Incident Protocol. We at FIRE believe that prospective students and their parents have the right to know whether Connecticut College prohibits free speech—and whether the college even still promises free speech, since those promises were contained in earlier versions of the Student Handbook. This move is part of a disturbing trend among colleges to restrict access to these documents to those already on campus (we've recently seen this happen at DePaul University and Edinboro […]» Read More
K. C. Johnson Strikes Again
August 26, 2005
The invaluable K. C. Johnson has an excellent op-ed in today's Inside Higher Ed. K. C. does a wonderful job of collecting evidence that much of the ideological uniformity in higher education is not so much the result of "self-selection" but instead the product of an academic culture that uses ideology as a stand-in for intelligence or merit. His most interesting paragraphs relate how ideological uniformity is justified by a desire to create a particular academic orthodoxy on issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation According to Montclair State's Grover Furr, "colleges and universities do not need a single […]» Read More

In 2002, Congress passed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). This act is a farce and it failed to deal with faulty voting machine technology and had no regulatory controls. HAVA did have voter ID requirements, but they were common documents such as a bank statement, paycheck, utility bill or some other governmental document. But the act allowed the states to be more strict as long as it did not violate other federal laws. Indiana passed its voter ID act as a result of the HAVA legislation and they require a photo ID issued by the United States or Indiana government.
In the recent Supreme Court case of Crawford v. Marion County Election Board (2008), the court upheld the Indiana law that requires a photo ID to be able to vote. This was touted as a major step in ending voter fraud and restoring trust to the voting process. Give me a break! Voter fraud wasn't even an issue in the last two elections. The voting process was the issue.
A survey conducted by New York University School of Law concluded that 25 percent of African-American citizens don't have a photo ID as compared to 8 percent of white citizens of voting age. That amounts to about 5.5 million African-American adult citizens without a photo ID and a total of about 21 million citizens all together. What this law is really about is voter suppression. Years ago, the South used a poll tax to suppress black votes. You had to pay to vote. The poll tax prohibited the majority of black people from voting. The photo ID requirement has the same effect.
Georgia has adopted a similar law requiring a photo ID to vote. Former President Jimmy Carter called this requirement a "disgrace to democracy" and that it was "highly discriminatory, and in my experience, directly designed to deprive older people, African-Americans and poor people of a right to vote."
Now you might think, "What is the problem with getting a photo ID?" There are several. You will need to get your birth certificate, which costs money and takes time. You will then have to pay again for some type of state ID. So we are back to a poll tax. But remember, there is no need for a photo ID because this type of voter fraud isn't a problem and rarely would affect the outcome of an election.
Before Indiana adopted its photo ID law the Secretary of State told the state legislature that "I cannot recall one documented case of voter fraud during my tenure as Secretary of State or Assistant Secretary of State that specifically related to the impersonation of a registered voter at voting polls." She described the justification for the bill as a "pretext."
There is no need for voters to have a photo ID. We got along fine without them for more than 100 years. The only reason to adopt them now would be to keep certain groups of people from going to the polls. This is a step backward toward the disenfranchisement of black voters, the poor and the elderly. Hopefully, such a law will never be approved in Nevada.
