Woman charged in wrong-way DWI crash
An alleged drunken driver -- caught stumbling from the damaged Honda in which she'd fled a wrong-way, head-on crash in Patchogue -- blamed the victim for the collision, according to Suffolk police.
"She crashed into me. She was on my side of the street. It was her fault," Natalie Leontiev, 38, of Holtsville, told police after the Friday night crash, court records say.
Leontiev -- who told police she's a doctor -- has a revoked driver's license and a lengthy rap sheet for driving under the influence, records show.
Saturday, Leontiev was jailed on $120,000 bond or $40,000 cash bail. She was arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on a felony charge of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. She is also charged with reckless endangerment and driving while intoxicated, both misdemeanors, and leaving the scene of an accident, a violation.
There were no injuries in the crash, police said.
Leontiev's court-appointed attorney, Jeremy Mis, denied the charges on his client's behalf and said Leontiev lives with her parents, and has a child who lives in Freeport.
On Friday night, authorities said, Leontiev drove her 2010 Honda CR-V the wrong way -- westbound on the eastbound Sunrise Highway service road, near Phyllis Drive -- for more than a mile.
Several motorists had to swerve to avoid the Honda and called 911, prosecutor Maria Troulakis said in court. At about 8:25 p.m., Leontiev allegedly struck a 2002 Toyota 4Runner driven by Armida Zelata, 39, of Patchogue.
Zelata, an assembly-line worker, was on a shopping trip with her sister when the crash happened, said Zelata's husband, David, 40.
"To leave the scene like that and to be drunk -- that's just too much," he said in Spanish. The Toyota sustained only minor bumper damage.
Police immediately headed to Leontiev's home, using the Honda's license plate number provided by a witness to obtain the address. An officer spotted the CR-V with "extensive front-end damage" still running in the garage, and saw the driver climb out and "attempt to flee" into the house, according to the officer's deposition.
The officer said he stopped her and noticed that she was stumbling, had bloodshot, glassy eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol. Police said she refused all alcohol tests.
Leontiev told police that she practices medicine at Brookhaven Family Medicine in Patchogue and makes $8,000 a month, police said.
Although a woman with her name has an inactive license for "graduate osteopathic trainee" in Pennsylvania, Newsday could locate no medical license under Leontiev's name in New York. A message left with the Brookhaven practice wasn't returned.
Leontiev has two pending drunken driving cases, in Suffolk and Nassau, and a 2006 impaired-driving conviction in Queens, Troulakis said in court. Records also list a 2011 driving under the influence conviction in Connecticut.

There had always been a small restaurant at the 'Corner' in
Riverside Missouri, but before 1983 it had changed names and hands several
times. Many of the locals wanted to see a return to the old style cafe that had
existed there years before and was an icon of its time (Reese's Cafe).
Enter Ed and Kathi Rule. They were local business owners and
their family had helped to establish Riverside as a city. They had never been in
the restaurant business before, but always felt they knew what good food was all
about. They used to always experiment at home on new recipes and go to
restaurants they liked with the thought of one day possibly opening their own
restaurant. That day came. It began on May 15th 1983, when they opened a little
40 seat cafe that would serve breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday.
The Corner Cafe was born. There was a lot of learning in those
first couple years. New items were introduced as daily specials written on the
front windows and inside on the chalkboard. The counter
became the center of the
action. 'The Riverside Liar's Club' took up the large round table by the counter
and became the place to be to find out all the local happenings in town. It
didn't take long for the locals to notice. Then as word spread, more and more
people would start to call asking for directions. It was obvious that expansion
was needed. First the weekends, then dinner, then two expansions that doubled
the seating. For many it became a home away from home, it was like an extended
family. People would come in everyday, some several times a day! People would
bring in pictures and items to hang on the walls, they shared their lives with
us as we shared our livelihood with them. When a fire in 1985 burned down a
warehouse next to the restaurant, customers helped to pull items out in hopes of
saving anything they could. Thankfully the fire was stopped before serious
damage was done. The warehouse was a total loss, but offered an opportunity for
the future.
The original cafe had occupied a location that had lasted for
over 50 years as a restaurant. It was painfully obvious that modernization was
needed. The wheels began to spin about the possibility of building a new
restaurant where the old warehouse once stood. Careful consideration was taken
while designing the new Corner Cafe. They had to make certain that they didn't
alienate the long time customer, while trying to attract new customers.
The new Corner Cafe opened on December 6th 1994, built on the
traditions of the original. The fireplace came from the foundation of the old
family farmhouse. The windmill came from their father's farm. The pictures on
the wall tell about their family history as well as that of Riverside and the
surrounding area. The counter, the round table, the food, the service were all
fashioned to recreate what people had come to expect from the original
Today, we continue the traditions that started back in 1983.
With new locations open and more on the way, we strive to provide the best
products, the best service, and the best value in an atmosphere that makes you
feel like you're part of the family. Our family.

What do you mean, Keenan Allen playing slot receiver? Just bear with me while I attempt to persuade you.
A slot receiver, by definition, is a player in the offensive formation between the offensive line and the player closest to the sideline and at least a yard off of the line of scrimmage. That space can be occupied by a wide receiver, tight end or running back. It is often used when the offense wants to confuse the defense by having more than one receiver on the same side of the field. Utilizing this tactic generally forces the opposing team to adjust their coverage scheme by making alignment changes or adding extra defensive backs to ensure that the player in that "slot" has someone on him.
While at University of California – Berkeley (UCB), Allen was used in several different formations: split wide at receiver, in the slot and in the backfield. He primarily played the slot position while at UCB, so the role would be nothing new to him. Being quick off the line of scrimmage whether the ball is coming his way or if he is being a decoy can only help Philip Rivers in the long run. Although Allen may not have top speed, he does have the ability to change speed quickly. Prior to the draft, NFL analyst Charles Davis stated "…he didn't run very fast at his pro day, but the comparisons for him: he plays the game a lot like Anquan Boldin and has hands like Larry Fitzgerald". Current players also known as slot receivers are: Jeremy Maclin (Kansas City Chiefs), Demaryius Thomas (Denver Broncos), Dez Bryant (Dallas Cowboys), Randall Cobb (Green Bay Packers) and free agent Wes Welker.
Allen has played 29 games in his two years with the Bolts and has 148 receptions of which 95 went for first down. Other than his receiving yardage, there are only punt return statistics for him: 26 attempts for 224 yards with 24 fair catch calls and zero touchdowns. In comparison, here is what newly-signed Jacoby Jones amassed during his first two years (2007-2008 and 30 games) in the league. As a receiver, Jones recorded 18 receptions and 11 of those were for first down. His punt return numbers: 672 yards on 62 attempts, 24 fair catches made, two TDs. On kick offs, 17 attempts for 358 yards (zero touchdowns, zero fair catches made).
Perhaps the argument can be made to move Keenan Allen to the slot since he is considerably younger than Jacoby Jones and Jones has more NFL experience overall in that position. So you are aware, though he is also on the team now, Stevie Johnson was not included in this comparison because he was only used in the return game his initial season (2008).
I know what I would do if the decision was left up to me…however, where do you think Allen lines up this season?
Thanks and Bolt Up!

In only a few weeks it will be Valentine's Day.
I've been asked to write a special letter to my children about how I met their father. It will appear in Bob Brody's Letters to My Kids. I'll post it here after Bob publishes it.
Bob has appeared on the CBS Early Morning Show and his mission to encourage parents to write letters to their children to pass along the family history has been written up in the New York Times and other respected newspapers and magazines.
He has put together a fun survey that includes questions like: have you told your kids how you met your spouse? Bob has asked me to spread the word to parents. The survey takes just a couple of minutes. He is looking to get at least 100 responses…why not give it a try. I did!
You can click on the links above or follow this link below.
I know Bob will appreciate your response to the survey.

Did The FTC's New 'Blogger' Guidelines Just Change The Way All Book/Music Reviews Must Be Conducted?
from the just-wondering deptA bunch of folks have been sending in the fact that the FTC has (as was widely expected) approved new rules on "endorsements" or "testimonials," including a section on bloggers or "word-of-mouth marketers." The end goal here is definitely admirable, but I question whether or not this ruling really makes sense:
The revised Guides also add new examples to illustrate the long standing principle that "material connections" (sometimes payments or free products) between advertisers and endorsers -- connections that consumers would not expect -- must be disclosed. These examples address what constitutes an endorsement when the message is conveyed by bloggers or other "word-of-mouth" marketers. The revised Guides specify that while decisions will be reached on a case-by-case basis, the post of a blogger who receives cash or in-kind payment to review a product is considered an endorsement. Thus, bloggers who make an endorsement must disclose the material connections they share with the seller of the product or service.Again, the concept is definitely admirable. There's long been a fear that companies are effectively bribing people with free stuff in order to get good reviews, and the FTC wants people to reveal that info. But... does that really make sense? It seems to me like this could just create a totally unnecessary minefield for anyone who blogs. And why is this focused on bloggers and word-of-mouth marketers? Almost all book and music reviews in the mainstream press involve the books and music being sent for free - and there's never been any question of impartiality of most of those reviews -- but why are they now left out of these rules? Is every blogger who reviews a book going to have to disclose where they got it? What about music? Many music bloggers are sent mp3s by the record labels. Do they need to reveal who sent them stuff? Does that really matter?
The real question, from my standpoint, is whether or not the FTC is really needed here. If someone is constantly blogging positively about stuff they get for free, they put their own credibility at risk, as people realize that the products aren't actually very good. It seems like the type of situation that sorts itself out. Those who are constantly pushing products for questionable reasons hurt themselves and soon no one trusts them. Does the FTC really need to be involved in that process? In the meantime, I'm suddenly glad that we don't do reviews on this site for the most part. I do occasionally mention or review books, but I guess I'll have to mention when I buy those books vs. when I'm sent them for free (it's about 50/50), which seems pretty pointless.

jraines necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 174 diseños de 67 diseñadores freelance.
I need a contempary logo for a small consulting firm I am building a website for. Orange/blue scheme, needs to look good on a webpage or business card. Needs to include the company name.
Basically this logo needs to have a deep blue / red-orange main color scheme. Those don't have to be the only colors, but that's the overall color scheme.
Go to the website -- the logo will go in the top header so it needs to be large and bold, but also iconic. You don't have to use the colors of the website, but it would be helpful if you provided the approximate Hex color codes for the dominant colors you use so I can tweak the design of the page if necessary.
Client wants a contemporary look, with circles incorporated. So maybe a flame inside a circle, or several circles (balls of fire maybe?). The icon should be to the left of the company name.
The client is a consulting firm that brings in talent and organizes events for Atlanta's Spanish-language community. So if you have some idea of how to give a Latin feel to a contempory, iconic logo for a consulting firm, go for it. If not, don't worry about it. I personally can't envision what that would look like; but that's why I'm on this site!
- Iconic, contemporary logo.
- I like the logo for the 9rules network, for an example
- Too busy to look good on a business card
- Retro or "vintage" look
