Single-handed cooking
"Some people say the kitchen is where they clear their heads; for me, it's where I face my demons." J.J. Goode
I'm not a big believer in precognition, but if I'd been looking. I might have seen warning signs. I was reading a novel about a jockey who'd become a private detective after losing his hand in a riding accident. My son, Robb, had been urging me to watch the latest Hell's Kitchen reality season: one contestant had survived despite having broken a wrist in an early episode's "punishment." I'd just listened to The Splendid Table on WUIS and heard an interview with J.J. Goode. Goode, a food writer and critic, was born with radial aplasia, a condition that he says makes his right arm "about the size and shape of a plucked turkey wing" and useful "only as a place occasionally to hang grilling tongs or shopping bags." He was wryly amusing, and I remembered reading an article he'd written in July's Gourmet magazine.
Next my mom lectured me, frustrated because she'd been trying to call me. "You always say I should keep my cell phone with me. Well, you should, too," she said. "What if you fall?"
An hour later, I fell. Lying face down in muddy grass, I was in pain and feeling stupid. Why hadn't I turned on the porch lights when I took the dog out on such a dark rainy night? I managed to roll over, sit up, and finally stand, using awkward crab-like movements I was grateful nobody could see. (My husband, Peter, was away camping.)
Back inside, I assessed the damage. One knee was badly skinned, bruised and swollen. It hurt, but was nothing compared to the pain in my right arm and shoulder. Still, I was pretty sure nothing was broken. Somehow I got undressed and into bed; but my arm hurt so badly that sleep was impossible.
Most of the next day was spent at an urgent care clinic. I had x-rays, ("nothing broken") and was given muscle relaxers, pain pills, heat and ice advice and a recommendation to see an orthopedic specialist for probable torn ligaments and other shoulder damage.
At home, I quickly found that anything involving the use of my right hand and arm fell into three categories: 1) no problem, 2) possible, but painful, and 3) totally impossible. The first category consisted of a very few things that could be done only with my fingers, using no arm movement whatsoever. Thankfully, by resting my forearm on a stool that's exactly desk height, they included typing on my computer, as long as I crossed my left hand over like a pianist to use the delete key. Tying shoes, dressing, in fact almost everything fell into the last two categories, except sitting around with an ice pack or heating pad.
My efforts at cooking would have been comical if they weren't so uncomfortable. For the first few days, "cooking" consisted of microwaving leftovers. But moving beyond the microwave was a lesson in limitations. Peeling and cutting very small objects, such as garlic cloves, worked pretty well because I could just use my fingers. But a three-year-old with a plastic picnic knife could do a better job of cutting and slicing anything much bigger — especially anything round. Slow stirring with my left hand was fine; whisking splattered me and every surrounding surface.
My temporary situation has given me new respect for J.J. Goode, that Hell's Kitchen contestant, and anyone else attempting to conquer the kitchen single-handed. I reread Goode's Gourmet article with deeper appreciation. Others might use having just one hand as an excuse not to cook; he sees it as a challenge that's sometimes frustrating, but one that can be met with humor and overcome with deep satisfaction. "Some people say the kitchen is where they clear their heads; for me, it's where I face my demons," he says.
Goode calls his short arm "perhaps the best of the worst" sort of handicap, and hasn't let it keep him from doing much. He played sports (including baseball) as a child, tied his shoes, says he never missed having a right arm, and thought it wouldn't interfere with anything he wanted to do for a living.
That was before he decided to become a food writer, and realized that "any self-respecting food writer should know how to cook, even if it's just for the street cred." Because he'd easily managed most everything else in life one-handed, he thought cooking would be no different until he discovered two large stumbling blocks: "wielding sharp instruments and hauling pots of boiling water."
I more or less gave up after a few lame attempts at food prep, especially after Peter got home. Goode, however, plunges into and masters recipes that call for vegetables to be cut into precise cubes or meat into thin matching strips, though it takes him much longer than the average cook. Preparation for the braised chicken meal he describes in his Gourmet piece includes him cutting a whole chicken into pieces and dicing celery, onion, and carrot into "precise little cubes."
Goode's efforts haven't just given him personal satisfaction: he's been equally successful in his food writing career, publishing articles in several national publications. Most chefs work with a professional writer when they publish a cookbook; Goode's collaboration with chef Adam Perry Lang, Serious Barbeque, made it to the New York Times bestseller list. Lang calls Goode "…a true master; probably the most talented food writer I know."
As for me, my arm is slowly improving and I'm beginning to cook more. It'll be a while, though, until I'm at Goode's level. When his dinner guests praise his braised chicken with those precisely cut vegetables, he tells them, "Thanks, it was nothing." But I know better.

Look out the window of an airplane from 35,000 feet and you'll see patterns and dimensions in the landscape unobservable from ground level. Look at the 66 books of the Bible through a similar wide-angle lens and you'll discover far more than a collection of disjointed writings. The Bible is one book, inspired by one author (God), with one supreme subject, Jesus Christ. In a sweeping study from Genesis to Revelation, Alistair Begg shows us how the storyline of the Bible reveals God's master plan to establish His eternal kingdom. Beginning in the Garden of Eden, we see a model of what God intended His kingdom to be – a place where His people live under His rule and blessing. But Adam and Eve reject God's kingship bringing death, rebellion and sin into the world. By nature mankind follows their rebellious path, while longing for a perfect king to save them. The Bible tells us that by God's grace, His plan to reconcile His people to Himself existed before the world began. Both the Old and New Testaments point unwaveringly to the One who will act as a mediator and Savior: the Lord Jesus Christ. God's intention from the very beginning was for His Kingdom to be fully and finally fulfilled in Christ. While we have been waiting over 2,000 years for Jesus' return, the book of Revelation assures us that the wait will not continue forever. The world is progressing towards God's intentional conclusion where all of God's people will live in God's place under God's rule and blessing.

College Sports Roundup: Dartmouth comeback falls short vs. Cornell
The Cornell men's hockey team jumped to a three-goal lead and held on to snare a 4-2 win over Dartmouth at Thompson Arena in Hanover Friday evening.
The win snapped a seven-game slide for the Big Red (9-13-2, 4-10-2 ECAC) and slowed Dartmouth's (11-9-4, 7-7-3) bid for a top-four seed and a first-round bye in the upcoming tournament.
Cornell limped into Dartmouth's den having lost 10 of 12 games since the start of the second half of the season. Cornell took charge in the second period on goals from Joel Lowry, Madison Dias and Greg Miller. Dartmouth, ranked 17th nationally, pulled within one goal on scores by Tyler Sikuar and Nick Bligh.
Cornell ended any hope of a last-minute tie by scoring an empty-net goal in the final minute of play. Dartmouth has not defeated Cornell in nine straight (0-7-2) contests between the two dating back to the 2010-11 campaign.
The Big Green host Colgate Saturday night.
St. Anselm 6, Southern Maine 4:
In Manchester, Tim King scored twice helping the Hawks (12-8-3, 8-7-2 ECAC) open a three-goal bulge midway through the third period, but Southern Maine (7-17, 4-13 ECAC) rallied with two scores. Joe Tebino's empty netter in the final minute ensured the win.
Women's hockey
UNH 6, Providence College 4:
In Providence, senior forward Kristina Lavoie tallied a hat trick to spark the Wildcats' (13-14-2, 9-7-1 Hockey East) victory over the Friars (14-12-2, 8-7-2). Wildcats net minder Jenn Gilligan saved 24 of the 28 shots sent her way.
Dartmouth 3, Colgate 2:
In Hamilton, N.Y., the Big Green (15-7-4, 10-6-3 ECAC) jumped out to an early three-goal lead and held off a late surge by Colgate for their third straight conference victory. Senior forward Camille Dumais netted a goal for the second straight game while freshman Laura Stacey picked up her team-leading 14th assist in the victory.
St. Anselm 11, Plymouth State 0:
In Manchester, Kathryn Picarello and Rosemarie Giarrusso each netted hat tricks helping the Hawks (16-4-4, 11-2-4 ECAC) to their fourth straight triumph. Playing in the 100th game of her career, Picarello became the third player in program history to reach the 100-point plateau. In addition to her three goals she handed out six assists and broke a school record. Her nine point-evening shattered the Hawks' previous record of five that stood for five seasons.
Ali Ponte came off the bench for Plymouth ((4-16-4, 3-10-4) and saved 34 of the 44 shots sent her way.
New England College 5, Salve Regina 2:
In Henniker, five Pilgrims scored a goal to secure a the Pilgrims' (8-10-6) home-ice victory.
Franklin Pierce 3, Sacred Heart 2:
In Winchendon Mass., Ravens freshman forward Karsyn Baker scored a shorthanded, game-winning goal and added two assists in the win while classmate Michaela Faia scored as Franklin Pierce improved to 7-13-0.
Men's basketball
Princeton 73, Dartmouth 55:
In Hanover, Princeton (12-8, 5-1 Ivy) utilized its size advantage, scoring 36 points in the paint and grabbing 14 more rebounds than host Dartmouth (6-15, 2-5 Ivy). The Tigers secured their seventh consecutive win over the Big Green.
Women's basketball
Princeton 77, Dartmouth 65:
In Princeton, N,J., the Big Green had their four-game win streak snapped despite a career-high 19-point effort from junior guard Nicola Zimmer. Dartmouth (6-14, 4-2 Ivy League) trailed for most of the game and pulled within 11 after Zimmer hit a pair of treys, but couldn't pull any closer.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) Keegan Bradley has earned nearly $8 million in his two years on the PGA Tour, enough to buy his own hamburger joint.
But work in one?
Such was the advice of someone on Twitter who was trying to antagonize Bradley over his belly putter and the proposed rule that would ban the anchored stroke it requires starting in 2016. Bradley was the first player to win a major using the belly putter, so it makes him feel like a target.
And on Twitter, there are no boundaries for taste.
``I had a guy yesterday telling me to send my application in to Burger King for 2016,'' Bradley said.
It was funny. And so was the ribbing he took from a few of his peers, which prompted the former PGA champion to take Tiger Woods' conventional putter and, with a curious crowd suddenly very interested, make three out of four putts from 10 feet.
But it's also making Bradley more motivated than ever. He wants people to understand that he uses a putter that is still legal under the Rules of Golf at tournaments like the World Challenge, where he opened with a 69 and was two shots behind Nick Watney. And he wants people to understand that he's a pretty good player for a lot more reasons than jamming the end of a mid-length putter into his stomach.
Such was the case on a cool, overcast afternoon at Sherwood Country Club, when Bradley didn't make hardly anything and still was only two shots out of the lead. The other 13 clubs were working OK, for he hit every green until a bad break with his tee shot on the 18th, leading to his lone bogey.
``If I could have made a few more putts, I probably could have been a lot lower,'' said Bradley, who paused before adding, ``I know people don't want to hear that.''
Putting was all the rage one day after the U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf Club proposed a new rule - 14.1-b - that would prohibit players from anchoring a club against the body.
Watney attributed five birdies in his last 10 holes to his putting, including a 15-foot putt for his first birdie ever on the 14th hole. Tiger Woods, the tournament host and defending champion, made a half-dozen key putts for par that kept him in the game with a 70.
Steve Stricker made news with his putter, too. He changed from the putter he has used so long that even the metal tape on the bottom looks like it has been there his entire career. He decided to go with a different putter he bought at a golf store in Wisconsin.
``Mid-life crisis,'' Stricker said with a grin.
For Bradley, it's personal.
``I hope that people look at us for the accomplishments and the players that we are, not look at us for using an unconventional putter,'' Bradley said. ``I feel like the USGA has really put an `X' on our back and really shined a light on us, and I don't know if that's exactly fair. ... When we started putting with it, they were legal, and they still are. It's a sticky situation, and I hope people can see through that.''
The World Challenge is not a hit-and-giggle at the end of the year, even with a short field, no cut and lots of holiday cash for all involved. The field is stronger than ever, with 13 players from the Ryder Cup, and it showed in the scores. On a cool, overcast day in the Conejo Valley, only eight shots separated the top (Watney) from Brandt Snedeker, bringing up the rear with a 75.
Snedeker drilled a fairway metal into 8 feet and made eagle on the 11th hole, only for his round to fall apart. He hit two provisional tee shots on the par-3 12th, didn't have to use them but still made bogey, and then he snap-hooked his next tee shot and made double bogey.
Bradley and a pair of past champions at this tournament - Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell - were two shots out of the lead at 69. Woods was in the group at 70 that included Bo Van Pelt, whom Woods beat this year at Congressional, and U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson.
But the buzz remained over the belly.
``I'm going to make a switch when I feel it's best for me,'' Bradley said. ``And whether that's tomorrow or in three years, we'll see.''
He made a temporary switch this week, only it was a joke.
Bradley heard enough teasing from his peers earlier this week that he grabbed Woods' putter.
``All of a sudden, I see everyone start to walk around and start to look,'' Bradley said. ``I took his putter, which is about the opposite of what I putt with - it's upright, it's light, it's a blade - and I made three out of four putts from 10 feet. So I made sure to remind those guys every time I see them that I made those putts.''
If only USGA executive director Mike Davis had been around, especially if Bradley had made a deal that Woods had to try his belly putter.
``You don't want to see Tiger putt with that putter,'' Bradley said. ``If it was up to me, I'd film him and send that to Mike Davis, and I think he would take the ban off.''
Woods laughed when asked about the story, saying he gives Bradley grief every day on just about any subject.
Woods supports the new rule, though he said it would be awkward for the next three years while the anchored stroke remains allowed. It is an addition to the Rules of Golf, which are only changed every four years. That's one reason why the transition period will be three years instead of one, for example.
Woods compared that with the square grooves in the Ping irons while those were being debated.
``At least they made a decision, and I think that's the positive way,'' Woods said. ``Either direction they were going to go, whether they banned it or allowed it, make a decision about it. And they did that with obviously three years out.''

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake (3-0-5, 14 points, West #3) remained unbeaten on the 2014 season on Saturday night, getting early strikes from FW's Joao Plata and Alvaro Saborio before allowing two late goals to draw Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2-2-4, 10 points, West #5) 2-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Real Salt Lake stormed out to an early 2-0 lead, with Plata scoring in the second minute and Saborio tallying in the ninth to put the Claret-and-Cobalt ahead. RSL held the 2-0 edge for most of the rest of the game, but conceded twice in the final stages, first in the 86th and again in the final minute of stoppage time to draw Vancouver 2-2.
Plata put RSL on top just 112 seconds into the match. RSL DF Chris Wingert started the play, playing a ball down the left side to Claret-and-Cobalt MF Luke Mulholland. Mulholland dummied the pass, which took a slight deflection off a Vancouver defender before Plata stepped to it just outside the area. The dynamic attacker quickly dribbled into the left side of the area, finding space away from his marker before firing a low left-footer past diving Vancouver GK David Ousted and inside the far post.
Saborio doubled RSL's lead with a gorgeous ninth-minute goal. The buildup to the strike was fantastic, with MF Javier Morales starting the move with a delicate chipped pass to Mulholland on the right wing. The Englishman neatly flicked a header down the line to DF Tony Beltran, who quickly hit a low cross to the top of the area. MF Ned Grabavoy collected the ball, keeping close control to slither by several 'Caps defenders before playing a pass through the legs of a Vancouver player to Saborio in the left side of the area. The Costa Rican international hit the ball with his first touch, deliciously curling his 12-yard left-footer into the top-left corner.
RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman nearly made it 3-0 in the 16th and 22nd minutes. The first chance came off of a set play, with Morales rolling a free kick from just outside the right edge of the area to the top of the box, where Beckerman ran onto it and side-footed a shot on frame that Ousted held. He threatened more on the second look, running onto a Plata layoff on the left side and curling a 25-yarder with the outside of his right foot inches wide of the far post.
Saborio almost bagged a second in the 35th, heading a Plata cross from the left post past Ousted but cleared off the line by 'Caps DF Johnny Leveron.
Rimando made his only save of the half in the 36th minute. Vancouver MF Russell Teibert curled a cross from the right wing to DF Jordan Harvey at the back post, with Harvey rising over Plata and heading the shot on frame. The effort wasn't too much trouble for Rimando, who slid to his left and palmed the chance over the bar.
Plata had a golden opportunity to make it 3-0 in first half stoppage time. Grabavoy collected a Morales pass just outside the arc and sprung Plata free with a through ball to the right side. Plata ran onto it for a 1-v-1 with Ousted, but couldn't quite take advantage hitting his shot off of the onrushing 'keeper after taking a somewhat heavy first touch.
The second half started rather slowly, with RSL absorbing some pressure from an improved Vancouver side. Neither team had a chance until the 69th minute, when Vancouver substitute FW Erik Hurtado meekly headed substitute MF Nicolas Mezquida's corner kick from the top of the six on frame for another Rimando save.
Saborio came inches away from registering his second brace of the season in the 80th minute. Morales delivered a curling set piece into the box from the right wing, with Saborio aggressively running onto the ball at the top of the six. The veteran striker flicked a header toward the far post, with Ousted just barely getting a finger to the shot to tip it off the crossbar. The rebound nearly inched across the goal line, flashing down off the line and then off the post before sneaking out of danger.
Mezquida clawed Vancouver back into the game in the 86th minute. 'Caps FW Darren Mattocks collected a cleared corner kick outside the box on the left side, jetting into the area and firing a shot that Rimando saved, but couldn't hold. Mezquida – who replays indicated may have been offside – pounced on the rebound, running into the six and flicking home from close-range.
Vancouver managed to find an equalizer in the last minute of stoppage time. With only seconds left in the match, Vancouver sub MF Sebastian Fernandez pounced on an RSL turnover at the center circle and managed to get off a 35-yard rocket that snuck past Rimando into bottom right corner to make things level.
Real Salt Lake will hit the road for its next match, taking on Chicago Fire at Toyota Park at 6:30 p.m. MT next Saturday. The RSL-Fire contest will be broadcast live on CW30, ESPN 700 AM and 102.3 La Gran D FM.
Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL 2–2 VAN
- With tonight's draw, Real Salt Lake remains the only undefeated team in MLS, now posting a 3-0-5 record in its first eight matches. RSL also remains undefeated at home in 2014, recording a 2-0-2 record in Utah.
- Real Salt Lake's eight-game unbeaten run to start the season is a club record, though the team had more points through eight games in both 2011 (5-1-2, 17 points) and 2012 (5-3-0, 15 points). The Claret-and-Cobalt is currently on a 12-game regular season unbeaten streak, a run that dates back to last September's win at Vancouver. That 12-game streak is the second-longest regular season unbeaten streak in club history, second only to RSL's 18-game regular season unbeaten run compiled from July 2010-April 2011.
- With his eight-game unbeaten start in 2014, RSL Head Coach Jeff Cassar now claims the longest unbeaten run to start a managerial career in MLS's non-shootout era.
- Tonight's match between Real Salt Lake and Vancouver Whitecaps FC was their first meeting of the 2014 MLS regular season. RSL continues its unbeaten run against Vancouver, extending it to five games. RSL now posts a 4-2-3 all-time record against the Cascadia side and remains unbeaten against the 'Caps in Utah with a 3-0-2 all-time record at Rio Tinto Stadium.
- RSL FW Joao Plata made a return to the starting lineup tonight, his first start since suffering a hamstring injury in RSL's home opener against LA Galaxy on March 22. Plata continued his great form, registering his third goal of 2014 in the second minute of the match. Plata recorded two goals and two assists in RSL's first three matches of the season before getting injured.
- RSL FW Alvaro Saborio notched RSL's second goal of the evening in the ninth minute of play, his fourth of the 2014 season. The Costa Rican international now has 72 goals in 123 appearances across all competitions for the Claret-and-Cobalt.
- RSL's concession of two late goals prevented RSL GK Nick Rimando from tying the MLS all-time shutout record. Retired GK Kevin Hartman solely retains the record with 112 clean sheets.
- With tonight's start, RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman moved into ninth place in MLS history with 333 regular season games played. Beckerman is seventh in MLS history with 303 career regular season starts, one shy of tying retired MF Chris Henderson for sixth-place all-time. Beckerman also sits in seventh-place in MLS history with 27,273 regular season minutes played, 90 minutes behind current New England Revolution Head Coach Jay Heaps.
- RSL MF John Stertzer made his first 2014 appearance for the Claret-and-Cobalt tonight, subbing on in the 90th minute. Stertzer's last RSL appearance came on March 23, 2013 against FC Dallas.
- RSL MF Luis Gil was absent from the lineup tonight, still recovering from a hamstring injury. In his place, MF Luke Mulholland earned his fourth start for the Claret-and-Cobalt.
- Tonight's match was likely U.S. internationals Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman along with Costa Rican international Alvaro Saborio's last home game before the trio departs for their respective World Cup preparation camps in mid-May. Real Salt Lake now begins a two-game road trip, facing Chicago Fire on May 3 and Houston Dynamo on May 11, before returning home to face Colorado Rapids on May 17.

The twin bombs at the Boston Marathon killed Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old Boston University student from China; 8-year-old spectator Martin Richard; and 29-year-old spectator Krystle Campbell. But it also injured more than 170 people: runners, couples, spectators, children. Some are in grave condition; some lost limbs or senses; all their lives will be forever touched by the bombings. Here are some of their stories.
Celeste Corcoran is a hairstylist on upscale Newbury Street, not far from the site of the bombing. Her daughter, Sydney, 17, is a senior at Lowell High School.
Celeste lost both legs below the knee and Sydney has severe injuries as well, cousin Alyssa Carter said in a fundraising page set up at GoFundMe.com. The page had raised more than $320,000 by Thursday evening.
Family members said Celeste was being incredibly positive. Her sister, Carmen Acabbo, told WJAR-TV that Celeste joked she "would be a hairstylist on wheels now."
Sydney has been through tough times before. She was hit by a car while crossing a street less than two years ago and fought to recover from a fractured skull, the Lowell Sun reported.
Nurses at Boston Medical Center were ultimately able to get the mother and daughter into the same hospital room.
"Their beds are pushed together," Carter wrote, "so they can hold hands."
Carol Downing asks herself if she could have done something differently that would have spared her daughters from Monday's bombing.
Downing was about to cross the finish line in her first Boston Marathon when the bombs went off.
Daughter Nicole Gross, 31, is a personal trainer and triathlete in North Carolina at the Charlotte Athletic Club, where her husband, Michael, is general manager. She helped her mother prepare for the race.
Downing's younger daughter, Erika Brannock, 29, teaches 2-year-olds at a preschool at Trinity Episcopal Church in Towson, Md.
Erika's leg had to be amputated. Nicole's left leg was broken and right ankle was fractured, according to WCNC-TV. Michael had injuries including third-degree burns.
Downing told WCNC that it was supposed to be a fun weekend and that her daughters were so proud of her. Then the "what ifs?" came pouring out.
"What if I hadn't qualified? What if I hadn't come? What if I had gotten sick and couldn't come?" she asked. "What if I had run faster? What if they had stood someplace different?"
Eleven-year-old Aaron Hern of Martinez, Calif., got a special visitor on Thursday.
The Kiwanis Club in his hometown posted a photo online showing Aaron and his family in his room at Boston Children's Hospital with first lady Michelle Obama. She and President Barack Obama came to Boston for an interfaith service and to visit people injured in the Boston Marathon bombings.
Aaron suffered leg wounds when the bomb went off. He was there with his father, Alan, and younger sister, Abby, to cheer his mother, Katherine, in her first Boston Marathon.
Aaron remained in critical condition Thursday, but The San Francisco Chronicle reported Aaron's mother said in a Facebook message to family and friends that he may be able to leave intensive care as soon as Friday. She said he had successful surgery Wednesday to close his wounds without the need for skin grafts.
Michelle L'Heureux was standing near the finish line to watch her longtime boyfriend finish his 11th Boston Marathon when the bombs exploded, according to her uncle Zoo Cain.
Shrapnel tore into L'Heureux's left shoulder and one of her legs. Falling glass from an adjacent building cut her face. She underwent a second surgery in Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital on Wednesday. Cain, who visited his niece in the hospital this week, said metal remains in her leg, but she's expected to recover physically.
The emotional damage could be long-term.
"Her life is altered forever," Cain said, noting his niece described seeing people with missing limbs, blood soaked streets and people running and screaming from what felt like a war zone.
L'Heureux, who Cain said was in her 30s, lives in suburban Boston and works in the finance industry. She is a native of Auburn, Maine.
"Michelle is a very beloved aunt" to her younger sister's daughters and loves her dogs, Cain said.
L'Heureux's passion is horses; Cain said she used to have her own horse and participated in horse shows before moving to the Boston area. He described her as a cheerful person.
"She loves life," he said.
Jarrod Clowery and his friends were cheering on spectators when he heard the first explosion.
"I got this feeling that we need to get into the street," Clowery said.
Clowery, 35, a carpenter, hopped over one of the metal barricades that separates spectators on the sidewalk from runners on the course when the second blast went off behind him.
"Because I was elevated on the railing, I think I avoided major, major injury," Clowery said, adding that his friends were injured much more severely.
Clowery said his hearing was diminished by about 85 percent. He has shrapnel embedded in the back of his leg and suffered flash burns.
"The Lord was watching over me, somebody was watching over me," Clowery said. "And I feel very blessed."
Kevin White says the toughest part of being injured in the Boston Marathon bombing was not being able to find his parents.
White, 35, who lives in Boston and Chicago, suffered shrapnel injuries. His mother, Mary Jo, broke several bones, and his father, Bill, had his right foot amputated. They had just left a restaurant when the bomb exploded about 10 feet away.
White, who was released from Boston Medical Center on Wednesday, says he's looking forward to reuniting with his father, who is in the intensive care unit at another hospital.
Some close family friends have an online fundraising drive to help the White family pay some of the hefty medical bills they are expected to confront during the months.
The initiative had generated more than $18,400 by late Wednesday, reaching in two days nearly its original goal of raising $20,000 in a month.
White said his family is very grateful but urged well-wishers to also donate to The One Fund Boston, the charity established to help all families affected by the bombings.

Frankenstein's Army (US - BD RA)
Gabe went in for a tonsillectomy and came out with gas-powered drill fingers...
In the dying days of World War II, a battalion of Russian soldiers find themselves lost in enemy territory in eastern Germany. One soldier (Alexander Mercury) has been ordered to make a propaganda film as the squadron makes its way across the wintry landscape, and what follows is a thrilling mix of found-footage shocks and classic horror. Stumbling upon a village decimated by an unseen terror, the Russians are lured into the secret lab of deranged scientist Viktor (Karel Roden). Viktor has unearthed the journals of the legendary Dr. Victor Frankenstein and has used them to assemble an army of supersoldiers stitched together from the body parts of fallen Germans - a desperate Hitler's last ghastly ploy to escape defeat. Leaderless and faced with dissension in their dwindling ranks, the Russians must find the courage to face down this fearsome new brigade of flesh-and-metal 'zombots' – or die trying. (From Dark Sky's official synopsis)
At its base, Richard Raaphorst's Frankenstein's Army (a title that notably did not have an apostrophe on its original trailer) is a high-concept, low budget horror flick that stands apart in a busy field, because its concept seems so inevitable I can't believe no one made it already. There have been plenty of movies about Nazi zombies (Kevin Wiederhorn's Shock Waves, Jess Franco's Oasis of the Zombies, and Jean Rollin's Zombie Lake) and even some that feature said Nazi zombies fighting Allied soldiers (Rob Green's The Bunker and Michael J. Bassett's Deathwatch), but no one has taken the idea of a Nazi zombie to its logical conclusion – Nazi zombies fitted with deadly WWII-era machinery by the grandson of Victor Frankenstein. Okay, so maybe the whole Frankenstein meets Third Reich thing has been done in comic books and pulp novels, but none of those ever featured a guy with a propeller strapped to his face (I think). Raaphorst gets a little too wrapped in the cool concept, especially during the 'everything and the kitchen sink' final act, and Frankenstein's Army comes out feeling more like a pop art exhibition than a real movie. This isn't really a mistake, though, because, before taking this first foray into feature filmmaking, Raaphorst made a living as a 'conceptual artist' and 'visualiser' for genre movies, like Brian Yuzna's Faust and Stuart Gordon's Dagon. On this level, the film mostly works – the zombots are neat and the violence is delightfully gory (like the Evil Dead remake, I can't believe this got away with an R-rating). The sillier the designs got, the more fun I had.
The experience is continuously hampered by the movie's needless found-footage filming style. This over-used gimmick rarely serves the concept and turns the more action-packed sequences into visual mud. The final act, where Viktor leads the cameraman through his circus of horrors, does eventually justify the presence of a documentarian, though I can't say that the film wouldn't have worked just as well without the actors speaking directly to screen. Raaphorst does succeed in creating and maintaining a faux-reality with editing tricks and seemingly incidental alterations, like faked lens changes, but this doesn't always translate to potent scares or the prevailing sense of dread found in the best found-footage features. The gimmick does put extra emphasis on the camera's subjective POV, making some of the action scenes feel very videogame-like. I assume this is not a mistake, especially not in the later scenes, where the audience becomes a participant via subjective camera work, and because so many of the creature designs remind me of the kind of monsters you'd run across in a Silent Hill or Resident Evil[I] game. Not to even mention all of the stuff [I]Frankenstein's Army has in common with the old PC classic, Wolfenstein. This approach is kind of clever (even if Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza's [REC] already did the whole found-footage-evoking-videogames thing years ago), but it is also frustrating, because it's not an interactive experience.
The script was co-written by Raaphorst, Miguel Tejada-Flores, who worked with Raaphorst on several horror movies, and Chris W. Mitchell, who also co-wrote a Holocaust melodrama called Suskind (so, I guess he was brought on for research purposes?). There really isn't much narrative here, more like a videogame-esque scenario (including a kind of cut scene/action scene structure) spiked by a couple of twisty character revelations, but there are some well-defined characterizations and these help delineate what could've been a completely indiscernible cast. Unfortunately, the characters are painted mostly as mean-spirited people you wouldn't want to root for anyway. The cast is fine and mostly convincing as period soldiers (despite speaking English…), but Karel Roden is acting on a whole different level. His brief scenery-chewing performance elevates the already amusing third act to near greatness.
Despite taking place in an era where handheld battlefield cameras would've probably been 8mm, 16mm tops (the filmmakers even include images of 8mm cameras being handed around and the clicking sound of film moving through a magazine), Frankenstein's Army was actually shot on Arri Alexa digital HD. Raaphorst and cinematographer Bart Beekman take pains to make the digital images look rough, including artificial scratches, lens changes, and burn-outs, but they don't really mimic the grain appearance of smaller format film. For the most part, this 1080p, 1.78:1 transfer looks like any other digital feature. Details are sometimes obscured by the stylistic choices and rapid camera movement, but, overall, textures and patterns are quite sharp from front to back without any major halo effects (again, entirely unlike 8mm or 16mm film). The dynamic ranges and contrast levels are set pretty low in an effort to create a sort of hazy look. This includes a mostly de-saturated palette. During daylight scenes, the colours appear relatively natural, as if they're being limited by the overcast look (the flesh tones and forest greens appear accurate), then, during darker scenes, the palette is sometimes limited to a soft orange, teal, and green. This leaves the blacks a bit weak, but the hue separations are tight and the bloody red highlights are poppy. It's difficult to judge the transfer's artefacts, since so many of them are intended, but I believe the occasional cross-colouration and blocking issues are unintentional.
This disc features both a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track and a lossless, PCM 2.0 track. For this review, I listened to the DTS-HD track. This is an interesting track, because, at times, the sound designers are mixing their artificial 'aged' sounds (muddied dialogue, muffled incidental sound, the aforementioned click of the camera magazine, et cetera) with aggressive, state of the art, surround sound-enhanced effects. The basic 'aural palette' is made up of the chopped-up dialogue and incidentals, which are housed in the center channel, the artificial sounds of dated recording equipment, and a sort of ambient haze that stands in for a traditional score (this includes electronic windy sounds and deep, rumbling bass). As the film progresses, more immersive sound is introduced, including subtle/creepy off-screen noise and the more active sounds of combat and zombot machinery. Once all hell has broken loose and our heroes are facing off against these nearly unstoppable killing machines, this track is awash in so much punchy noise that it stands up against much larger budget productions. The only real problem is that the loudest scenes don't have any real range – they're just sort of a wave of noise. Still, the uncompressed volume levels are very impressive.
The extras begin with an EPK-style making-of featurette (32:10, HD) that mixes fly-on-the-wall set footage with cast & crew interviews. It covers the basics of the concept, production/creature design, location scouting, shooting a promo, gore/make-up effects, and editing. Interviews include Raaphorst, Beekman, production designer Jindrich Koci, co-producer with XYZ Films Todd Brown, Unreal FX team members Xander Forterie and Roger Samuels, stunt performer Klemens Patijn, and actors Joshua Sasse, Robert Gwilym, Alexander Mercury, Luke Newberry, Hon Ping Tang, Andrei Zayats, and Karel Roden. The extras also include five creature-related teasers (Burnt-Match Man, Mosquito Man, Propellerhead, Teddy Bear Woman, and Razor Teeth), a trailer, and trailers for other Dark Sky releases.
Frankenstein's Army doesn't really work as a 'real movie,' but it is an awfully fun experience, assuming you're willing to take it on its limited terms. I think it might have been great if it wasn't for the whole found-footage thing. Those willing to accept that it makes a better trailer than a movie are in for a decent HD transfer, an outstanding DTS-HD MA soundtrack (neither of which are particularly convincing as far as the whole 'filmed on 8mm during WWII' gimmick goes), and a decent behind-the-scenes featurette with this Dark Sky Blu-ray release.

January 18, 2013 14:28 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 18, 2013) - Mundoro Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MUN) (www.mundoro.com) ("Mundoro" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its geophysics program as part of the exploration activity in Serbia. The Company's exploration work continued with regional and project scale geophysical data interpretation and targeting.
Regional Geophysics
Regional Airborne Magnetic and Gravity data covering an area of 8000 sq. km were processed, gridded, interpreted and used for targeting over the Timok Magmatic Complex, located in Eastern Serbia (Figure 1). The analysis focused on structural framework and controls in relation to geophysical signatures of known mineral deposits. The geophysical interpretation and targeting was supported widely by geological, metallogenic and geochemical data.
As a result, 22 prospective porphyry/epithermal targets were identified for follow up, eight of which fall within 100% owned Mundoro's exploration licenses (Figure 2). Defined regional targets will be followed up with detailed ground electromagnetic and electrical geophysical surveys. Interpreted results will be further used to support and focus detailed exploration and drill target generation within the Company's Timok Properties.
Borsko Jezero
The Borsko Jezero license is located approximately 2 km west of the Bor Cu-Au porphyry/epithermal deposit. The reconnaissance Audio-Frequency Magneto-Telluric (AMT) geophysical survey was completed over the Borsko Jezero license in December 2012. The full license area (45 sq. km) was covered along east-west profile lines spaced 1000 m apart. Measurements were taken every 500 m along the profile lines. Selected areas which showed promising anomalies were filled in at 500 m profiles and 250 m measurements. A total of 119 stations were surveyed collecting readings. Data passed daily quality control and verification as soon as it was measured on the field.
Analysis and interpretation of the reconnaissance survey data delineated 4 anomalous areas of interest primarily in the southern part of the license (Figure 3). These anomalies coincide with regional targets defined by the interpretation of the magnetic and gravity data and are supported by stream sediment Cu-Au-Mo-Ag-As anomalism. All of these anomalies appear to have continuity at depth and are large enough to be caused, potentially, by a mineralized body.
The most southern anomaly remains open to the south towards Mundoro's newly granted license Sumrakovac. This anomaly points towards a prospective target defined by regional magnetic data and is related to magnetic lineament intersection (Figure 4).
The Company has scheduled a denser AMT grid to follow up all the defined targets in order to better delineate the anomalies. Following the infill AMT survey, an Induced polarization (IP) chargeability survey will be carried over the AMT anomalies. Upon confirming chargeability response, the anomalies will be further modeled in 3D and drill tested.
Sampling, Analysis and Qualified Person
The Company uses the SGS managed laboratories at Chelopech, Bulgaria and Bor Serbia to assay all samples from Serbian properties. Soil and stream sediment samples are assayed in SGS Chelopech using a combination of ICP-OES and ICP-MS 4 acid digest, 49 elements; whereas gold is assayed by low level detection fire assay method 50g, AAS finish. Preparation of samples includes drying, screening to -80#, fine crushing, split and pulverizing to 75 micrometres. Rock samples are assayed in SGS Bor using ICP-MS 2 acid digest 52 elements; gold fire assay 50 g, AAS finish.
Stream sediment samples were collected from optimum trap sites for heavy minerals, wet or dry sieved approximately 2kg -1mm silt in the field. Samples were taken at regular intervals of approximately 1.5km along stream, designed to represent catchment areas of approximately 3-4km². Soil sampling was carried out along grid profiles oriented perpendicular to controlling structures of the mineralisation. Samples were collected at regular 50m intervals. Rock sampling was carried out as chip-channels in outcrops on 1 to 3m intervals collecting minimum 1kg material per meter.
In addition to laboratory's internal quality assurance quality control (QAQC) procedures the Company implements its own QAQC with systematic insertion into sample streams of certified reference materials, field duplicates and blanks. Field duplicate samples are taken every 25 samples and known standards and blanks are inserted after every 20th sample. All data collected in the field and assay results from the laboratories are routinely entered into a data base.
The technical information of this Press Release has been prepared and approved by Mr. G. Magaranov, P. Geo., the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
On behalf of the Company,
Teo Dechev, Chief Executive Officer, President and Director

Tribal police poised to take over at region's two casinos
State police's presence at Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun will soon be limited to background checks and investigations, with the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal departments handling all day-to-day law enforcement duties, state and tribal officials say.
Details of the shift in responsibility - driven largely by the tribes' desire to save money - will be spelled out in separate agreements each of the tribes has negotiated with the commissioner of the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
"We're acting as if it's already in effect," Chuck Bunnell, the Mohegans' chief of staff, said Tuesday of the "memorandum of understanding" his tribe expects to sign with the state. "At this point, it's a formality."
The Mashantuckets are ready to make a similar transition.
"At present, the tribe is awaiting final approval from the state," Bill Satti, the tribe's director of public affairs, said in a statement. "The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Police Department is poised to take over policing duties at the casino with fully staffed and trained peace officers."
State and tribal police have shared jurisdiction on the tribes' reservations, including the casinos, since the 1990s.
Both the Mohegan Tribe and the state are comfortable with the "significant presence" the Mohegan tribal police have been maintaining at Mohegan Sun, Bunnell said. And while state police may keep an office in the casino and deploy officers there from time to time, the Mohegans are no longer under any obligation to pay for them, he said.
The tribes, however, will have to pay state police for the background checks and investigations they conduct.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's revised budget proposal for the 2015 fiscal year, which begins July 1, contains no reimbursements from the tribes for state police coverage. As recently as the 2011 fiscal year, such payments totaled $7.3 million - $3.9 million from the Mashantuckets and $3.4 million from the Mohegans.
The two tribes' combined payments dropped to $4.7 million in fiscal 2012 and to $4.2 million in fiscal 2013.
Late last year, after the General Assembly authorized the transition of law enforcement duties at the casinos by passing Public Act 13-170, the state negotiated tribal payments in fiscal 2014 totaling $1.2 million - $600,000 from each tribe.
The DESPP is expected to redeploy the 27 troopers and two administrative personnel now assigned to the State Police Casino Unit.
Once the state-tribe agreements are in place, tribal police will be able to arrest non-Indians on tribal lands, including the casinos, and deliver them to state authorities for prosecution. Currently, tribal police can only "detain" non-Indians for arrest by state police.
Under the agreements, state authorities also will accept tribal police reports as official records of arrest. In turn, the tribal police departments will abide by "certain standards," Bunnell said, including state freedom-of-information requirements regarding media access to arrest logs.
Both tribal departments are staffed for the most part by former state and municipal police officers, and virtually all of them have been certified by the state Police Officer Standards and Training Council.
"We have expended a great deal of money to increase tribal policing, so it's not like we're saving $3 or $4 million dollars," Bunnell said. "But our savings will be significant. … Both the state and the tribe are finding efficiencies."

Arizona woman reviled for son's murder may go free
PHOENIX (AP) — Debra Milke was once one of the most reviled mothers around, convicted of dressing her 4-year-old son in his favorite outfit and sending him off to visit a mall Santa Claus with two men who shot the boy execution-style in the Arizona desert.
Milke said she had nothing to do with Christopher's death, but a detective testified at her 1990 trial that she had confessed to him — and him alone — in a closed interrogation room. Prosecutors said she had her son killed to collect on a $5,000 insurance policy.
Now, Milke could walk free, leaving death row behind after a federal appeals court threw out her conviction Thursday because prosecutors had not turned over evidence of the detective's history of misconduct, including lying under oath in other cases.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel concluded that prosecutors' failure to turn over the evidence deprived Milke's attorneys of the chance to question Phoenix Police Detective Armando Saldate Jr.'s credibility before jurors.
And because it was the only direct evidence tying her to the killing, that fact could have swayed the jury, the panel ruled.
"No civilized system of justice should have to depend on such flimsy evidence, quite possibly tainted by dishonesty or overzealousness, to decide whether to take someone's life or liberty," according to the opinion by Chief Judge Alex Kozinski.
Barring a successful appeal of Thursday's ruling, prosecutors will have to decide if they have enough evidence to retry Milke. The ruling doesn't toss out the supposed confession. It just allows defense lawyers to have all of the detective's police files.
The ruling has raised questions about other cases in which the now-retired Saldate gave testimony.
The court noted four cases where judges threw out confessions or indictments because Saldate lied under oath and four instances where cases were tossed or confessions excluded because Saldate violated the suspect's constitutional rights.
He was also suspended for accepting sexual favors from a female motorist he stopped and then lying about the encounter, it said.
Saldate, who was elected to a county constable post after retiring in 1990 but has now left that job, could not be reached for comment Friday.
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said he intends to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court and will argue it himself if they accept the case, saying the decision was the first to raise the issue after decades of court hearings.
"This is an outrageous crime," Horne said. "Ms. Milke was convicted of arranging for the death of her own child to improve her social life, and I hope to be able to convince the U.S. Supreme court to reverse this 9th Circuit decision."
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, who will be charged with deciding whether to retry Milke if the ruling stands, said Friday that he will have to review the available evidence and Saldate's credibility himself before deciding how to proceed. He said there may be more evidence that wasn't used at the 1990 trial.
"I want to know what the hell happened, after reading the opinion," Montgomery said. "I want to be able to review the available information and understand for myself."
But Montgomery said changes in the way rogue officers are monitored had changed greatly since 1990. Now, officers with credibility problems are tracked in a database so that those issues are caught early and disclosed to defense lawyers when necessary.
"The basic concerns that are raised in the 9th Circuit opinion, I do not believe that is anywhere near a systemic issue today," Montgomery said. "This is an instance where I need to make sure what we do is what's right rather than what's expedient."
Phoenix police declined to comment.
Milke's appellate lawyers, Mike Kimerer and Lori Voepel, said the appeals court's decision sends a clear message to police and prosecutors who don't reveal evidence that could help people accused of crimes defend themselves.
"It's one of the most scathing opinions I've ever seen the 9th Circuit write, in terms of talking about the credibility of a police officer or a law enforcement official," Kimerer said. "It almost sets the standard in terms of what we need to expect from law enforcement."
For Milke, who has always maintained her innocence, the ruling after 23 years on death row came as a shock, Voepel said.
"I said, 'Debra, we have good news. We won,'" Voepel said, recalling a phone call Thursday. "And she said, 'you're kidding, you're kidding," and I tried to explain it to her and she said just 'give me a minute here to feel this.' She's elated, to say the least."
Milke, 48, is one of three women on death row in the state.
The two men convicted in the Milke case, Roger Scott and former Milke roommate James Styers, are also on death row. Scott confessed during a police interrogation and led detectives to the boy's body. Neither Scott nor Styers testified against Milke.
The county attorney at the time, Rick Romley, was not so happy. "If she walks, it's a travesty of justice," Romley told KPHO-TV.
Christopher Milke's father, Arizona Mark Milke, was just as adamant, saying he was convinced his ex-wife killed their son.
"Why do you think two guys would just take off and kill my kid," he asked Friday. "Now, if she walks and those two get put to death, that's why this country has gone to hell, brother."
Milke criticized the 9th Circuit for overturning the case after so many other courts upheld his ex-wife's conviction. And he wasn't shy about voicing his views of Saldate.
"There's lot of cops that did good work on this case, but this lead detective, he should never been put on the case," Milke said. "Everything he did was screwed up."
Associated Press writers Paul Davenport and Amanda Lee Myers contributed to this report.

Beirut: A new video appears to show Syrian rebels killing a group of captured soldiers, drawing condemnations from human rights groups who warned today that the gunmen may have committed a war crime.
An anti-regime activist organisation said the killings took place near the northern town Saraqeb, which has been the scene in past weeks of heavy fighting between rebels and forces of President Bashar Assad`s regime.
Human rights groups said they were trying to confirm the video`s authenticity. The footage was consistent with other Associated Press reporting in the area. The video is dated Thursday, a day when the Observatory reported heavy attacks by rebels on regime checkpoints at Saraqeb.
The video shows rebels bearing and kicking a group of captured soldiers, some of the apparently wounded. The soliders are not bound or blindfolded. The rebels then shoot them to death. The exact number of soldiers in the video not clear, but appears to be around 10.
London-based Amnesty International called the video "shocking" and said it may depict a "potential war crime in progress."
A spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said it was examining the video.
"The allegations are that these were soldiers who were no longer combatants and therefore, at this point, it looks very like a war crime. Another one," the spokesman, Rupert Colville, told reporters in Geneva.
"Unfortunately this could be the latest in a string of documented summary executions by opposition factions as well as by government forces and groups affiliated with them, such as the (pro-government) shabiha" militia.
"The people committing these crimes should be under no illusion that they will escape accountability, because there is a lot of accumulated evidence, perhaps including this video," he said.
Today, the Observatory condemned the killing of nearly a dozen soldiers at the Hmeisho checkpoint. Amnesty released a highly critical statement.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, asked how rebels can demand rights at a time when they violate such rights.

Former Manchester teacher admits assaulting, abusing special education studentsBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 11. 2014 8:28PM
MANCHESTER — A former Mclaughlin Middle School special education teacher pleaded guilty earlier this week to pushing and dragging a non-verbal, blind 12-year-old student down a school hallway and tying another non-verbal 12-year-old special education student to a chair with a blanket.
Martine Gambale, 56, was sentenced Wednesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court, Northern District, on one count of simple assault and one count of false imprisonment, both misdemeanors. She was given two, 12-month suspended sentences, ordered to relinquish any and all teaching certificates to the New Hampshire Department of Education and continue mental health counseling.
The incidents happened in the fall of 2011 and during the 2011-12 school year. A gym teacher saw Gambale push the student on the back with both her hands several times to get him to move when he refused to go back to her classroom.
When the student sat on the floor, Gambale grabbed both the boy's wrists and dragged him down the school hallway. The gym teacher reported the incident to the school's administration, but police were not notified of the assault until months later in April 2012, according to Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia M. LaFrance.
The second incident happened during the 2011-12 school year. Gambale admitted to tying another non-verbal 12 year old special education student to a chair.
Another McLaughlin teacher saw the student tied to the chair by the waist with a blanket that was knotted in the back. The special education student was yelling, screaming and dragging the chair around the room.
As before, the teacher reported the incident to the school's administration but, like the assault, it was not reported to police until April 2012, LaFrance said.
As part of her sentence, Gambale was ordered not to teach, or be in a position of authority, over children or handicapped individuals, in any capacity paid or unpaid. She also must appear in court every six months for the next 10 years to affirm that she is in compliance with that prohibition.
Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Rose-Maire Balboni and First Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Maureen O'Neil prosecuted the case.

CARSON CITY — Nevada's jobless rate for 2012 was better than initially thought.
The Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation says the state's unemployment rate for the year dropped to 11.1 percent, down from a preliminary estimate of 11.6 percent.
The agency on Thursday said the state gained 18,100 jobs over the year, up from the previous estimate of 9,300.
State economist Bill Anderson says the private sector led Nevada's job growth, adding about 19,400 jobs. The public sector, however, shed 1,300 jobs.
Nevada still leads the nation in unemployment, a distinction it has held since May 2010.
The jobless rate peaked in October that year at 14 percent.

NDA Resubmission Expected in July
NDA Resubmission Expected in July
CONSHOHOCKEN, PA--(Marketwire - Jul 2, 2012) - NuPathe Inc. (NASDAQ: PATH), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of branded therapeutics for diseases of the central nervous system, today announced that it believes it has successfully completed all CMC and development work to address the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) questions related to the New Drug Application (NDA) for its migraine patch (NP101). The only remaining activity related to the NDA resubmission is the completion of writing and collation of the document. The Company expects to resubmit its NDA in July and continues to anticipate a six-month review by the FDA.
Primary activities that have been successfully completed include:
"Our team did a tremendous job designing and implementing the device enhancement and packaging modification," said Jane Hollingsworth, chief executive officer of NuPathe. "These improvements strengthen our NDA, better the patient experience and bolster the commercial opportunity for our migraine patch."
About the Migraine Patch (NP101 or Zelrix)
NP101 is an active, single-use, transdermal patch in development for the treatment of migraine. If approved, it will be the first transdermal patch for the treatment of migraine. The patch actively delivers sumatriptan, the most widely prescribed migraine medication. In three clinical trials involving more than 10,000 applications, NP101 offered patients fast onset and sustained relief of debilitating migraine symptoms including headache pain and migraine-related nausea (MRN). Because NP101 delivers sumatriptan transdermally, it may be an attractive treatment option for many of the approximately seven million migraineurs who might otherwise delay or avoid taking medication due to MRN. In addition, clinical trials suggest that many migraineurs fail to respond consistently to orally administered medications. This may result from a variety of causes including gastroparesis, a slowing of gastric absorption experienced by some migraine sufferers. The patch utilizes SmartRelief™, NuPathe's proprietary transdermal delivery technology that allows the rapid yet tightly controlled transport of medication through the skin using a process called iontophoresis. As a result and based on clinical trial experience, the patch may offer a low incidence of triptan sensations that include chest tightness, flushing and feelings of pressure and numbness.
About NuPathe
NuPathe Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative neuroscience solutions for diseases of the central nervous system including neurological and psychiatric disorders. NuPathe's lead product candidate, NP101, is an active, single-use, transdermal sumatriptan patch being developed for the treatment of migraine. In addition to NP101, NuPathe has two proprietary product candidates based on its LAD™, or Long-Acting Delivery, biodegradable implant technology that allows delivery of therapeutic levels of medication over a period of months with a single dose. NP201, for the continuous symptomatic treatment of Parkinson's disease, utilizes a leading FDA-approved dopamine agonist, ropinirole, and is being developed to provide up to two months of continuous delivery. NP202, for the long-term treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is being developed to address the long-standing problem of patient noncompliance by providing three months of continuous delivery of risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic. NuPathe is actively seeking partnerships to maximize the commercial potential for our pipeline products in the U.S. and territories throughout the world.

Following Superstorm Sandy, Rockaway residents were having a difficult time finding any form of transportation to take them to and from Manhattan, so the city instituted a temporary ferry service.
Beginning in November, it departed from Beach 108th Street and Beach Cannel Drive and stopped at Pier 11 in lower Manhattan. Free transfers are available between Pier 11 and East 34th Street in in Midtown.
Set to expire, the city announced that it would continue offering the service through Labor Day.
"Ridership numbers show that this new ferry service is an important transportation option for Rockaway residents," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "The continuation service, along with the additional weekend service we have also added, will allow the Rockaways to keep rebounding from Sandy."
The city estimates that roughly 90,000 people have used the service since it began.
On weekdays, a one-way trip costs $2 and service begins at 5:45 a.m. and runs until 9:20 a.m., with service resuming during the evening rush hours.
The city will also be subsidizing an additional boat, which will provide three additional runs from each morning and evening. During the weekend, the ferry will also stop at Beach 108th Street and Beach Channel Drive.
"Kudos to Mayor Bloomberg and Deputy Mayor Steel for continuing ferry service to and from the Rockaways," said Councilman Eric Ulrich. "Thanks to strong demand, high ridership and local support, fast reliable and convenient transportation is here to stay."

WALTHAM, Mass. – In their second home meet of the 2012-13 season, the Brandeis Swimming and Diving teams picked up 10 victories in a pair of losses to Roger Williams University. The men fell 144-110, while the women lost 152-116.
The Brandeis women had two multiple winners, as the team swept both of the breaststroke and backstroke events.
Senior Holly Spicer (Northampton, Mass./Northampton) won both of the breaststroke events, setting personal bests in the process. The senior won the 100-yard race in 1:10.65 and the 200 in 2:34.02.
Rookie Fay Laborio (Cranston, R.I./Cranston West) picked up the first two wins of her Brandeis career in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke. Laborio won the 100 with a time of 1:07.58, and finished off the sweep with a time of 2:24.17 in the 200.
On thhe men's side, Brandeis was led by rookie Brian Luk (Hong Kong/Northfield Mount Hermon), who picked up three victories in the meet. Luk won the 100-yard freestyle in 49.74 seconds, the 200-yard freestyle in 1:50.28 and the 100-yard butterfly in 55.97. His performance in both the 200 free and the butterfly were new personal bests.
Sophomore Max Fabian (Keene, N.H./Oak Meadow) was a double winner for the Judges in the distance events. Two weeks after setting a school record in the 1000-yard freestyle, Fabian again grabbed first in the event. He finished with a time of 10:06.76, nearly 26 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, Roger Williams senior Tim Ragan (Topsfield, Mass./Masconomet). Fabian also won the 500 free with a time of 5:00.59 and finished second in the 200-yard breaststroke, touching the wall in 2:22.34.
Rookie Theresa Gaffney (Braintree, Mass./Braintree) rounded out the winners for the Judges. The distance swimmer finished first in the 1000-yard freestyle with a time of 11:49.30.
Other top finishers for the Judges included rookies David Lazarovich (Stowe, Vt./South Burlington) and Lauren Cruz (Redmond, Wash./Hamilton East-Steinert), both of whom finished second in the 200-yard individual medley. Lazarovich finished with a time of 2:12.65, while Cruz touched the wall in 2:27.57.
Brandeis grabbed second place in both of the 50-yard freestyle events as well.

The Stand Alone Version of the SNAP Pre-Screening tool is no longer available. However, we encourage you to use our Online Pre-Screening Tool at: http://www.snap-step1.usda.gov.
The Pre-Screening Tool can help determine if you may be eligible to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. If your State has its own screening tool, you may be forwarded to that tool. The Pre-Screening Tool is not an application for SNAP. To apply for benefits, or for information about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, contact your local SNAP office.
