Nine people were taken to the hospital after a school bus struck the rear of a passenger car on 10th Street Monday afternoon.
Nine people were taken to the hospital after a school bus struck the rear of a passenger car on 10th Street Monday afternoon.
"We got a call at 3:56 p.m. and the officer arrived at 3:57 p.m.," Police Chief Mark Kearse told the Daily News.
"Both vehicles, the bus and the passenger car, were eastbound on 10th Street at Greenbriar," the chief said. "The car stopped for a left turn. The bus rear-ended the passenger car."
Kearse said the initial call came from an official at the school bus barn who said there were no injuries.
"But when the officer arrived at the scene, there were seven children from the bus transported to the hospital," Kearse said. "There were no visibile injuries. The kids were complaining of headaches, aches and pains from the jolt."
Four people were in the passenger car, the chief said, two children and two adults.
"Both adults were also transported," he said. Again, there were no visible injuries, but the individuals complained of aches.
Names were not available at press time.
The driver of the car was cited for driving without an operator's license, the chief said. "She was one who went to the hospital."

Hi guys, I lurk here all the time but have only posted once. There's nothing I could add that someone here hasn't covered already. One thing has been bugging me about the Pats' last drive yesterday, and I apologize if this has been covered and I missed it.
On the sack, the Pats got called for illegal motion and the Hawks declined the penalty. Once the ball was reset, shouldn't the clock have started since it was a declined penalty? I am fairly sure the Pats were out of timeouts at that point and the clock they have on the TV stayed at 52 seconds. I was losing my mind yelling at the tv. Am I wrong on that rule or shouldn't the clock have been running?
I tried asking Pereira on twiiter but apparrenly he was only watching our game long enough to complain that they got the interference wrong on the Edwards TD and that it should have been offensive interference

The Generosity of Texas Rangers Fans
For 26 families in Connecticut, I can't even imagine how the holidays are handled this year. They are face to face with tragedy during what is supposed to be the most joyous time of the year. The American people feel great sorrow over what happened at that elementary school, but these families literally had their hearts torn from their chests.
While tragedies like these are horrific on its face, they also provide the morbid benefit of leading to societal change and incredible outpourings of goodness. Societal change could be coming in the way of stricter gun control laws. Incredible outpourings of goodness are exemplified by Texas Rangers fans.
There are a couple of web sites that are must visits for die-hard Texas Rangers fans. They are both listed on the right hand side of this blog for easy one click access. They are Lone Star Ball, which is an affiliate of SB Nation. The other is The Newberg Report, from Jamey Newberg, who also releases an awesome Newberg Report book every year chronicling everything that was the Texas Rangers for the season: the big league club, the minors, prospects and trade rumors for the year. I'm willing to bet most wired-in Texas Rangers fans visit at least one of these sites on a regular basis.
I bring these sites up because of what they've carried out in the midst of tragedy. One of the victims of the shooting in Connecticut was 7-year-old Emilie Parker. In learning more about her, it was revealed that little Emilie was a Texas Rangers fan.
Almost as soon as this knowledge came to light, the folks at Lone Star Ball started up a memorial fund for Emilie's family. Within days, Rangers fans contributed over $7,000 to the fund. That was just the beginning. Jamey Newberg was preparing his annual book release party in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and announced that every dollar raised in the auction and raffle of donated items would go to the Emilie Parker Memorial fund. Jamey had his party last night (12/19) and the auction and raffle, as of this writing, raised over $19,000 for the Fund.
I've read that Emilie's father was stunned by the outpouring of monetary support and promised to share the proceeds of the Memorial Fund with other families affected by the Newtown tragedy.
I, like almost every member of the human race, wish what happened at Newtown could be undone and all those who perished could once again be walking on the face of our planet. At the same time, I'm now reminded why Texas Rangers fans are some of the greatest fans in all of sport. I'm proud to be a member of that fraternity.
I wish you all the happiest of holiday seasons. Enjoy your families. Hug them. Let them know how much you love them. And pray that those 26 families can somehow find some peace this Christmas.

CLEVELAND — Two of the three women held captive for a decade at a rundown Cleveland house were welcomed home by jubilant crowds of loved ones and neighbors with balloons and banners Wednesday as police built a case against the three brothers under arrest.
The families of the two young women, Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry, took them inside, past hundreds of reporters and onlookers. Neither woman spoke, and their families pleaded for patience and time alone.
"Give us time and privacy to heal," said Sandra Ruiz, DeJesus' aunt. Ruiz thanked police for rescuing the three women and urged the public not to retaliate against the suspects or their families.
Charges were expected by the end of the day against the owner of the house where the women were discovered, Ariel Castro, 52, and brothers Onil, 50, and Pedro, 54. Police said they apparently bound their captives with ropes and chains.
In a development that astonished and exhilarated much of Cleveland, the three women were rescued on Monday after Amanda Berry, 27, broke through a screen door at the Castro house and told a 911 dispatcher: "Help me. I'm Amanda Berry. I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm, I'm here, I'm free now."
DeJesus, who disappeared in 2004 and is in her early 20s, arrived home in the afternoon Wednesday to chants of "Gina! Gina!" Wearing a bright yellow hooded sweat shirt, she was led through the crowd and into the house by a woman who put her arm around the young woman's shoulders.
Berry arrived at her sister's home, which was similarly festooned with dozens of colorful balloons and signs, one reading "We Never Lost Hope Mandy." Hundreds cheered wildly but weren't able to get a glimpse of Berry as she went in through the back.
The third captive, Michelle Knight, 32, was reported in good condition at Metro Health Medical Center, which a day earlier had reported that all three victims had been released. There was no immediate explanation from the hospital.

I know he's a young quarterback and he's on the learning curve just like every young quarterback comes into this league. I've been extremely impressed with some of the things he's done and I think he has a bright, bright future. It's easy to talk about Andrew Luck and RGIII, first and second pick of the draft. Obviously those guys have more upside than you could ever imagine. Really, all of them."

Wedding Photography in St. Joseph Mo
Wedding Photography in St. Joseph Mo - Things Have Changed
Anyone planning to have a wedding wants a photographer to take shots of the wedding ceremony to capture the moment that can be shared forever. This is why numerous small and independent photographers are now offering wedding packages in St. Joseph Mo. This is another reason why it is vital that a photographer stay in tune with the latest equipment and processes for producing quality wedding photographs.
The wedding photographer in St. Joseph Mo needs to do whatever is necessary to produce a quality product whether the wedding is indoors or outdoors. A qualified photographer in St. Joseph Mo will be able to provide prints, digital slide shows and possibly an album to showcase the special event.
Wedding photography has a history dating back to 1826 and is somewhat connected to Josephe Nicephore Niepce, who at that time, had difficulty producing prints because of the time involved with exposure. It sort of sounds like that first year in photography doesn't it?
The steady, ongoing work produced from wedding photography generates the majority of new clients for most photography studios and freelance photographers. A wedding photographer in St. Joseph Mo will need to comfortable with the following activities and skills:
Candid shots (photojournalistic) and posed shots
Making slides, prints, and slideshows (digital or otherwise)
Traditional albums
Taking shots in the outdoors at a party, beach, or rustic locale
Snapping shots indoors at a temple or church
Photographers in St. Joseph Mo may sell additional prints to the couple through a web site with thumbnail galleries and an e-commerce back-end, often in conjunction with a vendor or broker website that charges a commission for each print purchase.
The common types of wedding photography include the photojournalistic realism and spontaneous photographer behavior of some, the classic or traditional posed method, and a hybrid of the two called fashion-based wedding photography.
In St. Joseph Mo, there are often studios devoted to wedding photography because photography for the wedding is such a mammoth market in metropolitan areas. People are always moving in and out and getting married. Take a look at a portfolio of the photographer's former work for assurance.
This really set the direction for wedding photography as a service for all weddings and an industry in general. Note that in the past most photos were not taken during the ceremony, but afterwards once here guests had changed into appropriate attire for the wedding photos.
It is almost humorous when we think about the hoops our ancestors had to jump through just to capture a wedding day photograph. Fortunately for us modern technology has changed everything.

Alberto Sabino, born on July 2, 1952 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, moved to Rio de Janeiro shortly after his birth. He obtained a postgraduate degree in economics. He has lived inDüsseldorf, München, Cascais
In 1980, Sabino was working at the Chase Manhattan Bank in Rio de Janeiro when he decided to move to Germany. He travelled throughout Europe, from Greece to Norway, to experience the different cultures and landscapes. These travels would later provide sources for inspiration to his designs.
After a year living in Europe, Sabino went back to Rio de Janeiro to start a fashion jewelry business with his family. The important Brazilian soap opera writer, Gilberto Braga, wroteBrilhante, a story about a jewelry designer, Luisa, played by Vera Fischer. Luisa had a partner, and Alberto Sabino used to go to Rede Globo Studios at Usina, to teach Vera Fischer about jewelry and to build the set for Luisa's atelier.
Sabino's collections were presented at official fashion shows in Rio de Janeiro and sold all over the country and abroad. In the beginning of the 1990s, Sabino decided to move to Europe to try a new market for the business, living in Portugal with his beloved Tania. The distance didn't help to improve the relationship with the partners. Tania wanted Alberto to rent a Quinta in Sintra and begin a new life as a writer. They finally decided to live in Cascais and started to travel very often. By that time Alberto Sabino made his first trip to the Orient: China and Hong-Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Bali and other countries. The signs to a renewed jewelry designer started to grow. They lived surrounded by beauty, not only nature, but also nice hotels like Cipriani in Venice, Villa Principe Leopoldo in Lugano, Hotel d'Inghilterra in Rome, many small and charming "Relais et Châteaux" in France, The Four Seasons, in Milan; a long and expressive list.
This "fairy tale" was not so perfect, though, and Alberto Sabino decided do go back to Brazil, where he started to design pieces for his own brand. In 1996 the first Official Alberto Sabino Collection was introduced to the press, beginning a new era for the designer.

In Stanczyk's last post I was pondering why my grandmother did not disembark in NYC, but disembarked from Philadelphia instead heading to Buffalo area by train.
So I brainstormed two possible explanations:
- Hurricane
- Dock Strike
Sorry my brain is tired these days I am sure there are even more besides the obvious, "Maybe she just missed her embarkation point in NYC."
As the picture shows, a mild season, but Tropical Storm (#4 — no names in those years) may have influenced the ship crossing as it was in the same time frame. But coming from the south I would have thought it may have driven the ship to NYC, not to the more southerly Philadelphia in an emergency. So perhaps a hurricane is not the explanation. I will have to keep searching.
I guess it was Hurricane Irene that came by this season with its horrific floods in the north-east (and here in PA and NJ as well as the VT pics we have all seen) that made me think of and search for that. After I wrote the article I realized it is exactly 98 years today (9/15), since my grandmother arrived in Philadelphia.
In my searches, I also found out about the Hurricane of 1913 on the Great Lakes (called the "Big Blow"). Check out these Ohio Historical Society Newspaper pages. This may at least partially explain why my Aunt Kitty was born in Depew (St Augustine parish) in 1914 and not in Toledo, OH, as her next three siblings were. This "Big Blow" caused a blizzard, wreaking havoc in Ohio/Ontario and eliminating chances to migrate further west (by train or Lake Steamship) for many months. Something like 250-300 men lost their lives upon 14 vessels that were lost on the Great Lakes during this EPIC storm of 1913. Even the trains were stranded and food left undelivered for a long time — causing food shortages.
I wonder if my KUSCHWANTZ (Toledo) blogger pal has any posts about that 1913 winter in Ohio. See my blogroll for Donna's very well done blog about Polish genealogy in Toledo area.
On to the next possibility …
[To see what Donna from the Kuschwantz blog wrote, click on read more]
Post Scriptum
Donna Mierzejewski-McManus, in her blog Kuschwantz, took up the mantle of searching out OH material on the "Big Blow" Great Lakes storm of 1913. Her excellent piece complete with a list of ships affected is at her blog from 9/24/2011:
If you go to Books.Google.com – Google on "THE BIG BLOW 1913" you will find the first two pages have the most relevant books on this topic. There also appears to be a 1938 paperback (by The Call Camera) that is out of print on this storm.
Nice work!

Santa Fe Opera announces 2015 season
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The Santa Fe Opera's 2015 season will feature a world premiere, five new productions and three firsts.
The opera's general director, Charles MacKay, announced the lineup during a news conference Tuesday.
The season will start July 3, 2015, with "The Daughter of the Regiment."
The season will also feature the world premiere of "Cold Mountain," the first opera by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon. The story started as a best-selling novel by Charles Frazier and was later turned into an Academy Award-winning film.
MacKay called it a magnificent story, saying the Santa Fe Opera is honored to play a role in its transformation into an opera.
"Cold Mountain" has been three years in the making. After its premiere in Santa Fe, the opera will be performed in Philadelphia in 2016.

Indian Kumbh Mela festival
14 Jan- 10 March 2013
Millions of devout Hindus led by naked ascetics with ash smeared on their bodies plunged into the frigid waters of India's holy Ganges River in a ritual they believe can wash away their sins. The ceremony in the northern city of Allahabad took place on the most auspicious day of the Kumbh Mela, or Pitcher Festival, one of the world's largest religious gatherings that lasts 55 days. Over 110 million people are expected to take a dip at the Sangam, the place where three rivers — the Ganges, the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati — come together at the edge of this North Indian city.

Islamist rebels gaining ground in Mali
14 Jan 2013
Islamist militants gained ground in one Malian town even as government troops stepped up their offensive to wrest control from rebels. Word of the rebels' advance came as the U.N.

World leaders from a number of countries have said they'll send troops or provide logistical support for the fight against Islamist militants in the West African nation. [4]
Cuba loosens travel restrictions
14 Jan 2013
Cubans will no longer need an exit permit and a letter of invitation from someone in another country to travel abroad. Shortly after Fidel Castro took power in 1959, stringent travel laws were put in place to stem an exodus from Cuba. Now Cubans will require only a passport to travel internationally and can stay abroad for two years -- more than twice as long as the previous restriction -- without losing their property or ability to return to the island.

19-21 Dec 2012
A fascinating hybrid of Christian and ancient Mayan culture, Crique Jute's Deer Dance Festival is off the beaten track, but well worth a detour. Obscure ritualistic dances are performed and participants attend to the elaborate preparation of a greasy pole.

President Mohamed Morsi condemned Israel's continuing air offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza on Thursday, 15 Nov 2012, and ordered his prime minister to visit the embattled enclave, sounding an angrier and more confrontational tone toward Israel than has been evident from Cairo in decades.

Islamist Rebels Destroy Historic Shrines of Timbuktu—a UNESCO World Heritage Site
1 July 2012
Members of the rebel group Ansar Dine called for the destruction of all of the historic shrines of Timbuktu and began carrying out the destruction of several over the past few days. The group has implemented sharia law in areas it controls, including mandatory veils for women, the stoning of adulterers, & mutilation of thieves. The Islamist rebels have now called for the destruction of all shrines in the city, considering them to be a form of idolatry forbidden in their view of Islam (although revered by local Sufis). One shrine was destroyed in May and this past weekend armed men, including many foreigners, surrounded six shrines and began to destroy them using shovels, axes, and smashing objects inside. Thirteen other shrines, dating from as early as the 13th century, are among those composing the World Heritage Site. Mali's government has called the actions a 'war crime' and there has been plenty of outcry from UNESCO members as well. An Ansar Dine spokesperson replied "We are subject to religion and not to international opinion." The group, along with secular Tuareg rebels, captured much of northern Mali in March, and after a short joint rule, the former gained control of the region, forcing over 300, 000 residents to flee, including most of Timbuktu's population. There is also concern for 700, 000 ancient manuscripts kept in the city .BBC article UNESCO WHS listing
Solomon Islands Host Quadrennial Festival of Pacific Arts
1 July 2012
The Solomon Islands will host the largest cultural festival in the South Pacific, the quadrennial Festival of Pacific Arts, which runs from July 1-14. The festival, held every 4 years since 1972, brings together artisans from 27 Pacific nations and territories to showcase crafts, music, dance, literature, and more. The theme for this festival is "Culture in Harmony With Nature". Delegates are selected by their home country/territory and attend the festival to showcase their home rather than compete—a rare cultural exchange between somewhat simmilar cultures that are separated by long distances and few transport options. Events will be held in purpose built a purpose-built village near Honiara, with some festivities held in other locations. The Solomon Islands claim this to be their biggest tourism event ever and are improving tourist facilities and cleaning up the image of Honiara. National airline Solomons Airlines is adding extra flights between Honiara-Brisbane, Australia around the festival. The next FoPA won't be held until 2016 in Guam. [54]

N.Y. Giants vs Redskins Gameday thread
Washington Redskins' Game Day discussions for 2003, 2004, and 2005

N.Y. Giants vs Redskins Gameday thread
The Redskins have run the ball well the past five weeks, and there is no reason to think that will stop. Look for them to attack on the right side, where rookie defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka is starting in place of Michael Strahan, who is out with a foot injury. Kiwanuka is giving up 40 pounds and six years of experience to Redskins right tackle Jon Jansen.
The Redskins need to get the ball downfield, though, and that is a bigger problem. Giants cornerbacks R.W. McQuarters and Sam Madison are capable of containing wide receivers Santana Moss and Brandon Lloyd.
Redskins tight end Chris ey was the beneficiary of tight coverage on Moss last week and could be a major factor tonight when he's matched up with strong safety Gibril Wilson or linebacker Carlos Emmons.
Giants middle linebacker Antonio Pierce is a former Redskin and still holds a grudge that they let him get away in free agency. Like all linebackers, though, Pierce is vulnerable in two-deep zones. That's to the Redskins advantage if they can get wide receiver Antwaan Randle El open down the seam, something they haven't done with much success this season
The Giants' passing game has all but disappeared in recent weeks. That's good news for the Redskins, because their pass defense has been missing in action most of the season. This week's matchup of Plaxico Burress on Redskins cornerbacks Carlos Rogers or Kenny Wright should give Giants quarterback Eli Manning reason for optimism. Expect to see the Redskins play a lot of zone.
The problem with that strategy is that middle linebacker Lemar Marshall is having a tough season in pass coverage and gets into some mismatches when the Redskins go to their two-deep zone.
Giants running back Tiki Barber is playing the last regular-season game of his career. Barber has gained 409 yards in his past three games against the Redskins and undoubtedly will get the ball plenty tonight
With Chad Morton, a former Redskin, out with a knee injury, rookie Sinorice Moss will get his second chance as a kickoff returner. He averaged 23.2 yards in that role last week against New Orleans. Moss is the younger brother of Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss.
Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham has been getting good hang time and depth on his kickoffs. His 52-yard field goal last week has coach Joe Gibbs excited about the kicking future in Washington.
Randle El, also a punt returner, is a threat who has been thwarted in recent weeks. Tonight will be a tough go for him because the Giants give up an average of 4.3 yards per punt return.
Very little that Redskins coach Joe Gibbs has tried lately has been successful. Nothing Giants coach Tom Coughlin has tried lately has been successful. Coughlin shouldn't have to worry about his team's effort. Gibbs says he never has to worry about that, but he says it so often, you start to think he might be a little worried about it.
With a playoff berth at stake, Coughlin has given play-calling responsibility to quarterbacks coach Kevin Gilbride instead of offensive coordinator John Hufnagel. Advantage: Even
The Giants have everything to play for. If they win, they're practically assured of a playoff berth. Then again, the Giants had a lot to play for last week and lost at home to New Orleans 30-7. And the Giants had a lot to play for the week before, and lost to Philadelphia at home.
The Redskins have nothing to play for and probably will be playing in front of a less-than-capacity crowd. But they did beat the Giants at FedEx Field last season after getting blown out in Giants Stadium

Oh great, we were close to scoring but Betts fumbled the ball again and the Giants returned it to our 12 yard line. Of course, I didn't see it since the game is on the NFL Network. Thankfully, I can listen to it on the radio.
Yep. Helmet ball and TripleXESPN Radio.
Is this typical, or what? Skins move down the field = Zip. Giants w/minus yards lead 3-0.

TD Skins! ARE threw a 48 yard TD to Moss. Apparently under-thrown but Moss came back to get it at the 1 yard line and then scored.
Well here's a chance for the D to make some plays and hold them down in their end.
