Ride Set To Remember Deceased Hopkins Cyclist Patch North Baltimore, MD --

Family and friends will mark the two-year anniversary of the incident that killed Johns Hopkins University student Nathan Krasnopoler with a memorial bike ride.

The ride will start at 6:30 p.m., on Tuesday, at the scene of the crash that took his life in front of the Broadview Apartments, 116 W. University Parkway, according to a news release.    

Nathan’s parents have launched an organization Americans for Older Driver Safety to lobby for laws requiring more rigorous standards for elderly drivers to retain their licenses.

Krasnopoler, 20, was hit in February of 2011 when a then 83-year-old woman driving a car ran him over while he was riding his bike in a designated bike lane near Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood Campus.

He died of his injuries six months later after he was left in a coma with irreversible brain damage.

Jeanette Marie Walke, the driver, eventually plead guilty to failing to yield right of way to a bicyclist in a designated lane in May of 2011 and was fined $220.

This is the second year a memorial ride has been held in Krasnopoler’s memory.

Catherine McKenzie: 52 Books, 52 Weeks, Week 8: The Comfort of Lies

$

So this week's read was a wildcard, i.e. book I think should be on the bestseller list, The Comfort of Lies by Randy Susan Meyers. And while that may not have come true -- yet -- I'm sure this is mostly related to the fact that the book is caught up in the Simon & Schuster fight with Barnes and Noble. Physical bookstores still matter, people, so if you want to read this book bug your local indie to order it!

Anywho, The Comfort of Lies is a complex tale that explores the potential results of infidelity and the choices we make in life. The book opens with Tia, a girl in her twenties who's having an affair with Nathan, a married man. She's pregnant and she thinks this will finally be the impetus for him to leave his wife and kids. It isn't. Instead, he asks her to "take care of it," something her Catholic upbringing revolts against. But she feels like she can't raise a baby, so instead, she gives it up for adoption.

Enter Caroline, her daughter's adoptive mother who is ambivalent about being a mother of any kind. She agreed to the adoption because her husband wanted it and she couldn't find the words to tell him no.

Five years later, Tia decides that she wants to know more about her daughter than the yearly photographs she receives from Caroline, and that Nathan should know that she went through with the pregnancy. Only, her letter to him gets intercepted by his wife, Juliette. Juliette knows about the affair--and decided to stay in the marriage--but not about the child. Finding this out sends her off the deep end and there is where the meat of the novel lies.

Sounds good, right? (If it doesn't, I did a bad job at summarizing it.) It is. Meyers, who had a breakout hit with her first novel The Murderer's Daughters, has a knack for writing characters that you don't necessarily like, but that you want to know more about anyway. Based on her first two books, I'd say it's kind of her signature. Because many of these characters aren't an easy like, something that usually turns me off a book, but didn't here. I might not have understood Tia's motivations, or Nathan's, but I still wanted things to work out for them. I still wanted to know how the knot they were all tangled in would be undone.

Meyers' solution to that problem is not predictable or a platitude, either. It is simply satisfying. And so I recommend you read this book because it will make you think and wince and maybe even cry. Because it is good.

(Sidebar -- I love, love, love this book's cover. Whoever designed it is a cover genius.)

So, on to week... 9? Where did the time go? Safe Haven is still #1 but Maeve Binchy's new, and last, book, A Week in Winter is number #2, so that's what I'm reading. It's been a while since I read a Binchy book, but I've always enjoyed them in the past. If you want to know what the Goodreads group thinks about it, come check it out.

Rumor is, Randy Susan Meyers will be taking questions ... Reported by Huffington Post 6 hours ago.

Gov. Deal Suspends Six DeKalb School Board Members

Gov. Deal Suspends Six DeKalb School Board Members Patch North Druid Hills-Briarcliff, GA --

Gov. Nathan Deal announced Monday that he is signing an executive order that accepts the State Board of Education's recommendation that six DeKalb school board members be removed.

Deal made the announcement Monday afternoon during a press conference at the state capitol. Board members Marshall Orson, Jim McMahan and Melvin Johnson were spared from Deal's order because they were elected in November and did not take office until January.

Prior to the announcement, Deal huddled with members of the DeKalb legislative delegation for several minutes.

Deal has also appointed a nominating committee to recommend new members of the school board, composed of Keith Mason, a current member of the State Board of Education and who will chair the committee; Jim Bostick, a former member of the state board of education; Sadie Denard, a member of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce; Alicia Phillip, president of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta; and Garry McGiboney, also a member of the state board of education.

After a 14-plus-hour meeting this past Thursday, the State Board of Education voted to recommend that Deal remove six members of the DeKalb school board.

The board voted unanimously to recommend that Sarah Copelin-Wood, Donna Edler, Eugene Walker, Jay Cunningham, Nancy Jester and Pamela Speaks be removed from the DeKalb school board.

However, in a legal move late Friday afternoon, the school board filed an emergency motion in federal court, hoping to stop the governor from taking any action. Former District 2 board member Don McChesney weighed in an the legal wrangling last week.

Over the weekend, a federal judge issued a restraining order that prevents the suspension of six DeKalb school board officials by Gov. Nathan Deal. The order does not prevent Deal from suspending the school board members, but does prohibit their actual suspension until a hearing is convened on Friday.

Even if Michael Laudrup did go, it would not affect Swansea's capital | Andy Hunter

Sunday's Wembley winners are confident they can maintain momentum even if their manager is poached by a bigger club

Swansea City were in the midst of their Capital One Cup celebrations when Michu turned to the man who brought him to the club last summer, Michael Laudrup, and begged him to stick around for European football. By contrast, more seasoned Swansea players were notably phlegmatic about their manager's future. It was not a lack of feeling for the Danish legend – a team effort was required to throw him into the Wembley air after all – but absolute faith in the foundations of the club that shaped their post-cup final version of "Que Sera, Sera". It is not intended for the progress that the chairman, Huw Jenkins, has orchestrated to halt now.

Swansea were unaccustomed to the expectation that followed them into Sunday's final against League Two Bradford City but they are familiar with losing managers and their best players. Nothing has interrupted their 10-year progress from relegation candidates to the Conference to being an attractive, cup-winning Premier League team.

Last summer it was the manager Brendan Rodgers and Joe Allen who left for Liverpool. The harsh reality of this season's improvement is renewed doubt over Laudrup's future, although the manager insists the final 12 months of his contract will be honoured, and that of 19-goal Michu and the central defender Ashley Williams, who is now wanted at Anfield.

It is the club model that Premier League rivals should covet most, however. The south Wales club made a £14.6m profit from its inaugural season in the Premier League last year. That enabled investment in a soon-to-be-opened training complex for the first and youth teams, while the promise of a second season in the top flight triggered a planning application to increase the Liberty Stadium's capacity by 10,000 to over 30,000 seats.

Wages accounted for a healthy 52% of a £65m turnover thanks to a salary cap that ensures no Swansea player earns more than £35,000 a week. They are all on heavily incentivised contracts and win bonuses of £5,000 a game are attractive even by Premier League standards. Then there is the playing philosophy insisted upon by Jenkins, chairman of a board made up entirely of Swansea fans, with the Supporters' Trust that helped save the club in 2002 still retaining a 20% stake. Insistence on a passing style shaped the successive appointments of Roberto Martínez, Paulo Sousa, Rodgers and Laudrup as manager and also minimised the disruption when the Dane's predecessors departed.

Nathan Dyer, a £400,000 signing from Southampton in 2009 and man of the match at Wembley, said: "The chairman has had four managers since I've been at the club. He's brought in the right guy every time. We've never taken a step backwards. He knows what he's doing.

"I didn't have any fears for this season when Brendan Rodgers left. Not at all. I didn't see how that can happen. It's not going to completely change. No matter who comes in, the chairman has a philosophy about how he wants to play football. He will find the right man to take it forward.

"Every manager brings in different things. Michael Laudrup was an amazing player. The experience and knowledge he's brought has been unbelievable. It's about having the right manager but at the end of the day we still have the players who can play football. It's not like just because we lose a manager we are going to be fighting relegation. That makes no sense. Whoever takes charge and does well is going to attract bigger clubs."

Swansea have the attraction of Europe to assist transfer negotiations this summer although, as Dyer points out and Sunday's immaculate display illustrated, the gradual improvement of the squad is under way. "I think we've already shown we can attract better players," said the source of two goals and one almighty penalty strop against Bradford. "With the likes of Michu, Pablo [Hernández] and Chico [Flores] that we brought in, it's not as though we are attracting smaller players. It's not about getting the biggest players, it's about getting the right players for our team and the way we play."

Jenkins revised Rodgers's contract at Swansea, one that included a £5m release clause, just months before the manager joined Liverpool. He is seeking similar protection from Laudrup, whom he hopes to secure on a new two-year deal, and gave Michu a new four-year contract in January. Swansea are insured against losses but are now seeking greater stability.

As Garry Monk, the club captain, explained: "For a number of years now we have lost our manager after a successful period and have managed to bounce back. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. It's important to the club that we get some longevity, and continuity would be nice for the club. It's important. But we've lost managers in the past and maintained our standards and, if anything, we have improved."

**Hot Swans who are in demand**

*Michael Laudrup *The Dane has enjoyed a sensational first season in charge at Swansea, and having initially had his managerial credentials questioned following brief spells at Getafe, Spartak Moscow and Mallorca, the 48-year-old is now being linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid. A poll in the Spanish sports daily AS showed 73% of Real fans want Laudrup to replace José Mourinho at the Bernabéu next season.

*Michu *Without doubt the Spaniard is the Premier League's bargain buy of the season. He cost only £2m from Rayo Vallecano in the summer and has gone on to score 19 goals already, including Swansea's second in their mauling of Bradford. Tall, strong, creative and with an eye for goal, Michu appears to be the complete centre-forward and it appears inevitable that sizable bids will come in for the 26-year-old.

*Ashley Williams *Aside from being accused by Sir Alex Ferguson of setting out to "kill" Robin van Persie, the Swansea captain has been the recipient of plaudit after plaudit this season, one in which he has established himself among the most dominant central defenders in the Premier League. Williams, who is also the Wales captain, has been at Swansea since 2008 and may feel this summer is the best time for him to pursue a move to a bigger club.

*Michel Vorm *Technically Vorm is not one of Swansea's League Cup heroes given Gerhard Tremmel played ahead of him in goal throughout the successful campaign, and this has also been a season of frustration for the Dutchman due to a groin injury that kept him out of action for long spells. But the 29-year-old remains Swansea's No1 and is a goalkeeper who continues to attract interest from other clubs, with Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers believed to be among his admirers.

*Jonathan De Guzman *He may not be Nathan Dyer's favourite person right now but there is no doubt that De Guzman has become a popular figure among fans. The problem is that he joined last summer on a season's loan from Villarreal and, given his performances in midfield for the League Cup winners, there is every chance the Spanish club will want him to return during the summer. Laudrup, if he stays, will try to make the 25-year-old's move a permanent one. Reported by guardian.co.uk 1 day ago.

Domenick Scudera: Kilt It

$
0
0
My favorite moment from this year's Oscars was watching Mark Andrews, the director of Brave, accept the award for Best Animated Feature Film. I have not seen the film, nor am I familiar with Mr. Andrews' work, but I enjoyed this moment because Mr. Andrews was wearing a kilt. This simple choice of attire made me happy for several reasons:

1. I support the idea of men having more choices when it comes to dressing. The other men who attended this year's Oscars all looked the same, all dressed in similar tuxedo uniforms. Besides Mr. Andrews, the boldest statements in men's clothing consisted of a "brave" actor who chose to wear a black shirt or who added a vest to his uniform. Men's wardrobes were boring. Women's styles, on the other hand, were complex and fascinating. Designers fawned all over the female stars, hoping one of them would choose their gown and grant them worldwide exposure. These women spent months choosing just the right look, the right fabric, the right silhouette, shoes, accessories, hairstyle, makeup and on and on and on. The biggest choice a man has to make is whether to wear a two-button or three-button jacket. Whoop-de-do.

3. I too am a kilt wearer. The Academy Awards are watched by a billion people. A man like Mr. Andrews, wearing a kilt in front of a very large audience, helps the rest of us kilties find acceptance for our choice of clothing.

Whenever I wear a kilt, I am asked the same question: "Why are you wearing that?" This is sometimes asked in a sneering tone, the subtext being, "Why on Earth would you be caught dead wearing that ridiculous garment?" If a man chooses to dress differently from the norm, people do not understand why, and they will demand a reason for his "unusual" clothing. If I were Scottish, or if I played a bagpipe, my choice of the kilt would make sense to people.

When Mr. Andrews got to the podium to accept his Oscar, he joked, "I just happened to be wearing the kilt," suggesting that his style choice was not linked to the theme of his film. Most people presumed that he wore the kilt to the Oscars because his film is about a Scottish princess. That was his "reason" for wearing the garment. Mr. Andrews was not the only man in a kilt at the Oscars. The father of host Seth MacFarlane was also wearing a kilt. MacFarlane is a Scottish name, so Seth's dad had a handy reason to wear a kilt as well.

I am of Italian heritage, so I do not have a solid "excuse" for wearing a kilt. The simple truth is that I wear a kilt because I like it. I like the way it looks and the way it feels. And, admittedly, I want to stand out from the crowd. I appreciate the attention it garners.

I wear a kilt often, for no reason other than the fact that is the garment I pulled from my closet that morning. I have many of them: tartan ones, solid colors, denim, even a leather one. I have purchased them from some of the many modern kilt companies that have sprung up in the past 10 years: Utilikilt, AmeriKilt, USA Kilts. I wear them to work, to the supermarket, to the movies, wherever I feel like it. People may look at me oddly, but I do not care.

There are drawbacks to wearing the kilt, I admit. The biggest is that complete strangers will walk up to me without so much as a "hello" and ask what I am wearing under my kilt. I will hear the same question dozens of time in a single day: "Are you wearing any underwear?" (or its many variants: "Are you going commando?" or, "Are you wearing that 'regimental' style?" or, "Is it... drafty... down there?!" or, "Are you a... 'true Scotsman'?") This is annoying, to say the least. If a woman wears a skirt or a dress, no one would walk up to her and ask these questions. If someone did, that person would get smacked in the face, at the very least. But I have learned to smile and say something clever like, "What's worn under my kilt? Nothing is 'worn' down there; everything is in perfect working order. Har, har, har!"

Answering this annoying question is a small price to pay for the pleasure and contentment I derive from wearing the kilt. Hey, if it makes me happy, why not? I do not have to look like everyone else. I choose to be different, and I do not have to justify my attire to anyone. And I applaud men like Mr. Andrews -- and Kanye West, Nathan Fillion, Ashton Kutcher, Alan Cumming and Gerard Butler -- who are opening up men's options one kilt at a time.

India clinch first Test by eight wickets

*India clinched the first cricket Test against Australia with a comfortable eight-wicket victory to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series here today with their spinners taking all the 20 wickets for only the third time in their Test history.*

The Indians took about 25 minutes in the morning to finally bring an end to the stubborn last wicket partnership between Moises Hendriques (81 not out) and Nathan Lyon (11) as Australia folded up for 241 in their second innings, leaving the hosts a small victory target of 50.

The hosts lost both their openers Murali Vijay (6) and Virender Sehwag (19) before overhauling the target with more than two full sessions to spare.

Cheteshwar Pujara brought about the winning run off Nathan Lyon to trigger off scenes of celebrations in the galleries and the Indian dressing room as the players congratulated and hugged each other.

It was a commendable show by the Indians, who have been under pressure of late following a series of indifferent performances in recent times, as they dominated the game right through at the M A Chidambaram stadium where the conditions suited the home team.

While captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni expectedly got the man-of-the-match award for his game-changing knock of 224, off spinner Ravichandran Ashwin scalped 12 wickets in the match to also play a stellar role.

The margin of victory could have been bigger had the Indians managed to get rid of the last wicket pair yesterday itself and had they not lost both their openers despite chasing a small total.

The two teams will now travel to Hyderabad for the second Test be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium from March 2 to 6. Reported by Deccan Herald 17 hours ago.

Board of Education Votes to Turn Nathan Hale School Over to Town Patch Manchester, CT --

Saying they could not afford the roughly $154,000 annually it would cost just for basic maintenance of the now closed Nathan Hale Elementary School, the Board of Education voted Monday to turn control of the building over to the town. 

"The board simply does not have that funding in its budget," said Interim Superintendent Richard Kisiel. 

Kisiel previously told the school board that the district had been paying minimal heating, utilities and custodial costs associated with the school, which amounted to about $154,000 annually. but that up until several weeks ago it still had supplies and equipment in the building. Kisiel said the district now has "no use for the building," while the town has been using the gym and the cafeteria for recreation activities.

"We're left with this issue of who pays?" Kisiel said, noting that he approached General Manager Scott Shanley with the idea of the town paying the costs associated with the building to the school board while the board maintained control of it, but Kisiel said that Shanley indicated that he did not believe the Manchester Board of Directors would accept the idea. 

"We should simply return the building back to the town so that it can maintain the building," Kisiel said. 

The vote was unanimous, with many members of the school board stating they believed the move was in the best interests of the town's public education system. 

"I think this board is in the business of operating schools, and Nathan Hale is no longer a school," said Sarah Walton, a Democratic member of the school board. "I don't think it's passing the buck." 

The school board voted in August of 2012 to formally close the Spruce Street elementary school, since it did not have the millions estimated to repair and maintain the building's aging systems. 

There have been preliminary discussions in town about the possibility of establishing a charter school, with Nathan Hale being suggested as a possible location. In order for that to materialize, the town would have to cede control of the building back to the Board of Education. 

The building will be formally turned over to the town on March 1, 2013.  Reported by Patch 16 hours ago.

Young Derby County striker Mason Bennett will get more first-team chances, says manager Nigel Clough

Young Derby County striker Mason Bennett will get more first-team chances, says manager Nigel Clough This is Derbyshire --

TEENAGE striker Mason Bennett is in the frame to play more of a role in Derby County's final 12 matches of the season.

First, Bennett will look to help the Rams under-18s reach the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup when they take on Manchester City at Pride Park Stadium tonight (7pm).

But 20 minutes as a substitute in Saturday's defeat at Watford in the Championship pressed his claim for first-team action.

Nigel Clough was impressed by the impact the 16-year-old made as Derby pushed Watford back in the closing stages at Vicarage Road.

"Mason was about ready for a game and he did well," said the manager.

"He has got a big game for the youth team tonight and that should be his priority for now but it was nice to get him involved on Saturday.

"We have had him on the bench for first-team games but not had the opportunity to get him on the pitch.

"He will get a chance between now and the end of the season."

Bennett became the club's youngest-ever player when he made his debut at Middlesbrough last season and the England Youth international played a total of seven games in 2012-13.

His chances this season have been limited.

With Jamie Ward, Conor Sammon, Theo Robinson and Nathan Tyson ahead of him at times in the striker department, Bennett has been restricted to five appearances as a substitute.

Tyson has joined Millwall on loan until the end of the season and Robinson is on loan at Huddersfield Town, although Chris Martin has been brought in from Norwich City for a month.

"Mason has been behind Theo and Nathan this season," said Clough.

"But we have given the young players a chance this season and he is right in the frame." Reported by This is 15 hours ago.
