However, Benson said the court had recently informed Brandt that the lawsuit had not been filed with the correct forms. Brandt was working on getting the correct forms together to resubmit the lawsuit prior to this most recent arrest, Benson said. |

Megan Townsend participates in her first day at the Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute. |
Megan Townsend is headed to the far reaches of the globe to help others as a fellow with the Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs. |
The Saline High School graduate and current Wellesley College junior was one of 40 women at the highly regarded Boston women’s college named an Albright Fellow in the institute’s inaugural year. |
Townsend received word of the honor while working for a global public health program in Costa Rica. The aspiring physician, who hopes to someday work in public health for those in need in developing countries, said she is honored to have the opportunity. |
Over the next three weeks, Townsend will hear lectures from other women she strongly admires, including Albright, a Wellesley alumnus, former secretary of state and former representative to the United Nations. She is also looking forward to hearing Ophelia Dahl, director of Partners in Health, a Boston-based organizati... |
Megan Townsend in Costa Rica last fall. |
“The people who are coming and teaching at it are amazing,” Townsend said. “I’m very excited to learn from them. |
The first two weeks of the program will have Townsend in a group with several other students researching and developing suggestions for one of the United Nations' Millennium Goals. |
The goals are a worldwide effort coordinated by the U.N. aimed at reducing poverty, and Townsend’s group will be addressing goal No. 7, achieving environmental sustainability, which ties into her own goal of working in public health. |
The third week entails presentations of the groups' findings and suggestions to Albright and other experts in the area. |
This summer the Albright Institute will fund a six-week internship abroad in which Townsend will apply her skills. She applied to Cape Verde, India and Central America for the internship. |
Next fall she will make another presentation to the Albright Institute on her experiences abroad. |

The best penny stock of March 2017 was Ocera Therapeutics Inc. with a 98.5% return. That crushed broader indexes like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500, which gained 0.2% and lost 0.2% last month, respectively. |
But remember, this list simply tracks the top stocks trading under $5 a share on the SEC-regulated Nasdaq exchange. Although these penny stocks are safer than the unregulated ones trading on the pink sheets, you shouldn't buy them without first doing extensive research. This can include examining the company's CEO comp... |
Conducting this research can be an arduous task, especially if you're unfamiliar with company documents. A 10-K filing can be hundreds of pages long and contain mundane language that only the company's accountants understand. |
It boasts more than 10,000 customers across several booming markets like healthcare and banking. |
It has a dominant position in the high-growth financial cybersecurity sector. |
Not to mention analysts expect it to soar as much as 53.8% over the next 12 months. |

District officials anticipate there will be 185 parking spots when the lot is complete and paved with concrete. The lot is planned to be bordered by U.S. 40, Sherbourne Avenue, Fitch Street and Main Street. |
Steyer said there is a potential for the lot to connect to existing trails as well. |
The district anticipates plans for the park-and-ride to be complete by the end of the year, with construction beginning in the spring of next year. |
The project should take six to eight months to build, Steyer said. |
Currently there is a small shelter. There will be a larger structure when the project is complete, Steyer said. |
Steyer said the lot is probably the highest-used lot in the transit district’s express system. |
NASA tweeted out a Sept. 2017 photo of Michigan's Upper Peninsula on Tuesday. |
Who doesn't love a sunrise? Well, if you aren't a morning person, you probably haven't seen one. |
Luckily, NASA astronauts understand the struggle and have done the work for us here in Michigan by capturing the orange and yellow morning light scattered across Lake Superior from space. |
On Tuesday, NASA's Twitter account tweeted out a photo from last September of Michigan's Upper Peninsula right at sunrise — the light hitting the shoreline and various smaller, inland lakes perfectly, just the way you'd imagine ... if you were capable of waking up early and landing a job as an astronaut. |
The tweet was liked over 4,000 times, signaling that there are other Michiganders who also appreciate a sunrise from the comforts of their home, and phones. |
An article from Earth Observatory noted that the color of this sunrise could have been due to the flurry of wildfires on the West Coast. |
In January 2017, another astronaut took a liking to the city lights of Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland and tweeted out a photo showing each city just before sunrise, the sparkle of streetlights illuminating the sky. |

Lawmakers in Washington continue to debate the passage of new laws relating to guns -- including preventing people on terrorist watch lists from buying guns, expanding background checks and banning the sale of assault weapons. As is always the case when representatives ponder legislation, it's a good time to review aga... |
There are two often-complex strains of attitudes toward guns in this country. One way to look at this is to talk about the public's views on what can or should be done collectively about guns, and then what can or should be done individually about guns. |
At the collective level, we know that Americans are in favor of the government instituting new checks on the ability to buy guns, which theoretically would prevent those who have some type of official negative record on file from buying them. Americans have mixed feelings as to how effective they think these background... |
I reviewed much of this literature here, after the San Bernardino shooting. Almost any proposal we put in front of the American people relating to background checks gets overwhelming support. A majority of Americans favor stricter laws on gun sales in general. Americans who are dissatisfied with gun laws favor more res... |
In this sense, Americans are saying to their representatives in Washington: "Yes, go ahead and pass new laws instituting restrictions and background checks on gun purchases, which we strongly favor." |
At the same time, Americans as a whole continue to believe that collective entities such as the government and the police are not able to do enough (presumably regardless of any new laws that are passed). Americans believe that it is appropriate and effective for individual citizens to own and be ready to use guns pers... |
Keep in mind that 41% of Americans tell us there is a gun in their home, and previous research shows that the dominant reason people say they own guns is for personal protection. Analyses of available data also show that gun sales spike after mass shootings and have apparently done so again since Orlando, underscoring ... |
I mentioned above that Americans believe restrictions on the sale of assault weapons would be effective in preventing future mass shootings. In the same survey, conducted just last week, almost the exact same percentage of Americans (64%) say that loosening state laws to allow more citizens to carry concealed weapons w... |
Previous research shows that by 56% to 41%, Americans believe the U.S. would be safer rather than less safe if more Americans carried concealed weapons after passing background checks and training courses. Over six in 10 say that having a gun in the home makes it safer rather than less safe. |
The debate can ensue about the actual long-term impact of a significantly more "armed" America. But regardless of what experts might say, the average American believes that the long-term impact would be positive. Lawmakers and others who disagree that increased ownership of guns for private protection would improve saf... |
Lawmakers and others who weigh in on the contentious gun issue need to recognize these two strains of thought held by Americans across the country. Lawmakers are the collective embodiment of the people they represent, and in theory should focus on making laws that they think reflect what their constituents want them to... |
All parts of an azalea are poisonous. |
Gardeners prize azaleas (Rhododendron spp.) for their hardy nature and prolific number of blooms. The more than 250 species include evergreen and deciduous shrubs as well as colors that range from pale pastels to vibrant jewel tones. Thriving in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 9, these sp... |
Azaleas contain substances called grayantoxins, which are present in all parts of the plant. In fact, the toxins are even present in honey found in azalea flowers, according to the Azalea Society of America. Grayantoxin blocks normal function of the muscles in people and animals, including the heart, and can impair ner... |
The toxins are dangerous to cats, dogs and horses, although these animals rarely tend to nibble on the plants. Even a small nibble on the leaves, wood or flowers, however, can cause symptoms to occur. On the other hand, sheep and goats graze readily on azaleas, so they are most at risk to be poisoned. |
Animals affected by azalea poisoning may vomit, experience diarrhea and appear weak. They may salivate excessively, lose their appetite, have difficulty walking and appear lethargic. In the most severe cases, the animal may lapse into a coma and eventually die. The symptoms usually persist for about two days. After tha... |
Children who consume part of the plant will likely first complain of a burning sensation in the mouth, followed by excess saliva. Other symptoms are common to what animals experience. People who have consumed honey made from azaleas have suffered from vomiting, irregular heart rhythms, convulsions and mild paralysis. |
If you have azaleas in your landscape, protect them from young children and grazing animals by planting them out of reach or within the boundaries of a fence. Smaller cultivars can be grown in containers, which can be moved out of reach of young children and pets if necessary. |
If you suspect that your child has ingested part of the azalea, call poison control immediately, and be prepared to rush your child to the doctor for treatment if necessary. According to the Nova Scotia Museum, some of the plant's toxins are broken down into harmless compounds in the digestive tracts of humans, so it's... |
If you suspect your that one of your pets has consumed a portion of the plant, call your veterinarian immediately. He will likely tell you to rush your pet in for treatment. If so, bring a portion of the plant so that the doctor can positively identify the plant and treat your pet accordingly. |

Volvo Trucks is now presenting a new transport solution consisting of autonomous electric commercial vehicles that can contribute to more efficient, safer and cleaner transportation, the OEM said in a statement released today. |
“The long-term goal is to offer companies that need continuous transport services between fixed hubs a complement to today’s offerings,” spokesmen said. |
“Growing world population and increasing urbanization are leading to significant challenges to solve environmental issues such as congestion, pollution and noise. Rising consumption, the fast growth of e-commerce and the widespread shortage of drivers put higher demands on efficient transport solutions. |
“The full potential of the transport industry is yet to be seen. Everything suggests that the global need for transportation will continue to significantly increase in the coming decade. If we are to meet this demand in a sustainable and efficient way, we must find new solutions. |
In order to secure a smoothly functioning goods flow system we also need to exploit existing infrastructure better than currently. The transport system we are developing can be an important complement to today’s solutions and can help meet many of the challenges faced by society, transport companies and transport buyer... |
Volvo Trucks’ future transport solution is intended to be used for regular and repetitive tasks characterized by relatively short distances, large volumes of goods and high delivery precision, spokesmen said. Transports between logistic hubs are typical examples. |
“Our system can be seen as an extension of the advanced logistics solutions that many industries already apply today. Since we use autonomous vehicles with no exhaust emissions and low noise, their operation can take place at any time of day or night. The solution utilizes existing road infrastructure and load carriers... |
The operation is handled by autonomous electric vehicles linked to a cloud service and a transport control center. The vehicles are equipped with sophisticated systems for autonomous driving. They are designed to locate their current position to within centimeters, monitor in detail and analyze what is happening with o... |
