Katlyn Long's Suspicious Death
By Tim Stelloh on June 10, 2009
The last few months of Katlyn Long's abbreviated life unfolded much like anyone transitioning between relationships: Unhappy with her long-term, 31-year-old boyfriend, Long broke things off. The 22-year-old Fort Bragg girl had met someone else—someone who, friends say, seemed to make her happy.
Katlyn Long
She left California with her new boyfriend early last year, but work obligations brought her back home for what was to be a brief visit. That fateful trip back would be her last: In the early morning of May 29, after spending the night with her ex-boyfriend, she was hauled to Mendocino Coast Hospital in an ambulance without a pulse—the victim of a methadone overdose.
Yet it wasn't until last week that police revealed her cause of death. No charges have been filed.
The way detectives explain it, the one eyewitness in the case has exercised his right to remain silent since Long's death. That eyewitness, of course, is Long's ex, Garett Matson, son of ex-Fort Bragg planning commissioner and businessman Jerry Matson. Police say that over the course of that year they were negotiating with Matson's attorney, Richard Petersen, in an attempt to get a statement. To maintain the apparently delicate balance of those negotiations, investigators commenced the media chess game: They withheld the results of a toxicology report completed last July that examined Long's blood and found that she had overdosed. They kept a lid on all but the most public details of the girl's death--namely, that she had died "suspiciously." And they told the media the eyewitness was Long's ex-boyfriend--but they declined to name the ex.
Petersen, of course, tells it differently. He says he's offered to answer written questions from the police--but he wouldn't subject Matson to a prosecutorial-style inquiry because he's "suffering terrible emotional problems."
"We can't open him up because he feels very threatened and weak right now," Petersen said, summarizing what he says are a doctor's orders. "What people say about him breaks his heart." In the unlikely event detectives share the forensic evidence they've collected on Matson, Petersen said he'd change his tune.
"I'd turn my client over," he said.
In the meantime, Petersen sent a seven page statement to the DA's office last month--a statement he described as a "timed list" of the days leading up to Long's death. (Neither he nor the Sheriff's office would share specifics of the statement.) And last week, detectives released an outline of what happened, along with the results of the toxicology report.
Yet it's still unclear how--or why--that lethal dose of methadone ended up in Long's blood.
The synthetic opiate, long thought of as a drug for junkies kicking their heroin habit, has taken on a different role in recent years as a cheap, non-narcotic prescription pain killer. As methadone prescriptions have spiked, so has the number of methadone overdoses: The drug can be lethal when combined, say, with alcohol, or when taken in too great a quantity, as its effects are far shorter than the time it stays in the body.
Sheriff's Lt. Rusty Noe said Long didn't have a prescription for methadone, nor did detectives find any evidence that she was using it as a pain killer. Friends say she was the last person they would expect to use such drugs recreationally. "She was like apple pie," said Jeanne Huckins, who shared Long's affinity for horses and rode with her often. "One time she came to the stable and she was babbling on and on and on, and I said, 'Katlyn, what are you on?' and she said 'Red Bull.' … She was very sensitive to that kind of stuff."
Matson, on the other hand, has a history of prior drug charges. A several year old letter from neighbors in Matson's court file even described his home as a well known crank house that police visited often: "For two years Matson has terrorized the neighborhood with shootings, loud fights and low-life people coming and going at all hours, though mostly in the middle of the night," the letter said. It went on to describe how he "unleashed" a vicious dog on a neighbor, sending the senior citizen to the hospital twice.
Those cases--which include discharging a firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance--were dismissed when Matson agreed to drug court. (Petersen said a person's past is only "circumstantial evidence of what the future holds.")
Huckins described the couple's relationship as a troubled one—a relationship where Long felt suffocated by her ex and which she ended shortly before she died. She described how, in the months before her overdose, Long had started seeing a new boyfriend--a man named William Housley--who Huckins said had brightened Long's mood considerably. They traveled together to Washington State to visit Housley's parents. "She was having a wonderful time," she said. "I noticed a real shift when she started hanging out with William. She was a happy person—instead of a person who was always crying and blaming herself, who would cut herself."
Long returned to Fort Bragg last May, Huckins said, because she worked at the stable where she kept her horses and the owners were leaving town. While home, Matson tried to rekindle their relationship. But Long wasn't interested. The afternoon before she died the two had an argument at Long's parents house--an argument caused by Matson thinking the two were close to reuniting, Petersen said. Matson allegedly bashed in her car and left, but returned later that afternoon.
By 5 am the next morning she was dead.
Sheriff's deputies, who had been summoned with the ambulance, noticed "suspicious" marks on her neck, so detectives were dispatched to investigate. The marks turned out to be unrelated to the cause of her death, and the rest is history.
Some of Long's friends and supporters theorize that she was murdered. Petersen disagrees. "If she overdosed, he didn't do it. It was either accidental, or intentional on her part," he said. "I don't know of any one who would have wanted to kill her--including Garett. But nobody wants to believe she committed suicide either."
For now, no suspects have been named and the DA kicked the case back to the sheriff's office, which says it's an open investigation--though District Attorney Meredith Lintott said her investigators are still involved, as they are with most big murder cases. If the case does go to court, Lintott said, there's no statute of limitations on murder, nor with manslaughter in most situations. It can be a different story with other, less serious charges, however.
"It's very tricky. People go to court to litigate statute of limitations," she said. "The whole case can be thrown out."
So far, Long's family has been mum on the matter--Katlyn's mother, Linda Long, said in an e-mail that she didn't want to compromise the case--as are several friends.
But that hasn't stopped an online petition, justiceforkatlyn.org, from being circulated; as of publication, the petition has nearly met its 1,000 signature goal. Once completed, the site says, it will be sent to the DA's office because "…we want to show them that there are lots of citizens that will not rest until justice is served, and who will be watching this case." Nor has it stopped thousands of posts from appearing on a forum attached to the Ukiah Daily Journal's website. Unlike most message boards associated with controversial stories--where participants seem to revel in vulgar anonymity--this one is relatively benign: family and friends post poems; they give updates on the case; they talk about their freshly inked Katlyn tattoos.
Still, the site—like most message boards—has the aire of judge, jury and executioner. And it ain't a pretty verdict for Garett Matson.

This sounds to me as if it was a forced suicide. Meaning he forced her to take the pills and if she didn't he would harm her family and or her new boyfriend. She probably didn't think she would die. She probably hoped that help would come in time. This has to be one of the saddest stories of abuse that I have ever read. Mental and emotional abuse can often be worse than physical. But its all bad..so very bad. In the end a young beautiful and intelligent lady loses her life.
Lauren Housley May 7, 2010
It seems to me that forced suicide is homocide. Two years have gone by and still not one question answered by Garett Matson. I have written Lintott several times asking why the person who witnessed Katlyns last hours and also took and sent a picture of her 'sleeping', why does this person get a free pass? If I were locked in a room with someone who died in a suspicious manner I would expect to be questioned by law enforcement.
JBA March 10, 2012
Boy this is the first time for me reading an article on what happened. When i first heard the news i assumed she was strangled or something. i'm really starting to think much differently about this case now. It seems to me that this young woman had more problems than everybody thought (or cares to admit). Im starting to think this ex-boyfriend's only involvement in her death was that he possibly got her on drugs. Like you say, "two years have gone by" and you'd think authorities would have SOME proof of that, and they don't. What is the deal with his story? Has he told anybody how this happened? I mean i'm sure he DOES expect to be "questioned by law enforcement" and HAS been.
Bruce Anderson March 11, 2012
Our new DA, David Eyster, assured a Fort Bragg audience during the run up to the election that he would re-visit the case after Ms. Lintott had said that she thought there wasn't a case. There certainly is a case, and it's disgraceful that Matson wasn't charged.
Lauren Housley March 14, 2012
There is more to this story than what has been published in the paper. Katlyn was not a methadone user, Matson was. Matson has never been questioned by law enforcement as is his right but it sure would be helpful to know what happened that night. My feeling is that if he truly cared about Katlyn and her family he would tell them what happened. We all want the truth to come out, except perhaps Garett Matson.

My girlfriend left me. And cheated on me and is with garrett matson. her name is katelyn Ann Katz
Should I be worried
S June 19, 2020
Is Katelyn Opatz (correct name) still with him? I am one of her old friends.
Katherine Allegre September 15, 2010
He either forced her or he could have just tricked her. He could have told her it was something other than what it was. Just a thought could the drug have been put into a drink or something? It seems he was hell bent on not letting her leave him to be with someone else. I agree a forced suicide is certainly a murder, outright, without a doubt… What goes around, comes around. And I have found in my life that this is very true, people eventually, but always get what they desire. One day the truth will be known.

Matson is being protected and it is not correct or fair. Vote out Lintott and lets get someone in who will take care of this correctly
Thank you Meg. The first few months after Katie's death were beyond horrible but I just knew that Garett would face justice and pay the price. Now I just cry myself to sleep and can't understand why there is no outrage to what has happened in our small town. I used to write to Lintott asking why Garett Matson was not, has not been questioned and never got any response. Today is Mother's day and there is no joy, Linda (Katlyn's mother) and I should be celebrating our children's love for each other. Katlyn and I spoke about her and William having children, she had picked out names and wanted to have a bunch of rowdy little boys or just one girl. I laughed and told her that ya get what ya get and that we would have plenty of time to talk about that stuff. That was the last time I talked to her, she died two days later. Please if anyone can help find justice for Katlyn's family we really need help.
Bruce Anderson September 16, 2010
For a DA who said she'd be particularly zealous in pursuing crimes against women and children, Lintott has been a huge disappointment. We need a DA who takes the most heinous crimes PERSONALLY, and the murder of Katlyn Long by this Matson creep was a heinous crime. There was more than enough to try him, but when we have a DA who evaluates prosecutions on the basis of whether or not she has a slam dunk win, very bad people will continue to elude justice. There's no statute of limitations on murder. Don't vote for Eyster unless he PROMISES to go after Matson.
Teaful Heuden January 20, 2011
Know facts, not questions. Do Not Ever Take A Side of Any Story That You Are Not Ready To Die For!!!!!! G may have flaws, WE ALL DO!!!!! Never pin a Murder on anyone til' one – hundred % ( 100% ). If a man hasn't found something to die for in life, He is'nt fit to live………………………………..
There is more evidence then you know about.But we her family know.Text photos
Kathy Long January 24, 2011
Let the facts come out! Protect the innocent! Justice for Katlyn!
Barbara Long September 14, 2011
Why don't you turn in his journal then. We all know one of you has it and it is basically a confession. Let your conciseness be your quide.
debrakeipp November 29, 2014
The question of forced suicide being "homicide"? The issue'll get even cloudier if you go back to Mendocino County Assistant D.A. Stoen… who still thinks about 1000 deaths in Guyana at Jonestown were all suicides.
There is no justice in this county – not if you have enuf money to hire a Peterson – or are a doctor in Ukiah… as in Susan Keegan homicide.
Carrie Miller May 29, 2015
Heartbreaking story, just came across this on a mutual friends fb, mendo is my home and as I am the same age as katlyn I am just outraged that this beautiful promising young woman was so brutally snubbed out by this creep! Society was robbed by the loss of this bright star, and for that, the county should seek justice! In a big city the guy would've been locked away the next day, but small town corruption runs deep and unfortunately its the innocent and good honest mendo coast citizens that suffer! God be with all that knew and loved this sweet girl, and let His wrath rain down on Matson!
Barbara long May 28, 2016
It is time to reopen this case. Her father my brother passed in December. He died with a broken heart. It is time to go viral. And the anniversary of her death is here. Please do another story.
JustanObservation April 29, 2017
The article mentions another victim of an unsolved, made to appear suicide, death. Jeanne Huckins made open allegations against the ex boyfriend. Any connection?
Ann-katherine November 26, 2019
No one is safe here because of the "Small-Town" County Corruption. Anyone who's family works for the County believes themselves to be "Immune". Where there's corruption theres a loss of "Security"
The Tyrant usurps lawful governments., establishes a "Police-State" Imprisioning and murdering Political-Rivals.And committs extreme Injustice of radically evil deeds and heinous crimes.
Sneaky perfidious crimes of lethal violence, Cruelty as extraordinary Villiany to "Secure-Power" The Tyrants misdeeds are more likely offenses by and thru the State, not against the State. At times where States committ these crimes, usually in lawless Regions…….
(People who work for the County) claim "immunity" as legal-expediency to impede interference in their Persecutions & Depradations. Claiming Immunity as a "Legal-Expediency" to continue Stealing like Pirates in "Organized-groups"
Tyrants place themselves above the Law. And Tyranny is a Precondition of Genocide.
A Territory that turns from a Sanctuary into a trap. While victims cannot flee poses deadly risk making a uniquely heinous crime. Instead of protecting people "they" persecute & annihilate people. Sowing isolation, fear & mutual mistrust and Genocide and Crimes against Humanity, turning Homelands into "Killing-Fields." State Pathological Politics

Home Latest Alleged Forgery, Embezzlement: Court Grants Businessman, Paul Ozigbu, N20m Bail
Alleged Forgery, Embezzlement: Court Grants Businessman, Paul Ozigbu, N20m Bail
By Alex Enumah
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, admitted a businessman, Paul Ozigbu, to bail in the sum of N20 million.
Abang admitted the defendant to bail with a surety in like sum, who must be resident in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and also owns a landed property in the FCT, while ruling in his bail application.
The court had on November 25, ordered the remand of Ozigbu at the Kuje Correctional Center following his arraignment on alleged forgery, criminal conspiracy and illegal conversion of properties of late Hillary Ozigbu and other family members.
The police after concluding its investigations of the alleged fraud, filed a12-count charge against Ozigbu.
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR/239/2020, he was specifically accused of forging Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) documents and conversion of family properties into personal use, amongst others.
Ozigbu was alleged with others at large, at different times, to have obtained various sums of money totally N10.40 billion with fraudulent documents.
After he pleaded not guilty to all the charges, the prosecution counsel, J. Nwadike, prayed the court to fix a date for commencement of trial and to also remand the defendant in prison custody.
But the counsel to the defendant, Hope Ejiofor, informed the court of a bail application for the defendant dated November 23, 2020.
However, in a short ruling, the trial judge, declined to take the application on the grounds that it was filed before the arraignment of the defendant.
The judge said the court has jurisdiction only to entertain bail application that is filed after the arraignment of a defendant.
He therefore ordered that the defendant be remanded at the Correctional Center until February 3, 2021, when the trial will commence or pending when a new bail application is filed.
Following the leading of the court, Ozigbu's lawyer brought a fresh application for his bail dated November 27, arguing that the alleged offences the defendant was accused of are bailable.
In his ruling, the court stated that bail is at the discretion of the court and further agreed that the alleged offences are bailable.
He subsequently granted bail to the defendant in the sum of N20 million and a surety in like sum.
Other conditions attached to the bail include an order for the defendant to submit his international passport with the registrar of the court or a letter from the Immigration office in the event that he does not have an international passport.
The surety, on his part, must show evidence of tax payment in the last three years and also present to the court evidence of means of livelihood to guarantee the bail bond in the event that the defendant jump bail.
In addition, the registrar of the court must verify the authenticity of the document of the landed property submitted by the surety.
The defendant was accused in the 12-count charge of conniving with others at large to forge a CAC document and forging the signature of late Ozigbu and used same to effect the change of directors of the company, known as Ozigbu Engineering Company Limited.
He was also alleged to have illegally converted the property and assets of late Ozigbu within Nigeria and overseas to himself.
In one of the counts, he was said to have converted 67 hectares of land in Imo State and another 109 hectares of land at Eleme, Rivers State to himself, thereby denying others their legitimate shares of their father's property.
Ozigbu was also accused of using a forged Power of Attorney to obtain the sums of N40 million and to have, in 2014, used the forged document to obtain a property worth N5 billion said to belong to Ozigbu Engineering Limited.
In another count, he was accused of obtaining a heavy duty equipment worth N5 billion belonging to the late father's company.
The matter has been adjourned till February 3, 2021 for trial.

In 2014, my father, brother and I made a trip to Hainan Island to celebrate my grandfather's 80th birthday. Although he was born and raised in Shanghai, my father's family are Hainanese. My brother and I are both born-and-bred Singaporeans.
I remember that visit as a blur of introductions, a long stream of kind, beaming people related to me in some way or other. Distant aunties and uncles welcomed our visit to the ancestral village with much anticipation.
Hainan Island's Sanya Bay. File Photo: Llee_wu, via Flickr.
My Hainanese relations saw the trip as a homecoming, a return to our roots. My father, swept up in the excitement, began talking about buying property on the island.
"Wouldn't it be nice for you to have somewhere to come home to one day?" he asked.
"But Singapore is my home," I said. Much as I enjoyed the opportunity to visit Hainan, all the talk about "returning" and "coming home" left me feeling alienated. As we landed back in Singapore's Changi Airport, I felt relief.
Chinese Singaporeans make up 76.1 percent of the population in Singapore. But English is the language of instruction and business here. Families who can afford it are more likely to send their children abroad to study in Western countries than to China or Taiwan. Chinese Singaporeans born and raised in Singapore for generations tend not to orient ourselves towards China.
More and more, we tend to, as one would say in Singapore, "jiak kentang"—a term referring to a Westernised person: a mix of the Hokkien word "jiak", which means "to eat", and the Malay word "kentang", which means "potato", the term comes from the stereotype of white people eating potatoes instead of rice.
Why would anyone start a film set in Singapore with a quote about China? What does that sleeping giant have to do with us in the context of this film? It plays straight into a long-standing Singaporean bugbear: that many foreigners believe Singapore is a part of China, or actually somewhere in mainland China.
In Crazy Rich Asians, Rachel Chu (played by Constance Wu), a Chinese American economics professor, accompanies her Chinese Singaporean boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Golding) back to his hometown for a wedding. Before her trip, her mother, a first-generation immigrant to the U.S., reminds her that while she might look Chinese and speak Mandarin, she's "different from them" in heart and mind.
To make matters worse, Rachel discovers upon arrival that Nick is the scion of Singapore's most prominent "old money" family, and faces off with Nick's traditional and ever-so-proper mother, Eleanor Young (Michelle Yeoh).
The film progresses with liberal use of Mandarin songs in the soundtrack, and references to Chinese traditions like a familial dumpling-making session. With the existence of Malay and Indian Singaporeans erased or relegated to service positions—including one very uncomfortable scene in which Rachel and her best friend Peik Lin (Awkwafina with an inexplicable blaccent) are frightened by silent Sikh guards—Crazy Rich Asians transforms Singapore from an island of diverse cultures into a Chinese state.
By the time Crazy Rich Asians gets to that pivotal mahjong scene—in a public mahjong parlour which, in the real Singapore, would be considered a public nuisance—it's pretty clear that there's some heavy conflation of "Asia", "Singapore" and "Chinese" going on.
Singapore isn't a Chinese country, but that doesn't matter in this movie, because that's not what the film's producers need for Rachel's Asian American journey to Asia. Through the eyes of Crazy Rich Asians, Singapore isn't so much a multiracial Southeast Asian city-state as a modern update of 1930s Shanghai, advertised as "the Paris of the East, the New York of the West".
This isn't to say that Singaporeans don't listen to Mandarin songs, eat dumplings or play mahjong. But the Chineseness on display doesn't ring true, with details that Americans will likely not pick up on, but which strike a false note in the Singaporean context.
The Young family, for example, sit around and make jiaozi, a dumpling from northern China that's unlikely to be part of the traditions of a long-established Chinese Singaporean family, since most of the Chinese who came to Singapore came from the southeastern coast.
It's also odd that Nick Young's grandmother, the elderly matriarch of the family, speaks perfect Mandarin, while the women one generation below her speak Cantonese—in real life, it's far more likely to be the other way around, especially given the Singapore government's efforts to restrict the use of dialects and promote Mandarin.
The portrayal of Chineseness in the film is jarringly essentialist, particularly when it presents the conflict between Rachel and Eleanor as a dichotomy between an "American" practice of pursuing individual happiness and the "Asian" value of family before self (rather than, you know, some good ol' fashioned snobbery and elitism).
Given my experience in Hainan, I could empathise somewhat with Rachel's sense of displacement. But it was also odd to see her worry about not being Asian enough in Singapore, a country often referred to as "Asia Lite".
I watched her fret about being seen as a "yellow on the outside, white on the inside" banana with bemusement; the reality is that Chinese Singaporeans are pretty Westernised ourselves, with a growing number struggling with Mandarin as the number of English-speaking households increase.
The Singapore that exists in Crazy Rich Asians looks like a turbo-charged, ultra-rich version of a "homeland" that might live in the Chinese American imagination, an amalgamation of nostalgia and projection. It not only focuses on a narrow set of Asian American experiences (which is far more diverse than just Chinese concerns), but also assumes a binary between the immigrant experience of the Chinese American, and the "native" experience of the Chinese in Asia.
This, unfortunately, overlooks the reality that Chineseness contains multitudes. The details might differ, but Chinese Singaporeanness, like Chinese Americanness, has also been built on a range of immigrant experiences.
This diversity has come with pitfalls: Singaporeans, including (or even especially) Chinese Singaporeans, have displayed xenophobic attitudes toward more recent arrivals from mainland China.
On her trip, Rachel Chu learns the difference between the Asian American and Asian experience. But there isn't an "Asian experience", per se. It's not as simple as East versus West, as the symbolism of the film's mahjong game suggests. Even within tiny Singapore, we see diverging Chinese experiences every day. If anything, it's the Chinese Communist Party in the People's Republic of China that seeks to obscure these differences in their efforts to engender feelings of sympathy or even loyalty to the party through the idea of racial unity.
I agreed. Despite my own Chinese heritage, the Chineseness of Crazy Rich Asians was not one that I recognised within my Singaporean experience.

Delaney Wagner (Lewisburg, Pa. / Lewisburg Area) sparked her team in the bottom of the first with a double and scored with smart base running on a dropped third strike.
Feaser and Brooklyn Wagner (Newville, Pa. / Big Spring) each drove in a pair in the second frame. The Nittany Lions scored two more runs within the inning as Meagan Smith (Littlestown, Pa. / Littlestown) and Delaney Wagner (Lewisburg, Pa. / Lewisburg Area) each recorded RBIs.
Katie McCauslin (Biglerville, Pa. / Biglerville) gave up the lone unearned run in the third inning as she held PSUGA to five hits, while striking out a pair. The freshman improved to 3-9 on the season with her two victories on Saturday.
Both teams scored a run within the first inning. Delaney Wagner (Lewisburg, Pa. / Lewisburg Area) drove in Brooklyn Wagner (Newville, Pa. / Big Spring) on a sacrifice fly.
PSUGA scored three more runs in the top of the third stanza before Mont Alto responded again this time with a pair of runs. Krista Feaser (Shippensburg, Pa. / Faith Tabernacle) hit a RBI single and scored when Helayna Thomas (Biglerville, Pa. / Biglerville) drove her in on a sacrifice fly out.
Feaser made it 5-4 scoring in the bottom of the fifth on a passed ball. Thomas played hero for Mont Alto as she slapped her game-winning double down the left field line.
The Penn State Mont Alto softball team returns to action on Sunday, April 7 when they conclude their season series with Greater Allegheny. The doubleheader is slated to begin at 11 a.m.

This 50 inch value offering from Sony falls near the bottom of it's lineup totem pole for 2013 and thus strives to offer a great price even though the screen sizes are getting larger. The KDL-50R450A has lots to offer the value shopper however as Sony makes reliable TVs with their superior video chip sets (even if the other parts are made by other manufacturers). Sony has Direct LED specification on this LCD HDTV, which means that rather than CCFL fluorescent backlighting you get LED backlights (full array). This is not to be confused with the more robust and bright edge-lighting LEDs that Sony uses in their higher end models. The LED backlights adds some depth to the TV.
The 120Hz panel is a needed upgrade from the 40 inch version of the R450A. The 50 inch screen size panel though you will obviously get some judder and stutter during fast motion images or slow panning side to side. The Motionflow XR 120 feature can be enabled to help with some of those problems when it comes to live sports programming and video games. Colors are a bit washed out from side angles on the KDL-50R450A but it's still passably good. The highlight is the crispness of images when viewing HD signals. Sony recognized the need to step up to 1080p in the 50 inch size model (from 720p in the 32).
The KDL50R450A has an anti glare flat coat to the screen that actually ends up reflecting light rather than keeping it from irritating the picture. It results in some glare from in-room lighting. It's not a favorite feature, but it is cheaper to produce and helps keep the cost down. Black levels are still decent on this TV, you just dont get the best depth production for your viewing. Color is accurate but not close to the top Sony models, which have the best color and crispness in the market.
There are not many extras on the KDL-50R450A. There is no 3D, or Smart TV features. There is a USB port for easy playback, and another special feature you may want to play around with called the MHL-ready. This is for mirroring the screens on NFC compatible Smart Phone devices (sorry no Apple yet). There are only 2 HDMI inputs. The menu system is easy to understand and gives 4 preset picture mode options.
Motionflow: We recommend turning this feature off for film and normal content and leaving on for live sports action or 3D programming. The Standard or Clear settings are good when on. The feature does decrease judder and jerky camera panning somewhat and this may be especially useful for sports programming. Fluidity in the picture during fast action or camera panning is the objective of the Motionflow XR 480 feature. The 120 specification is to alert you to the fact that the backlight is helping to make the native 60Hz panel process faster (hopefully to what seems like 120Hz). Results are usually quite mixed on these features with fast action sports looking great and movies and other film based material having some unwanted complications.
Most other "extra" pictures features like the Clear Resolution Enhancer are better left off.
Since the 50R450A has full LED backlighting it is not the super thin edge lit LED. It's around 3.5 inches in depth, has a thin half inch black gloss bezel frame, and a nasty chrome strip across the front bottom which I think it both reflective and distracting. One plus though to the model is that it sits very low just and inch above table top depth so it will fit into tight spaces well.
This is a bang for the buck 50 inch model from Sony that features full HD 1080p resolution and is priced to be a big seller for the year. The appearance of the TV is nice for the price point and you get the Sony name and internal workings over other 2nd tier manufacturers in the marketplace. It's a winner in price comparison with both the Samsung UN50FH5500 and LG 50LN5400 with which it competes selling for $100 less.

Nevaeh – HeaveN spelled backwards – is a female trio that wants to "Point People to Heaven." True of what Heaven is like, we are different women coming from different backgrounds, but united to share the same message of the Cross.
Nevaeh serves primarily as a concert ministry where we share our faith in songs and testimonies of how God is working on us and using us for His Glory. We love to lead God's people in worship through various music styles of the church: Praise & Worship, Blended/Contemporary and some Southern Gospel music as well as sharing devotionals and personal testimonies.
What we've done recently...
Nevaeh has provided special music and has lead worship for many churches and retreats when called upon. We count it a great joy to serve our Lord in the Church, to minister to the believers and to share the Message of the Cross.
The Lord has also blessed us in sharing the Gospel Message outside the church at many events. We have performed at events including the Florida State Fair, Disney's Night of Joy, Georgia's Cherry Blossom Festival, the Florida Strawberry Festival, and more.
Nevaeh has also appeared on TV - Atlanta Live, Babbie's House, the Artists Music Guild Heritage Awards, ABC News Channel 12 (Jacksonville) Songs of the Season, Comcast 99 (Jacksonville) Let's Talk About It - and was part of the Global Southern Gospel Radio Gospel Cruise.
Leading in worship, Nevaeh served several years with Raceway Ministries during the Daytona 500 & Pepsi 400.
In 2016, Nevaeh was nominated for 3 Artists Music Guild Awards: Best Album (Love Enough); Best Song (Forever Reign); and Best New Artist, and in November 2016, won the Best Album Award. In 2017, Nevaeh was again honored with two more nominations for Best Group and Best Song (To Honor You). In 2018, Nevaeh was awarded the Best Group Award at the Artists Music Guild Heritage Awards, and received 4 nominations in 2019 for Best Group, Best Album, Best Song and Best Video.
Nevaeh released their fourth CD project in January 2019 entitled "More Than Anything," and just released their newest single in January 2022, "I Know You're There." Nevaeh will be in the studio this year finishing a Christmas CD.
We thank God for all the opportunities He has brought before us, and pray that we have been vessels to plant the seeds for Him. We seek His will for all we do and know that through Him all things are possible.
We believe that Jesus is the living Son of God, that He was crucified, was buried, and rose on the third day for the forgiveness of sin and the salvation of man. We believe there is only one true God, and one way to heaven, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe we receive full forgiveness for sin through the shedding of His blood on the cross.
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and that the Bible is inerrant, and is given for the redemption of man. We believe that Jesus Christ came not to condemn the world, but that through Him we might be saved.

With global Oil Prices and Airline Fuel Surcharges rising further, we require to update our SAT Surcharge accordingly.
As we have informed you in April 2017, due to changes in the surcharge mechanisms of the airline industry, we had to implement a new SAT Surcharge system. This system helps to better reflect volatile oil prices and the impact on our SAT Albatros Sea-Air product.
Airlines are now activating the fifth step of their Fuel Surcharge mechanisms, again with very short notice. Consequently, our SAT Surcharges, currently at USD 0,25/kg, are being updated to USD 0,30/kg effective ETD Origin 24th May 2018 and later.
If you have a quotation on hand from SAT, please review the surcharge level this was quoted on (in appendix of our official quote) and be kindly informed that these SAT Surcharges are also applicable for all future shipments with ETD Origin 24th May and later.


Be Johnny was selected as A/V Technical Director for the exhibition at The Menil Collection entitled "Upside Down Arctic Realities". Working with Paris-based composer Philippe Le Goff, exhibition designers Doug Wheeler and New York's Drawn by MKC, we enhanced the show with a 20 channel surround audio installation featuring years of field recording research from the arctic.
An iMac powered the entire installation with custom written software in Max/MSP and was completely automated.


I'm reaching the final stages with my follow up to Seven Steps from Snowdon to Everest, and I'm keen to have your feedback about the book cover to ensure it conveys my story and reaches an even bigger audience.
Christmas for me usually means some new ascents in a mountainous region of Africa or Latin America. When I received an email from Jagged Globe announcing a new trip to Ojos del Salado, I didn't have any doubts that was the peak I wanted to climb.
Here's a timely tip if you're off trekking in Nepal this autumn and are looking for some books to read on the trail. My travel diary Islands in the Snow is now available for the first time ever in paperback form. I'm sure you will enjoy it immensely.
Are you keen to branch out and develop the skills to climb higher peaks? Here is a series of mountains further afield that more experienced hikers should visit if you are interested in reaching a challenging altitude.


Migraines are recurrent headaches associated with nausea and vomiting. These incapacitating, severe headaches can last for hours to days to weeks.
Let's go through the physiology of a migraine headache. First we get a contraction of intra-cranial vessels. This is not the migraine yet, but the person gets an aura (getting a sensation that's telling them it's coming) in the form of changing vision or hearing. Something strange may be going on with their vision or in their hearing or both. Typically this is the time they need to take the medication before it hits. To compensate for these blood vessels contracting, serotonin is released, causing dilation of these vessels which impinges the nerves and causes the headache pain. We want to take the medication before the vasodilation occurs.
If a person is prone to migraine headaches, some of the triggers include tension, medications (birth control pills) and some foods such as chocolate and milk.
Again, just like with gouty arthritis we have acute and prophalactic therapy.
If we have a migraine already, then we need to constrict the blood vessels so it won't impinge on the nerves anymore. The problem with these drugs is they are not selective to the intracranial blood vessels. This will put a strain on the heart because all the blood vessels constrict.
The most commonly utilized drugs are the triptans. They are limited to 2 doses only. Again, just like for depression and rheumatoid arthritis, there's no science to this, it's a guessing game. These can also lead to nausea.
Sumatriptan (Imitrex) – inj, p.o., inh – You could inject it or inhale it nasally because it can lead to nausea.
Rizatriptan (Maxalt) – p.o. – Oral but also come with under the tongue solubilized tablets.
Ergotamine (Caffergot) – If they can't have the triptans, they could have ergotamine.
If a person is prone to migraines too often, we need to do something about it. That means they have to do something every day of their life to decrease the risk of migraine.
Beta-blockers: Nobody knows why they work. It was found people taking beta blockers for other reasons were not getting migraines and it got approved for that use. Some anti-seizure drugs have been approved as well but they are harder to tolerate.

6 ways cybercriminals use commercial infrastructure
Whether through fraud or legitimate purchase, cybercriminals increasingly depend on mainstream services to support their activities.
By Maria Korolov
Miakievy / Getty Images
When it comes to cybercriminal infrastructure, the dark web gets the glory with its secret criminal marketplaces, illegal money laundering services and botnets as a service. Criminals also get a lot of what they need from legitimate commercial infrastructure providers.
[ How much does a cyber attack really cost? Take a look at the numbers.. | Get the latest from CSO by signing up for our newsletters. ]
It's not just because mainstream vendors are more reliable than people who break the law for a living. Using commercial infrastructure is also a way for cyber attackers to avoid detection and seem legit while they go about their criminal business. Here are some of the ways that criminals are using -- and abusing -- law-abiding technology infrastructure companies and service providers.
1. Stolen or legitimately purchased cloud services
Criminals can use legitimate payment methods to pay for cloud services, when they're putting them to use in ways that are not too obviously illegal.
In some cases, providers will also accept bitcoin or other anonymized payments. In other cases, there may be resellers, legitimate companies that buy services from the major cloud providers then resell them at a markup to anonymous buyers. "It's quite simple, actually," says Bryan Becker, security researcher at WhiteHat Security. "I did it with a large cloud hosting provider. You go to a website, and it looks and feels real, and you purchase the service and get access immediately. They're a legitimate reseller, but their whole business model is that you can buy hosting using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies."
There's a legitimate use of these services, Becker says, such as when customers live in areas where they don't have banking infrastructure. Some of the resellers may be violating the cloud providers' terms of service, he adds, but they're not necessarily breaking the law.
That's not the only way that criminals can get access to legitimate cloud service providers. "Why pay for it when you can just steal it?" asks Jeff Nathan, principal researcher at security firm Exabeam. Criminals will often have access to stolen credit cards, for example, though they may have to try a lot of them before finding one that works.
Better yet is getting access to enterprise accounts, he says. "If it's a big enough company, with a lot of accounts with a cloud services provider, that gets hard to track," Nathan says. "You get to hide among all the other noise." Once criminals get access to a cloud account, they can use it to host malicious or deceptive websites, coordinate botnet traffic, host malware downloads, temporarily store stolen data, or run phishing campaigns.
If the traffic is coming from a service that a company is already using, it can often bypass security filters. Dominic Sartorio, senior vice president of products and development at security firm Protegrity, recently came across an interesting criminal use of Amazon S3 buckets. Normally, where companies get in trouble with Amazon storage buckets is in the configuration details, accidentally setting them to allow public access. In the case of one large financial services company he worked with, it was the criminals who set up the bucket.
"Their customer service and customer loyalty team was trying to do some analytics," says Sartorio. "They just did it on their own, shadow IT, not going through the right procedures." The criminals got into the middle of this, sending very convincing emails to the team members using spoofed company email addresses, giving them the address of the S3 bucket and inviting them to upload their data. The criminals had already seeded the buckets with fake but realistic-looking data. "So, the marketing team connected to the fake S3 bucket thinking it was their own and uploaded real data," he says.
The bank had several ways it could have protected against this, Sartorio says, and once they learned of the leak, they did set up additional security measures. Sartorio, whose company provides cloud data security software, recommends putting protections around the data itself. "If the data had been tokenized, then the bad actors could not have done anything with the data," he says.
Companies can also apply data loss prevention (DLP) technology to monitor for sensitive data being uploaded to cloud platforms. Anti-phishing technology could also have been used to spot the bad emails. "If you looked at the email, you might have seen it was out of character for the sender, and that it took some strange hops," he says, "but the average non-technical marketing person might not be aware of that."
2. Stolen or poorly validated certificate authorities
Users know to look for a lock symbol when visiting websites, and some browsers or corporate firewalls may block access to insecure sites altogether. This security feature relies on trusted certificates. Certificates are also used to sign software, so that users know they're not downloading viruses.
Certificate abuse is a very common attack method these days, says Peter Smith, co-founder and CEO at Edgewise Networks. "We've seen a lot of malware recently that uses legitimate certificates," he says. "In some cases, they are stolen. In other cases, they are issued because of poor validation processes."
To guard against this, he suggests that enterprises make sure that there are systems in place that require certificates have access to the latest revocation lists and properly vet the certificate issuing authorities. "Make sure that the vendors you rely on are implementing the best practices for certificates," he says.
3. Public security research and disclosures
A lot of cybersecurity information and tools are available via commercial channels, and criminals can easily get access to most of it. Criminals see the new vulnerability disclosures as soon as the security professionals do, and can make use of them immediately, says Gaurav Banga, founder and CEO at security firm Balbix. "Good guys have to go through company protocols," he says. "So, the bad guys can react faster."
Some security vendors publish ranked lists of threats. That gives the attackers a good sense of what the Fortune 500 will be defending against, he says. Then there are tools like VirusTotal and SpamHaus. They are useful for security professionals, says Banga, but also for criminals writing viruses and emails designed to bypass filters.
Criminals have had access to security tools for a long time, says Rob McDonald, VP of product management at security firm Virtru. "It's not so much that the use of these tools is new," he says, "as the sophistication of the actors using it."
CSOs have to up their game, McDonald adds. "I hate to say this, but the reality is that many organizations are still not patching their vulnerabilities as quickly as they should," he says. "Depending on how large they are, it can take weeks or months to respond." Companies need to get better at patching, he says, and, if immediate patching is not an option, take other security measures to mitigate against the risk.
4. Anonymous payment services
There are plenty of reasons for law-abiding citizens to use anonymous payment services. They might want to send gift cards to friends and family, for example. Or, when so many breaches are hitting the headlines, they might not want their real payment information to be visible to anyone else. "There are a lot of services out there, like Blur and Privay.com, that allow you to create anonymized credit cards," says Nathan.
Plus, of course, there's bitcoin. Not all commercial infrastructure providers accept payments in anonymous form. If a criminal really needs to use one of those providers and wants to pay real money instead of using stolen account credentials or stolen credit cards, then some resellers will act as middlemen.
5. "Bulletproof" proxies
Bulletproof proxy services -- also known as smart proxies -- disguise user locations. It's the flip side of bulletproof hosting services, which protect malicious websites. The legitimate purpose is to protect activists in corrupt regimes. A semi-legitimate purpose is to allow users to evade geofencing by content providers. In practice, however, smart proxies are often used by criminals to launch attacks.
The services have access to millions or tens of millions of residential IP addresses. Security vendor Cequence Security saw an 800% in increase in the retail sector traffic coming from residential bulletproof proxies from May and July of this year. In the financial sector, there was a 518% increase and a 361% increase overall. "These networks aren't necessarily illegal because some of them have been built up by users volunteering to be part of the network," says Will Glazier, Cequence's head of threat research. "They volunteer because they basically get hoodwinked." One such network, for example, promised its users a free peer-to-peer VPN service while in reality their computers became part of the proxy botnet.
With some networks offering more than 32 million proxies, it's not likely that all the IP addresses are from willing volunteers. The rest of the botnets are filled out with infected computers, routers, smart cameras -- any network connected device on a residential IP address.
Once in place, these botnets can be used to, say, try logging in to a bank with breached usernames and passwords. "They will route a million requests through a million different IPs with a million different credential pairs," Glazier says. "The purpose is to make it look like a million different normal, average American users." The same tactic can be used for ad click fraud and other attacks where the source needs to look like an average person.
The problem has to be attacked on several fronts, says Glazier. One is for the ISPs to take down the botnets themselves, he says. "We go right to the ISP and say, 'We've seen 50,000 IP addresses of yours hitting a customer, and we think they're routers of the same type.' They can update the router and reset it."
For individual companies defending against credential stuffing and ad click fraud, the current best practice is to use behavioral analytics to spot suspicious logins. For example, a security camera does not usually need to check its bank balance at two o'clock in the morning. "Another deviation from usual behavior is the speed of the login," says Glazier. "A human can't type at a certain speed."
6. Call forwarding platforms
People are more likely to answer a phone call if the phone number looks a lot like their own, says Protegrity's Sartorio. This is particularly true of enterprise employees, who can easily recognize a number that belongs to the company's phone exchange, or very close to it. "A lot of companies won't reserve the entire block," he added. "They might have a handful of individual phone numbers."
For example, many companies have a voice-over-IP (VOIP) system in which all the telephone numbers in a given location begin with the same area code, then the same first three digits. The main number is published on the company's website, so it's easy for the criminals to find and guess at the phone number pattern at that location.
"You have these phone center platforms that can automatically provision a new phone number and can secure phone numbers close to your targets," Sartorio says. Attackers use these services for their robocalls in an attempt to get a company employee on the line and then try to use social engineering to, say, make them think they're talking to company tech support. Protegrity has already added this topic to the security awareness training for its own employees, he says.
