Before 10am on Friday, a seven-year-old boy was taking his mother's rent money to the leasing office of their apartment complex on Seagraves Drive. He was carrying $310 in a clear plastic bag.
A tall, thin black man who was playing basketball called out to him and approached the little boy as he passed the court, said the report. The man pushed the child to the ground and took the money, then fled on foot toward Woody Lane.
Police arrived at 11 to talk with the child and his mother, according to the report. He told them what had happened and said the man who took the money had long braids, and wore a white t-shirt and baggy jeans that showed his blue underwear.
The seven-year-old wasn't injured during the robbery, the report said.
The investigation continues.

CFDA Awards 2010
Every year, The Council of Fashion Designers of America honors the top names in fashion in a variety of categories, and this year's accolades went to tastemakers we truly could not live without. Michael Kors pocketed the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, Marc Jacobs claimed another much-deserved Womenswear Designer of the Year statue, Alexis Bittar took home the title of Accessory Designer of the Year, Jason Wu won the Swarovski Award for Womenswear, and hometown favorite Alexander Wang snagged the Swarovski Award for Accessory Design. And while Ralph Lauren may have won the CFDA's popular vote, it's the eleven attendees we present you with today who were cause for our personal sartorial celebration. These ladies not only brought style in spades, often opting for a cool palette of black and white or a bold pop of pattern, but they also instantly intrigued us with their unfussy looks. The simplicity of their red-carpet outfits remind us that looking chic is all about the harmony of a few well-chosen accessories highlighting the construction of a well-made piece. Which isÂ--when the last champagne flute has been emptied and the last Choo surreptitiously slipped offÂ--what a soiree honoring fashion should be all about!Â--Liza Kaplan

Issue #145
Knoppix 7.0.4
The latest Knoppix Live Linux DVD is based on Debian stable (squeeze) with newer desktop packages from Debian/ testing and Debian/ unstable (wheezy). Current computer hardware is supported by kernel 3.4.9 and Xorg 7.7 (core 1.12.3), and the Apt database now contains all data necessary to install software directly via Synaptic.
On this month's disc, you'll find a complete selection of applications, including LibreOffice 3.5.4 and the Chromium 21 and Iceweasel 10 web browsers. Knoppix 7.0.4 features the LXDE desktop by default with file manager PCManFM 1.0, or you can boot to KDE 4.7.4 or Gnome 3.4. The new Knoppix supports exFATFUSE and OProfile, a system profiler; additionally, gprsconnect and modemlink have been repaired. An optional 64-bit kernel supports systems with more than 4GB of RAM, as well as chroot to 64-bit installations for system rescue. zRam compression will compress up to 75% of main memory, so large programs do not need to use swap space, and the system can use up to twice as much "virtual" RAM.

This is the first time that these three figurative painters have exhibited together in London. They provide us with a valuable opportunity to become aware of the breadth of pictorial, intellectual and social themes being explored by leading artists in China.
All three are ink painters who have long been recognised in China as having expanded the frontiers of the genre to produce work that is relevant and meaningful to today's society without jettisoning its intimate links with the classical canon.
The subject matter in each case could not be more different. Li Jin's buoyant paintings express the joy of life and emphasise that its source is in simple pleasures, not the crude materialism rampant in modern China.
Liu Qinghe also is deeply sceptical about the orientation of contemporary mores and poignantly depicts humans left behind by unfettered capitalism.
And Wu Yi is the satirist similarly alert to the darker side of Chinese economic growth but focussing with merciless humour on the leaden bureaucracy and its puny insignificance in the context of history.

ju·donoun \ˈjü-(ˌ)dō\
: a sport developed in Japan in which opponents attempt to throw or wrestle each other to the ground
Full Definition of JUDO
Origin of JUDO
judonoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Martial art that emphasizes the use of quick movement and leverage to throw an opponent. Its techniques are generally intended to turn an opponent's force to one's own advantage rather than to oppose it directly. The opponent must be thrown cleanly, pinned, or mastered through the application of pressure to arm joints or the neck. Judo is now practiced primarily as sport. It became an Olympic sport in 1964; women's judo was added in 1992. The sport evolved out of jujitsu in late-19th-century Japan.

NEW ORLEANS -- Buffalo News senior columnist Jerry Sullivan asked a pointed question that created a major storyline at Super Bowl XLVII media day.
Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed, an 11-year veteran, mentioned how a violent game has impacted his health.
"I feel effects from it," Reed said. "Some days, I wake up and I'm like, 'Where did my memory go?' But at the same time, I signed up for it.
"Football has been like that for a long time, for ages. Football has always been a contact sport, and it's always going to be a violent sport, and there are going to be repercussions from that. But every player that ever played this game and will play this game, they're signing up for it."
Sullivan asked Reed if legendary San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots linebacker Junior Seau signed up for it.
Seau, 43, committed suicide in May. An examination of Seau's brain showed he suffered trauma from repeated blows to the head. In a lawsuit against the NFL, Seau's family claimed he struggled with depression, insomnia and memory loss.
"Did he sign up for it?'' Reed replied. "Yeah, he signed up to play football. Things are going to happen.
"Do I want it to happen? No. When I was on a golf course, did I want to hear about Junior Seau? No, I didn't want to hear that. I grew up watching him play. That was a sad day, a sad day. And there have been many other guys that have been down that road that you didn't want to hear about because of football."

One thing she won't miss: Chasing down students to enforce school dress code
- Last Updated on 07:25 AM 07/09/12
- BY Tiffany Hudson
Needing some flexibility in her life, Halifax County High School Associate Principal Debbie Griles retired effective June 30 after 24 years with the Halifax County Public School System.
Griles said the decision didn't come easy.
Describing it as one of the most difficult decisions she has ever had to make, Griles said she didn't finally make up her mind until June 26.
"It was a tremendous burden, but I needed some flexibility in my life and working at the high school or any school required commitment," said Griles.
But one thing she won't miss is enforcing the dress code at the high school and chasing down those students who violated it to make them change into more appropriate school attire.
Unlike her husband, Joe, who retired last year after 40 years in education, Griles has not spent her entire career in the county school system.
For 19 years she worked at Burlington Industries before deciding to go back to school to attain her teaching certificate and later her master's degree.
She began teaching at Scottsburg Elementary as an English/Language Arts teacher and then later moved to Halifax County Middle School to teach seventh grade English.
In 2000 she was approved as the assistant principal at Halifax County High School, a position that later led to her most recent promotion to associate principal.
"After working with adults all those years, I really enjoyed the interactions with the students whether it was elementary, middle or high school," said Griles.
"They really provided such an insight into the real world. They see rules and regulations so differently; talking to them was always really interesting. Every child brings something different into the building every morning," she added.
During her years at the high school she saw programs grow, and programs fade including the popular governor's school.
According to Griles, the students participating in the program needed a liaison between the schools and that became her job… she "was that person."
"I took those kids under my wing," said Griles.
The students often referred to Griles as "Mama G" or "Mama Griles," and she hated to see the program get the axe due to budget constraints.
However, other programs such as dual enrollment and advanced placement have only grown at the county high school.
"It was a challenge. We had to look at offering equal opportunities for all populations of students," said Griles.
If the associate principal could change anything about her academic career, she said she wished she could change the fact that the schools didn't have to spend so much curriculum time on testing for Standards of Learning.
"The No Child Left Behind has its advantages, but the stress it takes to get to the extras concerns me," said Griles.
Griles currently doesn't have any future long range plans and is unsure what the school system will do with her position.
However she said she plans to participate in the Local Optional Retirement Plan.
And for a change of pace, she is looking forward to doing things on the spur of the moment and not living by a calendar.
"I've lived by a calendar for so long, I want to make the most out of each day and enjoy the days," said Griles.
She and her husband plan to do some traveling with several trips already in the works. For starters, Griles said she hopes to go back to New York and see the Statue of Liberty.
Griles resides in South Boston with her husband, Joe.

Gary Church: I don't know if I can carry all the stars in my crown, I have bad knees
Gary Church
New Castle News
My wife and I were invited to spend Christmas Eve in the home of our friends Bruce and Joan Aiken.
While sitting around and drinking about a 1/2 gallon of
delicious egg
, a few others in the room started expressing sympathy to my wife.
No one in our family had died or gotten sick, it was just sympathy for being married to me.
One told her there would be extra stars in her crown for her endurance.
In my defense, it's me who should get the extra stars. I am a battered husband.
Just the other day, my grandson Austin came in the room and reported than my wife was calling me names.
You know we men have to stick together.
Being a little curious, I asked, "What did she call me?"
Austin said, "She said you were a
and goofball."
There you have it! Proof of what I have to put up with.
I mentioned this happening while at the
Fellow New Castle News columnist Ralph
stated, "Those aren't names. They actually appear on his drivers license, under
I checked my license, and that's not true.
I never call my wife anything but endearing names like, honey, sweetheart and maybe bonehead once in a while.
It's not only verbal abuse that I suffer from.
The other day when it snowed real bad, she washed my jeans. She gave me a pair of shorts to put on, for when I go out and walk the dog.
I nearly froze to death.
Now that you know the rest of the story, I'm sure everyone will start throwing their support my way.
I'm just not sure if I need any more stars in my crown.
I don't know how much each one weighs, and I have bad knees.
Maybe some plastic stars would be okay.

If you're not the type of person who would normally spend $47 on a photography book, consider making an exception for the Expanded Edition of Looking In. Robert Frank traveled 10,000 miles through 30 states, shot 767 rolls of film, made 1000 work prints, and edited down to the 83 photos in what is one of the most important photography books ever made.
The essays, histories, and correspondence in the book are all superb. If you don't own Frank's original book, it's worthwhile to note that Looking In contains all 83 images from The Americans. But here's the real kicker:
- All 83 proof sheets for the selected images are reproduced in the Expanded Edition.
Whether you've meditated on the power of The Americans for decades, or have never even seen it, you couldn't buy more learning about photography for $47 anywhere.
Photography book aficionados take note: the Expanded Edition also includes Frank's preliminary sequencing, a look at variant crops in different editions, and additional letters by Frank, Walker Evans, and Jack Kerouac.
The Expanded Edition of Looking in has been in and out of stock at Amazon, which lists a 1-3 week turnaround time. My copy arrived in about 2 weeks with free shipping.
The Looking In exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Americans opens next month at SF MOMA, and runs from May 16 – August 23rd.

Gov. Martin O'Malley's "long-promised" 16-mile Purple Line, in Maryland's Washington, DC, suburbs, and 14-mile Red Line in Baltimore face tough funding challenges, The Washington Post reported.
Without the tax revenue dedicated to transportation that a gas tax increase could have brought in, the state might even have to choose between the two light-rail lines, transportation experts told The Post.
The gas tax has not been increased in Maryland since 1992.
Construction on both lines has been slated to begin in 2015, with the Purple Line ready for use in 2020 and the Red Line ready in 2021. But without enough funding, construction on one of the lines might have to wait another five years, The Post reported.
"Time to find additional money is short. State and local officials say they have 12 to 18 months to prove to the Federal Transit Administration that Maryland can pay half the cost of constructing one or both lines. Otherwise, the state could fall behind in the rigorous competition for federal transit money," The Post added.
To compete for federal funds, the state must commit to at least half of its share by 2013, according to The Post.
Other funding options—like public-private partnerships or special taxes on developers and landowners whose property values would increase due to proximity to the light-rail stations—are under consideration, Maryland Transportation Secretary Beverley Swaim-Staley—who will step down from her post on July 1—told The Post.
The Post noted that "the project also faces significant opposition—and potential legal delays—from the [Town] of Chevy Chase, a country club and trail advocates who say a rail line would destroy the wooded Georgetown Branch walking and biking path between Bethesda and Silver Spring."
Do you think the Purple Line can be funded without an increase in the gas tax? Tell us in the comments.

On Thursday night, Kendrick put together its best effort of the season to win its first game, 34-0, over Temple. Twenty-four hours later, Spencer hung 46 points on the board en route to its first win, this one coming against Jordan.
And while it's just one win, and the two teams will be back at it with plenty to prove again this week, the importance of those victories shouldn't be underestimated. Both teams are in the process of building programs from the bottom up, Spencer especially as it is working in its first season under head coach Calvin Arnold.
For teams that have experienced such sporadic success over the years, a taste of it can serve a number of purposes.
For one, it lets the kids know what it feels like and what it takes to get the win. Understanding the level of effort it requires to get a win and that it isn't as easy as taking the field and running faster than your opponent are important steps to success.
So is simply tasting the success. It gives teams a reference point to see what they did differently. More importantly, though, it lets them understand how much better it feels than the alternative. Teams that start winning games aren't in a hurry to lose again any time soon. It changes the attitude and the effort, both in practices and in games.
Players and coaches become more optimistic, they loosen up and their stress level decreases dramatically.
The alternative is a feeling of impatience, wondering if and when a win will come. It begins to seem less likely. Things that could go against a team usually do.
Not that one win changes everything, of course. Spencer's Arnold said after the win on Friday that it was big, but equally important to stay focused going forward.
"This is a big victory for our team, but looking forward, we need to stay humble," he said. "It feels good to get the first win out of the way for me and the team, but, having said that, we still have a long way to go."
And that's the right way to approach it. It's important to balance excitement for the win with a lack of satisfaction and a thirst to continue to improve.
Both teams, and others that are still trying to find success, have lofty goals for the season. Players for both Kendrick and Spencer have said they would like to do enough to make the playoffs. Damarkus Robins, who had a big game for Spencer on Friday, noted again on Monday that was still the team's goal. One win doesn't clinch a playoff berth, but it can serve as a boost for the rest of the season.
Are either of those teams going to make the state playoffs? It's tough to say. There are plenty of other talented teams they will be playing against, and it's going to take a lot more work to make that a reality. But at least now, the players understand it's a possibility. They can win football games; they can be successful.
It's a start.

OPEN DAILY 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
From a hairy tarantula to a talking African gray parrot, you never know what you'll bump into in Ranger Rick's Backyard Safari at the Tennessee Aquarium!
» Our Animals » Invertebrates » Mexican Red-knee Tarantula
Tarantulas are very delicate creatures. They do not have bones or any internal skeleton. Instead they have an exoskeleton that must be shed (molted) on a regular basis. When molting occurs, the tarantula splits the old skeleton, often lays on its back and slowly pulls its entire body out, including all the sensory and defensive hairs. This takes several hours and puts the tarantula in a very vulnerable state.
CONSERVATION International trade was restricted when Mexican red-knee tarantulas were listed under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild flora and fauna) Appendix II in 1985. IUCN lists red-knee tarantulas as Lower Risk/Near Threatened.
SIZE: 2.5" body with a 5" leg span RANGE: Pacific coast of Mexico HABITAT: Burrows in the rocky areas under thorny bushes in deserts, scrublands or dry to tropical deciduous forests DIET: Primarily insects and other invertebrates but will eat young mice and other foods occasionally

There was no hiding the disappointment of the Bucknell men's basketball team when it lost to Lehigh on Wednesday night, but the biggest key for the Bison was not to let the loss affect it.
"We only have two options, like coach said in the locker room: Learn from it or let it affect us for the rest of the season," Bucknell center Mike Muscala said after the Lehigh game. "I think we'll learn from it."
Bucknell bounced back with a 65-58 victory over Holy Cross on Saturday as Bryson Johnson went 4-for-4 from the line in the last 40 seconds of a tight game.
The Bison then got a little lucky Sunday when Lafayette did them a huge favor. The Leopards went on the road and dismantled Lehigh, 78-57, in front of the largest crowd at Stabler Arena in two years. Lafayette shot 70 percent (21-of-30) in the second half and put five players in double figures led by Levi Geise's 17 points.
The Lafayette victory put Bucknell and Lehigh in a tie for first in the Patriot League at 4-1, with the Leopards a game behind at 3-2.
The Bison visit both Lafayette (Feb. 16) and Lehigh (Feb. 18) for consecutive games in the second half.
Lehigh won its first four games of the Patriot League season before Sunday's loss to Lafayette without preseason player of the year C.J McCollum, who broke his foot in early January.
With an NBA career in his future, McCollum could have taken the opportunity to focus on getting healthy for June's NBA draft. However, the senior was sitting on the bench Wednesday night at Sojka Pavilion cheering on his teammates.
"He is the one person beside coach (Brett) Reed whose voice I hear when I'm on the court," Geise said. "He is with us in spirit on the floor and he's like another coach in practice."
McCollum's dedication to his teammates showed up Sunday in a bit of an odd way. The Lehigh guard was supposed to have a press conference with the local Allentown media before the team's noon tip to update the status of his injury.
McCollum cancelled the press conference Saturday morning because, as he said in a statement, he felt uncomfortable deflecting the attention away from his teammates.
McCollum said in the statement that his injury is healing and the therapy is going well, but didn't give a time table for his return.
When the injury happened, Lehigh and McCollum did state there was a chance he could return late in the season.
The Bucknell women's basketball team improved to 4-1 in the Patriot League on Saturday afternoon with amazing come-from-behind win over Holy Cross.
The four wins aren't particularly noteworthy until you consider the Bison won four games all of last season.
First-year coach Aaron Roussell has performed an amazing turnaround in Lewisburg. The Bison now have a shot at the Patriot League title, not bad for a team picked by the league coaches to be tied for seventh in the preseason.
Wednesday night at Sojka Pavilion, Bucknell begins a stretch of three games that will go a long way in determining its fate.
Bucknell is in a logjam of teams tied at 4-1 atop the league, and the Bison face the same teams in their next three games. Bucknell hosts American on Wednesday, then travels to Navy on Saturday and faces Navy on Feb. 9.
Roussell has turned things around at Bucknell by making sure his squad has an identity, something it can rely on when times get tough on the court. This Bison squad relies on its defense and rebounding to overcome an offense that struggles at times in the halfcourt.
It's led to some fun games to watch with Bucknell often racing out to a big lead, letting a team get back in the game, before winning a close one in the end. Then there are games like Saturday's home win over Holy Cross, when the Bison trailed by 14 points with a little over seven minutes left before rallying to win.

The Empire State Building's Disgusting Kowtow to China
The Chinese government has learned its lesson: Everything has a price.
By Doug Heye, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
I'll never forget driving into Manhattan the evening of December 12, 1995. It was Frank Sinatra's 80th birthday. A huge Sinatra fan, I had the radio tuned to WQEW-AM, a New York station in the middle of a multi-day Sinatra A-Z broadcast. As the skyline came into view, I noticed the Empire State Building bathed in blue to honor Ol' Blue Eyes.
The floodlights atop to Empire State Building, of course, often use different colors—red and green for Christmas; red, white, and blue on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Bastille Day; green for St. Patrick's Day, to name, but a few.
The lights are often used, as one would imagine, for commercial purposes—special colors for the launch of Microsoft's Windows95, the video release of The Simpsons Movie, and last year's three-day celebration of the accomplishments (whatever they may be) of Mariah Carey.
Tonight the Empire State Building will be awash in red and yellow. But instead of honoring a singer intrinsically linked to the city, holidays, or something crassly commercial, the Empire State Building, as reported by the Agence France Presse, will "honor the 60th Anniversary of communist China."
What specifically has the Empire State Building decided to honor?
Will it honor the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, where the government murdered hundreds of its own citizens and rolled out tanks to quell any showing of support for freedom?
Is this to honor Mao Zedong, whose euphemistically-named Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution led to the mass starvation and mass murder of 40-70 million Chinese, a death toll perhaps surpassing that of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin combined, and led him to declare "China is such a populous nation, it's not as if we cannot do without a few people?"
Or is this to honor China's 1950 invasion of Tibet and subsequent famine, mass deaths, and continued domination over its land, people, and culture?
You almost have to hand it to the Chinese government. As the country opened up economically (while tightening its grip back home), it learned enough about western capitalism to know that anything has a price. Apparently that includes honoring a regime responsible for the murder of millions upon millions of people. And with the Chinese consul on hand for a ceremonial switch of the flip, doing so with style.
In 2004, the Empire State Building paid tribute to the late actress Fay Wray, of King Kong fame, by switching off its lights. Such an action would be more appropriate than honoring a murderous regime.

A man who misrepresented himself as an attorney in San Mateo County court will soon face trial on 13 felony counts.
John Hedderman, 52, of Stanton, who was disbarred in California in 2000, reportedly stole the identify of a Southern California attorney named Donald Welch in order to take on a client, charge him attorney's fees, and actually represent him in San Mateo County court.
According to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office this week, Hedderman met a man named Ruben Bisceglia in Southern California last year. Knowing Bisceglia was seeking an attorney to represent him in a case he had pending in San Mateo County Court, Hedderman introduced himself to Bisceglia as "Donald Welch" - a Southern California attorney he had once worked for as a paralegal.
Hedderman took Bisceglia on as his client, even appearing on his behalf in San Mateo County court on three separate occasions between March and August of 2012.
Hedderman reportedly charged Bisceglia roughly $1,000 for his fraudulent attorney services.
However, his deception eventually caught up with him when Deputy District Attorney Sharon Cho looked up contact information for Donald Welch in order to ask him a question about victim restitution ordered in Bisceglia's case - and she ended up contacting the real Donald Welch.
When the real Donald Welch told Cho he did not represent any clients by the name of Ruben Bisceglia, and that knew nothing about his case, Hedderman's identity theft was uncovered.
In fact, the real Donald Welch, an attorney in Southern California, had never even been to San Mateo County.
Kevin Raffaelli, inspector for the San Mateo County DA's Office, then launched an investigation, during which he discovered that Hedderman had previously been convicted on 12 felony counts in Orange County for misrepresenting himself as an attorney in order to represent a client in a family law dispute case in 2008.
Hedderman appeared in San Mateo County Court earlier this week to face charges. His trial is set to begin on March 4.
Hedderman is currently out of custody on $50,000 bail.

Chris Kyle Tribute Page
Chris Kyle was murdered not too far south of where I'm at right now. In fact, I had recently looked into a place to go shooting and I had come across the very range where he was killed at (in Glen Rose, Texas) and I even visited his website some time ago while researching training and certification to make hunting trips more fruitful and home defense more secure.
But, alas, I never registered for any of the classes or visited that range. I wish I had.
Chris Kyle's Company - If you want to make a donation to his family, I suggest going straight to Craft International as you know the income goes straight to his next of kin.
"Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world." - James 1:27 (HCSB)
- - - Updated - - -
Update: I do all of the website work for a conglomerate company in Mansfield, Texas, that owns a bunch of different businesses including a large restaurant-bar-club in Mansfield called Fat Daddy's Sports & Spirits Cafe.
Anyhow, because it's one of the largest venues of it's type in the southern part of the DFW area (I guess) and is only about 10 miles NW of Midlothian (where the Kyle family lived), the Navy SEALs rented it out last night to have a "private party", which was a few hundred of them getting together to honor the falling of Chris Kyle.
What's odd is that we had rumors that the Westboro Baptist Church protesters (who were surrounded when they tried to picket his funeral at Cowboy's Stadium - from what I was told) were going to come to Fat Daddy's to protest as well. They never showed up. I will never understand that group.
- - - Updated - - -
Second Update: HAHA, just talked to the GM at Fat Daddy's. Last night one of the SEALs got up on the bar and hung an American flag from the top of the bar (and this is a big bar), then hung Kyle's skull and crossbones flag (that's his unit I guess). One of the managers was like, "What's he doing? He can't do that." The GM laughed and told him to go ahead and get up there and take it down if he wanted to. lol. The flags stayed up there all night.

the whole thing is one big sad story. turns out that Kyle didn't even know that guy who killed him and that his mother has reached out to Kyle to help him get over PTSD.
the new york times has a good article on it. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/05/us...eath.html?_r=0
what's maybe the most upsetting to me is that this guy Eddie Ray Routh was held in a pysch hospital until the previous week and may have killed Kyle just to get his truck.
The authorities on Monday were trying to piece together what happened next, but said that it seemed that Mr. Routh turned on the two men, shooting both multiple times with a semiautomatic handgun and fleeing in Mr. Kyle's truck before his arrest near his home here. But court documents suggest that Mr. Routh may have wanted to steal Mr. Kyle's truck, a black Ford F-350 pickup with large tires and rims. Shortly before his arrest, Mr. Routh told his sister and brother-in-law that he had killed the two men and "traded his soul for a new truck," according to an arrest affidavit.

I met Chris Kyle last year at a VFW/Retired Navy Chief function, cant say we were good friends, barely new each other. He and another friend of his came out on my boat to go skiing a week later and we made plans to stay in touch and do it again next summer.
He was a pretty decent guy, hate to see someone survive a hell hole overseas only to come home where you would think it's safe and end up getting senselessly killed.
Eddie Ray Routh definitely had issues going on, and to blame some of it on where his country sent him would be justified, reading his history just highlights the problems with Active Duty medical processing and the VA medical system. Some Vets coming home need more than just being shuffled through the system. This doesn't exonerate them from the crimes they commit but when you spend so much time training someone to hate another enough to kill them you cant just flip a switch and send them back to society, some require more deprogramming and in depth dissection than others.
RIP. It was sad when I heard he was killed doing his charity after all the times he made it home safely after deploying.David

It is a sad day. I never had the chance to meet the man but I did follow his work.
I was at the ceremony a few years back for the SEAL's that died in the helicopter crash. Every SEAL that was not out of country was offered a flight to attend. To see those men come from far and wide to pay respect to their brothers was an experience I am glad I was able to have. To be able to stand for those who stood for me will be something I will carry forever.

I agree that the VA isn't good for much, these people really should seek to supplement their medical care with private practice care as well. Just my $.02.

Thread: Ride-Along
When a civillian does a ride-along with you what types of questions do you like to hear from them? Do you want them to be taking notes during the ride-along? Are there any types of question you don't like recieving? I know people will say it varies from officer to officer depending on who you are riding with but I would just like general answers to these questions.What makes someone a hero? According to the dictionary a hero is someone, typically a man, who is admired for courage or noble qualities. In the dictionary heros are also known as the chief male character in a book, play, or movie, who is typically identified with good qualities. A hero is someone who walks into your life as it is crumbling to pieces and is there for you when it seems like the rest of the world is walking out.
sit back and enjoy the ride. if you are doing the ride along for school then take notes. if you are doing the ride along to see if you want to be the police then be a sponge and soak it all up. i dont like personal questions. for your safety immediately do what the officers says, he might not have time to explain till later.

Ask whatever you want, if I don't feel like answering then I'll tell you so. There's nothing specific that I'm hoping you'll ask. Take notes if you want, but unless you're doing the ride for school I'm going to think that you're weird. If you do need to take notes, I'd be happy to let you copy interesting stuff off of my call log later so that you can actually enjoy the ride.
As long as you seem to be taking an active interest, and you can hold down your half of a reasonably intelligent conversation, we'll get along just fine.

Angels made in China
Wow, So disapointed. I have a pair of the Angels made in Poland and they still look brand new after all these years. The quality was amazing. ISO 9002 certified, But the quality sucks I really wish MFG went back to poland. The Chinese are pros at cutting corners. SO SO disapointed. I wonder who bought the Polish facility? Maybe they have the better product now.

A dream come true
Dear Mr Fluevog Many years ago, as a teenager, I followed a link from a blog and discovered your beautiful shoes. Living in England I knew I would have to wait until I was able to visit the US or Canada to purchase a pair. I've been waiting for about 10 years but this year I finally realised a dream and made my first trip to New York. Thanks to the very helpful staff in your SOHO store I also purchased my very first pair of Fluevogs. They have already made two outings and been admired by all my friends. Hopefully one day I can make another trip and buy some more!

Wanted: Perfect flats
Dear Mr. Fluevog, I love your shoes. I have three pairs. I want more. I am currently in the market for the PERFECT ballet flats and I would LOVE to give my money to you. So listen to me now and do as I say... ;) Please make some lovely, simple-yet-funky ballet flats in BUTTERY soft leather that will fit an average width foot. Please make them have light elastic at the sides of the heel but NOT at the back of the heel, that part must be smooth. Please create them in a range of both fun and practical colors: black, red, nude, and any other awesome hues you can imagine. And when you do as I have instructed, I will give you all the money I can spare to acquire several pairs. Thank you. <3

Posted by beige from Love,ca:
In my opinion...
Fluevog- a company which seeks out advertising from the public, in return for shoes and your picture on their website; have seemed to incarcerate themselves within a certain market. A rather narrow demographic consisting of momma-billy has-beens and the occasional weekend goth at best. With a slogan as specific as "unique soles for unique souls", the average consumer is lead to believe the product is not universal, but designed for the non-conformist in mind. Single handedly axing a solid chunk of potential buyers from even a sliver of consideration. Here is where firsts impressions play major roles. At first glance, the shoe IS different, by aesthetic, however it IS still a shoe. Adding that you must be unique to wear the shoe only instills the same message as the visual does, in turn creating a double negative effect. If you tell a rebellious person to rebel then the whole scheming idea is tainted. Their claims are contradicted and instead of the consumer feeling individualized, they're lead to believe they are in fact, actually one of many. I feel that your horizons are only as vast as you imagine them, in John Fluevog's case, extremely shortsighted .

From NYC - Alberta
A huge thank you to the great service I received in NYC in August at the SOHO store. I wasn't able to purchase my size in some new vogs but I was able to try new styles and confirm the size I needed to find online. I have bought more shoes in the SOHO store than any other vog store. I always find the staffers there to be understanding and patient. I ordered my Prepares as soon as we got back to the hotel that eve and they arrived promptly the day after we returned home to Red Deer. La La love em! Thanks to the gals in SOHO for their tips and insight.

Almost 2 months ago to the day I bought my beautiful boots in Gastown, Vancouver. If I could of, I would have bought a pair of nearly every shoe in the shop. They are so-o-o beautiful and unique. I'd hazard a guess that no-one else in my home city has a pair. Why, oh why, are these wonderful creations available in England. Maybe one day eh?!

- Health Notes
Think on This DrinkThink on This DrinkStudy says cognition in children may be enhanced by drinking water before a testCould the key to a clearer mind be as simple as having a glass of water? A study published in the journal Appetite suggests that thinking function (cognition) in children may be enhanced by drinking water before a test.
Several studies have shown a link between hydration and thinking in adults, but less is known about the connection in children. What few studies have been conducted in this area indicate that water can help children who were purposely dehydrated to perform better on cognitive function tests that assess visual attention and visual memory.
The goal of the new study was to expand what is already known about dehydration and the capacity for clear thought in six- and seven-year-old children, by looking at the children in their natural hydration state. After completing a series of baseline cognitive function tests, 11 of the 23 children were given a 500-ml bottle of water (about two cups) and asked to drink as much as they wanted. The rest of the children were not offered water. About 45 minutes later, both groups of children completed the tests again.
Compared with the no-water group, measurements of cognitive function in the water-group children were significantly improved, including visual attention and visual search. "These results indicate that even under conditions of mild dehydration, children's cognitive performance can be improved by having a drink of water," said the study's authors. Drinking water also seemed to improve mood in the children, although the team said that while these results were novel, they weren't conclusive.
Water on the go
It's easy to skimp on water when you're out and about. Most experts agree that adults need about 64 ounces of water each day; children need somewhat less, depending on their size and activity level.
- Make sure to bring along a reusable stainless steel water bottle to keep hydrated on the run.
- Avoid reusing single-use plastic bottles (like those used for sale of bottled water), as these can break down and allow the plastic materials to leach into the water.
- Look for bottles labeled "BPA-free." BPA, or bisphenol-A, is a hormone-disrupting chemical that is used widely in everything from baby bottles to the liners of canned foods. While the jury is out as to how toxic this chemical may prove to be, it's probably wise to avoid it when possible.

Puppies and kittens are often the pride and joy of owners or breeders who only want the best for their animals. In certain
cases, these animals have a high monetary value to the owner. To general veterinary practitioners, however, critically ill
neonates can represent fear of the unfamiliar.
Knowing the common emergencies that occur in neonates and the differences between neonatal and adult physiology can help you
manage these delicate patients in a manner that provides the highest possible survival rate. Although important decisions
must often be made quickly, an intensive treatment effort will often be rewarded with lifelong loyal clients. In this article,
we focus on the specific challenges of treating sick neonatal puppies and kittens, emphasizing the importance of addressing
hypoxia, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and dehydration to stabilize these patients.
Neonates face an increased risk of mortality if they are born to dams that are older or overweight, or both,4 if they are born to queens that are more than 3 years old,4 or if they are underweight at birth or fail to steadily gain weight thereafter.3 Low birth weight and rate of weight gain are the most important predictors of neonatal mortality.
In one study of 477 kittens, 60% of those with low birth weights died before weaning, while 68% of the remaining kittens that
had a normal birth weight survived past the weaning period.5 Neonates born prematurely have low birth weights, have not reached their full physiologic maturity, have decreased lung
surfactant, and are not ready to face environmental challenges.5 Also, puppies and kittens with lower birth weights, even if born full-term, can rapidly become hypothermic because of a
higher body surface area to body mass ratio and, if too weak to nurse, may not be able to maintain proper blood glucose concentrations.6,7
A normal birth weight for a medium-sized dog (about 30 to 60 lb adult weight) is 500 ± 150 g (varies greatly among breeds
and individuals) and for a kitten is 100 ± 10 g.8 Neonates may lose about 10% their body weight within the first 24 hours after birth because of water evaporation from the
body, but they should gain weight steadily thereafter. Puppies and kittens should gain roughly 10% of their body weight per
day during the neonatal period.8 Monitoring weight at least twice a day will detect neonates that are failing to gain weight.
Other factors that can contribute to neonatal mortality include genetics (e.g. feline neonatal isoerythrolysis), environmental factors (dystocia, maternal neglect, neonatal management), and viral diseases
(e.g. canine herpesvirus and parvovirus infections; canine distemper; infectious canine hepatitis; feline herpesvirus, feline
leukemia virus, and feline calicivirus infections; feline panleukopenia).

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Lamont Peterson thrilled the home crowd by keeping his IBF light welterweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Dierry Jean at the DC Armory Saturday night.
Peterson (32-2, 16 KOs), who won by scores of 118-111, 116-112 and 115-113, bounced back from a third-round TKO defeat to Lucas Martin Matthysse in May of last year. That fight counted as a successful title defense by Matthysse by the WBC, but Peterson's championship was not on the line.
Peterson landed more than 100 more punches than Jean (25-1, 17 KOs), who makes his home in Montreal. Jean, who entered the ring wearing a classic Quebec Nordiques NHL jersey, took a solid left to the face in the fifth round that slowed his progress. He was dominated in the middle rounds of the fight.

The video for James Vincent McMorrow's "Red Dust," taken from the Irish songwriter's upcoming second album, Post Tropical, is ambiguous and at times unsettling – just like the song. The clip starts with a young girl walking back to her trailer home to find a would-be suitor in a state of despair. After the girl fights off the young man, she pushes past her mother (we presume) and into her own room. There she begins to question her own identity, pulling out fashion magazines, men's clothes and an automatic assault rifle.
Readers Pick the Top 10 Songwriters of All Time
McMorrow's music increases the tension. He sings in a choir-like falsetto, extending words so they are more strands of notes then words. Underneath him are deconstructed electronic beats that resemble R&B, but broken apart and filtered, so they only reference their origins. Between McMorrow's ghostly voice and the avant-garde beats, the song results in a strange, brooding new version of a classic R&B slow jam.
Post Tropical will be released on January 14th, and McMorrow is touring Australia and Europe soon.

Akron city planners are about to consider a proposal to add some high adventure to the city's sedate Cascade Locks Park.
The Cascade Locks Park Association has submitted a lease plan to the Akron Planning Commission to build a zip line that would extend up to 1,200 feet along the old canal locks off Howard and West North streets just north of downtown Akron.
To construct the zip line would likely take about $100,000, so the nonprofit association is seeking financial backers, said Ferris Brown, the executive director of the association.
The park drops 80 feet in the Cascade Locks with its five canal locks, and this would make an ideal outdoor playground, he said. The zip line could be built and open perhaps as early as April 1.
"But we still have a lot of details to work out," Brown said.
The zip-line attraction along the canal would provide a new way for the grass-roots group to raise needed funds and also attract visitors to the park and its canal-era Mustill Store, Brown said.
The proposed lease goes to the city planning board on Dec. 14 and would then make its way to the Akron City Council in late December or early January.
Riders would be equipped with a safety helmet, work gloves and two harnesses. They would be attached to the zip line in a sitting position.
The zip-line course would begin off Beech Street behind the Innerbelt Nite Club. Riders would glide along a steel cable from tower to tower.
Towers up to 70 feet tall would have to be constructed along the route.
The association is looking to the FirstEnergy Corp. and others for donations to help get the towers built, Brown said.
The layout of the course is complicated by the industries, bridges, canal locks and electric lines found in the canal's valley, he said.
Much of the land that would be needed is owned by the city of Akron, and it would have to be leased to the group. There are two privately owned parcels that would be involved, and the group already has a contract with one landowner and an oral agreement with the second.
Brown said it would take about a month to build the course, he said.
Two people would zip at a time, and there would be either two runs or four shorter runs. The first run might be 700 to 900 feet and the second run about 300 feet. Additional runs might be added later.
Brown said passengers would pay anywhere from $15 to $20 for an hour of riding. At the completion of the zip line, the passengers could walk up the hill and ride again.
It would take about six employees to manage and run the operation, he said. The association has hired a Georgia-based consulting firm, Signature Research, to look into the feasibility of establishing such a course in downtown Akron.
The group has been seriously looking into the idea since June, Brown said.
If the plan moves forward, it would be the second public zip-line attraction in Summit County. There is a small zip line at the Akron Fossils & Science Center in Copley Township.

Ok, I seriously got into strength training about a month ago and i have a question. I have no spotter and my chest is by far my weakest bodypart and i've been doing presses in the smith and then yesterday i went on a real bench and was shaky as all hell with half the weight. I was wondering what could i do with no spotter.. db presses? would i then have a more stable press after a good amount of time using db presses? and would it be just as effective as doing bb presses in a smith?
Do DB presses. I have no spotter either and that is what I do. The Smith machine takes all your stabilizing muscles out of play, that is why you were so shakey on the BB presses. Go with DB presses and do them intensely.
yup. Db presses are superior to smith bb's, at least in my opinion. db's work the stabilizing muscles bettter, and they're db's, so you get a fuller rang of motion
Couldn't have said it better myself.Originally posted by Accipiter

"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
Richard Dawkins
"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

OKLAHOMA CITY — Christian activists attempted Thursday to deliver a petition to Hobby Lobby criticizing its challenge to a portion of the new federal health care law, but guards at the company's headquarters turned them away.
"I thought they'd let me drop off the package," said the Rev. Lance Schmitz, pastor of the Capitol Hill Church of the Nazarene in Oklahoma City.
Schmitz said more than 80,000 people had signed copies of a petition circulated nationwide by Faithful America, an online Christian group, and UltraViolet, which promotes women's rights. Schmitz said he intends to mail the petition to the company.
Lawyers representing Hobby Lobby this month sued the federal government claiming it should not be forced to provide workers with health insurance that covers the morning-after and week-after pills. Some say the drug's ability to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in a woman's womb is tantamount to abortion.
Hobby Lobby operates 500 arts and crafts stores in 41 states. Its Christian owners allege in the lawsuit that providing coverage for certain medications violates their "deeply held religious beliefs."
An attorney for the company, Kyle Duncan, said the Green family, which owns Hobby Lobby, respects the religious convictions of others.
"All they are asking is for the government to give them the same respect by not forcing them to violate their religious beliefs," Duncan said.
But Schmitz and spokespersons for the Christian groups said the drugs are contraceptives and that women have a right to make their own medical decisions.
Michael Sharrard, spokesman for Faithful America, said a large part of his group's efforts "is to try to counter extremists" and that it represents the "mainstream majority."
"It's a woman's personal decision on what kind of birth control to use," said Cat Barr, campaign director for UltraViolet. "Hobby Lobby is out of touch with mainstream Americans."
The petitions accuse Hobby Lobby's owners of using their Christian faith as an excuse to obstruct health care reform and deny women access to birth control.
