Gov. Chris Christie came out swinging at the state legislature Tuesday during a town hall in Elmwood Park, criticizing its inaction on a slew of proposals that comprise his "Middle-Class Reform Agenda,"—namely tax cuts, ethics reform, ending sick leave payouts for government employees and closing property tax cap loopholes.
The New Jersey governor's hardline approach to pushing Democrats toward government and tax reform even extended beyond state borders when, during the event's question and answer portion, he suggested Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign might benefit from taking a more combative approach toward President Barack Obama's policies.
As governor, Christie said his top priority is to provide tax relief for families making up to $400,000, and flatly stated that Democratic legislators will "never" cut taxes unless forced to do so, likening their fiscal policies to the cons of the character Wimpy from the "Popeye" cartoons.
"Wimpy would always say 'I'd be happy to pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today,'" Christie said. "That's what the Democrats are like. 'I'd be happy to spend your money today and I'll give you a tax cut tomorrow.' Well, the spending happens and the tax cutting never comes."
Christie said that until New Jersey's Democratic legislators stop squeezing taxpayers for money, the state won't be able to compete with neighboring states where taxes are lower.
"How are we going to be competitive to create more jobs and keep people here if we continue to conduct ourselves in that way?" said Christie, whose plan purports to save $775 for the average New Jersey family. "We can't."
Christie also touted his support for ethics reform in government, which he called "long overdue."
"I proposed comprehensive ethics reform 742 days ago and at the time, Sen. [Stephen] Sweeney said, 'We're going to give the governor's package a thorough review and hearing because there's lots of good ideas in there.' Seven-hundred-and-forty-two days later, it has not gotten one hearing in the state legislature. Not one."
In particular, Christie attacked the practice of dual office holding and called for the end of dual employment for all state, county and local officials and employees.
He specifically cited Democratic State Senator Nicholas Sacco, who also serves as the mayor of North Bergen and as its assistant superintendent of schools, and is paid for all three, according to Christie.
"$309,000 a year for Senator Nick Sacco," Christie said, quipping, "Senator Sacco, Mayor Sacco, Assistant Superintendent Sacco—his business card must be this big to fit all those titles on there." The governor extended his arms wide to laughter and applause.
Christie also stumped for ending the practice of paying out cash to public employees for their unused sick days.
"People shouldn't be paid for not being sick," he said, noting that the accumulated sick leave and vacation payout liability of all municipalities statewide is $880 million. "I think that not being sick is the benefit of not being sick."
While he acknowledged that it would be unfair and illegal to strip the sick time from employees who have already accrued it, he said that going forward sick time should only be used to cover sick days.
He criticized Democrats' attempts to cap sick leave payouts, first at $15,000, and then at $7,500—proposals he vetoed.
"I propose zero means zero...you can accumulate as much sick leave as you want, and use it if you're sick," he said, adding that extra sick time could even be donated to a chronically or terminally ill co-worker. "But no more cash for the sick days...It's not a second taxpayer-funded retirement plan."
The final tenet of Christie's Middle-Class Reform Agenda calls for closing loopholes in the 2 percent property tax cap that he said some municipal mayors have tried to circumvent by charging residents user fees for garbage collection and other services that were previously included in the budget.
Christie said the bill he supports allows for user fees as long as they fit under the 2 percent cap. While the bill has passed in the Senate, Christie said it's been stalled in the Assembly because mayors have complained that it makes municipal spending too difficult to control.
He said that whether municipalities like it or not, staying below the tax cap and consolidating services across the state is a must. His proposal, endorsed by Senate President Sweeney, would require towns to enter mutually beneficial shared service agreements with neighboring communities or risk losing state aid.
"You can decide if you want to have one of everything, if that makes you feel better. But guess what," Christie said. "The folks in [other municipalities] shouldn't have to pay for it."
In closing, Christie called on constituents to hold the legislature's feet to the fire and pressure it to enact his Middle-Class Reform Agenda by the end of the year.
"There is nothing in here, in this agenda for the fall, that doesn't make sense," he said. "There's nothing radical in there, so we need to go fight for it."
During an extensive question and answer portion that lasted over an hour, Christie fielded questions on school funding, profligate board of education spending and the presidential election.
In response to a question about Mitt Romney's "failure to aggressively attack Obama's failed policies," Christie agreed that the Republican presidential nominee needed to make a stronger case to the American people, but said it was ultimately up to Romney to decide how to proceed.
"I've often said, you don't win a championship on points, you have to knock the champion down to the canvas," Christie said. "That's the way it works, I think, in politics, the same way it works most of the time in boxing."

Rising CEA after Surgery
Thank you for your time.
This is a difficult clinical scenario. As you know, we use CEA levels to point out that there could be recurrence of the cancer. It is certainly reassuring that your recent CT scans and nuclear studies have not identified a recurrence of your tumor. It would be important to ensure that there is no spread to your lungs, as isolated pulmonary metastases can be resected for cure. This is similar to your liver operation. I would encourage you to go ahead and seek a second opinion with an oncologist who specializes in this area.

Kansans who purchased a Skechers shoe claiming to shape and tone legs, may be getting their money back.
"I wasn't expecting to get any more toned just from these shoes. I thought that maybe, in addition to things I was doing on my own, it would help, but definitely not expecting miracles just from these shoes," said Ashley Abedini, who bought a pair of Skechers Shape-Up.
Derek Schmidt, Kansas Attorney General, announced Wednesday that his office filed a settlement with Skechers USA Inc. to resolve allegations over the company's Shape-Up athletic shoes.
The lawsuit alleges that Skechers claimed their rocker-bottom shoe products caused consumers to lose weight, burn calories, improve circulation, fight cellulite, and firm, tone or strengthen thigh, buttocks, and back muscles without having adequate support for its claims.
The multi-state settlement requires Skechers to allocate up to $40 million for consumer refunds nationwide. Forty-two other states also joined the settlement.
"Deceptive marketing practices and failure to substantiate advertising claims prevents consumers from making informed purchasing decisions," Schmidt said. "This settlement is a win for Kansas consumers."
Skechers did not admit any wrongdoing and denies the factual allegations asserted in the complaint.
Kansas consumers who purchased Shape-Ups, Tone-Ups, or the Skechers Resistance Runner should go to the Kansas Attorney General's Website for information about how to obtain a partial refund.
Consumers can also contact the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-432-2310 for more information.

Off-Campus Housing:
When we were searching for places to live much of what was available was way out of my budget. The housing in the area seems to be fairly nice but is hard to get and to pricey. Being in the mountains limits the options and the parking for some of the locations. Most of the off campus housing is conveniently located within walking distance to the main campus. However, for more variety looking outside of Montreat and Black Mountain provides more options and better pricing.
Off-Campus Housing:
there are several options nearby, if you go to black mountain there are even more and loads in asheville but thats 30min. away.
Off-Campus Housing:
Never Lived in – I do not know from personal experience but from what I have heard off campus is affordable but hard to get in due to lack of spots
Off-Campus Housing:
Montreat off-campus housing is limited to cottages that, although very beautiful and perfectly secluded, are kind of expensive. This isn't too bad an option if you like feeling like a hobbit or Snow White.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off-Campus Living – While many of the houses that students have to choose from are spacious and comfortable, I believe some have the disadvantage of their age, being susceptible to mold. Also, the school's rules as to off-campus living are too strict. The age requirement of 21 sometimes hampers the ability to find good roommates to live off-campus with. I think sophomores and up should be allowed to live off-campus.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Imari Scarbrough
Living on campus is pricey (and the rules are somewhat strict), so many students opt to move off campus for personal and financial freedom. There are a few apartments near the school from which to choose as well as summer cottages that the owners rent for the school year. When you have at least one roommate (to split the costs), ask around early enough so all the options aren't snatched up. Many of the rental options are literally minutes from campus, only slightly increasing your time to get to classes. The prices range anywhere from $450 to $975, depending on whether it's an apartment or cottage, furnished or unfurnished, how many rooms it has, and other factors. Shopping around early enough has its advantages, as many options around $550 plus utilities open up.
Most students live on campus for the added "community," ease of going to classes and group studying, or because they don't meet the requirements to move off campus. To live off campus, students must either be 21, live with their parents or guardian, or are married. If students do choose to move off campus, most find housemates to lessen individual costs. This also gives them an added sense of freedom, as they don't have to adhere to the College's strict smoking, alcohol consumption, and visitation policies, and they can host movie nights without disturbing residence hall neighbors. For those worried about losing the sense of residence hall "community," off-campus students often visit on-campus students to maintain friendships, study, and work on group projects. Off-campus students are also encouraged to attend campus events, including outdoor movie nights, sheet mazes, coffeehouses, dances, and more.

BREMERTON, Wash. -- Firefighters in Bremerton are investigating a fatal house fire Sunday morning.
It happened just before 5 a.m. in the 6600 block of NE Wellsly Place. When crews arrived at the scene, the home was completely engulfed in flames.
"You heard windows kind of pop then all of a sudden you see flames come out from everywhere," said Jess West, a neighbor who called 911.
Three adults and four children, including a friend who was sleeping over, made it out safely.
"They actually crawled on their hands and knees through a garage," said Shawn Kreifels, whose ex-wife and daughter escaped the burning home.
A man in his 30s, a family friend, was found dead in the living room.
"His best friend was trying to wake him up and he wasn't able to," said Kreifels.
According to Kriefels, The family's St. Bernard "Chevy" also died in the fire, trying to wake the victim up by barking.
Despite a devastating loss, Kriefels knows this tragedy could have been worse.
"I can't help but shake my head and look at my daughter and give her a hug and realize how close it was to having a different result," he said.
While investigators search for a cause, the family believes the fire started in the basement. With the home now unlivable, the Red Cross is assisting the family with housing. The organization is also paying for a family member who is currently overseas on duty in Japan to fly home to be with his family.
"I hope I pray for the best for them it's going to be a hard time," said West.

Kindergarten through grade five Anoka-Hennepin's elementary school program is based on the belief that all children are valuable and unique individuals, and that children learn best when the home, school and community work together. Teachers use many different strategies to teach reading and writing, including phonics. This approach, known as "balanced literacy," is based on the most current research on how children learn.
The goal is that all students read independently and well by the end of third grade. Elementary math, science and social studies instruction provide students with knowledge to understand and explore the world around them. Students learn and apply mathematics every day, and math and science curriculum make extensive use of hands-on activities. Specialists teach art, music, physical education and media. Anoka-Hennepin currently has five specialty schools at the elementary level. Use the links below to visit each school's website or click here to visit our enrollment page.

An internationally renowned urologic surgeon at Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California (USC) has performed the first robotic-assisted procedure in California using the latest, minimally invasive surgical system. The prostate cancer surgery further cements the Los Angeles-based university hospitals' position as a global center of excellence for robotic surgery.
Larissa V. Rodríguez, M.D., a noted expert in female pelvic medicine with more than 15 years of clinical and research experience in urology, has joined the University of Southern California (USC) Institute of Urology, part of Keck Medicine of USC.
With concerns about the effectiveness of prostate cancer diagnosis still in question, newly published research led by Keck School of Medicine scientists reveals clues that could lead to more precise understanding of the disease and ultimately may lead to fewer false diagnoses of the disease.
On Monday, Dec. 9, the Keck Medicine of USC – Downtown Los Angeles clinic officially opened its doors in a new location with more services designed to make medical care more convenient for patients living and working downtown.
Dubbed the "'Stash Dash," the 4th Annual LA Prostate Cancer 5K was held to raise money to help turn the page on the fight against prostate cancer.
Showing that the reputation of the Keck School of Medicine of USC is well regarded in the national medical community, three top doctors in their fields have been recruited for prestigious chairmanships at other institutions.

Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
I belong to an excellent list serv called the "Tech Lady Mafia." One of its members, Shawna Hein, 28, a user experience designer from Berkeley, recently expressed annoyance on the list at the widespread use of the word "girls" to describe women long past elementary school age.
"I first started thinking about it when Girl With A Dragon Tattoo came out," says Hein by phone. "It's a whole action series where the main character is a bad ass, and yet she's called a girl. You never see an action hero with boy in his name."
It's hard to imagine Robert Downey Jr. signing up to play "Iron Boy."
Hein, who went to Oberlin with Lena Dunham, says she was equally perplexed by her former classmate using the diminutive term Girls for her successful TV show, and troubled that a series of dinners for women in technology in the Bay area was entitled, "Girl Geek Dinners."
"Every time I see the word 'Girl' used in scenarios that are supposed to empower women, it really grates on me," she says. "When I saw the launch of 'Girls Who Code,' I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was actually aimed at youngsters."
My own take on the use of "girl" and "boy": If you're not talking about a child or a love interest, these terms are best avoided.
Hein is far from the only person thinking about the language people should be using to describe women (and the terms women are using to self-describe). Ann Friedman had a terrific piece in the New Republic on the reclamation of the term "lady."
But now, "lady" splits the difference between the infantilizing "girl" and the stuffy, Census-bureau cold "woman." (Both still have their place—just not in the witty conversation that young feminists want to be having.) It's a way to stylishly signal your gender-awareness, without the stone-faced trappings of the second-wave. It's a casual synonym for "woman," a female counterpart to "guy," commonly used in winking conversation between one in-the-know woman and another. A scan of my phone reveals dozens of text messages that begin, "hey lady." General David Petraeus's paramour, Paula Broadwell, reportedly concluded an e-mail to a friend, "GREAT to see you, pretty lady"—a more grown-up way of signing off "xo."
If your head hurts every time you have to think about how to generically refer to a person based on the presence or absence of the Y chromosome, you're in luck. For those not immersed in the study of gender semantics, Hein has created a handy guide for which term to use when. Enjoy, um, folks:

I prefer the term "womenfolk", pretty much perfect in any context, especially professional.
I feel like this might be blown a bit out of proportion. As a male I'm not going to make any claims about how women in general may feel about the term "girl", but from my experience among my female friends and acquaintances, I have found that none of them really give any thought to the term "girl" being used to describe them, and in fact do it themselves quite frequently. It is also worth mentioning that the term "boy" being used to describe a male or a group of males, while used less than its female equivalent, is still hardly uncommon, probably more so among females than males. I personally don't mind term and think nothing of it.
What I do have a problem with is Ms. Hein's holier-than-thou stance toward other women groups because they use a term which she disagrees with. It makes her look petty and demeaning to these other groups or movements and adds an element of censorship to boot. I don't believe she is aiding any cause by doing that.
Very relieved to see that female(s) didn't make an appearance anywhere in there. That one always makes me cringe.
I like to say "ladies," but I'm also pretty creepy.
They's all buffaloes to Moe.
I love that chart. hilarious. But it got me thinking. This is an interesting piece, mostly because Shawna Hein is a User Experience Designer. I'll explain…
While I agree with several points and that political implications persist when we choose to refer to full grown women as "girls," it seems that one important point was not discussed–the power of "catchy" and the role that marketing plays in this mix.
Let's face it, the one syllable descriptor is catchy. No, we would never name "Iron Man", "Iron Boy" because it's not catchy and it doesn't evoke the strength associated with the word "Man." And the popular show (that I admittedly love and watch weekly), "Girls" isn't called "Women" because it is neither catchy, nor accurate. I think the show explores that awkward time between being a girl and finding womanhood. So, in that case it's accurate.
Overall, I get it. I agree that we (all of us, personally and across industries) often misuse the word, "girls" and could/should be more thoughtful.
But, marketing (aka an industry that often caters to the "user experience" in prose form) has a lot to do with word choice. So, I suspect that "girls" will trump "women" as long as alliteration and catchy are in charge.
I get what you're saying about what's "catchy" or not – but when talking about the show "Girls," I would argue – why pick a name that means a group of women at all? I'm definitely not arguing that calling the show "Women" would work in the marketing department – we all know that "women" sounds heavy and odd to a lot of people. But they certainly could have chosen a name for a show that didn't have the word "Girls" at all, or imply that women in their mid to late twenties were still "Girls."
Also, just a side-note, I'm definitely *not* in marketing :) I have a computer science background and make sure products are usable, through testing and prototyping, but I wouldn't say that I'm an expert in how to make sure things sell. That's a whole different ball-game. :)
My late grandmothers (born in 1906 and 1916 respectively) regularly used the term "guys" to refer to more than one person regardless of gender.
The chart is hilarious…thanks for the morning chuckle, although I won't tell you how many times I had to click "Zoom" so that my 47-year old eyes could read it!
When I was in my 20s, I definitely took offense when anyone called a grown woman "girl". As I have grown more confident in myself and my personal/ professional accomplishments, it seems to matter not so much anymore who is called what. The older and wiser I get, the more I know that there are WAY bigger fish to fry and huge issues that we must tackle. Competent and passionate people are what's important, not what you call them.
Of course, I can call my "girlfriends" any of these terms, even the "B" word at times, with no offense. That's just the way it is in subgroups.
If you're still in a bind, my friend Jim has a great alternative to all of the suggestions. "Estrogen Americans" will either get you a huge bout of laughter or a slap across the face. ;)

If you enjoy history there's a display at Boys Town that will stick in your mind.
It's a stamp collection commemorating great people in black history at the Boys Town Visitor Center at 137th Street and West Dodge Road. These are stamps licked and posted on the first day of being issued by the U.S. Postal Service.
The famous names range from athletes like Jessie Owens to historical figures such as Omaha native Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass. "We do this every year, but yes it's a little unique to have the stamps and all the people in history that are African-American," says Boys Town's Mary Huard.
The display is in the same room as the world's largest ball of stamps, more than four million of them from all over the world.

The election cycle seems never-ending and in some respects it is. Today is the day after the crescendo of more than 18 months of rhetoric, hand shaking, name-calling, debate, anticipation and finally a day (or in the case of states with early voting) weeks of voting.
Regardless of who you supported or voted for, the day after a election can be a huge let down. It's like the moments after running a race. Even if you win, you're exhausted. It's not the time you consider how to better run the next marathon. It's the time you catch your breath or lick your wounds.
Like the end of a marathon race, it's the day all involved are a little winded.
For candidates it's a chance to catch their breath.
For the winners and their staffs it's a day to let the adrenaline rush subside a little and to begin moving out of the intense mode of literally "running" a campaign to regrouping for the huge job ahead.
For the unsuccessful candidate and their staffs it's also a chance to catch their breath and reassess what's next.
For voters it's a day to readjust to commercials that hype products instead of rip other humans beings to shreds. It's a day for celebrations or lamentations, depending on your perspective on the winners and losers
Pundits and social networking make those emotions harder to process. It's harder to catch one's breath as the screaming and scheming continue non-stop on air and on line.
Watching the pundits on the morning "new" shows this "morning after" it struck me that for many embattled pundits it's like the end of a bruising fight. The brawl is over but one of the combatants insists on screaming "oh yeah-and another thing... and another thing!"
It works both ways as victors play the role with words and postings that are akin to a brawler taunting his victm with "and stay down... don't.. you.. even.. think.. of getting up off the floor! I kicked your tail, so stay down there on the ground like the sniveling dog you are." (even if the results show a pretty evenly matched fight).
No, today is not the day to be too triumphant or too despondent. I would suggest that this is the day to let the adrenaline rush of the past day or week or month (or even months) subside.
Once everyone's head clears and the blinding sunlight of election night victory or the despair-inducing black clouds of defeat pass we will still be faced with the problems. Problems themselves are oblivious to politics.
Locally an emptystore front is still an empty storefront. Nationally, America's enemies are still America's enemies. The $16trillion debt is still the $16trillion national debt.
Those things would have been here today regardless of who won any election at any level.
My suggestion: For today let the adrenaline drain a little. Turn off the cable screamfests. Resist the temptation to call the holder of an opposing political viewpoint by a nasty name. If you need a couple of days to catch your breath-take them.
After a bruising campaign season, we must force ourselves to get out of fight mode. Don't bait those you disagree with on politics. Don't take any bait that is offered. The election results are what they are-whether your candidate won or lost.
Now we need to work on solving the problems using the hand the voters have dealt us. Politicans at every level need to find common ground and start from there... with an eye toward agreements, not disagreements. That goes for the White House, Congress, State Houses and Municipal Buildings.
It's been said that politics is the art of compromise. We have spent billions of dollars and most of the past two years working against that notion. We must now demand it of our politicians and encourage it amongst ourselves. That's a 180 degree turn in thinking and acting. It's a drastic change but maybe the forces of nature can help this time around.
We are looking down the barrel of a potentially significant snow storm. Grab a shovel and help a neighbor even if they had a yard sign that made your blood boil.
For the next six months at least let's focus on the things we agree on.
The next congressional and state house races start to gear up by Labor Day 2013 for the 2014 races. Members of Congress need to raise thousands of dollars a day to defend their seats. That work is already underway this week.
America has voted for virtually no change in the balance of power in Washington, so there's no need to wait until the next Congress is seated to get to work. For today, or even the rest of the week perhaps, just take a breather.
After that let's push our elected officials and ourselves to seek common ground as we work on solving problems.
The window of opportunity is short. Let's not waste it.
For political adrenaline junkies, just give it a try. Take some hot chocolate over to the people who live in a house with that lawn sign that so annoys you.
You can do it. The call to campaign battle stations will be sounded soon enough.

Am I dreaming? Cable TV without Fox? New Year's Round-Up! Yeee haaaa!
So it's been a few days since my last post, and seeing how even a few hours away from my refreshing voice seems to cause catastrophic damage to the community, I felt I should see the new year out with a bang.
Well, wait, not a bang. That's not a good simile. Metaphor. Onomotopeapod. After all, what prompted me to this week's edition of Roasted Nuts was, actually, fireworks.
My family was supposed to have gone to Disney World this week, a trip that had to be rescheduled at the last minute. And shortly before canceling the trip I was reviewing the TSA 3 ounce fluid protocol with the "exception" for baby formula and milk. I managed to fixate on the TSA's failure to comprehend the humor in stating the following: "Mothers are now permitted to bring breast milk in quantities greater than 3 ounces as long as it's declared for inspection at the security checkpoint." (http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/children/formula.shtm).
As I was musing over the specifics of enforcement procedures and suspect profiling, I realized that because of the Christmas events this past week, practically every carry-on policy will be changing soon. And I had more important things to think about. Like what the heck to call this guy who tried to bring down the NWA flight on christmas day. The best I've heard to date, thanks to Rachel Maddow, was the 'Christmas Underwear Bomber'. Others now refer to him as the "Christmas Bomber", but I prefer going in the other direction. How about, the "Undabomber"? (The Tidy-Whitey-Terrorist? The Fruit of the Loom Fuse-Lighter? the BVD Bomber?**) But as catchy as that sounds, I'm not sure it'll pick up. And it's disappointing, too. But people have already diverted their attention from catchy names for terrorists to playing the "Republican Double Standard" game. You know, like when President Bush says "Heck of a job, Brownie", it's good; but Janet Napolitano's comment about post-attempt response, "the system worked", isn't. Tom Ridge chastised the President for potentially considering giving criminal rights to the Undabomber, But no one in the Bush administration had qualms about their successful criminal prosecution of the Shoe Bomber, Richard Reid. The criminal system worked for Bush to try Reid, but not for Obama to try the Undabomber? (How about Wedgie Warrior?) It's hypocrisy, pure and simple. The sad fact is that things are going to get tighter at airports again, and body scans are going to become commonplace. Invasion or not, if that's all that works, that's all that works. What won't work is restricting bathroom or overhead access during the last hour of a flight, as has been suggested. Major League Baseball stopped selling beers after the 7th inning, but people still get drunk. Once someone's in the plane, that's the end of it. It needs to be stopped on the ground. And technology is one way to do it. Sharing terrorist information appropriately seems to be another, which the CIA, FBI and Dept of Homeland Security apparently must ponder again.
Unfortunately, it's proof that people like the Undabomber still exist. Damn. You know, Undabomber..I just don't know if it works. It sounds ok to say, but not on print. Where did our good terrorist nicknames go? I mean, the media is great at stoking the fires of paranoia. Great american criminals deserve great american nicknames. It's a proud heritage. In the last decade alone we've got the Shoe Bomber, the American Taliban, Unabomber, 'Scarface' Al Capone, 'Bugsy' Siegel,
How about the Nigerian Nincompoop?
Let's see what else is happening in the world. Hmm., it just came out today that AT&T dropped Tiger Woods. Why should he be any different? From what I understand, AT&T drops thousands of iPhone users every day.
Here's a funny one: the possibility of cable TV free without Fox! Don't get me wrong, I think Time Warner could be a little better on the rates, but does Fox really think it will win this scenario? TWC could shut out Fox and its affiliates and leave them scrambling to replace viewers. TWC doesn't need to pay an extra $1 per subscriber to have them on the air, and I don't personally feel like paying $1 to save Fox from its subscription service demise. Am I willing to risk the loss of NFL? Could TWC be shooting itself in the foot by saying "buh bye" to viewers? Yes to both. But guess what--except for that $50 box I had to buy earlier this year, I have a TV, and it's free. And I still have TWC RoadRunner, which means I can still download or stream all the programs I want. In the meantime, all will be restored to its righteous place in the universe, and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will ascend their thrones as the righteous heirs of cable news commentary.
Merry New Year!

Each year, Wisconsin Lutheran College is required to report all criminal activity to the government. The government also requires that the college make these statistics available to the student body.
Wisconsin Lutheran College retains crime statistics for the past seven years. If you have any additional questions about campus crime statistics, please contact the Vice President of Student Affairs at 414.443.8853 or the Student Affairs Office at 414.443.8852. Click to view Clery Act crime definitions.
*All addresses in Milwaukee/Wauwatosa, WI 53226
#Public Safety automatically notified by fire detection system if checked "Yes"
Any student found to have committed or to have attempted to commit the following misconduct is subject to the disciplinary sanctions outlined in the Sanctions section of the Student Handbook.
6. Setting or fueling a fire or causing smoke. Note: Campus firepit located to the east of Stimac Hall may be reserved 24 hours in advance through the Director of Residence Life and use of the firepit in the manner in which it was intended shall not violate this policy.8. Intentionally initiating or causing any false reports of an emergency.9. Intentionally or recklessly damaging or misusing fire safety equipment.10. Intentionally or recklessly tampering with any residence hall/campus security system. This includes, but is not limited to, altering or propping open any locked exit doors and propping open any exterior windows other than those in student rooms.31. No candles, incense, or plug-in air fresheners are allowed in any student residence.32. Halogen lamps (light bulbs) are prohibited everywhere.56. College policy and state fire regulations prohibit storing anything in corridors or on resident floors. This includes shoes. Students are expected to maintain clean, neat, and orderly common areas and are subject to fines for leaving trash in these areas. Items left in corridors will be removed.
Smoking & Tobacco: Each person has the right to choose whether or not to use tobacco products. While the choice NOT to use these products is the healthiest one, WLC recognizes the individual's rights to use tobacco in a manner which complies with the College's regulations. It is the responsibility of the College to ensure a healthy living environment for all students, staff, and faculty. In view of health issues associated with this, WLC DOES NOT ALLOW the use of tobacco products including, but not limited to, chewing tobacco products, hookahs, or other such smoking paraphernalia, inside or near any of the buildings, or on residence hall patios. Smoking paraphernalia is not allowed on WLC property at any time. Individuals who choose to use tobacco products should:
● Do so outside.
● Be conscious and considerate of where your smoke is traveling.
● Refrain from smoking within 20 feet of main campus walkways, doorways, open windows, etc… (20 feet is 10 reasonable steps).
● Be responsible for the litter created by tobacco use. WLC DOES NOT ALLOW the use of tobacco products within 20 feet of any campus building or on residence hall patios.
In the event of a fire, the College expects that all campus community members will evacuate by the nearest exit and activate the fire alarm system (if it has yet to be activated) as they leave. Once safely outside a building, it is appropriate to contact 911 and Public Safety. Placards showing evacuation routes are posted throughout the campus. In the event fire alarms sound, College policy is that all occupants must evacuate from the building.
Fire safety education programs for all students living in on-campus student housing and all employees that have any association with on-campus student housing are held at the floor/building meeting at the beginning of each semester. These programs are designed to: familiarize everyone with the fire safety system in each housing facility, train everyone on the procedures to be followed in case there is a fire and to make all aware of the posted evacuation routes. Each student is made aware at that meeting of the college's policies regarding fire safety. Each student room has a placard posted that illustrates evacuation routes. During these programs, trainers emphasize that participating in fire drills is mandatory. Students with disabilities are accommodated according to the requirements of their disability.
Fire safety education is provided to student and professional staff with responsibilities in student housing and is taught by local fire authorities as well as the director of Residence Life who is experienced in fire safety matters.
If a fire occurs, students are instructed to immediately leave hazardous areas per the evacuation routes and get to a predetermined location before calling 911 for help. They are to remain in that location so that Residence Life staff has the opportunity to document that the student has left the building.
The information provided during the fire safety programs is also available from the office of Residence Life at any time.
Per federal law, Wisconsin Lutheran College is required to annually disclose statistical data on all fires that occur in on-campus student housing facilities. Listed below are the non-emergency numbers to call to report fires that have already been extinguished in on-campus student housing. These are fires for which you are unsure whether the Wisconsin Lutheran College Public Safety Office and office of Residence Life may already be aware.
If you find evidence of such a fire or if you hear about such a fire, please contact one of the following:Public Safety 414.443.8500
Office of Housing and Residence Life 414.443.8857When calling, please provide as much information as possible about the location, date, time and cause of the fire.

How was the game-play, Leanna? Smooth, or was it choppy at any points?
gameplay is smooth even though the large amount of 3d geometry in the monitor.
On 3gs and ipad works fine for me, tested also on my iphone4 and ipad2 is incredibly smooth.
I dont think in 90s pc games you can run this kind amount of polygons.
here a 90s pc game.
Even so, even in '99 PC games didn't look this good. This looks more like 2002-ish console graphics, but still that's nothing special for iOS now that we're becoming used to games like Dead Space, Infinity Blade, etc., that look better than some games on modern consoles...
1990, 2002, PC, console, this and that.
Stop trying to analyze the screen shots and play the game.
Good luck trying to find anything like it in the store ;)
mmm... may you are not a graphic designer or a programmer...isnt it? eheh
I'm more interested in whether this is a good game or not than how good the graphics are, which tbh don't look like anything special.
i heard about iphone 5 is Comming on Next Month, And Ios 5 Released.

I want to know is this false or True news.

How to Use Twitter to Change Careers
Used strategically, this online tool can help you land a job in a new industry.
Whether you want a more lifestyle-friendly career or a job that offers a bigger paycheck, transitioning to a new field can be a daunting task. It requires making new contacts, acquiring new knowledge, and maybe even gaining new skills.
That's where social-networking site Twitter comes in. Because Twitter allows you to showcase your expertise and connect with people you want to know—compared with Facebook, where we tend to connect with people we already know—it can help you gain the momentum you need to change careers. Or, if you're a new graduate entering the workforce for the first time, the site can help you build credibility in the field where you want to work.
"[Twitter] is one of the most powerful tools for anyone who's changing careers," says Miriam Salpeter, job-search coach and author of Social Networking for Career Success. (She also blogs for U.S. News.) People often think job-searching on Twitter means learning about openings through their feed, Salpeter says, but positioning yourself as an expert in your field is a far more effective strategy.
[See How to Position Yourself to Change Careers.]
Berrak Sarikaya, 26, used Twitter to move from an administrative and communications position at a petrochemical trade association to an internship at a large public-relations firm. After losing her job at the trade association last June, the Washington, D.C., resident tapped her Twitter network of 2,300 followers to land freelance and pro-bono projects, where she built upon her digital marketing skills.
"It was through the network I created and the brand I created and the connections that really helped me jump into the field that I wanted to be in versus the field I was in at the time," says Sarikaya, who goes by @dc_pq on Twitter.
Here are some ideas for how to use Twitter to work your way into a new career:
Use your real name as your handle. Whether it's your first and last name, or one or the other, using your name as your handle gives you a jump start on personal branding. When it comes to moving Twitter connections offline, your contacts will recognize you based on your name alone, which eliminates that middle step of recognizing your handle and then remembering your name. Plenty of Twitter users, including Sarikaya, build brands around non-name handles, but the easiest way to gain visibility is to go by your name.
[See 14 Secrets to Career Change Success.]
Know what you want. Job seekers often make the mistake of diving into a search before assessing their needs and desires. What kind of job do you want? What transferable skills do you have that will help you reach that goal? Once you've got that down, you'll be far more effective with any online campaign.
Build your knowledge base first. Have at least a general understanding of the field you want to enter before following industry experts on Twitter, because they won't follow you back unless you offer useful information, says Alison Doyle, job-search expert for About.com. Then "use Twitter as a vehicle to promote those qualifications," she says.
Use your bio to your advantage. "[Job seekers should] make sure their bio is about their future and not about their past," says Salpeter. This is your chance to position yourself and showcase your strengths. Include keywords that resonate with people who work and hire in your target industry. Along those same lines, tweet about where you're going more than where you came from.
Showcase your expertise through your tweets. Provide links to valuable information, insight into related events, referrals to experts, tips for doing the job well—anything that shows, in a helpful not boastful way, that you know what you're talking about. When it comes to proving your understanding of your industry, Twitter can be more useful than a resume.
Follow industry leaders. Identify the top players in your industry and follow them for insight. Occasionally respond to or re-tweet their tweets to give them the chance to notice you; if they follow you back, you've opened the door for a direct message, or private communication. But keep in mind that networking etiquette exists on Twitter just like in person, Salpeter says. Don't immediately tweet at a new contact asking for favors, just like "you wouldn't walk up to a stranger on the street and ask for a job," she says. "The same nuances apply online."

Mick Jagger Turns 65
But he gets too much satisfaction from working to retire.
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger reached retirement age on Saturday. But the deep grooves lining his face don't mean he can't groove. This aging but still gyrating rocker's last tour with the Stones in 2007 grossed close to $558 million.
Sir Mick is now eligible for a U.K. pension of just under 91 pounds a week, Reuters reports. But, like many of the aging boomers who flock to his shows, Jagger is eschewing retirement because he gets more satisfaction from working. The Rolling Stones and Universal Music Group have signed a long-term recording agreement that includes rights to future albums, Universal announced Friday. The deal also covers iconic anthems like "Brown Sugar," "Angie," and "It's Only Rock 'N Roll," and a "long-term campaign to reposition the Rolling Stones's entire catalogue for the digital age."
Grandpa Jagger also displayed his energetic strutting and pouting in the Martin Scorsese (who is also 65) 2008 rock documentary, Shine a Light. But he will have to wait another five years for free roof insulation, according to Reuters. That benefit is available only to Brits over age 70.

I focus on the tax issues of individuals, businesses & more
I always like it when I can unreservedly cheer a taxpayer win. The Tax Court decision in favor of David and Carla Stewart makes me feel that way. There are certain tax provisions that I clearly see a need for, but nonetheless have an adverse emotional reaction to. Taxing people on cancellation of indebtedness (COI) is one of those provisions. Some commenter will probably explain why we need it and why it is fair, but I still don't like it. It often seems like kicking people when they are down. The principle is that if you borrow money and it is determined that you do not have to pay it back, you have taxable income at the point of that determination. Various types of financial institutions are required to send people 1099s when debt is discharged. The 1099 serves as an educational tool to apprise you of your obligation to report COI income. The 1099 also rats you out to the IRS.
David Stewart defaulted on a credit card obligation to MBNA some time between October 22, 1994, when the debt was incurred, and September 6, 1996, when MBNA wrote the obligation off. At some point between September 12, 1996 and December 28, 2007 NCO Portfolio Management acquired the defaulted account from MBNA. On December 28, 2007, Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC (PRA) acquired the account from NCO.
PRA, an LLC, is a subsidiary of Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. , whose motto or mission statement or whatever is "We are giving debt collection a good name." According to its 10-K, it has, over 15 years, acquired receivables with a face value of $64.6 billion for $2.1 billion. The company is number 63 on Forbes list of America's best small companies.
Whether PRA's course of action with respect to David Stewart is helping give debt collection a good name is a matter of judgment:
PRA was aware that a State statute of limitations period with respect to collection on petitioner's defaulted account expired in February 2001. It appears from the record that PRA attempted to revive the defaulted account in an attempt to coerce petitioner, using automated mailing and automated telephone calls, to make voluntary payments to PRA despite over a decade of nonpayment and an expired limitations period.
If you google PRA, you will find many complaints about this type of activity along with advertisements from attorneys who will help you get them to stop. In some cases, it appears to not be that hard. Mr. Stewart sent them a letter, which they received on April 14, 2008. They then ceased collection activity. Subsequently they issued Form 1099-C to Mr. Stewart in the amount of $8,570.71 for the year 2008. I'm reasonably certain that they were not being vindictive, but rather just trying to be in compliance with reporting requirements. Mr. Stewart might have felt differently about the matter.
The Stewarts did not include the $8,570.71 as income on their joint return. The IRS issued a deficiency notice showing additional tax of $2,139. The Stewarts appealed to Tax Court. They disputed the amount of the COI income and asserted that whatever discharge there was did not take place in 2008. The Tax Court agreed with them on the latter point making dispute about the amount irrelevant. The discussion of when the discharge might have taken place is a little tedious:
We have acknowledged that it is often impossible to find only one event that clearly establishes the moment at which a debt is discharged, such as pinpointing the moment when property has been abandoned. Instead, there can be a series of identifiable events, any one of which could reasonably indicate that a debt has been discharged.
Even the expiration of the statute of limitations is not necessarily determinative. There is a 36 month testing period after the last payment. Regardless, the Tax Court, although it did not specify an exact date of discharge, concluded that it was a long time before 2008. I should note that if debt is discharged in a year in which you are insolvent, COI is taxable only to the extent that it makes you solvent.
Practice Tip
As the experience of the Stewarts shows you should not take a 1099-C at face value and just report the income and pay the tax with no reflection. On the other hand, most tax preparers will tell you not to ignore it either. Most of us would report the income and then put in a negative adjustment for the same amount. It is possible that the Stewarts did that and still got picked up. I have to wonder why the IRS was so aggresive in this case. The debt was ancient history when PRA picked it up.
You can follow me on twitter @peterreillycpa.
While I don't have the details of the case, I wonder if the IRS will attempt to now pursue PRA for improperly recording the cancellation of debt as a loss on their books? Was there a whipsaw argument on behalf of the commissioner?
My thoughts exactly, Paul. And by the way, Portfolio tried this stunt with me recently, and this is exactly what I wrote back to them. Portfolio is undoubtedly taking an enormous loss on their books for debt that they never owned and which they bought for pennies on the dollar.
About PRA — hardly.
"Under Federal Debt Collection Consumer Laws, You Can STOP Portfolio Recovery Associates' CALLS and Make Portfolio PAY YOU and It Won't Cost You A Penny!"
Karma's a bee-otch.
No. Even without the reporting requirement of a 1099C, every taxpayer has an affirmative duty to report forgiven debt. The balance to this requirement o on the heavily indebted taxpayer is to offset the income that results from forgiveness by filing file another IRS form (cannot remember its #) that explains the taxpayers insolvency and inability to pay the forgiven debt. I think one can readily see the justice in these two separate filings.
On the other hand I strongly disagree with anyone who says filings like this are "kicking someone who is down" This is not justice in an ordered society, it is mere sympathy. I, for one, resent payment of other people's taxes. I think it is unfair to me to play by the rules and another person to blow off the rules. Worse yet, to turn it all around and blame a lender who was good enough to give them a loan in the first place is perverted. (I make no distinction between the original creditor and the many assignees who stand in the shoes of the original creditor, because the debtor got the windfall and they collectively got the loss to one degree or another)
You said that you didn't know the IRS was so aggressive in the Stewart's case – the reason is that they stand to collect many thousands of dollars in additional tax revenue.
In 2010, I received two 1099-C from Portfolio Recovery Associates for debts that I defaulted on in 1996. I recognize that ignorance of the law is not a defense but I had no idea what a 1099-C was in 1996. If I had, I would have claimed this income on my taxes and gone through the process of claiming insolvency. But I didn't so now I am dealing with this nearly 15 years later. By claiming that I had a tax event in 2010, I am effectively being stripped of remedies that would have been available to me in 1996 but are likely unavailable to me now – namely the ability to prove insolvency just before the discharge of the debt. Of course, the IRS takes a different stand on these issues – they presume that the date of discharge and the amount reported on the 1099-C is valid and that the taxpayer owes taxes. And what recourse does the taxpayer have? They can appeal to the IRS (where they are unlikely to prevail) or take it before the Tax Court Like the Stewarts did.
No, the IRS will not pursue PRA because it did not break the law.
I respectfully disagree that the debt is mostly interest. Under the terms and conditions of every cardholder agreement on usage, the borrower must repay last month's accrued interest and 3% of principal. Geo. Bush signed a law increasing the required monthly principal reduction to 3% minimum. Each month the borrower pays 100% of all interest in arrears on the principal balance plus 3% of principal. Every major bank charges off the debt after 180 days of failure to make the minimum payment due. This means that if a $8,000 balance credit card had initial minimum monthly payments of $200-250, depending on rate. This would have added $1500 in interest charges to the debt over that 180 days, plus 6 late fees of about $35 each for 6 months ($210). Hardly the majority of the debt. If you look at most of these collection cases, the debt is not increased by post charge off interest. While interest does accrue for years on an unpaid balance as a matter of contract law, it becomes impractical to collect. PRA and others like PRA choose for business reasons not to pursue the accrued interest.

Oil Spill Curriculum National Conservation Training Center U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service USFWS Birds, Habitat, & People: Recovering from the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill The Shorebird Sister Schools Program presents an activity that explores the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill on coastal birds and the work of many dedicated professionals helping in species recovery, with a focus on career development. To learn more about the Shorebird Sister Schools Program (SSSP) visit: http://www.fws.gov/sssp. Goal Through studying a bird threatened by the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill, students gain an understanding of the diverse job duties of people that work on refuges to conserve habitat for birds and other wildlife. Grade: 9-12 Time: 3 class periods using the materials included with the activity. Skills: cooperative work, reading comprehension, communication, discussion, organizing, Subjects: science, language arts, social studies, geography Objectives: Students will be able to— 1. Identify the threats to five bird species due to the Gulf oil spill. 2. Discuss the professional work and careers of people assisting in oil spill recovery. 3. Create a flow chart illustrating the oil spill's impacts on birds and wildlife habitat and the people working on the recovery effort. Correlation to National Standards: See Standards chart. Vocabulary: See activity definitions list. Materials – Class Period 1 1. Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill and Southeast Louisiana NWR Complex maps & overheads. 2. Bird species profiles 3. Birds and Oil Student Worksheet #1 4. Overhead or electronic copy of student worksheet. 5. Background readings (Activity Background Information, Effects of Oil on Wildlife and Habitat, Breton NWR, Species factsheets) Method - Class Period 1 1. Before class, read the activity background information. Begin the class with an overview of the oil spill asking the class these questions to stimulate discussion. • Why are oil companies drilling in the Gulf of Mexico? How is oil used in our society? • What happened to the Deepwater Horizon platform? • Why are people worried about the spill? • What happens to the animals that became covered with oil? • What happens when the oil reaches the coast? • What is the process of biomagnification of pollutants? • What is the responsibility of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Fill in student knowledge gaps with information from the background article. 2 2. Explain that students will explore the affects of the oil spill on wildlife and habitat at the Southeast Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex (NWR) and will learn about the refuge staff working on spill recovery. Pass out copies of Oil Spill Map and NWR Complex Map. With a partner, have students identify the locations of the 8 refuges within the SE Louisiana NWR complex on the Oil Spill Map. If you are short on time, you could also do this as a whole class activity. Ask students to circle or highlight Breton and Delta National Wildlife Refuges. These are the 2 refuges of the complex most affected by the oil spill. 3. Divide the class into 5 groups and assign each group a bird species. Give each group factsheets of their species, Effect of Oil on Species and Habitat, and Breton National Wildlife Refuge. Each group should read the factsheets and answer the questions on the Birds and Oil Student Worksheet for their species. If time is short, allow students in their groups, to divide up finding the answers to the first 3 columns. The last column should be filled out through discussion among group members by analyzing what they have learned about how their bird lives (answers in first 3 columns), to determine how it is threatened by the oil spill (4th column). 4. Bring students back together and have groups report back. As a class, fill in the Birds and Oil Student Worksheet chart, recording answers on the overhead. Have all students fill in the chart as the information is reported. Materials – Class Period 2 1. Career profiles 2. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Careers List 3. Oil Spill Response Factsheet 4. Student Careers Worksheet #2 5. Birds and Oil Student Worksheet #1 (from part 1 of this activity) Method – Class Period 2 1. Briefly review the activity and discussion from the previous day. Explain that in part 2, students will learn about the people employed at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Southeast Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex. They are working to protect and recover the habitat and wildlife after the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill. 2. Students should return to their groups. Hand out the career profiles, one to each student (repeats are OK). Each student should read the career profile. Then, in their groups, students should fill out the Careers Student Worksheet. If there is sufficient time or as homework, have student's research other types of jobs that are involved in the oil spill cleanup. This could include researching other organizations and agencies such as the Coast Guard, NOAA, National Park Service, and Environmental Protection Agency. A great website to begin research is http://www.restorethegulf.gov/fish-wildlife. 3. With the entire class, discuss the variety of careers presented. Pass out the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service List of Careers. Give students a minute to read through the variety of careers. Now ask if they learned something new about any jobs present at the refuge or on the list. If anyone is interested in learning more about a particular career, discuss how they could research that position. (Find out where the closest wildlife refuge is located. Interested students can volunteer to work at the refuge visitor center or join the refuge friends group. Many refuges have a few paid summer job opportunities for high school students. 3 4. Close the activity by having students to pull out their Birds and Oil Student Worksheet #1 from part 1 of the activity. Ask them to individually fill out the last column of the chart drawing on information from the career profiles and class discussion. Materials – Class Period 3 1. Poster board or newsprint, and markers 2. Student Worksheets #1 Assessment – Class Period 3 1. Using the information the students have gathered from the two previous class periods, have students, in groups or as a class, create a flow chart following one of the sample models included with this activity. Give them a minimum number of impacts, actions, and careers to put under each category. The flow chart must include a title and a discussion. Post the class project in class or on a school bulletin board. 2. Afterwards meet with students individually, asking them to explain their flow chart. 3. Assess students on their group participation in working with the chart. Extension (Or homework activity) Using the information in the chart and the factsheets 'Effects of Oil on Wildlife and Habitat,' and 'Birds, Habitat, & People: Recovering from the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Coast Oil Spill Background.' ask each student to draw a Gulf Coast food web and compose a paragraph summarizing the affects the oil spill on the web. How Can You Help Conserve Fish & Wildlife Visit a refuge, park, or other natural area near you. Many public lands are open free-of-charge. Consider asking for a birdwatching tour. • If you live near the coast, volunteer for a beach clean-up. • Volunteer for a beach or stream restoration project in your area. • Join a local club, such as scouting or 4 H, which supports natural resource conservation. 4

have been reduced to possession of fireworks, according to court documents.
Mudge, of Easton and Taunton, appeared in Wrentham District Court on Friday, Aug. 10 and saw his eight counts possession of a destructive or incendiary device reduced to eight counts possession of fireworks, according to court documents.
At Mudge's arraignment hearing on July 16, attorney Nancy Winn claimed police "may have overreacted out of caution" when they arrested her client on eight counts possession of a destructive or incendiary device because those devices were fireworks, according to The Sun Chronicle.
The Foxborough Police report filed by sergeant Scott Austin on July 14 referred to the explosives found in Mudge's possession as eight "M-80-type fireworks." That report contradicted detective Thomas Kirrane's report of "homemade explosives," one of which would have caused significant damage if it had exploded.
"[The Massachusetts State Police] said the large device, the M-1000, would have killed all of us in the room had it gone off and taken probably a quarter of the hotel out,"
Police reports describe the larger device as being "three inches round by five inches long."
Despite the conflicting reports of what type of devices Mudge was in possession of at during his July 13 arrest on two warrants, Foxborough Police Chief Edward O'Leary said he believed those charges were "appropriate."
"[Foxborough Police] Detective [Thomas] Kirrane conferred with the bomb squad with regard to those devices and they were the ones that suggested very strongly, given the nature of [the devices], [those charges] would be appropriate for what he was charged for," O'Leary said. "As to the breakdown of what may have been considered fireworks … they are all illegal in Massachusetts and the combination of the items together at a hotel further raise the risk."
However, during Mudge's Aug. 10 hearing, the court disagreed with Foxborough Police and reduced the charges to reflect possession of fireworks and not destructive or incendiary devices, according to court documents.
Mudge is also being charged with possession of a Class B drug (Methadone) and warrants for daytime breaking and entering charges in Easton and Raynham and .
Mudge was held on $500 cash bail and his next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 28.
