By John Raby
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Approaching the end of his stellar career at West Virginia, Tavon Austin continues to find ways to impress his teammates.
Now he has a new fan in Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads.
After returning from a 51-23 win at Kansas, Rhoads started looking at the tape of West Virginia's 50-49 home loss to Oklahoma and quickly realized what Austin was up to.
"Soon after that, we vomited," Rhoads joked.
Running all over a Sooners defense that was set up to stop the pass made Oklahoma sick, too.
Used at the running back position for the first time this season, Austin amassed a school-record 344 rushing yards and Big 12 record 572 all-purpose yards Saturday.
With a shorter week to prepare before West Virginia (5-5, 2-5 Big 12) travels to play the Cyclones (6-5, 3-5) play on Friday, Rhoads is scrambling to come up with ways to slow down Austin.
"It's a pain in the rear end, especially with a six-day work week," Rhoads said. "Seven days are hard enough to prepare for the offenses that you face in this league, and then they start doing things different and you've got the unknown. You don't want to chase ghosts, but to a certain extent, you have to, especially when that player is as talented as he is."
The only thing to stop Austin against Oklahoma was time. West Virginia had the ball near midfield when the clock ran out. Austin came up 6 yards short of the Bowl Subdivision record set in 2000 by Utah State's Emmett White against New Mexico State.
"You don't do that against the University of Oklahoma and their personnel," Rhoads said. "You just don't do that. He's a very, very special player and now you've got to spend the time to make sure you're ready for it. You give your kids at least a chance to try to tackle him."
Scoring on runs of 4 and 74 yards, Austin became the first player in school history to have a touchdown receiving, rushing and on kick and punt returns in the same season.
The senior also had 82 yards receiving and 142 yards on kickoff returns against the Sooners.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Ten most memorable Super Bowl commercials ever!
What makes a memorable Super Bowl commercial?
Humor? Celebrities? Animals? Yes.
All these things can be found in Super Bowl ads from days gone by. And if you want to know what type of ads will air in this Sunday's game it might be helpful to review the ten ads below that for one reason or another have stood the test of time.
Ad from 1973 by Milwaukee based Master demonstrates a common sense cause and effect that Ron Swanson might love.
Budweiser ad commemorating 9/11 aired only once (2002)
Mean Joe Greene ad aired but did not debut during 1980 Super Bowl.
In 2010 this Snickers ad helped reboot Betty White's career
Even though it aired just once this ad for Apple's Macintosh computer may be the most memorable Super Bowl ad of all time.
Emotionally evocative ad featuring Eminem during 2011 game used Motor City boosterism to promote Chrysler.
This whimsical Google ad called Parisian Love from 2010 may not be one of the "best" but its short story type narrative arc pulls at the heart strings.
Step into the way back machine for ab ad featuring Brother Dominic for Xerox from 1977.
Where's the Beef? was on everyone's lips, including Walter Mondale's, after this 1984 ad for Wendy's from 1984.
The ad introducing the E*Trade Baby from 2008 remains the best of the series.

Love the Parisian Google ad and of course the e-trade baby- you're right about Betty White's career gaining a huge boost from the Snicker's ad- the shock value was great. The Master Lock ad doesn't do much for me- too old school I guess. The Detroit ad was really good too. Good choices Duane! Makes me look forward to the Super Bowl if ONLY for the commercials!

First off, I am participating in the #CanadianBloggerSeries, the brain child of Heidi Murphy, where each Tuesday someone writes about their part of Canada. I'm scheduled to write about Ontario on April 17, and I already have some fun ideas that I hope to be able to make work! Today's post is by Lisa from Smores N More, and she's also talking about Ontario! Please check her blog out and her post over on Heidi's blog, The Balance Project!
I sure used a lot of exclamation points in that paragraph. But I digress…
Today I want to talk more about Crossfit, and weight lifting in general. Over the last week I've talked to a lot of women that I know, and they seem to fall into 1 of 3 camps. The first believes that muscles are not feminine, that women shouldn't lift weights or have muscles, and are baffled that I'm striving for the 250lb deadlift or the 100lb clean and jerk. The second feels that muscles and strength are fine, as long as they aren't obvious muscles, and there isn't too much definition (ok, this sounds eerily similar to the first camp). And finally, the third group is where I fit in – where "strong is the new skinny", and we feel that having muscles is just fine. I'm not striving to be a body builder by any means, but the fact that I have wicked back and shoulder definition and I'm working on the elusive ab muscles positively thrills me.
Why all this negativity towards strong, capable women? Some of the ladies who fall into group 3 with me believe that the others in the first 2 groups are "jealous" and know they won't ever try to achieve the same sort of physical fitness we are striving for. I'm not sure that this is true, but I don't think that I have the answer, either. All I can do is tell these women why I do what I do, and hope that I can lead by example and change even one persons' mind!
I started Crossfit because I was interested in powerlifting. I had been introduced to Crossfit a few years ago by a (believe it or not) pole dancing instructor I had, but I never thought that I would be able to a) do any of the workouts I saw on the main site or b) be able to afford it. As I did more research, I found out that the Crossfit workouts can be scaled in order to make them appropriate for every ability level. I tested out 2 different boxes in my area, fell in love with the second and haven't left.
What I like about Crossfit, and lifting weights as well, is that I am pushed to my edge every time I step into the box or onto the platform. While I love running, I find that I'm more challenged with weights. I'm actually *good* at lifting weights. I'm not built to be a runner – as I've said before, I'm built to plow fields – and so I might as well use my body type to my advantage.
Lifting weights gives me confidence, and in the last few months I've seen weights and Crossfit give so many other women confidence, too. To be able to do something that you never thought you could do before, and do it well, is such an ego boost and it translates into every aspect of their lives. I just want every woman to feel the same kind of confidence I do, to feel good about themselves after every workout, to workout because they LOVE it and not because they *have* to in order to be skinny. Because, let's face it, a woman with a little bit of muscle (or a lot) is *hot*.
Please go check out Lisa and Heidi's blogs! And if you have any questions about Crossfit please feel free to ask!

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — I never heard of the International Joint Commission until I was a political science major 49 years ago. The United States and Canada, who share the largest unguarded border in the world, set representatives to work out border issues in 1909. Commissioners are in both countries. It seemed like a good idea.
Apparently it's been working, but I didn't hear from the IJC until about five years ago when they presented another water-level plan for Lake Ontario. It seems they've been trying to put together a plan that will satisfy everyone for 13 years.
Maybe it can't be done. The IJC has come up with several plans, but opponents claim that it's much the same, with a different name. Plan 2014 is much like the old 58B.
"It's complicated," said public relations officer Frank Bevacqua.
It's more complicated than the Peace Bridge. The IJC gave the go-ahead for a new twin span in 1997. The bridge from Buffalo to Fort Erie appeared to have had a simple solution 16 years ago, but remains tangled today. (Of note, the IJC approved the current Peace Bridge in 1925 and the bridge was completed in 1927.)
Lake levels may not seem to be as important as the Peace Bridge, but it's a vital issue for riparians. What's that, you say, riparian? I never heard the word until it popped up in the Wilson Town Board resolution damning Plan 2014. By definition, a riparian zone is the interface between land and a river. By resolution, it's the area along Lake Ontario where people have built their houses, raised their families, cared for their land and made their livelihood.
Folks along the southern shore have banked on the plan that was put in law more than 50 years ago. One has to feel for them, their counties and the taxpayers. Meanwhile, Canadians have better prepared and protected their northern shore. Applaud our neighbors' foresight.
Who do you boo? Big business wants higher highs to float their boats and sell more electricity for more profits. It's easy to boo big business.
Conservationists want to protect the environment. Can't blame them. Environment is where we live. So, the theory is, big business let's the green people stand on the front line and take the hits from the five counties.
For my part, I give the IJC credit for hearing all parties and I trust the commissioners to do the best they can. In the meantime, Mother Nature will have her say any day she wants and she has the natural power.
She's been around since before 1909.Contact reporter Bill Wolcott at 439-9222, ext. 6246.

This hose is very easy to use and it's great to haul up a ladder to clear a clogged downspout since it's much lighter than regular hoses. It winds easy on the hose reel and I like the way it feels.

- Kinks
- User unfriendly

This is the most user unfriendly hose I have ever owned. Almost impossible to coil by hand around the hose butler that I purchased with it as the hose constantly kinks and nearly ties itself in knots. Save your money and buy a less expensive hose at your local hardware store.
- Durable
- Easy To See Color
- Lightweight
- Hard To Pull Straight
- Twists A Lot
Best Uses
This IS lightweight and easy to see because of its lime green color but I have an awful time uncoiling it to lay straight! Have tried it with and without the water turned on. Keep having to twirl it around & around & around to be able to pull it straight without it twisting & coiling-up into multiple pretzel formations. Aggravating & time consuming! VERY disappointed!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Light Weight Flexible

We will be using this hose for the water hook up in our camper. My Husband loves the quality. The hose does not twist or kink. We purchased the 100' length. It is easy to roll up and store until ready to use.

One of my favorite things about fall is cooking with pumpkin. Pumpkin is one of those ingredients that really lends itself well to both sweet dishes and savory dishes.
In addition, pumpkin has a lot of healthy qualities. It's high in fiber and vitamin A, and it has some antioxidants. You can sneak pumpkin into several dishes, like macaroni and cheese, or this tortellini with pumpkin Alfredo sauce from Food Network Magazine, and get your family to eat a little healthier.
This Alfredo sauce is one of my favorites. The dish is easy to make, and the sauce is incredible. For those who might not like pumpkin, I recommend trying this anyway - the pumpkin is very light and you can hardly taste it. The freshly grated nutmeg also adds a nice warmth to the flavor. If you don't have tortellini on hand, you could make this with fettuccine.
To make this dish you'll need:
- Kosher salt
- 2 9-oz packages cheese tortellini
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 c. canned pure pumpkin (make sure it's pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie)
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 1/4 c. heavy cream
- 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- Freshly ground pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley, for topping (optional)
To start, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
While the tortellini cooks, heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until slightly soft (about 2 minutes). Add the pumpkin and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Next, stir in the cream and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the cheese and cook until thick, approximately 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tortellini to the skillet and toss with the sauce, adding some of the reserved cooking water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Serve in bowls and top with more cheese and parsley if you like. Enjoy!

A state police accident reconstruction team is investigating Wednesday's McNally Bridge crash between two trucks that injured three people, police said.
The crash closed part of Route 219 northbound for more than four hours on Wednesday while investigators processed the scene and other responders cleaned up the mess, Richland police Chief Michael Burgan said.
He said a tri-axle coal truck apparently caused the wreck by striking the rear of the box truck while both were heading north around 4 p.m.
The impact caused both occupants of the box truck to be thrown from the truck, which spilled its cargo of auto parts and other scrap.
A car transmission was among the debris scattered along the road, he said.
The occcupants, driver Kevin Disantis of DuBois and Gerald Bundy of Danville, Montour County, were transported to Memorial Medical Center with unknown injuries, Burgan said.
The coal truck's driver, Kenneth Dunn of Altoona, was also transported to Memorial.
Conemaugh Health System spokeswoman Amy Bradley said Bundy and Dunn were listed in serious condition as of Thursday afternoon. Disantis was listed in good condition.
Cambria 911 officials said Route 219 was closed for cleanup until shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday.
No charges were filed in the crash as of Thursday, Burgan said. Police are awaiting findings from the accident reconstruction team.

After a tough stretch earlier this season, where they lost three times in five weeks, people seemed to forget about the New Orleans Saints. Passed in the standings by the Falcons, the reigning Super Bowl champs were also passed over in a lot of people's minds as legit contenders to win the NFC. Teams like the Giants, Packers, Eagles, Bears and Falcons have all been labeled the conference's "it" team at different points, leaving the Saints on the fringe of the discussion.
Yet with five weeks left in the regular season, the Saints are 8-3 and in position to return to the postseason. Drew Brees has led the team to four consecutive wins, including a comeback victory at Dallas on Thanksgiving. New Orleans has scored 30 or more points in three straight games and the offense has looked a lot like the high-powered attack that helped the team capture the Lombardi Trophy a season ago. With winnable games upcoming against the Bengals and Rams, Brees and the Saints will be in position to capture the NFC South title and possibly home-field advantage in the playoffs heading into a tough stretch: at Baltimore, at Atlanta, vs. Tampa Bay.
While Brees' team is rising, so too is his MVP candidacy. He is tied for the league lead in touchdown passes with 23 and has survived without his top two running backs for much of the season. In the past two weeks he's thrown for 734 yards and seems to be heating up at just the right time for the Saints.
(Last week's ranking in parentheses)
1. Patriots QB Tom Brady (No. 1) — If Brady is the league's most valuable player, then Lions CB Alphonso Smith is the least valuable. In the second half of the Patriots-Lions game on Thanksgiving, Brady targeted Smith time-and-time again, resulting in a pair of long touchdowns to WR Deion Branch. The QB finished with 341 yards and four TDs, and afterward Smith said he "pretty much gave the Patriots the whole game."
2. Chargers QB Philip Rivers (No. 2) — Rivers has had his two least productive games of the season in the past two weeks, throwing for 233 and 185 yards. So is he slowing down? Not exactly. The Chargers have scored 35 and 36 points in those two games, and the offense has been effective. Rivers will need to keep it up with divisional home games vs. the Raiders and Chiefs the next two games.
3. Saints QB Drew Brees (No. 4) — Brees was named the 2010 'Sportsman of the Year' by Sports Illustrated, an honor that's well deserved for the Super Bowl MVP. Now in his fifth season in New Orleans, it's hard to think of a better free-agent signing in NFL history than the Saints' decision to ink Brees in the 2006 offseason. In his 74 regular-season games as the team's starter, Brees is 46-28 and has thrown 145 touchdown passes.
4. Eagles QB Michael Vick (No. 3) — The Eagles' loss to the Bears in Week 12 was their first defeat in a game that Vick started and finished. The QB also threw his first interception of the year, leading some to wonder if opponents had finally figured out a way to stop No. 7. Not so fast. Vick still managed to throw for 333 yards and two TDs playing against one of the few defenses that can match Philly's offense in terms of speed and athleticism. Expect a huge game from him this Thursday, when the historically-bad Texans secondary tries to slow down Vick and Co.
5. Falcons QB Matt Ryan (NR) — Ryan's stat line from Week 12 vs. Green Bay: 24-of-28, 197 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT. One of those incompletions was a drop by WR Michael Jenkins, another was a throw-away at the end of the game to prevent a sack. So Ryan basically made only two poor throws against one of the top teams in the league, improving his career record in the Georgia Dome to 19-1.
6. Falcons WR Roddy White (No. 6) — His teammate may have passed him on the Meter, but it's hard to say if Ryan would be on the Meter without White and vice versa. The receiver has been seeing more double-teams lately, and the team's running game has kicked into high gear, although he still finished with five catches for 49 yards against the Packers.
7. Packers OLB Clay Matthews (No. 7) — The current PFW cover boy is the favorite for Defensive Player of the Year, but a couple other candidates are gaining on him in that race. Still, 11½ sacks, three passes defensed and an interception return for a TD are pretty impressive through 12 weeks of the season.
8. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (NR) — Lost in the talk of Ryan's performance and the Falcons' big win was how well Rodgers played in defeat. The QB completed 26-of-35 passes for 344 yards and a TD while also running for 51 yards for another score. His fumble on Atlanta's 1-yard line was costly, however. The Packers' running game hasn't been very good in recent weeks (other than Rodgers' scrambling), meaning more pressure than ever is on the quarterback's right arm.
9. Colts QB Peyton Manning (No. 5) — Manning and the Colts are sliding fast, having lost three of their past four games, with Manning tossing nine interceptions in the three losses. He'll need to improve if Indy wants to extend their streak of playoff appearances. There are winnable games on the schedule, with matchups vs. the Cowboys, Raiders, Jaguars and two games against the reeling Titans remaining.
10. Ravens QB Joe Flacco (NR) — Defense will always be the side of the ball associated with Baltimore, but the offense is getting more recognition, however, as Flacco leads one of the league's most-balanced attacks. The Ravens can both run and throw, and Flacco has only thrown two interceptions in the past five games.
Five on the cusp (in alphabetical order) — Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman, Texans RB Arian Foster, Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Bears DE Julius Peppers, Jets QB Mark Sanchez.

The EPA has agreed to stronger safeguards for would-be human guinea pigs. On October 13 EPA published a draft revised rule for testing pesticides on people. Under a settlement with plaintiffs who had sued the agency, EPA agreed to propose amendments "consistent with language negotiated by the groups who challenged it."
Otter populations in the UK have made a remarkable comeback from the brink of extinction. According to the Guardian, their recovery is largely due to less polluted rivers resulting from UK bans on organochlorine pesticides (OCs) in the 1970s. Not only is the water safer for the otters, who are high up in the aquatic food chain, but also for their prey: fish populations have likewise recovered.
Last week, countries gathered in Japan hammered out a global agreement to hold corporations liable for genetically modified (GM) organism pollution of ecosystems.
According to the The Mainichi Daily News, a "biosafety protocol" was adopted to set "redress rules for damage caused to ecosystems by the movements of genetically modified crops."The move came at the end of the fifth meeting on the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, kicking off international talks on the Convention on Biological Diversity. The new rules, which bolster mechanisms to hold agricultural biotech corporations like Monsanto liable, will be opened for ratification next spring.
With national climate policy stalled in the Senate, hopes for policy progress rest on local, state and regional initiatives, like California's Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32). AB 32 is important because the state is looked to as a leading indicator of how progressive policy battles will play out, and because California's renewable energy economy is among the biggest.Adopted in 2006, AB 32 requires the state to come up with a plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. That plan is due to come into effect in 2011 and the oil and gas industry is on trying to stop it with Proposition 23, spending millions of dollars to a campaign to indefinitely delay climate policy passed by California voters.
On October 13, PAN joined 13,000 individuals and organizations from across the U.S. to send a letter to Lisa Jackson, head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calling for a complete ban on the pesticide chlorpyrifos and a phase out of other organophosphate (OP) pesticides.
It's been a decade since the pesticide chlorpyrifos was banned for home use because of the many hazards it poses to children, including a host of pervasive developmental and behavioral disorders, asthma, lung cancer, low birth weights, and more. Despite these and other known risks, hundreds of thousands of children in agricultural communities around the country still face regular exposure to this potent neurotoxin because it remains widely used in agricultural fields.

I think it's always important to introduce children to live entertainment. Too often too many of them have their heads buried in video games. Let them know there is actually a real live world out there. This is something parents should do.
Toward that end, let me tell you about a show coming to the Gordon Center, 3506 Gwynnbrook Avenue in Owings Mills, Sunday, Feb. 10 at 3 pm.
It is called Toon Tunes & Cartoon Capers featuring Baltimore actor Tim Marrone and Maestro Ed Polochick.
Both of these men perform an interactive story about a cartoon character, Mr. No. This Mr. No lacks self confidence and self esteem so the conductor, the orchestra and the audience try to find a way to coax Mr. No into the world of music.
Hopefully the influence of music will have the power to transform him into a strong, self assured person. This is made more difficult by an evil stagehand.
Prior to showtime patrons can participate in a musical 'Petting Zoo' featuring brass, percussion, string and woodwind instruments. The musicians will have the instruments available to explore and try.
Adult and senior ticket prices are $15, $8 for students and anyone under 10. For information call 410-625-3525.
The event is sponsored by the Peggy and Yale Gordon Trust.

I'm just thinking of covering an individuals travel expenses to accept a publicly placed challenge, not commit assault. If "LT X" doesn't want to fight, fine, but he's a ******.
It would be above board, videotaped for sure, and otherwise well documented. The gentleman I have in mind fought in several MMA bouts with a fantastic record, that is before the Special Forces taught him to storm buildings. He's about 5'10 and 230lbs without an ounce of fat on him, and he's the only friend of mine who I think could actually kick my ass.
I sure hope he thinks this is a good idea...

Wait a minute. At zenshin's website:
"Who we are: Carl Cestari, Shinan and Damian Ross, Sensei "
No mention of Pizzo, but both Ross and Cestari are purported to be at this address. So, did Ross and Pizzo rip off Cestari, or is there no Pizzo at all, as is asserted at other sites that claim he is a construct of Cestari and Ross together? Whatever the case is, this is more obfuscation by the Lt. X character. No mention of Pizzo at the site means there's little chance you'll get the challenge he's promised. More than likely, you'll find a police officer with a trespassing charge for asking to challenge Lt. X.
I think Lt. X should be broken with the same kind of ad campaign he uses to push his information. If someone really wants to kill off all of this crappling vids, crazy MA vids, and CQB ripoffs, we should compile a listing of all of them and advertise with the same campaigns on adshare systems that draw people to bullshido to view articles over their BS. My .02$ on how to combat it more effectively.

Kelly Richmond Pope, Contributor
Three weeks ago, I spent the entire day in Rockford, IL at the arraignment of Rita Crundwell, former city comptroller of Dixon, IL. If you are a fraud enthusiast like me, then you are very familiar with this case. If you are asking, 'Who is Rita?' let me give you a quick update. On April 17, 2012, Rita was arrested for the alleged $53 million fraud. According to FBI documents, Rita has been embezzling taxpayers heart earned money for over two decades. Unbelievable, you may be saying to yourself. But how rare is this actually? Think about it this way; Rita was just one of the many fraudsters that got caught. How many escape every year?
This was my first federal courtroom experience. I really did not know what to expect. The Rockford, IL courthouse looks like a small office building and this particular courtroom was tiny. There were only about 22 people that could fit inside the courtroom, ranging from journalists, Dixon residents, and interested parties like myself. Surprisingly, I did not notice any family members or 'Rita supporters'. I remember reading a blog post by a Forbes blogger, Walt Pavlo, about being a white-collar felon and not having any friends. As I sat in court and observed Rita, I was wondering if all of her friends abandoned her.
Like I said, this was my first arraignment attendance, and when the judge entered the courtroom and the bailiff said, "All rise", I felt anxious for some odd reason. I think I felt this way because I just could not understand this fraud. I mean, I have been studying fraud and white-collar crime for years, but never have I attended an arraignment hearing. Now I am not an attorney, but luckily Tom Golden (former PwC forensic accounting partner and nationally leading expert and author) attended the hearing and could answer most of my questions about the case.
Rita look terrified, and rightfully so. To my surprise, her attorney pleaded 'not guilty'. Now, possibly, this was a strategic legal move in order to give Rita more time to work out a plea deal, but the pre-trial motion is set for June 15, 2012 (and I will be in attendance). According to the prosecution, there are 11,000 written documents that must be reviewed by Rita's public defender—oh yes, all of Rita's assets are frozen and she is being represented by the Federal Defender Program which provides counsel to individuals who are charged with federal criminal offenses and cannot afford to hire counsel.
As I sat behind Rita, wearing a metallic raincoat, a grey sweater paired with navy slacks and her hair pulled back in a ponytail, I just could not help wondering 'what in the heck where you thinking?' How does one person who earns $80,000 steal $53 million over a 20-year period? How does one rationalize that? Do we not engage in fraud because we are scared of getting caught or truly because we believe in right from wrong. I just kept wondering what Rita could have possibly been thinking. At any point during the past 20 years, did she think she would get caught?
Additionally, what type of controls did the city of Dixon NOT have to allow a person to setup an account and steal this amount of money? Let's think about this one—do you honestly think that you could go and set up a bank account on behalf of your employer, call that bank branch, and routinely have money wired out of one account and into another? If your answer to this question is yes, there is a strong chance that you could be the next major fraudster in your town. If the answer is no, then there is a chance that your organization has sound internal controls.
Stay tuned for my June 15 posting.
What Rita has done will have serious ripple effects in the country's economy and governments.
First the economic loss to the community-not just the money that was stolen, but the loss of jobs she provided, the goods and services she bought and the traffic through the community to visit her farm that bought additional tax revenue in. (even though the city didn't receive it)
Second, the horses that will now be available on the market from her farms will drive down the prices even more in the halter and western pleasure bloodlines in this still unstable horse market. It will make this agricultural activity continue to be a losing proposition.
Third, the erosion of public opinion of government is continuing and this only amplifies the out cries of those like Occupy and the Tea Party. Not that they are not justified in their distrust, but it is the fault of all of us for not questioning our elected officials and those they employ.
What has occurred here is the result of years of conditioning of the public to be sheep and cattle to be led to slaughter. Conditioning by our schools, by the media, and our government, we are conditioned to simply accept what we are told and not to question the logic of it.
Could this have been prevented-maybe? But the volume and impact certainly could have been all but eliminated if we questioned those in power.
Kelly, I loved your article, I can't wait to follow you in court in June. I used to live near Rockford (grew up in Woodstock, Ill) and I used to ride at the Meri-j area about 33 years ago, I remember Jim McKillips, Rita's boyfriend and many of us are so curious as to how he plays into this and what he is doing. Can't believe that he isn't involved. However he comes from a very nice family and I have good memories of him and his sister Meri. I now live in Oklahoma and am following this very interesting story. thanks for your article. Very Good.
Did you write this in a hurry? There are at least four glaring errors in your prose.
Is there ever a court in which they have multiple bailiffs? I know that most courts usually only have one, but I'm curious if there are every any special cases in which they have more than one.

New Projects - Fresh from the Labs
If you're the kind of person who's been using Blackbox and its derivatives for the past decade, the kind of person who has just a single CD in a spotless but stylish car, the kind of person who likes minimalism but with effortless style, then boy, have I got a project for you. To quote the marave Web site:
Inspired by ommwriter and other similar projects, marave (it means "nothing" or "it doesn't matter" in guaraní) aims to be a simple, clean text editor that doesn't distract you from your writing.
You can have a nice background, or just a color. You can have a real-time spellchecker or not. Syntax highlighting or not. You can have background music, keyboard feedback or silence. marave will try to be the way you want it to be.
Project maintainer Roberto Alsina is hoping to integrate marave into most distros soon, but for now, the only packages available are for Arch Linux and Fedora. If you use another distro, your only option is the source, but that's okay, because installing the source is pretty easy.
In terms of requirements, the documentation says you need the following libraries:
GNU source-highlight (www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite).
Source-highlight-qt (srchiliteqt.sourceforge.net).
SIP, which should come with PyQt.
A C++ compiler.
Assuming you're going with the source, head to the Web site, grab the latest tarball, extract it, and open a terminal in the new folder.
If your distro uses sudo, enter:
$ sudo python setup.py install
If your distro doesn't use sudo, enter:
$ su (enter your password) # python setup.py install
Once that's done, run marave with the command:
$ marave-editor
The first thing you'll notice when you're inside is that the entire desktop has disappeared and you are in a single full-screen program. This is unabashed full-screen editing, designed to immerse you and cut out distractions. As if to reinforce this ethic, the few existing GUI elements on the side disappear until you move your mouse again, leaving you with only your text, a blinking cursor and a scroll bar.
But, enough of the straight minimalism. What really impresses me is the look of the thing. It's a sleek and undeniably gorgeous environment in which to work. An amusing touch for those who like a bit of flair (and have possibly been watching too many Hollywood movies) is a click noise for whenever you press the keyboard, adding a bit of romance to the otherwise dreary world of typing.
As for some of the other features, it's time we explore those GUI elements that usually are hidden away to the right of the scroll bar. The first button at the top allows you to change the font, as well as the color. The magnifying button has a submenu to zoom your text in and out, which is actually one of my favorite features of this program. The blank sheet of paper button has a menu with all the usual functions of loading, saving and so on.
Further down is an icon that looks like a camera. The left and right buttons switch between desktop backgrounds, including various snowy nature themes and what appears to be a Debian background. The color wheel at the right also allows you to adjust the background color and get rid of the background picture completely, if you so desire. The next button gives you amusing control over what sort of keyboard click noise you'd like (or whether to disable it). Next up, there's a music button that lets you play what I think is streaming music (as well as turn it off). I'd go into this more, but space and documentation are kind of lacking.
Second from the bottom is a button that looks kind of like a cricket bat, which appears to bump the text around, but I'm not sure I can elaborate much further on it. I found there are a number of GUI customization options to move around all of your working elements, such as the text area size and placement, but I also ran into some confusion (I deleted the config file to reset in the end, after getting myself into some UI trouble). And as I already mentioned, documentation still is lacking.
Something that really impressed me was marave's handling of foreign characters. A file of mine that had both Japanese and Greek characters mixed in with the Latin alphabet displayed without the slightest hiccup.
I can't help but feel that with a bit of modifying, marave also would make a brilliant ebook reader if it could handle files such as PDFs. Perhaps if in the short term, someone tacked on some code that would use a PDF-to-text converter, such as pdf2ascii, and then just piped the output to screen? An environment as cool as this one, with a full-screen interface, no intruding GUI elements and zooming text, easily would dissuade me from getting a commercial ebook device in favor of simply using marave on a basic Netbook.
What ultimately draws me to the project is that it doesn't just have minimalism and simplicity, it has minimalism and simplicity combined with beauty and a palpable design ethic. marave has soul, and I love that.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

What is Cacheopedia?
Cacheopedia is a wiki site to create an online encyclopedia / reference / survival guide for the sport of geocaching. It is a source for geocaching FAQs, articles, definitions, guides, and a whole lot more.
How did it start?
Cacheopedia got its start in May of 2005 when someone on the geocaching.com forums posted a warning to the community about the growing danger of methamphetamine labs being found more and more often in places that geocachers wanted to go. Someone suggested that there should be a place for geocachers can share such warnings and compare notes on ways to stay safe in the woods. While they were at it, they could share cache hunting stories, tips, hiding methods, etc. The idea for cacheopedia was born when someone suggested a geocaching wiki. The site was started that day.
Anyone can write an article here about any geocaching-related subject that they wish.
(You can also improve articles that others have written)

Tancredo Officially A Candidate in Colorado on a Third Party Ticket
by Charles Lemos, Thu Jul 29, 2010 at 11:00:20 PM EDT
Former Colorado Congressman Tommy Tancredo who has made a career running as a xenophobic nativist has officially entered the Colorado governor's race as the candidate of American Constitution Party. Twice a distant also ran for the GOP presidential nomination, Tancredo had issued an ultimatum last week to the two GOP contenders for GOP nomination, Dan Maes and Scott McInnis, that he would enter the race if they didn't announce that they would drop out after the August 10 primary if they won but still trailed Democrat John Hickenlooper in the polls. Both Maes and McInnis have been plagued by scandals.
More from KWGN-Denver.
The American Constitution Party was formed in 1991 and was originally called the Colorado Taxpayers Party, but changed its named to the American Constitution Party in 1995. The party is "pro-life, pro-states' rights, pro-Second Amendment" and for limited government, according to its website. It opposes illegal immigration and open borders. The party also believes that the American "republic is a nation governed by a constitution rooted in Biblical law."

Jacksonville Daily Progress
Following is a transcript containing most of the roughly 30-minute interview Jacksonville Daily Progress reporter conducted with Death Row inmate Richard Cobb March 6 at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, a facility that holds nearly 3,000 inmates.
There were a few additional minutes of interview after the tape recorder had reached capacity:
• Cobb related that he had been disciplined for somehow sneaking a cellular phone into his cell.
• Cobb said he was adopted and had just came into contact with his birth mother around the time his execution date was announced. At the time of the interview the birth mother had recently fallen out of contact with Cobb.
• Cobb initially canceled the interview but changed his mind before the reporter left the Death Row facility. He later told the reporter it was because he woke up in a bad mood.
• Cobb was skittish about discussing specifics about the case, so the reporter was forced to tip-toe around certain subjects and ask several generic "how are you doing?" questions.
TINSLEY: Okay. We're talking to Richard Cobb. He's here on Death Row and basically I wanted to, I guess, ask you first off, Richard, if you had, you've been in here ten years, correct? If you had anything you really want to say, anything up front on your mind. About the case, about life, about anything.
COBB: No, nothing. No nothing, especially.
TINSLEY: Ten years ago is a lot of appeals. I was wondering if you would mind walking me through what happened, from your perspective.
COBB: I'm not going to go into anything about the crime itself.
TINSLEY: I gotcha. Do you have any last appeals prepared?
COBB: No, not really. You know, we've shooting and trying, you know, to get. There's nothing, As far as formal appeals go, its exhausted. Just some kind of last-ditch thing at the last minute. What you're formally given is all exhausted.
TINSLEY: Well, just on a personal note, that's got to be rough on you, right?
COBB: Yeah, you know.
TINSLEY: I mean, is there some frustration there?
COBB: Yeah. There's plenty of frustration because there's so much you want to experience that you know you won't: Looking back you know I never really had a life and whenever I thought I did, that got taken way from me. There was a lot (unintelligible) but at the same time it will be somewhat of a relief because I wont be imprisoned anymore. No more captivity. Oppression. Oppressive atmosphere of a death row person.
TINSLEY: You're on 23-hour lockdown, right?
COBB: Yeah, yeah.
TINSLEY: Real tight cell and not a lot of reading matter?
COBB: Yeah, time to time, depending on the level of custody you know.
TINSLEY: I mean, what do you have in your room now? A Bible?
COBB: Little meager writing supplies and a radio.
TINSLEY: It get good reception?
COBB: Yeah. AM. FM.
TINSLEY: So you listen to a lot of oldies probably.
COBB: No, I listen to whatever is on around this area
TINSLEY: Do you read a lot of clips? Newspaper stuff?
COBB: You mean about myself?
TINSLEY: Or anything really.
COBB: I read whatever I can get my hands on.
TINSLEY: Is that a lot?
COBB: It varies, really. Whatever I can get, whatever publication I have, whatever people might send to me.
TINSLEY: Do you have a lot of people writing you?
COBB: Sort of. There has been a lot of mail since they gave me an execution date, but there's not been a lot on a regular basis.
TINSLEY: Do you write a lot of letters to anyone else?
COBB: Um, I'd say I write a fair amount of letters. Mail, you know. Gets rather tiring writing all the time.
TINSLEY: I can imagine.
TINSLEY: On your profile it says you were a laborer.
COBB: What profile is that?
TINSLEY: The one on TDC (website). "Laborer" is such a generic term. What were you doing specifically? What was your job?
COBB: Whatever. When I got arrested I was working for temporary service.
TINSLEY: Oh, you were a temp?
COBB: I went to different places doing like yard work. … No, not like going to factories, just places.
TINSLEY: Where were you from originally?
COBB: Well, I was from Jacksonville.
TINSLEY: Oh really?
COBB: Yeah.
TINSLEY: Did you go to Jacksonville High? Did you transfer or drop out?
COBB: Right before my sophomore year, I moved to Rusk.
TINSLEY: Not trying to get into the case but the guy you were convicted with, your co-defendant, or whatever you call him, was he your friend at some point?
COBB: I wouldn't say we were good friends but we were on an associate type level.
TINSLEY: Did you have any good friends?
COBB: Yeah, of course.
TINSLEY: Well, some people don't.
COBB: Probably average.
TINSLEY: So … you've gone the way of the bald man. Was that a personal choice or is it just easier to deal with in this kind of atmosphere you're in?
COBB: They don't give you haircuts on a regular basis. Easier to have my head regular clean. Quick and fast, you know?
TINSLEY: I understand. Now they tell me when I came in, they kind of described you as kind of a 'live wire?'
COBB: Who did that?
TINSLEY: One of the guards. I was wondering if you've had some adjustment problems over the years.
COBB: Yeah, this type of atmosphere is really repressive. So they still have qualms about (unintelligible)
TINSLEY: Sure. I guess that's a way to let off steam – to bang your head agains the wall? I notice you have a welt on your head.
COBB: (Laughs) No. No. That's a birthmark.
TINSLEY: I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I apologize, That's the problem when you're hairless like us … You know there was a story … and they mentioned your date was coming up pretty fast.
COBB: Yeah.
TINSLEY: And, you know it prompted some (questions)… except for through your appeals, people haven't heard from you or your side of things going on a decade now. I know your lawyer said, 'Don't talk about this, don't talk about this because of the appeals at risk,' but I was wonder if there was something about it you could talk about.
I'll give you an example: I've interviewed a lot of death row folks and they might say 'I apologize to the person but I hate their grandma.' Or 'I apologize to the grandma.' Is there anything along the lines of great or remorse?
COBB: Oh yeah, of course. There's plenty of remorse. The whole situation was, I was 18 at the time. I was very immature. I had a lot of teen angst so just looking back at the whole last year just filled with regret. My life is regret.
TINSLEY: You were on a dark path, you think? A rough path?
COBB: Yeah, but in reference to that situation and everyone involved. Everyone that was hurt. Everyone that was destroyed. What happened, worse. There is a bunch of remorse. I wish I could go back in time and it never would have happened.
TINSLEY: Change it all?
COBB: Yeah, just change it all. Of course.
TINSLEY: I didn't know a lot about the guy who died but they said he was challenged?
COBB: I believe so.
TINSLEY: I was just curious. I guess the women are still out there. The two women, is there anything you would want to say to them, individually or all three? Obviously you can't do that with the first one.
COBB: I mean, I, ah, just hope they've been able to heal. They've found some ability to heal. They're, I'm sure there's a lot of hatred directed toward me and my co-defendant.
TINSLEY: Anger.
COBB: Anger, you know. I just hope they have been able to do that a lot and it has been able to resolve itself over the years.
TINSLEY: Do you know if they will attend your (execution)?
COBB I think they have a right to, you know. I think that also will happen for the family of the victim.
TINSLEY: When your co-defendant went, how did you feel? Was that some sense of closure on your past?
COBB" Whenever he was executed? You know, for me it was rather sad, you know. To see another person being executed by the state sort of long term (unintelligible) effect just generating waves of violence.
TINSLEY: So its a cycle, You wish you could have gone back and ...
COBB: It's continuing violence. I know he had children who are fatherless now. Really fatherless for the past ten years but there is still a lot of hurt. A lot of victims came out of that.
TINSLEY: Let me ask you about: Is your family going to be there when you go?
COBB: I haven't made that decision yet. You mean, the execution?
TINSLEY: I'm trying not to say that word, but yeah.
COBB: Still deciding.
TINSLEY Have you thought about your last meal yet?
COBB: They don't deliver you a last meal. They stopped that.
TINSLEY: So what are you going to eat?
COBB: I don't know. I get the feeling I won't be thinking about food very much. … (unintelligible)
TINSLEY: It sounds like you've picked up on legal stuff, that you've been studying the law.
COBB: Not really. I know enough to know the different (unintelligible)
TINSLEY: Who is representing you? A court appointed attorney?
COBB: Yeah.
TINSLEY: At this point, you know, aside from the crime itself and the circumstances that brought you there are there any the regrets in the way of anything that might have led you down this path.
COBB: Of course. There' s plenty but there's this whole path of regret.
TINSLEY: Have you gravitated to religion in any way.
COBB: No, not really. Spiritualism. I think most of it is pretty unanswerable. I mean I guess I like to believe the spirit goes into some other realm or whatever, but I mean that's something I believe but don't dwell on a whole lot."
TINSLEY: I guess as the time nears, I mean, do you have something to accomplish in the next two months.
COBB: (Sighs) You know.
TINSLEY: You're still 28, right?
COBB: Yeah, 28. The youngest one over there right now. Now's not a good time. I'm the young guy and I'm going to be killed off. I accept it, you know what I mean, for what it is. There's not getting away from it, but at the same time like I say, I don't want to die but I'm ready to die.
TINSLEY: Before it happened, before you were connected, when you were 17 or 18, what did you think was ahead of you.
COBB: (Sighs again) I didn't' really have a toehold in life as far as that. I was frustrated being in and out of jail …
TINSLEY: You were in the military?
COBB: I was about to join the military but that got thrown to the wayside when I got convicted of several other felonies. (Unintelligible) better my lot in life. Lots of frustration you know, on that level.
TINSLEY: Along the way did you have any kids?
COBB: No. I made it halfway through high school.
TINSLEY: Oh, you were close.
COBB: Yeah.
TINSLEY: Do you feel like maybe things could have gone differently in your trial if you had different representation?
COBB: Yeah, yeah, I think a lot of things could have been done that weren't done. It could have rendered a different decision. There was so much said there that wasn't true.
TINSLEY: Like what?
COBB: Like certain witnesses that testified against me and fabricated. They said stuff that wasn't true. You know it was just kind of frustration. Why did they have to add to it and make a mockery of the system?
TINSLEY? Backlash? Making a dog pile?
COBB: Yeah, trying to validate everything and mention the way (unintelligible)
TINSLEY: You know, if you could go back and hang the outcome from guilty or change the crime you were convicted of, would you do that? Would you knock the charge down a rung or two to get a lesser charge if you could wave a magic wand at it?
COBB: What do you mean?
TINSLEY: Let's say you're back at the trials and instead of cap murder they convict you of something else, not on death row. A lesser charge.
COBB: Of course I would. Because first of all I don't endorse the charge of capital murder. (unintelligible) There are a lot of things that are negative here.
TINSLEY: I'm curious, That tat on your chest: What is it?
COBB: Oh, that's just my name.
TINSLEY. Oh, okay. Did you do it here?
COBB: No I did it when I was 13 years old.
TINSLEY: Tell me more about what you'e been doing. Penpalling?
COBB: Writing letters to mail.
TINSLEY: You're in your cell 23 hours a day?
COBB: I get the option of two hours five days a week and then two days, 24 hours in the cell with the option of a shower.
TINSLEY: You take the shower?
COBB: Yeah, yeah. I shower.
TINSLEY: Usually waking up sets the mood for the day. What happens when you wake up in your cell the way you do?
COBB: The first thing that goes thorough my head when I wake up?
TINSLEY: Usually its just ..
COBB: (INTERUPTS) "WOW! How great it is to wake up in the cold reality of this cell again!"
TINSLEY: Do you communicate with any of your fellow prisoners?
COBB: (Continuing from his previous statement) "Help! Yeah! Help! SOS!"
TINSLEY: Do you communicate with any fellow prisoners?
COBB: Yeah, cell to cell.
COBB: Yeah, I have made friends through the years. There's people in there who've been in twice as long as me.

The Madness Is Back: FUEL TV's 'Danny and the Dingo' to Premiere New Season Nov. 16
Oakley's Danny Kass, and O's infamous snow Aussie, the Dingo, are back. The dumbfounding duo have been living it up on camera for a couple of seasons – shredding, partyting it up and engaging in shenanigans of all shapes and sizes on FUEL TV's popular Danny and the Dingo show. And they're back for more. The new season is premiering this Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 10 p.m. Eastern/Pacific – on FUEL of course. And Danny will be making an appearance on the freshly revamped Daily Habit talk show right before the premiere.

Guest Commentary
The Daily Star
---- — The United States has a crazy quilt of healthcare systems and a patchwork of reformists' regulations, and statistics say they have been an expensive failure.
The World Health Organization rates our system 37th for quality. We spend far more per person for healthcare than any other nation. They just announced health costs are 17.9 percent of gross domestic product — and we have shorter life spans and higher infant mortality than most developed nations.
We have socialist healthcare systems for veterans and Native Americans (that is, government-run healthcare). We have a single-payer system for the disabled and the elderly (that is, government-run health insurance). We have 50 different menus of health financing for the very poor.
We have adversarial workers compensation systems for those hurt on the job. Many big employers run their own health insurance systems. Many others buy group plans from among the 1,500 insurance companies. Some individuals buy their own plans. We have some charity clinics, public-health agencies, and school nurses. We have FSAs, HRAs, discount cards, and tax deductions.
The healthcare we get varies dramatically as does "coverage." Each state regulates some aspects and the feds regulate others. And yet, as 2011 Census Bureau numbers show, 48.6 million Americans didn't have any health insurance. That's about one of six Americans.
Enter Obamacare, the misnamed Affordable Care Act. State and local governments are in a frenzy of making new rules and reforms. The signs so far this winter don't look promising.
In December my spouse and I received a check of $58 from our "insurer," United Healthcare/Oxford, because of a provision in Obamacare that limits how much insurers can keep for their overhead and profits. Not including co-pays and deductibles, we paid $4,700 to the insurer and my spouse's employer paid another $21,300. The "insurer" doesn't have any "in-network" specialists within 60 miles of my home. I guess we can use the $58 to eat out in NYC after we visit the doctor there.
This newspaper recently reported that our governor was crowing about our state's new regulatory agency's decision to limit health insurance increases to an average of "only" 9.5 percent in the "small group market" (individuals and most employers). That's more than 5 times the current rate of inflation (1.8 percent) and 2.4 times the national average increase in health care spending for 2011 (3.9 percent). In many states, rates aren't regulated at all, and they're getting socked even harder. In California, Anthem Blue Cross just announced that they are raising rates 26 percent this year.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 26 to 27 million people will still be uninsured in 2019 when Obamacare is supposedly fully implemented. That's roughly equal to everybody in New York and New Jersey combined.
Even before Obamacare is in full force, politicians are already eliminating some of its better provisions. Most Democrats, many Republicans, and the president decided to eliminate its long-term care coverage as a New Year's gift. In the same law, they gave $46.1 billion in handouts to corporations over 10 years. About a third of states are considering refusing to raise Medicaid coverage to 133 percent of the "poverty rate", which will disqualify them from Obamacare subsidies. Nine have already decided not to..
Some 100,000 Americans die each year from medical mistakes and infections acquired in the hospital. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that one out of 20 U.S. hospital patients will acquire a new infection while hospitalized.
I say it's time to retire the tattered old patchwork quilt and replace it with a new comforter. Maybe the VA system should be expanded from just soldiers to everybody. At the very least we should expand Medicare from the disabled and old — to all. Both systems have problems, but they are accountable to voters. Either option would provide cheaper and better healthcare, as other countries have demonstrated. Imagine the reduced paperwork. That would be good for both our physical and mental health both!

NORMAN — Firefighters battled a grass fire Sunday on Alameda Street, east of 60th Avenue Southeast, that consumed about 15 acres, said Norman Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey.
The fire did not reach any structures and no injuries were reported. The fire was called in shortly before 3 p.m. and it took crews several hours to control the blaze, Bailey said.
Four Norman fire stations responded and Slaughterville responded for mutual aid with two tankers. Crews also stayed on scene after the initial fire was under control to put out burning bales of hay, he said.
Norman also responded to a structure fire Sunday around 4 p.m. at 14316 Mesquite Road, near 142nd and Highway 9. When firefighters arrived on scene they found visible smoke coming from a trailer home.
Bailey said the fire burned just one room. No injuries were reported. Firefighters extinguished the fire in about an hour. Both fires remain under investigation, he said.
