Are latest tornado outbreaks a sign of a new pattern?
Before the possible showers this weekend I wanted to write about the wild weather of Sunday and Monday across New England. Of course the F-2 tornado which hit Revere, Massachusetts was the big story making national news and certainly the talk of many in the Boston area. Here in Maine the National Weather Service said a small tornado hit the town of Limington on Monday afternoon. The tornado was an […]CONTINUE READING

Possible tornado in southern Maine highlights a day of severe weather
Wild weather from southern to northern New England on Monday brought a rash of severe-thunderstorm warnings, at least one confirmed tornado, and damage to trees and buildings in several towns. Here in southern Maine, a storm that moved through Hollis, Standish and Limington caused quite a bit of tree damage. This storm did have rotation on the radar, and a tornado warning was issued as it moved through the area. […]Continue Reading

Showers back in the forecast through Monday, then more sunshine
Out latest stretch of nice weather is coming to an end, but a full day of rain isn't in the cards. There are two major mechanisms that will be bringing our rainfall the next days. The first, today, is a warm front moving steadily northward. This front is going to usher in more humid air and a lot of cloudiness. The showers will be fairly numerous during the middle part […]Continue Reading

Nearly perfect weather into Saturday, then some showers
What's a perfect 10 when it comes to the weather? Everyone is going to have a slightly different opinion, but I'm going to say the weather the next two days is a 10. While there might be some increase in clouds late Saturday, overall the today and tomorrow's weather is going to be ideal. High pressure stays in control during this period, there will be low levels of humidity and […]Continue Reading

Thunderstorms heading for Portland and the coast.
Here's a quick update to the weather this evening concerning the thunderstorms. As of 7:00 PM the line was racing towards the coast and will be pushing through Portland in the next couple of hours. The severe thunderstorm watch is still posted for the southern/eastern side of Maine until 10PM, but will likely be dropped before then. This map shows in pink where the watch is posted. Remember, by the […]Continue Reading

Another humid day tomorrow with storms likely during the evening
Most of us have heard the saying that timing is everything in life. From getting that choice job to picking the best week for vacation timing has a lot to do with it all. So this evening after another fine summer day, though more humid, I am focused on the timing of a cold front for tomorrow. So far this summer has been one of frequent breaks in the heat […]Continue Reading

Great vacation weather this week, with minor interruptions
This certainly hasn't been a July like last year. July 2013 was a very hot month. The temperature last July averaged 2.5 degrees above normal, making it one of warmer months on record. In Providence, Rhode Island and Hartford, Connecticut a year ago, July would turn out the hottest month ever recorded. This year is very different. I'll give you some statistics for Portland, but you can assume they are […]Continue Reading

More torrential rain in the forecast
The good news is I don't see the weather being as severe as yesterday. The bad news, we don't really improve with the weather until tomorrow. Yesterday a line of severe storms pushed through Maine, with the town of York sustaining the heaviest damage. So far we don't have any confirmed reports of tornadoes, but there were reports of funnel clouds. The winds that caused so much tree damage in […]Continue Reading

Football isn't called the beautiful game for nothing and Wednesday night's fixture against the Japanese U-23s justified its colloquial reference.
Dominated in possession and shots for the most part of the game, the resilience and never-say-die attitude we showed throughout the game in defense came through in attack, equalizing in the 94th minute thanks to a composed finish from Dakota Lucas.
Inheriting the underdog status going into the game, we had talked about being dogged in defense, knowing that the longer we kept Japan scoreless, the more frustrated they would become.
Throughout the first half we were predictably under the pump, but stubborn defending from our backline along with some fine saves from keeper Jake Gleeson ensured the score line remained 0-0 going into half time.
With a small tactical change in the second, we found ourselves on the ball more frequently as the combinations throughout the team began to find its straps.
Nonetheless, Japan had all of the chances, in the second half and after hitting the bar twice they got what the 35,000 strong crowd felt was just rewards by scoring in the 71st minute.
However, just as Japan thought the result was theirs, Kosta Barbarouses picked up the ball 35m from goal and ran at the Japanese defense in one final attempt to salvage a result. He slipped Marco Rojas who stepped over the ball, which left a wide-open Lucas to pick his spot and calmly slot the ball into the bottom left hand corner of the goal.
No matter what the possession, shots on goal or time in opposition half stats say, being able to leave the stadium on level terms with a late smash and grab goal vindicates why they call football beautiful.
We know we have a lot to learn and a lot to do in terms of where we want to be by the time we play Belarus on August 26th but there were many positives also.
With the team only being together 2 days prior to the game, training twice, missing a couple of key players and playing a new formation, to get a result like that is extremely encouraging.
We will take it in our stride, learn from our mistakes and look to move forward in our next game against South Korea U-23s on Saturday (July 14).

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) spoke at the National FOP convention in Cincinnati Monday. He largely focused on the importance of collective bargaining. Click below to hear his remarks.
The Cincinnati Charter Committee has been around since the 1920's. But its role has changed over the years. WVXU Political Reporter Howard Wilkinson explains how it got started and evolved.
Economic Impact
An estimated 3,000 police officers from as far away as Ireland, are in Cincinnati for a convention that begins Monday and continues through Friday. The Convention and Visitors Bureau puts the economic impact at $4.5 million and contracted hotel room nights of more than 15,000 in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Miami University's newest canine officer is part of the security team for Monday's visit by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
Miami's first police dog, Ero, retired earlier this year. His replacement is a 1-1/2 year old Belgian Malinois named Figo. He and handler, Officer Keith Hibbard are hard at work today helping local and national authorities with the Secretary's appearance at the Fraternal Order of Police National Convention.
This is not your parents' Charter Committee.
Not the staid old political organization, that, back in the 1920's, threw out the corrupt political bosses and instituted Cincinnati's charter form of government. And who have, through the decades, sat back and scolded Democratic and Republican council members alike for going beyond their role of setting policy and interfering with the professional administrators of the city.
Some people have felt in recent years that Charter lacked relevance, pushed to the back burner of city politics.

Usually in this Traveling Plate column, Patch highlights a whole meal and asks readers to guess where it was served. However, this pie was so stellar that it can stand on its own. Plus just showing dessert makes it harder to guess correctly.
I can say that this Newtown restaurant is one of my favorites for lunch and that I had never ordered dessert until last week. Now I will look at the dessert menu first and plan my entree accordingly.
The decadent pie had a delicious crispy chocolate crust with a creamy filling flavored with a hint of hazelnuts. The caramel drizzle added just the right note of sweetness.
Any guesses? l'll confirm the answer on Sunday.

RALEIGH — After presiding over the first three trials of "Moral Monday" protesters, the judge who heard the cases left a mixed message.
Judge Joy Hamilton, a former Wake County district judge who was appointed by the state to preside over some 920 cases, found the first protester guilty on Oct. 4 of all three charges – second-degree trespass, failure to disperse and violating N.C. Legislative Building rules. Saladin Muhammad of Rocky Mount has appealed his case to Wake County Superior Court.
On Friday, with different defense attorneys making arguments, Hamilton dismissed the same charges against Douglass Ryder, 66, and Vicki Ryder, 71, the Durham-based husband and wife among the dozens arrested on May 6.
Hamilton did not offer her grounds for dismissing the charges at the Friday hearing, leaving a legal quandary for the assistant district attorney assigned to prosecute the hundreds of cases yet to be heard and the defense attorneys whose clients have not had their day in court.
Daryl Atkinson, a staff attorney with the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, represents a protester who was arrested during the May 13 demonstration and has not been to trial yet. After observing Friday's hearing, he said he was glad to see the judge weigh the cases based on the evidence and arguments from that day.
"Each client and each case is going to be judged on their individual merits," Atkinson said.
The Ryders, who were tried together on Friday, each took the stand and elaborated on why they were part of the demonstration in early May.
Douglass Ryder, a Vietnam veteran who moved to North Carolina almost two years ago with his wife, said he joined the demonstrators May 6 because he was concerned about new policies and laws adopted by the Republican-led General Assembly.
"I just have a long list of concerns about veterans issues," Ryder, a member of Veterans for Peace, told the judge.
Among them were the cuts to unemployment benefits and Medicaid and the negative impact they would have on veterans fighting homelessness, suicidal thoughts, traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress.
"I went to bring voice to the voiceless," Ryder said, batting back the prosecution's assertions that he went inside the Legislative Building that Monday evening with the intention of being arrested.
Vicki Ryder, a grandmother, also disputed contentions that she went to the demonstration with a goal of being arrested. Her list of concerns was as long as her husband's. Among them were her worries that new laws and policies would restrict access "to the voting booth," to health care, to public schools and loosen environmental protections.
"My intent was absolutely not to be arrested," Vicki Ryder testified. "I went to petition my legislators. I went to exercise my right of free speech."
The May 6 demonstration was one in which demonstrators gathered late in the afternoon along the Bicentennial Mall across the street from the Legislative Building. They made speeches, hoisted signs and walked slowly into the building where neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives had started their sessions.
Scott Holmes, the Durham-based attorney who worked with Hillsborough attorney David Neal on the defense of the Ryders, made a multipronged argument for dismissal of all charges.
Jeff Weaver, chief of the General Assembly police force that made the arrests, testified Friday that he did not consider any of the protesters inside the building to be violent. Many of the demonstrators, who refused to leave on his order to disperse, prayed and sang.
Weaver, Holmes pointed out, even let one demonstrator finish his prayer before being arrested and then gave him what the attorney described as "a man hug."
Holmes also pointed out that many other people who remained in the Legislative Building after the chief gave his warnings on a bullhorn continued singing and clapping as the arrests were taking place, but those people were not arrested.
Holmes argued that the chief was arbitrarily arresting people who were engaging in "peaceful political speech" protected under the U.S. Constitution.
He said the order for dispersal was unconstitutional because there was no evidence that the protesters "were engaging in or about to engage in violent disorderly conduct."
Additionally, Holmes contended that the legislative rules used for the basis of arrest were "unconstitutionally vague and over broad."
The chief, he pointed out, sought elaboration from legal counsel after the May 6 demonstration for guidance on how to enforce them during other protests that continued through the summer.
And, in a point that was disputed by prosecutor Mary Elizabeth Wilson, Holmes argued that the rules were not properly posted or easily available for any visitor to the state building.
Hamilton dismissed the trespassing charges and failure to disperse charges at the close of the state's case. She waited until after the defense put on its evidence to dismiss the charges accusing the Ryders of violating building rules.
The Ryders praised the judge's decisions after the daylong hearing and advocated for dismissals of the pending cases.
"We have shown that we can express or concerns and not be arrested for doing that," Vicki Ryder said. "There's always a possibility of getting unjustly arrested, and we are prepared for that, but that does not mean that's our intent."

Zina Moukheiber, Contributor
I cover health IT and Middle Eastern billionaires.
Ryan Howard, founder and CEO of Practice Fusion, is riding high. In April, the San Francisco-based provider of free web-based electronic health records (EHRs) raised $23 million in a round led by Founders Fund, a venture capital firm run by billionaire Peter Thiel, a PayPal founder and early investor in Facebook. In a press release, Thiel declared: "Practice Fusion revolutionizes our interactions with the medical community, just as Facebook did for social networking."
Revolutions aside, Thiel, a libertarian, saw his investment in Practice Fusion as a rare opportunity to take advantage of a government mandate. In February 2009, Congress passed the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act—part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Obama administration wants to promote the use of EHRs; it is doing so by subsidizing doctors and hospitals' purchase of EHRs, setting aside $19 billion in taxpayers money. There's a fixed deadline–2015; and there are penalties for those eligible health care providers who don't comply with a specific set of rules to qualify for the incentives.
The impact on the market has been swift. Publicly-traded sellers of EHRs, such as Allscripts, Cerner, and Quality Systems (NextGen) saw their shares go up (they've retreated from their highs since). Analysts expect the market for EHRs to grow dramatically from less than $2 billion to $9 billion by 2013. It's a good bet that lots of mediocre software is now being foisted on deadline-facing, digitally illiterate doctors.
Just two years ago, Practice Fusion was on the verge of extinction. After four years knocking on doctors' doors and vying for their attention with pharma sales reps, Howard had run out of money. He had fund-raised his "ass off" with no success. His situation was so desperate that he had to use the insurance he got for a bad motorcycle accident, to pay the salary of three employees. He had slashed the price of his electronic health record from $300 per month, down to $50/month, and finally to $0. "I was getting hammered," says Howard. "Doctors would haggle on the phone." He remembers watching a television documentary featuring a drug addict hitting rock bottom, and relating to it. "Running a start-up is like an addiction, your standards get lower." Meaning it's hard for entrepreneurs pursuing an idea to know when to stop when things look bleak; and it often comes at the expense of an emptied bank account, and ruined relationships.
Then, just like that, Howard's luck changed. Shortly after the HITECH Act was announced, Howard got $750,000 from Silicon Valley's Band of Angels. It was followed by an undisclosed investment from Salesforce.com, which also agreed to host Practice Fusion's EHR on its cloud computing platform. Morgenthaler Ventures and Felicis Ventures soon piled in with $7 million.
Practice Fusion was able to recruit Jason Portnoy, a PayPal alum, as CFO. He introduced Howard to Thiel. Howard showed up at the billionaire's San Francisco home for breakfast, not exactly knowing who he was. One hour and a half later, Thiel wrote him a check for $1 million, before leading the round in April. (Hey, he gave Facebook a $500,000 check).
Something else happened too. By giving away its EHR for free, doctors started signing up in droves. Howard says he has 90,000 users—which he defines as physician, nurse or even the office secretary; and a database of 12 million patients, which he claims is bigger than the VA's and Kaiser Permanente's. Howard's pitch: Doctors can get an EHR without paying a cent and pocket the entire $44,000 government check—which is what they stand to get if they comply with the meaningful use rules. In contrast, an EHR for Practice Fusion's market of nine or less doctors can cost $50,000 per user.
But nothing is really quite free, and Practice Fusion needs to find a way to make money. In the fine print of its licensing agreement, there's a provision which says that by signing on, doctors agree to transfer their ownership of patient data, stripped of identifiers, to the company. Practice Fusion now sits on a valuable load of information that pharmaceutical companies would love to get their hands on to mine it. There are, for example, one million patients with diabetes in the database; the number for obesity is the highest. I ask Howard whether he plans to sell useful marketing information to a company that wants to know, say, in which parts of the country its newly-released drug is not being prescribed. He balks; he wants to make sure he's not crossing any ethical lines. He's looking instead at applications, such as helping pharma companies enroll patients in clinical trials, or monitoring a drug following its release on the market. Practice Fusion's revenues which are now less than $10 million, come mostly from advertising.
So what kind of advice does Thiel give Howard when they meet once a month for breakfast? Apparently Thiel doesn't dole out small advice. "He's at such a macro level," says Howard, but the goal is to focus on growth, not revenues, and make it the "de facto EHR." Kind of like the Facebook approach.
I am considering EMR such as practice fusion, but am now weary of sensitive mental health information in the medical chart being used or seen even if the information is de-indentified. Would like to know more to understand if this should be a concern of mine or not. Mike
Read HIPPA first and learn what a covered entity is and you will realize that HIPPA actually gives covered entities tremendous ability to use your data for marketing.
Not only does your insurance entity have a right to your medical records it also gives software companies that host your medical records is a "covered entity" as well http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/faq/business_associates/256.html
"a software company that hosts the software containing patient information on its own server or accesses patient information when troubleshooting the software function, is a business associate of a covered entity."
A covered entity can do things like market directly to a patient –
for example " Under a program operated by the covered entity directly or by a business associate, communications about such programs are not marketing because they are about the covered entity's own health-related services.
So, for example, a " hospital's Wellness Department could start a weight-loss program and send a flyer to all patients seen in the hospital over the past year who meet the definition of obese, even if those individuals were not specifically seen for obesity when they were in the hospital." (source HHS.gov – HIPPA FAQ)
Guess where they get the data from? The EHR.
Practice Fusion healthinformation can be tracked back to individual patients—-so-called "de-identified" health data is easily re-identified.
The failure of "de-idenftification" is now common knowledge–there are just too many data bases with public information that can be cross-matched with the supposedly safely de-identified health data sets and patients can be re-identified. See this article by top computer scientists Narayanan and Shmatikov in the journal of the ACM at: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_cacm10.pdf
Further, patients are not required to give meaningful informed consent before physicians who use Practice Fusion enter their data. Informed consent would require spelling out that the patient's data will be sold to endless numbers of purchasers for purposes that they may not approve of or agree with. The patients' whose privacy is violated may sue YOU, the doctor for choosing an EHR vendor who sells their data, not just sue Practice Fusion for its illegal, unethical business model—which is NOT just placing ads, primarily they sell patient data.
Once patient data is entered, Practice Fusion reportedly will never delete it from their system, even if the patient decides at the TIME they meet the physician not to be treated by that doctor or to participate in the electronic records system. Patient Privacy Rights has received complaints from several individuals who could not get any of their information removed, despite declining to be treated by the Practice Fusion doctor.
Its best to choose an ethical, legal EHR vendor that does not sell patient data.
You are right that HIPAA allows covered entities to market to patients—that practice was renamed "patient education" but does the same thing.
The really abhorrent and illegal practice that HIPAA permits is the sale of patient data to any company or individual claiming to use the data for "research" or "public health" uses. Those who buy the data are not audited or required to prove what they do with the data; and there is no way to validate what happens to the data.
This is why President Obama released new principles so the public will trust the Internet and electronic networks on Feb 22nd. See: http://patientprivacyrights.org/2012/02/re-sizing-up-the-family-gene-pool/ and http://patientprivacyrights.org/2012/02/wh-initiative-consumer-privacy-bill-of-rights/
The entire global digital economy will fail unless the President's first principle in the historic new Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights is adopted: "Consumers have a right to exercise control over what personal data companies collect from them and how they use it."
Practice Fusion fails to meet the test of a trustworthy system. Patients cannot control personal information in the Practice Fusion EHR or how Practice Fusion uses and sells their data.
Oh, Ms. Phung, you can't call yourself objective in this chat forum – you work for the company. It is incumbent upon your answers, your job, your way of living to only promote "positively" about Practice Fusion. You comment that we can be "assured" but you didn't give a 100% guarantee that the information cannot be tracked back. Unless you are also a computer hacker that knows every way in and out – you just don't know what hackers will be able to do tomorrow, next year or next decade. From your comment one year ago – we can't even be "assured" you are even still with the company. Perhaps you were fired – who knows?
Practice Fusion is a COMPANY that is designed to make money – PERIOD. PF isn't doing this out of the goodness of its steel heart. Heck – private insurance companies are FOR PROFIT COMPANIES putting profit AHEAD of health for its shareholders.
To simplify things from the business playground "Liar, Liar pants on fire."
I have initiated a topic / Question on "Quora" to discuss the ethical issues related to Practice Fusion. I encourage your participation. Thank-you.

GCC Developers Publish Bugfix Release
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) developers have now released version 4.2.3, which fixes a number of bugs.
The latest release appeared after three months of work by the developer team. Joseph Myers does not reveal the bugs the release fixes in his announcement – he simply refers generically to regressions. This said, the fixes seem to be fairly major, drawing conclusions from the 31MB footprint of the patch for the previous version. No new functions were added.
The GNU Compiler Collection includes compilers for the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java and Ada programming languages. Both the patch and the complete GCC 4.2.3 archive are available for downloading from various mirror servers.

The Darkside Acrylic Circular Barbell is a great piece because its lightweight. This is an awesome looking piece however if you are needing it for a MRI or something like that it will not work, because the threads are Surgical Steel.

I needed non-metallic jewelry for an outpatient procedure at a hospital that bans piercings, even though the procedure does not involve MRIs or the like. This looks good, but boy, is it light. It;s a nice change from the heavy stainless 0 gauge ring I normally wear.

- light-weight Review by Jeff
this circular barbell is a grear piece to add to my collection. I wear it through the day at work and it won't "pull me down" so to speak. the light-weight takes care of the pull down and allows me to keep my pierced hole open.
the down side is that you have to be careful of the screws when inserting it into your body and the balls tend to loosen up so you have to always check them to ensure you don't lose one.

That's what a state appeals court ruled Tuesday in a decision that clarified some municipal powers.
The 3rd District Court of Appeals says the storm sewer's construction needed approval from the Town of Union. But the city argued otherwise.
Court records say in August 2001, Eau Claire asked the Town of Union for permission to place a storm sewer along town roads and under two private lots in a project designed to mitigate drainage problems in the city.
Records say the town gave the city permission to place the lines under the roads but denied permission regarding the private lands, arguing it considered those changes "shortsighted.''
The city went ahead with the construction plans and the town went to court, obtaining an injunction to block the project.

Telling testimony
The poor performance of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in congressional testimony was at odds with your "Clinton, strong" editorial Jan. 25. You wrote that the secretary was offended by the implication that she was unaware of the danger and unconcerned about the American victims and their families.
In fact, in her congressional testimony, Clinton said she wasn't aware of the embassy's cables about deteriorating security, nor about her department's refusal to provide security reinforcements. "It was not brought to my attention" was her rejoinder. Clinton's banner broadside was, "We had four dead Americans – was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?"
If the secretary doesn't know which of these scenarios took place, we should be glad that she's resigning.
Her following sentence was: "What difference, at this point, does it make?" Well, it makes all the difference to the families of the victims, who need to know where the buck stops in the State Department. No public servant should be allowed to say, "That was then, this is now – get over it."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — A man charged with Norman's only homicide in 2012 was entered into a formal plea of not guilty by the Cleveland County District Court during arraignment.
Dustin Dale Allen, 20, of Oklahoma City, was charged with first-degree murder in September after allegedly shooting Mary Ellen Benavidez, 57, in the chest on Sept. 13 in her Norman residence.
Police responded to the call Sept. 13 just before 4 a.m. at Benavidez's home, 1210 Stubbeman Ave. Benavidez was transported to the hospital but was pronounced dead at 4:30 a.m.
According to the affidavit filed with Allen's charge, Allen entered the home armed, searching for Benavidez's son, Jason, who also resided at the home but was not there at the time of the incident. The affidavit stated that Allen was mad at Jason.
Detective Derek Hopkins, a Norman police officer who investigated the incident, testified during the arraignment Thursday. After Allen was apprehended, Hopkins took part in interviewing Allen, who admitted to breaking into the home and shooting Mary Ellen.
Hopkins said during the interview that Allen said he went to leave the residence when Mary Ellen had walked out and he "got startled or panicked" because "he was afraid she would say something or call the cops."
The affidavit stated when Allen was confronted by Mary Ellen, he fired one shot at her chest as she was backing away from him. He said he believed she was scared, the affidavit stated.
After shooting the woman, Allen fled, taking off in his truck.
At that point in time, Jason had been walking back home when he heard the gunshot. Jason observed Allen fleeing from his yard and taking off in a truck. When he ran into the residence, he found his mother lying on the floor with a gunshot wound, according to the affidavit.
During Allen's interview, Hopkins said when Allen fled the scene, Allen said he went to a Norman motel, picked up two individuals and drove to Oklahoma City. At some point in Oklahoma City, Allen demanded money from a lady in a driveway with the gun he was carrying. However, he wasn't able to get any money from her.
Hopkins said Allen admitted in the interview that he was trying to get money to flee the state.
Allen then said he saw a cop car and took off in the truck again, which is when a police pursuit in Oklahoma City began, Hopkins said. The police were responding to an armed robbery.
Hopkins said during the pursuit, Allen said he got out of the truck he had been driving and walked to a family member's residence, where he fell asleep.
The pursuit continued without Allen when one of the other individuals he was with took over driving. When the pursuit was stopped, Oklahoma City police identified the truck as the same one that had fled the scene from the homicide earlier that day in Norman.
Hopkins said the same weapon used in the murder was found in the truck and was consistent with shot casings found at the scene. The detective said Allen told him it was a friend's gun.
Oklahoma City police later learned Allen's location and took him into custody, then Norman police transported him to the Norman Police Department.
Hopkins said during the interview, Allen described in great detail the route he had taken when fleeing to Oklahoma City and recalled which streets and exits he took.
Allen had been on probation for three months when he allegedly shot and killed Benavidez. He was convicted of several misdemeanor charges of driving while under suspension, as well as a felony charge of second-degree burglary and knowingly concealing stolen property.
"What gets me more than the charge itself is the matter of months it took you to commit another crime," Judge Walkley said during his formal arraignment Thursday.
Walkley set a conference status for Allen, which will be 1:45 p.m. May 8 at the Cleveland County Courthouse.

As the horror of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School unfolded Friday, scores of Newtown parents converged on the scene, hoping desperately to reunite with kids long held on lockdown inside.
Within hours, the parents of 20 children would face the unimaginable reality that their kids had perished during a late-morning shooting that has brought this normally quiet community to a shocked standstill.
Details on the gunman and police investigation on what led to the shooting are slowly emerging. State police said late Friday that they're hoping to confirm the identities of the victims in this tragedy Saturday.
Meanwhile, Newtown parents and relatives of students at the school, now grappling with how to move forward, are reliving the horrifying emotions they experienced during the agonizing minutes and hours of every parent's worst nightmare.
Jill Forrester was leaving the scene of the school at 11:15 a.m. with her daughter, a student.
"I'm a lot better now that I have her (my daughter) with me," Forrester said. "My heart's breaking for everybody that's been affected by this. I was at work and got a call from my husband. ... I just immediately had a meltdown, not knowing a lot of information. Jumped in the car and drove about 100 mph down the highway. ... And she's fine. Thank God."
Patricia Pekar is a nanny for a 10-year-old girl named Jenna at the school who originally was thought to be missing. Pekar said she didn't realize when she arrived at the chaotic, heart-wrenching scene that Jenna's pediatrician already had picked the girl up from the school.
According to Pekar, Jenna's own mother, who was in New Haven as the shooting unfolded, also didn't know where the girl was because Janna forgot her mom's cellphone number.
"Nobody knew," Pekar said. "[We found out] just now, maybe 15 minutes ago, that she was fine. Her mother came in and I was crying. I had gotten the news that all those children had died. I thought Jenna was one of them. When you take care of other people's children, they're like your own. And you love them. I was really upset about the whole thing, and I still upset — there's so many families out there that have lost their children. And it's just not right that people can come into the school system and do this."
Multiple media outlets citing police sources have identified the shooter as 20-year-old Adam Lanza. Earlier in the day, police raided a home that tax records show is owned by the Lanza family, and Adam Lanza's own brother had been detained by police in New Jersey. The family's mother is said to have been among the adults shot and killed Friday.
Johnny Kerens told Patch that his mother Maureen, a nurse who was called to the scene, reached out to him, asking him to come and help.
"I was outside the school at around 9:30," he said. "It was chaos. There were a lot of people running around, and I was just staying with the families, just waiting for the information. When my mom called, I ran down from my house, about half a mile away. I just wanted to make sure she was alright."
Maureen Kerens told Patch that she just could not make sense of the shooting.
"Why did 20 children have to lose their lives? It's just unbelievable," she said.
Roy Low and his son—on lockdown for hours as the events unfolded, as were all public school students in Newtown—were near the scene at about 12 p.m.
Low told Patch that he had just picked his son up from middle school, after the boy had been huddled under his desk for three hours.
"All my kids went to this school and I was down here at 10 this morning," Low said. "It was just devastating. The smell of brakes was all you smelled ... It's going to be a long time before I forget this. It's horrifying for these kids. You bring these kids into a nice town like this, you don't expect stuff like this to happen, you know?"

Hey, Im beginning my cut today and IM uncertain about a couple things that I was hoping you could answer. Ill post further questions as they pop up but for now:
1. Should I still eat my pre-bed cottege cheese snack?
2. Should I run on an empty stomach when I wake up or when Im fed a little later?
3. During my bulk I ate 3700 calories...during my cut it will be around 2700. Should I drop them gradualy or all at once? (Im thinking about doing it at once because I dont want to waste any time...plus Im getting sick of food)
1. I don't see why you couldnt as long as it fits into your total daily calorie intake.
2. I'm not a big fan of doing cardio on an empty stomach, since I <3 HIIT. I think it really depends on the person though, some will swear by cardio on empty stomach while others hate it.
3. Decrease your calorie intake gradually over several weeks. Once your fatloss stagnates, lower them.
1- I don't think it will matter as long as it fits into your cals for the day and it's not a huge serving, I'd keep it around the same cals as my other meals
2- Empty stomach, if you give your body food it will use the food as it's energy source, if you run on an empty stomach the only fuel it will have to use is fat
3- As long as you keep you protein intake up I don't think it will matter much. Upping your cals you should always do slowly so your body doesn't start storing the extra as fat, but decreasing your calories won't do this. Just keep the protein high.
Ok sounds good. Thanks for the input.
Just an iddition to question #2 (running on empty stomach):
If you run on an empty stomach wont it also burn muscle tho? Also, what if you run right after you eat so youre not starving, would that work?
To a certain extent yes and that's one of the reasons your nutrition and post workout meals must be right on, running with a full stomach is disgusting and VERY hard to do without tossing your cookies (at least that's what I've found)Originally Posted by darius19
I ran a hour after breakfast today for 30 minutes and I was 100% fine...although that might be a bit too late...IDK. Any other input?Originally Posted by Geeper

Running on an empty stomach has been terrific for me. NO MUSCLE LOST. REPEAT, NO MUSCLE LOST. The whole thing about "omgz cardio in teh morning makes me lose muskles!1111" is so ****ing overdone and overrated. The only way it's going to actually start burning your muscle is if you run marathons on an empty stomach.

"OMG HE EETS 2 MUCH0RZ!!111 O NOES HE EETS TEH FATS!!!111" - PowerManDL
"Test does a body good." - Severed Ties
I guess it varies from person to person. I did way too much AM empty cardio last summer, and I know I lost muscle. I started the summer pressing 4 plates a side on leg press. By the end, I was down to TWO.
Why not just have a few carbs to fuel your cardio before hand, like in a small shake?
Its not like your body is going to solely use the carbs you ingest to fuel your exercise and your cardio will be wasted.
And its not just the cardio your doing that will burn your calories but also your increased metabolism after your done.
The amount of worry people do about the smallest detail probably causes more loss to muscle from stress then they save worrying about it in the first place
Yes, I think that if you do AM cardio you really have to be more careful with your diet and the amount you do. If you're dieting pretty hardcore and doing a lot of cardio in the AM, I agree that you would lose some muscle.Originally Posted by Built

I do it a hour after breakfast, do you think waiting 2 hours after breakfast would be sufficient?
If you eat before your AM cardio, you will burn your breakfast. If you don't, you'll burn bodyfat. My feeling is that we're not just trying to burn calories, we're trying to repartition.
I don't understand how this works. If you do cardio on an epmty stomach you burn body fat, right? But then you eat later and what you eats turns into body fat because it won't get burned. So, isn't that the same as doing cardio after you eat because it will result in the same outcome?
I have considered this. It's a very good question.
My understanding is that a healthy, normal body is constantly moving between storing AND burning fat.
I also understand that it's fairly hard for your body to release bodyfat - it has to be "coerced" into dropping it.
Both storing and burning bodyfat are inefficient, whereas burning off blood sugar is relatively inefficient. I believe the deal is that it taxes your body more to burn off bodyfat and then store some from your digesting food, than it would be to simply burn off what you eat before your body has to waste energy storing it, and then freeing it as an energy source.
Guys and gals, am I close to correct here?
I think if you're counting you daily caloric intake, then it doesn't matter when you do cardio, as long as you do some. Let's say you eat, then run. You will burn your breakfast. But since you will be in caloric deficit by the end of the day (remember, we're counting cals and aiming for deficit), then you will in the end burn fat.
If you do cardio first, then you will burn fat during cardio, but less throughout the day. In the end, I'm pretty sure it's the exact same thing as long as you're eating a certain amount of calories under maintenance.
Furthermore, I find this method awesome for fat burning. I take the HIIT approach at first, I do some sprints and some walking. I do this for like 15 mins. Then I continue walking slowly or sit for about 5 mins. The sprinting mobilizes large amounts of fatty acids (this is my theory, not sure if it's true, but this technique has worked very well for me). Next, I jog for 20-30 mins. The jogging burns off the mobilized fat.
Another method: I play soccer or basketball. The sprinting and walking is sort of like the HIIT fat mobilization thing I do, and then after the game I jog at a light pace.
This is what I do too, following any intense activity - mobiilze FFAs, then burn them off with a little steady-state cardio. If it's a lower body workout, I just do a fast incline walk after I lift. For upper body, I'll do 5-8 HIIT intervals followed by 8-10 minutes of steady state to burn off the FFAs.

Richard Florida is about as close as you get to a rock star in urban policy circles. He parlayed books on cities into best sellers, created a lucrative cosulting business, and recently was lured to Toronto to head a think tank created just for him (with a salary exceeding $350k in Canadian dollars).
Florida's rise to rock star status rests on his argument that a city's future depends on its ability to attract, retain, and grow a "creative class" of professionals, artists, hip software engineers, technology experts, and others. His consulting firm has been retained by dozens of cities to craft plans for attracting and nurturing the so-called creative class.
If all this sounds a bit elitist, it is, and Florida doesn't hide it. Affable and open in person (I've debaetd him before), Florida says he is simply pointing out what he thinks are observations about the way cities actually function and grow. The ideas seem a little too simplistic (and they are), so the real question may be how long they last in the policy debate.
Now, as the Toronto Star reports, the party may be over. A legion of critics is arguing that his work is little more than salemanship. What makes this report particularly interesting is the explicitly Marxist orientation of most of the critiques.
According to one neighborhood activist leading the charge against Florida,
"Richard Florida's exotic city, his creative city, depends on ghost people, working behind the scenes. Immigrants, people of colour. You want to know what his version of creative is? He's the relocation agent for the global bourgeoisie. And the rest of us don't matter."
Honeymoons, typically, are short. For Florida, who arrived in Toronto just over two years ago to head the Martin Prosperity Institute, a University of Toronto think-tank created just for him, it's officially over.
Shakir, a community advocate, was speaking at a public forum organized recently by the art magazine Fuse, and the group, Creative Class Struggle. Its website leaves little to the imagination: "We are a Toronto-based collective who are organizing a campaign challenging the presence of Richard Florida and the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto, as well as the wider policies and practices they represent."
The forum was its coming-out party – the beginning, they say, of a wider campaign, as the site explains, "to reclaim our institutions, our city, and our elected governments" from Florida's best-known pitch: That future economic health for cities relies on broad-brushstroke boosterism of creative professionals, bohemianism, cosmopolitanism and diversity, and the warning that cities that don't embrace it will be left in a death-spiral of post-industrial decay.
I've generally felt that Florida's insights were useful, but oversold on their merits. You can't build a city only on professionals, artists, and other elites. Too many people were looking for the next silver bullet to revitalize their city, and Florida's ideas seemed to provide it. The problem is that Florida's ideas apply most directly to downtowns, and downtowns simply aren't that important (economically and culturally) anymore. So, an urban development strategy based on downtown development will do little to keep an urban economy growing.
The backlash in Toronto is probably inevitable as the practical weaknesses of the new sliver bullet become evident.
Florida is best known for his books the Rise of the Creative Class, the Flight of the Creative Class and most recently Who's Your City?
One of the most substantive critics of Florida is Joel Kotkin and a popular early critique of Florida's work can be found here. Several articles critical of Florida's ideas can be found at newgeography.com as well.

text: Visiting Assistant Professor of Old Testament On Faculty since 2013 Office: BGC 525 Phone: (630)752-5901 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Education Ph.D., Christian Religion, Baylor University, 2010 M.Div., Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, 2005 GCBTS, Knox Theological Seminary, 2002 B.A., International Ministries, Moody Bible Institute, 1998 About Jim Keener "Dost thou wish to understand? Believe . . . Therefore, do not seek to understand in order to believe, but believe that thou mayest understand" - St. Augustine, Homilies on the Gospel of John "If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established" - Isa 7:9 "He who called you is faithful; he will surely do it" - I Thes 5:24 Teaching and studying the Bible at a place like Wheaton is a rare privilege. In our age, any attempt to study God's Word seriously must take pains to steer clear of both the Scylla of ati-intellectualism on the one hand and the Charybdis of irrelevant scholarly abstractions on the other. In my classes, as in many others at Wheaton, we strike such a balance by bringing an academically rigorous study of the Old Testament to bear upon our own day to day lives as part of the community of faith. My classes proceed from the conviction that God has revealed himself in Jesus Christ and the Bible so that the Old Testament bears witness to the Triune God. Prior to coming to Wheaton, I had the privilege of serving in diverse roles in several different parts of the world. I taught seminary in Bolivia, served as a Pastor of English Ministry in Pittsburgh, PA, and taught Social Studies classes to bilingual high school students in Rockford, IL, to name just a few of my "past lives." I love to travel, love to learn languages, and love to spend time with my wonderful wife and children. Most of all, I love to study God's Word and teach the Old Testament to intelligent, eager young students.

Contemporary hobos
Mike Brodie, otherwise known as the Poloroid Kidd returns to Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery, 2375 S. Howell Ave., for Gallery Night, tonight.
You may remember, I wrote about Brodie's documentation of what, for want of a better term, are contemporary hobos last year. I was incredibly struck by his beautifully composed portraits.
Brodie is part of a little known civilizatin that exists under and around train tracks. On the one hand, he's documents the lives of wandering, homeless kids. But there is something performative, complex and wonderfully defiant about the people in the portraits and Brodie's images of them.
There is a dusty, pale brown that serves as a commonality to the people photographed. That sheath of dirt is, in its way, quite beautiful.
Here's a slideshow I made of Brodie's last show.

"All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." —Leo Tolstoy
As a writer, Celia Bayley's insights into the ways of the human heart made her famous. And why not? She had married a handsome war hero and produced three successful children. Yet, as her family gathers for her funeral, the diaries and notebooks and letters she left behind paint a very different picture, one that shocks those who loved her and will force them to confront the difficult conflicts in their own lives.
A life torn by secrets is revealed. The husband she adored had deceived her early in their marriage and broken her heart, though they persevered as a family. Then, years later while on a trip with friends, she meets a man for whom she feels a passion she never believed possible. In one brief moment, her whole life is turned inside out.
