WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Senior House Democrats on Tuesday pressed their Republican colleagues to schedule a vote on the fiscal-cliff agreement reached by President Barack Obama and Senate leaders and passed by the Senate Tuesday morning. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said she wanted the measure to come to a vote without amendments. "We look forward now to see what the timing will be for a straight up-and-down vote," Pelosi said at a news conference following a three hour closed-door meeting with Vice President Joe Biden. Republicans were meeting separately amidst growing talk that many of their party want to amend the deal to include more spending cuts and send it back to the Senate. Democrats held back on saying they support the fiscal-cliff deal, saying that it was still under review.

Talking point: More opt for watery grave in Sussex
10:10am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News By Neil Vowles
It was the way Neil Armstrong, Edmund Hillary and Alfred Hitchcock all chose to be buried at sea.
Now an increasing number of people are opting to have their ashes, and even their bodies, dropped into the Sussex sea.
Groups offering the service say a rising interest is being driven, in part, by the religious observances of Hindus and a growing interest in ecology.
The Maritime Volunteer Service East Sussex has a special licence allowing it to carry out burials at a specially designated site nine miles south of Newhaven which is one of only three points in the UK where sea burials are allowed.
The charity carries out three burials a year and up to a dozen ashes scattering ceremonies.
They ask for a donation of up to £2,000 to cover their costs for each burial which has to follow strict guidelines.
Coffins have to be weighed down and holes drilled in while the wood used for coffins has to be natural and untreated, the body not embalmed and all clothes and flowers have to be biodegradable.
Sailing connection
One of the services' skippers Greg Darby, who has also made it his last wish to be buried at sea, said: "Usually people who have a real connection with the sea, people who served with the Royal or Merchant Navy, want to be buried while people who lived overlooking the coast or walked their dog along the beach want to have their ashes scattered.
"We've also had an interest from the Hindu community.
"Their belief is to be scattered in the Ganges which is a living God to them but this isn't possible for all of them so if they are returned to the sea ultimately they will return to the Ganges.
"If you are buried at sea, you are not taking space up in the ground or giving off fumes at a cremation, people like the idea of being returned to the sea."
Sussex Voyages host a couple of ceremonies every month and say interest is rising.
The firm started offering the service three years ago and have held ten so far this year with popular locations including Pevensey Bay, Beachy Head and Eastbourne Pier.
Founder Peter Smith said his company offers a biodegradable urn made from sand and gelatine that bobs on the surface for about a minute before sinking below the waves and dissolving in 12 hours.
Mr Smith said: "The biodegradable urn means you don't have ashes washing up the side of the boat or being blown into people's faces, the terrible things you hear about.
"It also means that you don't have the urn being picked up by fishing nets or being washed up which isn't very dignified."
For more details on services at sea visit www.sussexvoyages.co.uk, www.sussexshipwrecks.co.uk or contact the Marine Volunteer Service on 01892 853500.

How and where and when did the Forgotten Realms start? What's at the heart of Ed Greenwood's creation, and how does the Grand Master of the Realms use his own world when he runs D&D adventures for the players in his campaign? "Forging the Forgotten Realms" is a weekly feature wherein Ed answers all those questions and more.
rom ancient Netheril through Halruaa to the notorious Five Companies, humans have built skyships in the Realms for centuries. Elves have fashioned or grown airships for even longer. During troubled times, they've become vitally important means of war, escape, swift far travel, and trade. As strife and storms and accidents claim some aerial vessels and the means of replacing them are lost, forgotten, or beyond the resources available to those who know the methods, they have become ever more rare.
It's always been intentional that airships would be rare treasures in Faerûn, never the decisive face of warfare. I want the Realms to stay a place where individual, on-the-ground heroics always hold sway.
Yet as the sage Alaundo said so long ago, "The days and years roll on, and cycles of power turn, and new things ever arise."
This is as true for skyships as anything else, and new ships now sail the skies of the Realms.
In Calimport, the wizard Ilhadra Inthru devised spells that enact prolonged levitation on bars of a particular alloy ("prolonged" meaning a little more than a day, in this case). Build a sandwich of two decks to enclose enough of those bars (with little "windows" or trapdoors allowing spellcasters on the upper deck to touch a bar while renewing its magic). Attach to this deck railings and a tripod mast, a wideboard rudder for steering, and some cross-spars for sails, and you have a hovering raft. It can be moved horizontally by sails or "rowing" in the air with large paddles (rowing wings, essentially) and anchored to the ground or made to pivot by using droplines with grapples.
Inthru's "floating wagons" are most useful for carrying cargoes across rivers and gorges, and to lift large and heavy items aloft, such as when ballistae need to be raised onto the battlements of castles. They have also been seen being towed along roads by teams of horses in fair weather. There are even reports of Inthru's wagons being used in castle assaults on dark nights.
Blustery weather makes these wagons hard to control or to keep on a roadway. Storms can wreak havoc on them, hurling them like leaves across great distances to shatter on mountainsides, crash into treelines, or smash their way through narrow city streets. Keeping even a modest cargo aloft for days requires repeated castings of Inthru's spells (known to but a few) and possession of precious bars of Inthru's secret alloy (known to even fewer). Many rulers and wizards' cabals have sent agents to try to capture Inthru. He now lives in hiding, since there are those whose attitude is, "if we can't control him, it's better that he be dead than alive." Only a handful of apprentices (and those who tortured secrets out of them) now possess the secret of the necessary spells and bars of alloy.
"Useful thing, but hardly skyships," Elminster pointed out. "More like aerial rafts for children, painters, or roofers to play about with, if ye see them as I do."
The Sage of Shadowdale then shared with me news of some real skyships—rigged hulls whose skilled crews can alter a complex series of sails (and rush about the craft shifting ballast and cargo) to catch the wind, bank, dive, and climb. These "bold birds" are three slender caravels that can sail both the seas and the skies. They were recently built by intrepid adventurers who used magically buoyant, float-by-themselves glowing globes as the levitating engines. Unlike the once-common light sources of the same name, these sturdy electrum spheres are as large around as one-to-a-wagon-sized ale casks.
The adventurers, Baerlum's Boldblades, were a motley band adventuring out of Ankhapur. They discovered some ruined wizards' towers adrift in the sky, caught between needle-sharp peaks in a tiny mountain valley among the western Cloven Mountains. The wizards were dead or fled, but their shattered homes were still guarded by deadly warding magics and deadlier constructs. The adventurers managed to escape with their lives and some minor magical treasures by netting the globes in tapestries and using them as parachutes.
Whereupon they were wise enough to abandon their accustomed lives of adventuring, and instead turned their effort to parlaying these floating spheres into lasting careers.
Each globe can barely lift the weight of a heavy man, so a cluster of more than thirty is necessary to lift their small caravels. Magical light leaks steadily from dozens of seams and gaps in the hulls, and the craft can carry only small, light cargoes. The three ships (Morning Bird, Highwing, and Storm Bird) are now captained by Baerlum and his fellow former adventurers and crewed by their henchmen, apprentices, and families, who earn good coin shuttling light but valuable cargoes (a few passengers, treaties, contracts, messages, maps, small coffers of gems, precious fresh fruit in the depths of winter, and a few sacks or chests of coins) between Sword Coast and Inner Sea destinations, outpacing caravans that carry larger and heavier bulk cargoes and with complete safety from run-of-the-mill banditry and ground-bound monsters.
Rumor has it that at least one of the ships has been captured by a cruel wizard who now magically controls the ship's captain and crew and who puts the vessel to darker uses (kidnappings and smuggling of poisons and stolen magic)—or perhaps he's using spells to give his cronies the appearances of the former crew. No one can agree which Bird has "gone dark," however, and this new Dark Master is continuing to make the same voyages and offer the same services—but, as Elminster puts it, he is "plucking the choicest cargoes that come within reach."
The last of the new sorts of skyships is another wizard's unscrupulous vessel: the Arrow of the Skies, a long, troughlike barge of the air roughly but sturdily built of heavy timbers, that ascends slung beneath three enspelled wyverns who are ridden by the mages who enchanted them to obedience. These wizards are Marandur Kalthur (formerly of Chessenta) and two companions he met while adventuring, Hamandrar Illuk (from Estagund) and Narlglar Chelith (once of Turmish).
This trio hit upon spells that could bend the wills of wyverns or force them into slumber, and experimented—perilously—until they had mastered three strong, intact creatures. They put these steeds to work hauling smelted metal from the most remote mines north of the Moonsea down to the Sembian uplands, and later, as a shadow fell upon that land, on the upland farms of Impiltur, where they could be swiftly and easily conveyed to ports for sale elsewhere. In the air, they overtake and pass slower, riskier, and costlier overland metal caravans, and compete with the underways of the dwarves.
The Arrow doesn't fly often. As word of its existence has spread, attacks on it by rival mages (and at least one dragon, motives unknown) have become more numerous. It remains to be seen whether its aerial career will end in an inglorious crash or if it will be taken elsewhere and used in different, less overtly mercantile ways by its owners. It is an open secret that they are being courted by Thay and almost certainly by other rulers, too.
So look to the skies—where you'll not see aerial vessels often, but as Elminster warns, "just often enough to make things interesting for adventurers—and terrifying for everyone else."

When I was a kid, the best day of my life was the day my mom gave me her old Barbie Dreamhouse. It was made of pink cardboard, but equipped with all the swanky Malibu details you'd expect. My barbies spent many hours cooking dinner in the luxury kitchen and then retreating to the bedroom to hump each other. Good times. Today my inner child is telling me to buy a ticket to Florida, because that is where Mattel just unveiled a 10,000 square-foot replica of the Barbie Dreamhouse. The feat required 20 pounds of glitter and 100 gallons of pink paint to bring to fruition, and guests are invited to sit down at human-size versions of Barbie's makeup counter, cook up some imaginary food on one of her three pink ovens, or play a tune on her hot pink grand piano. Check out a few more photos of this crazy piece of Barbie real estate after the jump… Keep reading »

You tried Disney World. That three-hour wait to shake Donald Duck's hand would have been worth it if it had been the actual Donald Duck. Turns out it was a theater major from the local community college dressed like a duck. What a rip-off!
Camping's a great kid-friendly vacation, you thought. What were you thinking? Nothing like a 4-year-old and a pile of dirt for a week. At least you got a taste of the 14-hour workday so popular in the Middle Ages.
That trip to the water park went well too, didn't it? Except for the near drowning and the sixth-degree sunburn.
Isn't it time to think outside the toy box for the next family vacation? Try these five unknown kid-friendly travel destinations, and spare yourself the wanting to pound your face into a brick wall frustration you felt last year.
No. 5: Washington, D.C.
Most people equate Washington, D.C., with politics, corruption, and really bad professional sports teams. Anyone who's taken the family there knows it as one of the top kid-friendly travel destinations in the nation.
A kid could spend hours at the various sites of the Smithsonian Institution, without needing to check text messages every four minutes. There are numerous parks and the kids might discover that history's actually pretty interesting.
After checking out the educational stuff, check out the National Zoo or the spy museum. Throw in a top-notch public transportation system, sparing the young ones an unpresidential tirade while you fight traffic, and you really can't go wrong.
After a few days in D.C., you can always head south into Virginia and check out George Washington's estate at Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, Colonial Williamsburg, or just enjoy the miles of outdoor recreation.
This next unknown kid-friendly destination is a recreation paradise.
No. 4: Sedona, Ariz.
Instead of heading north off I-40 toward the Grand Canyon, where you can worry about your kids plummeting thousands of feet to their deaths as condescending tourists scold you for not keeping tabs on your children, head south to Sedona.
Sedona is as beautiful as the Grand Canyon and it has hotels. For the same price as staring at a colorful hole with thousands of strangers, you have a week's access to dozens of great trails.
Instead of waiting in line an hour for $9 grease-laden chili cheese fries, you get to hike an hour and enjoy a picnic lunch at the top of a mountain.
Throw in swimming holes and several state parks, and you have yourself one heckuva kid-friendly vacation.
Speaking of swimming, the next destination has plenty.
No. 3: Central California coast

7 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so can't wait! Who else is going to the Syracuse show and got VIP? I did, I did for my best friend as well she better love me considering its her birthday present. lol
I heard the same through the "Grape Vine"....maybe they'll chill out @ the Hotels At Syracuse & do a few solos. I also noticed that there is a one day break between our show & yours....and Sully being one to not pass up on going to a casino, perhaps the guys will make an extended stop @ the Turning Stone Casino....
.....Ya just never know!!
That's awesome yea for you too! I would go to the one the day before but I didn't have enough money to buy a ticket to that one too so Syracuse is fine with VIP. I hope it is awesome I've seen a lot of reviews too and that Sully's been having a lot of after parties that all you need is your ticket stub to get in and he does private little show doing a few songs solo. That would be awesome but I am not going to get my hopes for all of that because I am just happy I'm going.
Just 5 more days for us....Hope both shows will live up to what recent forum reviews have shown. My friend went to the Rupp Arena in Kentucky last Friday, and is still raving about how well not only the concert went, but how great the M & G was! Their pictures were posted in the media section within 24 hours and hers is the album cover for that night's show.....
May just "bump" into ya next Tuesday, but have floor tickets so not sure. Couldn't get Gold VIP for both, just our's on Mother's Day.
If I don't see ya.....HAVE A KILLER TIME!!!

That big pink tongue and those big brown eyes—she's not just a pretty face, but she is very pretty.
Her gaze meets yours unflinchingly, because Middie so wants to please and she is cued by anyone providing some direction. The poor girl had a serious bout with pancreatitis a couple of months ago that caused her to lose a lot of weight, but she is looking very much like her former, cheery, playful self now that she has recovered.
Middie was adopted briefly, but unfortunately was simply "a little too much dog" in a home with a 4-year-old. She did not growl or nip, but the young, exuberant Middie can be a clumsy clown at times and her short-lived adoptive family sung her praises as a good dog who did nothing wrong but regretfully returned her.
Still very much a puppy herself, there is really nothing very middling about Middie. She is not middle-aged and not mid-sized. She is young and going to fill out a bit according to a recent vet visit. Her playful exuberance is definitely maxi rather than midi!
She is a smile-maker when you watch her run and swoop. Middie is a real character and a lot of fun to spend time with. For all those families looking for a dog that will play fetch, Middie is a great choice. For kids older than 6 or taller than a yardstick, Middie would make a great companion.
For an athlete, regular walker, jogger, skater or biker, Middie is the perfect choice as she is fit, tireless, enthusiastic, cooperative and loving. Pretty Middie does not want to spend another period of time in a kennel and she does not deserve to either.
When Middie was at the shelter previously, she roomed for a while with a couple of other equally energetic dogs and got along fine, which bodes well for any family who would like a companion for their active dog. Middie is well-suited for an athletic life, running or jogging with someone and reliably returning "fetched" balls lobbed by anyone who loves the thrill of watching a retriever do her thing.
Come meet Middie in the middle and you will get maximum affection in return.
If you have a question or would like to meet Middie, call Lea at 412-780-1403, Geneva at 412-651-6843, or Judy at 724-223-9325

A blood drive on Dec. 7 at Snellville City Hall is scheduled for Torrie Williamson, a single mother of two children.
According to long-time friend Jamie Dempsey, Williamson was roasting marshmallows with her children when the fire ran up a stream of accelerant, causing a gas can to explode as Williamson was holding it.
Her son reportedly attempted to put the fire out and help his mother.
Over half of her body was severely burned. She was life-flighted to Grady Hospital, where she is in a medically-induced coma and undergoing multiple surgeries. The first surgery involves removing all the dead skin, a process called "debriding."
Williamson currently lives in Conyers, but was scheduled to close on the house of her dreams in Loganville soon.
According to a Facebook post by her fiance, John Jordan, her face is free of burns and she seems to be healing well. Jordan, a firefighter with the Rockdale County Fire Department, was able to act quickly by putting out the fire, wrapping her in a wet blanket and inserting an IV.
He and Williamson have known each other since Kindergarten.
The blood drive at Snellville City Hall will take place from 1 - 6 p.m. It was already scheduled, but when councilmen Bobby Howard and Tom Witts heard about Williamson's plight, they quickly made sure to dedicate the event to her.
Let the Red Cross know that you are donating in her name. She will need 40-50 units before all the surgeries are completed. Her blood type is O+, but all donations made in her name will contribute to her fund.
If you would like to contribute financially to Williamson and her family, you can make a donation to the Torrie Williamson Benefit Fund at any United Community Bank in Georgia. You can also mail a check or money order made out to the Torrie Williamson Fund and mail it to:
263 N. Oak Street
Jackson, Ga. 30233
There will also be a benefit concert held in her honor on Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. at Five O'Clock Sports Bar and Grill in Covington.

North Gayton extension opens to traffic
The North Gayton Road Extension opened to traffic on Oct. 6, improving access to northwestern Henrico County and relieving traffic on Pouncey Tract Road and at West Broad Street's intersection with Pouncey Tract and Pump roads.
Henrico Department of Public Works officials recommend that motorists use caution as they acclimate to the new road and traffic patterns. Some work by contractors will be ongoing.
The 2.1-mile project has provided a new, divided, six-lane road that extends North Gayton northward from West Broad. After a bridge crossing of Interstate 64, the North Gayton extension narrows to four lanes at a relocated Bacova Drive before linking to Pouncey Tract. In addition, Shady Grove Road has been widened to four lanes between Pouncey Tract and Twin Hickory Road.
The project includes sidewalks and pedestrian and bicycle paths, and, in some areas, curbs and gutters.
The $48 million North Gayton extension project has been funded entirely by Henrico through the bond referendum approved by county voters in 2005. It was pursued as a design-build project through the Virginia Public-Private Transportation Act, which allowed the contractor to plan and construct the road to the county's specifications for a fixed price. The Board of Supervisors in September 2007 approved a contract with a group led by W.C. English of Lynchburg. Construction started in December 2009.
The North Gayton Extension is projected to carry as many as 15,000 vehicles per day.

Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the milk and egg, and mix until it forms a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Roll out to your desired thickness for dumplings or you can roll thinner for noodles. Cut into strips, squares, or any shape you like. Let dry while you prepare broth or soup.
- Drop dumplings into boiling broth, and cook until tender. Time will depend on the thickness of the dumplings and how dry they were.

These were the BEST dumplings I've ever made. The only thing I did different was to cut the recipe in half and add a pinch of black pepper to the dough. I rolled the dough very thin (1/8 inch or less) cut them in small squares with my pizza cutter and put them on a floured cookie sheet to dry all afternoon. I let my chicken broth come to a boil and added the dumplings then turned down the heat, covered the pan and let them cook for about 8 min. They were just like grandma's!! Nice and thin and tender. Not gummy or doughy at all. I added my chicken after the dumplings were cooked. I thickened the broth with alittle flour mixed with cold water and served with mashed potatoes and biscuts. What a wonderful dinner on a cold night.
Diane Lucas
These are very very good dumplings and very easy to make. The only changes I made was adding a little more (maybe a tablespoon) liquid and if you are making dumplings - not pasta- drop them in right after cutting them and they will be tender
hey, this recipe was great! i was looking for a good dumpling recipe, and this was the one. i really liked how you focused on the dumpling, not so much the soup you cook it in. (so i wasn't afraid to be a veggie stealing the dumpling recipe from "chicken and dumplings") super easy recipe, made it in a jiffy, then got to focus all my creativity on the soup. i felt motivated to experiment around with what i had in the kitchen. didn't have any broth or stock, so i improvised my own base (i don't ever homecook soup other than miso). i heated some butter in a large pot, added in my chopped red onion, some shredded carrots, cremini mushroom chunks, & chive. then salted, garlic powdered, and sugared, (something i learned from asian cooking) four cups of water, & a quick splash of milk for some opacity. i cut my dumplings pretty slopily, so some were a lot bigger than others, but they all tasted uniform. you know when they are done, because they ALL float. before serving, i added some chopped green onion, and enoki mushrooms. turned out to be a nice somewhat light & fresh, but very hearty soup. presentation was nice in a glass bowl. i recommend serving immediately; if you wait too long to eat the soup... the dumplings suck in a bunch of liquid, and become much more dense & gummy (which isn't too bad, but i did like the fluffier version better, it went better with my light soup)

Wednesday, January 9, 2013 —
Inside Amari's Beauty & Fashion Supply Store, there's a lot of hair. There's hair, both blonde and brunette, straight and curly. The point is, the store which opened Dec. 20 along U.S. 52 in Albemarle is all about hair.
Antonio Horne is the store's owner. Horne, who is from Richmond County and played football for Clemson University and professionally for the St. Louis Rams, said he opened the store to supply Albemarle with a shop that carried a variety of hair and beauty products, including wigs, weaves, shampoos, brushes and combs in addition to purses and earrings.
Horne said one of his earliest memories played a role in opening the shop.
"Growing up, my grandmother had wigs, so we used to go to the wig shops with her," he said.
"I just consider it an avenue to go down to create jobs for other people in the hair business."
The store has a family atmosphere, with consultants ready to help customers with finding out which items would best suit their needs, something that Horne said happens daily.
"Some of them know what they're looking for, but if I know what's better for them, then we'll try to let them know what's the best thing to buy," said Guatana Leake, one of the store's consultants.
"We make sure that we fit their needs," Horne added.
As the store is serving those walk-in customers, Horne also has other dreams in mind for the store.
"My big vision is to be a distributor — to bring a big hair distributor for hair and weave to Albemarle for salons," he said.
To reach those goals, Amari's will utilize the web and other resources to spread its name.
"We plan on using the Internet, Facebook and different websites. Albemarle is just a place and location," he said.
"The location is in Albemarle, but my vision is worldwide."
And in that vision, Horne hopes to make Amari's a unique store from other hair and beauty based stores in what it can bring to customers and set itself apart from others in Stanly.
"I don't call it competition," he said of other stores.
"I just see it as going toward my hair store, and I do want to separate myself from them as a straight human hair shop."
Amari's, which got its name from Horne's youngest daughter, is at 1616 U.S. 52 North. Call (704) 982-4935.

Mussels with White Wine, Shallots, and Tomatoes
Serves 2 as a main course
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup tomatoes, concassé (peeled, seeded, and chopped)
¼ cup freshly chopped parsley, divided
2 tablespoons freshly chopped thyme
2 pounds fresh mussels, shells scrubbed and beards removed (see note)
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Serve with: Crusty French bread
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots to the butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the shallots are soft about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the white wine, tomatoes, 2 tablespoons parsley and thyme to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the mussels and cover the pot. Steam the mussels for 3-6 minutes, shaking the pot gently every 2 to 3 minutes until the shells have opened. Use tongs to transfer the opened mussels to a large bowl. Any mussels that do not open should be discarded.
Pour the broth over the mussels and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve the mussels immediately in their broth with plenty of bread to sop up the juices.
When buying fresh mussels, look for mussels that are either tightly closed or that close when you gently tap their shell. Discard mussels with chipped or damaged shells. Fresh mussels should be kept in an opened container (to allow them to breathe) on ice for no more than a day or two in the refrigerator.
The shells of mussels should be scrubbed thoroughly and any barnacles should be removed with a small knife or your fingernail. If necessary, remove the beard (a threadlike piece that is often found around the edge of the mussels' shell). Remove the beard by grabbing it with your fingers and pulling it towards the hinged part of the shell until it comes off. Discard the beard.

PEABODY — Police say a Pete's-A-Place delivery driver was taken to Salem Hospital with head injuries after he was attacked by three men on Littles Lane on Wednesday night.
Lt. Arthur Yeo said the men didn't show weapons during the robbery but struck the driver in the head and made off with a calzone, some subs and an undisclosed amount of cash. The men were apparently the ones who had placed the delivery order.
Police received a report of the incident from a third party just after 7 p.m.
Deshawn Huston, 17, of 70 Granite St., Apt. 17A, Lynn, was arrested in connection to the incident on a charge of unarmed robbery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Yeo said Huston left a backpack at the scene of the crime and returned to retrieve it — while police were there. Officers questioned him and then placed him under arrest.
Huston was also the subject of an outstanding warrant out of Essex County Juvenile Court for three counts of breaking and entering for a misdemeanor, according to the log.
Police are still seeking the other two suspects.

This year, members of the Dungeons & Dragons team and guests of Wizards of the Coast will participate in a 25-hour live D&D game marathon as part of Extra Life on November 2 – 3. Extra Life is a gaming event that raises funds for Children's Miracle Network hospitals. Thousands of children are treated each year in these hospitals, regardless of their families' abilities to pay. These kids face much scarier threats than dragons and beholders.
Starting at 8 AM on Saturday, November 2nd, the team will livestream its participation on the D&D Twitch TV channel. The Dungeon Master, Greg Bilsland, will run a rotating group of players through Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle for 25 hours using the D&D Next playtest rules set. The game will conclude at 8 AM on Sunday, November 3.
Donors can contribute to different team-members to grant them benefits before and during the game. At the bottom of the page is a play calendar along with full list of participants and links to their Extra Life pages.

Refer your students to sites that will help them prepare for college
In March, students and parents are busy with many different tasks. Senior students and their parents may still be completing the paperwork in the financial aid process. Juniors may be registering for spring college entrance exams, preparing for the ACT and SAT, and starting the college search process. The following sites may be helpful to you and your students.
FAFSA on the Web
This is the site of the online FAFSA. By using the Internet application students and parents will get their results 7 to 14 days faster than using a mailed paper application.
ACT and College Board
These sites allow students to register for tests, practice with sample problems, and gain more information about the testing programs. The sites are very helpful to post for junior students.
www.act.org and www.collegeboard.com
U.S. Department of Education
This is a central Department of Education site that helps students and parents access a wealth of information regarding financial aid.

How We Should Program GPGPUs
Listing 3. Fortran Matrix Multiplication Loop, Tagged to Be Compiled for the Accelerator
!$acc begin do i = 1,n1 do k = 1,n3 c(i,k) = 0.0 do j = 1,n2 c(i,k) = c(i,k) + a(i,j) + b(j,k) enddo enddo enddo !$acc end
Although a compiler may be able to determine or estimate compute intensity, there are enough issues with GPU computing that it's better to leave this step to the programmer. Let's suppose a programmer can add a pragma or directive to the program, telling the compiler that a particular routine or loop or region of code should be compiled for the GPU.
The second step is data analysis on the region: what data needs to be allocated on the device memory and what needs to be copied from the host and back to the host afterward? This is within the scope of current compiler technology, though peculiar coding styles can defeat the analysis. In such cases, the compiler reports usage patterns with strange boundary conditions; usually, it's easy to determine where this comes from and adjust the program to avoid it. In many cases, it arises from a potential bug lurking in the code, such as a hard-coded constant in one place instead of the symbolic value used everywhere else. Nonetheless, the compiler must have a mechanism to report the data analysis results, and the user must be able to override those results, in cases where the compiler is being too conservative (and moving too much data, for example).
The third step is parallelism analysis on the loops in the region. The GPU's speed comes from structured parallelism, so parallelism must be rampant for the translation to succeed, whether translated automatically or manually. Traditional vectorizing and parallelizing compiler techniques are mature enough to apply here. Although vectorizing compilers were quite successful, both practically and commercially, automatic parallelization for multiprocessors has been less so. Much of that failure has been due to over-aggressive expectations. Compilers aren't magic; they can't find parallelism that isn't there and may not find parallelism that's been cleverly hidden or disguised by such tricks as pointer arithmetic.
Yet, parallelism analysis for GPUs has three advantages. First, the application domain is likely to be self-selected to include those with lots of rampant, structured parallelism. Second, structured parallelism is exactly the domain where the classical compiler techniques apply. And finally, the payoff for success is high enough that even when automatic parallelization fails, if the compiler reports that failure specifically enough, the programmer can rewrite that part of the code to enable the compiler to proceed.
The fourth step is to map the program parallelism onto the machine. Today's GPUs have two or three levels of parallelism. For instance, the NVIDIA G80 architecture has multiprocessor (MIMD) parallelism across the 16 processors. It also has SIMD parallelism within each processor, and it uses another level of parallelism to enable multithreading within a processor to tolerate the long global memory latencies. The loop-level program parallelism must map onto the machine in such a way as to optimize, as much as possible, the performance features of the machine. On the NVIDIA, this means mapping a loop with stride-1 memory accesses to the SIMD-level parallelism and mapping a loop that requires synchronization to the multithread-level parallelism. This step is likely very specific to each GPU or accelerator.
The fifth step is to generate the GPU code. This is more difficult than code generation for a CPU only because the GPU is less general. Otherwise, this uses standard code-generation technology. A single GPU region may generate several GPU kernels to be invoked in order from the host. Some of the code-generation goals can be different from that of a CPU. For instance, a CPU has a fixed number of registers; compilers often will use an extra register if it allows them to schedule instructions more advantageously. A GPU has a large number of registers, but it has to share them among the simultaneously active threads. We want a lot of active threads, so when one thread is busy with a global memory access, the GPU has other work to keep it busy. Using extra registers may give a better schedule for each thread, but if it reduces the number of active threads, the total performance may suffer.
The final step is to replace the kernel region on the host with device and kernel management code. Most of this will turn into library calls, allocating memory, moving data and invoking kernels.
These five steps are the same that a programmer has to perform when moving a program from a host to CUDA or Brook or other GPU-specific language. At least four of them can be mostly or fully automated, which would simplify programming greatly. Perhaps OpenCL, recently submitted by Apple to the Khronos Group for standardization, will address some of these issues.
There are some other issues that still have to be addressed. One is a policy issue. Can a user grab the GPU and hold onto it as a dedicated device? In many cases, there is only one user, so sharing the device is unimportant, but in a computing center, this issue will arise. Another issue has to do with the fixed size, nonvirtual GPU device memory. Whose job is it to split up the computation so it fits onto the GPU? A compiler can apply strip-mining to the loops in the GPU region, processing chunks of data at a time. The compiler also can use this strategy to overlap communication with computation by sending data for the next chunk while the GPU is processing the current chunk.
There are other issues that aren't addressed in this article, such as allocating data on the GPU and leaving it there for the life of a program, or managing multiple GPUs from a single host. These can all be solved in the same framework, all without requiring language extensions or wholesale program rewrites.
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.

Yummy chocolate treats to complete our goodie bag! Loved the pricing and espcially Martin's great service!
We were thrilled that you were able to help us out when we were in a jam. Another vendor had cancelled our bag order because of customer service issues and time constraints. Four days later, when we placed an order with you, we got bags we could use - a day earlier than expected. Plus they were within our budget. I have been telling everyone about this. I am so impressed with your customer service people. Should we need convention materials again, we will certianly try your site first! Thank you.
In addition to the high quality product, the turnaround time was very quick. We were very pleased.
The embossed chocolate coins came today--and they're wonderful! They look lovely and are mighty tasty. I'm anticipating we give most of them away this fall semester, and will probably have to reorder in the spring. Thanks again, Dharyl, for your help on this order.
Loved the concept of fun colors and chocolate.
I wanted larger chocolate coins but these worked just fine. Hope the minimums would be smaller/lower.
The service is great, the packaging is nice, the chocolate is mediocre and it is too costly for our purposes

What exactly is the purpose of public education? Gov. Bobby Jindal's sweeping education package has introduced a litany of policy initiatives, slogans, and ideas that have flown over the public's head faster than it did through the House and Senate education committees. As the general public literally waits for whatever falls in our collective laps, would proponents or opponents please articulate a coherent vision of the purpose of public education.

In your lifetime you may never meet a hunter who declares they are a big time teal hunter. Think about it, a big time teal hunter sounds a lot like like a big time bluegill fisherman. Or a devoted carp fly fisher. You meet goose hunters, deer hunters, elk hunters,grouse hunters, pheasant hunters, or the like. I have yet to meet someone who introduces themselves as a big time teal hunter. Too bad, because teal are a blast and I love hunting them.
Teal are fast and teal are small. Teal are quick to dodge, twisting in the wind and slicing through the decoys like few ducks can. Look at their wings as they drop in from up high, tucked back like little fighter jets. As far as ducks go, teal are reportedly not one of the fastest species. I call B.S. on that statistic. Teal may not fly the fastest 40, but they are quick when it's game time. Throw in a nice stiff breeze, say 20 mph, and the day quickly turns into the best wingshooting I know of. Divers like blue bills can rip the air like teal, but they don't dodge like their puddler brethren.
It's so satisfying to flash your barrel through a bird and connect when they make their initial supersonic pass through the dekes. It takes a good shot from a hunter to drop one. Get on him, swing through and slap that trigger and slap it again if you have to and hopefully he goes down! And when you miss you usually laugh and say, "How did he…?! I guess I was behind him." You know you're missing as you're pulling the trigger but you can't help it.
Picking a bird, or as we say "target acquisition", out of a decoying flock is usually the problem with teal.Far out from the decoys they line up so nice and straight, but as they start to break down into the spread the chaos begins.They maneuver and drop as they dump speed from their wings, cutting up and rocking side to side. It's like letting loose a giant covey of quail with a 50 mph head start over the decoys. Plus, the drake green-wings are not always an easy drake to pick out compared to other ducks. Fortunately, teal are accommodating and social, they LOVE to zip through and check out their impostor buddies.
So I'll just come on out and say it, I'm a big time teal hunter. I love 'em. Just like I love fly fishing for carp in the summer. I'll take these little guys any day of the week, especially when December and January come around.

No, actually diesel is just taken off the tower at a lower point...diesel, gasoline, lube oil, even asphalt are just a part of crude oil. Gasoline has a lot more processing by a long shot than diesel, even ULSD. I have never really seen any reason for it to be as high as it is...
I remember stopping in Tulsa back in 2001 and buying diesel for $0.78 a gallon...and in 2008 it spiked over $5 a gallon on my way to Washington state!
- - - Updated - - -
At one point it was $0.03 different, $0.87, $0.90, and $0.93...then it was $0.10 between the three for a long time. And then a few years ago it did the "spread", $0.10 for mid-grade and $0.30 for premium!!
