The Independent
A forensic examination of a computer in the basement of Thomas Biederman's Russell home revealed it may have been used to obtain information on building pipe bombs, an Ashland Police Department detective testified Friday.
Detective Gavin Patrick, who performed the search of the hard drive from the computer, one of six seized by authorities from the Biederman residence, said there was also evidence that a number of videos pertaining to pipe bombs had been watched on the machine.
Patrick was one of several law-enforcement witnesses to take the stand on the third day of Biederman's trial in Boyd Circuit Court. Biederman, 52, is charged with attempted murder and using a weapon of mass destruction in connection with a July 28, 2011, car bombing in the parking garage of the Ashland Skytower, at 12th Street and Bath Avenue. The explosion occurred after Biederman's wife, Janie, who worked for an engineering and architectural firm with offices in the Skytower, touched the brake pedal of her 2007 Ford Mustang convertible.
The blast was determined to have been caused by a pair of homemade explosive devices constructed from PVC pipe, black powder and other items and wired into the vehicle's left brake light.
The charges against Biederman are both Class B felonies that carry prison sentences of 10 to 20 years.
Under questioning by Boyd Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jason Greer, Patrick, a computer and electronic crimes specialist for the APD, testified the computer from the Biederman home had a separate log-on profile for each member of the family — Thomas and Janie Biederman and their children, Ryan and Jordan. Thomas and Janie Biederman's profiles were labeled "Dad" and "Mom," he said.
Under the profile marked "Dad," Patrick said he located a file that was, in essence, a "repository" of terms that been typed into a Google search box in a toolbar on one of the machine's Internet browsers. In that file, he said, were searches for pipe bomb detonators and pull-string detonators.
Additionally, Patrick said he located evidence of someone using the machine to perform a Bing search using the words "How to make a pipe bomb."
Patrick also testified that whoever used the computer to search for information on pipe bombs had tried to eliminate evidence of having done so by using a program called "Internet Eraser." The program was last ran on July 14, 2011, the same day as the last pipe bomb search, but after that search was performed, he said.
The pipe bomb-related videos were found in unallocated space on the computer's hard drive, Patrick said. A number of them were hosted by Bing; one was hosted by YouTube, he said.
Patrick testified he performed "cursory" examinations of the other computers taken from the defendant's home, but none turned up anything of evidentiary value.
Biederman's attorney, Michael Curtis, asked Patrick if one of those computers was a Hewlett-Packard used by Thomas Biederman for his real estate appraisal business. Patrick replied that it was.
Curtis also asked if the pipe bomb evidence on the family computer could have gotten there as the result of a virus or an "outside attack." Patrick said he wasn't aware of anything like that ever happening, but couldn't completely rule out the possibility.
Several witnesses with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives testified Friday via a video uplink to Judge George W. Davis III's courtroom. One, Allison Rees, an ATF fingerprint specialist, told jurors she had examined several pieces of evidence in the case, including electrical components, a PVC end cap, some adhesive tape and the key fob remote control to Janie Biederman's Mustang.
Rees said the only print she found on any of those items was a partial on the sticky side of some black electrical tape that came from the trunk of the Mustang. She said she compared it to sample prints from all four members of the Biederman family and was able to determine it wasn't left by Janie, Ryan or Jordan Biederman.
Rees also said that while the print might have been Thomas Biederman's, she couldn't say for certain. She said she requested a clearer set of Thomas Biederman's prints, but never received it.
APD officer Rob Brunty, the first to arrive at the scene of the blast, said one of the first things he saw when he got to the parking garage was Janie Biederman's damaged vehicle. He said he also smelled burning gunpowder, and, when he shined a flashlight on the Mustang, he said he spotted a PVC tube with wires protruding from it.
Brunty said he then went to the Skytower and went up to the 10th floor offices of Middough Consulting, where he found Jane Biederman, who worked for the firm. He also saw her husband, whom he said "seemed to be concerned" about his wife and what had transpired.
Brunty said he asked Thomas Biederman if he or his wife had any "known enemies" who might have booby-trapped her car, and he replied that none came to his mind.
The trial is scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. Monday.

July 30, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- After dealing with last summer's derecho, many are in a "better safe than sorry" state of mind.
Those who deal with emergencies are taking extra steps of caution when it comes to the possibility of severe weather.
Last year's derecho knocked down trees and power lines -- leaving two-thirds of West Virginia without power for days.
It was the storm that caught just about everybody off guard.
C.W. Sigman, Kanawha County's emergency management deputy director, got a call about an hour before the derecho hit, warning him of a bad storm coming in.
"I told him I'd never doubt him again. He was right. It was a bad storm coming," Sigman said.
Sigman wasn't the only one who treated the warning as run-of-the-mill. Now he and everybody else are better prepared.
At Kanawha County Metro 911, there are extra generators outside and extra staff inside, because dispatchers remember what it was like last year.
"It was very chaotic, just the amount of phone calls that started coming in after the storm," Capt. Paul Dryden with Metro 911 said.
Dispatchers in Calhoun County are also keeping an eye to the sky, trying to decide whether to launch the brand new code red emergency alert system.
It would send a tailored message to your landline, letting you know about the possibility of severe weather and what you need to do.
"Our most important thing is 'the first 72 are on you.' You need to be prepared to be without electricity, without running water," Julie Sears, an emergency dispatcher, said.
You can also sign up for text and e-mail alerts at: http://www.ecnetwork.com/codered/
In Putnam County, the public service district is also taking extra steps of caution.
"Last year's event is still fresh on everybody's mind -- probably more so on ours than others," John Inghram, the water quality superintendent, said.
So the PSD is filling up its backup generators to make sure clean water continues to flow to all customers.
As various agencies prepare for severe weather, they want to make sure you are prepared, too. Emergency officials say to make sure you have plenty of food, water and any medications you may need – just in case your power goes out.

Retirement Spots With Year-Round Pleasant Weather
Avoid both extreme cold and heat in these places.
In Pictures: 10 Retirement Spots With Year-Round Nice Weather
Many people dream of a retirement in which they will never again have to shovel snow or defrost a car. But at the same time, not many retirees want to swelter through or pay the air conditioning bills associated with several months' worth of 95-degree days.
To find some places with year-round pleasant weather, U.S. News used National Climatic Data Center figures to find places where the average high temperature in July is less than 90 degrees and the average low in January is above freezing (32 degrees). That's not to say these places have never had a very hot or cold day, but average temperatures generally remain within this range. Here are some places where the weather is typically nice throughout the year:
You'll find warm winters and moderate summers in the Los Angeles and Long Beach areas, where January's average lows are in the upper 40s and July's average highs are in the low 80s. "The coast of southern California, San Diego for instance, is characterized by year-round pleasant conditions," says Charles Wax, a meteorology and climatology professor at Mississippi State University and state climatologist for Mississippi. "This area is under the Mediterranean-climate type, which is a moderate climate with a summer dry period. The lack of rainfall in the summer is conducive to outdoor activities, wine-growing, and the movie and air industries."
It's cooler in the San Francisco Bay and Santa Barbara areas, where average temperatures can drop into the lower 40s in winter and hit highs in the low or mid-70s in summer. "Anywhere in California offers relatively mild winters, but the heat in the summer can vary dramatically," says Eugene Cordero, an associate professor of meteorology at San Jose State University. "For example, Sacramento or any inland place in California during the summer can often go over 100 degrees, while San Francisco can be in the 50s and 60s because of the cool clouds from the ocean." Other places with year-round pleasant weather include San Diego, Santa Maria, and Eureka.
Key West, Tampa, and Palachicola each experience an average high of 90 degrees in July. All three cities have much cooler winters, with an average January low of 65 degrees in Key West, 52 degrees in Tampa, and 43 degrees in Palachicola.
In July, Atlanta's average high is 89 degrees. During the winter, the temperature declines to an average low of 34 degrees. David Stooksbury, an associate professor of engineering and atmospheric sciences at the University of Georgia in Athens, says his current city is his first choice for a retirement spot. "Located in the northern Piedmont region of gently rolling hills, the spring and fall seasons are long and pleasant. The winters are mild with an occasional snow," says Stooksbury. "Because of the University of Georgia being located in Athens, the city has many free to inexpensive cultural and academic opportunities. With the growth of the medical program at UGA, medical options are expanding throughout the city."
If you're looking for a place to retire that has consistently pleasant weather, Hawaii is your best bet. In Honolulu, for example, temperatures ranged from an average low of 66 degrees in January to an average high of 88 degrees in July. Temperatures are also consistently pleasant in Hilo, Kahului, and Lihue. "Hawaii does have a seductive temperature range," says Gary Barnes, a meteorology professor at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. "The air has a soft and wonderful feel." However, housing prices in Hawaii reflect the pleasant climate. "I would not retire in Hawaii simply because I could not begin to afford it," says Barnes. "Cost of living wins out, unfortunately, over Hawaii's great weather."
North Carolina
Summer temperatures in Cape Hatteras hit an average high of 85 degrees in July, which offers plenty of opportunities to visit the impressive Atlantic Ocean beaches and wildlife refuge. January's average low is 39 degrees. "If I had retired in the USA, and based only on weather and leaving out the west coast, Asheville would have been my choice," says Peter Robinson, an emeritus geography professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who is now retired in the UK.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Talks aimed at hashing out a tax increment financing compromise are under way between the city of Joplin and the Joplin School District as the city's master developer pushes forward to form a TIF district for redevelopment.
The existing TIF proposal hit sticking points on Friday when the school district said it needed additional financial considerations. The school district said the TIF district, as proposed, would create revenue losses and increased costs.
"I think from our perspective we are wanting to negotiate in good faith with the school district, and, to that end, we are sending a proposal to the school district that we are optimistic meets all of the concerns and questions that the school district has raised," David Wallace, CEO of Wallace Bajjali Development Partners, Joplin's master developer for tornado recovery, said Wednesday by telephone.
"Consequently, we are hopeful that we will have an agreement in principle and that the superintendent will be able to report that to the school board on Nov. 27 and get their support in connection with this plan."
Joplin's school superintendent, C.J. Huff, said talks he believes will be productive had taken place Tuesday and Wednesday, but he did not receive an offer to settle the issue.
"We are having some real good discussions," he said. "We continue to support a proposal for potential for growth and development of the city, and we are really working hard to resolve some of these issues" that could affect the school district in the future. "Basically, we're trying to be sure to sustain the funds to provide the programs and the budget for the growth that will come along because of the redevelopment."
He said the school district hopes to receive the answers next Monday to questions it posed at a meeting last Tuesday of the city's Tax Increment Finance Commission.
Wallace would not disclose the details of the discussions regarding the sticking points that arose Friday. He said those would become public next week at public meetings.
"I respect completely the school district's position," Wallace said. He said his firm has reviewed the school district's information, "and we feel we have come up with a satisfactory solution as opposed to if the TIF were not created."
School administrators said last week they were concerned that the TIF plan would freeze the school district's assessed valuation at a post-tornado level, which is about $34 million less than it was before the May 2011 tornado. They said that would cost the school district nearly $22 million over the 23-year duration of the TIF district.
The plan calls for the TIF district's tax baseline to be set at the level after the tornado happened. The school district wants it to be set at the district's assessed valuation before the tornado, plus 1.5 percent a year for growth.
The school district had been offered $12 million in payments in lieu of taxes from the TIF district to offset losses from future growth in that assessed value.
The school district also contended that housing projects proposed in the TIF plan would bring an influx of 2,630 new students to the district, which would create a need to expand schools at a cost of more than $73 million and add $70 million in operating costs.
Wallace said his firm is looking at those numbers.
He has previously said that the housing projects that are part of the plan would replace housing based on the amount of housing that was available before the tornado. Some new housing is intended to be marketed to senior citizens or professional singles or couples who are without school-age children.
The TIF district as proposed would take in the hardest-hit section of the tornado zone, and extend north on Main Street and take in downtown. Officials say it would provide about $60 million in revenue from tax growth to help pay for $806 million in redevelopment projects, including housing, retail space, a new public library and movie theater, a minor league ballpark, and an arts and museum complex. Tax money from future increased assessments in the TIF district would be reinvested in the plan.
On Friday, Nov. 30, the TIF Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing for comments that will be considered when the City Council is called on to decide whether to adopt the proposal.
Wallace hopes to forge an agreement before then.
Public session
AN INFORMATION SESSION to explain the tax increment financing plan to the public and answer questions that residents may have is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 602 S. Main St.

LONDON - Malala Yousufzai, the schoolgirl and women's rights activist from Pakistan who was shot in the head by the Taliban and subsequently flown to the United Kingdom for treatment, has been discharged from Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the hospital said Friday.
Yousufzai was discharged on Thursday but will be re-admitted in late January or early February for reconstructive surgery to her skull, the hospital said.
"Malala is a strong young woman and has worked hard with the people caring for her to make excellent progress in her recovery," said Dave Rosser, medical director of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. "Following discussions with Malala and her medical team, we decided that she would benefit from being at home with her parents and two brothers."
Yousufzai, now 15, was shot and wounded on her way home from school in October last year. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the shooting, saying she was promoting "Western thinking."
Earlier this week, Yousufzai's father was given a diplomatic post in the U.K. Ziauddin Yousufzai has been appointed Pakistan's education attaché in Birmingham, The Associated Press reported.
Malala Yousufzai was shortlisted for Time magazine's "Person of the Year" in 2012.

I write from the left on politics and policy.
It turns out that being a good corporate citizen is as important to selling pizzas as the thinness of the crust or the quality of the cheese.
If you don't believe it, just ask Papa John CEO, John Schnatter.
As covered—and criticized—in this column in great detail, Mr. Schnatter decided to mix his politics with his pepperoni when suggesting that he would be cutting the work hours for Papa John employees in order to bring them below the 30 hour per week threshold that would require Schnatter to provide his employees with healthcare benefits.
It turns out, the pizza eating public did not approve.
Indeed, so serious was the reaction that Schnatter was forced to publish an op-ed piece where he sought to convince us that he never really intended to cut back worker hours but had simply been speculating on what he might do in response to the legislation.
According to YouGov BrandIndex, a leading marketing survey that measures brand perception in the marketplace (called "Buzz"), Papa John's had good reason for concern as the pizza chain's brand identity has plummeted from a high of 32 on election day, to a remarkably low score of 4 among adults who have eaten at causal dining restaurants during the past month.
Papa John is not alone in his anti-Obamacare misery.
Fast food server, Applebee's, possessed a healthy Buzz score of 35 before Zane Terkel, CEO of one of the company's largest franchisees, appeared on television to complain about the law and to announce that he would not be building more restaurants or hiring any more workers in response to his objections to Obamacare.
Applebee's "pre-Terkel" Buzz score of 35 now sits at a pathetic 5.
I don't imagine Mr. Terkel will be getting many Christmas cards this year from other Applebee's franchise owners.
While these corporate complainers have sought to explain away the hit they are experiencing at the hands of the public's perception, one such company is facing the music straight on. Darden Restaurants, Inc.— owner of Olive Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse—has lowered its profit projections for the quarter ending November 25th, acknowledging that its bad numbers are the result of poorly performing promotions, Superstorm Sandy and…wait for it…the poor publicity it engendered by its decision to test out a plan to cut back on healthcare costs by putting more workers on part-time schedules.
Check out these rather epic declines:
Hopefully, other businesses seeking to avoid their responsibilities under the healthcare law—such as Walmart who intends to cut back employee hours in the effort to push workers onto Medicaid rolls rather than take responsibility for their employees' health care—will get the message.

You have taken your position and seem to be blind as to what is really going on. Our present circumstance did not happen over night. It has taken years but, the federal government becoming more involved in education has reduced the end product. The liberal thinkers dominate colleges and much of our media. We are now told only what government wants us to hear. If all of us came to our conclusions based on what is reported, (accepting it as truth), we would support our own demise. Please remember your reply and think back on it in 3 or 4 more years. Our country can survive one leader, not a general public that follows blindly.
Ideologues (particularly those whose beliefs and opinions aren't perceived–by themselves–as being as successful as they had hoped and believed they SHOULD be) have to have a rationale as to why their ideology is not as successful as it should be.
The problem is obviously NOT with the idea or ideology itself–the Truth (and the T here is intentional) of the ideology should be manifest even to the most casual observer. It is not an issue of whether or not the philosophy or ideology is correct–because it IS correct–after all, it's MY ideology.
This means (in simple terms) that it is one of two problems. Either everyone who doesn't share my belief/ideology is an idiot or they are being misinformed and misled. So the choices are idiocy or Vast Conspiracy.
Idiocy is a bad choice to make if you want people to go along with your ideas, because insulting them to their face is usually not a good strategy for gathering agreement…. but there is a segment of people (right and left) who go this route… and then wonder why people don't like them or change their minds.
This kind of leaves Vast Conspiracy. It lets your opponents somewhat off the hook (they are foolish for being misled, but there IS hope for them, if only they can receive the Message). The thing is, the message is out there, often highly visible–and yet people still do not Believe.
So we flip back to idiocy, because, at that point, they MUST be idiots.
Unless you can reflect critically upon your beliefs and allow your beliefs to be shaped by data and the facts on the ground, then you aren't thinking, you are just parroting the words and ideas of another. A tape recorder can do just as well. Lack of thought and of self-reflection is, in my book, one of the cardinal sins and the source of many problems.
Many people also have a rather shaky idea of how powerful the Federal Government can be or of how effective/powerful members of that government (particularly the President) can be. One of the things that feeds into that misconception is the actual election process and the hyperbole that accompanies it.
Here's a newsflash: one of the primary design goals of the US government is INERTIA. The inertia is purposeful, structural and exists as a protection. Law and regulation usually lag social structures and represent compromises of one form or another, so that minorities are protected (this was important to the Founding Fathers because THEY were members of a minority–and they certainly weren't democratically inclined, as we define democracy these days).
As Rick says, the administration of any one president (be it one or two terms) isn't going to destroy the country… even if he was the rabid left-wing extremist he is often portrayed to be rather than the center right politician he actually is, in practice.
Take a good look at the size of the deficit and see if you are so sanguine. If the economy stagnates and tax revenues aren't what was expected, it is possible the federal government won't be able to borrow any more – it will be bankrupt and insolvent. And that can happen very quickly; 'creditworthy' is a perception and can change in the blink of an eye (see Wall St. Oct. 2008).
If that happens, the reserve currency of the world will collapse, creating unthinkable havoc in world markets. The dollar will devalue, and oil will be priced in some other currency, at which point its price in dollars will skyrocket, making it unaffordable. Not that it will matter – no one will have a jobe to go to.
Obama has presided over the largest expansion of debt in world history – and don't insult your readers by repeating that utter crap about him being the smallest spender since Eisenhower (I really question your integrity for leaving that post up when the article on which it was based has been discredited. Does Forbes forbid you to take it down? Or do all those click$ provide incentive enough for perpetuating lies?). The size of that debt is staggering, and it is increasing rapidly – even the naive people who lost their 'subprime' homes have learned what can happen. That entire episode will look like a party popper compared to a 100 megaton thermonuclear bomb if the government goes broke. The S&P downgrade of federal debt was a first warning; recent moves by a foreign government to reduce dollar exposure in its domestic holdings is another.
And you, Mr. Ungar, are kidding yourself if you think it can't happen. It is the de facto obligation of the US to maintain the financial backbone of the world, a responsibility on a scale that is hard to conceive of. But it is ours, and it is the solemn duty of the US to shoulder it. Spending borrowed dollars on the scale of the administration is treating with that nuke like a basketball. Engaging in the anti-business policies of this government is choking off new revenues and growth, the only real source of new monies.
I do not understand why business owners would not be 100% for Universal Health Care.
If every American could be on Tri-Care or Medicare then businesses would not have to spend one minute on finding a group policy for their workers, nor take the bookkeeping hours to maintain and pay for the policy each month. The business owner would have the freedom to concentrate only on running the business and they would have the peace of mind that their employees had the opportunities to be healthy.
I also think more people would start up businesses if their healthcare was not so expensive. I am not willing to take the risk of being ill without healthcare coverage. No one should have to file bankruptcy because of medical bills.
Yes, it would raise taxes but we're already paying premiums for the policies we buy. And we really do pay for all the people who do not have healthcare now. It would be strange if after the numbers are run it may cost us less. After all insurance companies negotiate lower prices so certainly the government can negotiate lower healthcare and prescription costs as well. I actually think we would all be better off.
And to keep Health Insurance companies in business they could sell supplemental policies to individuals who want 100% coverage for all health problems. Medicare only pays 80%. Also this would do away with Medicaid.
The problem we have with governmental entitlements is essentially fraud. The remedy for that would be strict penalties such as loss of Social Security and Medicare/Tri-Care benefits for individuals found guilty of governmental fraud. The person would still have to pay into these programs but they could not receive benefits from the programs. It's their choice if they want to break the law.
"I also think more people would start up businesses…"
Andrew, employers don't WANT their best workers to go off and start lean new companies to compete with them. Often taking their customers along.
That would result in a highly competitive business environment like we see in Scandinavia and Germany. High numbers of startups and high turnover of companies. The extra premium they got to pay for healthcare means their best emplyees, those past their twenties, with skills, experience and dependents, stay put.
A nice, cosy business environemnt where you can be a bit of a low performer is much more comfortable for a company, even as it is less good for a country.
"Yes, it would raise taxes…"
Actually, Americans pay more in taxes for government health care than most Europeans. Even if only the most expensive third of the US population actually gets healthcare, the costs of running so many systems in paralell, medicare, medicaid, VHA, etc plus all the gatekeepers and billing, makes it cost more than UHC does -at the moment!
What happened here, unfortunately, these corporations went after people's jobs, employee's job security, instead of finding another way to demonstrate against Obamacare. And the American consumer took it personally as if it was an attack to them…
If consumers responded to WalMart's treatment of their employees in the manner they responded to Papa John's and Appleby's, WalMart would be forced to reconsider their policies. Not until loud and clear messages from consumers are sent to these employers, will any positive changes occur. Money talks!!
serves (;)) them right!! I mean, get a load of this: These are BILLIONAIRES and they're complaining bitterly because they might make a couple of million LESS. but they don't give a rats a…. about the minimum wage SLAVES (and I do mean slaves) who stand to lose their health care. The freakish part is of course when a sizable group of the under 50,000 buck earners stands up and DEFEND the greed of billionaires.
All this definitely leads to the inevitable conclusion that America for sure has Soviet Russia beat in brain washing their own population.
The Russians can rightly claim that at least THEY have stopped believing in fairy tales …..

John Kander-Greg Pierce Musical The Landing and Nicky Silver's Too Much Sun Will Be Part of Vineyard Season
By Andrew Gans
Off-Broadway's award-winning Vineyard Theatre has announced two of its mainstage productions for the 2013-14 season: the world premiere of the new John Kander and Greg Pierce musical The Landing and the world premiere of Nicky Silver's play Too Much Sun.
Walter Bobbie will direct the musical; Mark Brokaw will direct the Silver play. Another mainstage and lab production will be announced shortly.
The Landing, featuring music by Tony-winning composer Kander and book and lyrics by Pierce, will kick off the season; performance dates will be announced at a later time. The musical, which received a Vineyard lab production last spring, is a "beautiful and haunting new work, consists of three related musical tales of love, loss, obsession, heartbreak… and what it means to get what you think you want," according to press notes.
In spring 2014 the Vineyard will present the Silver work, which is described as "the stirring and funny story of a celebrated actress who, at a time of crisis, with nowhere else to go, descends upon her daughter and son-in-law for a summer by the sea. Her arrival sets off a chain of events alternately comical and harrowing."
The Vineyard's current season continues with the world premiere of Jenny Schwartz's play Somewhere Fun, directed by Anne Kauffman, with previews starting May 15 prior to a June 4 opening night.
The Vineyard Theatre, which is dedicated to the "creation and production of daring new plays and musicals," has been one of the nation's leading non-profit theatre companies for 30 years.
The Vineyard Theatre's leadership includes Douglas Aibel (artistic director), Sarah Stern (co-artistic director), Jennifer Garvey-Blackwell (executive producer) and Michael Page (general manager).

Reggae Rising In India
Julian Marley's first trip to India saw him bring some 'fyah' to the stage as he played to a packed venue in Goa Every once in a while, a musician will come along and change the face of the music he chooses to play. For reggae music, that man was Bob Marley. More than 30 years after his death, his music still lives on. One of the reasons for this, however, is the fact that some of his sons — most notably Ziggy, Stephen, Julian and Damian Marley — continue to be established musicians, and are keeping the Marley legacy alive by performing their father's songs.

Department of Player Safety hands down ruling on player with total of 7:47 TOI in National Hockey League action
NHL Director of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan rules on Detroit's Kyle Quincey; elbow high to the head of Florida's Tomas Kopecky on 4/1/12 draws a one-game suspension.
A result of the Artyukhin hit on Saturday. Pelts had 8g-12a-20p +12 in 44 games on the season. I don't wish to be more of an alarmist than I usually tend to be, but wanna see how important his presence has been? Lookie here: Since January 3rd, he's put away 4g-3a-7p +7 in a tick under seven games (he missed the third period against Tampa Bay). Amazingly, none of his points during that stretch were achieved on the power play. The Panthers have not lost in regulation in that time, going 5-0-2.

Ronald Bruce Simpson, 74, lost his battle with cancer on December 24, 2011.
Ron was born on August 4, 1937, in Cashmere, Wash. to Orwan and Barbara Simpson. Ron's very early years were spent in the Cashmere area.
In 1943 the family moved to Anchorage, where Orwan, Ron's father found work. In 1948 the family moved back to Cashmere, as Ron's sister Sondra needed medical attention. The family resided there through Ron's school years. He graduated from Cashmere High School, working at various jobs in the valley. He worked in the fruit industry, lumber company and then moved to the Seattle area working for Seattle Marine, then on to B&J Industrial.
Working for B&J, he became their top sales man. His company sold tools and fishing and logging supplies. His territory took in the Pacific Northwest and the State of Alaska. His favorite area was Southeast Alaska. Ron's parents had a fish buying scow the Nefco XI. It was anchored in Gedney Harbor and bought troll fish. Ron would spend his summer vacations on the scow with daughter Rhonda and his parents helping in the very busy seasons.
Ron met, and had many friends in Petersburg through his parents and business associates. In 1978 he met Patty Parr, the catch of his life. He retired from B&J after 16 years and moved to Petersburg to be with his biggest catch.
Ron worked at several different jobs. He worked for Icicle Seafoods and the City of Petersburg (Water and Treatment plant). Ron's last position was with AML as a commercial truck driver. He retired from AML after 12 years in 1999.
After retirement Ron and Patty spent some great years together doing things he loved to do; boating, fishing, hunting and traveling. They made trips to Australia, Mexico and covered most of the U.S. Ron was an avid reader and very knowledgeable on many topics. In November of 2010 and all through 2011 Ron and Patty commuted to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Ariz. for medical treatment.
Ron is survived by his wife Patty; his sister Sondra and husband Mike Strutzel; daughter Rhonda and husband Tim Kingwell; son Hunt Parr and wife Robin, daughter Debe Somerville; grandchildren John and Andrew Kingwell, Hunt and Austin Parr, Stacie Wilson and Kevin Sommerville.

If you could have one firearm (that's realistically available) to protect yourself, your family and your assets, what would it be and why? Here are 10 choices made by some of the editors and contributors in NRA Publications. What would you choose? Let us know.

This silly game always elicits a lot of response, but...here goes. The purpose of the SHTF gun is to keep you alive long enough for law and order to be re-established. Not to fight 'enemy' troops. You need a gun that will feed you and be adequate for personal defense if needed. To this end I suggest a Savage 24F combination gun in .30-30/12 gauge. Ammunition can be had at any wrecked Wal-Mart or Mom & Pop cross roads store, it will kill anything in North America with two feet or four, skin, fur, or feathers, is dirt-simple to repair or maintain thanks to the design of its action, and there are innumerable adapters that can be used to shoot other calibers. With a few adapters a 24F will shoot: .32 ACP, .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .30 Carbine, .410, 20 gauge, etc., and you can find an adapter in any conceivable caliber such as .22 LR, .22 Magnum, .223, .45 ACP, and 9mm etc., if you want one. If I could have another gun it would be a Ruger single action revolver in .357 with a spare cylinder in 9mm, for obvious reasons. If you can't survive with this setup, you can't survive.

We know who to talk to, where to find answers, and what steps you need to take. Let us put our 30 years of experience to work for you. Military plane and helicopter crashes kill dozens of armed forces members each year. Many of these crashes could have been prevented. Some result from the use of old aircraft that were unfit for service, others from new aircraft with a design defect. In other cases there are gross lapses of safety procedures or pilots with inadequate training.
Military Service Personnel (Active Duty, Reservists, and National Guard) are severely restricted in taking legal action against the government. However, lawsuits may be brought against the manufacturers of military aircraft.
Private citizens injured by military aircraft can sue the government under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The Act allows the United States to be sued "as if it were a private person," for the negligent acts or omissions of its employees. Under the Act the victim must file a claim with the responsible agency within two years of the injury, among other requirements.

A film about Jay Moriarity -- the surfer who took on the big waves at Mavericks while a teenager living in Santa Cruz and who later died tragically while diving in the Maldives Islands in 2001 -- is supposedly in the works, according to Los Angeles-based Variety Magazine.
On Friday, the entertainment industry news source published an article reporting that the film is a production of Walden Media, and that actor Gerard Butler will play Moriarity with Curtis Hanson ("LA Confidential," "8 Mile") on board to direct. The film will begin production in October, the article discloses.
The Mavericks surf break is located less than a mile past just outside of Half Moon Bay in Princeton, and is recognized by surfers as one of the most challenging big waves in the world.
Many Mavericks surfers have of Moriarity for his positive spirit and lifestyle, which they said led to the Half Moon Bay Surf Group to rename the 2010-2011 Mavericks surfing contest The Jay At Mavericks Big Wave Invitational after they took control of the event last fall.
"To be standing with all you here is an honor, and Jay is what surfing is all about ... he had a smile on his face and he was super stoked," said reigning contest champion Chris Bertish from South Africa last November while standing on the beach adjacent to Mavericks at the for this year's contest.
This year, the contest can be held anytime between Dec. 1, 2010 to Feb. 28, 2011 -- at a time when the invited competitors and official surf forecaster feel the waves are at a high enough level befitting of the prestigious nature of the competition. As in past years, competitors will have just 48 hours notice to arrive in Half Moon Bay. At the time of publication on Feb. 14, the contest has not been called. A contest has not been held every year since its inaugural year in 1999; most recently, the Mavericks waves were not deemed high enough to surf in 2008-2009.
Last October, longtime organizer Mavericks Surf Ventures was ousted from running the contest based on a by the commissioners, a body with governing power over the Oyster Point Marina in South San Francisco and Pillar Point Harbor.
Mavericks surfers and the Half Moon Bay Surf Group could not be reached for comment on this story at the time of publication.

Cuomo Proposes Big Boost in Aid to Rocky Point Schools
While state aid numbers show that
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year show a relatively big boost in aid to Rocky Point School District, the impact on the district's budget remains unclear as district administrators continue to discuss revenue projections for the upcoming school year.
According to numbers released by Cuomo's office, RPSD is in line for a 7.3 percent increase in state aid, or $1.67 million more than last year. The district, numbers show, would receive $24.5 million next year over last year's total of $22.8 million.

The Daily Star
---- — The rock 'n' roll stylings of Chicago will be coming to the Wright National Soccer Campus in Oneonta on July 1 for the annual Hospice Celebrity Party.
"We are extremely excited to be able to offer our supporters Chicago" for this year's fundraiser for the Catskill Area Hospice and Palliative Care, director of development and marketing Bob Escher said.
During its 45-year history, the band has had 21 Top-10 singles, including "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" "Beginnings," and "Make Me Smile," according to its website.
The doors will open at 5 p.m., with food, beverages, silent and live auctions and formalities including the awards from the morning Hospice golf tournament, until about 8 p.m. The band is expected to take the stage around 8:30 p.m., Escher said.
There are three levels of tickets. The all-inclusive, $195 tickets include food, open bar and table seating; the $125 level includes a one-hour open bar, food and table seating; and $39.50 are available for access to the concert, with concessions available.
The booking was recently confirmed, so the information is not on the website, Escher said. The day will start with a golf tournament at the Leatherstocking Golf Course in Cooperstown.
Celebrities on hand will include Oneonta High School graduate Mark May, who will bring other ESPN personnel to participate. More celebrities will be confirmed as plans are finalized.
Hospice volunteer Craig Gelbsman is once again responsible for getting a nationally known act for the event. As owner of Rage Productions, the Oneonta resident has brought acts such as Foreigner and the Doobie Brothers to the Hospice event in recent years.
Chicago will continue the classic rock sound that has been successful at the fundraisers, Gelbsman said. He got involved with helping sponsor the fundraiser, when it was just a golf tournament, about 15 years ago. The concerts were a way to take the fundraising to the next level, he said. It has been good for Hospice and for the area, opening it up to a lot of entertainment possibilities, he said.
"We wouldn't be able to do it without him," Escher said about Gelbsman's efforts. This will be the event's second year at the former Soccer Hall of Fame campus — having outgrown its previous site at Brewery Ommegang, Escher said. This has allowed it to expand and offer seating at various levels, and helps bring in more support from outside the area, he said.
Presale for returning customers and fan club members is from April 4 to 11, with ticket sales for the general public starting April 12 at www.cahpc.org or by calling 432-6773 or Ticketmaster.

Thread: A document has emerged showing Obama favored gay marriage in 1996 and would fight efforts to prohibit it
A document has emerged showing Obama favored gay marriage in 1996 and would fight efforts to prohibit it
A document has emerged suggesting that Obama had taken more public, liberal stands in the past than had been revealed in the digging of reporters and opposition researchers over two years of campaigning, the latest of several pointing to a rightward shift as he moved into national politics.
In a 1996 questionnaire filled out for a Chicago gay and lesbian newspaper, then called Outlines, Obama came out clearly in favor of same-sex marriage, which he has opposed on the public record throughout his short career in national politics.
I favor legalizing same-sex marriages,and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages, Obama wrote in the typed, signed, statement.
There was no use of civil unions, and "no compromise whatsoever," the Windy City Times story today notes.
On another questionnaire the same year, Obama said he would support a resolution in support of same-sex marriage.
The editor of the Windy City Times, a successor of Outlines, Tracy Baim, said she hadn't deliberately held onto the news until after Obama's election. Baim, who had been the editor of Outlines at the time, said that just before the election, she ran across the old Outline story saying Obama backed same-sex marriage, but only dug his forgotten questionaire out of an old box this week, having assumed that she'd lost it.
Obama now says he opposes same-sex marriage, though he backs giving gays and lesbians a parallel package of marriage-like rights, and opposes a federal ban on same-sex marriage.
Good for him."If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking." -Gen. George S. Patton
That's way down on my give a shit list. Some of my right wing friends are just turning themselves inside out at the thought of it. Frankly, I don't much care what anyone else does as long as it doesn't cause problems for me or my family. And I can't possibly see how two people getting married, no matter what their sex can have the slightest effect on me.When I used to be somebody (I'm center top)

Nothing like a civil function controlled by a religious body involved with a government to muck things up, eh?
Marriage is a religious function.
Civil unions are a civil contract between parties, often tied to love and money, or at least just money.
The government has no business in either.

Videos: Electric Guitar covers recorded on Nokia 808 PureView #RichRecording
Check out these videos by Joseph Periappuram. This is just an everyday, bedroom style recording of him playing his guitar recorded on the Nokia 808 PureView.
But it doesn't sound like a plain old, harsh, tinny, scratchy home video recording (especially not from a phone!). Note how close the camera is to the amp and all.

The 808 can make even a Line 6 and a BC Rich sound good…
It is Rich Recording so it is made to record B.C. Rich.
Hey buddy. BC Rich's are not that bas as people put them out to be. I own a Special edition IT Beast, and the tone is killer! I use it for all my shows. I will be honest. The stock pick ups are tripe!
That articular B.C. Rich is entry level, and all Line 7 Amps are. That recording is as true rp life as could be. Superb.
The 808 seems to be about 6-12 inches from from the amp, right where you would put a mic for recording an modeling
I can play better than him ! ^^
thank you for noticing

Epicureanism was one of the major philosophical systems of the Hellenistic world. It provided a systematic account of the nature of the world and our place in it, how we can come to know the world, and how we can attain happiness. Founded by Epicurus of Samos (c.341–270 BCE) the Epicurean school of philosophy flourished for hundreds of years after Epicurus' death, and its rediscovery helped shape the scientific revolution.
This clear and engaging introduction provides lucid exposition of the central tenets of Epicurus' philosophy. Part 1 of the book examines the fundamentals of Epicurus' metaphysics, including atoms, cosmology, mechanistic biology, the nature and functioning of the mind, and death. Part 2 explores Epicurus' epistemology, including his arguments against scepticism and his ideas on sensations, preconceptions and feelings. The third and final part deals with Epicurus' ethics, exploring his arguments for hedonism, his distinctive conceptions of types of pleasure and desire, his belief in virtue, and his notions of justice and friendship.
Tim O'Keefe explores the arguments supporting Epicurus' positions, indicating their strengths and weaknesses, while showing how they connect to other parts of his philosophy and how Epicureanism hangs together as a whole. Particular stress is placed on those features that have enduring philosophical interest and which parallel debates in contemporary philosophy. O'Keefe shows Epicurus to be a philosopher of the highest order and that even after two millennia grappling with his ideas continues to reward study.
"This is a splendid book. As an introduction to all aspects of ancient Epicureanism, addressed to a general readership with an interest in the history of philosophy, I cannot imagine anything better. I shall recommend it to students and colleagues as the first place to go for an engaging, clear, thoughtful, and informed overview of the subject. . . a small masterpiece." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"This will be a very useful textbook for those teaching Epicureanism. O'Keefe offers lucid and readable accounts of Epicurean physics, epistemology, and ethics. As well as providing a reliable overview of the main Epicurean ideas, he also aims to bring out their continuing philosophical interest. Although O'Keefe offers an independent analysis of Epicurean theory, he refers freely to the main primary sources and comments in the introduction on the texts that students can usefully read in conjunction with this book. While explicit scholarly controversy is avoided, the treatment is informed by debate in recent scholarship, and the notes refer to a number of important discussions." – Phronesis
"The tone is lively and engaging and just right for an undergraduate audience. The use of primary sources is light but accurate and the emphasis is squarely and rightly on the consideration of Epicureanism as a focus for philosophical argument." – James Warren, University of Cambridge
Tim O'Keefe is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Georgia State University, USA.

text: I recently noticed that my speakers were sounding off. A little trial and error and I realized that the stereo tweeter in my right channel speaker was not working. It is not blown as I switched it out with the dimesional speaker that is working and it worked in it's place. It seems to me that there must be some sort of crossover problem. Any suggestions of other things to check?

Author Biography | Interview | Books by this Author | Readalikes
Alice Hoffman was born in New York City on March 16, 1952 and grew up on Long
Island. After graduating from high school in 1969, she attended Adelphi
University, from which she received a BA, and then received a Mirrellees
Fellowship to the Stanford University Creative Writing Center, which she
attended in 1973 and 74, receiving an MA in creative writing. She currently
lives in Boston and New York.
Hoffman's first novel, Property Of, was written at the age of twenty-one, while she was studying at Stanford, and published shortly thereafter by Farrar Straus and Giroux. She credits her mentor, professor and writer Albert J. Guerard, and his wife, the writer Maclin Bocock Guerard, for helping her to publish her first short story in the magazine Fiction. Editor Ted Solotaroff then contacted her to ask if she had a novel, at which point she quickly began to write what was to become Property Of, a section of which was published in Mr. Solotaroff's magazine, American Review.
Since that remarkable beginning, Alice Hoffman has become one of our most distinguished novelists. She has published over twenty novels, two books of short fiction, and ten books for children and young adults. Her novel, Here on Earth, an Oprah Book Club choice, was a modern reworking of some of the themes of Emily Bronte's masterpiece Wuthering Heights. Practical Magic was made into a Warner film starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Her novel, At Risk, which concerns a family dealing with AIDS, can be found on the reading lists of many universities, colleges and secondary schools. Hoffman's advance from Local Girls, a collection of inter-related fictions about love and loss on Long Island, was donated to help create the Hoffman Breast Center at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA. Blackbird House is a book of stories centering around an old farm on Cape Cod.
Hoffman's more recent books include Aquamarine and Indigo, novels for pre-teens, and The New York Times bestsellers The River King, Blue Diary, The Probable Future, and The Ice Queen. Green Angel, a post-apocalyptic fairy tale about loss and love, was published by Scholastic and The Foretelling, a book about an Amazon girl in the Bronze Age, was published by Little Brown. In 2007 Little Brown published the teen novel Incantation, a story about hidden Jews during the Spanish Inquisition, which Publishers Weekly has chosen as one of the best books of the year. In January 2007, Skylight Confessions, a novel about one family's secret history, was released on the 30th anniversary of the publication of Hoffman's first novel.
Hoffman's work has been published in more than twenty translations and more than one hundred foreign editions. Her novels have received mention as notable books of the year by The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, The Los Angeles Times, Library Journal, and People Magazine. She has also worked as a screenwriter and is the author of the original screenplay Independence Day, a film starring Kathleen Quinlan and Diane Wiest. Her short fiction and non-fiction have appeared in The New York Times, The Boston Globe Magazine, Kenyon Review, Redbook, Architectural Digest, Gourmet, Self, and other magazines. Her teen novel Aquamarine was made into a film starring Emma Roberts in 2006.

A note about the biographies
We try to keep BookBrowse's biographies both up to date and accurate. However, with over 2500 lives to keep track of it's inevitable that some won't be as current or as complete as we would like. So, please help us - if the information about a particular author is out of date, inaccurate or simply very short, and you know of a more complete source, please let us know. Authors and those connected with authors: If you wish to make changes to your bio, please send your complete biography as you would like it displayed so that we can replace the old with the new.
In the short video below, Alice Hoffman talks about her personal reasons for writing The Dovekeepers (2012), and in a written interview she talks about her collection Blackbird House (2005), a series of interconnected short stories set in one Cape Cod house over a period of centuries.
Alice Hoffman discusses the inspirational and deeply personal reasons she wrote The Dovekeepers
Alice Hoffman on Blackbird House
Jennifer Morgan Gray: Why did you decide to construct Blackbird House
as interweaving stories in lieu of a more straightforward narrative
structure? Was it liberating to write in so many different points of view? What
were the challenges of this framework?
Alice Hoffman: The book began after The Boston Globe asked me to write a short story set on the Cape in the summer. Once I wrote the initial story, I was interested in what else might have happened at the old farm I'd written about. It was great fun and very liberating to pick and choose time periods and characters over several centuries. Rather than being a challenge, it was a pleasure to work with the format of linked stories. I love to read them, and I love to write them. It's wonderful to move through time and space.

The ship seems to need some slight updating, but is still well functioning. No odd smells or torn carpets etc. Staff was constantly cleaning something somewhere. Always said hello etc.
Windjammer Food did not impress me much, seemed to be overcrowded in there and the food was "cafeteria" quality in my personal opinion.
Royal Promenade was very nicely decorated. No complaints. The bar tenders in the Weekend Warrior bar, Andre and Vladimir, were great. Fun to talk with, made great drinks and very people friendly.
Didn't seem many shows, the ones we did were the one comedian and the Broadway musicals. Both were awesome.
Main Dining Room: The first 2 nights service was awful. Took quite awhile to be served but our waiter Ronald was very apologetic and he definitely impressed us the other nights, having our drinks there on table already and very informative. Our wine/bread/assistant waiter was Muhammad and he was such a sweetheart. One night i was not feeling well and he brought me over tea and bread and was very helpful. The food was great. Not much complaint there. I highly suggest the warm chocolate cake dessert! Wish they had this every night.
Room Service: We did use it often. Delivered within 20 minutes usually. Food was always hot and well cooked. No complaints. We tipped the person bringing room service.
The first 2 and last 2 days at sea were very cold, given the time of year. Seas were so rough the last 2 days home, they had to drain the water from the pools.
Disembarkation was a breeze. Literally all of 20 minutes. It was great!
Overall a very enjoyable time. Would definitely go on this ship again.
