1/2 price!
Parking spaces are wide, garage is very bright (lots of natural light coming in), clean, easy check in and check out.
Facility was clean and well lighted. Convenient to Theater District and the Loop.
very good
I liked the location in proximity to the Cadillac Palace Theater. The instructions could have been clearer to have the ticket # available along with the Park Whiz reservation number. It led to some confusion at the exit gate when I spoke with an assistant. Other than that it's fine.
nice and clean, safe

A pesticide used to help coat corn was found in each sample of dead and dying bees.
More clues have been found in the case of the disappearing honey bees.Powdery waste blown off from seed planters was found to contain up to 700,000 times the bee's lethal dosage of neonicotinoid insecticides in a Purdue University study. The study also found the insecticides clothianidin and thiamethoxam in dead bees laying in and around hives in Indiana.
"We know that these insecticides are highly toxic to bees; we found them in each sample of dead and dying bees," said Christian Krupke, associate professor of entomology at Purdue and a co-author of the study published in PloS One, in a press release. http://news.discovery.com/earth/pesticide-bee-collapse-120111.html#mkcpgn=rssnws1

Did Justin Bieber Diss Mariah Carey?by Free Britney at .
Wow. We sure hope Nick Cannon is sitting down before he reads this.
If The Sun (UK) is to be believed, 10-year-old singer Justin Bieber unexpectedly lashed out at Mariah Carey during an otherwise normal interview with the paper.
While praising Justin Timberlake, Rihanna and Beyoncé, he didn't mince words when it came to Mimi. "I don't love her new music, it's not the same," he said.
"It's like Michael Jordan coming back to the NBA. She is past her best."
Snap. Looks like someone's publicist is gonna be working overtime ... or already did. The quote and any mention of Carey has since been removed. Suspicious!
Justin Bieber likened Mariah Carey to the Washington Wizards iteration of Michael Jordan. Possibly. The origin of the prepubescent star's Carey quote is debatable.
Could Bieber have a cleaner on retainer to fix his verbal gaffes (like saying Miley Cyrus isn't his type)? Could the reporter have made that up and later been called out?
We may never know. But we're going to go ahead and officially say we think he said it, because look at him. He's a little hothead, you can just tell. What a frickin' punk.

Thousands of websites are blacklisted on a daily basis. Many of these blacklisted websites are legitimate businesses, online portals, academic sites, entertainment outlets and more.
the blacklisting often occurs as a result of the sites getting hacked and having malicious code injected without the permission of the websites' owners. In this article we provide some best practices to help website owners stay safe and stay off blacklists—like Google's Safe Browsing blacklist.
Why do sites end up on blacklists?
Malicious hackers and automated bots infect websites with malicious computer code (i.e., web malware). Security companies, search engines, browser manufacturers, and others will prevent or deter users from visiting these compromised sites in order to protect those sites' visitors. Hacked websites may also be used to launch spam and phishing campaigns.
For example, a compromised site might try to convince Internet users to visit a fake banking page, buy pharmaceuticals, or something similar. This can cause sites to be blacklisted, too.
How do sites get hacked?
Websites can get hacked and compromised in many ways. Below are some of the primary methods.
- Poor choice of passwords. A lot of website owners use simple passwords. In a 2011 large-scale password analysis study, "123456″ was found to be one of the most common passwords used. Choosing weak passwords leaves webmasters vulnerable to brute force attacks, where criminals try to log in using tools that try every easy-to-guess password.
- Insecure FTP connections. Many sites are infected after the FTP password and username are sniffed by a silent Trojan/rootkit that has been installed on the computer of a website administrator. Once a username and password are obtained, they're automatically passed on to a master controller (e.g., through an IRC chat room). This malicious actor accesses the website and infects the site with malware.
- Web application vulnerabilities. A lot of websites use Web 2.0 functionality in order to create a rich experience for users.This functionality takes many forms: posting comments (on blogs or Facebook, for example), signing up for newsletters, filling out support forms, and live chatting with others, to name a few.The applications that make these rich functionalities possible can all be avenues for malicious code injection, especially if they are not kept up to date.
- Third party add-ons. Third party add-ons for websites have become extremely popular for their ability to provide more interesting site functionality. Add-ons can offer functions like dynamic IP geolocation, image resizing, and much more.These third party pieces of code may harbor vulnerabilities that the original website owner may not even be aware of. Many webmasters might not realize that third party add-ons need to be updated in addition to software like WordPress or Joomla.
- Server level vulnerabilities. A large number of web servers on the Internet run vulnerable software, such as easily hackable FTP software. Sometimes, even though website and server administrators know about vulnerabilities in the server software, they forget to patch these security holes—leaving them vulnerable to hacks. These issues are primarily related to server setup and configuration. Improper permissions settings can give malicious hackers access to files they shouldn't be able to get to.
Essential tips to protect your website:
- Never store credentials, like your FTP password, on your local PC.
- Use strong passwords and try to set up difficult-to-guess usernames (such as "av21bx" instead of "Alex").
- If you use FTP, consider switching to a more secure solution, like ssh/SCP/SFTP.
- Make sure to check your website frequently for web application vulnerabilities and malicious code. Vigilance can protect your visitors.
- Install only reputable plugins.
- Make a list of all third party plugins you use, and be sure to update them regularly. Both the software you use to run your website and all your plugins should be kept current!
- Set appropriate file permissions on your web server.
- Make sure you regularly scan your local PC with at least one, and preferably more than one, antivirus engine. Antivirus software for your PC won't detect website infections, but using an infected local machine can cause a website to become infected, so it's important to protect your PC, too!

DAR MuseumPeriod Rooms
The Kentucky room represents an 1830 to 1840s parlor. The focal point of the room is the neoclassical sofa made between 1805 and 1815 in New York City, possibly by Duncan Phyfe. It is upholstered in dark blue striped horsehair. Because of the costly imported fabric covering, sofas were very expensive and only wealthy households could afford them. Two 19th-century engravings of birds by John James Audubon (1785-1851), famous for his monumental work Birds of America, decorate the walls. Audubon lived in Kentucky for some years while studying the bird population of that state.

A nor'easter has brought snow and high winds to Hoboken, blanketing a city that is still recovering from Sandy's aftermath under a three-inch layer of snow and wintry slush.
According to Mayor Dawn Zimmer, the storm toppled 38 trees all over town.
Snow started falling Wednesday afternoon, set to blanket the city with one or two inches, according to the National Weather Service.
A few thousands of Hobokenites remained in the dark on Wednesday. About 40 buildings all over town were still without power. Hoboken lost most of its power during Sandy. The three substations have been repaired, according to the city, but about 15 percent of the town remains without.
"If PSE&G has red tagged your home and shut off gas, please follow this process after calling PSE&G at 800-436-773," the city announced. Gas has been shut off in some buildings around town, to ensure that restoring electricity is safe to those buildings still without.
The city has shut down the utility hotline due to the new storm, the mobile truck providing the phone lines for the Utility Help Line will be relocated and will no longer be operational, the city announced.
According to one Anne, a resident at Sixth and Madison who didn't want her last name used, "PSE&G came door-to-door and turned off the gas, after nine days. They insisted it was a safety hazard."
"Our building is freezing cold, we have no hot water and we cannot cook," she said.
As of Wednesday, Hoboken was under a coastal flood warning by the National Weather Service. The National Guard remained in Hoboken through the storm, per Mayor Dawn Zimmer's request.
Electricians in town continued to work to restore power in town, and trash pick up continued on Wednesday, said Juan Melli, the city's spokesman.
Clean up efforts continued all over Hoboken on Wednesday. Parking rules remained suspended in Hoboken until Monday, November 12.
The city has been running eight to ten extra garbage trucks every day in addition to the three regular trucks in order to deal with the overwhelming quantities of trash, according to the city.
According to the National Weather Service, Rain and snow was expected to pick up after 1 p.m. with temperatures around 40º and winds around 23 mph. Gusts could be as high as 55 miles per hour.
On Wednesday night wind gusts were expected to pick up to 60 miles per hour.
Winds are expected to lower on Thursday, and rain was expected before 3 p.m. on Thursday.
The New York Post reported that most flights into the area were canceled in anticipation of the nor'easter on Wednesday.
Hoboken's public schools remained closed on Wednesday. Schools were expected to reopen on Thursday.

Over 2,000 miles away, Miller and his Jacksonville State University teammates are pushing for an Ohio Valley Conference title. So far the Gamecocks are off to a good start in reaching their goal.
"We started off kind of rough but we came together and started putting some wins together," Miller said. "We started off league really hot. I think we're second in league right now. We just have to keep putting wins together."
After starting the season off slow out of conference play, Jacksonville State has made a run through the OVC and is now sitting in a three-way tie for second place at 9-5 in the Ohio Valley and 15-22 overall. While the Gamecocks seemed to have found the right track, Miller still wants to improve his personal game.
"I started the year off pretty good but it kind of slowed down now," Miller said. "I just need to stay focused and work some things out with my swing. Other than that, the team is playing great and we're looking to keep it going."
Miller, a junior at JSU, said he has enjoyed his time in Jacksonville, Ala.
"It's been great," Miller said. "The team is great. The coaches are really hands on and helpful. It's just a great atmosphere to be in and play baseball."
Baseball is not the only area of life that Miller grew fond of while in Jacksonville.
"I think it is just the different atmosphere," Miller said. "I mean coming from the West Coast down to the South is definitely a culture shock. It's just definitely a different style of playing baseball and definitely a different lifestyle.
"I think the biggest difference is definitely just the pace of life. Everything down south is kind of slow and more laid back. The people are definitely a lot nicer and a little more responsive to what you need. I think that's probably what I have enjoyed the most."
That easy-going lifestyle does not end when you reach the ballpark either.
"It's not so much about trying to micro-manage the game here," Miller said. "They definitely let your athletic ability show through when you play and not so much trying to control the game. I think here it's more of just raw talent that shows through.
"I guess it's just the open-mindedness to the game of baseball. Out here you kind of just go out and play. It's just baseball. No matter how you coach it or no matter how you play it, it's just the same game."
With that freedom of the game and the raw talent that is showcased on a daily basis, Miller has had to make a few adjustments to his game.
"You just have to kind of focus on details more," Miller said. "I mean you have to be aware of everything that's going on because something that a pitcher does or something that other hitters do can definitely help you out. You're just focusing on every little detail and it really helps you out.
"The game is just so much faster. It's just the speed of the game. You have to focus on every pitch. You have to focus on every pitch of every inning. There's nothing you can miss. There's just no time you can take off. You have to be in the game every pitch."
Taking that approach and making sure he does not miss a single second of a game, Miller's goals remain high for the rest of this season and next, as well as in the classroom.
"As far as this season goes I'm just hoping to help contribute to winning league and then going to the tournament and hopefully winning that and then go to the super regionals and then the College World Series if we're thankful enough to make it there," Miller said. "As far as going into my senior season, there's a lot of things I can work on. Hopefully I can just come out next year and definitely be a part of a team that is successful and I can contribute. Off the baseball field, I'm hoping to go to law school after I graduate and kind of go that route. I haven't really stuck my mind on one set thing, but I'm definitely considering law school after."

In-form Gomis puts Lyon five clear
Bafetimbi Gomis continued his fine form as Lyon extended their advantage at the top of Ligue 1 with a narrow victory over champions Montpellier at the Stade de Gerland.
Gomis - hat-trick hero in the midweek 4-1 win at Marseille - netted the game's only goal after 26 minutes, lifting Les Gones provisionally five points clear ahead of this evening's fixtures.
The result ended Les Heraultais' five-game unbeaten run in the league, leaving the visitors too close to the relegation zone for comfort.
Gomis went close to setting up the opener after 10 minutes when he released Rachid Ghezzal, who got past Hilton and unleashed a 20-yard shot only to see Montpellier goalkeeper Jonathan Ligali make the save.
But Ligali was beaten 16 minutes later, with Gomis the man on target.
Clement Grenier picked up possession and produced the through-ball for Gomis, who controlled and muscled his way through before smashing an unstoppable right-footed effort into the net.
Lyon goalkeeper Remy Vercoutre had to be alert to preserve his side's lead five minutes later, keeping out Souleymane Camara's shot after he had been set up by Younes Belhanda.
Steed Malbranque could have given his team a two-goal interval cushion but his drive from the edge of the area, after a fine team move, was saved by Ligali at full stretch.
Montpellier had the better of the chances in the early part of the second half, Vercoutre doing well to keep out a couple of fierce attempts from Marco Estrada.
The hosts looked content to sit on their 1-0 lead, having seemingly expended a lot of energy at the Stade Velodrome on Wednesday. They almost grabbed a second through Grenier's low free-kick 17 minutes from time, but he was denied by the fists of Ligali.

Daily 12am-2am
Neighborhoods: Ocean Park, West LA
Sometimes all you want is a Guinness. Big bar with lots of seating. Fun, eclectic patrons. Live Music.
Having more than 200 whiskeys is a great reason to pay a visit to Finn McCool's. Great gastropub and of course guiness on draft.
FindACool Finn McCool's in UNITED STATES Vacations – I love Santa Monica. Go to this Irish Pub all the time with Denise Klein and her Husband "Ira Todd Klein". Mick Ryan thought he saw some IRAgents. LOL. Gets rowdy fun.
Stick to the Guinness – I put up with Finn's high prices because they pour the most decent pint in town. But when I order $9 chicken wings and they give me four (4!) it's just silly. The wings were displayed prettily on a tiny sushi platter. It's a pub not a french restaurant. Bring me a basket you cheap bastards.
Finn McCool's – The sound in the place had great acoustics. The music sounds very live, almost as live as a small- scale Staple's Center. The food was very tasty, and the waiters and waitreses were very friendly. Finally, many people hang out there, as it is a very popular venue. We can't wait to play there again. Have a Great Week.
Mark Newberry
great live music and friendly atmosphere – I've always enjoyed going to Finn McCools pub mainly for the live music and friendly atmosphere. I can honestly say that I have only ever had positive experiences at Finns.
The area where the band set up usually turns into a lively session on weekends, or, having performed there myself, a cozy friendly session during acoustic nights. It's cool because people can still enjoy their quiet drink on the other side of the bar if they prefer. Marion runs the open mic on Wednesday nights for all us musicians out there!! It's definitely worth checking out. I personally love the acoustic nights- Wed and Thurs nights. Nothing like having a beer while listening to great live music (said in true irish style!!!)
The first thing I noticed about Finn McCools (besides the irish celtic décor!) was its extremely welcoming atmosphere. I find the staff to be most helpful and pleasant, it's also nice to sit at a bar and have the barperson make genuine conversation with you!!! That's the way it's done in Ireland!!
As far as their menu goes, they have great variety and great food. You gotta try the traditional irish soda bread…tastes just like home-no joke! I usually order lots of the starters with my friends during happy hour and it makes for the perfect night!!
Great live music, warm & friendly atmosphere and staff, topped off with good food and drink… you can't go wrong!!
Real Irish Music at Last! – Has anyone been to Finn McCool's Irish Pub-Santa Monica lately? We dropped in last Sunday afternoon for a pint and some Fish and Chips. Holy Moly! Marian Tomas Griffin and friends were performing. This is some of the BEST Irish music I have heard since our trip to the West of Ireland last year. And the staff are even Irish as well. The fish and chips ( served in newspaper) was a huge portion and delicious, as was the Seafood Boxty ..I hear she is playing on Saint Patrick's Day. I for one will be in line to see that performance. PS The Guinness was the best I have had in the States. Poured by a system imported from Dublin.
Finn McCool's is soooooooooooo cool! – McCool's has it all! Great food, authentic Irish pub atmosphere, full bar, friendly servers, and great music! A real friendly Irish experience in Santa Monica.
A great bar, even for a vegan! – Most people are surprised when I tell them that Finn McCool's has vegan options, but believe it or not they are incredibly accommodating. Their menu lists vegetarian and vegan items, and they are all great (you can check out my review of them by Googling "Eco-Vegan Gal Finn McCool's"). They also have some vegan beer, such as New Belgium Fat Tire (which is eco-friendly too) and Sierra Nevada (not all beers are vegan).
And I'm sure that if you're not vegan you'll love this place and their food.
The atmosphere is great too. I love the variety of seating, especially the "private" sections next to the bar. I also enjoy the live music when it's there.
BEST IRISH PUB I'VE FOUND OUTSIDE IRELAND – I love love LOVE this place. I can bever find good Vegetarian food in pubs but Finn McCool's has so many great Veggie-friendly dishes - and the best french fries. Recently checked out their new Comedy Night which was a scream - and they have so many talented performers sheduled throughout each week (Michael Kelly plays EVERY week).
Best Irish Pub in L.A. Happy Hour from 1-7pm !!! – Their food is fantastic and reminds me of being back home in Dublin. I can't believe they have such an enormous collection of whiskey (my weakness). Great performers every week - and with a Happy Hour from 1-7pm you can't go wrong. Waiters were really friendly and actually Irish.
Awesome Vegetarian Menu – Just ate at Finn's yesterday and sampled some of the vegetarian menu, flat bread with pesto and some awesome dumplings. Just great. Not like some typical restaurants bland version of veggie cuisine.... this was first rate. I'll be back soon....

New Seacoast Rep Website
It's no secret that we love to donate our work to great causes and organizations, especially those around our home on the seacoast. Over the past few months we have worked closely with the wonderfully creative and charismatic team at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre to help them develop a new website. We are proud of this new launch, and proud to be able to help where we can when it comes to giving back to our community. We'd like to invite you to take a look at the new Seacoast Rep site, and while you're there why not pick up some tickets and check out one of their great shows! - The Team at CatchFire Creative ( exiting stage left )
Welcome to the new CatchFire
When we set out to re-create the CatchFire website we wanted to illustrate what it is we do, not just tell people what we were capable of doing. We decided to take our 10+ page website and condense that information into a single page showcasing our work and capturing the culture and personality of our company. We simplified our services pages into a single infographic, breaking down what we offer our clients. As designers we are strong believers in the power of simplicity, and advocates of clean fresh designs that push the barriers of the traditional online experience. We hope you like the new site and feel free to contact us about bringing your site to the next level.
New Website Launch - True Sojurners
We love working with non-profits and helping them succeed in the digital age. That's why we donated a website to True Sojourners. True Sojourners is a non-profit organization specializing in development consulting that is dedicated to blessing and empowering the people of the "hard places" of this world with tangible demonstrations of God's love for them. They accomplish this through a series of unique development initiatives that are all done in partnership with local leaders who direct each project.
For the True Sojurners project we reworked the logo and website while integrating a new giving module ( fivetwo.org ). The new site includes a blog, video integration and new engaging imagery. In addition to the website and logo redesign, we helped set up their social media presence and advised them with an ongoing strategy.
We were pumped to help our friends out! Go find out more about them at their website.
New Website Launch - Zack Richard
Zack Richard is an American film director and cinematographer. His body of work consists of cinematography for feature films, music videos, commercials and directing music videos. Zack is a consummate professional - calm, intuitive, efficient and responsible. Zack has received numerous awards and commendations throughout his career and is renowned for his creativity and ability to meet and exceed the expectations of his clients. Zack is an experienced RED EPIC cinematographer and owner of an RED EPIC-M camera package.
The Opportunity:
Zack Richard's work in both photography and video production truly showed his talents, but his outdated website did little to give his work the real justice it deserved. His hard work and passion over the years needed a site that would showcase his work in a clean and effective way. Zack's website focus needed to be his work in video production and photography, an easy to use interface that would encourage people to view his collection of work, not deter them from it.
Our Objectives:
- Develop an identifiable mark for the Zack Richard name.
- Create an effective design that showcased Zack's work, not distracted from it.
- Bring the quality of his web presence up to the quality of his work.
- Logo Development
- Website redesign and development
- Search Engine Optimization

The Opportunity: WoodWrights has been doing high-end renovation and contracting projects for over 20 years. Known to exceed expectations and hit budgets, WoodWrights has built a strong reputation of quality work. However, WoodWrights was not extending their superior reputation using the Internet.

- Make it easy for people to reach WoodWrights
- Enable the new website to be found easier via search

Through highly educated and trained agents, OnBrand24 is able to become an extension of the brands they represent. However, OnBrand24 wasn't effectively presenting their difference in a clear, engaging and tangible format using the Internet.

- Drive new business opportunities through effective internet marketing
- Provide a superior user experience
- Share personality and key differentiators in an engaging manner

A Fresh Website with Localized Social Media to Make Business "Muy Caliente!"
Agave Mexican Bistro serves fresh, authentic and delicious Mexican food at its two restaurant locations in Newburyport, MA and Portsmouth, NH. Since opening, Agave Mexican Bistro has won several awards for its tasty and authentic creations and has built up a loyal base of customers to the north of Boston and all over the country!
The Opportunity:
While Agave was serving up an amazing in-person experience, they weren't harnessing the full potential of the Internet to attract new customers and keep their current customers up-to-date. The primary objectives at the outset of our relationship were:
• Drive foot traffic into both locations (Portsmouth and Newburyport)
• Drive awareness for the Agave Mexican Bistro brand
• Reinforce authentic brand personality
• Provide additional outlets for Agave customers to share their experience(s)
Starter Ingredients:
• A couple hungry search engines
• A famined Facebook page
• A website presence needing proper blending
Our Recipe for Success:
• Design and develop a unified and engaging web presence for both locations. Take a look.
• Search-engine-optimize the new site for opportune keywords ex. "Mexican Restaurant NH"
• Create a central Facebook page, upgrade design and claim "places" where customers "check-in". Start updating customers on stuff they want to hear about while sharing Agave's unique personality.
• Setup and create an engaging Twitter presence. Connect with the surround community while providing restaurant updates, deals and special events.
• Claim FourSquare venues for the Newburyport and Portsmouth locations. Begin to provide check-in specials for each venue and learn from unique customer data.
• Capture high-end imagery of the in-person experience and share it within the website and within social media
The Result?
Here's a nice portion of results cooked up in less than 3-months' time:
• Over 300% increase in site traffic with over 70% being sent via search engines
• Over 250 FourSquare special views with 161 specials unlocked for redemption
• Over 215 new Facebook fans with 14,000+ post views
• Over 125 Twitter followers with over 55 @mentions

Happy Eating!

OnPosix is a tiny library to abstract POSIX mechanisms to C++ developers. Most features offered by this library can be found either inside the Boost library or in a library compliant with the C++11 standard. Unfortunately, however, for some embedded Linux devices, these libraries cannot represent viable solutions, due to the lack of memory space (for the Boost libraries) and the lack of a new C++ compiler (e.g., on Xilinx MicroBlaze). On these platforms, the OnPosix library represents a good and cheap solution to have object-oriented POSIX mechanisms. The library offers support for threads, mutual exclusion, sockets, logging, timing, etc.
The Voodoo compiler is an implementation of the Voodoo programming language. The Voodoo programming language is a low-level programming language, abstracting over the platform's instruction set and calling conventions, but otherwise leaving the programmer free to do anything at all. The Voodoo compiler supports multiple target platforms and provides a stand-alone compiler, as well as a Ruby module for programmatic code generation.
A portable C++ toolkit.

It's kind of fun to put comments like this in your awk code.
// Do C++ comments work? answer: yes! of course
Michael Brennan
There are a number of other freely available awk implementations. This section briefly describes where to get them:
You can also retrieve it from Git Hub:
git clone git://github.com/onetrueawk/awk bwkawk
The above command creates a copy of the Git repository in a directory named bwkawk. If you leave that argument off the git command line, the repository copy is created in a directory named awk.
This version requires an ISO C (1990 standard) compiler; the C compiler from GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) works quite nicely.
See Common Extensions, for a list of extensions in this awk that are not in POSIX awk.
The original distribution site for the mawk source code no longer has it. A copy is available at http://www.skeeve.com/gawk/mawk1.3.3.tar.gz.
In 2009, Thomas Dickey took on mawk maintenance. Basic information is available on the project's web page. The download URL is http://invisible-island.net/datafiles/release/mawk.tar.gz.
Once you have it, gunzip may be used to decompress this file. Installation is similar to gawk's (see Unix Installation).
See Common Extensions, for a list of extensions in mawk that are not in POSIX awk.
The awk translator is released under the GPL, and the library is under the LGPL.
To get awka, go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/awka.
The project seems to be frozen; no new code changes have been made since approximately 2003.

Investigators in Camden County are trying to figure out who a mystery carjacker is and where he might be.
Police believe their guy is seen in surveillance video they obtained from an unnamed business.
They say he is responsible for two carjackings and at least two other attempts all near the Collingswood-Camden border.
One attempt took place in the parking lot of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital on Haddon Avenue.
Another happened at a traffic light at Whitehorse Pike and Ferry Avenue.
And, in a third incident, police say the man jumped into the back of a car and told the driver to take him to a second location, where he stole another car.
FOX 29's Steve Keeley was live in Collingswood on Friday morning with more details.
Police now say they don't believe the suspect in the carjackings is the same man already wanted for murder and two armed robberies, Zedrick Johnson.
Police say Johnson killed a gas station attendant earlier this month and then robbed another gas station on Wednesday. He was arrested in Camden on Friday after a 12-day manhunt.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Premier League Team of the Week
Eden Hazard kept the smiles on the faces of Chelsea fans, while Arsenal supporters were left to wonder what could have been if Robin van Persie was still on their roster.
There were draws galore in this round of the Premier League, with six teams forced to share the spoils.
It was a second stalemate in a row for Arsenal, as the Gunners fired blanks against Stoke, leaving manager Arsene Wenger absolutely flummoxed. Liverpool and Manchester City also earned a point each, though their match-up was discernibly more entertaining.
Three points were collected by City's title rivals Manchester United when they beat Fulham at home, while Chelsea maintained their hold on top spot with wins against Reading and Newcastle.
Undoubtedly the division's in-form teams, Everton and Swansea put three goals past opponents Aston Villa and West Ham respectively, securing second and third position in the table.
ESPNSTAR.com's Teams of the Week
Spanish La Liga Team of the Week
Italian Serie A Team of the Week
German Bundesliga Team of the Week
GK: Ali Al-Habsi (Wigan)
After watching Southampton put two past champions City, Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi must have known he would have his hands full in their meeting with the Saints.
The Oman custodian was called into action as early as the 14th minute when he was forced to tip an impressive drive from Adam Lallana just over the crossbar. He kept up his heroics all the way through, keeping out a Danny Fox volley in the middle of the second half, moments after punching clear a Southampton corner. Al-Habsi deserved no less than his clean sheet and Wigan's first win of the campaign for his performance.
RB: Angel Rangel (Swansea)
Ever present in the Swans back four, Rangel has come a long way from his days as a performance contract player in League One, personifying his club's rise to prominence. The right-back is part of a rare breed of defenders comfortable in possession, and is often seen flying down the flank in support of Nathan Dyer.
Rangel's compatriot Michu has been stealing all the headlines for Swansea these days, but the 29-year-old takes his turn in the spotlight this week after striking Swansea's opening goal against West Ham. The Spaniard displayed excellent movement and attacking instinct to put himself in an ideal position to finish off the move.
LB: Leighton Baines (Everton)
The Toffees left-back featured in numerous editions of Premier League Team of the Week in the previous campaign, so it comes as little surprise to find him on the list once more.
Dominating his flank in attack and defence, Baines's crosses and set-pieces ensured David Moyes' squad threatened on numerous occasions. The Englishman would have finished with four assists instead of just the one for Nikica Jelavic, had Sylvain Distin and the Croatian striker been a tad more accurate in their attempts.
CB: Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal)
The Gunners squad is brimming with exciting attacking talent, making it easy to overlook the contributions of the Arsenal defenders.
Newly-appointed captain Vermaelen was his dependable self in front of substitute custodian Vito Mannone's goalmouth, challenging every aerial ball sent in by the Stoke midfield for the towering Peter Crouch. The Belgian also kept a close watch on the pacey Jonathan Walters, leaving the striker a frustrated figure at the final whistle.
CB: Alex Pearce (Reading)
The Reading centre-back might look out of place on this list, given that his squad conceded four goals against Chelsea. Unfortunately for Pearce, the score-line was not an accurate reflection of his endeavours.
The Scot threw his body on the line countless times to save the error-prone Adam Federici from further blushes, much to the annoyance of Fernando Torres, Eden Hazard and Juan Mata. One of Reading's better players against the star-studded Blues, Pearce's performance was laudable, as he hustled and hovered around the Blues attackers the entire game.
Joe Allen (Liverpool)
Reds midfielder Allen was making his Anfield debut in the club's draw with City, but you would never have known from his composed performance.
The former Swansea player took Lucas Leiva's place deep in midfield, and while there was none of the Brazilian's hard-tackling tenacity, Allen retained and recycled possession tirelessly. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was gushing with praise for Allen after the match and the commendation was thoroughly deserved, as the midfielder's pin-point accuracy was vital to the team carrying out Rodgers' pass-and-move style effectively against City.
Shinji Kagawa (Manchester United)
The Japanese was one of the Red Devils' better performers in their opening weekend loss to Everton, and Kagawa improved on his showing by getting his name on the score-sheet against Fulham this week. The former Borussia Dortmund man tempted and teased in front of the Old Trafford crowd, with the Cottagers defence never allowed a moment's peace, as he seemed to set up chances for his team-mates whenever he was on the ball.
As a player, Kagawa boasts the wonderful combination of speed, technical ability and intelligent movement. The ease in which he has slotted into the United first team suggests he might just be the missing piece of the club's title chase puzzle.
Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
Making your Premier League bow against the defending champions is no easy feat, but the experience proved to be little challenge for 17-year old Sterling.
In a shrewd tactical move by Rodgers, the young winger made full use of the space down the flanks left behind by City's three-man defence, becoming a source of endless trouble for the more experienced Vincent Kompany and Kolo Toure. The Englishman could have capped off a lively performance with an assist for Fabio Borini, but the Italian volleyed Sterling's peach of a cross wide.
Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Once again, the Belgian has a spot in the Team of the Week, and if early form is anything to go by, Hazard is likely to be a permanent fixture. His silky skills fuelled Chelsea's attacking vigour, as Roberto Di Matteo's squad stormed up the table.
Premier League defences appear to have no answer to Hazard's quick feet and trickery, except to clatter him to the ground. It was perhaps apt then that the attacking midfielder recorded his first goal in a Blues shirt from the penalty spot in the game against Newcastle this week.
Despite possessing the ability to carve through oppositions on his own, the former Lille player showed that he was more than willing to work for the team when he teed up team-mate Branislav Ivanovic for Chelsea's fourth goal in the Reading match.
Fernando Torres (Chelsea)
The Blues striker's diligence is an unquestionable part of his game, but his efforts are more often than not rewarded with a scuffed attempt. However, Torres' recent performance against Newcastle hints that the instinctive and confident striker that lies within could be on the brink of bursting out once more.
There were already shades of superb dribbling in the mid-week clash against Reading, and while Brian McDermott had every right to be enraged by Torres' strike from an offside position, Newcastle boss Alan Pardew was silenced by the Spaniard's cool finish into the top corner of Tim Krul's goal.
Carlos Tevez (Manchester City)
The defending champions could have so easily slipped to their first defeat of the season, had it not been for the striker's perseverance and hard work. Tevez appeared to be everywhere in attack, sending in crosses at one moment, and getting on the end of Samir Nasri's through pass the next.
Capping his hard work with an equalizing goal after a sloppy back-pass by Martin Skrtel, Tevez's efforts were deserving of three points, but the same could not be said of his team-mates.

HARNETT COUNTY, N.C. (October 11, 2013) - Harnett Health is pleased to announce a significant new benefit from the partnership with WakeMed Health & Hospitals. Adults needing to be admitted at Harnett Health's two hospitals, Betsy Johnson Hospital in Dunn and Central Harnett Hospital in Lillington, now have the option of being admitted by and cared for by WakeMed hospitalists. Harnett Health contracted with WakeMed to provide the 24/7 hospitalist service, led by a team of WakeMed board-certified physicians who specialize in caring for hospitalized patients.
In today's healthcare, a new specialty in medicine has evolved called hospitalists, hospital-based physicians who focus on the management of adult inpatients. Typically, the family physician is busy seeing patients in their practice and may choose to refer patients to the hospitalists if they are admitted. An admitted patient may also be treated by a hospitalist in the event he or she does not have a primary care physician. The benefit of a hospitalist service to the patient is the availability of a specialized physician anytime their care requires immediate attention.
Through the Harnett Health Hospitalist Program, WakeMed hospitalists will work closely with community physicians to ensure patient care is well coordinated with any physician who refers a patient to be admitted.
Dr. Brad Butler, a family physician with Angier Medical Services, noted, "Utilizing the WakeMed hospitalists has been a tremendously positive experience for my patients who have been admitted at Betsy Johnson in Dunn or at Central Harnett in Lillington."
WakeMed will continue to add hospitalists to support the program as inpatient volumes and emergency room volumes grow at both hospitals.
"The plan to offer hospitalist services with WakeMed was under development for more than a year. We implemented this program from day one at Central Harnett Hospital, and we are pleased to now provide these specialty services and physicians at Betsy Johnson Hospital," said Harnett Health Vice President of Medical Affairs, Wallace Horne, MD, MMM who oversees the new program at Harnett Health and was instrumental in the growth of this service.
"WakeMed is honored to lead an outstanding team of hospitalists to work alongside both the Betsy Johnson Hospital and Central Harnett Hospital teams to care for adults from Harnett County and surrounding communities," added Tres Pittman, MD, medical director of WakeMed's Hospitalist Program. "This partnership helps ensure local residents can stay close to home and receive high-quality care anytime they need it."
The hospitalists will work primarily at Betsy Johnson and Central Harnett Hospitals but will also rotate at WakeMed Raleigh Campus and WakeMed Cary Hospital. As part of the Hospitalist Program at Harnett Health, in addition to caring for adult inpatients, the WakeMed hospitalists provide on-site emergency department consultations as well as telephone consultations with community healthcare providers.
Harnett Health CEO, Ken Bryan, stated, "The Harnett Health Board of Trustees was committed to creating a high-quality hospitalist program and chose WakeMed hospitalists because of their extensive expertise in caring for patients with a wide range of serious illnesses and injuries. We are pleased to bring that expertise to patients right here at Harnett Health."

Thousands of students demonstrate in Dublin against Education cuts but USI attack their own members

Irish student struggles against austerity and fees
Last years USI students protest saw a savage attack by Garda on a breakaway student bloc that occupied the Department of Finance. The cowardly actions of the USI leadership this evening exposed their own members who took part in the FEE bloc to further police violence or arrest. At the time the FEE bloc was being shadowed be a number of secret police (known in Ireland as the Special Branch). Some were wearing USI issued t-shirts raising questions as to where they had obtained them?
FEE had marched as part of the USI demonstration from its meet up point at the Ambassador cinema at the Parnell monument. The bloc had only broken away on reaching Merrion square to travel the short distance to the Fine Gael HQ on Mount street where a sit down protest was staged. On winding up that short protest and trying to return to the rest of the student body FEE discovered its way was blocked by three lines of USI Stewards intermingled with uniformed Garda. This shocking act of betrayal by the USI leadership of their own members comes almost a year to the day after the brutal Garda attack on students occupying the Department of Education left several students injured.
It is no secret that FEE are highly critical of the USI leadership and its failure to offer any sort of effective resistance to the cuts on Education being imposed in this period. Indications that the leadership were going to respond to these political disagreements with a section of their membership in a physical manner emerged early in the protest when a group of 12 or so black clad private security were seen at the front of the march. It was also clear that the Garda were prepared to great effective protest with a violent response as they had brought along both mounted police and van loads of riot police. One WSM member overheard one young guard say to another: "keep an eye on this crowd with the black and red flags."
A contingent carrying the #OccupyDameStreet banner joined the FEE bloc and went with them to the FQ Head Quarters on Mount street. This evening USI are staging a fake Occupation outside the Department of Education, one they have agreed in advance with the Garda to end at 10am tomorrow morning. The top down methodology of the USI leadership and their betrayal of their own membership today is about as far as you can get from the spirit of Occupy.
William Hederman, who took the photograph on the right, told us "USI were planning to do an Occupy-style camp outside the Dept of Education overnight, "weather permitting". RTE described this as "in the spirit of the global Occupy movement". A USI steward told me that the FEE & ODS group were not allowed to rejoin the march because they had "different aims" to USI." (Photo: William Hederman - USI Stewards form 3 lines to prevent #OccupyDameStreet banner joining demonstration).
In a stunning lack of awareness USI tried to defend this action under the 'Health & Safety' excuse. This is the same excuse that has been used in city after city to stage violent evicitions of Occupy Camps, as cops baton and tear gas Occupiers to protect their 'Health & Safety'. USI told The Journal this morning that "the group was simply trying to join a protest through a fire exit – and that the other groups would have posted a safety problem if they came in from a side and forced other students to push backward." None of the students we have talked to who found there way blocked by the stewards recall this health & safety excuse being offered at the time. Several recall being told it was because of who they were with.
After the militant student demonstrations and occupations of the late 1980's and early 1990's won the abolition of fees the government introduced an once off 190 euro registration fee that was supposed to pay for student services. However in the 15 years after 1996 that fee was increased no less than 13 times - a reintroduction of fees by the back door. In last years budget that registration fee was replaced with a 2,000 euro 'student contribution and the government has not ruled out re-introducing fees in this years budget. In mid-August, Labour Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn announced both further increases to the "registration fee", which currently stands at €2000, and the return of tuition fees, which will be payable at point-of-entry.
In addition to this USI calculates that the Higher Education Grant has been cut by 8.8% since the capitalist crisis began with some students seeing cuts of up to 60% due to changes in criteria. The government has announced that it intends to cut grants for all new postgraduates. These increases are having the effect of excluding huge numbers from higher education.
Despite the scale of these attacks the USI response is one of passive lobbying of TD's with the traditional once off large scale march to demonstrate that they have the support of students. There arguments against the introduction of fees and cuts in the grant are all coached in the language of the neo-liberal offensive, rather than arguing for free education as a right for all they are trying to convince the 1% that it is good for the economy.
In an article on the FEE site in advance of the march Aidan Rowe warned that "Similarly, we mustn't fall into the old lobbying pattern favoured by USI, where student mobilisations are of secondary importance and only serve to demonstrate the organisational credentials of the USI leadership in advance of "negotiations", which serve little purpose other than to boost the egos and build the political portfolios of student politicians. Political lobbying is a terrain on which establishment politicians are comfortable – an empowered, energised and militant grassroots student movement is considerably more difficult to handle. We must also recognise the class-based nature of the struggle for free education. We must reject the sectoral politics of the USI, in which students are simply another "special interest" group demanding that the pain be imposed on someone else, which allows the government to divide and conquer, and instead embrace a class-based anti-austerity politics of solidarity with ordinary people resisting attacks on their lives and livelihoods."

DSU stadium renamed in honor of football coachDICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — Dickinson State University's football stadium has been formally named after the team's legendary coach.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — Dickinson State University's football stadium has been formally named after the team's legendary coach.
The Badlands Activities Center, completed in 2009, was renamed the Henry Biesiot Activities Center during a ceremony after DSU's homecoming game against Montana Tech on Saturday, The Dickinson Press reported.
"I've been around for a few years," Biesiot told fans at the ceremony. "It's a touching, touching thing."
Biesiot has coached the Blue Hawks since 1976, racking up more than 250 wins. He holds the NAIA record for most wins at one school, and he's in a battle this season with St. Francis coach Kevin Donley for the honor of most wins in NAIA history. He was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in 2006.
Biesiot said the renaming of the stadium is not just a credit to him but to countless others.
"There's so many people that have had so much to do with this," he said. "You've got to remember, Hank never made a block, never made a tackle. I happened to witness a lot of them.
"The guys I've coached with, there's certainly been special memories from the first one to the last one," he said. "Those are what relationships, names and memories are made out of."

Hello fellow Huskies! My name is Eleanor Wort and I will be a junior at UW Bothell in the fall of 2013. I am a transfer student from WSU but my past year at UWB has been one of the best in my life! I am originally from London, England but have lived in Kirkland for the past 13 years. In high school I was on the cheerleading squad which helped make me the outgoing person I am today and I was also very involved with leadership classes and activities. I currently hold down two jobs as well as attend school full time, but of course school always comes first! During the summer I love partaking in all kinds of water sports and love going to the beach. During the winter I love to go skiing and play in the snow whenever I have an opportunity! I enjoy being a UWB student for many different reasons but a few specific ones would be the small class sizes, friendly professors, welcoming student body, and ample opportunities to become involved on campus. These unique characteristics of this beautiful campus are why I chose to become an Orientation Leader. I had a fantastic experience transferring into the campus and want to help others have as easy of a transition as I did. I love this campus and am passionate about helping others find their place within UWB! I am extremely excited to meet all of the incoming Huskies this summer! Go Dawgs!
UW Bothell's average undergraduate class size is 31, and its average graduate class size is 17.
