City Councilwoman Claire Fortier has attended her last meeting as an elected representative of South Lake Tahoe.
The councilwoman, who concluded a one-year stint as mayor on Tuesday, said she plans to leave for Washington state next week.
In June, Fortier said she had plans to move to Redmond, Wash., to join her spouse, Maria Pielaet, who had accepted a position to set up a health clinic for Microsoft.
She vowed to stay on with the council at least through passage of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's Regional Plan Update, which was approved Wednesday. Fortier is the city's representative on the TRPA's Governing Board and was part of a TRPA committee and a bi-state consultation group that helped shape the plan.
The two-decade resident of the Lake Tahoe Basin said she will miss the area "enormously" and does not know what she will do for work in the Pacific Northwest.
"As far as the city is concerned I think the city is operating well and has a really dedicated staff and council, which is more than most jurisdictions can ask for," Fortier said Thursday.
Fortier said as recently as last month that she had no immediate plans to leave because she had been unable to sell her house. She said Friday that she has still not sold her house, but will head to Washington anyway.
"It was critical to me to stay through the RPU process," Fortier said.
City code requires the council appoint someone to a vacant seat on the council, or call a special election to fill the position, within 60 days from the seat becoming vacant.
"The special election shall be held on the next regularly established election date not less than 114 days from the call of the special election," according to the code.
Anyone elected or appointed to the position could serve out the remainder of Fortier's term, which ends in December 2014.


text: Pitching Fails Hatters in 13-5 Loss to FSU May 08, 2013 Stetson's pitching staff came into Tuesday night's showdown with seventh ranked Florida State on a roll. The Hatters had allowed just 22 total runs over the last nine games. The Seminoles put an end to that run, pounding out 18 hits and using nine walks to batter the Hatters in a 13-5 FSU victory in front of 2,517 fans at Melching Field. The teams will play again on Wednesday afternoon with the first pitch scheduled for 4 p.m. Former Major League pitcher Jack Billingham, who lives in New Smyrna Beach, will be on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Stetson used five pitchers in the game on Tuesday and only senior sidewinder Joe Dye had any success. "It is very disappointing to go into a game like this and not have guys step up," Stetson coach Pete Dunn said. "You have to step up and take advantage of this opportunity. The thing that is so disappointing is that we walked nine and hit two. When you do that, and give up 18 hits, they could have scored twice that many if they had taken advantage of it." Freshman left-hander Adam Schaly (2-3) took the brunt of the FSU attack, allowing eight runs on 10 hits while allowing five walks over four innings of work. Ben Rakus followed, allowing two walks and hitting a batter in his inning of work. He escaped allowing any runs when Dye came out of the pen with the bases loaded in the sixth and got a pop out and two strikeouts to end the inning. "You can't beat a mediocre team doing that, much less a top five team in the nation," Dunn said. "There is no excuse for not throwing the ball over the plate. I have never, ever tolerated walks and I never will. I just don't understand how you can go out there at this level and not throw the ball over the plate to give yourself a chance. "Joe Dye came in there against a bad matchup, a right-handed sidearmer pitching to left-handers, and he throws the ball over the plate and gets out of the inning. If you throw the ball over the plate you have a chance to be successful. If you don't, you have no prayer." FSU (39-9) took advantage of the Hatters' pitching woes, scoring two runs in each of the first four innings. Dye kept the Seminoles at bay for his two innings of work, but FSU came right back after he left the game, scoring four times in the eighth and once in the ninth. The hitting stars in the game for FSU included freshman Jameis Winston who established career highs for hits (3) and RBI (4) while also scoring a pair of runs. The heir apparent to the FSU quarterback job in the fall, Winston singled in a run in the third off Schaly, doubled in two off Cameron Griffin in the eighth and then drew a bases loaded walk from Chad Rood in the ninth. FSU also got three hits, including two doubles, three runs and two RBI from D.J. Stewart, two hits, including a somewhat controversial two-run homer, from Stephen McGee and two hits from Casey Smit off the bench. The controversy on the McGee homer in the fourth was over whether or not he touched first base. Stetson (23-25) had its fair share of scoring chances early in the game off FSU starter Peter Miller (6-1). The Hatters plated a run in the first, but left two on base, and then scored three in the second, tying the game at the time at 4-4. Over the next five innings the Hatters got six hits, but did not get a runner past second base. That streak ended in the eighth when Stetson got three hits and pushed a run across but, once again, the Hatters left two on base. A trio of Stetson players had three hits each in the game. Kevin Fagan had three, including a two-run triple, and scored twice, Garrett Russini had three hits, including a double, and K'shawn Smith had three hits, including a pair of doubles. Miller allowed four runs on eight hits in his six innings of work for FSU to get the win. "If we are fortunate enough to get into the conference tournament in a couple of weeks, those are the guys that are going to have to step up and win for us in an eight team tournament," Dunn said of his pitching. "That is what makes this so disappointing." The Hatters will try to salvage the final game of the season series from the Seminoles on Wednesday afternoon. Either Josh Thorne (3-0, 3.90) or Tyler Warmoth (3-2, 3.96), both freshman right-handers, will get the start on the mound for Stetson. FSU is expected to counter with sophomore left-hander Bryant Holtmann (2-0, 3.21). The Hatters will continue their eight-game home stand this weekend when they host Atlantic Sun Conference newcomer Northern Kentucky for a three game series starting on Friday.

At that point, they are no different than any other "high value" target in the opposition. Calling them "American Citizens" facilitates your argument but, by my understanding of the intent of our doctrine, it is a falsehood.Drone attacks on our home soil against our own citizenry (those who are not actively seeking to destroy our government and our people) would be a different matter entirely. Declaring yourself an enemy of the state leaves you a fair target for being treated as one.That said, I do agree with your concern if your example was more apropos.

Pain discussion
to be held today
FREDERICK, Md. - Arthritis expert Dr. Nathan Wei will be hosting a brown bag lunch talk on knee pain from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. today at the Arthritis Treatment Center. Wei will discuss the ins and outs of knee pain - including easy ways to relieve knee pain, the new role of stem cells in treating knee pain and new clinical research opportunities to help you manage your pain.
The Center for Disease Control reports that osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is one of the five leading causes of disability among adults. About 80 percent of patients with OA have some degree of movement limitation and 25 percent cannot perform major activities of daily living. Eleven percent of adults with knee OA need help with personal care, and 14 percent require help with daily routines. With more than 100 types of arthritis, it's important to get the facts about the most common form of arthritis and learn what can be done to keep joints healthy for years to come.

Swiss-based deep house enchantress Nora En Pure has casted a spell on us again with her latest remix of Adrian Lux's Sooner or Later. What was originally a heavier electro-house tune has now been transformed into a blissful celebration of soulful basslines and delicate synthesizers. The pulses from this heartfelt beat form a protective barrier around fragile pianos and sensitive harmonies, allowing us to "take comfort in the calm" because now we are shielded "from dangers tonight." In true Binary spirit, the loving sounds and tender melodies of Nora En Pure always offer a warm Embrace.

I got my wish with the Pirates standing pat at the trade deadline this year.
I guess they learned from their mistakes of the last two years.
I even watched the Trade Deadline Show on ESPN on Wednesday with baited breath and was happy they didn't make a move.
I don't have an answer for the right-field production, or lack thereof, this year, but I'm thinking they can continue to tinker with that the rest of the year, and it won't kill them.
I'm also thinking it might be time to bring back Bennie Benak and the Iron City Six or at least an updated version for pre-, in- and post-game entertainment and to get out those "Green Weenies."
Perhaps an updated version of Chicken on the Hill, in honor of Willie Stargell, with Chick-Fil-A as the new sponsor.
Start playing "We Are Family" again as part of the seventh-inning stretch and bring in Phil "Scrap Iron" Garner to throw out a first pitch or ride around the field with the Pirate Parrot.
Just to be safe, let's bring back the "Deacon," Vernon Law, for religious purposes as well as pre- and post-game prayers.
Somewhere Rosey Rosewall, is telling the rest of the baseball world to "open the window Aunt Minnie, here it comes," alluding to this year's Bucs." And as far as all of those non-winning seasons, I can almost hear "The Gunner," Bob Prince, saying, "Going, going, gone ... you can kiss them goodbye."
Or perhaps, just perhaps, he's saying, "We had 'em all the way!"

I just hope they fix the freezing issue.
It's a joke and there's a 40 page forum on the NHL 12 website, where it seems like everyone has had this issue.
I've had it about 4 or 5 times since I bought the game.
Anyone know if they have already updated rosters with a patch or is that still to come?
I'm waiting for that to happen before I buy.
They did have one, but it had many errors on it.
I'm guessing the beginning of the season is when the first important roster update will come. Right now there's still a lot of guys just trying out for teams and many moves are yet to be made.

Khloé Kardashian Wishes She 'Were Made of Steel'
"As much as I wish I were made of steel... I'm not," Tweets the reality star, whose husband was arrested for DUI early Friday amid buzz he's abusing drugs. "I'm pretty damn close to it though hehe."
Speculation – fueled by a sighting last month of Kardashian sans wedding ring – that the basketball player's drug problems were affecting their marriage came on the heels of infidelity accusations.
Still, Kardashian has been keeping it mostly light on her social media accounts, posting selfies and making a Mean Girls reference.
"Smile and no one will notice," she previously Tweeted (and deleted).
Meanwhile, sister Kourtney Kardashian is spending the weekend partying in Las Vegas.

on December 4, 2012 - 1:00 AM
Let me paint a familiar scene. I bet you've seen it as often as I have. Kids walking down the street, slouched over, because they have a backpack overloaded with books.
Have you ever picked one of those up? It's enough to give you a hernia. Perhaps you have wondered, as I have, if it's good for them.
Well, guess what? A new study shows that heavy backpacks in the teen years may mean lifelong back pain.
Researchers looked at 1,500 children – at their weight and the weight of their backpacks. To do this, each child dressed up in one of those hideous hospital gowns to get their weight and height correct. Then they donned their regular clothes complete with their keys, cellphones, jewelry, iPods and all the accruements of the teen life (by the way, this added about five pounds to their wardrobe). Then came the backpack.
The report (trumpets please): The average backpack was about 16 pounds. To give you an idea of how much that is, it's like carrying two gallon milk jugs on your back. I call that heavy.
Now here's the clincher – for many of these teens, that's about 10 percent to 25 percent of their body weight. I call that a burden that might be detrimental for the developing teen body. And that's exactly what the researchers found.
One in four teens complained of back pain for weeks at a time. The heavier the backpack was, compared to the teen weight, the more likely they had back pain.
My spin: Chronic back pain in adults is one of the most common complaints that I and many other doctors see in our office. Perhaps, just perhaps, heavy backpacks might be one risk factor.
Many of my physician colleagues will argue, rightfully so, that this is just one study. You really can't generalize from this. It's too soon to tell.
But if I take off my doctor hat and put on my parent hat, I have a different opinion. See how heavy your child's backpack is. See if they're slouching. Ask them about back pain. Take action. Figure out how much stuff they really need to carry to get those As in school.
Dear Dr. Paster: My son is overweight. He hits the Web when he comes home from school and never exercises. My husband and I like to walk when the weather is nice. We'd like to walk with him but he balks. What to do? – Frustrated Mom
Dear Frustrated Mom: Pull the plug. I recommend a technology-free night once every week or two. That means no computer, no TV, no movies, no video games, no cellphone, no texting, landline off the hook. In this age of electronic distraction, it's sometimes hard for a parent to get a child's attention, especially when they're texting at the dinner table.
I would make this tech-free night a special, fun activity you'll all enjoy. Fun family activities are those bonding times that make parenting awesome – for you and your kid.
Stay well!
Dr. Zorba Paster is a family physician, university professor, author and broadcast journalist. He also hosts a popular radio call-in program at 3 p.m. Saturdays on WNED.

PHOENIX – The Buffalo Bills went to work Monday on keeping their collective morale from falling apart.
The Bills are reeling after two straight historic blowout losses, and the players acknowledged it as they convened in Phoenix for a week of practices in preparation for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
"We have to find a way to get a renewed sense of energy and optimism, and just make sure our confidence level remains high," said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. "I think that's the most important thing for us as we move forward here."
Asked if he was worried about the team's morale, coach Chan Gailey said:
"Sure you are. You got your head in the sand if you don't worry about confidence, morale, all of those terms we all use. I addressed it with the team. What I reminded them is they've done it before, and to not lose confidence in themselves. We've all seen them do it before, so I know it can be done."
Center Eric Wood acknowledged he's concerned about how the team will respond to Sunday's 45-3 loss at San Francisco, the third-largest margin of defeat in team history.
"Yeah, I read that Chan was worried about it, too," Wood said. "It's a big week for us. We're gonna put a lot of pressure on ourselves to get a win this week and try and get back to .500.
"But at the same time we can't be tight. And I feel like we've come out a little tight. Last week, I felt like we were kinda waiting to see what San Francisco might do to us differently to stop our inside zone [runs], instead of just dictating to them and making them stop it. It's gonna be natural for people to be tight this week because there's gonna be a lot of pressure on us to get a victory. But you still have to play loose and enjoy being out there on the field again."
Can Gailey and his staff inspire confidence in the locker room? Players said the coach reminded them in the team meeting Monday that they have the talent to rebound.
"His biggest thing was he let us know the things he knew about us as a team and the things that were still up in the air, in terms of maybe our confidence level and how we're gonna respond and the things he wasn't quite so sure of," Fitzpatrick said. "I think it was a good message today. … He's not a huge rah-rah guy, but I think everybody took to it and took it to heart today, and I thought it was a necessary speech and a good one."
"We have to be mentally tough and we have to show up," Wood said, paraphrasing some of Gailey's message. "You can't just keep doing the same things and expecting different results. So we may switch up some stuff in practice this week. We may do different stuff in preparation. But you can't do the same things and expect different results."
"You gotta regroup. We all gotta look ourselves in the mirror we gotta get better. We got too much talent to be setting record like we're setting, to be not putting up any points, not sustaining any drives."
The 1,201 yards Buffalo's defense has allowed the last two weeks is the most in back-to-back games by any team since 1950. In losing to the Niners, the Bills became the first team ever to allow 300 yards rushing and a 300-yard passer.
"The mood is terrible," said defensive tackle Kyle Williams of the locker room after the game Sunday. "There is no other way for it to be. If we had guys in there laughing, having a good time, then I definitely would not want them on our football team. The mood is bad, there is a bad taste in your mouth. … There is a lot of things that have to be corrected. If we want to win football games, we have to get a lot better fast. Hopefully that is what we are going to do this week."
Linebacker Kelvin Sheppard said he's not worried about the team's morale.
"Not at all, and I can confidently say that right now, especially being that we're here together as a team all week," he said. "Guys aren't going home with their families doing this or that. I think that's gonna jell the team together in this adverse situation."
Fitzpatrick said he knows teammates will look to him to set a positive tone.
"I'm kind of a guy that people are going to be looking at, especially offensively," he said. "I've got to make sure I'm out there 100 percent in it, making sure they know I have confidence in them just like I have confidence in myself. … So it's an important thing for us as we get into this week here.
"That's something for me I feel is a strength. And it's going to be paramount for me this week to make sure I have a pulse on not just the team, not just the offense, but individual guys and making sure we keep the confidence high as we go on."

A member of the female sex who adorns herself prodominantly in clothing too small for herself, creating an effect of her figure spilling out over the top of her pants, resembling the top of a muffin. Muffin tops are generally unaware of their condition, and typically even believe that they are MORE attractive than non-muffin tops. These females are very easily spotted in nearly all social events, and the muffin tops even parade themselves about in a way to advertise their willingness to participate in sexual activity with willing members of BOTH sexes. Most of the time, muffin tops can be found in the pressence of and under the influence of alcohol and other substances.
"look at jessica, in those pants she is a total muffin top, they must be at least 2 sizes too small, and her fat stomache is spilling out all over the place!"

Even with all the serious lawsuits surrounding Google every now and then there's still a case that seems just ... off. The latest suit against Google and its founders stems from a man who cared enough to handwrite all 23 pages of his complaint.
One Dylan Stephen Jayne of Pennsylvania filed suit against "Google Internet Search Engine Founders" in Pennsylvania Civil court, seeking the small amount of $5 billion dollars. Jayne claims that his safety is in jeopardy because of Google releasing personal information about him.
Jayne asserts that individuals looking to perform acts of terrorism could obtain his information from Google, making it more likely that he will be detained wrongfully in the future. Jayne's statement of claim is that, "Dylan Steven Jayne, plaintiff, has a social security number that when the social security number is turned upside down in its entirety it is a scrambled code that does spell the name Google."
Jayne goes on to state that the United States Department of Justice is heading the investigation into the allegations of crimes against humanity by the Google Search Engine founders and that he was illegally detained as a juvenile in the Milford, Pennsylvania County Court of Common Pleas. Jayne also claims, amongst other things, that he was placed in jail for two-years under misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and public drunkenness.
Luckily for Google, Jayne is willing to accept the first check in the amount of $250,000 and a second check for the remaining balance.
Submitted for evidence, Jayne included virtually every piece of his private information; including his credit card, library card and bank overdraft statements.
At the time of publication, "Dylan Stephen Jayne" revealed no hits on Google. "Dylan Jayne" revealed approximately 200 hits regarding this suit. In time, Jayne's lawsuit may become a self-fullfilling prophecy -- documents from this case are quickly being circulated through the Internet. While it may not consistute crimes against humanity, Jayne's personal information is quickly becoming everyone else's business.

quote: I don't see a warning on my stove that it's hot, but I bet the manufacturer knows that it can burn. Should I sue them if I put my hand on it?
quote: Because it's common freakin sense. How far do we have to go as a society until we realize we don't have to be warned about everything.
quote: Those "facts" do nothing more than show the fallacy of our legal system and that judges now fail to utilize the "common sense" standard.
quote: "It's not my fault I ran a red light and caused an accident, it's my cell phones, didn't see a warning label on it telling me not to use why driving."

GLENGARY - Organizers of the Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder - an internationally known event that premiered locally Saturday and tested the endurance of approximately 13,000 participants during its two-day run-are still investigating an accident that sent a man to the hospital.
Will Dean, Tough Mudder co-founder and CEO, was at the Peacemaker National Training Center Sunday afternoon and watched as approximately 3,000 of the weekend participants made their way through the physically grueling, military-style obstacle course that exposed them to icy water, fire and even electrical shocks from live wires as they traveled across the hilly terrain.
"You've got to be tough to do a Tough Mudder, but even so, we take safety very, very seriously. Unfortunately on Saturday there was a major incident with a young man who was eventually transferred from an area hospital to a trauma one hospital in northern Virginia, " Dean said, adding that it is a 12-mile event designed by British Special Forces to test both physical and mental strength.

The inaugural Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder concluded Sunday afternoon, an event that drew approximately 13,000 participants and 5,000 spectators. The 12-mile event was set at the Peacemaker National Training Center in southern Berkeley County and included obstacles that subjected participants to icy water, fire and even some mild electrical shocks.
According to the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department, the 28-year-old male was injured at about 1 p.m. Saturday and treated at WVU Hospitals-East in Martinsburg before being transferred to the Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia. It has northern Virginia's only level one trauma center and treats critically injured patients.
"There's not much else I can say at this point, other than to stress that we're hoping he'll make a full recovery - but it was a major incident," Dean said.
"We want to have a full investigation and if mistakes have been made, we will follow up on that. All of the initial indicators suggest that all of the protocols we have in place - and have been used many times before - were followed. It's a very unfortunate incident, and our primary thoughts today are with the individual and his family," he said.
While no other specifics about the accident or its resulting injuries have been officially released, it reportedly took place at an obstacle named "Walk the Plank" that allows participants to "test your fears of heights and cold all in one with our 15+ feet high jump into freezing waters," the corporate website reads.
Dean said his organization partners with the Wounded Warrior Project and has raised approximately $5 million since its inception - including events that have been held nationally and internationally. He estimated that the local event could mean an additional $100,000 to $150,000 to be used to help veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury or wound in connection with their military service.
The Berkeley County Central Dispatch daily fire and rescue call log for Saturday listed 10 Tough Mudder calls, including one cardiac arrest and two trauma complaints, but the others were listed as unknown. Sunday's information will be available today.
Weekend police scanner traffic reported by the Eastern Panhandle Working Fires Facebook page included several event posts including a heart attack, stroke, chest pains, broken ankle, dislocated shoulder and shoulder injury. It also posted about two possible drownings.
Peacemaker owner Cole McCulloch also used social media to help clarify the situation, noting on his Facebook page there had been some injuries and 10-11 transports. He also noted there had been "erroneous reports of multiple fatalities."
Late Saturday afternoon, he posted, "As of 4:30, no fatalities - few incidents...working to ensure people get prompt medical treatment."
Watching as the last wave of participants ran down a hill Sunday, McCulloch said there was ample security and medical personnel on hand to deal with the situation. He also also credited the Berkeley County Emergency Ambulance Authority and Sheriff's Department for their on-site efforts.
Sheriff Kenneth "Kenny" Lemaster was also at the event Sunday, observing its activities and gathering information for the accident investigation, he said.
He said it was originally reported to his department as an "unattended death, but the person was not deceased," Lemaster said.
"At this time, we do consider it an accident. And since it is not a criminal investigation, we are not releasing additional information," he said.
"It's just such a tragic situation for this individual, especially since this event was such a good time for a lot of people," Lemaster said.
There were no other problems associated with the event, since a shuttle service was provided to parking at Tabler Station and traffic was not an issue, he said.

Russell Wilkinson admits he's been a drug addict and a criminal for a good part of his adult life, but he insists that his decision to tell police about a murder-for-hire plot likely saved the life of a Mount Pleasant real estate agent targeted for death.
Wilkinson, who is in jail now for his alleged involvement in the crime, said Wednesday the murder plot against Nancy Latham was "100 percent real." He acknowledged that part of his motivation in talking to police was self-preservation, but he said he also wanted to stop an innocent woman from being killed.
"I feel like had I not come forward, she would be dead," he said. "It was going to happen."
The 39-year-old carpenter from Louisville, Ky., spoke to The Post and Courier in an interview at the Charleston County jail. A trim, bearded and balding man with a skeleton tattoo running up his left arm, he painted himself as a reluctant participant who did everything he could to foil the plot once he discovered the details.
"From the moment I knew, all I conspired to do was to make it stop," said Wilkinson, who has been charged by federal authorities with conspiracy to commit murder.
Wilkinson said he felt sympathy for Nancy Latham when he watched her speak in court last week.
"That poor lady, listening to her talk in court and seeing her shake. She was so scared," he said. "I can only imagine her shame, her embarrassment, her fear. But all the things she's going through, she's going through alive."
'I've never hurt a soul'
Wilkinson was arrested April 5 after Charleston police conducted a traffic stop on the East Side of the peninsula and discovered a pistol and ammunition inside the car the ex-con was driving. He volunteered that he and Samuel Arthur Yenawine, 38, also of Louisville, had been hired to kill Nancy Latham, authorities said.
Latham is a real estate agent and treasurer of the S.C. Education Lottery Commission. She is married to Chris Latham, a Bank of America executive who is vice president of Spoleto Festival USA and a board member of the Trident Technical College Foundation.
Yenawine, Wilkinson and Yenawine's ex-wife, 37-year-old Wendy Annette Moore, have been arrested in connection with the alleged plot. Chris Latham has not been charged, although his wife accused him of being part of the conspiracy in a civil lawsuit this week. She has also accused him of being romantically involved with Moore.
Yenawine's attorney, Bill Butler, and Moore's attorney, David Aylor, have depicted Wilkinson as a heroin addict and convicted felon whose story holds no credibility. Aylor said his client doesn't even know Wilkinson.
Beth Drake, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, declined to discuss the case or Wilkinson's version of events.
Wilkinson does not deny that he is a heroin addict and a former meth head who has been doing hard drugs since the age of 16. He also readily admitted that he spent nearly 10 years in prison for various crimes, including check fraud.
But he said he also went to work every day, paid his mortgage and cared for his two daughters, ages 4 and 5, and his 8-year-old stepson. And of all the years he spent in prison, it was never for a violent crime, he said.
"I've never hurt a soul," he said.
Wilkinson said he thought he was heading to Nashville to get drugs when he agreed to accompany his former cellmate, Yenawine, on a road trip late last month. It was only after they arrived in Charleston that he learned the truth from his wife, Beth, who was still in Louisville, he said.
Wilkinson said his wife told him she had spoken with Yenawine's girlfriend, who relayed details about the murder plot. He grew uneasy and scared of Yenawine. But his wife told him she would come up with a plan to derail the scheme, he said.
'It worked like a charm'
He realized just how serious the plot was, he said, when he and Yenawine met Moore on Sullivan's Island and got a packet that contained cash and a detailed "dossier" with directions to Nancy Latham's house, a handwritten description of woods they could hide in and biographical information.
The next day, Wilkinson's wife told Yenawine's girlfriend back home that the pair had actually traveled to Charleston to film a porn movie with Moore, who had owned an adult entertainment business in Louisville, Wilkinson said. The girlfriend called Yenawine in a rage, which caused him to head back to Louisville, with Wilkinson in tow, to make sure she didn't spend some $4,000 he had been paid for the murder and left in her care, he said.
"It worked like a charm," Wilkinson said of his wife's ruse. "It was brilliant."
Once in Louisville, Wilkinson said he volunteered to return to Charleston on his own to finish the job. He scored some heroin, then left the next morning with his wife and their lap dog, Rusty, he said. His kids were in Florida on spring break at the time, he said.
Wilkinson said he had no intention of going through with the murder. In fact, he and his wife spent much of the ride discussing whether they should call the FBI and how they could get out of this mess, he said.
"Once me and Beth got to Charleston, the only times we left the hotel was to eat and get heroin. In the hotel, all we talked about was who should we tell," he said. "I didn't intend to do anything. I intended to do heroin."
Yenawine would call often to check on their progress, Wilkinson said. He would lie, telling Yenawine he was following Nancy Latham but he couldn't find her alone without her kids. They had been told they wouldn't be paid in full for the hit if the children were present, he said.
Wilkinson said his journey came to an end while he and his wife were trying to buy heroin on America Street. When police found the gun, he feared that Yenawine would learn the plan had unraveled and that he would be the next target, Wilkinson said.
To save himself, his wife and Nancy Latham, Wilkinson said, he started telling police everything he knew about the plot, going against a long-ingrained aversion to law enforcement and snitching.
"It was a matter of self-preservation, in a lot of respects, but it wasn't just my preservation," he said.
He doesn't see himself as a hero by any means. In fact, he thinks he was stupid to allow himself to become entangled in such a high-stakes crime. Now, he said he is worried that he will spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder, with a target on his back, for ratting out Yenawine, who spent time in prison for a 2001 homicide.
"When all this is said and done, I'll have a stone-cold killer looking to kill me," he said. "That's if I survive prison."

Carrie Ann Inaba Launches Animal Foundation
"It was always clear to me that I needed to give voice to those who couldn't speak out for themselves," Inaba, 44, tells PEOPLE. "To give them shelter through whatever storms they're going through."
Everything Inaba has pursued in her life since then, she says, has led to this very moment, and she is finally proud to announce that with the launch of The Carrie Ann Inaba Animal Project, she has achieved one of the things she has wanted her whole life.
For something that feels as natural as this, Inaba's road to her animal foundation was terrifying. "When you're really going after your true dreams, you're afraid of failure," she says. "I can't fail because this isn't for me, it's for the animals."
It took the death of her beloved cat Shadow last fall to kick the project into gear. At first, Inaba redirected her energy to fostering, which ended with her adopting four more pets. (Her total headcount: Squeaker, a 17-year-old cat; Taz, an 11-year-old special-needs cat; Bubble, a 1-year-old orange cat; Miley, a calico cat; Peanut, a Chihuahua; and Cookie, a boxer.) "I realized I was going to end up with 25 animals in my house if I wasn't careful," she says. "I needed to think bigger picture."
Inaba partnered with with the Entertainment Industry Foundation to lay the groundwork for the Animal Project, whose mission is to support the rescue, welfare and well-being of animals.
As part of the mission, Inaba has set the impressive goal of raising $1 million in her foundation's first year. To get there, she has set up an auction through Charity Buzz, where people can bid to win four tickets to the Dancing with the Stars finale.
"I'm giving away my own personal tickets to the finale," she says. "My friends are a bit upset with me."
Friendly gripes aside, Inaba feels fortunate to be in the position she's in.
"I'm very grateful that I have a job and am able to make a living," she says. "I don't need that much to live – we don't need that much to have a wonderful life. I learned that from animals."
For more about Carrie Ann Inaba's charity auction, which ends Nov. 8, visit her Charity Buzz page.

The 5 Most Ridiculously Unnecessary Modern Inventions
#2. Foursquare
Hey look, I'm the mayor of Douchetopia!
First, no you're not. Second, no one cares. The entire concept of Foursquare is one that literally no one understands. Not me, not you, not the guy who invented it. You sign in and it just lets you know where you are. I don't want to bust anyone's nut here, but I always know where I am. For instance, if I look down, I notice I'm right fuckin' here. Do you know where you are? Right there. So Foursquare is the middle man between me looking down and my brain registering where I am standing and I don't need that shit and neither do you.
If I need you to know where I am, I will probably let you know via phone call, email, text message, smoke signal or registered letter. I don't need to let the Internet know I'm at Maria's Rub n Tug, working on my happy ending badge. What the hell does that even mean? Have we decayed as a society to the point where we feel virtual badges for simply being somewhere are necessary? This is dumber than the gold star your first grade teacher gave you every time you didn't wipe your nose on your math worksheets.
Aaaaand I done put two sticks in my bun / So they recognize me when I come!
Twenty million people use Foursquare, and I guarantee most of them signed up because someone they know was using it and they foolishly assumed there had to be a reason for using it beyond the fact that it just says where you are all the time, like some semi-retarded town crier deluding you into thinking the rest of the world gives a shit if you're on the second floor of the mall near the Cinnabon. If that sounds cynical, I invite you to consider if you care to know that anyone else in the entire world is on the second floor of the mall near the Cinnabon. So help me God if you try to be contrary and answer that you do, because I know you don't and so do you.
Foursquare is e-fapping for narcissists who want to feel important. Imagine if you -- is there a slang term for how you use Foursquare, like tweeting or Facebooking? I'll call it Foursqueefing -- imagine if you Foursqueef that you're at Arby's and then like five sons of bitches you don't want to see show up because it posted it directly to your Facebook and Twitter also. Isn't that a risk you're running all the time? You either have to be OK with the creepy fact that anyone, at any time, can show up specifically to see you, or you're assuming/hoping no one would be that crazy, in which case you're just broadcasting your whereabouts for no goddamn reason at all. Screw Foursquare.
#1. The Entire Troy Hurtubise Invention Catalog
You've read about Troy Hurtubise and his bear-proof suit before. It's hard to say whether he's insane or just remarkably dimwitted, but it's pretty certain he has no idea what he's talking about. He started out trying to make a suit that could withstand a bear attack, the sort of thing that one never needs until they're being attacked by a bear, making it kind of impractical because you can't live your life that way. He then switched gears and said it was for bear research, because nothing lends itself to understanding an animal in its natural habitat better than being observed at close distances by a man in a Kevin Jamesian RoboCop suit.
As his idea evolved into a brand new insane thing, it left bears behind and became a military tour de force. Troy was creating a suit of armor that soldiers could use in wartime that would be able to withstand extreme temperatures, gunfire, explosions, fires and good sense.
Now on the surface, despite him admitting to being inspired by both RoboCop and Halo, it sounds like this thing could be extremely practical. It makes you indestructible, right? Ah, but wait -- there's a fatal flaw in your reasoning, and that is forgetting to acknowledge that Troy Hurtubise is nuttier than a pit beneath a squirrel outhouse.
You'd trust this man with military secrets, right?
In addition to the armor, Troy also invented something he called Angel Light that allowed him to look right through solid objects, including physics textbooks, without any interference. It could see right through a wall, but only through the skin of his hand. This then graduated to the God Light, a half-ton flashlight in his garage that was about twice as powerful as the sun. Or at least the light from it during the day. What did it do? Made seeds grow faster, cured Parkinson's and cancer and completely changed physics, according to a Ph.D. candidate from Japan named William Rieken.
Who is William Rieken? According to the Internet, he was working on some kind of snazzy UFO-like airplane. But try to Google him. His page at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology isn't able to be accessed. Most references to him direct you back to the article about Hurtubise whose author died four years ago. One article about his involvement in a space elevator competition links to his team's website, which sells penis pills. He's hard as hell to track down. After a call to Japan, where no one would acknowledge having heard of him, and four bounced emails to different addresses at defunct websites, I'm forced to conclude that if Rieken ever did exist, he's off the grid now, and if he ever did meet Hurtubise, I will bet you a steak dinner he never, ever said the things he's quoted as saying, because they're teabagging-a-donkey-on-a-Ferris-wheel crazy.
Basically Hurtubise, a man infamous for making preposterous claims in a documentary about making a bear suit, such as his father building an Indian village and surviving being attacked by a grizzly, not to mention his awesome martial arts skills, now claims to continually defy physics in his garage. He created physics-defying fireproof insulation out of Diet Coke, he created a beam that sees through solid objects and then converted it into a cancer-curing machine, and then he has super reliable military armor. Everything this guy touches is epic bullshit.

By Giftgiver

Long Remembered
By abebuff
from Fairview, OR
This book is an great addition to any Lincoln or history library. I hope Levenger will produce similar Lincoln books in the future, like one on Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address featuring full size images of his handwritten version and the printed version he read in 1865.
New Wisdom, Beauty and Power Revealed
By SuzyonthePotomac
from Washington, D.C.
Long Remembered is a poignant and revealing visual and literary journey through the five versions of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, an address that forever changed America. Levenger and the Library of Congress successfully provides the reader with a deeper examination of one of Lincoln's finest works. As the nation prepares to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, I can think of no holiday gift more timely or well suited for young readers, and those who love history than a book that will certainly be Long Remembered.
A gift well received
By USMAMike
from Las Vegas, NV
I was given Long Remembered as a gift and greatly enjoy learning even more about one of our nation's most remembered speeches. The quality is superb and the examination of the five versions offers deeper insight to the circumstances for each. Thank you for crafting a thoughtful gift of the highest caliber.

BRADENTON, Fla. - James McDonald is hardly concerned about the crispness of his fastball or the break on his curveball. And for that matter, the Pittsburgh Pirates' right-hander isn't overly focused on controlling an opponent's running game at the moment.
All McDonald really wants out of spring training is to put the ball where it's supposed to go following a second half last season when the only place the ball seemed to go was the outfield and beyond.
McDonald took his tentative first steps toward putting the final two months of last year behind him, pitching a pair of scoreless innings Sunday in a 9-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.
The 28-year-old walked one, struck out one and settled down in the second inning after needing 21 pitches to get through the first. He used just eight pitches to get three outs in the second, working a little faster than he's used to in an effort to keep his defense involved.
"When you slow the pace of the game up, it slows your defense up," McDonald said. "If you keep the game going, the pitches come a little faster, guys will be on their toes a little more and I'll probably be a little better."
Things certainly couldn't be much worse than the second half of last year, when he went 3-5 with a 7.52 ERA. The precision that helped him get off to a 10-3 start evaporated as the Pirates found themselves in the clutches of an actual postseason race.
Manager Clint Hurdle believes McDonald is the efficient guy who dazzled at times in the spring and early summer, not the one who limped to the finish.
An offseason that saw McDonald welcome his first child - a baby girl - helped put things in perspective. And with catcher Russell Martin keeping him on schedule, McDonald shook off a first-inning walk to Jason Heyward - who also hit a towering foul ball that traveled well over 400 feet - to get out of trouble.
"When it was up and away or up, I was able to make an adjustment and get it back down in the zone," McDonald said. "That's a big thing."
Clint Barmes went 2 for 2 with a two-run homer for the Pirates. Non-roster invitee Brad Hawpe added a two-run single.
Martin won't play
Russell Martin won't be moonlighting at shortstop after all.
Pittsburgh's new catcher will not play for Canada in the World Baseball Classic because Canadian, and Pirates officials weren't enamored with the idea of Martin moving from his normal position.
"It's a pretty simple reason," Martin said Sunday. "The Pittsburgh Pirate organization wasn't comfortable [with] me going to play shortstop over there. I don't think the Team Canada organization was too comfortable with me going to play shortstop."
Martin, who is from East York, Ontario, said he would rather not add to his workload by catching during the WBC. The three-time All-Star was drafted as a third baseman by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2002 before he was moved to catcher.
"I didn't want to put my body in a position where I'm going to have to catch however many innings of baseball during the tournament," Martin said. "I didn't want to put my body through the taxing experience."
Martin said last week he was looking forward to playing shortstop for Team Canada. The 30-year-old signed a $17 million, two-year contract with the Pirates in December and he said he'll use the extra time in spring training to get familiar with Pittsburgh's pitching staff.
"It wasn't that hard of a decision," Martin said.

California extends heat safety rules to ag workers
California extends heat safety rules to ag workers
Now when temperatures heat up in California, so will the responsibility of dairy and other farm owners to provide heat safety protection for their employees.
On August 20, the State Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board voted unanimously to extend existing standards for shade and water breaks during hot weather to five additional industries, including agriculture. Heat illness education and training, and protocols to ensure close observation and communication with employees during high heat periods, are also stipulated in the measure.
In 2005, California became the first state in the nation to adopt heat safety regulations to protect workers. There are approximately 400,000 farm employees in the state, according to the California Farm Bureau Federation. The revised standard is expected to take effect in October.
Heat relief procedures – making shade and drinking water readily available – are now mandatory when the temperature reaches 85 degrees. At 95 degrees, farm supervisors must also observe employees for signs of alertness and symptoms of heat illness; encourage them to drink plenty of water during their shift; and closely supervise new employees during their first 14 days.
"Everyone on the farm needs to take responsibility for heat safety: farmers and ranchers, supervisors, and employees themselves," said Bryan Little, CFBF director of labor affairs. "We will continue our efforts to make sure everyone understands what they need to do to remain safe on hot days."

After having three children, Jennie Garth worked hard to get her body into cover-girl shape, losing 30 pounds to sizzle in a bikini.
But, she says, she's fine with a little Easter chocolate indulgence – or even the occasional cupcake.
"Maintenance is definitely challenging. It's something you have to do daily," Garth said during a Lindt-sponsored charity auction in New York, benefitting Autism Speaks.
"You have to remind yourself what your priorities are," she told PEOPLE, "and remind yourself about staying healthy and living a healthy life."
But Garth, 40 – who starred last year in her own CMT reality series Jennie Garth: Little Bit Country,, and who split from Peter Facinelli in March 2012 after 11 years of marriage – says that doesn't mean she's totally depriving herself of a bite or two of her favorite white chocolate ("My weakness," she said) or baking with her three daughters.
In addition to her discipline with her diet, she maintains a gluten-free lifestyle and enjoys daily exercise.
"Every day, I try to schedule something in, whether it's hiking with my dog or jogging or going to the gym," said Garth, who's currently dating Big Gigantic drummer Jeremy Salken. "Those are the things I'm focused on right now."

The medium has been tested with 11 cell lines and clones, including CHO K1, CHO DP-12 and CHO DHFR, and can generate concentrations of over 1.7 x 107 cells/mL, dependent on the cell line, the firm adds. CHOMACS CD represents the partners base medium and will be followed by a feed supplement.
Miltenyi and TeutoCell are in addition developing specialized culture media for HEK and hytridoma cells. The products will be chemically defined, as well as animal component- and protein-free or with low protein content, to facilitate downstream purification and regulatory compliance.
"TeutoCell is committed to continually improving cell culture technology, while Miltenyi Biotec's expertise in cell processing, cell analysis, and GMP production makes it an ideal partner for us to develop innovative technologies," remarks Stefan Northoff, TeutoCell CEO.

Life-saving heroes recognized
Martinsburg City Council commends patrolman, EMTs and school nurse
April 22, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Martinsburg City Council members showed their appreciation at Thursday's council meeting for several members of the city's fire and police departments....
Outstanding! The EMT folks said they were only doing their jobs. Yes, in a sense that's true but there is no doubt that every one of them would have done exactly the same things for the boy if they had been on leave and help was needed. Soldiers who fight are only doing their jobs too. But some of them are awarded the Silver Star or Medal of Honor. Just a great job all around!

MILL HALL - In any sport, it is difficult to face a team three times in one season.
It is extremely tough when that third game happens to be the semifinals in the district tournament.
After splitting the regular season series, that is exactly what happened when Hollidaysburg came to Malinak Stadium to square off with Central Mountain.
Article Photos
Photo for the Mirror by Nate Wilson
Hollidaysburg keeper Peyton Civils collides with Johnna Garbick.
"It is extremely difficult," Central Mountain coach Ryan Veltri said. " They started to get used to you and your players and understand what you do."
With a trip to the District 6 Class AAA finals on the line, Hollidaysburg walked away victorious, 1-0, on Tuesday.
"I thought it was a well-played game by both sides," Hollidaysburg coach Dave Soellner said. "Central Mountain has a tremendous group of kids and you know they are coming to battle. It is very difficult to beat a team like them after seeing them twice already."
Each team pushed the tempo in a back-and-forth game, with neither defense willing to give in.
For most of the first half, it looked like a track meet broke out on Malinak Stadium, as both teams flew up and down the pitch, just looking for a chance.
Hollidaysburg had the first opening - in the 36th minute of play.
Lady Tiger Michele Muir scored a ball in front of the CM goal off a corner kick and chipped a ball out of a scrum into the back the net.
"I was thrilled with Muir's goal." Soellner said. "We worked on set pieces this week and a lot of games come down to them - especially in district playoffs."
Muir's goal was all Hollidaysburg's Peyton Civils needed.
CM applied the pressure to Civils and the Tiger defense, but could not break through.
"I am very happy with Civils' performance," Soellner said. "She works hard every day and being a junior, I am glad she is back next year. She did well. We worked on her being more vocal and communicating with her defense. She did that well tonight. Tonight I give her an A-plus."
For the night, Civils came up with eight saves - including a barrage of shots late in the game.
"I am very proud, but I couldn't do it without my defense," Civils said. "We have a great group of seniors and it was nice to get that win for them. As the clock was winding down, I was excited but didn't want to jinx us by thinking we were going to win too early."
For the final 20 minutes of the game, Central Mountain fought hard to keep the attack on Hollidaysburg. The Lady Wildcats outshot Hollidaysburg, 14-6.
"In the last few games, we have dominated the stats in terms of shots," Veltri said. "I was happy with our attack. We just didn't have an end piece."
For its reward, Hollidaysburg will face State College on Thursday for the District 6 Class AAA title.
"We are going to regroup tomorrow and put a game plan together," Soellner said. "It is going to be a nail-biter for sure. It will be the first time we'll face State College this year. Anything can happen in districts. We need to focus on one game at a time."
Hollidaysburg1 0 - 1
Central Mountain0 0 - 0
First Half: 1, H - Muir, 4:37.

Call our customer service representatives and get expert advices for your Dremel tool.
Freqently Asked Questions
A: Simply unthread the end of the housing, called a housing cap on the rotary tool, and the Chain Saw Sharpening Attachment will thread on in place of the housing cap.
A: This attachment works on all Dremel rotary tools with a threaded nosepiece (the vast majority). On the older tools the threads are different or do not exist. Unfortunately, we do not have a safe way to adapt this to older tools.
A: Dremel® offers three different size sharpening stones that can be used with this attachment. We have a 5/32" stone (#453), a 3/16" (#454) stone and a 7/32" stone (#455). These stones are sized in the same way that an actual sharpening file would be sized. When in doubt, refer to the specific owner's manual for your chain/chain saw. They will be able to provide the proper recommendation for the size stone/file you will need to successfully sharpen your chain.
A: Obviously, the stones are different sizes. That puts each stone in a slightly different spot in relation to the guide on the tool. To eliminate that gap, spacers are needed to make up the difference.
A: The gauge measures the distance or space between the guide and the stone. The screws that hold the clamp and guide together actually thread into elongated holes. The holes are elongated so the guide can be adjusted. The amount of play is about the difference between side 1 and side 2 of the gauge and placing the stone with no gauge requirement.
A: The cutting part of a chain saw blade is the top of the tooth and not the inside curved portion close to the bar. Be sure to lift up on the attachment to sharpen the underside of the top part of the chain saw tooth. Lifting upward during sharpening will provide a superior cut and high satisfaction.

80 years after the repeal of Prohibition, we may be able to legally drink, but we are not free to choose what we drink. We still live in Prohibition's highly restrictive aftermath- A mess of ridiculous, state-by-state, anti-consumer, legislation that limits what you can purchase and who and where you can purchase from.
Hypothetically, replace wine with other products - What if you could not buy an iPhone in your state, a Toyota Prius, or even Grape Nuts???? Even if those products were not available in your state, but were available direct from the manufacturer, or a store in another state (where their residents can buy that product), or online from a small retailer, or a behemoth like Amazon-- What if it were impossible, or illegal (in some states a felony) to buy or ship those products? You would revolt and ask why can CA get all snugggy in some deep-funkn' Lucky Charms and I can only get some weak-a@! Marshmallow Mateys???? You would petition and fight because you do not have consumer equality and you crave the authentic marshmallow driven cereal! If you live in KY for instance, when it comes to buying wine, you have less rights than your neighbors in IL (well, if you live in KY, in regards to wine, you basically have less rights than almost anyone).
"Yeah, but isn't this just the backwoods, or that state where they shot Children of the Corn?"
No. A progressive, sophisticated, and cultured state like Massachusetts (where I was born), has been one of the most difficult.
On a state by state basis, consumer choices are limited for several reasons. None of them with consumer good in mind. The real reason, is that we allow our elected officials to be controlled by the special interests that profit most from restricting your choices and limiting the rights and consumer equality of each state's citizens.
So on the 80th anniversary repealing prohibition, before cracking open a bottle, please take a moment to take action. If you live in a state with restrictions (find them here), write your representives and demand that you have those restrictions repealed If you would like to be more active, sign up and become a consumer member of The American Wine Consumer Coalition.
This is simple-- If of legal age, you should be able to buy what you want, from who and where you want.
