text: On this date in 1744, Jean Baptiste LaMarck was born in France, and later educated at the Jesuit College in Amiens. He left the seminary to join the Army and fight in Germany. After five years of service, he was injured and turned to the study of botany. LaMarck was appointed Royal Botanist in 1781. He became professor of invertebrate zoology at the Natural History Museum in 1793, and was the first to coin the word "invertebrate." LaMarck wrote Philosophie Zoologique (1809), proposing an early theory of evolution, a now-discredited but thoughtful theory on the inheritance of acquired traits. Darwin and others eventually hailed LaMarck, who died in obscurity and poverty, for doing the "eminent service of arousing attention to the probability of all changes in the organic, as well as in the inorganic world, being the result of law, and not of miraculous interposition." LaMarck was a Deist in the classical sense. D. 1829.

Exactly one year ago, I was finalizing plans for my daughter's volcano birthday cake. Little did I know that signing her up for hula class would lead to a luau-themed party complete with erupting cake. In hula, all dances tell stories, and, of course, the volcano dance made a serious impression. Since I'll spend the coming weekend working on entirely different cake for her seventh birthday, l need to write about the erupting volcano cake now, or I probably never will.
Anyone who knows my family could tell you that the prospect of this cake excited my scientist husband more than soon-to-be-six-year-old Eliza. In fact, when she first requested the cake, he didn't miss a beat: "If you can make the cake, I can make it erupt." He had the details for our confectionery explosion worked out in no time. Dropping a few pieces of dry ice inside a test tube and then injecting raspberry Jell-O produces an instant, impressive, and crowd-pleasing eruption.
I wish I could say I figured out how to make the cake itself as easily. The idea of baking cakes, stacking them, and then carving them into a volcano seemed daunting. I puzzled over what to do until my friend Val suggested shaping a Rice Crispy treat volcano. I can't stand Rice Crispy treats, so this never would have occurred to me, but it didn't take me long to realize that I had the solution to my volcano problems.
The Rice Crispy-marshmallow combination provided the perfect medium for mountain building. After getting the shape just right, I shoved a test tube into the mountaintop. Next I covered two sheet cakes with a base layer of frosting and then covered them with blue fondant. Atop my sugary sea, I added a layer of sand colored fondant that would serve as the island from which the volcano rose. Since volcanoes are generally rough and rugged, I didn't worry about folds as I covered the rice crispy treat volcano with brown fondant. After making a hole in the top to uncover the test tube, I added fondant lava, and then set the volcano on top of the prepped sheet cakes.
Technically, we had our volcano cake, but it didn't look finished to me. Clearly 3 am delirium had me in its grips as I started forming sea creatures, rocks, and plants for the island and cake base. My husband grabbed a bag of pretzels and formed some fantastic palm trees. One even included a sea gull.
I don't know if Orca whales hang out in Hawaii, but since they're regulars here in the San Juan Islands, I couldn't resist making one for the cake.
Eliza loved her tropical volcano cake, and so did her friends. After the smoking, molten eruption, we witnessed a birthday party first. The kids didn't want us to cut into the cake and serve it to them, they wanted my husband to make it erupt again. And so he did.
This year's cake will not erupt. Let's hope the kids (and my husband) don't feel cheated.

Most of the time, summer camp is about hiking, bug bites and summer memories. But this summer, some California high school students will swap the lanyards and sleeping bags for cellos and pirouettes.
For seven years, inmates at a Southern California state prison have learned to express themselves through acting, acquiring skills that actor Tim Robbins says can change their lives. The program will now expand as the California Arts Council and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced Thursday it will spend $2.5 million over the next two years to bring the arts to 14 state prisons.
California's program will be the largest, serving 6,000 students in Kings, San Bernardino, San Diego, Los Angeles, Alameda, Monterey, Humboldt, Jan Joaquin and Contra Costa counties this fall. All of the schools are within the bottom five percent of the most challenged schools in the country, according to the selection criteria.

This single — from The Great Escape Artist, Jane's Addiction's first album in eight years, due September 27th — comes on like an art-metal freak show set on some distant planet. It opens with Perry Farrell sounding like Carl Sagan in an episode of Cosmos, musing ominously about the stars and some sort of big bang. The verses are built around droning funk, as the band backs Farrell's ponderings with a rubbery bass line and some clattering percussion. But then Farrell unleashes that familiar majestic bray of his, asks whether we wonder what the band looks like naked (uh, that horse has left the barn, dude) and announces, "God is a real man." Or is it "God isn't real, man?" Whatever: Giant guitar swarms from Dave Sitek and Dave Navarro soon blow away Farrell's philosophizing.
This review was updated to reflect the following: Dave Sitek is not a co-producer for The Great Escape Artist, but rather a member of the album's creative team. The album's producer is Rich Costey.

Los Angeles Experience
Little Tokyo
Originally the neighborhood of Los Angeles' Japanese community, this Downtown spot has been deserted by many of its founding immigrants, although it still remains only one of three official Japantowns in the country, all of which are in California.
However, the area has recently begun to blossom again thanks to the next generation of Japanese-Americans setting up small businesses here mixed with an influx of foot traffic coming in from neighboring redevelopment projects and newly built condos.
Little Tokyo has dozens of sushi bars, tempura restaurants, karaoke bars, and trinket shops selling electronic toys, lanterns, and Hello Kitty tchotchkes.
On 1st Street you'll find the only strip of intact buildings from the early 1900s. Look down when you get near San Pedro Street, to see the art installation "Omoide no Shotokyo" ("Remembering Old Little Tokyo").
Embedded in the sidewalk are brass inscriptions naming the original businesses, quoted reminiscences from Little Tokyo residents, and steel timelines of Japanese-American history up to World War II. Nisei Week (a nisei is a second-generation Japanese) is celebrated here every August with traditional drums, dancing, a carnival, and a huge parade.
What to See
Aside from the restaurants and shops, there's a lovely garden at the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center, a good resource for ongoing local events. There's also the Japanese American National Museum, which maintains its original site, a renovated Buddhist temple from 1925 that has an ornately-designed entrance.
Getting Here
Little Tokyo is bounded by 1st, San Pedro, 3rd, and Central streets.
Best Time to Go
The area tends to get a bit deserted at night, so it's best to come in the later part of the afternoon on weekdays.
Touring Tips
Because of its location right near other top attractions Downtown—including the Geffen Contemporary—it's the perfect spot to stop for an inexpensive and interesting lunch. Grab some sushi and pick up a bag full of authentic Japanese sweets to keep you going while sightseeing.

I recently broke down and bought a true center channel after I had been using two r15s bolted together in a rectangular fashion and I must admit that the CSi30 kicks *ss. The vocals are a lot more broad as far as frequency is concerned and dispersion is top notch. I will be using the CSi30s 5.25" blue drivers in the R40s and the RTi28 5.25" drivers in the R10s.

It must be all the current hype about the Presidential Election on November 6th. You can't watch TV, read the newspaper, open the mail, or receive a home phone call without another political message trying to get your attention.
When I drove up to my office one morning late last week, I even had an unauthorized political lawn sign in the grass in front of my building. It was in the dumpster before I even opened the front door.
In the just ended presidential debates and on the campaign trail, both presidential candidates focus most of their dialogue on "what I will do in the future."
All the talk about things will be different in the future has taken individual stock market investor focus off the present. This is an especially dangerous state of mind as more announcements come out every day about lower U.S. company earnings in the future.
The majority of Minnesota investors own stocks through their company retirement plan account. The truth is that these investors don't look at themselves as active stock market investors. These people realized many years ago that thinking about, watching, and reacting to economic and stock market events is not for them.
The main reason that individual company retirement plan participants stick to a buy-and-hold investment management policy with their stock market investments is that they don't have the interest, the time, or the confidence in anything else.
Twice in the last ten years, individual company retirement plan participants have lost one-half of the value of their company retirement plan accounts. When you throw in the housing depression, U.S. economic crises, Europe crises and the increased costs of everything from gas to college, it is no wonder that most people think that the best investment strategy now is to buy-and-hope that things will improve after November 6th.
The stock market does not know, or care, if you own it. It also does not care who the president is now or next January. The stock market is going to react to economic and political events its own way.
Every stock market investor has the burden to make the necessary adjustments as to how much risk they want to take with their money now and going forward.
Get out your most recent September 30, 2012 quarterly retirement plan account statement. Make very sure that you know what kind of mutual funds you are invested in now.
You don't want to be 100% invested in the stock market when company earnings are doing down. You also don't want to be invested in bonds when interest rates begin to rise. Both of these investment conditions have already begun.
Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election, the U.S. stock market is at a crossroads right now. Be ready to respond in your company retirement plan account to each event. The best investment management decisions you make for your long-term investment future will be the ones you make in the present.

Practical support and mentoring
One way that organisations may be able to provide practical support to another NFP organisation is through sharing resources – for example, a policy and procedure or a manual that has been developed to meet the guidelines for a particular program or how to run a program.
Mentoring is another way in which an experienced and skilled agency may be able to support another group or organisation. The model promoted under the Multicultural Community Services Network (MCSN) involves an identified number of one-to-one sessions between the mentor and mentee to develop knowledge and skills for a specific activity. Go to Mentoring Resources.
It is important to be clear what you want from a mentoring arrangement and to participate in the process as agreed at the start of the arrangement as both parties are often very busy.
You can find out more about practical support and mentoring on the "What Multicultural Organisations Need" and "Who is Offering What" pages.

Full Moon is a West Coast style pale ale that is both kettle hopped and dry hopped with Centennial and Cascades.The hops provide this ale with a nice citrus-like taste to balance out the caramel malts.
West Coast style pale ales are from a larger category of brews called American Pale Ale (APA). The APA is a cleaner and slightly hoppier version of British Pale Ales using North American hop varieties but everything else remains the same, right down to the balance between malts and hops to the medium body. With the additional hops APA tends to produce nice fruit-like flavours while balancing out the bitterness from the hops used in the process.

Performed by Kimiko Ishizaka on a Bösendorfer 290 Imperial in Berlin's Teldex Studio, there's already plenty to love about a new cut of Bach's Goldberg Variations. But this one is also the first fan-funded, open source, and completely free recording of it.
"Every part of it is free for you to use, share, and copy," said Robert Douglass, who launched the successful Kickstarter project behind Werner Schweer's new version of the classic score and its production.
Schweer's modernized and digitized score was itself created with free and open source software from MuseScore.com.
The producers said their goal was to be "precise to Bach's instruction, yet full of personality and character".
"To help make this recording truly timeless, we need your help. Share it. Give it away. Introduce others to its beauty, and explain to them why you love it," Douglass wrote. "Make yourself responsible for converting another person to being a Bach fan."
The production's website is at opengoldbergvariations.org. Five double CDs of the recording will be given away to listeners who sign up for a promotion. There's also a facebook page for the project and a twitter account to follow.
Wisconsin Public Radio also developed a website to accompany its broadcast of the Open Goldberg Variations, opengoldberg.wpr.org, which will display the score in real-time so listeners can "see" the music there as it plays: "a first-ever event, proving bleeding edge technologies," says Douglass.

You may note that Variation 8 is missing from the SoundCloud widget for the time being. Ironic as it seems, that track was flagged for copyright violation against Sony Music. They make it hard putting stuff into the public domain! The track will be available as soon as it works its way through SoundCloud's review process.
SoundCloud released #8 so the set is now complete.
Paul Renault says:
From the sample I've listened to so far, she a softer touch and plays a little faster, and a little less choppy than Glenn Gould's version – which I adore. Hers might be closer to the sound that the clavier would make.
I'll be listening to this later today – I hope to be able to enjoy it as much.
It's astounding to think that the Goldberg Variations were once considered too obscure, too intellectual to appeal to the masses.
We're hoping that people will write honest and thoughtful reviews of the recording. Anybody who does so gets a double CD mailed to them =) http://www.opengoldbergvariations.org/review-open-goldberg-variations-and-get-double-cd-free

So far nothing beats the Gould '81, but I'll take a listen…

drukqs says:
I have to admit, I never really understood the typesetting aspect of this project. Why reinvent the wheel when there are already numerous perfectly acceptable public domain scores available at IMSLP? If it's about re-engraving it, there's already been a lilypond version of the score at mutopiaproject.org since 2007. Given the glaring mistakes in the score on a cursory glance, it can't be about crowdsourcing the editing and layout.
Please let us know what mistakes you find. They'll be corrected (one advantage over the IMSLP PDFs that are available). The digital score lets you do things like embed it in websites, and create score following programs that listen along and highlight the music. We'll be demonstrating the score following aspect at the Classical:NEXT conference this week: http://www.classicalnext.com/program/showcases/live_showcases
Nick Mailer says:
It is not just another electronic copy of the score. It's a digital, mungible score. Effectively, a "source" has been created so that it can be used for much more than just a PDF "engraving".
And instead of an empty acid barb, how about helping to fix these "glaring" mistakes?
drukqs says:
Nick, I feel it's a legitimate criticism. I understand what is trying to be accomplished, and noted that it already exists in code form, here, freely available and editable, for instance:
Mind you, lilypond lacks the front-end polish of musescore's software, but at least ideologically, both typesetting projects appear to be treading the same waters.
As to your complaint of my empty acid barb, I would draw a comparison between the typesetting aspect of this project and wikipedia. If errors exist, I reserve the right to point them out as I see it, caveat: IMHO; I signed up for wikipedia and am totally willing to make edits there, but I never signed up for this project.
If Robert is still following this thread, perhaps he could shed some light on the editing process, and if it done in a wikipedia-like style.
Unfortunately, general browser support for editing music notation is non-existant. I complained about this recently in the International Arts Manager: http://internationalartsmanager.com/news.php?id=706 Thus the editing is done with the MuseScore desktop app. The online version can be annotated, however, so mistakes can be noted in the context of the score itself.
Aurvondel says:
Even better than a modern score are scans of the original publication with Bach's own corrections, available at IMSLP, which are clean enough to play from (though with an occasional c3 clef, something modern keyboardists rarely deal with).
range says:
Reading through the project's notes on kickstarter and the website, I got the notion that the project wanted to donate a high quality recording of the Goldberg Variations to the public domain. If that is right, then I wonder why the project offers the files as 128kbit/s mp3s instead of using a format which can be used for archival *and* transformation into other digital formats, like flac or Apple's lossless audio format. If you're scared about the amount of data which has to be downloaded: I am sure that someone will be able to upload a torrent of this – and the Internet Archive might also be interested in a copy :)
If the audio CDs were under the same license, someone sooner or later *will* put them on "the internet" in a lossless version anyway – if that hasn't happened already …
EDIT: I guess I forgot to the thank the project for doing what they did – and their backers on kickstart. If the above sounded a bit negative – it wasn't meant like that, I was just wondering why the use of a great recording studio and a great grand piano and then only 128kbit/s mp3s :)
Nick Mailer says:
The CDs are released under the same licence, yes. And, indeed, I'm sure I noticed FLAC and other options available earlier. Perhaps there are temporary bandwidth constraints :-) I'm sure they'll return.
I had to request the FLAC version be remade, it had a glitch in it. They'll be posted within the next days. And yes – I'm the one who will be uploading the torrents of them =) The goal here is to make the recording – also in lossless quality – available to everybody.
range says:
Ah okay. I guess I'll recheck then in a few days :)
John Eikenberry says:
Looks like the flacs are available now.
Summer Seale says:
Thank you soooo much! This is one of my favorite pieces of music ever. I have the Gould Variations, of course, but this one is a welcome addition to my collection as well. =)
Aaron Gilliland says:
Can we get some open source Glenn Gould humming?
vintermann says:
Who wants to bet that a track of moaning and off-key humming will be the first derivative work of this release?
Brett Jordan says:
if you want itunes cover art, i've prepared a version up to 2048 x 2048 pixels
Guillaume Francois says:
I would like to praise Gustav Leonhardt's recordings.
ecologist says:
The open source concept is nice, the music is beautiful, but OMG, that room!!!
felsby says:
please, an ALAC version. FLAC and iTunes means work :-(
Aurvondel says:
In any given year these days, three or four or more recordings of the Goldberg Variations get released. A couple will be performed on harpsichord, most of the others on piano. Occasionally, a clavichord or organ or string quartet version will sneak in. There are dozens of recordings to choose from, in the last 40 years. It's really hard to get excited about an "open source" one.
There is vast, vast amounts of really interesting keyboard music out there, unrecorded–heck, vast amounts that exist in no modern typeset editions, unlike the Goldberg pieces which have been engraved and typeset and otherwise published many many times.
vintermann says:
I did get the "almost" open source one from Magnatune by the Harpsichord builder Janine Johnson, and I already had a version by Blandine Verlet and a notorious one by Glenn Gould, and I'm still quite excited about this. Mostly because of what it may herald, of course – I'm still waiting for Musopen's project, it should be delivered real soon now (it was supposed to be delivered real soon for a long time, but unless Aaron Dunn has been outright lying in his status updates – and I don't think so! – it can't be much longer now).A more important objection to this project, I think, is that there already was an excellent open source typeset version of the score, made with Lilypond and posted to Mutopia. So that seemed a little duplication of effort.
MuseScore.com says:
There was indeed already a Lilypond version of the score, but we all missed a version in the open standard MusicXML. Now you can open the Goldberg Variations in any notation software that supports MusicXML. Want to add fingerings to the score, print it differently, … now you can with any software. It's truly open source now.

If you have a big house renovation project in New Jersey, renting a dumpster is a great idea. Having a dumpster means you can clean out the waste in one go, saving you multiple trips to the nearest landfill. It makes it cheaper in the long run as well, as some landfills require an entrance fee for every trip. It's a good idea to hire a dumpster even if you aren't entirely sure of the amount of waste you'll generate, because such projects often produce more debris than you expect.
It's amazing the amount of waste renovation can create. When you knock down a wall, not only is there plaster and bricks to fix up, but there are also structural supports. There are also wires inside the walls that need to be taken out before it can go into waste disposal. This is why it's often better to over-estimate the level of waste you will be generating.
You should remember that in some New Jersey cities, you will need a permit if you want to park your dumpster on the street or sidewalk. Not having a permit will result in hefty fines. The reason for the permit is to make sure there is public liability insurance in case anything happens, and this protects both yourself and the city. You should check your city's website before hiring a dumpster to confirm their regulations, and contact them if you need further clarification. Dumpster rental companies can also help you with the process, as they will be familiar with the requirements.
When you hire a dumpster truck, it should have a State identification number. It should also have the name, address and number of the company. The dumpster truck should also come with reflectors and other devices warning pedestrians and road users of its presence. We make sure that the companies in our database will have all these ready when you hire them.
Some dumpster rental companies in New Jersey can also help with recycling items. This is great if you are environmentally-conscious and want to reduce the amount that goes into landfill. Also, as landfill waste tends to be measured in weight, being able to reduce the amount that gets sent there can cut down costs for you.
If you are thinking of recycling waste, some items that can be recycled include paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and aluminum. Each dumpster truck company will have different rates for recycling items. Usually items like glass, plastic and aluminum will be placed together, while paper and cardboard are often separated.
There are several different dumpster truck sizes. We can ease the process by showing you sizes and dimensions so you can make a proper estimate of how big your project will be, and what hauler will suit your needs.
Due to the differences in city regulations and fees, the cost of hiring a dumpster truck differs between cities. The prices can vary widely at times. We take the hassle out of that for you by showing you quotes from your local area, making it easier for you to compare rates. You'll be surprised by the variations from city to city.
We try to remove the uncertainty from dumpster rental by giving you clear quotes on what you can expect to pay. We have many New Jersey companies who will give flat fee prices for truck rental, to help you avoid hidden costs like environmental fees and fuel. If there are any additional charges due to weight or charges for extra days, we make sure the companies in our databases will quote you clearly for them.
The most important thing we want is to make you can easily compare quotes from companies. Instead of having to call several businesses, we will call them for you. We are in contact with many New Jersey dumpster hire firms and we are sure to find one located near you.
We also make sure the companies we receive quotes from are reliable and timely. There is nothing more frustrating than waiting for a dumpster truck to arrive well beyond the designated time. It can slow down your day. The companies on our databases have a reputation for being on time, making sure you can get on with your day.

We have a new web design project before us. We sit down to our desk and open up the blank Photoshop page . Wait a minute. You already went to far. Lets rewind a bit. Lets first think about 5 things we should keep in mind when you design your next web site.
1. Competitors
How often do you think about the clients competitors. This is important to do since their competitors are reaching for the same attention from a focused target group. When looking at the characters you can look for things like: How do there clients feel about their product or services. You can do this by reading reviews and social conversations. This will provide you with valuable information on where you can improve the brand of your client. Also look at what features they may have incorporated into their web sites and why. We aren't saying copy them, but look at what they have done and see if you can improve on what they were trying to accomplish.
2. Social Media
Why is thinking about social media important in your web design? Social media web sites are the main areas where people will be talking about the services and products of your client. People will continue to talk about a brand for better or for worse and it's important that your client has an effective hold on their brand in these areas. What are some ways you can incorporate social media into your web design? One thing you can do is tie social media into their brand itself. How? You can incorporate social media in your design by making areas that promote individuals to like the company on Facebook. If your site has login capabilities maybe you can design the site in a way that encourages the user to log in with their Facebook account. Think about how you can create a design that will encourage the customers to be actively communicating about the brand.
3. Web Technology
Web Technology is constantly improving. You may be used to designing a site with a certain web technology in mind. Why not research whats new and available, and see if you can create a design that can make the most use of newer web technologies like HTML 5 and CSS3 and jQuery. Think about how you can design the web site to use these new technologies to present information in an accessible way.
4. Mobile Platforms
What about mobile platforms? The mobile web is becoming even more popular due to the increase in sales of tablets and smart phones. In fact there are more people doing most of their web surfing on these devices rather than desktop computers. You should think about how your design will look on these devices. Learn about the different screen sizes and resolutions that these devices are using. Find out what technologies you can use to create a better experience, and do some research to check out what some other web design firms have created for mobile platforms.
5. Inspiration
Inspiration can be found all over the web. Some of my favorite sites to get inspiration from are thebestdesigns.com and bestwebgallery.com. When viewing these look at how the different designers use typography, color and space. All these will help a great deal in fueling your imagination when it comes to your next web design project.
These are only five of the things that have helped me prepare for a web design projects and I know there are much more. Please share in the comments some of your favorite things you keep in mind when designing a web site.
Check out some of our web sites as well on our work section of this web site.

ANNA MARIA As she watched a front-loader unsuccessfully search for the remains of her missing friend Sabine Musil-Buehler Tuesday, Suzi Fox of Anna Maria Turtle and Shorebird Monitoring remembered Musil-Buehler as a fun-loving person with a good soul.
She was the most creative and talented person you could ever meet, Fox said Tuesday as the Manatee County Sheriffs Offices dig for Musil-Buehler worked between Cedar and Palmetto avenues without coming up with any additional clues.
Give her a common chore and she would create a masterpiece, Fox saidof her long-time fellow turtle advocate.
Fox once asked Musil-Buehler just to put down the names of Turtle Watch members on a card for an event.
Musil-Buehler created a huge poster filled with sea colors and drawings. Fox ended up hanging it in her house for years.
It was supposed to be like a program and it turned into art, Fox said.
Although Tuesdays beach search didnt turn anything up, authorities plan to push ahead into Wednesday and will take another look at the big picture after that, said Randy Warren, a sheriffs office spokesman.
I want to find her, said a determined Detective John Kenney of the sheriffs office as he monitored Tuesdays dig from an all-terrain vehicle on the beach.
They are digging a little deeper today, Fox said Tuesday.
Musil-Buehler was the kind of person who threw a party every time the season changed. The house she shared with her husband, Thomas Buehler, was on a canal on Anna Maria Island and was one of those houses you could visit 50 times and find something new to enjoy every time, Fox said.
She was a master gardener who recycled and composted everything, Fox said. Their home was an oasis. Friends would come over from her native Germany and stay with her for long periods of time.
I came over to her house once for a party and she said, You need to learn to dance the Macarena, Fox said. She said, Just stand behind me. Ill teach you.'"
The small, but artful, Haleys Motel on Anna Maria Island, which Musil-Buehler and her husband operated, was the Islands first pet-friendly motel, Fox said.
Sabine would feed baby, orphaned wild birds with an eye-dropper, Fox said. You knew her motel would allow animals. She loved them. She loved life. Thats why its hard to believe anyone would kill her. Get mad at her, sure, I can understand that. She was strong-willed. She would scream at you one minute and invite you to dinner the next. But slam the door and leave. I cant imagine anyone killing her.
Fox said she kind of hopes that when Musil-Buehler is finally found, its not on the beach.
Were actually pleased that maybe we can soon eliminate the beach as a possibility, Fox said. It will give us a sense of peace every time we come here if we can believe that our good friend isnt buried here. But if she is found here, that would at least bring a sense of closure.
Fox doesnt ever remember meeting Thomas Cumber, the man authorities say was the last person to see Musil-Buehler alive in November 2008.
Cumber, who is serving a 13-year sentence in a Panhandle prison for violating terms of his probation, is said to be a person of interest in Musil-Buehlers disappearance.
I often think of her as the kind of woman who likes to rescue orphans of all kinds, Fox said.

Quick sip
Indian Wells Brewing, up north in Inyokern, Calif., is best known for a reddish lager called Mojave Red (they even use mojave-red.com as the brewery's website name), but it produces a wide range of brews. For the Whole Foods Market chain, it's making an attractive dry stout: dark, practically opaque, but with no molasses note and a low level of bitterness. The finish has a faint burnt flavor and a touch of sweetness, and altogether it's an exceptionally well-behaved stout, one that doesn't become tiring after a single glass. It would be great with cheesy dishes such as macaroni and cheese.

To tell the truth freely : the life of Ida B. Wells /
Call Number: E185.97.W55 B39 2009
Born to slaves in 1862, Ida B. Wells became a fearless antilynching crusader, women's rights advocate, and journalist. Wells's refusal to accept any compromise on racial inequality caused her to be labeled a "dangerous radical" in her day but made her a model for later civil rights activists as well as a powerful witness to the troubled racial politics of her era. In the richly illustrated To Tell the Truth Freely, the historian Mia Bay vividly captures Wells's legacy and life, from her childhood in Mississippi to her early career in late nineteenth-century Memphis and her later life in Progressive-era Chicago.
Devil's sanctuary : an eyewitness history of Mississippi hate crimes /
Call Number: HV6773.53.M7 A47 2009
Lynchings, beatings, arson, denial of rights, false imprisonment--the civil rights era brought attention to these heinous offenses that were the status quo for African Americans in many areas of the country. And no state was more notorious as a sanctuary for the murderers and perpetrators of hate crimes than Mississippi. In 1956 state lawmakers installed the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission to preserve segregation and "Mississippi Values" by declaring the state outside the jurisdiction of the federal government.
At the hands of persons unknown : the lynching of Black America /
Call Number: HV6464 .D73 2002
It is easy to shrink from our country's brutal history of lynching. Lynching is called the last great skeleton in our nation's closet: It terrorized all of black America, claimed thousands upon thousands of victims in the decades between the 1880s and the Second World War, and leaves invisible but deep scars to this day. The cost of pushing lynching into the shadows, however—misremembering it as isolated acts perpetrated by bigots on society's fringes—is insupportably high: Until we understand how pervasive and socially accepted the practice was—and, more important, why this was so—it will haunt all efforts at racial reconciliation.
This mob will surely take my life : lynchings in the Carolinas, 1871-1947 /
Call Number: HV6465.N67 B354 2008X
A comprehensive history of lynching and mob violence in North and South Carolina, focusing on seven specific case studies from the region.

Champions on the Rock
After two-and-half months, more than two-dozen secret ingredients and approximately 2,000 diners served, the 2011 Fire on the Rock Chefs Challenge came down to two chefs duking it out at the Hayes Performing Arts Center.
A centerpiece of the Blue Ridge Wine and Food Festival, the finals of the Fire on the Rock Chefs challenge took place April 17 and featured Chef Michael Barbato and his team from the Manor House at Chetola Resort versus Chef Nicole Palazzo and her team from Sorrento's Bistro in Banner Elk.
Palazzo, the only female chef of the entire competition, was attempting to be the first "queen of cuisine" in the five-year-old chefs challenge.
But it was not to be.
Barbato outscored Chef Palazzo 223 to 203 during a final competition that featured striped bass as its central ingredient. Each chef team had an hour to prepare three unique dishes. Those dishes were then presented to a panel of judges, including professional restaurant reviewer John Batchelor, Southern Living magazine writer Shirley Harrington and food editor of Raleigh-based Metro magazine Moreton Neal.
Barbato's team included Hunter Hallmark and Colin Hendricks.
Palazzo and her team prepared blackened striped bass with a corn and avocado relish, bass with a lemon beurre blanc on a potato cake, and pan-seared striped bass with a roasted red pepper cream sauce.
Barbato and his team countered with a trio plate featuring smoked bass and side dishes, parmesan-encrusted striped bass with lemon caper sauce, and black sesame and chili-encrusted striped bass.
The preliminary rounds of the 2011 Fire on the Rock competition took place at Crippen's Country Inn and Restaurant during weeknight duals in February and March. Each event attracted more than 100 diners who served as guests and judges during the single elimination tournament.
Unlike the semifinals and finals at the Hayes Center, for the preliminary rounds, both teams had more than six hours to prepare their three dishes after learning the identity of the secret ingredient.
"It was much more challenging to prepare three dishes in an hour," Barbato said. "In fact, we really had a little less than a full hour because we had to plate our dishes before time ran out."
The shorter preparation time, much like on Food TV's "Iron Chef" competition program, prevented the chef teams from utilizing some techniques, such as slow smoking.
"I was pleased with all three of our dishes," Barbato said. "Colin's was very unique with three separate dishes, Hunter's dish had a Spanish flavor, while mine explored Southwestern cooking."
For his team's final dish, Barbato created a blueberry/basil sorbet that every judge mentioned as being superb.
"I am familiar with striped bass, so it wasn't as challenging as some of the secret ingredients we encountered in the preliminary rounds," Barbato said. "I would say the most difficult ingredient was pork bellies and shoulders. Every chef wants to create some sort of a dessert for his final dish, because diners expect to finish the meal with something sweet. We created a bacon and bourbon ice cream with peanut brittle that went over really well."
Barbato has been the executive chef at Chetola Resort's Manor House Restaurant for the past five years and has competed in the Fire on the Rock Chefs Challenge since its inception.
During the semifinals of the competition on Saturday at the Hayes Center, Palazzo defeated Chef James Welch of the Green Park Inn, while Barbato defeated Chef Michael Foreman of Bistro Roca.

thanks this site is so usefull i hv pass my theory
Here's a statistic that surprised us, only 46% of test candidates pass their driving theory test on their first attempt. That's a terrible first time pass rate – it means that more than half of people fail the theory test on their first go.
Obviously preparation is a key factor in being able to pass, but we wondered whether there were particular questions that caused learners to fail.
To work this out, we analysed over 2 million driving theory tests from 150,000 test candidates that used Theory Test Pro.
The results highlighted 10 questions that 40% of learner drivers fail to answer correctly.
40% of learner drivers can't answer these questions
- You are involved in a collision. What documents may the police ask you to produce?
- Name three situations where you may overtake another vehicle on the left?
- When can you drive or park in a cycle lane marked by a solid white line?
- How can you identify areas reserved for trams
- You have broken down on a motorway. When you use the emergency telephone what information will you be asked?
- Where would you find reflective amber studs on a motorway?
- You are in a collision with another moving vehicle. Someone is injured and your vehicle is damaged. What four things should you find out?
- If your car has unbalanced wheels, what can this cause?
Find out the answers to these questions by taking our quiz, or download a PDF copy of the Top 10 driving theory questions that trip up most learner drivers.
2 out of 5 learners don't know these road signs
There were also two road sign questions in the top 10. Here's the first one.
And the second trickiest trickiest road sign is this one.
Again, only 40% of learners managed to correctly identify either of these road signs.

Alot of the time the theory test questions can be answered purely on common sense alone, but there is sometimes the odd ambiguous one which is there to test you, so do be on your guard

Fantastic article. I would completely agree that 40% can't answer those questions. Many learner drivers expect to breeze through the theory test, when in fact it takes a great deal of revision and dedication. This same dedication can then be applied to passing their practical driving test.
I feel so stupid iv failed theory test 7 x I have read the books discs and I pass at home but not in test centre I'm currently in college and was given opurtunity life time to become a tutor in Beauty therapy such a great job my dream but then she said I need to drive and what a devastating blow I really want to pass this test soo bad any help or advice I read 565 pgs of the whole book

UNION — The message in Jeremy Moodys head was clear and, according to him, came from the Most High: Kill those people.
The message from his mother, Tammy Moody, was her attempt to keep him stable as he sat behind bars charged with two counts of murder, claiming that the shots he fired were met with Gods approval.
I said, Jeremy, God dont tell you to hurt one another ... to kill one another out of hate, she told The Herald on Thursday.
Her message came too late. Charles Marvin Parker, 59, and Gretchen Dawn Parker, 51, were dead shot and stabbed in their Union County home on a Sunday in July. Police surrounded Tammy Moodys Lockhart home, demanding to see her son and his wife, Christine Moody. Officers took the couple into custody, searched their rooms and confiscated Tammy Moodys pistol.
She would later learn that the gun she and her 73-year-old husband used for protection had been used to kill the Parkers. Her son and daughter-in-law, she said, asked to borrow the gun to go target shooting.
From jail, Jeremy Moody, 31, told his mother: Mama, He (God) told me to do it, Tammy Moody said. He said yes, he killed them people. I want to send condolences to the family that theyve brought grief to. I know that theyre hurting...
On Tuesday, Jeremy Moody a White Power tattoo on his bald head and Skinhead emblazoned on his throat and Christine Moody were sentenced to life in prison after each pleaded guilty to two counts of murder, kidnapping, burglary, criminal conspiracy and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
After listening to grisly details of the crime and observing the couple grin, snicker and glance at each other for two hours, Circuit Court Judge Lee Alford handed down the life sentences, saying he felt they had no remorse and would likely kill again.
After court, the Moodys said they had no regrets.
See you perverts later, Jeremy Moody shouted to the Parkers relatives. Thats what child molesters get.
Killing that pedophile was the best day of my life, Christine Moody, 37, told reporters before adding about the Parkers families, may they die, also.
In July, the Moodys pretended that their car had broken down near the Parkers Union County home. They said they targeted the Parkers because Charles Parker was a registered sex offender, and they killed Gretchen Parker because of her poor judgment in marrying him.
Jeremy Moody confessed to deputies that he shot the Parkers before his wife stabbed them. Had he not been arrested, Moody told investigators, he would have kept killing. Police found the name of Jeremy Moodys next intended victim written on an envelope.
Authorities also found a manifesto of manuscripts Jeremy Moody compiled that coalesced his Aryan ... white supremacist outlook on blacks, Jews and sex offenders, authorities said.
That manifesto was a compilation of research Jeremy Moody had collected over the years, his mother said, as he wrote his own book, Yesterday, Tomorrow and Forever. While he did take excerpts from white supremacist writings, much of his studying and digging focused on child molestation and its frequency in the United States.
Moody himself had never been a victim of sexual abuse, his mother said, but Jeremy knew of molestation and rape that had happened to people in the family. He knew that Christine ... had been raped and molested by (family members) from the age of 2.
Both Christine Moody and her attorney stated as much in court on Tuesday.
Its not a race issue. ..., Tammy Moody said. Jeremy had many black friends. Jeremy is easygoing, soft-spoken; hed do anything to help anybody, it didnt matter what color they were.
Tammy Moody said her son did not start sporting tattoos of swastikas and nooses until he went up north and met the mother of his first daughter, who Tammy Moody says was part of a neo-Nazi gang. Despite prosecutors depictions of Jeremy Moody as a cold-hearted monster, she said, he preached sermons to the youth and elderly and just wants to stay in his Bible.
Before Tuesdays hearing, Moody told his mother he asked God to forgive him.
The goal was to save his life, said 16th Circuit Public Defender Harry Dest, Moodys lawyer. Prosecutors could have sought the death penalty in the case, but opted not to as a result of plea negotiations.
From a defense perspective, our main goal was to try to avoid the death penalty, Dest said. We were in the position we wanted to be in court based on circumstances of the case.
In court, Moody told Judge Alford that if he had been on his medications, he would not have committed murder. Tammy Moody agrees, saying her son, with no job or insurance, could not afford his properly prescribed medications.
When Jeremy was going without his medicine, he would tell me, Mama, Im getting suicidal; Im having homicidal thoughts because I havent had my medicine, she said.
Moody said she told her son not to listen to those voices. Those behaviors stem from her sons years-long struggle with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, she said.
Its not unusual to see this kind of behavior; fortunately its very rare, said Dr. Harold Morgan, the psychiatrist who evaluated Jeremy Moody. He told Jeremy Moody that its uncommon for the mentally ill to act out in this type of way.
Morgan told Alford that if Jeremy Moody were to continue taking his psychotropic drugs, his illness would stabilize and control his behavior.
Severe mental illness coupled with a history of sexual abuse in his family, Dest said, doesnt justify in any way, shape or form what happened but it does help explain how this tragic incident occurred.
Christine Moody also suffers from multiple mental illnesses, her attorney said in court Tuesday, including borderline personality disorder.
Lawyers on Tuesday said Jeremy and Christine Moody first met online in 2009, shortly after Jeremy Moodys best friend killed himself. Tammy Moody called her daughter-in-law a godsend.
Somebody finally put a smile on his face, put a joy in his step, she said.
In court on Tuesday, Tammy Moody said, the couple smiled and stared at each other because they were excited to see each other after being apart for 10 months.
Dont judge a book by its cover until you know the book, she said. Again, Im sorry that he and Christine have destroyed a lot of peoples lives. Dont blame Jeremy and Christine for being mentally ill.

While the Indianapolis Colts knew back in February who they would be playing during the 2012 regular season, there were plenty of questions about the dates, locations and times of those games.
National Football League officials, however, made things a lot clearer Tuesday night when the full schedule was officially released to the public.
Indianapolis will begin the 2012 campaign on the road at Chicago on Sunday, Sept. 9 and will take on Minnesota a week later on Sept. 16 in the home opener. Both games are set to begin at 1 p.m. at Solders Field and Lucas Oil Stadium, respectively.
The Colts will open AFC South play in the third week of the season when Jacksonville comes to Indianapolis on Sept. 23.
"We are looking forward to a very competitive schedule, especially an always tough AFC South slate," first-year Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said Tuesday evening in a prepared statement.
"The first few weeks of offseason workouts have been spirited and we are working extremely hard to meet our offseason goals. This team continues to gel and build chemistry with each passing day and we will continue to labor at a high level."
With a new quarterback, presumably former Stanford standout Andrew Luck, taking over for former four-time league MVP Peyton Manning, the Colts appear to be a favorable early portion of the schedule in terms of home and away games.
Indianapolis will play three of its first four contests, and five of its first eight, at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Colts' third home game, though, will be against Green Bay, which won the Super Bowl after the 2010 season and posted a 15-1 record last year.
Starting out the year against the Bears in Chicago isn't an easy task either. The two teams will meet for the second time in the regular season since Indianapolis won Super Bowl XLI in February of 2007. The Colts are 22-18 against Chicago in the all-time regular season series. Indianapolis won its last road trip to Soldier Field (41-10) in 2004.
• Here are some of the Colts key 2012 games — Road: Sept. 9 at Chicago. First game for Indianapolis' presumed top draft pick (Luck); Nov. 18 at New England. Huge rivalry plays out again. Dec. 16 at Houston. Defending division champs. Home: Sept. 16 vs. Vikings. Home opener with new quarterback; Oct. 7 vs. Packers. Colts defense face big test; Dec. 30 vs. Texans. Best team in division.
• Must-see Colts game in 2012 — Sept 9 at Chicago. First game for new Indy quarterback on the road against a quality defensive unit; Oct. 7 vs. Packers. A possible faceoff of former Pac-10 quarterbacks (Aaron Rogers vs. Andrew Luck); Nov. 18 at Patriots. Despite potential match up of Tom Brady and Luck, New England has too much firepower.
• Colts 2012 schedule strength — Coming off a 2-14 season, which tied St. Louis for the league's worst, Indianapolis has seven games in 2012 against teams that won nine or more games a year ago. Three of the first four games are at home, which could help Indy get off to a good start.
• A look at the 2011 records of next season's opponents — Bears (8-8), Vikings (3-13), Jaguars (5-11), Packers (15-1), Jets (8-8), Browns (4-12), Titans (9-7), Dolphins (6-10), Patriots (13-3), Bills (6-10), Lions (10-6), Texans (10-6), Chiefs (7-9).
• Overall 2011 win-loss percentage of 2012 opponents —.500 (128-128).
• One prime time game — Thursday, Nov. 8 at Jacksonville (8:20 p.m. on NFL Network). The Colts have had four or more prime time games dating back to the 2004 season.

NEOSHO, Mo. —
The Neosho City Council and the Neosho Transportation Development District board may meet before an Oct. 29 court hearing to try to reach a resolution on issues dividing them.
Mayor Richard Davidson said he and TDD board Chairman Jim Cummins have been holding informal talks, but a more formal meeting of the two entities is needed to accomplish anything.
"We're to a point now where both sides, if we're going to reach a resolution, it's going to require a majority of both boards," Davidson said by phone on Monday.
Cummins on Monday said he supports the idea, but it may need to be scaled back, because he isn't sure the members of the TDD board can be assembled before the Oct. 29 court hearing.
"I think at this point we're trying to find a time to sit down and meet," Cummins said by phone. "It's probably going to be more the mayor and myself, and the lead attorneys. I'm in correspondence with the mayor about it."
The city has filed a court petition contending that the TDD wasn't properly created under state law. The city's position is that because the district's boundaries were established to not include any residential property, no resident owners were qualified to vote in the election that formed the district. The result could be the dissolution of the TDD.
Davidson has said the city doesn't desire to dissolve the TDD, but it couldn't ignore the flaw when it was found while other legal issues were being researched.
The TDD, which includes several retail stores, was formed in November 2010. It collects a half-cent sales tax within its boundaries to pay for transportation projects.
The city has proposed a city-controlled Community Improvement District to replace the TDD.
"We believe this is the only way to prevent a taxpayer lawsuit," Davidson said.
Davidson said that after the city floated its idea for a meeting on Friday, the city attorney received communication from the TDD board attorney stating that there's no use in meeting if anything is considered that doesn't include all the projects approved by the TDD property owners.
Davidson said the city cannot ensure that a CID would include all the TDD projects, not because it doesn't want to, but because the city has restrictions as to projects it could pursue with a CID.
"I saw Jim (Cummins) over the weekend at the (Neosho) Fall Festival, and we're hopeful we can get the boards together," Davidson said. "We're trying to make a good-faith effort leading up to the 29th to try to reach some agreement."
Cummins said he isn't sure everyone understands the responsibility of the TDD board.
"The TDD board cannot make decisions about what projects are or aren't in the agreement," he said. "The projects are voted on by the landowners. The TDD board is an administrative body. The landowners have to say, 'We're willing to change the projects.' If they want to redo the projects, that's going back to the landowners for a vote."
Cummins said he's unsure if a resolution can be found, but a meeting, in whatever form, couldn't hurt.
"Time is of the essence," he said. "We pretty much understand what the key issues are. We can sit down and work through those and see what we can come up with. I think it will help our communication, regardless."
Judge's ruling
ASSOCIATE CIRCUIT JUDGE KEVIN SELBY previously ruled that the July 16 election for a TDD board member must be redone, without the participation of the board that governs the Missouri Department of Transportation.
