LG Goes With Nvidia Chip in New Smartphones
LG Electronics on Thursday confirmed that it would be using a dual-core processor manufacturered by Nvidia for its line of Optimus smartphones later this year. That's a coup for Nvidia, which has been pushing to enter the smartphone market with its Tegra chip and expand beyond its traditional business of providing graphics chips for PCs.
So far, the most notable phone to use Tegra was Microsoft's failed Kin youth-centric device. But LG committing to Nvidia gives the graphics-chip maker something to potentially boast about. Much of the awareness of the faster generation of 1-gigahertz processors for smartphones have focused on Qualcomm Inc.'s Snapdragon processor, found in HTC's Incredible and Evo, or Samsung Electronics's Hummingbird chip, found in its own line of Galaxy S phones.
Nvidia, however, isn't the only company packing a dual-core chip. Qualcomm has also talked about a dual-core Snapdragon chip.
Nvidia wasn't immediately available for comment. The company has previously said it expects to have several smartphones, as well as hybrid netbook-smartphones called smartbooks, using its Tegra chip by the end of the year.

The Salem News
---- — As you know, we're almost at the end of the election cycle of 2012. It affects us on county, state and national levels, so let's have one last hard look.
President Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney: Mitt Romney wants to take the reins of the assets of the United States and says he "believes in America" and wants to create jobs for Americans. He says he's the one who should be trusted to control the United States Treasury and majorly influence the country's financial markets.
However, Romney keeps the majority of his assets outside the United States' borders, in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. I don't see where this shows much faith in the United States. This is a harbinger of what Romney and his supporters would do if they gain control of the country. He's one of the major trendsetters in creating jobs offshore and eliminating defined pension plans in the private sector. When Barack Obama took office in January 2009, the economy was a downhill, full-throttle, out-of-control runaway train. Under these desperate conditions, he did his level best with an impending economic disaster and avoided calamity. He ended the war in Iraq, made sure bin Laden wasn't wasting any more of our oxygen, started winding down Afghanistan and, though being hamstrung by an obstructionist, right-wing Congress, he has helped to create several million jobs.
Sen. Scott Brown vs. Elizabeth Warren: Based upon the facts of Scott Brown's voting record, I can't believe that this race is so close. When it comes to actually helping the country, as opposed to helping the top 2 or 3 percent, Brown is invisible. Regarding the financial markets, women's rights, jobs creation and protecting the environment, his overall voting record is obeisance to the elite, which means the Republican ticket, although he claims to be independent. His average for voting Republican is 85 percent. That isn't "bipartisan" by the wildest stretch of the imagination.
Elizabeth Warren is among the foremost financial experts in the Western world. She was called on by both parties during the financial crisis. Her major public service contribution is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; perhaps that is why the right wing fears her influence coming to the Senate. She stands for fair play for the majority, and a level playing field for all.
United States Rep. John Tierney vs. Richard Tisei: Richard Tisei would be scary if he were in power. If you like Paul Ryan and Todd Akin, you'll love Tisei. Women's rights; the environment; competent oversight of the markets; and the efficient administration of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid really aren't important to Tisei. He's had commercials financed by Karl Rove's Crossroads organization. Rove, if you recall, was George W. Bush's "brain trust."
Tisei's other big financial endorsers are the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, primarily financed by the Koch brothers, who are one of the biggest, if not the biggest, polluters of fresh water in the United States. Here in the 6th District, U.S. House Speaker John Boehner appeared for Tisei. All this for a candidate who has never held federal office before.
Just an observation: You should be known by the company you keep. As far as concerns about our present representative from the sixth district, John Tierney of Salem, the worst that can be said of him is that he's not his brother-in-law's keeper. As far as Tierney's voting record goes, you can always count on him to protect Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, education, the environment and the fair-play values that we treasure here on the North Shore.
Your vote is very valuable. Please, don't forget to use it!

Gun control is one of those culture-wars issues on which liberals and conservatives often don't even seem to be speaking the same language, let alone coming to consensus. Gun owners -- especially the hard-core enthusiasts who belong to the National Rifle Assn. -- are often thought to oppose any restriction on their 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. Except that, according to a recent poll, they don't.
The gun-control debate is replete with suspect polls and fishy statistical analyses, so when Mayors Against Illegal Guns set out to survey gun owners, it knew it would be accused of putting a liberal slant on the questions. That's why the group, a coalition of 500 mayors started in 2006 by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, hired a conservative pollster to do the job: Frank Luntz, an occasional commentator on the Fox News Channel. Luntz surveyed 401 NRA members and 431 gun owners who don't belong to the group, and came up with some surprising results.

Welcome to Project Life 2012 | Week 18 and the May Technique Tuesday Studio AE Blog Hop.
I'm combining the two today in order to (1) catch up and (2) because they go really nicely together and (3) the 10th is the day we do the Blog Hop each month.
First up I want to share the a wesome news for those of you who are subscribers or who have been thinking about subscribing to Studio AE. Technique Tuesday has changed their shipping method and it's resulting in some savings for you. Learn more about the changes here.
The May Studio AE stamp set is called Simple Joy:
WANT THE DIGITAL VERSION? You can grab the digital version of this stamp set here: Everyday Sentiment Strips.
I thought these stamps would make great strips added to my photos in Project Life. I decided to stamp them on Cream Puff cardstock (that I pulled from my box of scraps) using Colorbox Chalk Cat's Eye Inks.
And then I drew black boxes around each one and cut them out:
Here's a look at Week Eighteen:
The left side:
Insert number one (which came from this post about Simon's first time at gymnastics):
I used my 6×12 Layered Template Set to add the photo and words in Photoshop.
I turned the canvas into a 12×12 and printed it here at home using a Epson R2000 and 13×19 photo paper:
If you'd like to learn more about working with these 6×12 layered templates I've got a free video tutorial for that here.
I added one of the sentiment strips on top of the printed words and photo.
And as you can see below I added another photo below the text on the back side and another stamped sentiment strip.
Insert number two includes my Dad's margarita recipe sent via email and some of Anna's drawings on the front:
The back includes words from my Baking And Bread And Blooms post:
On the right side:
The big #3 is from Pink Paislee London Market Jumbo Numbers and the cute little red strip below is from Basic Grey What's Up Die Cuts & Transparencies (love this set).
I used the Silhouette to cut one of the Circles of Life digital files. I've got a tutorial for how to work with the PNG files in the Silhouette software available here.
I'm also using this stamp set in my Week In The Life album. Here's a peek at that (using Staz-On to stamp on the photo paper):
Click on the images to link to the products.
There's lots of cool stuff to check out for this month's Studio AE blog hop – take a look:
In addition, Technique Tuesday is giving away a $20 gift certificate to someone who comments on any of the blogs during the hop. The winner will be announced on the TT blog on May 13th.
Project Life is a product and a system created by Becky Higgins. It can be anything you want it to be. The pieces used in my album are available here.

Harry James Potter is the title character and the main protagonist of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter fantasy series. The books cover seven years in the life of the lonely orphan who, on his eleventh birthday, learns he is a wizard. He attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn magic. Under the guidance of the kindly headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Harry discovers that he is already famous throughout the wizarding world, and that his fate is tied with that of Lord Voldemort, the universally feared Dark wizard who killed Harry's father and mother.

What is Mycobacterium avium complex disease?
Mycobacterium avium [MY-co-bak-TEER-ee-um A-vee-um] complex, also known as "MAC," is the name of a group of bacteria. These bacteria can infect people who are living with HIV. Adults with HIV usually don't get MAC disease until their CD4 count drops below 50. Because MAC disease occurs later in the course of HIV infection, it usually is not the first sickness a person with HIV gets. Most people with HIV have already been diagnosed with AIDS before they get MAC. About 20 to 30 percent of people with AIDS get MAC disease.
What are the symptoms of MAC disease?
Although MAC usually infects persons through their lungs or intestines, it spreads quickly through the bloodstream, causing widespread or "disseminated" disease. People with disseminated MAC disease can have:
- fever
- night sweats
- weight loss
- abdominal pain
- tiredness
- diarrhea
How is MAC disease diagnosed?
MAC disease is diagnosed by laboratory tests that can identify the MAC bacteria in samples of blood, bone marrow, or tissue.
How do people get MAC disease?
People with HIV/AIDS probably get MAC disease through normal contact with air, food, and water. MAC disease has been found in many types of animals, including birds, chickens, pigs, cows, rabbits, and dogs. MAC bacteria can be found in most sources of drinking water, including treated water systems, and in dirt and household dust. MAC disease does not seem to be spread from one person to another.
How can I avoid MAC disease?
Because MAC bacteria are found in food, water, and soil, there is no easy way to avoid them. However, there are drugs that can prevent MAC germs from causing disease. Because MAC disease occurs in people with very low CD4 counts, you should not get treatment to prevent MAC disease until your CD4 count is below 50. Your doctor will tell you when you need to begin treatment for preventing MAC disease. Drugs which can reduce your chances of getting MAC disease include:
- clarithromycin [kla-REE-thro-MY-sin]
- azithromycin [a-ZEE-thro-MY-sin]
- rifabutin [rif-a-BU-tin]
If I have already had MAC disease, can I get it again?
Yes. If you have had MAC disease, continue to take drugs to treat and prevent further MAC disease. MAC disease is most commonly treated with a combination of clarithromycin and ethambutol [eth-AM-bu-tol], with or without rifabutin.

MARLOW — An ex-military man has been arrested on charges of rape of a child and forcible sodomy.
Charles Alan Dyer, 29, of Marlow, was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Stephens County Sheriff's deputies, said Sheriff Wayne McKinney. Dyer served in the United States Marines in Iraq.
McKinney said charges included first degree rape and two counts of forcible sodomy. It is expected the charges will be formally presented in Stephens County District Court today, McKinney said.
"These are what we are asking for through the District Attorney's office," McKinney said.
The investigation began after the last alleged incident that was said to have taken place Jan. 2, at Dyer's residence on Hope Road near Marlow.
McKinney said the Mary Abbot House in Norman has experts that specialize in interviewing children who are victims of rape. They Abbot House handled the interviews of the victim.
"We feel there's enough to charge him," McKinney said.

excerpts from It never stops
by Charlie Ehlen – 13 April 2012
Unfortunately, we seem destined to continue to have more wars, not less. That might be a sign that as a species, we humans have not evolved much in our somewhat brief, in geological time at least, short history on this planet.
And yet, it still seems to me at least, that we should have evolved much further than it appears we have. By now, I think that the human race should have come at the very least to getting closer to have outgrown our "need" for war.
What with all the supposed teachings of various religions, one would hope that we no longer went to war for petty grievances and maybe even renounced war totally. No such luck. Does this mean that the religious teachings have not "taken" hold of the human conscience?
I do have faith, faith in the capacity of our fellow human beings to be very kind and caring to others, even those we do not know personally and are not related to by either blood or marriage.
Of course I also have faith that our fellow human beings have the capacity to do great harm to other human beings and all non animal species as well.
I'm with you on questioning human evolution, Charlie. As chance would have it a couple of references to Kurt Vonnegut here and there got me interested in looking up some of his work again … Slaughterhouse 5, Mother Night, and Galapagos.
Galapagos has humans evolving into seals … to their and the world's great benefit. I recommend it … giving away the story in no way detracts from it. It's a variation on Vonnegut's life-long theme, but it's a polished pebble in this rendition, and it's setting is more nearly our own than was the world of 1986.
As your final quote from Tom Paine points out … there's no going back. At least not voluntarily. We're going to have to master these Big Brains of ours and stop letting the tiny kernels within master us.
I personally think that too much attention is paid to the Big Brain and not enough to small brain within. We talk about reason and rationality all the time … but we only use our reason to make money.
Deep in our small brains is the doomsday defense-mechanism … the ability all humans have of non-recognition of others. The ability to declare ourselves "the people" and the others … something else. Something able to be dispatched, as we dispatch the chickens, pigs, calves … the others we kill and eat without a second thought everyday.
Civil religions by their very definition are … civil … on the side of the "legal" authorities … that would be the 1% in today's jargon. If religion or any introspection is to help us with our Big Brains rule our small brains within, it's gonna hafta be on the level of our individual selves. Always has been. Always will be.
Why do we tend to ask questions when we already know the answers?
I think we do so to keep from asking more serious questions.
Americans take a great number of medications to relieve mental pain/emotional distress.
America tends, according to various reports (sorry no links) to over medicate. The USA has the highest number of prescriptions for various "psychic" medications in the world. While these do actually help a great many people function, I wonder about the long term use of these powerful chemicals on us.
Another question that NEEDS a real answer, what is going to happen to all the children who during their school years have been on chemicals like Ritalin(tm)? When they finally graduate (fewer do now than before) from high school, they no longer get these meds. What does the withdrawal do to these children?
While I do not have any children, I am very concerned about what we are doing to our children. They ARE the future. What sort of future are we giving them? By that, I am not asking about the future occupation or economics wise
I think you've hit it right here, Charlie. We don't ask serious questions becasue we don't want to know the answers. We don't want to know any Afghans … any of our victims … because that would in very short shrift put the lie to our story … that they were Islamofascist Whatever … and can be killed … women and children and all in the most brutal possible manner … not only with impunity but as a service to humanity … that'd be us.
I'd focus not so much on the physical, chemical drugs we all take, the ones we give our kids in school, but the spiritual drugs we use in our endless self-medication. And give our kids in school. American Exceptionalism. Our Faith in Corporatism. And so on…
Back to the wars. Useless, damn fool wars of choice. Again. And again, and again, ad infinitum. "We" preach tolerance and "good will to all" and yet …
Poor Syria, the country is in the midst of what looks to be a civil war. Yes, it is not all just Syrians fighting other Syrians. There ARE many outside forces at work there. Not just jihadis from the Iraq, Afghan, Libyan wars either. Reports have stated that there are various "special ops" types from Britain and France there along with the al-Qaeda types.
On to Iran. Trying to keep from boring the reader.
I saw another article today that said the the zionist entity is making demands on the talks between the 5+1 and Iran. The 5+1 being the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany as they attempt, I hope they DO, discuss with Iran, the nuclear program that Iran is running.
Iran has the LEGAL right to possess nuclear power for generating electricity and to make medical isotopes, in short of non-military/commercial use. ALL countries in the whole world have that RIGHT … Yes, I know about the holocaust and World War Two and all that. Iran has not attacked another country in more than 100 years. During the Iran/Iraq war in the 1980′s Iraq invaded Iran and Iran naturally fought back.
Now the US and the zionist entity want to punish Iran for doing what they have a legal right to do. Can you say double standards? Of course you can, but, will you? Yep, there is the question to ask yourself. So far our(?) congress looks to be all set for yet another damn fool, useless war of choice by making threats to Iran to stop what they have every legal right to do.
I just came upon three good articles addressing these points: Faux internationalism and really existing imperialism, US-Israeli deal to demand Qom closure threatens nuclear talks, and Leave Us Out of Another Middle East War.
The first came via the Monthly Review, which often has incisive analytical articles. The second is by Gareth Porter, and the third by ex-Senator James G. Abourezk of South Dakota.
I think they are all worth reading. I was especially struck by the first.
"Ignorance is of a peculiar nature: and once dispelled, it is impossible to re-establish it. It is not originally a thing of itself, but is only the absence of knowledge; and though man may be kept ignorant, he cannot be made ignorant."
That does seem true and hopeful. But still it is possible for people to hide what they know from themselves, to allow their Big Brains to discard as "externalities" the most horrid consequences of their get-rich-quick schemes. And no one can break through the defenses of a pathological personality … it has to be an inside job.

From the mailbag : How can I find craft shows in specific geographic locations?
Answer:I can totally understand the need to know the schedule of available arts and crafts shows within driving distance. Many artists and crafters enjoy and find it profitable to exhibit at shows, but would prefer to do it locally. There is sound rational in that decision if you are a new artist or crafter or are just doing it part-time.
Also, sometimes it's more economical to hire trusted reps to attend craft shows outside your local driving area. Dividing the U.S. into geographic regions and hiring a rep for each area is one way to gauge the profitability of certain shows without attending them. Of course, there is always the issue that a rep can't sell your arts and crafts as well as you can, but that's a topic for another discussion.
Here are my suggestions for finding arts and crafts shows in a specific geographic location:
Trade Publications
Organizers of shows soliciting your type of arts or crafts will advertise in trade publications geared to your industry. The shows more than likely won't be listed geographically but it's quick work to scan the listings or call for entries finding those within a reasonable distance from your business location. Don't forget - trade publications aren't only available in print, but online as well.
Just checking out a couple of print magazine lying on my desk, ArtCalendar has pages of listing for shows with and without fees. The Crafts Report also has a few pages of listings spread throughout the magazine.
Online Resources
Festival Network Online: This website lists crafts show by U.S. state or Canadian province and you can further sort by month. They offer a free Basic membership and other memberships with various advanced options from $49 to $89 per year.
Sunshine Artists:Another informative website, Sunshine Artists provides a comprehensive list of arts and crafts shows in the U.S. and Canada. You are able to search by category of art or craft, date and U.S. state or Canadian region (or all three if you really want to tailor your search). While you can search for free, subscribing to Sunshine Artist gives you the additional benefit of finding out more detailed info ranging from show fees to application deadlines. Yearly cost for a subscription is $34.95.
Crafts Report: While the Crafts Report has listings in print, they have a killer online search option too. It's updated weekly. You can search by numerous criteria such as show name, date, location, promoter and type of craft sold. Check out the Craft Report website for more information.
Art and Craft Show Yellow Pages: This website allows you to organize craft shows by state but without a subscription that about all you can do - which actually in many cases will give you enough information to find the details yourself with more online research. Subscriptions to Art and Craft Show Yellow Pages start at $40.00 per year. They list events up to a year in advance, helping you plan your craft show circuit and meet any early-bird requirements.

Don't be alarmed if downtown looks like Gaffney, SC this week.
That's because it will be—at least, in TV land.
Picturesque Washington Street and the former City Hall building—now known as the "opera house"—in downtown Havre de Grace will be used as the backdrop for scenes in the upcoming Netflix series "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey.
The show is set in Gaffney, SC.
Crews have been in and out of Havre de Grace over recent weeks. Portions of the opera house building have been renovated, and a sign identifying Washington Street as "Gaffney, SC" will be installed.
Filming will also be held at the Hopkins farm on MD Route 155 near Level.
The filming will begin early Tuesday morning and continue Wednesday morning.

RALEIGH — State public health officials confirmed another new flu-related death and Duke University Health Systems announced Monday that it was temporarily restricting the number of patients' visitors because of the high volume of flu cases in the Triangle.
So far, the flu appears to be hitting hard and early, with younger adults more at risk than in a typical season.
The latest fatality bought the the official total to eight so far for the winter flu season. Even more deaths occurred last week and will soon be added to the toll, said Zack Moore, a medical epidemiologist with the N.C. Department of Public Health.
The flu season is off to an early start, but even so the number of fatalities is unusual.
"To have this many deaths with flu activity being as low as it is, that's troubling because we haven't hit the peak yet," Moore said.
Information about additional deaths will be released Friday in the state's normal weekly update of flu statistics, he said. He declined to say how many there had been.
Most victims so far are young adults who are particularly vulnerable to H1N1, the dominant strain of the virus so far this season. Four of the eight confirmed cases, including the most recent one, in Eastern North Carolina, were among adults aged 25 to 49, Moore said. Three were from 50 to 64 years old, and one was 65 or older.
In each of the eight cases, Moore said, the victim had some health issue that put the patient at high risk from flu. Such risk factors include heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illnesses such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immune system problems, obesity and pregnancy.
What you can do
As always, public health officials are urging people to get vaccinated, because that's by far the best way to avoid contracting flu and spreading it. The vaccine is effective against H1N1 and other flu strains. Moore said it was not too late to get vaccinated.
But he also said that the state was also putting particular emphasis this year on having a doctor treat flu if it does develop. The vaccine can't help then, but doctors can prescribe antiviral drugs that can reduce the severity of the illness.
That's particularly important if a patient is among those at high risk of severe complications from a case of flu, Moore said
"Getting that early treatment can be the difference between a fairly mild case and a pretty serious illness, or even the difference between life and death," he said.
Hospital changes rules
As of Monday, Duke began limiting visitors to hospital and ambulatory surgery patients to immediate family or designated caregivers age 18 and older, except in unusual cases and with prior approval. Those visitors must also have no fever, cough or other flu-like symptoms. Only two adult visitors are allowed at a time.
Dr. Cameron Ward, an infectious disease specialist and assistant professor of medicine at Duke, said it was a hard decision because holiday visits are so popular but added that Duke officials felt it was important, since patients are among the most vulnerable to flu.
Duke was seeing the same pattern of young adults falling ill, rather than the children and elderly patients who are typically the worst hit in years when other strains dominate the infections.
The types of victims this season, he said, are similar to those in 2009, another year in which the H1N1 variant struck.
"The thing about this is, most of those who are critically ill are in their 30s, 40s and 50s, and if you're in that range, you probably don't normally think of yourself as high risk," Wolfe said. "Vaccination rates can be poor, and you might be less likely to go to the doctor to be treated if you think you have flu."
Officials at Rex and WakeMed hospitals in Raleigh and UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill said they were monitoring the situation but so far weren't planning their own restrictions on visitors.

Would've been a terrible april fools.
Because I really like the looks of it
Ysera is green, and her skin glitters with countless emeralds for scales. Her physical form is ghostly, ethereal, like watching a living dream or vision. The Emerald Dream is a place where all living beings dream when sleeping. It is a place of where sentient beings have dreams of hope, and faith for a better tomorrow. Her eyes are always closed, although you can see her pupils move constantly below her eyelids as if watching many dreams at once.
I consider the D3 playstation gag to be far more of a joke than hearthstone, give D3 players alot of what they have been screaming for with the punch line "lul but its on PS4"
I am very looking forward to hearthstone, a light hearted f2p card game I can play to relax.
No it's not.
I do enjoy their April Fools though.
To be fair to the op, someone HAS to say its a joke, for every time Blizzard unveils something that isnt a raid some people think it cant be true.
In the same vein, there will be people who will be mad that they didn´t take the time and resources used for this to make new [insert WoW content you prefer] for the game. Also, the doomsday prophets are always around to certify this announcement as the begining of the end.
Nothing new in forum life really.
Game looks pretty good. Much better than MTGO. Going after the CCG market is a smart move by Blizzard. They got into it a bit with WOW TCG, but they had a partner and it never gained the popularity that MTG has. Give than MTG is on their 20th anniversary, it's proven that it's here to stay for the long run. By releasing a computer version of a CCG (kinda like a mix between DotP and MTGO), they are going into a new market that relies on their expertise of release software products using an IP that everyone loves (Warcraft).

The Locust Grove Pirates look to bounce back at Lincoln Christian tomorrow, after three straight losses.
The Pirates' record dropped to 4-4 last week after losing at home to Dewey 50-32, in an offensive showdown.
Pirate junior receiver Aaron Conway attributes the loss to self-inflicted team play.
"I feel we let the game slip out of our hands," Conway said. "We shot ourselves in the foot by turning the ball over."
But the Pirates are trying to put last week's loss, as well as the two previous two, behind them.
Junior running back Cameron McIntyre is looking ahead.
"We're just going to keep playing hard, getting better keep playing as a team, put last week behind us and prepare for this week's game," McIntyre said.
Locust Grove will face a 5-3 Lincoln Christian squad that is coming off a blowout win against Westville.
The Bulldogs are averaging more than 210 passing yards per game and 162 rushing yards.
Senior quarterback Austin Graver leads the Lincoln Christian offense with 1,694 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and only three interceptions.
The Pirates are aware it will take more than talent to beat the Bulldogs.
"Our intensity, our heart and our desire to win this game," Conway said, will be the key to pulling off an upset.
On paper, the Pirates appear outmatched. However, morale is high.
"We always go into a game well prepared and expecting to win," said junior defensive back Traden Sokoloski.
In the wake of three consecutive losses, maintaining such an attitude might be difficult, but Sokoloski said a motivating coaching staff helps the team keep a positive attitude.
Locust Grove will try to put their record back above .500 at Lincoln Christian, Oct. 26, at 7:30 p.m.

Police investigators determined that reckless driving and excessive speed were the primary causes of the crash on Jan. 28 that , co-founder of the Anne Arundel County Breaking News and Events Facebook Page.
McDevitt was killed in a two-car crash on Fort Smallwood Road near Devere Drive after police said he , crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a BMW carrying two teenagers. Police said McDevitt was thrown from his car and pronounced dead at the scene. The occupants of the other vehicle suffered minor injuries.
Evidence at the scene suggested that alcohol was involved in addition to excessive speed, according to police.
In an email to Patch, Anne Arundel County Police Department spokesman Justin Mulcahy said investigators were still looking into the possibility of alcohol and that toxicology results were pending.

COMMENTARY | A decade ago, we were in a state of mass hysteria over SARS. Three years ago, we panicked about swine flu. Today, we obsess about headlines related to mad cow disease and isolated outbreaks of measles. Yet, amid these panics, only one epidemic has actually broken out and claimed millions of innocent lives: obesity. This deadly disease is predicted to affect 42 percent of us by 2030, and yet we've become so accustomed to it that we're unafraid and nonchalant about these predictions.
Obesity is an inarguably lethal condition. It leads to a severe decline in quality of life, as well as serious physical problems, including cancer, liver failure, depression, diabetes, heart disease, and infertility. Although there are obese people who show few of the serious symptoms of the condition -- just as there are smokers who never develop problems -- complications of obesity are the norm, not the exception. And we should be very, very concerned.
After examining a number of interrelated factors through a scientific lens, scientists determined that obesity rates will continue to skyrocket over the course of the next eighteen years, with nearly half of adults suffering from obesity by 2030. The results of this broad-scale study were released today. This could result in an extreme decrease in life expectancy -- meaning our grandchildren will live shorter lives than we will -- and $550 million in medical costs. While it's not uncommon for people to dismiss these statistics as "fat panic," I personally think that we have reason to panic -- to the same degree that we would have reason to panic if any other lethal condition threatened to affect 42 percent of our population.
The answer to this looming pandemic is not to bury our heads in the sand and act like obesity isn't a problem. Absolutely all credible scientific evidence demonstrates that it is. But the answer also isn't to persecute or discriminate against people who are coping with obesity and its consequences. No one chooses to be obese, just as no one chooses to be anorexic; no one chooses to get cancer, and no one chooses to develop addictions. Stigma against obese people, well-documented by groups like the NAAFA, is unfair -- and it is a serious human rights violation that needs to stop.
However, there is very real danger in not reacting -- or "panicking," as some people characterize it -- to the ever-rising rates of obesity. If rates of cancer, HIV, or lung disease were increasing at these rates, there would be no question that consumers, companies, and government authorities would need to work together to halt the diseases' spread. We collectively owe it to ourselves to make efforts that will stop, or at least slow, current increases in obesity. Life is too precious to dismiss a confirmed pandemic without making efforts to stop or slow its progression.

WSCC Media Relations
Ears, atoms and more were all discussed as potential teaching tools that could be built by the graphic designers of the Advanced Visualization Center (AVC) at Wallace State Community College for area middle school teachers.
About a dozen middle school teachers from around Alabama attended a 3D Immersive Learning workshop at the college where they learned about resources available to them through the AVC to teach subjects ranging from math and science to foreign languages. After three days, the teachers left with new ideas for teaching their particular subjects and knowledge of new resources they can use to create more interactive lessons for their students.
Like most of the other teachers in attendance Hanceville Middle School science teacher Miriam Adams wasn't aware of the relatively new Advanced Visualization Center at Wallace State, or how educators can benefit from its services.
"You don't always know what's across the street and there's a lot across the street," said Adams, an eighth-grade teacher at HMS.
"I didn't know they had an AVC department that could actually construct stuff for us," added Nick Feldner, an eighth grade science teacher at Fairview Middle School.
But the teachers were quick to realize how beneficial it can be in creating an exciting learning experience for their students.
"They're going to love it," Amy Whaley, a seventh-grade science teacher at Hanceville Middle School, said of her students. "They're going to understand it even more than I do because that's their world. They're going to love it in the classroom, that's for sure, because it's similar to things they do outside of school — video games, graphics in video games and 3D movies – the things they do for entertainment outside of school. It will make school seem more like entertainment."
Whaley can see how the 3D objects created by the AVC will help her teach her students about the human body, DNA and other concepts she teaches in physical science.
"All the concepts that I teach I think can be enhanced by the kids seeing 3D images versus the traditional pictures in the book," she said.
The workshop introduced the teachers to 3D objects the AVC has already created that can be used in their classrooms, such as the human heart and the reproductive system. It also gave them the opportunity to request objects they can use for their students.
Whaley said one thing they requested was a 3D model of the human ear to show their students how sound waves travel to the ear. Feldner also requested a 3D version of an atom.
"It will be a big advantage to take this back to our classrooms," Feldner said.
Amy Bates, the technology integration specialist for Cullman City Schools, said she can see how the AVC can benefit teachers in all subjects, not just science.
"We have a teacher who is a science/Spanish teacher, and they're working on a simulation for her Spanish class which sounds incredible," Bates said. In the virtual exercise they have planned, the student will land at a foreign airport and will have to follow instructions provided over the airport's public address system to continue on their trip.
"You can't do that kind of immersive learning with students," Bates said. "You can't send them to Mexico or Spain and say, 'OK, get to work.' But this will allow us to do that (virtually), and I think the kids will really enjoy it because it's a gaming environment and something they're really used to. That's very exciting."
Christine Wiggins of the AVC, said the workshop was a way to let educators know of its existence and to start relationships with schools across the state in order to share its services.
"The AVC is fairly new, so we're still getting the word out about what the AVC is comprised of, what we can offer to industry, educators, and students," Wiggins said. "There's so much we can offer and this is just a first step for us in creating that relationship and reaching out."
As the AVC is utilized, they will develop an archive or bank of the objects they create, which can be used by other educators. Those objects can also be modified to target certain age ranges, with the teaching tools made more or less complex depending on the grade level.
Wiggins said the AVC can be used not only as a service to build 3D objects for teachers, but as a location for classes or training sessions for educators and businesses and industries.
"If they ever just want to bring the kids over and conduct one of their every day classes here," Wiggins said that is something that is available. There are at least two classrooms at the AVC with 3D viewing capabilities and theater-style seating.
"I think the center can be a hub for industry training, industry meetings and out-of-the-box educational experiences for students in many age ranges," Wiggins added.
Examples of the 3D teaching tools created so far by AVC can be seen at http://elearning.wallacestate.edu/3d-interactive-learning-activities. It may require a simple download to run the video for the 3D animations.

32 ounce growler from tpd975, thanks again for our first trade Greg, poured into an oversized wine glass side by side with the vanilla and espresso version, shared with Ben, Bob, and Danny last night, color is a medium brown with some red in the light, 3/4 inch soapy light tan head, good retention, no lace, aroma consists of
very light chocolate, roasted malts, mild toffee, some nuts, and earthiness, starts off with caramel, some more malt in the middle but mostly toffee now, pretty roasted too, only a slight amount of cocoa in the finish, reminds me of the powder from a hot chocolate packet, nto too flavorful overall but a solid brown ale, just seemed a bit boring, roasted and nutty mouthfeel, medium bodied, moderate carbonation, taste does not linger much but it is smooth, could have drank this growler myself as it is light in alcohol and you cannot taste any either, not heavy or anything, decent drinkability, taste would just get tiresome pretty quickly, my least favorite of the three Maduro beers I was sent, just not much to it, still not a bad beer but not one I would seek out again in the future, still worth trying

nice medium brown color and a smooth even head of tan that came up from the bottom and coated the glass rather nicely i have to say. aroma is light chocolate with hint of nice roasted malts and a touch of coffee, well rounded for sure and definetely a nice way to end an evening. a mix if light carbonation with a smooth, velvet like texture to it led me to sip it down quite nicely and left a really nice overall impression

16 oz flip top, filled at the brewery, into red wine glass. Big thanks to Greg (tpd795) for the effort in getting this out to me!
Pours clear dark brown, maybe just a bit of haze, with a thin, soapy off-white layer on top. decent stickage, some spotty lacing.
Nose is lightly nutty, earthy, notes of roasty light coffee and dry cocoa come through. A nice citric, earthy hop bite puts its stamp on this one as an American Brown.
Taste starts off earthy, dry, smattering of coffee grounds with a light cocoa note towards the finish that carries the earthiness of the actual bean with it. A very light roastiness that's almost more of a dark toast carries throughout, maybe just a bit of molasses. A light bitterness, earthy (again) and with just a bit of a citric bite lingers on the palate. Cold, this was a bit of a mess, but once this one warmed a bit (45 degrees +), it turned into a very nice beer. Probably a 4.2-4.3 for me in taste - just short of hitting 4.5, and very flavorful for the abv.
Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, soft but crisp, medium bodied, maybe a tad watery around the edges but not much.
Nicely drinkable. Full flavored and very balanced. This one grew on me as I drank it - as the review indicates, very earthy, but the complexity really emerged as it warmed.

Nice cute little half growler.
Pours translucent, brown and red, and a surprising head on it especially considering that this was poured two weeks ago.
Smells like an exceptionally smooth and chocolatey brown ale.
Tastes good. Not picking up the big burst of rough chocolate I was expecting--the cacao nodes are much more smooth and subdued. Brown ale biscuits and earthiness back up the chocolate.
Nice vanilla nodes, very smooth, but aside from that it's a regular brown ale.

Growler poured into my CCB pint glass.
A: Very much like the other Maduros, caramely brown. The pour produces about one finger of kahki color head that receeds rather quickly and leaves some nice lace.
A: Again, very similer to regualr Maduro, but with a bigger chocolate scent. Roasty malts and chocolate shine!
T: Very refreshing, the cocao in this brew is impressive. You get an earthiness that you would expect from a brown, but the chocolate, uummm!
M: Light to medium body, nice amount of carbonation. Just right.
D and overall impression: Again, like the other Maduro's, this one could be consumed all night. I like the Espresso treatment better, but this one is right up my ally. What else can be said about CCB, these guys are off the charts! Skal.
Serving type: growler

On tap at the BA Bolita release party.
A: Pours a nice nutty shade of brown with a nice tan head. Good retention with a smattering of lace.
S: The wonderful aroma of regular maduro with a nice blast of chocolate.
T: Very tasty treat. Caramel and toffee up front. Lots of nice roasty malt in the middle. All maduro's have a nice chocolate component to them, but the cocoa nibs ramped it up several times in this one.
M: Medium in body, smooth and silky.
D: Good not my favorite of the Maduro treatments (Espresso is and always will be) but very tasty. Keep doing treatments guys, I love the little twist that each give to this already great beer.

TRAVERSE CITY — The third period's the charm for Michigan. The Warriors — outplayed for the first two period and outshot 21-8 in the process — kicked it up a notch in the third period and Traverse City didn't respond. That extra notch by Michigan gave it a 3-1 victory and a 1-0 lead in the North Division semifinal series that continues tonight at Centre ICE.

Special to The Leader
Hutcherson Hill, Principal of West Orange – Stark High School, has announced his resignation, effective Nov. 29.
Hill is resigning to take a position within the San Antonio Independent School District's Human Resources Office.
He has served as principal of WO-S High School since August 2010.
"We are happy to see that Mr. Hill has the opportunity to advance his career. It is flattering that a large school district like San Antonio is able to see the potential and value in our employees. We appreciate all that Mr. Hill has done for the High School and his students; he will be greatly missed," Superintendent James Colbert said.
As West Orange – Stark High School's principal, Hill led the project to earn an Academy of Engineering, or more specifically a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Academy designation for the High School. The designation was awarded by the National Academy Foundation to West Orange - Stark High School this summer.
Upon Hill's departure, West Orange – Stark Academic Alternative Center Site Coordinator Rod Anderson will serve as WO-S High School Interim Principal.
"I feel confident in Mr. Anderson's leadership abilities. I feel strongly that he will assist in continuing the academic success of our High School. He has experience with the High School campus and staff. He embraces the leadership style that we have come to expect from all our leaders within West Orange – Cove CISD," Colbert said.
Ronald Wright, West Orange – Stark High School Academic Coordinator, will serve as Interim Site Coordinator at the Academic Alternative School. Wright previously served as lead teacher at the facility.
Anderson and Wright will both serve in their interim roles until the end of the 2013-2014 school year.

The Sam Davis #647 Chapter, Children of the Confederacy, commemorated Confederate History Month by placing a wreath at the Bethel Confederate Cemetery in Knoxville.
The cemetery, located on Bethel Avenue and down the road from the Mabry-Hazen House contains more than 1,600 Confederate dead, including 300 soldiers who were killed in the battle of Fort Sanders. Although the names of many of those killed are known, all are buried in unmarked graves. In addition, around 50 Union soldiers who died in hospital and 20 Confederate Veterans are interred here. The monument to the Confederate dead was erected by the Ladies Memorial Association and was unveiled on May 19, 1892.
The cemetery was cared for and maintained by the Winstead family for a number of years, and the last private owner, Miss Mamie Winstead who died in 1989, willed the cemetery to the Mabry-Hazen Historical Museum Foundation.
The white frame house located on the property was built in 1886 due to efforts of the second sexton of the property, William H. Winstead, a Confederate veteran who lost his leg in the Battle of Gettysburg. In addition to the children, UDC members from Knoxville #89 and Captain W.Y.C. Hannum Chapter 1881 of Maryville, joined in the memorialization of the unknown dead.

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
Many languages provide their own purpose-built runtime; popular examples of this approach include Python (CPython), Ruby (MRI), and Java (the JVM).[270] In contrast, Clojure is fundamentally a hosted language, meaning that it targets an existing runtime, also the JVM.[271] This means that rather than reimplementing a variety of foundational facilities (e.g., garbage collection, just-in-time compilation, threading, graphics contexts, etc.) and libraries of all sorts (from basics like String handling to esoterica like cryptographic functions), Clojure simply reuses all of the work that's been done around the JVM.
Aside from simply being an implementation time saver, targeting a mature host is advantageous for the Clojure programmer as well:

A 9-year-old girl who was reported missing on Saturday was finally found but unfortunately she was found dead.
Authorities found the 9-year-old Indiana girl who was reported missing just a day before Christmas. The missing girl was found dead and a family friend has been charged for the murder of the 9-year-old girl. According to Allen County sheriff's spokesman Cpl. Jeremy Tinkel, the investigators found the body of the 9-year-old girl named Aliahna Lemmon in the county, but the exact location of where her body was found is not being disclosed.
The man who is now being charged for the murder of Aliahna Lemmon is the family's own 39-year-old friend by the name of Mike Plumadore. According to the details provided, Mike was charged with the responsibility of looking after Aliahna and her sisters before she was reported missing. Initially it was not clear how Aliahna Lemmon had gone missing, but after some suspicions arose, the police carried out detailed investigations and it was later found out that Mile Plumadore is being charged for the murder. Plumadore was "interviewed by police and taken into custody at 9 p.m. and charged with murder", according to a press release.
Aliahna Lemmon used to live with her parents and two other siblings at the rundown mobile home park in Fort Wayne. That area is known to have a number of sex offenders and out of the two dozen homes which are located there, there are 15 registered sex offenders. Even though Mike Plumadore is not a registered sex offender in that area, he has a criminal record in Florida and North Carolina that includes convictions for trespassing and assault.
A big search team was launched for Aliahna on Saturday but she could not be found anywhere. On Sunday the search party reduced considerably in size due to Christmas and then on Monday her body was found by the police. "Children don't just walk away during Christmastime," Aliahna's step-grandfather, David Story, said Monday afternoon.
According to the details provided by Aliahna's family, she and her other two sisters were staying with Mike Plumadore as Aliahna's mother, Tarah Souders, was down with influenza and their father worked during the night and slept through the day. According to Souders, Aliahna had vision and hearing problems and she was also suffering from attention deficit disorder and emotional problems.
When initially Plumadore was investigated, he said that he left the tree girls and went to a gas station. When he came back the three of them were at home and safe but when he later woke up after sleeping for some time then Aliahna was gone and he thought her mother must have taken her.
Mike Plumadore is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

The Duncan Banner
Two area Republican lawmakers say they're all for schools having shelters to keep kids safe during tornadoes, but they don't think a proposal by Democratic state Rep. Joe Dorman of Rush Springs is the path to get there.
Republican state Sen. Corey Brooks of Washington, Okla., and Rep. Dennis Johnson, R-Duncan, say a state government approach to the issue is not the best way to address it.
Dorman, whose district includes a slice of northwestern Stephens County, is a big backer of a petition drive seeking to redirect revenue from Oklahoma's franchise tax to pay for storm shelters in public schools.
The petition calls for a statewide vote on providing shelters through a $500 million bond issue. It would be funded by taking about $40 million in annual revenue from the franchise tax and using most of it to pay back the bond over several years.
The petition drive comes four months after tornadoes killed 47 people, including a twister that destroyed two schools in Moore and took the lives of seven children at Plaza Towers Elementary.
Dorman tried to get a shelter funding bill passed during the waning days of the last legislative session in May. He also wanted the issue considered during the recent special session. Republican Gov. Mary Fallin and GOP lawmakers who control the state House and Senate devoted the special session solely to making laws on limiting lawsuits constitutional.
"Protecting children is the responsibility of every Oklahoman," Dorman said Wednesday when backers of the petition drive held a news conference at the state Capitol.
"Parents deserve the peace of mind that their kids at school can have sufficient shelter during life-threatening weather," Dorman said. "In this region of the nation, that is far from a hypothetical situation."
Dorman, who cannot seek re-election again next year because of term limits, said the initiative proposal is the only plan that would not raise taxes to fund shelters on a large scale. Revenue from the franchise tax currently goes to the state's general fund — the account that pays for numerous state programs and services.
Johnson and Brooks said redirecting franchise tax revenue means taking away millions of dollars from worthy services and programs it helps fund while some funding needs are not addressed.
"Nobody that I know of, including myself, says we don't need shelters," said Johnson, a former mayor of Duncan. "Nobody is going to refute that, but we are not going to solve that problem overnight."
Johnson said $500 million is a lot of money.
"We have other needs," he said. "We have teachers who haven't had pay raises, highway patrolmen without pay raises."
Johnson said the needs of schools differ and it was "one of those problems best solved at the local level."
Brooks, whose district includes most of Duncan and a large portion of Stephens County, agreed.
He said many schools are teaming with foundations, businesses and nonprofit groups to raise money for storm shelters. Some are taking large, steel shipping containers, such as those hauled by ships and 18-wheelers, and partially burying them and stocking them as shelters, Brooks said.
Newcastle has done several projects over the last decade, including reinforcing existing school areas and making them safe, he said.
Brooks said he applauded Dorman and others for raising awareness about the issue but said "there is no free lunch" and government is probably the least-effective way to address the issue across-the-board.
If government controls the process, Brooks said, "We're going to build some big, reinforced concrete structures with rebars that will take forever to build and longer to design and probably forever to fund," he said.
Proponents of Dorman's plan have less than 90 days now to collect nearly 160,000 signatures of registered voters to put the issue on a statewide ballot.
