Psycho Therapy was one of the plays that surfaced in a weekly salon series Page conducted at her family home in Chelsea for three and a half years. Barbara Ligeti, the producer who brought it in, suggested they do it over the winter. A week later, while attending the reading of a Lyle Kessler play at the Cherry Lane, Page met Angelina Fiordellisi, who runs the theatre and just happened to have an opening.
The Off-Broadway play proved a snug fit with the play that Page will be doing on Broadway. She's part of the all-star cast that will be reviving Gore Vidal's The Best Man at the Schoenfeld. "I'm Catherine. The way my director describes her: 'She's the sex-kitten political aide that John Larroquette paws on.'"
Her previous brush with Broadway was in Warren Leight's 1998 Tony winner, Side Man, in which she wound up playing both female characters — starting with the blowsy barmaid, Patsy, and graduating to the harridan housewife, Terry.

She recently contended for a second Helen Hayes Award for her performance of Ivy Weston in Tracy Letts' likewise Tony-winning August: Osage County, led by that Energizer bunny of actors, Estelle Parsons.
"One of the reasons I went on that tour of August: Osage County was that I wanted to watch Estelle do that tour. That's what I want to be when I grow up. I feel like we're kin. I've played her daughter twice. After the first time, I said, 'I'm never doing this again,' and then August: Osage County and I was, like, 'Okay! A three-and-a-half hour play, 21 cities in 11 months! Let's go!' On the road with Estelle — it was just divine. You can never rest for a moment when you're on stage with her because she'll eat you alive.

"Ivy's the middle sister who falls in love with her cousin, who turns out to be her brother. I could have done any of the sisters, but Ivy was the part I wanted to play. Her arc was so challenging and her journey so unexpected. It was a much different part for me to play — the wallflower who's almost invisible 'til the third act when, all of a sudden, her mother's not around and you hear what's going on inside her head."
Page's first Broadway job was understudying Natasha Richardson in Anna Christie. Her own father played Anna's father, so that aspect worked out well. "I loved him in Anna Christie. I got to see him every night. That was the one reason I would liked to have gone on. I try to give my understudies always one performance because I didn't get one that time when I understudied. Now, I'm glad I never went on because it put a real fire in my belly to do it. I got this itch."
Last year she started scratching that itch. "We did it at the Actors Studio. It was so, so good. I've been working on it for many years, on and off, exploring it at the Studio. Wilson Milam, the director of The Lieutenant of Inishmore, was our director, and we were about to move it to a commercial run when there was word that the Donmar Warehouse was bringing over an English version. I said, 'So what? Let's have dueling Annas.' Neither production happened, but I just talked to some producers who want to do a site-specific version on a boat at the end of the summer or early fall of this year — for a very limited run, maybe 25 performances."
She believes, for all practical purposes, Torn has quietly retired. "He's got a great place up in Connecticut. He loves farming and fishing — y'know, he seems perfectly content. And he's writing his memoirs." One volatile chapter will be the bizarre show-me-the-way-to-go-home headlines he made last January when he mistook the local Salisbury bank for his home. Father and daughter are currently cooling it.
"We're taking a little bit of a break. I'm sure we'll reconvene. I was the closest to him out of all my siblings for many, many years. I traveled with him a lot of times when he was working so I'm letting my siblings get their fair share of time in now. I need a bit of time to myself right now because my whole family can be a little distracting."

Wow this could be a real game changer. Out of focus photos are so annoying. I will seriously consider this as long as it isn't outrageously expensive.

Photos you can refocus: Lytro promises camera within a year
Startup company Lytro is claiming to be close to launching a camera that allows any point of focus to be specified after the shot is taken. The concept behind the device, called a light-field, or plenoptic camera camera has surfaced regularly over the past few years, but now Lytro, founded by Stanford PhD Ren Ng, says it will have a product ready within a year. The concept uses a series of microlenses to split the incoming light rays across multiple sensor pixels, depending on the angle from which it arrived. This additional information about the angle of the arriving light makes it possible to recalculate different focus points after the image has been shot, but at the cost of lower image resolution. The company hasn't, as yet, provided details such as its system's output resolution. (From the New York Times)

We have an app written with Delphi 2006 and using Rave Reports to generate PDFs. A Japanese user of our software cannot open the PDFs (with Acrobat reader) our software produces when they run our software on a Japanese version of Windows (probably Win7). I have the same problem if I try to open the same PDF (which they have sent us) with Acrobat reader on an English-language Win XP machine :
There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (109).
Ctrl-OK produces "object label badly formatted"
PDF files produced on English installations of our software read fine on our PCs and on the Japanese user's PC
Does anyone have any idea where this error is coming from?
I do not know Rave Reports; is this part or an extension of Delphi?
I remember a few years ago when I worked on a Delphi project, I always compiled the Japanese version of the software with the Japanese Delphi version. I do not exactly remember why, but it may have been a fonts issue.
Do you have Acrobat available? If so, if you open that faulty PDF with Acrobat, then re-save it, does that fix the problem? If yes, then you may be able to find out what the difference is between the two files.
I am very sorry; Acrobat gives me the exactly same error as you get in Adobe Reader.
I have even tried to open it with Acrobat XI (beta), but I am still getting the same error.
Since the failure only occurs when the document is issued on Japanese Windows, do I assume correctly that the document may contain Japanese characters?
If so, are there provisions in your Delphi software and/or Rave Reports that multibyte / wide characters are handled correctly? Are there specifications for Japanese (or Unicode) fonts?
Sorry, this is about all I can think of.
I just had a look at the second document you sent me (Foxit output), and it appears that there are timestamps that contain Japanese characters (but are rendered as "mojibake" garbage characters).
That seems to prove that multibyte / wide characters are not handled, either in your software, or in Rave Reports.
A Japanese timestamp would properly look like 2012年8月6日 18:54:20
P.S. some reading: http://www.inter-locale.com/whitepaper/DelphiI18NCookbook.html
Hi Pat,
Thanks for looking at this.
Yes, there are almost certainly Japanese characters. If you look at the second (readable) version I sent you can see where part of the date has been rendered incorrectly - this is because they have their regional settings arranged so that the Japanese year character is used, and the version of Delphi we use doesn't support those multibyte characters.
It seems unreasonable for Acrobat Reader to choke on this however.
Here'a binary dump of the relevant part of the file
I was unable to open the "repaired" PDF with Acrobat; I am still getting the same error (as you get with Adobe Reader).
I am currently not even sure if it is the Japanese characters that are causing the error. And I do not know enough about the internal structure of PDF documents to analyze it. (I have even downloaded PDF-Analyzer, but that doesn't really tell me anything about your doc.)
I don't know how you obtain the timestamps in your application, but would it be possible to obtain these timestamps in a plain ASCII format?
Hi Pat,
The time and date in our application are formatted using the user's "Regional Settings" date format. I'm pretty sure that if the Japanese users set their date format to use a Romaji (i.e. english) date formats instead of Japanese characters the funny date characters will go away, but as you said this isn't the (only) problem, given that the file still faults when I scrub them out.
I think it's worth a try (to use a romaji date format), as it may have font implications.
I have played with Acrobat Preflight this afternoon, but even Preflight is unable to open your document.
I have also downloaded a PDF Repair tool, which in fact was able to repair your PDF. But then when I compared the two PDF files with a hex compare tool, the two files are dramatically different. But the section where the timestamps appear are still identical (mojibake).
So it appears as if it is not the Japanese characters per se that make the document unreadable, but something else - related to it.
This case is really intriguing!

Toshiba and Hitachi join Sony in antitrust investigation
None of the companies have disclosed what products are being investigated, but rumors suggest that it may be related to the high cost of Blu-ray. Combined, the companies account for some 60% of the optical drive market, so it wouldn't be surprising if they've been involved in some form of price-fixing and bid-rigging -- especially considering AT&T's recent allegations of an LCD conspiracy.
Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi have all agreed to comply with the investigation, and it could be a while before specific details of the case emerge.
User Comments: 14
Got something to say? Post a comment-
All of these recent Antitrust investigations/lawsuits are really making me sad.
Why can't people just do things fairly?
I swear there's hardly any more honor left in this world of ours.
People can't do things fairly because we all have a hard time determining exactly what is fair. I'm sure all of these companies would LIKE to do things fairly, but we live in a very competitive society. Consequently, almost anyone will go through any loophole they can to get ahead of the game (or, nowadays, to keep up with it!).
Well I have seen cheaper blu-ray players out there. Don't know about the quality though. But I'm guessing if you have a cheaper player that plays a blu-ray disc most won't complain. So I don't see how 'artificially' high prices from the 'prestigious' companies will be an issue. Those that don't have the cash will buy cheap (and that will be the power of the majority of consumers). Early adopters and enthusiasts will almost always spend more. I guess it comes down to how badly you want the newest and the best. It seems to me that these antitrust investigations are just lining other peoples pockets who have nothing better to do with their time...
Could the price still be set artificially high due to the fact that blue ray is the "New thing"? Will we see this in the OLED tv sector? I wonder....
I think a manufacturer has a right to charge what they like, it is up to the consumer to vote with their pocket. If the price is too high, there will not be many sales, so the price comes down. I would expect a business to follow the price reduction process until they reach a sweet spot where they are still making a profit and able to sell in quantity. For manufacturers, there is the cost to setup the manufacturing process, which can be quite expensive, and this is part of the reason for high initial prices of items. Given the short life span of many devices, I can imagine they may not cover that cost on some items.
I think it just shows that companies of today will do just about anything and everything to get ahead of the other companies. They could care less who they step on to get there. IMO they of course were involved in this.
Making profit is good.But companies must follow some certain rules.
In response to waterytowers:
If manufacturers were able to charge whatever they wanted, you wouldn't be able to afford half the things that you can.
As far as price inflation, doesn't a Blu-Ray drive pretty much function just like a DVD or CD Drive with the exception of a different laser to actually read/write the disc? If so, then a Blu-Ray drive has most the components of the earlier optical drives, and you can get a DVD burner for $30...
Also, according to DigiTimes, the manufacturing cost of a Blu-Ray player is around $100 (US Dollars)...
Read the full article here:
I really home Sony is not involved in any price "fixing". Granted they are a bit more expensive (any product) than other, but damn do they last.
I find it strange that Blu-ray cost is said to be $100, since it's possible to buy a PC blu-ray drive for $60 at Newegg. Sure there's more stuff in a player, but still. On the other hand, if cost is really $100, then the current prices aren't too high. Most players are currently under $200. It's also not that bad compared to how DVD players cost in the early years. My first one cost around $300, and it wasn't the most expensive.
Sony screwing the consumes once again.. what a shock.
They have a reputation for this sort of crap for a reason.. and for anyone trying to defend them remember Sony not only was the "rootkit" king.. but they are so damn dense they even tried to sue themselves at one time.
So the culprit might be aimed at blueray , funny how Toshiba may be involved since they were on the other side of things. Could be a way for them to recoup costs.
There is a class action lawsuit forming to recover damages to consumers who purchased products from any of these three companies, which contained a DVD drive. To participate as a class representative you must have purchased the product directly from the manufacturer, not a retailer. For example, someone who purchased a Sony VAIO from Sony's website would qualify. For more information about the suit, incentives for participants and obligations, you may call me at 973-960-9094.

hi spacey, pretty amazing and inspiring to see your advancing in enviro-painting from january to now. keep up!
Thanks kfeeras! I have been putting a lot of effort into my environments, and im pretty happy with the results, but i keep trying to improve myself

Keep up...
Thanks thedestroyer
Here are a few more recent sketches. First 2 are concepts for a matte painting which will have live action in the foreground which is why there is the black matte at the bottom. No reference used:
The first sketch was discarded, so it is the second one which will become the matte painting.
This is a sketch that I did earlier tonight using photo ref:
Been far too long since I updated, so here's a couple of speedies
Hey there nick nice sketchbook so far. If I were to give u some advice based on the work ive seen it would probly be the same advice i try to give myself every once in a while. Its that a lot of your views you choose, the perspective, are usualyl from a regular eye level. Like you are looking directly at the horizon.
I think its the easiest view for humans in general but Its one of those things that makes an image more dynamic.
Keep it up!
Excelent Landscapes man!!
Really great stuff!!

Brain Develops Longer in Womb for Humans Than Chimps
MONDAY, Sept. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Humans' larger brain size in comparison to chimpanzees begins in the womb, a new study finds.
Japanese researchers tracked and compared growth in human and chimpanzee fetuses and found notable differences. In both species, the brain grows increasingly quickly in the womb at first.
But after 22 weeks' gestation, brain growth in chimpanzees starts to level off while human brain growth continues to accelerate for at least another two months, according to the study in the Sept. 25 issue of the journal Current Biology.
Normal gestation time is 38 weeks for humans and 33 to 34 weeks for chimpanzees.
The researchers used 3D ultrasound imaging of two pregnant chimpanzees from about 14 to 34 weeks of gestation and compared them to images of developing human fetuses.
"Nobody knew how early these differences between human and chimp brains emerged," study author Satoshi Hirata, of Kyoto University, said in a journal news release, which calls this the first study to measure chimps' brain development in the womb.
In a previous study, the same team compared brain development in chimps and humans from the age of 6 months to 6 years.
"Elucidating these differences in the developmental patterns of brain structure between humans and great apes will provide important clues to understand the remarkable enlargement of the modern human brain and humans' sophisticated behavior," study co-author Tomoko Sakai said in the news release.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Jensen or league
I've heard league is closer for La but there a lot of sites saying Jensen is + Jensen is ranked higher then league . Anyone know ?
When is your Draft? Because, there is plenty of time to have that worked out before I'd expect a draft to be done where the answer is given by the team.
- 1 Reply to BrewCrewDue
I ain't drafting till end of march .
League should be the opening day closer for the Dodgers unless he gets a injury in spring training or for what ever reason the Dodgers staff changes there mind. So I would take League over Jensen

Serves four.
Sauce yields about 1/2 cup, enough for four servings.
Sear-roasting is a restaurant technique you can easily to do at home. For the best sear, you'll need to get your pan extremely hot first. Then, once you add the pork to the pan, no fiddling! You'll be rewarded for your patience when the pork takes on a rich, browned crust. After browning, the pork heads into the oven where it finishes cooking. Be sure that the oven has reached 425°F before starting to sear—most ovens take 20 to 30 minutes to heat up thoroughly.
Heat the oven to 425°F. Turn the exhaust fan on to high. Pat the pork chops with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper (about 1 tsp. of each total). Heat a 12-inch heavy-based ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until a droplet of water vaporizes in 1 or 2 seconds, about 1 min. (If the water skitters around the pan and doesn't evaporate, the pan is too hot; take it off the heat for about 30 seconds to cool.)
Add the oil, swirl it around the pan, and then evenly space the pork chops in the pan. Cook without touching for 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift a corner of the pork, check that it's both well browned and easily releases from the pan, and flip it over. (If it sticks or isn't well browned, cook for 1 to 2 more min. before flipping.) Cook the second side for 1 minute and then transfer the skillet to the oven.
Roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and is just firm to the touch, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using potholders, carefully remove the pan from the oven, transfer the pork to a large plate, tent with foil, and let it rest while you prepare the sauce in the same skillet.
Pour off any excess fat from the skillet. Return the pan to high heat and add the chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. Cook, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate any browned bits, until the broth is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 5 min. Stir in the figs, honey, and thyme and cook until the sauce is reduced by another 1 to 2 Tbs., about 1 min. Add the butter and swirl it into the sauce until it's completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately.
Wine Choices: The sweet fruit elements and intense flavors in the sauce call for a wine with really ripe fruit, like Zinfandel or Shiraz.

by dwmur, 9/6/2013Sauce is perfect compliment to the pork.
by jdmorris, 6/14/2012This was amazing! Definitely one of my favorite fine cooking recipes. A bit strong on the thyme though
by hungry_teacher, 10/19/2011Agree with all of you! Easy and quick. I will definitely double the sauce. You can always rely on recipes from FC. Thank you!
by ColleenCC, 1/24/2011Ditto everyone else! Amazing flavor, elegant and so easy and quick for a weeknight dinner too. Don't change a thing and you can't go wrong. We don't often make a recipe twice but we will make a point of saving this one to do again - soon!
by dragnonfly57, 10/3/2009This is one incredible dish. I made the recipe exactly and would not change a thing. The chops came out tender and the flavour of the balsamic fig sauce was to die for. I can't wait to make it again. A great meal to impress dinner guests with.
by rdwinelvr, 9/28/2009This was soooo yummy!! The pork chops come out juicy and flavorful - and the sauce... oh my ... you have to try this sauce!
by pcouper, 7/23/2008This is so good and easy enough for weeknight cooking. The sauce makes it - don't miss this one!
by cway, 4/30/2008Wonderful Recipe. I doubled the sauce and could have eaten more sauce.

Hallstatt, Upper Austria, is a village in the Salzkammergut, a region in Austria. It is located near the Hallstätter See (a lake). At the 2001 census, it had 946 inhabitants. Alexander Scheutz has been mayor of Hallstatt since 2009.
Hallstatt is known for its production of salt, dating back to prehistoric times, and gave its name to the Hallstatt culture, a culture often linked to Celtic, Proto-Celtic, and pre-Illyrian peoples in Early Iron Age Europe, c.800–450 BCE. Some of the earliest archaeological evidence for the Celts was found in Hallstatt.
Situated in the south-western shore of the Hallstätter Sea, the town lies in the geographical region of Salzkammergut, on the national road linking Salzburg and Graz.
Salt was a valuable resource, so the region was historically very wealthy. It is possible to tour the world's first known salt mine, located above downtown Hallstatt.
The village also gave its name to the early Iron Age Hallstatt culture and is a World Heritage Site for Cultural Heritage. Hallstatt is a popular tourist attraction owing to its small-town appeal and can be toured on foot in ten minutes.
Early history[edit]
There are to date no recorded notable events that took place in Hallstatt during Roman rule or the early Middle Ages. In 1311, Hallstatt became a market town, a sign that it had not lost its economic value. Today, apart from salt production, which since 1595 is transported for 40 kilometres from Hallstatt to Ebensee via a brine pipeline, tourism plays a major factor in the town's economic life. Tourists are told that Hallstatt is the site of "the world's oldest pipeline",[2] which was constructed 400 years ago from 13,000 hollowed out trees.[3] There is so little place for cemeteries that every ten years bones used to be exhumed and removed into an ossuary, to make room for new burials.[3] A collection of elaborately decorated skulls with the owners' names, professions, death dates inscribed on them is on display at the local chapel.[4]
19th century[edit]
Until the late 19th century, it was only possible to reach Hallstatt by boat or via narrow trails. The land between the lake and mountains was sparse, and the town itself exhausted every free patch of it. Access between houses on the river bank was by boat or over the upper path, a small corridor passing through attics. The first road to Hallstatt was only built in 1890, along the west shore, partially by rock blasting.
However this secluded and inhospitable landscape nevertheless counts as one of the first places of human settlement because of the rich sources of natural salt, which have been mined for thousands of years, originally in the shape of hearts owing to the use of an antler pick.[3] Some of Hallstatt's oldest archaeological finds, such as a shoe-last celt, date back to around 5500 BC. In 1846 Johann Georg Ramsauer discovered a large prehistoric cemetery close by the current location of Hallstatt. Ramsauer's work at the Hallstatt cemeteries continued until 1863, unearthing more than 1000 burials. It is to his credit and to the enormous benefit of archaeology that he proceeded to excavate each one with the same slow, methodical care as the first. His methods included measuring and drawing each find, in an age before color photography, he produced very detailed watercolors of each assemblage before it was removed from the ground. In the history of archaeology Ramsauer's work at Hallstatt helped usher in a new, more systematic way of doing archaeology. In addition, one of the first blacksmith sites was excavated there. Active trade and thus wealth allowed for the development of a highly developed culture, which, after findings in the Salzberghochtal, was named the Hallstatt culture. This lasted from approximately 800 to 400 BC.
On 16 June 2011, plans to build a replica in China were first reported.[5] On 2 June 2012, it was reported that Chinese mining company China Minmetals Corporation built a full-scale replica of the entire town in Huizhou, Guangdong province.[6][7]

2014 Circa Monthly Tabs & Pullout Calend
2014 Circa Monthly Tabs amp Pullout Calend
Great way to start the year, end the month
I keep open flat on desk - on left is my month on right are my goals - I think designed to have The months goals on back of the tab - but this works better for me - I am visual prefer seeing both at once. The pullout year at a glance helps planning tremendously.
January 31, 2014
A needed addition to the calendar
I use the weekly calendar from Levenger and this is a needed addition to that. You can now easily find the months you are looking for with the tabs. And the pull out yearly calendar is just amazing. I love being able to see an entire year at once. With a school age child and a full time job, I can fill in all of her days off and see everything at a glance for easy planning. You won't find this anywhere else. I get jealous looks every time I pull it out.
January 25, 2014
Disappointing Calendar
I love Levenger and Circa products particularly, but was so disappointed when my 2014 Circa Monthly tabs and pullout calendar in the letter size arrived. I expected the calendar to be on 2 pages, like it is on the junior size. Instead its crunched on one side, and the next month's goals and planning is facing it! I never would have ordered it if a picture of the calendar was on the site.
January 5, 2014
Circa Products
These products are fantastic. I took my iPad to meetings and they look at me like I am sitting there playing Candy Crush. The books are more professional. I love that everyone at the table can have one but they are not the same. I love the yearly fold out calendar. I love that I can punch my own pages into my book. I can organize the way I want to organize not the way someone else wants me to. I can wait to buy more of these products.
December 2, 2013
Good for historic perspective
I'm in the process of implementing structure to teams that had very little. Applying a structured approach to project planning often means looking at progress differently: a look-back (health check) provides the most perspective. I like these foldout calendars for that reason: we use it to track the deliverable timelines we are publishing, so we can see how drastically they change as we get better and better at estimating our time/effort. I am a devout electronic calendar kind of person, so keeping a manual version seemed a bit contradictory at first, but this quickly answers the question of each expectation we set.
December 1, 2013
Truly a perfect view all in one place
I have various committees that I volunteer on and to use this style of calendar makes it easy to keep track of with all the different due dates and items for each.
November 18, 2013
Battery is Great
I've used many different planners over the years and for the last 6 or 7 at least I've tried to "go electronic" but after incompatibilities and lost notes due to "upgrades" I have returned to the ever reliable pen and paper. Levenger and Circa have made my life easy and organized again. With the monthly layout and the ability to add and remove notes and to do lists i don't have a cluttered calendar and I look cool!
November 17, 2013
A necessity for streamlined agenda
I've used zillions of agenda systems over the years and frankly kept up with them because there was just TOO much and all I really wanted to do was be able to recall a few important people/daily events and be able to visually plan long term--otherwise I use my Iphone. Circa is a great way to do this with the regular sheets adaptable to my needs for daily entries and this particular calendar insert. I find that is really all I need (along with a few sheet dividers). Plenty of people want detailed, comprehensive pages and sections, but for those who really want to adapt to their own needs, I think this is a great way to do it.
August 10, 2013
A haiku in praise of my paper calendar
Internet is down Your calendar is online Try writing stuff down
April 10, 2013
Monthly Calendar
I always maintain my calendar in pencil because of frequent changes. Over time, it appears a more glossy paper is being used which makes writing in pencil difficult. Please go back to a less glossy paper for us pencil users...

Man in mislabeled meat case sentenced
BENNINGTON A Vermont man who used false labels saying the meat he sold from his New York poultry farm was free range and farm raised when it was bought from wholesalers has been sentenced to two years of probation.
Craig Acton of Bennington pleaded guilty to fraudulently using a USDA legend on meat he sold through his Buskirk, N.Y., farm.
He was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court Northern District of New York.
The Bennington Banner reports prosecutor Daniel Hanlon said Acton would buy meat from other legitimate suppliers. He would use false USDA labels saying it was from his farm and qualifying as organic so it could be sold at a higher price.
Acton said a flood killed 1,000 of his chickens and forced him into dire financial straits.MORE IN This Just InORLANDO After she drove her minivan into the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean, authorities...

FBI hopes sculpture will help identify remains found in Sauget
Dotson calls for FBI probe of officer-involved shooting
St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson is doing something he's never done before. He's calling for an FBI investigation of an officer-involved shooting.
In April 2013, 25 year old Cary Ball was shot to death by police after he fled a traffic stop. The officers say Ball had pointed his gun at them. A police investigation concluded last month that the shooting was justified.
Ball's family told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that they don't believe he would have aimed a gun at police. They've filed a wrongful-death suit.
Chief Dotson told the paper that he's asked for the FBI probe to make certain his department got it right, and not because of any allegations against the officers involved.
STL Co. Police Chief asks FBI to help in Health Dept. investigation
St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch is asking the FBI to help in the investigation of suspicious financial dealings at the county health department. Chief Fitch has asked the FBI to conduct a forensic investigation into the financial records involving former health department administrator Ed Mueth.
County police are trying to determine if Mueth had co-conspirators when he allegedly used a bogus computer company to steal millions of dollars from the county before committing suicide.
Chief Fitch says his department has received hundreds of pages of subpoenaed records and wants to question dozens of people over Mueth's financial dealings.
FBI identifies John Doe 27
He has only been known as John Doe 27. But Thursday, the FBI announced it had identified the man wanted in connection with child pornography circulating on the Internet.
Authorities say the man was photographed while engaging in sexually explicit activities with a child.
Law enforcement agencies went of the offensive earlier this week and it is now believed that tips generated from the publicity campaign have led to the identification and location, in the Midwest, of the man in the photographs.
At this time, no arrest warrants have been issued or served, but the investigation continues. The FBI says it is grateful to the public for their vigilance and assistance in this case.
PNC offering reward in city bank robbery
The search for a pair of bank robbers continues and the FBI says PNC Bank is now offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible.
The PNC branch in the 41-hundred block of South Grand was robbed just after 10:30 A.M. on November 5.
Both subjects are considered armed and dangerous.
Subject #1 is described as a black male, 6' 2" tall, and 250 lbs. He was wearing a flannel shirt, a dark hoodie, and a red knit cap that may have the words "St. Louis" on the front. He was also wearing jeans and tennis shoes.
Subject #2 is described as a black male, slender, and 6' 5" tall. He was wearing a maroon athletic jacket with white sleeves, jeans, and gloves. He draped some type of blue clothing over his head.
The stolen money may be identifiable as a result of possible dye stains on the bills. If you have information, please contact FBI St. Louis at 314-589-2500.

FBI getting tips about mystery girl in Gypsy camp
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The FBI is looking into whether a child found at a Gypsy camp in Greece is a Kansas City, Mo., girl, although the children's ages don't appear to match.
FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said Tuesday the October 2011 disappearance of Lisa Irwin from her Kansas City home remains an open investigation and that agents follow up on all tips. Patton says the agency began receiving calls after the image of a girl found with a Gypsy couple appeared in media reports.
A dental examination showed the girl in Greece, known only as "Maria," is older than previously thought - 5 or 6, instead of 4.
Lisa would turn 3 in November. Her family's attorney, John Picerno, says he has spoken to authorities about the investigation in Greece.
FBI found 4 explosives in Holmes' apartment
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) - Three FBI experts say they found four types of explosives and other chemicals when they tested items found in Colorado theater shooting defendant James Holmes' apartment.
The experts testified Tuesday at a pretrial hearing to determine whether they will testify at Holmes' trial. They shed little new light on the case and mostly answered questions about testing methods.
Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 2012 attack.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers are arguing over evidence that could be used to weaken his insanity claim, including homemade bombs found in his apartment.
Police have said the bombs were intricately planned and were meant to divert officers from the theater. Prosecutors could cite that as evidence Holmes was sane.
Man arrested in O'Fallon, Ill. bank heist
O'FALLON, Ill. (AP) - A man suspected of robbing a southwestern Illinois bank is jailed pending charges, as authorities try to figure out whether he may have been involved in holdups in other states.
Investigators say the man was arrested Tuesday near a Swansea cornfield after they found a car matching the description of a vehicle that had been used two hours earlier to rob the Bank of O'Fallon.
The search for the man involved dozens of law enforcers and an Illinois State Police airplane.
Authorities say the man entered the bank, implied he had a weapon and demanded money from a teller before running away.
O'Fallon interim police chief Jeff Wild says the man may be responsible for other bank robberies outside Illinois.
There's no immediate word on charges. The FBI is investigating.
One arrested after bomb scare in Shiloh, IL
A suspect is in custody after a bomb scare in Shiloh, Illinois Thursday afternoon.
FBI officials say they learned of a bomb threat about 2:00 p.m.
Special Agents and Bomb Technicians from the FBI, the Illinois State Police Hazardous Device Unit and the Shiloh Police responded to a home in the first block of Twin Oaks Drive.
Several nearby homes were evacuated while bomb technicians used a robotic device to locate, identify, and disarm potential explosive devices inside the home.
The suspect's identity hasn't been released. The FBI continues to investigate.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Eric Wittenberg was driving back to his home in Columbus, Ohio, from a speaking engagement in Virginia when the author crossed the West Virginia line, noticed that his gas gauge was approaching empty, and took the exit ramp at White Sulphur Springs to fill up.
"At the edge of the gas station's parking lot, there was a historic marker for the Battle of Dry Creek -- a battle I wasn't familiar with," Wittenberg recalled. "While I was waiting for my wife to come out of the convenience store, I wandered over to read it."
Wittenberg was surprised to learn that the federal force involved in the 1863 battle was led by Gen. William Woods Averell, a Union cavalry officer he had researched and written about in producing his 2006 book, "The Union Cavalry Comes of Age: Hartwood Church to Brandy Station."
After reading the sign, Wittenberg said he realized that "maybe I didn't know as much about Averell as I should have."
Wittenberg, the author of "The Battle of White Sulphur Springs: Averell Fails to Secure West Virginia," and a leading authority on Civil War cavalry operations, will be the guest speaker during a Kanawha Valley Civil War Roundtable meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday in South Charleston Public Library.
The bloody, two-day battle on the outskirts of White Sulphur Springs during the summer of 1863 is the topic of Wittenberg's free public lecture.
Wittenberg's connection with the battle began in February of 2010, with the refueling stop along Interstate 64.
As his trip home continued, Wittenberg stopped at Tamarack and bought a copy of Tim McKinney's "The Civil War in Greenbrier County" to begin researching a fiercely fought battle that was known by a variety of names, including the Battle of Rocky Gap, the Battle of Dry Creek, the Battle of Howard's Creek, the Battle of White Sulphur Springs and the Battle of the Law Books.
The last name for the engagement stems from the main objective of Averell's mission -- to seize the contents of the Virginia Supreme Court's law library, housed in the Greenbrier County Courthouse in Lewisburg.
Before the Civil War broke out, Virginia's Supreme Court met at least once each year in Western Virginia, where, for the sake of convenience, a law library identical to the one in Richmond was maintained in Lewisburg. The law library was needed in Wheeling to help the newly formed state of West Virginia create the framework for its own Supreme Court of Appeals.
Averell, a West Point graduate and wounded Indian Wars cavalry veteran, served with distinction during the Peninsula and Seven Days campaigns in Virginia in 1862. He was named commander of the Army of the Potomac's 1st Cavalry Brigade, which he led during the Fredericksburg Campaign later that year. In 1863, he led the 2nd Division of the Cavalry Corps to victory in the Battle of Kelly's Ford, but a few months later, took part in Stoneman's Raid during the Chancellorsville Campaign, an action that proved to be a disaster for the Union.
Gen. Joseph Hooker relieved Averell of his command for a perceived lack of aggressiveness during the raid. "I think Averell got a raw deal," Wittenberg said. "He did nothing wrong, in my opinion."
Averell was sent to what became the new state of West Virginia to take over command of the 4th Separate Brigade, a mish-mash of mounted infantry, infantry and artillery units.

About Isaac / יצחק .
- Genesis 21:1-6 Born and named.
- Genesis 25:19-29 Married with children.
- Note: laughter. (1) Israel, or the kingdom of the ten tribes (Amos 7:9, 16). (2.) The only son of Abraham by Sarah. He was the longest lived of the three patriarchs (Gen. 21:1-3). He was circumcised when eight days old (4-7); and when he was probably two years old a great feast was held in connection with his being weaned.
The next memorable event in his life is that connected with the command of God given to Abraham to offer him up as a sacrifice on a mountain in the land of Moriah (Gen. 22). According to Talmudic sources, this happened when he was 37.
When he was 40 years old Rebekah was chosen for his wife (Gen. 24). After the death and burial of his father he took up his residence at Beer-lahai-roi (25:7-11), where his two sons, Esau and Jacob, were born (21-26), the former of whom seems to have been his favourite son (27,28). In consequence of a famine (Gen. 26:1) Isaac went to Gerar, where he practiced deception as to his relation to Rebekah, imitating the conduct of his father in Egypt (12:12-20) and in Gerar (20:2). The Philistine king rebuked him for his prevarication. After sojourning for some time in the land of the Philistines, he returned to Beer-Sheba, where God gave him fresh assurance of covenant blessing, and where Abimelech entered into a covenant of peace with him. The next chief event in his life was the blessing of his sons (Gen. 27:1).
He died at Mamre, "being old and full of days" (35:27-29), 180 years old, and was buried in the cave of Machpelah, where his parents were buried earlier.
In the New Testament reference is made to his having been "offered up" by his father (Heb. 11:17; James 2:21), and to his blessing his sons (Heb. 11:20). As the child of promise, he is contrasted with Ishmael (Rom. 9:7, 10; Gal. 4:28; Heb. 11:18). Isaac is "at once a counterpart of his father in simple devoutness and purity of life, and a contrast in his passive weakness of character, which in part, at least, may have sprung from his relations to his mother and wife. After the expulsion of Ishmael and Hagar, Isaac had no competitor, and grew up in the shade of Sarah's tent, molded into feminine softness by habitual submission to her strong, loving will." His life was so quiet and uneventful that it was spent "within the circle of a few miles; so guileless that he let Jacob overreach him rather than disbelieve his assurance; so tender that his mother's death was the poignant sorrow of years; so patient and gentle that peace with his neighbors was dearer than even such a coveted possession as a well of living water dug by his own men; so grandly obedient that he put his life at his father's disposal; so firm in his reliance on God that his greatest concern through life was to honor the divine promise given to his race.", Geikie's Hours, etc. -------------------- Genesis 25 Isaac's Sons
19Now these are the records of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham became the father of Isaac; 20and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is so, why then am I this way?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. 23The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And the older shall serve the younger." 24When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25Now the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26Afterward his brother came forth with his hand holding on to Esau's heel, so his name was called [a]Jacob; and Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them. 27When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents.
-------------------- Su nombre significa "reírse". Porque en dos ocasiones en que Dios se llegó a Abraham para decirle que lo iba a bendecir con otro hijo, se rieron tanto él como Sara. (Gén. 17:17 y 18:10-13). . . . Isaac tenía 42 años cuando se casó con Rebeca, la aramea que vivía en Padan-aram. Rebeca era esteril pero Isaac rogó al Señor por ella; el Señor oyó su oración y Rebeca tuvo mellizos, uno pelirojo al cual llamaron Esaú y su hermano, al que llamaron Jacob. Isaac tenía 60 años cuando Rebeca dió a luz.. . . Después de algún tiempo hubo una gran escasez de alimentos en toda la región, y pensó Isaac en ir a Egipto. Pero el Señor se le apareció y le impidió que fuera, reafirmándole la promesa que había hecho a su padre Abraham. Prometiéndole que sus descendientes serían tan numerosos como las estrellas del cielo y prometiéndole más tierras y más bendiciones. (Gén. 26:1-5). . . Isaac habitó en Gerar, donde vivía Abimelec, rey de los filisteos. Pero, con el tiempo, se enriqueció tanto que Abimelec lo echó de aquella región y fue a acampar en el valle de Gerar en donde volvió a abrir los pozos de agua que los filisteos habían tapado y moró allí. De allí Isaac se fue a Beerseba en donde el Señor se le apareció para hacerle de nuevo la promesa! (Gén. 26:12-25). . . La fecha aproximada de su nacimiento y de su muerte es c. 1904-1724 a. de J.C.. -------------------- aka Ishaq (Yitzhak Isaakh); poss. aka Mempsasthenoth; poss. related to Isis; Heir of the Covenant
