NEWTON FALLS - The village has agreed to pay former police Chief John Kuivila six months of severance pay, including vacation hours and benefits, totaling about $50,000, according to his lawyer Kimberly Kendall.
"In the end, they exercised their rights," Kendall said on Friday.
Kendall said she was notified of the severance agreement by email a few days after Kuivila was terminated by a unanimous council vote on Feb. 12.
According to the termination ordinance, the decision was made as an emergency measure to preserve public peace, health, welfare and the safety of the community. In December, an investigation was made into allegations of sexual harassment by Kuivila after two female employees at the police department turned in handwritten statements to Village Manager Jack Haney.
Kendall maintains that Kuivila did nothing wrong and that for this reason the council was forced to use the "no cause" section of Kuivila's contract as opposed to the "for cause" section to terminate his employment.
At this time, she said she is unaware of any pending litigation.
"The majority of City Council of Newton Falls believes that the Police Chief has undermined his ability to remain an effective leader," said Haney in a news release from Feb. 12. "Further, the City Council believes this action is for the good of all concerned, including the community, Police Department and the parties involved."
Haney declined to comment on the matter further, and Kuivila was unable to be reached for comment.

LibraryThing Review
User Review - LibraryThingDupe is the first book of a series featuring private investigator Anna Lee. Anna was a cop, then realized that she was going nowhere (this was in the 80s, mind you) with her career, and she got a job with the Brierly security company as an investigator. Her boss reluctantly assigns her to the case of Deirdre Jackson, who was found dead in a car accident. There seemed to be no hint of foul play, but the parents a) don't believe it for a minute and b) want to know what their close-mouthed little darling had been up to in the months previous to her death. So off Anna goes, and her investigations take her inside the cinematic world, where at least one person wants her off the case, and others have many secrets they're not giving up. Anna is a kind of gutsy girl, and considering this was written in 1980, was a strong character for the time. Of course now we are reading about the guts and glory of Lisbeth Salander (from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo fame) so to us, Anna is a bit tame, but still, within the context of the time, a pretty rare kind of heroine. The supporting characters all have their own idiosyncracies (especially her boss and his assistant), and for a first effort, not bad. What I didn't really like was that probably about the first three-fourths of the book were all about Anna asking questions...very little action to speak of. That only happens toward the very end, when things finally heat up and we get a clue that maybe Anna's put her nose somewhere where it don't belongs and someone's trying to stop her from asking more questions. But I'll chalk this up to the book being the first in the series -- normally they're never as good as what follows. Kind of dated, but I'd recommend it to people who read UK Crime fiction and who have maybe missed this one. Not a cozy, by any stretch, but it's also not a police procedural. Overall -- not bad, not great, just average.

July saw the much fan-fared launch of Cuil (pronounced cool), which so far, to many in the industry, hasn't quite lived up to the hype.
Billed as a potential Google killer and dubbed the "world's biggest search engine", the initial response has been lukewarm, with mixed reviews from many of the industry.
It certainly didn't help that the site went down shortly after launch and that general first impressions certainly haven't put Cuil in the same league as Google (or Yahoo and MSN for that matter).
Mike Moran of Search Engine Guide said:
"Each of Google's competitors over the years has claimed that it had a better search engine than Google at one time or another. No one listened, because Google is perfectly good, thank you. The next real battle for Google will be fought on higher ground than just search. Perhaps someone will buy Cuil to mount that attack on Google, but don't expect the battle to be won by Cuil itself".
Speaking to Time, Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land added:
"Anybody who thought [Cuil] was this Google killer can really see now that no, that's not going to happen today - and the likelihood is that's not going to happen a year from now."
Judging Cuil this early on is a bit unfair, and I will personally reserve judgement for a bit yet. However, there is no doubt that there is still room for improvement if Cuil wants to become a dominant force in search.
This begs the question; who will be able to achieve sufficient success in the search marketplace to compete against Google?
The other big three - Yahoo/MSN/Ask
There has been a lot of talk regarding the possible merger between Yahoo and Microsoft; a move that would certainly change the current search landscape.
However, it would only scratch the surface of search ownership (given that recent search statistics suggest Google has up to 87% of UK users utilising its technologies at present). With new entrants to the marketplace, such as Cuil, I imagine the space that MSN and Yahoo currently occupy is going to become more and more congested.
Ask recently carried out a significant shake-up in the way it presents its search index, supported by a fairly significant TV budget. However this seems to have done little to change its current position within the UK search hierarchy. It is therefore unlikely to pick up any more than just token wins now or in the foreseeable future.
The advent of Web 2.0 search engines
With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies, there are a number of engines providing some innovative solutions. These include engines like Searchme (which provides enhanced flash stacks of its search results); Mnemomap (which provides a more interactive SERP overview); and Quintura (a visual search engine which has received some significant funding over recent years).
While these search engines provide a glimpse of what potentially could be the future of search, there is still little pickup for such services, with traditional search services and social media still pretty much dominating the search landscape.
The rise of the vertical specific search engine and social media
Social media in particular has seen a meteoric rise in popularity over recent years. Sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Bebo have seen millions of subscribers join their ranks. These social networks have become a place for people to find information; a function that was previously been the sole domain of the search engines. For example:
- Linkedin – the business network allows people to find other people within the same company, job, location, interests etc.
- MySpace – which is currently reinventing itself as a primary source for music.
- SkyScanner – gives users the ability to compare flights.
- Moneysupermarket – the price comparison website allows easy comparison of financial information.
- And finally, Facebook – potentially this could throw a couple of cats among the pigeons, not least due to a deal which will integrate MSN Live as Facebook's search engine results provider (an interesting deal, which may be worth keeping an eye on).
Vertical specific search engines are also thriving in the current climate, such as:
- Rightmove in property.
- Monster in jobs.
While these are not strictly search engines in the traditional sense of the word, they do provide users with more specialised levels of search, and become primary points for such searches, rather than secondary search mechanisms. Thus reducing the initial requirement for the search engine to 'refine' the search, and prequalify the browser.
There are also a number of very innovative sites such as Everyscape.com, which could still further steal traffic away from secondary competitors such as Yell.com.
This is a site the head of search at Mediavest, Jon Myers has raved about - and rightly so in my opinion. Very much like Google StreetMaps in its functionality, it has taken a step further and allows users to even step INSIDE the buildings and get a real feel for a place before they even visit it, as well as offering the ability to advertise within it. This is Web 2.0 being utilised well in my opinion, and is certainly a benchmark for the likes of Yell and Google Local to aspire to.
Are there any other potential competitors?
There has been a number of other smaller launches over the course of the last year, including Mahalo, the "world's first human powered search engine".
However, none of these are quite in a position (as yet) to effectively compete against the current monopoly Google enjoys. In my opinion, Google's biggest threat may not come from such sources and may indeed, come from further afield.
One of the sessions at SES London discussed just such an issue, with two of the panel suggesting Baidu may provide the biggest test to Google's monopoly. Baidu enjoys primary market share in China, with 69.5%, and dwarfs Google's market share of 23%. Only time will tell…
So what for Google?
Criticism that can never be aimed at Google is that it suffers from at lack of innovation.
Over the last couple of years, Google has trialled a number of new services, including; Click to Call, Google Checkout and more recently, Merchant Search. This, alongside more technological advances such as personal and localised search services, have only served to enhance and further establish Google as the primary search vehicle for much of the Western Hemisphere.
Such innovation can only serve to keep Google at the forefront of the industry, but like many organisations before it, Google's time at the pinnacle of the industry will eventually come to the end. My personal thoughts are that this is not going to happen for a good few years yet.

Although it's a general recommendation to have a clustered index on a table, not every application is following this guidance. Since heap tables can't be defragged or can't get rid of forwarded records, use this script to determine potential problems. I developed this script after we had some serious problems with a heap table.
Tables with a high fragmentation/ forwarded record count or ghost record count can be fixed by either creating a clustered index or do the traditional export-truncate-import (make sure you're aware of the consequences of these actions!)
Note: By running this script your "page life expectancy" will drop significantly (due to the dm_db_index_physical_stats usage)
New version: added parameter for tablename criteria. Output by RAISERROR instead of PRINT

Zac Efron and Lily Collins |
The pair - who briefly dated in 2012 - have sparked rumors they have rekindled their romance after they were spotted holding hands while wandering around the grounds of Disneyland in Los Angeles.
The duo were said to have been in a casual relationship last year, but split after just three months as neither of them were particularly serious about each other and they wanted to focus on their careers.
A source said previously: "It's true that their schedules are crazy right now, which isn't conducive to a relationship being easy."
The 26-year-old actor - who entered rehab earlier this year for alcohol and cocaine abuse - was spotted getting cosy with his 'Hairspray' co-star Brittany Snow at the beginning of the month, but admitted he has been surrounding himself with women to help him forget about his troubles.
However, Zac claimed last year that he struggles going out on dates with people as he finds it "awkward" and would rather do something more spontaneous.
He explained: "Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that. Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason. I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity."

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Herb Kohl
United States Senator STATEMENT OF SENATOR HERB KOHL Good afternoon. Today we examine consolidation in the health insurance market, specifically a merger of the two largest health insurers in Pennsylvania, Highmark and Independence Blue Cross. We are holding this hearing at the specific request of my colleague for whom I have the highest regard, Senator Specter. As this merger most directly impacts Pennsylvania residents, I have asked him to preside over today's hearing. After the merger, these two insurers' combined market share in Pennsylvania is estimated to be more than 70 percent. Allowing a single health insurer to gain such a high market share in Pennsylvania obviously raises significant competition concerns for the citizens of that commonwealth - especially since these two companies apparently agreed not to compete a decade ago. But it is also important that we consider competition in health insurance across the country. As health care costs continue to rise, consumers face ever increasing premiums. At the same time, we hear complaints from physicians and hospitals of declining reimbursement and "take it or leave it" contracts that negatively affect patient care. New competitors face high barriers to entry, so allowing high levels of concentration can have serious and lasting effects for many years to come. And the statistics point to substantial evidence of rising consolidation in an already highly concentrated health insurance market. In 299 of the 313 metropolitan areas studied by the American Medical Association last year, health insurance was a highly concentrated industry under Justice Department guidelines. The number of health insurers nationwide have fallen by 20% since 2000. And this has clearly contributed to rising insurance rates. The AMA study found insurance rates were 12 percent lower in states with more competitive choices. The burden of ever rising insurance rates is borne particularly heavily by small businesses, who find it increasingly difficult to offer health insurance for their employees. And the problems of increasing concentration is compounded by the failure of the Justice Department to enforce the antitrust law in this industry. According to the 2007 AMA study, in the last 12 years, out of 400 health insurance mergers, the Justice Department challenged only two. Vigorous competition in health insurance is essential to lowering health insurance premiums for consumers, and for businesses, and to assuring adequate payments to health care providers. We on the Antitrust Subcommittee will pay close attention to competition in health insurance markets in the months ahead. We will consider holding hearings on health insurance competition at the national level, and plan to ask the GAO to study the impact of consolidation on rising health insurance prices. For all these reasons, today's hearing is a particularly relevant for our Subcommittee, and I thank Senator Specter for his work on this important issue. I now turn over the gavel to Senator Specter to preside at this hearing. |

Posted Saturday December 21, 2013, About: USA Hockey mulls fighting ban at all amateur levels
For all the "thug" labels applied to Black NFL, MLB, and NBA players when things get physical, I am amazed that hockey continues to get a pass. Fighting does not add to the game, and the increase in felonious on ice assaults continue to go largely ignored by the masses. But anytime there's a dustup during a heated NBA game, "it's the thugs, gang members, et. Al, ruining the sport". Fans, both White and Black decry that "they" are ruining the sport, while ignoring the past and present of ice hockey, which is completely watchable and enjoyable without the fights.

Why do I somehow feel these fighters are underpaid? Has boxing gotten me spoiled to the fact of $25 million paydays? Perhaps. However, the cheapest tickets to the Silva-Weidman fight are $100, and that's in the nosebleeds. IDK, methinks they deserve a raise.

Posted Monday May 06, 2013, About: Self mum on damaging McLemore report
Once again, David Stern is to blame for this. If the age restrictions didn't exist in the NBA, guys who never had intentions on going to college after high school would just jump right to the league. The age restriction hasn't helped the NBA in a single way, but it's damaging the college game severely. It would make more sense to impose a rule that only allows for sophomores and up to go pro, else anyone could make the leap straight from high school, regardless of age. Also, I guess I just don't get it. Why demonize people who want to get paid for their talents? You rarely ever hear about anyone rigging college game (think the plot of Blue Chips), so to attempt to prevent anyone, other than the hypocritical NCAA, from cashing in on the talents of athletes is a foolish pursuit. Destroy the atmosphere of people sneaking around doing things, and allow schools to pursue student-athletes with money and everything else at their disposal. There are plenty of endowed colleges that have terrible sports programs, so there is no advantage for the household names like Ohio State, UNC, Alabama, et. Al. This ridiculous notion that the amateur status of college sports is somehow solemn or noble is a farce. It's been about money since the first TV deal was signed. Why is always all right for someone up high to get wealthy, but not the people who are actually producing the product?
Posted Monday May 06, 2013, About: Self mum on damaging McLemore report
Unless you just felt like stating the obvious, of course the athletes will be punished. And don't get so high minded off the rules, because the rule makers are making billions of college kids but trying to ruin schools and careers if the kid gets a free chicken sandwich.
Posted Tuesday February 05, 2013, About: Dana White: Rashad Evans 'lost that hunger'
He's not lying. Evans and Rampage both seem nothing like the guys there were just a few years back when they were opposing coaches on TUF! Even though Evans appeared to be surging then and Jackson was already a shell of his former Pride self, both still appeared to have plenty in the tank. I'm upset to watch either of them fight now.
Posted Tuesday February 05, 2013, About: Flacco heading toward $100M payday
What is mystifying to me is how fans of the game, much less the commentators and the like, can question effort, knowing full well that a misstep here or there can make all the difference. Joe Flacco is talented and after 5 seasons, it's time to stop questioning his ability. How many times has he missed the postseason? How many postseason wins does he have? Inconsistency in the regular season, if you can even call it that, means nothing in the postseason. By that logic, VCU's Final Four appearance a few years back should be invalidated because they didn't knock off enough top ranked schools. Let's do this: let's start congratulating people who win, and let's agree that, regardless of the length or dollar amount of his future contract, he gets paid to win in the NFL and he has done so consistently for five years.

The Ravens have been good pretty much most of the past decade.....what, were you judgemental types holed up at Republican Summer Camp? Get over it! Ray Lewis is who he is; you hating on him is not going to change anything!!! If you had your way, my kind would still be, unapologetically, treated like 2nd class citizens. It's ironic, the Patriots cheated but no one ever talks about that.
Posted Saturday February 02, 2013, About: Victor Cruz hasn't ruled out a Giants holdout
I love how, even in 2013, this is still even an issue! CLEARLY the most potent weapon they have on either side of the ball not named Eli! Run that money New York, or ship him to Dallas or Carolina; it'd please me in either state!
Posted Tuesday January 22, 2013, About: Welker's wife issues Ray Lewis an apology
I'm consistently amazed by the hypocrisy of people. Ray Lewis said nothing negative about Welker, his family or the Patriots in general. Yet, the wife of a losing player, decides to go on Facebook and vent misinformation for what? Then, the apology is released through some third party? How about you return back to your Facebook page and admit that you had a lapse in judgement? This is just another valid reason for people to root against New England. Furthermore, for her and people like her that thinks the Black athlete deserved prison from a crime of which he was acquitted, why do you always think people accused of crimes are guilty? Why do you all get off on play judge, jury and executioner? When things happen to you, you want mercy, but the rules don't apply to others? Or just rich, famous people? Or is there some other nefarious reason? The legal system is fine as long as everyone ever tried for a crime is guilty, but no hope for the innocent? Check yourselves, you are a den of vipers, and the Interwebs is your rotting carcass of a home.
Posted Monday January 21, 2013, About: Suggs blasts 'arrogant [expletive]' Pats
It's funny how you dudes are again trying to diss someone instead of realizing the truth of what he's saying. In what world is Suggs a punk? Why is it when a man speaks his mind, you throw him under the bus, but then scream "People need to be more honest"? Hypocrisy and cynicism at its finest! Anywho, he was spot on correct, and echoes my recent Facebook posts. IT's funny, of you who disagreed with Suggs and/or tried to call him a punk (where do you get the b.a.ll.s to do that), how many of you have that same animosity to Bill Bel-a-chick and snubbing post game interviews? Exactly.
Posted Friday December 21, 2012, About: Jets explore parting with both Tebow and Sanchez
That's my main beef. I can see if he played and sucked, but he's no worse than all these other also rans who got better contracts only to suck up the scene: Flynn, Kolb, Cassel, et. Al. Tebow's gotten a raw deal, and it's funny, it's not because of anything HE did! There is no evil comment they can tie to him, and frustrating as his play is to some, he's a winner on the field. People just don't like him because of him.....wish more people would just admit they don't like the man and use his so-called "lack of mechanics" as the excuse.
Posted Friday December 21, 2012, About: Faried's Blazers grudge: 'I don't like them'
IT's Portland's loss.
Posted Wednesday December 19, 2012, About: Tebow will ask to be moved
How is it consistently ignorned that he has a winning record as a QB, and has a playoff win to his credit? New England was on fire going into that game, but had it been anyone else, I'm thinking Denver could've pulled out the win. If Tebow had tons of INTs (the tons of fumbles is because the guy clearly loves to run and isn't scared of being hit) I would understand the hate more. But he won in Denver when their season was DEAD IN THE WATER when he took over! I wish that the league and the fanboys could get off this teet of wanting the protoypical QB! This must be why Delhomme, Kolb and Orton have so many games played to their credit: is doesn't matter if you're any good at QB, just as long as you look and act the part.
Posted Wednesday November 21, 2012, About: Rivers: 'No idea' what record Rondo's chasing
1) I'm surprised I'm just now hearing about the streak. 2) I hope this can FINALLY put to bed the smack talk on Rondo not being an elite point guard. You may not like Boston, but clearly this man is one of the top guards in the league today.

To get started, please see the steps we've laid out below.
Step #1 - Review topics at www.sbtdc.org/technology/newsletter/12-05/dod-solicitation-topics-042812.pdf. This will give you a good idea of what DoD's current interests are.
Step #2 – Refine your search at www.dodsbir.net/Topics/CusTopicsSearch.asp. Be sure to conduct a search on EACH of the key words separately, or use the search tips at www.dodsbir.net/Topics/TopicsSearchScoop.htm if inputting multiple words.
Step #3 – Communication: Once a solicitation is identified, you are strongly encouraged to call and discuss your proposed project with the Topic Author. You have until May 23rd to communicate directly with him/her. After May 23rd, for reasons of competitive fairness, direct communication between proposers and topic authors is not allowed when DoD begins accepting proposals for each solicitation.
However, proposers may still submit written questions about solicitation topics through the SBIR/STTR Interactive Topic Information System (SITIS), in which the questioner and respondent remain anonymous and all questions and answers are posted electronically for general viewing until the solicitation closes. All proposers are advised to monitor SITIS during the solicitation period for questions and answers, and other significant information, relevant to the SBIR/STTR topic under which they are proposing.
Step #4 – Presentation: Review the presentation at www.sbtdc.org/technology/newsletter/12-05/dod-overview.ppt presented by Nicole Fox of the Army Research Office. It provides a clear overview of the DoD SBIR program.

About the School of Health Sciences
Winston-Salem State University
WSSU is a premier regional institution that consistently ranks among the best public universities in the South. Our programs provide flexibility to accommodate diverse life situations ranging from recent graduates to working adults and prepare you to employ the latest technologies as powerful tools for continuous learning, career advancement and personal enrichment. Our faculty and student learning environment develops skills, values, and a commitment to community service needed to contribute and succeed in the changing economy of the 21st Century. Our motto is "Enter to Learn – Depart to Serve."
School of Health Sciences
The School of Health Sciences offers state-of-the art curriculum, using the latest technology and teaching methods, as well as extensive clinical experience, to develop the world-class skills required for success in today's changing health care industry. Our programs produce highly educated, motivated, clinical experts and culturally competent graduates who improve the health and well being of individuals, families, organizations, and communities.
Division of Nursing
The Division of Nursing provides professional nursing education that prepares baccalaureate registered nurses and advanced practice nurses. Our programs recognize prior learning and embrace diverse student populations representing a variety of cultural backgrounds, life experiences, and health care skills. Curricula provide experiences that provide effective communication and critical thinking used while executing therapeutic intervention, health promotion, disease prevention, and evidence-based practice strategies.
Clinical Experiences
Through the "immersion method" of teaching, MSN - FNP students are heavily involved in clinical activities, interacting directly with patients and learning to provide services. From virtually the first day of enrollment, students spend approximately 50 percent of the academic time in a clinical setting. As the curriculum progresses, clinical activities advance from delivering basic services to developing and managing comprehensive patient care plans.
The primary forum for these invaluable, real-world learning experiences – and a major contribution made by WSSU – is the academic skills laboratory managed by the School of Health Sciences. At SOHS's two neighborhood skills labs located around the city, students learn to promote holistic health among a patient population that otherwise would not have access to basic services.
MSN – ANE students are prepared to educate future nurses who are clinically competent professionals while nurturing the values of compassion and commitment to patient service in every student. Students will be equipped to work closely with students in both classroom and clinical settings, serving as role models in demonstrating both technical proficiency and compassionate values.
MSN students, whether ANE or FNP, form bonds with the communities and people they serve. They develop commitment to the mission of education and the delivery of health services to all people in need.

Book Description:Principles of Anatomy and Physiology is designed to help students develop a basic understanding of the concepts of anatomy and physiology without overwhelming them with chatty anecdotes or in-depth coverage that may be too detailed for their needs. The Tate text features realistic and beautifully rendered figures, clear, straight-forward writing, and an emphasis on clinical material. So how is this new textbook different? Explanations have just the right amount of detail, and therefore are shorter, with usually only one example instead of two or three; there are less boxed readings; other texts use several complex figures to illustrate many concepts—Tate uses less, but more efficient, art. The result is a shorter, simplified textbook that covers all of the major points found in more lengthy texts, but is easier to read and more economical in price.

- Steve Jobs at Apple: A retrospective (pictures)
Steve Jobs at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in June 2008.
From his 1995 oral history interview with the Smithsonian Institution: "I grew up in Silicon Valley. My parents moved from San Francisco to Mountain View when I was five. My dad got transferred and that was right in the heart of Silicon Valley so there were engineers all around. Silicon Valley for the most part at that time was still orchards--apricot orchards and prune orchards--and it was really paradise. I remember the air being crystal clear, where you could see from one end of the valley to the other...It was really the most wonderful place in the world to grow up."

Wiki Headlines 6th Mar: There is an option now on your profile page to use "compact" folders. This works pretty well for phone users and others who like less scrolling.
Laconic Main PlayingWith main index Narrative
This kid has barely started puberty, but acts as if always preoccupied with responsibility. He (or she) works hard at whatever he does and treats things seriously, but every once in a while he does indeed act like a kid (and hates the subsequent teasing). Usually not taken too seriously by anyone and hates being treated like a kid by adults, even if they secretly like the attention.
Often his family situation is problematic, although he may have a big sister or brother he respects and admires. Said sibling may not appear (letting the audience take that role) and the Adorably Precocious Child can attach to the closest adult who lets him — this is especially common if he's also a Mouthy Kid. Sometimes this works in reverse, and the adult character may have to defend himself against unwholesome comments by other characters by insisting they're Like Brother and Sister, or, alternately, Older than They Look.
Compare Cheerful Child, Innocent Prodigy, and Wise Beyond Their Years. Sometimes also a Token Mini-Moe.

Mexican Bakers Go Big To Celebrate 3 Kings Day
By editor
Originally published on Fri January 4, 2013 7:46 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene. At this point in the program we sometimes tell you about record-breaking feats. Well, this one takes the cake. Sunday is Three Kings Day and in Mexico some bakers are celebrating in a big way. Rosca de Reyes is a sweet bread with a Baby Jesus figurine baked inside.
This version will weigh 10 tons, and the cake's border will stretch nearly a mile. A mile. Tradition says the person who gets the slice with the plastic Jesus has to host a party. Hope it's a big house. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

California man finds shelter from the storm
It took Californian Mario Landeros over seven months and 1800 miles, but now he knows what real Southern hospitality looks like.
Last Tuesday, January 15, Landeros was warming up and using the Blue & White Restaurant's wi fi connection, when Tunica Humane Society director Sandy Williams stopped in for a food order.
"I saw Landeros' cart out front and the sign on it that reads 'Walking across America for St. Jude,' so I went up and introduced myself," Williams said.
Landeros, pushing a cart across America to raise funds for St. Jude, landed in the restaurant on the worst weather night so far this winter. Sleet and freezing rain began pelting Landeros as he made his way west from Coldwater, MS and into Tunica County via Prichard Road.

About Torch7
Torch7 is a scientific computing framework with wide support for machine learning algorithms. It is easy to use and provides a very efficient implementation, thanks to an easy and fast scripting language, LuaJIT, and an underlying C implementation.
Among other things, it provides:- a powerful N-dimensional array
- lots of routines for indexing, slicing, transposing, ...
- amazing interface to C, via LuaJIT
- linear algebra routines
- neural network, and energy-based models
- numeric optimization routines
- ...
Mailing List
If you have questions or need support, use our mailing list:
The easiest way to install Torch is to run these two commands:
$ curl -sk https://raw.github.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-deps | bash
$ curl -sk https://raw.github.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-luajit+torch | bash
The first script installs basic dependencies / libraries that LuaJIT and Torch require. The second script installs LuaJIT, Luarocks, and then uses Luarocks to install Torch and a few common/useful packages. These scripts work on Ubuntu >= 12.04 and OSX >= 10.8.
You can look at them to see exactly what they do: dependency script and luajit+torch+extra script.
Torch, and all its related packages, are now distributed as simple Luarocks packages. It only requires LuaJIT (>= 2.0) and Luarocks (>= 2.0.12) :
If you install Luajit and Luarocks yourself, you'll have to specify the URL to our rock server, to find Torch. We recommend you either use the script above to automate that process.
$ luajit --version
Luarocks 2.0.12
$ luajit -v
LuaJIT 2.0.2 -- Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Mike Pall. http://luajit.org/
$ luarocks --server=https://raw.github.com/torch/rocks/master install torch

It's hard for me to say that they sold out considering I only started listening to them when they were played on MTV (Sing the Sorrow, I couldn't get enough of "The Leaving Song Pt 2" after the first time I heard it.) I actually enjoy Decemberunderground, never got too into Crash Love, although the music wasn't bad...and probably a year before Decemberunderground came out, I started listening to AFI's previous albums and got really into them. I guess I can understand if people think they sold out, but I like almost all of their music so it doesn't really matter to me if they sold out or not.
As far as Green Day goes, I'm just curious as to what point in their career they were considered a sellout. Was it when they released American Idiot? ...or maybe Nimrod (with "Good Riddance") ...or maybe even when Dookie was released?
Tom Petty after 1979. Curse you Jimmy Iovine
Here is a question:
How many of us have "sold out" as fans? How many of us now listen to, or accept as "cool", music that our younger selves would have rejected?
For myself I know I now listen to stuff from time to time that my younger self would have hated and would have thought sucked. But I don't think that I sold out, I just allowed myself to like other types of music. Don't get me wrong, there is still plenty of stuff that I still think sucks like I did when I was younger, but I came to point when I realized that I was becoming a "harder-core-than-thou" guy and thought "why limit myself?" Why hate a band or type of music simply because it is not in a certain genre? Give it chance. And sure, a lot of music I still hate, but for some other music I found it was not as horrible as I once thought.
We were talking about this at work the other day, though the conversation focused on Metallica and Black-Eyed Peas specifically.
I also would submit The Knack and Sugar Ray. ha
I remember Adam and the Ants used to be the most cool, obscure, underground band ever. All the hardcore punkers were into their early singles, then suddenly they did the pirate thing then Adam went solo and completely turned commercial. I pity those early punkers with Adam Ant tattoos.

Some are better than others, but yes, for the most part they are good fats. Eat up.
Some are better than others, but yes, for the most part they are good fats. Eat up.
I am not sure fully, but I think sunflower is better over than peanuts. But like Rpen22 mentioned, both are fine.
Nice cause I found some on the hells cheap side and am going to add them in my diet as a snack. 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds is like 190 cals, 4g carbs, and 18g of fat I believe. Good to have these around for $1 for 9 servings. They are already shelled too so you can just eat them by the handful after measurement.
Sunflower seeds are soooo much better for you than peanuts, if you like peanut butter try getting almond butter, its definetly a lot better for you.
Look at merely the thread title - I expected this thread to go in a completely different direction...
Now that I see this is in the nutrition forum - I feel a bit better.
my nuts are pretty fat...
wait, this is not what its about is it...
Sunflower seeds are good, peanut are okay (the fat is not too bad but there's lots of other good things about peanuts), Almonds are the bomb as the fat in them helps control insulin spikes. Cashews are delicous but useless.
I've never considered almond butter. How's the taste and where can you get it or do I have to make it? I found some recipes online but I'm wondering if I can simply buy it at the grocery store. None of the grocery store sites I searched turned up anything. If I have to make it do you have any recipe suggestions?
You can buy it at the store. Grocery stores often have it in their naturals section, but if they don't, you may have to go to a natural foods store, who will be almost guaranteed to have it. It's usually more expensive than natural peanut butter, but not by alot.
As for the taste, those that like it, love it. Most people I know do like it, but it's really not my cup of tea.
Almond butter definitely tastes good IMO.
Peanuts are actually a bean (or a comic strip by Charles Schulz). Carry on.
Hey sinner, you posted a recipe for making your own natural peanut butter. You think the same thing would work for making your own almond butter? I don't see why not.
I've done it with almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and cashews as well. Works great.
With almonds, you will want to get slivered or sliced almonds. Whole almonds are just too damn big and they won't break down in the blender.
Where can I find the recipe?
Here you go:

The Nassau Hurricane Recovery Fund is accepting applications from county residents not entitled to Sandy-related financial reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, who do not have homeowners or flood insurance, and who are not receiving assistance from another government relief program, County Executive Edward Mangano announced Thursday.
He said the fund was created in late November to help some of the neediest Nassau victims of superstorm Sandy.
"It is incumbent upon our community to do all we can to aid residents in their recovery and rebuilding efforts," he said.
Mangano said a new website — https://apps.nassaucountyny.gov/recoveryfund — has been launched to help disseminate application forms to Sandy victims and to further solicit donations from those interested in helping county residents who continue to struggle from storm damage.
Contributions can be made to: The Nassau Hurricane Recovery Fund, c/o Nassau County Police Department, Room 216, 1490 Franklin Ave., Mineola, NY 11501.
Small businesses are eligible for free sales tax exemptions of up to $99,000 through Nassau County's Local Enterprise Assistance and Development Services. The exemptions may be used on purchases of building supplies and equipment to rebuild.
Small-business owners who suffered storm damage are encouraged to call the Nassau County Economic Recovery Task Force hotline at 516-571-1745, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit nassaubackinbusiness.org.

Voices From Haiti
The Haitian Times, a community newspaper based in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn, has been on the ground covering the earthquake in Haiti for several days now.
As fellow members of the New York Press Association, Our Town and West Side Spirit are posting some of the work that Haitian Times publisher Garry Pierre-Pierre and colleagues have pulled together under incredible circumstances.
Michelle Rea, executive director of the New York Press Association, reports that the group flew into the Dominican Republic because air traffic into Haiti was restricted to rescue missions. They initially community via rented van between Port-au-Prince and the Dominican Republic. As they traveled, people were throwing themselves in front of the vehicle or jumping out and pounding on it to stop, begging for help, food and water.
Since then, the Brooklyn contingency has apparently been staying with other journalists in Haiti at the Hotel Villa Creole, where a bureau chief has established Internet access for all journalists.
Below are two articles filed from Port-au-Prince during the past few days. We'll continue posting Pierre-Pierre's work, giving readers a first-hand look at how Haitians have been dealing with the aftermath of this massive natural disaster.

PHOTOS: In Washington, A Historic Day; Gay Marriage, Marijuana Are Legal
By editor
Originally published on Thu December 6, 2012 5:26 pm
History was made at midnight in Washington on two fronts last night: Bans on both gay marriage and recreational marijuana use were lifted.
As you might expect, as the sun set and the clock struck 12, there were scenes of celebration across the state's biggest city. The pictures tell the story, so with that here are five photographs from Seattle.

Prosecutions in Sonoma County down 12%
Published: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 4:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 4:26 p.m.
Fewer people faced prosecution in Sonoma County in the past year despite a reported uptick in certain kinds of crimes, possibly an indication that law enforcement is becoming more selective about expending resources in tough budget times.
During the one-year period ending Sept. 30, the District Attorney's Office filed 14,195 cases, down from 16,743 cases the year before. That's a decrease of more than 12 percent.
At the same time, the county's police agencies referred 21,360 cases to prosecutors for formal charging compared to 22,667 the year before — a reduction of nearly 6 percent.
Christine Cook, assistant district attorney, said the declines are due in part to cuts to the number of deputy prosecutors and police on the streets. She said her office is down 14 employees since 2009. The Sheriff's Office reports it lost 32 deputy positions in three years.
But Cook said the numbers also may reflect cost-saving efforts. Prosecutors are signing off on diversionary programs rather than charging minor crimes that take jail space.
If someone on probation for being drunk in public commits the same crime again, they'll be released on a violation of probation rather than being charged with a new crime, Cook said.
"I think it is safe to say we're trending toward more diversion," Cook said. "As a result of realignment we're considering how best to be efficient while seeking justice," a reference to the state's decision to send some offenders to county jurisdiction rather than to state prison or parole status.
Defense lawyers said prosecutors appear more careful about cases they pursue so they don't risk dismissals.
"They are definitely being more discriminating in what they file," Santa Rosa attorney Steve Turer said.
Cook said it was "tighter filing standards" and a focus on more pressing issues such as gang violence and elder protection under District Attorney Jill Ravitch, who was elected in 2010.
"She's been emphasizing since the day she took office that she wants us to seek justice and that cases should be provable," Cook said.
Cook did not provide a breakdown of felony and misdemeanor cases. Also, she did not release conviction rate information covering the period since Ravitch was elected. She said that has been delayed by a backlog of requests to the court and problems validating accuracy of the data.
"We don't have statistics on outcomes," Cook said. "But our attorneys are doing a lot of great work."
Turer said the office is reluctant to share conviction statistics because they might show convictions are down.
Meanwhile, the decline in the number of charges filed comes as property crime increases in Santa Rosa and the unincorporated county and violent rises in some areas.
In the first six months of this year, property crime was up in the county by 18 percent and violent crime rose by 19 percent, Sheriff Steve Freitas said.
In Santa Rosa this year, violent crime decreased for the first eight months but property crime was up, police Chief Tom Schwedhelm said.
He did not have exact figures.
Freitas said fewer deputies are available to handle calls and initiate their own investigations. As a result, fewer cases are referred to the district attorney, he said.
"I have less cops so we're doing less proactive stuff," Freitas said. "It's less people out there to get drunk drivers."

Definition of charcoal biscuit in English:
charcoal biscuit
Line breaks: char|coal bis|cuitnoun
- A biscuit containing wood charcoal to aid digestion.More example sentences
- Other starters included smoked salmon pate with citrus coulis and charcoal biscuits or brown bread for €8.50; and a very well priced half dozen of fresh Kilkee Atlantic oysters, served with brown bread for €10.
- Miss Meldrum always ate charcoal biscuits in the afternoon - they looked rather like black dog biscuits, but I never understood what they were for.
- Charcoal grills take lot longer to cool as you must wait for the burnt charcoal biscuits to completely cool before removing them, and doing this is a messy proposition.

iPad's secret weapon: Marvel Comics?
February 1, 2010: 4:18 PM ETNow that we've all seen the iPad and debated its design merits, let's cut to the chase: This thing will rise or fall on content. If Steve Jobs can get a bunch of cool books and apps on the thing, we'll want one. If not, we won't.
Where will His Steveness get some of those books? I say the same place he's gotten so many movies and TV shows for iTunes in the past: Disney (DIS).
When Jobs needed movies for iTunes, Apple (AAPL) got them from Disney. When he needed TV shows? Disney (which owns ABC) was among the first to sign up. Why all the Disney love? Remember, Steve Jobs was the CEO of Pixar, which had a very lucrative movie distribution deal with Disney. Things only got cozier in 2006, when Disney bought Pixar for $7.4 billion, turning Jobs into the Mouse House's largest individual shareholder.
But wait, you say. Disney isn't exactly a major book publisher.
Oh, yes it is. Disney just bought Marvel, remember?
With Marvel comes Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, and all manner of other classic superheroes. Lately, much of the value from those characters has come through movies and TV. It's easy to forget that these characters first came to life through full-color artwork on the printed page – a format that never translated very well to the digital realm.
Until the iPad, that is. The iPad will be the first mainstream computing device with the interface, the power, the battery, and the gorgeous color screen to truly bring comic books to life. And Apple already knows how to do it – they did a test run with Tyrese Gibson's Mayhem book, a project that I guessed back in September was a precursor to Apple's e-book format. It wouldn't be too hard to bring new comics – and all sorts of old classic titles – into the digital realm in brilliant color. The iPad's screen was practically made for it.
By bringing comics and graphic novels to the iPad, Apple will not only attract a loyal geek fan base that loves the medium. It will also offer an experience that Amazon (AMZN), Sony (SNE) and others in the e-ink e-book crowd can't even approximate: Immersive graphics, in full color. Excelsior!

Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2010
Comments, questions and tips
One of the nicest spaghetti dishes I've had, I used a little ham stock cube to season, a little white wine at start instead of the water, plenty of pepper and just a pinch if salt, left out the mushroom's and basil, if you wanted a herb I would personally go with thyme as suggested would be nicer than basil. I also only used one good sized clove off garlic, leave it out if you don't like garlic will be just as nice. I think it was the ham stock that made it so nice. Was better than what you could buy in most restraunts.
