12 U.S. Code § 60 - National bank dividends
(a) In general
Subject to subsection (b), the directors of any national bank may declare a dividend of so much of the undivided profits of the bank as the directors judge to be expedient.

A national bank may not declare and pay dividends in any year in excess of an amount equal to the sum of the total of the net income of the bank for that year and the retained net income of the bank for the preceding 2 years, minus the sum of any transfers required by the Comptroller of the Currency and any transfers required to be made to a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock, unless the Comptroller of the Currency approves the declaration and payment of dividends in excess of such amount.

School might be out for the summer, but there's still a chance for students to head back to class...just on a different campus...
For the first time in about a decade, Chipola College is bringing back their Kidz College Summer program.
Chipola Ccollege's Continuing Education Department and Future Educators Club will host the summer program for the next couple of weeks.
Coordinator of Extended Learning and Professional Development, Alicia Hatcher, says these sessions will teach kids reading and writing skills through an interactive creative approach.
"Going to school in the Summer doesn't sound like a lot of fun but going to college in the summer sounds a little bit cooler," said Hatcher. "So we wanted to make this something that would be fun, we want them to enjoy it, and want to come back and do with next couple of years."
For more information on the two sessions and to register, click here. The deadline to register for Session 1 (June 14 - 17) has been extended to June 13.

FACTIVE is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the conditions listed below.
Acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, or Moraxella catarrhalis.
Community-acquired pneumonia (of mild to moderate severity) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (including multi-drug resistant strains [MDRSP])*, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, or Klebsiella pneumoniae.
*MDRSP: multi-drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, includes isolates previously known as PRSP (penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae), and are strains resistant to two or more of the following antibiotics: penicillin (MIC ≥2 μ/mL), 2nd generation cephalosporins (e.g., cefuroxime), macrolides, tetracyclines and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of FACTIVE and other antibacterial drugs, FACTIVE should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
WARNING: Fluoroquinolones, including FACTIVE, are associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture in all ages. This risk is further increased in older patients usually over 60 years of age, in patients taking corticosteroid drugs, and in patients with kidney, heart or lung transplants.
Fluoroquinolones, including FACTIVE, may exacerbate muscle weakness in persons with myasthenia gravis. Avoid FACTIVE in patients with known history of myasthenia gravis.
Tendon rupture can occur during or after completion of therapy. FACTIVE should be discontinued if the patient experiences pain, swelling, inflammation, or rupture of a tendon.
FACTIVE is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to gemifloxacin, fluoroquinolone antibiotic agents, or any of the product components. Serious hypersensitivity and/or anaphylactic reactions have been reported in patients receiving fluoroquinolone therapy, including FACTIVE. Hypersensitivity reactions reported in patients receiving fluoroquinolone therapy have occasionally been fatal. These reactions may include serious, sometimes fatal skin reactions such as toxic epidermal necrolysis or Stevens-Johnson Syndrome; effects on the liver, including hepatitis, jaundice, and acute hepatic necrosis or failure; renal toxicities including interstitial nephritis and/or acute renal insufficiency or failure; and hematologic effects, including agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and other hematologic abnormalities. These reactions may occur following the first dose or multiple doses. FACTIVE should be discontinued immediately at the first sign of an immediate type I hypersensitivity skin rash or any other manifestation of hypersensitivity reaction.
Fluoroquinolones may prolong the QT interval in some patients. FACTIVE should be avoided in patients with a history of prolongation of the QTc interval, patients with uncorrected electrolyte disorders (hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia), and patients receiving Class IA or Class III antiarrhythmic agents.
Rare cases of peripheral neuropathy have been reported in patients receiving quinolones.
In clinical studies with FACTIVE, central nervous system (CNS) effects have been reported infrequently. As with other fluoroquinolones, FACTIVE should be used with caution in patients with known or suspected CNS diseases. If CNS reactions occur, FACTIVE should be discontinued and appropriate measures instituted.
Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibiotic agents, including FACTIVE. If diarrhea occurs, evaluate for CDAD and treat appropriately.
In clinical trials, rash occurred more often with FACTIVE than therapy with comparator agents (2.7% vs. 0.6%). Increasing incidence of rash was associated with younger age (especially below 40), female gender, use of hormone replacement therapy, and longer duration of therapy.
Moderate to severe photosensitivity/phototoxicity reactions can be associated with the use of quinolones after sun or UV light exposure. Excessive exposure to the sun or UV light should be avoided.
Magnesium- and/or aluminum-containing antacids, products containing ferrous sulfate (iron), multivitamin preparations containing zinc or other cations, or Videx® (didanosine) chewable/buffered tablets or the pediatric powder for oral solution should not be taken within 3 hours before or 2 hours after FACTIVE. Sucralfate should not be taken within 2 hours of FACTIVE.
In clinical trials, the most common adverse drug reactions (≥2%) were diarrhea, rash, nausea, headache, and abdominal pain.

Faculty Grants Committee
About us
The Faculty grants Committee is responsible for evaluating applications from faculty for internal grant funding at Millersville University to support research, publications, travel to present, special academic activities, and released time.
The committee consists of ten faculty members, who read and individually rank each proposal. Proposals are scored on a 10 point scale and a trimmed mean is computed by eliminating each proposal's highest and lowest score. The committee allocates funding to proposals using a blind review of trimmed mean scores.
General Guidelines
- Eleven (11) copies of each proposal must be submitted to the chair on or before the submission deadline. Alternatively, you can submit an electronic copy (in one pdf file) of ALL of your application materials to email@example.com. Please use double-sided copies whenever possible. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
- Proposals must be typewritten in standard English, avoiding professional jargon. They should be comprehensible to any member of the committee regardless of his or her discipline.
- It is permissible to apply one cycle in advance for activities (e.g., apply in the summer cycle for a fall activity). It is not permissible, however, to apply retroactively (e.g., you may not apply in the fall to fund activities that took place in the summer).
- All activities and/or presentations for the same conferences will be considered under only one academic application and category (e.g. Travel-to-Present or Special Academic Activities), so please use only one application.
- Organizational membership fees will not be paid through Faculty Grants monies. Please do not include such fees in registration requests.
- Temporary, full-time faculty and regular, part-time faculty are eligible to apply for all grant categories except Released-Time.
- Members of the Faculty Grants Committee are eligible to submit proposals for all grant categories but will not evaluate their own proposals or participate in discussions of their proposals.
- Final report forms must be submitted one year from date of award for recipients of research grants, publication grants, and released time grants. (Reports are not necessary for travel grants or special academic activities).
Submission Deadlines

When Molly Hoyt headed to college, she wasn't sure what major to pursue. She only knew that she wanted an experience that was different — and that would make a difference.
She found that experience half a world away in Tanzania.
"What drew me to Africa is how the people always seem happy, no matter what their circumstance. There is something about Africa that was so different from all the other places that you could go," says Hoyt, a University of Maine senior from St. George, Maine, who is majoring in international relations. "I went to Tanzania trying to find what I wanted to do with my life. I found that I love culture and love people."
At UMaine, Hoyt has made Africa the focus of her international relations studies. In addition to her coursework, she studied abroad at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. There her coursework included Swahili.
The seed was planted in high school, where Hoyt was involved in the outdoor-based youth mentoring group Trekkers, based in Tenants Harbor, Maine. Trekkers, which provides educational, experiential and crosscultural learning opportunities for youths, encourages students to explore diverse cultures that are outside their everyday lives.
"Trekkers definitely got me to Tanzania," she says. "It gave me the confidence to just leave the bubble of the small town, to do something that was totally radical and different."
On her first trip to Tanzania in January 2008, Hoyt was a volunteer with the nonprofit organization Cross-Cultural Solutions, teaching English to preschoolers in Bagamoyo. With little knowledge of Africa, Hoyt requested the placement based on the community's location on the coast — like her hometown.
"Just being near the ocean is really close to my heart," she says.
Adjusting to the hot climate and new cultural experiences was toughest in Hoyt's first week in the East African country. But the interaction with the youngsters let her know that she'd found her place.
"They gave me a sense that I made a difference. It was rewarding," says Hoyt, who extended what was to be a three-month stay to six months. "Beyond that, they really liked me."
While in Bagamoyo, Hoyt enjoyed watching youngsters of all ages play her favorite sport — soccer. When a local coach learned that Hoyt had played varsity throughout high school, he asked her to start the first all-girl soccer team. But one of the biggest challenges for the children was the lack of equipment.
"Some of the kids were playing barefoot," she says. "One person that had cleats would share one (shoe) with another kid."
When she returned to the States to pick up her college career at UMaine in fall 2008 (she had spent her first year at Emmanuel College), Hoyt was determined help the young soccer players. She contacted her high school coach to request any donations of used equipment and she started fundraising in her hometown.
"We were able to come up with four boxes of about 200 pounds of soccer equipment," she says. Even a laptop was donated from a school.
During semester break in December 2009, Hoyt delivered the equipment and spent three more weeks in the community.
"(The youngsters) were so excited to have shin guards, cleats and shirts," she says. "They look up to soccer players in their country and they were excited to feel that much more like a real soccer player.
"For me, I was just happy. I feel that I had accomplished something," she says. "I had made a decision a year earlier and I kept a promise."
When she graduates this May, Hoyt plans to return to East Africa, most likely as a Peace Corps volunteer. One day she hopes to work for Invisible Children, a volunteer organization focused on aiding the war-affected children of East Africa, including former child soldiers.

WINDMILL COUNTRY: Sheep, goat shows to take center stage
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The Texas Stars Doe Show today is the forerunner to a week of sheep and goat activities in the Livestock Pavilion at the 80th annual San Angelo Stock Show.
Market Lamb Show entries start arriving Monday from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. The show starts at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Through the years, the lamb show has dominated the annual stock show, keeping judges busy for most of a full day as they decided placements and awarded ribbons.
Actually, the lamb show didn't really start until the 1935 stock show. More than 800 fat lambs were shown that year, 120 head alone in the single classes.
A livestock judge at the first show in 1932 and many to follow was John M. Jones. He was chief of the division of animal husbandry at Texas A&M in College Station.
Old-timers will remember him later as one of the founders of the Texas A&M University Experiment Station between Sonora and Rocksprings.
When Bill Hinnant and I were covering agriculture for the Standard-Times in the 1970s, we met Jones for dinner and visited about those days. He was the father-in-law of Rosie Jones, of Sonora.
In 1953, Wayne Sharp, 12, of Knickerbocker, had the grand champion finewool lamb. The reserve champion finewool lamb was shown by Charles Hosch, of Santa Anna. Bill Lewis, 12, of Sonora, showed the champion crossbred. A girl, Pat Clark, 12, of Mertzon, showed the reserve champion crossbred.
Meanwhile, flash forward to 2012, wether meat goats should be on the fairgrounds by 3 p.m. Monday.
The show starts at 8 a.m. Tuesday in the Livestock Pavilion.
Junior Angora wether goats should be in their pens by 5 p.m. Wednesday. The show starts at 8 a.m. Thursday.
The Angora futurity was a premier trial event in 2006 with 33 entries.
Zane Willard, who continues to serve as show superintendent, came up with the futurity primarily to encourage 4-H and FFA members to get involved in the industry. That was at a time when a surge of Boer and meat goat numbers were taking over livestock shows, while Angora goat numbers were falling.
"Most market or show animals are judged based solely upon their body confirmation, muscling and conditioning," Zane told me. "The Angora wethers are judged on the typical criteria common to meat goats, plus their mohair fleece, which makes them dual-purpose."
The top 10 Angora goats from three classes — lightweight, mediumweight and heavyweight — will be sheared, returned to the show ring and judged on criteria common to meat goats, says Preston Faries, of Sonora, retired Sutton County agricultural agent and judge of this show.
The mohair fleeces will be evaluated and graded and will receive a dollar value. The average Angora goat produces about 5.3 pounds of mohair every six months and is sheared twice per year.
The Junior Angora Goat Show is at 1 p.m. Thursday.
The Youth Boer Goat Show is at 8 a.m. Thursday, and the Open Boer goat show is at 1 p.m. Thursday.
The Open Breeding Sheep Show is at 8 a.m. Friday, and the Junior Breeding Sheep Show is at 8 a.m. Saturday.
The Open Pygmy Goat Shows will be at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday. Pygmy goats were introduced to the San Angelo Stock Show in 2008. They are a small breed of domestic goats that were imported into the United States from European zoos in the 1950s. They originated in the Cameroon Valley of West Africa. The females weigh about 35 to 50 pounds, and the males tip the scales at 40 to 60 pounds.
The Wells Fargo Pavilion Commercial Exhibits and Creative Arts Building and food concessions on the midway open at 11 a.m. today.
The Stripes Carnival opens at noon and closes at 11 p.m. The fifth rodeo performance is a matinee starting at 3 p.m. today in Foster Communications Coliseum. The sixth rodeo performance will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

At Pine View Apartments in Pacolet, people living here will tell you, they haven't paid their rent this month. But it's not because they don't want to.
"I want to pay it but it's just we ain't got nobody to give it to," said Marianne McCollum.
Residents say several weeks ago, the apartment office closed up shop, leaving no one to take rent checks or maintenance requests.
"Different people don't have their AC working and stuff," said Marianne. "It's a lot of problems down here."
She says a fire tore through one apartment in June, that hasn't been touched since. She showed us the damage and charred furniture sitting inside, with trash and other debris spread across the grass outside.
Gloria Ann Long's unit is right next door.
"We just want to know what to do. That's the only thing I can say," said Gloria. "We just want to know what to do about everything."
A Spartanburg County property search lists Pine View Associates of Pacolet, with a Columbia, SC mailing address, as the owner. But there's no number listed for the company.
The complex offers government assisted housing through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with UAH Property Management overseeing the complex.
After several phone calls we were referred to the USDA state office in Columbia.
And now the USDA tells us that UAH Property Management has arrived back on site to collect rent and maintain the premises.
At least until they come up with a long term plan to fix up the place.
Residents here just want them to appreciate it as much as they do.
"Oh it's a wonderful place to live," said Gloria.
"I would love to stay here, love to stay here," said Marianne.
The USDA wouldn't comment on how the complex got to this point. Our calls to UAH Property Management have not been returned.
But a realtor involved with the property says it's being sold. He tells us he's working with the USDA to find a new owner as soon as possible, to get it into shape for the residents.
In the meantime, the USDA says there are no plans to make residents move.

The candidates running for Arizona's 1st Congressional District squared off at a candidate forum in Casa Grande on Thursday night.
Republican Jonathan Paton attacked his main opponent, Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick, for supporting the federal Affordable Care Act.
Kirkpatrick, meanwhile, knocked Paton for having lived most of his life outside the newly-redrawn district, which extends from the northern outskirts of Tucson on the south to the Arizona-Utah line on the north.
Kirkpatrick held the congressional seat for one term before being defeated in 2010 by current Rep. Paul Gosar, who is seeking re-election in a neighboring district.
Paton is a former state legislator who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2010.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports about 300 people attended the event, which also featured Libertarian candidate Kim Allen.

It's going to be an incredible day (or, in America, night) of tennis at Rod Laver Arena. We lead off with two master-versus-pupil matches in the women's quarterfinals (in the first match, the pupil has surpassed the master; in the latter, not so much). Then we get a potential upset bid and a very familiar, often ultra-competitive battle on the men's side. Settle in for some great tennis. Or, if you're like me, DVR it and catch up in the morning. It will be worth it.
Match No. 1: Victoria Azarenka v. Svetlana Kuznetsova
It was pretty easy to forget about Svetlana Kuznetsova. The two-time slam champion (2004 U.S. Open, 2009 French Open) and four-time slam finalist fell off the face of the earth in recent years, right around the time that Victoria Azarenka was beginning her ascent into elite territory. Kuznetsova has battled consistency throughout her career -- she won the U.S. Open in 2004, lost in the first round in 2005, reached the finals in 2007, and lost in the third round in 2008, and a year after winning the 2009 French Open, she lost in the third round -- but in 2012 she actually was rather consistently iffy. She advanced past the third round of just one major and withdrew from the U.S. Open. She has battled injuries here and there, but her biggest obstacle in recent years appears to have been her head.
For just the second time since the 2009 French, however, she is in a slam quarterfinal. She eked out a 7-5, third-set win over Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round, and now she faces Azarenka for just the third time since 2009. The lifetime series between the two players is a bit misleading; Kuznetsova owns a 4-3 advantage, but she went 4-1 before her tumble in the rankings and has gone 0-2 since. On the hard court at Indian Wells last year, Azarenka won, 6-1, 6-2.
Kuznetsova's form makes this match impossible to predict. If she plays at a top 10 level, as we know she can, this could be a fantastic battle. The two traded fun, three-set wins on hard court in Miami in 2008-09, and they could very well go the distance here. But Azarenka has to be considered a heavy favorite, simply because of her consistency. We think Kuznetsova could play at an elite level again; we know Azarenka can.
Match No. 2: Serena Williams v. Sloane Stephens
It seemed a pipe dream at first. When the Australian Open draw was announced, it was easy to connect the dots to a Williams-Stephens quarterfinal, but Stephens had quite an uphill climb. She would have to get past Simona Halep, a rising 21-year-old, in the first round. She would have to probably take out either No. 8 Petra Kvitova or smoking hot 18-year-old Laura Robson in the third round. She might have to take out either No. 12 Nadia Petrova or No. 17 Lucie Safarova in the fourth round. No problem. She smoked Halep, kept Robson at bay, and pulled out a tough, three-setter over Bojana Jovanovski (who had conquered Safarova) in the fourth round, and for the first time, Stephens is a slam quarterfinalist. Aside from the second half of the Jovanovski match, she has cruised, looking the part of a true top 10 talent.
Now comes the real test. The future of American tennis now takes on both the present and the past. Stephens must face 15-time slam champion Serena Williams, who at 31 years old appears to be playing as well as, or better than, she ever has. Williams has lost just once since her first-round slip-up at last year's French Open, and she cruised to a relatively pedestrian 6-4, 6-3 win over Stephens in the pair's only official matchup (Brisbane 2013). The two play the typical American style of tennis, full of power from the baseline, but at this stage in the game Williams is easily the stronger of the two. Stephens might have a bit of a speed advantage, and her defense has been outstanding at times, but she will need Serena to commit quite a few errors (as Jovanovski did in the fourth round, with just 14 winners to 49 unforced errors) to reach the semis.
Match No. 3: Andy Murray v. Jeremy Chardy
For the most part, we saw the usual suspects in the quarterfinals of the men's draw. Six of the top eight seeds reached the quarters, and No. 10 Nicolas Almagro's walkover win over No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic was hardly an upset.
There is certainly one major exception, however. No. 6 Juan Martin Del Potro, who looked untouchable in the first two rounds, was derailed in the third by an inspired Jeremy Chardy. The 25-year-old Frenchman, who has played some of the best tennis of his career in recent months, built a two-set lead over Del Potro, then held on for a 6-3 win in the fifth. He took out No. 21 Andreas Seppi in the fourth round and now sits in a slam quarterfinal for the first time. Plus, he gets to take on an opponent he beat the last time out. Could be worse.
The big-serving Chardy faces U.S. Open champion Andy Murray for a spot in the semis; Murray has won four of five lifetime matches between the two, but Chardy won, 6-4, 6-4, in Cincinnati in 2012. The second serve will tell the tale in this one. When Murray beats Chardy, he does it by taking Chardy's second serve apart; in his win over Chardy in Paris in 2011, he won 66 percent of Chardy's second-serve points and 77 percent of his own. But last year in Cincy, Chardy won 45 percent of his and 54 percent of Murray's. Murray is probably too good a defender to fall to Chardy in a best-of-5 match, but there's no questioning how well Chardy has played so far in Melbourne.
Match No. 4: Roger Federer v. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
It only feels (to me, anyway) like these two play in every slam quarterfinal. In fact, Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga haven't actually faced off on the court since 2011. Granted, that year they faced off an incredible eight times. Tsonga briefly took control of the series with full-length wins at both Wimbledon (overcoming a two-set deficit to shock Federer, 6-4, in the fifth) and the ATP Masters in Montreal, but for the most part Federer has handled the Frenchman. Still, familiarity has done great things for the competitiveness of their battles. Federer won 10 of the first 12 sets between the two men, but over the last half of 2011, Federer's advantage was just 12 sets to seven.
Against Tsonga, Federer is forced to go for bigger serves and bigger shots to keep Tsonga from dictating points with his own power. With that approach comes a smaller margin for error. Either Federer looks fantastic and wins, or we see a deadlocked, long match. Viewers win either way.

There are many of them out there: medical self-diagnosis apps for smart phones that can help people diagnose problems, from determining whether you have the flu, to even an app in the works that can help determine whether you have strep throat.
Valley Doctor Brian Dedinsky says the apps have benefits, but if used improperly, can be dangerous.
"Be cautious. Use the apps carefully," he said.
Dedinsky said apps can help people stay out of the doctor's office if they don't have a serious illness, but he warns people not to rely solely on applications. If there is any concern, reach out to your doctor.
"Every year we see elderly people die around the United States because of the flu, so it's not innocuous. To rely on apps and the computer when appropriate visits to physicians are available is a little bit inappropriate," said Dedinsky.
CBS 5 talked to people at one local cafe about what they thought of self-diagnosing apps, and the responses varied.
"I use them just to check and see, " said Rachael O'Flaherty.
"I decide to go to the doctor if it gets worse. (I don't use) any app," said Anas Elazaraj.

The Mars rover Curiosity is on course to land in Times Square Saturday night.
But don't worry, the car-sized robot hasn't wandered 152 million miles off its trajectory. NASA has arranged viewing parties all across the country for the public to watch the all-or-nothing touchdown of their most ambitious Mars mission yet. It's biggest? In the center of Manhattan.
But like any good New Yorker, you'll have to stay up late. The show, which will be shown on the Times Square Toshiba Vision Screen located beneath the New Year's Eve Ball, begins at 11:30 p.m. with touchdown expected at around 1:30 a.m. That means New Yorkers and visitors will be able to watch the historic landing on the biggest display involved in the event..
Curiosity, also know as the Mars Science Laboratory, has a pretty exciting time ahead of it. It's detailed in NASA's aptly named video called "7 Minutes of Terror."
The complex spacecraft encapsulating the rover must deal with the 16,000 degrees of heat generated by entering the planet's atmosphere at 13,000 mph. A parachute will slow it down.
It will all happen in seven minutes - on autopilot.
Because of the time delay caused by Mars' current distance of more than 150 million miles, scientists and viewers around the world won't know if the landing has been a success or failure for another seven minutes.
Talk about a nail-biter.
The real work doesn't begin until Curiosity is on the ground. The rover, which is the size of a SUV, will search for signs of microscopic life in the Martian soil. And if the most optimistic hopes for the mission come true, this machine could finally answer one of the greatest questions ever asked.
Are we alone?

Appeals help catch raiders
6:00pm Friday 27th April 2012 in Oxford By Laura Jones
AN Oxford Mail reader led detectives to Liam Pipkin's home where they found the thief with a copy of the paper open on the page featuring his 'Wanted' appeal.
Pipkin, who preyed on a 97-year-old pensioner, appeared in our pages after detectives issued an appeal to readers on April 3.
He had approached his elderly victim in a shop in Iffley Turn on March 10 and said he wanted to buy his car.
They went back to the pensioner's house to discuss the sale and while there Pipkin stole £125 from the pensioner's wallet while he was out of the room.
The 22-year-old agreed to buy the car and gave him some money but then Pipkin tricked him into handing over his bank card and PIN number on the pretext he was owed some change.
Pipkin, of no fixed abode, told the pensioner he would withdraw the cash and return but then disappeared. No attempt was made to use the card to withdraw money.
Pc Matthew Hodgetts said: "Pipkin was identified as the offender quite soon after the incident, but he soon became aware we were looking for him. We were trying a large number of addresses for him without success and appealed to the public to help us locate him.
"The day after an article appeared in the Oxford Mail we received an anonymous tip-off about his location from someone who had read the newspaper.
"When we attended the address, we found and arrested Pipkin.
"On the kitchen table in the premises was the newspaper open at the page of the article showing his face and stating he was wanted."
After admitting the theft at Oxford Magistrates' Court on April 12, Pipkin was sentenced to 22 weeks in prison.
And he wasn't the only criminal served a court sentence after featuring in the Oxford Mail.
Thomas Pancott, 33, who appeared in our Badvent Christmas crime campaign, was sentenced to a mandatory three years in prison after pleading guilty to burglary on April 20.
Detectives interviewed him at HMP Gloucester on February 1 after his DNA was found on a metal bar used to break into a house in Church Hill Road in Iffley on December 12 where he stole two laptops and a camera.
Pancott had been at a residential treatment centre but had been expelled from the programme and recalled to prison.
He then went on the run and it was during this time he committed the Church Hill Road burglary.
Pc Hodgetts said: "Judge (Anthony) King quite rightly emphasised that the major wrong in a burglary of someone's home is not the loss of the homeowner's possessions but the loss of a sense of personal security due to having one's privacy invaded.
"Given Pancott's previous offending history, the mandatory sentence for a third dwelling burglary was inevitable."

Ireland's finishing wasn't terrific, while Bosnia-Herzegovina goalkeeper Asmir Begovic was in top form on Saturday, but the Irish were still able to sneak one goal into the net for a 1-0 win. They dominated play throughout the match, and should have been able to win by more than one goal.
Both Robbie Keane and first-time Ireland starter James McClean had decent penalty shouts in the first 15 minutes of the match, but both had their legitimate claims for a spot kick turned down by the referee. Keane also had one miss in the first half, while the defense took a while to find their footing. With Shay Given and John O'Shea resting, the Ireland back line looked shaky in the opening minutes of the match, but improved as the match went on.
Giovanni Trappatoni made two halftime subs that changed the game for his team and gave them a massive boost. Keith Andrews came on for Glenn Whelan, while Aiden McGeady replaced Damien Duff. Both were much better than the man they replaced, though all four could conceivably be in Trappatoni's plans for the opening game of the Euros.
McGeady created the game's only goal in the 78th minute with a great cross from the right flank to the back post. Substitute striker Shane Long made a great run to lose his man and nodded it past Begovic to give Ireland the goal that they should have claimed much earlier in the game. They almost doubled their lead five minutes later through another substitute striker, Jonathan Walters, but Begovic made a miraculous near-post save, barely getting his hand to the ball while it was right on the goal line.
Ireland are widely expected to finish last in their Euro 2012 group with Spain, Italy and Croatia, but on the evidence of this performance, they won't be a walkover for any of those teams.

This is certainly San Francisco's most vibrant and exciting district. In fact, if you come to San Francisco and stay anywhere else, you will find yourself spending much of your time in or near this district for most of your stay. Statistics have shown that 90% of all visitors come to this district while staying in San Francisco. So then the question is; "Why stay anywhere else?"
The neighborhood is European in flavor with its hidden stairways and allies. Walk only a few short blocks and find yourself in the theater district, art galleries, museums, or in the middle of dozens of great restraunts, sidewalk bistros and cafes. The air is filled with the aroma of baking focaccia bread, roasting coffee beans, steamed crab, grilled meats, and sauteed garlic. When the flowers are in bloom the scent of star jasmine is everywhere. Here you will find an exceptional night life with live music, dancing, bars, and breweries. California'a beauty is everywhere from the top of her many hills to the Bay. Almost every street gives you a new and different spectacular angle of the City and the Bay. This neighborhood is so centralized that you do not even need a car. Nearly everything is within a short or moderate walk.

Hand outs to the Public?
Original post made by Fireman on Nov 2, 2007
Does a person need a permit to hand out written material to the public?
I have a hand out that inclueds,my writings,copies of Emails,newspaper stories,photo's and other written material.
Would I need a permit to hand these out on the street?
What about going door to door?

You need a solicitors permit in Palo Alto.
I have the sample printed out and hanging on the back of my front door. I flash it to all solicitors and call PAPD when they don't have one.
It is great fun.
on Nov 2, 2007 at 10:37 am
Thanks very much.

Fireman should get a permit if he just wants no hassle. But there is a clear First Amendment issue that he could pursuem since the law is unclar on whether he can be required to get a permit to hand out information. Fireman wants to hand out information - not collect contributions.
The Supreme Court has limited the ability of local governments to place restrictions on his right to dispense information. Should Palo Alto attempt to sanction him for not having a door-to-door permit, he could challenge them. I don't know how the case would come out, but he might win. Would be expensive, but maybe the ACLU could help him out.
You may have noted that during this election season, candidates and their supporters have been going door-to-door handing out literature. I don't think they have permits...and I don't think they are required to. (Does anyone know whether candidates have permits in PA?) Fireman should be treated no differently.

Cameron to host new Italian PM
7:51am Tuesday 1st April 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
David Cameron will seek to bolster support for European Union reform in Downing Street talks with Italy's prime minister.
Matteo Renzi, leader of the centre-left Democratic Party, is making his first visit to the UK after being sworn in as his country's youngest premier in February.
It is the latest in a series of one-on-one discussions with EU heads of government about the priorities which should be set for the new European Commission, which is due to be appointed following the European Parliament elections in May.
Europe's response to the latest developments in the Ukraine crisis are likely to be high on the agenda as well as EU matters.
Mr Cameron's hope of renegotiating Britain's relationship with Brussels was boosted when Germany agreed it must not be put at a disadvantage by eurozone nations' moves to integrate more closely.
Wolfgang Schauble said any changes to EU treaties must "guarantee fairness" for member states outside the single currency bloc.
The declaration meets one of Mr Cameron's key negotiating demands - that the rights of non-eurozone states must be protected - ahead of his planned 2017 referendum on Britain's membership of the EU.
A No 10 spokeswoman said Mr Cameron's goal of reforming the EU and renegotiating Britain's membership will involve a "long-term conversation" involving all 28 member states.
She said: "There are signs that the debate he is leading on reform across Europe is really taking hold, with other countries coming out with issues like cutting red tape or addressing issues of the abuse of free movement."
The leaders have previously met at EU summits.

This is a challenging 21K loop with multiple loop options for 42 and 63K distances. Consisting of approximately 10 miles of single track trail, 2.5 miles of rolling jeep road and less than a mile of pavement. Trails are technical and incorporate 4,500' of elevation change across the single 21K loop. Ruffner Mountain is an old mining site in urban Birmingham that has been reclaimed by nature and is now maintained for recreational use. Even though it's surrounded by neighborhoods, it's large enough to make you feel you're in the middle of a national park, without the chance of getting too lost. Course will be marked with sprinkler flags, survey tape and signage at turns. Alabama Outdoors is providing great schwag and professional timing will provide immediate, accurate results. Runners may switch distances at any time before or during the race by notifying race officials. Medals for all finishers and awards for overall and age groups.
Ruffner Mountain Crusher Ridge 21, 42, 63K 10.12.13 8:00 am
Presented by Alabama Outdoors. Sponsored by Hammer Nutrition and David Christy Photography (Thanks Guys!) Timing by DG Racing. Awards by Todd Henderson, RD of Pinhoti 100 and Alabama Outdoors. Thanks to BUTS, Birmingham Ultra Trail Society, for their volunteers and providing a drawing for 5 free entries into their first ultra, The Bearly Ultra 27, 13.5 and 9 mile race set for 12.21.13.
Race day packet pick-up begins at 6:30 am as does race day registration, $45.00. Ultrasignup.com $45.00
Three aid stations evenly spaced across the course with aid at the start/finish as well. Bottles are highly recommended.
Course directions (disclaimer – this may change somewhat to ensure distance is at least, if not slightly more than 21K for the loop. It's guaranteed to give you a heck of a run for your money regardless. As is standard, course will be over-marked.)
• Start/finish at the amphitheater behind the pavilion where packet pickup/registration takes place. Proceed across the paved entry onto the Marion Harnach Trail. Veer left onto Geology.
• Geology will dump out onto a paved service road which you'll go straight across and onto the white Quarry Trail.
• Proceed to Grey Fox Gap where you'll veer right onto Possum Loop. Take a left into and around inside the quarry. Hang a left back onto Possum Loop. It eventually runs into the red Overlook trail. Veer right and right again back down to Grey Fox Gap.
• Hang a right down to the ballfields – Aid Station 1.
• Left onto Ridge and Valley. Right at the Crusher trail going down and past the crusher and back up. Hang a right and an immediate left onto the Mine Ruin trail (this one hasn't been used in a Ruffner race before).
• It dumps out onto the Quarry trail, turn right and go back up that trail. Instead of veering left back to the Nature Center, go right/straight onto the red Hollowtree Trail. Turn left onto the jeep road.
• Turn right onto the Buckeye Trail down to Pipeline jeep road. Hang a right at the wetlands to Aid Station 2. Turn right on Sandstone Trail (lollypop), right onto the wetlands trail around the swamp (pea gravel and boardwalk) and right back up to where you'll turn right back onto Pipeline jeep road.
• Turn right toward Ruffner Road Trail Head (Palmer Salvage). Left onto Red Lake Trail (not a marked trail and not on the standard map). Right onto the jeep road.
• Left at the connector to Lizard Loop. Right onto Lizard Loop and follow around. Hang a right toward crusher #2 (not marked or on std map), right onto another unmarked trail veering right after the 'streamlet' crossing.
• Turn left at the North Trail (again not marked or on std map), turn left onto Blood Chute (you guessed it, not marked or on std map). Down to crusher #2 (part of this trail doesn't even exist yet, but will after 10.06.13). Left at the crusher back to Lizard Loop where you'll hang a right.
• Right onto a connector trail and right onto the Apex Trail (not marked or on std map). At the top take a left to aid station 3.
• Take a right down the paved road for a short bit, then left at the fire tower to the new trail. Turn left onto the jeep road. Right onto the red Hollowtree Trail.
• Right onto Quarry, and an immediate left onto Trillium. Half mile to the finish!

LAWTON, Okla_New information
has been released in the death of a man who was killed by an officer's car
during a police pursuit in Lawton
last month.
The Comanche County District Attorney's office has decided not to file
criminal charges against the officer in the case.
District Attorney Fred Smith sent a letter to Lawton police Chief James Smith last week
giving his decision. The letter says the D.A. reviewed reports from the OSBI
and the highway patrol and determined Sergeant Richard Harter's actions that
night did not warrant filing criminal charges.
Michael Davis died after a chase that started with a domestic assault
call at a Lawton motel and ended when Davis was hit by the
officer's car in a residential area several miles away.
We have been unable to get a response from the OSBI on the case, so the
specific details of the accident are still unknown. But, we will continue to
push for the release of that information.
The letter also said Harter is free to return to duty at the department's

Far East Movement Crashing Anti-Dirty Bass Rally Today?
[photogallerylink id=128777 align=left]
Twitter is a weird place. It let's you in on just about everything anyone is doing at any time. Now, with SO much information going out to the interweb, it's difficult to figure out what is real, and what is a really great marketing ploy devised by the minds of a good promoter.
AMP Radio fav, Far East Movement, has been tweeting a lot lately about an alleged movement that is anti-Dirty Bass lead by an organization called B.L.O.W that supposedly has a vendetta against the group. We sense something strange here but we are SO intrigued.
So check out these tweets:
We're BLOW – Ban Low-frequency Oscillating Woofers an organization dedicated to the elimination of prominent low-end frequencies in music.—
BLOWorganization (@BLOWorg) January 13, 2012
Yo Kev, Proh, Jae & Virman: We just learned the time & location of @bloworg secret, anti-Dirty Bass rally! Calling you now. @fareastmovement—
Cherrytree Records (@cherrytreerec) January 19, 2012
its official… we will be crashin the bloworg.org rally tomorrow afternoon. #jello—
(@fareastmovement) January 19, 2012
According to their website, B.L.O.W stands for Ban Low-frequency Oscillating Woofers.
The website states:
"We are concomitantly concerned with all of the abuses of bass frequencies pervasive in the various forms of current dance, hip hop, pop, electro and dub step music but since the musicians of Far East Movement draw from all of these forms in order to create what they boldly call their "Dirty Bass" sound, we are focusing our current efforts on their forthcoming "Dirty Bass" album in our overall goal to Ban Low-frequency Oscillating Woofers. "
Alright guys, fess up already. The timing is just too perfect. But we are dying to know WHAT this rally will really be? Perhaps a music video shoot?
Oh internet, we love you so.

The Washington Redskins have announced their Week 1 starting running back, and his name is not Roy Helu.
After much speculation about the direction of the team's backfield, multiple outlets are reporting that Alfred Morris will be the starter for the team's road game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon.
Morris, an undrafted rookie from Florida Atlantic University, beat out Helu and Evan Royster after the trio rotated through reps during the pre-season -- allowing the franchise to cut Tim Hightower in the process. Despite not being a highly regarded prospect out of college, Morris impressed the Redskins' coaching staff with his power rushing and blocking abilities, important attributes to possess when you're lining up behind a rookie quarterback.
But while the news is intriguing, it should not lead you to believe that Morris will get the majority of the Redskins carries just yet. He's still got plenty to prove, and Mike Shanahan is notorious for mixing up his backs throughout each game.
Last season, the Saints allowed more than 108 rushing yards per game last season, so perhaps there's an opportunity for Morris to impress and eat away at his opponent's defense in his first-ever NFL game.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
A new test is helping people keep track of their mental sharpness. The self administered gerocognitive examination or sage test, takes less than 15 minutes and some researchers say it may help spot Alzheimer's early.
The test is showing promise at identifying cognitive issues early, and it is a tool that researchers say could help those concerned about their own or a loved one's memory loss.
Coming up on Alabama Live we have a special guest calling from Chicago, Doctor Dean Hartley The Director of Science Initiatives for the Alzheimer's Association. He will be here to discuss this new test and what it could mean for patients and loved ones.

Mercury beat Sparks 94-89 for 7th straight victory
Originally published: Jul 6, 2014 - 4:44 pm
Taurasi scored a season-high 32 points, including a season-best seven 3-pointers, playing in front of family and friends from her nearby hometown of Chino, and the Mercury beat the Los Angeles Sparks 94-89 for their seventh straight victory Sunday, tying a franchise record.
"In those moments, you can't really panic," Taurasi said. "You actually have to feel the most relaxed because you've done all the work. You've played 38 minutes. Now, let's get a good shot and if it goes in, you feel good about it. If you don't, go on to the next game."
Penny Taylor hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:18 to play, giving the Mercury a 90-89 lead. They got the ball back on a turnover by Kristi Toliver, leading to Taurasi's 3 with 8 seconds left that ensured the Mercury's longest winning streak since August 2006 and the longest in the WNBA this season.
"Diana is amazing," Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike said. "She's going to make some crazy shots."
Mercury coach Sandy Brondello, a former Sparks assistant, didn't bother calling a timeout.
"We know what we needed to run," she said. "Diana made a big play. She's a great player. That's what they do."
Taylor added 17 points, Candice Dupree and Brittney Griner had 15 points each, and DeWanna Bonner had 11 points and eight rebounds for Phoenix (13-3). The Mercury's winning streak has coincided with Taylor joining the starting lineup on June 15.
Candace Parker scored 10 of her 27 points in the fourth, when the Sparks (7-10) trailed by six to start and fought back to lead by four twice before losing. Toliver added 26 points, including five 3-pointers. They fell to 3-6 at Staples Center.
"It was a big-time heavyweight fight," Sparks coach Carol Ross said. "They punched hard and fast, and we hit back."
Los Angeles had chances to win after Toliver's 3-pointer put the Sparks ahead 89-87 with 2:37 to play. But they were done in by errors. Ogwumike missed two layups and Parker watched as her jumper went in and out with 46 seconds to go.
"We shouldn't have had to battle back," Parker said. "I'm tired of all of us being right there. We better get it together soon."
Phoenix broke open a tie game early in the third with a 10-0 run. Taurasi scored five in a row and Griner added a three-point play to give the Mercury a 62-52 lead. They stretched it to 68-54 on three consecutive baskets, helped by Sparks turnovers.
Ogwumike, Alana Beard and Toliver combined on a 10-5 run to close the Sparks' deficit to 73-64 going into the fourth.
Los Angeles recovered from its horrible start in the second, taking its first lead of the game on a pair of free throws by Lindsey Harding. The Sparks gained and held onto the lead while Parker was on the bench getting her first break of the game. She returned to help them stretch the lead to seven points on a layup before settling for a 47-45 lead at the break.
The Sparks trailed by 13 three times in the opening quarter, when the Mercury shot 71 percent.

Swordfish with Fennel and Tomatoes Recipe
Step aside, marinara. There's a new sauce in town, and it's blissfully fresh with fennel and basil. TV-inspired and husband-adored, it would be a crime not to share this one. —Laurel Dalzell, Manteca, California
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 fennel bulb, halved and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, drained
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 swordfish steaks (8 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a large skillet, saute onion and fennel in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, wine, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in basil and butter. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Brush steaks with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill swordfish, covered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fish just turns opaque. Serve with tomato mixture. Yield: 4 servings.

Maven - A Whistle Stop Video Tour
In this presentation, recorded at a recent London Java Community meeting, put on by Skills Matter, Martijn Verburg and Michael McCarthy guide the users through a whistle stop tour of Maven. Martijn describes Maven as a Java project management (life cycle) tool rather than as a basic build tool. It has a simple XML configuration model known as the Project Object Model to describe the dependencies and external modules a project utilises. Maven is capable of automatically organizing these for the user, and drives forward the idea of compiling before testing, testing before packaging, packaging before installation, and finally deployment. Deeper into the talk, Martijn gives an example of a POM file and demos Maven's ability to give pre-defined targets for performing common tasks such as compiling code and the packaging. Maven is built around the idea of reusing build logic and standardising builds by preferring conventions over configuration.
(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
Martijn Verburg replied on Wed, 2009/02/11 - 1:12pm
LOL, I had _no_ idea that they were taping this.
Just to give some background info, this was one of several 10-minute speed talks given on various build tools (Ant, Antelope, Gant/Hudson) with the goal to have a much longer audience discussion comparing the merits and pitfalls of each afterwards (a typical scenario at the London Java Users Community meetings). It certainly was not to 'teach' Maven in any way, shape or form.
Michael and I certainly would not target a talk like that if we were to teach Maven, a 10 minute rushed delivery would clearly _not_ be the way forward!
I'm still surprised that this was taped and distributed to this site, talk about strange!
The meeting was really good though, it's amazing how passionate people are about what initially seems to be a mundane topic! Another meeting has been planned to discuss the build process further, I'd recommend to any London developers to check it out (just google London Java Community).
Jeroen Wenting replied on Mon, 2009/02/16 - 1:49am in response to: Gene De Lisa
It's usually not the programmers making that claim, it's managers making the claim about programmers over their backs and often against their wishes.
Public speaking is a difficult thing to do, and almost noone with a technical education gets any training in it whatsoever. We get to give a presentation about our graduate work, which we can hopefully practice once or twice in front of coworkers who might have some tips (but who themselves never got real training either), and that's it. You're now considered to be able to speak in public about anything you know.
If you think you can do better than Martijn, prepare a presentation about the same topic and have it taped (with no editing, do it all in one take) in front of a few hundred strangers. Let's see how well you do with your big mouth and negative attitude.
