On Thursday night there was a big break in a Knott County murder investigation.
Kentucky State Police arrested 37-year-old Gary Ward, of Johnson County, for the murder of Christina Barnett.
Earlier this month, a Knott County Grand Jury heard evidence from state police and issued a warrant for Ward.
Ward is charged with murder, evidence tampering and abuse of a corpse.
Today marks one month since Barnett's body was found under a pile of trash in a wooded area just off Highway 80 in Knott County by her sister and some friends.
Barnett's mother, Donna Hale, said she believes Ward is the man her daughter met online.
As of Thursday night Ward was being held in the Kentucky River Regional Jail in Hazard.
Four people who worked for the Floyd County city of Martin - including the former mayor and her daughter - were indicted Thursday on fraud charges.
Former mayor Thomasine Robinson and three others misused federal money and took part in a scheme to defraud the Social Security Administration, according to prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's office.
The nine-count indictment targets Robinson, her daughter and former Martin Community Center director Rita Whicker, former city employee Ginger Halbert and city bookkeeper Ethel Clouse.
The four women are charged with conspiring and social security fraud, misappropriating money from a federal program and aggravated identity theft.
If convicted, they could spend at least two years in prison on each count.
Robinson was voted out of office by three votes in November 2012.
The four women will be arraigned Nov. 5 in federal court in Pikeville.
The mystery of what happened to a well-known Floyd County lawyer who disappeared four months ago has been solved.
Friends were concerned Clyde Johnson had died when he went missing June 24, but police confirmed finding him earlier this week at a campground in Port O'Connor, Texas, which is on the Gulf of Mexico north of Corpus Christi.
This is according to Attorney Ned Pillersdorf, a friend of Johnson's.
Pillersdorf said he was told that when a Texas police officer approached Johnson at the campground this week, Johnson told the officer he was fine and to leave him alone.
Johnson, 47, was a fixture in Floyd County, representing more than 100 clients, serving as president of the county bar association and helping coach high school football.
In June, Johnson told his secretary that he was going to take his dog, Pete, and go fishing, and would not be back until June 24. He never returned and state police opened a missing person investigation.
United Steel Workers and officials with the Harlan Health and Rehab Center have a reached a tentative agreement that could avoid a strike.
The United Steel Workers sent a ten day strike notice to the nursing home last week.
The notice says if an agreement is not reached by midnight on October 31st, employees have the option go on strike.
The local Union Steel Workers President say they reached the tentative agreement Wednesday night with a federal mediator.
The employees will vote on Monday whether to accept it.
One of three Letcher County residents charged with conspiring to steal more than $1 million worth of trucks and heavy equipment has pleaded guilty and will be sentenced next month in federal court in Pikeville.
61 year old Roger Tolliver of Deane, is scheduled to appear at a sentencing hearing on November 5, during which Tolliver will admit to his role in an interstate theft ring which brought stolen pickup trucks, dump trucks, trailers, and other equipment to Letcher County.
Tolliver was originally charged in March 2012 after the Letcher County Sheriff 's Department found some of the stolen equipment on Tolliver's property at Deane and at a natural gas well site nearby on Rockhouse Mountain.
Also charged in the case are Henry Anthony Hall, 50, of Jenkins, and Sharlene Pierce, 41, of Neon. Neither Hall nor Pierce have entered pleas in the case.
The government will recommend that Tolliver be sentenced to not more than 15 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution of $135,598.
The Letcher County Fiscal Court has asked County Attorney Jaime Hatton to explore the possibility of getting some type of an exemption from the new City of Whitesburg payroll tax for magistrates who do not spend most of their time in the city.
District Four Magistrate Keith Adams brought up the issue in the closing minutes of the fiscal court's October meeting on Monday night.
Letcher County Judge/Executive Jim Ward said that while he understands that employees at the courthouse and other county employees who work in the city limits are subject to the tax, he questions whether the magistrates should have to pay the entire tax when most of them work out of their homes or offices in their districts and are only in the city for meetings.
For a full rundown of the October Fiscal Court meeting see this week's Mountain Eagle.
A Floyd County man is dead and police are calling it murder.
Police are keeping quiet about the details but did tell us 52-year-old Timothy Austin was found dead in his home on Hibiscus Court Tuesday afternoon.
Neighbors say Austin was new to the neighborhood living in an apartment above a store called the Bargain Basement.
The Floyd County Coroner says Austin was pronounced dead around 12:15pm Tuesday afternoon.
Officials are not releasing his cause of death.
The coroner says Austin's body was taken to Frankfort for an autopsy.
Anyone with information should contact Kentucky State Police.
The search continues for an escaped inmate in Breathitt County.
Police say 31-year old Brandon Nipper managed to escape from the Breathitt County Jailer one week ago.
Nipper had just been picked up on a receiving stolen property charge when officials say he made a run for it.
If you know where he is, you should call the Jackson Police Department at 606-666-2424.
Some Sheriffs from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia are planning to speak at a "Stand in the Gap" event this Saturday.
Eleven Sheriffs from the three border states are part of a panel to discuss the drug problem, what new drugs are surfacing, and what can be done to help stop the drug problem.
The event is called, "Illicit Drug Activity, Alcohol Related Problems, and Associated Family Violence."
The Sheriffs attending will have an opportunity to address the issues in their county.
The meeting is open to the public.
It starts at 10:00am on Saturday in Stand in the Gap headquarters in the old church building in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee.
A woman was hospitalized after a hit-and-run Tuesday in Martin County.
Claudia Johnson was walking on Spence Branch Road in the Milo community around 5:00pm when a car hit her and drove away according to Sheriff Garmon Preece.
Johnson was transported to Three Rivers Medical Center in nearby Lawrence County.
Preece said she had injuries to the back of her head after she was hit and drug several feet.
According to the sheriff the vehicle that hit Johnson could be a white Ford station wagon.
Kentucky's auditor says a former school superintendent assigned his wife to a job with an inflated salary, costing the Martin County School System an extra $200,000 over four years.
The report released Tuesday by Auditor Adam Edelen also says Mark Blackburn, the ex-superintendent, also awarded a privately funded scholarship to two of his children.
Current Martin County schools Superintendent Steven Meadows says the district will create or strengthen policies to avoid a repeat of such incidents.
Blackburn now works in the school system as an elementary school teacher.
Blackburn says he's disappointed at how the auditor has portrayed the findings and says his children earned the scholarship money on their own.
Officials dedicated the new judicial center in Pike County Tuesday afternoon after millions of dollars spent and years of work.
Many in the community debated the removal of some historical buildings that once sat in its place but officials say it was worth it.
Officials say they will be placing pictures and artifacts of the buildings they had to tear down in the lobby of the judicial center.
The $33 million/92,000 square foot building includes technology officials say will improve productivity and help the city and county continue to move forward.
School districts across Kentucky have maxed-out local property taxes in an effort to make up for cuts in state and federal funding in recent years.
The result is an inequality among the state's 173 districts that has turned school boards into political exiles.
Eighty-one districts, including Letcher County, have adopted rates increasing revenue by 4 percent, the largest amount allowed without being subject to a voter recall.
Seventy-six districts approved similar measures last year, while 26 school boards have yet to set a rate.
Kentucky School Boards Association spokesman Brad Hughes told The Courier-Journal the districts have no other choice but to turn to taxpayers.
Kentucky now has a new emergency operations center that has been built to stand up to any weather catastrophes that hit the state, including winds of up to 250 mph.
Gov. Steve Beshear said the $11.8 million facility will be a lifeline to all of Kentucky's 120 counties in times of trouble.
Kentucky has dealt with a series of natural disasters in recent years, including tornadoes, floods and ice storms that have resulted in federal emergency declarations.
Nearly $10 million of the funding for the center came from FEMA.
The remainder was covered by the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs and the Office of Homeland Security.
Hollywood has come to the mountains as filming is underway in Big Stone Gap, VA for a movie starring Ashley Judd, Patrick Wilson and Whoopi Goldberg.

The film will feature locals as extras.
The city manager said they plan to sell merchandise that will promote both the town and the movie.
Those will be available in shops around town.
City officials hope the movie will bring an increase to the economy of Big Stone Gap.

The Obama administration and the diplomatic tsunami
By DANNY DANON
09/30/2012 08:25
While Obama was trying to build new bridges to the Arab world, his approach underscored the fact that this administration seems not to understand the Arab mind.

The second error he made was in his address to the Muslim world in his Cairo speech of June 2009. In it he expressed a wishful-thinking vision of peace that was naive and that dangerously lifted the hopes of Palestinians. Obama reiterated his support of a Palestinian state, and he firmly rejected any construction by Israel of new communities in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, thereby going to the side of Palestinians and their demands.
People in the region viewed the speech as weak. While the president was trying to build new bridges to the Arab world, his approach underscored the fact that this administration seems not to understand the Arab mind. We know from talking to people in the Middle East that their respect is won in two ways: by showing strength and honoring yourself. The president did neither.
After 9/11, president George W. Bush's approach was to confront radical Islam head on. President Obama was trying to open a new era between the two civilizations that was less confrontational.
He thought by reaching out to the Arab world he would be able to build a new path based on dialogue and understanding – and maybe to calm down the atmosphere. But it didn't work because the Muslim world is not something that can be affected or moved by words. In fact, I would argue the opposite happened, and the fundamental sectors of the Islamic world were in fact galvanized and bolstered.
Of course, there are elements within the Arab community who are pro-Western and understand the benefits, but the other strong elements of radical jihadists and other extremist forces are not moved by any speech or outreach that comes from Western society. It is dangerously naive to think that a charismatic speech would be able to bridge or narrow the clash of civilizations.
The third and most crucial mistake Obama made was to adopt many of the demands of the Palestinians, unlike other US presidents, who tried to play the role of the mediator between the two parties.
Perhaps this was because such mediation resulted in few results – I am thinking for example of 1991, just after the first Gulf War, when president George H.W. Bush called a conference in Madrid between Israel and the Arab nations that were directly involved in the conflict. Talks continued afterward in Washington, but nothing substantial was accomplished. Then, in 2000, president Bill Clinton convened a peace summit between Palestinian president Yasser Arafat and Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak. Barak was willing to compromise on all major issues, including going back to the 1967 lines and compromising on part of Jerusalem; however, Arafat was not willing to continue and in fact walked out of the talks.
When Barak returned to Israel he was thanked by being booted out of office.
Perhaps the Obama administration decided it was more expeditious to simply adopt the demands of the Palestinians by calling in May 2011 for a return to the 1967 borders and the division of Jerusalem. In his May 2011 speech on the Middle East at the State Department Obama said, "We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states."
This statement made the Palestinians feel as if they no longer have to negotiate, and that they could win all their demands at no cost or concession whatsoever. What Obama did with that statement was accept borders that are often described as the "Auschwitz lines": Indefensible borders that would put Israel in an untenable position, easy to attack from all directions. Moreover, a withdraw to the 1967 borders would mean a forced evacuation of over 300,000 Israelis.
Is this realistic or even desirable? This was done without insisting that Palestine recognize Israel or make a concerted effort to end incitement. In fact, Obama didn't ask for any compromise on the Palestinians' part. In other words, the Palestinians want recognition of their state without ever having to recognize the State of Israel. Obama provided a tall and convenient ladder to climb toward this goal and it is going to be very hard to bring them down. It was an effort to build confidence in the Arab world; it was his way of saying, we don't automatically side with the Israelis.
Look what has happened in Egypt, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen and the region since then. The Middle East has its own dynamic and doesn't run according to guidelines set in Washington.
The assaults continue
In December 2011 US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta demanded that Israel "just get to the damn table" to negotiate with the Palestinians and "mend fences" with Turkey, Egypt and other Islamist regimes by "performing more gestures" – the code for more concessions. The deeper meaning to his outrage is that Israel singularly stands in the way of peace because of a refusal to negotiate and because it antagonizes its neighbors with hostile overtures. Mr. Panetta conveniently forgets it was the Palestinian Authority that walked away from peace talks. And Israel's "gestures" or concessions include the aforementioned 10-month construction freeze, which held the promise of getting Palestinians back to the table. It did not. As far as our other neighbors are concerned, it's hard to know exactly what Panetta is talking about.
Radical Islamists, whose stated foreign policies are hostile to Israel, influence the new governments in both Turkey and Egypt.
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to increase naval surveillance patrols of the eastern Mediterranean Sea, freeze defense trade with Israel, and allow Turkish gunboats to accompany Turkish "humanitarian" vessels –that is, illegal flotillas – the next time they set sail for Gaza. These are just a few examples of the prime minister's animosity toward Israel. Egypt's Arab Spring resulted in an attack on the Egyptian Israeli Embassy, increased violence in Sinai, and a loosening of borders that allows Hamas easier access to weapons.
Howard Gutman, US ambassador in Belgium, blamed Israel for anti-Semitism at a conference in Brussels. He basically said that Muslim anti-Semitism was understandable and tolerable (unlike traditional anti-Semitism) – and Israel's fault. He also argued, with a straight face, that an IsraeliPalestinian peace treaty would significantly diminish Muslim anti-Semitism while speaking in front of the same Jewish conference on anti-Semitism organized by the European Jewish Union.
If there were no Israel there would still be anti-Semitism, as there was before the state was created. The Palestinians would be no happier since they are raised on hatred. The Middle East would be no more peaceful – the region would simply revert to infighting.
It is a fight of cultures that is not about land or where borders will be drawn – both convenient ruses. The idea of an Israel-free utopia is a ridiculous ideologically driven fantasy.
In fact, well before there were any "Palestinians," in 1929, Arab mobs murdered more than one hundred Jews, the majority of them in Hebron, an ancient community where Jews had lived among Arabs peacefully for centuries. The mufti of Jerusalem enthusiastically urged his ally Hitler to wipe out European Jews during World War II, before the State of Israel was established, while the mufti promised to do the same for Jews in the Middle East. Ambassador Gutman needs to brush up on his history.
These US incidents all may seem like small examples, and as such are easily trivialized and dismissed. But taken together they create a picture in which the Obama administration has a dim view of Israel. Such interactions chip away at an important relationship and also undermine our trust in the United States.

I've owned every Linkin Park album ever made, including a couple of their LP fan club send outs. I was always at the store ready to buy it on launch day after discovering their first CD. This time was no different. I bought the CD/Video set and soon realized that I should have just downloaded a song here or there off Itunes.
When I opened the insert, the first page had a paragraph talking about the growth of the band and how each one stretched beyond what they were used to. I thought this could lead to some pleasant new sounds but once again, I was dissapointed.
The first song if you can call it that was nothing special. I would have preferred it to be a Mr. Hahn creation as some of the previous CD's have contained. He makes brilliant compositions and really has material that fits an ending track. Never should a 1 minute intro be considered a song so this CD has 11 true tracks.
The second song. Well its aggresive and heavy Chester vocals. I've always respected Linkin Park for not throwing in swearing on their tracks. For the most part Linkin Park managed to get their point across with clean language. I'm not against swearing, it does not offend me but I respected them for making a quote once that they felt it was not necessary in music. Well they threw that out the window with this song throwing the f word in all throughout. Again, I'm not offended by this, just dissapointed they felt they had to take this route.
The rest of the songs until minutes to midnight can be called fillers. They probably will never make the radio or become hit singles. As others have mentioned there are ballads and there is one Mike Shinoda rap. What it seems they have done is almost tried to fuse Fort Minor with Linkin Park. This whole album sounded like something Fort Minor could produce and I think Mike Shinoda has a large role in that. My fiance had commented how much she likes the new album because it sounded like EMO. That's when I really became disgusted with the CD. This whole growth thing and trying new sounds was a huge mistake. It's possible to grow without completely changing musical styles.
Minutes to Midnight is good and probably the only single that will be a hit. It's the closest to the old Linkin Park that the listener will ever encounter. It shows that somewhere, the band still has its old sound. After that, its once again more fillers.
The last track is nice. It's not true Linkin Park sound, but it does have a nice catch to it and the harmonization is well done.
In the end, I call this CD a huge bust. They claim they had over 100 songs to choose from. I say find some of those 100 that sound like the old Linkin Park and put them into a new CD quick. They really risk losing their core fan base on this CD unless they can get back to the sound they used to play with. The first CD was some of the best music they have put out and it created their first fans. Artists seem to think they need to tinker and toy with everything as they go. I don't understand why something that works needs to be changed.
If your a hardcore fan, buy the CD simply to support Linkin Park in hopes they will create something better. Otherwise, find some tracks you like and download them.

Just wondering what everyones concensus is on this spot for him. 9 yr 214mil...
links saying Miggy is moving from 1B but does that mean he goes to 3B? and what happens when Victor Martinez returns from injury?
Comerica Park is not the friendliest for hitters but i don't see that suppressing Prince's power at all, him and Miggy should be quit the 3-4 fearsome for years though... but that team needs men on base on top the order which... they really don't have imo.
Any thoughts?

cub cadet motor mounts
does anyone have the NAPA part number for the rubber bushings
for motor mounts for a 1650 cub cadet?
This link
http://ihregistry.com/discus/messages/4 ... #POST61385
will take you to a picture of the Moog mounts. They have been recomending using the IH on the bottom and the moog on top.
The Geezer from IHregistry.com which crashed and is now Cub Cadet Collectors.
The top half of the original rubber mounts are usually still good, use them on the bottom and the Moog rubber parts on the top, and use a flat washer. If you decide to use new mounts from Cub Cadet (pricey), it has been found they work better by tightening the nuts on the bolts until just 1 or 2 threads are showing rather than tightening to the torque values in the instructions.
If all the original top rubbers are not good, I would replace with the new Cub Cadet mounts, and replace them in pairs - both fronts or both rears etc, because they are made with a stiffer or harder material than the originals. You will get more engine vibration from new ones because they are harder, but it will improve with use.
This is a site http://members.aol.com/pullingtractor/clutch.htm that John *.?-!.* cub owner posted a while back.
I use Cadets to pull large trail mowers to cut ten acres of grass every week.
Every year one of the tractors with the rubber type engine mounts would tear up a clutch due to engine mount fatigue. I posted my issue on the Cadet forums(they suggested) and I installed original IH and as well the NAPA mounts. Every year the same issue, $160.00 for clutch assemblies.
Last winter I was about to give up on the Cadet and remembered a post John made the summer before about Cadet Clutch failures due to fatigue engine mounts.
A man by the name of Brian Miller makes solid engine mounts to take the place of the rubber mounts. Also he builds a heavier clutch plate (next to the bad one in the picture) for a very reasonable price. (Half the cost from IH) I installed the mounts and the clutch assembly last winter and the Cadet went through the summer used by teenage boys without any supervision (I was gone) and no recognized (engine mount) troubles.
You can see in the picture what happens to the clutch when the engine drops down and misaligns with the clutch assembly. Also you can see what the fatigue engine mount (next to the new steel mount in the picture) looks like after a few months of use.
The tractor vibrates much more than before, but I'm not spending my hard earned money on clutches any more.
Brain illustrates the mounts about half way down his web page "Fixing the Drive Clutch Assembly in an IH Cub Cadetâ€.
I was very satisfied with Brain, prices for his parts and his workmanship.
Jack Fowler
I'm really good at doing nothing…With that said…I'm really, really good at doing nothing
When it comes to cadets I know even less than i do on typing. But couldnt you mount on springs? The make some mighty hefty springs, Valve springs in a cub for example. They wind them, cut them to length and grind the ends flat.
Again i don't know about cadets.
"Life's tough.It's even tougher if you're stupid."
- John Wayne
" We hang petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."
- Aesop
They say that with enough time, money, welding rod, etc., etc., you can do anything, but in this case, the answer is no, or at least not really practical.
The rubber, engine ISO mounts on a Cub Cadet are as much for noise control as they for vibration, and they are used to mount the engine cradle to the tractor frame. They are used in the series of Cub Cadets commonly known as the Quietline's. The tractors also had hood side covers that enclosed the engine bay, and all cooling air, heat, excess noise, exhaust, and etc., was ducted out through the front grill. The package was developed in part because of some proposed noise/enviromental standards that never came about. When everything is as new, the tractors are much quieter than their predecessor's, but after years of use and wear, the side panels, exhaust enclosure box, hood etc., tend to do quite a bit of rattling.
Boy am i glad that I said that I didn't know..I always look at ideas as green baloons. Throw a bunch in the air and keep popping at them and see what is left. Zippo in this case.

Jaret Mitchell '00
Career Chick-Fil-A Store Owner
When given the choice between chicken or beef, Jaret Mitchell, '00, will always choose chicken, not because it's his favorite, but because it's his livelihood. A business administration major who wanted to own his own business, Jaret never thought he would be in the restaurant business – especially the fast food business. But after raising his store's sales 17 percent and winning Chick-fil-A's Symbol of Success award in 2007 and again in 2011, Jaret's business acumen is hard to miss.
Through friendships and an on-campus speaker, Jaret learned about Chick-fil-A and its unique company values. First, the dad of a mutual friend was a VP for the company. Later, a Chick-fil-A recruiter came and spoke in one of his business classes.
"The more I listened, the more I realized that my values matched the company's," said Jaret. "It was a five year journey from graduation to opening up my own store in 2004. I started working at a Chick-fil-A south of Atlanta the summer after my junior year, and after graduating in December, I went back to that same store and was promoted to general manager."
After working as general manager for a year and a half, Jaret joined the Interim Manager Program, a program designed for young people who needed more experience in leadership.
"The program makes you an employee of the company and helps develop further management skills at stores that are in between owners ," said Jaret. "It's a time to prove yourself."
Jaret served as an interim manager for six months, and then became operator (or owner) of the Altoona, Pa., store for three more years, knowing that it wouldn't be his final placement.
"The Altoona store was only a stepping stone to owning my own, free-standing store in Royersford, Pa., where I am today," he said.
Much of managing a business, said Jaret, is utilizing people according to their strengths, and maximizing those strengths to their fullest potential. "One of the big things is getting the right people, and getting the right people in the right spots. The more responsibility a position requires, the more important it is to play to someone's strengths," he said.
While Jaret is the store owner, he considers himself a part of the team – responsible for a specific part of the business' common goal. Chick-fil-A's leadership model focuses more on teamwork than "command and control" models, and this, too, is part of what makes the company unique, said Jaret.
Starting with only 45 employees and growing to 70 employees – the majority of whom are between the ages of 15 and 18 – gives Jaret a chance to make the business about more than just the chicken. With young employees, Jaret and his managers play a part in teaching them what the work force is really about, and what it means to be a good employee.
Part of being a member of the Chick-fil-A team is working together for a common goal. For Jaret's Royersford store, his managers decided to go for the gold – or at least the keys to a brand new Ford. In 2007, and again in 2011, the managers decided they wanted to grow their store's sales by 17 percent from the previous year's sales to earn the Symbol of Success award – a new set of wheels. For most Chick-fil-A stores, the average growth is 7 percent, so the growth is significant, said Jaret.
"The average free standing store volume is 3 million," said Jaret. "When you start looking at 17 percent over 3 million, it gets to be very big numbers. Chick-fil-A standards are through the roof, and the bar is set very high."
The Royersford store earned an F150 in 2007, and in 2011, Jaret chose a Mustang.
While the Symbol of Success was a team effort, Jaret relies on his own team to continue keeping his business successful. While he says it's important to remember that you're not as important as you think you are, your team is very important. He encourages future business owners to develop a personal development plan where learning is continued outside the classroom.
Much of the business theory Jaret studied at Bryan isn't applied everyday on the job, but he said his life-long pursuit of learning was kindled at Bryan.
"I started reading business books – not textbooks – in Dr. Bruehl's classes, and my habit of reading the Wall Street Journal everyday started with Dr. Lay's WSJ reports," he said. "I learned a lot of good life habits – Bryan gave me a baseline knowledge in a lot of areas. I know where to go to look for different types of information, and I learned more about myself and working with people through classes like worldview and psychology."
Jaret and his wife, Sarah Hess, also a Bryan alum, live in Royersford, Pa., with their twin boys, Jude and Levi.

Women's Soccer Shuts Out Campbell, 2-0
Fort Myers, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University women's soccer team earned their second conference victory with a 2-0 win over Campbell on Friday morning at the FGCU Soccer Complex. With the win, the Eagles improve to 6-4 (2-1 A-Sun) while the Camels fall to 1-6-1 (0-2-1 A-Sun).
In the 11th minute, sophomore Amber McCall (Fort Myers, Fla.) sent a great shot from the top of the box that was saved by Camels goalkeeper Annamarie Ditommaso. The Eagles would score first in the 22nd minute after freshman Lindsay Haw (Palm City, Fla.) scored her eighth goal of the season. Freshman Jessica Zabel (Lake Mary, Fla.) sent a pass from midfield to Lindsay Haw, Haw dribbled down the left wing passed a defender and found the back of the net to put the Eagles up 1-0. The Eagles would get another opportunity in the 26th minute, as freshman Kelly Sheriff (Coral Springs, Fla.) sent a header that just missed wide right of the net. The score would hold until halftime, as the Eagles outshot the Camels 10-1 in the first half.
In the second period, freshman Anna Jokuty (Calgary, Canada) added her first collegiate goal in the 54th minute. Jokuty's first goal came after a corner kick from freshman Michelle Kuhnen (Eau Claire, Wis.) found junior Kelli Haemmelmann (St. Petersburg, Fla.) who sent it to Jokuty, Jokuty cut inside to the top of box and hit the shot to put the Eagles 2-0.
FGCU starting keeper Kirsi Keenan (Boca Raton, Fla.) recorded one save while registering her second win of the season. FGCU outshot Campbell 19-3. FGCU had six corner kicks while Campbell earned two. The Camels committed 12 fouls while the Eagles committed only four fouls.
"It was a good win for us this morning, I was very impressed with our performance," said Head Coach Jim Blakenship. "We bounced back after last night and came out and did what we had to do, we keep pressure on them all game and we came out on top."
The Eagles will be back in action on Saturday at 2:00pm when they host Gardner-Webb at the FGCU Soccer Complex.

Flame War!
This is NOT "nasty-grams" being sent from one to another across the Internet, this is an evolution of government-sponsored hacking!
Microsoft released a security alert and patch due to the disturbing news that the hugely complex Flame malware has spoofed MS-signed certificates, potentially making Microsoft Update a malware delivery mechanism.
Security researcher Mikko Hypponen states that the massive and complex Flame malware, linked to state-sponsored espionage and information-gathering, has managed to spoof Microsoft-signed digital certificates, creating the potential for man-in-the-middle attacks on the Microsoft Update system.
If the Flame module successfully performs a man-in-the-middle attack, it drops a file called WUSETUPV.EXE on to the target computer. As of now, however, " It has not been used in large-scale attacks. Most likely this function was used to spread further inside an organization or to drop the initial infection on a specific system."
Microsofts warning and patch are located on its support page. The Technet Security Advisory is:
Microsoft is aware of active attacks using unauthorized digital certificates derived from a Microsoft Certificate Authority. An unauthorized certificate could be used to spoof content, perform phishing attacks, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks. This issue affects all supported releases of Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft is providing an update for all supported releases of Microsoft Windows. The update revokes the trust of the following intermediate CA certificates:
Microsoft Enforced Licensing Intermediate PCA (2 certificates)
Microsoft Enforced Licensing Registration Authority CA (SHA1)
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, but the main takeaway for now is to patch immediately!
How? Use your Start button and, using All Programs, select Windows Update. Until you get the update, do not trust your automatic download!

On tap and reviewed at tacomac.
A- light orange, slight copper in color.
S- nothing going on here. Faint biscuity malt.
T- big cheap malt nose, slight orange peel, slight spice.
M- medium bodied, well caronated.
D- malty, no smell, but not disgusting. Sessionable for sure, but not very enjoyable.

Brown in color with excellent clarity. A fingernail of white foam covers most of the top of the beer. Light Brussels lacing. Faint aroma of light malt and not much else. The taste is a gentle spicy and somewhat earthy light malt. Body is moderately carbonated.

It looks like a fizzy beer from Coors. It's more orange than brown or yellow. You can hear the fizz. A motionless, uniform fizz-lid tops this liquid. At the end of a longneck, it would look like a cap. For better or for worse, that's the most interesting think about the look.
I smell a hint of orange peel, but not much else. Whether it's the Belgian yeast, the carbonation level, or, more likely, a combination of both, you can actually smell the fizz of this beer. As I check the label and really dig for hibiscus, I get a bit of a floral aroma. With the ingredients thrown into this one, I'm disappointed with the nose.
It's bitter and borderline medicinal. This isn't what Cascade hops are supposed to do. It tastes more like an American Pale Ale, as the Belgian yeast influence is hardly noticeable. You're left with what's like a bitter astringent mixed with organic syrup. You know that with hops, herbs, and orange peel, there's bound to be potential, but this recipe leaves each ingredient without complement. They're there, but they don't mesh right.
Though carbonated, the taste is dull and flat. Unfortunately, it's one of those variety-pack beers that will prevent me from going variety pack. Short of awful, it's hardly worth trying.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. A best before date is printed on the bottle.
Appearance: The body has a deep golden color with very good clarity. On top the head builds up a light fluffy layer of soapy foam before quickly fading down to a small ring on the top. It is just off white in color and its lacing is very slick and slides down the glass.
Smell: The aroma has a light sweetness of malt with a hint of citrus and a very slight spicy accent.
Taste/Mouth feel: The main body has an almost honey like sweetness with a slight hint of citrus, mild spices and a fruity melon like thing going on. There are some light hop notes as well that work nicely with the subtle spices. It finishes on the sweet side with a smooth, wet and mellow texture. Its carbonation is soft and its medium gives it an easy drinkability.
Notes: Overall it's fairly simple and safe. Its note a stand out but it slides down nicely.

This beer pours dark golden or copper in color. This beer was difficult to pour as the head formation nearly foamed over. This beer has no mouth feel as it and finishes smooth. there is no hop aroma or bitterness, this beer is all sweet and malt flavor remains through out.

I enjoy the occasional Blue Moon Ale, but this beer really disappointed. It lacks any decent qualities and I don't know who would drink it --- too void of flavor for craft beer drinkers and not enough for main stream drinkers to consume.

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date printed on the neck of the bottle.
Bubbly lace on top of a completely clear brassy amber liquid. Ripe orchard fruit of apples an pears, wild herbs and a hint of sweet biscuits round out the nose. Just as smooth as it is crisp. Wet maltiness, toasty with a slight tiny sugary note. Very fruity ... of fallen orchard fruit. Peppery alcohol, dry biscuity finish.
A half decent try at the mid-range pale ales of Belgium. Its tried to be some where between Fat Tire and De Koninck and Palm Ale but lands somewhere else.

12 ounce bottle.
The pour is glowing almond amber, under a light tan head.
Head goes to a very thin film, thin collar and some fine slippery lacing.
Dull fruity nose, with just a hint of yeastyness.
Malt up front, mildly hopped and with some continuing floral qualities and light yeast. Barely "Belgian" in character, tastes more like a Coors like take on a very mild winter warmer.
Drinkable yes, with enough sweetness to use in the proverbial marinade for chicken or pork. Would work as an entry level beer for Belgian newbies looking to get their feet wet with a non intimidating new kinda beer.

Pours a nice golden orange. Clean looking with a surprising frothy head, that laced the side of the glass for a while.
Smells mild with some bready yeast, but nothing jumping out.
Taste is clean and biscuity, with more bitterness than I expected, and a decent mouthfeel with a surprising amount of body.
Not too much going on with it, but it is overall a pretty smooth and drinkable Pale. Don't turn your nose up at it based on the label.

Thanks to Cavie for sharing this bottle.
This beer pours a clear orange color with a white head. The aroma is strong biscuit malt. The flavor is wheat and some biscuit malt. Light mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A average to below average beer, not something anyone should seek out.

A: Despite all other reviews that I read prior to trying this beer, I didn't find it overly carbonated. The head was quick to assemble, however it didn't last incredibly long, after about a two minute wait, it was nearly all dissipated. The color is a light amber, with a white head.
S: The smell wasn't overly intense, and didn't have an off-putting aroma, but it wasn't as impressive as I'd had hoped.
T: The taste was par at best, for a pale ale, it felt that it was slightly sweeter than other bitter pales that I've had before. I was surprised to see this as an ale, as it has more of the characteristics of an american craft lager.
M: The mouthfeel for the beer was something left to be desired. It's hard to put my finger on it, but I found me scraping my tongue.
D: This beer is not something that I'd reach for on the day to day, even if I was looking for a "craft" or "specialty" beer.
Overall, not severely impressed, but at the same time, not disappointed, I found that this beer was better consumed once warmer than initially out of the fridge.

Two committees of the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce voted Wednesday afternoon to recommend their support of the May 11 Tyler ISD bond election.It's the first of three steps the Chamber must take before it decides whether to support or endorse the bond.Before they voted, members of the Chamber's Governmental Affairs and Education-HR committees heard presentations from Tyler ISD, Tyler Proud, and the No More Excuses, Tyler ISD! Coalition about the district's $160.5 million bond proposal, which would include remodeling Dixie and Rice Elementary schools, creating a Career and Technical Education Center, and building three new middle schools, including one in a new location in southwest Tyler."There are no middle schools outside of Hubbard on the south side of the loop, and it's a stone's throw from the loop," said superintendent Gary Mooring in his presentation. "So we have no middle school out in that direction where all the growth has gone."In her presentation, No More Excuses, Tyler ISD! Coalition member JoAnn Fleming brought up discipline issues and low academic test scores as reasons to oppose the bond."It's absolutely unacceptable to keep saying, our district has more children who come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and that's the reason they can't perform," said Fleming. "That's insulting, and it's wrong."Members of Tyler Proud argued that the district now holds 164 classrooms in portable buildings, saying they were unsafe and not conducive to learning - a point that was continued in open discussion."I taught in a portable here in Tyler and it wasn't fair for the kids," said Michael Lujan, who attended the meeting. "And it's just not fair to teach kids in substandard classrooms, in third-world country conditions." "So what if we pass these bonds?" Fleming asked Lujan. "And so what if we're four or five or six years down the road and we still don't have improvement in academics?"In the end, Chamber members said the fact the tax rate won't be increased and the safety and security measures new buildings would provide led them to recommend their support of the bond.The Chamber's executive committee will take up the recommendation of support for the bond in a closed meeting next week.The executive committee will then present its recommendation of support, opposition, or no position on the bond proposal to the Chamber board on April 16.

Your colorist has experience.
Don't assume that every colorist is a highlighting whiz. "Most colorists only cover grays all day long, so be sure to ask if they highlight on a regular basis," cautions Gretchen Monahan, Dove Hair Care celebrity stylist. Find out if he or she is skilled in the various highlighting techniques and ask which one best suits you. Foils and hair painting deliver the most natural results and are the easiest to grow out, reports Alexandra Matiz, a Fort Lee, New Jersey-based master colorist for Wella Professionals, while chunking offers a bolder effect but requires more upkeep. Ask around or even stop a woman whose highlights you admire. "Just be sure she has the same hair color as you!" says Rita Hazan, a New York City colorist and salon owner.

jQuery: delayed hover events (beginner)
I threw together my own piece of basic jQuery code to have a fadeIn and a fadeOut when I'm hovering a list item, this all works wonderfully apart from one small detail.
When I rapidly move over the list item a couple of times in a row, the events start queueing up and the fades keep happening until the queue is done.
How do I prevent this from happening?
I tried adding a "stop" to a "mouseout" event, but that breaks the setup and nothing fades in when hovering.
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('li.headlink').hover(function(){ $('ul', this).fadeIn("slow"); }, function(){ $('ul', this).fadeOut("slow"); }); }); </script>
Additionally, it would be neat to have the fadeIn stop when the mouse moves out of the list item before the animation is done, and then go straight through a fadeOut from where the fadeIn stopped (so if the fadeIn was at 60% or so, the fadeOut kicks in and starts from 60% to 0%, instead of 100% to 0%). But this isn't important, just a nice extra feature.
Thans in advance.

$('ul', this).fadeIn("slow");
and for the fadeOut.... I think that should work, not on machine to test..

McDonnell didn't promise to win battles with the General Assembly

The Bob-O-Meter tracks 48 promises that Gov. Bob McDonnell made during his 2009 gubernatorial campaign. Of the 38 that so far have been rated, we've found that nearly half -- 17 -- have been fulfilled and earned a Promise Kept. Three were judged to be a Promise Broken. The rest of the pledges have either resulted in Compromise, been Stalled by events or are rated In the Works as McDonnell begins his last year in office.

Truth-O-Meter unstoppable amid GOP convention shutdown
Hurricane Isaac may have shut down the Republican National Convention on Monday. But the Truth-O-Meter was unstoppable. PolitiFact arrived in Tampa just as former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist made a surprise endorsement of President Barack Obama in The Tampa Bay Times. He served as governor as a Republican, then ran an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate as an independent. We completed two fact-checks that touched on Crist's endorsement. Medicare remained a chief concern as the festivities began. Presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney accused Obama of hypocrisy, while his vice presidential pick, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, said the Romney-Ryan plan "does not affect" benefits for anyone 55 or older.

---- — DERRY — These town officials are always making summer plans.
In local planning departments, there is hardly ever a summer vacation when it comes to work load and what needs to be done to keep new businesses coming in.
Derry Planning Director George Sioras said there is hardly any down time.
"Our plans come in steady all year long," he said. "It's very rare that we have a break."
The warmer months bring a big share of new building permits and other projects that residents take on during the summer like building decks, garages or adding swimming pools.
For new developments and business plans, it's a steady stream.
Building action is seen all over Derry.
The final building in the new 49,000-square-foot Pinkerton Place retail/business complex is taking shape near the entrance to the new Wal-Mart on Ashleigh Drive, an area of town with new development and business potential, Sioras said.
That area is already home to a Goodwill store, Panera Bread and Woofmeow pet center.
That project's developer, Boomer Wolf LLC, was an example of a major business plan that just walked in the Derry office one day to ask for information.
Planning assistant Elizabeth Robidoux said that plan turned into a major project.
"We dropped everything," she said. "We worked on that for months."
Sioras said Derry's new business revenues are seeing growth due to the boom in some areas of town including that area near Wal-Mart.
Typically, town boards and committees slow down during the summer months and meet once a month.
The Derry board is meeting monthly through the summer.
"It's tough to get people to go out on a hot, summer night," Sioras said.
Summer can also be a good time for boards to catch up on some housekeeping that may take longer than expected and might not find it's way on a regular meeting agenda.
In Derry's case, planners were able to spend time on town zoning issues and are also working on an updated sign ordinance.
Sioras has seen many business booms in his 29 years on the job in Derry.
He said Wal-Mart is an anchor that attracts business — a good location and key for growth.
Robidoux said there is always something new and interesting, and there is never a lull in planning action.
"We always have a list of things to do," she said.
Sioras said the business coming through his office is a good sign for the town.
"We are steady," Sioras said. "We like it that way."
