The American rock band R.E.M. on Thursday demanded that Fox News "cease and desist" using their song "Losing My Religion" during its coverage of the Democratic National Convention.
"R.E.M.'s 'Losing My Religion' was used in the Fox News coverage of the Democratic National Convention last night," a statement on the R.E.M. HQ website said. "R.E.M. today, through its music publisher, Warner-Tamerlane Music, demanded that Fox News cease and desist from continuing its unlicensed and unauthorized use of the song."
"We have little or no respect for their puff adder brand of reportage," lead singer Michael Stipe said. "Our music does not belong there."
And it's not the first time the band's frontman has taken on conservatives.
During a 2003 interview with NBC's Katie Couric about the band's song "Bad Day," Stipe blasted conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, Republican strategist Karl Rove and then-President George W. Bush.
"It's a bad–it's a day for Limbaugh, isn't it?" he asked Couric. "It's a bad day for Schwarzenegger. It's a bad day for Bush. It's a bad day for Rove. It's a good day for me."
During the 2008 Democratic primary, Stipe revealed that he had been an early supporter of then-Sen. Barack Obama.
"I'm buoyed by Barack Obama arriving at a time when people have lost their faith in politics," he reportedly told The Sun. "There's something there that speaks of a level-headedness and competence, so obviously I want him to be the next President."
Over the past week, Fox News has devoted a significant amount of coverage to the Democrats' decision to exclude — and then re-add — references to "God" and "Jerusalem" in the Democratic platform.
R.E.M. representatives did not return calls by the time of publication.

MAYNARDVILLE (WATE) - A suspended Knox County Schools security officer appeared in court Friday for a preliminary hearing in the shooting death of his Luttrell neighbor.
The body of Michael Woodby, 45, was found around on the night of Sept. 16 on the side of Highway 370 between Ailor Gap Road and Highway 61.
Investigators say the shooting took place during a fight between Woodby and two other men who were walking along the road.
One of the men, Kevin Lee Waggoner, 42, was charged with criminal homicide. Waggoner is a security officer with Knox County Schools.
Hours before the incident, several law enforcement agencies and media outlets received a packet sent by Waggoner containing court documents and a DVD purportedly showing violent incidents between the Woody and Waggoner families in the past.
Family members say the Woodby family shot video as well, showing their side of the story, but that video has not been made available.
Included in the packet were several orders of protection that each side had sought, but none were granted by the court.
The victim's widow, Theresa Woodby, took the stand first on Friday, describing how the relationship between the two families became unfriendly.
She said the relationship worsened after her husband had a stroke and she asked the Waggoners to stop shooting and setting off explosives.
Woodby said they asked the Waggoners to stop videotaping their children, and the dispute became a daily event. She said a month ago, Waggoner pointed a gun at her son.
Woodby said her husband reacted to Waggoner's behavior by praying, yelling or staying inside the house.
The deputy who responded to the shooting then testified, saying Waggoner was very calm at the scene. Four rounds were missing from Waggoner's magazine, and autopsy results showed Woodby had been shot four times, with bullets recovered from his arms, chest and stomach.
When asked where the body was, Waggoner told deputies it was in a ditch. Toxicology reports are not back yet, but the defense say they may explain why Woodby's body was in the ditch.
The defense also claims that since forensic tests aren't back yet, it's not clear if Waggoner's gun was used in the shooting.
The defense also said Waggoner's son was injured and treated at the scene, claiming Waggoner was protecting him because Woodby hit Waggoner's son with a wooden stick. The defense went on to say Woodby could not have been ambushed if Waggoner's son was injured.
The victim's wife, Theresa Woodby, said her husband Michael Woodby was walking with a one and a half inch thick walking stick when he was shot by Kevin Waggoner.
Defense attorney Tommy Hindman says Waggoner shot Woodby to defend his son. Hindman says Waggoner's son had a head injury from being hit with the stick.
"The only thing he did was protect his son and protect himself. There is nothing premeditated about this," said Hindman.
The state disagrees.
"Who attacks two people with a stick, knowing both of them have guns?" asked Assistant District Attorney Tracy Jenkins.
Jenkins says Waggoner's account of what happened doesn't match the evidence.
Waggoner claimed to be across the road when he fired the shots but the shell casings were found close to the victim's body. Investigators say the bullets were angled downward. Four shots total were fired, two to the arms, two to the chest.
"The evidence suggests it was nothing short of a premeditated first degree murder ambush by the defendant of the victim," said Jenkins.
Attorneys also brought up the packet of documents and video sent to several law enforcement offices and media outlets only days before the shooting. The state called it a "premeditation packet."
A detective testified that he'd investigated some of the prior incidents between the Woodby and Waggoner families, but said if there had been any crimes, he would have charged them.
The judge ordered the case to be bound over to the grand jury on first degree murder charges. The grand jury is expected to make a decision at the beginning of next year. If there is a trial attorneys do not expect it to start until the end of next year.
The judge also ordered for Waggoner's bond to remain at $250,000. Hindman expects Waggoner to make bail.

The Arkansas Razorbacks aren't going quietly, now trailing only 21-17 to the LSU Tigers. Tyler Wilson hit Cobi Hamilton for a 60-yard catch-and-run up the sideline, putting the Hogs in prime scoring position while notching something like a fourth of their total yardage on the day so far.
Go here for Arkansas-LSU scores and conversation.
CBS aired a graphic showing Wilson leads the SEC in times being knocked down, with 60. Moments before, he was drilled in the chin, earning a roughing-the-passer call. The Hogs sent in dual threat Brandon Mitchell to spell Wilson. He did not get to deploy either of his threats, bobbling a snap and forcing a field goal try.
Wilson and Jordan Jefferson have both thrown for right around 175 yards now. A quarterback duel it is!

There is great pleasure in using the right tool for the job. I feel that way about my dryer (and washer, too). Press the LED light to indicate the combination of time and temperature you want - or go with the automated details for the kind of load you are drying. It's quiet and chimes when it's finished. I like to be gently summoned. I hope these well-designed machines will be with me for a long time.

We purchased this dryer to replace our awesome GE DCVH680GWH that we bought from ABT a few years ago but had to leave behind when we moved. We had heard good things about the Electrolux brand, and noticed taht there was a recent price drop, so went for it.This dryer is large and efficient, which is both a blessing and a curse. It can hold a giant load of clothes, but smaller loads don't always get dry. The sensors in the back fo the dryer require regular contact with the clothes to dry properly,and so for "engergy efficiency" will rapidly move the countdown timer forward if they don't sense the amount of moisture they're expecting. When smaller loads are running, they all tumble toward the front of the dryer (near the door) resulting in the sensors thinking the load is dryer than it is, ending in a damp-dry load. It's not very efficient to have to run two cycles, or use the timed dry feature and risk over-drying a load. We did not have this problem with our GE; even though it was less expensive it was still "smart" enough to dry any size or type of load. We'll probably make the adjustment over time, but it was enough of a bother initially that we had two service calls before the master technician explained the sensor issue to us. In any case, the unit has been mechanically solid so far; we have not had a chance to use the steam cycle yet, but are glad to have the option. It's quiet. The controls are a little clunky and slow, but again, not a huge problem. I am recommending this dryer, but only to those who are not doing small loads of clothes; get this if you have a large family or need to wash a lot of things at one time most of the time, or if you're ok with just using the timed drying cycle.

Electrolux Gas Dryer
By Jenn
The dryer works very well. It is stackable to sit atop our washer which is a nice space saving feature. The dryer is easy to use with many nice preprogrammed cycles and the ability to set a favorite setting. It runs very quietly and dries our laundry quickly and efficiently.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great Size, Great Features
By Cor2525
My fiancee and I both work alot, so we are only able to do laundry about once every 2 weeks. This dryer fits a lot of clothes in it, so biweekly laundry isn't a hassle! It also has alot of different options for cycles, clothing type, and temperature. The only negative I have come across is that sometimes clothes may need to be dried twice.
it really is the best!
By fou
my laundry is coming out cleaner and faster than ever before. and that steam is great!
Good but sensor status unclear
By Peach
I bought this to replace and match my old dryer that had simple two option dryer setting: permanent press and regular w dampness sensor. This dryer has many many options plus the steam. It is fancy and large capacity which I love. However, the settings are too many and too confusing and I don't even know if it is doing the dampness sensing as all the settings have a set time. With the amount of load I haven't times myself a load cycle to see if the duration of cycle is extended it shortened. I've had a few cycle that ended damper than expected and I was hoping the dryer had "fuzzy intelligence" to adjust to the correct dryness according to the setting but I have been disappointed.
By Mark
This machine has a lot options. The steam clean works very well and is very useful.
Excellent purchase!
By jimmie
Absolutely love the washer and dryer set...cleanest clothes ever!
By Jim
Works great no problems have had them for about 1month
problems within 16 months
By Deb
Tthe dryer itself worked fine. Not any better, however, than the much lower-priced dryer I replaced. Within the first 16 months the dryer stopped working. I had purchased an extended warranty through the store I bought the dryer from, a locally-owned business. That was my first mistake. Purchase the extended warranty through Electrolux. The local company could not send a tech for two weeks. I called Electrolux to find out that parts were still under the original warranty during the second year, and they kindly issued a voucher to cover the labor. They also arranged for a tech to come the same day. That all sounds good, except he came and said it needed new rollers. They had to be ordered. The local warehouse only had two, so the other three had to be ordered. It took another two weeks for them to come in, so I ended up being without the dryer for one month. While Electrolux went above and beyond to help me get the issue corrected, I would not recommend the dryer because I feel that a dryer of this price range should not be breaking down within 16 months of purchase in a home that has two empty-nesters and a minimal amount of laundry loads.
Superb Machine
By cjdiederich
This is one great dryer! We have had front load washers and dryers for over forty years but this one is by far the best. With its huge drum and special features like steam, options for drying, etc. it has been a real pleasure to work with.

FIB Granger
The Declasse Park Ranger is a law enforcement vehicle, making its debut appearance in Grand Theft Auto V. It is a modified version of the Granger. The vehicle is used by the San Andreas Park Ranger.
The front fascia strongly resembles that of a mix of Third Generation Ford Expedition and GMT900 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Package.
The front of this SUV features a large push bar and most distinctly a plastic front bumper finished in black. The front features a large main grille which has chrome edges and a horizontal strip whose line which continues through the headlight units. The bonnet/ hood features a raised area which has edges that follow the edges of the grille. Beneath the grille there is chrome area central to the bumper.
The SUV features a long wheelbase. There are steps on the sides for police to place their feet on. The body is white with horizontal green strips. The wing mirrors have flashing lights fitted to them and the A-pillars also feature spotlights. The roof features an LED light bar, mounted on the roof above the front row of seats and also features LED lights on the grill. The roof also features the same longitudinal roof rails, allowing officers to hold onto the car and fire a one-handed weapon simultaneously. The SUV features black wheels wrapped in high profile tires. At the rear, another distinct plastic bumper is visible, also finished in black.
The decal design seems to be modeled slightly off of the United States Park Ranger vehicles.
The SUV features a high ground clearance. The SUV uses high profile standard road tires.

- Can be found being used by park rangers in the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness.
- The Park Ranger can sometimes be found at the Sheriff's Office in Paleto Bay. However the chances of one spawning can be rare at times.
- It can also be found near the buildings behind the Vinewood Sign in Vinewood.
- Another location it can sometimes be found is the Bolingbroke Penitentiary.
- Sometimes found patrolling the dirt roads in the hills behind Paleto Bay.
- Parked at Beaver Bush Ranger Station (located on an unnamed side street east of Baytree Canyon Road, south of Marlowe Drive) in Vinewood Hills.
- The SUVs are fitted with roof rails that allow members of the SWAT team to hang on the side of the vehicle in a similar fashion to how the real life SWAT teams in Los Angeles hang onto the sides of LASD Chevrolet Suburbans.
- Its also seen that people can sit in the back of the trunk the vehicle in The Civil Border Patrol and An American Welcome.
- The Park Ranger vehicle in GTA V looks very similar to the Los Angeles' Park Ranger vehicle, with the exception of it does not have a green line across the vehicle.
- This vehicle cannot be picked up by the Cargobob.
- Upon entering this vehicle, you will obtain a Carbine Rifle.
- Upon entering, the HUD doesn't display that the car is made by Declasse; it simply says "Park Ranger, Emergency". Although it still has the Declasse brand in the front of the vehicle.
- Before Patch 1.12, the Park Ranger was classed as a SUV. But, after the patch was released it has been properly recategorized as a Emergency vehicle. It could've been used as a race vehicle back then.
- Sometimes, when switching to Trevor, he may been chased by 2 Sheriff Cruisers and a Park Ranger.
- In one of the early screenshots of the game, NOOSE officers can be seen driving it. It could be that in the beta, the Park Ranger was used a placeholder before the Sheriff SUV came in.

It's going to be a big enough chore to remake the Vikings' aging defense. Jared Allen remains in his prime, but what else is there to build around for the future?
But if the Vikings have any hope of winning while Adrian Peterson is an elite back, they will have to do it in the next two seasons. Peterson has had five terrific seasons and remains the NFL's best power back. But the expiration on players with his makeup is rather short.
Terrell Davis. Priest Holmes. Stephen Davis. Jamal Anderson. Shaun Alexander. Clinton Portis.
Those are just a few names of good-to-great backs over the past 15-20 years in the NFL whose relatively short (and occasionally brilliant) careers indicate how tough it is to be a bell-cow back in the league. Only Alexander and Portis had more than 2,000 carries in their careers. Peterson is coming up on 1,500 and could surpass the 2,000 mark sometime in 2013.
Peterson likely has two or three great seasons left. To be conservative, let's say two. It's not as if his career definitely will be over at that point, but he will turn 29 after the 2013 season, and we know the history of great backs thriving after 30. It's not a long list, especially in recent years.
The Vikings have to do whatever they can to get this offense charged up and ready to go in that time period. Christian Ponder has regressed in recent games, but it hasn't been all his fault either. The offensive line is beat up and shorthanded. Percy Harvin is the only WR threat. Peterson was out of the lineup.
That's why I think it will take two offseasons — two drafts and two free-agent and trade periods — to get the roster in the right place. A left tackle, perhaps two guards, two wideouts and a blocking tight end — that's the minimum they need to build a team around Ponder and not put him in bad positions. When teams blitz Ponder now, there is poor protection and few receivers who can separate. That's a bad combo.
If the Vikings want to give Peterson a chance, and take advantage of him in his prime, they must beef up the offense wholeheartedly these next two calendar years to give him and themselves a puncher's chance.

CATEGORIES Action, Classics, Thrillers, Mystery & Suspense, Cinematical Seven, CinematicalWhat's that old Klingon proverb again? I believe it's "Revenge is a dish best served cold." The proverb is meant as an admonishment to revenge seekers to use intellect and rationality and not passion and emotion in seeking vengeance. It's also not a Klingon proverb (it dates back several hundred years). When it comes to cinematic vigilantes, revenge is usually best served with blood-drenched, bone-crunching fury. The subject of today's Cinematical Seven, vigilantes on/in film, has been written to coincide with the release of Michael Caine's turn as a retiree-turned-cold-blooded vigilante Harry Brown (out on DVD/Bu-Ray today for your viewing pleasure).
First, we'll start with one bright-line rule: masked avengers, costumed superheroes won't appear anywhere in this Cinematical Seven. So no Batman, no V (as in V for Vendetta), no Kick-Ass, or any other vigilante who wears a cape and cowl (or a mask and costume) will appear on this list. By refusing to hide their faces behind a mask, non-costumed vigilantes are closer to the real world and, consequently, farther away from the fantasy world of masked crime-fighters like Batman or his many imitators.
We also won't count the expansive cops-turned-vigilantes sub-genre that kicked off the 1970s with Don Siegel and Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry. Cops in this sub-genre willfully break the law, usually tossed away with a glancing, derogatory mention of "legal technicalities," supposedly in the service of a higher, natural law. They, of course, get to decide (moral) right and wrong and act accordingly to the detriment of evildoers in their path, but again, it's the righteous (self-righteous?) non-law enforcement vigilante who I find offers the most to think and write about.
[Insert the usual "Spoiler Alert" before the jump.]
1. Straw Dogs (1971). Sam Peckinpah followed The Wild Bunch (1969) and The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970), both revisionist Westerns, with Straw Dogs, a revenge-thriller that focuses on David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman), a milquetoast college professor who retreats to a rural British farm with his English wife, Amy (Susan George), to escape a turbulent America. Violence follows Sumner to England. His timidity emboldens several British working types who, in Straw Dogs most controversial scene, rape Amy in one of the most disturbing scenes put on film (once seen, never forgotten). Women and rape tended to be motivating factors for men-in-rampage mode films of the era. Sumner responds with murderous rage. Peckinpah even went as far as calling Sumner the real villain for sublimating his initial violent impulses (I disagree).
2. Death Wish (1974). Director Michael Winner tapped in the 70's zeitgeist three years later with Death Wish, a New York City-set vigilante tale centered on Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson). After thugs kill his wife and rape his daughter (she retreats into a catatonic state), Kersey grabs a gun and begins hunting not just the men responsible for his wife's death and daughter's rape, but other hardcore criminals worthy of swift, brutal execution at the end of Kersey's gun. Sordid, reactionary, and exploitative, Death Wish spawned multiple sequels and, unsurprisingly, imitators eager to capitalize on Death Wish's box-office success.
3. Taxi Driver (1976). A collaboration between Paul Schrader (Mishima, Raging Bull) director Martin Scorsese (Shutter Island, The Departed, Goodfellas) and actor Robert DeNiro, Taxi Driver shares the city-as-urban-motif depicted two years earlier in Death Wish, but makes its loner character, Travis Bickle (DeNiro), an ex-Vietnam vet, and insomniac, a disturbed, borderline psychotic. There's no specific trigger for Bickle's behavior, at least none we see. He's already mentally disturbed when we overhear his voiceover narration. Taxi Driver ends in a bloodbath that's meant to be cathartic for Bickle, if not for the audience. The final, irony-drenched scene reflects Schrader and Scorsese's attempt, successful in my opinion, at social and political commentary (i.e., not all media-celebrated heroes are, in fact, heroes).
4. In the Bedroom (2001). One line, "I couldn't wait," in Todd Field's revenge-drama, In the Bedroom, has stayed with me since for almost a decade. On the surface, Todd Field's adaptation of Andre Dubus' short story, In the Bedroom, might seem like an unusual choice for this list, especially given the relatively low body count, but it's also the most serious exploration of loss, grief, and the overwhelming desire for revenge when the justice system, as usual for the vigilante sub-genre, fails In the Bedroom's central, middle-aged couple, Matt (Tom Wilkinson) and Ruth Fowler (Sissy Spacek). When their son's murderer goes free on one of those aforementioned "legal technicalities," they realize they can't move forward with their lives until the killer has been brought to justice, theirs if not the law's.
5. Kill Bill (2003/2004). On a lighter, if no less bloody (actually much more bloody) take on the vigilante sub-genre, Kill Bill celebrates Quentin Tarantino's inexhaustible love for all things genre-related and his concomitant desire to reference high- and low-art in his films, but there's little doubt that Tarantino's central character, Beatrice Kiddo a.k.a. the Bride (Uma Thurman), a one-time assassin left for dead by her former lover/boss and a hit squad on her wedding day, and her city and country-spanning hunt for revenge, makes for compelling viewing. And given the typically male-centered focus of the vigilante sub-genre, the Bride's addition is a welcome one.
6. Oldboy (2003). The second entry in Chan-Wook Park's (Thirst, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) deliriously bloody and gory "revenge trilogy," Oldboy follows a middle-aged man, Dae-su Oh (Min-sik Choi), inexplicably released after 15 years of being imprisoned by person or persons unknown and his unrelentingly violent search for their identities. If there's a case to be made for the "ignorance is bliss" adage, Oldboy makes it. Oldboy features one of the most memorable fight scenes in the last decade-and-a-half, a loose, chaotic melee in a hallway (cue side-scrolling camera), Oldboy repays multiple viewings, less for the puzzle plot and an implausible, if no less devastating, denouement than for the wonderfully excessive journey Park takes us on.
7. Lady Vengeance (2005). Chan-Wook Park's third entry in his "revenge thriller," Lady Vengeance is more contemplative, less action-oriented, but just as stylish visually as Oldboy. Lady Vengeance focuses on Geum-ja Lee (Yeong-ae Lee). a wronged woman's elaborate, meticulous plan for revenge against the man who forced her to confess to a crime she didn't commit. The penultimate scene is as chilling and disturbing as anything in Park's work as a filmmaker. Revenge, at least in this case, is definitely a dish (or rather a cake) best served cold, but Park, far more generous here than in Oldboy, gives Geum-ja Lee a moment of hope, however transient and transitory, as Lady Vengeance comes to a close.
Since we've reached the seven-entry mark, I'll add a few additional mentions: semi-honorable (or is dishonorable?) mention to Man on Fire and Taken and a definite dishonorable mention to The Brave One, Neil Jordan's Death Wish update starring Jodie Foster as a revenge-minded vigilante and Terence Howard as the semi-sympathetic cop. And for bonus points, the same retrograde, stereotypical take on minorities and the poor that made Death Wish morally and ethically questionable thirty-six years ago.
So do you agree or disagree with this Cinematical Seven? If you disagree, what vigilante-themed films would make your top seven? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

The case of a missing Williston-area rancher is now officially a murder investigation.
The state medical examiner confirmed Thursday that a body found Tuesday morning southeast of Williston is that of Jack Sjol.
The 58-year-old Sjol had been missing from his ranch since April 24th about five miles from where his body was discovered.
And officials say Sjol was shot to death.
Investigators believe Ryan Stensaker of Williston killed Sjol - and the 33-year-old Stensaker has been arrested and charged with Class Double-A Murder.
Stensaker is also charged with illegal possession of a firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Court records indicate he has served at least two prison sentences in the past ten years.
Sjol disappeared from his home about 5 miles northeast of Williston more than three weeks ago and officials said there was evidence of a crime at the house.
His family and friends had been asking for people's help in finding him ever since.
Sjol was living by himself at his ranch and is survived by his two grown children who live in Minnesota.
His sister-in-law Diane Sjol says the news that Jack was murdered is a shock to the family.
Still, she says there is some comfort in finally knowing what happened.

Anyone who had to drive on Highway 169 in the past few days knows it's been slow-going now that construction has begun on three bridges, reducing the roadway down to one lane.
Jess Mueller and Andy Gullikson both work at the Depot Coffee House in Hopkins, and they have to get there before 7 a.m. Both were well aware that the lane closures had begun, but even back streets became a congested mess.
The following three bridges are being rehabbed this summer:
- 2nd Street
- Excelsior Boulevard
- Nine Mile Creek
The roadwork is forcing commuters in both directions into one lane only, and there won't be any relief until the project is done in late July.
As Mueller and Gullikson found, the side streets meander around -- and the other nearby highways aren't exactly empty.

NOTE: We were notified just before this was supposed to air that the piece was pulled at the last minute. CBS is planning to run it at some future date, but at this point we don't know when that will be. When we know, we'll post it here.
I've received word from Air Products that last Friday a correspondent and camera crew from CBS Evening News arrived at Air Products to talk with John McGlade our SkillsUSA CEO Champion of the Year.
The topic was the role of career and technical education in preparing students to enter the world of work. Air Products believes John was selected for the interview because of the company's commitment to SkillsUSA. Air Products said: "John was glad to participate because it was another chance for him to share his passion and support for CTE and SkillsUSA."
Following the interview in John's office, the crew went to one of Air Products' facilities and then to Lehigh Career and Technical Institute for an interview with director Clyde Hornberger.
Air Products was told a two- to four-minute segment will likely run on Wednesday, September 28. That could change depending on the news of the day, but I wanted to alert you to the possibility that SkillsUSA will be referenced on the evening news.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a good story on career and technical education.

Mildred Louise Heater, 90, of Effingham, formerly of Tolono and Crawfordsville, Ind., passed away at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013 at Willowbrook (formerly Aspen Creek) in Effingham, after an extended struggle with Alzheimer's disease.
Visitation will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Pagel Funeral Home in Edgewood, followed by graveside services in Loy Chapel Cemetery.
Mildred was born Aug. 14, 1923 in Crawfordsville, Ind., to William Erbert and Victoria (Hodges) Underwood. She was married to Robert "Ernie" E. Heater on Dec. 6, 1952 in Terre Haute, Ind.
Mildred was a homemaker. She liked to tell stories of her youth, how she could dance on roller skates and enjoyed being a waitress because she loved people. Family was everything to her; she loved her husband, and was loved steadfastly by him. He cared for her at home for many years, until he became ill. She was called "Nanny" by her grandson; they shared a birthday and she loved every minute spent with him.
She is survived by daughter, Sue Getz; her husband, Paul of Effingham; grandson, Kyle Getz of Effingham; brother-in-law, Dick Grindley of Crawfordsville, Ind.; and a niece, Teresa Davis of Crawfordsville, Ind.
She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; stepfather, Carl Nooman; brothers, Jim Underwood and Bob Underwood; and sister-in-law, Vivian Grindley.

Affective Brain Lab
The Optimism Bias
Volunteers Needed
Affective Brain Lab: People
Tali Sharot
Principal Investigator
I am the director of the Affective Brain Lab (funded by a fellowship from the Wellcome Trust) and a faculty member of the department of Cognitive Perceptual and Brain Sciences at UCL.
My lab investigates how motivation and emotion determine our expectations of the future, our everyday decisions, our memories and our ability to learn. By understanding the brain mechanisms that mediate these effects we aim to identify ways to encourage behavioural change that enhance well-being. I am interested in questions such as when and how do other people influence our decisions and judgments? why do we process information in a biased manner? when, how, and why do people deceive themselves? how do these process go awry in depression?

KC5000-2 Locks are designed for cylindrical and mortise door preps and can be used in any facility, and any door where electronic access control is desired to simplify key control and increase the level of security. A perfect solution for hospitals, education, multi-family, airports and government, property management and more. A great security, convenience and performance upgrade from a reliance on mechanical keys or mechanical pushbutton locks.
An Alternative to Traditional Keys: All King Cobra (KC) locks provide an easy upward migration path away from a reliance on mechanical keys to maintain building security and access control. Once the integrity of the mechanical key system has been reestablished, locks with pin codes or electronic credentials can be used to maintain ongoing control of who has access to where and when. The KC family of locks allows this control to happen in a variety of ways.
One Lock. Three Options.KC2 locks can be programmed in one of three ways:
|This flexibility makes KC2 the perfect lock to grow with a facility. As needs change, so can the way in which the locks are managed. Each method of programming unlocks new features and functions, already existing in the KC2 electronics. This migratable approach allows the most basic user to have a plan for growth, one that won't require them to buy new locks when security needs change.

NEW YORK (NBC) - Dive into any family fridge and you'd find pretty much the same staple products packed into the cooler.
"Well, we got some specialty cheeses here we got as a gift for Christmas," says Dave Drennan with Missouri Dairy Association.
While nothing's set in stone, early predictions for milk prices are sour. In fact, in the new year, they could double.
Right now, an average gallon of milk costs $3.60, so pretty soon it could be up to $8 a pop.
"If dairy prices rise too fast to a higher level that folks can't afford, there are so many alternatives in the market place, from the power drinks, the nutrition drinks, the sodas, the waters and all that competition people will switch," predicts Drennan.
Financial Analyst Juli Niemann doesn't see that happening, but rather envisions the dairy bill drying up families' disposable incomes.
"When you're only paying a certain percentage of your income in food and that percentage starts rising, then you have less money to spend on toys, games, prizes, clothing, furniture, in other words, discretionary items," explains Niemann.
And all of those fears have a foundation on Capitol Hill, where tied up in talks about the fiscal cliff is also the farm bill, which includes the dairy security act.
Without a decision by year-end, U.S. Farm policy would revert back to the agriculture act of 1949, which makes milk go up based on inflation - causing that swell in the supermarket.

|I have designed a cubby in my island for a 24" Miele Speed Oven, with hopes that someday it would live there -- when I have an extra $3000. Meanwhile, there is a toaster oven and a small microwave trying to share the space.
I just saw that there is a SMEG 24" speed oven for $1600!
Anyone have the SMEG speed oven?
Follow-Up Postings:
|SMEG is a stylish although mid range brand out of Italy. They have not been in the USA long and have little market presence especially outside of New York.
About the only thing they sell in volume is their cutesie colored art deco fridges.
|I've seen their ovens, dishwashers, and fridges in the DC area, though not their speed oven. What I saw looked good.
They've had a bigger US presense than may be obvious, with some of their products being rebranded under other names. GE's top of the line Monogram dishwashers were made by Smeg many years ago. (they no longer are)
|lee - I'm not sure a few rebranded dishwashers last century makes even a small presence.
In fact, under that arrangement SMEG wasn't even present here, they just shipped over units to be marketed by GE.
What I am cautioning is, that outside of New York, you cannot go see the vast majority of their line because their dealer network mainly consists of internet retailers. There is also a hole in their service network should you ever need parts or a fix it man to come to your house.
Nothing inherently wrong with the product, and many find the look to be great. It simply isn't really available in small and middle town America or even some Big Cities.
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 23:35
|I got my Miele Speed Oven cheap as it was a never used floor model! Maybe if you search around you'll get lucky. It was $3000+ and I paid $1000.
Good luck!
|I have the same dilemma regarding regarding wall ovens. I like the looks of Smeg more than Miele but the service thing is a serious consideration. Hmmm
|How many Smegs can you get for the cost of a Miele?
The Smeg is cute!
About 2 -4 !
|Kind of puts the parts-and-service issue in perspective....
Smeg obviously trying to crack the US market now; whether they'll succeed we don't know. As for the aforementioned Smeg dishwashers rebranded as GE (and later DCS), that's how Bosch and LG got started in the US too. Bosch entered the US market in the '90s with only three products (all high-end dishwashers) and we all know what happened since. LG used to just rebrand their microwave ovens for others (and sell a few themselves under the Goldstar brand); it took less than a decade for them to become a major contender in all appliance product categories. Samsung didn't sell any major appliances here until about a decade ago under their own name. Meanwhile, several once-big US manufacturers have disappeared or been swallowed by bigger fish.
|anyone have a smeg or miele speed oven to contribute as to how well they function vs price being double for miele?
|I have a miele, and I had a Smeg range that I imported from France 10 + years ago . I'd roll the dice for 1000 bucks, but few people are going to get as lucky as 2littlefishies, so it's kinda moot.

"Everyone must leave something behind when he dies . . . Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die . . . It doesn't matter what you do, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away." ~Ray Bradbury
As a portrait photographer, my career has led me to so many incredible places and introduced me to many wonderful families. I have been blessed to capture images that show their growth and changes–we are there for each birth, first step, communion, graduation, wedding and significant milestone in between. Sometimes those images become the final memories of our clients' loved ones and their gratitude for capturing that priceless moment is beyond words.
In 2013 I was able to share the Legacy project with my studio clients here in Colorado. This year I have decided to do something I have only ever dreamed of doing...I want to tell the story of families all over the country. I will be travelling to over 30 cities, documenting stories of life, laughter, new beginnings and even loss. My goal is to design the session of your dreams and be a small part of your family Legacy.

We like to joke about first-world problems, and lacking Internet access is not really a hardship. But for those of us who are the last line of defense for infrastructures that can and do develop emergent problems in an instant, it's more of a concern. Not to mention it's hardly OK for an IT professional to have multiple circuit outages, no matter what the cause. Our nature dictates that we feel a sense of unease and discomfort until all the pieces to the puzzle are back in place and the bits flow again as they should.
However, I decided to dispense with that concern, if only for a day. I would silence the internal alarms that ring throughout an outage or unscheduled downtime. I would at least try to stop the background processing that rolls through unabated, mulling over the various data points of the problem, looking for correlations or clues that would fix the problem -- all of the normal trappings of an IT ninja in a crisis. After all, it was New Year's Eve, and I had my phone and tablet if something horrible happened at a remote facility.
I was moderately successful. I had a good time at a few parties that evening, and I found myself drifting back to the problem only occasionally, during lulls in conversation and other natural pauses. A good troubleshooter never rests, I suppose.
The problem was eventually resolved. The first sign was the phone ringing on New Year's Day with a call from Fairpoint telling us that our connections had been restored. Both analog lines happened to be controlled by a switching card that failed on New Year's Eve.
All Internet circuits were still down, however. I grabbed a beer and watched a few bowl games, and within a few hours, the DSL circuit came back up of its own accord. The next day, a nice fellow from Time Warner Cable showed up to check the circuit and quickly figured out they'd somehow managed to disable my modem remotely. Only a higher-tier tech could determine that and fix it, he said. He was out the door in less than 10 minutes, and all was back to normal.
If there's a lesson here, it's that even when the odds are seemingly stacked against a particular root cause, you still can't count it out. The other lesson, perhaps, is that I need to learn how to take time off -- but those instructions will have to wait for another day.

Boston Society of Young Philanthropists
A project of FOUNDATION FOR METROWEST INC
BSYP is a new initiative dedicated to engaging young professionals in the importance of philanthropy in their local communities.
Our vision is to educate, inspire, and expose a diverse group of like-minded young professionals to a wide range of nonprofit organizations, in order to be lifelong philanthropists. We are a Fund of the Foundation for MetroWest, a community foundation based in South Natick, and therefore have 501(c)3 tax exempt status.
Through social gatherings, networking, volunteer and educational events, BSYP provides young professionals in the Greater Boston area with the information, resources and leadership necessary to engage them in charitable giving, while raising funding and awareness for local nonprofit organizations.
