ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 16, 2011) – Blind Luck, a virtual cinch to be named 2010's champion 3-year-old filly at Monday's Eclipse Award banquet, came up short in her 2011 debut Sunday when unable to catch streaking Always a Princess in Santa Anita's Grade II, $150,000 El Encino Stakes for 4-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles.
Unraced since rallying for second behind victorious Unrivaled Belle in the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic on Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs, Blind Luck unleashed her usual closing kick in the 47th El Encino, but Always a Princess, who despite the fact she had pressed a fast pace, had plenty left in the tank under Rafael Bejarano. She defeated runner-up Blind Luck by 3 ½ lengths. The final time was 1:41.47
The result extracted a measure of revenge for Arnold Zetcher's homebred daughter of Leroidesanimaux who had succumbed to Blind Luck in the Grade I Oak Leaf Stakes in 2009 as well as in that year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita when fifth behind Blind Luck's third.
On Sunday, Always a Princess engaged Champagne d'Oro for the lead, discouraged the latter rounding the far turn, and quickly drew clear. Blind Luck, ridden by Joel Rosario, was as many as nine lengths behind while running last through the backstretch. In the end, the separation was too much to overcome.
It was the first time in the 16-race career of Blind Luck – which includes nine wins, five of them in Grade I competitions – that she had ever been more than 1 ¾ lengths behind at the wire.
Bob Baffert, who trains Always a Princess and whose Indian Firewater had captured Saturday's Grade II, $150,000 San Fernando Stakes for 4-year-olds by a nose over stablemate Tweebster, remained on vacation after having celebrated his 58th birthday on Thursday.
Sent off at odds of 7-10 in her 2011 debut, Blind Luck finished 1 ½ lengths ahead of 29-1 shot Fashion Trend in a field reduced to five starters by the scratches of It Tiz, Life Well Lived and Our Georgia.
The winner, who was the 7-2 third choice, paid $9.80, $3.40 and $2.80. The prices on Blind Luck were $2.40 and $2.10. Fashion Trend, ridden by Victor Espinoza, paid $3.40 to show. Malibu Pier, the 5-2 second choice with Garrett Gomez aboard, was never a factor and wound up a well-beaten last.
"I tried to be on the lead," Bejarano said after dismounting from Always a Princess. "I sent my horse really hard in the beginning. When I saw the No. 1 (Joe Talamo on Champagne d'Oro) rush his horse, I decided to put my horse right next to him. I didn't want to stay behind him, but next to him, because my horse has a stronger kick.
"When I saw the No. 1 getting tired, I decided to give my horse a little breather before coming to the stretch. After that, I just let her run and she showed me a big kick."
Jerry Hollendorfer, the trainer and co-owner of Blind Luck, had little to say. "If she got beat, it's because of my training," he commented. The El Encino marked the third successive runner-up finish for the comebacking filly who has earned over $2.4 million. Prior to the Breeders' Cup loss by 1 ¾ lengths, she was nodded by a neck in the Grade II Cotillion at Philadelphia Park.
For Always a Princess, the win was her fourth in eight starts and the winning purse of $90,000 increased her career earnings to $426,048.
Santa Anita concludes a three-day holiday weekend on Monday with the 59th running of the Grade II, $150,000 San Marcos Stakes at 1 1/4 miles on turf. The nine-race Martin Luther King, Jr. Day program begins at 12:30 p.m.

Sennheiser Electronic Corporation, the US distributor for Turbosound, is now shipping the Aspect TA-880H three-way mid-high enclosure and complementary TA-880L low-frequency cabinet designed for ground-stacked touring and fixed installation applications. The TA-880 system uses Turbosound's patented Polyhorn™ design to deliver seamless arrayability, very high SPL from small and manageable cabinets, fast and simple rigging, low weight, and convenient truck pack. The partner TA-880L bass enclosure is designed to provide low-frequency support from a compact cabinet.
The TA-880H features Turbosound's Polyhorn technology delivering a phase-coherent wavefront at the horn mouth designed to match the array curvature, plus a sharp cut-off at the pattern edges allowing adjacent cabinets to integrate seamlessly in an array. All drive units are custom designed in-house to further optimize the drive unit/waveguide performance.
The TA-880 system is recommended for touring or corporate applications for which a system of six mid-highs and eight lows would provide high-quality sound reinforcement for up to 3,000 people, provided coverage requirements are met.
A typical ground stack of three trapezoidal TA-880H top cabinets array placed on top of a block of four TA-880L bass cabinets reaches an optimal height from the ground that provides 75° of horizontal dispersion. Similarly, a three-wide flown cluster of TA-880H boxes is ideal for theater-type venues, with bass cabinets ground stacked underneath. The TA-880HM high/mid downfill can be used to good effect giving coverage of both floor and balcony areas from a single cluster.
The rigging system is external to the box. It consists of removable swords, which pass through the box, secured and linked with lynch pins, forming modular clusters to suit the coverage required. Fixed angle flybars are available for two-wide and three-wide configurations. Trapezoidal Aspect cabinets can be fitted with optional wheelboards that attach securely to the front of the cabinet to aid in moving and handling. TA-880L bass cabinets are pre-drilled for optional heavy-duty T-4 wheels.
The TA-880H is designed for use in conjunction with the Turbosound LMS-D6 Loudspeaker Management System. The LMS-D6 contains factory pre-set programs dedicated to Aspect products, as well as most other Turbosound loudspeakers. Current crossover settings can be downloaded from the Turbosound ftp site (ftp://ftp.turbosound.com). Also check this link for full details on the LMS-D6 controller.
In many situations single units of the TA-880H mid-high can be rigged with eyebolts using the M10 rigging points provided on the top of the cabinet. A further M10 rigging point is provided on the rear of the box as a pullback. Larger systems will require the use of two-wide and three-wide fixed angle bars, together with removable swords as described above.
Model Specifications
TA-880H has a frequency range of 95Hz to 20kHz ±4dB, while TA-880L ranges from 45Hz to 250Hz ±4dB. The maximum SPL for the TA-880H is 140dB cont., 146dB peak; for TA-880L it is 132dB cont., 138dB peak. TA-880H measures 1025mm x 477mm x 463mm and weighs 130 lbs.. The TA-880L measures 795mm x 477mm x 463mm and weighs 100 lbs.

Steve made his first appearance of the season on CSRN's Around the League podcast, taking 15 minutes to preview the New England Revolution season ahead of First Kick. Give it a listen.

The Revolution and the Red Bulls are set to face off in a preseason rivalry match down in Tucson, their second match of the Desert Diamond Cup. Maybe we can go without blood this time?
The Revs lost 2-0, and didn't look all that great at times, but really now. Can we all agree that someone forgot the memo that said "take it easy on the rough stuff, this is a preseason game?"

Buccaneers CB Ronde Barber hasn't said whether he will continue playing after this season, but we hear the Bucs will welcome him back in 2011 if he decides to put off retirement. He's proved that he's still an effective player this season, and head coach Raheem Morris recently said he hopes Barber doesn't call it quits after 14 seasons. Barber will be a free agent after the season, and there's no indication that he wants to explore opportunities to play for a different team. Tampa Bay has a couple of developing young corners in second-year veteran E.J. Biggers, who was promoted to the starting lineup after Aqib Talib was placed on injured reserve following a Week 13 game, and rookie third-round pick Myron Lewis. They'd be the top in-house candidates to replace Barber if he retires, but we're told that the club would prefer to let them learn and play behind Barber for another season.

vacation rental description
Experience downtown St. Augustine like a native in our charmingly updated Blue Bell Cottage, just 2 blocks from the Matanzas River in a quiet neighborhood. Completely updated inside, it's the perfect getaway with vintage appeal and modern convenience!
Blue Bell Cottage looks quite small from the front, but is surprisingly roomy within. A back porch with a jaunty rope railing extends the space into the fenced backyard, which boasts outdoor seating for a courtyard effect. After a busy day sightseeing in the city, you will love coming home to this intimate, delightful place!
Step into the living room and you are greeted by high ceilings, beautiful décor, and ultra-comfortable furniture that seems to invite long conversations. The old fireplace runs up the center of the house, simply decorative now but still boasting its ancient bricks. Long windows, from the days before air conditioning (don't worry; Blue Bell Cottage has central air!), ensure panoramic views from all directions. The "bones" of this splendid old cottage remain as lovely as ever, while a TV with VCR and DVD player are on hand to offer modern entertainment.
On the far side of the fireplace is a lovely dining room with a small round table set for 4. You will never feel cramped at Blue Bell Cottage, because the furnishings are in proportion to the size of the rooms. Here you have a spacious area, light and open, with a modern chandelier and the perfect table for games as well as meals. You have free wireless Internet at Blue Bell Cottage too, so this may be the place you set up the laptop to check opening times of the attractions you want to visit and to update your Facebook status.
The kitchen is nothing short of enchanting, with all new appliances that manage to look vintage, a cheery checkerboard floor, bistro table, old-fashioned-looking worktable with an inset double sink, and a chalkboard for leaving messages. Everything you need to cook and serve meals can be found in these cupboards and drawers, so if you like, stock up at the nearby grocery and do some home cooking. If not, the microwave is great for heating up the takeout, there's ice in the freezer for frosty beverages, and the coffeemaker will get you going in the morning!
Both bedrooms at Blue Bell Cottage are so comfortable and attractive that you'll have trouble choosing between them! The "master" bedroom has a queen-size bed, piled high like beds of old for maximum comfort, with a reading chair, his-and-her lamps, cheery rag rugs on the hardwood floor, and big windows on two walls.
The second bedroom has a double bed in an even larger room, with a double door leading out to the courtyard and an en suite full bathroom. This room can be drenched in sunlight or shaded tight, depending on your desire, and offers plenty of storage and sitting space. Such a homey room, certain to induce sweet dreams!
A half-bathroom, a lovely little foyer, and a utility area with washer and dryer plus a second sink (handy for wet swimsuits!) completes Blue Bell Cottage. It's the perfect nest for a family, two couples, or group of friends visiting the city. We've provided all the linens, towels, blankets, and pillows you'll need, so you can pack light. And at Blue Bell, you're just 2 blocks from the trolley stop -- right in the heart of the action without the tourists, crowds, or traffic!
Blue Bell Cottage is just a stroll away from the Castillo de San Marco Fort, Ripley's Believe it or Not, and other attractions in historic downtown St. Augustine. It is a home maintained with love and delightful attention to detail, such as the pretty stained glass window overlooking the back porch and the colorful quilts on the beds. Come stay here on your next visit to St. Augustine, and see the city from one of its most charming neighborhoods. We predict you'll soon be recommending Blue Bell Cottage to all your friends!

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- An effort is underway to raise Michigan's minimum wage with a ballot initiative in November.Groups on Monday created the Raise Michigan ballot committee to explore hiking the minimum wage. But committee treasurer Frank Houston says it's "highly likely" the groups will commence with gathering hundreds of thousands of signatures to qualify for the ballot.Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and majority Republican lawmakers haven't embraced Democratic legislation to raise the $7.40 an hour wage to $10.Houston says he expects Michigan will be the "No. 1 place" in the country for a debate over economic dignity and inequality.Michigan's minimum wage last went up in 2008 and is slightly higher than the $7.25 federal minimum wage.

Burning Man festival on Nevada desert draws to close with peak crowd of nearly 66,000
3 hours ago
RENO, Nev. (AP) — The Burning Man counterculture festival drew a peak crowd of nearly 66,000 celebrants as it neared an end Monday on the northern Nevada desert. The number was down from last year's record peak crowd of 69,613, which resulted in organizers being placed on probation for a second time in three years for violating the limit.
Action-packed TV might also pack on pounds by triggering mindless snacking, research suggests
3 hours ago
CHICAGO (AP) — Could action-packed TV fare make you fat? That's the implication of a new study that found people snacked more watching fast-paced television than viewing a more leisurely paced talk show. During "The Island," students ate on average about 7 ounces (207 grams) of various snack foods, and 354 calories. That was almost 140 calories more and nearly double the ounces they ate watching interviewer Charlie Rose. Watching the movie without sound, they also ate more — almost 100 calories more — compared with Charlie Rose.
US home price gains slowed to 7.4 percent in July as more homes were listed for sale
3 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. home prices rose in July but at a slower rate compared with earlier this year. The moderating price increases could help support sales. Prices rose 1.2 percent in July from June. But CoreLogic's monthly figures aren't adjusted for seasonality, such as increased buying that occurs in warm weather.
5 things to know about driving high on marijuana
3 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The legalization of recreational marijuana in two states — Colorado and Washington — and medical marijuana in more than 20 others has raised concern that there will be more drivers stoned behind the wheel. What's not clear is whether that will translate into an increase in fatal crashes. Five things to know about marijuana and driving:

The FCAT results are in and state officials are happy with what they see.
Statewide, the math numbers stayed the same, but scores are up in both the writing and reading tests.
At a press conference at Starkey Elementary School in Seminole, one teacher stood at the podium and said, "I'm so proud of each and every one of you!"
With the arrival of this year's FCAT results, state education officials are giving teachers and students a pat on the back.
State commissioner of education Dr. Tony Bennett said, "The gains you've made, the improvements you've made in your writing scores indicate how inspired and how inspiring your teachers have been."
Over the past year, 4th graders made a significant improvement in writing. State educators set a benchmark of a score of 3.5. In 2013, 9% more 4th graders reached that benchmark compared to last year. 8th and 10th graders showed improvement too. In both grades 2% more students reached that benchmark compared to last year.
"Writing is a significant improvement and it's actually the result of a lot of hard work, attention to detail," said Bennett.
But this achievement is not across the board.In reading, Florida third graders achieving a level 3 or above improved by only 1%, and in math third graders remained flat.
"Frankly, a one point gain in reading is not where I want it to be, that's not the headline but we should keep that in our minds," said Bennett.
"We have to keep moving forward and we think that with good data gives us a good place to start again, targeting professional development, targeting training, targeting improved instruction in our classrooms and improve learning by our students."
State educators say they're going to continue to raise the bar, but so far, they really like what they see.
And in recent years, one thorn on the side of educators has been cell phones.
Officials say texting has negatively impacted student writing and sentence structure.
So Dr. Bennett is hopeful these improved numbers show that students are learning and practicing proper writing despite the phones

Camper Testimonials
Want to know what the 2014 SFI participants are saying? Read their comments In the Spotlight.
I've attended Bradley SFI for the last three years. Each summer I have met people who have inspired me, cultivated my talents, and most importantly, fostered my growth as an individual. Because of SFI, I qualified for state as a sophomore, earned 2nd in the state for Special Occasion Speaking as a junior and senior. Every year I come back from camp as a stronger performer and a better person, a testament to the nurturing, coaching, and love that the team provides you during not only the two weeks you spend in Peoria, but for the rest of your speech season and your life.
- Kaveri Sharma, Multiple IHSA State Finalist in Special Occasion Speaking
SFI provided me with knowledge, friendship, and experience that I will value for a lifetime. Upon leaving camp, I not only took valuable information for my success and pride in my performances, I took home some of my best memories and friendships.
- Blake Bullock, IHSA State Finalist in Prose and Dramatic Interpretation
Bradley SFI is an exhausting experience. It is also one of the most productive things you can do as a speaker and a student. The six total weeks I spent at SFI were some of the most rewarding I have ever had.
- Sam Niiro, Multiple IHSA State Finalist in Extemporaneous Speaking and Impromptu Speaking
I know that I have a second home at Bradley and have become a part of an amazing family. SFI has undeniably changed me, and I am so grateful for the love and inspiration of our coaches. I love you all, and I feel so lucky to have met you all.
- Julia Rabin
Attending the Bradley Summer Forensics Institute has been one of the best experiences of my life. Coming into camp I knew virtually nothing about Original Oratory - when I left I was prepared to compete at the national level. More importantly, SFI taught me how to value and respect speech. I recommend SFI to anyone who wants to push themselves, have a ridiculous amount of fun, meet intelligent people, and compete at the highest level of forensics.
- Andy Braden, NCFL Finalist in Original Oratory
I was dreading camp in the weeks beforehand. I had never been away from home for so long, and it sounded scary and difficult. And I was right. It was scary and difficult, but it was also amazing and fun. I have never learned so much or met so many wonderful people in such a short amount of time. So thank you all for giving me this opportunity, it meant the world to me.
- Claire Bratzel
This camp was a life changing experience for me and I can't wait to go home and share what I've learned with my team. I learned so much about myself and forensics in general and had an amazing time getting to know everyone and getting to work with all these incredible people.
- Todd Bowles
Thanks to everyone who made this experience at this camp the best it could be. I learned so much from all the coaches, and really found out what it means to be on the speech team. It was an amazing two weeks of work and discovery, and I wouldn't change anything.
- Hannah Burmahl
It's funny how just two weeks can inspire you so much, but thanks to all the wonderful coaches and people I worked with, I feel very driven and determined to work hard with my piece and my team this season. I've gained a whole new perspective on speech, and my life is forever changed (in a good way!). I'm so thankful for all the lessons learned and the talent I've been around. We laughed, we cried, and even if it is a little cliche, I love you all. Thank you for an two amazing weeks!
- Coral Opem
I never thought something like a camp could change my life, but SFI has. Everyone there has inspired me to work harder, appreciate everything, and to be a better person. I'm still so upset that I had to leave you all, but we'll see each other again soon. When someone becomes part of your family, you never really leave them. Bradley is my second family and always will be. Thank you all so much for everything you have given me. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful two weeks.
- Kylie Caligiuri
It's crazy to think about how much everyone grew in such a short period of time, and it could not have been done without such a caring and talented staff. Bradley is different from other camps because we are a family--I've been other places and nowhere has come close to comparing to SFI. I already can't wait for next summer. I better see all of you back at camp then!
- Annie Schuver

Friday night the Jacksonville University women's soccer team will travel down 9-A to take on arch rival UNF with a River City Rumble point and first place in the Atlantic Sun on the line.
The Dolphins (5-4-1, 2-0-0 A-Sun) enter tonight's match with a four game winning streak against the Ospreys including a 2-1 victory at the Ashley Sports Complex last season.
The stakes are high as it is with both teams holding an identical 2-0-0 conference record and the chance to remain in first place, but the yearlong bragging rights that go to the winner are sure to ratchet up the game's intensity to a whole other level.
"With the schools only ten minutes apart, our girls know a lot of their girls," said head coach Brian Copham. "A lot of them play in summer leagues together and grew up playing club and high school soccer together so the teams are not strangers. This is the game that they take with them for the next 364 days until we play again because we are in the same town, in the same restaurants and places and everything like that. The game is always a lot of fun and always has great fan support. It is a great rivalry."
JU has strung together three straight wins with major contributions coming from the Weckhurst sisters. Freshman forward Marie has scored a goal in each of the past three games and leads the team with four on the season and has done her damage coming off the bench as a substitution. Her older sister Raquel has a goal of her own and leads the way with four assists.
UNF is led by Thea Linkfield and Carolina Lencina. Linkfield has tallied four goals and two assists in 11 games while Lencina has three goals and three assists. The Ospreys have won two straight to start conference play including a 3-2 overtime victory at Northern Kentucky their last time out.
The game is set for 7:00 p.m. Fans unable to attend can watch the action live on ASun.tv as well as follow the live stats.

CATEGORIES Drama, Thrillers, Casting, Mystery & Suspense, Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalMiley Cyrus might have a new reason to hate Twilight: she's signed on to star in an adaptation of the young adult novel Wake, the first book in a trilogy by Lisa McMann, and the movie sounds like it could be the newest spooky 'tween sensation. The Risky Business blog is reporting that Wake will be adapted by Christopher Landon, who co-wrote Disturbia, which starred Shia LaBeouf in a sort of teen-friendly Rear Window drama.
Cyrus will star as the protagonist Janie, a 17-year-old who can see into other people's dreams. As per the book description on Amazon, Janie keeps her strange talent a secret, but it becomes far more than an annoying nightly occurrence when she "sees" someone's nightmare and gets involved. The rights to the second and third books, Fade and Gone, have already been acquired by Paramount and MTV Films as well.
It's no surprise to anyone who follows the YA book market that this New York Times best-seller has been snapped up for adaptation, with plans to adapt the other two soon to come; one of the few places, it seems, that publishing is still making money is when it comes to this market, which appeals to both the typical 14 - 21 readership, as well as adults who enjoy the increasingly juicy offerings. And while wolves and vamps might be king today, book and film industry insiders are eager to find "the new Twilight."
Of course, what's really interesting is that MTV Films let the rights to Twilight lapse, and Summit Entertainment snapped them up in 2007. If you go back to Stephenie Meyer's blog archives, she laments, "The most disappointing thing for me is losing my perfect Edward. Henry Cavill is now twenty-four-years-old. Let us have a moment of quiet in which to mourn.." The perfect Edward? Surely, millions of Robert Pattinson fans around the world might disagree. In any case, what was MTV Films' loss was Summit's (huge, huge) gain. However, it's possible that this series, with plenty of Twilight-style marketing and the already high-profile Cyrus attached (and her increasingly, uh, interesting shenanigans), could leave Twilight in the dust.
I'm definitely going to put this trilogy on my reading list. Have you read the Wake triology, or know someone who has? Do you think Wake will be the next pop culture juggernaut, or will it fizzle like other movies where young Disney starlets have tried to make the leap to slightly more dramatic fare?

Each member of the Tornadoes' squad would not only score in the game, but also grab a rebound as Parrish locked up a spot in the area championship game on Monday night and ensured a berth in next week's sub-region tournament round.
The basketball team's three seniors: Brodrick Sanders, Desmond Brown and Miguel Samuels were honored in a ceremony before the game, along with the senior members of the Parrish cheerleading squad.
"Each one of our seniors are an integral part of our team. Brodrick has been with us for three years and has come of the bench to provide big minutes for us when we need it the most," Parrish coach Heath Burns said. "Desmond has gone from being a sixth man to a starter for us and plays consistently well every night. Even though Miguel is academically ineligible, what he brings to our team in practice is immeasurable — he's a solid leader."
Barry Hill recorded a double-double to lead the Tornadoes, scoring 15 points with 10 rebounds and three blocked shots. Tyler Sims contributed with 11 points, while Reginald Harris had 10 points on the night.
Jermichael Harris also had a double-double performance on the night with 12 points and 10 rebounds, but the junior was also honored for a special milestone — surpassing the 1,000 point career mark.
"Mike's a special young man and we wanted to make this night a special one for him," Burns said. "He's dealt with a lot of adversity in his life, but he's a winner and has been such a great member of our team. I look for Mike to do big things in his life — his potential is limitless."
Ben Cagle had a great night for the Bears, with 12 points and four rebounds. William Porter contributed with 9 points.
The Tornadoes opened the with a 17-12 lead, before going on a 22-6 scoring run for the 39-18 halftime edge. Parrish outscored Lynn 18-10 in the third period for the 57-28 advantage and followed with a 17-11 scoring edge in the fourth period for the 74-37 win.
Parrish (25-1) hosts the No. 8 Marion County Red Raiders on Monday night at 6:30 p.m.
The Tornadoes have won the first two meetings against Marion County. Parrish edged the Red Raiders 62-57 on the road and made up a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat Marion County 64-61 at Parrish.
Marion County 54, Sumiton Christian 44
The Sumiton Christian Eagles' season came to an end on Friday night following a 54-44 loss to the No. 8 Marion County Red Raiders at Parrish.
DeMonte Hobbs led the Eagles (20-7) with 19 points and six rebounds, while Vann Lovelady had seven points, seven rebounds and a blocked shot.
DeShawn Riebeschl scored 22 points and had six rebounds to lead the Red Raiders.
The teams fought to a 13-13 tie in the first period before Marion County took control of the game with a 25-20 lead going into halftime. The Red Raiders extended their lead to 10 points in the third period, 38-28, en route to the 54-44 victory.
Marion County takes on Parrish in Monday night's Area 13 championship final.

MURFREESBORO, TN (AP) - Federal drug enforcement agents who arrested a cocaine delivery recipient discovered he was a Rutherford County Sheriff's deputy.
The Daily New Journal reported a federal criminal complaint was filed Monday in Nashville against 35-year-old Luis Reynaldo Parra Flores of Murfreesboro.
Flores is charged with conspiring to distribute cocaine.
U.S. Attorney for Middle Tennessee Jerry E. Martin's office said Drug Enforcement Administration agents intercepted a drug courier with seven kilograms of cocaine in his luggage at Nashville International Airport on March 13. After an investigation determined who the drugs were intended for, federal agents and Metro Nashville Police arrested Flores as he tried to take possession. They found he was carrying a firearm and a badge identifying him as a deputy.
Sheriff Robert Arnold fired Flores and destroyed his badge.

text: I'm a dummy homeowner and would appreciate some help identifying the setup in the picture at http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/9899/p1010016fr.jpg and answer some questions about future repair or replacement. I believe that the tanks are 9x48 with autotrol 155s. Water source is a well in Florida. They are around 20 years old and still seem to work without any maint except I put a new timer and some valve plungers on one. I think the tank next to salt container is for iron and based on what I have read probably has green sand in it because I add potassium permanganate (not as often as I should) to the small round tank between the two units. A service tech told me I need new resin but the water is not hard to me. I will get it tested as I sensed the tech was a ripoff artist (more to this story) - 2 people live in house. How often should iron unit regenerate? Should it run before or after salt regen? - Does the resin slowly degrade and ultimately just not soften the water at all. Or is it something that either works or doesn't work? - Does green said wear out? - Do the tanks last forever? - Assuming that at some point in time, I will have problems with the autotrols and 20+ years on the resin and greensand, would it make more sense to buy a new setup or just repair and re-bed as needed ? - Are all bypass valves standard dimensions - meaning will existing plumbing attach to bypass valves regardless of mfg (autrol, fleck, etc) - Is there a one-tank solution for both iron and softening or are two tanks necessary with iron in well water? thanks in advance for any help.

PENDLETON, Ind. —
They're coming.
"You'll see them out there, roaming the streets," Ginnie Clevenger said. "They'll be out there driving around the neighborhood, usually really early in the morning, just scoping things out."
Yes, they're coming: With circled newspaper ads, wads of cash and an insatiable taste ... for the clutter in the back of your garage.
Yard sale season is upon us, again.
In Clevenger's Pendleton neighborhood, it's been a Pendle Hill homeowners' association tradition since 1977, marked every year with a big banner and balloons tied to mailboxes. Saturday, between 15 and 20 homeowners had signed up to price-sticker their old clothes, video tapes, whats-a-whose-its and thing-a-ma-bobs, and spread them across their front lawns.
"I always look at it like people are paying me to haul (clutter) away for me," said Clevenger, who coordinates the sale. "It's a win-win: They get stuff, and I don't have to find a place to put it."
Since there's no such thing as the U.S. Bureau of Yard Sale Statistics and most transactions are done in cash, definitive data on yard sales is a little tough to come by. But according to the folks over at the Statistic Brain Research Center, about 165,000 Americans hold sales every week.
They sell an average of 4,967,500 items to 690,000 people, for $4.2 million in total revenue per week. Assuming the sales only operate during the warm, spring-summer months of May through August, that equates to over $67 billion — yes, with a 'B' — per year.
For a little perspective, eBay, a sort of online yard-saler, made about $10.72 billion last year.
"There are some people who make it a business," Clevenger said. Pendle Hill's sale is usually a once-a-year thing, but there are many shoppers who "do it every weekend. It's almost like a profession."
But, hey, where else can you buy a box of souvenir T-shirts, a dozen DVDs and a clown-shaped cookie jar for less than $10? Those steals can be resold for profit — a margin of about 460 percent, when posted on eBay — or used to furnish a homes, for gifts or to update kids' wardrobes.
Serious yard-salers often pre-shop, targeting homes whose owners have similar tastes or wear roughly the same size clothes.
"I had one woman who did that every year," Clevenger said. "She'd always come looking for her kids."
For sellers, over 20-year yard sale veteran Clevenger advised the best day is Saturday, when most people are off work and looking for something to do. She said shoppers tend to start in the early morning, although her neighborhood doesn't usually get selling until about 9 a.m. Things tend to drop off after lunch.
To maximize profits, she recommends labeling things well, selling cold drinks and putting primo items out front to drive foot traffic.
And don't be afraid to haggle. "It's better to sell five things at $1 a piece than sell nothing at all and have to take it to Goodwill," she said.
Most importantly, whether things sell or not, enjoy the time with family and friends, she said.
"If I had a good day, I'd usually take the family out to dinner; let them cut into my profits a little," Clevenger said. "If it wasn't a good day, we'd still go ... only my husband has to pay."

Angst levels may be higher than normal for Saints fans this week.
The passionate supporters of the defending NFC South champions are frenzied with fears of free-agency Armageddon dancing in their heads. The concern is understandable considering the predicament facing New Orleans.
A recommended relaxant for these troubling times — viewing the Saints' draft history under head coach Sean Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis and director of college scouting Rick Reiprish since Payton was hired in 2006.
We know what's at stake for the team this month with the March 13 start of free agency looming — the face of the franchise, QB Drew Brees, is due to become a free agent. He and the team have no new deal in place with only a few days to go before the March 5 deadline for using the franchise tag, and reports that the two sides remain far apart don't give anyone reason to be optimistic that a new deal is imminent. It's expected that the tag will be placed on him on the 5th if there is no agreement, but using it on Brees would mean that OG Carl Nicks and WR Marques Colston would likely hit the open market, where Nicks could have multiple teams offering to make him the highest-paid guard in league history and Colston could attract attention from several teams looking for help at receiver and willing to spend big to acquire it.
Ideally, the team would be able to sign Brees to a long-term deal before the 5th, use the tag on Nicks or Colston and still have time to hit Coop's Place on Decatur for gumbo and fried chicken before heading to Frenchmen to celebrate keeping two of their "Big Three" free agents from departing.
That would be one of their best-case scenarios, but let's say things don't work out perfectly.
It doesn't look like Brees is going to get to the open market, but what if Colston and Nicks do, and sign elsewhere?
Neither player would be easy to replace. Nicks is arguably the league's best guard and Colston, the closest thing the team has to a No. 1 receiver, has exceeded 1,000 yards in five of his six seasons, including 2011, when he made 80 catches for 1,143 yards and eight touchdowns.
But the careers of Colston and Nicks, especially the very start of them, should give Saints fans a lot of hope that they can lose them and still be a contender next season and beyond.
Look where the Saints found them.
Nicks was a fifth-round pick. Colston was a seventh-rounder.
Look elsewhere on the roster. Jahri Evans, the team's other elite guard — the one they made the highest-paid guard in the league in '10 — was picked in the fourth round. OLT Jermon Bushrod, who just made his first Pro Bowl, was selected in the fourth round. One of the breakout stars of the past season, TE Jimmy Graham, came off the board in the third round. A top rusher for the team over the past few seasons, RB Pierre Thomas, wasn't even drafted.
Their draft history is far from perfect. They will miss like everyone else does at times (although less frequently than many), and do not have a first-round pick this year — it was dealt to the Patriots to be in position to draft RB Mark Ingram late in the first round last year. The Saints are not due to make a pick until selection No. 59 this year, but few, if any, clubs have done a better job of finding good-to-elite players in the mid-to-late rounds of the draft than the Saints over the past several seasons and the two positions in which the Saints are in jeopardy of losing key players — guard and wide receiver — happen to be two of the deepest areas of this year's draft.
PFW draft expert Nolan Nawrocki gave both position groups an "A" grade in the PFW 2012 Draft Guide. Defensive tackle, another place where the Saints could be looking for help this offseason, was the only other position graded so highly.
There will be a player available that can help the team right away even if they don't make a pick until No. 59, and he'll come at a much more affordable price than Colston or Nicks.
Let's not forget that the Saints have such difficult decisions to make ahead of free agency this offseason because they have done such a great job of building their roster. Teams don't envy the choices Loomis has to make, but so many of them wish they would have taken a chance on Brees and his surgically repaired shoulder before the '06 season, or gambled on Nicks, who had his share of red flags coming out of Nebraska, in '08.
The Saints' core on offense appears likely to be chipped away at this offseason as we assess the situation today, but if the Saints' brain trust of Loomis and Payton make a major personnel blunder, it would be out of character.
Overpaying to keep a good player could be more damaging to them than letting one go.

Ever wonder where those amazing "Seen on TV" products come from? Lately, it's an idea thought up by mom.
Tanya Lewis is a "mommy inventor."
"Moms make good inventors because moms are very creative, they're very resourceful. When they have children, especially when they're new moms, they realize there are a lot of products out there that just don't work," she explained.
For Tanya, that product was her mop.
"They didn't get down into the grout of my tile floor, they didn't get up against the edges of the wall, where the floor and the wall meet," she said.
So she invented the "Green Glider" mop pad, which is durable, reusable and saves you from having to buy all those disposable pads.
"Microfiber cleans but it doesn't absorb, shammy is so dense that it absorbs, but it doesn't really clean, it just pushes dirt around. So I thought, why don't I put them together."
A year later, she was selling on QVC.
"We went on air and we sold out in eight minutes."
It's certainly a successful invention, but the key question is, is it making money?
"It's profitable, but most of the money needs to go back into the business right now," she says.
That can create a tough balancing act for moms.
"Being an inventor and being a mom is kinda like swimming with one hand behind your back," Tanya explained.
"It's never-ending, I'm either taking care of Zachary or working on Green Glider."
That's where groups like Mompact come in.
"I wanted to get on Amazon, and there is a lady named Kelly on Mompact who is an Amazon superstar, so she gave me the name of her contact at Amazon. She gave me all kinds of tips what to do, what not to do."
The community of online mom inventors helps mothers make sure they get help from the right people. Shelley Straitiff is the Founder and CEO of Mompact.
"I think the biggest pitfalls for the mom inventors is falling for someone who flatters you. So, someone says you've got a great idea, let me help you and then find out that they want to sell you a bunch of services," she said.
Shelley added that there's enough free help out there for moms.
"So what I suggest is instead to find a natural mentor, which is somebody else that's been in the business who isn't charging you and just wants to guide you, and find someone who has a product that's similar to yours."
She argues that there is a common misconception that creating products is a "get rich quick" scheme.
"Unfortunately right now, most of them aren't very profitable," she said.
So how do you turn patents into profits? By getting moms to sell to fellow moms. After all, mothers represent a $2.4 trillion market, and if something as simple as a mop makes their lives easier, they'll buy it.
"Moms create solutions, not just products, they create solutions," Shelley said.
That means that while mom is staying home, her products are going global.
'It's very rewarding," Tanya said.
Rewarding. Profitable. Most importantly, made by mom.

MADISONVILLE, La. - The St. Tammany Coroner's Office says a woman found dead in Bayou DeZaire in Madisonville Tuesday morning died from drowning and blunt force trauma to the head. She's identified as 37-year-old Katrina Toole from Tickfaw.
The Sheriff's Office said the body was in the water between a large boat and a pier along the water's edge. At the time of the discovery, the water temperature had dropped to dangerously cold levels and the body was in a place that made escape from the bayou extremely difficult.
Investigators have determined the woman had been dropped off at the boat – which belonged to a friend – Monday evening. The boat's owner called to have the Sheriff's office check on the woman after he could not reach her on her phone Tuesday morning.
The investigation into the woman's death is still ongoing; however, there were no signs of a struggle on the boat and investigators have not uncovered any other indications of foul play.

ATK-SE sets a new standard for nanoscale device simulations! Faster than DFT, allowing for larger systems, and featuring a unique capability to calculate how electrostatic (metallic and dielectric) gates influence the electron transport. And that's just the beginning...!
To download the new release, please go to the Download page.
See below for detailed information on
New features and advantages of ATK and VNL 2009.06
More about Virtual NanoLab and NanoLanguage 2009.06
Extending the platform: support for external codes (GPAW)
Comparing ATK-SE and ATK-DFT
Even relatively complex calculations, like a current/voltage curve of a graphene nanoribbon transistor, can be completed in hours, rather than days as with DFT.
Right: The transmission spectrum of a graphene nanowire under bias, computed with ATK-SE and set up and computed in VNL 2009.06.
In the new electrostatic model introduced in ATK 2009.06, you can include any number, shape, and configuration of gates, both dielectric and metallic. The gates are described fully self-consistently electrostatically, which allows for a realistic simulation of transistor-like structures. The gates are treated as continuous regions, while the transport system is described fully atomistically, and thus this is the first step in the development of next-generation multi-scale models of nanoscale device structures.
Right: The geometry of the graphene nanoribbon device visualized with VNL. Within the central region there is a dielectric region (brown transparent region) and below this a metallic electrostatic gate (light blue). The contour plot shows the electrostatic potential for a gate potential of 1 Volt and a bias across the nanoribbon of 0.2 Volt.
The semi-empirical description corresponds effectively to a single-zeta basis set, but offers similar accuracy (or better!) as a double-zeta polarized ATK-DFT basis set. Therefore, you can do larger calculations without compromising the accuracy.
Right: An (8,4) carbon nanotube resting on two metallic electrodes. The transport system contains 1,440 atoms in total. By modulating the electron density in the central region via the 3 metallic gates, which are screened by the dielectic region, band-to-band tunneling can be observed, as shown in the lower picture which depicts the valence and conduction band edges along the tube [1]. Different colors correspond to different gate voltages on gate B in the top right picture. All calculations were performed using a preliminary edition of ATK-SE 2009.06.
[1] H. H. B. Sørensen, P. C. Hansen, D. E. Petersen, S. Skelboe, and K. Stokbro, Efficient wave-function matching approach for quantum transport calculations, Physical Review B 79, 205322 (2009); also available as arXiv:0804.4306v3
Specifically, ATK-SE uses the extended Hückel method, and since the Hückel parameters have been fitted to the correct band structure, the semi-empirical approach avoids the band gap problem of DFT and gives a correct band structure of semiconductors.
Right: Band structure of Si, computed with ATK-SE 2009.06.
The 2009.06 package introduces the next generation of QuantumWise's graphical user interface, Virtual NanoLab (VNL) and the scripting interface to ATK, NanoLanguage.
VNL is designed to support the ATK work-flow as conveniently as possible for the user. This latest edition introduces several improvements compared to earlier version, but the main objective remains the same, to help the user in setting up, running, and analyzing the calculations.
For more details about the new features, see below!
See below for details!
VNL is designed to support the ATK work-flow as conveniently as possible for the user. This latest edition introduces several improvements compared to earlier version, but the main objective remains the same, to help the user in setting up, running, and analyzing the calculations. VNL 2009.06 contains
As can be seen, some components known from the older versions of VNL are yet missing, these will be included in subsequent releases.
The scripting interface to ATK, NanoLanguage, also continues to evolve. In this release, the "grammar" of the language, the logic of how to set up calculations and geometries, has been updated and improved, and this means that things work a little bit differently compared to earlier versions. The changes are however quite small and easy to learn.
All calculations, structures, etc are stored in NetCDF files, in an open format. The same file is used for storing the results of a calculation as for the self-consistent density which can be used to restart the calculation or perform post-scf analysis. The contents of the NetCDF files can easily be inspected in VNL, or third-party tools.
The 2009.06 version also includes support for running GPAW from VNL (and NanoLanguage). GPAW is a grid-based DFT code developed at the Danish Technical University, and is specifically designed for applications within catalysis and surface science. More information can be found at the GPAW home page and in the manual.
The native interface to GPAW is the Atomistic Simulation Enviroment (ASE), which comes pre-installed in NanoLanguage 2009.06.
QuantumWise plans to add support for other external calculators in future editions of VNL. This will expand the range of usability and create a platform solution, where different codes can share definitions of e.g. structures, while providing a uniform interface to setting up calculations and visualizing the results.
The new package uses a new licensing platform compared to the older releases; QuantumWise now uses Sentinel RMS from Safenet. It is our hope that this will mean less administrative burdens for the end-users in managing the licenses. A license is required to run the software; please fill out the trial request form for details!
ATK-SE should be seen as a complement to ATK-DFT, and not a replacement of it.
After all, DFT is more accurate at describing structures involving unusual combinations of elements, or atoms in new configurations. On the other hand, the semi-empirical approach (specifically, ATK-SE uses the extended Hückel method) avoids the band gap problem of DFT since the parametrization is fitted to the correct band structure.
A method which involves parameters, as the extended Hückel model does, is only as good as its parameters. QuantumWise has therefore taken great care to provide parameters that give an accurate description of typical systems that users would like to study. Most notably, this includes various semiconductor structures like silicon, graphene, nanotubes, etc. The results obtained with these parameters are just as accurate as for DFT, but as noted above the calculations are much faster!
Therefore, which code that provides the best solution for a particular problem may require some careful considerations. QuantumWise will of course offer customers advise and consultation to aid in making the choice.
For the moment, this initial releaes of ATK-SE also has some limitations compared to ATK-DFT, that should be considered:
QuantumWise highly values feedback from users. It's the only way we can continue to evolve the products in a direction that provides increased value to our customers. If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, or any other kind of feedback about our products, please contact us!
We hope you will all enjoy working wit ATK-SE as much as we enjoyed making it (and using it - we also use our own products extensively)!

LONDON (AP) -- Tim Cahill secured an FA Cup replay for Everton against Sunderland after the Premier League sides drew 1-1 in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
Phil Bardsley fired Sunderland into a 12th-minute lead at Goodison Park with a long-range strike but Cahill equalized 11 minutes later.
Nikica Jelavic's header from Leighton Baines' cross was going wide, but Cahill nodded the ball on past goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.
Everton was frustrated in its search for a winner, with Mignolet denying John Heitinga and Jelavic late on.
Later Saturday in the cup, Tottenham hosts Bolton. There are two Premier League games on Saturday, with Fulham taking on Swansea and Wigan facing West Bromwich Albion.
