Almost 20 members of the group spent several hours last week purchasing toys, clothes and other items on the wish lists of 100 area foster children.
"This is the one project that we look forward to more than any other," said Beth Shumate, a senior buyer with Alabama Power. "Going through the store, reading their lists and picking out the items gives me chills. I know how much these things mean to the children we are helping."
Shumate even brought her 10-year-old son, Sam, to the Jasper Walmart Thursday to help with the project.
"I like helping out," said Sam, a student at Sumiton Christian School. "I've helped for several years and enjoy it a lot."
The children being helped by the project are determined by the Walker County Department of Human Resources. A wish list with the child's first name and age are supplied to APSO by DHR. The APSO volunteers then use the lists to pick out $150 worth of items for each child.
"We are always excited to do this. It is a huge blessing," said Pat Maddox, an administrative specialist with Alabama Power. "We hold fundraisers all year to get up the money to buy for the children. We have a gold tournament, a bass tournament, and we are currently selling pecans. Anything we can do to raise money, we do it so we can provide these children with a good Christmas."
Once the items are purchased, Maddox said they are bagged and given to Walker County DHR who then delivers them to foster families so they can give out the items on Christmas morning.
"We're just so happy to be able to help," Maddox said.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Roma and matches between Wasps and Roma over the years.
They'd secured the bonus point well before half time and led 33-13 at the break after scoring five tries. They went slightly off the boil in the second half, before adding three late tries, against a Roma side which was much more competitive than it had been on home territory back in October.
The result puts them ten points clear of Racing-Metro, who visit Bayonne this weekend, before taking on Wasps next Thursday night. They need a bonus point win in the Basque Country, to have any hope of progressing. If they manage that, they'd need another bonus point victory over Wasps. Even then, a losing bonus point would take Wasps through.
Wasps made one late change to their squad. On the bench, Rob Webber was replaced by Tom Lindsay.
Despite the extreme weather conditions which had hit the Wycombe area, the pitch looked in superb condition, thanks to the magnificent efforts of the Adams Park ground staff. The only concern, as kick-off approached, was the thickening mist. Mercifully, it lifted well before kick-off and visibility was excellent as the game began.
Wasps had a glorious chance to go ahead, after just two minutes, when a jinking counterattacking run by Mark Van Gisbergen found space down the right. Lachlan Mitchell made his way into the 22, with support on either side. He chose to pass inside, to Steve Kefu, but the centre knocked on, with the line at his mercy.
The full back soon produced another scything run, to set up a good position, but the opportunity was lost when skipper Serge Betsen was unable to hold a pass on the Roma 22. It was no surprise when the Roma line was finally crossed in the 8th minute. After a penalty kick to the corner, patient play by the forwards set up a great position for the backs and Tom Varndell came into the line. He spun out of a series of tackles, and was then helped over the line to score his tenth try of the season between the posts. Danny Cipriani added the extra points.
Within two minutes, the visitors drew level, after scrumhalf Giulio Toniolatti took a quick tap near the line to catch the defence napping, and centre Juan Gauthier crossed for an opportunist try, which was converted by Maximiliano Freschi.
It took just three minutes for Wasps to regain the lead. Following a lineout near the corner, Mitchell's fine run was stopped just short of the line, the ball was recycled quickly and Bob Baker crashed over for his first senior try, which Cipriani was unable to convert.
Freschi narrowed the gap to 12-10, with a penalty, after 18 minutes. Wasps came straight back and could have scored their third try, after a powerful run by Hugo Ellis. They created an overlap on the left, but fullback Paulo Buso deliberately knocked on, to cut off the scoring pass. The referee played advantage, and Cipriani hoisted a kick towards Paul Sackey's wing, but the ball bounced over his head and into touch. The referee then sent Buso to the sin bin.
Varndell came close to his second try, in the left corner, being stopped on the line. He couldn't find Mitchell with his inside pass and the ball was touched down by the defence. Wasps' third try came on 23 minutes, following excellent work by James Honeyben. He spoiled Roma ball from a scrum near their line and fed Dan Leo, who forced his way over. Cipriani's kick made it 19-10.
The bonus point try came on 28 minutes, after another dazzling run by Van Gisbergen. The ball was spun out along the backs, Dan Leo joined the move and passed to Sackey who was at top speed when he received the ball, and he raced over for a superb score near the corner, which Cipriani converted with an excellent kick.
With seven minutes of normal time left, Freschi, who had just attempted an ambitious drop goal from inside his own half, reduced the deficit with a long-range penalty. Wasps wasted no time in responding, after Kefu split the defence to send George Skivington crashing over near the posts.Cipriani was again on target to add the extra points and make it 33-13.
Although the chilly conditions had produced a series of handling errors, this had been an enterprising half, with Wasps showing plenty of attacking intent and producing some flowing rugby.
Freschi landed the first points of the second half, with another penalty, after 43 minutes. A blistering run by Honeyben took play deep into Roma territory but there was nobody in support.
Eight minutes after the break, Wasps were forced into a substitution, when Paul Sackey, who'd gone down in a crunching collision, a few minutes earlier, left the field, to be replaced by Ben Jacobs. Several minutes of sterile rugby followed, before Steve Kefu burst out of the Wasps 22. He had Tom Varndell outside him, but play was called back, as the referee had spotted a forward pass.
George Skivington and Hugo Ellis made way for John Hart and Will Matthews and Wasps immediately tried to attack from near their own line, but Ben Jacobs couldn't hold an awkward pass. Wasps finally found their way out their 22, when the visitors were penalised, and Cipriani found touch on the ten metre line.
The next Wasps substitutions brought Dom Waldouck into the action, in place of Steve Kefu, and Gabriel Bocca replaced Martin Rice. The home side finally found their way into the Roma 22, and a long pass from Cipriani was gathered by Van Gisbergen, who sent Varndell in at the corner, for his second try of the night. Cipriani missed the difficult conversion.
Waldouck then produced a brilliant piece of play, to come inside and send a kick downfield. He won the race to the ball, but, couldn't quite ground it, just before it went dead, and he was denied an outstanding solo try. Will Matthews then burst out of a maul and kicked downfield. Varndell did well to gather the ball, near the Roma 22, but the defence was back in numbers, and he was unable to complete his hat-trick.
James Honeyben, who'd had an excellent game, and was deservedly named Man of the Match, was replaced by Mark Robinson with eight minutes left. Dan Leo scored his second try, when the ball squirted out of the Roma scrum, and he was on hand to dive over. Cipriani's conversion made the score 45-16. There was still time for Dom Waldouck to bring up the half-century, when he stooped to gather ball from his toes, before racing through for the eighth try of the night.
Wasps' next home game will be on Saturday 30th January when they take on Llanelli Scarlets, in the LV=Cup. The match kicks off at 5.45 pm - book tickets now on 08452252990.

News: Jay-Z's "Occupy All Streets" T-Shirts Not Aiding Wall Street Protests
Saturday, Nov 12, 2011 8:38AM
Despite the hype behind Jay-Z getting behind the current Occupy Wall Street protest courtesy of a new line of "Occupy All Streets" t-shirts, new reports claim the monetary benefits will not fuel the movement.
Although the hype continues to build, Jay's new retail shirts will not benefit protestors.
Rocawear isn't going to share its wealth. A Rocawear spokesperson sent us a statement confirming there's no plan to distribute any of the profits, which will surely pour in from shirt sales, to Occupy Wall Street: The 'Occupy All Streets' T shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement. (Business Insider)
The shirts are reportedly being sold for just over twenty dollars.
The "99 percent" have got money problems -- but Jay-Z's got none. The millionaire rap mogul is set to make a mint by hawking T-shirts based on the Occupy Wall Street anti-capitalist movement. The shirts bear the words "Occupy Wall Street," with red graffiti spray altering the slogan to read "Occupy All Streets." They went on sale yesterday for $22 on Jay-Z's Rocawear Web site. The music star -- comfortably among the richest "1 percent" of Americans that is the focus of the protesters' rage -- has not committed to giving any of his T-shirt proceeds to the drum-beating beatniks occupying Zuccotti Park. (New York Post)
Earlier this week, Young Hov was spotted rocking the shirt at his Madison Square Garden, New York City concert.
Jay-Z isn't trying to Occupy Wall Street, he's trying to Occupy All Streets. While backstage at his Watch The Throne concert, Jay rocked an "Occupy All Streets" t-shirt, as he snapped a few pictures with his good friend Russell Simmons. Jay-Z and Kanye West told us that somebody watch the throne, and the critics should have listened. DETAILS: Jay-Z & Kanye West "Watch The Throne" Tour Dates While backstage at their Watch The Throne concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Jay-Z and Kanye were presented with platinum plaques for selling over a million records for Watch The Throne. (Global Grind)
After showing support for the Occupy Wall Street NYC movement last month, where protestors are publicly opposing corporate power, rap mogul Russell Simmons hinted at a massive rap protest next year.
"In a minute, we'll pick a date and we're going to bring all the rappers and the community," Simmons exclusively told XXL. "I think I'm going to have to do it. [The protestors] are going to be here all winter. We'll pick a date that we can go up there with 100,000 people or so and do what we have to do. I think it has to be spring. I think that's a realistic time." This comes after Simmons told XXL last week that he'd be willing to go to prison over this, as he believes in the movement that much. Protesters have been clogging Zuccotti Plaza for over a month now, trying to take and balance out power from the powers that be in Washington and have the wealthy 1% give them back to majority 99%.

Bathroom tile color combination
I am planning to do a remodeling of our master bathroom and I got an inspiration from the following post: http://www.houzz.com/photos/94...ary-bathroom-toronto. I liked the idea of the big mirror and the mosaic around it. I would like to use some of that kind of a mosaic in our shower as well. So far I found the following attached tile combination that I am thinking to use in the shower (disregard the dark cherry color on the left). We are going to have dark espresso cabinets. My questions:
1)Is this combination look fine to you?
2)Not sure which tile color to choose for the bathroom floor. Should I don't think I should go with a dark color considering that we will have dark cabinets?
3)Not sure what to choose for the shower floor.
4)How to apply that mosaic in the shower space. I don't want to have too much of it there.
5)We are going to have a bench in the shower, so I am not sure if I need to decorate that bench somehow.
Sorry for a lot of questions but I am not that good with visioning things
Thanks a lot!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Veronikam11,
??? Any particular bathroom shot of the photos?
Does the larger tile have some cream in it or is it white? (White shades can clash.)
Any reason you don't want to go white or cream on both the shower and b/r floor?
Personally, I would do a horizontal stripe with the mosaic and probably go either white or cream on the bench (like the floor).
Good Luck! All, JMHO.
I think, It is depend on your bath room texture. Before choosing bath tiles you must pay attention to color, size and shape when choosing tiles. Don't just select a single tile but instead find several different tiles that complement each other well...
All Is Well
According to me bathroom tiles should be light colored as it gives spacious looks to your bathroom. It lights up to the bathroom also you can choose the grey or some pastel shades....
For More Info Visit: Easy access showers | Easy access baths
Visually, I like your tile choices for the shower, but there are details of your space that are unknown. Generally, the shower flooring tiles are no larger than 2" and come in rounds, hexes, squares, pebbles (river rocks). Do avoid lots of grout on the shower floor. Stay clear of ultra trends. Your choices appear contemporary. The mosaic pieces can be used to create a horizontal band at eye level or a a wide vertical band where the fixtures are placed. If a niche is in your design plan, the smaller mosaics can be used there along with bullnose to border it. Check bath supply showrooms for design inspiration.
BTW, the mosaic pieces can be carried onto the bench perhaps on the face of the seat with the larger tile on top. Play on graph paper with your design.

Scarlet fever, also known as scarlatina, is an infectious disease that causes a rash. It is associated with an infection by streptococci, the same kind of bacteria that causes strep throat. It may also be associated with wounds or burns that become infected. The rash of scarlet fever is typically a fine, "sandpaper-like" rash that consists of small, red bumps.
Scarlet fever most commonly occurs in children between 5 and 12 years old. It is spread from direct contact with a person who is infected, usually through secretions from the mouth or nose.
Scarlet fever is caused by toxins that are produced by bacteria called group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS). These bacteria release a toxin that travels through your child's bloodstream and causes a rash.
The following are the most common initial (before the rash develops) symptoms of scarlet fever. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Sore throat
Coated white tongue
Strawberry-like appearance of the tongue
The rash begins approximately one to two days after the initial infection. The red, fine, sandpaper-like rash typically is noted on the neck, forehead, cheeks, and chest and then may spread to the arms and back. The rash usually begins to fade after two to seven days.
The symptoms of scarlet fever may resemble other skin conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
Your child's doctor will make the diagnosis based on a complete medical history and physical exam. The rash of scarlet fever is unique and may be easily recognized by your child's doctor. In addition, your child's doctor may order a throat swab to confirm the diagnosis of strep throat as the source of the scarlet fever. A quick test, called a rapid strep test, may be performed. This may immediately test positive for GABHS. However, if it is negative, part of the throat swab may be sent for a throat culture to further identify if there is any GABHS present.
Treatment for scarlet fever is the same as for strep throat. Your child's doctor will often prescribe an appropriate antibiotic to treat the infection. Untreated strep throat or scarlet fever can lead to several serious conditions involving the heart, kidneys, and liver. When the heart is involved, it is called rheumatic fever, so it is very important to finish the full course of antibiotics. Other treatment options may include:
Warm saline mouth gargles (to relieve the sore throat)
Acetaminophen or ibuprofen (for fever or throat pain). Never give aspirin to a child, it can cause a dangerous condition called Reye Syndrome.
Increased fluid intake
It is important to not send your child back to school or day care until he or she has been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours. Also, be sure to notify others who may have been exposed.

When the boat-show season ramps up each fall, we begin sensing trends within the industry. As we gather details for our annual preview, those vague feelings solidify. For instance, this year, we included a category new to these listings — dual-console boats. Manufacturers have seen the need to blend multiple family uses into a fishing vessel; the DC fits that bill.
You'll also see a few reintroductions of boats that were announced in 2012 but never brought to market. A few more are heavily updated models whose builders chose not to rename the lines. This year, we present 34 new boats — from an 18-foot skiff to a 47-foot express.
To start shopping, just visit a builder's website, attend a local boat show, call a dealer or look for more coverage under the Boats tab above.
LOA The technical definition of LOA (length overall) includes bow pulpits, outboard engines and swim platforms. Many builders play fast and loose with this figure. We list the LOA the manufacturer supplies, and we order the boats in each category from shortest to longest.
BEAM The manufacturer takes this measurement at the boat's widest point, which might or might not be amidships. Longer boats have greater beams. More beam (relative to length) usually means more stability at rest, as well as more interior space. On planing hulls, a wider beam sometimes means a rougher ride in a head sea.
DRAFT This measures a vessel's depth below the water's surface. Draft for outboard-powered boats generally is measured with the engine tilted up. Manufacturers measure inboard boats to the bottom of the running gear.
DEADRISE AT TRANSOM This is the hull's angle in degrees, as measured at the aft-most portion of the vessel. It also is one indicator of how smoothly a boat rides in a head sea. Greater deadrise can mean a better ride, though other factors also influence ride quality. As the deadrise angle increases, however, the hull tends to become less stable at rest.
WEIGHT (Displacement) Weights quoted for inboard boats include the engine(s). For outboard boats, we listed dry‑hull weights — no engines, fuel or equipment. When calculating trailering weight, don't forget to add engines, trailer, oil, fuel and all your gear.
FUEL We list standard-equipment fuel capacity only. Many companies offer larger or additional tanks as options.
MAXIMUM POWER The National Marine Manufacturers Association and the U. S. Coast Guard determine what the maximum horsepower should be on a small boat.
MSRP We asked the boat manufacturers to provide a base-hull price. But, in many cases, boats come prerigged from the factory with power and trailers. We have noted the differing prices accordingly in the chart.

NEWBURYPORT — The March meeting of the Greater Newburyport Edible Garden group will feature Debbie Richards and Lillabeth Wies, who will present a description of permaculture and its approach to a sustainable future. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 25, at 7 p.m. at 27 Cherry St.
They will cover topics, such as:
1. What is progress?
2. What is a natural garden, and why does it work so well?
3. Why do our landscapes need so many outside inputs and take so much human labor? Because most of our landscapes do not feed into the natural cycles.
4. Let's see how we can work within natural systems in our landscapes so that they support themselves and us with less work from us, provide us beauty, serenity and a harvest; and at the same time protect and purify the air, water and regenerate the soil.
5. Bringing our soil back to life: Follow nature's lead
6. Bringing our gardens to Life: Follow nature's lead
Richards is a local organic gardener with 35 years of developing an outstanding Family Food Farm.
Wies is the owner and operator of Landscapes by Lillabeth, LLC, an organic permaculture landscaping company. She has an master's in ornamental horticulture and 34 years experience in landscaping and gardening.
The Edible Garden group was formed by community members who are interested in getting together to learn and share information about sustainable food growing — veggies, fruits, nuts. The meetings are focused on building community resilience through increasing the availability of safe, nutritious, sustainably-grown local food. For more information contact Deb Carey at firstname.lastname@example.com or 978-388-5629.

How does the demand for the graphic design come?
It is early that the fashion changes in an age today. Moreover, the thing of color convenient [nna] has gone out one after another, and life has become convenient, too. Then, the thing's that has been used naturally up to now having disappeared before one is aware is in the current state in which a lot of things have happened, too. For instance, it is felt that the number of advertisements inserted to the newspaper and the magazine by the thing that the Internet has spread decreased. Moreover, it is felt that it has changed it into the age borrows in the age when iPod etc. spread and CD is bought. I think that what should be of work changes variously of course, too. The direction place of demand has changed with the rat-tat.
Then, how for the graphic design?Demand might not change so much for this work. For instance, I do not think that the demand such as handbills and posters decreases. There are a lot of media such as handbills of posters such as concerts and plays including the advertisement of the magazine and the newspaper and the enterprises that still stick to paper, too. Because the package design etc. of the new item announced one after another in addition are the work of the graphic design, I feel demand far from decreasing there is increasing. It is work to display the graphic design and dusting not only paper in addition but also on Web ..not doing…
I think that it is work terrible because the graphic design is work to adapt oneself to it well, and to always say state-of-the-art though gets on the flow in the age well. From paper to the Internet. Such a change can be followed. I do not think the demand for the graphic design to be decreasing.

Those outfits are so cute! I was searching for a boys tuxdeo suit for my nephew. I was wondering does anyone have any opinion on http://www.blacknbianco.com ? Their prices are very good, but I'm just scared about the quality. Especially for a little new born.

lol must have been nice to be able to walk home after birth.. I don't like sleep sacks, at ALL. Our skinny baby was forever riding them up, and they were such a pain. I prefer nice warm body suits, with a onsie underneath. It was very cold, windy, and snowy when we left the hospital. We had purchased most of her clothes in 0-3 months instead of newborn, becuase i had a feeling she was going to be big no matter what the doctor told me. But i brought a body suit in 3-6 months along with us by accident, and its a good thing because she didn't come anywhere near to fitting in the 0-3 month bodysuits or onsies. Once i was able to get up and walk around for more then a few seconds, about a week after her birth, we had to repackage all of the onsies and bodysuits we had purchased, washed, and folded nicely in her drawers, and take them back to the store to exchange for 3-6 months. This next time, I'm going to wait until after the baby is born to buy them all. I don't feel like having to do all of that again.

Sleepsacks are just a pain in the hoof in general. Even in a stroller you have to scrunch it up to fasten the harness. I agree that they're not a good idea for a coming home outfit.

I never thought of the sleep sack option either because I assumed most people went home in cars, but a friend used a sack because she and her husband walked their baby home in a buggy. They lived within blocks of the hospital.

sleep sacks are not a good option for the going home outfit. you have to scrunch them up in order to snap the baby in the seat. and, i don't like anything that snaps up the back. it seems uncomfortable for the baby and a pain for mom and dad when dressing such a little floppy bundle.

Tampa Bay offensive tackles Derrick Deese and Kenyatta Walker and linebacker Jeff Gooch did not play due to injury. Anthony Davis replaced Deese on the left side, while rookie Chris Colmer subbed for Walker at right tackle. Ryan Nece started at strongside linebacker in place of Gooch.
In his post-game press conference, Bucs head coach Jon Gruden said that he had no new injuries to report, which was the best possible news as Tampa Bay looks forward to the 2005 season opener at Minnesota on September 11.
Anthony "Booger" McFarland returned to action after taking two games off to grieve for his deceased mother. McFarland, who started at under tackle for Tampa Bay, was disruptive in limited action and helped force an interception by David Carr with some good pressure in the first quarter.
"It felt good to get back out, get back out here with my teammates," McFarland said. "Obviously, we've got a big group of guys who love playing together, love being together, so it was just good to get back out and laugh it up, play it up and have some fun out here playing the game that we love."
McFarland finished the game with one tackle.
Tampa Bay's offense and defense got off to its fastest start of the preseason against Houston in its 38-14 win. Buccaneers cornerback Juran Bolden stepped in front of a David Carr pass to end the Texans' first drive and set up a Tampa Bay field goal. Carr was picked off again on the next drive by cornerback Ronde Barber, which set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Mike Alstott to give Tampa Bay a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Bucs outgained the Texans 83 yards to 9 yards in the first quarter, which was a far cry from last week's game at Miami in which the Dolphins marched down the field on Tampa Bay's starting defense and scored a touchdown on the opening drive to take a 7-0 lead.
Tonight's outing against Houston was similar to the fast start Tampa Bay experienced against Tennessee when they turned their opening drive into a touchdown against the Titans and the Bucs' starting defense forced two turnovers on Tennessee's first two drives.
With 10 points tonight, the Buccaneers starting offense has now scored 23 points in the preseason. The 38 points Tampa Bay put up tonight was 13 points less than the 51 points the team has put up through three preseason games combined.
Penalties continue to be a problem for Tampa Bay this preseason as the Bucs were flagged for nine infractions for 65 yards. Tampa Bay had a total of six penalties called in the first quarter alone, although an offsides penalty on linebacker Marquis Cooper was declined.
The penalty situation was ridiculous on one series in particular when the Bucs were flagged three times quarter - a false start (Juran Bolden) a holding call (Will Allen) and a false start (Marquis Cooper) - while trying to get off a punt with 8:30 remaining in the first quarter.
Houston was penalized 11 times for 82 yards tonight.
Through four preseason games, the Bucs tallied 32 penalties for 268 yards. That's an average of eight penalties for 67 yards per preseason game. If that number were averaged out over the span of 16 regular season games, the Bucs would be flagged for a team-record 128 times for 1,072 yards.
After making it a priority in training camp, the Buccaneers defense recorded 11 turnovers this preseason, including four against Houston in their 38-14 win over the Texans. Cornerbacks Juran Bolden, Ronde Barber and James Patrick each recorded an interception against Houston, while cornerback Blue Adams recovered a fumble caused by linebacker Marquis Cooper.
Barber's interception came with a bit of drama as he tripped over linebacker Derrick Brooks, who had fallen to the ground, and wound up fumbling the ball. However, the loose pigskin was recovered by linebacker Shelton Quarles.
The Bucs could have had two more as linebacker Josh Buhl dropped a certain interception in the fourth quarter and linebacker Barrett Ruud and safety Kalvin Pearson were fighting for a jump ball in the third quarter and wound up knocking the ball out of each other's hands.
Barber and Bolden led Tampa Bay in turnover plays this preseason. Barber picked off two passes and forced a fumble. Bolden had the interception against the Texans and also recorded a forced fumble and a fumble recovery against Jacksonville.
Tampa Bay's defense averaged just under three turnovers per game in the 2005 preseason.
The 38 points Tampa Bay put up against Houston was the most points scored by a Bucs team under Jon Gruden in the preseason since the Pewter Pirates beat the Texans 34-3 at Raymond James Stadium in 2003. ... A 47-yard interception return for a touchdown by Bucs cornerback James Patrick in the fourth was overturned by instant replay. The ball was spotted inside the 1-yard line. Two runs by running back Derrick Watson on the game's final two plays netted zero yards. ... The 327 total yards amassed by Tampa Bay against Houston was the highest offensive output of the preseason for the Bucs. Tampa Bay rushed for 96 yards and passed for 231. ... The Buccaneers rushed for 468 yards and three touchdowns on 118 carries (3.9 avg.) in the preseason. The improving Tampa Bay rushing attack averaged 117 yards per contest. ... Bucs kicker Matt Bryant finished the preseason 3-of-4 in field goal attempts with a long of 52 yards, while Todd France wound up 4-of-4 with a long of 49 yards. ... Tampa Bay's first-round draft pick, running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, rushed 48 yards on 12 carries (4.0 avg.) during the preseason. Earnest Graham led all Bucs rushers this preseason with 158 yards and two touchdowns on 36 carries (4.3 avg.). ... New Buccaneers acquisition, defensive end Andrew Williams, saw action at left defensive end in the fourth quarter and helped record Tampa Bay's only sack of the game, splitting it with defensive tackle Bryan Save. ... With the 38-14 win against Houston, Tampa Bay finishes the 2005 preseason 2-2.

The scholarly series Van Gogh Studies provides a platform for research into late 19th-century and early 20th-century western European art.
Van Gogh : New Findings

208 pagina's, 108 illustrations
hardcover, € 45
Wbooks, Zwolle/Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 2012
Part 4 of the Van Gogh Studies series
This book is available in the online shop
This fourth volume of Van Gogh Studies demonstrates that there are still discoveries to be made about Van Gogh and his art.
A formerly unknown Van Gogh letter is revealed, as well as surprising news about the apartment that he and Theo van Gogh shared in Paris. A flower still life in the Kröller-Müller Museum, of which the authenticity was doubted, has been subjected to new, rigorous investigation that confirms the attribution and even unveils a second, long 'lost' Van Gogh painting underneath. By contrast, it seems that the works of art in the collection of Adrianus Marijnissen, which were ascribed to Van Gogh, can now be traced back to the amateur artist Willemina Vincent. In a new interpretation of Van Gogh's Tree roots (1890) it is argued that it must be one of his last works, if not the very last one. Finally a contemplative essay about Van Gogh as a thinker and writer sets out the artist's credentials for a position within nineteenth-century Dutch literature.
Alongside the 'New Findings' in the Van Gogh research, articles about Paul Gauguin's Breton girl spinning (1889), the contrasting world-views within French Realism, Alfred Roll's La grève de mineurs (1880), and an essay on the American artist Eanger Irving Couse, whose photographs and paintings document the lives of Native Americans, place the Van Gogh findings in a broad nineteenth-century context.
Louis van Tilborgh, Senior Researcher at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is Guest editor of this thought-provoking issue of Van Gogh Studies.

Paul Gauguin's Vision of the Sermon (1888), one of the iconic works of the late nineteenth century, continues to provoke profound reassessment and interpretation by art historians, and it is central to this third volume of Van Gogh Studies.
Dario Gamboni discusses the painting as a self-reflexive work dealing in visual terms with issues of perception, cognition and representation; Juliet Simpson addresses the art critis Aurier's contribution to the promotion of Gauguin as the exemplary symbolist artist; while Rodolphe Rapetti examines Emile Bernard's artistic response to Vision of the Sermon in the context of Rosicrucianism; the Belgian art world's critical reaction to this and other works by the artist is meticulously described and analysed in Elise Eckermann's essay; while June Hargrove presents a challenging vision of Gauguin's portraits of his 'alter ego' Meijer de Haan.
Other contributions include Sandra Kisters's examination of the way the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen functioned as a role model for the Museé Rodin in Paris; Richard Thomson's discussion of the diverse ways in which French artists working in the early Third Republic responded to contemporary concepts of 'la psychologie nouvelle'; and, finally, a fresh view of nineteenth-century illustrations, including caricatures, offered by Patricia Mainardi.

Vincent van Gogh was a voracious reader. In his letters he mentions more than 150 authors and at least 200 works from the Bible to religious poetry and from Charles Dickens to Emile Zola.
This second volume of Van Gogh Studies, Van Gogh: A Literary Mind examines Van Gogh's literary journey as it emerges through the 1100 references found in his correspondence. It is an exploration of the literary universe of a passionate reader, in constant search of texts that could be applied to his own reality.
Having worked on the Van Gogh Letters Project, Wouter van der Veen has made a close study of the most important texts referred to in Van Gogh's correspondence, and has come to the surprising conclusion that Van Gogh was seldom influenced, in the sense that many art historians have argued, by what he read but rather regarded literature as a mirror that reflected and confirmed his own views.

The first issue of Van Gogh Studies reveals the breadth of contemporary research in late 19th-century art. Robert L. Herbert presents a study into the research on Henry Nocq, a friend of Toulouse-Lautrec, about the relationship between fine and the applied arts in the 1890s. Joan E. Greer sheds detailed light on the publication of Van Gogh's letters in the Belgian modernist periodical Van Nu & Straks in 1893.
Robert Jensen and David Galenson's contribution focuses on the 19th-century French art market. Louis van Tilborgh researches and dates Van Gogh's stay in the studio of Fernand Cormon and Elise Eeckermann, June Hargrove and Catherine Boyle-Turner provide remarkable studies into aspects of Gauguin's work and life.

For much of Sunday's match at Toyota Park the New England Revolution were being embarrassed. Then all of a sudden they were right back in the mix and the Chicago Fire were panicking. It was a strange match, but what else would be expected of two terrible MLS teams that were eliminated from the playoffs a long time ago playing in front of a sparse crowd just because the schedule says they have to. In the end, Chicago just barely held on to grab a 3-2 win that maybe 14 people cared about.
It took just five minutes for the Revs to put themselves in a hole. Patrick Nyarko was played through on goal and Matt Reis came out to try and get the ball, but he got there late. Reis clipped Nyarko, giving the referee no choice but to award the penalty, which Sebastian Grazzini coverted.
Once again, New England's back line couldn't track the Chicago attackers and Dominic Oduro got in behind the defense. He had no problem rounding Reis and tapping the ball home to double the Fire lead.
New England wasn't done letting players get in alone on goal though. Nyarko did it again and Reis, afraid of taking down another attacker or handling the ball outside the box, took an awkward stab at the ball. It was ineffective, allowing Nyarko to push the ball past Reis and then finish for a 3-0 Fire lead after just a half hour.
Finally in the 90th minute, the Revolution showed life. Sean Johnson was unable to collect a long ball, spilling it to the top of the box. With him in no man's land, Ryan Guy had a simple chip to get the Revolution a goal.
After needing 90 minutes to get one goal, the Revs needed just 90 more seconds to get a second goal. Diego Fagundez played a good backheel to Milton Caraglio, who fed Guy in front for the simple finish and it was a 3-2 game.
Despite getting something going in extra time, the Revolution couldn't find an equalizer and after an awful 90 minutes, they didn't deserve to.

Titleist is proud to welcome Colt Knost to the team as one of our newest full-line ambassadors. Colt recently turned professional after a remarkable summer of amateur golf that saw him capture the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Amateur Public Links Championships, as well as play a key role on the victorious United States Walker Cup squad. Colt made his professional debut last week at the Valero Texas Open, where he finished T49 with a 3-under 277 total. He'll be making his second start this week when play gets underway in Las Vegas for the Frys.com Open.
Colt's Titleist equipment consists of: Pro V1x golf balls, 907D2 driver (8.5°, Titleist Spec Grid by Aldila 67X shaft), 735.CM irons (3-P, True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts), Vokey Design wedges (prototype 54°, Spin Milled 60° T-grind, True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts), and Scotty Cameron by Titleist prototype putter. Click here for some photos of Colt and his Titleist equipment.

I saw Colt play in the US Amateur at The Olympic Club which he won with what seem to be the same clubs in his bag. Super nice guy who signed autographs for the kids after his match. Even overheard one of the TV commentators say off the air that he was rooting for Colt. Glad to see that he stuck with what brought him so much success. He'll be a great Titleist ambassador!

If the Isis Oceanic was the band as an important and distinctive character in the metal world, Panopticon has intensified its efforts to further expand outside the borders of the world, and it is a mighty successful in business. If I had to deal with some frame of reference, I guess I would say that Panopticon combines the high ambitions of the spiritual tool of cosmic instrumental sound of Mogwai, and (sometimes) the plodding seriousness of Mastodon, Isis, but still pending a musical vision of its own. Everything about this album is ePIC: epic music, epic vocals, epic arrangements and, above all, epic song lengths. These guys are clearly out to attract the attention of the audience, as these seven tracks clock trip in about an hour. Compare this to Pig Destroyer's latest effort, at 21 tracks with over 32 minutes, and you can see, you are responsible for a harrowing listen.
due its further development, Isis Panopticon looks even better on their metallic fury tempering with some heavy doses of maturity. It is hardly unprecedented for major bands to inject extended passages of relative calm in the music (see Opeth), Isis, but still remarkable how seamlessly they manage to mix so many different elements. Their songs are not just arbitrarily move from one sound to another, they shrink and recede from heavy to lighter passages and back, the administration, a single mood, whether they are idling about you or beating you over the head. How Oceanic while Panopticon is divided into individual tracks, it is essentially an extended atmospheric piece, with a free-form structure, more on exploration and experimentation than its predecessor. Although Panopticon is still quite difficult, Isis now have all but abandoned their Neurosis-style Depression-metal sound for a looser, more grandiose feel, and I must say that it is very good.
Since Panopticon is generally not as hard as its predecessor, it stands to reason that Aaron Turner's vocal intensity should be adjusted to, and he has, in fact, take a notch here. It is obvious that Isis destination for a diverse and far-reaching sound, and Aaron is helping them along here by extending its range beyond his typical monotone. The huge, thudding roar that it will be a major impact on the Oceanic is still in evidence in some places, but also mixes Aaron much cleaner, even melodic, singing. By and large, they are pretty solid, if unspectacular, even if Isis's vocals have always been more about the music than on their own anyway.
Of course, since Panopticon is still largely instrumental as Oceanic, the song usually backseat anyway. Your dual-guitar attack is in general and in the middle, which is as it should be, as some of the Panopticon provides tremendous guitar work in recent memory. While there are some tricky polyrhythms here to find Isis's guitar sound is more about atmosphere than anything else, with the two axes into each other perfectly, a great wash of sound by a mixture of thundering riffs and delicate tonalities.
The drums is a plus, as well, since it rather technical, but more about promoting the general atmosphere than anything else. Sometimes, even across borders metronome, usually something like a Downer, but here it is only in the hypnotic feel that the guitar and vocals to create. Even the bass is represented here by a beautiful, loping Rumble, which is remarkable, even if only for the fact that so much of this genre lacks bass presence.
Although I this album a hearty recommendation, should note that I did not for all. The persistent mood and persistent mid-tempo pace will certainly be fascinating to some as boring and of others who are not entirely inappropriate. As we have seen, on this side, some people just not the big deal over an hour-long album that never seems to change speed. That is, if you're looking for something else, something sophisticated, something that is difficult, but not in the traditional "metal" way can be much worse than Panopticon. This is a must for the adventurous rivothead.
With the release of 2002 Oceanic, I knew this band was really amazing for something that, if it is not already. The manner in which they had from their previous albums kind anticipate what their next album may bring. This album is much softer than in previous versions, but I assure you, it's still metal. You may have noticed Oceanic started this trend, with a little more clean vocals, some clean instrumental parts in the songs, and fewer raw hardcore totally chaotic guitar madness. Panopticon continue with more clean vocals as before. The clean vocals are rough and usually not so harmonious (but they have improved a lot since Oceanic), but they are best that way. And Isis' vocals are usually "behind" the music instead of "before" of IT, the more on the music. If you already Oceanic, you probably know what I mean. Most of the album, as Oceanic is for (I would say that around three quarters). This has much more progressive, complex, unpredictable song structures, the band shows the sheer depth and intensive development. Even though the guitars are usually not as difficult or hard for so long, they have so much more depth and complexity. There is a lot more post-rock instrumental passages, such as clean, for a kind of post-metal sound.
This great masterpiece starts with "Did we," which is a candidate for one of my top 25 or 50 songs (not that I want). It is probably the best new song I've heard this year, and even my favorite song so far Isis. It recalls that Isis is still made of metal by using a stomping riff heavy and sudden hardcore-style vocals. This is for a very short time, until the gravity abruptly stops and makes way for one of the best instrumental passages Isis created. Then it will be harder again with some good clean vocals. Then for a further five minutes, is nothing more than instrumental, keep it on the modification and the relocation and development … could not be better. When you finally get to the end of this song, it sounds absolutely nothing, what it did when it started, that's how music should be.
"Backlit" starts very melodic and very of Isis have done everything and continue on this path, it's a brave new direction for the band. There are a lot of clean vocals here, which actually sound good and melodic, including a part where he was switching between hardcore and clean (probably the best part of the song). This song continues with many instrumental parts with some exceptional melodies and the song ends with a bombardment of gravity.
"In Fiction" begins very quiet, kind of like "weight" on Oceanic. He adds that, according to rhythm and layers, and no voice for the first 4 minutes. Then it starts to live with the addition of some clean vocals and keeps amazing progress. A very solid song. It cleverly shifts right into the "Wills Dissolve", which also starts quietly with a slightly eerie feeling pensive, and then a very haunting, melodic clean surfaces – even a completely different direction for the band. Also, the song unfolds steadily, until he has a full sound with vocals, and there are some pretty good, simple (for a change) clean vocals here.
The previous song to the next behind the back (a feature that more and more epic albums makes, in my opinion). "Syndic Calls" is a very well constructed song, the beginning is just that certain Isis vibe that I once in a while. It is a small section with vocals and then an interesting instrumental part. If this song is almost over, there is a small amount of clean vocals over heavy guitars, at the perfect time to the song. The construction of this part is just great. I must say, these are some of the most powerful of Aaron Turner's clean vocals and is probably the best he has done, although it only lasts like 30 seconds. This song is definitely fast, it definitely does not seem like his 9 and a half minute.
"Altered Course" is a 10-minute instrumental, which features Justin Chancellor of Tool on bass guitar. This song has a very, very long time to grow on me. I was very impressed by him at first. It seemed very random and directionless, but now I can sense the progression and complicated structure behind the song. There are some sweet riffs at the beginning, but the song is more ambient air slowly towards the end and fades. Some may think it just drones too long with very little change, but I think it builds a great atmosphere. "Grinning Mouths" begins suddenly and is another without singing for the first 4 minutes. The first 2 minutes or so a heavy instrumental, and then makes it softer with some great melodies. The reef starts at about 4:45 on for the rest of the songs, after a while the voice added, and the reef is always harder and faster until it breaks itself really ends the album with a bang.
I think fans of Tool who are not in a much more obscure music Isis still really enjoy this album especially. They have some similarities with the tool (and are a member of a band playing on this album) and a few notches on the heavier side. I also think fans of Godspeed You Black Emperor, also in other metal, would really appreciate this album. If you are a fan of Isis for a long time and said that they have great potential … This is where the potential it has. All the potential was bundled and released on the album. You have, of course, most bands do, I think for the better. Well, the big question: better than Oceanic? Well, it is very difficult to say. Some people love and hate this Oceanic. I have not really seen that the situation is reversed. But many people like them. I personally think that Panopticon is a little better, but it is still difficult to say at this point.
3.0 out of 5 stars
I'm not disgusted
I was well prepared to hear some really mediocre music when I decided to give Panopticon a listen, but instead, it's not the worst choice for someone looking to hear some (mostly)…
5.0 out of 5 stars
Can anything top Oceanic?
In 2002 Isis hit the seas. Now they're talking about prisons. I always imaginated a "panopticon" with the warden at the center of a honeycomb of cells.
Just heard this band on the last tour tool. Was very intrigued by their sound, and although it does not really sound awesome live – given the number of instruments playing at the same time (or maybe it was the place) – I kind of found out what they are trying to do. So I bought the album. I was not disappointed.
Post-Rock, Post-Metal, what you want to call them. I personally think this is where rock meets metal. So if you like both, they will like this album. It is clean and death vocals. Song structure is very progressive-oriented, with each song gradually to a first simple melody or song or riff. They sound a bit like Agalloch, the latter being more metal-oriented, but similar concept. People who like ISIS should try Agalloch The Mantle.
I really like the first two songs a lot. I've played countless times. The rest of the album is good but not outstanding – this is the reason why I did it 4 stars.
As for the vocals, if you have a black / ambient metal head, you will not understand what people are talking about when they say they are "weak". The guys on some tracks, growling and clean vocals on others. Granted it has no classical singer or something, singing, but here are "behind" the music, and should be used as another instrument.
This is definitely one to buy for people who have contributed to a variety of ambient-oriented metal and tool and are looking for something new. Nice.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An Epic Auditory Experience
As an avid Isis fan, I may be bias. However, Panopticon is by far their best work yet. Blending the intense sounds and coarse vocals with technical harmony and mind-blowing…
5.0 out of 5 stars
Alternately melodic and majestic
Panopticon sees Isis alternate between magnificent, heavy, distorted guitars / growling vocals and quieter, melodic clean guitars with slightly dodgy cleaner vocals.
1.0 out of 5 stars
First Isis CD
Panopticon is my first Isis cd…and probably my last. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I got this, but I sure wasn't expecting an instrumental CD.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Soaring Majestic
I first heard of ISIS in the magazine Revolver's issue of the 50 heaviest bands of all time. ISIS was something like 12th on the list, and having never heard of them I decided…
5.0 out of 5 stars
Post Metal Bliss
This was the first Isis cd I bought. It was also my first step into the world of Post Metal or as Aaron likes to put it "Thinking Man's Metal".
4.0 out of 5 stars
The band still gets 4 stars, but the album is closer to 3
I find this album very easy to diagnose, once I put it in my headphones and got a moment alone with it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
So, Panopticon arrives in the mail along with around twenty other albums that were purchased around various recommendations that were made in passing by a few fellow forum-goers…
1.0 out of 5 stars
Lame Tool rip-off
Somehow these guys landed the opening slot for Tool this summer. They sucked……hard. They are nothing more than a bad Tool cover band.

Marcie Blane Radio
A singer who crossed the teen idol sound with a light girl group flavor, Marcie Blane had one huge hit, "Bobby's Girl," which made number three in late 1962. The single was saccharine, but incessantly catchy, with its low tremeloed guitar riffs; doofy male "You're not a kid anymore!" backup interjections; and Blane's wholesome vocals, preceded by some melodramatic spoken lines. She released about half a dozen other singles on the Seville label, several written, like "Bobby's Girl," by the Klein-Hoffman team. None were hits, though, and none were remarkable, falling into the most lightweight sector of the girl group trend. ~ Richie UnterbergerPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Concussions are back at the forefront of the NFL again this week. The Chicago Bears lost two players to concussions last night in their nationally televised game, quarterback Jay Cutler and defensive end Shea McClellin. The Philadelphia Eagles lost QB Michael Vick and the San Francisco 49ers lost QB Alex Smith earlier in the day. Brain trauma is by no means a new thing in the NFL, but with 3 starting QBs going out on the same day, it's back as topic #1.
Windy City Gridiron has been on top of the concussion discussion for a while now. We took a look at the HIT System, and whether it should be used in the NFL. We wondered if the modern helmets are to blame for some of the reckless play. We looked at the inherent risk involved by professional athletes, and we had the opportunity to talk to the representatives of the PACE program to discuss the ImPACT System.
The NFL has already announced the Bears handled the Jay Cutler concussion situation properly, and be sure to follow our Cutler story stream all day for breaking news on the matter.
On to some more Thoughts...
1) New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez was never a world beater, but he has regressed this year. At this point is there any reason not to make a change to Tim Tebow?
2) The fake field goal that the Ravens ran with a 41-17 lead against the Raiders may seem classless at first glance, but the play was put into the game plan to beat a specific overloaded look from the Raiders. The Raiders were still playing football, and were trying to desperately block the FG by sticking 8 players on one side, so the Ravens did what they planned to do.
3) I think the New York Giants are so accustomed to peaking at the end of the year, that their 6-4 record and the 31-13 beat-down in Cincinnati won't even faze them. They still may be the most dangerous NFC team come playoff time.
4) What Minnesota's Adrian Peterson is doing after his knee surgery is freakish to say the least. As a Chicago Bulls fan, I can only hope Derrick Rose has as a recovery on par with Peterson's.
5) Are the Detroit Lions done now?
6) With their 4th win in their last 5 the New Orleans Saints are back in the playoff hunt after an 0-4 start. And with the way they and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing, I'll bet the Atlanta Falcons are feeling some heat in the NFC South.
7) Even though Miami's Reggie Bush took the high road after being benched for fumbling, I thought it was an asinine move by Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin in the first place. What message was Philbin sending to his team with the benching, considering that his QB, Ryan Tannehill, threw 3 interceptions on the day?
8) The St. Louis Rams have only themselves to blame for their tie against the NFC West leading 49ers. They had that game won twice in OT before dumb penalties erased their hopes.
9) The Bears lost to the best team in the AFC by only 1 score, they had a -2 turnover margin, and they played the second half without their starting QB. And some Bears fans are ready to call the season over... #SMH
10) I wrote the following on another thread in response to those that called B.S. on the Chicago Bears waiting until halftime before determining Jay Cutler had a concussion. I felt my Thought was worth sharing here, plus it's cool to block quote ones self;
To say that it's ridiculous that the symptoms didn't start showing up til halftime is ignorant. I've been around my fair share of concussions both as a player and as a coach. It's not the easiest thing to determine. Sometimes the visible wooziness comes later.
I'd imagine pro athletes are even harder to diagnose, because they are conditioned to never show pain. The sideline test is as simple as checking the eyes, and asking a few questions, and watching the player to see how they carry themselves. If the training staff didn't see any obvious symptoms immediately, there was no reason to pull him.
In the perfect world, yes, any hard blow to the head would require the player to immediately come out of the game. On the youth level this is exactly what happens. USA Football has done a ton to educate youth coaches and players on the dangers of brain injuries. And hopefully the education will start to change the culture in football.
Until the newly knowledgeable kids of today are the NFL players of tomorrow, the warrior mentality of the football player will remain when it comes to concussions.
The "getting your bell rung" and "shaking out the cobwebs" should be a thing of the past. The brain is nothing to mess around with.
I was hoping our resident commenting Doctor would chime in on the subject, and WCG member akn did just that (the bold is mine);
The sideline test is fairly comprehensive.
The NFL's sideline assessment tool is publicly available (I have a pdf of it if you are interested), and is based on a 2009 Zurich conference on concussions. The consensus statement from that conference is regarded as the modern baseline for real world sports medicine practice related to concussions. That sideline protocol takes at least 10-15 minutes to administer, if not longer. It would be impossible to do it every time someone got hit in the head, and it wasn't designed for that. In fact, performing the full sideline assessment every time someone (running back, DB, linemen) got hit in the head or took a bit hit would create many false positives.
What you described (checking eyes, quick cognitive assessment, etc.) is closer to the immediate on-field test before the player even gets up. If there is anything suspicious about that assessment, the player is pulled and the sideline test is done. Not all symptoms manifest right away. If Cutler later complained about a headache or a coach noticed him being a bit slow, then they would pull him and initiate the sideline protocol.

Lighting designer Mike Duncan (Mbd Designs) recently finished a tour of Australia and New Zealand with The B-52s, for which he designed "a textured, layered look with some '60s op-art thrown in for good measure," he says.
Melbourne-based lighting vendor Phaseshift Productions provided the gear for Duncan's design, which included an MA Lighting grandMA console running 20 Martin Professional MAC 700 Wash units and eight Martin MAC 700 profiles. Duncan reports having "a real fondness for the Martin MAC 700 series of fixtures. I'm a very big fan of Martin products in general," he says. Additional gear in Duncan's rig included 12 Pixel Range PixelBrick Micro wash units, four Martin Atomic 3000 strobes, six ETC Source Four ellipsoidals (19° and 26° units), 30 PAR64 NSP units, four 4-Lite Molefays, and two 2K xenon FOH followspots.
Frontier Touring/Roundhouse Entertainment Co. coordinated logistics for the tour, an experience Duncan says, "actually made the tour itself very easy. We had two complete systems and stages that we leap-frogged between cities. The only real challenges came when we had to use other lighting/audio vendors for logistical reasons. Even then, it went really smoothly."
Additional personnel for the tour included crew chief Troy Brown and lighting technician Jay Davis.

PEABODY — A Lynn man was arrested on a kidnapping charge yesterday afternoon after an altercation at the Northshore Mall.
Austin Lane, 25, of 181 Hamilton Ave., Apt. 2, Lynn, was arrested on charges of kidnapping, domestic assault and battery, and two counts of witness intimidation.
A woman reported to police at 1:47 p.m. that her friend and her friend's boyfriend had an altercation near P.F. Chang's China Bistro and that they'd left the area five minutes before, possibly headed toward Salem.
In Salem, police checked for the suspect at 10 Becket St. at 2:27 p.m. but reported that he wasn't home. Then, around 3 p.m., Lane was arrested at that location. A woman he was with at the time of his arrest was "extremely uncooperative" and declined police assistance, according to Salem's log about the incident.
Lt. Richard Callahan said Lane wouldn't let his girlfriend out of the car during the incident, leading to the kidnapping charge.
