The Salem News
---- — It is difficult to determine what makes a madman tick. With some, it is possible to detect a method to their madness.
But with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, there doesn't seem to be any method at all. Indeed, to Western observers, the entirety of the laughably named Democratic People's Republic of Korea seems more like an open-air lunatic asylum — the primary difference being that, with an asylum, someone with a connection to reality is in charge of the keys.
Kim Jong Un has inherited the keys to the Hermit Kingdom from his father and grandfather before him. But at 29 or 30 years old — it is unclear whether he was born in 1983 or 1984 — he is struggling to prove he can keep them. So, as has been the usual practice in North Korea for years, Kim is ramping up the bluster against the West and, specifically, the United States.
The problem today is that North Korea can back up its ranting with nuclear weapons.
North Korea has been a confirmed nuclear power since 2009, with some tests dating back as far as 2006. The country conducted its most recent nuclear test in February. The North also has rockets that can reach as far as Alaska, and it is working on the development of true intercontinental ballistic missiles.
For years, we here in the United States have been told that, while North Korea may have bombs and missiles, it cannot put the two together for a credible long-range nuclear threat. Last week, however, congressional testimony suggested that the Pentagon believes North Korea may indeed have made nuclear bombs compact enough to be carried on their rockets.
That makes the North's recent bluster all the more worrisome.
The Korean War of 1950 to 1953 never officially ended; a cease-fire agreement has held, more or less, for these 60 years. Last month, Kim declared that the armistice is no longer valid and that a state of war exists again between the North and the South.
As our intelligence sources report the preparation of missiles at North Korean launch sites, Kim's rhetoric grows more heated by the day. North Korea's pronouncement last Friday declares that nuclear war is "inevitable" and that Tokyo will be "consumed in nuclear flames."
Perhaps this is all just noise to get for North Korea what Kim Jong Un wants. But just what he wants is difficult to determine.
Is Kim hoping that his threats will yield an end to economic sanctions and increased food aid to his starving country? Or is his act aimed at an internal audience — an attempt by an untested young man to show he is as "tough" as his father and grandfather?
Either way, the United States has little choice but to prepare for the worst.
Nowhere on Earth is the contrast between free-market democracy and totalitarian communism more stark than at the border between the two Koreas. Satellite photos taken at night show South Korea gleaming with electric vitality; the North is as dark as a grave.
Surely, Kim understands that the United States has a vital interest in the continued freedom of South Korea. And just as surely, he must understand that our patience with his antics cannot last indefinitely.
China has long been North Korea's chief patron and likely has little interest in Kim Jong Un's sideshow.
Our best chance for long-term influence in North Korea may be through Beijing.
We have serious philosophical differences with the Chinese government. But at least there we are dealing with rational people.

"Golden Age" (Part 2) Bob Agamemnon Plot : The reasons behind former Kingpin Alexander Bont's vendetta against Matt Murdock are revealed as Bont makes use of Melvin Potter (the Gladiator) to exact his revenge.
"Chaos: Part Four" Andrew Burlinson Brian Michael Bendis and company bring the "Avengers Disassembled" event to a close with this week's Avengers #503.
"Chaos, Part Three of Four" Jason Cornwell Plot: As a small army of former Avengers cluster around the ruins of the Avengers Mansion, we see this collection of heroes is on hand when the place comes under attack from a full scale assault by a Kree invasion.
Jason Cornwell Plot: With the mystery world-wide broadcast being tracked to the in the Russian region of Tunguska we see the Ulitmates form an advance team that consists of Captain America, the Black Widow, and a freelance operative named Sam Wilson.
"Hero's Journey" Jason Cornwell Plot: The book takes a step backwards to look at key events in the life of Hero Brown, in an effort to reveal how she changed from a loving sister into a man-hating Amazon who was looking to kill Yorick.

Jason Cornwell This opening issue does a very effective job of creating a genuinely ominous vibe as we're treated to series of creepy moments that nicely underscore the fact that something very wicked is approaching the Ultimate Universe.
"Chaos, Part One of Four" Jason Cornwell I have to say I entered this issue a with a great deal of concern, as the current line-up of the Avengers contains a number of my favourite characters, and Brian Michael Bendis' claims that he was going to royally mess up the team left me hoping for the best, but truly expecting the worst.
Jason Cornwell: I was a Marvel zombie in my youth, and it wasn't until the "Legends" miniseries that I really became interested in what was happening on the DC side of the fence.

Help us find a home for our raccoon dogs
9:30am Friday 15th February 2013 in News By Sarah Taylor
THIRTY-nine exotic animals may end up scattered across the country if a family cannot find somewhere to home them and their pets soon.
The animals belong to Lynda and Drew Blake, who run Wildside Furry Exotics, in Fernhill Heath, near Worcester.
The couple have found themselves looking for a new family home and place to safely house the animals after their landlord passed away.
But after more than a week of searching for a plot of land big enough to contain all their furry friends the couple are now appealing for someone to come forward and help them out.
Mrs Blake said: "We need to find around two acres of land to re-home the animals and we have to move in the next seven weeks. If we have to close it won't be good for the animals, the community or for us.
"I am brainwashed with worry at the moment. We take the animals to Acorns Children's Hospice once a month and we wouldn't be able to do that. The animals would be scattered around the country with people we know would look after them."
The family run organisation, which is currently applying for charitable status, is hoping to find a piece of land they can rent and purchase when they become an official charity.
They currently have a range of animals including skunks, sugar gliders, raccoons, raccoon dogs, meerkats, a coatimundi, a genet and a kinkajou.
"We hope there is someone out there who can help us," said Mrs Blake.
The animals are next due to visit youngsters at Acorns Children's Hospice in March 26.
Jo Reed, deputy head nurse at Acorns Children's Hospice, said: "Wildside Furry animals regularly visit the hospice and spend time introducing the animals to everyone. It's a wonderful experience that the children really love and we all look forward to."
If you can help, contact Lynda Blake on 07917 612999.

UN condemns M23 rebels capture of Goma
The United Nations Security Council has condemned the capture of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo by M23 rebels.
A statement by the 15-member council said: "(The council) demands the immediate withdrawal of the M23 from Goma, the cessation of any further advances by the M23 and that its members immediately and permanently disband and lay down their arms."
UN experts claim Rwanda is behind the rebellion in eastern Congo and that Uganda has also aided M23.
Both countries deny the accusations.

After failing to place a flag on the grave of the last fallen IDF soldier in Jerusalem's Mount Herzl military cemetery, and being slammed with criticism that this was done because that soldier is not Jewish, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gentz issued an apology on Thursday evening to anyone who was offended by the incident.
Before Remembrance Day for the Fallen of Israel's wars, which will be marked on Monday, it is customary for the chief of staff to place a flag, in the military graveyard on Mount Herzl, on the grave of the last IDF soldier who fell.
The statement added that IDF procedures have been updated and that in the future, the chief of staff will place the flag on the grave of the last fallen soldier, regardless of the soldier's religion, race or gender.
Meretz chief Zehava Gal-On had accused Gantz earlier on Thursday of not planting a flag on the grave of the latest IDF fallen soldier, Evgeny Tuluzko, because he was not Jewish.
"Mourning is equally difficult among Jews as it is among non-Jews. It was not necessary to add to the family's grief through alienation grounded in an ugly discrimination of blood which also contradicts basic democratic principles," Gal-On said.
Gal-On added that the fact that the fallen soldier was not Jewish "did not hinder the state from asking him to sacrifice himself for its sake, yet upon his death [the state] casts him 'beyond the fence' [of the cemetery] and refuses to pay him his final respects."

Bottle (2006)
Thanks for opening this with me, UCLABrewN84!
(Aged for 6 years)
Clear light amber with some carbonation and a small white head that leaves dots of lace down the glass.
Sweet, fruity aroma of apple juice and bready malt.
The sweet flavors are similar to the aroma, with an earthy and sweet apple juice flavor playing the largest role along with bread and simple grain. Low bitterness.
Medium bodied with low carbonation.
Good enough, and far better than I anticipated.

Bottle I brought to share at DarthKostrizer's tasting.
2006 vintage.
Pours a clear brown with a khaki head that settles to a thin cap on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, apple juice/cider, and some slight vegetal aromas. Taste is the same along with some slight brown sugar flavors. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is actually a pretty good beer that has held up for 6 or so years. If I was given this blind, I would never guess it was an AB product.

Bottle is from 2006.
This is not the Dopplebock
I am not a beer snob. This means I wil try all kinds of beer, and last winter I saw this odd Budweiser bottle for sale. It said "Brewmaster" and "Private Reserve" so I had to try it. For the money, I wouldn't buy it again. I could stick to 12 oz Bud, and not miss this at all. It was worth the try though, and the bottle is being used for my own Homebrew now.
Pour: Lager clear medium golden in color, with a moderate white head, abundant lace. Fair carbonation
Smell: Very sweet, malty smell. No real hop scent to speak of.
Taste: Moderate alcohol presence, caramel, honey, and malt. Not incredibly complex, but it is a clean taste.
Mouth feel: Very wet, easy to palate. Pleasant.
Drinkability: Slightly better than the typical Budweiser lager. I could drink a few of these on a hot day.
Serving type: 1 Quart 14.5 oz black champagne type flip top bottle

Huge flip top bottle.
Poured a medium amber color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of corn and graininess. Generic tasting, malt liquorish (is that a word?).
I wrote down; it takes some balls to label this as your premier, Brew Master Private Reserve beer.

Review from Inaugural Issue of Beeradvocate Magazine.
This is A-B's take on the brewmaster's holiday tradition, where they take the fi rst runnings of sweet wort and ferment a big, bold beer out of it. Speaking of big, the bottle is enormous!
Beer pours a shimmering, clear, golden color, a good white head from the start, and a semi-stick lace for the rest. Suggestions of honey, whole-grain bread, grainy animal feed and a clean perfume-like alcohol and hop collaboration make up the aroma. Very smooth mouth feel, a touch creamy in the fluffy body. Flavors of Portuguese sweetbread and a barleymalt syrup, not condensed wort, hone in on the taste buds. Alcohol warms a bit more after each sip, lending a strawberry-like flavor. The hop bitterness is enough to balance, but the herbal flavor is more interesting. Aftertaste lands semi-sweet, with a rough grain, herbal hop and the complexities from the alcohol.
So with 46.5 ounces of high-alcohol brew on our hands, what else is there to do but drink it? Actually several brats were steamed in this brew--a good pairing, no doubt. It's not a malt liquor, not an over-hopped Double Pilsner, and certainly not the bigger brother of Budweiser. It's a tasty, big-ass American All-Malt Lager in a big-ass bottle. Enough said.

I thought a good Anheuser-Busch beer was an oximoron but I was proved wrong! I was lucky to get the last one of these in the liquor store I used to work at. Enjoyed it chlled in a pint glass. Poured a rich golden color with a decent head. Smell of cereal grains and some light hops. Taste was chewy with a bread dough quality but soft enough on the tongue to mask the 8.5% ABV. I was impressed and raise my mug to Bud. Nice swing topped bottle also.

This is a great Beer. I have bought at least 1 every year for the last 3 years.
A - Pop lock top is a nice touch, don't see it allot on American beers. Pours a Medium dark Amber color.
S - I have brewed some home beer and this smells allot like the wort which I love. Also it smells like I just walked in to a brewery and got all the great smells.
T - Very smooth despite it's %8.5 Alc. This is what Lager should taste like. Just enough carbonation
M - A little tingle from Carbonation but not like drinking soda. Smooth and clean.
D - I could drink this all night...and have! the %8.5 will catch up with you sooner or later but over a very great beer. Wish it was brewed all year long

Presentation: Large 1.5 L champagne style bottle, fliptop. Nice looking label. Born on date of Oct 11, 05. This one is obviously old, but its been kept in a stable fridge.
Appearance: Pours slightly hazy yellowish orange color, nice solid head. A bit of lacing on the glass and top of the beer.
Smell: Tons of malt - smells a bit like a bock. A bit of caramel there too, and some alcohol, especially as it warms up a bit.
Taste: Interesting - medium bodied, smooth carbonation level. Nice malty flavors - there is a bit of hops in the background but the malt flavors dominate.
Overall impression: This is a surprisingly interesting beer. I didn't try it fresh, but the age doesn't seem to have harmed it. Very smooth and drinkable, a bit dangerous considering the ABV!

Poured a dark amber color. Very thin white head. No real lacing to speak of. Very clear beer.
Smelled of raisins and figs. Some honey. Some brandy and sherry notes in the nose.
Really complex flavors. Figs, raisins, dark fruit, and some honey on the front palate. Some burnt malt flavors on the back palate. Really long finish.
Moderate carbonation with a rich full mouthfeel. Flavor totally coats your mouth. Insanely drinkable.

Poured a deep straw hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was good retention and lacing.
The smell featured a sweet malt, honey and a smattering of noble hops.
The taste was upfront sweet honey with a background of cereal grain and a mild hop spice.
The mouthfeel was toward the fuller side for the style with a slight warming alcohol.
Overall a tasty lager. I only wish I had sampled this one a bit earlier. In any event a nice brawny brew from A-B.

a: In a standard pint, gives a low off white head of which a stubborn layer persists for a minute or so...light ring after. The beer is a clear, rich apricot-golden in color.
s: Nice blend of pale, sweet malts and papery hops. Various fruits including melon and apricot. Leans towards the sweet side.
m: Medium carbonation and a body on the lighter side of medium.
t: Richer than Bud for sure, but not a whole lot more complex. Clean light barleys and maybe some corn give a moderate sweetness somewhat unchecked by the light, nondescript hops. More hops would make this much better.
d: ok, ABV hidden but a little too sweet for an easy drinking lager
Closely resembles what one would expect from an Imperial Bud. Huge bottle to the face gets blackie a bit disoriented. Review entered from notes taken a couple months ago in the forest. Had been "cellared" awhile since Christmastime.

2.8/5 rDev -20.2%
Appearance - a slghtly hazed pour with a honey/straw color. A brief build-up of head reduces to a stray swirl of bubbles within a minute.
Aroma - strong grain with a cereal bend, heavy aroma of something tropical but not hops. Coconut? Has a malt liquor nose.
Taste - sweet, grainy, Budweiser cereal flavor, basically a Bud on 'roids. The alcohol is kinda out there on its own without much to enhance. Hmm, an Imperial American Macro Lager. Not very pleasant to me, about as much as any malt liquor. The swallow has the briefest bit of bite, then this aftertaste that is wet, grainy, bleh.
Mouthfeel - moderate to slightly thin body, decent carbonation even after popping and resealing a few times.
Drinkability - to each their own, I didn't like this one. Props to A-B for hitting the bigger beer scene, but this just tastes like amplified rice to me.

3.5/5 rDev -0.3%
Appearance: Clear medium golden in color, with a moderate white head, abundant broken lace, and mild carbonation.
Aroma: Sweet alcohol, honey, and light caramel, very sweet, with little hop presence.
Taste: Mild hops at the open, with a moderate alcohol presence, and caramel and honey malt, midway through the taste, there are some restrained fruity esters. Finishes clean and dry.
Mouth feel: Smooth, quite soft on the palate, quite pleasant.
Drinkability/notes: Not bad, really, like a refined example of a malt liquor. At $15 for a rather large, decorative bottle, it seems overpriced for what it offers.

Absolutely enjoyed this beer and not at all like Bud. I still have a few left over from Christmas that I saved to last as long as possible this year... that's how much I liked it. Look for it after Thanksgiving this year and try it, it won't dissapoint!

LB Jelani Jenkins is the Gators' star in waiting
By Post Staff
All-American Brandon Spikes won't be in Gainesville next year, but Gator fans need not worry about the future of the linebacker position — Jelani Jenkins has it covered.
Jenkins, the two-time Gatorade Player of the Year from Maryland, was the No. 1 or 2 ranked linebacker for the class of 2009 by the major recruiting services. He's just 17 years old, runs a 4.4 in the 40 and already stands 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds. He's also a bright kid who had a 3.98 GPA in high school while taking honors and AP courses.
Read all about Jenkins' background in the profile I wrote about him for Sunday's newspaper. There's some great stuff in there, especially the story of how Jenkins got offered a scholarship:
"(Urban) Meyer asks me, 'Is he fast? Can he play?' I said, 'No question. He's a player," said Kevin McFadden, one of Jenkins' defensive coaches at Good Counsel High. "We have a slogan at Cincinnati – 'swear on the Bearcat.' If you swear on the Bearcat, it means your word is bond. You put your friendship on the line. So then he asks me, 'Do you swear on the Bearcat?' And I said, 'Oh yeah, on the Bearcat.' And Jelani got offered a scholarship on the spot."
Jenkins has been in Gainesville for six weeks now, and already the results are positive.
Jenkins is living with the other three leaders of the freshmen class: receiver Andre Debose, quarterback Jordan Reed, cornerback Josh Evans. He reported to the Gators at 214 pounds, and is already up to 221, said his father, Maurice Jenkins.
"I'm amazed at the transformation he's made already in a month and a half," Maurice Jenkins said. "He's so much bigger now. He told me the workouts in high school were one thing, but he says it's a whole 'nother level with the workouts."
Jenkins is probably listed behind Brandon Hicks, A.J. Jones and Lorenzo Edwards at weakside linebacker, but Jenkins is being given a shot to prove himself on the punt and kickoff return teams, as well as getting a few reps with the starting defense.
"He said, 'Dad, I feel like a leader on the team already,'" Maurice said. "He's been right up front with the drills. Some of the more influential guys on the team have pulled him aside and told him that he's really doing great. He feels real good about his progress."
Jenkins may not play linebacker in Week 1, but Meyer is not afraid to play freshmen. Jenkins' best attribute is his speed — his ability to chase down ballcarriers from the weakside.
"He's a guy you send off the edge, and if the guy comes at him, that's pretty much the end of the play," said Bob Milloy, head coach at Good Counsel. "And if he goes away from you, if he stops or hesitates, Jelani can run you down from the back side. He can stop the long, cheap touchdown."

Roanoke, VA – About 80 Advance Auto employees spent about an hour Thursday afternoon packing up 10,000 meals for needy kids in Nicaragua.
The event was the result of a partnership with the auto supply chain and "Stop Hunger Now".
The dehydrated meals will feed 100 kids for 100 days at a Nicaraguan school.
"When you think about what you're doing... when you get to touch the lives of kids... that brings it back to all of us," said Amy McArthur, an Advance Auto employee.
The meals were all loaded up and brought back to the group's Lynchburg warehouse.
From there, the employees will wait for 250,000 more meals before shipping the food by boat to Central America.

Musings on Poker and Other Stuff
The Cannes-turberry Tales
While trusting your guts almost always proves the right move, every now and then your guts do you wrong. During a TwitCam with Liv Boeree I promised to reveal my most embarrassing moment....or more like most embarrassing series of events. Liv is going to Cannes this week, which is where the series of unfortunate events begins. Yes, amongst all the glamor and class that is the Cannes Film Festival, I found myself at 20 years old rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood elite.
All in all the experience was incredible. But there were some, ahem, situations. I befriended many people including a very poetic (and kind of ridiculous to me) Spanish film director. He came to my condo one evening and told me he had to leave suddenly and asked me to escort him to the train station. During the Cannes Film Festival there are photographers everywhere, just on the street. So, instead of running to the train station with Javier in my PJs, I decided to toss on a dress and head out the door. In my haste, I forgot some key elements....the key under garment elements.
On my way back from the train station I ran into some Aussies who invited me to the very chic party going on across from the Palais. Only the biggest and most baller events can afford the real estate directly across from the Palais. I protested that I needed to go home and get ready. Eventually it came down to this: either come in now with us, or more than likely don't get let in later. Ya only live once right? Now, if i remember correctly this was a party for the movie Kill Bill 2. As I strolled over the grab my first champagne I spotted several huge names; of course Uma, and Quentin, Michael Moore (LOL), Brad Pitt, and then BOOM, Orlando Bloom. Now, at this particular juncture in 2011 Orlando Bloom is like an after thought. But in 2004, he had just starred in Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. I think he was there because they were screening Troy which also brought along Jen and Brad (YES!!!). Ultimately for me though, in 2004, Orlando was the hottest of the hot. Obviously once I had made him my mate, I would be skyrocketed to success and fame and fortune. So clearly this would all happen with no make up on and no panties on either for that matter.
Let me digress for a moment and share with you that I had recently had a cast taken off my leg. In a drunken debacle I had shattered my heel (one of the strongest bones in the human body) and had on a bright pink cast for what seemed like FOREVER. Luckily though, I was a bi-ped just in time for Cannes. Although I have to admit that leg had become a little atrophied. It was actually hilarious because it was about half the size of my other leg. I was banking on the fact that people were too obsessed with themselves to notice. And I think I was right. Yet, it would catch up with me.
So there I am sipping champagne at the roof top bar. I had several. My thoughts become blurry with glee, 'OMG(which was an expression I actually didn't use then), how did I get so lucky? I belong with these people. Happy. Happy. Joy. Joy.' I figured since there were so many incredible people on the roof, there must be an equal amalgamation of stars to be had on the main floor. I headed for the tiny, every so tiny, spiral staircase that connected the roof to the main floor. It was very modern and steel and did I mention tiny? I'm sure you have already done the math. Champagne+Sarah+mismatched legs+tiny stairs=disaster. Well, my brilliant readers, you are right. About half way down the stair case, which all the anorexic models managed to navigate, I began to tumble. It was so loud on the steel, and of course with me squealing the whole way down. A crowd formed around the stairs from the roof where I came from, and on the main floor where I was hastily careening.
At the bottom of the stairs, I sat (if you could call it that) for a few moments collecting myself and imagining ways to play this off. When I looked straight above me to roof top gatherers...who was peering down??? Mr. Orlando Boom. Or should I say the future Mr. Sarah Grant. While I gazed adoringly up at him I heard some whispers. Everyone in that type situation talks trash about each other. I think it is the only way to have something to say to the constant barrage of total strangers. So, at first it didn't freak me out. When suddenly I realized there was a definite breeze in my nether regions.
BALLS. BALLS. BALLS. Orlando Bloom wasn't looking at me. He couldn't miss the spread eagle show at the bottom of the stairs. Hell, the show was free! Of course I stood up calmly and collected myself. And then ran as fast as my high heels could carry me to the privacy of my apartment. Switch to new inner monologue, 'You are not A-list. You are the Vagina Monologues minus the witty one liners. You were better off when you were driving around those carts at the grocery store because you clearly can't walk. Go back where you belong working on B movies."
I wish I could say that is the end of that story. But I haven't even gotten into what my guts have to do with all of this. I am debating about how much to divulge at this moment. I may have to cover that in my next post. I'm also struggling with my iphoto. Cannes photos to come once I figure it out.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Kansas City Royals have signed catcher Salvador Perez to a five-year contract worth $7 million.
The team announced the deal Monday. The contract includes club options for three more years that could keep Perez with the Royals through the 2019. If Perez reached all the performance bonuses and incentives, the contract could be worth $26.75 million over eight years.
The 21-year-old Perez made his major league debut last Aug. 10 and hit .331 with eight doubles, two triples, three home runs and 21 RBIs in 39 games. He has been chosen as the best defensive catcher in the Royals' organization the past three years.
Perez, who is from Venezuela, was signed by the Royals as a non-drafted free agent on Sept. 27, 2006.

6:30 p.m.
by Scott Leamon
The family of Jennie Agee declined comment after the hearing.
The family's attorney said earlier this week they're doing about as well as can be expected during this difficult time.
Former state trooper Matt Brannock said he was overall satisfied with the sentence, just not quite ready to totally move on.
"I think it'll be on down the road before I can define it as closure," Brannock said. "But each day I get a little closer to that."
Moments before he sentenced Agee, Judge Charles Dorsey recognized both Brannock and state police sergeant Becky Curl, one of the troopers who shot Agee, for their bravery during on that Memorial Day 2011.
11:53 a.m.
From Scott Leamon, WSLS reporter at the courthouse
Judge sentenced Jonathan Agee to three life terms, plus eleven years in prison.
11:10 a.m.
Day two of the murder and shooting sentencing for Jonathan Agee is in a break.
This morning (Wednesday) a steroid expert from Harvard Medical School testified. Dr. Harrison Pope said in his medical opinion, if Agee had not been taking steroids, then he would not have killed his ex-wife, Jennifer Agee.
Both the Commonwealth's Attorneys for Roanoke and Montgomery County then gave their closing arguments. Both Don Caldwell (Roanoke) and Mary Pettitt (Montgomery Co.) both called for Agee to receive life in prison.
Agee's defense attorney argued that the judge should leave open the possibility that Agee could leave prison later in life. Virginia still has a geriatric parole option for convicted criminals when they reach a certain age.
I'll have a full wrap from court tonight on WSLS starting at 5:00 p.m.

BEIJING — Some people are born lucky. Parents in China, however, would rather not leave their kids' fate to chance.
For the past few weeks, many couples have been trying desperately to conceive, racing against time to have a baby in the fortuitous Year of the Horse. Their reasoning: No one wants a baby born in 2015, the dreaded Year of the Sheep.
Sheep are meek creatures, raised for nothing more than slaughter. Babies born in the Year of the Sheep, therefore, will grow up to be followers rather than leaders, according to some superstitions. The children are destined for heartbreak and failed marriages, and will be unlucky in business, many Chinese believe. One popular folk saying holds that only one out of 10 people born in the Year of the Sheep finds happiness.
Health professionals say fertility consultations have spiked in recent months. Some doctors even have expressed worries that there may be a corresponding jump in abortions later this year, as couples realize they missed the horse year cutoff. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the Year of the Sheep (also called goat or ram) begins Feb. 19, 2015, so the window for conception closes around the end of this month.
Many patients have inquired about early delivery via Caesarean section to ensure a horse-year birth, said Li Jianjun, an obstetrician at Beijing's United Family Hospital.
Some doubt the furor will have a notable impact on the Chinese birthrate this year. But the baby-mania is so widespread that the state-run China News Service issued a report trying to debunk the "unfounded" myth of bad luck for those born in Year of the Sheep.
"We try our best to dissuade couples from believing the sheep superstitions," one official at China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention said. The woman, who requested anonymity because she was not authorized to give an interview, said the subject has become such a prominent issue that it's often addressed in classes for would-be parents.

We love the various bars and clubs on the ship and drank lots of great wine. Never had to wait for equipment in the fitness center, nor computer for internet service. We also didn't have any problem getting chairs for sunning. Even though the ship was booked, the only time we felt the crowds was in Fort Lauderdale. I don't believe that was Celebrity's fault, but rather the port as they stuck in an absolutely terrible terminal that wasn't equipped for our size ship.
Celebrity now offers the service of having your luggage checked through to the airline if you are flying out of FLL or MIA. It saved us a lot of grief and we didn't see those bags until we arrived at our final destination.
We plan to sail on Celebrity again and look forward to it.

KEENE — Naj Wikoff has one less role to fill in 2013.
Now, he is president emeritus after 14 years of leading Creative Healing Connections, a nonprofit agency that serves women with cancer and chronic illnesses, as well as veterans and military families.
The organization's mission is to provide creative experiences that promote healing and growth.
"Without his leadership, vision, energy and hard work, we would not be where we are today," Martha Spear, executive director, said in a press release.
Wikoff is succeeded by incoming board president Gail Doering of Saratoga Springs.
"Naj has a certain genius for combining healing and the arts," Doering said. "He created something important that fills a critical niche in our community."
Creative Healing Connections began as a result of Wikoff's experiences with three friends who were living with cancer in the 1990s.
Robyn Korpan, a widow and mother of three, had breast cancer.
"She would take any experimental program for bone-marrow transplant, anything that gave her a chance to live longer. She wanted to live as long as she could to give her children the best possible start she could before she died," Wikoff said.
As Korpan's illness progressed, she made sure Wikoff knew she was still the same person.
"She let me know how important it was to have a safe group of people to talk to about her anger, black humor, anything; she could just express herself," he said.
Wendy O'Neal was an environmentalist.
"For her, nature was so important, to be outside, no matter how sick she was. She and I had a little victory garden together. She had these times she just got together with women. One March, her house was surrounded by women standing arm in arm singing to her," Wikoff said.

You can now watch the progress of the Traverse City Bayfront Project LIVE at home.
The Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce set up a webcam link on their website where you can watch the progress on the $3 million Bayfront Plan project.
The webcam looks down from the 3rd floor of the chamber's office which is across from the construction site along Grandview Parkway.
City Planning Director Russ Soyring said the project will continue as long as weather permits and resume in the spring.
They predict the completion will be mid-June 2013.
Improvements to the area include a splash pad play area, canoe/kayak launch, seating section, beach access, bathrooms and a concession area with a covered pavilion.
Watch the LIVE improvements at the chamber's website which is posted to the left of the story.

Game preview: Outside of Sedin-Sedin-Burrows, Vancouver's forward lineup looks like an AHL squad. The defense is still very good, and they have an excellent goaltender, though he's on the bench for this one. If Krueger was smart, he would isolate that Sedin line against a tough minutes line with Horcoff and Hemsky and let Hall bury Andrew Ebbett, if that's a real player.
Team Reports
Oilers Report: Nikolai Khabibulin draws in for the Oilers. Taylor Hall is still in the lineup so the Oilers can score some, at the very least!
Canucks Report: Derek Roy is on the roster and gives the Canucks a very interesting look. He's an all-zones centre and can take the same sort of load that Ryan Kesler takes when healthy, meaning the Canucks have a second line again. They've stayed at the top of the division despite missing 2/3 of their expect 2nd line for much of the season. The Oilers struggled against Roy when he was in Dallas, if they struggle again tonight, they may be in deep.
Paajarvi fell awkwardly when he was pushed into #flames net. He'll give it knee a go in warm-up. If he can't play, Lander draws in. #oilers— Joanne Ireland (@jirelandEJ) April 4, 2013
Expected Line Combinations
Taylor Hall - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Jordan Eberle
Magnus Paajarvi - Sam Gagner - Ales Hemsky
Ryan Jones - Shawn Horcoff - Nail Yakupov
Mike Brown - Ryan Smyth - Lennart Petrell
Ladislav Smid - Jeff Petry
Nick Schultz - Justin Schultz
Ryan Whitney - Corey Potter

Waterfowl Hunting and Baiting
The following material is only a summary. Each hunter should also consult the actual Federal Regulations, which may be found in Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, available at http://www.fws.gov/hunting/whatres.html.
Baiting Laws
Federal rules prohibit the taking of migratory game birds by the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area, where a person knows or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited.
It is legal to take migratory game birds including waterfowl, coots and cranes, on or over the following lands or areas that are not otherwise baited areas:
- Standing crops or flooded standing crops (including aquatics);
- Standing, flooded or manipulated natural vegetation; flooded harvested croplands; or lands or areas where seeds or grains have been scattered solely as the result of a normal agricultural planting, harvesting, post-harvest manipulation or normal soil stabilization practice;
- From a blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with natural vegetation;
- From a blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with vegetation from agricultural crops, as long as such camouflaging does not result in the exposing, depositing, distributing or scattering of grain or other feed; or
- Standing or flooded standing agricultural crops where grain is inadvertently scattered solely as a result of a hunter entering or exiting a hunting area, placing decoys, or retrieving downed birds.
Who is responsible?
Hunters, guides and landowners are responsible for understanding and obeying regulations about baiting and knowing the conditions of the area to be hunted.
What is baiting?
Baiting means the direct or indirect placing, exposing, depositing, distributing or scattering of salt, grain, or other feed that could serve as a lure or attraction for migratory game birds to, on, or over any areas where hunters are attempting to take them.
What is a baited area?
A baited area is any area on which salt, grain or other feed has been placed, exposed, deposited, distributed or scattered, if that salt, grain or other feed could serve as a lure or attraction for migratory game birds to, on, or over areas where hunters are attempting to take them.
For how long?
An area is considered baited for ten days following the complete removal of all salt, grain or other feed.
What about normal agricultural operations?
Normal agricultural operation means a normal agricultural planting, harvesting, post-harvest manipulation or agricultural practice that is conducted in accordance with official recommendations of State Extension Specialists of the Cooperative Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
What is manipulation?
Manipulation means the alteration of natural vegetation or agricultural crops by activities that include, but are not limited to, mowing, shredding, disking, rolling, chopping, trampling, flattening, burning or herbicide treatments. The term manipulation does not include the distributing or scattering of grain, seed or other feed after removal from or storage on the field where grown.
What is considered natural vegetation?
Natural vegetation means any non-agricultural, native or naturalized plant species that grows at a site in response to planting or from existing seeds or other propagules. The term natural vegetation does not include planted millet. However, planted millet that grows on its own in subsequent years after the year of planting is considered natural vegetation.
Hunting over agricultural land?
Nothing in the baiting regulation "shall prohibit the taking of all migratory game birds, including waterfowl, on or over standing crops, flooded standing crops (including aquatics), flooded harvested croplands, grain crops properly shocked (or stacked together) on the field where grown or grains found scattered solely as the result of normal agricultural planting or harvesting."
Hunting over agricultural land manipulated for wildlife management?
The baiting regulation does not prohibit "the taking of all migratory game birds, EXCEPT waterfowl, on or over any lands where shelled, shucked or unshucked corn, wheat or other grain, salt, or other feed has been distributed or scattered as the result of normal agricultural operations or procedures, or as a result of manipulation of a crop or other feed on the land where grown for wildlife management purposes: Provided, that manipulation for wildlife management purposes does not include the distributing or scattering of grain or other feed once it has been removed from or stored on the field where grown."
Waterfowl and other migratory birds are a national resource protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Federal regulations define key terms for hunters and land managers, and clarify conditions under which you may legally hunt waterfowl. As a waterfowl hunter or land manager, it is your responsibility to know and obey all Federal and State laws that govern the sport. Waterfowl baiting regulations apply to ducks, geese, swans, coots and cranes.
Can I manipulate crops in a field where waterfowl will be hunted?
NO. Federal regulations are more restrictive for waterfowl hunting than for hunting doves and other migratory game birds. While unharvested agricultural crops may be manipulated to attract doves for hunting, manipulation of an unharvested agricultural crop to attract waterfowl for hunting creates a baited area.
What about natural vegetation?
Natural vegetation is any non-agricultural, native, or naturalized plant species that grows at a site in response to planting or from existing seeds or other propagules.
Natural vegetation does not include planted millet (like browntop and Japanese millet) because of its use as both an agricultural crop and a species of natural vegetation for moist soil management. However, planted millet that grows on its own in subsequent years is considered natural vegetation. If you restore and manage wetlands as habitat for waterfowl and other migratory birds, you can manipulate the natural vegetation in these areas and make them available for hunting. Mowing and burning of natural vegetation are common habitat management practices in South Carolina.
Natural vegetation does not include plants grown as agricultural crops. Under no circumstances can you hunt waterfowl over crops manipulated prior to a normal harvest. Nor can you hunt waterfowl over manipulated wildlife food plots or manipulated plantings for soil stabilization.
In South Carolina many hunters and landowners manage native vegetation and planted agricultural crops to attract waterfowl for hunting. The Federal law is different for the management of these two food sources and hunters should pay particular attention to the differences.
Shooting Hours
Shooting hours for waterfowl are 1/2 hour before sunrise until sunset except where noted during early seasons. Shooting hours are uniform statewide.
Legal Shot
The possession of lead shot is prohibited for all waterfowl hunting, statewide. Nontoxic shot (steel, bismuth or other Federally approved shot) is required for all waterfowl hunting.
No shot smaller than no. 2 or larger than F shot is allowed for goose hunting.
Blind Regulations (SC Code of Laws 50-11-25)
It is unlawful to take migratory waterfowl from blinds or positions where the floor level of the blind or the position is:
- more than ten feet above surface level in or around freshwater; or
- more than five feet above the mean high water in or around saltwater.
Airboat Regulations (SC Code of Laws 50-21-860)
An "airboat" means a watercraft propelled by air pressure caused by a motor mounted on the watercraft aboveboard.
It is unlawful for a person to operate an airboat on the public waters of this State from the freshwater-saltwater dividing line, established by Section 50-17-30, seaward.
It is unlawful to operate an airboat on the waters of the Waccamaw, the Great Pee Dee, the Little Pee Dee, the Black and the Sampit Rivers in Georgetown and Horry Counties from one hour before legal sunset to one hour after legal sunrise and anytime during the season for hunting waterfowl.
It is unlawful to operate an airboat on the waters of that portion of Lake Marion and Santee Swamp west of the I-95 bridge upstream to the confluence of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers during the season for hunting waterfowl.
The provisions of 50-21-860 do not apply to the operation of airboats by law enforcement, emergency medical, civil defense, noxious weed control, military personnel, state and federally approved wildlife banding, surveying, biological research programs and private waters.
Duck stamp
If you are 16 or older, you must carry on your person an unexpired Federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp. You must validate your duck stamp by signing it in ink across the face before hunting. You must also have a valid South Carolina Migratory Waterfowl Permit.
FAQ's on Waterfowl Hunting and Baiting
1. Can I hunt ducks or geese over a harvested corn or sorghum field?
Yes, if the field was planted, harvested and any post harvest manipulation was in accordance with official recommendations of the Cooperative Extension Service in South Carolina.
2. Can I harvest part of the corn crop in my pond, leave the rest unharvested, and then flood and legally hunt over it?
Yes. Fish and Wildlife Service Regulations allow you to harvest part of a crop in accordance with official recommendations of the Cooperative Extension Service in South Carolina and legally hunt over the field, provided you do not manipulate the remaining unharvested crop.
3. After a cornfield is combined, is it legal to mow the corn stubble prior to flooding the field?
Yes. The Cooperative Extension Service in South Carolina has stated that mowing of corn stubble is a normal post harvest agricultural manipulation.
4. May I mow part of my unharvested cornfield to create open water areas for ducks to land?
No. If any grain or other feed has been placed, exposed, deposited, distributed or scattered that could serve as a lure or attraction for waterfowl to, on, or over areas where hunters are attempting to take them, such areas would be considered baited. The area would remain a baited area for ten days following the COMPLETE removal of all such grain or other feed. The mowing of unharvested corn (or any planted agricultural crop) for any purpose is an illegal manipulation of the crop and makes the field baited. Other illegal manipulations of unharvested crops include disking, shredding and burning.
5. I planted Japanese millet in my duck pond last year. This year I didn't plant it and I have a "volunteer" stand in the same area, mixed in with the panic grass and other native vegetation. Can I legally mow and burn the millet along with the native vegetation?
Yes. You may legally manipulate Japanese millet (and other agricultural millets) that has sprouted voluntarily the second year after planting. You may not manipulate millets the year in which you plant them.
6. Can I camouflage my duck blind with corn stalks?
Yes. It is legal to camouflage your duck blind with corn stalks provided that your use of the corn stalks does not expose, deposit, distribute, or scatter grain.
7. Can I mow paths through my unharvested corn crop to make it easier to get to the blind?
No. Mowing pathways through an unharvested cornfield or any other unharvested planted agricultural crop is considered a manipulation of an unharvested agricultural crop. Any seed or grain scattered as a result would be considered bait. If you do this then the field is considered baited.
8. If I accidentally knock down corn while going to and from my blind, is the field considered baited?
No. Federal regulations allow for the take of waterfowl over unharvested or flooded unharvested agricultural crops where grain is inadvertently scattered solely as a result of a hunter entering or exiting a hunting area, placing decoys, or retrieving downed birds. Caution is warranted in this situation and you should make all possible efforts to minimize contact with crops. The excessive running of boats or riding across unharvested crops to create paths to the blind can result in a baited field. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reserves the right to make the final determination.
9. Can I turn hogs or cattle into an unharvested crop grown in the field, then flood it and hunt ducks over it?
No. It is illegal to hunt waterfowl over crops that have been trampled by livestock or subjected to other manipulations that distribute, scatter or expose grain.
10. Can I hunt ducks or geese over wildlife food plots?
Yes. However, you may not hunt waterfowl over freshly planted food plots where grain or seed has been distributed, scattered or exposed or on food plots where the unharvested crop has been manipulated by mowing or other means.
11. Can I hunt ducks or geese over a dove field?
You may hunt ducks and geese over a dove field if the grain present is the result of a normal agricultural planting, harvesting or post harvest manipulation. However, if the grain has been exposed by manipulating a standing crop then it would be illegal to hunt waterfowl over the field until 10 days after all the grain exposed by the manipulation is gone. For example: It would be legal to hunt geese and doves over a freshly combined corn field. It would be legal to hunt doves over a cornfield where standing corn has been mowed or chopped, but one could not hunt waterfowl until 10 days after the exposed corn is gone.
12. May I use a portion of my waterfowl impoundment as a dove field and mow down some crop for September dove season then flood the remaining unharvested crop later in the fall for duck hunting?
To be legal in this scenario, the impoundment would have to pass the 10-day rule for baiting. All of the grain exposed by manipulating the crop for doves would have to be gone at least 10 days before the field could be legally hunted for waterfowl. The land manager should be extremely careful when attempting to manage a waterfowl impoundment for both ducks and doves.
13. If I am camping, how many ducks may I have in possession in my camp or ice chest?
The possession limit for ducks in South Carolina is three times the daily bag limit. This is the number you may have in possession at your camp. You can only possess, have in custody or transport the daily bag limit at or between the place where taken (blind) and either; A) your principal means of land transportation (car) or B) your camp. The possession limit does not negate the hunter's restriction to shoot only the daily bag limit in any one day. If you break camp, and are traveling back to your car (principal means of land transportation) by ATV or boat, you may transport your possession limit. Any time you leave camp to hunt, birds left at the camp must have a tag attached signed by the hunter, stating the hunter's address with the date taken and the total number and species.

Thread: Oklahoma Viking Fans
Oklahoma Viking Fans
I remember how much of an influx of Viking fans in Oklahoma we had back when AD was drafted.
Are they still around?
I was pleasantly humbled when I was looking at the NFL Distribution map and saw that the Viking game not only being broadcasted in the regular Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee areas, but was also being shown in Oklahoma as well.
I love the support we are getting from Oklahoma and have to say that Adrian Peterson left one of the largest college legacies ever.

Obituary: Lloyd Singer
Date: August 1, 2012

Need helps.
My company has developed a flash lite application which is designed to retrieve any informations via XML encoded with UTF-8.
With Fl 2.1 installed on S60 3rd (like 3250/N71/N73/5700), It can display Thai font properly.
But on S60 2nd, It doubtfully displays Thai font with strange characters.
I have just read the FL 2.1 specification, it supports displaying any complex languages such as Thai.
Does anyone has any recommendations to fix this problem in S60 2nd?
Thank you.
