An incredible medium for preserving and remembering special times, places and faces which so often fade over the years, photobooks have come into their own in recent years, and in the print-on-demand self-publishing world, Blurb.com is one of the pack leaders. A freelance photographer with a style that's an eclectic mix of photojournalism (documentary) and fine art photography (you can think of it as National Geographic with a splash of Vanity Fair or Elle!), I treasure the opportunity to put together custom photobooks for my clients using the services of Blurb.com.

Sky Harbor's east cellphone lot temporarily moving
Sky Harbor's Terminal 4 cellphone lot is taking a holiday -- sort of.
From Nov. 22 until 6 a.m. on Dec. 4, the lot will be closed in the hopes of easing traffic congestion near the terminal.
In the interim, a much larger cellphone lot has been established on the northeast side of the airport. The temporary spot, north of the east economy parking lot, can handle more than four times the traffic.
The cellphone lot just west of Terminal 2 will remain open.

As you probably know, the movie Deja Vu features a gizmo that can display events from anywhere within a specific area exactly 4 1/2 days in the past.
I recall a story about a similar device which was supposed to be limited to centuries rather than days in the past. A scientist on the project discovers that there is no such limitation and breaks the news that the device can display images from any time in the past at any spatial location. What he doesn't realise is that this will destroy privacy: if you can see what e.g. your spouse was doing one nanosecond in the past, you can effectively spy on them in real time.
Anyone recognise it? I think it was by a pretty high-profile writer.

Our Science – Blumenthal Website
Robert Blumenthal, Ph.D.
Lipid-based Nanocapsules and Triggered Chemotherapy
Our goal is to construct cancer treatment modalities based on the preferential accumulation of drugs and therapeutic agents in tumor sites resulting in enhanced killing of cancer cells. We implement a multi-pronged approach towards this goal. 1. We have developed Radiation Induced and Targeted Chemotherapy (RITCH) for cancer treatment using small hydrophobic molecules that can be turned into tumor killing toxic compounds by targeted radiation and ultrasound. 2. We have designed multifunctional lipid-based nanoparticles that specifically target cancer cells and release their payload when triggered by light or heat. 3. Using lipid model membranes we are investigating mechanisms by which beta hairpin peptides designed by Dr Joel Schneider (CBL, CCR, NCI) exhibiting ant-cancer activity cause membrane damage leading to killing of cancer cells.
Mechanisms of Viral Fusion and Inactivation
Our overall approach is to kinetically resolve steps in the pathway of viral envelope glycoprotein-mediated membrane fusion and to uncover physical parameters underlying those steps using a variety of biochemical, biophysical, virological, and molecular and cell biological techniques in vitro studies with infectious virus and HIV envelope proteins expressed in cells. We are using peptide-based entry inhibitors linked to specific lipids to probe details of the fusion reaction. We have recently shown that conjugation of sphinganine (a precursor of dehydrospingomyelin) confers a striking specificity to the inhibitory potential of a short HIV-based peptide suggesting that sphingopeptides act as double edged swords with both lipid and peptide playing a role in the inhibition of HIV entry. We have developed novel methodologies to study fusion based on photo-induced chemical reactions in the membrane using hydrophobic probes such as Iodonaphtylazide. We are applying this methodology both in the analytical mode (identification of domains of viral proteins and of receptors involved in fusion) and the functional mode (affecting viral protein-induced fusion). Using photo-reactive hydrophobic probes we have found ways to inactivate viral envelope glycoproteins while leaving their overall structures intact. These studies have important implications for anti-viral therapies and vaccine development.

- annsDined on 8/17/2014excellent food glad we tried it. we will gladly recommend it to everyone coming to the area. we come for the del mar fair and racing meet. We will most likely dine a this restaurant again.Special Features:
- Early evening Paciifica ExperienceLouMDined on 8/17/2014Went to the restaurant in early evening following afternoon at Del Mar. Getting seated was a bit chaotic even with reservations. Not the restaurants fault but parking was confusing. The facility was quite nice but needs to provide the diner with more of a dinner house feel and less of a coffee shop environment. We felt like the restaurant operation was a bit robotic. Our food was quite good. Diners should be aware that sea food is obviously the main fare. Service was somewhat inconsistent during our dining experience.Special Features:
- Better than eversksgoldfishDined on 8/17/2014We've been to Pacifica many times over the years, and it has always been good. However, we usually don't think of the food quality as being on par with real fine dining options in San Diego. Our meal last Saturday was excellent. We tried their three small plate special and a silver salmon special. Really excellent. We'll make it a point to go more often now.Special Features:
- Service was poorOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/17/201420 minutes just to put order in (was not busy), order was incomplete, wrong salad, shared side broccolini missing. Altogether we sat for an hour before receiving food, plus another 15 just to get it put into togo boxes.
- loves to eat out regularly in SD...lovetodineDined on 8/17/2014The patio was so hot I thought we would die as we arrived after the races at Del Mar. The meal, service were good. Just keep in mind the sun shines right into the patio until well after 7PM if you are dining in the summer. You can eat inside and miss the view and ambiance and still enjoy the good foodSpecial Features:
- Needs More Attention to DetailOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/15/2014The food is very good but the servers need to pay more attention to details. When silverware is removed with the appetizer plates, it should be replaced automatically. When side dishes intended for sharing are served, there should be a utensil included so that they can be served without people using their own forks or spoons. Water glasses should be refilled without asking and crumbs cleared from the table after the meal and before serving dessert. Aside from these basic service missteps the food and the wine list are very good without breaking the bank although that is an option. Worth a visit. Go early and stay for the sunset.Special Features:
- CarolDined on 8/15/2014Beautiful spot and excellent food. Service was pretty good but lacked something in matching the ambiance of the place.Special Features:
- First time at Pacifica Del MarRipplaDined on 8/15/2014Just moved to the area and Pacifica was recommended. I was able to get reservation on a Friday night without a lot of notice. Staff was friendly and professional. Great selection of small plates as well as appetizers. Food was fantastic (we had scallops, catfish and lamb meat balls). Add a gorgeous sunset and you can't go wrong! Will definitely go back!Special Features:
- Splendid Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/14/2014We went to Pacifica Del Mar three out of five evenings during the week we were in town. I strongly recommend the scallops. The scallops were large, fresh, and the texture was perfect. The service was personable and excellent. The Mocha Semifreddo for dessert was outstanding. It is enough for four people to taste and it is very rich. The texture was perfect. Thursday night is half price night for wines and we took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a splendid Ken Brown Pinot Noir. I recommend making reservations one half hour before sunset while dining on their outside patio.Special Features:
- Great place for sunset dinnersmauinokaoiDined on 8/13/2014Had a great dinner with another couple. The Sea Bass was nicely done, as was the Ahi. This is a great place to eat and watch the sunset, and always has consistently good food. We brought our own wine since they do have corkage and the wine prices are high. This is one of our favorite places in Del Mar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fish tacos have changedsmm51Dined on 8/13/2014I usually order the fish tacos at lunch. I didn't know they had changed the dish and I was disappointed. I probably will not order them again.Special Features:
- Wonderful lunchthelunchproDined on 8/13/2014I invited my life-long friend to lunch for her birthday and was so glad I chose Pacifica del Mar. Although we ate light, our crab salads were excellent. The crab tasted like it was just gathered from the sea that morning! We had a chance to review your dinner menu and commented that we had found a "keeper" to return to. We look forward to returning again and again. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great cuisine1expensivetasteDined on 8/10/2014Had the pork tenderloin and it was awesome! It wasn't under/over cooked yet it melts in your mouth. My husband had the lamb meatballs which were just as awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Parking disasterEscondidodiner1Dined on 8/10/2014Parking is a disaster. No one to monitor traffic going into and out of the structure. No one to call if there's a problem Fee collection is automated. Almost no signage to guide you to the exits The parking detracts from an otherwise great evening. They absolutely need to have an attendant at each exit and improve signage. Picture yourself at a gate with five cars behind you and the machine that collects the money will not accept cash. You can't back up. You can't turn. Cars behind you are honking. The line interferes with incoming traffic. WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a sign that directs you to a cash exit that you cannot get to. Horrible planning.Special Features:
- ezdiningDined on 8/10/2014I've eaten at Pacifica in Palm Springs and enjoyed it looking for a dinner spot remembered Pacifica Had A Location In Del Mar Really enjoyed food, atmosphere and service was great! Went around 5:00 on a Sunday great Sunset prices not to crowded. As we were leaving it was getting busy timed it just right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FoodSteveTDined on 8/8/2014Good Food, not very romantic,noisy, fish tank in the dining area bordered on tacky.Special Features:
- Great foodbmaxDined on 8/7/2014Went for our anniversary on a Thursday. This place was hopping with locals. A good sign. Found out it was half price wine bottles. A bonus. Food was fresh and well prepared. Wish it was closer to homeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always consistently deliciousJanRSFDined on 8/7/2014We went for our anniversary on a Thursday night when wine is half-priced. We were there early so ordered the early dinner special which is a great value. There are about six dinner choices that come with a soup or salad for $23.95. The house salad is delicious. I had the steak which is always delicious at this seafood restaurant, served with mashed potatoes and broccolini. My husband had the salmon which is always cooked to perfection. We have never been disappointed with the food or the service.Special Features:
- Consistently good food, great viewOldHRHitterDined on 8/6/2014Consistently good food, great view and service. Their regular menu has something for everyone, the early bird is a great value and their bar menu has a lot of interesting small plates at low prices during happy hour. Great servers and great view. Their "frequent diner's club" is a nice perk.Special Features:
- Lovely view and great food!FoodieDined on 8/4/2014We went to this restaurant for our 1st anniversary just the other day. We were visiting San Diego. The food was good, but what really made the evening was good, friendly service and when we walked in for our res the hostess told the woman that sat us "seat them anywhere they'd like". We obviously wanted the two top with the great view. That's a great way to impress me. The drink menu is on an iPad and there were lots to choose from. The Lemon Meringue Martini and berry mixes vodka drinks were delish. We shared the lobster with a small filet and had amazing brussel sprouts in the side. The restaurant brought us a creme brûlée for free which was also very nice. Great overall experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely dinner-eat food and serviceSauceonthesideVIPDined on 8/3/2014As always, Pacifica Del Mar does not disappoint. Tasting menu delightful and I rarely venture to try something with so many sauces. Guests enjoyed theirs as well topped off with dessert trio. Perfect setting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, beautiful viewBreeDined on 8/2/2014I took my boyfriend here for a birthday breakfast. We ordered the Caribbean-Seasoned Hash and the Chicken. The chicken was succulent and the hints of mango in the hash were fantastic. We were helped by Scott who was just the right amount of attentive without being annoying. Overall fantastic experience. :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best places in Del MarlovegoodfoodDined on 7/27/2014Great food, fantastic view of the ocean, and we have always had excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dinner!EatingoutDined on 7/24/2014Always great, and we saved room for dessert...yum.Special Features:
- Turned out okayMaggieDined on 7/23/2014We had a reservation -told we had to wait 15 mins to sit outside. so we waited, which was fine. We were seated and then ignored for at least 15 mins. I finally stopped a busboy and asked him if he could send our waiter over - he said he could take our drink order - so we told him what we wanted - then the waitress came over to explain that the wine was not available by the bottle.......so we ordered another. The manager, I assume, brought the bottle, apologized for the wait, said the bottle of wine was on the house as well as any dessert we'd like........so sort of made up for it. We took the wine, opted out of dessert. Guess it was just an oversight on their part that we were ignored for so long - they were willing to make it right.Special Features:
- Sunset DinnerChowHoundDined on 7/23/2014Took my wife here for her birthday. It was a great experience. Great view of the ocean and definitely recommended for dining at sunset. Excellent choice of dishes and food was perfectly prepared. Will be adding this to my favorites.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Menu, Spectacular ViewYumyumTrailDined on 7/22/2014We enjoyed all aspects of our dinner starting with a yummy cocktail....blackberry smoothie in a large glass; followed by Blue Point Oysters and then a special value trio of salads for $25.(beet, heirloom tomatoes and halibut). We tried the sampler trio for dessert and that was just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. Attentive service and a fabulous table facing the Pacific OceanSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Just PerfectEatHereDined on 7/20/2014Everything at Pacifica Del Mar is just perfect. The view and the food are serene.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outdoor Patio ViewOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/20/2014We dined at Pacifica recently for Sunday brunch, although it really was more of a lunch menu and not a "brunch" at all. The stars of our meal were the fresh oysters. The Blue Points were excellent. Our other entrees were fine, but nothing exceptional. We did, however, have exceptional service from a young man by the name of Casey. It was a beautiful summer afternoon and the view was lovely. Overall it was a nice lunch.Special Features:
- FreshDoggybagDined on 7/19/2014Our food quality was very fresh and seemed to have had special attention to preparation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good seafoodAraTucsonDined on 7/18/2014The restaurant deserves its Zagat rating of 25 for food. The seafood served was fresh and light, cooked imaginatively and well-balanced with vegetables and spices. The outdoor seating area is quite pleasant, though somewhat crowded. The service was fast and efficient, the tables were clean and well-maintained, and the overall experience was very good. The wine list offered by the restaurant is quite reasonable. The prices are high but expected for the location and quality.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/18/2014What a beautiful place to eat and look out over the ocean as the sun was setting. The service was terrific, and the food delicious. The waitstaff was very courteous, and the meals came out hot and rather quickly. Lovely place and will definitely go back again.Special Features:
- perennial disappointmentDelMarLocalVIPDined on 7/18/2014Come here at times mainly for work; food not great, but high price to ratio is a common north county ill. Despite low expectations, recent trip w/family was a disaster. Kids food was expensive and the chicken like rubber--nearly impossible to cut. A corn leek soup--good concept--arrived so hot that even the server commented on it. As it cooled it became clear why so hot--heavily floured beyond the point of taste. Calamari is reliably good--light batter and properly cooked. $24 in oysters were only half shucked and a day or two off fresh (we left some uneaten). Ribeye ordered medium rare arrived medium +--sent it back and walked out. all in $172 for no actual adult dinner. Beware late afteronnons-strong sunlight in eyes.Special Features:
- dinerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/17/2014We had a large group and we were accommodated nicely, no big fuss. Our waitress was great, and the food was totally great. I would recommend this place to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Location, Location, LocationLagosgirlVIPDined on 7/16/2014The restaurant has a lovely patio that looks across the street to the ocean. The view and patio are great. Parking is available in the garage and it can be validated. The food and service were pretty average.Special Features:

- Always greatJanRSFDined on 7/10/2014We went for the early dinner on a Thursday night when most of the wine list is half-priced. The early dinner is a great value with soup or salad and a choice of six entrees. Their house salad is excellent. My husband really likes the salmon but I prefer the steak which was almost a filet, very tasty, tender and delicious. We had a bottle of wine that complemented our meal well. Always enjoy the food, view and ambiance of Pacifica Del Mar.Special Features:

Hurricane Sandy left the New Jersey shore down, but not out. This summer will be the second since the storm devastated beachfront communities there. And according to a report in the New York Times, the season is likely to bring a resurgence of interest in building and rebuilding in New Jersey beach towns (see: "Back to the Jersey Shore," by Ronda Kaysen). "With beaches replenished, boardwalks rebuilt, and stores reopened," writes the Times, "the Jersey Shore is gearing up for a summer busy enough to make last year's anemic one a distant memory."
Some buyers are attracted by properties that have dropped in price after the storm. Others, the Times reports, see homes in areas that didn't flood—protected by better geography or better civil infrastructure—as good investments.
Some second-home vacationers have given up on the shore, where rising insurance rates and tough rebuilding code requirements are adding costs. But others are hanging tough in an effort to preserve a family tradition. Paul Scriffignano told the Times: "I don't know if a storm like this is ever going to happen again, but I have a lot of friends and family here. It's almost like we wanted to band together and say, 'We don't want to give up on this area. Whatever happens, happens.'"

Foxconn workers blow off steam at the club after a long day building iPhones
It's hard work assembling iPhone components at Foxconn all day long, so when the weekend finally comes, workers head off for a night on the town. Bars, roller rinks, dance clubs, and roadside stands surround the Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou, China — all catering to the factory's employees. The New York Times followed a number of the plant's workers as they went out to blow off some steam, and found that while the work might be dull, the nightlife is anything but. "Dancing lets me vent my anger and stress," one employee told the Times while out at a club. "When I'm here, I forget everything else."

Not on our land: Campaigners launch legal bid to stop Rochford District Council building 2,785 new homes (From Echo)

Legal bid to block new homes across Rochford District
12:00pm Sunday 13th April 2014 in News By Philip Jones
CAMPAIGNERS have secured a legal review of Rochford Council's plans to build thousands of homes afterawoman stumped up cash to pay for it.
Linda Kendall, 66, of Lubbards Close, Rayleigh, and her Cambridge-based solicitors Richard Buxton Environmental and Public Law, have secured a judicial review over whether the public were properly consulted on plans to build 2,785 homes by 2025.
Ms Kendall, leader of the Rayleigh Action Group, has the backing of hundreds of people in the area and in Hullbridge, but has come up a substantial amount of money from her pension fund in order to secure the legal challenge at the High Court.
She still hopes to get financial support from other campaigners as the money needed for the legal fight has previously been touted as costing as much as £40,000.
She said: "I can't let the matter go.
"I'm appealing for the people of Rayleigh and Hullbridge to help me. There are leaflets going out to houses across the towns already.
"If everyone put a couple of pounds in, it would be enough."
The district council plans to build 2,785 out of a total of 4,600 homes on green field sites by 2025. A total of 550 new homes are planned for land north of London Road, Rayleigh, with a further 500 in Hullbridge.
Rochford will take 600, Hockley 50, Hawkwell 175, Ashingdon 100, Canewdon 60, Ashingdon 500 and Great Wakering 250.
Residents in Ms Kendall's Rayleigh group, as well as those surveyed by Brian Carleton in his capacity as leader of the Hullbridge Residents' Action Group, are concerned by potential overcrowding in the area, a lack of infrastructure improvements, and the potential for flooding.
Ms Kendall's legal challenge is on a point of law the council failed to adequately consult the public.
She added: "It is one of the first times plans like these have been challenged like this.
"This may not even work anyway.
I just feel there are too many questions not answered.
"I shouldn't think the council is terribly pleased with me though."
Lisa Foster, associate solicitor for Richard Buxton, said: "We deal with this type of case on a regular basis."
Claim is based on inadequate consultation
Linda Kendall's challenge is against the validity of the council's allocations plan, which details the sites for development in the next 11 years.
The claim has been made on the grounds adequate public consultation, a procedural requirement, was not complied with.
Were the review to be successful in the High Court, the plan would be either wholly or partly quashed, meaning the plan would need to be reconsidered.
However, district councillor for planning, Keith Hudson, notes it was mentioned in the council's Rochford District Matters quarterly magazine, delivered to every property in the district, as well as receiving coverage in local media and by officers speaking at public meetings.
There has been precedent for a successful similar claim as Richard Buxton Environmental and Public Law won a claim against a council in Norfolk against the building of 9,000 new homes in 2012.
An anti-urbanisation campaigner successfully brought the claim and forced the High Court to make the council reconsider its plans.
For - Brian Carleton, chairman of Hullbridge Residents' Action Group
We have 98.5 per cent of the Hullbridge residents registered as against the plans, so we are now fighting it with Linda and Rayleigh.
I've also had messages from people in Ashingdon and Canewdon saying if they'd known such things were possible, they would have done something.
We in Hullbridge now have a volunteer committee of three surveyors, one solicitor, a housingmanager, an architect, two involved in insurance and a secretary. We are, and have been, taking this seriously.
Against - Keith Hudson, Rochford District councillor for planning
The process of consultation we went through was far and away more than is required in law in order to ensure the best possible communication with our residents over the past seven years.
I regret our residents are subjected to a further period of uncertainty which is not in the majority of people's interest because of the potential blight to their properties.
Proposed sites on flood plains were dismissed. We are not building on flood plains and all vacant brownfield sites in the district have been allocated.

It seems to me that if these ordinary citizens cannot come up with tens of thousands of pounds, the local authority can, more or less, do what they like, unchallenged, and it would not surprise me that many council's decisions are made based on the fact that they know it is unlikely they will be challenged for that very reason.
If it was easier to challenge the decisions and the actions of these councils then maybe it would ensure that councils were a little more careful or thoughtful about procedures and decision making and eliminate the gung ho attitudes that some councils thrive on.

In the unlikely event that the jr succeeds, the council will just have (another) nominal consultation and come to the same conclusion. Increasing the costs, adding delay and putting money in lawyers pockets. Is this really worth £40K from Linda's pension?
Tell you what, YOU find somewhere adjacent to your home and tell the planners they can build there.

i know no one wants homes on their doorstep, but if there is a housing shortage and central government has decreed more must be built, where exactly are they supposed to go? if they are arent build there, they have to go somewhere else and im sure people in that somewhere else wont like it either. there certainly seems to be bigger issues here, but at a basic level, i just dont know where they are meant to build the houses - no one wants them near them.

What a bizarre statement from someone supposedly championing the allocation plan, so the fact that this development will have an overwhelming negative impact on existing residents isn't contested by RDC?

For a planning department to pass these applications that are on green belt land without following the proper process stinks of either corruption or incompetence, either way these applications need to be vigorously challenged and for the whole process to be open and transparent to all that want to know!

QuestionTime says...
So when I submit an application for a new build on my little piece of green belt land, I won't need to directly notify my neighbours as per current planning requirements, instead I'll just put a notice in the Rochford District Matters magazine (which looks more like a freebie newspaper than a magazine) for them NOT to read and I'll easily get permission because nobody objected!
Is this really a good standard of practice Mr. Hudson ?

If you missed the game review of the offense, click here. Now, onto 10 observations of the Eagles' defense after having re-watched the game.
1. The Eagles' defense shut out the Redskins for three-plus quarters, but let's start in the fourth where things got a little dicey. Trent Cole was trailing Darrel Young in coverage, and Patrick Chung was closing in from his deep safety spot down the left sideline. Robert Griffin III escaped pressure and lofted one to Young. Cole went flying at him, and Chung did the same from the opposite direction. They both whiffed and collided into one another as Young got free for the 62-yard score. Then on the 2-point conversion, the Redskins set up with a bunch formation to the right, and Chung completely lost track of Nick Williams.
2. Roc Carmichael had a rough fourth quarter. But his coverage wasn't bad on the 41-yard TD to Aldrick Robinson. Griffin underthrew the ball, and Robinson made a great adjustment. I asked Carmichael last week when he's taught to turn and find the football. He said he watches the receiver's eyes and hands. Obviously he could have done a better job on that play. Carmichael also gave up completions of 19, 9, 28 and 7 in the fourth quarter. The most concerning of those was the 28-yarder. The Eagles had the Redskins with a 3rd-and-25, but they were able to extend their drive with a completion to Santana Moss. Carmichael might have been expecting more safety help, but the safeties are going to play particularly deep in that spot, focused on keeping everything in front of them. Read more »

Swain was arrested in Jasper by agents from the FBI's North Alabama Safe Streets Task Force on Dec. 6, 2013.
The victim of the alleged murder was Spc. John Joseph Beans Eubanks, stationed at Fort Stewart and found at a campground on the base. Murder occurring on a federal reservation or military base is a federal crime.
On Thursday, the grand jury returned a first-degree murder indictment that alleged Swain "willfully, deliberately, maliciously and with premeditation did unlawfully kill John Eubanks, by blunt force trauma to the head."
The indictment continued to say Swain "committed the offense after substantial planning and premeditation."
No trial date has been set in the case, and authorities stressed Swain is considered innocent until proven guilty. A grand jury indictment only indicates there is enough evidence to proceed to trial with the charges.
Swain has been in and out of police custody over the last few decades, charged with theft, burglary, domestic violence, aggravated battery and other charges in Florida.
The aggravated battery charge was reportedly tied to a case in Starke, Fla., in 1991, where Swain allegedly struck a man in the head with a pool cue and gave conflicting reports to police who investigated the case.

BROWNSBURG — Aiden Spoor loves to dance. And he especially loves to dance for his fellow cancer patients at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent.
Aiden's love of dancing and having fun spurred his mother, Jen Spoor, to action. She, with the help of many others, has organized a "kids' prom" for local families.
"This will be a very family-oriented evening," Spoor said. "It will be for any family that would like to participate."
She said knowing your child has cancer changes a parent's perspective.
"You learn that family time is so very important," she said. "We all need to slow down all the hustle and bustle and do more things as a family. And this is something a family can come and experience together."
She said, "Aiden loves to dance and show off for the other kids at the hospital. The kids who are in the clinic together never really get together for fun. This is one way we can do that. And invite other people to come and have fun with us. No chemo — just a fun way to celebrate."
During the evening, there will be games, photos, and a prom court.
"We're going to have little princes and princesses," she said. "They will all be patients from Peyton Manning (Hospital)."
The Spoors live in Brownsburg and have come to know many families dealing with cancer. Aiden Spoor is a second-grader and attends a Brownsburg school.
"He really is an amazing boy," Spoor said. "He's carried us through this."
She said her son is doing very well medically, and is keeping up with his school work.
"He hasn't missed hardly any days," she said. "We're in a maintenance phase of his treatment. We just got done with nine months of the rough stuff."
Spoor said she's gotten help from several people in the community, including several high school students.
"Two Brownsburg High School students, Mackenzie Cheney and Brady Smith, are helping us as part of their senior project," she said. "They're collecting donations for the silent auction."
There's also a group of students from Ben Davis University High School that have volunteered to help.
"They caught wind (of the party) and volunteered to help run some of the stations during the event," Spoor said.
Fanchon Stinger, a news anchor from FOX 59, will be serving as the emcee for the event. There will also be appearances by Purdue football players and the Indy 500 festival queen.
"Our celebrities will be doing things like leading the 'Chicken Dance,'" she said. "Mayor Ballard said he was going to try to make an appearance, but it's not confirmed yet. I sure hope he does. The kids may not know who he is, but the adults will get a kick out of it."
Participants are asked to come in semi-formal attire.
"Aiden wants to rent a tux," Spoor said. "I told him that was a but much."
Under the Big Top Kids' Prom will run from 5 to 10 p.m. Feb. 2 at the Wyndham Indianapolis West. Tickets must be purchased by Jan. 28.
The cost of the Under the Big Top Kids' Prom is $15 for children and $30 for adults. For more information on tickets, visit the "Pray for Aiden" Facebook page or a website walled http://kidsprom.eventbright.com/.
Organizers are also still looking for sponsors and items for the silent auction. To help with those items, visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PrayForAiden and leave a message.
Funds raised will go to support Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent.

(11/30/12) - The suspect in an online dating murder case is identified, but the mystery over what led to the death of two people continues.
Investigators believe 30-year-old Steven Fabi killed himself as deputies approached his father's Midland County home on Tuesday.
They believe Fabi shot and killed 45-year-old Leigh Swanson last week, sometime after the two met up for a date.
But there are still plenty of unanswered questions.
For example, investigators are still not sure how Leigh Swanson got out to Steven father's home in the Sanford area.
They do believe Steven Fabi was the man Leigh Swanson was going to meet on Nov. 17 for a date after they corresponded on the website MeetMe.com. But, they are still looking at the possibility someone may have helped Fabi move the body.
MeetMe.com can be accessed through your Facebook login. Fabi was a Facebook friend of ABC12 News.
Midland County Sheriff Jerry Nielsen says detectives are researching his Facebook page for any type of clues to what may have lead to Swanson's murder.
These are the events of the last two weeks surrounding the disappearance and death of Leigh Swanson: Police say the last time she sees friends and family is Nov. 17, she talks with her mother on Nov. 18, and then on Nov. 20, she is reported missing. Almost a week later, Steven Fabi kills himself as deputies approach his father's Midland County home on Nov. 27, and the next day, Swanson's body is found in woods across from the house.
Saginaw Township Police originally investigated the case and had first contacted Fabi on Tuesday.
They thought they were calling Swanson's cell phone number, a number they had tried to call since Thanksgiving Day.
"Then on the morning of the 27th, we tried again to make contact through that phone number and were surprised when a male voice answered the telephone number. The subject identified himself as Steve and we had conversation with him concerning the whereabouts of Leigh," said Don Pussehl, Saginaw Township Police Chief. "At that time I believe he said she was at his house, and picked up by another man, and left with this other man."
Investigators have identified the person the Fabi was talking about as a man named Tim, but believe he has nothing to do with the case. But Nielsen is not convinced that Fabi alone could have moved Swanson's body from the house to a wooded area across the road.
Police are still interviewing people Fabi knew.
"Communicating with other people, talking to them, seeing what they know, what they've heard and if they knew if Steven had done this type of thing in the past," Nielsen said. "Just trying to figure out how he gets people to and from his home. Apparently he doesn't drive. He's got some type of injury, hip or leg injury so he is not very mobile."
Police are saying this case is a reminder of the dangers of searching for love over the Internet.
Zigmond Kozicki, a Saginaw psychiatrist, says more people are searching for romance over the Internet than ever before - and they need to be careful.
"There are people who are felons, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, all the nasty people out there in society who use this as getting access to people," he said.
Meetme.com is free. Investigators, and Kozicki, say that's something to watch out for.
"I think that the services that you pay for, I think that we expect they're doing some screening, some sort of background information or whatever, but you can't be sure of that and if you ever read the fine print, they right up front tell you they're not responsible for anything that goes wrong," Kozicki said.
If you do wish to make a match online, getting background information about that person such as where they work and who their friends are is never a bad idea. Knowing the signs of a predator is key.
"I think the first thing to look out for is any inconsistencies, in particular when you ask questions and the person either delays answering the question or gives you some kind of response that seems far-fetched," Kozicki said.
The public relations person at meetme.com released a statement to the Saginaw news saying the site is a social space and not a dating site.

What happens to a person's identity and reason for being when the circumstances of his/her life are suddenly and radically altered? How does one balance the gift of survival against the suffering that can come with it? What is it that ultimately gives meaning to a life?
Dr. Grace Dammann's life was forever changed when a driver passed out at the wheel on the Golden Gate Bridge, crashing head-on into her car. While her daughter and dog suffered only minor injuries, Grace was air-lifted to a nearby trauma hospital where her life hung by a thread for many days in the ICU. After a seven-week coma, brain bleeds and numerous surgeries, Grace miraculously regained consciousness with her cognitive abilities almost entirely intact. But her body was left shattered and with severe disabilities.
Prior to the accident, Grace worked as a physician and co-founded the first HIV/AIDS clinic for poor people in San Francisco. She signed over 1,000 death certificates in the six-year period that marked the disease's deadliest era and was honored by the Dalai Lama for her compassionate care. Though she is wheelchair-bound, she eventually musters the will and drive to return to work as a physician, designing and directing a cutting-edge pain clinic in the same public hospital where she worked prior to the accident.
From doctor to patient to doctor again, we trace Grace's recovery and the unexpected journey of a family in the wake of a devastating crisis. We witness the resilience of both caregiver and care-receiver and the triumphs and setbacks along the way as Grace; her partner, Fu Schroeder; and daughter Sabrina reinvent their lives together.

The Daily Scope
Your heart wants to delve into the bigger questions in life, but your head would rather talk about the best toenail polish colors for summer. Push yourself to speak about your personal philosophy and share your views on worldly issues and current affairs. People are interested in your opinions, and it will feel good to express them.
Today you might find yourself a little self-destructive. You feel a severed connection between yourself and the other people you communicate with, and it makes you feel self-conscious. You didn't lose your groove, you're just having an off day. Try to take things as they come and not to be overly analytical.
You are craving an intimate connection, but today your ego won't allow for the equal give and take that must occur. Make sure you're not too forceful in your dealings with other people. If you give a fair amount of time to both yourself and the other person, the dialogue will blossom into the intimacy you desire.
Today it is hard to remain focused. You want to concentrate on moving ahead, but there is another force at work, something internal, that is bothering you and creating a distraction. Before you can proceed, you must first address this concern. Take some time to get in touch with what's bugging you. It's actually quite simple to fix, once you realize what it is. This will clear your mind, giving you the focus to go forward.
In a social situation today, be careful that you don't ignore the group's preference, in order to focus only on your own desires. You may need to be sensitive to everybody's concerns, and perhaps compromise some of your immediate wishes. Whatever is better for the group will be better for you as well.
You don't want to deal with reality today. You would rather hide from the world, and avoid your obligations. The more you run from things, the more your inner agitation will mount. Embrace fifteen minutes of discomfort, and do the tough stuff. Then your mind is free and you can do whatever you please.
You want to expand your horizons and discuss more substantive issues; you're bored by chitchat and celebrity gossip. That's great, but if you want to redirect the discourse, it will be up to you to start the conversation. You'll be pleasantly surprised by what people have to say and share, and a richer and more rewarding experience is had by all!
Today you're going to want to stay in a comfortable position, only to be pushed into more daring territory. Maintain your self-confidence and trust that you're capable of experiencing these bold horizons and expansive vistas. You'll be rewarded by a new and exciting experience, and, surprisingly, will feel instantly at home in this new environment.
If you're not careful, you could become embroiled in gossip or little arguments with those close to you today. It's easy for someone to incite frustration in you—you're like a powder keg ready to explode. In order to prevent an unnecessary fire storm, take a step back and a deep breath. Realize that you're just on edge—you need to give yourself a break, get some air, and let your equilibrium return.
Today you'll feel a bit confused and overwhelmed by your work and you wonder what it's all leading to. It's not like you to feel despondent or to doubt, but you have your misgivings. Try to focus instead on the task at hand, and don't be overly concerned at the moment about future outcomes. You are asked to cultivate faith and to know that all your efforts are leading you in the right direction.
In the social arena, it is difficult to show restraint when something you care passionately about comes up for discussion. You want to dominate the conversation and make your point loud and clear. However, there is something to be gained by making sure that everyone has their say and is able to express their opinions, which leads to a far richer debate. Who knows? You could even learn something new in the process!
Today you want to stick with your cozy routine, and float in the lovely waters of the familiar. But it is better for you to push your limits, and swim against the tide, you're stronger and more capable than you know. Dare to put yourself in a new environment: Don't be shy. When someone wildly exciting crosses your path, take the risk—you can initiate the conversation!

Minnesota State University Moorhead is playing damage control after sending more than 200 acceptance letters to students that were not supposed to get them.
The university noticed its data for fall enrollment was not adding up and when officials found out why, they sent another letter to the students saying they were not accepted.
MN State Marketing & Communications Executive Director David Wahlberg says, "We didn't follow our processes as we should've, and we know that some people have been hurt by this in a very real manner."
For many high school seniors, it is a dream to heading to the mail box and find a college acceptance letter.
"I was very excited. I was happy I know that I was making the next step in my life," Jeremy Abrahamson says.
What most, including Abrahamson, would never expect is another letter saying they were not accepted.
He says, "I'm originally from back in Wisconsin. There's a few schools I applied there and got accepted, but I didn't wanna go to a school there."
MSUM sent the original acceptance letters to 232 students that did not qualify for automatic admission based on admission standards like GPA and standardized testing.
"What should've happened was they should've been referred to an individual review committee," says Wahlberg.
In that individual review committee, they have the chance to appeal for why they should be admitted. Instead, a second letter was sent saying there was a mistake.
Wahlberg says, "We were balancing our need to get back to these people as soon as possible."
Now, after further discussion, the university hopes to make amends.
"What we're going to do is offer to admit them if they agree to participate in an academic success program."
The program will give students access to things like academic counseling since they did not meet the automatic requirements; tools the university says will help them be successful if they choose to enroll.
The university is sending out a third letter and calling the students to inform them of this new option. Officials say they are reviewing their internal processes to make sure a major mistake like this doesn't happen again.
