Pullman, WA—Organic milk tends to contain preferable ratios of omega fatty acids to those found in conventional milk, according to an analysis performed by a research team from Washington State University. The study is hailed as the first large-scale, nationwide comparison of the two types of milk, as nearly 400 samples were tested over an 18-month period.

Local florists are working hard for what they call their own "Black Friday" – Valentine's Day.
Florists love Valentine's Day.
"It's like our Black Friday," said Mary Devlin, Fort Myers Floral Designs.
Their Black Friday is bigger than last year.
The National Retail Federation reported that consumers plan to spend $1.8 billion on flowers this year, up from $1.7 billion a year ago.
With Valentine's Day on a weekday rather than a weekend, florists expect a 30-percent boost in sales.
"The guys will send their love to the girls at work. The girls love that. That's what they want. And you got to give them what they want," said Devlin.
Whether its roses or a nice arrangement of flowers they want, then expect prices to be slightly higher this year.
"A tiny percentage increase due to fuel," said Devlin.
The traditional gift sends the traditional message of love – and is a good option for the traditional procrastinator.
"We're here until the line stops," said Devlin.
A traditional bouquet of roses will cost anywhere between $60-$100, but there are options for $20 as well.
Tuesday, Devlin expects the line to be out the door.
If you plan on buying flowers you can always call ahead and have them delivered.

A word from KHONG River House
The Mekong River, or Khong, as it is referred to by locals, has long served as the central form of connectivity from the Tibetan Plateau down through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. It brings together the people and their varying cultures while its banks and valleys create one of the
world's most biodiverse and fertile areas. This melding of disparate tastes, ingredients, and techniques has resulted in the bold, complex harmony that is the hallmark of authentic Southeast Asian cuisine.

Diner Reviews
Been here many times, but it seems
they are resting on their laurels. Short rib appetizer was fatty, chewy and generally inedible. Waitress was smothering and then non-existent. She brought us wrong dish and then disappeared."
Dined on 8/23/2014
I went last Saturday with my wife
and a friend to this restaurant, when we get there they sat us very fast, the server took at least 5 minutes to greed us and take the order of the drinks. We ask for the Spice menu and they explain to us that only is available Monday to Friday. We decide to stay. When we order the food, we order one appetizer to share and three main dishes. After 25 minutes waiting for the food one of the main dishes that we order came out. We ask for our appetizer and the answer was I don't know about the app. We call the server and with attitude said to us "what is the problem guys". All the food was cold, not even warm. I left an finish my dinner at Citi Hall and having better service and food....."

Decor is vibrant, Food is rich,
fantastic, different and very tasty! The French Rose wine we had was very affordable and a great wine!!"
Dined on 8/14/2014
Been to Khong on several occasions
previously, but things have declined here. Service was mediocre, rushed. We interrupted the front door greeter on her phone to get seated. Food was authentic, and as described on the menu - most plates were bursting with flavor. Jasmine rice never arrived ... The service and management staff just seem to be stale, maybe tired."
Dined on 8/12/2014
AMAZING crispy lettuce wraps &
dumplings, the ribs are good but too fatty for me, everyone else loved them! They even have a spicy gin cocktail that goes perfectly with the food--such nice flavors!! Donuts at the end were seriously redic!!!! Service was perfect. Fab night!"
Dined on 8/12/2014
Small plates, great quality,
drunken noodles too expensive and the portion is small."

Amazing food, original and tasty,
and winderful waitress called Farah. We will return for sure."
Dined on 8/8/2014
I have dined here many times and
the food was always excellent. I hadn't been in 6 months and returned to find a new menu, new chef, and lunch prices much higher. I ordered the shrimp which was was 2 large prawns for $19 at lunch - ridiculous. The shrimp were very plain. The shisito peppers were drowned in a thick gooey sauce. The appetizer noodle wrap was excellent, as were the dougnuts. I was with 3 other people who all thought that their food was fine, but not great anymore. The waiter was really good, but the water woman had not been well trained. The hostess wasn't the most welcoming. The Spice menu, which no one ordered, was strange -a cold salad to start, a cold salad entree, and then sticky rice for dessert. Please change back."
Dined on 8/7/2014
the menu had changed (a lot) since
the last time i was here — options were less & prices were outrageous! the waitress greeted us in a tone you'd expect from a greeter at the GAP. the first dish to the table was the lettuce cups — previously a sharable stack of lettuce with a bowl of pork, vegetables, etc. — now reduced to four pieces of iceberg lettuce, each topped with a small bit of topping. i asked if the dish i remembered was still on the menu, to which the waitress replied 'we never had that.' the short ribs were next – great sauce, but only 4 pieces of meat. then the pad thai – a smallish, dry portion for the price. there are so many better restaurants in miami beach now. skip this one."
Dined on 8/3/2014
Amazing food. Loved the chiang
mai chicken and the eggplant!"
Dined on 8/2/2014
We went to this place because of
its location. Theres a bar/lounge upstairs. The service was excellent, quick and friendly. The only downside is the price. I didnt mind paying $20-40 for my meal, but i was expecting to be wowed. The food is good, but not worth the menu prices. I feel i could get the same quality food in a local vietnamese mom and pop stote. The inside is nice and clean, very stylish but rustic. And they have interesting mixed drinks (beer and bourbon anyone? Surprisingly refreshing). I personally had the minty tamarind iced tea, very good Overall, a good place with good food, but not worth the prices."
Dined on 8/1/2014
Great find delicious food and
wonderful staff. Great place for a large group or a date night night."
Dined on 7/31/2014
Went here for the first time with
two other people on recommendation and loved the meal! The food is fantastic (had the short rib currey) and a great value for what you're paying (portions are a good size and prices are somewhat reasonable). We all had different cocktails and all were exceptional. Our dinner came out in a short amount of time which was great as well. My only complaint would be our waitress-she seemed new and didn't seem knowledgeable about the menu. Also talked very quiet which was hard to hear with the loud music. Overall great experience!"
Dined on 7/28/2014
Disappointing and overpriced. The
pork rice bowl was good, but the noodle bowl was a letdown. The signature drink was gross and overspiced. Go somewhere else."
Dined on 7/28/2014
Loved this meal! Will definitely
go back. Very memorable. Thank you!"
Dined on 7/26/2014
The beef jerky is rare to see on a
menu at a restaurant, but it was delicious and a great appetizer."

Cool design, High energy music,
Reaching to deliver authentic Asian with American spin on Gin drinks. Knowledgeable and pleasant server."

Menu for brunch is ridiculous. You
have just a few options....don't go for brunch/lunch"
Dined on 7/19/2014
The décor and ambience were very
nice. I had the yellow curry- mediocre. My wife had sea bass- $46 and not deboned."
Dined on 7/18/2014
Food is exceptional, ambiance
desirable ... acoustics could be a bit better to moderate the 60's music and the occasional diner who can't moderate his voice and makes sure everyone in the restaurant is listening."
Dined on 7/13/2014
We got to restaurant and they
wanted to sit us in the back where there was nobody sitting and there were plenty of tables to accomadate two in the front. Second time this has happened to me. The back smells of the bathrooms and not very appetizing. The food was great but they had run out of certain items (it was 7pm)."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Very disappointing experience;
food was just average; very surprised that the food and experience was not better especially when this restaurant has been rated so highly- but not my experience."
Dined on 7/9/2014
Place does a fabulous job of
incorporating dishes from various Asian countries. Great atmosphere!"
Dined on 7/3/2014
the food is not uniformly
fantastic. One dish fabulous , one dish ok! There are four side dish choices of vegetables- we love vegetables- two of the four (our first choices) were not available!). The eggplant side dish was, however, fabulous!"
Dined on 7/3/2014
A capsule review: We went to Khong
River House to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. It lived up to our already high expectations. Excellent food, great drink selection, liberal portions, and a highly knowledgeable and amiable staff. The ambiance is great as well. Highly recommended!"
Dined on 6/25/2014
The restaurant has wonderful
atmosphere and great service. We started with papaya salad which non of us really liked, had sauteed Chinese broccoli which in our opinion had way to much soy sauce but was good. For our entrees my husband had Prawns which he says were just OK nothing really special, I had drunken noodle which I felt was a smaller portion but it was tasty. Our daughter had mussels which most of them were closed which is not a good sign she had to send them back. I will say the server was wonderful and the manager came over to say he was sorry and took off the mussels and gave us free dessert. So all in all it was good but to us not great."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Went with my wife while on
vacation. We eat out quite a bit and are not the type of people who often send back or complain about an order unless it's eggregiously wrong. I ordered chicken pad Thai (which is an up charge for the protein). When I got the dish it had only (what appeared to be) tofu in it. I called the server and pointed out they brought it without the chicken. He proceeded to have me look around the dish until I was able to locate the sole piece of chicken in it. Again, not one to complain and certainly not one to ask for bill adjustments but absolutely nothing was done and the final bill came out with the protein up charge. Completely amateur service and a disgrace to charge for what we got."
Dined on 6/20/2014
One of our favorite places for
dinner, but disappointing for brunch. 50 eggs best brunch spot is right down the street at Yard Bird."

Love the different dishes and the
different flavors of the sauces"
Dined on 6/14/2014
The waiter was great, service
great the food cvs me in really fast overall. I'm ok with expensive menus when it's just amazing the food but somehow although the menu had interesting choice didn't felt the flavor on the food except the spicy."
Dined on 6/12/2014
I had been very excited about
eating here, and I was profoundly underwhelmed."
Dined on 6/10/2014
Based on some reviews, we went to
KRH on Monday for lunch. The place was relatively empty, but that was to be expected on Monday. We thought that we would get burst of flavors, above and beyond a regular Thai restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was not very exciting and somewhat bland. The portions were very small, so we had to load up on rice to get full. Nothing special - you would get a better value going to a neighborhood Thai restaurant."
Dined on 6/9/2014
Food was fairly bland for Thai
food. No dish stood out in a good way. Shisito peppers were burnt. Nobu's shisito's far superior. Yellow curry was boring and Masaman beef tasted as though the beef was boiled in water and then added to curry sauce. Waitress was extra bold but tolerable. Our group of 5 wasn't impressed."
Dined on 6/8/2014
We are going back for sure. We
love everything we ordered. "

Excellent combination of
food,tasty and nice presentation"
Dined on 6/3/2014
We had dinner at the Khong River
house and it was a great experience. The menu is not too large but the variety and choices are extensive. The mussels starter was superb and the Cambodian Ted curry was great (better as a vegetarian dish). I would eat here again. "
Dined on 5/27/2014
We had dinner at this restaurant
in May 2014. Though the options for vegetarians are limited, the food that's vegetarian friendly is outstanding. For appetizers we had the Burmese fresh noodle wraps which were awesome. For main we had the Vegetable Fried Rice which was good, but we felt the portion size was a tad too small. From an ambiance perspective, the lights could have been a made little less brighter to make the space feel more cozy. One small thing that did sour the otherwise great experience was that our server swiped our credit card for some other table's check. Though she promptly reversed the transaction and correctly processed the our check, I would have felt better had she informed me without prompting from our side. "
Dined on 5/26/2014
Khong River House had it all:
great drinks that started with an impressive liquor selection; delicious food that hit all the right notes; friendly, energetic and helpful service; and an atmosphere that felt unique but not over done. My favorite was the seafood noodles and the charred okra. DELICIOUS. I don't live in Miami but if I ever get back, this is definitely top of my list to visit. "
Dined on 5/24/2014
I loved the Khong River House,
however this visit was different. The Crab rice was dry, the eggplant was dry and tasteless, the pork balls where dry... If you don't keep consistency, unfortunately the Khong River House will be another closed restaurant in Miami Beach."
Dined on 5/18/2014
Trendy Asian food with a huge menu
of gin cocktails. Nice ambiance with pleasant service and numerous food choices to satisfy most palates. Reasonable prices for South Beach. Would recommend to others."

Randall C. Sanderson and Melba Jo Sanderson. Everybody use to just call her Jo and many still do, but wasn't long after we got married, I needed to get her attention so I called her Melba Jo. Got her attention cause at that time no one called her Melba Jo. I liked the ring of it, so I pretty much call her Melba Jo, for going on 48 years.

PSA board backs cash injection by Dongfeng, France gov't
PARIS -- PSA/Peugeot-Citroen's board approved an outline deal to raise 3 billion euros ($4.1 billion) by selling stakes in the automaker to China's Dongfeng Motor and the French government.
The deal, if completed, would represent a defining moment in the history of the automaker, which has been controlled by the Peugeot family since it was founded in 1896. It would result in Dongfeng, the French government and the Peugeot family each holding 14 percent stakes in PSA, according to reports.
After a five-hour meeting on Sunday, PSA's supervisory board agreed to a two-stage recapitalization that would be evenly split between a rights issue to existing shareholders and a subsequent issue of additional shares on the market, Les Echos newspaper said on Monday in a report.
Later on Monday, PSA issued a statement confirming that the automaker is considering a 3 billion euros capital increase. It said under its preferred scenario, PSA would implement a capital increase reserved to Dongfeng followed by a rights offering in which Dongfeng would participate. The French government may also participate in these two capital increases on the same terms and conditions as Dongfeng, the statement said.
Les Echos said Dongfeng and the French government each would inject about 750 million euros to acquire 14 percent stakes at a price between 7.50 euros and 8 euros a share, diluting the Peugeot family's holding to 14 percent from the current 25 percent.
PSA would then hold a rights issue of about 1.4 billion euros for the rest of the funding. In addition, the Peugeot family would invest about 100 million euros to maintain its stake at 14 percent.
PSA CEO Phillipe Varin is seeking to finalize the deal by Feb. 19, which is when the automaker is due to announce its 2013 annual results.
Family disagreement
According to French press reports, the Peugeot family was divided over the extent of its participation in the capital increase and the size of the stake sale to Dongfeng.
PSA Chairman Thierry Peugeot resisted a capital increase involving Dongfeng and the French state. He argued that the appointment of Carlos Tavares as PSA's next CEO and the improvement in Europe's car market would help the company to raise 3 billion euros entirely through a public rights issue. Tavares, formerly Carlos Ghosn's No. 2 at Renault, joined PSA on Jan. 1. He will succeed Varin, 61, later in this year.
Thierry Peugeot and his supporters also said the Dongfeng involvement will not solve the issue of PSA's small size and it could also make it more difficult for PSA to cooperate with other European automakers on joint projects. But his cousin, Robert Peugeot, who heads the family holding company, backed Varin's plan for Dongfeng to take a stake in PSA. Robert Peugeot's supporters were concerned that investors may not support a large rights issue while PSA continues to bleed cash.
Les Echos said Thierry Peugeot may be replaced as PSA chairman by Louis Gallois, former head of aerospace firm Airbus's owner, EADS. Gallois joined the PSA board last April as the French government's representative.
Analysts skeptical
Analysts reacted skeptically to the proposed recapitalization.
Macquarie Group said today in a research report that the potential entry of Dongfeng and the French government as investors is likely to make other alliances for PSA "extremely difficult to achieve."
Florent Couvreur, an analyst with CM-CIC Securities in Paris, said: "Some investors are starting to wonder whether the deal with Dongfeng is going to happen at all. In any case, the new shares will be sold at a discount, which will dilute the capital and push the price of the shares down."
PSA has said it needs a cash infusion to raise funds for new models and expand in growth markets such as China. The automaker is expected to confirm next month that it burned through about 1.5 billion euros in cash last year in addition to restructuring costs.
PSA's deepening partnership with Dongfeng marks a shift in strategic emphasis after an alliance with General Motors Co., which included a 7 percent stake by GM in PSA, didn't produce expected cost reductions. GM disposed of its PSA holding in December.
Dongfeng investment
"If we invest in Peugeot, it will bring benefits such as technology and other resources that will help us develop our own cars," Dongfeng General Manager Zhu Fushou said today in an interview in Beijing, declining to comment on any specifics. "Peugeot's main problem is its heavy reliance on Europe, which it should address by shifting focus to emerging markets."
Dongfeng is PSA's partner in an existing Chinese joint venture. The automakers opened their third joint assembly plant in China in July. PSA plans to have production capacity for 950,000 vehicles in China by 2015.
Dongfeng also builds passenger cars and commercial vehicles under its own brands as well as with Nissan, Kia and Honda. In December, Dongfeng signed an agreement to make vehicles in China with Renault.
Tavares's plans
Incoming CEO Tavares told unions last week that PSA needs to focus on returning to a positive free cash flow, better managing vehicle stocks and increasing its market share in Europe, according to sources familiar with the matter. Tavares plans to give his diagnosis on the state of PSA in about 100 days and is likely to take over as CEO before then, the sources said. French media said Tavares might take on the CEO role as early as Feb. 19.
PSA shares closed at 11.48 euros on Friday, valuing the company at 4.1 billion euros. The company's shares fell to 10.21 euros at the close of trading today in Paris, the steepest decline since Dec. 13.

Dartford shooting: Man appears in court
Updated 10:27am Friday 1st March 2013 in News By Sam Christie
A MAN has appeared in court in connection with the killing of Kevin McKinley.
Father-of-three McKinley, 32, died after being shot in Fulwich Road, Dartford on February 12.
Lewis Wickenden, of Overy Street, Dartford, appeared before Dartford Magistrates via video link on Friday, charged with possessing a firearm, namely a semi-automatic single-barrel shotgun and possession of ammunition, namely shotgun carriages, both without firearms certificates.
The 25-year-old also faced a charge of assisting an offender. His case was committed to Maidstone Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on Friday. (Feb 1)
Wickenden's partner Michaela Sargeant, 24, of the same address, has been charged with the murder of Mr McKinley.
She appeared at Maidstone Crown Court last Tuesday (Feb 17) and was remanded in custody to appear at the same court on April 19 for a plea and case management hearing.
A provisional trial date has also been set for August 5. Neither Wickenden or Sargeant have entered a plea.
Emergency services were called to Overy Street at shortly before 8pm on Tuesday and found the 32-year-old with a gunshot wound.
The victim had gone into cardiac arrest and was treated by ambulance staff at the scene before being taken to Darent Valley Hospital where he died of his injuries.

President Barack Obama's cyber security executive order, announced during his State of the Union address Tuesday night, elicited guarded praise from several quarters even as it revived calls for more comprehensive bipartisan legislation to address long-term security threats.
As expected, Obama last night signed a Presidential Policy Directive requiring federal agencies and critical infrastructure owners and operators to work cooperatively to minimize cyber risks and strengthen resilience to attacks.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Obama's preemptive cyber attack disclosure a warning to China and Why you should care about cyber espionage. | Learn how to greatly reduce the threat of malicious attacks with InfoWorld's Insider Threat Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
The order stems from what the White House has long said is the need for immediate action to protect critical assets against cyber threats because of Congress' continued failure to pass legislation.
Republicans, however, have assailed the plan to issue the order as unnecessary presidential overreach and have long maintained that the best way to address security issues is through bipartisan legislation.
BITS, the technology policy division of the influential Financial Services Roundtable, last night called the directive a constructive step forward but added that legislation is still necessary.
"While the Executive Order moves our nation forward, Congressional action is needed to effect additional fundamental improvement," the group said in a statement. "We urge Congress to build upon these actions, while not duplicating them."
Alan Paller, research director at the SANS Institute in Bethesda called the executive order weaker than expected.
Draft versions of the executive order had contained language that required industry to develop voluntary best practices for cyber security and then assigning regulatory agencies to enforce them. That language was excluded from the final version of the order, Paller said.
"The shocker was that, in the very last version, at the insistence of industry lobbyists, the White House took out all elements that would have made attacks against the United States less effective and harder to launch," Paller said.
Obama's order requires that federal government agencies share cyber threat and vulnerability information with each other and with private companies. It calls for the enablement of a national situational awareness capability for cyber security through better information sharing.
The executive order establishes two national critical infrastructure centers to be operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). One will focus on physical infrastructure and the other on cyber infrastructure.
The centers will serve as a central point for collecting and disseminating threat information gathered by various sector specific government agencies and departments and by owners of critical infrastructure.

I have a Farmall 200 that has an unusual wide front end. Rather than the wide front that was used on the Super C, 200 and 230, this wide front is like the wide front that was introduced on the 240. The belly casting and front end has what appears to be experimental part numbers. I am not sure if the front end parts will interchange with the parts for the 240 wide front. But they do look the same except for the part numbers.
I bought the tractor many years ago in Ohio at an auction, The auction sale bill included information about the farm having been connected with International Harvester. It was this connection and the 200 that caused me to go to the auction. The buildings on the farm were some of the best I have seen. There was a fast hitch mower on the tractor as well as a carry-all and other tools. I bought the tractor with the mower and the carry-all. There were other tools for the 200 that I now wish that I had bought.
When I bought the tractor it had a spun main bearing and a damaged main bearing journal. Unfortunately at the time I was under some pressure to make room in the shop and could not find a way to get the block repaired quickly, reliably and correctly. I also could not find a good correct block quickly enough so we used a C123 from a stationary engine. While the tractor runs like a new tractor, I have never liked the fact that the block is not right. The missing bell housing bolt is a constant reminder. Does anyone know where I could get the mains on the original block repaired? I would like to return to tractor to as original as possible.
A second question is about tires. The tractor has what are probably 3 original tires and one 11.2 X 36 Goodyear Traction Torque that looks new. I have been looking for a matching traction torque for many years and would much appreciate it if anyone knows where I can find one. The 3 originals have a lot of wear left but will need to be replaced because of cracking and age.

A customer at a Union City Waffle House who turned the tables on an armed robber is now being called a hero. Authorities say the suspect pointed his gun at an off-duty Atlanta police officer, who was having a late meal with his best friend-- an armed, off-duty security guard.Officers were called to the Waffle House located in the 4300 block of Jonesboro Road just before 2 a.m. Monday. Officers were told that a black man wearing a black bandana and a hood over his head walked into the restaurant with a gun in hand and demanded money. At least 13 people were inside the restaurant at the time.Authorities say the suspect, 21-year-old Aston McAfee, pointed his gun at the customer sitting closest to the register. That customer happened to be off-duty Atlanta police officer Jonathan Sutton. Sutton couldn't get to his gun. Sutton's best friend, Chad Pollard-- a security guard and former firefighter-- was also off duty, but he was armed with his gun. He grabbed it and fired two shots. McAfee dropped his weapon and fell to the floor. The police report says McAfee told the first officers who arrived at the scene, "Man, I'm just trying to get some money for my baby."Pollard says with so many potentially innocent victims in the restaurant, instinct took over and he's glad he did what he did. He told FOX 5's Justin Gray in an interview on Monday that he knew what he had to do."I was in fear for not only my life, but everybody there," Pollard said, adding that he didn't want anyone to get hurt. Investigators say McAfee remains at Grady Memorial Hospital, but no details have been released on the extent of his injuries. No one else was hurt during the incident. Union City police say they consider Pollard's actions to be self-defense, and that he did what he had to do to keep the staff and patrons inside the restaurant safe.

FGCU's Babaev Finishes Ninth in 50 Free at USA Nationals
FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU volunteer assistant coach Pavel Babaev (Lehigh Acres, Fla./Lehigh Senior HS/FAU) placed ninth in the 50-meter freestyle at the three-day USA Long Course Nationals in Atlanta, Ga. last weekend.
In the 50-meter free preliminaries, Babaev qualified for the "A" finals with a time of 22.76. In the finals, Babaev swam an even faster time of 22.75, which was good for ninth overall and the sixth fastest American time at the meet. In the 100-meter free, Babaev finished 49th with a time of 51.48.
"I am very proud of Pavel not only being the sixth fastest American at Nationals and getting on NBC TV but the way he sets an example to our girls," said head coach Neal Studd. "He is 100 percent focused all the time whether it's the pool or the weight room. He realizes what sometimes younger athletes forget, time is short so you need to enjoy it while you can and make the most of it. We really appreciate what Pavel does for our program."
Prior to FGCU, Babaev swam collegiately at Florida Atlantic University from 2002-06, where he was coached by current FGCU head coach Neal Studd. In 2005, Babaev participated in the 200 medley relay that posted a school and Sun Belt Conference record. During his career he also broke the school records in the 50 free, 200 free relay, and 400 medley relay.
FGCU will host its first home meet of the season on Jan. 7 against ACC member Georgia Tech, North Dakota and CCSA member Liberty at the FGCU Aquatics Center at 11 a.m.

Shreveport police now say the reported robbery and beating with a baseball bat in Shreve City was a false report, and have arrested the man who called it in.
It happened just before 2 on Monday afternoon behind a retail complex in the 3100 block of Knight Street.
The victim told police two men used a bat on him and took his wallet before running off toward the Quail Creek Apartments.
Police say they learned that the robbery was actually a fight among the three men, and that it was the alleged victim that brought the bat.
Police say that man, identified as Haig Kitishin, has been arrested and booked for filing a false police report.

Another idea would be as a new home for Dublin City Council. Again, the parliamentary chambers could be occupied by our elected representatives. A directly elected Mayor could have their offices here too. Given that there are a number of major MNCs looking for large, high-profile offices in the city, the current Civic Offices could be sold to them.

If this were off Place Vendome then perhaps a private hotel might work; At this location no other bid rent would come within the distance of Listowel to the Leprechaun museum of creating the budget to interfere with a use that has earned its keep over roughly 200 years. Where would you put the Bank of Ireland's South inner city main branch if they are deprived of this one for a whimsical vanity project; they sold their old one across the road 7-8 years ago and don't have another major branch close to this in Dublin 2.

CNHI News Service
KOKOMO, Ind. — Alex Binkley, manager-in-training at Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant, got an unexpected lesson Sunday afternoon in coping with the sudden fear of a severe storm strike.
"As soon as I felt the wind beating up against the walls, I knew we were going to get hit," he recalled. "All our lights started shaking. All the TVs started shaking. Then the lights went out and the wind hit."
Binkley said he quickly directed more than two-dozen customers and employees into the restaurant's three walk-in food and beer coolers. They were soon joined by shoppers from nearby stores in the Kokomo Mall, including several people from J.C. Penney's, where the ceiling caved in.
By the time the ferocious winds hit their peak, said Binkley, 100 survivors were huddled safely in the coolers, waiting out the storm.
"Every building (in the mall) except ours pretty much got destroyed," he said. "But everybody here stayed pretty calm."
Binkley declared he restaurant and its coolers the "savior of the mall."
Authorities said Kokomo, located 60 miles north of Indianapolis, was the Indiana city hardest hit by Sunday's severe thunderstorms and tornadoes that swept across the Midwest. More than 6,000 homes and businesses lost power in and around Kokomo. There were no reports of death.
A few miles from the mall, Michael Gardner, 21, had just returned home with four of his friends from a church luncheon when the first tornado warnings occurred. Gardner said they scrambled from the second floor of the home to the basement just in time, with the last person jumping down the basement stairs as the house began to move.
In an instant, he said, the wind caused the house to collapse, burying Gardner and his friends in rubble. But none of them were harmed.
As the young men climbed out of the debris, they heard screaming from a neighbor's yard. A car lay on top of Melody Vandergriff, 25, her head caught beneath the rear bumper. They and neighbors tried to lift the car but could not do so. Emergency crews arrived shortly and freed Vandergriff.
Meanwhile, manager Jerry Smith dug through the rubble at BMO Harris Bank until he found the tattered American flag from the front of his building. The flag, he said, was about the only salvagable item from the destroyed bank.
"When I heard my bank was leveled, I thought people were stretching the truth," he said. "But it was leveled."

[Editor's note: This piece marks the debut of Reeling and Spinning, a weekly column by film and music critic Craig D. Lindsey about soundtracks.]
By Craig D. Lindsey
PressPlay contributor
Even though Quentin Tarantino's M.O. is to make movies swarming with references, tributes, hat tips and shout-outs to earlier works, Inglourious Basterds might be his most blatant salute to the power of cinema yet, because it's the first film he's done in which the knowledge of movies is power, and cinema itself can be used as a weapon. Yeah, it's a WW II movie, but it's a WW II movie where you'll find a British soldier who used to be a film critic, a German movie star working as a spy, and a vengeful Jewish-French heroine plotting to wipe out the whole Nazi elite by holing them up in the movie theater she runs and torching the place with flammable, nitrate film stock. The film itself is a mixed affair, giving viewers the best and worst of what Tarantino offers as a filmmaker. Yet all its elements are connected by the belief that movies can be an ass-kicking tool. And if there's a glue holding all that together, it's the 27 tracks that make up the movie's soundtrack. (Only 14 tracks appear on the officially-released CD.) Practically every composition, every cue, every repurposed piece of music on Basterds was taken from other films – often war films. In typical Tarantino fashion, the music spans decades, as the director uses music not just from the time period Basterds is set in (the early '40s), but from the '60s, '70s and '80s. The soundtrack's predominantly anachronistic tone actually accentuates Basterds' surreal attitude. The movie itself is such a whacked-out clusterfuck -- a bloodthirsty, Nazi-eradicating fantasy -- that that the presence of music from other eras hardly seems strange.
Tarantino has said that, like nearly every film he's done, Basterds is a spaghetti Western at heart. To that end, he populates the movie with instrumentals from renowned spaghetti Western composer Ennio Morricone. (Tarantino originally wanted Morricone to write new music, but Morricone was too busy scoring another flick.) Tarantino also picks up compositions that would feel right at home in a Leone-era spaghetti Western. Basterds starts off with "The Green Leaves of Summer," also known as the theme from the 1960 John Wayne film The Alamo. But instead of using Dimitri Tiomkin and Paul Francis Webster's vocally harmonious original, he uses a ripped-straight-from-an-old-LP, instrumental version by Perry Como collaborator Nick Perito. This particular version -- complete with Perito's weary, smoky accordion playing -- sounds quite spaghetti-esque. The composition also gives the movie a twisted, foreboding kick: Despite the song's rosy optimism, there's no way in hell none of that's going to appear in this movie.
Tarantino uses the Morricone tracks (which include a track Morricone did with Gillo Pontecorvo for The Battle of Algiers) very well. Morricone always had a knack for composing music that ratcheted up the sense of imminent danger in a scene, and Tarantino plays to that strength. The film's opening sequence he uses two Morricone pieces to cinematically bombastic effect. Tarantino starts off with the traditionally Westerny "The Verdict" when Christoph Waltz's Col. Landa visits the suspicious home of French farmer. Near the end of the scene, when Landa gets the farmer to give up the Jewish family living under his floorboards, he goes for the more orchestral "L'incontro Con La Figlia," complete with screeching violins and a thundering, choir-enhanced flourish that erupt when Nazis machinegun the floor and lone survivor Shosanna makes a run for it.
Morricone isn't the only film composer Tarantino drafts into service. He uses Charles Bernstein's loose, twangy main title theme from the Burt Reynolds hicksploitation film White Lightning as a virtual theme song for the titular Basterds, a group of vengeful Jewish soldiers led by Brad Pitt's proud redneck Aldo Raine. He also uses Bernstein's jarring "Bath Attack" track from The Entity quite startlingly when Shosanna meets up again with Landa. Works from Lalo Schifrin, Elmer Bernstein and Jacques Loussier -- many of them composed for savage war films -- also pop up on the soundtrack. There are brief glimmers of Tarantino sticking with the time period; specifically, he uses numbers that serve as background footnotes to the story. When we meet up with Diane Kruger's double-agent screen siren in the film's much-ballyhooed tavern scene, the music playing in the background is "Davon Geht Die Welt Nicht Unter" by German star (and rumored Soviet spy) Zarah Leander. Leander was also a star of German films many viewed as Nazi propaganda films. Since Nazi propaganda movies also figure in the movie's narrative, Tarantino uses "Ich Wollt Ich Waer Ein Huhn," a number that was used in a German propaganda film (a screwball comedy, believe it or not), in another part of the tavern scene.
Tarantino seems to take glee in finding cues that are proudly, unabashedly on-the-nose, as when he uses Billy Preston's theme to the blaxploitation movie Slaughter for the backstory of Til Schweiger's knife-wielding Nazi killer Hugo Stiglitz. And I certainly know a lot of my film nerd friends thought it was awesome when he used David Bowie and Giorgio Moroder's "Cat People (Putting Out the Fire)," from writer-director Paul Schrader's 1982 remake of Val Lewton's Cat People, as background music for Shosanna stylishly preparing to take revenge on the Nazis. However divisive Quentin Tarantino may be as a filmmaker, you have to admire how he selects music for his movies. Inglourious Basterds' eclectic score of previously-used tracks -- sampling war films, spaghetti Westerns, blaxploitation pictures, even a Nastassja Kinski flick -- may be a bigger celebration of the strength and power of movies than the film itself.

Good Craig great article, Tarantino is a geniuos!
Clarence Ewing | June 30, 2011 7:40 AM
Thanks for the insight, Craig. I agree with you about the movie itself. As a Tarantino fan, I feel "Basterds" is at best his fourth greatest film ("Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill," and "Reservoir Dogs" are better). I didn't really pay attention to the film's soundtrack, though. Not a bad excuse to revisit it!
preston | June 30, 2011 2:30 AM
Great piece, Craig! I'm very glad you are writing here. Looking forward to what you have coming up.
Scott | June 30, 2011 1:15 AM
This is a great idea for a column. I love Basterds and the scenes you mention and although I know that the soundtrack plays a big part in many of these scenes, it's not usually something I focus on consciously. Looking forward to watching this again with your article in mind.

"Mixed Affair" ?
Inglourious Basterds is one of his best flicks and his most successful to date with the most Oscar nominations. Great flick in every way.

Two years ago the New Orleans Hornets were in a potent position to dethrone the Los Angeles Lakers as the best team in the Western Conference. At current it seems that those days are long-gone memories, and I think it's quite sad that the fondest memories of the Hornets were winning in the first round and then losing to the Spurs in seven games.
Not only have things changed for the Hornets, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are now a team at the bottom of the barrel, with their messiah leaving the humble city for bigger horizons. The Lakers rather than being dethroned have gone on to win two championships and are still the team to beat. The Oklahoma City Thunder (Sonics) has replaced the Hornets as the "up-and-comer" in the league. Now it seems that Paul wants to follow in the foot-steps of Lebron rather than create his own. It's sad, but that's the way sports work. If a team doesn't put in place a short term and long term plan to remain consistently relevant it can fall apart at the seams and quickly disintegrate.
Lebron: Lebron says…cover your mouth
*Chris covers his mouth
Damage Control for Nouvelle Orleans
For the Hornets it is a state of damage control and immediate repairs are needed. A team once filled with shooters is now a team that is a mix of youth (Collison and Thornton) and aged, slow veterans (Stojakovic and Posey). After Monday's meeting with Paul the Hornets are putting together a plan to help build an immediate championship contender, "we have to be creative and Dell's got his work cut out," Monty Williams said at a Press conference on Tuesday, "going into the year with Marcus as our only two [shooting] guard we're certaintly going to have to shore up that spot. Nobody is the starting two guard on this team, that spot is up for grabs." Williams went on to say, "there may be a creative trade to fill that void." It's clear the team isn't settled heading into the season and that something must be in the works for Williams to immediately identify a weakness. But even if a trade were to be pulled off before the upcoming season, many believe it may not be enough.
Celebrities have their say on the matter
There is however still the issue of the starting small forward and the backup center positions. It seems however that Demps, "has his work cut out" but that he's up to the challenge. Monday's proceedings left me with somewhat renewed confidence of the Hornets current situation. But rather than feel relieved of the Hornets prospects it became immediately obvious that there is some external force at play, motivating the already current shifting dynamics in the NBA.
Shifting dynamics in the NBA, a superpower league
Old-timers like Jordan and Magic acknowledge that, "Kids these days had opportunities we didn't," but that Jordan says, "I wasn't looking to play with those guys I was hoping to beat them." Magic says something quite similar, "I came into the league looking at ways to beat Larry not to play with him." The days of competitive rivalry between the upper echelons of basketball talent within the league are fast becoming obsolete. An Olympian pact in Beijing is what is driving the league these days and the opportunity to be able to market this is at an all time high.
That is why the NBA landscape is changing. Is it for the better? Well if you're a Heat fan you certaintly think so. Lebron's management is pushing a two team superpower league, an advancement of the Magic-Bird rivalry, a shift towards the bigger city markets. There's no doubt that if your team is in a big city that the financial benefits are there. But when I look at competing sports it becomes clear that the NBA is very different to the NFL and NHL in that facet of spreading the competition.
Only just last season the New Orleans Saints won a Superbowl and in the past decade cities like New Jersey, Anaheim and Detroit have won the Stanley cup. Yet in the NBA only the Spurs have seemed to won a championship and it's debatable whether they are even a small market themselves (they are in Texas).
The NBA is becoming eerily similar to that of Premiership Soccer in England. For those of you not familiar there are really only four clubs in contention for the title. The next 4 clubs are in contention for qualifying spots in the European cup. While the rest just try and stay in the league and not to get relegated.
What ever happened to standing up for the little guy?
What happened to the Cavaliers is more than devastating it really is a tragedy that not even Shakespeare could conjure up. Sure there are sports nations out there who've never won a championship in decades, but Cleveland has done it in style. The NBA is trending and Chris Paul is the next target for Lebron's moguls to get him in a big market where he can surround himself with other superstar talents. Now there's nothing wrong with a firm trying to fill their clients need to win championships, but the problem is they are exercising options that really only involve big market franchises, what I'd like to see is LRMR try and assist the New Orleans Hornets rather than hinder their plan to help build a championship team in the Bayou city.
The rumors are according to the wonderful Ken Burger that, "According to multiple people within the NBA who are familiar with the Hornets' predicament...[CAA] are continuing to push Paul's exit strategy from New Orleans -- something members of the organization are well aware of and expected." Why does Paul's agency seek out ways to get him out? If they had Paul's best interests at heart they would help the Hornets task of bringing in top flight talent. But no, they have Lebron's grand scheme at work.It is somewhat Lebron's fault because he and his agency are pushing him out, so blaming him is quite a rational thought. They must not only get Chris out, they must re-shape the NBA and for two teams that are superpowers a kin to the Cold War. There is a bigger picture at work and NBA fans of New Orleans, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Sacramento and even Washington are not part of this.
The Hornets and their action plan
For the Hornets there are three things that have to happen in the next 12 months.
1. Gary Chouset must purchase the Hornets as soon as possible
I stated back in a piece I wrote a while back, that in order to set a common direction the organizations first priority would be to sort out the ownership situation. I never fully understood the importance of a steady ownership, but what it does to the marketability of the club is staggering. The financial implication is that with Chouset the Hornets will be willing to go out and spend. It must be noted that previously the Hornets have spent money on Peja Stojakovic, Morris Peterson, James Posey and Tyson Chandler. But with Chouset not only can the organization fund more for player salaries but it can fund an expanded front-office, conditioning, facilities and other important investments in building a championship team. To free agents ownership stability is often an important trait of an organization.
2. The Hornets must win more than 50 games
This is essential to retain Chris Paul. Last season the 8th seed in the west scraped through with 50 wins. That probably won't happen this year but 50+ wins ensure to Paul's group that the organization is heading in the right direction. If you win it puts the media at large to rest, the hype settles and ultimately free agents seek you out rather than avoid you. Winning solves everything, from revenue for an organization to a disgruntled star. It is possible to win 50 games, I do believe that but it all depends on the health of the team. Players missed a combined 300+ games last season for the Hornets. If we can remain healthy I can assure you that we will make the playoffs. Remember the Hornets haven't been truly healthy since the 2007-08 season and remember what happened there.
Byron Scott look-a-like contest winner, Monty Williams, makes an announcment that Chris Paul loves 'stash
3. The Hornets must acquire top-flight talent
This comes from the above two, but the front office realizes that acquiring talent to the roster is a must. There's no joking about this time. If we screw around like we did this free agency Paul is really going to demand a trade. The real question is when?
I look at three time periods when the Hornets are likely to acquire new players to the roster. The first is before this season starts. As previously noted, Monty feels that there is a need for another 2-guard. I expect this to happen before the season begins. Nothing major will happen before the season starts. The second will be towards the trade deadline. If the Hornets aren't playing well expect rumors to fly around that Chris is leaving, but I think also that if this is the scenario the team will really make a push to get rid of Peja's big contract and bring in a big-name to turn the season around. Even if we're playing well, expect the Hornets to shake things up a bit. The third period will be next year's free agent period. People are talking 'Melo and I think if he opts out there's a case to be made for him. But there must be something done in this period at all costs. We will have 22 million dollars in expiring contracts so there's no excuse to be made.
It's not inconceivable that the Hornets get together a championship roster in the next season. But I think we must pinch ourselves because the reality is that it really is difficult to put together a roster that can compete with the Heat. Any slip up in the next year (and by slip up I mean not winning and not acquiring talent) you can bet your bottom dollar that Paul's agent will be pressing hard to get his client out.
We're not out of the woods yet. The NBA is changing drastically and if New Orleans can't accommodate for their superstar then the trend of small markets becoming irrelevant in the NBA will only be hastened.

Editorial: Mayor-Council Appointments Vital In Tough Economy
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 21 November 2012 23:29
- Written by Super User
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
The Carolina Beach Town Council has seen its ranks decrease from five to three along with the resignation of Town Manager Tim Owens.
Elected officials are chosen by voters through a detailed campaign process. The same should apply in this case.
The remaining three Council members have decided to take applications for those two vacant seats on Council and that's a great idea. However, the interviewing process and ultimate decision should, and legally must, be made in an open meeting. Now the question is, how does the appointment process play out? See the report, " Carolina Beach Council Meets To Discuss Interim Town Manager And Filling Council Vacancies" on page 1-A for an explanation.
These vacancies need to be filled promptly but carefully with attention to the level of potential applicant business and governmental experience.
The Council plans to make appointments at their December meeting. The very next month they will likely begin the budget planning process without a full-time Town Manager.
Considering the numerous big-ticket financial issues facing the Town amid the current economic times, those who are appointed will be faced with a daunting task of becoming educated on issues and participating in adopting a budget and whether or not to raise property taxes, fees, and selecting the next Town Manager.
Council members Steve Shuttleworth, Sarah Friede and Bob Lewis are about to make one of the most important decisions of their political careers.
The process should not come down to selection based on whether candidates approve or disapprove of a particular list of projects; it should focus on views of budgeting, land use and overall experience. Voters will decide next November if the appointees were a good choice.

Each year, approximately 140,000 patients are affected by deficit of the seventh cranial nerve, which provides signals for the facial expression muscles for one side of the face. Of these patients, about half are unlikely to recover, and many sustain permanent damage to the eye. Current treatments for this disorder include sewing the eyelids together, connecting other nerves to the facial nerve, and implanting gold weights into the upper eyelid. Unfortunately, these treatments can disfigure patients and do not restore dynamic restoration of blinking.
This E-Team is developing a prosthetic device to facilitate blinking in patients suffering from facial nerve palsy. The device will consist of a number of tiny silicon chips that act as both actuators and sensors. The devices will be implanted in upper eyelids, and function as sensors on the unaffected side to pace the actuators on the affected side. The dual sensing/actuating nature of the system will allow the device to sense any recovery of the nerve on the affected side and calibrate itself accordingly. Power is provided to the chips by a device contained on prosthetic eyeglasses with a powering antenna wound in the lens holders, and a battery in the earpieces.
