By Doug Walker - bio | email
GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) - Samuel Lovato is still in shock as he recalls the terrible moment when he lost his beloved pet, Melmo, in an instant.
Police were called to a possible break-in at the house next door in the Brentwood subdivision.
"I'm coming out of the house, I just got out of the shower, to go get my dog and I'm opening my door and I see a female cop. And she shot between five and six rounds at my dog," Lovato remembered. "I looked at her and I was shocked. And I said, 'I can't believe you just shot my dog,' and I proceeded to go back in the house."
Melmo was a big dog, more than 120 pounds, but the animal was on a chain in Lovato's back yard. Lovato questioned the use of deadly force.
"The officer was standing approximately right about here, about 30 feet away from where the chain ends."
After the shooting, the dog's obviously distraught owner brought the animal for treatment at the Gulfport Veterinary Hospital, but it was too late. The wounds were too severe and the animal could not be saved.
Dr. Jerry Spears is the veterinarian who treated Melmo.
"From the wounds that I examined, it looks like it had a spinal injury which paralyzed him from the hind legs," Dr. Spears said. "Profuse bleeding from his mouth, plus some internal injuries, both of which led us to euthanize the animal."
Police are looking into the incident, according to Lt. Craig Petersen with the Gulfport Police Department.
"First, we need to conduct our internal investigation," Lt. Petersen said. "I feel really bad for the gentleman and the loss of his dog, but we'll conduct the internal investigation."
He also said that officers have to make life and death decisions in an instant, including assessing threats from animals.
"The officer has discretion in how to protect themselves in these situations, totally up to the officer based on the facts and circumstances of that particular case."
But this case has left a hole in Lovato's heart that won't heal anytime soon.
"I've had her for 11 years. Eleven years. She was a great dog, a good dog and she was just in her yard doing her job and just being a dog."
There is no timetable for when the investigation will be completed. The officer involved in the shooting remains on active duty.

Bryan Thomas - #58 - LB
|6' 4"/ 265 lbs.
|Birmingham, AL
|Years played
|2002, 1st round, 22nd pick by Jets
Jets bring back OLB Thomas
The Jets brought back OLB Bryan Thomas on Monday, two days after releasing the former first-round pick.
Jets release former first-round LB Thomas
The Jets have released former first-round LB Bryan Thomas and signed CB Donnie Fletcher from the practice squad.
Jets' Revis, Keller, Thomas ruled out for Sunday
The Jets will be without CB Darrelle Revis, TE Dustin Keller and OLB Bryan Thomas for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Jets quiet at start of free agency
For once, the Jets are the quiet ones, having made their noise before the free-agency frenzy, but it's too soon to tell if that's a good thing.
Jets re-sign OLB Thomas
The Jets agreed in principle on a new contract with OLB Bryan Thomas, keeping him as the longest-tenured player on the roster.
Jets have decisions to make on Thomas, Leonhard
Two of the Jets' leaders on defense are on injured reserve, and both are up for new contracts — OLB Bryan Thomas and S Jim Leonhard.
Jets struggling to stop outside run plays
The Jets' run defense has been stout up the middle, but it is struggling to stop plays to the outside.
Jets' Thomas placed on I.R.
The Jets have placed OLB Bryan Thomas on injured reserve and signed linebacker Eddie Jones from the practice squad.
Jets to use rotation to replace OLB Thomas
The Jets will have to rotate with some young players, starting with Jamaal Westerman, to replace injured OLB Bryan Thomas.
Jets OLB Thomas out for season with torn Achilles
The Jets announced Monday that OLB Bryan Thomas will miss the rest of the 2011 season with a torn Achilles. Thomas suffered the injury in Sunday night's loss to the Ravens.
Rotation key to good health for Jets' outside 'backers
The Jets' outside linebacker rotation has allowed all three players to stay fresh and avoid an overwhelming physical toll.
The NFL says it is monitoring a case involving Thomas, who was arrested in October after being accused of assaulting his wife and possessing marijuana paraphernalia and painkillers.||||||| The Daily Record of Morristown, N.J., reports Tuesday that Thomas is applying for admission into a probation program that requires no admission of guilt. The newspaper reports that Thomas, scheduled to become a free agent in March, was arrested Oct. 31, according to Morristown Superior Court records. In a statement, the Jets say they are "aware of the report," and declined comment "until the legal process has run its course."
The New York Jets have released Thomas, their longest-tenured player, to make room on their roster for cornerback Donnie Fletcher, who was signed off the practice squad.||||||| Thomas was the team's first-round draft pick in 2002 and has been a key part of the Jets' defense. He missed most of last season with a torn left Achilles tendon, but was re-signed to a one-year contract in March. Thomas has been dealing with a hamstring injury the last two weeks, and was listed as doubtful for the Jets' game at Miami on Sunday. He was replaced in the starting defense by Garrett McIntyre.
The Jets have re-signed Thomas, who missed most of last season with a torn left Achilles tendon, to a one-year contract.||||||| Thomas, 32, will enter his 11th season with the Jets as their longest-tenured player after being the team's first-round pick out of Alabama-Birmingham in 2002. He led Rex Ryan's defense with six sacks in 2010, but was placed on injured reserve last October after getting hurt at Baltimore in Week 4. Thomas, a solid but never flashy player during his career, became a free agent Tuesday and it was uncertain if the Jets would re-sign him.
The New York Jets have placed linebacker Bryan Thomas on season-ending injured reserve and signed linebacker Eddie Jones from the practice squad.||||||| The move Saturday to place Thomas on IR was expected after he tore his left Achilles tendon in the Jets' 34-17 loss at Baltimore last Sunday. Thomas was in his 10th season with the Jets and their longest-tenured player, but is due to become a free agent after this season. He led Rex Ryan's squad with six sacks last season.
The New York Jets signed defensive end-linebacker Bryan Thomas to a contract extension Friday.||||||| Thomas, the Jets' first-round pick out of UAB in 2002, is on pace for his best season. He has a career-high five sacks, including two last Sunday against Houston, and is sixth on the team with 58 tackles. Thomas is splitting time at defensive end and linebacker after primarily playing on the line his first few seasons. Thomas, who has 11 1-2 NFL sacks, was the 22nd overall pick after breaking the Conference USA record with 35 sacks.

Saints secondary coach Dennis Allen will interview for the Eagles' vacant defensive coordinator position on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported earlier in the week that the Eagles received permission to interview Allen.
Allen has been with the Saints since 2006, beginning as the assistant defensive line coach before being named the team's secondary coach in 2008.
The Eagles fired long-time assistant Sean McDermott, who had been their defensive coordinator the past two seasons. McDermott is now a member of the Panthers' new coaching staff under Ron Rivera.
The way we see it
The Eagles lost their secondary coach, Dick Jauron, to the Browns last Friday. Jauron was possibly a candidate for the position. Whoever gets hired will have some young talent with rookies Brandon Graham and Nate Allen on defense. The Eagles struggled mightily this season in red-zone "D."

Elastic Computing Platform Solutions For Service Providers
For Service Providers
In today's highly competitive environment, carriers, hosting companies, and other service providers are encountering a new challenge. The rise of infrastructure-on-demand services, such as those offered by Amazon, Rackspace, and others represents a threat to existing revenue lines, as well as a significant market opportunity.
Enomaly's Elastic Computing Platform, Service Provider Edition, is specifically designed to meet the requirements of carriers, xSPs, and hosting providers who want to offer an Infrastructure-on-Demand or IaaS service to their customers.
Flexible Cloud Service Business & Revenue Models
When designing public-use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms that are also cost-effective and revenue-generating, the difficulty lies in provisioning resources for both peak and low-volume usage periods while providing an agreed upon minimum service standard.
Enomalys ECP is based on two essential principles oversubscription and quality-of-service quota management, which together enable powerful capacity administration. In a public cloud infrastructure, an oversubscription model depends on the ratio of allocated resources to the maximum peak usage levels, the frequency and volume of peak usage, and the minimum service level agreement. The key is to manage resources around the standard deviation from the normal usage benchmarks while simultaneously guaranteeing a particular quality-of-service for each customer.
Enomalys ECP quota system provides a predetermined level of deviation across a specified resource pool of customers. Service Provides can oversubscribe their environments allowing for a variety of pricing & costing schemes to be implemented using a model that incorporates usage tiers, quality-of-service tiers, and the ability to provision additional resources dynamically as desired.

While I like the repetition of the Ee sounds, Cs and Ls in Gwenllian Circe Alcyone, the singsonginess is definitely an acquired taste. May as well throw Niniane on the heap. I might like to see something a bit rougher at the end of this name. Gwenllian is like twisted glass, and Circe is sleek mercury. Together their effect is so smooth and liquid. How about something to bring out Gwenllian's earthier side?
Gwenllian Circe Heather (Too 80s? Gwenllian fresh off the moor with heather sprigs caught in her bootlaces?)
Gwenllian Circe Lark (Lark brightens up Circe's darkness)
Gwenllian Circe Maud (Maud gives regal height, imo.)
Gwenllian Circe Iona (Windblown and Scottish, the right texture.)
Gwenllian Zenobia Circe (This sounds funky until you consider your last name. Then it becomes "Gwenllian Zenobia .. Circe E..." which is just smashing.)
Gwenllian Circe Isolde (Why not?)
Gwenllian Circe Mystis (I prefer this to Mist. Nymph, nurse to Dionysius, name means "an initiate of the mysteries")
Still liking Aeronwy and Eilonwy.

JU mourns the passing of legend Roger Strickland
Related Links
Roger Strickland, legendary baseball and basketball star at Jacksonville University in the early 1960s, passed away on Wednesday morning at the age of 70.
Strickland set the standard for JU student-athletes, becoming the school's first All-America selection in both baseball and basketball. Following his unprecedented collegiate career, he was selected in the NBA and MLB drafts.
"Everyone in the JU athletics family has a heavy heart today with the loss of Roger Strickland," said JU director of athletics Alan Verlander. "Roger had a great love and passion for JU and our athletic programs. Since his arrival on campus, he has been a driving force for JU athletics. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family as not only has Jacksonville University lost a giant of a man, but so has the city of Jacksonville. "
Armed with his degree in business administration, Strickland went on to a career at BellSouth and retired as the vice president of communication.
Strickland was also a staunch supporter of JU athletics throughout his life, helping create and serving as president of the JU Athletic Association (JUAA), as well as the JU Athletics Hall of Fame - which he served as chairman of since its rebirth in 2007.
He is survived by his sisters Alice Fitzgerald, Theresa Langrehr, Lynn Vitall and Donna DiAngelis, and brothers Edward and Brad Strickland. He also leaves behind two sons, Michael and Douglas, and a daughter, Rebecca.
There will be a vigil and visitation at Prince of Peace Church on Friday, Feb. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. The funeral mass will be at Prince of Peace Church on Saturday, Feb. 12, at 11 a.m. The family will have a private burial service.

The San Diego Chargers hold the 18th overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft and predictions have them targeting pass rushers and defensive backs. SB Nation's Chargers blog, Bolts from the Blue, thinks they'll end up taking Mark Barron out of Alabama, if he's available.
Mark Barron, SS from Alabama. The Chargers' biggest weakness since Shawne Merriman's knee was destroyed by the Tennessee Titans has been the lack of a consistent pass-rush and/or an elite pass-rusher. Their second biggest weakness has been at SS, where they've filled the role with role players and career backups since releasing Rodney Harrison in 2003. Barron would fill that hole and form a strong backup to the defense along with Eric Weddle.

Guns and ammunition are flying off store shelves, as gun owners are afraid that new restrictive gun laws are coming in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Walmart has announced that it is limiting customers to three boxes of ammunition per person, per day. Doug Williams, manager at Dick Williams Gun Shop in Saginaw, says he's had to limit purchases as well.
"The .223 we've been having to limit, certain handgun calibers," Williams said.
Williams says customers are having trouble finding ammunition, and that has resulted in "a little bit of panic buying," but once Congress acts, he expects ammunition supply and demand to return to normal levels.

TWO men have been caught red-handed breaking into a house in Grays.

They targeted the house at 3.45pm on Saturday, February 1.
Now police are trying to track them down.
Central and east Thurrock neighbourhood sergeant Insp. Lee Argent said: "Responsible for dwelling burglary in Grays on 1 Feb. who are they?"

That is so scary. I am about to close on my first home after my meeting with my mortgage company (Avrus Mortgage) next Wednesday and my biggest fear is that I am going to get robbed. I am moving to a strange college town where I hardly know anyone. I am definitely going to have to get some cameras put up. Do you think the cameras should be clear as day or hidden? You would think if a house has cameras that are noticeable that it would stop people from trying to rob your house.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Lint from a clothes dryer ignited in the basement of an apartment at 2 Leblanc Lane on Tuesday, causing the appliance to catch fire.
Plattsburgh City Fire Lt. Shawn Clark said that a tenant called 911 to report the fire at about 6:30 p.m.
"Most of the damage was to the dryer, but there was minor smoke and water damage to the apartment," he said.
No one was injured as a result of the fire, and the department was back in service at about 8 p.m.
"The occupants of the apartment won't be spending the night there," Clark said. "The owner of the building was going to make arrangements for the night at a local establishment."
The tenants can return after repairs are made and the apartment is cleaned, he said.

NATO claims it has no information about casualties. Locals say more than 40 died. A Taliban spokesperson, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi dismissed the significance of the battle: "Losing Musa Qala doesn't mean that we will stop fighting."

"The number of districts in which the Taliban operate exploded last year," says John McCreary, former senior intelligence analyst for the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. "This is the first year they have managed to sustain over 100 attacks per month for a whole year since they started to climb back. One hundred attacks per month used to be a surge figure. Now it is the new norm."
In fact the number of attacks averages 548 a month. According to the UN, it is too risky to send aid teams into one-fifth of the country. "The river now appears to be running backward," as one analyst described the situation.
What happened at Musa Qala happens in virtually every province in the country: The insurgents move in, hand out money skimmed from the lucrative opium trade, and drive out or intimidate local government forces. Then, through roadside bombs, midnight mortar attacks, and ambushes, the insurgents force NATO troops to hunker down in fortified camps.

Brides find the dress while fighting breast cancer
Brides Against Breast Cancer stops in Colorado Springs
Brides to be are swarming the Antlers Hilton in Colorado Springs. It's all part of the 'Brides Against Breast Cancer' national tour. It's the first time the "Nationwide Tour of Gowns" stopped in the Springs.
A couple of happy ladies found their perfect dress while giving hope to other women.
"Very exciting to have found the dress," said Donna Webster.
Donna Webster is getting married June 7. She never thought she'd end up at the "Tour of Gowns" looking for *the* dress.
"It means everything. For one thing, I'm done and it's a great cause," she said.
Brides Against Breast Cancer's Nationwide Tour of Gowns raises $2 million every year for cancer patients, giving hope one dress at a time.
"That money that would just go to a designer is actually going to go to an organization that's going to do some good for some people and that means a lot," said Webster.
"I just always imagined going to a bridal shop, buying a new gown, but I like this," said Jessica Timm.
Jessica Timm has more than a year until her big day, but finding a gown at the brides against breast cancer event, she said, "I'm going to feel awesome and like I said it's a good cause and it's going for something that needs to be done."
What also needs to be done are those other bride tasks. Vendors were also on hand catering to every girl's needs.
"The best part is seeing a brides smiling face when she says yes, and to know she did something to help out other people who are going through a hard time," said Brides Against Breast Cancer spokesperson Kelsey Anderson.
"It's awesome," said Webster.
Webster said she will donate her dress after her wedding. Timm said she'll think about doing the same.
You still have a chance to find a gown, they'll be open again Sunday (1/19/14) at 11. You can find more information at http://www.bridesagainstbreastcancer.org.

The Avera Heart Hospital is holding a life-saving clinic this week and it doesn't involve patients per say. Nancy Naeve Brown has more on the defibrillator clinic and why it's so important to have them checked.
When Gary Schepel was notified about the automated external defibrillator clinic going on at the Avera Heart Hospital, he knew he was going to take advantage of it. Schepel is a nurse at the McCrossan Boys Ranch and because of the sprawling campus and the amount of visitors, staff and boys they have on hand any given day and during there big fundraisers. They have 3 AED's on hand. An AED shocks the heart after you've gone into cardiac arrest. It basically brings you back to life.
"They talk about the 10 minute guide for every minute the heart isn't beating or blood isn't circulating you can lose 10% brain and body function so it's vitally important the earlier you can get the defib into position and ready to go the better chance you have of saving a life. CPR done seldom will revive the heart due to the electrical system that runs the heart so we need the electrical shock to restart it," Gary Schepel said.
But in order to do its job the AED needs to be fully functional at any given moment. That's why the Avera Heart Hospital and Sioux Falls Fire rescue hold yearly defib clinics.
"We are checking the defibs we have out there for batteries and pads. There's absolutely no different than fire extinguishers they have to be serviced. Really sorry part of this if you need a defib and it's been sitting in its case for 6 or 7 years and doesn't work because the battery is dead that's very sad," Jon Soderholm CEO of the Avera Heart Hospital said.
The Avera Heart Hospital sells AED's at no-profit for $1200. They partnered with Fire Rescue in 2003 an effort to get first responders equipped. It started with one, now there are 1,100 + in police cars, fire trucks and ambulances, plus in schools, churches and public buildings.
"There are people who probably wouldn't be around if it weren't for defibs," Soderholm said.
If you come across someone who is in cardiac arrest the first thing to do is call 911. In Sioux Falls the AED's are registered and the operator can even tell you if there is an AED in that building. , if not start CPR immediately and wait for first responders.
"The thing to remember when you put one on is you aren't going to hurt the person. It's designed to only shock 2 particular rhythms, its fail safe. You can't hurt the person, but if you do nothing that person will die. Do something, put the defib on and it will take charge and tell you what to do,"Chief Jim Sideras with Sioux Falls Fire Rescue said.
Gary Schepel knew what to do by bringing in their AED's because one needed new batteries and new patches. And if you are the person who goes in to cardiac arrest at McCrossan's, you'll thank your lucky stars for his due-diligence.
The Avera Heart hospital will be holding AED clinics in Aberdeen at Avera St. Luke's from 10-2. For more information on this go to: http://www.avera.org/heart-hospital/index.aspx

This is a novel geared for adults but I read it in my early teens in the 70's. The story is set in a futuristic anti-utopia that probably seemed far distant back then, but I think we are there now, which might be why I cannot find it; maybe it is too ludicrous in the light of real world internet experience. Still I would like to re-read this book.
It has two simultaneous story lines that alternate every chapter. In one story line we follow this computer expert as he flees from...perhaps malicious government forces or annoyed corperations...I'm not sure. The other story line is the same computer guy who has apparently been caught and is being interveiwed by a a psychologist. They parry words and ideas as the psychologist gently tries to coax the Computer Guy into doing what he wants (sabotaging some corperate or government system I think), while the computer guy is trying to decide if he can really trust the psychologist. It is this exchange of ideas that I want to re-read now. I loved the adventure of his flight when I was 12, but thought the interview scenes were rather too intellectual at the time.
It is very suspenceful and then all ends happily ever after. Can you help me find this story?

---- — Concert, Christmas
TO THE EDITOR: "Outstanding" succinctly describes the performance of the youngsters at the Oak Street School winter concert that I attended.
Kudos to the music director; it was worth the trip from Massachusetts to see youngsters perform so genuinely and adeptly, particularly our grandchildren. All are deserving of an A plus.
Sadly, however, there was a presumably and intentional omission of the crux of the occasion: Christmas.
To be sure, the program contained the symbol of the menorah (fine), a symbol of a "holiday" tree (OK), stick figures of four images of people singing (acceptable), but no image or representation of what the "holiday" is about: Christmas (totally unacceptable).
No Hint of a cross or manger scene, no hint of Christmas. What's more, this secularistic program also contained no carols of the savior.
Gone are the days when it was OK to sing about Jesus. Gone are the days when it was OK to mention God in school. Gone are the days when it was OK to say a prayer in public.
Shame on this rapidly decaying society — from the White House; federal, state and local politicians; ACLU; and school boards.
God-fearing people — who respect principles on which this country was founded — are increasingly evaporating into a callous, indifferent, apathetic society. Unless America wakes up, Christmas will no longer be a part of our heritage.
With all due respect to all who read this: "Merry Christmas."

Town activities
TO THE EDITOR: As we look forward to ski season, we are filled with warm memories of summer activities, including paddling trips sponsored by the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department.
Guided by Recreation & Youth Services Director Melanie Defayette and Recreation Program Coordinator Erin Pranghorn, the trips were delightful experiences full of fun and fellowship.
This year, Mel and Erin combined Saranac River trips with historical tours of Crab and Valcour islands.
On Crab Island, Herman Drollette, Linda and Roger Harwood and Town Historian Gerald Bates brought to life the noteworthy history of our "back yard." Roger's subsequent tour of Valcour Island included the lighthouse museum and glacial grooves exposed by last year's flooding.
Personal experiences expanded with the addition of a lightweight canoe. With generous, experienced friends, we explored Adirondack rivers and lakes, sometimes paddling with ducks and loons!
For winter enjoyment, the town provides myriad activities: townofplattsburghrecreation.com. The Cadyville park is an important feature for all-season activities. We appreciate the efforts to purchase this fine facility and hope the outcome will be positive.
Thank you, Mel and Erin.
Government makeup
TO THE EDITOR: If you live in Essex County, please lend yourself a hand.
Your residence is subject to taxation from town, county, maybe village. You vote for a town supervisor and maybe even a mayor, but you don't vote for someone whose sole purpose is to represent you at the county.
The county budget is 14 times the size of the largest township budget, but no one manages only county business. The supervisors are elected by their town citizenship and attempt to manage both town and county government.
New York has 62 counties, only 18 administered through supervisory weighted voting from township elected officials. The other 44 counties operator under legislative government, which evenly provides for a small number of board members elected from equally sized established districts within the county. These legislative boards of as few as 5 members have the sole responsibility to run only the county.
The county residents elect both a supervisor for their town and a legislator for the county. When elected officials dedicate their entire energy and skills to one government, better management is achieved.
The managing editor of the Essex County-based Valley News, John Gereau, published an editorial that showed the cost savings with legislative government could be as much as $300,000 annually.
Eighteen supervisors are trying to agree on how to run Essex County. Weighted voting puts nearly all the decision power in the hands of three members from our largest townships of North Elba, Ticonderoga and Moriah. You're paying 18 county administrators when only three really run the county.
The prime advantage is better management structure representing everyone equally. Better management means better government, and that is currently lacking.
It's time for change in Essex County.
Lake Placid
County confusion
TO THE EDITOR: Please help me understand this. A former town supervisor is determined, by the good old boys, to be the most qualified applicant for personnel director, then he is the most qualified to be the county manager and also the only one in the whole county qualified to be the IT director.
Then he comes up with a cockamamie scheme to soak the public in taxes so the Board of Supervisors can increase spending in the future. The Board of Supervisors suddenly finds $2+ million of federal money that no one (?) knew about and refused his plan, and he retires petulantly in a snit.
He shortly thereafter experiences buyer's remorse, and plans are put into motion to beg him to rescind his retirement, one of the major arguments being his indispensability and the six months needed to find a replacement. Even the Pope isn't that indispensable.
Combine the above with other statements made by our board of rocket scientists (sorry, supervisors), such as: They cannot cut any workers from an already bloated nepotistic county government. They cannot go a year without giving mid-level managers a pay raise. They need to "bet on the come" with the sale of Horace Nye for operating funds. They did not know about the $2.8 million from FEMA. They did not understand how the accounting is done in the county.
We have the Board of Supervisors saying one thing, the indispensable good old boy county manager saying another thing, and the county treasurer saying a third. With all of this, we the taxpayers of the county are supposed to have confidence in our county government. I think not.
Please, Santa, give us a County Legislature, a professional county manager and possibly some sanity from Elizabethtown in 2013.
Christmas jars
TO THE EDITOR: To whomever left the jars of change and bills on the doorstep of Augur Lake, thank you.
You have touched our family's heart more than you could possibly know. I cried when I saw it and have passed on the story to inspire others.
I will be passing this forward next year.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you and bless you for bringing hope and faith to humanity.

Days after a 10-year-old girl was found dead in a garbage can in Gwinnett County, more questions than answers remain for those that knew the girl's family.The body of Emani Moss was stuffed in a garbage can early Saturday after the girl's father, Eman Moss, called 911 around 3:45 a.m. Saturday and said that his daughter drank some sort of chemical and was dead. Authorities have said that Emani appeared to be emaciated and that her body had been burned in an attempt to conceal the death.Eman Moss and the girl's stepmother, Tiffany Moss, have been charged with murder.Christy Fresh said that she knew the Moss family and that she's now questioning everything she saw inside their home. "There were times that I would see Emani standing like this on boxes and chairs for hours. Emani had tears come out. You can tell she was distraught and upset," said Fresh.Fresh said that Tiffany Moss used to babysit her son. She said that her son seemed happy and unharmed, so she never questioned Moss' method of disciplining her own children. "We knew how much Eman loved Emani, so it was kind of like, how could Eman let it happen," Fresh said.While Fresh said there were no signs of physical abuse, in retrospect, she questions whether she missed a chance to report something. She also questions why Division of Family and Children Services allowed Emani to return to her father and stepmother's home even after Tiffany was charged with child cruelty for beating Emani in 2010. "She had scratches on her, bruises on her and she had the courage to go to the school and say that; someone should have intervened," said Fresh.State Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver has spent years writing legislation relating to child abuse. She said there's no easy answers in the case. She said there had been a "pattern of abuse from an early age" in Moss' case."Emani Moss' death was preventable and the state was engaged in trying to prevent harm to her and we failed," Oliver said.
Oliver said that while DFACS case workers can't predict when parents will murder, the agency must do a better job of screening what she calls predictors for continued abuse. She said that 55 other children were murdered this year alone by parents or caregivers who'd been reported to the state.
"How many of those deaths were preventable, and what were the obstacles to preventing those deaths," Oliver asked.
FOX 5 was unable to get a comment from DFACS regarding Emani Moss' case.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Folks traveling through Harlem will soon see a new change to one of their major intersections. One that will help prevent more traffic accidents.
It will be located at Pumpkin Center, that's where Wrightsboro Road meets Appling-Harlem and Ray Owens Roads. Over the years there have been so many accidents at that location, plus it will make traveling through the area, a lot easier for motorists and cyclists. The roundabout will be single-lane for vehicles, but have an extra lane dedicated to only big vehicles like buses and semi-trucks.
County officials say they're looking forward to the new construction, knowing that stats have proven roundabouts can reduce traffic accidents by as much as 75%.
"It's just safer, you never have to stop," said Pam Tucker, EMA Director for Columbia County. "You don't have those conflict points where you have to stop and maybe somebody's running a stop sign or traffic signals that slow down the flow. You never stop, you just continue to go."
"My own husband had an accident at the intersection, and it was a bad accident, so I know firsthand that a roundabout would have totally prevented that," said Tucker. "So you know, down the road people will start to learn to appreciate it and when they do start using it they'll say, you know this is very good."
The project is funded through the Georgia Department of Transportation. Completion is expected in Spring of 2014.

To cast a line in a foreign clime represents one of the ultimates in angling. We save, we plan, and when the time is right, we go. It's not like a morning run to a nearby trout stream or bass lake. International travel creates fantasies and expectations of almost unbounded proportions. The fish (your dream fish here, be it salmon, bonefish, tarpon or tuna) of a lifetime is the prospect and project. Reality can either confirm or confound such magical thinking. Sometimes the fishing gods smile on you, and sometimes they don't. If your quarry is there and willing, the hook-set is sure and the line holds, the miracle happens. You grip and grin for the requisite photos, and memories are enduringly etched and e-mailed to one and all. However, this is an account of a time when the angling spirits were, if not scowling, decidedly indifferent to our fishing fate. What you do under such circumstances and how you react to adversity distinguishes the positive from the long, hard slog into piscatorial purgatory or worse.
My wife, Beth, and I arrived in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Belize, on May 28, 2008, in hopes of taking advantage of some of the best tarpon, permit and bonefish prospects in the Caribbean. Visions of a flats grand slam played in our heads. Our guide, one of San Pedro's best, Capt. Pedro "Pete" Graniel, was optimistic. Bonefish were abundant and tarpon were rolling along the reef line and in the backwater channels of the island. A permit shot was always possible. Life, as the saying goes, was good.
Absent from our ambitious speculations was the meteorological fact that hundreds of miles to the west, Pacific Tropical Storm Alma was steadily bearing down on Nicaragua. On our first day out, on the flats south of Ambergris Caye, we connected with a score of fine bonefish, but slow-trolling the reef line for tarpon with Belizean sardina (in Florida, they're pilchards) produced little but a pleasant afternoon in the Belizean sun. "There's always tomorrow," I thought to myself. As Capt. Pete brought his panga back to the dock, he looked at the gathering clouds in the southwest and uttered the prescient words: "I don't like the looks of that." In this case, looks were far from deceiving.
Alma had crossed Nicaragua. It reconstituted, switched genders and became Atlantic Tropical Storm Arthur. The storm tracked north along the coast of Belize - for more than three days. Seventy-two consecutive hours of torrential rain anywhere is not much fun, but throw in frequent power failures and winds gusting to 60 knots and you have an adventure that no sane person would select. We stayed in our hotel and waited, waited, waited. After an estimated 10 to 15 inches of rain, we ventured forth to the very waterlogged, partially flooded streets of San Pedro. We had two days remaining before our flight back to Baltimore. I found Capt. Pete at his dock, bailing out his flats boat. When I asked if we should go out, Pete smiled and replied, "Well, we can always try, señor." And that's just what we did.
For the next two days, we found no tarpon, no bonefish and absolutely no permit, but ladyfish, jack crevalles and barracuda were more than obliging. Rods bent to the strain, drags were screaming and our smiles could not have been more expansive. We had fun. We caught fish. Not the fish we expected or fantasized, not the fish awarded top ranks in the saltwater angling pantheon. But there are times when one should forget devised hierarchies. We left Belize with spirits elevated and will willingly return someday to continue our flats quests. We learned not merely to tolerant other fish, but to embrace any opportunity to test our skills. And from our encounter with Tropical Storm Arthur and a truncated fishing vacation, Beth and I devised two rules that will center our sanity and serve us or anyone well. These are scarcely earth-shaking mysteries made plain; they are simply two applications of good common sense that help make days on the water more enjoyable.
Fish for What's There and Appreciate It
While the runs of bonefish or permit can be mind-boggling intense and the leaps of tarpon absolutely gravity defying, there are other fish that provide a similar adrenalin rush. Jack crevalle, the tropical Energizer Bunny on steroids, defines the word "indefatigable." Their circular runs around the boat that make a fisherman yearn for a fighting belt and sometimes a wrist transplant make one quickly understand why jack crevalles are nicknamed "toro" in Belize.
Barracuda are probably the most underappreciated game fish, but with their substantial virtues, that's difficult to comprehend. First, barracuda are almost always there, widely scattered on the flats and channels. Second, these toothy torpedoes aren't reluctant to crash baits, plugs or feathers as long as the angler moves them faster and faster. Finally, once hooked, barracuda range from runners to jumpers, and often both escape modes are employed. The sight of a yard-long 'cuda soaring above the turquoise flats is hard to forget but renewable almost every trip to the tropics.
On our final day, Capt. Pete steered us inside the reef but beyond the flats into 10 to 15 feet of water. "What's here?" Beth asked, for we hadn't fished this area before. Pete scanned the depths and said cryptically, "If there's a school, you'll see." Then he pointed off the bow and told us, "Cast there." Beth's lure arched on target, and she had barely begun her retrieve when the rod whipped down. A seeming nanosecond later, the largest ladyfish I'd ever seen soared above the waves in a shower of spray. For hours we followed schools of Belizean ladyfish. We lost count of the strikes and lost far more than we brought to the boat for a quick release. Each ladyfish encounter exemplified its aka, "the poor man's tarpon"; however, in our case, we hardly felt impoverished. These ladyfish, averaging between 3 and 6 pounds, were in a class by themselves. They enriched our lives and secured a lasting affection in our angling hearts.
Keep Things in Perspective
In the aftermath of the storm, Beth and I drove our golf cart slowly around San Pedro and its surrounding neighborhoods. Often we saw houses completely surrounded by standing water with the occupants looking out forlorn and depressed. They had every right to be. We could leave and they couldn't. In Arthur's aftermath, seven people died and thousands lost their homes. For us, Arthur was an inconvenience, but for far too many Belizean citizens, it was an undeserved disaster. Once back in Baltimore, we promptly sent a check to the Belize Red Cross. There's fishing and then there's people. Good common sense dictates that people are by far the most important.

For the fourth year in a row, State Sen. Dan Duffy (R-Lake Barrington) will continue his "Talk 2 Me Tuesday" program for constituents. He will be available every Tuesday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. with no appointment necessary. Anybody who would like to meet with Senator Duffy can just drop by his district office at 330 E. Main Street in Barrington.
"I started 'Talk 2 Me Tuesdays' my first year in office to encourage people to stop by and share their concerns with me," Duffy said. "I am always available by appointment since I am often in Springfield. However, people have hectic schedules and they can't always predict when they will have time available to meet. Talk 2 Me Tuesday's gives people more flexibility to just walk in and talk with me, one-on-one. Since it's been such a big success in the past, I decided to continue the program again this year and look forward to hearing directly from the people."
If Senator Duffy is called out of town, his legislative assistant will be on hand to meet with constituents. Anyone interested in setting up an appointment can e-mail Senator Duffy at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the office 847-277-7100 to set up an appointment.

Not too long ago I remember being ridiculed and laughed off a certain boxing forum for suggesting that Blood Doping through Blood Transfusion was possible but listen to the interview in the link posted and then provide your feedback.
I'm a firm believer that testing not only for boxing but for all sports should be mandated and sanctioned by all sports organizations to ensure that we are all playing on an even field and if they're not going to make it mandatory then simply allow everyone to dope, disregard the testing and may the stronger doper win.
Your thoughts??

My stance is that I'm disgusted. Not by the people cheating, but by the people that say "Well people are going to do it anywa. What difference does it make?" There are going to be certain kids who turn out to be failures in life. It doesn't mean that you stop parenting. Cancer hasn't gone away, but we still spend millions of dollars on research. Same with AIDS.Shit, we haven't even found a fool proof solution to the common cold yet (not even Big Momma). What people don't realize is, this is beyond winning and losing. Especially in contact sports, the ramifications of steroids can be catastrophic. Bodies are unnaturally doing things they shouldn't be doing. Boxing, of all sports, should be the most strict. Even when you win you lose in boxing. I've nver known a fighter to fight his entire career and not get hit. Maybe steroids never goes away. That doesn't mean you stop doing your due diligence to ensure you've exhausted every effort to make your sport a clean one. I'm no genius or psychiatrist, but I'm willing to bet a cheater would be far less apt to use if he knows the ramifications of getting caught, as well as the methods in which to catch him, are extremely high.

RICHLAND, Wash., -- Site work has started on the five-acre lot off Keene Road in Richland where a new Yoke's Fresh Market will be built.
The 52,000 square-foot store just west of Badger Mountain park is set to open in October.
Glen Engelhard sold the five-acre lot for Yoke's to build on, but is keeping another 12 acres there to build restaurants, a bank and a coffee shop after Englewood Drive is extended from Keene Road to Hills West."It'll be a little more high-end from what I understand just because of the community adjacent to it," says Engelhard. "They're calling it their flagship store, they're unveiling their new logo on this store and it's a brand new floor plan from the other floor plans."
Vandervert Construction of Spokane is the contractor for Yoke's, and Bernardo Wills Architects designed it.
The new Yoke's will employ more than 100 people.For more information on the plot, click here, or call (509) 783-1107. Read about more new developments at TriCitiesBusinessNews.com

In conversation with Ann Augustine
[ Tue, Jan 18, 2011 ]
Lal Jose's 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty' that released in 2010, put the spotlight on a gifted youngster who played the title role in the film - Ann Augustine. Daughter of actor Augustine, Ann came up with a competent performance in her debut film that set the screens ablaze.
Here is Ann Augustine in a one-to-one with Veeyen of nowrunning.com, when the charming actress chatted about being the most talked about newcomer in recent times, and on her new film 'Arjunan Sakshi' that would hit the cinemas, come Jan.28.
Congratulations on winning the Prem Nazir Puraskaram for Best Debutante Actress of 2010. And what a confident debut! I know that you have been busy studying psychology, so why did you decide to do films all on a sudden?
Thank you. I was offered 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty' when I was doing my final year in college and when Lalu
(Lal Jose) suggested that I should do it, I was truly overwhelmed. I should say I wasn't sure if I could do justice to the role at all. Here I was, playing around and generally having a whale of a time, when I was asked to do a film. I had my reservations hence, and it's only because of Lalu
that I finally decided to give Elsamma a try. It turned out that everyone associated with the film, right from the spot boy to the director, made me feel that it was a worthwhile experience.
Arjunan Sakshi
What was it that made you decide to take on the role in 'Arjunan Sakshi'? What's so special about Anjali Menon?
I should say I was lucky to have an out-of-the-world debut through 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty' and follow it up with an equally promising project - 'Arjunan Sakshi'. This was a film that had at its helm Ranjith Sankar who had left a distinct mark with 'Passenger', and in which I was being paired with Prithviraj. As an actress this was another dream venture for me, and it didn't take me long to say 'Yes' to it.
This might seem like a coincidence, but you had essayed the role of a very bold village girl in 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty', and now in your second film, you get to play another woman who is a go-getter; a journalist this time. Is there any overlapping between these two characters that you have donned, apart from the fact that both of them tend to tackle life daringly?
In fact, there is a whole lot of difference between the two characters. Probably the only similarity between them is the 'newspaper connection'! In 'Elsamma' the whole film revolved around the title role that I played; that of a newspaper agent who had a family to tend to. In 'Arjunan Sakshi', I am a part of a much larger scheme, and I play a city girl who gets posted as a journalist with a prominent newspaper. While 'Elsamma' was more of a light hearted entertainer, 'Arjunan Sakshi' is a much more serious film that focuses on some real grave social issues
I suppose people are going to remember you for a very long time as Elsamma, and do you think it's going to take you some time to break away from the Elsamma image?
To be honest, let me tell you that I never ever want to break away from the Elsamma image. Elsamma is so special to me, and would always remain so. As Elsamma, I spoke, dressed and behaved in ways that I wouldn't dream of in real life. I still have a couple of Elsamma costumes tucked away in my cabinet, since I hold the memories associated with the film real close to my heart and I would truly be glad if people remember me as Elsamma.
Arjunan Sakshi
You have been lucky to work with two remarkable directors - Lal Jose who falls in the veteran league and Ranjith Shankar who is a representative of the new breed of directors who have been ushering in winds of change in Malayalam cinema. How would you compare the two?
Don't do this to me. (laughs) Lalu
is like family to me, and I should say I was so much pampered on the sets of 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty'. I literally knew nothing about acting and yet I did everything possible, only because Lalu
was around. He would scream and shout at me and at the same time be so considerate and gentle. He would show me how he wanted to get things done. For the 'Thozhi' song for instance, I told him how difficult it was for me to act coy and shy, and he literally guided me through it. I feel extremely confident when he is around and the kind of rapport that I share with him is brilliant.
is quite different in that he let me get a grasp of my character in the film, and then asked me to go about doing it in my own characteristic style. I was handed over the reigns to my performance for the first time, and asked to take control. While I was treated like a kid on the sets of 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty', on the sets of 'Arjunan Sakshi' I was treated like an actress, both of which I enjoyed to the hilt.
I guess it's time now to speak about your co-star in 'Arjunan Sakshi' and this is the first time you are being paired with Prithviraj. How was it working with him?
I was slightly tense about working with Raju (Prithviraj) since I had heard that he could be temperamental on the sets. I was also told that he is a quick learner and that he delivers his dialogues in a flash. When I finally got to meet him, I went straight up to him and told him that I was a bit nervous about the shoot. To my surprise, Prithvi reassured me that everything would be fine, and that I had nothing to worry about. He is such a wonderful person and soon we got on like a haystack on fire, and had a terrific time on the sets. I was apprehensive about a chase sequence that was to be shot, and Prithvi was like a highly protective big brother to me, and was a huge support through out the shoot.
Elsamma Enna Aankutty
You have a very pleasant voice. Do you do the dubbing for your characters yourself?
(laughs) You are the first person to tell me that. I haven't done the dubbing for either of my films, since I wasn't confident at all. Vimmy Mariam George has dubbed for me in both 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty' and 'Arjunan Sakshi'. In my new film '3 Kings', I play a crack head character that is a far cry from both the characters that I have played before, and people have been telling me that I should probably give dubbing a try this time. Let's see.
I am not talking of a role model as such but I am sure there should be several actors who have probably inspired you. Could you pick a few favorites?
As you said, I don't have any role models as such, and I have never actually aspired to be like someone else. But there are several amazing actors like Manju Warrier, Sobhana and Revathy whom I have always admired, for the kind of fantastic work that they have done.
How far does it help to come from a family having an acting backdrop? Does it aid in anyway to be the daughter of an accomplished actor?
It does help, since that is how the Elsamma offer came my way. I don't know if acting is there in my genes, since I have never had an opportunity before 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty' to explore it. I have never acted in plays and haven't been part of a theater group or anything of the sort. The only reason I was somewhere around the college arts events was to bunk classes. (laughs)
Arjunan Sakshi
What other things do you normally do when you are not shooting?
If I am not attending some programs or other events, I would be home mostly in my room, lazing around and having some time to myself. I love sleeping as well.
Post Elsamma and Arjunan Sakshi, how have you changed as a person? If I ask you if you are the same person as you were in 2009, what would you say?
I would say I am pretty much the same person as I was before. Life is just the same, and there haven't been any dramatic changes as far as I have noticed. I don't get mobbed on the streets like you suggested, because I feel very few people recognize me in real, as I am so much different from the Elsamma that they saw on screen. Of course, sometimes people do come up and ask if I am an actress, and kids approach me with cute requests, but that's it.
Could you tell me about your most memorable and most challenging moment so far in your career?
The most memorable day in my career so far is the very last day of the 'Elsamma Enna Aankutty' shoot, and when it was pack up time, I grew so emotional and was almost in tears. It has been sixty long days since I had been roaming around as Elsamma, and it was difficult to let her go. I was wondering what would happen to Elsamma and Paalunni, and wanted to know if they would ever get married. It was a very moving moment for me.
The most challenging moment was when I had to utter a dialogue that had the word 'Porunna Kozhi' in it. This scene had such veterans like KPAC Lalitha
in it, and no matter how hard I tried, I would fumble at it. This went on for some time, before I could finally get it right. I should also mention the chase sequences in 'Arjunan Sakshi'. I was lucky to be a part of it, and had some very exciting times canning those scenes.
Arjunan Sakshi
Your new project is 'Three Kings' being directed by V K Prakash. This is going to be your third film, and could you let us take a sneak peek into the future? What are the other projects that you have in the pipeline?
As of now, I haven't signed up for any other project after '3 Kings'.
As an actress who has just started off in a very impressive manner, what do you think is the most satisfying thing about being in showbiz and what is the most trying thing about it?
The most rewarding thing would be that as a part of this amazing industry, I get to meet so many living legends in real. Also it wouldn't be right if I said that I don't enjoy all the love and adoration that is showered on me by people who like me. On the flipside, I would consider all those professional hazards that are associated with being in showbiz; like dieting for instance. I love chocolates, and wouldn't even think of giving them up for anything in the world. (laughs).
Thank you so much Ann, for the very interesting conversation. All the best for 'Arjunan Sakshi' and your other projects as well.
Thank you.
3 Kings

Increase funding to expand community based prevention programs
"Increase funding to expand community based preventive interventions to help Americans make better choices to improve their health."
Sources: Obama health care plan
Subjects: Government Efficiency, Health Care
Stimulus money goes to community health centers
Updated: Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 | By Angie Drobnic Holan
First lady Michelle Obama visited a Washington, D.C., health center on June 29, 2009, to announce $851 million in funding for health care centers nationwide for primary and preventive care.
Mrs. Obama said community health centers help people manage chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and high-blood pressure so that patients don't need acute medical care.
"They stay out of the hospital, they stay out of the emergency room, which is the most costly way to receive care in this country, and they stay on the job and in school instead — a win-win situation," Mrs. Obama said. "Health centers are community catalysts that improve lives, and that's why this investment is so critical."
The money is from the economic stimulus, also known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Recovery Act grants will support the construction, repair and renovation of over 1,500 health center sites nationwide. More than 650 centers will use the funds to purchase new equipment or health information technology systems, and nearly 400 health centers will adopt and expand the use of electronic health records, according to the White House.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services administers funds for the health centers, which serve more than 17 million patients, about 40 percent of whom have no health insurance, at 7,500 sites around the country, according to the department.
President Barack Obama's original promise was pretty broad. He merely said he would "increase funding" to expand community-based health care, so the $851 million clearly fulfills that pledge. We rate it a Promise Kept.
