That's what happens when you try to "hang out" with an older women. You got off easy this time.

Such nice kids here in Mountain View.
on Mar 29, 2012 at 10:10 am
Elaine, by your post it sounds as if you think the majority of kids in MV do this sort of thing. Don't you really think that this was an anecdotal situation? That the crime was done by a very small minority of "bad seed" kids that any town can and does have? Truly you don't think this is the normal behavior of the majority kids in MV do you?
Hopefully you just needed to get a little snark out of your system because I've found the vast majority of kids in MV to be a really top notch bunch.

just an observation to Observer. You sound like a PACT parent.
on Mar 29, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Yes, but the kids in Palo Alto and Los Altos tend to perform better and achieve more while Mountain View schools continue to teach to the low end with silly teaching concepts such as EDI.
on Mar 29, 2012 at 2:20 pm
Dear Observer,
Do you have a chip on your shoulder? A grudge? Prejudicial?
Do you need "to get a little snark out of your system?"
Just wondering...no need to respond.
on Mar 29, 2012 at 3:36 pm
Hmm. Seems like Observer woke the angry troll.
on Mar 29, 2012 at 3:38 pm
And actually, I thought MVHS scores were better than LAHS. Could be wrong, great kids anyways.
on Mar 29, 2012 at 4:20 pm
I think Observer has a point, not all of MV youth is in the wrong. Some choose to do unethical acts to other people for various reasons that we don't know or don't understand. In fact, MVHS did get better scores than LAHS and even St. Francis (a private school in MV), so please don't think about for all of MV's youth, they all have a bright future and we need to appreciate them because believe it or not, they'll be taking care of us in the near future.

I appreciate that the teen went to his dad and told him what happened rather than stay a silent victim. I'm sure this wouldn't have been the group's last attempt if this one teen hadn't had the guts to speak up, even with the potential for being punished. I'm not an advocate for marijuana, or teens messing with drugs, but good on him.
on Mar 29, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Just a clarification about who goes to which school -- Mountain View High School has students from both Mountain View and Los Altos. Los Altos High School has students from both Los Altos and Mountain View. The boundary lines are somewhere around Escuela or Rengstorff.
Both schools are part of the Mountain View Los Altos High School District.
The city of residence does not dictate which school students attend.

I agree with Jerry, that kid should be thanked for reporting the incident.

And BTW again.
The charges are: Robbery and Conspiracy to commit Robbery. No Laughing matter, This is not like stealing gum from 7-11 the kids should go to CA Youth Authority Facility until they are at least 18. (Prison) and as the father of the victim I will be at court to push for this.

Good Kevin, I think you should ensure that those kids are punished to the full extent the law allows. For the record, I never said he deserved the events that occurred. I simply said I did not have sympathy for him. I am NOT the girl's mother. In fact I am the parent of another kid at school who is CONSTANTLY bullied by your son and I am sick of it! His size has nothing to do with this. His actions do!
on Mar 30, 2012 at 12:02 pm
Who is your son. I will make sure it does not happen again. But you do not know the whole story and as a parent I think that you are very irresponsible for sounding like you think that this was ok. It was a horrible crime, and could have ended much worse. I am shocked that any parent would use this forum to put the type of message that you did. Please send me an email and we will discuss the bullying you mentioned. But you have no right to stoke the fire.

I never, EVER, EVER said it was okay! Yes, he is lucky that it did not end up far worse, which it could have. As a parent I cannot imagine what it is like having to deal with this. My support is with you. I could never find joy in someone else's pain nor would I ever condone acts of violence against anyone, especially children. And yes, you are correct; I DON'T know all the facts. The information presented in the article leaves far more questions than answers.
Was I irresponsible for going on a public rant against a kid that bullies MY child? Yes I was and I'm very sorry. Hopefully, by aplogizing on the same forum in which I began my rant will serve as a lesson to others to choose their words more carefully. I wish I had.
You don't need to know who I am in order to speak with your son about being a bully. As a victim of bullies, he knows how much it hurts.

His son, Justin, left, and daughter-in-law, Amber, not pictured, met him Nov. 18 on W. Va. Rt. 19 to have Thanksgiving dinner. Stover believed he would have to sacrifice the holiday dinner with his family for this trip. Stover hopes to meet with President Barack Obama later this week to discuss the future of the coal industry.

Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 1 through 10 of 17 reviews
I tried one of these today and I must say that I was disappointed. The flavor was a one dimensional wood flavor that left a lot to be desired. The burn was consistently uneven, had to be touched up several times, and went out multiple times after a minute or two of sitting. The wrapper began cracking about halfway through and tried to unravel. The couple of positives I did find were an easy draw and a solid amount of smoke. Short story, I won't bother with this again.James in Texas January 7, 2014
"Good with Port"
After three months in the humidor, this showed strong nicotine, and medium to full flavors of mostly strong cedar initially and then coffee. Burnt unevenly, and it went off when left unattended. Went quite nicely with a vintage port.Stefan in San Francisco September 29, 2013
Considering what others, including Cigar Aficionado, have rated this cigar, I must say I am thoroughly disappointed! It burned unevenly, drew hard and had a faint odor of tuna fish...yes, tuna fish! I had to relight this thing after neglecting it for less than a minute! For almost $10.00 a stick, I feel ripped off to say the least! There are simply too many other options out there at this price point (and cheaper) that are leagues better! Sorry AB, it ain't worth it!Jim in NYC July 14, 2013
"Smooth Cigar"
Hints of coffee and spice with creamy thick smoke. The cigar is listed as full but I thought it was more of a medium cigar. Taste was good with easy draw but uneven burn for the whole smoke. Worth a purchase and try.Anthony in California June 7, 2013
"Love at first puff!"
I am amazed that some customers dislike this cigar. Full of wonderful flavors from the first to last! Has become my favorite cigar Lookin' forward to cruise in September to show these off in the cigar lounge.3fusiondawg in Suwanee GA June 2, 2013
"what the..."
This is inferior tobacco infused with flavors of coffee and whatever else was laying around. I've given these cigars time in the humidor and they still reek. Smoking them makes me almost vomit. All these Johnny come lately cigar commpanys like this one are a joke. You're fooling the young and new smokers but not us old guys. Want a real cigar? get a Camacho,AF,Ashton,Punch, Motnty,H.Upman.Jack in Texas May 31, 2013
"No thanks."
This is the most over hyped cigar on the market. I guess AB's marketing is being paid well. Been smoking cigars for many a year and this is a cigar I will not purchase again nor any more of the AB line from the experience from these sticks. Smells like balsa wood and burnt coffee. Pure nastiness. These cigars must have been rolled from General Cigar reject rollers. I'll stick with a real cigar and keep enjoying Hoyas and Punch. No thanks.Old timer in Palm Springs May 16, 2013
I'm reading more reviews about this cigar that talk about a difficult draw. Then there are some who just love this cigar. I have come to the conclusion that this stogie just needs several months in your humidor. The aging will relax the draw and the wonderful tobacco this cigar is made of will continue to mellow, producing an outstanding cigar.Earl in Tennessee May 10, 2013
"Worthy of Top Rating"
This cigar was excellent. Most impressed with its consistency; close to the end, it maintained its flavour and did not grow bitter. Ash held up nicely. Found it strong and spicy, in a pleasant way, like jalapeno peppers on nachos, not like crazy-suicide-wings-with-a-waiver that make you sweat. Paired well with bourbon. Normally don't smoke cigars all the way to the end but couldn't put this one down. Would recommend taking time to pre-cook and light this bad boy. As other reviews have noted, the gorgeous wrapper has a tendency to burn a little unevenly. But this is, quite frankly, a small thing and not to be taken too seriously if your criteria is taste first and not the aesthetics of even-wrapper-burn.Wes in Whitby, Ontario July 7, 2012
"Smooth, with just a touch of pepper"
I have only had the first of a 5 pack, but have only experienced the positive attributes. Great flavor, smooth and rich, easy draw (once or twice, too easy). had to touch up twice, but that only took about 10 seconds each time, including striking the match.Joshua in Minnesota July 7, 2012

LA Fashion Week – March 17-24, 2010
Those brands which are opting out of the runway/circus–while missing the moment to create electricity, buzz and great visuals–can still opt in for more intimate presentations and conversations during Market.
We expect to see a certain number of late additions and the usual "schedule bleed" as designers and producers choose dates for their events before and after this key time frame in an effort to earn more dedicated attention. But we also expect that those who do concentrate their efforts during the Fashion Week time frame will see the greatest number of new faces and, therefore, new opportunities for business and promotion.
We'll post the schedule here, as it becomes available. We also plan to open our complimentary "test version" of registration February 1 to facilitate the process for qualified industry and press. We look forward to seeing you at the shows.

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the first U.N. treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar international arms trade Tuesday, a goal sought for over a decade to try to keep illicit weapons out of the hands of terrorists, insurgent fighters and organized crime.
The resolution adopting the landmark treaty was approved by a vote of 154 to 3 with 23 abstentions. As the numbers appeared on the electronic board, loud cheers filled the assembly chamber.
A group of treaty supporters sought a vote in the 193-member world body after Iran, North Korea and Syria blocked its adoption by consensus at the end of a two-week final negotiating conference last Thursday. The three countries voted "no" on Tuesday's resolution while Russia and China, both major arms exporters, abstained.
Many countries, including the United States, control arms exports. But there has never been an international treaty regulating the estimated $60 billion global arms trade.
Australian Ambassador Peter Woolcott, who chaired the negotiations, said the treaty will "make an important difference by reducing human suffering and saving lives."
"We owe it to those millions — often the most vulnerable in society — whose lives have been overshadowed by the irresponsible and illicit international trade in arms," he told the assembly just before the vote.
The treaty will not control the domestic use of weapons in any country, but it will require countries that ratify it to establish national regulations to control the transfer of conventional arms, parts and components and to regulate arms brokers.
It covers battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, and small arms and light weapons. A phrase stating that this list was "at a minimum" was dropped, according to diplomats, at the insistence of the United States. Supporters complained that this limited the treaty's scope.

United States Army General Tommy Franks addressed the fans before the game.
"I am proud of you," Franks told the crowd. "Because you represent the sprit of a great nation. You represent the spirit we need to finish the job -- and we will finish the job."
Franks is the Commander in Chief of U.S. Central Command and is responsible for U.S. military activity in 25 nations, including the ongoing war on terrorist operations in Afghanistan.
Also, police and fire personnel from around the Tampa Bay area lined up with Red Sox and Rays players on the field before the game. The national anthem was performed by Air Force Major Henry Polczer. Chris Frost from Tampa Pipes and Drums performed "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes and there was a 21-gun salute by a military contingent from nearby MacDill Air Force Base.
The pregame ceremony was just part of a very special day in St. Petersburg and throughout the country.
"It gives everyone a chance to reflect back on where they were last year and what it meant," Boston manager Grady Little said.
"We can't forget, but we have to move on," Rays manager Hal McRae said.
The Red Sox were in St. Petersburg last September 11, having just flown in from a series in New York.
Boston starter Derek Lowe said it was, "kind of eerie" that the Red Sox were here again on the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks, but that the players managed to make the day meaningful.
"We had a birthday party at the hotel today for Trot Nixon's son, Chase (who was born last September 11)," Lowe said. "It was nice because there are a lot of kids who are not going to see their dads again."

BOSTON (AP) — A new report finds that Massachusetts continues to experience a critical shortage of primary care physicians and geographical disparities in the hiring and retention of doctors.
On a more positive note, the annual Physician Workforce Study set for release by the Massachusetts Medical Society on Wednesday also found a growing number of doctors willing to embrace cost-saving techniques such as accountable care organizations.
The survey found critical or severe shortages in family medicine and internal medicine, the two primary care specialties, for an eighth consecutive year in the Bay State.
About three-quarters of physicians surveyed in western Massachusetts cited difficulty in recruiting doctors to join their practices, and about half said they struggled to retain staff that was hired.
By contrast, only 18 percent of respondents in greater Boston said they had trouble filling vacancies.

whmcs is excellent!
i have been using whmcs for years and it is the best software in my daily use list of tools. it is superb and i can not talk more highly of it.
primarily it lets you manage your domains and hosting clients and automate every aspect of it, but it also lets you issue quotes and convert to invoices among many support related features which just work brilliantly.
the project management tool is new and has potential, but its not as slick as the main system yet. i bought it as i was so happy with whmcs generally, but its over priced and not bug free but saying that, its a one off fee and upgrades will come free in the future, so hopefully as more people take it up, more time will be spent on it.
yes, i think it will help any web designer to deal with their clients effectively and in a professional manor. my advise is to try it

Our Ask Tony and Tucker question is from Sara Jordan in Hollywood, Maryland.
She sent us a picture and writes, "On my way out of the house this morning, I was greeted by this strange-looking spider. What kind of spider is this?"
By the way, Sara says she hates the new trumpet sound effects for "Ask Tony and Tucker" and says the sounds we make are much better, except for maybe Wisdom's.

How To Control Dreams Whenever You Desire
Learning how to control dreams is not as difficult as it may seem. Being able to manipulate your dreaming experience by teleporting yourself to breathtaking sceneries, running through walls, speaking with dream characters you created, or simply craving on your favorite food while dreaming… it all can be attained!
With little conviction, practice and a suitable tutorial in your hands, you can easily learn to explore your inner dream world and control it at will. Read my brief dream control guide and try some of the most popular techniques to change your lucid dreams.
Main Advantages of Controlling Dreams
The advantages of controlling our dreams with lucid dreaming techniques go far beyond the alternate realities and fantasy fulfillment. You can strengthen your inner self by confronting your fears and long term phobias or heal deep subconscious wounds. Conscious dream control is also a powerful way to gain knowledge about yourself by developing self-reflection, healthy self-confidence and enhancing your creativity.
But there's more! Imagine having a dialogue with your subconscious mind and finally solving a problem that has been sitting in your head for a while. You can also choose to dream about a particular object, or simply tap into your creativity and come up with another great idea for your business.
Perhaps you have recurring nightmares or a nasty boss that appears in your dreams as a monster with tentacles. With easy-to-learn lucid dreaming techniques you can stop your nightmares by turning them into pleasant dreams, or change your boss into a teddy bear.
"We need men who can dream of things that never were." ~ John F. Kennedy
Dream Control Guide – Basic Ideas
How To Control Most Popular Dream Desires
In order to have success in learning how to control dreams, you must possess the right mindset. Now, this may sound cliché, but conditioning the mind is important in any challenging activity. During a dream control lesson, you're typically trying to accomplish something surreal in your dream (for example creating a dream character or even having lucid sex with him or her). If your mind doesn't really believe it's possible, then what are the chances you will succeed? Probably…minimal.
Convince yourself that you are in control and anything you want is possible. Don't overdo either – trying too hard may cause you to loose clarity of your lucid dream and wake up. If you find yourself struggling with some of the challenges described below, try going along with the dream and controlling your own actions first. Soon you will be experiencing amazing moments of conscious dream transformations.
Dreaming About A Particular Person Or Object
The best way to learn how to control dreams in order to strategize about a particular person or object is using the same technique as if you were about to solve a problem in your dreams – that means visual and mental preparation.
After drowning into your lucid dream (get a good guide about how to become lucid here), try to call out the person's name just as he or she was in the next room or at the corner. Alternatively, picking up the phone and calling him or her might work as well.
You can also try the advice of Robert Waggoner, a leading lucid dreaming researcher (check out his bestseller Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self). He advices to ask your dream itself if you could get a particular person to appear.
If you try to create dream characters, using dream doors or liquid portals might particularly help (for example: open a dream door, reach inside and expect to grab the hand of your dream figure. Finally pull through). Although dream characters are a pure "product of our mind" that we create for our amusement, they also represent certain elements of our ego, or spirit, or whatever you call it. Therefore, treat them with respect.
"Once I made my friend turn into Johnny Depp. We ended up having a very interesting talk – except the conversation was a little hard to follow because I focused too much on his sex appeal. I'll tell ya it that was one of the funniest and coolest lucid dreams I've ever had!"
Creating Or Changing the Dreamscape
Creating the dreamscape from scratch is one of the most challenging dream control tasks. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as in the movie Inception (a brilliant insight into the concept of dream invasions and shared lucidity). Unfortunatelly, we cannot use the fantasy device used by dream architects in the movie. Rather, we have to rely on the power of our mind.
If you are a beginner, it will be much easier for you to manipulate objects within an existing dreamscape in your desired way than to create something from "nothingness". By the way, do not interpret the movie as your dream control guide; take it rather as an inspiration for your lucid dreams.
The general good rule is to clear your mind, focus it on the right intention and then practice. One of dream control techniques available in this case is dream spinning- it allows you to change your dream setting. Try spinning on the spot and picturing your desired dreamscape as you spin.
Verbal commands are also a good way to learn how to control dreams and maintain that level of control in a dream (you can say out loud whatever you wish to happen). Keep repeating and calmly visualizing until you succeed.
Learning To Fly
Although flying dreams are one of the most popular types of lucid dreams, they are not that easy to control. It is mostly because of a mental block – our mind has difficulties believing we can actually fly. One way to go about this is to try challenging yourself (jumping right off a cliff or a tall building). If you prefer taking it slowly, start bouncing along your dreamscape, allowing yourself to get higher and higher.
You can also imagine yourself levitating or using flying aids, such as wings, flying animals or objects etc. Just practice, do not give up and soon you will be able to experience one of the many exhilarating moments of flying across universe at impossible speed!
Travelling Through Time and Space
A really easy way to learn how to control dreams and travel through time and space is to visualize yourself in your own personal time machine. Think of the time and place you want to appear in, push all the buttons and let yourself teleport. Or you can try to fly above the clouds (where you don't see the grounds anymore), imagine the desired time and place and descend back under the clouds. If you struggle, try using an anchor that symbolizes your intention just like when dreaming about a particular object/person, or when you try to solve a problem in your dreams.
Breathing Underwater
Learning to breathe underwater is just as cool as learning to fly. Taking into account the vivid character of lucid dreams, when swimming underwater in your dream, water may look and feel exactly like real water. When you plunge underwater in your lucid dream, try not to think about the challenge of breathing underwater. Most likely the mind will automatically instruct the body to hold breath just as if you were underwater for real. Keep reminding yourself that it's a dream and that you can do anything. You can imagine that you are seeing through the ocean as if it was air.
Interested to find out more about how to control dreams and get the most out of your dreaming time? Than you might benefit from taking a look a Lucid Dreaming Fast Track - the ultimate digital guide about lucid dreaming and conscious dream control on internet.
You can learn step-by-step some advanced dream control techniques, such as increasing and sustaining your lucidity, how to perform lucid dreaming sex, or just to pick up a few extra practical tips on conscious dream control…
As you can see, learning how to control dreams is a matter of learning the language of your subconscious mind. And it is a skill like any other – it can be developed with motivation and practice.
Remember, we are all different. Even if you find plenty of inspiration here, you might go by trial and error to find out what really works for you, and perhaps develop a new approach. Also, some people are simply more prone to lucid dreaming than others. Therefore do not consider this guide about how to control dreams as a hand-holding tool. Take it rather as helpful information on your journey of exploration of your own possibilities.

YouTube Unveils Cloud-Based Editing, Enabling Non-Destructive Post-Production Effects
This is simultaneously really impressive and seemingly obvious. The Tube of You has rolled out a new tab that allows you to trim your videos right on the site — in the cloud — instead of doing it locally and (re)uploading. This tab, aptly named "Edit video," should already be live for all global users and allows for trimming, soundtrack-swapping, camera stabilization (!), and a number of basic post-production effects. As far as I can tell, at present there are no NLE features, but who knows where it's headed next. Here's the official word and a brief demo:
Starting today, you can edit your uploaded videos right on YouTube and maintain the same video IDs. This means you keep your view count and comments, and all existing links to your video will continue to work. No re-uploading necessary! Here's how it works: just click Edit video on the video's page or on your My Videos page. You can stabilize your hand-held footage, rotate a video, and boost the contrast and colors. Try "I'm Feeling Lucky" for 1-click color correction.
Link: Edit your videos with YouTube – YouTube Blog
[via Engadget]
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
I'am very curious about the stabilizing feature. A really handy tool for any amature! Great work YouTube!
This is definitely a step in the right direction. I just wish they would allow us to swap the video file like vimeo does.
You have no idea how upset I am that I had this idea four years ago and couldn't find the right people to help me get it off the ground…
Well if it's any consolation in this article I wrote five years ago, some sites were already doing the whole cloud-based editing thing (jumpcut, eyespot):
Haha yes, that does help to know the Youtube giant didn't get there first :)
Idk how I feel about this, Its like everyday there is something else out there. Now anybody can be an editor? I used to get little odd jobs here and there to edit small shows for a lot of local rappers to make some extra money while in school and it was really cool, and fun. It seems that these businesses, such as youtube, will do anything to generate traffic and more money not realizing that you are eliminating jobs for other people just to generate more revenue for yourself. I know, I know its not that serious and the little odd job didn't pay as much but what happen to leaving certain things to the pros u know. I'm sorry, it may not be that serious but it did kind of hit a nerve, and I admit I could just be looking at it in the wrong way…
Unfortunately, even if they did realise they probably wouldn't care :(

Anyone can't just pick up a copy of After Effects and produce the next visual effects for a feature film. There is still a huge element of learning and skill. However, these features are giving anyone a chance to produce video that is pleasing. I also think there are a lot of people who have "the eye" for film, but they just don't have access to software or equipment, this is giving them an opportunity to express themselves.
I don't think this is something to be worried about. Honestly I think for at least a short time all this is probably going to do is ignite a spate of horrifically saturated, contrasty youtube videos with nasty vignettes and cheap effects! It's not offering NLE features or anything and the effects are nothing that Windows Movie Maker or iMovie can't already do. So it's not like it's a game-changer or going to put people out of business.
It's just useful features for people who know what they're doing; and for the average youtuber, enough rope for to hang themselves with ;)

Just another reason to hone your ability, push yourself in your filmmaking, and separate yourselves from the masses.

NEW ORLEANS - After weeks of budget hearings, the City Council has approved next year's $859 million budget. City officials say public safety is the main priority.
"This budget funds 150 new police officers for the NOPD and puts our money where our mouth is," said CAO Andy Kopplin.
But some believe the focus shouldn't just be on police officers when it comes to public safety.
"We don't see any funding for any new recruits. We're operating daily in a dangerous situation where firefighters are responding against industry standards," said Nick Felton, president of the New Orleans Firefighters Union.
The council did vote Thursday to add another $2 million to Sheriff Marlin Gusman's budget at the city's recommendation.
The city will have to fund a federal consent decree for the Orleans Parish jail, which is run by Gusman.
It's still unclear exactly how much the consent decree will cost.
City officials say they are expecting a budget surplus for the first time in years if all goes as planned, although funding the consent decree for the jail could wipe that out.
Still, City Council President Jackie Clarkson said this was one of the smoothest budgeting processes she's ever seen thanks to cooperation between the council and administration.
"I can't thank the council enough, for most of the budget hearings we had most of the council most of the time I've never seen that before. I've never seen an administration that was willing to work with us so well," said Clarkson.
The budget goes into effect Jan. 1.

Authorities and residents are on alert in Auburn as a number of home and car break-ins plague their city. One neighborhood is teaching homeowners how to protect themselves from thieves.
Over the past few weeks thieves have hit the Grove Hill community hard. Monday nearly 40 residents came together with Auburn police to learn how to reverse the trend.
Grove Hill is one of many neighborhoods in Auburn that has seen the recent spike in burglaries. New Police Chief Paul Register led an open discussion with homeowners about how to protect your valuables.
He says, "Do things like record serial numbers, take photographs of things that are very expensive, so if you were to become a victim of a theft, you would have something to reference for that."
He believes that some of the cases are related, and detectives are working hard to get every stolen item back. "We do everything we can to recover the property," he says, "whether that be from a pawn shop or searching a house. We try to get the property back because even though they may have insurance, it's the sentimental value of things that we try to help the families with."
Grove Hill Homeowners Association Board President Chuck Hunt says the police gave very helpful tips like planting prickly bushes near the windows of your house. "I learned that the things you think may not mean anything oftentimes do," he says, "and if you see something out of the ordinary, then it's best to say something and ask questions later instead of just letting it go."
Many of the cars that were burglarized in the neighborhood were unlocked at the time of the break-in. Residents learned at the meeting that sometimes it's common sense techniques that keep you from being an easy target.
Hunt says, "If you're going to park your car in your driveway, lock the doors. Just do the little things that make sense and don't invite someone who may want to steal something or look in your window and say, 'oh there's an iPad,' and just take it."
Chief Register remarks, "It's good to see a neighborhood that is concerned, and that will come and ask questions and work together, because what we need more than anything are people that report suspicious activity."
Summer trips were also a topic of discussion. If you'd like a patrol car to check on your home while you're away, call Auburn police at 334-501-3150. Chief Register also suggests having neighbors keep an eye on things and leaving a light and your alarm system on. Police also caution against answering the door late at night and to people you don't know.

BOSTON -- Manager Joe Maddon didn't hide the fact that he believed Red Sox coaches were behind the benches-clearing scuffle in the ninth inning on Friday, which prompted Sox manager Bobby Valentine to respond on Saturday.
After Friday's 7-4 win in the series opener against the Sox, Maddon accused the Boston coaching staff of ordering reliever Franklin Morales to plunk Luke Scott, which led to a heated exchange between both clubs.
"By the way their players reacted to the entire situation, I knew it did not come from them," Maddon said Friday. "It's kind of incompetent behavior."
On Saturday, Valentine fired back.
"Wow, is that how they do it there," said Valentine, who is in his first year as Boston's manager. "When they throw at our guys, it comes from the coaches, you mean? Oh. I don't know. I don't know how things are done on their side and I don't think they know how things are done on our side. Whatever."
Maddon was aware of the comments when he met with the media prior to Saturday's game at Fenway Park, but he chose not to react to Valentine's statements.
"I think if you just rewind the tape everything is pretty much self explanatory," he said.
Instead, Maddon believed his reaction on Friday night prompted Valentine's response.
"I guess I did the same thing yesterday," Maddon said, "so I'm sure that what I said specifically may have motivated the return salvo."
Maddon doesn't plan on discussing the matter personally with Valentine and would prefer the players to smooth things out between the two teams.
"I'm sure players from both sides have all ready spoken to each other and know exactly what went on last night," he said. "I know the Red Sox players have a lot of respect for our guys and vice versa."
So will there be any carryover on Saturday night?
"No, I really don't [anticipate that]. We're here to play baseball. We don't come to instigate fights," Maddon said.
As for Saturday's game, Scott was back in the lineup after being hit in his right knee by a 97 mph-fastball in his last at-bat Friday. He received treatment on Saturday, heavily wrapped the knee and rode a stationary bike in the Rays' clubhouse before Maddon made the decision to start Scott as the designated hitter.
"I just wanted to make sure Luke's knee was OK, and he's fine to go," Maddon said.
Scott has good career numbers against Red Sox starter Josh Beckett, going 10-for-24 with three home runs and seven RBIs entering Saturday's game.
Sutton holding his own at hot corner for Rays
BOSTON -- The Rays have used six players at third base in Evan Longoria's absence, and Drew Sutton is starting to get a feel for the position.
Sutton made his third consecutive start at third base on Saturday night against the Red Sox.
"He's done a nice job," said manager Joe Maddon. "It's still going to be moved around, but he has done really well, quite a bit has been the throwing accuracy that's been impressive. I've been very pleased with what we've seen from him at third base."
Sutton was acquired from the Pirates for cash considerations on Monday when infielder Jeff Keppinger went on the 15-day disabled list (broken right big toe). In his first three games with the Rays entering Saturday, Sutton is 6-for-11 with two doubles and three RBIs.
He'll remain at third for now, but the Rays will also shift their infield around with versatile players like Sean Rodriguez and Elliot Johnson. Rodriguez has made 11 starts at third with Longoria (partially torn left hamstring) on the DL.
"You're going to still see Sean there on occasion, but for right now, there's no reason to mess with it. [Sutton] looks pretty darn good," Maddon said.
Infielder Will Rhymes sat for the second straight game on Saturday, but he will likely start at second base on Sunday afternoon in the series finale against the Sox. Rodriguez, who has started for Rhymes the last two games, could move to shortstop Sunday in favor of Johnson.
"Yeah, that's a possibility for tomorrow just to give Elliot a blow and get Rhymes back in," Maddon said.

Kira passed more than a thousand trees draped in twisted vines and slithering black serpents. On a fool's mission, caught in a hopeless labyrinth of never-ending twists and bends, despair found her. For hours, she'd been in the forest, running in circles, trudging through sweltering swamps and breath-sucking tropical forests. Wearily, she dropped onto a stump, buried her head in her hands, and wept.
At every pause, she'd held the medallion in her hands, closed her eyes, and repeated the chant. "Full moon, winter's night, hear my call, see my plight. Come daughter of hope, savior of grief, come with me to a place of peace."
She waited, and when nothing happened, wailed. The very air around her wove a thread of malevolence through her befuddled brain, and she knew with certainty if she didn't find the spot where she'd landed soon, she'd no longer need air.
Courage and determination had knocked on her door that morning, and then led her to the medallion in Balion's bedchamber. Tired of playing the pawn in their silly war games, and weary of attending a one person pity-party, she lifted the talisman from the table and reminded herself she'd almost died in this strange land three times. If she hoped to see her parents again, the time had come to take matters into her own hands.
She was a psychological profiler, for God's sake, an intelligent, educated woman who could surely outsmart a bevy of medieval characters from a distant, albeit very distant, past. Out of temper, not to mention options, reality smacked her in the face harder than the rain that had suddenly materialized. Hopeless, her situation loomed utterly hopeless.
Soaked clear through to her skin, she rose from the stump and headed for a cave ahead. Nestled between clusters of tawny cliffs, the shelter looked as good as the next place to sort out her thoughts, and, it would be dry. Tired, hungry, and oh so wet, she entered, slumped against a wall near the entrance and slithered to the ground.
She closed her eyes, and moments later opened them, her gut-wrenching sixth sense screaming danger. Low-pitched growls heaved the stagnant air, paralyzing her with fear, tenfold in comparison to the day The Scarlet Angel held the knife to her throat. A primordial scent filled the cavern, the same odious aroma that drifted over her the day the beast chased her in the forest.
The cat advanced, his golden eyes flaming with an odd mixture of lust and death. With nauseating dread, she knew she had looked into those orbs before. A series of vignettes rushed forth—Garrick entering a room and leaning against the trunk of a tree. Her suspicions had been right, impossible as it seemed. Mother of Jesus help me, Garrick and the cat are one in the same.
Feral heat enveloped her and hot breath fanned her cheeks as the great predator moved in at a foot-dragging pace. Foolishly, she'd left the spear behind, and nothing fell within her grasp as her hand searched the ground, no heavy sticks, no steel pipes this time. Kira's short life flashed before her, and her mother's violet eyes and father's strong jaw.
She whispered a prayer, "Let it be quick."
Lethal, white fangs gleamed deadly when the spotted leopard opened his mouth and let loose a savage roar. Mammoth paws clawed the air as he closed the empty space between them. He could have killed her in a heartbeat, but Kira sensed, sickly, he wanted something from her before he devoured her. Hot, primal arousal drifted over her, under her. In a moment, she'd upchuck her breakfast. Retracting his claws, his paw reached out and scraped her cheek, the unadulterated desire emanating from every pore of his furred body.
Before she knew what had happened, the massive paw slid around her neck and thrust her face down to the ground. She heard the sickening sound of leather ripping, felt the cold brush of air whisper against her naked bottom. His breath warm and fetid, he pinned her to the ground with one paw, slid the other beneath her and raised her hips high into the air. Nausea swirled again in her stomach. Something hard pressed against her buttocks―a hot, seeking probe—sending convulsions coursing through her. A heavy stone lay within her grasp. She reached for it, her fingers digging into the earth as the beast purred and ran his sandpaper tongue along her upper spine. With stone in hand, she slammed it against his leg and cringed when the bone snapped and he released a tortured howl. In that infinitesimal moment, she slipped from under him and flipped onto her back.
Icy fingers of fear snaked up her spine as she looked into the beast's eyes. With teeth barred, his enormous head descended until it was inches from her face. More terrifying than anything she had ever seen or imagined, including the wild boars, the masked assassins or the black serpents inhabiting this godforsaken land, she let loose a blood-curdling scream.
Then she closed her eyes and sent a prayer skyward.
Thanks for reading, Keta

So maybe I am a little late on this and everyone has already heard... but AnimasCo. has a new product: an insulin pump and CGM all in one! still 2sites but still, this is amazing!
Here is the full article for those who like me haven't heard of the this AMAZING new product yet: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/animas/49461/
and if you go on Animas website and change location to from 'US' to 'Europe' you will see that it is available there!
OMG! when is this coming to the US!?
Has everyone already heard of this new product? and what are your thoughts?
Views: 692
There are several discussions on this under the Animas Group.
For US, it is pending FDA approval. The Dexcom G4 was FDA approved just last month in US, and now the integrated Vibe + Gen4 needs FDA approval for release in US. Some think this may happen in 2013.
Yeah, I figured it was still going through FDA approval... I just wish they would do it much faster!!!
Anyway, I hope to see it on the Animas website soon :)
Thank you MegaMinxX
I see your profile says you are using Animas Ping. Earlier this year, I met with a rep from Animas, and they mentioned there would likely be an upgrade available to Vibe once available in US. She also said the Vibe will definitely NOT have a meter-remote as with the Ping, so for those not wanting CGMS, the Ping will remain available.
I also suspect that current users of Dexcom G4 (and Ping), who would already have a Dexcom G4 transmitter and Dexcom receiver, would simply need to get the Vibe pump upgrade, while others would likely have to purchase the G4 transmitter separate from the upgrade.
Then they would have the choice of using the Vibe pump as their receiver, or the separate Dex G4 receiver.
For me that would be ideal, since I prefer to have CGMS as a separate device most of the time, but at times I really want only 1. So when my MM pump warranty is up in a couple years, I'll be considering a switch to Vibe.
MegaMinxX - I never though about having both the Vibe pump and a Dex G4 receiver display and alarm on Dex CGM data. I'm the one always pointing out in these threads that relying on a Vibe pump/Dex G4 receiver combo that's beep-beep-beeping a low BG under the blankets at night is a flawed concept.
Well, duh! Thanks for pointing out this obvious solution! I can only hope that Animas will allow their transmitter to talk to two receivers. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
I switched to the OmniPod this year with the idea that their wireless PDM (pump controller) would double as the Dex G4 receiver when they integrate. After an unsuccessful OnmiPod trial, I thought that there was no possibility of getting a G4 receiver separate from the Animas Vibe pump. Well, if your suspicion holds true, I already have one. I hope the Animas engineers have already committed to this design. You've brightened my day!
Yes, I did the same thing with the 7+. I would run two receivers at night to improve my chances of getting an appropriate low alarm by at least one of the receivers.
Regarding the G4 Vibe transmitter, I am concerned that this transmitter may only "speak" Animas Vibe "CGMese" instead of standard G4 language. Medical device manufacturers have a bad habit of technically fencing off their private technology turf, common standards be damned! It would only make sense that a G4 transmitter would work with either an Animas Vibe or a G4 receiver or both. Common sense is uncommon!
Based on the Animas UK website, the Transmitter and Sensor still are 'dexcom', so I assume Dexcom continues to manufacture/sell the transmitters and sensors, either directly to Animas users, or via Animas.
I noticed on my Dex G4 Receiver, the transmitter ID has to be entered starting with a 6 or 7. So it's possible Dexcom will make separate transmitters for Vibe that will have id starting with 8 for example, and the Vibe is only 'enabled' for transmitter id starting with 8. I hope not, but that's how they might control it.
Maybe there is someone in UK that has both / or access to both Dexcom G4 receiver and Vibe pump + Transmitter and can verify how it works ???
I'd like to hope for the best. Perhaps Animas and Dexcom anticipates customers like us that want the utility to use the Vibe/CGM receiver during the day and both receivers at night. That type of usage will not cannibalize either business plan. We would still need to purchase both. In fact, it makes both of their systems more desirable.
Where we might run into difficulty is with our insurers who don't want to pay for overlapping technology.
I have an update to these issues. In research for my next insulin pump I talked with an Animas manager today. He told me that the Dex G4 transmitter will be compatible with both the US Animas Vibe and the Dex G4 receiver. When pressed about a US Vibe release timeline, he said it could happen as early as January '13 but more likely during Q1 2013.
He said if I bought a Ping today. I would be eligible for a $99 upgrade pathway to the Vibe, whenever it comes out -- even if a lengthy delay.
I also asked him if Animas had considered the reluctance of third party payers (insurance companies) to pay for both a Dex and a Vibe receiver function. He said that there was internal discussion on that point and that he didn't think there would be any ultimate difficulty with it.
So, in the foreseeable future, when I'm awake, I could use the Vibe to pump and receive/display/alert on CGM data and then add the Dex receiver at night (outside the blankets!) to wake me up when I'm low. That's one less piece of hardware to manage during the day and double the receivers at night.
I like this idea.
Terry - thanks for sharing your update from Dexcom ! Seems like this would also be helpful for parents with kids with CGMS. although Dexcom is not FDA approved yet for kids.
I'll take a serious look at Animas Vibe + Dex when the time comes up for a new pump.
As for insurance coverage, I think it may be a case of proving medical necessity. If you can't hear the alarms on the Vibe, then a separate receiver is medically necessary.

United Kingdom
London: The City in English Literature
The U.K. English literature program will not be offered in 2014; it is scheduled to be offered in Summer 2015. Updated information for Summer 2015 will be available in Fall 2014.
Program Overview
Bring your studies of English literature to life this summer in London. London has always played a central role in the life of Great Britain, in its politics, its economy, and its imagination. From the opening of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales at the Tabard Inn to the multicultural North London of Zadie Smith's White Teeth, it is difficult to find an important English author who does not turn to London, celebrating it, satirizing it, or simply trying to grasp its wondrous complexity. For English majors and non-majors interested in the arts more broadly, London offers an unparalleled place to study English literature and culture, both for its rich history and its contemporary vibrancy as one of the truly global cities of the world. It is particularly rich in theater, from the National Theatre to the Globe to smaller, cutting edge companies. The program is designed to make the best use of London, with classes meeting regularly on-site in the city; among our living classrooms will be The Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, The British Museum, The Central Criminal Court, The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, and tours of Dickens' London and London Coffeehouses. We are also planning an excursion to Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace and now a central place for Shakespearean theater).
English 2202 | Survey of English Literature, 1660-1900 (3 credits)
English 2297 | Shakespeare (3 credits)
English 3010 | Special Topics I: London In/As Text (3 credits)
Temple undergraduate students who successfully complete this program automatically satisfy the World Society (GG) requirement of GenEd.
Steve Newman has enjoyed teaching at Temple University for 11 years, where he is a tenured associate professor in the English Department. His scholarship and his teaching focus on British literature of the Long Eighteenth Century (1660-1832); he is the author of Ballad Collection, Lyric, and the Canon: The Call of the Popular from the Restoration to the New Criticism (University of Pennsylvania Press) and numerous articles in scholarly journals and edited collections. He is also the recipient of teaching awards from The College of Liberal Arts, The Lindback Foundation, The National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and The American Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies, the last for a version of a course he is offering in London this summer on the textual mapping of cities.
Students will be lodged in a basic residence hall in London.
*Per university policy, Temple students who are considered "upper division" are charged additional tuition per credit in the summer (Pennsylvania Residents: additional $14 per credit; Non-Pennsylvania Residents: additional $48 per credit). "Upper division" is defined as an undergraduate student with a minimum of 60 earned credits, regardless of how obtained. This policy does not affect non-Temple students.
**The U.K. Fee includes housing and some program-related excursions. Please note that this fee is an estimate and will be updated.
In addition to the items above, students should budget money for personal travel and any additional personal expenses. Please note that students will be expected to have access to a personal laptop computer or tablet for writing papers.
Dates are tentative and subject to change
Please see General Summer Information to read about pre-departure information and orientation; passports and visas; scholarships; costs and payment policies; accreditation; and transfer of credits.
Please see Eligibility and Application Procedures for program eligibility, application requirements, and application procedures that apply to all summer programs. In addition, for the London program, the following is required:
APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 15, 2013
For additional information, please contact Dr. Steve Newman (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Dr. Shannon Miller (email@example.com)

• Scarlett Johansson, hosting a New Year's Eve house party in Los Angeles with beau Ryan Reynolds. Sporting a little black dress and a feather in her hair, the actress chatted with her friends while holding a glass of champagne. Reynolds, in a cashmere v-neck sweater, gave Johansson space and stuck close to his buddies. But later the couple reunited, embracing outside on a wooden balcony while making the rounds together to meet and greet their guests.
January used to be Hollywood's official doldrums month. It still is, only now it's a snazzier, more depraved wasteland. It's when audiences flock to ultraviolent hip trash to slap themselves out of the art stupor brought on by the season of Important Awards Films.
People in the first blush of romance can get a little satisfied with themselves (they develop an "I'm worth it!" glow). That attitude reaches a painful state of insularity in "A Lot Like Love."

- Georgetown Law Grad Seeks Indiegogo Funding to Pay Student Loan Debt, Jumpstart Artistic Pursuits
Georgetown Law Grad Seeks Indiegogo Funding to Pay Student Loan Debt, Jumpstart Artistic Pursuits
Posted Oct 3, 2012 2:41 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A Georgetown University law graduate is seeking donations on Indiegogo to, as he puts it, save him from living with his parents until he's 40.
Nick Freilich, who is now 30, now makes about $40,000 a year, primarily by helping others study for the Law School Admission Test, the Huffington Post reports.
A desire not to be a starving artist until he died "inspired within me a tremendous self-delusion about my desire to become a lawyer," he says. Unfortunately, midway through his efforts to earn a Georgetown law degree in 2007, he realized that he really did want to focus on artistic pursuits—writing fiction, and making music and movies. That led to a subsequent master's degree in fine arts (which he says didn't add much to his student debt) and living with his parents in Santa Monica, Calif.
"Thankfully we have a very strong relationship, and I enjoy spending time with them," he told the Huffington Post. "But it definitely puts a damper on my growth, both as an artist and as a human in general."
In the first few days of the Indiegogo campaign, Freilich has raised more than $300 by selling a download of an album he released while in law school ($10) and a personalized ringtone ($250). Among his other offerings are a personalized song for $500 and a tattoo (to be inked on Freilich) for $2,500.
He hopes his efforts on the crowdfunding site will both help him make a substantial dent in his $145,000 law school student loan debt (he says he originally borrowed $160,000) and draw attention to his artistic pursuits.
"But this isn't just some high-tech panhandling. This is 21st century street busking," he writes on Indiegogo. "In return for your generosity, I will create—movies, music, stories, pictures, poems—and do so specifically for you, with more spectacular and involved works going to those more giving."

According to the budget presentation during Thursday's board meeting, the general fund balance for the end of the 2013 fiscal year is projected to be $6.37 million. That figure will be $1.25 million more than the $5.12 million required for the one-month operating fund.
Margaret Scurlock, custodian of funds for the Walker County Schools, provided a handout listing the number of school systems in Alabama that have met their state-mandated, one-month operating fund.
Out of 205 school systems, Walker County and 30 other districts did not have the reserve fund during the 2011 fiscal year. That year, Walker County fell $4.5 million short of the figure required.
Walker County School Superintendent Jason Adkins said the district made those gains because of the sacrifices of all the employees of the school system.
"I want to tell you how much I appreciate that," Adkins told those attending the meeting.
In other business, the board:
•Recognized Adkins for being named the Alabama Department of Education's Superintendent of the Year for District 7, which includes nine counties in northwest Alabama and parts of Jefferson and Tuscaloosa counties.
"I think it's a great achievement and a great honor," board chairman Brad Ingle said.
•Recognized Carbon Hill High School and Elementary School, Cordova High School and Curry High School for meeting the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Award, which is given to organizations that make significant gains in energy efficiency.
The board's next regular meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 11 in the Carl Elliott Building in Jasper.
