NORTH LAS VEGAS -- Police investigating the disappearance of a 10-year-old Las Vegas girl are investigating the discovery of a female child's body in an undeveloped housing tract in North Las Vegas.
Metro Police homicide Capt. Chris Jones said authorities didn't immediately know if the body is Jade Morris but it matches the girl's description. Some of Jade's family members were at the scene awaiting news.
"I can tell you that the likelihood (is) that this is our victim," Jones said.
Jade's grandfather said he is heartbroken.
"It's relieving, but it's heartbreaking because they found her, and she wasn't alive," said Phil Tucker, Jade's grandfather.
North Las Vegas police say a passer-by called 911 about noon to report finding a girl's body in a remote area near Dorrell Lane and N. 5th Street, about 10 miles north of downtown Las Vegas.
Las Vegas police said Jade was last seen by her family about 5 p.m. last Friday with Brenda Stokes, the on- again, off-again girlfriend of Jade's father.
Stokes was arrested Friday night after she was accused of slashing a co-worker with razor blades at the Bellagio resort and casino. Stokes is now in jail. Police said Stokes has been uncooperative when asked about the missing girl.
Jade's mother told 8 News Now before that Stokes took the girl on a holiday shopping trip and never returned her. She declined to speak after the girl's body was discovered.

To Have Or To Be?
Bloomsbury Academic, 06/09/2005 - 182 páginas
To Have Or to Be? is one of the seminal books of the second half of the 20th century. Nothing less than a manifesto for a new social and psychological revolution to save our threatened planet, this book is a summary of the penetrating thought of Eric Fromm. His thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity. To Have Or to Be? is a brilliant program for socioeconomic change.

9/10. Such an interesting commentary on capitalist influence in society. For example he highlights how things taken for granted like our language can orient us towards selfishness rather than altruism. Must read. Ler crítica na íntegra

Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr had this reaction to
the resignation of the Holy Father:
"In announcing his resignation, Pope Benedict XVI has
acted humbly and unselfishly for the good of the Church. That same spirit has
characterized his entire life of service.
"I will always remember Pope Benedict as he
described himself on the day of his election as pope in 2005 – 'a simple,
humble laborer in the vineyard of the Lord.' When I was in Rome during the
period that he was a prominent cardinal, I frequently would see him in St.
Peter's Square, mingling with the crowds in the simple black cassock of a
priest. Often he was asked by groups of tourists, undoubtedly assuming that he
was one of the local priests, to take their picture. This he would do willingly
and with a generous smile.
"In my several encounters with him I found this
brilliant theologian to be unfailingly kind, hospitable and welcoming.
Ultimately he was a very pastoral man who won the hearts of all Americans on
his pastoral visit to the United States in 2008. I will be forever grateful to
him for naming me Archbishop of Cincinnati.
"Along with the Church around the world I pray for his
health and happiness in retirement."
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati is the 38th
largest Catholic diocese in the country, with almost 500,000 Catholics, and has
the seventh largest network of Catholic schools in terms of enrollment.
This is a statement from Covington Bishop Roger J. Foys:
"This morning our Holy Father Benedict XVI, in his own
words, communicated "a decision of great importance for the life of the
Church." That decision is that as of February 28, 2013 Pope Benedict
XVI will "renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of St.
"The Holy Father gives as his reason for this decision
that his "strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an
adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry." His reason is clear and
forthright and speaks of a great integrity on his part and should be taken and
understood as presented.
"Pope Benedict has been a faithful son of the Church
and has labored long and hard in the vineyard of the Lord. He has met
challenges and criticism with firm faith in the Lord. In his statement
the Holy Father acknowledges that he is "well aware that this ministry,
due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words
and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering." He has borne that
suffering in an exemplary way in these difficult times in which we live when
almost everything is questioned and even absolute truth, even the immutable
truths of our Faith, is called into doubt and moral relativism is the order of
the day.
"Although his pontificate is not a long one in terms of
years it is without a doubt a productive one. His pastoral visits, his
Apostolic Letters, the books he authored, his declaration of the Year of Faith
– all these and more have had a profound effect on the life of the
Church. I will always remember fondly my own meetings with the Holy
Father on the various occasions of my visits to the Vatican and especially
during my ad limina visit last year at this time. Our Holy Father always
received me kindly and always promised prayers for us in Covington while at the
same time asking for our prayers for him.
"We pray that the Holy Father may have the peace that
comes from being faithful to the Lord, His Word and His Church and thank him
for the example he has been to us all."
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following
statement regarding the decision announced today by Pope Benedict XVI:
"The prayers and gratitude of American Catholics are
with Pope Benedict XVI today. The Holy Father's decision displays
extraordinary humility and love for the Church, two things that have been the
hallmarks of his service. Americans were inspired by his visit to the
United States in 2008, and by his quiet, steady leadership of the Church in
uncertain times. People of all nations have been blessed by the
sacrifices he has made to sow the seeds of hope, justice, and compassion
throughout the world in the name of Our Lord and Savior."

Congressman John Mica is telling the Orlando International Airport they should remove the Transportation Security Administration agents, in favor of private screeners. The TSA would only oversee security and manage the screening contract. We asked him if he believed what people often jokingly call the TSA -- "Thousands Standing Around."
"There are thousands, and sometimes people see them standing around," he said.
Rep. Mica, R-Winter Park, said his problem is not with the screeners themselves, but it is with a bloated federal bureaucracy that has grown from 15,000 to more than 65,000 workers in just 12 years -- a 400 percent increase.
"Right now, we have more administrators in Washington and throughout the country than we had entire screeners 10 years ago," Mica said.
Congressman Mica told an airport panel charged with looking into the best ways to screen passengers that he believes a private company could do the job for less money, with better security, shorter lines and better customer service. He wants the TSA to be more flexible and concentrate on finding threats, an not be the "human resources" manager for screeners.
"I do think that we need to revisit profiling, as long as its not done on the basis of race or some of the ethnic issues," said Mica. "We do have enough information as to who poses risk."
Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Board member Dean Asher is heading this task force that will recommend to the full GOAA Board what should be done. He is intent on taking things slow.
"If we need more time to vet this. I'm going to ask the Chairman of GOAA to do that. I think it's important. So I think we are trying to look at everything and make sure that there is no leaf that hasn't been unturned in this process."
For GOAA and Asher, the goals are simple, and they start with security and end with customer satisfaction.
"If there's better security and better customer service for the travelers of Orlando and that come through here, and come to our beautiful city, then that's what we are going to try to do."
Asher is promising his task force will not make a recommendation to the full board based on politics. The U.S. House majority staff report on the problems at TSA was scathing. You can read that entire report here.

An 11-year veteran of the Houston Fire Department has pulled off one of the most epic marriage proposals of all time.
Jesse Gonzalez staged a fake fire knowing his girlfriend and Houston Police Officer, Olga, would show up to the scene. It's not uncommon for them to meet out in the field while helping the community.
This time, however, things ended much differently.
He posted a 9-minute video of the entire thing on YouTube, and it's hot on the web right now. Several of his co-workers helped out, dressing in full gear and producing the fake fire scene at a residence.
They used smoke machines and speakers to give it the look and feel of a real fire scene.
Minutes after they arrived with a fire truck, Olga showed up in a police vehicle, and that's when Jesse gives her the surprise of her life.
The Fire Department said Jesse got special permission to pull the stunt. The firefighters were in their designated area and were required to monitor radio at the time, in case a real emergency happened.

The Delachaise
3442 St. Charles Ave
New Orleans, LA 70115
Napoleon's Rating: ***/*****
Dining at the bar no longer necessarily means wolfing down a burger or a basket of wings. More and more bars and lounges around New Orleans are serving original, quality, downright upscale cuisine along with their pints, cocktails and wines by the glass. The Delachaise was one of the forerunners of this ilk, and it's still among the best.
This striking building is long, narrow and looks quite elegant. Inside, the long bar is the main feature, while small two-top tables line the wall and more are clustered in the big, curving, window-lined bow of the room. The Delachaise has created a small patio outside with umbrella tables and potted plants under the shade of an oak, and when the weather is right this can be a perfect spot to site as the streetcars rattle by. Things are calm enough early on here, though as the hour ticks on it starts to feel more and more like a bar. On weekend nights the place gets slammed.
While the food often reaches and sometimes exceeds the quality and creativity you'd expect at a full-fledged restaurant, the Delachaise is set up for bar service. Ordering means wedging yourself between other patrons lining the bar and preening for the bartender's attention as they fill drink orders. It's not a great situation if you have questions about certain dishes. The simple way to avoid any of these problems is to arrive early, before the bar crowd fully materializes. In any case, a cook delivers your meal straight from the kitchen, and then races back to the kitchen to tend other orders. They aren't waiters, so if you want something else or another drink you need to start smiling at the bartenders again.
When all you want is good food without a dining room experience, this service format won't be a problem. And even if you're after a regular meal, the food at the Delachaise is good enough to overlook the hassles. That's been the case here since chef Chris DeBarr (now of the Green Goddess) put the food here on the map, and that's still the case now that his successor R.J. Tsarov is running the kitchen. Many people simply assemble a meal of appetizers and snacks, which are good for sharing around a table or while crowding together at the bar.
Start with the fries - practically everyone does, and once you see an order headed to another table you'll want your own. These are cut in-house, cooked in goose fat and served in large paper cones with aioli and a spicy satay sauce on the side. Cheese plates are always well composed, if a bit meager for the price. The pate, made in-house and changing constantly, is always a good bet, as are the silver dollar-sized corncakes topped with smoked salmon and caviar. I'm a big fan of the fried frog legs, which are very tender and coated in a deliciously spicy remoulade, as well as the flank steak bruschetta, topped with shaved manchego and slathered with garlic sauce.
Pacing your courses is difficult here, since a table full of orders tends to all come out at once. But if you do want to structure a conventional meal at the Delachaise the entrees can be quite rewarding. Check the chalkboard - or web site - for specials, which typically boast creative interpretations of international flavors. One recent example was a Jamaican jerk pork chop with red beans and rice - only the beans were curried and the rice was basmati. There's always a different pasta too, and the manchego gnocchi with pork ragu, a frequent special, makes a hearty dinner on its own. Some of the more reliable entrée standards include a Moroccan-style chicken tajine roasted with apricots and almonds; an Asian version of shrimp Clemenceau, prepared in a Thai curry sauce; a Cuban pork dish that's first stewed and then fried; and the bistro classic steak frites.
Crème brulée is the dessert specialty here, and it changes frequently. Sometimes it's a deep, rich well of chocolate, while on another night it could be the bourbon vanilla mix.
The Delachaise does it all in the drinks department, but a particular specialty is wine. The by-the-glass list is long, and there are always a few reasonably priced options beside the heavy hitters. The draft beer selection is good and the collection of liquors, especially bourbons, verges on cult status.
The Delachaise is certainly not cheap. Few menu items top $20, but once you order a couple of $10 small plates and the drinks start going around the tab can add up. Two people should expect to spend $60 to $70 on dinner and a few drinks. For the bargain-hunters, get a $6 cone of fries and a $5 wine special and you'll be sitting pretty.
The Delachaise is there when you want interesting, unpredictable food but don't want to make reservations or commit to the full fine-dining experience. It's an excellent spot for an early meal or a well-fed happy hour, and it can be a salvation late at night when you need to eat but don't want typical bar food. Learn to navigate the peculiarities of its service format and pick the sort of crowd density you can handle, and this place will likely join your short list for impromptu feasts.

The Cedar Rapids City Council unanimously voted in favor of moving forward with repealing the current city housing code in favor of a new one -- but it's not a done deal yet.
There's still two more readings. The council says a new code is better for everyone.
"We want to make sure that every neighborhood is safe," said Monica Vernon, Cedar Rapids City Council member. "We want to make sure that all citizens ... have quiet enjoyment of their property or their unit."
Landlords would be required to go through training in order to get a business permit in Cedar Rapids.
It would also be mandatory for them to run background checks on all future tenants, which the council says is standard procedure in most Iowa cities and long overdue in Cedar Rapids.
Twenty-three people wrote to the council opposing all or part of the new code and some spoke out at Tuesday's meeting.
"I think in some tenant/landlord relationships, this goes too far," said Robin Tucker, a property manager in Cedar Rapids.
"I want you to think about, functionally, how this actually works," said Mari Davis, a Cedar Rapids property manager. "The way it's described in the ordinance doesn't necessarily mean it works that way in actuality."
Background checks would consist of a report from Iowa Courts Online and the Iowa and National Sex Offender Registry.
Landlords can still rent to whomever they wish.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Veterans Affairs Department says two top officials are stepping down at a time when the agency is under fire for making veterans endure poor medical care and long waits for appointments.
In a statement Wednesday, the VA said Will A. Gunn is resigning as general counsel. Also leaving a top post is Dr. Robert L. Jesse, who has been acting undersecretary for health.
The VA statement says the moves are being made to help improve patients' access to health care and to restore trust from the nation's veterans.
Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson made the moves less than a month after he replaced Eric Shinseki (shin-SEHK'-ee) as head of the agency. Shinseki resigned after apologizing for the agency's problems.

Watching the proliferation of smartwatches lately really has me thinking about where we're going with wearable tech and where we should be going and I'm convinced that just about everyone is doing it wrong! Yes, that's right. Wrong! At least, in part. A smartwatch that can run apps is awesome. One that can connect to the cloud, and ultimately my media/content, great! A second screen and speakerphone for my cell phone, I'm all for it - though I rarely use speakerphone as I detest people who do this in public waiting in line at the bank, etc. We don't all need to hear your conversation sir/ma'am!!! All of those features are fun, but for the most part, novel. Forget the ecosystem, I want my smartwatch to be connected and aware of my MEcosystem (My Electronic Ecosystem) more than any app or music collection.The "MEcosystem" isn't some "me generation" egotistical geek fantasy. No, it's much bigger than that. In the digital age, you and I have a unique relationship with the world around us that is increasingly navigable and malleable thanks to high technology. Let me explain...I wake up when it's still dark and try to be as considerate as possible with the lights I turn on so I don't disturb my wife too much. If I have time, I may check some rss feeds or email before I get on the road. My wife and I don't do the his/her car thing, instead we usually have a car that is more the family car and the car the other person drives when they're not driving the family car... in other words, who drives what is situational. Matter of fact, let's stop there with my examples and look at the use case Bionym is pushing with their new Nymi bracelet. It is a device that uses the electrical activity generated by your heart to authenticate that you're the one wearing it, which makes it very secure (in theory) for doing everything from unlocking your cellphone and acting as an authentication token for secure website access to changing the settings on your thermostat in your apartment when you get home and unlocking your car. For my situation, I'd program it so that when I get in my car after my wife has driven it, the car will adjust all the settings to my MEcosystem. That would be seat height, preprogrammed radio or Sirius stations, side and rearview mirrors and temperature controls. That's what I want from smartwatch vendors. When I wake up in the morning, I want my watch to turn on dimmed lights so I won't disturb my wife. If I choose to sleep with my watch, I want it to sense an increase in my body temperature and switch on the air conditioning, at whatever threshold I set, so that my sleeping environment is optimal. Controlling my Personal Ecosystem takes a smartwatch beyond just a second screen accessory for my smartphone and truly makes it a "smartwatch." Without that functionality, the smartwatch is just a really convenient bluetooth accessory. The technology is already here! Just look at Kickstarter projects from Omate and WigWag and let your mind romp through a field of possibilities.Let's go back to the year 2001 for a moment. How many of you looked like you were Batman? On my hip I had my Sony Clie, my cellphone and my work pager. In my bag, I also had an iRiver MP3 player and laptop. The Handspring Treo 180 was the first step toward changing that equipment carry nightmare, with the iPhone revolutionizing it. I remember the joy of having a smartphone that did everything a belt full of devices used to do. One gadget to rule them all; or at least my Bat-belt clutter. Today I might have at any one time: a smartphone, fitness watch/band, password manager app and NFC ring or tag(s). Tomorrow, a smartwatch. Matter of fact, let me take it one step further and say that I like the direction Sony is headed so, tomorrow a tablet and a smartwatch. Period.There are definitely signs that some vendors may be thinking this way, but in order to have the breadth of connected tech and services needed to support a unified and consistent MEcosystem experience, companies with vast resources like Google, Apple and Samsung will need to buy in to the notion that we want more than their services and content ecosystems. More than social networks and predictive search- though I'm a huge fan, obviously. Besides, from a business perspective, the metadata that could be gained from supporting a MEcosystem of products and services would be invaluable to both parties (here comes the tinfoil hat commentary), though having the ability to opt out of such data collection would need to be a fundamental part of the MEcosystem.

The "How to Make A Makerspace" workshop, organized by Artisan's Asylum and MAKE Magazine, opened February 1 at the Artisan's Asylum, which is located in the former Ames Envelope Factory in Somerville, MA. Gui Cavalcanti is a co-founder of Artisan's Asylum and the conference organizer. He opened the conference talking about the two-and-a-half year history of Artisan's Asylum, which made the big move last year to its current 40,000 sq. ft. facility.
I gave the keynote. The core idea in my presentation is that makerspaces are the on-ramp for new people to become makers and participate in the Maker movement. I used the analogy of marathoning, and that the growth in participation in marathons was due to 1) greater participation by amateurs, not pros; 2) distributed organization of more races of different sizes in more locations; 3) better training for more people through local track clubs. Marathoning, like making, is hard and individuals require support and training to become involved. Makerspaces provide access to tools, materials and training, and they should be welcoming spaces that invite anyone who is curious to develop skills, start their own projects, and become active participants in the Maker community.
I mentioned the importance of getting makerspaces into many places in our community, using different models and different missions. Getting makerspaces into schools might be our biggest but most important challenge.
I presented some preliminary results on a Makerspace survey, which was hastily organized (by my team) in the week prior to the workshop. These results reflect about 35 makerspaces. We'd like to gather a broader sampling. (If you are a Makerspace organizer, please fill out this survey and make sure you register your space in the directory on this site.) You can find several more slides about the survey in my talk (here's the rough video). Again, I emphasize that these results are preliminary, but I'd like to work with the community to gather information on makerspaces.
I hope we can change two things about makerspaces as they are today. One is that "What happens in hackerspaces stays in hackerspaces." I'd like to see spaces and the people who use them generate more information about what's happening — sharing more broadly and consistently the cool and innovative projects, events, classes and activities that go on in the space. Secondly, I'd like to see makerspaces reach new audiences — it's not just a "guy thing" or a "geek thing". We need more women and people of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds to participate. We should not just be open and welcoming to new people but we should also export what goes on in a makerspace into other locations in the community such as libraries, schools and museums. We are all makers of spaces, and these spaces are makers of makers.
Here is the PDF of my presentation: Makerspaces-sm.

(lens) motors require torque to move lens elements
motor torque is related to voltage
increase the available voltage, increase the motor torque, speed up lens drive
Thats definitively wrong. Canon uses USM motors and the torque of this motors isnt related to voltage.
I cant imagine why a higher voltage should accelerate a USM motor.
So, one the one hand I'm definitely wrong, but on the other you can't see that I am definitely wrong. Can't have it both ways.
A USM motor causes movement by setting up an oscillation. The amplitude of that oscillation could be a function of available drive voltage.

Santo Loquasto has to be one of the busiest designers in the world. Theatre, dance, opera, movies — he does it all! He's been nominated for 14 Tony Awards, is a three-time Tony winner, and is also now the most recent winner of the Irene Sharaff Award's special Robert L.B. Tobin Award for Lifetime Achievement in Theatrical Design, presented by Theatre Development Fund's costume collection (which rents costumes to non-profit theatres across the country) on Friday, March 23, at the Hudson Theatre in New York City.
From Sticks and Bones, which opened on March 1, 1972, at the John Golden Theatre on Broadway to the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of 110 In the Shade, which opens this month at Studio 54, Loquasto has honed his art and craft of set and costume design by way of countless productions, including his three Tony winners, The Cherry Orchard, Café Crown, and Grand Hotel.
At the awards ceremony, Loquasto was quite funny in his remarks, wondering if he was indeed old enough for a lifetime achievement award and perplexed to think that he might actually be. "I have so shrouded my work in dissatisfaction. I would hate to think I had to stop," he says. "Collaboration is not for sissies, and I would be remiss if I didn't thank the lighting designers who have plunged my work into the dark over the years. You know who you are," which brought a big laugh from the standing-room-only audience.
Frank Galati, who directed Ragtime — for which Loquasto designed the costumes, and who presented the award — waxed poetic about the designer, his work, his palette, and his aesthetic. Needless to say, Loquasto has been honored for his body of work to date. There will clearly be many more years of fabulous designs to come in his lifetime.

The Stanford Cardinal can clinch the Pac-12 North with a win against UCLA on Saturday.
Stanford will be without defensive tackle Terrence Stephens against UCLA as he tends to a personal matter.
The Cardinal will head to Pasadena to take on the UCLA Bruins as two-point favorites on Saturday in a bid to win the Pac-12 North title.
The No. 11 Stanford Cardinal will look to make win their fourth consecutive game and book a rematch with the No. 15 Bruins with a win on Saturday afternoon at the Rose Bowl.
Following their huge 17-14 overtime win over the then-No. 2 Oregon Ducks on Saturday, the Stanford Cardinal gained considerable ground in the SB Nation BlogPoll top 25 this week.
The UCLA Bruins and Stanford Cardinal have risen to the top of the Pac-12 discussion and will look to prove who is the better team in what has the makings of a classic.
With Cal out of the bowl picture, all eyes are on Stanford and an upstart San Jose State squad.
The Stanford tight end is one of three finalists for the 2012 John Mackey Award.
The Stanford Cardinal has a win over the Oregon Ducks, which gives them a boost in the updated Pac-12 standings. They still need a win at UCLA to guarantee their shot at the Pac-12 title.

Asteroids and Comets
All the Little Things in the Solar System, and the Things They Can Do to Earth
Is there an asteroid or comet out there that poses a risk to life on Earth? The answer is certainly "yes," but we don't yet know where the next major impactor will come from or when it will crash. The best way to reduce this uncertainty is to search the skies for these crumbs of the solar system. The Planetary Society has a long history of supporting amateur and underfunded professional astronomers in their efforts to discover and track potentially hazardous near-Earth objects. This is useful not only for planetary defense, but also for learning about the solar system's origin and evolution.
A fortuitous byproduct of our increasing ability to detect fainter objects is that, for the first time, we now stand a chance of discovering smaller, five- to ten-meter-sized rocks while they are still in space before they burn up in our atmosphere and scatter meteorites along the ground. We are now beginning to link meteorites that we can study in our labs with the data on orbits and compositions that we amass with astronomical observations. Every meteorite, every tiny asteroid has a story, and we can combine these stories together to answer fundamental questions about how the solar system formed and evolved. What were the ingredients that made Earth and the other planets? How are those constituents different now? How have asteroid and comet impacts shaped the origin and evolution of life on Earth (and, potentially, on other planets)? Can asteroids serve as stepping-stones for human travel to farther destinations?

Sizing Up the Threat from Near-Earth Objects (NEOs)
Scientifically, it is useful to divide the impact hazard into two types of events: those with local consequences and those with global consequences. Global events, while much less likely, actually pose a greater risk.
The Torino scale is a color-coded advisory system that enables near-Earth object (NEO) researchers to place objects within a potential threat range from zero -- where there is virtually no chance of collision, to 10 -- where global catastrophe is certain.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops Radio
The three full-time members of the string band known as the Carolina Chocolate Drops met in 2005 at the Black Banjo Gathering at Appalachian State University in North Carolina, drawn together by their mutual love of bluegrass, "jass," jug music, and prehistoric country and rock. The acoustic musicians play a lively combination of standards and originals in these styles, sporting tongue-in-cheek, old-timey outfits and a spirited irreverence that barely disguises their technical facility. Their 2006 debut, Dona Got a Ramblin Mind, was released on the Music Maker label to wide acclaim, and they recorded three additional independent albums before their first widely distributed album, Genuine Negro Jig, appeared on Nonesuch in 2010. The group's next release on the label, which appeared early in 2011, was a four-song EP recorded with the New York City-based Romanian Gypsy punk band the Luminescent Orchestrii. The group augmented things with New Orleans-based cellist Leyla McCalla and beat box specialist Adam Matta for 2012's full-length Leaving Eden, which was produced by Buddy Miller. ~ Paula CarinoPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great quality
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets The quality of the magnet is great! It took some time to personalize it but I couldn't be happier. It comes in a nice box and I got a little notebook for invitation examples with a 25% discount that I didn't even request.
Great quality
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets I ordered the large Save the Date magnets and when I received then I was very disappointment at the font I had picked. It was so small even though it didn't look like that on my computer when I submitted my order. You could hardly see the dates. I called customer service and after they reviewed what I was talking about, they agreed to fix the Save the Dates with out hesitation. I received my new ones a week later. Even though it was disappointing at first and was easily fixed I will continue to order my wedding invites through them. Very good quality, received them in a timely fashion and their customer service staff were wonderful. Highly recommend:)
Perfect Save Our Date
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets MagnetStreet helped my fiance and I create a perfect save our date for our wedding. The options for editing the writing on the design to suit what we were looking for was my favorite part. The fact that they shipped incredibly fast and came in a turquoise box, the color of the wedding, was what set this company a part from others. I would definitely recommend using this website!
good quality
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets My save the dates magnets were great quality. The pictures I chose to have on my magnet came out a lot smaller than I would have expected, but the quality made up for the smallness.
Unique Save-the-Dates
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets The personalization of the save the dates was simple and I love that there are matching invites to tie everything together in the end. The save-the-dates came packaged in a beautiful box with some more information on invites which is extremely helpful.

Do you like the sound of running or bubbling water on a warm summer day? Me too!
To me there is no sweeter sound than trickling water when kicking back and relaxing — eyes closed, feet up and a soft breeze.
You may choose to go to a public park like Shanklin or Bonneyville or Ox Bow where streams create many of these pleasing sounds, or even to Lake Michigan where waves magnify the sounds. With a little ingenuity you may choose the alternative by creating your own trickling or splashing.
Some choose to go to the extreme by installing a pond with an elevated waterfall at one end or even the creation of a small stream adorned with pebbles and rocks that a pond pump can re-circulate the water from the pond and back to the top.
There is a formula to follow for the correct pump size when pumping to an elevation that any installer or pump retailer can provide you with. The length of the stream and/or the height of the waterfall or the stream will determine the size of pump necessary. Any reputable dealer will be able to provide you with pond liners, a pump or pumps, skimmer, biological filter, various spray patterns for a fountain, as well as plant baskets, clay or pond planting medium, and any plants and additives necessary to have a biologically balanced and crystal clear pond.
An elevated and dancing stream can be achieved by purchasing a pond liner large enough to be able to cut off an end and line the stream with this excess material.
Rocks and pebbles as well as flat sheets of limestone or slate can be used to create buffers and waterfall cliffs. Long runs may require a 'weld' of two sheets of liner and dealers should be able to supply you with this kit too. I've seen some very impressive installations and all it requires is a little imagination and some 'real time' labor. Available too are long narrow strips (some even with a pebble print as a design) for your stream. To get ideas, pick up a book at the library or a book store — this is a hot topic and there are many available to choose from.
Pond installation and maintenance as well as pond plants was my chosen topic when I became a master gardener and community talks and demonstrations were required of you. Working as a pair, another master gardener and I gave numerous classes on ponds and pond plants at the library and the ag building at the fairgrounds as well as a couple of surrounding cities.
Running or bubbling water doesn't necessarily have to be large scale. Consider even a small pot with a very small pump to create this sound — one that could easily sit on your deck or patio.
I've seen many kits available just for this purpose. A simple urn or a fancy glazed pot may also be the perfect container to pump from the bottom of the pot to the surface. A 3/8th-inch hose (part of the kit) that runs from the pump to a surface bubbler or spray head may be regulated for strength with a simple clamp that can be tightened to the desired flow. Make sure that a tight cork is used to plug the drainage hole of an urn if this is your choice.
Impressive kits I've seen use a decorative shallow bowl where the pump is buried with pebbles. A glazed marble sphere with a hole drilled through it rests atop the pebbles. A small hose from the pump to the bottom of the sphere releases just the proper amount of water (with a flow regulator) so that a continual soft glaze of water over the shiny surface of the glazed sphere is obtained.
This is the epitome of "just a little trick(le) will do."

SAINT Case Study – University Federal Credit Union
Industry – Banking/Financial Services
University Federal Credit Union (UFCU), an Austin based Credit Union, uses SAINT® Integrated Vulnerability Assessment Management solution to implement centralized network vulnerability scanning and penetration testing
The Challenge – University Federal Credit Union (UFCU) has 13 branches throughout its enterprise. In a continuously changing network environment, which relies on software from multiple third-party vendors that must be able to interact seamlessly, managing the security posture of such an environment can be enormously challenging, and very costly in terms of time and resources. Additionally, systems must be secured in a timely manner, and without adverse impact on performance or availability. Selecting tools to provide support for vulnerability management and remediation of such an environment can be equally challenging. The tools must be capable of, not only providing a powerful solution for scanning, analysis, reporting and remediation support, but must do so with minimal impact on the environment and with easy implementation.
The Solution – UFCU selected SAINT products to meet this challenge. SAINT adds value to UFCU's security program by providing enhanced vulnerability management capabilities. The vulnerability management portion of this program consists of regular network resources scanning to look for new vulnerabilities and exploits that are being discovered daily. Previously, much of this process was a manual effort to scan, remediate, and correlate trends. Now, UFCU uses a combination of SAINT's SAINTbox™ appliance and SAINT's integrated vulnerability, exploit, and reporting solution. UFCU can now assign specific tasks and access rights to various staff members, and execute their program using a holistic approach, while distributing task activities through the various functional areas of responsibility. This feature has been of great value to UFCU and directly contributed to reducing the total resource requirements in security management while meeting the overall objectives.
UFCU also needed to use the information collected from the scanning activities and collect evidence necessary to perform the necessary remediation. The level of information provided about vulnerabilities and how to remediate them varies by vendor, as well as different methods of classifying how critical the vulnerability is. SAINT provides a wide selection of resources to research vulnerabilities and, when available, can execute an exploit to lend credence to which vulnerabilities should be addressed first. The results of these exploits are invaluable in determining the impact of the vulnerabilities, and supporting our analysis and remediation processes.
UFCU also needed a robust and powerful reporting capability to support both in-house reporting and external compliance reporting requirements. UFCU uses SAINTwriter to produce important compliance and trend analysis reporting.
Conclusions – UFCU has been able to achieve their strategic goal of implementing centralized network vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.

Teachers throughout our nation are paying the price for a minority of teachers who have misused social media with their students, and that price has been the imposition of stricter guidelines that ban private conversations between teachers and students on cell phones and online social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Not surprisingly, these guidelines are being met with resistance by many teachers who use this type of technology as teaching tools or to engage with their students.
Missouri's new law, which imposed a ban on electronic communication between teachers and students, was declared unconstitutional by a judge after the state teachers union claimed it restricted teachers' free speech. The law was revamped this fall, and the ban was dropped. However, school boards in the state were told to develop their own social media policies by March 1.
Missouri isn't alone in trying to develop an appropriate policy. Even though school administrators acknowledge that most teachers use social media appropriately, school boards in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia have updated or are revising their social media policies this fall because they feel that there are increasingly compelling reasons to limit teacher-student contact.
Charol Shakeshaft, chairwoman of the Department of Educational Leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University, has studied teacher sexual misconduct for 15 years. Based on her studies, she said of electronic communication, "My concern is that it makes it very easy for teachers to form intimate and boundary-crossing relationships with students. I am all for using this technology. Some school districts have tried to ban it entirely. I am against that. But I think there's a middle ground that would allow teachers to take advantage of the electronic technology and keep kids safe."
The superintendent of schools in Statesboro, Georgia, Lewis Holloway, instituted a new policy in the fall which prohibits private electronic communications. Why? He learned that a Bulloch County, Georgia teacher was arrested this past summer, charged with aggravated child molestation and statutory rape of her 14-year-old male student. And reports of the incident indicated that Facebook and text messages had helped her cultivate the relationship.
Holloway, who has been a school administrator for 38 years, said, "It can start out innocent and get more and more in depth quickly. Our students are vulnerable through new means, and we've got to find new ways to protect them."
But it isn't only sexual misconduct that concerns school administrators; they fear that teachers may reveal too much information on sites like Facebook about their private lives. In Muskegon, Michigan, a new policy was adopted last month which states that public school employees can face disciplinary charges if they post pictures of themselves using alcohol or drugs on their social media sites.
Jon Felske, superintendent of Muskegon's public schools, explained, "We wanted to have a policy that encourages interaction between our students and parents and teachers. That is how children learn today and interact. But we want to do it with the caveat: keep work work — and keep private your personal life."
Richard J. Condon, special commissioner of investigation for New York City schools pointed to a steady increase in the number of complaints reported involving inappropriate communications on just Facebook alone in the last few years. Only eight complaints were lodged from September 2008 through October 2009, compared to 85 complaints from October 2010 through September 2011.
Yet, educators worry that an effective way of engaging students who use social media to communicate will be removed if policies regarding the proper use of technology become too restrictive.
Jennifer Pust is the head of the English department at Santa Monica High School, where a strict no fraternization policy governs teachers' online and offline relationships with their students. She said, "I think the reason why I use social media is the same reason everyone else uses it: it works. I am glad that it is not more restrictive. I understand we need to keep kids safe. I think that we would do more good keeping kids safe by teaching them how to use these tools and navigate this online world rather than locking it down and pretending that it is not in our realm."
A teacher of English for 10 years at Grosse Point High School in Michigan, Nicholas Provenzano, expressed his frustration that "all of us using social media in a positive way with kids have to take 15 steps back whenever there is an incident." But, he believes that the benefits outweigh the problems, and he communicates regularly with his students, mostly through Twitter, where he responds to their questions regarding his assignments. He admitted that on some occasions he has exchanged private messages with students regarding an assignment or school-related task.
He enumerated several advantages to using social media with his students. He is able to model best practices on social media use and has been able to engage some students through Twitter who do not raise their hand in class. Additionally, he said that using social media networks allowed him to collaborate on projects in other parts of the country.
Yet, in spite of the positive aspects of social media use in and out of the classroom by teachers, some teachers still favor a sharper barrier. For example, in Dayton, Ohio, the school board imposed a social media policy this fall which limits teachers to public exchanges only on school-run networks, and David A. Romick, president of their teachers union, welcomed the rules, saying, "I see it as protecting teachers. For a relationship to start with friending or texting seems to be heading down the wrong path professionally."

You show a picture of a Class 321 electric multiple unit, is it wishful thinking that electrification will be extended south of Bromsgrove?

Almost all metalcore bands that want to be noticed or stay relevant nowadays probably had to abandon the genre's cookie cutter verse-chorus-breakdown song structure long ago, and come up with something fairly new or innovative to bring to the table, instead. Misery Signals does not exactly reinvent the genre, and they probably won't interest anybody who isn't already a fan of it, but they aren't content to simply conform and be just one of the crowd, either — this is a band with a face! Thus, the Wisconsin-based quintet should have no problem turning many listeners' heads and becoming a really huge band. In fact, we could even be looking at heavy music's next big thing!
Misery Signal's second album, 2006's "Mirrors," transcends the mere "metalcore" label in that it fuses together crushing heaviness with bright melodies, odd time signatures, and very tight and technical musicianship. And unlike a lot of melodic metalcore, "Mirrors" is, first and foremost, a heavy album. It punishes the listener's ear drums relentlessly and from all angles, with pummeling, non-traditional rhythms, pounding drums, solid bass work, big, foundation-shaking breakdowns, and an impeccable, airtight interplay between the two guitarists' equally meaty, bludgeoning riffs. New singer, Karl Schubach, (who, by the way, was selected via a myspace competition after previous frontman Jesse Zaraska left the fold) is the band's biggest cliche, and his very limited and one-dimensional vocal range could be the only thing holding Misery Signals back from international greatness. In his defense, though, his beefy, full-bodied bellows (which are influenced squarely by modern day hardcore acts) do have a lot of force, power, and visceral impact, and they help to give the album its decisively edgy sound and in-your-face attitude. Overall, "Mirrors" sounds like a mix of Intronaut, Meshuggah, Hatebreed and/or Terror, and Zao, and the odd Converge influence is tossed in for good measure.
With some viscous double bass thunder, chunky, resonating power chords, livid, throat-ripping yells of "You brought this on yourself!", and a ginormous, brutally booming wall of sound, opener "Face Yourself" confidently storms through your speakers and crushes you like a bug as soon as you hit the "PLAY" button. "Reference Lost" and "Sword Of Eyes," which evoke the sound of a boulder lumbering down a mountainside, are the other heaviest tracks on offer here. Elsewhere, several of the songs –i.e. "The Failsafe," "Migrate" (which features exceptional bass playing by Kyle Johnson), and "Something Was Always Missing, But It Was Never You" (to name just a few) — feature sections of pretty, soothing, lightly-picked strings, thus creating an excellent juxtaposition between them and their muscular, dissonant, almost skull-crushing surroundings.
Finally, there are two main highlight tracks from a melodic standpoint: "One Day I'll Stay Home" and "An Offering To The Insatiable Sons Of God (Butcher)." The former boasts the album's strongest and most infectious hook when Fall Out Boy singer, Patrick Stump, lends a bit of sweet, infectiously tuneful crooning to the chorus, giving the track a refreshingly laid-back and almost emo-ish sensibility. And the latter song features the album's most prevalent melody, a sonically stunning and richly atmospheric intro that lasts upwards of forty seconds.
Bare in mind that "Mirrors" probably isn't the type of metalcore that you are used to hearing. This is a very challenging album, and its lack of immediate hooks, melodic vocals, conventional song structures, and sing-along choruses is likely to be initially a bit frustrating for some listeners, so it will probably require several patient, repeat listens to appreciate and absorb fully. But don't give up on it, because it may not be as easy to swallow as most standard metalcore fare, but after giving it a little time to digest, it is ultimately much more satisfying.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentucky recently hit high mark, the most law enforcement deaths in the past 20 years.
Kentucky laid four fallen heroes to rest in 2012, the most since 1992.
But nationally, law enforcement deaths are down 22% from 2011.
Kentucky averages 1.9 deaths per year, but last year we had four.
Two of them died in our region.
Most recently, Deputy Carl Rakes of Marion County was shot and killed at a traffic stop.
In September, Officer Mark Taulbee crashed his cruiser pursuing a suspect in Hodgenville.
Eric Johnson, the executive director of Supporting Heroes, says the numbers cannot be explained but it's been a terrible year in Kentucky.
Johnson says, "We as citizens take public safety for granted and when tragedy strikes and the reality of what they do, we're reminded of that we're reminded of the dangers."
Indiana did not have any officers die in the line of duty last year.
The state averages 3.2 law enforcement deaths per year.
