The older I get, the more I realize just how big the steaming piles of sexist bullshit are that society shovels onto girls and women every single day. From princess culture to the multi-billion dollar "beauty" industry, making billions by telling women they are too fat, too wrinkly, and too ugly; from the Republican right's incessant chipping away at women's access to affordable birth control and safe abortion to now blocking the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act because of changes that would extend protection to gays, lesbians, immigrants, and Native American women — some days it's hard for this feminist to get out of bed and face the day.
Last week, after sitting through the seemingly endless barrage of sexist Super Bowl XLVII ads, learning that sex trafficking is a serious problem in my state (I don't know why I'm surprised, it exists everywhere), and reading the transcript of a YouTube video where a high school boy laughs and jokes about a girl at a party being passed around and repeatedly raped while she was unconscious, I'm losing hope that I will live to see the day where all people, regardless of gender, will be treated as equals and with respect.
Those who say we live in a post-feminist society are completely full of shit. Folks, it's time to put on our hip waders and start shoveling. We have a lot of work to do. How are you helping to bring equality to all?

Marissa, a 4-year old Miniature Pincher, was found by the San Diego Humane Society's Humane Officers on September 12th in a parking structure located at 2216 El Camino Real in Oceanside. Marissa was found abandoned in a crate, and appeared to be badly injured. She received immediate medical attention from the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA.
"The injuries indicate that Marissa was strangled and beaten before she was abandoned in the crate. She's suffered from loss of eye sight from the strangulation and her leg needed to be amputated," says Randy Lawrence, Director of Humane Law Enforcement for the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA. "We've conducted an investigation to find the person(s) responsible, but we have very little information about what happened to Marissa. We're asking the community to please report any information or possible leads so we can find the person responsible, or Marissa's previous owners."
Today, Marissa is doing well and recovering from her injuries. She will be available for adoption on Friday, October 19th at the San Diego Humane Society's Central Campus located at 5500 Gaines Street. Adoptions open at 11am. Adoptions are on a first come, first serve basis.
Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society says, "What happened to Marissa is horrific and, unfortunately, we see animal cruelty like this all too often. We rely on information from the community to be able to seek justice for these defenseless animals. In just the past year, 14 cruelty cases have resulted in prosecution, and thousands more have been investigated. Fighting animal cruelty is one of our primary missions."
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for any information that leads to an arrest. Leads can be reported through an anonymous tip line on www.sdcrimestoppers.com or by calling (888) 580-8477. Information can also be reported to the San Diego Humane Society at www.sdhumane.org or by calling (619) 243-3466.

The Baltimore Ravens have narrowed their search down to Kyle Shanahan and Jim Hostler for the offensive coordinator position, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. The position came open when Jim Caldwell was named head coach of the Detroit Lions last week. Pittsburgh Steelers running back coach Kirby Wilson interviewed for the job Friday, but the Ravens decided to go in another direction, Rapoport reported. The Ravens' offense ranked No. 29 in the NFL in 2013 following the team's Super Bowl XLVII-winning season. Shanahan found success as the Houston Texans' offensive coordinator in 2008-09, but had mixed results in the same role for the Washington Redskins during the last four seasons. Hostler is currently the Ravens' wide receivers coach, a post he has held since 2008. He was the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator in 2007.

The elite are like plantation owners. They are punishing the rest of the slaves for what is going on in the Middle East by putting a strangle hold on the oil.
You are, all of you, born into slavery. Consider that the global elite are only a modern-day version of plantation owners, and we are all the slaves. Sure the slave houses are a little better and there are at least what appear to be amenities, but do not be deceived. When a small minority of extremely wealthy people hold the entire power of the wealth, food and governing might and those who are in the majority do nothing but what those few deem "the way", then you have nothing more than slave masters over willing slaves.
As a whole, humanity is kind and loving and generous. The majority of people would be willing to help another in need if only they had the ability. Most people would tell you that if they were "rich" they would spread the wealth to the ones they have known in similar positions. And yet we somehow allow this minority of self-serving, power-hungry few to tell us that we all hate each other.
When did we all fall asleep and loose our way? Many of you would tell me that mankind has always been like this. I would answer, "Yes, and at the same time a thunderous NO!" See, many tribes and clans have known and understood the ways of complimentary living to Mother Earth. This wonderful Celestial being that humans so callously consider a piece of property is a living being. We are no more than mere guardians of the planet. It has always been our place to maintain the symbiosis within this beautiful Eden, but in the last few centuries, the tribes and clans who have the truth of understanding on how to exist in harmony with Nature have been stifled and silenced and all but extinguished. Their ways now considered ancient or out of touch are the only ways that mankind will know when the shift occurs.
We need to remember our way and put aside what is unimportant. Remember that Mother speaks with ease to a spirit at ease, but the restless spirit must fight the wind and in doing so fails to hear the music upon the wind. This music is telling us to stop and listen and remember that we are slaves to no one. We are all born free by Natural Law and as such it is uncontestable.

Information visualization
Information visualization or information visualisation is the study of (interactive) visual representations of abstract data to reinforce human cognition. The abstract data include both numerical and non-numerical data, such as text and geographic information. However, information visualization differs from scientific visualization: "it's infovis [information visualization] when the spatial representation is chosen, and it's scivis [scientific visualization] when the spatial representation is given".[1]
The field of information visualization has emerged "from research in human-computer interaction, computer science, graphics, visual design, psychology, and business methods. It is increasingly applied as a critical component in scientific research, digital libraries, data mining, financial data analysis, market studies, manufacturing production control, and drug discovery".[2]
Information visualization presumes that "visual representations and interaction techniques take advantage of the human eye's broad bandwidth pathway into the mind to allow users to see, explore, and understand large amounts of information at once. Information visualization focused on the creation of approaches for conveying abstract information in intuitive ways."[3]
Data analysis is an indispensable part of all applied research and problem solving in industry. The most fundamental data analysis approaches are visualization (histograms, scatter plots, surface plots, tree maps, parallel coordinate plots, etc.), statistics (hypothesis test, regression, PCA, etc.), data mining (association mining, etc.), and machine learning methods (clustering, classification, decision trees, etc.). Among these approaches, information visualization, or visual data analysis, is the most reliant on the cognitive skills of human analysts, and allows the discovery of unstructured actionable insights that are limited only by human imagination and creativity. The analyst does not have to learn any sophisticated methods to be able to interpret the visualizations of the data. Information visualization is also a hypothesis generation scheme, which can be, and is typically followed by more analytical or formal analysis, such as statistical hypothesis testing.
The modern study of visualization started with computer graphics, which "has from its beginning been used to study scientific problems. However, in its early days the lack of graphics power often limited its usefulness. The recent emphasis on visualization started in 1987 with the special issue of Computer Graphics on Visualization in Scientific Computing. Since then there have been several conferences and workshops, co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM SIGGRAPH".[4] They have been devoted to the general topics of data visualisation, information visualization and scientific visualisation, and more specific areas such as volume visualization.
In 1786, William Playfair, published the first presentation graphics.

Daniel J. Graeber
Advances in drilling technology are expected to help North Dakota hit the 1 million barrel per day mark at some point this year. But it's Texas that still holds the leadership position in terms of oil production. Don't mess with Texas.
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today issued the following statement regarding the U.S. State Department's environmental impact study on the Keystone XL pipeline:
Governor Perry delivered his State of the State address this week, proposing to consolidate or suspend non-critical state agencies in order to make state government more streamlined and efficient. The governor also outlined his priorities for the 82nd Legislative Session, including balancing the budget without raising taxes, preserving essential services, and strengthening Texas' position as a national economic leader through sound policies. Check out the Governor's entire State of the State address below.

Join over 100 groups in supporting Gov. Perry for re-election
HOUSTON – Today Gov. Rick Perry received the endorsement of former President George H.W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush for the general election. They were joined by representatives from more than 100 organizations and hundreds of leaders who have endorsed Gov. Perry's re-election, highlighting his diverse, statewide support, which represents millions of Texans.
"Gov. Perry's leadership and proven track record is an essential component in keeping Texas a national leader in job creation," said former President George H.W. Bush. "Texas has become a prime example of what happens when you mix fiscal responsibility, strong leadership and a vision of moving a state forward. It is an honor to endorse Gov. Rick Perry for the general election."
George H.W. Bush was sworn in as president of the United States in January 1989 and served until January 1993. During his term in office, the Cold War ended; the threat of nuclear war was drastically reduced; the Soviet Union ceased to exist, replaced by a democratic Russia with the Baltic States becoming free; the Berlin Wall fell and Germany was reunified with Eastern Europe; and he put together an unprecedented international coalition to liberate Kuwait.
Former First Lady Barbara Bush is a tireless advocate of volunteerism, helping countless charities and humanitarian causes. Today she and President Bush serve as Co-Chairs of C-Change, an organization that represents more than 150 individuals and groups that fight cancer. She also enjoys reading to children at schools and hospitals across the nation.
"I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush," said Gov. Perry. "His devotion and leadership, to our country, has brought forth inspiration to us all."
Gov. Perry's endorsements highlight the broad-based support he has from diverse groups and industries, ranging from agriculture, health care and retail sales, to construction, law enforcement and education.
In his remarks, Gov. Perry emphasized the creation of 850,000 Texas jobs in the last ten years and the recent drop in the unemployment rate in Texas; leaving the national rate nearly two points above ours. He also touted our state's low taxes, predictable regulatory climate, fair legal system and education efforts as crucial elements that have helped make it a national leader in exports and Fortune 1000 companies.

National Review
Kathleen Hartnett White
Texas has been the engine of the current economic recovery, creating more than half of net job growth across the country in the last twelve months. From 2000 to 2009, while Texas created more jobs than all the other states combined, it simultaneously lowered its ozone levels 22 percent; the nation as a whole lowered its ozone level only 8 percent. Houston, which had long been vying with Los Angeles for the title of the most ozone-polluted city in the country, achieved the federally required ozone standard last year. In fact, all Texas urban regions met the federal standard except Dallas/Fort Worth, which exceeded the standard by only one part per billion. Stringent but targeted controls, cutting-edge science, innovative technology, billions of dollars invested by the state and private industry, and the volunteer efforts of thousands of Texans drove the improvements in air quality. The state designed and implemented the undertaking largely in cooperation with EPA.

Texas already looms large in its own imagination. Its elevated self-image didn't need this: More than half of the net new jobs in the U.S. during the past 12 months were created in the Lone Star State.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 214,000 net new jobs were created in the United States from August 2009 to August 2010. Texas created 119,000 jobs during the same period. If every state in the country had performed as well, we'd have created about 1.5 million jobs nationally during the past year, and maybe "stimulus" wouldn't be such a dirty word.
What does Austin know that Washington doesn't? At its simplest: Don't overtax and -spend, keep regulations to a minimum, avoid letting unions and trial lawyers run riot, and display an enormous neon sign saying, "Open for Business."
At bottom, the struggle between national Republicans and Democrats is over whether the country will adopt a version of the Texas model, or of the Michigan, New York, or California model. Will government allow the private sector to thrive, or stifle growth with its hyperactivity and favoritism for anti-business interests? If migration were a referendum, the Texas model would be winning in a rout — more than 1,300 people a day moved there between their 2007 and 2008 tax filings, according to Internal Revenue Service data.
It's not as though Texas has been exempt from the Great Recession. Its unemployment rate is 8.3 percent — high, though beneath the national rate of 9.6 percent. It faces a recession-driven shortfall of roughly $15 billion for its next two-year budget, a significant challenge to its low-tax ways. But it has weathered the storm better than the nation, and better than its mammoth competitor on the West Coast.
A new Texas Public Policy Foundation report notes that Texas experienced a decline of 2.3 percent from its peak employment, while the nation declined 5.7 percent and California 8.7 percent. During the past 12 months, California nearly canceled out Texas's job creation all by itself, losing 112,000 net jobs. Its unemployment rate is above 12 percent.
Texas is a model of governmental restraint. In 2008, state and local expenditures were 25.5 percent of GDP in California, 22.8 in the U.S., and 17.3 in Texas. Back in 1987, levels of spending were roughly similar in these places. The recessions of 1991 and 2001 spiked spending everywhere, but each time Texas fought to bring it down to pre-recession levels. "Because of this policy decision," the Texas Public Policy Foundation report notes, "Texas' 2008 spending burden remained slightly below its 1987 levels — a major accomplishment."
Less spending means lower taxes. Texas doesn't have an income tax — in contrast to California's highly progressive income tax — and it is among the 10 lowest-tax states in the country. Its regulatory burden is low across the board, and it's a right-to-work state that enacted significant tort reform in the middle of the last decade.
It is true that Texas enjoys bountiful oil and natural-gas reserves, but its attitude toward those resources is what's most important — "if you got 'em, use 'em." If only the Obama administration's Department of the Interior agreed. The state long ago defied the stereotype of an economy entirely dependent on bumptious oilmen. In Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, it has four diverse, thriving metropolitan areas featuring robust high-tech and manufacturing sectors.
In Texas in recent decades, the watchwords have been prudence and stability in the course of nurturing a pro-business environment, while California has undergone a self-immolation that Pres. Barack Obama wants to replay nationally. Joel Kotkin writes of California in City Journal, "During the second half of the twentieth century, the state shifted from an older progressivism, which emphasized infrastructure investment and business growth, to a newer version, which views the private sector much the way the Huns viewed a city — as something to be sacked and plundered."
With predictable results. For policymakers wanting to restart the American jobs machine, forget the Alamo. Keep in mind the Texas model.

As the United States contemplates a clean-energy future, leadership is coming from a surprising place— Texas.
This state is well-known for producing oil and natural gas. But Texas also has erected far more turbines than any other state and now has nearly three times as much wind capacity as Iowa, which is ranked second. Forests of turbines have sprouted atop remote, scrubby mesas. If Texas were its own country, it would generate more wind power than all but five nations—the United States, China, Germany, Spain and India.
''Texas still has a long way to go to meet its future energy demand with an increased amount of clean energy, but there's a lot of success to build on,'' said Michael Brune, the executive director of the Sierra Club, a major environmental group based in San Francisco, who visited the state last week. Texas, he said, ranks second nationally in the creation of clean-energy jobs, after California.

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry has received the endorsement of both the Texas and national chapters of the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA) for the 2010 general election.
"Gov. Perry has proven himself a strong ally of sportsmen through his efforts to push back against unnecessary federal regulations upon anglers, while also effectively protecting the environment," said Robert T. Healey, chairman of the RFA. "His efforts have kept Texas a top destination for outdoor recreation and we are proud to endorse him in his re-election campaign."
"While the federal government seeks to impose burdensome, unnecessary mandates upon the angling industry through shortened seasons and bag limits, Gov. Perry has sought to balance the need between protecting our sport as well as the environment," said Jim Smarr, chairman of Texas RFA. "His leadership over our state has made Texas a place where any individual from any background can take hold of opportunity and find success. We are proud of his ongoing support of Texas anglers, particularly his efforts to support the federal flexibility in the Magnuson Act, and are pleased to endorse his re-election effort."

The Weekly Standard

On the 80-mile drive from San Antonio to the Texas capitol in Austin, it's difficult to miss the signs of growth. At every highway exit, it seems, huge new shopping malls greet motorists. Valleys where cattle grazed five years ago now sport shiny new Target stores, tract homes, and tennis courts. Between 2000 and 2009, Texas added about 4 million residents, more than half of them migrants from elsewhere in the nation. And Texas will almost certainly emerge from the recession with the nation's strongest and most important economy.
In May alone, Texas, America's second most populous state, added over 75,000 jobs—more than California (the biggest), New York (third biggest), and Florida (fourth biggest) combined. Texas has shown consistent gains in 10 of the 11 categories of private employment that the Bureau of Labor Statistics measures. The state is far more than cowboys and oil: It has several of the nation's leading medical research centers (Baylor and UT hospitals among them), one of the biggest computer makers (Dell), and a financial industry that never took a turn for the worse. And, even though unemployment remains a tick over 8 percent (about a point and a half lower than the national average), the rapid growth is bringing this down quickly. During the last week in June, the job-hunt website Monster.com offered more new job openings in Texas than in California even though the Golden State has over 10 million more people. In a nation looking for economic good news, Texas stands out as a bright spot.

This build-out of the Paris flagship park vies with Tokyo as the largest (physically) Disneyland-style park I've drawn.
I really like the idea floated for a 1920s Main Street in Paris. However, across the promenade, a large chunk of my Paris DisneySea is dedicated to Jazz Age New York, so I was able to keep the existing turn-of-the-century Main Street here, with a few small additions (a farmers market, Walt Disney Story show/exhibit, and automata museum).
My version of Frontierland sees the relocating of the Chaparral Theatre to make way for the addition of a mega-E flume ride called, Legends of the Wild West. This a bit darker, more history-oriented take on the famous Western River Expedition, fitting the expectations set up by the very realism-based Thunder Mesa (rather than the lighter Frontierland with its singing bears, Tom Sawyer, etc.). It covers the Indian Wars, famous outlaws, buffalo hunt, etc.
I had to stretch Adventureland westward and enlarge the central show building in order to accommodate all the attractions I had in mind. Rather than an Aladdin walkthough, there is a suspended dark-ride that tells the same story with full sets & animatronics. The Arabian section also has the original, pre-"cutsie-fied" version of Sinbad's Seven Voyages from Tokyo DisneySea:
In the western part of the land, past the original Explorers Club with its tiki birds, there is an original (not off-the-shelf) Indy coaster that takes guests careening through Meso-American ruins (Southeast Asia is the setting for Indy's Paris-DisneySea adventures). The major E-ticket here is a high-speed (EMV) version of Jungle Cruise on land.:
Fantasyland sees the once-planned additions of a Little Mermaid suspended dark ride and a Beauty & Beast show. Since the western show building is mostly dedicated to the two Arabian Adventureland rides, Pinocchio moves over to the expanded eastern building. North of Peter Pan, I've added Pooh's Hunny Hunt from Tokyo. With three suspended dark rides (Aladdin, Mermaid & Pan), the wait times at the latter should be reduced. But in a park with 50+ attractions, including 12 E-tickets, crowds should be nicely spread out regardless.
North of Fantasyland is a sub-land dedicated to non-Disney, high-fantasy - all original content. The Casey Jr. train is converted to a dragon ride vehicle to fit this theme. Storybook Land Canal Boats remains the same - marking the transition of the fantasy genres (fairytale & sword/sorcery).
Discoveryland is pure future as envisioned by 19th Century visionaries (Vernes and Wells) - unsullied by Pixar. The enormous Discovery Mountain houses multiple attractions (including De La Terre a la Lune v.1, Nemo's Grand Salon, and a Journey freefall D-ticket).
Having Star Wars (or Eo) in Discoveryland never sat well with me. Here, finally, the iconic Star Wars franchise gets its own dedicated land. A 1:1 recreation of the Millennium Falcon is fully explorable.
The Mos Eisley Cantina is the place to get a drink while listening to the alien band. A Jedi Training Grounds takes explorers to various environs like Endor and Hoth. The landmark attraction is the E-ticket to which all other rides in the world can be measured. Housed in the largest theme park showbuilding (for a single ride) I've yet drawn, I imagine an elaborate Kuka dark ride (similar to Potter but using mostly physical sets/props/fx rather than "projection domes"). The show building is themed as a crashed, life-sized Imperial Star Destroyer - most of which is either buried under the earth or rotted away (since the real thing would be a mile long), but it is here where the dark forces are plotting their return.
The time period is post-Return of the Jedi, and a new Sith Lord is attempting to rebuild the Empire. The ride would simulate blaster battles and Jedi & Sith duels using the Force to throw interfering guests around like toothpicks.

All these nightly news reports of the oversight failures in the pharmaceutical industry that allowed a so-called compounding pharmacy located just 20 miles down the road from where I live in Massachusetts to wreak havoc with tens of thousands of lives (including those who developed fungal meningitis from contaminated injections and those who are just frantically worrying about getting it) got me thinking about government oversight of the aviat
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is the value of being able to walk through a finished aircraft long before the first seat is installed or the first carpet?
At this year's NBAA convention in Orlando, new cabin technology was holding court, eliciting a chuckle from a day-one visitor who remarked, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, "This stuff will probably be outdated by the time the show ends."
Recently I was fortunate to experience something that is probably fairly ordinary for most corporate pilots, initial type rating training at a simulator training center. I had the opportunity to complete a Citation V type rating initial course at FlightSafety International's Long Beach, Calif., learning center. And for a pilot who hasn't spend much time in a two-pilot cockpit environment nor flying a jet, the experience was tremendously beneficial, illuminating and hugely enjoyable.
Few would argue with the characterization by a senior Western airframe manufacturer of the Comac C919 as "a serious project by a serious company." But the clumsy effort by the Chinese conglomerate to certify the ARJ21 regional jet begs the question: Do serious intentions necessarily equate to a serious product?
Washington, D.C., has a reputation for doing nothing, and inaction is often the best-case scenario. But let's take the time to really consider what you get–and what you don't get–from a spineless bureaucracy and a feckless Congress. First, what you do get is ill thought-out legislation. What you don't get is legislation that is desperately needed to protect the safety of the traveling public.
It's not the U.S. presidential election, but it's similarly hard-fought and bitter. In a previous post, we reported on the showdown between ATC Global, the long-established ATC conference run by global media company UBM, and the upstart World ATM Congress, advanced by the Netherlands-based Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (Canso) "in association" with the Air Traffic Control Association (Atca) of the U.S.
Reaction to the collapse of negotiations between Hawker Beechcraft and Superior Aviation Beijing seems to be less that of surprise and more about the inevitability of the dead end the two companies reached.
As a non-pilot I have rarely found myself in the cockpit of a jet airplane in flight. In fact, I have been afforded this distinct privilege exactly twice in two distinctly different aircraft.

Fourth-grader Nathan Gable participates in the washer toss game, which is part of the Allen County Sheriff's Department annual D.A.R.E. Camp at Franklin Elementary School. The premise behind the D.A.R.E. Program is to teach kids the dangers of drugs, tobacco and alcohol and learn how to make good decisions, how to handle peer pressure and why friends and family are so important. The program also offers free photo/DNA identification cards throughout Allen County. The cards are wallet-sized for parents to keep an updated photo and their child's DNA just in case the child comes up missing. D.A.R.E. Camp runs through Thursday. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

Ellen Lee DeGeneres (pronounced /dɨˈdʒɛnərəs/; born January 26, 1958) is an American stand-up comedienne, television host and actress. She hosts the syndicated talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and was also a judge on American Idol for one year, having joined the show in its ninth season.
DeGeneres has hosted both the Academy Awards and the Primetime Emmys. As a film actress, she starred in Mr. Wrong, appeared in EDtv and The Love Letter, and provided the voice of Dory in the Disney-Pixar animated film Finding Nemo, for which she was awarded a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress, the first and only time a voice performance won a Saturn Award.
She also starred in two television sitcoms, Ellen from 1994 to 1998 and The Ellen Show from 2001 to 2002. During the fourth season of Ellen in 1997, DeGeneres came out publicly as a lesbian in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Shortly afterwards, her character Ellen Morgan also came out to a therapist played by Winfrey, and the series went on to explore various LGBT issues including the coming out process.

An arrest has been made in a stray-bullet shooting in 2009 that shocked the Kansas City area and claimed the life of the top attorney for the Kansas education agency.
Calah D. Johnson has been indicted with second-degree murder and shooting a firearm into a motor vehicle. A grand jury handed down the indictment, and a judge on Friday set his bond at $500,000.
Johnson is serving time in a federal prison. Officials indicated that witnesses came forward that led to Johnson's arrest in the death of Deanna Lieber on the night of July 17, 2009.
Lieber had been to a Starlight Theater show with her then 13-year-old daughter, Tessa, and mother in law. The three had left the theater and were traveling on U.S. 71 when a bullet shattered the vehicle and struck Lieber, who was driving. This occurred in the southbound lanes near 59th Street.
She died immediately. Her death devastated the education community.
Police had looked for two vehicles, a purple Pontiac Grand Prix and a green Mercury Mountaineer, that were seen chasing each other in the area of 55th Street and 71 Highway at the time of the shooting. Police immediately pulled video from a traffic camera and identified the license plate of the cars, but were unable to get the case to court until now.
As the years passed, her family and friends despaired that an arrest would be made.
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said it's never too late for justice. She praised detectives who worked the case tirelessly and never gave up in finding Lieber's killer.
"These charges are a long time in coming," she said. "It's never ever too late to bring justice to a family. I am so grateful to be able to announce these charges today."
Tessa Lieber, now 18 years old, attended the news conference. Lieber's father, Melvin Wackerle, said the family is relieved by an arrest, and praised the two detectives who wouldn't forget the case.
Wackerle described his granddaughter's plea to the two detectives who responded to the crime scene on that horrible night four years ago.
"Please find who did this to my Mommy," Wackerle quoted his granddaughter as saying at the time. "Their dedication and perseverance is what got us to this point today. We are very thankful to these two gentlemen."
He said for someone to fire a bullet in a populated area did so for foolish reasons or out of anger, and they intended to harm someone.
"This person must be held accountable," he said. "The court action doesn't change anything for Deanna's friends, family, husband and children. She is missed every day by every one of us."
According to Baker, traffic video showed Lieber's vehicle being hit by gunfire. A witness in 2012 identified Johnson as the shooter via a police photo lineup. A second witness in July claimed that Johnson had told him that "he shot the school teacher from Kansas," according to Baker's office.That man claimed that Johnson was firing at someone else as part of a dispute over a burglary at his girlfriend's apartment.
The Mountaineer was registered to Johnson's girlfriend at the time of the shooting. The driver of the purple Pontiac said she was being fired at by someone in the vehicle behind her. She said her boyfriend said he believed they were targeted because he had once dated the driver of the Mercury and blamed him for a break-in.
"We couldn't get there without witnesses willing to step up and do the right thing, which is tell us what they know about a criminal offense, so that we can march into that courtroom and try to get justice for families," Baker said.
In September 2009, Johnson denied any involvement in an interview with police.

About WATD-FM WATD is one of those seemingly impossible ideas which actually worked and has now endured for over three full decades. The idea for the station in Marshfield emerged as the result of a prospecting trip Carol Ebert Perry and Edward Perry made in December of 1972.

Norwood: Drug bust results in 3 arrestsNo Comments

Arizona Wildcats running back Ka'Deem Carey has been the named the Pac-12's offensive player of the week.
Carey rushed for a program-and-conference-record 366 yards in Saturday's 56-31 win over Colorado at Arizona Stadium. His 400 all-purpose yards — Carey also caught two passes for 34 yards — were also the most in program history. Carey also scored five a school-record five touchdowns. In 10 games, Carey — a Canyon del Oro High School graduate — leads the UA with 1,381 yards and 18 touchdowns. He averages more rushing yards per game (138.1) than 40 Div. I FCS teams, including Pac-12 foes Washington, Utah, Oregon State, Colorado and Washington State.
Carey's performance was the talk of college football over the weekend. ESPN's Mark May awarded him one of his two "helmet stickers", and the College Football Performance Awards and Arizona's coaches gave Carey their weekly award.
His performance was the best in the Pac-12 since Washington State's Ruben Mayes gained 357 yards against Oregon 1984.
Coach Rich Rodriguez said Carey "runs as hungry and as angry as any back in the country."

2.38/5 rDev -4.4%
I've seen this beer in the stores in both Bottles and Cans. This sample is from a large bottle. It pours a light golden color with exceptional clarity. The head is initially rocky and attractive, but is quite short-lived. The aroma has a lot of grain and grass, backed by a slight musty hop smell. It's not a pilsener-like aroma at all, but it's a bit more than expected. The taste is moderately sweet, with a little peppery quality. Not as much hop flavor or bitterness as I'd like. The sweetness doesn't survive to the finish, which is abrupt and a little thin. The beer is of medium-to-high carbonation, but has a really watery body. This is not what I'd call a pilsener, and I'd pass on having another. It's neither offensive nor undrinkable, but is a disappointment nonetheless.

2.13/5 rDev -14.5%
66 cL bottle, something unusual for this brewery.
Appearance: Into a pint glass, this beer has an incredibly light yellow body. A forceful pour conjures up a head of sticky white lace which has excellent retention. Carbonation is incredibly low.
Smell: Underwhelming scent of malt with unexpected tones. I don't believe this is Pils malt being used, but more the middle of the road Euro malt base of barley with plenty of corn and rice. Sad. Nothing in the way of hops!
Taste: Bland. Some more life to the malt, with biscuit dough and a strange aftertaste of...mushrooms. I had 66 cL and I repeatedly tried this trying to pinpoint the flavor. I kept arriving at a earthy, moldy, fungal quality. Like fresh mushrooms. The hops finally poke through in the finish as well with some pepper, but don't show the spice that they ought during the actual drinking.
Mouthfeel: I blame the blandness of this on the low carbonation. Most of the other products they make are strong lagers, and I think they just haven't concentrated on the differences required by a different style (pilsner). Get this pup fizzed up!
Drinkability: Not great. It's less offensive than most Euro lagers, but it lacks everything a pilsner needs. Not one I'd revisit.

I had this beer in Italy in the bottle was not really impressed. Aroma has grassy and grainy, bad quality hops. Clear and golden coloured, almost no head. Taste is on the sweet side. I enjoy some of the Ceres beers but this was just an average beer that had no qualities that stand out.

2.83/5 rDev +13.7%
Ceres Top - the old Aarhus classic and one of Denmarks most exported beer. It lies in the taste and expression somewhere between Carlsberg (Hof) and Tuborg (Green). It has nothing great to offer, but cooled or chilled it is a pretty good 'hand beer'. As a mainstream beer, it is far better than Carlsberg, but has nothing on Tuborg. Drink it once a tourist in Aarhus, or find it on the bar in Eastern Europe, the United States or Thailand.
Appearance is average
Smell is rather non-existing
Taste is light and fresh, and there's a minimal use of hops in this pilsner.
Mouthfeel is...hmm well there's nothing there really
And as far as drinkability goes, this one is for everybody. Not as boring or watery as Budweiser, but among danish beer, pretty generic.

The guidelines on this page apply specifically to the main NCI website (http://www.cancer.gov). Owners of NCI component sites may wish to consider these for use on their own sites.
Images can be a powerful and direct means of communicating ideas and feelings about an organization and can create a personal connection with an audience. Imagery used for the main NCI website has been selected to give a consistent look throughout the site. Here are some recommended attributes for NCI website imagery.
- Use realistic or natural portraits of people interacting as everyday individuals; avoid images that look overly staged or set up.
- Represent NCI's major audiences: patients, health professionals, and researchers.
- Be positive and encouraging in tone when possible.
- Use cropping to focus on the idea or feeling and not specific contents.
- Use images that are bright and colorful, with a good amount of white or clarity.
Content-Specific Images: Size and Placement
Standard size and placement of images should be used for overall site consistency. The following general guidelines should be observed:
- The width for a smaller size image is 190 pixels – roughly one-third of the main content area's total width of 571 pixels. The height should be proportional and complementary to the existing content and layout of the page.
- When using a larger image, the width should be no more than two-thirds of the main content area width of 571 pixels – roughly 380 pixels. Again, the height of the image should be proportional and complementary.
- Text in the main content area should wrap around images.
- Each image should allow for padding on either the left or right, depending on placement within the layout. When text wraps around the image, 20 pixels should be allowed between the image and the text to allow for proper spacing.
Use of Images
NCI Visuals Online contains images from the collections of the Office of Communications and Education and the Office of Media Relations, National Cancer Institute. Contents include general biomedical and science-related images, cancer-specific scientific and patient care-related images, and portraits of directors and staff of the National Cancer Institute.
NOTE: NCI staff may see a larger selection of potential images by clicking on the "staff" link in the Visuals Online page footer. If you reuse an image, make sure it's in the public domain. If an image is copyright protected, you will have to contact the rights holder to obtain reuse permission.

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

Review for this cottage.
This cottage was even more wonderful than we expected. When we walked in we felt as if we were walking into a warm, clean and inviting atmosphere. We brought our dog and the location was perfect for walking him, lots of quiet streets to navigate. We fished off the dock and watched the fish jump all around us without a nibble. I would highly recommend this wonderful retreat to vacationers that want to relax and enjoy the quiet southern pace of life. Jo Ann returned our deposit check promptly with a lovely note of thanks.

The TV is here to stay. Like all permanent fixtures in a home, the TV needs a way to be stored, along with all the components that have attached themselves to it. No longer is the TV itself a piece of furniture. It is only part of an overall media center. The TV needs a TV stand for sure, but that stand is going to need to have room for the media storage in addition to providing a home for the TV. DVD players and the collection of DVDs, various video game consoles and the games that go with them, and the TV, all will now need to be stored in a media center somewhere in your home. It might be in the living room, den, family room, basement, rec room, bedroom, or a combination of any of them. So, not only might you need one media center, you might need two, or three. SpaceSavers has attractive as well as functional TV stands and media centers for any room in your home.
Do you just have a small flat screen in your bedroom? Maybe you have a hankering for wicker? You already have the wicker end tables, so why not a wicker media center for your lightweight flat screen? Yep. SpaceSavers has it. Complete with multiple shelves and side drawers for even more storage. Who doesn't need more storage? If you rearrange or upgrade your small flat screen to something bigger later down the road, well, that wicker stand will function just as nicely as a hobby and craft center, in a toy room, in the bathroom to store and organize the washcloths, towels, soaps, and lotions, or as a hall table. The possibilities do not just extend to a flat screen TV. The possibilities for a versatile piece of furniture like this one really are only limited by your imagination. So, imagine away. Use it as TV stand and media storage this year and move it on to the bathroom next year.
SpaceSavers loves anything that can be beautiful and versatile in the myriad of options for how it could be used. Take a two drawer chest as your media center. The flat screen TV is up on top. DVDs and games are in the drawers out of sight. It looks good. It is working out great! Well, this piece of furniture will go well beyond just your TV. You can use it in a mudroom or by an entrance door as a bench to sit down on and take off your shoes. Get the shoes up and off the floor so nobody trips on them. Where should you put them? Why not in the drawers. Or keep your gloves, hats, and scarves in the drawer. No more looking everywhere for your young son's favorite super hero hat. It was put away in the drawer with the other hats as soon as he came in the door from school. That saves you time. It keeps the clutter organized. It's an efficient use of space. Versatile and beautiful. We love that and think you will too.
For the gamers out there or if you have some kids in your family (old or young) who have a Wii, Nintendo, or Playstation, you will love the game caddy storage unit that we have. It keeps the cords organized. Keeps the games organized. You can keep multiple gaming consoles on it. The shelving is ventilated so the consoles won't overheat. It is easy to assemble. It doesn't take up a lot of space. It's made in the USA. Now, that is something to feel good about.
SpaceSavers can get all of your media storage and more neatly stored in a beautiful way. So, you can get back to enjoying what all of your media has to offer you.

Karen Armstrong explains how to practise the religion of compassion that her last books have preached.
In November 2009 Armstrong and TED launched The Charter of Compassion, which states that "We call upon all men and women to restore compassion to the centre of morality and religion...to cultivate an informed empathy with the suffering of all human beings — even those regarded as enemies." To date, it's been signed by over 48,000 people on the Web, including such figures as The Dalai Lama and Queen Noor, Dave Eggers and Meg Ryan. (www.charterforcompassion.org) Out of the ideals of that Charter has come this humane, accessible, indispensable short book for our times.
From the Hardcover edition.

KAREN ARMSTRONG, one of the foremost commentators on religious affairs, is the bestselling author of A History of God (1993), The Battle for God (2000), Islam: A Short History (2000), Buddha (2001), The Spiral Staircase (2004), The Great Transformation (2006) and The Case for God (2009), among many other books. Having spent seven years as a Roman Catholic nun, she left her order in 1969 and took a B.Litt. at Oxford, taught modern literature at the University of London and headed the English department of a public girls' school. She became a freelance writer and broadcaster in 1982, and in 1983 she worked in the Middle East on a six-part documentary television series on the life and works of St. Paul. Her other television work has included Varieties of Religious Experience (1984) and Tongues of Fire (1985); the latter resulted in an anthology by that name on religious and poetic expression. In 1996 she participated in Bill Moyers' television series Genesis. She has taught at the Leo Baeck College for the Study of Judaism and the Training of Rabbis and Teachers and was awarded the 1999 Muslim Public Affairs Council Media Award. She regularly contributes reviews and articles to newspapers and journals.
