"Revolutionary Guard is Cautiously Open to Nuclear Deal"
Op-Ed, Iran Matters
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
"The IRGC's economic role also plays a part in explaining the organization's reactions to the nuclear deal. The IRGC is sustained not only or primarily by ideology, but by its economic and military interests, which have forced the Revolutionary Guards to balance ideology with pragmatism as those interests dictate. Though they will not tolerate aspersions on their military might, the Guards are not amateurs and are not ignorant of their military weakness relative to the United States."

"Tehran Via Tel Aviv: Annie Tracy Samuel's Academic Journey"
Newsletter Article, Belfer Center Newsletter
By Ramiro Gonzalez Lorca and Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
Research Fellow Annie Tracy Samuel's passion for the Middle East was born from a love of history. As a history major at Columbia, her coursework stoked a particular curiosity for the region. "Learning about the breakup of these multi-national, multi-ethnic empires that was going on during World War I got me very interested in other parts of the world," she said, "and particularly the period following the First World War in the Middle East." This nascent interest in the region steered her academic journey in new directions, leading to her expertise in the history and politics of the Middle East and Iran, and a fellowship with the Belfer Center.

"Viewpoint Iran: The Past and Present of the U.S.-Iran Standoff"
Journal Article, Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective, issue 1, volume 7
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
"While Americans understand relations with Iran in terms of its nuclear program and incendiary anti-Israel homilies, Iranians see the relationship as part of a long and troubling history of foreign intervention and exploitation that reaches back into the nineteenth century. Iranian leaders argue that if interactions between Iran and the United States are to improve, this history will have to be addressed and rectified."

"Attacking Iran: Lessons from the Iran-Iraq War Part 2"
Op-Ed, Fair Observer
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
"Like the 1980 Iraqi invasion, an attack will be viewed in Iran as part of a pattern of Western subversion and aggression that links together British and Russian economic exploitation, occupation during World War II, the coup that overthrew Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq in 1953, and years of support for the Shah's repressive regime. For those in Iran who question the standard narrative of concerted and constant Western aggression, an attack on Iranian territory will dispel any doubt and engender the next generations of Iranians who subscribe to that view."

"Attacking Iran: Lessons from the Iran-Iraq War Part 1"
Op-Ed, Fair Observer
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
"While the regime may increase its strength in the wake of an attack, it may also be able to capitalize on an attack to eliminate its internal enemies. That is precisely what happened following the 1980 Iraqi invasion. Ayatollah Khomeini and his allies used the war to strengthen their control over the state along the war-making state-making nexus, following the pattern of revolutionary elites in other countries. Their main rival for power within the Islamic Republic was the secular leaning constituency led by President Abolhassan Banisadr, who had tried to gain the support of the regular armed forces and to steer the war effort in his role as commander in chief. To minimize Banisadr's power, Khomeini sent his own representatives to oversee the armed forces, which eroded their support for the president, and built up a competing powerbase in the IRGC."

"The Syrian Uprising: The View from Tehran"
Journal Article, Tel Aviv Notes, issue 12, volume 6
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
"Though the inconsistency of Iranian support for popular protest everywhere but Syria (and Iran itself) is apparent, it is hardly remarkable. Throughout the last 18 months of tumultuous events in the region, governments have struggled to calibrate their interests and align them with the values and beliefs used to justify their actions."

"Perceptions and Narratives of Security: The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps and the Iran-Iraq War"
Discussion Paper
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
This paper explores the importance of the Iran-Iraq War for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) by analyzing how the Guards have used the war to present their positions on Iran's national security.

"Why Negotiating with Iran is Israel's Best Strategy"
Op-Ed, GlobalPost
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
"...[S]anctions and threats are strengthening the power of Iranian hardliners and the Revolutionary Guards, the forces that present the gravest danger to Israel. A policy that is centered on pressure will increase the likelihood that Iran will decide it needs a nuclear weapon and that it cannot reduce its enmity toward Israel and the United States. Such a policy will likely make Israel less secure."

"Ask the Experts: What Would Iran Do With a Bomb?"
Op-Ed, Politics, Power, and Preventive Action, A Council on Foreign Relations Blog
By Micah Zenko, Former Research Assistant to Graham Allison, 20032006; Former Research Associate, Project on Managing The Atom, 20062008, Kyle Beardsley, Sarah Kreps, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 20072008, Matthew Kroenig, Former Research Fellow, Project on Managing the Atom/International Security Program, 20072008, Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program and Todd Sechser, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 20042006
"Iran's leaders, like those in other states, want to remain in power. They want the regime in which they have invested and which serves their interests to endure. Foreign policy, in addition to safeguarding Iran's borders and national integrity, is a means for safeguarding the regime. Possession of a nuclear weapon will likely make Iran more impervious to attack and may make Iran bolder in its support for armed groups. However, possessing a nuclear weapon will is not likely to alter Iran's paramount foreign policy goals of national and regime security."

"Attacking Iran: Lessons from the Iran-Iraq War"
Policy Brief
By Annie Tracy Samuel, Associate, International Security Program
This policy brief seeks to contribute to and inform the debate concerning a possible attack by the United States and/or Israel on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. The presumed aim of such an attack would be to weaken the Islamic Republic, particularly by hindering its ability to build a nuclear weapon. However, the history of the Iraqi invasion of Iran in September 1980 calls into question the contention that an attack will weaken the regime in Tehran. This policy brief examines Iran's reactions to the Iraqi invasion in order to shed light on Iran's possible reactions to a U.S. or Israeli attack.

Hi all,
Otherwise I can turn off/remove the Javascript but then Im relying on the server side validation to kick in, which is the incorrect way of going about it, as its an unneccessary work load for the server to cope with.
Any thoughts/comments would be well appreciated
Javascript in form will not work in IE 8 or below.
Also just found that the title attribute doesnt seen to be working in IE 8 and below aswell, I have tried moving the attribute from in 1 example the  tag to the

Hi Paul,
Ive just commented out the map as seen below, and yes the page is not looking pretty, but the Javascript is still not working when I click the submit button when all input fields are empty. I take it from your comment saying you managed to achieve the form being sent once the map was removed, have I obviously done something wrong with my commenting out ?

The Hilton Arc de Triomphe is a beautiful, centrally located hotel in Paris with very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute. My only criticism is that Wi-Fi/network access was not free and the cost was quite expensive. For the price we paid, it should've been an amenity not an à la cart item. Don't miss the cool digital video show that takes place in their garden each night!

We expected a room with a double bed. At the class room we booked hotel said they had only twin bed rooms left. We were celebrating our anniversary and having a room with two twin beds unacceptable. Hotel was inflexible. Suggested pushing beds together.Hotel is a few blocks from the Gare Montparnasse train station which made a day trip to Chartres very convenient. The station also had friendly English speaking cashiers who helped us make reservations for travel from other stations such as Gare Saint Lazarre. Loved shopping at the nearby Monoprix and picking up pastries at Paul's or Eric Kaysers. Also, the Air France bus 4 to CDG stops less than a block from the hotel

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua fans are still in shock over his first round submission loss to Chael Sonnen at UFC Fight Night 26 and his brother Murilo "Ninja" Rua is no exception. Ninja talked to MMA Fighting's Guilherme Cruz and had some insights into what went wrong for his brother:
"I was surprised. In my opinion, Mauricio played the wrong game. He should've moved more to avoid the takedowns. Fighting on half guard against a wrestler isn't a good strategy. He should have brought Chael to his guard when he got taken down, tried to sweep him or land some punches. But Sonnen got his neck, unfortunately.
"My brother needs someone, he needs a head coach who can listen to," he said. "I always told him the truth no matter what, but I had issues with trainers from his camp. Maybe in the future I'll work with him again, who knows. I'll talk to him when he returns to Curitiba.
"He has a lot of shady persons around him, people trying to take advantage of him," he said. "People from his camp said I wasn't good for Mauricio because I made him nervous when I was on his corner, and he listened to that, so I decided to leave. If something is wrong I would point it out, I wouldn't just lie to please him."
Shogun has changed his training camp, coaches and management team several times since coming to the UFC in 2007. He's lost two straight for the first time in his career.

Percy Faith (April 7, 1908 – February 9, 1976) Canadian-born band-leader, orchestrator and composer, known for his lush arrangements of pop standards. He is often credited with creating the "easy listening" or "mood music" format which became staples of American popular music in the 1950s and continued well into the 1960s. Though his professional orchestra-leading career began at the height of the swing era, Faith refined and rethought orchestration techniques, including use of large string sections, to soften and fill out the brass dominated popular music of the 1940s.

Downton could end with next series
1:50pm Sunday 5th January 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has hinted that the next series of the hit show could be its last.
The ITV drama, telling the story of the aristocratic Crawley family, is set to return to television screens later this year for a fifth series, having made its debut in 2010.
But Lord Fellowes has now said in an interview that the saga will not "go on forever".
He has been commissioned to write a new American drama called The Gilded Age but told The Wall Street Journal that work on the programme would not start until Downton had come to an end.
Lord Fellowes said: "It's for NBC Universal and it will happen when Downton finishes because I just couldn't do both at once.
"I haven't written it yet, but it's about the old aristocracy, the Winthrops and the Stuyvesants and the new money of oil and gas and shipping in the 1870s. It will all be fiction - it won't be real people - but when those families descended on New York, they took over."
The writer, who is also an actor, reassured fans that there would be a fifth series of Downton but referring to a long-running US courtroom drama, added: "I don't know yet if there is a season six, but it's not going to go on forever. It won't be Perry Mason."
He also speculated that if the Crawleys had been a real family, they would have still been running the estate today - albeit in a more "businesslike" way.
He told the Wall Street Journal: "My own belief is that they would survive, but they would be living in a back wing - and you could buy a ticket to visit and they would only come out in the winter."
Downton Abbey was last seen on British screens on Christmas Day, when a special episode was broadcast showing the family visiting London for debutante Lady Rose's coming out.

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — BROWNSBURG – Despite 130 yards on 26 carries and a touchdown by Toks Akinribade, Brownsburg fell to visiting Westfield 37-13 Friday night.
"We are disappointed in a loss, whether one phase were to work or not," said Brownsburg coach Brett Comer, whose squad dropped to 1-3 on the season. "You have to play all three phases in the (Hoosier Crossroads Conference) and we were unable to do that. We have a lot of new kids playing, but it's time for them to step up and make plays and stop making excuses."
Westfield (3-1) got off to a quick start, scoring on the fourth play of the game, as Frank Grimes ran 58 yards for a touchdown.
Westfield recovered the ensuing kickoff, and followed with a 37-yard field goal to take a 10-point lead before Brownsburg even touched the ball on offense.
After a Brownsburg three-and-out, Westfield scored again on a 33-yard pass from Nick Ferrer to Davin Reece.
On the following possession, Brownsburg had its most sustained drive of the night, going 86 yards in 19 plays. However, the drive came up empty, as the Bulldogs were unable to punch it in on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line.
Westfield responded by going 93 yards on a drive capped by a Ferrer-to-Reece connection of 42 yards.
Ferrer and Reece completed the first half hat trick with a 3-yard TD with 18 seconds remaining, as Westfield took a 30-0 lead into halftime.
In the second half, Brownsburg took the ball down to the Westfield 4-yard line, before Turner Edwards intercepted a Hunter Johnson pass and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown to make it 37-0.
"(The red zone defense was) huge," Westfield coach Jake Gilbert said. "We work it like crazy, but this was the first week that I felt like we really made plays down there. We stuffed them once and got a 100-yard interception return. The red zone was why we lost last week and arguably why we won this week."
Brownsburg eventually got on the board with a 47-yard touchdown run by Akinribade. Devonte Allen also scored on a 6-yard run with just under four minutes remaining in the game.
"It was nice to score touchdowns because it has been a little while," Comer said. "It was nice to see our guys move up and down the field."
Brownsburg will look to rebound when they battle rival Avon next Friday night.

Many look at Juan Pablo Montoya as one of the most skilled road course racers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, but neither Kasey Kahne nor Brad Keselowski would likely agree following Sunday's race at Infineon Raceway.
After Montoya pitted late in the going for tires and fuel, the former Sonoma winner was mired mid-pack and eager to race his way back to the front. In doing so, Montoya utilized his bumper on more than one occasion, beating and banging his way through the field.
With less than 15 laps to go, Montoya was racing hard with Kahne for the fourth spot. Kahne was able to pull ahead of Montoya's No. 42 heading up the hill into Turn 2, but Montoya drove into the side of the No. 4 Toyota and sent Kahne back to the 22nd spot.
"Montoya just drove through me at the top of the hill, that's just obvious," Kahne said. "Last year when (the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing) cars were really, really good and Jamie McMurray was the man, Juan still couldn't win a race. That shows about what he can do here in NASCAR anyways."
Kahne said he gave Montoya plenty of room going into the corner and was simply hit from behind.
"He got mad probably because I beat him into Turn 1 when he was beside me off of (Turn) 11, so he just got mad and wrecked me into (Turn) 2," he said. "That's why he got mad – he didn't get mad because I didn't give him any room."
Just a handful of laps later, Montoya battled Keselowski for the fifth spot with seven laps to go. As Montoya made the move around the No. 2 Dodge, Keselowski hooked Montoya and sent him spinning. The incident sent Montoya back to the 12th spot.
"We (went) through the corner and I just got on his bumper a little bit and moved him a little," Montoya said. "Got a good run and I guess he didn't like it. I mean, it is just hard to run with people who have never run well on road courses or have no experience at it. It cost us a ton of points today."
Keselowski said he didn't take pride in taking Montoya out, but felt it was a necessary evil given the circumstances.
"It's eat or be eaten sometimes on these road courses, and when that guy behind you opens his mouth and is about to put you down his throat, you better make a move," he said. "(It is) nothing I take pride in, but more or less survival more than anything else."
Keselowski said based on how Montoya raced him earlier in the race, combined with the incident with Kahne just laps prior, led him to believe he was about to be wrecked.
"The body language of Juan's car said he was going to wreck me," Keselowski said. "I just made sure that didn't happen."
Montoya said the incidents stemmed from people not giving him enough room and believing they know how to race on road courses when they actually don't.
"I got beside (Kahne) and he knocked me a couple of times, and they just don't give me any room so it was hard," Montoya said. "The No. 2, I got on his bumper moved him a little bit, got beside him and passed him and he just plain and simple wrecked us.
"It's hard when people don't know how to race on road courses and think they do. It's OK."

The B-list Bargain Bin Begins...
June 7, 2010 | Posted By: B list Bargain Bin Crew
Everyone knows the infamous bargain bin that used to have piles of VHS movies with cheesy artwork and battered cases. Now, we've upgraded! It's cheap plastic cases with cheesy rip-off titles of Hollywood movies. Instead of the back of a video store, they're front and center, next to the check-out lines of most stores. Still, the cheesiness lingers, ever calling for a quick rifle to the bottom of the bin.
Richard Pulfer and B. Alexander care about these bargain bins and all they offer. It is not just for a love of movies that one hand dips in and then the other follows, scrapping the bottom for a true gem. No, it is for the discovery of something unheard of or vaguely remembered.
After all, who cared enough to put these movies out on DVD in the first, with special features? Some movie, ashamed to be listed on someone's IMDB credits, was given a 16:9 ratio transfer and a gag reel! For this reason alone, it surely should be bought! But, at what price?
That is why there is the B-List Bargain Bin! Not only to be written in the third person, but to debate the merits of releases, the cost of ownership and whether that director's commentary is worth spending $7.99 on!
We plan on releasing an update every Tuesday, which includes 3 to 5 movies we've picked and an explanation of why it was selected. It must meet the criteria of price (taking into account shipping, bundling movies together for free shipping, etc), the extras or lack there of, cover art, cheesiness, if we've seen it or even heard of it, and finally back again to the price. $9.99 for a movie we kind of sort of remember from cable might not be worth it. However, a $7.79 purchase for Ringo Star in Caveman just might be.
Also, keeping in spirit with saving even more money, if there is FatWallet Cash Back available at the merchant we found the deal at, we'll be sure to let you know.
With that in mind, see you next Tuesday!
Richard Pulfer and B. Alexander

An old landmark is back, in a way; in a 'small' way. The huge 'Red Barn' at Rolling Fork collapsed a couple of years ago. A new miniature version was unveiled this week at the Sharkey County courthouse, but the original building will be missed for a long time to come.
The Red Barn stood on Highway 61, just south of Rolling Fork. It was 2/3rds the length of a football field.
One spring morning a couple of years ago, it "laid down" as its collapse has been described. Today, the silos are the only reminder it ever stood there.
The barn was built by Bernard Graft in 1918 and, needless to say, it had become a landmark in Sharkey County; indispensable as a guidance tool according to Sharkey County Board of Supervisors President Bill Newsom.
"It's a place we gave directions off of each and every day," said Newsom.
"Well when you get to the red barn if you just take a left, or when you pass the red barn...," said Sharkey County Circuit and Chancery Clerk Marinda Williams. "So, it's been a sense of direction for us in this community for forever, forever."
Williams and was one of the participants in a ceremony at the court house in Rolling Fork this week, as a scale model of the beloved old Red Barn was unveiled.
Jackson miniature maker and member of the Mississippi Craftsman Guild, Billy Jones, was commissioned by Ben Lamensdorf of Rolling Fork to build the model for the community.
Ben says everybody in the county related to the Red Barn in some way, and the spirit of it needed to be preserved.
"I don't know, anything that pulls people together helps," said Lamensdorf.
Baskin Perry was one of the first people to see the collapsed barn that day. He used to play in it when he was a child. A neighbor called him and told him the barn had fallen in.
"Well, we went down there and that's when the memories started coming back about the years-past when you spent so much time," said Perry.
"The model itself is an exact replica to scale of the old barn, down to the number of doors and windows. It's even made from wood salvaged from the barn. It took Billy Jones several months to complete it.
"I really like Mr. Lamensdorf and wanted to do a good job for him," said Jones.
It is a little bit of history, remarkably preserved. To people coming along it will be just a representation of a grand old structure that used to be here at Rolling Fork.
But to those people who grew up with it, this model is a representation of something that will always be within them, in their hearts even.

Katherine (Kaddy) Anne Stouder, 84, passed away Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013, at Harbour Assisted Living of Fort Wayne.
Kaddy was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. She joined the Navy in 1950. While she was stationed in Alameda, Calif., she met and married Harley Noel Stouder from Fort Wayne, Ind. Even though she spent 60 plus years in Fort Wayne, raising a large family there, she still always referred to returning to her Brooklyn, N.Y. "home."
Over the years, she was a dedicated Democratic precinct Committee person in southeast Fort Wayne, busily knocking on doors and registering voters and working the polling places on election days, keeping poll lists and turning out the vote. She also was a tireless volunteer at John S. Irwin School, at various times as a room mother, a PTA volunteers, and as a classroom assistant. In more recent years, she worked as a volunteer at the Embassy Theater.
She enjoyed her monthly games of bridge with her friends, and she was a voracious reader, who seemed to know everything; and wondered how a person could possibly not know whatever particular thing arose in a given conversation.
She is survived by Fran Neary, Wayne, Pa., sister; Gregg (Deb) Stouder, son, Fort Wayne; Todd Stouder, son, Fort Wayne; Alan (Ruth) Stouder, son, Pioneer, Ohio; Brian (Pam) Stouder, son, Fort Wayne; Jason Stouder, son, Fort Wayne; Emily (Marty) D'Amico, granddaughter, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Tyler (Danielle) Stouder, grandson, New York, N.Y.; Matt (Brittney) Stouder, grandson, Fort Wayne; Grant Stouder, grandson, Fort Wayne; Shelby and Chloe Stouder, granddaughters, Fort Wayne; Skylar and Bristyn Stouder, great-granddaughters, Fort Wayne.
Generally, she was referred to by one and all as "the Queen Mother" – a title which seemed to fit.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 31 years, Harley Noel Stouder, her brothers Marty and Rocky, and her parents.
Calling from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at D.O. McComb and Sons Lakeside Park Funeral Home, 1140 Lake Ave., and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Memorials may be made to the Southern Care Hospice. To sign the online guestbook, go to www.mccombandsons.com.

Team Canada desperately needs to get rounding into form, and Slovakia may provide the combination of a weak enough team that there isn't much danger, and the offensive ability to burn them if they play sloppy.
The player to watch on the Slovakian team is pint sized Montreal Canadiens prospect Martin Reway (#10), who has 6 points already in just two games.
Trying to stop him will be fellow Habs prospect Zachary Fucale, who will get his first start for Canada at the World Juniors, and hopefully provide superior goaltending to what they've received from Jake Paterson.
Make sure to also keep an eye on Charles Hudon (#10), who was one of Canada's best players in the loss against the Czechs, and should have secured his spot on the top line with Jonathan Drouin and Anthony Mantha.
The game starts at 11am EST on TSN.

Arrest made in rape case
3:15pm Thursday 9th January 2014 in News By Beren Cross, @BerenCross
AVON and Somerset Police has ended its pursuit of two men, believed to be from Swindon, after an arrest was made in connection with a Bristol rape investigation.
A 27-year-old man from the Salisbury area, who is believed to be one of the men released in CCTV images yesterday, has been arrested and bailed until March 21.
The force had put out an appeal for information on two men it believed to be from Swindon yesterday, though this has now been concluded with the arrest.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the rape of a woman in Bristol last month.
"The arrest resulted from a phone call we received yesterday, following an appeal for information.
"A 24-year-old woman was seriously sexually assaulted in the St Michael's Park, Clifton and close to Alfred Place, Kingsdown, in the early hours of Sunday, December 15.
"The man, who is from the Salisbury area of Wiltshire, has been interviewed and released on bail until March 21."

SALISBURY In recent days and perhaps for the first time in her life someone outside her family is paying attention to Erica Parsons.
In 2011, her adoptive parents claim she went to live with her grandmother. Nobody has heard from her since.
Relatives who found Ericas absence odd never bothered to alert authorities.
No favorite teacher intervened because Erica was home-schooled.
No Facebook friend grew suspicious because Erica, at times reclusive, didnt have an account.
None of the government agencies that could have acted in the childs behalf appears to have broken any rules. Erica shows up as a name on an adoption decree. She turns up again on a long-ago child-abuse complaint that closed with no charges being filed.
In a widely distributed photograph from 2010, Erica stands before a family Christmas tree, her expression blank.
But now, six months shy of what would be her 16th birthday, Erica has become the subject of a widening hunt by Rowan County, the state and the FBI. Her story has dominated TV news and is about to debut on a nationwide talk show.
Foul play is suspected. No charges have been filed.
Investigators say the childs adoptive parents, Casey and Sandy Parsons, arent cooperating.
They have been called to court to face an allegation that a juvenile in their care has been abused or neglected. Its unclear whether that charge involves Erica, whom the Parsons say they dropped off in Asheville around Christmas 2011 to live with her biological grandmother, Irene Goodman.
But according to search warrants in the case, the Parsons werent able to provide contact information for Goodman. An Observer search of public records found no Irene Goodman within 50 miles of Asheville.
Ericas biological mother says on her Facebook page that Erica has no family in Asheville.
Casey and Sandy Parsons attorney, Carlyle Sherrill of Salisbury, said Saturday that the couples court date on the abuse allegation has not been set. He said their other minor-aged children have been placed with Caseys mother.
Meanwhile the swirl surrounding Ericas disappearance continues to grow. For much of her life, the childs world appears to have been a narrow and private one. Small for her age and quiet, she was born to a mother who couldnt support her and a father with a long criminal record.
By age 2, she had been adopted into another side of her fractured family. A short time later she went to live with another relative after Casey, her new mom, told family members she couldnt stand to look at the child, according to search warrants in the case.
After eight months Erica was taken back by Casey and Sandy Parsons only because they were afraid of losing the state check they received each month for Erica, the warrants say. Those payments which would be at least $634 a month for a child Ericas age are reserved for adoptive parents of special needs children.
The parents kept collecting the check, even after their daughter no longer lived with them, because they expected Erica to come home at anytime, their lawyer says. In doing so, investigators say, the Parsons may have committed a crime.
Once Erica was reported missing, her relatives stepped forward to describe the Parsons household as violent and abusive. They say the child often displayed bruises and lumps that Casey blamed on Ericas siblings, warrants say. Family members have since told investigators that Casey beat her daughter regularly.
Late last month, perhaps due to a family dispute, Ericas stepbrother James filed a missing persons report.
During a search of the home Wednesday, investigators took pieces of wall and flooring they believe could contain blood stains and collected two knives wrapped in shrink wrap.
They also seized books and magazines about JonBenet Ramsey, a child beauty queen found murdered in her Colorado home in 1996.
This week, much of the country will have the chance to catch up with Ericas case.
The syndicated TV show Dr. Phil will spend its Tuesday and Wednesday episodes on her disappearance.
The title: Missing or Murdered: Where Is 15-Year-Old Erica?
According to the advance publicity, Dr. Phil will be interviewing her adoptive parents.
All in the family
Erica was born Feb. 24, 1998, a happy baby, says Crystal Owensby, who was being raised by Ericas biological mother, Carolyn Parsons.
Owensby, 25, says Carolyn didnt have the money to keep Erica, but was never at peace about giving her up. Now, with Erica missing, shes heartbroken about the decision.
It bothered her every day, Owensby said. She feels maybe if she had kept her, this wouldve never happened. She blames herself.
On her Facebook page, Carolyn Parsons wrote: I nor her dad have no clue where she is and we love her and want to find her and know she is safe.
Carolyn Parsons did not return Observer phone calls for comment. She had been married to Sandy Parsons brother, and records show that Casey and Sandy took custody of Erica a few months shy of her second birthday.
Mecklenburg County Superior Court Judge Lisa Bell says adoption placements within the same family normally take less time and often are seen as being in the best interests of the child.
Cabarrus County approved Ericas adoption on March 23, 2000, finding that Casey and Sandy Parsons were fit to have the care and custody of said child.
That designation took place despite Sandys two convictions in the 1990s for assaulting Casey. According to court records, the second incident took place in 1997, two years before the couple took custody of Erica.
A spokeswoman for Cabarrus County Department of Social Services said officials cannot discuss the specifics of Ericas case because adoption records are legally sealed.
But in response to a list of submitted questions, Cheryl Harris, the countys administrator for child welfare, said domestic violence cases involving parents who want to adopt are thoroughly investigated.
The analysis is centered on an evaluation of the future risk to the child, Harris said.
In such households, no follow-up visits to check on the childs safety occur unless ordered by the court, she said.
Nor do her caseworkers check to see how special-needs money paid to families each month is spent. The state and federal rules operating the program dont require such oversight, Harris said, once a family qualifies for the aid.
Erica never attended the Rowan-Salisbury Public Schools, a school district official says.
Instead, she was taught at the Parsons Christian School, a home-school started by Casey Parsons in 2005 when Erica was 7, according to state records.
The state doesnt do background checks on home-school administrators, and Casey never filed reports on the progress of her students, known only in state records as three females and one male.
Chris Mears, a spokesman for the state Department of Non-Public Education, said Casey Parsons never met with state officials during regional home-school visits, nor did she ever update her school information, which home-schools are urged but not required to do each year.
Casey Parsons also did not file the scores on the annual achievement test the students were required to take.
In fact, Mears said, the state has no way of knowing whether the Parsons Christian School still exists.
In the corner
Erica grew up in a household where violence was apparently common.
James Parsons, the stepbrother who first reported her disappearance in late July, has been accused of assaulting his mother, siblings, even one of the familys dogs.
Family members have told investigators that Erica was often in trouble with her parents.
Every time I saw that girl she was on some type of punishment, said one relative, who asked not to be named because authorities had told him not to talk with the media.
The last time the two ran into each other, She said she couldnt talk to me. She had to sit in the corner.
Sherrill, the parents attorney, said his clients have been reported for child-abuse before.
Theyve had the children strip-searched because there were allegations of bruises, and those allegations were totally false, he said.
In 2002, when Erica was 4, her parents signed an agreement with a Michigan couple for Casey to carry their unborn son. Court records dont indicate if the Parsons were paid.
Around that same time, someone in Ericas family called Rowan County, claiming that the child was being abused.
Erica, according to a report by WSOC-TV, displayed marks on her rear and legs, and several on her face.
A caseworker from the countys Department of Social Services visited the home. No charges were filed. The caseworker said there were no signs of cuts or bruises and Erica showed no fear of her parents, going up and sitting on each of their laps without being asked, according to documents cited in the stations report.
Officials with the Rowan County DSS said they could not comment on Ericas case.
Charlotte attorney Valerie Pearce, a child-welfare specialist, said whats described in the report is known as a family assessment.
The goal, Pearce said, is not necessarily to thoroughly investigate a child-abuse complaint, but to sit down with the entire family and say, What can we do to help? What do yall need to be a better family?
The motivation behind such visits: Keep children in the home unless there are clear signs of abuse, Pearce said.
Child advocates say that the new nonadversarial approach, which Pearce DSS adopted statewide about a year before the 2002 visit to the Parsons home, carries significant risks.
Some of the older social workers really dont like it because they know the kids arent going to talk with mom and dad sitting there, Pearce said.
A lot of child advocates dont like it either. A lot of child fatalities are occurring in this state because someone didnt pick up on something.
Erica and Zahra
A little more than a year before her parents say Erica went to live with her grandmother, Zahra Bakers family in Hickory reported that she had disappeared.
Both girls were small for their age. Both were home-schooled. Both were raised by adoptive or stepmothers who were described as abusive and neglectful after their daughters disappeared.
After a month-long search that drew worldwide coverage, police found Zahras dismembered remains. Elisa Baker, Zahras stepmother, pleaded guilty to her death.
Aleia Burwell, the victims services coordinator for the Hickory Police Department, was sent to the Baker home to support Zahras father and stepmother after the girl was reported missing.
She said the case taught her that people who suspect abuse have to speak up.
Its really unfortunate, Burwell said of Ericas disappearance. We all hope for the best. We hope the Zahra Baker case is one of those thats one in a million and wont happen again.
... Thats why it is so important to report these things, because a lot of time these children dont have a voice.
Bell said the focus in cases such as these should not be solely on any rips in the government safety net but on the failure of the families to act.
Most of the time when a child disappears for two days, much less two years, the people most likely to raise an alarm are the family, said the judge, herself an adoptive mother.
In the past five to 10 years, Pearce says shes seen a surge of parents who have come back to court to turn in their adopted children. Like its Walmart, she said. It just drives me crazy.
Bell, the Mecklenburg judge, has watched similar situations from her seat on the bench.
In the end, she said, maybe one of the child-protective systems biggest weaknesses is what at times is an unwarranted expectation for parents to act like parents, and families like families.

Gavin Floyd last started a game for the White Sox on July 7. He developed some discomfort in his throwing elbow, and he had his next start pushed back, although an MRI came back clean. It didn't look like Floyd would need to go on the disabled list, as nothing serious appeared to be wrong.
Floyd's now going on the disabled list anyway, to make roster room for Philip Humber, who's back from injury.
The #WhiteSox placed RHP Gavin Floyd on the 15-day DL (retroactive to July 8) with right elbow tendinitis— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) July 17, 2012
This being retroactive to July 8 means Floyd is eligible to return next week. Which means Floyd doesn't stand to miss much more time, provided he feels good and strong. The White Sox are in first place in the AL Central, so they have ground to give, but the Tigers are playing better, so it's not like the White Sox want their players going on the DL all willy-nilly.
Floyd's never before been placed on the DL. There was a time this season that he looked like a mess, as his ERA stood at 5.63 on June 14. But it's down to 4.54, and his peripherals are about as good as ever. A healthy Gavin Floyd could and would be important for the White Sox down the stretch.

Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) is a nucleoprotein that contains RNA, i.e. it is an association that combines ribonucleic acid and protein together. A few known examples include the ribosome, the enzyme telomerase, vault ribonucleoproteins, RNase P, hnRNP and small nuclear RNPs (snRNPs), which are implicated in pre-mRNA splicing (spliceosome) and are among the main components of the nucleolus. 'RNP' can also refer to ribonucleoprotein particles, distinct intracellular foci for post-transcriptional regulation.
RNP in snRNPs has an RNA-binding motif in its RNA-binding protein. Aromatic amino acid residues in this motif result in stacking interactions with RNA. Lysine residues in the helical portion of RNA-binding proteins help to stabilize interactions with nucleic acids. This nucleic acid binding is strengthened by electrostatic attraction between the positive lysine side chains and the negative nucleic acid phosphate backbones.
RNPs play an important role in influenza A virus replication. The viral RNA is transcribed into mRNAs by the RNA polymerase attached to the RNPs.
Anti-RNP antibodies[edit]
Anti-RNP antibodies are autoantibodies associated with mixed connective tissue disease and are also detected in nearly 40% of Lupus erythematosus patients. Two types of anti-RNP antibodies are closely related to Sjögren's syndrome: SS-A (Ro) and SS-B (La).
List of RNPs[edit]
This is a (partial) list of ribonucleoprotein families:
- hnRNP
- Ribosome
- snRNP
- Signal recognition particle (a protein coated ribozyme)
- Telomerase

DOVER, Del. - Dover Police stopped what appeared to be an armed robbery in progress on Sunday. They say that a K-9 officer was downtown, when he heard someone screaming. As the officer drove towards the sound they found a person being chased by two suspects on South Governors Avenue. The suspects apparently saw the officer, and fled into a waiting vehicle.
The officer reportedly chased the vehicle onto S. New Street, where it pulled over. Police took three suspects into custody, along with a small caliber handgun and three bandanas.
An investigation showed that two of the suspects used the bandanas to cover their faces, while they demanded money from the victim while holding the handgun. The third reportedly waited in the vehicle to drive them from the scene. Police say the victim ran when he saw the police car.
Delvon Henry, 20, of Chestertown, MD and David Somerville, 20, of Millington, MD are being held at JVCC on $20,400 bond, the third suspect, Tyrone Sisco, 20, of Chestertown, MD, was released after posting his bond. All three are charged with 1st degree robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, carrying concealed deadly weapon, wearing a disguise during a felony, 2nd degree conspiracy, and underage consumption of alcohol.

TIPTON, Okla_A Southwest Oklahoma girl has hit it big at the biggest junior livestock show in the nation.
Tipton High School junior, Destinee Johnson, made history last week when she won the grand prize with both her lamb and goat at the Oklahoma Youth Expo in Oklahoma City. She's the first competitor to ever take both titles at once, and she's still in shock.
Destinee Johnson is kind of a big deal in, Tipton, Oklahoma.
"I came home, and you know my name was downtown, and it was just the coolest thing ever. I never expected it to happen, ever in a million years. It's awesome, "said Johnson.
After a big win like this she's stopping to think how she got started in this world of showing animals.
"I wanted a horse from the time I was like 2 you know because they're so cool. My dad said I'm gonna get you these goats and you're going to show them and take care of them and feed them and raise them. If you take care of those responsibilities I'll get you a horse, " Johnson explained.
And now, 7 years later, she's a two time Grand Champion at the biggest youth expo in the world. That's a feat no one has ever achieved before her.
"When you win like that it makes you actually stop and think you know I complained for a lot of nothing. After that it makes think next year now that I've done this I'll work ten times harder because I had the opportunity to do such a good job, " Johnson said.
She raised her two animals from the time they were babies. A lamb named Yoda and a goat named Patrick. Both have been purchased, and now she has to move on with new animals.
She said it's a lot of work to start from the ground up, but it's the name of the game.
"It's a ridiculous amount of work and a lot of hours but in the end, even if you don't win everything, in the end its still its worth it, " Johnson said.
Destinee is a senior next year. She's not sure how she'll top this season, but she said she'll just keep doing things her way because so far, that's worked out pretty well.
"You gotta be able to have fun and work hard at the same time or it's just boring, " said Johnson.
And as for that horse she wanted?
Well, she never got it, but she said that's okay! Because after all the other animals she looks after it would really just be added work.
Destinee does get some time off. She said she's got 3 weeks of down time until she starts grooming her new sheep for next year's competitions.
Along with bragging rights, Destinee won two trailers for a year and $25,000. She plans to put that money toward more animals, a car and a savings account.

Ok, so does anyone have any experience with getting used equipment from them. I hesitate because rented stuff (e.g., cars) are usually not treated all that well, so what you usually get is some very beat up equipment that won't last as long. I was hoping to get some feedback from the community as to whether this is an acceptable way of getting good equipment a little cheaper.
I have rented lenses from Lens Rentals 5 or 6 times, and a camera once. Each and every time the equipment I received was in good working order, and that is the same equipment you are buying.
I know they test each lens after every rental, and keep things maintained, sending lenses to Canon for repair if needed. They aren't dumping junk, the lenses they sell are in good shape.
I purchased a 70-200 f/2.8 IS from them and had no problems. They do offer a 3 day inspection period with no questions asked return - but you don't get reimbursed for the shipping. Also, they warranty the lens for 90 days. So there is very little risk.
The company is honest and excellent to work with. They will answer any questions about the history of a specific lens. They told me the one I bought had been to Canon to fix an AF problem, so I knew what I was getting.
I don't think their normal used prices are much better than you would get elsewhere, but at least you know you are buying from a company that will stand behind their product and will want to make things right if there is an issue. With the 10% off Black Friday sale, I think their used stuff is a good deal.
If they have something you need or want, I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them.
I know this sounds like a comercial, but there aren't many companies that treat the customer the way they do.

Late Wednesday night, reports emerged that the Chicago Cubs had offered their vacant managerial position to Dale Sveum. Sveum was considered a candidate with both the Cubs and the Boston Red Sox, but on Thursday, word's out now that he has accepted the offer from Chicago.
Sveum will be formally introduced at a Friday press conference at Wrigley Field. The first order of business will be explaining to people that the V sounds like a W, so, no, his name is not pronounced how you want to pronounce it. Not all V's sound like W's - if they did, we wouldn't need V's - but this V does, and it might take some getting used to. It took me some getting used to, and I assume everybody is the way that I am.
Sveum had most recently been serving as the batting coach for the Milwaukee Brewers. He managed the Brewers for 12 games in 2008 after Ned Yost went away and went 7-5 for a winning percentage of .583. That is a fantastic winning percentage, so it's obvious to see why Sveum was so highly desired. The Cubs have finished with a winning percentage at least that high just once since 1945. He will get them turned around for sure!
How will Sveum do as the Cubs' next manager? No idea. Absolutely no idea. Even after he's been managing there for a while, we'll have no good idea how he's doing. Managers. So tricky.
Sveum gets a three-year contract, with an option. He could still be fired at any point. Conceivably even tomorrow. That would be weird.

You may have noticed that the East Coast has been slammed by Mother Nature recently. We've seen an earthquake, a hurricane, and more than our fair share of rain and wind these past few weeks. If we could ship some of it to East Texas, we would, but for some reason the skies wanted to wash out half the roads in New England and leave Texas to burn.
One effect of all this geologic and atmospheric turmoil is that maintaining a stable data center becomes quite the challenge. Power and data connection failures make it nearly impossible to ensure full uptime, and if the weather is bad enough, operations personnel may need to stay home.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Read Paul Venezia's classic, "Nine traits of the veteran Unix admin." | Or see if you qualify for the title of certified IT ninja. ]
Under these circumstances, if the data center is not providing 24/7/365 facilities (such as hosting or colocation), it may be the better part of valor to power down the whole thing before the storm and the inevitable electrical and data loss. I realize many will recoil from this idea. But there's merit to it, especially if the cataclysm is expected to hit during the weekend.
Even in large corporations, weekend resource utilization is relatively low. Assuming that the public presence is hosted elsewhere, internal services are generally consumed by folks checking email -- or those with a crushing deadline, no social lives, or both. On a weekend when a large hurricane is bearing down on the area, it's safe to say overall data center utilization will be even lower.
But what about potential damage to servers and storage, you ask? It's true: Even with beefy UPS and generator backup, there can be problems with, say, climate control units that poke through to the roof and expose themselves to damage. Plus, downed communication lines mean that unless the facility is manned throughout the outage, admins can't get into the site remotely to check on things or even to organize a post-power-loss shutdown. Your decision depends on the details of your facility, but people's safety always comes first, so you may not have a choice.

Tag: Mississippi
National insurance for natural disasters?
- 3:56 pm Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 by Opinion Staff
Tornadoes across the South. Floods along the Mississippi. Ravaging winter storms. Are those enough to persuade Congress that we need a national plan for massive natural disasters?
Apparently not. No bills of any consequence have been filed, though U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta, is touting three pieces of legislation that would provide tax credits for homeowners and insurance companies. Those are barely baby steps. The free-market, what's-in-it-for-me Congress refuses to see that some perils are insurable. The reluctance is all the more maddening because former Rep. Ron Klein showed in his legislation how a national plan would work, and why it wouldn't be a "bailout," and because Congress already has a program for the uninsurable peril of terrorism.

Smith, Dorn lead East girls, boys to sweep of Bearcats
Fri. December 07, 2012 at 11:15 p.m. | By Brittany Jackson

EAST FLAT ROCK — For the first time in a long time the East Henderson varsity basketball program can say it swept visiting Hendersonville.
Stephanie Smith's 21 points led the way for the girls in the opener (44-19, East), and Brandon Dorn's 27 points in the nightcap surged East's boys to the 62-47 dominant second-half win over the Bearcats Friday night.
"This was a big, big win for us; it's a win for the seniors. They wanted it," said East boys coach Bruce Gilliam on East's first win of the season. "Brandon Dorn played a heck of a game, as did Steffon Hill. Tyler Sexton gave us a confidence on the floor that spilled over to the whole team. His presence on the floor makes us a better basketball team."
The Bearcats (2-1) jumped out to the 9-3 lead behind two 3-pointers from Rishad Felton (19 points, five steals) to start the game. East caught up and took a 10-9 lead on an assist from Dorn to Sexton inside, but East had a hard time handling Hendersonville's press and gave up a 20-12 lead to HHS at the end of the first.
The Eagles (1-2) didn't quite overcome the deficit by halftime but kept it close at 30-23.
"We tried to dribble through their traps in the first half but needed to pass, and we did that in the second half," Gilliam said. "I've coached these kids before (at Flat Rock Elementary) and I knew their heart, that they had it in them. I told them the first three minutes of the second half would determine the game."
And he turned out to be right. The Eagles' 23-4 third-quarter run made the difference.
Travis Smith got things going with a long jumper, and Dorn and Zack Oberlies spouted off back-to-back 3s to take the 31-30 lead. Hill came up with four of his eight total steals in the third quarter — four steals that each produced two points.
"Steffon put pressure on my guards and they turned the ball over; his defense changed a lot of what we did in the third quarter," said HHS boys coach Marvin Featherstone. "This game will be an eye opener. We've been the big dogs in the county but we've got to come to play four quarters. We played two quarters (Friday night) and East played four."
That defense produced the Eagles' offense and the pattern continued into the fourth quarter. Hendersonville never regained composure, and Dorn's nine free throws down the stretch sealed the deal.
Sexton, back for the Eagles after nursing an ankle sprain from a Nov. 15 scrimmage, had a double-double (13 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks). Hill had 12 points and five rebounds to add to his eight steals, and Dorn also had six assists and four rebounds.
Cody Westmoreland had a huge night rebounding, with 19, and 12 points. Kaleb Schuller added six points and Bradley Schmidt had five.
The injury-clad Lady Bearcats (0-3) had several JV players on the court in the 44-19 loss.
Smith, who starts alongside two freshmen and two sophomores, shot 75 percent from the floor and 50 percent from beyond the arc. She had three steals and four rebounds. Tristen McCrary (five rebounds, three steals) and Bailey Yoder each had seven points for the Lady Eagles (1-2).
"I was really pleased with our offensive side of the ball; we shot 34 percent tonight versus just 15 percent against Polk on Tuesday. This is also one of the best defensive teams I've had in years," said East girls coach Katie Bradley. "Steph has done a phenomenal job for us; she is our senior leader."
