The man involved in a nine-hour standoff with Harrisburg police in Hall Manor shot and killed himself, Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick announced in a press conference Tuesday morning.
Abel Roman, 24, of Philadelphia, was wanted for allegedly shooting a 23-year-old man in the chest, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. The incident began around 3 p.m. yesterday when police arrived at Hall Manor to serve a warrant. The incident did not end until around 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
At 12:32 a.m., Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico wrote on Twitter that Roman was deceased.
Dozens of shots were fired during the standoff and Harrisburg police officer Kirk Aldrich was injured during the incident. He sustained an injury to the hand and is expected to make a full recovery, police said.

Jonathan Craft surrounds himself with memories of his little girl 13-month-old Veralee Craft. Craft says the Roanoke man responsible for his daughter's death is where he's suppose to be and that's behind bars.
Preston King, 28, was in a relationship with Veralee's mother at the time. He's charged with beating and shaking Craft's daughter to death.
"The last year has been really difficult for me," Jonathan Craft says. "I've gone through times where I've been sad. I've gone through times where I've been angry. Holidays are the worst."
Craft says he can now close one chapter in this devastating part of his life because King has agreed to plead guilty to first degree murder charges. Under Virginia State Code, this means he will serve anywhere from 20 years to life in prison.
"I feel like there's a little bit of justice," Craft says. "Nothing that could ever happen could bring my little girl back, but I feel like we are on the right track."
Craft says since our WSLS broadcast first aired his 'Justice for Veralee Marie Craft' Facebook page has gone from 100 to 2,000 'LIKES.'
"Even though this has happened, there's a lot of people out there who do care and who are willing to support me and it makes a difference," Craft says.
Someone has even offered to help turn 'Justice for Veralee Marie Craft' into a non-profit organization. This way Craft's efforts can continue to help C.A.S.A of Central Virginia. It's an organization that provides advocates for abused and neglected children.
"I've had strangers offer me their help and anything I need they've offered their support," Craft says.
Support Craft says is crucial in honoring his little girl.

"Why Did I Ever Marry a Cop?"
Her Turn
"Being a cop's wife means nonstop worry and tension," said Liz, 33 , a stay-at-home mother of three children ranging in age from 4 to 11. "But even worse, Nick totally shuts me and the kids out of his life. I feel like a single parent. Do you have any idea how many birthday parties, school performances and parent-teacher meetings I've attended by myself? Oh, and guess who takes the car to the shop when the engine conks out? Nick's older brother is also a cop, and my sister-in-law always says, 'This is just what it's like.' Well, maybe that works for her but it doesn't cut it for me. Either we fix this marriage or end it.
"I never thought this would happen to us. Nick and I were so in love that we finished each other's sentences. I met him when I was a freshman at a local community college and he was in his final year at the Police Academy. Our chemistry was amazing, but even then I had reservations about his being a New York City police officer. A scenario would run through my head: I'd hear a knock at the door and his captain would be there, telling me Nick had been shot. I was terrified to go down that path. But Nick was persistent and I was too crazy about him to resist. We got married right after I got my associate's degree.
"My imagination went haywire once we had kids. I'd be bathing the baby and I'd picture him getting shot by someone he'd pulled over for speeding, or killed in a domestic call gone bad. Basically, you can't watch cop shows on television if you're married to a law enforcement officer!
"Yes, I'm proud of him. But it's hard to describe the horror of hearing a news report that a police officer has been shot but his name hasn't been released. I've never gotten used to that panic, that waiting for the telephone to ring.
"Nick's always bugging me to join a support group. Like I have the time. God forbid he'd listen to my concerns. That stopped a long time ago. Even when the two of us are out to dinner by ourselves, he's always looking around the room, checking out everyone and everything but me. When he does deign to speak to me, it's to complain about something, like the new shoes I bought that he says we can't afford. Since I can't talk to him, I talk to my girlfriends -- and then he gets mad that I'm on the phone too much! Not that he ever answers his phone! I'll call his cell and leave messages that he never returns, which sets me into another tailspin.
"A few months ago Nick was promoted to the highest rank and offered a prestigious desk job. At first I was thrilled -- finally, I thought, we could have a normal life! Well, that shows you what a dope I am. True, he's off the streets, and that's reassuring, but his days are even longer now than they used to be! Before, the kids would see him as they were getting home from school and he was heading out for his night shift. Now they may not see him at all. Nick pours every ounce of energy he has into police work and acts as if I don't exist. And then he expects me to have sex with him? I don't think so.
"When the kids were younger he used to help with child care and housework, but now? Never. I handle everything! And there's something every single day, whether it's karate, soccer and basketball for the older kids or gymnastics and swimming for the younger one. I'm exhausted trying to keep everyone happy -- and then Nick has the nerve to order me around like I'm a new recruit. Hardly a day goes by anymore that we don't have a huge blowup. It reminds me of my parents' marriage, which ended in an ugly divorce when I was 14. When I met Nick he made all those unhappy memories disappear. Now I feel as if I'm living the nightmare all over again."

The Government's Buffett-Less Tesla Warrants
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- As Tesla Motors (TSLA) continues to drive towards profitability, it's increasingly apparent that former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was wrong when he lumped the car maker into a laundry list of alternative energy "losers" receiving government stimulus.
While Romney can easily be criticized for characterizing the Elon Musk-run company as a failure given its current position, his dollars-and-cents critique of the government's efforts to stimulate green energy and the electric car continue to raise some valid points.
Instead of putting taxpayers on the hook for only picking "the losers," as Romney snickered to President Obama in an October 2012 debate, the bigger issue is the government's lack of compensation for picking winners such as Tesla.
Case and point is Tesla's recent announcement it will repay $465 million in loans received under the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program (ATVM) by late 2017, five years ahead of schedule.While Tesla and its founder Elon Musk are right to frame the company's ATVM loan repayment within the context of the success of the company's Model S electric car, the early repayment is most relevant to Tesla's shareholders, who've benefitted from an over 100% gain since the company's 2010 initial public offering. Were Tesla to repay its ATVM loans in full ahead of a 2022 maturity, deeply discounted warrants held by the Department of Energy (DoE) for over 3 million Tesla shares will be cancelled, according to company spokesperson Shanna Hendriks. The 3,090,111 government-held warrants, some of which Tesla says are priced at an exercise price of $7.54 and some carry an exercise of price of $8.94 a share, according to the company's most recent annual report, currently stand at a profit of roughly $100 million at Tesla's current $41 stock price. Unfortunately for taxpayers, Tesla's early repayment of ATVM loans will likely expunge government's cheaply priced warrants, which are exercisable between December 2018 and December 2022, according to company filings. "If we prepay the DoE Loan Facility in part or in full, the total amount of shares exercisable under the warrants will be reduced," Tesla says in a 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A DoE spokesperson wouldn't disclose the exact financial arrangement of Tesla's ATVM loan balance and the government's warrant, however, Hendriks confirmed that the warrants would basically disappear, if the company were to fulfill its plan for a 2017 repayment. It's obvious that the government-held warrants don't have the teeth of those that Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) hooked into the likes of General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Bank of America (BAC) during the financial crisis and which are all poised to pay off handsomely. Tesla likely wouldn't be in such a race to repay its low-priced government financing were it not an easy way out of discounted warrant contracts. Meanwhile, an Oct., 3, 2012 blog post from Musk indicates the DoE initiated Tesla's planned early ATVM loan repayment. "Far from being worried about our survival, the DoE is highly bullish about our future and doesn't want us to delay early repayment of the loan if we have the cash on hand to do so," Musk wrote. "[We] have a duty at Tesla, having accepted this loan as a portion of our capital, to repay it at the earliest opportunity." The DoE spokesperson also didn't comment on the motive of its Tesla warrant. Larger ATVM loan recipients such as Ford (F) received financing at interest rates in the neighborhood of 2%, but didn't offer the government any stock warrants. Larry Heck, an executive in Ford's investor relations division confirms the DoE took no warrant position in Ford. Therefore, the auto maker is in no hurry to repay its ATVM loans. "There is not really any great reason" to repay ATVM loans early, said Heck, while noting that the $5.9 billion in financing the company received helped to electrify Ford's cars such as the Fusion, Focus and its C-MAX hybrid. Nissan (NSANY) received nearly $1.5 billion in ATVM loans, which helped the company develop its Leaf electric car.
Overall, Tesla's success and its ATVM loan repayment are best characterized as a small victory for taxpayers alongside the overall program, even if the DoE appears to have left money on the table. Spurring the development of the electric car and the infrastructure necessary to support its adoption at a minimal cost to taxpayers is likely to enrage only the most ardent budget deficit scolds. Even potential losses to the overall program are likely overstated. The DoE says on its web site for ATMV that the program is responsible for about 60,000 jobs, [jobs equal tax revenue], while it also helps to reduce automotive carbon emissions. Heck of Ford noted that its financing helped to retrofit plants in states such as Michigan that went beyond the automaker's electric car fleet. The rise of competitors such as Tesla, Nissan and General Motors (GM), is crucial to increasing the number of power stations nationwide and popularizing the electric car as an alternative to carbon emitting vehicles, according to a Ford spokesperson. Given the likelihood that Ford, Nissan and Tesla will repay their ATVM loans in full, while only $193 million in loans given to Fisker Automotive remain a risk to taxpayers, it's hard not to see ATVM as a classic case of stimulus and development. For dollars and cents mavens like former Presidential candidate Romney, the government's Tesla stock warrants, however, might be the difference in characterizing ATVM as a success.

At the start of every semester, David Steinberg tells his classes more or less the same thing.
Most of you, he'll say, are going to look back on this class and find that you learned really valuable skills. You formed great memories, you use what you learned on a daily basis.
"And you won't remember me," he says. "I'm a facilitator."
Steinberg, director of the University of Miami's debate team, received the 2013 Robert and Christine Staub Faculty Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Effective Teaching at the University of Miami School of Communication. The award recognizes effectiveness in teaching, advising, mentoring and service roles in and outside the classroom.
Steinberg joined the university in 1990 and has been the school's debate director for 23 years. He's also an expert in political debates, rhetoric, speeches and political campaigns.
His approach to teaching is the opposite of intrusive. "They learn by what they do, not by what I say," he said. "(The students) conduct their own learning environment. I do not call the plays from the sideline. I empower the debaters and assistant coaches to design their strategies."
Steinberg said over the years, he's noticed the best students don't always make the best grades.
"A lot of students find it frustrating, but each individual student has to find their own way," he said. "I won't impose myself on them."
Regardless, he's set high expectations for his students and his debate team.
"I expect them to be prepared. They have the responsibility and freedom to approach debate in their own way, as long as standards are being met," he said.
As passionate as he is about debate, it's clear that Steinberg cares about the relationships he's built and maintained over the years. On an average year, he and the team travel as many as 15 times together for debate tournaments.
"They are my family," he said. As for his two children and wife — they're also part of the team. "My boys travel with me, and my wife is a mom to the debate team."
For Steinberg, teaching isn't work; it's pleasure. His father valued the profession and instilled that in him at a young age. "I really love teaching," he said. "I certainly learn way more from my debaters than they do from me."
Winning the excellence in teaching award has been humbling and satisfying, he said. His name will be displayed permanently in the school of communication's reception lobby. He'll also receive $2,500.
"It means a lot to me because my parents would honor and respect it," Steinberg said.
The bookshelves in his office are stacked with books covering politics, debate and critical thinking. Debate makes you better in every aspect of your professional and academic career, Steinberg said. "You're less likely to have a knee-jerk reaction to a political policy."
He finds his students are more capable of making "good decisions," are more open-minded and form well-informed opinions.
"Influential people across the country come out of debate," he said. "Debate puts people in a world where they're often defending what they do. They have to really love it. It creates a perspective that has real value to the people who do it."
During the school year, he meets with the debate team at least three days a week, in addition to most weekends. "It's so intense and difficult and challenging to be able to compete with some of the best debaters in the country," he said. "The less I do, the more they learn. I just have to present them with appropriate challenges and feedback."
Ryden Butler, president of the debate team, said that Steinberg always makes sure the team is ready to compete successfully. "He really understands and remembers what it is to be a student," Butler said.
Butler, a junior majoring in political science, history and economics didn't participate in debate competitively until college.
"Debate really helps you in all of your classes," he said. "It helps you talk about a number of subjects, and it teaches you valuable lessons about training and leadership."
Under Steinberg's leadership, Butler and his partner Ali Jessani won the Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha national championship held in March at the University of Florida.
Butler and a group of students nominated Steinberg for the award. They filled out forms, wrote essays and encouraged others to nominate him as well.
"If we could do anything to give back to Dave, it was a no-brainer," Butler said. "We certainly tried as best we could."
Although it's clear that debate is his passion, his family — both immediate and debate-team — is most important to him. Photos of his family are visible in his office everywhere you look.
Debate team member Renee Reneau said that he's been a father figure for her and the team. "I was the only girl, especially second semester. I never felt singled-out."
Steinberg values a combination of effort and talent. "The level of respect he gives his students makes him different from other teachers," Reneau said. "He's also very good at providing constructive criticism."
Reneau, a sophomore majoring in political science and intercultural communication, said her ability to solve problems has improved since she joined the debate team.
"His style is very much to throw his students into the deep end and watch them swim," she said. "He assumes your intelligence is at a certain level. I'm (now) able to approach things with a different viewpoint."

|Editorial: Why not buy local this Christmas?
|Wednesday, November 21, 2012 2:40 PM
Why not buy local
this Christmas?
Friday marks the official start of the Christmas shopping season, although many retailers have been clamoring for our attention for months. With Dec. 25 less than five weeks away, the pressure is on to take care of all the preparations – decorations, parties, cards and letters, special events, and, of course, gift buying. What to buy? What to spend?
While Friday has come to be known as "Black Friday," and the following Monday is called "Cyber Monday" because of the crush of online shopping, a new day is making its presence known. It's called "Small Business Saturday" and urges everyone to patronize the independently owned small businesses in their communities on Nov. 24.

By Times Staff
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Gloucester Police, Massachusetts State Police, and detectives assigned to the Essex County District Attorney's office are investigating the early Saturday morning death of a 29-year-old Salem man who was reportedly either struck or run over by a car early on LePage Lane in West Gloucester's Pond View Village housing complex.
City Police Chief Leonard Campanello said over the weekend he could not comment on the incident as an ongoing investigation, and he referred all calls regarding the case to the Essex County District Attorney's office of Jonathan Blodgett.
Carrie Kimball Monahan, speaking for the DA's office, said the 911 call reporting the incident came at 1:41 a.m. Saturday indicating that "a man had been struck by a car at 39 LePage Lane."
The victim, identified as Michael J. Linscott, was taken to Addison Gilbert Hospital where he was later pronounced dead, Monahan said. Linscott was listed by police and the DA's office as being frolm Danvers, but his mother said Sunday that he had lived with her in Salem.
Authorities had not, as of Sunday, released the name of the driver.
"The driver of the motor vehicle is cooperating with the investigation and no arrests have been made," Kimball Monahan wrote in a Saturday email to the Times, adding that authorities were still "sorting out" the details of the incident. The male driver is also reportedly not from Gloucester, through that could not be confirmed as of late Sunday.
Meanwhile, police were reportedly continuing Sunday to interview a number of witnesses regarding the incident, though there was nothing at the incident location indicating a crime scene or any other signs of investigation.
While Monahan said investigators were still looking to "sort out" aspects of the case, however, the release from the DA's office referred to the call only as "an incident" in which Linscott died; it not refer to it as a car-pedestrian or any other type of "accident."
The site of the fatality came on a portion of LePage Lane that essentially serves as an driving aisle between parking spaces on the lower level of the Pond View Village complex, just past the management offices.
Sitting side by side, Pond View Village and The Heights at Cape And are both large-scale apartment complexes with some condominiums located off lower Essex Avenue, or Route 133.

Illuminati symbolism in Miley Cyrus 'We Can't Stop' music video
Miley Cyrus is another one of these faux-Disney stars that the Illuminati puts through the machine to lure the young ones in and then do a bait-and-switch to manipulate impressionable kids into all of these reptilian brain fantasies of lust, money, and partying. When I saw the Vevo ad for her new video it was obvious we were going to be in for a nice ride of Illuminati symbolism because they had her pose with the one eye closed, giving us the all seeing eye of the Illuminati:
As far as the video goes, here's what I could find: She does some ad placement for beats audio, notably pointing to it with her finger that has the tattoo of the Illuminati all seeing eye that we see in practically every music video nowadays:
Oddly enough, the video has this abstract scene that doesn't fit, and in it we see her cutting off said finger. No doubt a reference to her shedding her former self in favor of selling out to the devil/Illuminati music industry. All of the popular musicians have alter egos and personalities, a calling card of manipulation from the Illuminati:
Check out these quick flashes of satanic/Illuminati symbolism. Here's a pentagram on the one guy's shirt. Shout out to commenter 'thatguythatknows' for letting me know that this is actually Left Brain from Odd Future, no stranger to Illuminati symbolism either:
Left Brain:
Miley has her tongue out in at least 30% of the video (another 30% is devoted to her trying her damnedest to shake her ass). She seems to be trying her best to shed her prior role of the kid-friendly Hannah Montana and pushing a homosexual image. Let's be clear though; I have zero problem with homosexuality, however people like Miley Cyrus are doing it as a fashion statement or some other kind of exploitation and if I was homosexual I'd be outraged. She's supporting the agenda of trying to claim that homosexuality is some kind of "rebellious" choice or whatever, but it's all a b.s. manipulation that the handlers are inserting so that they can pass legislation to discriminate against people who are truly homosexual:
Check out dude throwing up the '666′ hand gesture in the background on the right:
We see the same symbolism in this video with the dead lamb (presumably a mockery of Jesus Christ) as we do in the Robin Thicke video for Blurred Lines. We see there are 11 lambs, and the number 11 in numerology means to 'read between the lines,' and using intuition, hinting at something going on behind the scenes in this Illuminati-filled music industry and the symbols they constantly throw at us:
Here's the Robin Thicke lamb shot:
And finally one more Illuminati shout-out by the puppet:
Here's the video:
Don't forget who's watching you:
UPDATE 27JUN2013: Check out the eagle eyes on this youtuber, finding tons more '666′s throughout:
UPDATE 14SEP2013: I received a comment on here about her wearing a cross necklace against the Hebrew numerals for '666′ (which is three somewhat straight lines typically). I looked for it in the video, and I can't tell if the necklace is truly the '666′ numerals, or just the astrological sign for Scorpio (her birthday is Nov. 23rd). Take a look for yourself, I'm thinking it's Scorpio:
Here's what the Hebrew '666′ looks like:
Also, it should be noted that she is posing next to a Barbie doll; the icon for social programming of women, showing them what they are "supposed" to look like and how to behave. I've read through other articles on this music video and they point out that she is dancing with the pedo-bear. Here's occult expert and theorist Freeman and his post about Miley's Kali invocation:
The Teddy Bear is used in Mind Control as a symbol of your helplessness. A drugged-out, one-eyed Teddy Bear is beyond the concept of the message given to children by Satanic Ritual Abusers when they defile their most treasured possession. This lovable stuffed bear is turned into a constant reminder of the molestation the child has suffered. If it can happen to Teddy… As a matter of fact, kissing the anus of the Devil was a ritual performed on the witches sabbath. It is the ultimate act of abasement called Osculum Infame – "The Kiss of Shame".
UPDATE 28NOV2013: The lyrics to the song say "It's our party we can do what we want" which is akin to Aleister Crowley's "Do what thou wilt", as conspiracy theorist Freeman points out in his Red Ice radio interview about his Aliens From Hell presentation (highly recommended):

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A 19-year-old San Antonio man is in custody after police say he fatally attacked his sleeping father with an ax.
Police say Marshall Lee Giles died of his injuries hours after the attack late Wednesday night.
Police say Giles' son, also named Marshall Lee Giles, was found hiding in the crawlspace under his father's home in downtown San Antonio with a "hatchet with a long handle."
Television station WOAI (http://bit.ly/Y9Uc7C) reports the younger Giles originally was held on a $20,000 bond on an aggravated assault charge but the charge is expected to be upgraded to murder.
A motive for the attack remains under investigation.

Sandbags top 5,500
7:30am Friday 10th January 2014 in News
More than 5,500 sandbags have been distributed by councils during the flooding.
Residents and businesses can continue to pick up sandbags in Oxford at Seacourt Park-and-Ride in Botley Road, which is closed to vehicles because of flooding, and Redbridge Park-and-Ride in Abingdon Road.
Sandbags have also been delivered to PC World in Botley Road, the Duke of Monmouth pub in Abingdon Road and to South Hinksey.
Vulnerable people whose properties are at risk of flooding or those who cannot reach sand dumps in the city because of flood water can call Oxford City Council on 01865 249811.

Ski in and gondola out of the beautiful Mountain Thunder Resort. This resort is a little ways outside of the main part of Breckenridge and offers a secluded feel, but it is located near the gondola that takes you up to all of the slopes on Peak 7 so you can get in your fix of snow. We toured a two-bedroom condo that combined both homey comforts and top notch luxury.
Each unit is privately owned so they all vary slightly and many are excellent for kids. Ours for instance had a beautiful king-size bed in the master and a set of bunk beds and a double bed in the extra bedroom. For more kids' amenities, check out the playground and the pool across the street from the main building.Recommended for:Adventure TravelersFamily TravelersLuxury TravelersOutdoor Enthusiasts

We were not a fan of this lodge. Although it is convenienty located near the gondola and the main street, it was too centrally located to us. We visited in the summer and for us, that means spending lots of time outdoors and with the door open, sitting on the patio. Unfortunately, in the unit we were in, that meant we weren't listening to the sounds of running rivers or trees rustling. Instead, we were listening to the traffic noise and the gondola. That wasn't what we were looking for so we decided to check out and find another hotel.

Mountain Thunder Lodge is a complex of individually owned condos that are centrally managed.
This property is a ski in, gondola out kind of place. It is located on one of the ski runs, so in order to get into town you have to take the gondola or drive. The gondola is an excellent place to meet folks from all around the world.
Mountain Thunder also has a shuttle service that runs from 7am-11:45pm.
Some rooms have balconies, and flat screens are by no means the standard here. But who comes to Breckenridge to watch TV?
Mountain Thunder had an amazing pool that had me day dreaming about it long after I left.
The decor here is a red/gold theme. Very original.
Mountain Thunder is near other hotels nearby, and if you're staying here you have access to the fun activities that One Ski Hill has to offer.

My wife and I have been to Breckenridge many times, but we had never seen (or heard) of the Mountain Thunder Lodge. Breck is filled with all kinds of properties and resorts, and quite frankly many get lost in the shuffle.
Not this one! This is a fabulous location location. There's a purpose-built ski run back down to the Lodge for the end of the day. No shuttles, walking, or lifts needed. We're both skiers, so.. wow!
The building is beautiful, in a superbly private location, with views both towards town and to the slopes and beyond. The post and beam architecture goes up four floors from the main floor where the lobby is.
Really nice folks greeted us for check in. The information we got was informative, enthusiastic, yet low key at the same time. The subtext was, this is a well-trained staff. Good light, cozy, everything in this place says upscale ski lodge, including the price. But, isn't there a saying around that says dollars (and calories) don't count in a resort town?
The room.. wow. It had a much bigger than expected living room and immaculate kitchen, complete with granite-tiled countertops and intelligent design (even according to my semi-pro chef wife). For those so inclined, cooking for yourself would be a breeze. (The City Market grocery is a mere quarter-mile away), After dinner you can simply sit in the big comfy couches in front of the gas fireplace with big screen TV above, or, go to close by Breck and enjoy its charms. You get the picture.. it is very easy to relax at this place.
Bathrooms are more than adequate, both for the master bedroom and for the guest bedroom (two bedroom reviewed here). Many have a decks that look up to the ski area, Peak 8 to be exact, and if you haven't ever seen the dark dark shade of blue you get at high altitude dry air, I recommend putting it on your bucket list.
Nice gated swimming pool and adjacent hot tub. It looked like there was a cabana that got use as a bar or activity center in the summer. The pool was amply heated. Everything was tidy.. walks shoveled. Shall I go on? I'll leave the rest to you guys. Great place and highly recommended.Recommended for:Luxury Travelers

Animals From the Inside Out by Sara Yoo 4/06/12 4 Reactions 18 Shares Print 1 12 5 0 0 For centuries, scientists have explored the internal systems of animals in an attempt to learn more about our origins and genetic relationships. Sketches pulled from Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks show very accurate skeletal and muscular anatomies of horses and men. Those served as the basis of his artwork as well as an outlet for his intellectual curiosity. At London's Natural History Museum, a new exhibit called Animals Inside Out indulges mankind's fascination by displaying plastinated animals that use the same technology developed by Gunther von Hagens's for the popular Body Worlds exhibits.

Detailed Description:
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. The majority of patients with lung cancer have non-small cell type (NSCLC). The current standard of care for treating select stage IIIB and stage IV NSCLC is a doublet chemotherapy regimen, such as cisplatin plus gemcitabine, carboplatin plus paclitaxel, or a platinum agent plus vinorelbine. All of these regimens have comparable response rates as first-line therapy. In addition, the combination of cisplatin plus pemetrexed has recently been approved for non-squamous histology, based on results of a large randomized prospective trial in advanced stage NSCLC. Alternative doublet therapy for first-line treatment of NSCLC per ASCO and NCCN guidelines also include a non-platinum doublet or single agent therapy.
Although platinum agents are routinely used as first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC, interim results in this trial have shown that approximately 40-50% of these patients have disease that is sensitive to platinum agents based on our genomic signature of platinum sensitivity. Of the patients who are resistant to platinum agents, 60% of those patients have disease that is sensitive to pemetrexed. However, this technology is not yet used to guide therapy for individual patients and it is not known how the use of this technology may affect outcomes.
An individual patient's response to chemotherapy is the result of complex interactions between the drug(s) and the patient's genetics and environment. Using Affymetrix gene expression data with corresponding drug response data for cisplatin from the NCI60 lines panel, a robust gene expression based model predicative of cisplatin-resistant has been developed. Based on preclinical observations, a first-line chemotherapy regimen for each patient will be individualized based on histology and gene expression patterns seen in a given patient.

HARRIS COUNTY — Neighbors in the Summerwood area are surprised to learn that a woman accused of stealing from porches in Kingwood is their neighbor.
There's a warrant out for 48-year-old Linda Tatosian on a theft charge.
She was identified after viewers recognized the woman and her car in the surveillance video from Kings Lake Estates.
"I was like what wait a minute, I recognize that yellow Mustang," said neighbor Adrian Green.
Last month, Jason Jodway's surveillance camera was rolling when the crime happened at his house in a gated subdivision.
"She drove on my grass," said Jodway. "She walks to the front porch and starts opening our boxes."
The video shows the woman ripping open packages and trying on a pair of shoes. She then attempts to open the front door before driving away.
Minutes later, she was recorded near the front door of a neighbor's house where she appeared to relieve herself.
Tatosian hasn't been arrested yet, and her husband would not tell KHOU 11 News where she is.
The theft charge is a misdemeanor for $250 worth of beauty products delivered to doorsteps.

Homily on Prayer - Fr. Dominic David Maichrowicz, OP
The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds; it does not rest till it reaches its goal, nor will it withdraw till the Most High responds.
Two priests were having an argument about prayer, and they decided to settle the argument by writing to Rome and getting an official opinion. So one of them wrote and asked "Is it okay to drink coffee while praying?" and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments wrote back and said, "No. One should not be drinking coffee while praying." Well, the other priest said, "you didn't ask right," and so he wrote to Rome and asked, "Is it okay to pray while drinking coffee?" And the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments wrote back and said, "Yes, of course!"
What is prayer? Prayer is a lifting of our heart and mind to God. It is the teaching of our Catholic faith that we mere human beings can be united to God, united to Him who is existence, wisdom, goodness, and love itself. It is a union that does not cause us to dissolve or be absorbed into God or nothingness, it is a union that perfectly preserves who we are. Indeed, it is the union through which we discover who we truly are; the person God made us to be. And the process of this union comes through prayer, through lifting of our heart and mind to God that we might be united to him.
We have two examples of prayer in the Gospel today; the "prayer" of the pharisee, and the prayer of the tax collector. The pharisee we are told spoke his prayer to himself: it didn't actually involve any lifting of his heart and mind to God. And we can see why; he didn't have any need for God – unlike the rest of humanity, he didn't have any sin – and he was a perfect observer of the law. He does say 'Thank you' to God – but he seems rather convinced that he is the one responsible for his own goodness and therefore he has earned the right to despise the tax collector and probably us as well.
Now, tax collecting in the ancient world was a rather despicable job – far worse than it is today. Tax collectors weren't really paid for their work; they made money by collecting extra when they collected the tax. Plus they worked for the foreign occupying government which essentially made them traitors to their own people. So we can understand why they were disliked.
Perhaps then we also understand why the repentant tax collector stood off at a distance, why he would not even raise his eyes to heaven. He knows where he stands. He knows that he has betrayed his own people – that he has been greedy, dishonest, maybe even adulterous. But he knows something else as well – he knows that God has declared himself to be merciful, he knows he cannot change without God's help, and he knows that the prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds. He does not dare to raise his eyes, but he does dare to raise his heart and mind and pray, 'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.' And we are told he went home justified – that is, he went home with his life made right with God.
Given what prayer can do – given the union with God that it can draw us into, the forgiveness and the being made right with God that it can achieve, given the promise that it does not rest till it reaches its goal, nor will it withdraw till the Most High responds; It is critical that we make sure we set time aside every day for prayer; and during that time the least we can do is set aside our coffee as well.
Because it's more than just setting aside time – we need to set ourselves apart for prayer. It is difficult to lift my heart and mind to God when both are in the jumble of the chaos of my lives. And so I need to work to set those things aside and get rid of that external noise and internal noise and confusion as well – to silence the phone, shut off the TV, and shut down the computer; to let go for a moment of the things that need to get done, the places we need to take the kids, the demands at work; to let go of those things and lift our heart and mind to God.
There are things that can help us set ourselves apart for prayer. Prayer involves the whole person including our body and so even our posture can help – there is a reason prayer is often done on one's knees and not laid back in a recliner; we can have physical objects to help us focus like a crucifix, an icon or picture, or the beads of the rosary; we can have a set place – a certain chair, or a bench outside, or stopping into the Church; we can begin with set prayers and set meditations to help us focus as well. And yet even with all of that it will be difficult – and if small children are involved you might be lucky to find just a few moments in the day – but even those few moments are essential – to be ourselves before God, to lift up our heart and mind in praise, in asking for forgiveness and for our needs, in praying for others, and in being truly thankful for all he has given us.
Prayer is so great, so important that we need to set ourselves aside and make time for it. But it is also so great and so important that it can be incorporated into every single good thing we do with our day – prayer can be united to our work, to our service, to taking care of the kids and driving them all over town, to our study, to our time with friends, and even to our suffering: so long as we unite our actions and direct them towards God; so long as we lift our hearts and minds through those actions and make of them an offering to God, we are at prayer: and indeed we can as St. Paul instructs us, learn to pray always; even while drinking our coffee.
Here in the Mass we find the center of our life of prayer – here as a community we lift our hearts and minds to God: we lift them up to the Lord asking his forgiveness in the penitential rite; we lift them up to receive the Word of God through the readings and the homily; we lift them up in intersession in the prayers of the faithful; and we lift them up in adoration and thanksgiving as we come to this altar to receive Jesus in the most Blessed Sacrament.
Prayer is not easy but the struggle to pray can be itself a part of prayer; so may we strive this week to deepen and increase our life of prayer. Let us compete well; let us finish the race; let us keep the faith. And may we know that the Lord will stand by us and give us strength; and that through the lifting of our hearts and minds we too can be made right with him.

Dang...he looks good now. Too bad he's retired.
Ever wondered what Giants CEO Larry Baer does all day besides signing off on Sabean's roster moves?
This is kinda weird. "Barry Bonds will try to rehabilitate his tarnished image by confronting a fan who hates him on the upcoming reality show "H8R." On the show, the MLB home-run king will watch a tape of one of his biggest detractors chewing him out, and then confront his "H8R" -- who won't know the slugger has been watching him -- face-to-face. It'll be up to Bonds to convince the guy that he isn't so bad, after all."
Dave Zirin on the Bonds verdict. I know we're all tired of the subject, but it's a good bigger-picture article.
Should Barry Bonds be elected to baseball's Hall of Fame? The answer here: no.
i'm sure there are many intelligent, well reasoning baseball fans that find steroids a bigger deal than me, but does anyone else actually believe this? "There is not another American sport where so many of the elite have been disgraced. Nothing comes close to this. Not Pete Rose, not the Black Sox, not baseball's drug trials of the 1980s, not the college basketball scandals of the 1950s." Throwing a world series is one thing, but giving round about answers in front of a grand jury that eventually do get answered directly is a sign of the MLB apocolypse. um, what? more on the verdict from Criag Calcaterra

For those who want to play this DVD on your 5.1 Home Theatre -- note that the audio levels on the Centre Speaker (Centre Channel, also known as the Speech Channel) are very low! So low that you have to strain hard sometimes to hear the dialogue.
The levels in other channels are good (Front Right Speaker, Front Left Speaker, Rear Right Speaker, Rear Left Speaker, Subwoofer -- all are good). And therefore, with a weak audio level in the Centre Speaker, it is even more difficult to make out the dialogue when other Speakers are outputting amazing sound.
Bad authoring :-(
Directed by Sriram Raghavan,the director of much acclaimed films like Ek Hasina Thi and Johny Gaddar, Agent Vinod is a big disappointment, in comparison to his earlier films. The film revolves around Saif Ali Khan, who plays the role of an undercover RAW officer, who hip-hops and crisscrosses different continents in search of a lethal weapon. Despite being shot in exotic locales, and a fairly good performance by Saif Ali Khan, the film gets booged down, because of its inherent weakness in the storyline and a plethora of ill-defined characters. Kareena Kapoor is totally wasted in the film, a... (Expand)
Actually I might like to watch Agent Vinod 2 if the director Raghavan forgets all he has done to make the original one. I had high expectations from the team considering, the fabric of the movie was left with AV globetrotting the world in search of never-a-mystery bomb 242. How can the script put everything in viewer's mind in a thriller like this? I swear everybody could guess whats ahead in the movie.
Kareena's dil was really muft ka. She has potential of doing sserious cinema, but it was a wasted opportunity. Its like doing a movie for free when its produced by your boyfriend.

The ultimate winner in the first annual Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge, held last week in Santa Rosa, was the Beaulieu Vineyard 2009 Tapestry Reserve, a classic red Bordeaux blend.
Two dozen judges sifted through 930 wines in the blind tasting, then voted to find the best from throughout the heart of Wine Country. When their scores were tabulated, a total of 121 wines received gold medals, six won Best of County awards, five won Best of Class and the Beaulieu red was judged to be the biggest winner of all, the "Best of the Best."
Its stated price at contest entry time was $60.99 a bottle. The Rutherford vineyard was established in 1900 by Georges de Latour and has served as a benchmark for Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon ever since. The wine garnered 98 points and inspired one judge to comment, "Please pour this over my naked body."
"Best of Sonoma County" was a three-way tie for winner, among Sivas-Sonoma 2011 Sauvignon Blanc ($22); Kokomo 2012 Grenache Rosé, Pauline's Vineyard Estate ($22); and Trombetta Family Wine 2011 Pinot Noir, Gap's Crown Vineyard ($58).
The Sivas-Sonoma 2011 Sauvignon Blanc, a wine produced by Don Sebastiani & Sons from Sonoma County grapes, also won Best of Class award for "Best White Wine." It received 98 points and was described as "fragrant and extremely complex" by the judges.
The Kokomo 2012 Grenache Rosé, Pauline's Vineyard Estate, also won the Best of Class award for "Best Rosé," garnering 98 points for being "elegantly made."
The Trombetta Family Wine 2011 Pinot Noir, Gap's Crown Vineyard, sourced from vineyards in the Petaluma Gap region of the Sonoma Coast AVA, was deemed "soft, sultry, deep" by the judges, who gave it a score of 98.

We have two dogs that love us allot, but not together….they fight when they are out and I am around…that is how I nearly had my leg chewed up a coupe months ago…trying to break up their fight over me…Yes I still have the dogs…wasn't their fault. Anyway, I decided it was time to build a better cage for them. These are 8' deep 8' wide each. The bin at the end is where we store the trash. Still have to paint them.

Hopefully, by now, you have noticed that September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. We went to Mitchell and met a 64 year old man who is lucky to say he is a cancer survivor.
Leroy says, "I didn't feel I had too. I was too macho for that. Nothing could happen to me. I was wrong, dead wrong. Everyone said at the age of 50 you should get checked well that went in one ear and out the other. I woke up 8 years ago."
After an elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen) blood test and 2 biopsies, Dr. Bhat discovered Leroy had stage 3 prostate cancer (that was in November of 2008). Two months later in January of 2009, Leroy opted for surgery to remove the prostate and just in the nick of time. During surgery Dr. Bhat says he found that the cancer extended to the surface of the prostate but hadn't gone into the lymph nodes yet.
Dr. Bhat says, "If he had waited longer it could have spread beyond the prostate and once it spreads to the lymph nodes it usually goes in to other organs and then it's very hard to cure."
As part of the month long campaign, Avera Health system wide is putting stickers up above urinals all over the place that say "Prostate Cancer Could Make What You Are Doing Right Now Impossible" although that is true, not always the case. Leroy didn't have any symptoms so that's why screenings and PSA tests are so important. Prostate Cancer is very treatable and curable if caught early.
Leroy says, "The bad thing is you just never know. There are probably guys out there that have stage 4 cancer. I just couldn't believe it when Dr. Bhat told me I had it. I called my brother after I got the news. He's a year younger than I am, but I told him he better go get checked. He did and had stage 2 prostate cancer. He ended up having surgery 3 days before me. I don't regret surgery one bit because I don't have cancer anymore, that's the big thing. I don't have to worry about it. A lot of guys better get checked. It sure beats the alternative."
As this retired Navy man will tell you, nothing macho about prostate cancer. Get smart and get screened.
Avera Queen of Peace is hosting a FREE PSA screening (they draw blood) at Cabela's in Mitchell on Wednesday September 30th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. All participants will have their names entered in a drawing for a prize donated from Cabela's. Plus, you are invited to attend 3 different recreational seminars that evening that include Kinetic Golf, Fly Fishing, Gun Cleaning and Maintenance.

Dennis Woltering / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS -- For Drew Brees a devastating storm and a near career-ending injury are all chalked up to an alignment of the stars.
In a conversation with Brees and his wife Brittany, he says of his recovery and the city's "in a way were able to lean on each other and use each other to come back stronger than ever."
Drew, Brittany and their 2-year-old son Baylen were unveiling a new commercial the father and son had made for Vicks VapoRub.
The couple said their youngest, 1-year-old Bowen, wasn't feeling well enough to be out.
In a conversation afterward, Drew said his kids are what it's all about.
"You live for your kids. They're all that you think about and talk about, and I think every decision you make in life you think, how is this affecting my kids?" he said. "And you know, your world just kind of centers around them."
Like having kids, Brittany says New Orleans' Katrina experience helped them reevaluate what life is about.
"You know when you see people what the city of New Orleans has gone through and see the zest for life and just the people that have the resilience to make this city amazing like it was, but even better than what it was," she said.
Drew said they're not sure what Baylen's going to be for Halloween. But they agree, that moment after the 2009 Super Bowl win when Drew paraded around the stadium with Baylen is a memory they will always treasure.
"Yeah, well, hopefully we'll have more moments like that," he said. "That was a special moment that I'll remember forever, and you know every day I think about how to create new experiences and the kind of life experiences that we'll have forever."
Drew has a chance of eclipsing Dan Marino's record for total passing yards in a single season, but he doesn't want to dwell on that.
"You know, I'll be honest with you. I try not to think about that," he said. "I think about winning games. As long as you focus on winning, then all of that other stuff takes care of itself."
If you ask how he has become even more accurate than in past seasons, he talks about the other guys.
"I look at the experience that we have. I also look at the young talent that we have. I look at the acquisitions that we had in the off season."
So how does he react hearing that fans are buying stickers or temporary tattoos so they can have a birthmark like his?
"Well, it's just like when somebody you know chooses to wear your jersey to the game or something that supports not only the team, but maybe you as their favorite player, something like that, that's an honor," he said.
Brittany added, "There are no fans like the fans in New Orleans. They are the best. There are no fans in the world like Saints fans, and every time we have friends come in from other towns, I mean they'll say that, you know, the kindness. You know win or lose, I mean, they're just great fans."
One reason Drew says the Saints are doing so well this season is simple.
"We're just having fun."

FITCHBURG — Freshman Cam Moniz's goal late in the second period proved to be the game-winner, and Peabody native Andrew Bucci scored his first collegiate goal to seal the victory as the Salem State hockey team went on the road last night and defeated Fitchburg State, 5-3, in its MASCAC opener.
The Vikings (2-1 overall) found themselves trailing 3-0 in the first period, but turned on the pressure over the final two periods while holding the hosts off the scoreboard. They tallied three times in the middle stanza, with Andrew Bettencourt scoring his second goal of the night to make it 3-2 before Chad Goodwin netted one of his own to tie things up.
Moniz's marker, with assists going to Andrew Cetola and former Revere High star Chris Mastropietro, gave Salem State its first lead with 2:31 to go in the second period. Bucci, also a freshman, then iced the game with an empty-net goal, taking a pass from Matt Kenline and burying it into the Fitchburg net.
Junior Ryan Sutliffe got the win in goal for the Vikings, making 25 saves (all but five of those over the final two periods). Salem State poured 49 shots on the Falcons' cage, 44 of which netminder Randy Wolcott stopped.
Kristofer Faric and Cameron Banwell had two assists apiece for Salem State, which hosts UMass Dartmouth tomorrow at the Rockett Arena in Salem (2 p.m.).
