A method of recognizing partially occluded objects is presented in which each object is represented by a set of landmarks. Given a scene consisting of partially occluded objects, a model object in the scene is hypothesized by matching the landmarks of the model with those in the scene. A measure of similarity between two landmarks is needed to perform this matching. A local shape measure, sphericity, is introduced. It is shown that any invariant function under a similarity transformation is a function of the sphericity. To match landmarks between the model and the scene, a table of compatibility is constructed. A technique, known as hopping dynamic programming, is described to guide the landmark matching through the compatibility table. The location of the model in the scene is estimated with a least-squares fit among the matched landmarks. A heuristic measure is then computed to decide if the model is in the scene.

Former Hereford United and Westfields goalkeeper Dan Connor lands full-time coaching job at FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic
Updated 4:28pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in Football By Ian Morgan, Sports Reporter
FORMER Hereford United goalkeeper Dan Connor has landed a full-time coaching job at FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic.
The popular Irishman is starting his new coaching job at Wigan tomorrow (Thursday).
He will be looking after the Wigan goalkeepers from club's under-21 to the under-8 teams.
"I had a phonecall out of the blue from the human resources department at Wigan asking me if I could come up to see them about an opportunity at the club," said Connor.
And, at end of the interview, Connor was offered the role of heading up the club's academy goalkeepers set-up.
"It has been a difficult 12 months for me and I am thrilled – it's a fantastic job. I want to thank Westfields and Shrewsbury Town."
Connor, who has been coaching at Westfields and Shrewsbury Town, says he and his family will continue to live in Hereford.

Monster Truck Action
Mr 4 likes playing with his Monster Truck toy collection. He has:
- Grave Digger
- Higher Education
- Illuminator
- Hurricane Force
- King Crusher
For the last few months every night before falling to sleep, Mr 4 has them climbing, jumping and flying over the bed and around the room. Now call me naive, but I thought these Monster trucks were just that … toys.
Apparently not, Mr 4 has now discovered there is a whole collection of Monster Truck YouTube videos out there including specific footage of Grave Digger and Higher Education amongst others.
It is quite a sight as he watches these videos with his animated 'ooohhs' and 'aarrhhs' as they jump over cars with the dust and noise and screams of fans.
It is practically guaranteed that the next thing he will ask Santa for will be a 12 volt ride-on Monster Truck to frighten the fish in the backyard.

Price Paid: $160
Great fit and no break-in required. If you have wide feet don't be discouraged by the lack of wide designation on the Keen Bryce Waterproof hiking boot. I went up a full size and the fit is snug but very comfortable.
- Fits my wide feet.
- Waterproof
- No break-in required
- Full price is steep, but sale price is fair…wait for it.
- 6 months of almost daily wear and I need a new pair.
Frustrated with finding a boot that fits my wide feet I ended up at the mall. Now I don't normally shop at the mall, but the Trade Home shoe store has a good selection and excellent service. The salesman brought out a pair of Keen Bryce waterproof boots. They fit my request for a ankle-high water proof hiking boot.
But I wear a size 9 Wide and he brings out a size 10. Sure enough the fit was excellent. I wore them to work the next day where I spent most of 10 hours standing operating a television camera covering a college soccer game. I have since bought two more pair of the same boot!

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $59
These boots are great to take on the trail, especially when there is a possibility of wet conditions. The waterproof, breathable boots make for a comfortable trip!
- Waterproof
- Breathable
- Great traction
- Toe protection
- Good stability
- Mesh material retains some water (although it still keeps feet dry)
I broke these boots in for about a week before taking them to the Walls of Jericho trail in Estillfork, Ala. (8.2mi hike). They have a little different support of the foot than what I'm used to (but I've never owned hiking boots before). It took my feet a couple of days to get used to them, but by the third day I loved them and they were comfortable all day long.
These fit my feet really good. There was no slipping, which meant there were no blisters and I had no chaffing. On the hiking/camping trip they were great! My feet were comfortable all day on both of the hiking days. There were a couple of creek crossings and my feet stayed dry and comfortable. Some of the terrain was pretty intense with rock and dirt and they helped me to keep traction on whatever the ground type while keeping debris out of the boots.
In my opinion, these boots would be a great year-round boot. When hiking the temperature was around 50 degrees and my feet stayed cool, and at our campsite the temperature got down to around 30 degrees and my feet stayed warm while not being very active.
The Keen Bryce boots seem to be a well-constructed, durable pair of boots. I have loved them so far and expect there to be many years of use out of them. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a good "go-to" boot to do well in most any weather condition that you come across.
Welcome to Trailspace, Ben. Keep those reviews coming. And pictures really make a review "pop."

Many of the backpackers here with lots of experience talk about certain failures they see in KEENS often...so several uses in, say maybe your 5th or 6th trip with these...what was going on with them then? Have you used them enough to test the actual construction? Or is that just a hunch? You say almost any weather so how did they do hiking all day in snow for you?
5 months ago
giftogab, I also have heard a lot of complaints about Keens before, I just gave my opinion of the boot based on my experience with them. At the time of this review I had been on several (4 or 5) hikes in them. You're correct, I don't have a lot of experience in hiking, which I point out in my profile. I have not been hiking all day in the snow in these boots, however, I did say that I think that they would be good in "most any weather condition." This was my first gear review to ever write and I realize that it may not have all the information that you prefer, but I gave the information that I had at the time. I'll take your advice and try to improve my future reviews.

[Note by Ed Valentine, 03/28/12 9:32 AM EDT : Fun stuff here from 'Larry Soprano.']
So I had flight for business down south today. When I got to the gate moments before boarding at the Philadelphia Airport I recognized NFL Analyst Mike Mayock was waiting for my same flight to Columbia, SC.
For those of you who do not know, Mike Mayock is originally from Philadelphia and played Safety at Boston College many moons ago. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1981 and played safety for our NY Giants from 1982-1983. He has since gone on to have a successful career in broadcasting and working as an analyst for the
So while I'm at the gate I turn to my business associate and say, "Hey that's Mike Mayock". He had no clue who he was, so after I explained to him he pointed to Mike's bags and said, "I guess you're right." Mike had this huge tag on his luggage with MAYOCK written in sharpy.
So I tweeted that Mike was going to be on my flight and asked if any of my small handful of followers had questions for him?
Who was the first to respond? Yup, you guessed it…BBI. Andiamo replied with a laugh. So I tweeted with BBI to figure out where he was headed. Sure enough, the Gamecocks have their Pro Day tomorrow. BBI asked me to "Tell him Alshon sux so he destroys him on TV, killing his draft stock so we can get him."
Unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to approach him prior to boarding, so I thought my window was closed. However, upon boarding I happened to sit exactly one row behind him on the plane. Once we were airborne and he had finished reading the sports section of the paper and finished downing and entire bag or sour gummy bears (seriously, I was impressed. I checked the newspaper stand leaving the airport and a 10 oz. bag is well over 1000 calories.) I decided to approach him.
I introduced myself, shook his hand and said that I recognized him from his work on NFL Network. He was very polite and seemed pleased to be meeting a football fan. I confirmed that he was travelling down to SC's Pro Day tomorrow and attempted to pick his brain. I asked if there was any stand outs he was looking forward to seeing and he replied with the fairly non-descript "I'm looking forward to seeing all of the kids that are participating". I mentioned Ingram, and he said "Yeah, obviously" and he then offered up that he really likes their CB. Gilmore I asked? He replied with "yeah, I really like him".
It was at this point that I informed him that I was a Giants fanatic.
I asked him who he liked falling to the Giants and he gave me the whole "well it's a long process and who knows how it will shape up at the end of the first round." So I then asked him about who he was looking at tomorrow that might interest the Giants, I asked if he thought Alshon Jeffery would make it to the Giants.
"I'd be shocked if Jeffery was selected in the 1st round." is what he told me.
I asked him really? Even if he runs a fast 40 tomorrow? He told me, "He's not fast. He really isn't. He's had weight issues, up and down, and I don't think that even a fast 40 time will bump his stock to the first round."
At this point I figured I bugged him enough, so I thanked him for his time and shook his hand and he said it was his pleasure.
I know there are many that probably don't agree with his assessment, but I thought it was pretty cool that we had this little exchange. I'm sure in the back of his mind he was thinking, who is this mongo that thinks he knows anything. But, he was a real nice guy.
After we landed and we started to grab our bags he turned to me and said "it was a pleasure meeting you and good luck at #32."

Split verbs
HAPPY New Year. In my last posting of 2012, I promised to post things of interest over the holiday break. "Not so much", as the kids say. I failed to post, but not because I didn't read anything interesting.
The one that stuck with me was a pre-Christmas posting by Mark Liberman, of Language Log, about a purported rule banning "split verbs". I didn't realise that quite so many people consider it an error to put anything between a verb and its helpers like auxiliary verbs. To this crowd, "We have always been friends" must be "We always have been friends.

Well, another day of the Pro Farmer Crop Tour is over and complete and with a turn out like tonight, we can't thank everyone enough for how this tour is put together. We understand that people want to hear the information that we are presenting to them and for everyone who makes that possible- THANK YOU! We packed the house again tonight and with the help of all the sponsors who bring these people to the meetings, it truly is a great honor to work with everyone.
And enough with the sob story, but overall today my route was better than some of the other vehicles out scouting. I rode along with a route that went just east of Highway 71 up to Spencer. After our first few stops and counting and counting pods, we thought that the beans were actually going to be something better than what we were expecting and we were going to have a great story to tell everyone tonight at the meeting. But, unfortunately we can only wish of dreams like this coming true and after we made our way north of Carrol, our routes bean averages dropped dramatically bringing us in at under 1,000 in a 3x3 area after starting closer to 1,400. So, and if any of you know me, I love to ask questions and one ongoing argument throughout the night was what's the cause of this? Planting date or drought? With over 14 inches of rain in these areas in the month of May only, you would think drought would not be a problem. But, as you move north- the spring precipitation measurements keep increasing while we also see more drought stress in these areas. And as an agronomist would answer my question- it depends. And it really did depend because of the variety of soils and planting dates that we see throughout crop districts 7 and 4. We drove through an area of some really sandy soils and that crop needs a drink of water soon or they will see an extreme loss in yield potential. There are three main take aways from today's bean reports:
Our corn crop numbers were average and like stated by Western leader, Chip Flory, we said it at the beginning of the summer that it will be the beans that will be hurting more than the corn. We will talk more about the corn once we see the eastern tour numbers from Iowa tomorrow after they make their way to Rochester to meet up with our route in MN. Even though our numbers were decent, we can't say much about the overall crop because of what we have an idea of what is coming. The corn will take a hard fall if we see all the prevent plant numbers we have seen within the last couple of weeks.
Today we will make our way into Minnesota where we will wrap up the final day of the tour in Rochester, MN. Follow us on Twitter using the hashtag #pftour13 and on agweb.com, ProFarmer.com, and more.

How can we help you?
What we do
When your hair grows back
Hair usually starts to grow back once chemotherapy has finished. Sometimes it starts sooner. After about three to six months you should have a full covering of hair on your head. Other hair such as eyebrows and eyelashes may grow back more quickly but everyone is different.
When your hair grows back the quality and texture may be different from before. It may be curlier or a different colour. In most cases, your hair will eventually return to the colour and condition it was before your treatment for breast cancer.
As your hair grows back you may find that your scalp is very dry, sensitive and scaly. There are treatments available that can help to repair and moisturise your scalp, reduce dryness and scaliness.
Until your hair is long enough to shampoo, an aqueous cream (available from chemists) may be suitable for cleansing and moisturising the hair and scalp. Once your hair is long enough, you can begin to use a gentle shampoo and conditioner.
While your hair is growing back, continue to treat it with care by avoiding perming, colouring or using chemical products on your hair for at least three months (ideally six) after the end of chemotherapy.
If you do want to colour your hair, ask your hairdresser for advice on natural products such as henna or vegetable-based colour.
Hair extensions that are woven in are best avoided for several months as the new hair will be very delicate and liable to break easily.
People vary in how comfortable they are going out when their hair is growing back. Wigs, scarves and other headwear are available if you chose to wear them, until your hair is longer.
Breast Cancer Care has a hair loss advisory service, HeadStrong, for people affected by breast cancer. Visit our services section to find out how we can help.
Finding a suitable hair care salon
Macmillan Cancer Support and TONI&GUY salons have developed a training programme called 'Strength in Style' that aims to ensure people affected by cancer have access to a salon in their area where a trained professional can provide specialist support and advice on hair care. To find out more or to find a participating salon near you, visit the Macmillan website.
The charity My New Hair lists a national network of independent salons and professionals who offer a wig styling service for people affected by cancer who are experiencing hair loss. For more information, see www.mynewhair.org

A Star-Trib article this morning http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/214094051.html seems to have harvested most of the same names that CHers came up with (maybe they stole the list from here!) Of the following names, which is the guy you'd most like to see Flip snare in the next few days? Obviously, many of the options would require the off-loading of some combination of JJ/Luke/DWill salaries, which may not happen, but let's keep this simple: IF they have the room and could pull it off, which is the guy you want the most as that "3rd wing" in the trifecta EiM spoke about the other day?

WINFIELD, W.Va. (AP) -- Mountain State University is being sued by a Huntington licensed practical nurse who claims the school misrepresented the nursing program's accreditation when it sought her enrollment.
Amy C. Pack's lawsuit claims the school didn't tell her that a national accreditation body had placed the nursing program on warning in 2008 and denied continuing the accreditation in 2010.
The lawsuit also claims that Pack wasn't informed about a pending investigation by the West Virginia Board of Examiners for Registered and Professional Nurses. The board revoked the nursing program's accreditation in February.
According to the lawsuit, Pack took classes at the program's Teays Valley location.
The State Journal reports that Pack filed the lawsuit last month in Putnam County Circuit Court.
A Mountain State spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Dead thread is dead. However, the two preamps I use, Soldano SP77 and Mesa Boogie Triaxis have always served me well. If you look into getting either or, I'd also look into a VHT/Fryette poweramp (2:90:2 is a beast). The VHT&MESA combo gives disgustingly smooth leads. DISGUSTINGLY.
... Then again, the best preamp available: Fractal Axe-FX Ultra. I have it at the end of the loop in my rig and it makes my rig. Super serial.

Bud boycott is working!2 Comments Published January 24th, 2008 in Bama Blogging, Mmmm...Beer!
Man, that Jacob Grier is fast! He scooped me on this story, despite living 800 miles away–behold the magic of the internets!
So, yes, the announced boycott is already making gains, in that Pat Lynch, the local Bud distributor told the Anniston Star that he's not opposed to the lifting of the 6 percent ABV restriction, but opposes lifting such a restriction on a local, county-by-county basis. He doesn't believe that a crazy-quilt of local regulations is a good idea. I say, free the hops by any (peaceful) means necessary, even if that means campaigning county by county.
The long answer, of course, is a bit more complicated. Clearly, the current regulations favor major-brand beers that fall under the legal ABV and container-size restriction by keeping high-quality, high gravity beers off the shelves and out of the hands of all but the most dedicated consumers. Yes, reversing these restrictions at the county level will adversely affect Pat Lynch's business, but probably not to the extent he thinks. Even if these restrictions were removed tomorrow, my guess is that the gourmet beer market would still be fairly limited. Yes, enough folks would substitute high quality, gourmet beers for some or all of their current major-brand (bud, coors, miller, etc.) beer consumption to keep several brewpubs in business and justify having more tap options at local taverns, but there are a lot of folks here who are very happy with their brand (e.g., "I'm a coors guy.") and don't want to try new beers and don't really care that beer exists which makes coors and its ilk seem like urine. That's fine by me. Beer lovers like myself aren't about imposing our views on others. Please continue drinking whatever it is that you like, only allow us the same option when we go to the pub or store to obtain delicious malted hops. But I digress, Pat Lynch is right that his business will likely suffer a bit if the ridiculous ABV restriction is removed, but this is true regardless of whether that removal occurs at the local or state level. If Mr. Lynch operates several distributorships in different counties and the regulations change all the time, then I can see how regulatory uncertainty might raise his costs. Though, to be fair, I think that alcohol distributors in most states have a pretty cushy deal, which is why we've seen opposition to any attempt to reform our prohibition-era laws and why in-state wine sellers screamed so much when the Institute for Justice took their interstate wine-shipping case to the Supreme Court and won!
In short, I'm all for the rights of individuals and companies to engage in peaceful exchange in the free marketplace, but it's hard for me to find sympathy with anyone who whinges about the possibility of his or her legally-enforced economic protection going away. My reaction:
Daily Dixie has more.
Also, Jacob has just put up an excellent post proving that regulatory ridiculousness regarding adult beverages abounds in Virginia as well.

President Obama thanks troops
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) -- President Barack Obama says that because of the incredible skill and courage of countless intelligence and military professionals, the terrorist leader who struck the U.S. on 9/11 "will never threaten America again."
Obama traveled to Fort Campbell in Kentucky on Friday to thanks U.S. troops for their efforts. Many soldiers at the Army post have recently returned from Afghanistan. Obama also thanked the special operations troops who participated in the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
Before Obama spoke, Vice President Joe Biden proudly told the troops: "We just spent time with the assaulters who got bin Laden."

To followup on yesterday's post in which I noted that I was going to look for more information on the patron notification system at Darien Library, I'll note here that Diana K. Wakimoto's post at the Waki Librarian provides a nice summary of John Blyberg's presentation about the project at Internet Librarian last month. If your library was thinking of moving away from a constantly staffed reference desk or wanted to find a way for patrons in far flung parts of the library to be able to request assistance, the Darien Library's patron notification system seems like a well thought out solution.

Those of us who choose to stay healthy, but are exposed to germs at work, school, on public transportation, at the supermarket, anywhere else in public, and even at home, know that one of the most important keys to prevent illness is to keep our hands clean.
And, of course, the best way to keep our hands clean is to keep them washed.
In recent years, soap manufacturers have put antibacterial soaps on the market. They may be called other names, too, like "antimicrobial" or they may say "contains triclosan." Consumers purchase them, and sometimes pay extra for them, in hopes of killing the germs they've picked up. The belief must be that they will kill more germs, or more kinds of germs, or will kill them faster, or - who knows? - because most of us already realize that simply washing our hands well with regular soap will do the trick and get our hands clean.
So we have to ask two questions:
Question 1: Do anti-bacterial soaps kill more germs, or more kinds of germs, or kill germs faster?
According to many resources, including the CDC, anti-bacterial soaps aren't necessary for getting hands clean, and may even be dangerous. Here's why:
When hands are washed correctly for the right amount of time, then all the germs that need to be killed will be killed.
For any anti-bacterial agent to work effectively on hands to kill any additional germs, hands would need to be washed for two minutes or longer - something most of us don't do. (Although, that probably explains why surgeons seem to scrub their hands for such a long time.)
Perhaps surprisingly, the goal for most of us is not to kill all germs. In fact, some germs are good ones and are necessary for healthy living.
Finally, one problem with the widespread use of antibiotics is the Darwin effect; that is, that the germs learn to overcome the agent that's killing them. By putting antibacterial agents into our everyday-use soap, we invite those germs to get stronger, quicker, which means we may eventually get sicker from them.
Question 2: Are anti-bacterial soaps worth the price?
Based on the answer to question #1 - the answer would be no.
It seems, then, that not only should we NOT be purchasing and using antibacterial soaps, we should also be actively avoiding them. Continued and constant use of regular old soap and water, using good hand washing practices, should do the trick.

Jon Stewart Mocks GOP as 'White Man's' Party and Jabs Concerns About Nuclear Iran
On Tuesday's The Daily Show on Comedy Central, as he recounted the racist newsletters that were published in the 1990s under the name of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, host Jon Stewart mocked other GOP candidates after clips of them attacking Paul for not taking seriously the threat of a nuclear Iran, suggesting that the candidates were not so concerned about racism. (Video below)
Moments later, as he mocked Republican voters for adding former Senator Rick Santorum to the list of candidates they are willing to consider, Stewart took another race-based shot at the Republican Party as he used a box of Whitman's chocolates as a prop and pronounced the brand name as if it were "White Man's."
After showing clips of the candidates criticizing Paul's willingness to allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, Stewart cracked:
They're main problem with Ron Paul isn't the racist conspiracy-mongering newsletters! It's because he won't pre-agree to start a war with Iran. That's like hating the TV show Work It because it's only a half hour long.
He then moved to the news that Santorum's poll numbers in Iowa had risen last week, and made his second suggestion that Republicans are racist:
Get the f[bleep] out out of here. Santorum? Really? Republicans, you gonna try every chocolate in the box? Is that, look, look, here's your candidates. Here's your candidates. Let's call it a "White Man's Sampler."

Liberal Plantation
Submitted by Schofield Kid on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 3:04pm.
You have to admit they've done a remarkable job in the last 40+ years in reversing the truth which is the Republican party was explicitly formed to stop the spread of slavery and the KKK was formed by democrats to destroy the rights of freed blacks. Virtually every white person in the south voted democrat through the 1950's while southern blacks mostly voted republican until the welfare state was created by Johnson. THEY are the racist party that wanted to end rights for blacks....WE are inclusive of anybody who shares our values. As Ann Coulter said in her recent book, it would be like democrats proclaiming today if it were in their interest "oh we've always been pro-life!" Just an outright lie!

They also know that Obama doomed Liberalism thanks to his over-reach, so these media hacks are livid about that. What Democratic candidate will ever preach the joys and wonders of Liberalism going forward, when the benchmark is Obama?

Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 8:37am.
newsletter statements and maintains that he has done so in the past (not true to my understanding), he is not disowning the part of his policy that would "allow a nuclear Iran", so it is more effective to hit him on the stuff he has yet to disown.
Plenty of us are worried that he may have written the worst parts of the newsletter, but his contention that he did not makes it assertable not arguable. I don't find him credible on the newsletters, especially when people dug up tape of his plugging them. I can say I don't find him credible, but only a liberal can read minds like you guys do.
Just because you hit your opponent with the most effective weapon, doesn't mean that the other issues "don't matter". Also, attributing to Paul an assent to nuclear Iran presents Paul at his most dangerous (or so the argument goes). Even when someone was ranting about how fast young black muggers run, someone wasn't saying "Let's hamstring all black youths so they can't run so fast." There was nothing there proposed that was as momentous as ignoring the development of a nuclear Iran--simply an insensitivity toward a race.

Oh, and BTW Jon, your little "white man's sampler" comment sounded kinda racist. Should we compare that to our crashing economy as to what's more important? You know what? I'm going with your priorities. Screw the economy that adversly affects millions. I'm going after YOU for your racist comment. I will begin a movement to boycott and eventually ban your show from the airwaves, followed by a petition for a full multi-year congressional investigation into your entire racist career. It'll only cost a couple hundred million dollars, but it'll be worth it so we will never have to hear another racist comment from you.
In the meantime, Iran will have developed nuclear weapons, passed them on to Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations, nuked Israel, slipped a few past our highly competant DHS into the US, vaporized a couple of American cities, started a worldwide nuclear war, and irradiated half the world's oil producing land. But at least we won't see any more racist newsletters from Ron Paul!
As for my project, I will have punched a few more holes in the dike that is our economy, but you'll never again trash the white man on TV...

Fretting over the bomb
The Washington Times ran a story on the views of Israel's Intelligence spy chief Tamir Pardo. The chief of the Mossad was quoted by the conservative Washington Times regarding one of those "what if" scenarios of a possibly nuclear armed Iran.
Washington Times:
"Mossad chief Tamir Pardo addressed a conclave of Israeli ambassadors in Jerusalem on Thursday, saying that Israel's existence is not inevitably endangered by Iran acquiring an atomic weapon, even as Israel has tried to disrupt Iran's nuclear program.
"... Mr. Pardo's comments echo those of his predecessor at Mossad, Meir Dagan, and of other former and current Israeli security officials.
"Mr. Dagan had vigorously opposed an attack and expressed his position publicly after retiring earlier this year. Gabi Ashkenazi, former armed forces chief of staff, also reportedly opposed an attack.
"Opponents to an attack plan say that Iran, as a rational state, would not launch a nuclear assault that would ensure a retaliatory Israeli strike on its cities, including holy sites."

New evidence has surfaced in the shooting death of a Pooler
man that occurred early Monday afternoon.
Evidence indicates that Jeffery Adam Beckworth died as a result
of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. An autopsy conducted by the GBI Crime Lab
supports the initial report made at the scene by Chatham County Sheriff's deputies.
Beckworth was being sought by the Chatham County Sheriff's
Fugitive Squad because he failed to appear in court for an aggravated battery
charge, violation of parole and felony probation violations. Those charges are from events that occurred on Sept. 26,
2010 in Garden City.
When deputies arrived at Beckworth's home in Pooler, he fled
and then turned and aimed a handgun at the deputy pursuing him.
The deputy fired one shot that missed Beckworth. Beckworth
then took his own life. This was consistent with interviews and physical
evidence collected by Pooler Police at the scene.
That evidence has been released to the Crime Lab for further
Beckworth was on felony probation at the time of the event
for a prior conviction in Bulloch County. Because of the probation, he was
prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.
The investigation continues by both Pooler Police and
Chatham County Sheriff's Office.

Agreed it will take a while …. a long while. But to be accurate, Musk's idea has nothing "pressurized" or "pneumatic tube" about it. It involves an evacuated tube (so there's little friction) and magnetic levitation. And history shows how insane those folks were with their stupid ideas of horseless carriages, flight, and landing on the moon and Mars. Wish I were younger.
Facebook. Apple. Google. Twitter. YouTube. Pinterest. So that is the complete and total extent of the Internet, eh? Maybe in your self-absorbed little world, but trust me — there's more. Much more.
"Knee Highs tow the line between classic and fresh." tow / toe, whatever. who cares about spelling any more? But since the article is about feet-related things, you'd think the correct use of the phrase "toe the line" would even count as a good pun — not to mention good literacy.
Fine, don't eat them. More for me.

Get ready to get street smart. A new casual dining experience with street tacos is coming to La Jolla next month.
La Jolla High grads Alan and Eric Adler, also brothers, will open Puesto Mexican Street Food at 1026 Wall Street in early to mid-February. Don't be surprised if you see the doors open a bit early though.
The menu focuses on a guisados (stewed or grilled) meats, fishes and vegetarian treats that are served atop tacos, bowls or salads. Puesto's guisados include salmon, shrimp, chicken al pastor, carne asada and some fancier fare like like zucchini flower and soy chorizo potatoes. All menu items can be topped with one of six homemade salsas.
The Adlers brought in Mexico City native Luis Gonzalez as executive chef. Gonzalez is sure to keep patron's palates intrigued with fresh ingredients. Puesto said it will serve all-natural meats, sustainable seafood, organic local vegetables and homemade stone ground corn tortillas.
La Jolla Patch got a sneak peak into the restaurant, which is still under construction, on Friday. The design team is San Diego-based Studio MYID, which also designed . Most impressive is two extremely large muralist by graffiti artist and San Diego native Chor Boogie.
Watch the video (to the right) to listen to Alan and Eric tell you why they decided to come to La Jolla.

This was posted about the Fins by Jeff Darlington in July:
When the Dolphins' new coaching staff took over, they immediately made sure three words were painted in huge letters on the main wall in the team's general meeting room: Smart. Tough. Disciplined.
Nowhere in the room, though, does it say anything about finesse, grace or elegance. Nobody should expect as much from the Dolphins' offense. This instead will be a hard-nosed unit that relies on powerful running backs, brutal fullbacks and a one-play-at-a-time battling mindset in the trenches.
The running backs are likely to be the strength of this team. Miami is likely to utilize that strength as often as possible.
Despite the general belief that Miami will operate in the same 3-4 scheme used by the Cowboys during the current regime's previous stint in Dallas, Sparano has left open the possibility of running a 4-3.
The decision will likely be based on personnel evaluations during training camp, because most of the team's talent (like defensive end Jason Taylor) may be more suited to a four-man front. Defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni has a history with both schemes, and it's clear he's capable of installing either.
Bottom line
The Dolphins still don't have the talent to be a playoff contender. But at least they have hope. And optimism. And promise.
That's certainly more than they had at the end of last season. At that point, all they had was one win.
SN prediction: 3-13, fourth in AFC East.
This was pretty much the prevailing opinion at the start of training camp, throughout the league, regarding our team. LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE ALREADY COME!!! How awesome is that!?

"I have no way of knowing if Ryan Dunn was drunk at the time of his death," the critic says
"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn and a passenger in his car died of "blunt and thermal trauma" when the 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 crashed and caught fire on a Pennsylvania highway early Monday, according to the autopsy report released Tuesday.
It's been a scrappy day on social media for Roger Ebert.
Online reports conflict about the Jackass star's activities the night he and a passenger died
Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of MTV's "Jackass" films and TV series, was killed in a fiery car crash on a Pennsylvania highway early Monday, police said.
The veteran daredevil, who died in a Pennsylvania wreck, was 34

Gone are the days of home video cameras as the "Jackass" cast and crew goes 3D on the big screen. Go to VBS.TV for more.
There have been several points in my career as a producer and camera operator where I've realized that I have one of the best jobs in the world. This usually occurs to me in remote and interesting places like South Africa or Denmark or something. I'd been on the Santa Clarita, California, set of "Jackass 3D" for about two hours, watching two gigantic cranes catapult a Port-O-Potty containing star Steve-O and gallons of fecal matter 10 stories in the air when the feeling struck me again.
In August 2009, Vice published a story called "Something, something, something, Detroit: Lazy journalists love pictures of abandoned stuff," about the roving gangs of photojournalists prowling the empty city and feasting on its highly photogenic carcass. Since then, some of the worst offenders have abashedly changed their approach to covering Michigan's largest city. But most outlets are still fixated on the all-you-can-click pageview buffet that is "misery porn" of the decaying Motor City.

Action now after a Hank investigation of a controversial wedding photographer. He's now ordered to pay more than half a million dollars in penalties -- including restitution to his angry customers.
It's payback time for more than one hundred fifty angry couples -- They'd complained they'd hired wedding photographer Jesse Clark to take pictures and videos on their once in a lifetime day -- but then he never provided them. A superior court judge now says he has to pay them back.
When last we saw wedding photographer Jesse Clark he was running from our questions. Clark pushed me aside, knocked over a photographer, and ran away.
Now it looks like he's still running -- he failed to show up in court to hear that judges restitution ruling. But the court order is good news for the outraged brides and grooms who told us he ruined their weddings.
The AG's now had more than a hundred-fifty similar complaints -- She told us -- Clark "stole thousands of dollars from newlyweds".
Martha Coakley: "They have not made any effort to act in good faith or in accordance with Massachusetts law."
More good news for the ripped off couples--the AG's office tells me they have a lot of those wedding photos...They say the goal is to match the pictures to the couples--and get the pictures where they belong.
And looks like Clark wont be able to do this to any other newlyweds--the court also ruled he can never again conduct a wedding photography business in Massachusetts.
If you are looking for your wedding photos contact the MA Attorney General's office for more information: http://www.mass.gov/ago/

Colac History
The Kolijon or Coladjin indigenous people are lived in the Colac region before the European settlers first explored the area in 1837. Many living around the lake which was a great source of food with its abundant fish and bird life.
Pastoralists including Hugh Murray who has the town's main street named after him in his honor were the first to settle in the area in the late 1830's. Hugh built the first homestead in 1840 along Barongarook Creek near Lake Colac.
During the 1840's the town began to grow and by 1855 the town was thriving with a hotel, churches, schools and even a bridge over Barongarook Creek. The town had general stores and butcher- just about everything it needed.
One of the worst environmental decisions in Australia's history happened in the 1850s at Winchelsea about half way between Geelong and Colac at a farm called Barwon Park. Thomas Austin released 24 rabbits onto his estate to make it more like England. Although it is believed the First Fleet carried rabbits back in 1778, Austin's rabbits survived. The rabbits did what rabbits do and before long they had infested much of Australia causing soil erosion, and the loss of many native species which had their food supply eaten by these cute but evil vermin. The rabbits were released in 1859 and by 1890 they had spread as far as the Northern Territory and Western Australia, with a bit of help from other misguided people who also let them go.
The railway between Geelong and Colac opened in 1877 further developing the town and narrow gauge lines linked near by Forrest and Beacc for timber movement from the Otways.
After World War One and World War Two many ex toservice men settled into the area with Solider Settlement Schemes operating in the area. Many went on to become farmers and really added to the prosperity of the town and surrounding districts.
During the 1980's Colac was put onto the Australian if not world spotlight with local identity Cliff Young. The nation was in awe with the then 61 year old potato farmer who became an over night celebrity with his long distance running. Cliff with his famous shuffle and sometimes even in gum boots ran and won the 1983 Sydney to Melbourne marathon running a staggering 875 kms. But that was nothing for Cliff, in 1997 at the ripe age of 76 he ran 6520kms around Australia to raise money for charity. Sadly Cliff passed away in 2003 but is still remembered as a superstar in Colac.
Today Colac still prospers with the Dairy, timber, beef and wool industry but many new boutique operations are starting to take off. Gourmet and natural foods from the region are becoming very popular with organic meats, vegetables and cheeses going from strength to strength.

This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Lata Mangeshkar has sung with G M Durrani only 11 songs, six of them are light-hearted, teasing or 'sawaal-jawaab' (question-answer) type. Here is one of such songs ' hello mister dil betaab ho kiske liye' from the film ANAND BHAWAN (1953) sung by them. The star cast included Manhar Desai, Nigar Sultana, Trilok Kapoor, Durga Khote, Tiwari etc. The film had eight songs of which four each were written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Noor Lucknawi. The songs were composed by Vasant Desai. One song from the film has been covered in the blog. The song under discussion was written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan.

Lata Mangeshkar sang only 11 duets with G M Durrani. 6 out of these 11 have been sung in 1948-49. In the book 'Lata Mangeshkar …. in her own voice – Conversations with Nasreen Munni Kabir' (2009), she has mentioned that her first song for Naushad was a duet with G M Durrani haay chhore ki zaat badi bewafaa for 'Chaandni Raat'(1949). At that time Durrani made some personal remarks about the necklace she was wearing. She did not like his remarks and brought this to the notice of Naushad. Knowing that she was a sensitive person, Naushad replaced Durrani and took Sadat Khan for her second duet in the same film. However, this duet was edited out from the film.

Sometime back, I was wondering about the playback singers who have sung for Dev Anand and I counted about half a dozen different names. Well known names like Rafi, Kishore, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Hemant Kumar, as well as unknown name like Dwijen Mukherji have given playback for Dev Anand. Some people would even like to include S D Burman though I am not sure.

At a time of the year where the most interesting stories on our front page contain the title "_ Days to Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp" and "The Greatest Kansas City Chiefs, By the Numbers," my mind begins to wander . The strange direction it took recently was spurred by the recent resurgence of interest in my favorite childhood shows by the public at large. We all know that Scott Pioli is "the Don," but perhaps there is another (less maleficent than Vito Corleone) character, which sums the traits of Mr. Pioli. Sifitng though the Captain-type figures of my most beloved cartoons, I worked on connections to Transformers, G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, etc. After much doting on topics which take up entirely too much of my attention, I arrived at a perfect fit.
Considering the traits of the Don: power, dedication, wisdom, protector... I recalled imitating these traits while reenacting my favorite childhood cartoon. What I hadn't accounted for was how many other great parallels exist between this fictional universe and the Chiefs Universe.
*Disclaimer: Forgive any gender mismatches please. Character images and descriptions come directly from this site, which to my best estimation was produced by a 12 year-old in approximately 1993. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Masters of the Universe image to enter. Don't forget to sign his guestbook before you leave. Don't laugh... this dude has had almost 1.5 million visits to his site.
|Man-At-Arms, (also known as Duncan) he is an inventor and helps He-Man. He is always yelling at Orko and is Teelas adopted father.
As Pendergast's (Teela) adoptive father, Haley (Man-At-Arms) brought with him a defensive coordinator to protect Eternos (KC). Known for adjusting his offense in the 2009 run to the Super Bowl Haley is undoubtedly a crafty inventor. While he has yet to yell at our Orko, Haley is well known for his sideline, shall we say kurtness, and zero tolerance for bullshit. Saddled with his most important role yet, Man-At-Arms will give all he can to ensure the success of He-Man (Pioli), the Sorceress (Hunt), and the rest of the Masters of the Universe (Chiefs). Just look at that intensity folks. Bonus Points: the headset.
Teela, is the Captain of the Gaurd for Eternos. She is the Sorceress's daughter and Man-At-Arms adopted daghter
Although in the Masters of the Universe Universe, Teela is the Sorceress' (Hunt) daughter (which doesn't really hold in our Universe), It is easy to see why Clancy Pendergast is the best analogue to Teela. Teela, was adopted by Man-At-Arms while Pendergast was adopted by Todd Haley . More importantly, Teela is the Guard of the Eternos (KC): It is her sole job of defending Eternos against the powers of Snake Mountain (rest of AFCW).
|The Sorceress of Greyskull, she gave He-Man his powers and she gaurd the secrets of Greyskull from evil (SKELETOR). She is Teelas mother.
I don't know about you, but this seems like a wash. Without the Sorceress of Greyskull, He-Man (Pioli) would be sans the power he now yields over Eternos (Kansas City) and Castle Greyskull (Arrowhead). Likewise Hunt has given Pioli the power to protect us from evil forces. Hunt will do all he can to keep the evil powers of Snake Mountain clear of Kansas City and winless in Arrowhead.
Orko, he is a magician. His spells never work right.
Skeletor, the most evilest person on Eternia. He has set forth to get the Secrets of Greyskull and destroy He-Man. He wants to rule Eternia.
Evil Lyn, she is one of Skeletors most powerfull helpers (maybe even his girlfriend).
|Beastman, another one of Skeletors helpers. He can controls animals and he is prety stupid.
Aside from the colors and animal association, this one may be a bit of a stretch. I mean, Beastman is supposed to be able to control animals. As far as I can tell, McDaniels has lost control of his Broncos with the trade of Cutler and demands from Marshall... I mean how stupid do you have to be to lose the best weapons on... oh, wait a minute... this one seems to be spot on.

Valdosta - It's back to the books at Valdosta Middle School, but two eighth grade girls who threatened the school with a bomb Wednesday won't return for at least ten days, and possibly not at all this year.
"Through interviewing students and teachers we were able to identify these two individuals and arrested them as juveniles," said Chief Frank Simons, Valdosta Police Department.
Students found a note in the bathroom yesterday indicating a bomb would go off during lunch. As word of the threat spread, the school system immediately began their emergency response plan.
"We evacuated everyone and had teachers posted and looking in every bathroom, called the authorities, and called the central office," said Janice Richardson, Valdosta Middle School Assistant Principal.
About two hours later, the building was cleared and classes resumed. School administrators believe the threat may have been a copycat incident of this week's bomb threats at Lee County Middle School, and have sent home notes to parents explaining what happened.
"We let the children check out who were upset, and we wanted parents and the community to know what was going on and that everything was safe for these kids," said Richardson.
Administrators reassure students, faculty and parents, they are prepared for such threats and will continue to provide a safe learning environment.

NC governor seeks to remove execution roadblocks with repeal of Racial Justice Act

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed a repeal of the state's Racial Justice Act this week, saying the law had created "procedural roadblocks" to executions.
Four inmates used the law to change their death sentences to life in prison, report the Wall Street Journal Law Blog (sub. req.), the Associated Press and Reuters. The law allowed death-row inmates to void their death sentences by showing racial bias was "a significant factor" in sentencing. Statistics could be used to support those claims, but they had to focus on the jurisdiction of the defendant's trial. A prior version of the law, adopted in 2009, made it easier to prove bias.
North Carolina has not executed anyone since 2006. McCrory said almost all of the state's 153 death-row inmates had challenged their sentences under the law.
"The state's district attorneys are nearly unanimous in their bipartisan conclusion that the Racial Justice Act created a judicial loophole to avoid the death penalty and not a path to justice," McCrory said in a statement.
