Sunrise presenters bare all
The Sunrise team makes a statement by all going make-up free.PT2M32S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ryut 620 349 August 15, 2013

On Thursday morning the Channel Seven Sunrise team revealed more than they ever have before – they went make-up free.
No worries for the blokes but a brave move for host Samantha Armytage and newsreader Natalie Barr.
At 8am their carefully applied TV make-up was removed live on the show and for the next hour they bared all.
Samantha Armytage: with and without make-up.
"It all stemmed from a magazine shoot I did a couple of weeks ago. It felt quite liberating and I got such a nice reaction to it. People were lovely and kind," said Armytage.
"No one sees you without make-up and people are always wondering what we look like. So I spoke to Nat and our boss Michael Pell ... next thing you know we're doing it on TV."
Before the big reveal Barr admitted to being nervous.
Make-up free: Natalie Barr and Samantha Armytage
"It did sound like a better idea yesterday," she said with a laugh. "I'm not that vain, so I'll be fine, but it is confronting. Reading the news is a close up shot!"
As regular Kochie's Angels commentators, Prue McSween, Melissa Hoyer and I were also asked to appear sans war-paint.
Boy, is it confronting. I'm brave. But it's hard going on national TV when you know you're not looking your best.
Make-up free: Samantha Armytage, Melissa Hoyer, Shelly Horton, Natalie Barr and Prue McSween
Make-up is like a suit of armour. You're presenting a photoshopped version of yourself.
"I'm feeling very afraid for all the poor bastards who have to watch me," said McSween.
I have been barefaced on national TV before. Last year then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was heavily criticised for appearing at a press conference in Bangladesh without make-up. In a sign of solidarity I did a segment on Weekend Sunrise make-up free.
Back then I felt absolutely sick.
But this time is was a little easier. A little. All of the girls supported each other and the crew members were very encouraging.
Armytage said: "I've been papped without make-up and they are never attractive but I figure that's me and that's real. It's important to do."
So with freshly scrubbed faces we all went under the harsh studio lights. Imperfections on display to the nation. Of course to add to my insecurity, I managed to get three pimples on my forehead overnight. I'm turning forty and I still get pimples. Gee, thanks body. But I was not allowed to use concealer. No powder to hide my pink skin or cover up oily shine. Nada.
We felt literally laid bare.
But we did it, giggled a bit nervously and then took a deep breath and waited for the feedback.
Pell said the response has been astounding, "You girls were very brave to bare your souls, but it's been a long time since I've seen such a positive response like this. We've been getting 40 emails a minute – so much our email system has gone into meltdown. And social media is going crazy. It proves beauty is more than what's outside. You don't need make up.
"Some people were even saying they were late for work because they wanted to stay for the big reveal," he said.
Going make up free was one of the best examples of empowering woman I've ever seen @sunriseon7 ill forever be a fan now— John Caldwell (@johnmcaldwell) August 14, 2013
@sunriseon7 watched sunrise with my 3 and 5 year old daughters. Two naturally beautiful women. You two are fantastic role models. Thank you!— Lisa Campbell (@liscampbell87) August 14, 2013
@sunriseon7 What a great surprise this morning! Ladies,you look great!What a great message for all ladies out there! #nomakeup#naturalbeauty— MrsKRP (@lovemrskrp) August 14, 2013
Armytage was blown away. "I feel quite chuffed actually. The feedback has been almost 100 per cent positive. And mainly from women. This is sinking in for me lately. Women can be critical of each other but more and more I'm finding they are supportive. Only a women can understand how it feels to go on national TV make-up-free but now I've done it I feel so happy and free."
Barr agreed: "It was empowering. I mean it's not the worst thing you can do but it was daunting. I'm glad we did it."
As for me, I wish I could say I celebrated with a fresh face all day, but as soon as my segment finished I put some make-up on and headed into the Fairfax office. I'm happy to make a statement but sometimes a gal needs her armour.

Cisco Nexus 5000 bridges the network gap
Compact switch seamlessly connects Fibre Channel and Ethernet networksFollow @infoworld
For example, after logging in to the switch, a simple command such as "sh policy-map interface Ethernet 1/1" listed all traffic statistics on that port, grouped for each CoS (class of service) and listing separated numbers for inbound and outbound packets.
Combining a certain CoS with a proper policy, an admin can not only monitor what traffic is running on the switch but can also automatically control where packets are routed and how. Load balancing is a typical application where that combination of policy and QoS shines, but there are others -- for example, automatically assigning packets with different MTU to different classes of traffic.
The NX-OS makes easy some otherwise challenging settings, such as mirroring the traffic flowing on one interface to another on the same or on a different VLAN. A similar setting can be useful for sensitive applications such as surveillance and remote monitoring, but can also help test the impact of a new application on a production VLAN.
Defining a correct policy can help also make sure that FC traffic, or any other traffic running on the 5000, will never drop a frame. Dropping a frame is obviously a mortal sin if a storage device is at one end of the connection, but other performance-sensitive applications can benefit from uninterrupted transport.
I was surprised to learn how easy that was to set up with just a handful of commands:
class-map critical
match cos 4
policy-map policy-pfc
class critical
pause no-drop
system qos
service-policy policy-pfc
In plain English this means the following: Never drop a frame and pause the traffic if you can't keep up with the rate.
I should also mention that PFC stands for priority flow control, a new feature which is at the heart of the FCoE protocol and essentially makes Ethernet able to survive traffic congestion without data loss, by pausing the incoming flow of packets when needed.
My next command, a line that I am not showing, was to assign that policy to two ports on my switch.
How to fill up a 10G line
If setting that policy up was easy, testing that it was actually working was a bit more complicated and called for using the powerful features of IP Performance Tester, a traffic generator system by Ixia. One of the problems I had to solve was how to create significant traffic on my 10G connections, which is where IP Performance Tester, luckily already installed in my test system, was called to action. This isn't the only test where I've used IP Performance Tester, and I've found it to be a valuable tool.
For my PFC test, the Ixia system was set to generate enough traffic to cause a level of congestion which would have translated, without PFC, into losing packets. The switch under test passed this test with aplomb and without losses, proving that not only FC but also Ethernet can be a reliable, lossless protocol.
Of the many test scripts I ran on the Nexus 5000 this was, without any doubt, the most significant. The switch offers many powerful features, including guaranteed rate of traffic, automatic bandwidth management, and automated traffic span.
However, PFC is what legitimates FCoE as a viable convergence protocol that can bridge the gap between application servers and storage, and it makes the Nexus 5000 a much-needed component in datacenter consolidation projects.

By MONA NAIR6 News Reporter
BEAN STATION (WATE) – Family and friends gathered Monday night to say a final farewell to Richard Sommerville, 72, at a memorial service. He was one of the victims of a deadly pharmacy shooting.
Sommerville, along with owner Stephen Lovell, was killed at Down Home Pharmacy on Highway 25E in Bean Station Thursday morning. Two others were injured.
District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn said Jason Holt, 37, robbed the pharmacy of a large amount of Oxycodone pills. He said Holt then opened fire, killing two and injuring two others.
Family members say Sommerville, a father of four, was born in Brooklyn, New York. He lived and worked in that region for several decades. Ironically, one of the reasons he moved to Bean Station was the safety of living in a small town.
They say if had been alive on Memorial Day, he would have probably spent it on the water.
"He was a water person. He loved the lake. He'd ride his lawn mower down there and take a swim," said Sally Sommerville, Richard's youngest daughter.
Instead, loved ones and strangers packed a church for his funeral. Some left fresh flowers at the crime scene on their way to the funeral.
"Who would think this would happen in Bean Station of all places. Everyone knows everyone out here. It's like Mayberry," said son-in-law Robert Frick.
Sommerville retired in Bean Station because of the safe, small town feeling. He had stopped by the pharmacy for a bottle of calamine lotion to treat a simple case of poison ivy.
The family says the fact that the brutal murder could happen in Bean Station sends a message about addiction and pill crimes at pharmacies everywhere.
"I think it's almost at a point where pharmacies shouldn't be able to give these drugs out. Maybe the police station should be the only place you can get stuff like this," said son Ryan Sommerville.
Among the most heartbroken were Sommerville's grandchildren.
"He told me stories, and sang me songs, and could make anyone laugh," said young Samantha Frick, with tears in her eyes.
The family says Richard Sommerville survived cancer, and many other major health issues. They believe he fought those battles and chose to live so he could have more time on earth with his kids and grandkids.

When it comes to social media there's nothing that can be taken for granted anymore. Everybody knows how to send a tweet, how to update a status on Facebook, share a link on Reddit or pin a great image on Pinterest. As a content marketer you want to get your message across, optimize your time and catch the attention of potential new visitors. Just sharing is not enough. Sharing effectively is essential to promote your content.
In a world filled with numerous social networks, and many millions of users and other content creators within them, getting your own presence seen and heard among all of the others is no small task. Luckily there are many tools that aim to make the job easier for you. This post is dedicated to great and helpful Twitter tools. Collected here are the frequently asked questions from users who want to make the most out of Twitter.
How do I optimize my profile?
Choose a definitive name and do not change it. You'd risk to confuse other users, otherwise. Kind of like the main domain name of your site. It could be your own name or the name of your site, but also the name of your company, of a product or a brand or hashtag you are using. It immediately indicates to followers which hashtags are used to talk about you. Upload all the imagery including the profile pic and the cover image. Also include the link (clickable URL) to your site within your profile.
How do I customize the background on Twitter?
You should not forget to match the Twitter background with those of other social networks accounts, in order to get a consistent branding. Using a premade theme from the setting of your Twitter account is fine but if you want to make your background more appealing and original, upload your personal and unique image. To craft your picture you can use a free photo editor such as Picmonkey. It is important that the image size is around 1600×1200 pixels. Moreover images must be smaller than 800k.
How do I get more visibility on Twitter?
From search engine optimization (SEO) to Twitter search optimization. Write down what you do and who you are (blogger, journalist, manager, student…) in a few keywords. Insert a biography, with hashtag and @ mentions: this helps increase the visibility in search. Also make sure you upload a pic profile with an appropriate name: it can be your name or the name of your site. FollowerWonk and other Twitter search engines, use the bio information to help find other accounts.
When should I post?
It is important to tweet when your followers are online in order not to send messages in vain. There are few tools to figure out the best time for you to post tweets, one of these is Tweriod. This app produces reports that will allow you to find out if your followers are online mostly in the morning, afternoon, evening, or on weekends rather than during weekdays. Knowing when the largest number of users is online will help you maximize the impact of each single tweet, both in terms of visibility and click through rate.
How do I write a tweet?
When writing a tweet you should not use all the available space. If you use all the 140 characters available, a user who wants to edit and retweet your message, to retweet it to his followers, will need to cut it. Also you should not send links only without any message. Make sure always to briefly describe the content of the link. When possible try and include an image within your tweet as that may give your more visibility as your image is seen in feeds and is more prominent than a simple text-only post.
How do I see my analytics?
To find out how many times a tweet has been retweeted, shared, and how many people you have reached in a given period of time – also to assess the results of a social media campaign – there is a very useful app called TweetReach. Enter a search for a url, a Twitter profile, or hashtag. As an alternative option try the Twitter Analytics. It's a great and simple tool that shows you several things about your account including growth of followers, more details about your followers but also things like click stats on the links within your tweets and number of impressions your tweets get. A great tool that captures a majority of your social media profile analytics is SumAll – you can most of your social media profiles to it and it will automatically send you a daily snapshot email with all the latest stats.
How can I get more followers?
This is the million dollar question in Twitter. I have a specific post that focuses on growing your followers with many useful and practical tips. See: how to get your first 500 Twitter followers.
How do I create infographics to share?
Everybody loves infographics. Visual.ly is a startup that creates free infographics for those who are not designers or do not want spend time on learning new software to create them. It allows you to customize your infographic in an intuitive way according to the available data. Here is more advice on creation of great and highly shareable images.
How do I find out who is not following me back?
If you want to discover with a click if there are people who you follow which do not follow you back try the app iUnfollow or Justunfollow. Both services are simple and intuitive to use.
How do I manage my day to day?
Once you do get your social communities built up with respectable followings, you'll likely find that managing all of those users and their daily experience becomes your main focus, and this is the perfect time to take advantage of Tweetdeck or HootSuite. A social media management tool gives you the ability to manage your content posting, conversations, and other social interaction all on a single dashboard. Using these tools instead of Twitter.com saves you the time and hassle of working from within multiple accounts, leaving you to focus your time where it counts most.
How do I schedule my posts?
Both Tweetdeck and Hootsuite do allow you to schedule your posts on several social media platforms. Another interesting tools for post scheduling on Twitter is Twibble. It allows you to add your blog's RSS feed and the tool then automatically publishes any new article added to the feed onto your own Twitter profile. It even adds the featured image from your post so it is automatically embedded and displayed within Twitter interface. For Pinterest a great tool is ViralWoot and offers Pinterest scheduling and analytics. See more here on how you can automate and schedule your blogging.
How do I stay on top of conversations?
Tweetdeck and Hootsuite can also help you to stay on top of the conversation surrounding your name or your content or even your broader field. You can easily create new columns which show mentions of your name, or mentions of your URL or mentions of any keywords or keyword phrase that is relevant to your business. This allows you to join in on the conversation with your existing community or strike up conversations with potential new customers. Set them up, monitor them and act when the opportunity is there.

She is not too difficult, but there is quite a lot of work in this course. discussions,midterm/final, research paper,group project, presentation. quantity over quality (in my mind). Her lecture style is a bit odd too. It seems more like she is "sharing" than teaching us. Pretty easy grader. She is very nice/helpful though.
The class is tough! Lots of papers and discussions. You will learn a lot though. She is helpful and willing to abide to your needs beause it is online. Don't expect an A.
Really good prof., you actually learn a lot of useful things in the class. The assignments are very clear. Don't be intimidated by the big project you have to do. You have all semester, unlike most classes you will actually be motivated to start early and it's with a group so if you get good group members the work evens out. NO TESTS!

Ghana is an all-encompassing travel destination that represents the best of Africa. With cheap flights to Ghana, travelers can go on a safari, walk through rainforests or relax on the beach. The country's warm, friendly people and impressive range of attractions make Ghana an excellent place for travelers who are visiting Africa for the first time and want a complete experience in one trip.
Foreign travelers looking for cheap flights to Ghana typically book tickets for connecting flights that pass through London. All international Ghana flights arrive at the Kotoka International Airport in the capital of Accra. This coastal city is the perfect starting point for a vacation in Ghana. Visit Independence Square, the National Museum of Ghana, traditional markets and a host of historic sites. Ghana's coast is lined with picturesque beaches, quaint fishing villages and colonial settlements. One of the country's most notable colonial structures is the slave castle at Cape Coast, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Remains of European settlements are scattered across Ghana along with plenty of scenic natural areas and traditional villages.
While Ghana's colonial relics and castles are important tourist attractions, a flight to Ghana will also put you in one of the world's best destinations for outdoor adventures. Go boating on Lake Volta, or enter the ancient kingdom of the Ashanti people to explore Lake Bosumtwi, a dramatic crater lake formed a million years ago. For an authentic African safari, visit Mole National Park to see elephants, big cats, monkeys, antelope and lions in their natural habitat. For a tamer experience, head into the rainforest at Kakum National Park to walk in the forest canopy and see tropical birds, dazzling butterflies and exotic plants. The number of natural and historic attractions in this coastal country is exceptional, and you can experience all of them by booking a cheap flight to Ghana.

The arrest of an alleged sex offender may solve two sexual assault and kidnapping cases in Lubbock. Santos Mendoza Hernandez is jailed in Garza County Monday night, charged with indecency with a child and unlawful restraint.
Lubbock Police arrested the 35-year-old Friday at South Loop 289 and Slide. He's accused of assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Post on July 2nd. He reportedly asked for directions, pulled the girl into his SUV and assaulted her.
Post Residents React to Shocking Indecency With A Child Case
In smaller communities like Post, news can travel fast. However, the shocking news of an indecency with a child case just began to surface among citizens a week and a half later.
Lubbock Police are working with Garza County authorities to find a possible link to the Lubbock cases. In each case, the man approached the girls outside, asked a question and then pulled them into his SUV. And just like the Post case, the suspect was driving a red SUV.
Carlos Leos lives in one of the neighborhoods where two girls were approached by a predator. He says, "it's not like it use to be, now my daughter won't even go outside without us." Carlos has a 10- year-old daughter...the same age as the young girl nearly kidnapped right behind his house. "I told her, they might be nice, but you come and talk to us or tell us, and she knows," Carlos says.
Last December 28th, two girls, ages nine and ten, went to throw away their trash in the alley when they were approached by a Hispanic man in a red SUV. He asked if the girls saw his lost dog. They went to run, but one girl was pulled into the car. Moments later she was able to escape, unharmed, but months later it happened again...just blocks away.
"I am forbidden to take the trash out." Wendi Coats is taking extra precaution with her young sons after a 15-year-old girl was raped on her block. "They don't go out in the yard without telling us," says Wendi.
In March, a Hispanic man in a red SUV approached the girl on 28th and Avenue U and offered her a ride. When she refused, he pulled her into the car, drove to an alley on 34th and Avenue S, and raped her. She escaped through the passenger door. "It's a little freaky, we watch people," says Wendi.
And someone was watching out for Santos Mendoza Hernandez. Lubbock Police arrested him after a witness identified his red SUV, giving parents in both Lubbock neighborhoods a sense of relief that a possible serial rapist might be off the streets. Wendi said, "I'm glad if they got him."
Lubbock Police are still investigating a possible link between the Lubbock and Garza County assaults. If Hernandez is responsible for the two unsolved crimes, he will face charges in Lubbock as well.

Since it has a 60GB HD, you could probably get it for $250. I'm not interested, though. :o
Jul 18, 2006, 06:13 PM
$250? That seems a little high, doesn't it? I mean, I was hoping to get $200 for it, if possible, but I figured that might have been too high as well.
Anyone else have any thoughts? Is there that high of a demand for these Powerbooks still? If I could get that much, heck, I'd sell tomorrow and just rely on my desktop for a while.
Jul 18, 2006, 06:47 PM
Well all depends. I just got a steal of a deal. A G4 Powerbook 400mhz with 768 mb of RAM, 10GB HD. For $165 shipped. Yes it has a dead IB, but i can replace that. It also has been modified but still. Its a good price. So for that I would be thinking $175-$200 maybe more if it goes on ebay.

Also were you thinking a little less than $200?

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KTIV)- It's Catholic schools week. This year's theme is communities of faith, knowledge and service. Students kicked off the week on Monday with a dance-a-thon.
The students at Mater Dei Immaculate Conception danced their little hearts out to raise money for the local Community Action Agency. More than 240 students, pre-k through fifth grade, packed themselves in the school's gym. Popular dances of the morning included the limbo, the twist, the chicken dance and the hokey pokey. "I like doing the hokey pokey because you just like shake everything and have fun," said Ellie Koob. "We're dancing for the community action agency and we're raising money. If we weren't there we'd probably be doing out math worksheets that our teacher just assigned us," said Makenzie Solma. "It's different because we'd usually be learning math but we are dancing in there instead," said Isabelle Bertram.
In just one hour of dancing, Mater Dei Immaculate Conception and Mater Dei Nativity schools raised a combined total of over $500.

Justes de l'Isere Documentary Screening
Posted by email@example.com on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 in News.
November 15th at 12 noon in Light Hall 208
More than a hundred were made "Righteous Among the Nations" by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. This award honors in the name of the State of Israel, who have endangered their lives during the Second World War to save Jews. At a time when the last of the Righteous are still alive, the museum devotes an exhibition to remember their commitment during the dark years and more broadly to honor those who often remained anonymous and tried to prevent the persecution.
This documentary, featuring interviews with remaining survivors, is an addition to the Holocaust Lecture Series photo exhibit touring campus. Cosponsored by the Cercle de Francias and Maimonides medical student groups, this screening will be at 12 noon on Friday, November 15th in Light Hall 208. A complementary lunch will be provided.


text: Why bother? Well, the obvious reason is that a portable altar is... well, portable. For some people, that's a desirable thing. You may wish to have a portable altar for any number of reasons. Perhaps your job requires you to travel a lot. Maybe you're a college student in a cramped dorm, and space is at a premium. Do you belong to a group that holds rituals in a different place each time? Got small children who will knock over anything and everything that you set out on a table top? Any of these -- and more -- are good reasons to creat a portable altar kit. It's easy to do, and it makes it a snap to just grab-and-go on your way out the door.

One after another, readers have reached out to say "thank you" since we launched the Farm Journal Legacy Project in 2008.That's because the self-reliant qualities that make farmers the strong backbone of our food supply also make it difficult for them to turn over the management reins.
In the old days, the generational transition was simple and direct. The oldest son got the farm. End of conversation. Today, it is not so easy. Times have changed and so has the level of wealth, opportunity and risk in agriculture. It is now paramount for farm operations to plan for future success.
The Farm Journal Legacy Project is a catalyst for the process to begin and is devoted to cultivating multigenerational success. A key part of that is providing producers with a valuable go-to source for the tools to simplify the complex and daunting process of succession planning.
A new grant from Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business, will make planning easier for farmers as agriculture takes on the largest transfer of farm wealth in American history. The funding helps expand the Farm Journal Media editorial commitment to raise awareness of legacy planning and kick off the largest industry initiative of its kind in agriculture.
"We are excited to participate in this and have a grant related to the project," explains Frank Ross, vice president and regional director, North America, Pioneer. "When we look at our customer base today, more than 80% want to continue their operations to the next generation. This is an exciting opportunity for us to bring some additional service and perspective to help farmers."
Even though 80% of farms plan to transfer control to the next generation, only 20% are fully confident in their succession plan. The startling distance between those two numbers is at the heart of what motivates Farm Journal and Pioneer to take bold steps to close the gap.
The philanthropic grant from Pioneer helps make the following efforts possible:
Of course, we will continue to help our case study families create and implement a succession plan. The farm families work with Spafford, who leads the effort, and other experts recruited for the succession team to build a plan that transitions the operations to the next generation. We will chronicle the steps and progress along the way, with the hope that our readers can learn by the experience.
Throughout the case studies and the entire Legacy Project, keen attention will be devoted to helping generations of farmers take action and address key concerns.
"Nearly every farm family in America will face transition issues in the next decade," Spafford says. "One generation might be passing away, another generation might be thinking of retirement and a third might be planning for growth while a fourth is discovering the joy of farming.
"We want to help ensure that both the farm and the family stay together in times of transition from one era of leadership to another," he adds. "Having a comprehensive succession plan in place can quickly make the difference between success and failure."

|Our view
First-year review shows
It's encouraging news that a one-year review of all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use on Three Lakes town road routes turned up few problems — no talk of property owners registering noise or other complaints, and no major safety issues involving motorists or pedestrians.
The town board's review proves that with the right rules in place, ATV operators can co-exist with other motorists on town roads. It also shows that ATV enthusiasts are serious about keeping the privilege of riding on town roads, for as a group, they have successfully policed themselves.
While the Three Lakes Police Department logged 46 incidents involving ATVs last year, Police Chief Scott Lea said the majority of operators traveled at the posted speed limits and were either wearing helmets or had access to them.
The biggest change for 2014 will be relaxation of the helmet requirement, which was recommended by the Nicolet ATV?Club as a way to create less work for law enforcement and cause less inconvenience for visiting travelers. However, riders younger than 18 years of age must still wear a helmet.
Missing from the one-year review was any mention of the club's work toward creating an access route that connects the downtown business district with other communities, namely the town of Hiles and Forest County trails and routes to the east.
The ATV route plan was billed from the start as a way to enhance tourism by bringing outside riders to Three Lakes, where they might use area accommodations, restaurants, taverns and the like. But right now, most ATV riders don't have access to routes in the national forest because they can't use Highways 45 and 32.
Hopefully the club is working with the Department of Transportation on the only possible route, using state right-of-way from Crystal Lake Road to a free-standing bridge over Crystal Creek in order to access North Big Lake Loop Road.

UPDATE: A single gunshot to the torso is what the State Medical Examiner's Office in Louisville has determined as the official cause of death in the shooting death of Michelle Lewis Cotter.
The incident has shocked and saddened several tri-state communities.
It started around 2:30 Tuesday morning. Henderson Police officers responded to a call of suspicious circumstances at 208 Cardinal Lane.
When they arrived on the scene just before 3 a.m., officers say they found 39-year-old Michelle Lewis Cotter with a gunshot wound. Officials say there was massive blood loss.
Emergency officials began treating her on scene and she was taken by ambulance to Methodist Hospital. Medics worked on her for around 45 minutes but she was pronounced dead in the emergency room at 3:59 a.m.
Police say 36 year-old Steven Cotter was trying to kill himself when they arrived. Police say officers tased him to keep him from doing so. He was taken in to custody and is being treated at an Evansville hospital for injuries.
Steven Cotter is an assistant soccer coach at Henderson County High School.
Police say the neighborhood is usually quiet and they weren't expecting to find this situation.
"This is a very nice neighborhood. There is very little crime around here. I was approached by a lady who were friends and asked what was going on. So I think there are a lot of people who are in shock about what happened in this residence last night," said John Nevels with HPD.
"I don't think anyone ever expects a call like this. Like you said, it is a very quiet street. I'm sure all the neighbors know one another, so something like this would be very disturbing to them," said Jennifer Richmond with HPD.
Fred Davis lives right across the street, used to teach with Michelle, and had known her for over 20 years. He was still in shock when he spoke with us.
"Traumatic. She was an excellent teacher and it's just terrible. Terrible," said Davis.
Michelle Cotter, was an assistant dance team coach at Henderson County High School and a guidance counselor at College View Middle School in Owensboro.
While the investigation continues to find out exactly what happened inside this home, neighbors and community members will grieve the loss of a friend.
"She'll be missed in the school system. Just a shock. Just a shock," said Davis.
Henderson County Schools released this statement:
"The Henderson County School family is deeply saddened by this unfortunate incident that occurred early this morning, resulting in the death of assistant dance coach, Michelle Lewis Cotter. The Henderson County High School Admin. Staff Crisis Intervention Team and guidance counselors are in place at the school to assist students and adults. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this time."
The Superintendent of Daviess County Public Schools sent this out Tuesday morning:
DCPS family -We have received very tragic news this morning concerning a member of the DCPS and College View Middle School family.
Michelle Lewis Cotter, a guidance counselor at CVMS, died this morning. News outlets are sharing further details about this tragedy, but I just want to ask you all to remember Michelle's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers at this time.
Our thoughts are also with the staff and students of CVMS and with members of our district Crisis Team, which have responded to provide support and assistance.
Thank you for your continued support of one another as we deal with this sorrowful news.
Mike Gray
Interim Superintendent
HPD says they're still collecting evidence, and no one has been charged in connection with Michelle's death.
When asked if police was naming Steven Cotter as a suspect, Richmond responded, "Not at this point. He is involved of course, but you know, we're leaving everything open."
While a community mourns the loss of a dance coach and friend, officers say they're working hard to find out just what went on.
"We're just trying to follow all the leads we're getting and just try to work up to the events that led to this tragic incident," said Richmond.
Police say Steven Cotter is still in the hospital in Evansville.
We'll keep you posted with any new information.

With the price for Jose Reyes and JJ Hardy seeming to skyrocket, I thought I'd propose a thread for slightly more affordable SS options.
I'm a fan of the cost/production value of Jeff Keppinger and of Jason Bartlett. Seems like the Astros will be shopping Keppinger and could be had for a mid level prospect. Bartlett might not be realistic since he plays within the division and because of the lack of IF depth for SD, but I still wouldn't mind seeing it.
Infante seems to be underachieving in FLA, but the guy's proven to be a gamer in ATL, and if the price is right, could be just the type of player SF needs.
Note: I included Hanley Ramirez in this for the sake of prompting conversation on him. Obviously his value is at an all time low. Is it just low enough for the Marlins to seriously consider moving him? It'd most likely still take a king's ransom, but would it be worth it for a potential Ramirez rebound?

Dying wish
Imagine your 10 year old son or daughter lying in a hospital bed dying of brain cancer. The doctors have told you that all they can do now is make her comfortable. All your sweet baby wants before she meets her maker is to see her daddy one last time. What if you could not give that to her. What if he was in a federal prison camp serving his last year of a five year sentence and they will not let him out even for 24 hours with a guard escort. All we want is to ease Jayci's pain and grant her dying wish. Please sign this petition and help grant Jayci's wish.

A group of Chinese students will spend the next two weeks in Tuscaloosa County.
As part of an exchange program twenty-five students ages eight-fourteen will participate in Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority's summer day camp programs with local students.
The camp coordinator, Richard Davis, grew up in Tuscaloosa and went to the University of Alabama. He has lived in Kumming where the exchange children are from.
Davis said he thought the exchange program could help bridge a gap between the two countries.
"Their parents, it's their hope that they could come back and maybe go to school in America. So that's why this is so important. They begin to build the bridge. The fear of another culture will begin to go away. And who knows these relationships, I believe they'll keep these relationships could be for a long time," Davis said.
The Chinese students are staying with host families while in Tuscaloosa County.

Crazy freestyle action at the Snowpark Lenzerheide! The Freestyle Madness saw more than 50 freeskiers gathering for the QParks Tour showdown in Switzerland. The riders rocked the contest line and its 14m booter with style and flow. Entertainment was provided by the shape crew and their "special raclette" as well as by the Swiss Hip Hop crew DIMO.
EASY CHEESY – it is well known that Switzerland does not only produce good cheese. Once again, they proved the fact that they also produce some very exquisite freeski talents. The Men & Ladies categories were also very well equipped with national and international top riders. The Swiss Hip Hop crew DIMO took care of the proper support and brought the groove to the chill area with their laid-back beats.
The biggest challenge for the contestants was a steep, 14m booter, which really stretched the riders to their limits. Head judge Andi Lehman:"Such a steep kicker is not easy to take for the riders, you need a lot of body tension and power to remain steadily in the air and to avoid going into spin. At large, the riders pulled off a good performance and a great show".
Andri Ambühel used his home-field advantage and won the Freeski Men category of the contest in his home-park. Not only did he thus cream off CHF 600,- but also an invitation to the Austrian Freeski Open, including lift tickets and accommodation. Second-placed Flo Geyer from Germany and third-placed Fabian Braitsch from Austria also showcased pure freestyle madness and massive airtime in their runs! But at the end it was Christian Jenny from Vorarlberg who pulled off the best trick of the day – a Double Corked 1080 Mute.
However, not only the men performed at a very high level, the 22 freeski rookies also managed to impress both judges and the audience with their tricks. The judges commented: "Compared to other Tourstops, there has been a very strong development. Even the youngest contestants pulled out some 720s over the big jumps; such a level is really tough to beat." At the end of the day, Christian Hölzl managed to take victory among the Freeski Rookies with a Double Flatspin 900 ahead of Kim Gubse and Lukas Müllauer.
Among the Freeski Ladies, the favored Lisa Zimmerman managed to take home victory despite of a slam. Thus, the young freeskier from Rosenheim has already won four QParks Tourstops. And she, too, can rejoice over an invitation to the Austrian Freeski Open. Philo Bair and Nici Scheichl took the remaining spots on the only podium with no Swiss involved.
Here's a quick glance at the results:

The Food Security Risk Index (FSRI), released by Maplecroft, is a combination of 12 indicators, measuring the availability, access and stability of food supplies across all countries, as well as the nutritional and health status of populations. Risk factors include conflict, displacement, low capacity to combat the effects of extreme weather events such as drought, water shortages, land degradation, prevalence of poverty and failing infrastructures undermining both food production and emergency food distribution capacity. In 2011, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo ranked lowest in the world:

A somewhat related map, showing the percentages of food spending in total spending:
(source, source, click image to enlarge)
In general, a higher percentage means more average poverty. And also higher vulnerability. If you spend 50% rather than only 10% of your income on food, you'll be hit much harder by price hikes or income loss. And, as a result, your food supply is much more insecure.

WP8 Release Date - The facts
There's a lot of negativity across tech sites regeadring WP8 and the somewhat "late" release date. Many people arguing that Nokia and Micrsosoft need to ship devices NOW! And that WP will fail by being released in November.
Agreed, there are 2 ways this can go. Perhaps as stated, Windows Phone will lose out to a lot customers who opt to buy an iPhone 5 when it is possibly released in the next few weeks, shortly after Apples event. But on the other hand, wp can also benefit by a release after the iphone5.
Lets look at the facts.
Windows 8 Release Date – 26th October
WP8 press reveal (Rumoured) – 29th October
Build conference – 30th October.
Nokia Lumia 920 Release - 2nd November (If all goes to plan)
Thats huge week of Windows news, dominating headlines on tech sites and all over the news, as well as Microsoft heavily advertising W8 and WP8 just after.
Lets be honest, people who are consideirng an iPhone will most likely be existing ios users planning on buying an iPhone either way. By releasing Wp this month it would just be overshadowed and forgotten about to to the iphone5. At least in November Windows can generate its own hype once the iphone hype has slowed down slightly. Plus, a lot of teens dont have the luxury of buying a phone at the drop of a hat like us working adults, meaning if Microsoft can generate enough exictement, then this will be perfectly timed for Christmas sales.
What do you guys think?
On a side note, interesting news for those interested in the Lumia 920.

It is a very quiet building. I also like the fact that it is a secure building; people have to be buzzed in.

However, I Have Not Used Either One As Of Yet. Maintenance Crew And Office Staff Are Pleasant And Helpful. Parking Lot Can Fill Up In The Summer.

Guides / How To
The Cynical Tourist's Guide To...Wyoming
While researching this guide, I tried my hardest to find a comprehensive list of "interesting" tourist attractions in Wyoming. It should come as no surprise that I was spectacularly unsuccessful. In fact, even when I lowered my criteria from "interesting tourist attractions" to "stupid tourist attractions which seem worthy of insincere derision" I still came up mostly emptyhanded.
This should tell you pretty much everything one needs to know about taking a trip to Wyoming (namely: that one should not do it), but I suppose if you're a glutton for punishment you can go ahead and read on. At the very least, I feel I've managed to compile a relatively decent overview of the least uninteresting tourist destinations located in Wyoming. So that's something, I guess.
How To Fight Terrorism
Consider this: One out of every four people will be a victim of terrorism their lifetime. And though this statistic may have just been made up by me, one cannot deny that it is extremely troubling.
But never fear: Because I, and I alone, have discovered the secret to eradicating terrorism. I am fully prepared to give this information away free of charge, as a service to my country, and in the hopes that it will rid our world of Terror once and for all.
The Casually Dismissive Guide To LAN Parties
In case you haven't noticed, LAN (Local Area Network) parties have becoming increasing popular in recent years. And by "increasingly popular" I mean "substantially less popular due to the fact that they are quickly becoming pointless and redundant alongside the proliferation of high-speed internet".
So I guess I'll write a guide about them?
The Cynical Tourist's Guide To...California
When people think of California, they often think of brownouts, laughably overpriced homes, women in thongs accumulating malignant melanomas on beaches, and endless lakes of fire choked with the tormented souls of the damned, whose shrieks of agony will haunt your dreams for all eternity.
Come to think of it, that last one might not be entirely accurate, as I haven't been to California since I was a kid. But I'm reasonably sure I remember staying at a Holiday Inn Select in the 6th Circle (kitty corner from the barbed-wire gallows) where the screams of the unbaptized babies they were flaying the skin off of kept me up until like 2AM one night. Talk about annoying.
But hey, let's go ahead and see what California has to offer tourists, shall we?
7 Ridiculous Ways to Boost Your Self-Esteem
Like many people, I was, at one time, afflicted with crippling self-esteem issues. In the end, it was only through hard work, perseverance, intellectual dishonesty, and the gleeful exploitation of those less fortunate was I finally able to achieve something resembling inner-peace.
So seeing as I have some experience in the field, I figured I'd share with you seven amazing self-improvement tips which will almost certainly help you feel better about who you are.
The Cynical Tourist's Guide To...Wisconsin
There's something about crossing the border from Minnesota into Wisconsin which has always unsettled me. The feeling would probably best characterized as crushing despair tinged with an oppressive pastoral loneliness. It isn't necessarily that the scenery itself is different, it's more of a vague feeling...as if the sadness of its residents has somehow seeped into the soil and air, poisoning it, like fallout from a nuclear blast. Or perhaps more appropriately, like the solvent vapors from innumerable batches of high-grade bathtub methamphetamine.
So it should be obvious that I'm not particularly keen on the idea of visiting Wisconsin for fun and diversion, which makes me just the person to write an overtly antagonistic and highly inaccurate guide of it for nonexistent tourists.
How To Subdue a Nerd Who Has Flown Into a Violent, Videogame-Induced Rage
It is still not uncommon for the general public to assume that all videogamers are socially inept losers prone to uncontrollable outbursts of intense and inexplicable violence. This is incorrect. In reality, only 65-72% of males who play videogames on a regular basis fit this description, so obviously it's slightly unfair to generalize.
Also, this really only applies to these men while they're playing games. The rest of the time, they're normally quite calm (if not downright docile). But place any one of these gamers in a situation where they believe themselves to have been "wronged" or "cheated" during a game, and a whirlwind of grisly violence is sure to ensue. Very rarely will this tantrum seemed to have "come out of nowhere". More often than not there is an easily perceived buildup of hostility which takes place before The Ragestate occurs.
This article should serve to educate the rest of you in the recognition (and subsequent containment) of any videogamer who flies into this ragestate.
The Cynical Tourist's Guide To...New York
Little known fact: There's actually an entire state attached to New York City. This state is commonly most called New York, and it draws literally dozens of tourists each year into it's distinctly unremarkable borders. Granted, many of these people are simply on their way to Pennsylvania to commit suicide (Harrisburg is the exsanguination capital of the world), but this matters little, as even somber pilgrims hell-bent on their own destruction have a hard time resisting upstate New York's many curio shoppes, taffy fountains, and collectible coin emporiums.
So the next time you inexplicably get it into your fool head to pay a visit to the overrated, obnoxious, self-important, overpriced, stench-ridden cesspool known as NYC, you might consider bypassing the Big Apple altogether in favor of it's slightly less nauseating upstate cousin, as there's plenty to see and do there.
In service of this, the following article features an overview of some of the more popular New Yorkian attractions. I invite you to examine it at your leisure.
The Cynical Tourist's Guide To...Georgia
The American South has changed a great deal in recent years. What was once described by Harry S. Truman as "a festering pocket of indescribable filth and stroke-inducing poverty" is now home to a number of modern amenities, including schools, utility poles, and yes, even paved roads. But don't be fooled into thinking that the south has lost it's charm and spunk, as this is most certainly not the case. Those who crave dixie-flavored excitement and adventure need look no further than the great state of Georgia. With its year-round county fairs, dump truck rallies, and whites-only church picnics, Georgia has become a beacon of hope to tourists hoping to score some down-home goodness at a reasonable price.
So read on to learn about some of the wonderful destinations and activities the great state of Georgia has to offer. And if, by the end of this article you're still convinced that Georgia is "just another rivulet of the crusty semen stain on the pant leg of America known as The South", I'll eat my hat. And that's a true confederate promise.

The creator of The Great British Bake Off's ambitious biscuit Dalek analyses the competition ahead of tonight's eagerly anticipated final.
Rob Smart, from Melbourn, was voted off the BBC2 show's fifth round by judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood after his bright blue giant dalek was criticised for being "a little bit clumsy".
The sci-fi fan says it will be an "emotional" evening but he will be watching intently as the passionate bakers go head to head in the show's first ever all-female final.
Twenty one-year-old philosophy and history of art student Ruby Tandoh, will battle it out against chartered psychologist Kimberley Wilson, 30, and Frances Quinn, a 31-year-old clothing designer.
The engineer turned sci-fi baker, whose passion for food stemmed from helping his mother in the kitchen as a child, said: "They are all brilliant bakers, Frances is very strong on presentation but has been criticised as her delivery has occasionally lacked flavour and texture.
"It is difficult to see any weaknesses in Kimberley, she is very strong on flavour and has made great efforts on presentation, apart from biscuit tower week, that was a low point for her. Ruby came in as the least experienced out of everyone but has a natural flair, she's pitched everything at just about the right level, never really overstepping her capability."
The Great British Bake Off has seen 13 amateur homebakers tested on every aspect of their baking skills.
Rob added: "Baking is still a big part of my life, I bake four or five times a week. The final will be emotional as it will be the official end to everyone's journey."
Rob hopes to use his expertise to write a book on baking and chocolate work or foraging for wild mushrooms and berries.
The final is on BBC2 at 8pm this evening.
