Dyke and Marge loved to travel and explored most of the Central and Western states, researching family history and history of the Oregon Trail. They were instrumental in establishing the Paul and Helen Henderson Research Library at the North Platte Valley Museum in Gering, Nebraska. Dyke co-authored and published Sharing Rails, Trails, Tales with Paul and Helen Henderson,a biography of Paul and Helen,. with Marge and brother in law, Ross Boyer. Dyke wrote and published two other books, My Favorites Country Poems, and Maps of Manifest Destiny, which highlights maps from the Henderson library of the Oregon Trail and Pony Express Routes, and includes short stories of historic locations along each stretch of trail.

Asking advice on money making blogs
I am looking for advice on how to start money making blogs. I have seen and heard about these blogs, but I haven't investigated enough to see how I can make a consistent income from having a blog. I know the basics about having a great niche on a unique topic that I would pound out articles on the subject. And hopefully they would be authentic and interesting articles that would keep people coming back to the site to read. I can do that, no problem.
I see that some blogs sell some type of service and/or product, such as an e-book that gives a How-To guide to something (financial independence, wedding planning, vacationing on the moon, etc). I could put something like that together over time. I just don't like the idea of selling advice to people that they can click around the internet and find for free. If I did have one great skill is sales and marketing abilities. I am clever at figuring out ways for a business to get sales going. I have helped numerous businesses get their sales plan going, but some didn't have the energy and fortitude to do the plan. Some businesses need to do direct cold calls to potential clients, and they just do not like to do cold calls.
The next step I see is to make a passive income by setting up Google Adsense, Pay Per Click and affliate income. I can see that there are some possibilities that someone would read an article on my blog, and then maybe click on one of the ads. I rarely do that when I'm surfing the internet. I notice Tynan.com doesn't have ads on this site from adsense, unless I'm just not aware they are here.
I guess there is the possibility that I set up links to other business sites that would pay me if someone clicked over to their site from mine. I would think the chances of that happening would greatly increase if I put their website into some of the articles, and mentioned for the reader to go check out product X on this website. I have met one guy in my area that has a website that has sales in the millions, and he only has one main product line and the rest of his site are other websites with those companies products. He has a team of SEO and Tech guys in his office that he pays them a lot. He told me he spends an enormous sum on website security. He has over 20 employees and his office is buzzing with activity.
I don't want any employees and little to no inventory. I also want to keep my expenses to a minimum.
I checked out the sites for sale at Flippa.com. I am not tech savvy enough to know what is a good deal and what is a scam.
I thought I could get some feedback here, and learn some more from some guys that are actually making money with their blogs. And, maybe someone wants to partner up and we try a few blogs together as a test run and see how it turns out. Anybody interested?

A couple of boxes for xmas gifts. Purple heart sides, leopardwood top, birdseye maple on one end, cherry on the other, and a piece of birch for the bottom. Everything that was sitting in the cutoffs that was about the right size. Two coats of tung oil, a couple coats of shellac, and rubbed with some wax.

Very nice…I like the live edge.
Do you do you finger joints on the router table or on the table saw?

Thanks for the comments.
When I picked up the maple I rooted around to find a nicely figured piece. When you're looking for the figure you take what they have and in this case it was the live edge. When I bought the piece I figured I'd just have to clean up the live edge when the time came. When I finally started laying the peices near each other I decided to leave the edge and see how it turned out. I decided I liked it and I'm glad to hear support for leaving it.
To cut the finger joints I use a router table and a solid carbide upcut spiral bit. I found using the standard 2 flute bits, even a shear cut, blew out the exit and end fingers far too often. With a spiral bit and a backing board I dont have any blow out. I dont need to scribe or tape, or support the end fingers.
The jig I use looks exactly like this one at The Router Workshop Boxjoint Jig.
I used a 1/4 inch bit for the two latest boxes. It's so dang fast and easy I've started making sliding lid pine boxes as gift wrapping for other gifts. I use the jig to cut the finger joints, the bottom groove and the top groove for the sliding lid. Pretty much one setup and one tool.
I set the finger spacing to 1/4, then I cut the grooves for the top and bottom 1/4 of an inch in from the top and bottom. I cut the grooves 1/4 inch wide so the bottom is 1/4 inch thick. I do lower the bit when cutting the top and bottom grooves depending on how thick the sides are.
I do stopped grooves by lowering the piece onto the spinning bit and tipping it up at the end.
If I have a thin lid I'll cut the top grooves on the table saw at 1/8 inch from a single pass on a standard kerf blade.
Minimal setup variations. It's not a production setup but I do try to minimize the change up. Makes it faster and easier for me and lowers the chance that I'll mess up a step.

Design nerds, rejoice: Pantone, the company known for producing and standardizing the world's most beautiful colors, has emerged with a line of iPhone and iPad cases that'll leave boring black and grey cases cowering. Pantone products are awesome, because they show you have an eye for color and design without making you look like a 14-year-old girl.
The ridiculous color codes and incredible colors are in full effect here, making for an iPhone case that brings a sophisticated look to an overwhelmingly bland table. Plus, these make perfect gifts. Not everyone on your list would appreciate that Ed Hardy iPhone case… but who has anything against mere colors? Check 'em out here.

No Warrant? No Problem?

Police are on the streets everyday to protect and serve, but in their mission to duty can they sometimes go too far to make arrests? News Channel 12 has obtained scanner traffic where some Jackson Police Department officers might have stepped out of bounds to get some criminals off the streets. In a WJTV investigation, we took the audio to Jackson Police Headquarters to get answers.
Friday, January 24, 2014, Jackson Police officers are searching for two suspected auto thieves in the South Jackson area along Maria Drive.
Around 2:45 that afternoon, while looking for the pair,
wanted to enter a home where they believed they would find the two suspects.
That's when the WJTV newsroom heard a conversation between two Jackson officers over the scanner. This is a portion of that scanner traffic that we heard.
"Female Officer: Is there supposed to be some more suspects in an auto theft."
"Male Officer: 10-4… There's supposed to be two suspects who came from the auto theft… just knock on the door and if they let y'all in… the best way to get in is.. tell them y'all got a disturbance call and you need to come in and identify everybody in the house. Make sure you ask for their identification and drivers license if they let you in… but just let them know you got a disturbance call over there that way you can get in."
"Female Officer : 10-4"
"Male Officer: Don't tell them you're looking for nobody now, just you know you're coming over there on a disturbance call you heard a woman screaming and y'all just need to check it out… and if any if anybody in the house… see if they'll let y'all walk around and look around… if y'all spot, you know, if y'all see some people just ask for their driver's license or identification."
Did the Jackson officers try to enter a residence under a false pretense to find those suspected auto thieves?
We took the scanner traffic to the top brass at JPD for their interpretation of that scanner call.
We sat down with Assistant Police Chief, Lee Vance for his reaction.
Vance says,
"What it sounded like to me, there were two young officers who were looking for some individuals who had been involved in a felony and there was another officer who came on the radio to give them an alternative way to perhaps get into that house to look for those individuals. To be perfectly honest with you it sounded like it was well intended, but a
well-intended violation is still a violation."
According to Assistant Chief Vance, preliminary reports indicate the officers never entered a home as they searched for the suspects. A full investigation by JPD is now underway involving three officers.
"We're going to conduct a thorough investigation," says Vance, "And listen to the whole tape and pull all the dispatch logs and whatever we find, we'll deal with."
We also took the scanner traffic to Professor Matt Steffey with Mississippi College's School of Law for his own take on the audio to find out if he believes the officers violated any rules or laws.
Steffey says, "What it sounds like is an officer trying to establish pretext for an unlawful search, that is for the search to be lawful they need to have a warrant, which they apparently do not have, they need to have consent which they apparently are not seeking or they need to have exigent circumstances which they are apparently manufacturing."
Professor Steffey says the biggest surprise for him wasn't just what was said, but how it was said.
"What is I think the most shocking is to hear it discussed so casually, to hear one officer coaching others about how to establish the pretext as if it's just an ever day thing, that's deeply disturbing," says Steffey.
At this point, we're still awaiting word from Jackson Police as to whether or not those two auto suspects were eventually arrested. That's part of JPD's investigation that just got underway.
Assistant Chief Vance says this is the first time something like this has come across his desk and he wants to get to the bottom of the matter.
"We don't condone violation of policy, we don't condone violating people's rights and whether it was well intended or not it's an adjustment we have to make to make sure that our people comply with policies and comply with laws, if not then they're not doing us any good," says Vance.
Jackson Police tell us they know the identities of the officers involved in this scanner call. They tell us one is a seasoned officer and the other two are younger officers.
They are also trying to decide if this matter will be handled administratively or through internal affairs.
We'll stay on top of the investigation and let you know where it goes from here.

Spread the word: Convince your co-workers, family members, and neighbors to spay and neuter their pets. If money is an issue for them, offer to pay (if you can afford to) or offer to set up funding from applicable groups. Educate them on vaccinations and good pet ownership.
Volunteer your time: Each
group is different and uses volunteers differently. Most groups
need help answering phones, working at mobile adoptions, working
on special projects or events, or fundraising. No-kill shelters
need people to clean cages and work with or handle the animals.
Groups without shelters need foster homes while looking for a
new, permanent home for the animal. There are many groups, each
with a different set of personalities of personnel or volunteers.
If you dont blend in with one
group, try another.
Click here for group listings in Los Angeles.
Click here for group listings outside Los Angeles.
Foster a nursing mom & her kittens: If you are looking to adopt a kitten, consider taking in a mom cat and her young kittens. Several groups have placement programs available and will show the kittens and/or the mom cat when the kittens reach 8 weeks of age. Animal shelters are always looking for homes for moms with litters. This is a great way to enjoy a litter of young kittens without adding to the population explosion.
Bottle feeding kittens: This is very rewarding if you have time to
bottle feed a litter of kittens. Contact a rescue organization,
or your local shelter to obtain a litter. Shelters do not have
the facilities to bottle feed and usually kill kittens under 6
weeks that are not weaned.
Click here for more on bottlefeeding.
Feral Cats: If you see a feral cat colony whose numbers
are growing, roll up your sleeves and get involved.
Trap-neuter-release is the best option if there is a person
maintaining the cats and if the cats are in a safe environment.
Funds exist in most parts of the country to offset part or all of
the surgery costs. Traps are available through humane groups,
veterinarians, shelters and feed stores.
Click here for trap rental locations.
Taming feral kittens 6-10 weeks of age: They will usually become tame if handled by humans. Call a humane group to get guidance as to how to tame successfully and safely. Kittens under 6 weeks should tame in minutes/hours.
Note: feral is an environmental trait, not genetic! Once a kitten is tame and can be handled, he/she is no longer considered feral.

Greetings earthling. Take me to your leader. ( ´^ω^`)
This is a flyover video of Tokyo. The video was originally created for the Global City exhibition which took place in spring 2004 to commemorate the opening of Roppongi Hills. The concept was to shoot Tokyo from the sky but to do it in a unique way; the city was therefore "scanned". A gyro loaded ACE-601 and a digital hard drive enabled maximum magnification (72-fold) with very little wobble. The video is the one displayed on the high definition screens at Roppongi Hills.
August 2008 NHK Special - Joe O'Donnell is a U.S. photographer famous for documenting the immediate aftermath of the atomic bomb blasts in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. One of the most striking photos was of a boy carrying his dead brother to a crematorium. The photos didn't necessarily bring happiness to his later life. After his death, O'Donnell's son Tyge discloses the photos on the Internet and continues his fathers legacy to insure that people will not forget his story.

OK, I will be the first to admit that dreaming about the draft, new head coaches, general managers and OFFENSIVE coordinators is one of the few remaining fun things to do at the end of a...well awful season. Unfortunately, there has to be a reality check put in place every now and then.
First of all, lets start with the draft. Since the merger, QB's chosen in the top 5 have roughly a 60% chance of being a true success. For every John Elway and Peyton Manning, there is a Jeff George and a Ryan Leaf. Remember, that coming out of college, Leaf and George had all of the experts like Mel Kiper creaming all over themselves just like they are over Andrew Luck right now. That is no guarantee of success.
While not as visable, the O-line is almost as large a risk (Tony Mandarich, and a certain current Ram tackle), and wide receiver is bigger still. Actually, the only thing close to a semi-sure bet is defensive tackle (not end - tackle). So with all of that being said, why in the world would we possibly use the number 1 or 2 overall pick? We have a franchise QB that was rookie of the year last year. In my mind, that already lowers the risk over an unknown college kid going Pro.
We also have at least one quality guard AND tackle. From what I have seen, there are at least 5 potentially very good tackles in this draft. There are at least 2 outstanding guards possible in free agency. Use one draft pick on a top notch tackle. Again, no need to keep this top 2 pick to accomplish this. Kalil is good, but once the dust settles at the combine, I believe there will be at least 3 others who will score in the same range.
As far as wide receivers, I know there are a lot of people sold on Justin Blackmon. The numbers are great, but so is the Oklahoma State University system. Again, WAIT until the combine!! My guess is that there will be a minimum of 2 receivers who will go ahead of Blackmon when all is said and done. Remember, there is a certain Dallas Cowboy who shined brighter than Blackmon that was picked in the late first round, and while his numbers are respectable, he is no megatron or Fitzgerald.
Now to Spags side of the ball. There is no Suh or Sapp in this draft. There are however some very nice run stuffers who should still be around in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I am not crazy about taking DT's in free agency, so I really haven't looked at who is out there. The biggest problem with free agent d-tackles is the price for the good ones. My favorite position in the draft this year is outside linebacker. This class is deep and has speed all over the place. This should be Spags wet dream considering how many of these guys have sideline to sideline speed AND the speed to cover most tight ends and a lot of receivers.There are some nice corners in the draft, but not many. An actual upgrade will cost a 1st round pick. Otherwise, try to build some depth later.
Finally, the issue of coaching. I hate to see Spags go, but I think McDaniels has sealed his fate. Yes, I blame McDaniels. He brought in a completely new system, in a strike shortened offseason, without the players in place to run the system. He didn't even bother to bring in a QB coach for a second year starter who had never handled close to the responsibility required in his offense. I am really hoping we get Jeff Fisher as head coach. I hope ownership brings in a GM to handle some of the admin responsibilities, and forces him to consult Fisher on all personnel decisions. For all I know Fisher may actually keep McDaniels as the OC, but I would all but guarantee he would have him on a short leash with a spiked choke chain! SO, 700 words later, whats the actual point of this rant? Trade the first or second overall pick for multiple later picks, and hire Jeff Fisher and give him the stroke he needs to turn things around. The basic tools are already in place, and with a few moves, this year can just be a bad dream and the Rams can keep building off of the 2010 season.

Authorities say speed and alcohol were factors.

A stumbling economy brings lower mortgage ratesby Tim Manni
Even with the unofficial start of summer past us, we should still be in the midst of a busy homebuying season.
But by now most of us are aware of the economy's persistent issues preventing the real estate market from being anything close to busy, or in other words, normal. Unfortunately for the masses, it is fairly clear that the economy has officially downshifted from a reasonable growth rate at the end of 2010, and present trends don't suggest any imminent uptick.
So, while a stumbling economy means fewer jobs and fewer dollars to spread around, it also means lower mortgage rates.
-Want to learn more? Be sure to read HSH.com's latest Market Trends newsletter-
No matter the product, mortgage rates are down
As of last week, HSH.com's Fixed-Rate Mortgage Indicator –a broad-market tracker of fixed-rate mortgages–found that the overall average rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages slipped back by two more basis points, landing at an average of 4.88 percent, yet another fresh 2011 low.
FHA-backed 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are a huge attraction for first-time homebuyers, and also give low-equity refinancers an option to pursue. Rates for these products also slipped back by two basis points to finish the week at 4.49 percent.
Given the wide differential in interest rates, at least some borrowers should be considering hybrid 5/1 ARMs, whose five-year fixed periods now average just 3.49 percent, down three hundredths of a percentage point from last week. As we have mentioned before, there certainly are savings to be had for borrowers willing to accept some future interest-rate risk.
Will the economy improve?
The major economic indicators failed to paint a bright picture during the first quarter of this year. Forecasts called for the re-reading of the first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report. The hope was to show an upward revision from the meager 1.8 percent annualized rate it revealed last month, to perhaps 2.2 percent for the period.
That failed to occur, and the preliminary GDP estimate remained at just 1.8 percent for the first quarter of 2011. Keeping in mind that the first quarter ended some two months ago this week, and rummaging through the various economic indicators which have become available over the last eight weeks, it seems that the second quarter has not improved much (if at all) on that puny pace.
Mortgage rates could still rise, and fast
That said, do not be one of those borrowers who miss your best opportunity to lock in a low rate because you waited too long on the sidelines for mortgage rates to fall. Mortgage rates always rise faster than they fall, so even a minor economic blip could cause rates to shoot upwards.
Furthermore, the end of the Fed's QE2 program is expected to have some impact on mortgage rates, but analysts just aren't sure which reaction the markets will have. Will the end of QE2 (towards the end of June) cause mortgage rates to increase or decrease?
There are big bets being placed on both sides. Whatever the case, we will move away from the certainty of the Fed's involvement and into a less-certain period, at least for a while. At the present time, interest rates are sliding gently as things continue to show signs of slowing. However, more uncertainty brings risk, and risk usually brings higher interest rates.
If you're ready, act now!
If you're in the market to purchase a home loan or refinance the one you already have, don't sleep on these low mortgage rates because you're waiting for them to fall further. That can be one of the biggest mistakes any potential borrower can make.
While it's understandable that you want the best deal out there, mortgage rates aren't falling all that much from week to week, meaning the additional savings are not all that sufficient. If these current mortgage rates work for your budget, act now before they disappear.

The folks at the Vermont Ski Area's Association are getting ready for a big four day ski and snow board industry trade show in Boston Thursday.
Along with promotional materials, they are also bringing a fund raising plan for victims of Superstorm Sandy. "We are going to go down to the ski show. We have about 30 thousand skiers and riders that are excited for the season and we are going to use that platform to try to raise some money for these people that are in need," said the Association's Sarah Neith.It's called Operation Mountains of Love. People at the ski show will be encouraged to give a $10 donation to the Red Cross. "You can do that via SMS text -- you are going to text 'redcross' -- no spaces -- to 909999," Neith said.
Prizes include lift ticket vouchers or one of five ski and stay vacation packages. Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe is donating a two-day, two night stay. Sam von Trapp said it is a way to give back after so much of the Northeast helped Vermont following Irene. "And this is a great opportunity to reach out to that area that was just so heavily impacted. The Vermont Ski Areas Association is very aware of how many folks we get as well, coming from up from the Connecticut and New York, New Jersey area, so it's great to be able to help out even if it is a small amount, he said.In fact, according to the marketing director at the lodge, 60 percent of their business comes from the New England corridor. Von Trapp said some recent visitors have come up to wait out the power outages following Sandy. "So we have actually had quite a few guests over the course of the last week -- people coming up to us from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey -- people getting away from a lack of power, so it makes it a little bit closer to home when you talk to those people on a regular basis," he said.
You don't have to go the ski show in Boston to participate. There is also an on-line component to Operation Mountains of Love. "You can do that on line through redcross.org and you just send your confirmation email to firstname.lastname@example.com and you will also be entered to win one of the five ski and stay packages that we are offering," Neith said.Sugarbush Resort is also going to be matching donations -- up to $25,000 And Mount Snow will open one lift on Friday, November 9, with all proceeds going toward Sandy recovery.The Vermont ski industry is hoping to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to help people effected by the latest natural disaster to hit the Northeast.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – There's more bad news for the our economy. Unemployment reached a whopping 11.8% in metro Albany in January. While that news is grim, there's also positive economic news for our area.
The University of Georgia ranked 100 of the fastest growing businesses owned by UGA alumni, and three of them are in Albany.
This is the first year the University of Georgia's alumni association has compiled the list. Rankings are based on the rate of growth of revenues for the past three years, and to have three Albany businesses make it on the list is a bright spot in a dark economy.
The past few years have been rough on almost every industry. Law firms across the state have had to lay off attorneys, yet Moore, Clarke, Duvall and Rogers, of which UGA grad Jim Moore is a founding partner, is growing. He said, "We've been able to grow despite the economic downturn through hard work and dedication of our clients and we're just pleased and thankful that's been the case."
It's also the case at Doherty, Duggan and Rouse Insurors. Rick Doherty said, "It's a culture, really, that everyone here has. We're employee owned and that goes a long way. Everyone acts as owners, so we're all pushing each other and setting the bar pretty high and always looking for the next level."
And it's one they've been able to reach. Opening branch offices across the state. Doherty said, "You feel honored, but you feel very humbled and first thoughts are about all the folks that helped you get here." And all the folks that aren't quite as fortunate.
Even while these businesses are growing, they've taken steps to control their spending, making certain the economic crunch doesn't hurt them as well. Leonard Duggan said, "We, like others, have watched our money this year. Even though we're growing, we've had to watch what we do."
In order to continue to grow away from the recession. "Well, we're glad we've been able to buck the trend," said Moore. And have revenues that trend upward.
More than 400 businesses were nominated for the Bulldog 100. Finances of each company were inspected by a third party to determine if they qualified as one of the fastest growing bulldog owned businesses.
Walter Kelley of Kelley, Lovett and Blakey in Albany was also listed on the Bulldog 100.

Child sex trafficking is a problem all over the world and right here in Pima County. According to the group "Sold No More." In the last three months there have been four cases of child sex trafficking in Pima County.
Many in the community are trying to help put a stop to it. They did that in taking part in "Free to Laugh, Laugh to Free. The event took place at Victory Worship Center and used three professional comics to raise money and awareness about child sex trafficking. The comics Bone Hampton, Bob Stromberg and Darren Streblow hit the stage at the church.
This concept began about 4 years ago. The group "Sold No More" figured they could use comedy to spread the word about sex trafficking.
There were at least 1,000 tickets sold. All of the money from the ticket sales will go to the group "Sold No More." That money will be used to fight child sex trafficking in Pima County.

I figured this would be the best place to post this project. first, I want to say that fusion is just awesome. Its my favorite program. I love it! If some other simple modeling features were added such as emboss, text, etc... it would be perfect. I reallly love how you can import obj data as well. Please Autodesk release this as a stand alone app, Ill pay!!
Anyway, I have been working on creating a model of a HK gmg. Im using basic modeling techniques and so far things have been really good. Its still work in progress but Im pressed to complete this model soon to try and have it prototyped into a resin kit.
I havent ran into any issues so far, such as the program crashing or anything like that. I still have a long ways to go but I hope I can receive and give some feedback on the project and fusion along the way.
Wow! That's a nice bit of work there. Thanks for the feedback. Emboss is a great tool!
You mention Fusion as a stand alone app. Have you seen Fusion 360?

RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Seattle Seahawks center Max Unger and defensive end Red Bryant will miss Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons due to concussions sustained last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Unger and Bryant were officially ruled out by the Seahawks on Friday.
It's the third time this season Seattle will be without three starters along their offensive line. Russell Okung has been ineligible to play while on the short-term injured reserve list and Breno Giacomini isn't expected to play while working back from knee surgery.
Lemuel Jeanpierre will get the start at center in place of Unger while Michael Bennett will likely play for Bryant.

A Thief River Falls father and daughter are lucky to be alive, after crashing their single engine Cessna Thursday morning 11 miles west of town.
Pilot Ken Asp and his daughter Mallory went out for a quick flight to check field conditions. But, when they tried to land at their farm's landing strip the cross winds were too strong. They tried to land on a highway near their farm, but they clipped a power line and wound up upside down in a nearby field.
Mallory Asp told Valley News Team's Neil Carlson she feels very fortunate and happy to be alive.
Thursday night the Asp's were using a loader to haul the damaged plane back to their farm.
The crash remains under investigation by the FAA.

By STEPHANIE BEECKEN6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Millions of dollars worth of illegal drugs have been taken off the streets as officials announce the takedown of a cocaine trafficking organization operating in Knoxville and Knox County.
According to the Knoxville Police Department, 29 people have been arrested and two more arrests are expected.
Officials said wiretapping was a big part of why they were able to make the arrests and dismantle the drug-trafficking organization.
KPD and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been investigating the alleged drug ring for more than two years.
For the very first time in Knox County, authorities used wiretapping to get information and build their case.
The Knox County Grand Jury has returned charges against 31 defendants. 29 are out of Knox County. Two people are out of Atlanta.
The suspect have been charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine, marijuana and Hydrocodone tablets within a drug-free zone.
During the bust, officials seized $70,000 in cash, 12 vehicles and multiple fire arms.
Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch said these arrests will make an impact on the streets.
"This organization is out of the way and they are not in our community doing what they were doing," said Chief Rausch. "This will make a huge impact on the flow of drugs in the Knoxville community."
If convicted, those arrested could face up to 25 years in prison and fines from $2,000 to $500,000. The trials are scheduled to start in April.
District Attorney Randy Nichols said law enforcement will continue to use wiretapping to investigate and arrest those breaking the law.
Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch said the wiretapping is legal under the Wiretapping and Electronics Surveillance Act of 1994.
He said people should not be concerned about their privacy unless they are breaking the law.

Colony to reorganize in bankruptcy court
Date: October 5, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort's hotel operating corporation will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Tampa-based U.S. Bankruptcy Court's Middle District of Florida, according to Colony President and General Manager Katie Moulton.
In a press release issued late Monday, Moulton said the hotel corporation, Colony Beach & Tennis Club Ltd., would reorganize its limited partnership in bankruptcy court "to protect the long-term viability of the resort."
The resort, the press release states, is a condominium-hotel operated by a limited partnership and is dependent on the cooperation and funding of certain expenses of the condominium buildings and common areas by its condominium association.
Moulton blames the association's board of directors for "crippling operations of the resort" by not paying and funding certain expenses in an attempt to force the general partner to surrender the resort to the association.
In a released statement, Colony Chairman and owner Dr. Murray "Murf" Klauber, who is also the general partner of the resort, explained his reasoning for the bankruptcy filing.
"This was an extremely difficult and challenging decision to make; however, with the compelling counsel from our experts we feel this step is essential in allowing The Colony to recover from the financial distress the association has forced upon the resort," Klauber said.
The news comes two weeks after The Colony, in its 40th year in business, closed the doors to its hotel operations until further notice.
The shuttering of the hotel was made two months after a federal bankruptcy judge ruled the association's board does not have to assess unit owners $14.1 million in resort repair costs. Moulton said the Colony is appealing the judge's rulings.
Foreclosure proceedings are also ongoing in Sarasota County against Klauber and seven of his resort corporations, alleging they have defaulted on three loans whose outstanding amounts total $8.02 million.
On Friday, Oct. 2, Klauber withdrew his appeal of the foreclosure proceedings.
For the complete story, including how Klauber's decision to file for bankruptcy affects the foreclosure proceedings, pick up a copy of the Thursday, Oct. 8 Longboat Observer.

Former congressional leaders talked about the process of reaching their 1990 deficit agreement that eventually helped bring the federal budget into surplus. Topics included the major leaders in the agreement, and the actions and compromises that ultimately led to compromise.
Former Representative Tom Davis (R-VA) made opening remarks about some of the trends contributing to contemporary congressional gridlock.
At the time of this discussion, current congressional leaders were involved in negotiations to avoid the "fiscal cliff." "Fiscal cliff" referred to impending tax increases and sequestration budget cuts at the end of 2012 if Congress failed to reach a new budget agreement.*"Sequestration," a legal procedure in which automatic budget cuts are triggered, was agreed to in the Budget Control Act of 2011. close

Dec 2, 2012Little Inferno is a unique game which warms the player's heart with the flame of art.
Nov 27, 2012Its central mechanic is truly empty and truly compulsive, and yet the barest, most devastatingly mindless circuit of its interactions is redeemed by the wonderful art and the sly imagination on display.
Feb 4, 2013Little Inferno has a story to tell. It has neither beginning, nor end. It sports but a few characters, and does not care for correct narrative structure. It will leave you with plenty of questions, all of them unanswered. But it will accomplish what few games can. It will mesmerize you. It will awaken your imagination and force you to think of your own ending. It will move you and make you beg for more! [February 2013]
Nov 23, 2012It's surprising and satisfying, but definitely not for everyone. Actually, it's not a standard game and not even close to World of Goo. Recommended for those who enjoyed games like Doodle God or simply love that "special something" Tomorrow's Corporation's titles have.
Jan 8, 2013There's not much of a reason to play it after you've beaten it.
Nov 27, 2012There's enough charm here for Little Inferno to get by, but sometimes you might consider taking its advice and stop feeding the flames.
Jan 6, 2013It's been ages since I wasted 5 hours so pointlessly. I felt like a victim of an exceptionally malicious prank. [1/2013, p.67]

Nov 22, 2012I admit, I expected a very smart puzzle game and what i got was a very casual sandbox and i still liked it.
It's a lot of fun playing around with the mechanics. But I would have given it a 7 at most. But then the ending came (after about 3-4 hours). And never has a game managed to make me question myself and the whole gaming world as much as in the final few minutes of this game. It's true, it's not really a game, it's a statement. An epic interactive story which makes you think and question the way games are played nowadays and how big corporations try everything to pull as much money as possible out of your pocket.
You can also see it as a story of hope, a kick in the a** if you will.
Some people don't want that from a game, i understand that. These people won't like it at all.
This is a wonderful breath of fresh air and will not be forgotten very soon.… Expand
Mar 15, 2013A surprisingly good game! I purchased Little Inferno on sale from the developer's website (Tomorrow Corporation) for the sole purpose of getting the DRM-free version (the fact that it also came with a Steam version is entirely coincidental).
If you are familiar with World of Goo, you will immediately notice that while Little Inferno is not related to World of Goo it is closely related in humor and style of gameplay because the designer is the same.
I won't drop any spoilers, but I will say that if you like puzzles and nonsensical pyrotechnics then you may, in fact, enjoy this game as much as I did.… Expand
Mar 15, 2013Yes, it's a short game with somewhat monotonous gameplay, yadda yadda. The story and ending MORE than make up for it though. I liken it to Portal 2 in that I personally found the puzzles tedious to traverse, but it was well worth getting through them to see the epic bits of the story in between. Much like Portal 2, it's one of those games where the experience will stick with you for a very long time. The gameplay is based around burning items, which drop "Tomorrow Bucks" so that you can buy more things to burn. There are combos to achieve and many items have unique effects when burnt, so that side of the game is surprisingly fun. What I don't like is that you have to WAIT for the items to be delivered. It's not too bad in the beginning when they only take about five seconds to arrive, but for the last items near the end of the game you have to wait around five minutes, which is absurd. There are express delivery tokens which each take about thirty seconds off the delivery time of a single item, that you can get from completing combos and sometimes from burning items. But there are never really enough of them so you will end up running out a lot and having to wait the full delivery time.
The music, is excellent. I actually have some of the OST in my music playlist. The story I won't spoil but trust me, it is very very good. As for the cost, on Steam it has almost halved since the release, now costing £6.99.
I can see why people thought that £12 was a waste of money for this, as it only really takes about three to four hours to complete. But despite all of this game's little flaws, even for that much money I have got WAY more enjoyment out of it than your average generic and brown shooter that costs three times as much, And especially seeing as the price has dropped, I would highly recommend this game.… Expand
Jul 30, 2013It's funny, it's strange, it's novel. This is basically a story that you progress through as you burn combinations of things in a fireplace. There are a 100 combinations to find, and all you know are the combination names. Hmm, cold war combo? What could that be? Must browse catalogs, order stuff, burn! I loved it and it made me laugh.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012The game is somewhat fun, and the visual style is very pleasing. So is the humour. It is a game from the developers of "World of Goo", visually and stylistically they are very similar. However, this is where similarities end. "Little Inferno" is not a game in a normal sense of word, you just take different toys and watch them burn in the fireplace. With over a hundred different toys with different animations you will have some fun indeed, but it quickly get repetitive. You will skim through all toys in a few hours, There's no real challenge. You need to find "combos" (burn specific items together) to progress, and while the game gives you hints on the available combos, it is still largely trial and error. Having to accumulate money to buy toys and wait for them to deliver/restock makes this process more of a burden than fun. The story is thin and unsatisfying. While some fourth-wall breaking adds a pleasant twist, it just is too simple. It doesn't really develop most of the themes hinted through the game.
Overall, while this game can be fun, it definitely a very short one and also a fun not for everyone. Nowhere near to World of Goo.… Expand
Aug 17, 2013This is a completely, totally, and utterly terrible "game". Let me summarize the entire game for you:
You have coins.
You spend these coins on items to burn.
Burning those items gets you coins.
This is the entire game. There are no tricks to this you can just set anything on fire by clicking on it. There's nothing else to the game. It is 100% setting things on fire in your fireplace. Over and over and over again.
There is some attempt to add a puzzle to the game with "combos", where you get a little gold star for burning the right two (or three) items together, but there's nothing special about burning them together other than the specific combo name nothing special happens.
The game is not really even a game so much as it is an utter waste of time. It feels like some terrible social game, as you don't even get the items you ordered instantly but have to wait for them to arrive, just so you can burn them.
The game takes hours to go through and gives you nothing in return. Do not buy this game. Do not play this game. It is utter drivel.… Expand

TROY, N.Y. - Authorities have confirmed a vehicle has struck a utility pole in Troy, causing a street closure and power outages.
According to Troy Police, the accident took place at the intersection of Spring Avenue and Walker Street.
Five people were trapped in their car after they struck a pole with three transformers. Two adults and three children were in the vehicle.
According to the Troy Fire Chief, they kept the family inside the care until they could get the power cut to the live wires, which fell on the car. He said the transformers narrowly missed the vehicle.
Nearly 900 residents may experience an interruption to their power services but National Grid has been alerted of the issue and is repairing the problem. They has an ETA on restoration for around 11:15 p.m.
No one was injured as a result of this accident.

Vancomycin use in neonates and children: evidence-based practice is needed

- Correspondence to Dr Helen M Sammons, Academic Division of Child Health, Clinical, The Medical School, Derbyshire Children's Hospital, Uttoxeter Road, Derby, Derby DE22 3DT, UK; helen.sammons{at}nottingham.ac.uk

Vancomycin is an antibiotic that has been used in clinical practice for many years, but we have a situation where our current dosage regimen has been found to be insufficient to produce the recommended therapeutic levels. Timely studies, such as the one by Zhao et al,1 are working towards providing a firm evidence base for future recommendations. Vancomycin is the treatment of choice for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In Europe, it is used for the treatment of late-onset sepsis in neonates and in children, ventricular shunt or central venous catheter-associated infections. However, despite nearly 50 years of use there are still challenges around its dosage in both the neonatal and childhood populations.
The paper by Zhao et al1 represents a logical investigation into the issues surrounding vancomycin dosage in neonates. Recent work has shown large variability in practice across units in dose, frequency and timing of therapeutic drug monitoring levels (TDM).2 In the neonatal population, vancomycin is used in an intensive care setting, and so the use of a continuous infusion is an appropriate choice for maintaining steady therapeutic levels. The paper takes a comprehensive approach to the development of a dosing regimen. They start with the collection of TDM levels from three units in France, each using a different dosing regime. This showed that less than half the neonates had serum vancomycin concentrations within the recommended therapeutic range (15–25 mg/l). By using population pharmacokinetics analysis, they were able to use sparse sampling from a large cohort of babies, to create an optimised regime and recommendations for TDM. Their final step was to clinically validate their dosing regimen prospectively. This increased the numbers with a therapeutic level to just under three quarters, and all after some dose adjustments.
Their recommendations are for a patient-tailored optimised dosing regimen with continuing TDM at 6–12 h due to the large inter-individual variability. The variables found to be of significance were current weight, birth weight, postnatal age and serum creatinine. Using these identified variables, however, leads to complex calculations for both loading and maintenance dose. This cannot be done by hand, and an excel calculator was used in the study. Future work on the vancomycin dosing regimen must look at the prescribing risks around using such a tool and development of robust safety netting around standard ranges for dosing. A 10-fold variation could potentially exist in the weight of a term baby (4 kg) and the most premature infants (0.4 kg). Previous work has suggested that the use of a consistent regimen of a loading dose of 7 mg/kg, followed by a constant continuous dose of 30 mg/kg/day irrespective of age, gestational age or creatinine level, lead to less prescription errors.3 All these risks should be examined in the proposed future randomised controlled trial of continuous versus intermittent administrations suggested by the paper, along with providing further evidence of efficacy and safety.
The current situation in children also represents a challenge. A recent systematic review in adults has not shown a difference in mortality when comparing continuous to intermittent infusions, but there was a significantly lower risk of nephrotoxicity with continuous infusions.4 Continuous infusions in children in the intensive care setting, therefore, should be considered, but the children most commonly treated are those with neurosurgical shunts or central venous catheter-associated infections. The practicality of treating with a continuous infusion in these children becomes an issue, and intermittent dosing is most often used.
Vancomycin's effectiveness of killing bacteria depends upon the amount of time that its concentration remains higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration of the bacteria (MIC). The breakpoint MIC of vancomycin for susceptible pathogens is reported as <2–4 mg/l depending on the organism. There have been reports in the literature of increasing clinical failure rates of vancomycin, and this has led to a change in practice for adults. The recommendation to increase the target therapeutic levels for vancomycin in children and neonates followed. The predose trough level was increased to 10–15 mg/l (15–20 mg/l in MRSA), but there was no accompanying change in the dosage regimen of 15 mg/kg every 8 h. This has led to confusion among clinicians and many children never attaining a sufficient level of vancomycin during their antibiotic treatment.
Recent US guidance recommended 60 mg/kg/day (15 mg/kg 6 hourly) in children with severe MRSA infections. Following this, Frymoyer et al5 assessed this dose change from 45 to 60 mg/kg/day. They showed a significant increase in initial trough levels with the mean±SD initial vancomycin trough level increasing from 7±5 μg/ml to 9±5 μg/ml, but still the higher dose did not consistently produce therapeutic levels of 15 mg–20 mg/l. The study did not examine clinical outcome, and presently, there is no evidence on improved clinical outcome with an increase in dose or the change in therapeutic levels.
Vancomycin may have been in clinical use for many years, but there still remain many questions around its safe and effective use in neonates and children. Further work is needed to confirm the optimal dose, frequency of dosing and TDM schedule. This should be done in studies that can assess both the safety and efficacy of vancomycin for future practice.

After the day's folderol has wound down, it's time to relax. Planted habitually on the left side of the couch, my wife places on herself an animal-print blanket she sewed, and the then places on said animal-print blanket three animals: two cats and a dog. I sit on the other side of the sofa and we watch TV, check out a movie, read, or gasp! possibly even talk to each other.
If you're looking for wild parties, we're not the go-to place. I'm not sure we ever were, but for a fact, I know we're not now. We're not exciting and that's the way we like it.
Recently, our pattern was most literally shaken up when the ground began trembling.
If you live in earthquake country, you know what comes next. If you don't, there's a mental and emotional checklist one goes through at the first inkling of a temblor.
1) Look for others nearby and check their reactions to decide if you're just dizzy or disoriented, or to get validation that the movement beneath your feet is actually happening.
2) Determine if a large vehicle is rumbling down your street vibrating the entire neighborhood.
3) Check to see if hanging objects are swinging.
4) If indeed you are neither inebriated nor are tanks or eighteen-wheelers patrolling your street, and your favorite dangling knick-knack is making like a pendulum; then commence praying that this now verified earthquake will not be the "Big One."
5) Feel fear rise up in your throat. Decide if you're heading for safety. Wait for quake to pass. Realize how powerless you are in the grasp of Mother Nature.
Steps one through four pass blindingly fast. Number five, however, causes time to crawl, even through most quakes (thankfully) last less than a minute.
Such was the case Sunday night, when according to press reports, "One of the largest earthquakes to hit California in decades rattled the state's northern coast."
We were fortunate. A picture fell from the wall, cabinets flopped open, and our wireless router leapt from its shelf. That was it. We were shaken, quite literally, but aside from a nearby home alarm blaring; there was no major reminder of what just rumbled through our lives when the quaking ceased. Apparently, such was the case for our county.
We were blessed twice.
I do know we need to do more in the area of emergency preparedness but, alas, the veil of denial is thick. We'll get to it "tomorrow." We do have cash stored, emergency kits, canned food, and a plan on whom to call if we're separated.
We didn't need any of those. Label me three times lucky.
I forget that.
Sometimes, when the dryer breaks down; or the price of gas crosses four bucks; or I can't eat as many sugary, doughy carbs as I'd really like; I get cranky. I'm not proud of it; it's just what I do. My inner cranky child stomps his feet and kvetches, "Aw, ain't life awful?"
I need a reminder that at least I have a roof over my head, even if the dryer won't do its thing. Most likely, I drive my car (with overly-expensive fuel) on streets where some must spend their nights. While I'm saying "nay" to the super-size, others beg for what I throw away. As I write this, over 200 families are waiting to hear what happened to their loved ones on a flight from Malaysia and today, an explosion took out a building in New York City.
Yet, I remain safe and sound. With so much that could go wrong, it doesn't. We are far more fortunate far more often than we realize.
Once in awhile, we need to shake up the way we think.

Thousands of Catholic students gathered at Notre Dame Tuesday for Mass.
The reason - the 21st annual All Schools Mass that celebrates the importance of worship in Catholic education.
Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades led the service.
Bishop Rhoades said the mood of Tuesday's service was a bit somber due to the recent passing of Bishop D'arcy.
"He was always invigorated by young people, when he would visit our high schools for example or having these All Schools Masses he just thrived, and the young people really responded to him so well," said Bishop Rhoades.
Students from over 20 area schools participated in Tuesday's Mass.

Students from Quincy Notre Dame visited local elementary schools this week to get students excited about high school.
The pep band, choir, cheerleaders, and athletes were all on hand Friday to talk to the kids of Saint Dominic's in Quincy.
The high schoolers talked about sportsmanship, the things QND expects from its students and invited them to all the sporting events.
QND's Principal Mark McDowell says some of the kids are already turning into young adults, so they should be aware of the opportunities that QND has to offer.
"Well I think especially as you get into the later elementary years, you know you have people that are becoming young adults and they especially need to be aware of the opportunities that we could offer them at the high school level and all the things they could be apart of," McDowell said.
QND students and officials also stopped at Saint Francis, Blessed Sacrament, and Saint Peter's elementary earlier this week.

Tiffany Shlain is the founder of The Webby Awards, co-founder of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and creator of the Let it Ripple: Mobile Films for Global Change short film series. Her films and work have received over 50 awards and her feature documentary entitled "Connected" has been highly praised by The New York Times, among many other publishers. Known for her fascinating TED talks, Tiffany has recently released a TED book entitled, "Brain Power: From Neurons to Networks, from the Let it Ripple: Mobile Films for Global Change series." She has also been recognized by Newsweek as "one of the woman shaping the 21st century". Heavy Chef got the chance to chat to Tiffany about her views on how technology is impacting our lives and what the future holds for women in power over the next decade.
Hi Tiffany. How do you think technology will affect our lives in the future? Will it become more harmful than helpful?
I believe that technology is an extension of us and like us; it can be both good and bad. Technology is a great tool for discovering and sharing new ideas and for building worldwide compassion but we must be careful in how we engage with it so it does not interfere with developing and strengthening our personal relationships. I believe humans and technology are evolving together. That's actually part of the focus on my latest film and TED Book. It is called "Brain Power: From Neurons to Networks, from the Let it Ripple: Mobile Films for Global Change series."
You speak about the beginning of a participatory revolution. Can you unpack this for us?
Well, there are more than two billion people on the planet online and now that cell phones are leap-frogging the traditional infrastructure that was once needed to get on the Internet, that number is steadily increasing. It might be just five to seven years before we have everyone on the planet online who wants to be. A time when we're all able to participate, collaborate, contribute, learn, and communicate through this global infrastructure together. That's the participatory revolution. We're at the very beginning right now and I'm very excited to see what will be possible, like the ability to tackle some of the world's problems as a global community, once we're all online participating and contributing. It's been proven throughout history that innovation has occurred when people from different perspectives come together around ideas. Matt Ridley wrote a great book about this called "The Rational Optimist." Now we have this global framework for participation.
I just hope that we all don't get global ADD before that happens. I worry sometimes about how we're online. To stay balanced, I unplug one day a week with my family, which has changed our lives. We've done it for almost two years now. If we can mindfully use technology and disconnect when we need to, I think there's real potential there for everyone.
'A Declaration of Interdependence' speaks about shifting from independence to interdependence. Do we lose our independence as we become more interdependent, and can we be both or only one?
I think you can be both. I think the value of an interdependent system is that there are unique points of view that are contributing to this interdependent network, and that's where things get really interesting. So I don't think you lose yourself. I think you just have more of an awareness of how you fit into the larger picture and how your unique perspectives fit into history and into a global picture. It just gives you more context.
I do think there is sometimes lack of attention. I think we are training our brains to have a shorter attention span with technology. That's the potentially bad part. But again, this goes back to my need to unplug at least one day a week so I can remember this other mode of thinking where I'm very focused. Humans are very social creatures and we require authentic connection for survival. Ultimately once we get married and have kids, all of those things will require real attention. When you're not paying really good attention to your marriage or your children, things start to fall apart. So the glue that holds us together is real attention. So I don't think that's going away. We just have to be mindful about the way we engage with technology.
Statistics show that even though women have the potential to be the leaders of the future, they are still a really small minority in the workplace, at least in top positions. What do you think will bring about a tipping point?
I think we need to change the framework to what is considered a top position. Are we going to be able to work 80 hour weeks at a corporation that's away from our children? No. I really feel like the framework that we currently live in is very patriarchal.
I'm a mother and I spend a lot of time at home, but I'm also trying to figure out how to be very efficient with my time for work. I'm trying to scale the impact of my work so I'm working less but having a greater impact. I think in a lot of ways, women are just going to need to figure out how to use technology to leverage their impact, but I really don't know if we're going to all be like world leaders in 50 percent of political systems. I just don't know if that's going to happen because women have children and children are always going to take precedence over other things. They just do.
We're also raising the future of this world. So I think participatory husbands, I think redefining what contributors to our society are and kind of re-imagining a framework where women can participate in a more meaningful way.
You mentioned filmmaking in the cloud – what does this mean and how will it affect traditional filmmaking?
Abraham Maslow said that if you have a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail. And I've kind of updated that statement if you have a camera in your hand everything looks like a story. Right now, there are more than two billion people with cell phones and soon they're all going to have cameras. They don't all right now, but the ability for people to all collaborate creative movies together is very exciting.
Cloud filmmaking is a process that invites people from around the world to collaboratively create impactful films about issues and themes that connect the global community. It started out as an experiment with the first film in our "Let it Ripple: Mobile Films for Global Change." The response we received from our first call-for-submissions was fantastic, and with each film we get more and more contributors. I authored a Cloud Filmmaking Manifesto earlier this year that talks about how my team and I came to create films through this collaborative approach. You can read it here.
You founded the Webby Awards – what do these awards recognize?
The Webby Awards is a leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, including websites, interactive advertising and online film and video. It recognizes the best of the web in a multitude of categories from all over the world.
Lastly, we heard you have worked with Harrison Ford. What can you tell us about him that would surprise us?
I don't know if this would surprise you, but I've worked with a lot of actors, and he was like a one-take wonder. He would just nail it on every take, it was amazing. I grew up on Star Wars, and I just took my kids to the 35-year anniversary. He was the one in Star Wars that used to make my heart beat faster.

- Report of the findings from a panel of the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) regarding drug bioequivalence therapies. According to the report, the purpose of the Drug Bioequivalence Study Panel "was to examine the relationships between the chemical and therapeutic equivalence of drug products and to assess the capability of current technology -- short of therapeutic trials in man -- to determine whether drug products with the same physical and chemical composition produce comparable therapeutic effects" (p. 5). digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39335/

He's probably going to at least start the playoffs as our #1, and I don't think he has one yet, which blows. Two relations come to mind with his last name, one which barely sneaks past the offensive radar in me (I'm half jew, change a letter in Hiller's name to solve the puzzle). The other is Killer. I don't know how to put it, but he needs something, cuz his mask looks rather plain, and we need to be thinking long term with the kid. I kinda like the concept of Killer too because he could put some art of "The Killer" from Wanted, from the graphic, which would look badass. Can't find a good pic online, but here's a figure from the graphic. Sick yeah?
Anyway, probably lame to others. Any ideas? Someone already use one?
