Human remains were found behind a vacant home on Laconia Road in Pine Hills on Tuesday afternoon, and the death appears suspicious, deputies said.
The remains of what is believed to be a female were found at 5804 Laconia Road, off Hastings Street at 2 p.m.
Deputies were called to the scene and saw vultures flocking to the body. The remains have been there for several days, deputies said.
They are interviewing witnesses to gather information.
The person has not been identified.

In 2004 Piazza Sempione had the pleasure of working together with internationally acclaimed artist duo Vedovamazzei, formed in 1991 by artists Simeone Crispino and Stella Scala. We asked them to develop a unique and exciting project which they penned "Notebooks", a series of 71 notebooks of drawings interpreting Piazza Sempione, a sort of diary of our brand and its daily life.
The final work of art consisted in 71 notebooks with drawings of the Autumn/Winter 2004-2005 and Spring/Summer 2005 collections, as well as other aspects of our company that struck the artist's interest: our headquarters, showrooms, fabrics, decorative elements and other various elements. The drawings were executed with watercolour and then carefully cut along their silhouette, causing them to literally pop-up from the pages of the open notebooks, similar to three-dimensional greeting cards.
"Notebooks" became the basis for several of our communication activities that year, such as the Autumn/Winter 2004-2005 advertising campaign and the press presentation of the Spring/Summer 2005 collection. We also organized an exhibition of the complete and original work of art in our Milan headquarters, receiving momentous acclaim from not only the general public but also from the art world.

Two years after a devastating fire left nothing but ashes, the Sissonville Volunteer Fire Department finally has a new place to call home.
It's been an emotional journey for not just the volunteer firefighters but people in the community, too.
The new station cost $1.2 million to complete. It's named after retired Chief Thomas K. Johnson.
"It's a whole new beginning, whole new beginning for everybody here and everybody else that is willing to come out and enjoy the fire department," said firefighter Will Reed.
Assistant Chief Tim Lilly said one of the best parts about the new station are the toys that are housed inside.
"This is actually the bay area that has the capability of a ladder truck, the capability of six trucks."
He said the trucks are all 2011 models.
"They were custom built to our specifications," he said.
Not only did the department have to replace its trucks and vehicles, but fire gear, too.
"Long term, this facility will serve this area for many years to come," said Kanawha County Commissioner Dave Hardy
Donations both big and small came in from all across the country to help with the rebuild, including one from young Josh Shaffer, who donated his allowance to the project.
"I wanted to help," he said.
The new station is located on Call Road, within one mile of Interstate 77.

Wingsuit FAQ | Phoenix Fly
1. Prerequisites for wingsuit flying:
To fly a wingsuit you must be a current, licensed skydiver with a minimum of 200 freefall skydives.
Its recommended to seek out one of our Phoenix-Fly Coaches for expert guidence and training for your first wingsuit flight.
Its important to realize that 200 skydives is the minimum in which you could have experienced and learnt enough to safely fly a wingsuit. Do realise it's not about gathering 200 skydives as a number, its about aquiring the skills and experience contained within those jumps. More experience is always better.
The rules on making a first wingsuit jump may vary in some countries. Sometimes requiring up to 500 jumps in total or at least 200 to 250 jumps in the last 18 months to be regarded current. Please consult your local skydiving governing body for more information.
2. I'm not a skydiver, where do I start?
Contact your local skydiving centre and maybe try a tandem skydive, if you like it you could take the license course (called an AFF course) and start working towards the 200 jumps you need.
www.wingsuitschool.com has more information on the steps to follow towards becoming a wingsuit skydiver or basejumper.
3. I'm a skydiver but don't meet the requirements yet / What kind of drills and skydives can I do to prepare myself for my first wingsuit flight?
From Phoenix-Fly we recommend not to focus on trackingdives, but actually try and get a broad experience in what the sport has to offer. Each dicipline teaches you valuable skills that easily transfer to wingsuit flying later-on in your skydiving career.
4. I've done 150 jumps in the last 12 months, why do I need to have 200 jumps before I can jump wingsuit?
Like any thing else you take into freefall, be it a sky-board, a camera helmet or a wingsuit, it makes the skydive more complicated and therefore more demanding. The wingsuit restricts your movement and adds complications to your exit, freefall, deployment and ability to deal with some malfunctions. 200 jumps is not a golden number and you may have to get a bit more experience before you are able to jump a wingsuit for the first time.
5. Okay, I meet the requirements what do I do next?
To make your first wingsuit flight it is highly recommended you talk to a Phoenix Fly wingsuit coach.
The coach will be able to explain the required procedures to you and make sure you have understood them correctly. They should also be able to provide you with a wingsuit suitable for your first flight experience.
6. There are too many suits to choose from, how do I know which one I should buy!?
Check out the descriptions on the product page and also the wingsuit selector guide.
7. What equipment do I need to fly a wingsuit?
In addition to your rig and wingsuit the following are recommended:
- BOC deployment system (no pullout or bungee collapsible PC)
- A (large) docile main canopy, especially for your initial jumps. 7 cell recommended.
- (open face) Helmet
- Goggles
- Wrist mounted altimeter (chest mounted altimeters can give false readings)
- Audible altimeter
- Hook knife, mounted in a location other than your legstrap (legstrap will be difficult to access inside the suit)
Optional equipment:
- Freefall computer to record descent rate (e.g. AltiTrack, ProTrack etc)
- GPS unit (to record 3D flight path of wingsuit to calculate glide ratio)
If you intend to perform many wingsuit skydives you could consider the following modifications to your skydiving rig:
- Longer bridle
- Slightly larger pilot chute
On some rigs with a very deep tray its also possible to have a rigger add dynamic / open corners to assist in easier extraction of your bag.
Newer stowless bags have also shown a better
8. I want to do Wingsuit BASE jumping!
Wingsuit BASE jumping is an extremely dangerous activity that has claimed several lives so far. You must be an experienced BASE jumper and experienced wingsuit pilot before attempting to combine the two. For further information check out the "Advice for Starting Wingsuit BASE" ::here::
9. This FAQ didn't answer my question!?
Then email us ::here::!
Welcome to the flock!

Great size and excellent features. Particularly like the straps and basic padding.
- Size
- Multiple zippered compartments
- Ease of entry
- Color (curry for me)
- We'll see how the bottom of the pack wears
- Sternum strap minimally adjustable
This replaces an Osprey day pack I've had for years. Excellent decision. All the features and convenience (and quality) of the Osprey in a much better size. Kelty designers must have had their wish lists handy when decisions on features were made. Can't think of anything they forgot.
I'm a fan — and given the longevity of Kelty products, I'll be using this one until my grandkids talk me out of it.

When your point guard blocks their star forward, it just might be your night.
The game started tight. Tennessee opened up a brief early lead, but Rice started with hot shooting, making over 70% of their early shots and opening up a 20-16 lead by the under-12 timeout. And that's when the rails came off. From a bucket that made for a 22-16 lead at 11:42 to the end of the first half, Rice made all of one basket (at 3:00 to go) and three free throws. In the meantime, Tennessee scored 29 points to go to the locker room up 45 - 27 and end any thought of an upset. Like against Georgia Tech, the first half was keyed through Isabelle Harrison, who had 12 points and 7 rebounds to lead the team.
When the teams came out of the second half, Andraya Carter provided the play that set the tone for the route: Rice ran a set play to give Kuster an opening for a shot, and Carter hustled over for a block that left everybody amazed. From that point over, Tennessee simply ran over Rice. With 25 second half rebounds, 18 fast break points, 30 paint points, and 23-35 shooting, they showed a killer instinct that has not always been present at Rocky Top. The end of the game was capped off by a three-point shot by Taber Spani, the one Lady Vol who had a rough offensive night (1-7 from the floor overall).
The team had only one turnover in the first half, and six all game long (most of which came late); with 24 total assists, their 4.0 A/TO was one of their highest such marks in a very long time. In other brief stats, Tennessee led in rebounds (41-24), steals (14-1), blocks (5-2), and assists (24-4). It was a very good night for stats that are indicative of good team play, which is one of the brightest signs that Lady Vols fans could hope for. There will very likely be "growing pain" games this year, but overall the team looks like they're committed to Holly Warlick and very enthusiastic about the season.
Team leaders: Bashaara Graves led the team in minutes (26). Simmons led in points (22) on 8-12 shooting from the floor, as well as steals (4). Izzy Harrison had 14 rebounds and 2 blocks. Kamiko Williams gave 6 assists on the night.
Enjoy the eye candy:
Next up is Miami on the road on Sunday at 2 PM EST. A win would go a long way towards making the Chattanooga loss look like a fluke and give a lot of reason to be optimistic about the prospects for this team down the road.

GREENPORT, N.Y. - The Columbia County Sheriff's Office arrested a man on Wednesday afternoon for allegedly abusing a 4-year-old child two years ago.
The Sheriff says in November, the now 6-year-old victim reported to relatives that 26-year-old Joseph Race, of Greenport, allegedly had inappropriate physical contact with the victim. The child's mother contacted the Sheriff's Office which started an investigation, during which Race admitted to his actions regarding the victim.
Race was a family friend and the alleged sexual abuse occurred during the summer and fall of 2010 when the family was staying at Race's home.
Race has been charged with Criminal Sexual Act 1st-degree and remanded to the Columbia County Jail in lieu of $20,000 cash or $50,000 bond.
Anyone who may have information regarding Race is asked to contact Sheriff's Investigators at 518-828-4316.

Hooters in Thousand Oaks?
We recently learned that Hooters restaurant has inquired about moving into the Janss Marketplace. As longtime residents of Thousand Oaks (34 years), we are more than dismayed that this request would even be considered. We were always proud of our community and the wholesome environment for our children. We now have three young grandchildren growing up here and would not want to see a restaurant such as Hooter's in our community.
To the Thousand Oaks City Council and Planning Commission: Please discontinue consideration of allowing this unwholesome influence on our citizens, especially the younger ones who may not be mature enough to make good choices. If this is approved, what is the next downward step – a topless bar?

By Naomi R. Henderson
Fruitful discussions start with powerful questions.
Traditional focus groups have four distinct stages: introÂduction, rapport building, in‑depth investigation and closure. A key moderator task is to frame good questions that get below top of mind and help clients see and experience the world of consumers in each of those stages.
The role of any question in a focus group is to elicit inforÂmation that helps reach the study objective, and every quesÂtion should be on the path toward that goal. Consider a study about catalog shopping. In the introductory stage the quesÂtions are meant to give a snapshot of the lives of respondents.
"Who lives at home with you?"
"What are your hobbies or free time activities?"
"How many catalogs came in the mail this week so far?"
Moderators need to be like neurosurgeons cutting into the brain: They need to know exactly what area of the gray matter they are working on.
When the moderator moves into the rapport-building stage, questions in this session should be easy to answer and allow respondents a chance to flex their answering muscles.
"What factors make you keep a catalog to look at again later?"
"Catalogs come in small formats [size of Reader's Digest] or larger [size of a Time magazine]. Which size is your preference?" And for what reasons?
When the session moves into the in‑depth investigation stage, the questions tend to become more precise and specific. In this stage, each question should clearly support the study objectives and ideally build on the other questions.
"Are any items or factors missing from the catalogs you like?"
"See this foldout page format? What are your thoughts about this layout?
There are no readily available, preformed answers for any of the questions above. As long as the questions support the study objectives, and can be answered, they are appropriate. The degree to which each question produces a rich body of data that can be analyzed is the measure of the value of that question.
Questions for the closure stage are typically general in nature and are meant to close down the conversation:
"What advice would you give companies that regularly send catalogs to consumers?"
"Tell me about any new insights about catalog shopping that you are taking away from the discussion today?"
Drawbacks of Poor Questions
Poor questions exact a price, sometimes a very dear one, and the research can suffer in a number of ways:
Study objectives are not realized.
Respondents don't have enough opportunities to deliver perceptions, opinions, beliefs and attitudes
Respondents get bored.
Respondents talk, but don't really answer the questions.
Client sends in lots of notes in an attempt to focus the lines of questions.
Moderator is under a lot of stress and must "pull teeth" to get data out of respondents.
Clients feel their needs are not being met.
Qualitative research gets a bad name, which pushes clients to rely only on quantitative measures.
So what is the best way to ensure that none of this hapÂpens? Careful crafting of effective qualitative questions on the part of the moderator. Moderators need to be like neurosurÂgeons cutting into the brain: They need to know exactly what area of the gray matter they are working on when they ask questions and manage group dynamics.
Good focus group research requires several key elements:
(1) a clear purpose statement, (2) the right respondents, (3) a trained moderator, (4) an appropriate research setting (a safe place for communication) and (5) the right questions. Of these five areas, the last one has the most impact on the success of the session.
The Power of Effective Questions
In the soft brightness of fluorescent lights, eight responÂdents wait earnestly for the focus group session on catalog shopping to begin. Each of the eight receives more than 10 catalogs and spends more than $100 each month on items from catalogs. The moderator gives a clear statement of purpose: "We are here tonight to talk about catalog shopping and to look at an idea for a new catalog format." General guidelines for participation are given and disclosures are made about taping and the one‑way mirror. Respondents introduce themselves, and the moderator easily builds a genial, warm rapport with the respondents. (Note: In these scenarios, the moderator's questions are in italics.)
Scenario One
The moderator asks the first research question:
"Why do you shop from catalogs?"
One participant answers, "Because it is convenient."
"How is it convenient?"
"It saves time—time you would spend driving to the mall."
Another respondent says, "Because there are more choices."
"More choices than what?"
"Than what you can find in the mall or in department stores."
"I just like the idea of having the world's goods just a phone call away and the books themselves are fun to look at!"
"Fun, how?"
"You know, you get a cup of good coffee, look at your catalogs. That's a form of entertainment."
On the surface, the question and follow‑up probes produce responses that may help achieve the study purpose. SomeÂtimes respondents add on comments to ones made by another participant. It certainly sounds like a focus group discussion. In addition, the original questions meet qualitative research standards of asking easy, non-threatening questions at the outset of a focus group.
However, if the moderator continues down this path of questioning, what evolves can set a "tone of inquisition," and the focus group will soon fall into an "I ask, you answer" patÂtern, rather than one that allows respondents to interact more spontaneousl and reach for answers below "top-of-mind." The hallmark of a good focus group is respondents regularly talking to each other, without shielding their reactions
Scenario Two
The scenario would develop differently if the moderator began by asking the following:
"What role do catalogs and catalog shopping play in your life?"
"I can't wait to get home to see what new ones have come, I love looking at all the items and marking the pages. For me it is a wish book that I can use to make my wishes come true."
Another respondent takes off on a tangent: "While I like cataÂlogs, I'm feeling inundated these days. If you order something, they put your name on other lists and then you get these strange catalogs with items you would probably never buy."
Yet another respondent takes a different tack: "Yeah, but sometimes you get to see some catalogs for things that you would never see otherwise."
The respondent who first spoke up says, "That's the thing about catalogs. They are convenient and you get all these wonderful options, but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing."
Another respondent says, "They are an important part of my life. Talk about convenient! I can't get out to the malls as easÂily as I used to. With two kids under six, catalogs are my salÂvation. I can give great gifts that take only minutes to choose and I get some unusual things that you can't find at the mall.
From one short question, the responses continued like a tennis match–a true interactive qualitative research process.
Analyzing the depth of the answers to the initial quesÂtions in the two scenarios, it is clear that the Scenario Two questions produced a waterfall, with many opportunities for respondents to provide rich detail for clients.
Given the constraints of focus group research (two‑hour time frames, the need for relatively equal air time for responÂdents to answer all questions, and multiple client issues to cover), it is critical that every question in a focus group be an effective question.
The challenge for researchers is crafting every question carefully so the best use is made of qualitative research tools. It is my wish that this article provides concrete examples in how to do that.

Playing Hardball: Campaigning for the U.S. Congress (Real Politics in America)by Paul S. Herrnson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Drawn from cutting-edge research by leading scholars in the field, this book focuses on the major obstacles politicians must confront when competing in congressional elections. The book examines candidate emergence strategy and targeting, fund-raising guidelines, negative advertising and voter mobilization. It provides readers with a manageable perspective on congressional elections and real-life American politics, enhancing readers' ability to make the connections between the theory and practice of politics. The essays address the campaign process and decision-making, the candidates, campaign finances, campaign staff and voter communication techniques. For individuals interested in the election process and political campaigning.
The books in this series are intended to bridge the gap between academic scholarship and the popular demand for knowledge about politics. They illustrate empirically-supported generalizations from original research and the academic literature using examples taken from the legislative process, executive branch decision making, court rulings, lobbying efforts, election campaigns, or protest movements. The goal of the series is to convey the best that contemporary political science research has to offer in ways that will engage individuals who want to know about real politics in America.

The polls will remain open, but congratulations to Joe Montana as he has rolled to an impressive victory. Maybe it's not quite an Andy Lee-esque whooping, but Montana definitely stepped above and beyond his counterparts. Considering the talent the 49ers have produced at the quarterback position, I thought it was worthwhile to include a backup quarterback on our all-time 49ers team.
Steve Young (1987-1999): As it was fitting for Montana and Young to duke it out for the starting position, it' would be even more fitting if Young ended up as Montana's backup. Young finished his career with the greatest QB rating in NFL history. While he may not have had the speed of a Vick, Steve Young was one of the truly great rushing quarterbacks in NFL history. Combine that with uncanny accuracy and you're talking about an all-around threat rarely seen in NFL history.
John Brodie (1957-1973): Brodie finished his career third in the NFL in all-time passing yards and ranks as one of the greatest players NOT in the NFL Hall of Fame. Brodie ranks second in 49ers history in passing yards and third in touchdowns, while playing for plenty less than stellar teams.
Y.A. Tittle (1951-1960): While Tittle spent plenty of time in Baltimore and New York, his formative years came with the 49ers as a 4-time Pro Bowler. Considering the slowly developing passing game back in the day, 16,000+ yards in San Francisco is nothing to sneeze at.
Jeff Garcia (1999-2003): While we might all agree Jeff Garcia was not the greatest quarterback on straight numbers, he certainly ranks up there for what he did in spite of his shortcomings. Garcia was rescued from the CFL by Bill Walsh in one of his best moves since trading for Steve Young. Garcia was a 3-time pro Bowler in his five seasons and in spite of such a short tenure, he ranks 4th in franchise history for passing yards and fifth in passing touchdowns. While he was certainly not a scrambler the caliber of Steve Young, he was quite fleet of foot, which helped for his lack of traditional passing tools. And the fact that he had to put up with T.O. certainly counts for something.

|Immigrants afraid of cops
|Immigrants afraid of cops
|Written by Mark Nichols
For years there's been tremendous debate about whether draconian, "get tough" immigration enforcement by local law enforcement is good for public safety or not. The answer generally depends on what's more important to the individual you're talking to- illegal immigration violations or traditional public safety. For the immigration hard-liners a policy's impact on overall public safety is a secondary concern to the symbolism, however ineffective or costly it may be, of laws like Arizona's SB-1070. But if you're interested in whether those policies make immigrants, undocumented or not, more or less likely to report crimes the data is clear.
A new report presents findings from a survey of Latinos regarding their perceptions of law enforcement authorities in light of the greater involvement of police in immigration enforcement.
Lake Research Partners designed and administered a randomized telephone survey of 2,004Latinos living in the counties of Cook (Chicago), Harris (Houston), Los Angeles, and Maricopa County.(Phoenix).
The survey was designed to assess the impact of police involvement in immigration enforcement on Latinos' perceptions of public safety and their willingness to contact the police when crimes have been committed.
The survey was conducted in English and Spanish by professional interviewers during the period November 17 to December 10, 2012. Survey results indicate that the increased involvement of police in immigration enforcement has significantly heightened the fears many Latinos have of the police, contributing to their social isolation and exacerbating their mistrust of law enforcement authorities.
Key findings include:
• 44 percent of Latinos surveyed reported they are less likely to contact police officers if they have been the victim of a crime because they fear that police officers will use this interaction as an opportunity to inquire into their immigration status or that of people they know.
• 45 percent of Latinos stated that they are less likely to voluntarily offer information about crimes, and 45 percent are less likely to report a crime because they are afraid the police will ask them or people they know about their immigration status.
• 70 percent of undocumented immigrants reported they are less likely to contact law enforcement authorities if they were victims of a crime.
• Fear of police contact is not confined to immigrants. For example, 28 percent of US-born Latinos said they are less likely to contact police officers if they have been the victim of a crime because they fear that police officers will use this interaction as an opportunity to inquire into their immigration status or that of people they know.
• 38 percent of Latinos reported they feel like they are under more suspicion now that local law enforcement authorities have become involved in immigration enforcement. This figure includes 26 percent of US-born respondents, 40 percent of foreign-born respondents, and58 percent of undocumented immigrant respondents.
• When asked how often police officers stop Latinos without good reason or cause, 62percent said very or somewhat often, including 58 percent of US-born respondents,64 percent of foreign-born respondents, and 78 percent of undocumented immigrant respondents.
But despite the fact that immigration form the south is at net zero and does not look like picking up anytime soon as the result of the jobs crisis, as well as recent decisions in federal court against Maricopa County Sheriff and anti-immigrant crusader Joe Arpaio, you can be sure that illegal immigration will always be the most pressing public policy issue for some regardless of the numbers.

The digital camera has become a common accessory and is the default camera for most photographers. They are convenient, less expensive, aren't limited by the number of shots on a roll of film and loaded with features that help you take good photographs. The ultimate goal is to take good photos with your camera, and there are a number of features to consider the merits of when shopping for a camera.
Usage Patterns
Important considerations for your camera are how often you'll use it and under what circumstances. Digital cameras boil down to "point-and-click" cameras (which are now integrated into smartphones) and larger Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras that have more options and, most importantly, the ability to swap out lenses for specific shots and photo compositions. Casual photographers can get by with most point-and-click cameras with 4 megapixels or more (which, as of November 2012, is more than 90 percent of the cameras on the market). If you want to shoot landscape photography, or portraits under controlled lighting, a DSLR starts to make sense -- but there's no need to go to a 16.7 megapixel camera unless you're a professional photographer.
Megapixel Myths
A common belief among camera purchasers is that more megapixels is better. The number of megapixels is only one factor in choosing a camera, and not even the most important factor. According to David Pogue of the New York Times technology section, the primary benefit of megapixels on a camera's sensors is the ability to crop out unwanted parts of the image and zoom in. The camera's optics and shutter speed and a few more esoteric factors are more important. When in doubt, choose a higher level of optical zoom over more megapixels. His recommendation is that after about 6 megapixels on a camera, you won't notice the difference unless you want to print very large images.
Optics and Zooming
Every digital camera offers a "digital zoom." Some cameras have optics that let them do an "optical zoom." Digital zoom is identical to cropping down an image in an image editing program and enlarging it. If you have a lot of megapixels on the camera, its effects will be minor or unnoticeable. Optical zoom actually changes the focal length and apparent angle of the image and gives much sharper images of the photographic subject. The major advantage of SLR cameras, and DSLRs in particular, is the ability to do true optical zoom with full-sized lenses. While some point-and-click cameras have surprisingly good optics for their price, when it comes to lenses and camera equipment, the higher quality gear gets significantly more expensive, and photographers accumulate lenses over the course of a career.
Photo Storage
Your camera will store images on a Compact Flash or SD card; the exact type will depend on the manufacturer. It is always worth your while to buy an extra card or two; the ones that come with most digital cameras are usually the minimum usable capacity for the camera. Some cameras come with built in Wi-Fi connections and can be used to save the images they take to another computer on the network, bypassing the removable storage completely. Other cameras may be able to connect to a computer by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to transfer photos, but not when the photos are being taken. If your camera doesn't have either of these connection features, you'll be forced to move images via a USB cable.
The Camera You Already Have
When shopping for a camera, there's a good chance you have an adequate point-and-shoot camera in your pocket. The general rule of thumb is that cameras in smartphones are about equal to a good point-and-shoot camera from two model years ago. Learning to use that camera well may save you some money on a point-and-click camera, but it's no match for even a low-end DSLR for portrait-taking or landscape shots.

LA JOLLA (CBS 8) - President Barack Obama's three day trip to California started in Los Angeles dubbed #Obamajam. Now he's headed to San Diego Thursday afternoon for a luncheon at Qualcomm founder's home Irwin Jacobs.
In the neighborhood there orange cones placed along the street warning drivers not to park during the event and no parking on the street where Jacobs lives.
A teen from Santee and her friend scouted out the area to see if there would be a place to get a selfie with the President.
"We wanted to see if there was secret service so we could propose our campaign to them," said Erin Mulligan.
She is a junior at West Hills High School in Santee and drew a poster in hopes of keeping with the POTUS selfie trend, "Please take a selfie with me. #erinprez2k14."
The president started his California swing in Los Angeles at U.S.C. where legendary director Steven Spielberg presented the President with the U.S.C. Shoah Foundation's Ambassador for Humanity Award.
On Thursday President Obama will land at Marine Corps Airstation Miramar and attend a $10,000 per-person luncheon at Jacobs home in La Jolla for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Environmentalists plan to welcome the President at the entrance to the La Jolla neighborhood to protest the Keystone Pipeline Project.
"We hope he gets the message and decides to reject the Keystone Pipeline," said SanDiego350.org volunteer Masada Disenhouse.
Some neighbors living near Jacobs are not excited about the President making an appearance in their La Jolla neighborhood.
"I really don't care," said Chris Williams. "It's a lot of cones for the President. It's going to be a lot of congestion."
The FAA released a no fly zone to pilots on unscheduled commercial flights and civil aviation between 11:15 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. in the San Diego area.
Democratic Congressman Scott Peters will not be at the fundraiser. His spokesperson says it's voting day at the Capitol.
The Republican National Committee says President Obama is using this fundraiser swing in California as his personal piggy bank.

*Drafting replacements, likely cutdown day cuts
Round 1: Nick Fairley. - Not many people worth it where Bengals will be picking. Bowers was a college bust until this year, and got most of his sacks in 4 games. I keep reading that he is the most NFL ready end but, I don't buy it. Fairley is a gamble as well, but he has been so absolutely disruptive on the inside that he's worth the gamble. With a DT that can collapse the pocket our ends will have a lot easier time getting those precious sacks.
Round 2: Derek Sherrod or the next best available OL - Here is where picking early really helps, the ability to get first round talent that slipped, hopefully Sherrod slips. You need to draft OL here and later in the draft, without question. You get an LT and you move him to LG, if he can handle LT you move Whit back to LG.
Round 3: Best available receiver or safety - We can't be sure that Simpson's game wasn't a fluke but there are too many other pressing needs to be drafting a receiver earlier than the third round. If I notice a receiver on my draft board that his slid to the third and I had him graded 3rd or better, I pick him up. Failing that you pick the safety with the best grade.
Round 4-7: We've been preparing for these picks all year, evaluating all the talent there is to be had in the later rounds to make sure you get value out of each pick (haha yeah right), these are the bread and butter. We buckle down and look to our draft board. We know we need more offensive lineman, we know we need some more youth on the defensive line, we know we need a safety, we know we need receivers, whatever we can get.
Front Office Moves
Marvin Lewis becomes the team's GM. Brat is out. Jim Sheppard is out. Marvin, Zimmer, and Mike Brown (me) sit down to figure out who to hire as head coach. We decide on Hue Jackson for head coach, because no one else will come work for me (I wonder why?) and he knows the Bengals and worked with Zimmer in Atlanta. Offensive Coordinator and Receivers coach depends on whos available. Marvin hires a new strength and conditioning coach, evaluates the medical staff, and oversees the building of an indoor practice facility.
I know a lot of you want to see a new RB and QB, but the lines need to be built before we worry about skill positions. You resign Benson, he hasn't had a terrific year so he shouldn't be asking for big money. If he wants to walk, fine, more money to secure JJo. Go with Cedric Peerman/Bernard Scott/Brian Leonard as your running backs and make it work. QB is of no concern right now, you find a veteran on the cheap to replace Little Palmer as the #2, there are bigger fish to fry.
Mike Brown said it would be an interesting offseason, so I hope none of this is out of the question. I honestly think if the offseason resembles any of our mocks the organization would be better for it. What did I miss?

Mark Owen joins Soccer Aid squad
10:08am Wednesday 11th April 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Robbie Williams has signed up his Take That pal Mark Owen as the latest celebrity team-mate to join charity event Soccer Aid.
Mark, 40, joins a line-up of players which includes Hollywood stars Jason Isaacs, Gerard Butler, Will Ferrell and Mike Myers.
The stars will take to the pitch at Manchester's Old Trafford on May 27 in aid of Unicef.
Organiser Robbie announced on his blog that his bandmate - a gifted player - was joining the team.
He wrote: "The best football player that TT produced has agreed to play for England at Soccer Aid.
"Mr Mark Owen shall be gracing the theatre of dreams. It just gets better and better. Nice one Marko, see you on the training pitch in May."
Also joining the game will be Marvin Humes and Aston Merrygold from JLS, chef Gordon Ramsay and comedian John Bishop.
The event sees celebrities and veteran players - including Teddy Sheringham, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Jaap Stam - in a clash between teams representing England and the rest of the world.

For three years Kylee Mendez and her dog Ziggy were inseparable. Now the energetic little poodle is gone leaving behind an emotional hole far bigger than her tine body.
"I don't know who has him. If she's nice or mean. I just hope he's safe and not scared."
Ziggy went missing on Monday. Kylie and her sister Anniston had been out in the back yard. The two girls went in and Kylee thinks she locked Ziggy out. She thinks he wiggled through a hole in the fence. Regardless. The dog is missing. She and her mom combed the neighborhood putting up signs.
This would be an ordeal for any 16 year old, but it's even worse for her. Among her challenges Kylee 's body can't produce cortisol, the hormone that helps you deal with stress..
"Some kind of stressful event happens we have to triple her dose of medication just to keep everything else in check. We've all lost our appetite. Nobody's really eating." Says he mom Robin Burson.
A day after the disappearance they got a break in the form of an eyewitness .A neighbor actually saw this go down. He saw two women put the dog into their car. He even spoke to them. They gave him a lame excuse about why they were putting the dog in the car. But this is the age of the smart phone and every smart phone has a camera.. So is there is a picture.
"Ziggy is in that car. He is in there!" said Robin.
There's just one problem. You can't make out the license plate. It's just too blurry. But it's a white Cadillac Escalade with a sticker in the left hand side of the rear window.
It's not the most solid of leads but it's something. Something to give them a little hope that Ziggy might find his way home.That Kylee can go a few more years before learning how cruel the world can be. That someone could steal a girl's beloved pet. a pet that is in a word her everything. "Like my child." She said.

Wilbraham & Monson Academy
After Salmon's junior year at Curtis HS, he suffered an injury playing lacrosse during the summer travel season and was concerned how it would affect his recruitment.
Fortunately for the 18-year-old, he was made aware of the potential of going to Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Massachusetts. The rest, as they say, is history.
The Port Richmond resident made the decision to attend the boarding school and repeat his junior year. "It was help both academically and athletically," said Salmon, "and it gave me another chance to get recruited."
The midfielder did attract interest from Holy Cross, Canada's McGill University and Stony Brook, but chose Haverford College, a highly respected Division III liberal arts college 10 miles outside of Philadelphia.
"Haverford fit me athletically and academically," said Salmon, who will major in economics. "I wanted a small school and it has an enrollment of roughly 425 students while Curtis was over 2,000 and I think this will be a better environment for me personally."
Salmon was a key player last season for WMA, which reached the Western New England Prep School Secondary Lacrosse Association Division II semifinals after posting just one victory the previous season.

Have you heard... for the second time in about a week, we are able to report good news in the fight against cancer.
There is a new drug that has shown promise in trials for people with metastatic melanoma.
Unlike chemotherapy which shuts down new cell growth in the tumor as well as healthy cells... This new drug known as Zelboraf... Targets the growth signals of the tumor... And shuts it down while leaving healthy cells alone.
It has been effective in prolonging life in people who have late stage metastatic melanoma.
Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer.
What is extremely exciting, is that it should also reduce what can be dangerous side effects for the patient.
It comes with a specific test to see if the mutated cell is one that would be killed off by the drug.
There is hope. A woman reports she could see her tumor had gotten smaller.
Keep on praying for a cure. We are closer than ever to defeating cancer.
Stay tuned, I can't wait for the next breakthrough.
God Bless,

Southern Baptists Support Immigration Reform: Mississippi Baptists Split on the IssueBy Daniel Cherry | Published 20 Jun 2011 05:40pm |
The Southern Baptist Convention recently passed a resolution advocating immigration reform. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports how the vote by the nation's largest protestant denomination is getting mixed reviews in Mississippi.
The resolution says the Southern Baptist Convention supports a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants. It suggests allowing immigrants to pay restitution and then have a path to citizenship. William Perkins with the Mississippi Baptist Convention says it shows the church is looking to appeal to a new demographic.
"As the predominately white, the Anglo congregations are leveling off or tapering off, the growth will be in ethnic ministries. America is a different country than it was in the 1950s and Southern Baptists can either adapt or die."
Attendance and baptisms have been at the lowest levels in decades for Southern Baptists. Bill Chandler, President of the Mississippi Immigrants Right's Alliance, applauds their decision.
"I think they see our country is becoming more multi-cultural in that there are more people of color coming to the United States."
But Chandler says the church could still do more.
"I think it's a step in the right direction. I think they have a long way to go to turn on human rights and workers right's issues, but I think they're on the right path."
Not everyone is thrilled about the resolution. Dr. Rodney Hunt is the president of the Mississippi Federation for Immigration Reform and Enforcement. He says he's a Southern Baptist and he doesn't see it being well received.
"I do not believe that this represents the mainstream thought of the people that are in the congregations of the Southern Baptist Convention. The people that I know in the church I think, overwhelmingly, if they were told about the resolution, would reject it."
Earlier this year an Arizona style immigration bill failed in the state legislature.
