"One woman's story as she blogs - and fights back - the zombie apocalypse"
Allison Hewitt and her five colleagues at the Brooks and Peabody Bookstore are trapped together when the zombie outbreak hits. Allison reaches out for help through her blog, writing on her laptop and utilizing the military's emergency wireless network (SNET). It may also be her only chance to reach her mother. But as the reality of their situation sinks in, Allison's blog becomes a harrowing account of her edge-of-the-seat adventures (with some witty sarcasm thrown in) as she and her companions fight their way through ravenous zombies and sometimes even more dangerous humans.

First Thought when Finished: Allison Hewitt is Trapped was a fun listen that finally made it off my TBR stack!
Overall Thoughts: This book has been on my TBR for quite awhile so I broke down and bought the audio version so that I could get to it. It was so fun! I thought Madeleine did a fantastic job at building the world and making it something that I could actually see happening. Allison was a great leading character that made root for her all the way. The thing I loved the most is that these characters were real. There was no big burly superheroes that busted in and saved the day. There were real people fighting to stay alive. There were lives lost, loves started, hardships dealt with, and quests to find loved ones. It was just a great read!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Piper Goodeve / Length: 11 hrs and 8 mins
Piper did a good job with the voice for Allison but I thought the pacing was a little off in the beginning. Whether that was the story or the narration, it was something that I noticed. I haven't listened to Piper before but I would listen to her again.
Final Thought: Yeah for knocking one off the TBR Shelf and it being worth the money spent!

I'll be travelling out there in a few days for a month, maybe two and my question is, are there any MMA events worth checking out while I'm there (Jan 1-30th) I will be in Bangkok or Phuket for the most part, but transportation is easy to come by and I'd be more then willing to travel to watch a decent event. I realize this isn't a traditional fan post, but any and all help is much appreciated. Love the website, and I enjoy the comments section as much as the articles.

Chancellor Kenny Armstrong decided today he will issue a written ruling on a lawsuit, filed by Rev. Kenneth Whalum, which challenges the outcome of an election for a seat on the Unified School Board. No word when the ruling will come down.
Whalum is challenging his close loss to Boardmember-elect Kevin Woods in the District four race last year.
According to our news partner, The Daily News, Chancellor Armstrong has several options for his ruling. He can declare Woods the winner, overturn the results and name Whalum the winner or call for a special election in which voters will return to the polls.

Critics are sayin' this is gonna be a winner....I don't doubt it....it comes off a little Balboan....but that's fitting when it comes to old wrestlers who can't let go...
Here's the trailer.....

I'm pretty psyched about this flick. Aronofsky hasn't been too active since 'Requiem'.
He has another one set to come out in 2009 called "The Fighter"...which is the story of Mickey fucking-Ward!!
The CEO
Dec 2 2008, 03:59 PM
Yeah...I'll be making it a point to watch The Fighter as well....
On a side note....I wikied Aronofsky and saw that he's confirmed to direct a new Robocop too....
Dec 2 2008, 04:08 PM
How can he top that?!

Mickey Rourke looks like he's physically finished. I doubt he needed a lot of make up to make him look fucked for this movie.
They don't make movies like Robocop anymore. Interestingly enough, Robocop's director had a movie he wanted to make called Crusade, it was supposed to be a kick ass medieval war epic, Scwarzeneger was said to love the script and was pumped to have the film made. But like 90% of scripts it has not yet been made.

Hey FSU Nation,
I'd like to start off by introducing myself. So, here goes... My name is Max Strauss, I started a website, in which I interview NFL players. I am a high school student (11th grade). I put a lot of time and hard work into my site, so everyone can enjoy it, and I'm today to share my first interview with the Seminoles Nation!
So, here is a little biography about Leon Washington. He played at FSU from 2002 until 2005. He was drafted in the fourth round, 117th overall by the New York Jets in the 2006 NFL Draft. He played with the Jets for four years. In 2008, he was an All-Pro member and also a Pro Bowl kick returner. In the 2010 NFL Draft, he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks. He has started at PR and KR for them throughout the season!
Here is the link to the Leon Washington interview: http://prointerviews.org/2010/12/27/leonwashington/
Thanks Tomahawks Nation for letting me share, and I hope you enjoy the interview! Go 'Noles!
-Max Strauss-
PS - Do you have a favorite memory from Leon's career (NFL or with the Seminoles) Please share below!!

As much as you want to try and make sense of what has been going on its really hard to. Even if we were to get Peyton Manning or Matt Flynn.. who are they throwing to? When you look at free agency, there aren't many answers left. Instead of getting better in the offseason it seems like things are falling apart. What is wrong with the Dolphins!
Ben Volin twitter
#Dolphins will have $11.31 million in dead salary cap money from Brandon Marshall, Vernon Carey, AJ Edds, Tim Dobbins and Matt Roth
So we're still payin for Matt Roth huh?
I don't know what's worse the logic for getting rid of talented players or the compensation we receive for them. For example…
Matt Roth for nothing
Roth actually made a decent transition to a 3-4 OLB but for whatever mysterious issues he had with the FO he was waived. Then in 2010 we spent a high 2nd round pick on Koa Misi who basically ended up replacing him. Well I think its safe to say Id rather have Roth right now
Ted Ginn for a 5th round pick (pick used to select Nolan Carroll)
We never really replaced his speed on offense or in the return game. Then in 2011 we spend a 4th round pick on Clyde gates. Ginn had a really good year as a returner last season and as of right now Ginn is still the better receiver and returner.
Brandon Marshall for 2 3rd round picks
So we spent 2 2nd round picks on Marshall and we ship him away for 2 3rd round picks despite the fact that he was a Pro Bowler last season and is in the prime of his career.
When I think about the robbery Chicago pulled off I cant help but think what type of season Marshall is going to have this year. We needed a receiver before Marshall got traded now we need 2 and a QB.
Now I understand Marshall has been involved in an incident that could lead to a suspension, but you know what Ireland and whoever else was involved in making that trade knew the risks that came along with Marshall and traded for him anyway. Id like to see how this situation plays out because if Marshall ends up being cleared of any wrong doing, then we couldve kept him or possibly traded for more.
And there is no "masterplan" in place, I've come to realize that this FO is not that smart. Remember in the 2010 draft when they took Jared Odrick and everyone was confused, but later find out that they were moving Randy Starks to NT? Well Randy Starks wasn't horrible as a NT but he was better suited as a DE in which he made the PRO BOWL the year before.
Now these fools have interest in Laurent Robinson. Now don't get me wrong I like Robinson but now the interest is for him to replace Marshall! Guys like Manningham, Meachem, and Robinson are the #2 upgrades that I wanted to see play next to Marshall not to replace him.
Hell if you were going to get rid of Marshall we would've been better off drafting Dez Bryant (you know I had to throw this in here lol) back in 2010 but instead we are looking for #2 receivers in free agency to replace Marshall.
Robinson benefited from the attention Dez was receiving, If he came to Miami there would be no other receiving threat to take the pressure off and teams could just focus on him. I'm sorry but Robinson is not a #1 receiver. I loved the idea of him playing next to Marshall not replacing him.
Packers West Coast Offense
Everyone is saying that our offense is going to be similar to Green Bays when that is far from the truth. Besides the obvious fact of not having Aaron Rodgers, we don't have anything close to the weapons he has either. His receiving core consist of Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver, James Jones, and Randall Cobb. Im sorry but Davone Bess and Brian Hartline arent going to cut it. I mean just Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson alone is better than our receiving core right now and I didnt even mention Jermichael Finley. So if we were to sign Matt Flynn dont expect him to have the same success, even though the offense may be familiar the quality of weapons aren't.

CALICO ROCK, AR( KAIT) – Izard County Sheriff
Tate Lawrence and Deputy Mark Semino visited Calico Rock Head Start Tuesday.
According to the sheriff's department,
the two officers told the students about stranger safety, fire dangers, drug
and alcohol awareness, and how to contact emergency services, and in addition
to showing the students their patrol cars.
Sheriff Lawrence said he always enjoys
talking to kids about their own safety. He added that the children he spoke to
Monday were very sharp were obviously taught well both at the school and at
their homes.
Sheriff Lawrence said each child
received a safety coloring book, an underage alcohol prevention pencil, and of
course, a candy sucker.
Similar programs are planned for Brockwell
Head Start and the Melbourne Head Start in the near future.

Policy coherence for development: trade policies
AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical and empirical background overview of the interactions between aid and foreign direct investment (FDI) policies, and trade flows and policies, taking the perspective of outcomes from the point of view of the recipient developing country. A first element that seems quite robust is the identification of a complementarity between trade and FDI flows and policies. There are theoretical arguments for this and it appears as quite robust in the few empirical papers addressing directly this issue. An important policy implication is however the fact that there is a risk of a two-tier system: between emerging developing countries on the one hand, and less developed economies on the other. The literature so far does not provide straightforward and robust results regarding a complementarity between aid and trade flows. There is though a presumption of the possibility of a complementarity between aid and a policy that would reduce domestic distortions in the developing country (provision of a public good, domestic market reforms).

2012 Year End Wrap Up (a little late)
I'm a little late doing this, but just thought I'd do the year end wrap up for last year and look forward to 2013…
So last year I had 68 hookups and gave about 60 loads. In a couple of those cases I wasn't absolutely sure I came, but I strongly suspect that I did. That means I had a failure rate of 12%, which is really good for me. Even if you said I only gave 58 loads, that's still just a failure rate of 15% – which is still good.
60 loads makes 2012 the 2nd best year since I started keeping records. 2008 was slightly better with 67 loads given.
46 of the guys that I fucked I'd never fucked before, and 34 of the loads I gave were into holes I hadn't seeded previously. If those numbers don't quite make sense – imagine a sex party. I may fuck 5 guys I've never fucked before, but only give 1 load.
In the grand scheme of things 60 loads is not all that many. I mean there's one bottom on Breeding Zone who is trying to get 2013 loads in his ass this year – he'll need 5 or 6 loads every day to achieve that goal. That's a lot of loads!
My goal for this year is go give 100 loads. It seems like a goal I could achieve. However, I'm behind my goal so far in large part because I started the year off sick and then couldn't manage to cum with the muscle cub I fucked so much at MAL. If I don't pick things up I'll only mange to give 70 loads this year. But I think I can pick up the pace a little

Two local TV stations -- KRXI and KAME -- have been sold.
You'll recall that Cox Media Group put the two TV stations up for sale last summer, along with three other stations in Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
At the time, Cox Media Group announced it was focusing on larger markets -- and had purchased stations in Jacksonville, Florida and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Today, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced it has purchased KRXI, KAME and three other stations for $99 million.
Due to FCC ownership restrictions, Sinclair will continue to provide the services to KAME that Cox had provided.

As much as I love Tebow there is only so much i can stand on reviewing every single detail on every play. BTW if you have not already, read Ted Bartletts article posted in the Fan Shots section. Its great.
Now to the point of the post, 6 games in what the thought of the future of the DT position for the Denver Broncos? I have seen lots of commenting that this position needs to be addressed early in the draft next year so I'm going to give a brief rundown of the current Broncos and talk maybe about possible future Broncos.
Bunkley has proved to be one of the better off-season acquisitions by EFX. He does a great job of taking up blocks and penetrating in the run game. I have felt much better about our run defense this year and i think he is part of the reason. He had a great start to the season but slowed down and had little production vs. GB or SD. This could be attested to their great passing attacks. Bunkley only played in 22 snaps last game and 16 of them were running plays. I want to keep a closer eye on him but have you guys seen him come off after just first down in multiple instances. He seems likes he should be getting more snaps for his production. The game vs. SD was not all that bad of play by our D-line, more on Von's over commitment to the pass and some missed tackles by Mays, DJ and others. I think he has a spot on this team for the future, he is still fairly young and is the best run stuffer weve had in a while. Lock him up EFX!!!!
Marcus Thomas
I have always been high on Marcus Thomas. Beyond him just being supposedly a "first round talent", he has been through a scheme change every year and now this is his second 4-3 pro stint. Marcus had a lot of tackles and played decently well in the game vs. SD but was not much of a factor vs. MIA. He is still recovering and getting in better shape so despite already being in the league 4 years the jury is still not out. Marcus has 10 more games to prove he should be re-signed for the Broncos. I love his size and speed so I can only hope he remains healthy and gives opposing teams hell.
Ummm....what? Ryan McBean has done what the past two weeks? You mean the same guy that pretty much cost us a game in Jacksonville last year and showed no signs that he needed to remain a Bronco this year. Yeah that guy, in the past 2 weeks McBean has 5 solo tackles 4 assisted and 1 sack and 1 TFL. McBean has played better than ever the past 2 weeks and hopefully keeps improving. Like Thomas and even Bunkley, these next 10 are a tryout. This kid came to play last week and I hope to see the same continue, he could be a good backup.
Big Vick (or should i say little vick), has definitely been a disappointment this year. He dropped down to 290 after weighing in over 330 last season. He is on IR and out for the rest of the season. He had 4 total tackles on the season through 5 games, and didnt close to as effective as he had been in the season prior. I dont know what the future of Vickerson is, he is on contract with the Broncos next year but unless he shows his '10 form, I could see him being cut next year.
Ty has been injury plagued the last few years and he is going to miss this entire season after missing all of last season. Warren is only due 2.5 million though his contract calls for 2 years ten mil. I think like Vickerson he will be here this off-season and training camp and will compete for a roster spot. It is likely he could be cut i think.
Awww well of course save the best for last. Im really not going to bother with Unrein, i wish him nothing but the best and has not that bad when he has played but i just dont think he has much of a future with this team or possibly the NFL.
Possible draft candidates IMO:
Alameda Ta'amu, NT, Washington- possibly gone in the first round, but could be looked at hard by EFX if he is there in the second. Could be a force in the 4-3.
Devon Still DT, Penn State- probably going to be available in round 3. A bigger DT at around 315 that can rush the passer. He would be a great option in round 3 imo.
Kawaan Short, DT, Purdue- has had a solid year thus far and would be a good option in the third or fourth round. At 6'3 305 he has manned his position well and is the best lineman on Purdue.
IMHO i have been pleasantly surprised with the play from our tackles thus far. If Bunkley keeps it up i think we need to hold on to him. McBean and Thomas may be going head to head for a contract here, the jurys are out on both still and hopefull they both play well enough to earn a stay here.
Vickerson and Warren are in under contract for next year and should at least be in TC. A lot of people think DT is one of if not our biggest needs. IMO, cornerback is by far our biggest needs. Unless Jonathan Martin falls to us we have to take Claiborne or Kirkpatrick. We have a few young cbs that can still develop into good players but we need a sure bet and both are. We need to draft a CB in round 1 and at some point in the later rounds. AS for DT i would probably rank it number 2, because a lot of other positions have youth and will grow. I like a group of Bunkley, Thomas and others but we do definitely need to draft a tackle in the early-mid rounds. I like Still and Short in round 3, and that what i would go aim for right now.
This league despite our efforts, is a passing league. Pass rushers and cornerbacks are vital. Defensive Tackle is important but i don't think it warrants a round 1 pick. I would like to see us add a pass rusher along with a d tackle in rounds 2-4. Here's to building the D of the future, we have good pieces and a lot of youth cant wait to watch it grow, i heart you Dennis Allen.

One great way to do this is through the use of a chat service. If you are uncomfortable with this or do not have the manpower for this task, list how your customers can contact you, such as an email address or telephone number. A list of products purchased after questions have been answered should be kept. You can influence your customer's decision making process, and you should note what tactics work and what tactics did not work. Look around for applicable affiliate programs. Affiliating your home business with other businesses of similar relevance will boost your traffic between websites and build you valuable allies. You'll boost your legitimacy on web search engines and get traffic from your affiliate neighbors, building word of mouth and trust along the way.
Life can be unexpectedly cruel. It's possible to be unemployed after holding a job for years, and you suddenly don't know what to do. Now may be the time to consider starting your own home business. By following the advice in this article, you can start setting your own hours in no time at all. You have to know that a home business requires you to spend a lot of time on the phone. You need to have a second phone line strictly for company calls. By having an additional phone, you'll be able to silence it when you aren't available.
SEO is the best way to improve visibility on the Internet for any business. Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a fantastic resource for business owners that do online marketing and want to connect to a larger audience. Many different guidelines exist for performing SEO on your own, and there are many resources out there that can assist you. Offering some kind of incentive to your customers to refer you to their friends and family is a great way for you to get advertising at an affordable rate. If you simply offer your customer ten percent off of their next purchase or service, you are going to entice them to refer you to everyone that they know. Remember that things take time. Home businesses are rarely overnight successes. It takes time and effort for home businesses to flourish; as you gain more experience, your business will have a better chance to succeed. Consistency and dedication are key items that you must have throughout your entire business ownership process. Be sure to save all receipts when starting a home business. Anything that you spend for your home business is tax deductible. Receipts are crucial if you intend to take business expense deductions. There are many resources that explain legitimate business deductions. Your accountant will be a major resource in understanding the business expense tax deductions you can take. Unless you save your receipts, you may end up paying unnecessarily high taxes in April.

It looks like a war zone in places, with piles of debris scattered everywhere, and a constant plume of dust in the air. Residents in North Overton have had to get used to the sound of heavy equipment from dawn 'til dusk. But soon, this neighborhood should be peaceful for the first time in decades.
North Overton resident Winston Edward Johnson is one of the few residents still left here. "I really would like to live here, and stay here," says Johnson.
Johnson, who moved to Lubbock in 1993 from England, lives at 6th and Avenue U with his family. And unlike most of the rundown homes still left in North Overton, Johnson's is very well kept.
For now, the neighborhood is 89% purchased according to developer Delbert McDougal. The North Overton project is touted as the largest urban redevelopment project in the country, and it's way ahead of schedule. "We're still 16 to 18 months ahead of schedule and things are going very well," says McDougal.
But McDougal admits, there have been difficulties. "The vandalism is certainly a major problem."
Vacant houses have attracted all kinds of criminals, mainly arsonists. One group of concerned neighbors even drafted a list of concerns. In it, stating that residents live in a, 'constant state of uncertainty and paranoia.'
One neighbor tells us the vacant houses are dangerous at night. "The thing is, at night we are all scared of these empty houses."
But police say, considering the magnitude of this project, criminal activity has been relatively low. And violent crime and drugs are practically unheard of now, in a neighborhood that used to be notorious for guns and drugs.
McDougal says his group intends to allow homeowners like Johnson to stay, but most, McDougal says, welcome the negotiation process and want to sell for the right price.
Construction workers are tearing down vacant structures as fast as they can in order to deter more crime. And according to McDougal, 98% of the debris created during demolition is being recycled.

Murray's on your marks for blood brothers
12:10pm Monday 2nd April 2012 in News
MEET the team of bikers who selflessly give up their time 365 nights a year to deliver life-changing blood and other vital supplies.
The volunteers, known as 'blood runners', met up alongside legendary motorsport commentator Murray Walker to officially launch their services as they all took part in a grand ride.
The newly formed SERV Wessex are part of the UK's largest blood bike organisation and are based at Southampton and District Motorcycle Club in Eastleigh.
The 75-strong team, who use their own bikes, will provide a free-of-charge outof- hours delivery service for ten hospitals in the area.
SERV Wessex regional coordinator Stuart Graham said SERV Hampshire previously existed for 18 months saving NHS Hampshire around £20,000 in expensive courier fees but the branch has now joined with Dorset and Wiltshire.
He added: "I have been into motorcycles all my life like many of the blood runners and this just allows us to help. It is completely voluntary, the riders get nothing at all, not even for fuel, but it means the NHS can save money to plough back into health services.
"There is a huge community spirit in the biker world, and this is just bikers doing what they have always done but at night behind the scenes."

Feminization of Ageing and Long Term Care Financing in Singapore
AbstractFeminization of ageing leads to issues relating to long term healthcare financing since females are more susceptible to chronic illnesses. This paper assesses the current provision of long-term care (LTC) in Singapore by first examining the health status of elderly female; and then estimates the present value of LTC expenses. We calibrate the LTC costs for institutional nursing homes, community homes and informal home-based care with domestic helper. We next evaluate the comprehensiveness of a private disability insurance scheme in Singapore (Eldershield) in capturing the expected share of LTC expenditures. We compare the policy comprehensiveness of Eldershield payouts for different utilizations of LTC at different levels of means-tested government subsidies. With subsidies, the LTC cost can be adequately covered by Eldershield; without any subsidies, Eldershield is able to capture 25% to 40% of the LTC costs. We also evaluate the LTC financing implications after an osteoporotic hip fracture surgery.

Authorities have identified the victims of a murder-suicide in Cumberland County.
Melissa Harris, 43, of York, shot 46-year-old Lisa Goss and then took her own life inside Goss's Enola townhouse early Sunday afternoon, according to Cumberland County Coroner Todd Eckenrode.
Both woman died from a single gunshot wound to the head.
East Pennsboro Township police Chief Todd Bashore said Harris and Goss had been in a romantic relationship and had lived together at Sterling Court before Harris moved out within the last few months.
He said the women were moving some belongings out of the townhouse before the shootings occurred at around 1 p.m.
Investigators said Goss's 17-year-old son was in the home, but did not witness the shooting.
"He heard a loud bang and he didn't quite know what it was," Det. Sgt. Mike Cotton said. "When he opened the door, he came face to face with Melissa, who was holding the gun. Melissa turned around and fired a shot at him."
The teen called 911 and hid in a closet until officers arrived, authorities said.
Police also confirmed that a green Ford station wagon they removed from the scene belonged to Harris. The said they had received a report a few weeks ago that Harris was sleeping in the car in Goss's neighborhood.

As is now well-known, on 18 September several Greenpeace activists attempted to board Gazprom's oil platform, the Prirazlomnaya, in the Russian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) bearing ropes and posters. They did do in inflatable craft launched from the Greenpeace vessel the MV Arctic Sunrise. They were soon arrested by the Russian Coast Guard. On 19 September the Russian Coast Guard boarded, within their EEZ but outside territorial waters, the Arctic Sunrise itself (a Netherlands flagged vessel) and arrested those on board.
I have already blogged at The Conversation as to why the Greenpeace protestors are self-evidently not pirates at international law. (In short, their acts were neither violent nor committed against another ship.) Vladimir Putin even agrees, but nonetheless the protestors and all aboard the Arctic Sunrise have been charged with "piracy of an organised group".
Now the Netherlands government has commenced arbitration proceedings against Russia over the detention of the Arctic Sunrise and, it seems, the legality of its seizure. These proceedings will have two limbs: (1) seeking the release of the vessel and crew; and (2) the merits of the case concerning the lawfulness of the Russian action against both those aboard its oil platform and the Arctic Sunrise.
The case will be heard by an arbitration panel constituted under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This panel will have the power to order the release of the Arctic Sunrise as a preliminary measure, or if it is not constituted within two weeks the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea will have jurisdiction to hear the prompt release case (Article 290(5), UNCLOS).
I, perhaps rather rashly, previously noted that the Russian reservation to the UNCLOS dispute settlement mechanism might pose problems to such proceedings. (The reservation purports to exclude disputes arising from certain categories of law-enforcement action.) What follows is (mostly) an explanation of why that is likely not the case.
A health warning, however: this is a long and rather technical post.

April 14, 2003
Albany- The robber fired two shots inside Bank of America on Slappey before taking off with money. It's not your typical bank robbery. This one was well-planned.
And it was carried out by a man who meant business. The robber was clad in body armour and carrying a semi-automatic assault rifle. After he walked into Bank of America on Slappey at 10:00 Monday morning, he fired shots into the ceiling, then took money and drove away.
And his apparently well-planned get away has allowed him to escape police so far.
The Albany Bank of America on Dawson Road and North Slappey Boulevard, surrounded by crime scene tape. An armed man jumped the counter took a bag of cash.
Customers quickly turned into witnesses. Lamar Campbell saw what happened. "When I got out of my truck, I seen a guy coming out of there with a AK-47 pointing directly at me. He said 'Move out of the way, I'm getting out of here.' So, I moved and let him by. I was scared, I'm not gonna lie, yes I was."
Cambell said it looked this was a well planned bank robbery. "Bullet proof vest and everything. He was completly geared." But the robber didn't leave without firing a few shots. I thought is was a drill and first becasue everything was so smooth, then I heard shots in there and saw smoke," Campbell said.
Nobody was injured, just shaken up. "Those shots we were able to locate holes in walls, in the ceiling of the bank," said APD Lt. James Wiliams.
A tip led the SWAT team to Avalon Avenue, but turned out to be a false alarm. Police found this getaway car, a Chevrolet Caprice with a Kansas tag abandoned a few blocks away on Greenvale and Baldwin. "I looked out the window, saw the guy jumping in car and pulling off," said Bonnie Holsey. The robber crashed into a white truck while speeding out of the parking lot. But that didn't stop him from getting away.
He supposedly got into a blue Mercury Marquis with another man. So, investigators are looking for two men.
Holsey also saw the robber run out of the bank, but she was across the street working at the Texastar Restaurant. "My co-worker said that he saw something that looked like a rifle and bank bag." The man took an undetermined amount of cash. "I feel a lot of relief it's all over with," Campbell said with a laugh.
It may be over for customers, but Albany Police still have a lot to do. They are looking for a black male, 5-10, 150 to 160 pounds, possibly in his 30's, Considered armed and dangerous.

Families from the two victims who were killed at a Portland-area mall released public statements through the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Steven Mathew Forsyth was a loving husband, father of two children, son, brother, uncle, youth sports coach and friend to the many people who had the privilege to meet him.
Steve was one of the most passionate people with a true entrepreneurial spirit that drove him to start his business, Coastoms. He had a great sense of humor and a zest for life. He had vision and a belief in others that brought great joy and value to many lives.
He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Cindy was everybody's friend. She was a wonderful person who was very caring and put others first.
The family has advised us they want time and space to grieve their loss and will not be giving interviews at this time.

I know WVUIE97 did one of these earlier in the week, but it's always nice to get different perspectives from opposing teams, yes? I had a virtual sit-down with Chris of Turtle Droppings last year, and agreed to do the same again this year. You can find my answers to his questions here. He kindly agreed to return the favor. I actually tried to ask different questions so we could learn a little more and not repeat the same things over and over again. Hope you enjoy. So, without further ado:
Country Roads: WVU has typically viewed the Maryland game as a measuring stick for how well the rest of the season will go. Win, and we're off to a solid year. Lose, and things could get rough. Do Maryland fans view the WVU game in the same way?
Turtle Droppings: You do bring up a good point there. When Maryland was at their best under Friedgen, a win against WVU was often a spring board for a rather successful season. Usually a loss left Maryland scurrying for a bowl game. I don't know if it is direct correlation or not, but you can't really argue with the stats over the last 10 years or so.
CR: We all know about Danny O'Brien and Davin Meggett on offense. Who is the another offensive player WVU fans should watch out for and why?
TD: Against Miami, Maryland struggled mightily in the red zone. D.J. Adams was suspended by Randy Edsall for "an undisclosed violation of team rules." Last season he was the short yardage and goal line back and scored 11 touchdowns. I think he should help get some of those tough yards you need when the defense is stacked up. Another guy who had a surprisingly big game against Miami was WR Kevin Dorsey. He had 124 yards on 8 catches and showed some of the speed and explosiveness Maryland fans have expected from him for a few years.
CR: What do you expect the crowd to be like on Saturday? The stadium looked to be rocking against Miami, but that was a night game against a conference opponent and the start of a new regime. Will Byrd be as hostile at noon when the Mountaineers come to town?
TD: The fact that it is a noon game will have some impact, however I am not expecting it to be too drastic of a change. That win and all the hype with the uniforms have been a huge breath of fresh air for the entire program. There is a pretty big buzz already for this one. It is after all WVU, and there are some hostilities there.
CR: After one game, how do you feel about the Randy Edsall era in Maryland? Do you think he will be able to win more than Ralph Friedgen?
TD: Let me first say I was not the least bit enthused by his hire. I was all aboard for Mike Leach. I kind of felt like Edsall was a younger thinner version of Friedgen. That being said, Edsall is growing on me rather quickly. Sure it was only one win, but he is really trying to do all the right things to build excitement for Maryland Football. He has fully embraced Twitter. He posted a video of Davin Meggett running him over during practice the other night. He is really giving it his all early to get both young and old excited about Maryland again. He has been out in public, and has impressed me with his interviews so far. I think he may wind up winning more than Friedgen when all is said and done. He may not land a lot of top local talent right away, but we are getting on the list of some of these players, and that is a start. Three years down the road, I may really have to say Kevin Anderson really got the right man for the job and that I was dead wrong.
CR: Depending on who you ask, Maryland is a 1.5-point favorite and the over/under is 54.5. Where's your money on this one?
TD: Ugh, thankfully I don't dabble in gambling to often. When I do, it is never on Maryland. You start to feel like you know more than you really do when it comes to your own team. This game is really tough to call. Geno Smith is looking pretty good, but I really expect Maryland to build on the momentum of the Miami win. As far as the over/under goes, I think I would take the over. Maryland is going to a much more uptempo offense under Gary Crowton. Any time you have Danny O'Brien under center, there is a pretty good chance you are going to score. On the defensive side I think Geno could have a big day against Todd Bradford's defense. I hope I am wrong but, I think the defense will be the reason Maryland may not have as good of a season as they really could.
Thanks to Chris for taking the time to answer the questions. Now, let's just hope he's right about the defense.

It is our aim to motivate, enthuse and inspire learners at all key stages. We believe that it is our responsibility to enable all learners, regardless of their context or circumstance, to achieve their potential and make at least good progress throughout each key stage. Through our delivery of the English curriculum we aim to foster a genuine enjoyment of both Literature and English Language. It is our ultimate aim that all students leaving Temple Moor are confident communicators and independent learners who possess lifelong literacy skills.
At Temple Moor we teach students across Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5. In Year 7 and Year 8, students are set according to teacher assessment of their ability. Students are also placed in sets in Key Stage 4, according to their ability. We teach a wide range of abilities throughout the school, ranging from gifted and talented students to those who join us with very basic literacy skills.
In Year 7 students' learning is predominantly skills based and includes reading, writing and speaking and listening. Students will study drama including Shakespeare, poetry, creative writing and the novel within their first year at Temple Moor. The Year 8 syllabus continues to build on the skills learned in Year 7. The programme of study in both years is designed to prepare the students fully for the GCSE course they will undertake in Key Stage 4. In Year 7 and Year 8, all students take part in accelerated reading, designed to improve their reading ability through the students' reading texts, which are specifically designed for their reading age. In Year 7 and Year 8, all students are also given specific literacy lessons to enable them to improve basic skills.
Key Stage 4 courses at Temple Moor begin in Year 9, where students will begin to practise skills needed for a GCSE in English. Students spend Year 10 and 11 studying units examined by both controlled assessment and external examination. Students study a personalised programme of learning designed to suit their capability in English. All students will study English Language and English Literature, receiving two GCSE qualifications. Students will study either the traditional English GCSE or the iGCSE, depending on their needs as learners; the choice of course is designed to give them the best possible chance of achieving their potential. All students will study the iGCSE qualification in English Literature..
The English faculty have a long history of success at Key Stage 5 within English Language, English Literature and Media. We teach students with a wide range of ability across these subject areas, delivering both A Level and BTEC qualifications, and aim to enable all students to achieve their potential, with the vast majority going on to further education after leaving us.
The English faculty features eight classrooms, each with an interactive Smartboard, computer and wireless Internet connection. In addition, the faculty has over 60 laptops and a break out area with eight computers and a printer. The faculty also includes a library with a class set of computers.

Leeds Book Award Nominee Visits Temple Moor
Last school year, a number of a students were lucky enough to take part in a seminar lead by 'Fifty Fifty' author S.L. Powell. Students were given an insight into what it takes to become a published writer and the inspiration behind the author's award nominated novel. Six members of the school's book club were then given the responsibility of keeping company with the author, as they waited to enter the awards ceremony at the Carriageworks Theatre to discover who the winners of the Leeds Book Awards for 2012 were. The students had spent the past few months reading and reviewing all the nominated novels including the eventual winners: Bryony Pearce, author of 'Angel's Fury' and Paula Rawsthorne, author of 'The Truth About Celia Frost'. After the awards ceremony, students from schools across the Leeds area were given the opportunity to introduce themselves to all the nominated novelists.

Temperatures may be dropping, but you will find a beautiful landscape, thought-provoking public art, and engaging public programs at the High Line over the next few months. Here are a few reasons to rediscover the High Line this winter.
Our first full season of High Line Food will soon come to a close. We pulled together some photos of our favorite moments from the year. Take a look, and tell us what you think. We hope you will share your thoughts with us to help make High Line Food even better next year.
Visit the High Line Web Shop this holiday season to find great gifts for all the special people in your life. High Line merchandise is perfect for architecture and design geeks, green thumbs, New York City enthusiasts, and children alike. What's more, every purchase in our Web Shop directly supports the maintenance and operations of the High Line!
On November 12 and 14, visitors gathered to watch dancers in brightly colored costumes jump, run, kick, and cartwheel along the High Line as part of Half-Mythical, Half-Legendary Americanism, a new dance-theater work by Tyler Ashley and the SARAHS.
We would like to give a shout out to our friends at the Chelsea Garden Club.
These hard-working volunteers have adopted the tree pits along 8th and 9th Avenues and transformed them into mini-gardens filled with beautiful flowers, grasses, and shrubs.
Halloween Hi-Jinks on the High Line is one of several educational initiatives to strengthen our partnerships with the neighborhood public schools, and teach kids about the High Line through fun, interactive, hands-on activities.
We would like to thank the following organizations for supporting our partnerships with local public schools: the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, with additional support from the Altman Foundation; The Brown Foundation, Inc., of Houston; The Concordia Foundation; The Milton & Sally Avery Arts Foundation; and, in part, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
Follow us after the jump for a photo tour of the project.
What happens when hundreds of people gather for a one-pot meal at a communal table in a restaurant without walls placed on the High Line?
Why, they eat of course!
Grass clippings, tree trimmings, banana peels, and coffee grounds might sound like things you'd throw in the trash, but here at the High Line, these are all raw ingredients for "black gold," better known as compost.

Watching Blackfish didn't surprise me at all in regards to the cruelty happening at SeaWorld… When I watched it over the summer I immediately felt grief and haven't gone one day without thinking about Tilikum. It's haunting to believe that the complex and brilliant minds of these lives are being enslaved for our entertainment. I cannot explain to you how profoundly and deeply saddened I am for him and the other lives that have been robbed from the rich opportunity to live full and complete lives. I hope that one day these highly evolved, intelligent and powerful beings will be left alone and the word "captivity" ceases to exist- except in the books of history.

Ultrasound guided sclerofoam is an endovenous chemical treatment for varicose veins which is performed under local anesthesia. While injecting foam loaded with a sclerosing agent into a troublesome vein, the phlebotomist performing the procedure is able to watch the needle on a monitor. This gives him or her a view of the damaged area and ensures that all of the varicose veins receive treatment.
Doctors prefer to use ultrasound guided sclerofoam on patients with small to medium-sized varicose veins, and it produces excellent results in over eighty percent of those treated. The side effects are minimal, but include some swelling and bruising which should disappear over a few days time. No hospitalization is need for those undergoing ultrasound guided sclerofoam, but the procedure should be done by a medical physician.
Though treatment with ultrasound guided sclerofoam may cost half of the amount as a surgical procedure, it could be slightly more expensive than laser treatments. It doesn't, however, require time off from work which does save money, and it isn't painful. The results of ultrasound guided sclerofoam should last for years, but, if necessary, additional treatments can be performed.
Those considering a procedure to relieve the symptoms of varicose veins should search for a local provider. A simple phone call will help to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
Boulder Vein Center is a fully-equipped facility in Boulder, Colorado that has helped many patients in the community and surrounding areas find relief from Boulder varicose veins and spider veins. Patients who are treated at this facility receive their treatment in a friendly environment using only proven equipment and materials to ensure their safety and well-being throughout the treatment process. A variety of Boulder varicose veins and spider veins treatments are available to ensure that patients have ample selection when seeking relief from these venous conditions.
Some of the Boulder varicose veins and spider veins treatments available at this facility are compression stockings, endovenous laser ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, VNUS, venous reflux exams, and more. To learn more about these procedures and others available, patients are encouraged to speak with a trained professional on staff at this facility. All vein specialists on staff are highly trained and eager to help patients reach their goals.

At 33, Spurs' Ginobili just hitting the peak of his powers
What? Fran Blinebury, he whom I have disliked for two seasons for that headline calling Manu "old" when he was recovering from surgery, has written a piece praising Manu, and posted it on the day we all learn the extent of the elbow injury? YES! Fran, you just moved off my "dislike" list - not all the way to "like" yet, though.

As fall approaches we always seem to think about scarecrows--but what about the crows themselves? This cute little fellow is easy to make and cute to boot!
1. Hot glue can really hurt, so have a grown-up help you with those steps. 2. Note that steps 2 and 7 are the only steps that use hot glue. Use white craft glue for the other steps. 3. Save cardboard tubes from bathroom tissue and paper towel to make fun craft projects!
Paint cardboard tube with black paint and set aside to dry.
While the tube is drying, put a little hot glue to the bottom of the egg cup and place egg cup in the center of the tan felt square, open end up. Use hot glue around entire outer area of the egg cup and gather the tan felt around it. Hold in place for a moment to allow hot glue to cool. Turn over to create the hat.
Wrap brown felt strip around the tan felt at the edge of the egg cup opening and glue in place.
Use scissors to shape the brim of the hat.
Glue the foam flower to the hat band and stick a miniature brown pom pom to the center of the foam flower.
Cut a triangular beak from the gold felt.
Use hot glue to attach the hat to the top of the black cardboard tube.
Glue on wiggle eyes, beak and buttons.

Summer Squash Ribbons
Serves 6| Hands-On Time: | Total Time:
- 1/2 small bunch fresh basil, leaves picked (about 24 leaves)
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- juice of 2 lemons (about 6 tablespoons)
- 5 small yellow summer squashes (about 2 pounds), unpeeled
- Starting at the stem end, run a vegetable peeler down the length of each squash, using very little pressure, to create long, thin ribbons. Continue making ribbons until you reach the seeds in the middle of the squash. Turn the squash over and repeat.
- Arrange half the ribbons in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the squash with half the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Scatter half the garlic slices and 12 of the basil leaves evenly over the squash. Cover with the remaining ribbons in a single layer, then add the remaining lemon juice, oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and basil.
- Set aside to marinate until the ribbons become translucent, about 1 hour. To serve, use a fork to twirl each ribbon into a loose bunch and place in a bowl.
