Only one in three people with a mood disorder seeks medical treatment, according to the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of Greater Chicago.
While medical research on mood disorders is in its infancy, the 14th annual mini-conference "Connections Between the Brain and Mood Disorders Symposium" will educate the public on the newest treatment methods available.
The conference scheduled for April 20 will also help to bring together the friends, family and coworkers of those with mood disorders.
"It will be a way for them to feel connected to a community of people who are either dealing with the same problem themselves or working to fix it," said Dr. Rachel Jacobs, a research assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago within the Pediatric Mood Disorders Center.
From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 20, Jacobs and four other medical experts will speak on their latest work, both theoretical and practical. The conference will be held at the Frank Auditorium in the Evanston Hospital, 2650 Ridge Ave., in Evanston. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at www.dbsa-gc.org or by calling the alliance at (773) 465-3280. Prices will increase after April 13.
Jacobs will be joined by Dr. John Gottlieb, assistant clinical professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University; Dr. Thomas Bristow, associate professor of psychology at Lewis University; and Dr. Seoka Salston, former president of the Mindfulness and Acceptance Special Interest Group at the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
According to the alliance, mood disorders affect a large portion of the population. The term "mood" does not refer to one feeling that someone experiences at one moment. Instead it is used to describe a persistent emotional state that dramatically impacts a person's life.
Jacobs, who works primarily with children and adolescents, said someone who is bipolar experiences a combination of two extreme levels: very high and very low.
"It's when that level becomes too much and it's preventing them from leading healthy, normal lives," she said.
Jacobs said manic symptoms, or "high" moods, are usually some form of extreme risk taking like spending a lot of money, driving a car very fast or risky sexual behaviors. A bipolar person will swing in between this high and a state of depression.
In depressive disorders - also known as unipolar depression - someone will only experience the low mood. Jacobs said the most serious impact of this is suicide or wanting to hurt someone else.
At the conference, Jacobs will discuss certain treatment methods that have been effective when treating mood disorders. One treatment found to be effective is a cognitive behavioral therapy program available for children and their families.
"The therapy works to help parents who are dealing with the emotional reactivity of their kids," she said. "It helps them know how to best respond in the moment, so that they can handle it affectively."
In addition, Jacobs said there are more simple treatment methods that have helped both children and adults, such as the implementation of a strict routine, especially when it comes to sleep.
"To a certain point, we do know what treatments are helpful so there is hope in that sense," she said. "But we don't know what underlies the disorder and why it will crop up for one person and not another."
Jacobs said the Pediatric Mood Disorders Center is also hopes to continue a study that involves scanning the brains of bipolar children at rest or in activity to see how they react to certain brain stimuli.
"Hopefully, this will help us develop treatments that will be better suited for the different symptoms and help those with mood disorders cope with them," she said.

When ESPN's Marc Stein reported that the Phoenix Suns were exploring their options to make a trade for Pau Gasol two days ago, for me, Super Bowl Sunday was essentially played under the same dark cloud that pundits will tell you now hangs over Peyton Manning's legacy. Personally, I think Mr. Omaha's legacy is just fine. But if Suns general manager Ryan McDonough goes through with this potential trade to bring the Los Angeles Lakers veteran over, there might be some storm clouds setting in on his otherwise brilliant tenure so far.
To his credit, McDonough did not fail the Suns once in a summer filled with genius moves that were impressive before Miles Plumlee, Gerald Green and Eric Bledsoe turned out to be the kind of absolute steals that made The Italian Job look like petty shoplifting. When this team turned out to be far too good for tanking, the next step became acquiring a star piece that could transform the Suns into a real playoff contender. A long-term rebuild turned into "win now" mode.
That being said, Pau Gasol is not the star piece that will morph Goran Dragic and company into an elite Western team. He's not even necessarily a compatible piece. Trading for Pau Gasol at this point in his career would essentially be karmic payback for the Suns sending Steve Nash to L.A. and him only playing a grand total of 56 games in the past two years (even to this day, Nash is Phoenix's hero when it comes to that Suns-Lakers rivalry). Returning the favor and trading for a declining big man would put an abrupt halt on this team's surprising season.
Pau Gasol is the ore from Settlers in the trade market. You don't actually want it that bad but have to trade a lot for it.
— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) February 3, 2014
The most likely deal would be Emeka Okafor's expiring contract and one of the Suns' possible four first-round draft picks. With Okafor injured for the foreseeable future, there's no problem with letting him go. But those draft picks are sacred, even for a team that no longer has a solid chance of scoring a top-five selection. Gasol's not the caliber of player to command that kind of a deal anymore. Looking to acquire guys like Kevin Love, Carmelo Anthony, Luol Deng, or (ideally) Thaddeus Young each presents a different complication, but at least those acquisitions would definitively make the Suns a more serious contender.
Gasol is an extremely skilled big man and his shaky 2013-14 season got a big revival in January, when he averaged 20.8 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.7 blocks per game while shooting 51 percent from the field. His athleticism is clearly not what it once was, but Gasol makes up for it with a plethora of effective post moves and
flop finesse work in the paint.
However, Gasol's style of play doesn't fit with the Suns' versatile offense. With Channing Frye, Markieff Morris and/or Marcus Morris running the stretch-4 position, Phoenix has a ton of perimeter threats out of pick and rolls, pick and pops or just plain old-fashioned dribble penetration and kick-outs. Pairing the Western Conference Player of the Week, Goran Dragic, with Gasol in a pick and roll set is intriguing, but Gasol's never been a 3-point shooter and at this point in his career, you can't teach an old Laker new tricks. Quick Dragic aside:
Most amazing part of Dragic's statline (26.8 pts, 6 ast, 4 reb) from his award winning week is he posted it in 29 mins per game. Wait what?
— Amin Elhassan (@AminESPN) February 3, 2014
"But what about Gasol in the center spot?" is what you're thinking. It's true, the Suns would receive a boost on offense if Gasol took over the center position for the hard-working but inexperienced Miles Plumlee. Sky Miles is a ton of fun to watch and has a penchant for approaching double-double territory on a nightly basis, but any time he's met with contact at the rim, it turns into quite the turbulent flight to the basket that usually results in a miss. Gasol could help and is much
better at flopping smarter about attacking the basket.
However, the Suns' biggest need lies on the defensive end, not the offensive end. Phoenix is sixth in the league in points scored per game at 104.9 and their offensive rating of 109.3 is eighth best in the NBA. Most important of all, their pace (a measurement of how many offensive possession a team has per 48 minutes) is 95.6, the sixth highest mark in the NBA. Gasol isn't the kind of big that gets up and down the floor, which is exactly what the league's highest scoring team in the fast break needs from an offensive perspective.
On the defensive end, the Suns need to batten down the hatches. Phoenix gives up 101.3 points per game to opponents, a mark that has them in the bottom half of the league (16th). Their defensive rating, which measures how many points the team gives up per 100 possessions, is 105.5 and has the Suns at 13th best in the league. It's nearly impossible to win an NBA title without a top-10 defense, and although that's not a realistic goal for this season, making a trade to win now should also help Phoenix move closer to the long-term goal.
Simply put, Pau Gasol doesn't fit the long-term rebuild and he wouldn't help the team improve in the short-term because he's a gaping minus on the defensive end. He's not getting any younger, so when you consider his defensive inefficiencies and the fact that there's no guarantee he'd even stay in Phoenix after his contract was up at the end of the season, a potential deal makes less and less sense.
The only move in McDonough's limited tenure so far that's even been close to questionable was drafting Alex Len, and even that decision is looking better every day. But trading for Pau Gasol would be a mistake, even if he only turned into a one-year rental. Gasol is an emotional player and has dealt with trade rumors for the last few years; the Lakers trading him to a Pacific Division rival would be the NBA equivalent of wooing a new girlfriend with severe daddy issues. The Suns don't want, or need, any of that kind of baggage.

I don't understand people who watch dramatic movies. Isn't enough drama in every day life already? What's the point in watching Lorenzo's Oil if you know, beforehand, just by looking at the cheezy retro picture on the cover of the dvd box, that you'll end up crying and feeling like shit. It's emotionally exhauting and what's most important: completely unnecessary. You're not saving someone else's life by watching it, and it irritates me that people in Hollywood made money out of someone's condition. I won't even start talking about My Name Is Sam and how much I hate it, but there, I made my point.
This is suppossed to be a night fully dedicated to improve my portfolio, but random thoughts (as this one) appear. I can't explain how I managed to remember all of this by listening to Don't let me down. Clearly I don't feel like doing anything at all.

Removing a Post?
I have a 20 foot roof section over my patio and 2 posts every 10ft. I have took all the frill off them and there is a single beam spanning that section. there is no second story above said roof. I want to remove the middle post....?
Oct 15, 2013, 12:25 PM
Your location would help. Is snow load an issue? Does the single beam have any joints in the 20' run, likely since 20' 2x isn't exactly a stock item.
Sight unseen, I'd say no.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Oct 15, 2013, 05:54 PM
Even without a picture I can pretty well guarantee that you cannot remove the post. 10' is already a fair sized span, there is no way you are going to see residential construction overbuilt to the point that you can remove a center post and create a 20' span.
Oct 23, 2013, 11:30 PM
if you do...listen real good..hear that CREEEEAK
thats the roof coming down..run!!!!
Oct 24, 2013, 10:54 AM
I would hope that adding an engineered beam according to the detail provided by your structural engineer will not triple the net value of the house.
but not doing that will certainly reduce it by a third.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?

Marc Hassenzahl explains the fascinating concept of User Experience and Experience Design. Commentaries by Don Norman, Eric Reiss, Mark Blythe, and Whitney Hess
User Experience and Experience Design !
WIMP stands for Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointers (or maybe Windows, Icons, Mouse, Pull-down menus).
WIMP is the style of graphical user interface that uses the above-mentioned common widgets. It was invented at Xerox PARC, popularised by the Apple Macintosh and now available in other varieties such as the Microsoft Windows operating system, the X Window System, OSF/Motif, NeWS and RISC OS.
WIMP is also sometimes said to be a paradigm for human-computer interaction. It can, however, not be said to be an "interaction style" (see this).

text: Greetings to all my friends in the great Barony of Stargate, Gerald has a great idea here! When I cook, I usually have to scrounge for equipment and I've purchased quite a bit of my own over the years to fill in the gaps. The portable hearth is one prime example of scrounging to meet my need to cook for 200-300 in a truly period manner. While I'm always happy to loan out the portable hearth to the various local groups, I have found that many are uncomfortable with using and tending a wood fire. Most cooks are more familiar with modern controls and thermostats on their ovens and may not completely understand the period hearth style of cooking. This usually means that when I loan the hearth, I come with it to run it and miss most of the event's events. I've been toying with the idea of building a large trailer mounted insulated propane oven that could be used just like the home or commercial version. It should be large enough to handle our largest events. I'd be happy to engineer and build one for the Barony at as low a cost as possible. This would entail getting some volunteer help to perform the construction but I think we could make one that is tailor made for our style of feasting. The portable hearth will still be available for those wanting to cook period style. For sinks, I think we could make a very serviceable system using the bottom halves of three 55 gallon plastic barrels and a commercial faucet on a wooden or metal stand. The barrel halves would stack for compact storage and be plenty large enough to handle our largest pots. Maybe even build a collapsible platform for them. Our serveware box is full, but most of the utensils are unsuitable for serving and I usually have to bring my own. Our knives are all dull, so I bring my own of these as well. I won't bore you with the technical reasons, but simple knife sharpeners are made to sharpen knives in good condition and do not work very well on overly dull knives. We should send ours to a sharpening shop to get them back in proper working order, or regularly get new commercial grade knives (which are not expensive). Sam's has some good ones cheap. I'll try to make it to the storage facility next Sunday, but cannot attend Tuesday night practice because of a conflict with my brass quintet practice.

I heard that on the Mexican Netflix they have the fresh prince of bel air so I went and checked
They only have 3 seasons, but still….
bryantsupreme said: Yo, you think netflix or hulu will ever offer shows like The Wire or Oz on their services?
No because HBO and Netflix are fierce competitors now. They're seriously like arch rivals and it would be nothing short of a miracle for you to ever see anything HBO related on Netflix.
HBO has the HBO GO service and although its currently only available to people who have cable/satellite, they're working to spin it off into its own service for people who don't have cable.
I can't give you an exact date, but I would bet within the next 2 years you'll be able to subscribe to HBO without having cable.
How to switch your Netflix regions to unlock more shit to watch
In my previous post I mentioned switching your Netflix country to watch more stuff and I got a few messages from people asking me what I meant and how it works.
Basically, they have like 5-7 different versions of Netflix and they mostly have the same thing, but some of them do have different shows. And in some cases they get things before Americans do.
So you can use some nifty services on the internet to fool netflix into thinking you're logging in front a different country. Peep game.
This is my regular Netflix:
Only 8 episodes because da white man is a devil.
But if you use a chrome extension called Hola Unblocker
You can fool netflix. Just install the chrome plugin and choose another country from the drop down menu.
I personally chose the Great Britain option.
Then when you log back into Netflix, the website will automatically notice that you aren't in America anymore and it will launch a popup suspiciously asking how you are poor and Black but managed to travel to England
"What are you doing over here Nigger? Chicken and giblets are over there"
But nevermind that, you can just browse Netflix like normal now. It will have some extra shows that it didn't have before. You also see a different language in the search box sometimes.
"Film OG TV" means I am a movie King, real recognize real
"IKKE TILGAENGELIG" means I got a big ass dick for a fat dude because I'm black.
But I digress….
Let's look at our new Breaking Bad page.
All the episodes are magically there.
we have triumphed over the evil white man and his nefarious ways.
WARNING: Because this is a free service, the streaming may be slow and buffer a lot
Edit #2: Use this website called Moreflicks to search different regions
Netflix exec: Canada's broadband caps "almost a human rights violation"
"The problem in Canada is… they have almost third-world access to the internet."
There's no love lost between Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos and Canada's big Internet providers: "It's almost a human rights violation what they're charging for internet access in Canada," Sarandos said during the Merrill Lynch Media, Communications & Entertainment conference in Los Angeles Wednesday.
Sarandos was referring to the low broadband caps in place at Canadian ISPs like Bell and Shaw, which force their customers to pay more if they exceed monthly caps that can start at just 15 GB. Netflix has sharply criticized broadband pricing in Canada before, with CEO Reed Hastings calling caps and overage fees like these "grossly overpriced."
I'm fascinated with Netflix as a company. Everything from their employee policies, their content acquisition strategies, algorithms, even their stock price. I don't even follow the stock market but I've been following netflix's stock for two years now.
They have positions that I'm qualified for but they're not open. I'd totally relocate to a different city to work for them.

The business of filling Netflix with B movie bunk
It's not a coincidence that those hyper-specific Netflix categories have a seemingly endless supply of options. Pacific Standard has the story of Asylum, a new type of B movie studio dedicated to cranking out cringe-worthy films that look fantastic when displayed next to that month's A-level blockbuster. The goal is to spend as little money as possible making direct-to-DVD films with sensational plots and buzzword-filled titles. These movies are then sold to companies such as Netflix, Redbox, and Syfy, who happily offer the films regardless of quality. The goal isn't always to convince users to actually watch the movies, but rather to give each company the appearance of an infinite amount of film choices.
This article is fascinating, I already knew this was taking place but it was very interesting to read about it in depth.
So I watched 2 episodes of Hemlock Grove…………… I don't think this show is for me.
I'm not all that into it.
It feels like a B-movie.
B-movies are fine for 90 minutes, but a full season of this is 13 hours, I think I'll pass.
I'm about to be about that Hemlock Grove life. It better not be as unfullfilling as "The Killing" on AMC
I've been reading about Netflix tonight, they're testing out user profiles right now and they're going to launch them sometime in 2013. I've been waiting on them to bring this feature back.
Unrelated to that, The Atlantic has a really good article on their business right now.
If you find yourself unhappy and constantly asking "Why isn't _______ on Netflix?", this should answer that for you.
They're paying billions in streaming rights to content owners.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. — Smashing three home runs and 15 hits, second-seeded Tennessee Wesleyan walloped top-seeded Union College 16-2 in the Appalachian Athletic Conference baseball tournament championship game Saturday.
It was the fifth AAC tournament title in a row for the Athens school, which was the No. 1 seed the previous four times.
Wesleyan, which reached the NAIA World Series last year, earned the AAC's automatic bid to the NAIA playoffs as Sam Munson went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs and league player of the year David Bergin was 2-for-3 with a homer, three RBIs and three runs scored. Bergin batted .540 with seven hits and 11 total bases in the Bulldogs' four wins at Hunter Wright Stadium.
Anthony Boix homered and singled for TWC (38-18), and Stephen Branca matched his two hits, two RBIs and two runs. Wesleyan scored five unearned runs in the first two innings, and winning pitcher Josh McDaniel allowed only eight hits and one run in his six innings.
Tim DeVito was 3-for-4 and Joe Engle was 2-for-3 with an RBI for Union (45-11), which made four errors. The Kentucky team also should make the NAIA field with its No. 7 national ranking. Opening-round participants will be announced today.

Former Chattanooga Christian standout Seth Blevins, an All-AAC pitcher with the league's best earned run average (1.88), was honored as Montreat's overall male athlete of the year. He is ranked in the NAIA in ERA, opponents' batting average (.207), innings pitched (91), total strikeouts (79), walks per nine innings (1.38) and hits allowed per nine innings (6.63).
Blevins, who graduates Saturday with a degree in environmental studies and a minor in biology, has served on the Athletic Advisory Committee and the FCA leadership team at the North Carolina school. He has a 3.4 grade point average.

All three of the Holland girls claim to have been involved in a car accident at the time of death but Kane knew there was much more to the story. Sixteen years later, Kane, now a respected journalist, plans to write a book solving the long buried mystery. But his drive to uncover the truth is tempered by his continued attraction to Claire. If she is involved, can he risk exposing her?

Welcome to the top four, Boston Celtics fans!
That's right – after an 82-game regular season and two rounds of hard-fought battles, we have our 2014 NBA Conference Finals ready to begin tomorrow. In the West, we have the San Antonio Spurs, playing in what seems like their 20th straight Western Conference Finals, against the NBA's MVP, Kevin Durant, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. It may not be the match-up everyone wanted, but since these teams were the top two teams out West all season, it's not exactly surprising that they would be duking it out for the right to represent the West in the Finals.
Come to think of it, our match-up here in the Eastern Conference is kind of ho-hum as well, as it's yet another case of the number one and number two seed doing exactly what was expected of them. You can argue that the way the Indiana Pacers played in the first round against the Atlanta Hawks made this Heat-Pacers showdown anything but certain, but don't forget: the Boston Celtics needed seven games to defeat the Chicago Bulls in their first round of their 2008 playoffs, and that series only made them stronger.
Spurs-Thunder. Heat-Pacers. Four powerhouses – but only two can survive and advance to the NBA Finals.
Time to vote – who ya got?

Texas Chili in New York City
Where to find a great bowl of red — Texas-style chili — in the Big Apple
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
As winter fast approaches, I find myself in search of a steaming non-vegan Bowl O'Red Texas beef chili.
We're talking chile con carne sin frijoles. NO BEANS! But where to get the best in New York City without hopping a plane to Texas?
Click here for New York's Best Bowls of Red
"Chili concocted outside of Texas is usually a weak, apologetic imitation of the real thing. One of the first things I do when I get home to Texas is to have a Bowl of Red. There is simply nothing better," said Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States.
I have to agree with Lyndon. As a real Texan, he would also never abide his Bowl O' Red having anything in it other than meat. But I'm even willing to overlook a few stray beans here and there in New York City if the chili is also made with love.
After much sampling, check out the best Bowls of Red that New York City has to offer.

I was born and raised in Texas. I lived and worked there for decades. I lived in and worked as a cook in Manhattan from 2001-06 and I never had a decent bowl of chili the whole time I was there. Well, except for the chili I made in my kitchen on the upper east side. I certainly did not eat at every eatery, but I tried and the Tex-Mex food sucked.

I have tried many FM transmitters but the reality is that the sounds quality on every one I've tried has been sub-par at best.
This past weekend I had the luxury of connecting my iPhone to a Sony head unit w/ iPod controls (both controls and sound through the 30 pin connector) and the sound was AWESOME!!!! it was a bit cumbersome to switch albums and artists through the head unit though.... you can only scroll through lists of either Artists or Albums so if you have more than one album per artist you have to scroll in Album view to get to them. Also, there was a 2-3 second delay between hitting the button and having the Artist or Album change to the next one which made scrolling kind of slow. Also you can't browse your music library from the head unit while listening to a particular album. Once you scroll to the next Artist or Album it automatically plays.
So, definitely a few moderately annoying drawbacks.... but the improvement in sound quality was undeniable and totally worth it. That being said, I'm gonna look for a head unit w/ iPod controls that addresses these issues. I hope I findd one.... wish me luck!!!

Tunica Times
Derelict building may come down soon
In response to a visit from several local merchants earlier this month, town officials unanimously agreed to hold a public hearing to decide a course of action for a property on Kestevan Alley.
The building, once an apartment complex, was damaged in a fire in the fall of 2011. Nearby business owners raised concerns about the safety of the structure, saying boards and caution tape over entryways had been removed.
Mayor Chuck Cariker said a public hearing would allow owner Hosia Nickson a chance to respond and the town to formally determine if the property is "a menace to the health, safety and wellness of the community." The hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 10 at Town Hall.
Police arrest two in recent break-ins
Law enforcement officials are asking for patience from the public in the wake of a rash of burglaries since early September.
In a neighborhood safety meeting in the municipal courtroom Tuesday night, Tunica Police Chief Richard Veazey said investigations into residential and commercial break ins are ongoing.
"(We have) pieces of a puzzle with no picture, and we have to put it together," Veazey told citizens who attended. "It takes time."
TPD investigator Michael Nichols said that two people have been arrested and other arrests are pending in burglaries at JA Motors and Tunica County Community Development Coalition offices. Nichols said there are several nonlocal persons of interest in a residential break-in and one in custody in another county. There are also persons of interest in several shed break-ins, he added.
In the Pink
Tunica Elementary students and staff put on their pink clothing and raised funds with a walk benefitting the Susan G. Komen® Foundation on Friday, Oct. 17.
Fire District cash crunch could affect insurance, response times
Residents and businesses in the special fire district in North Tunica County may be in for an unpleasant surprise when their insurance policies come up for renewal. That's because the fire rating for that part of the county is in danger of dipping from seven to eight or nine.
"When Harrah's shut down, it killed us," said North Tunica Fire Chief Jimmie Neal.
The fire district immediately lost $100,000 worth of value, he says.
Casino appeals county budget, tax increase
HWCC-Tunica, owner and operator of the Hollywood Casino in Tunica County, has appealed to the Circuit Court to set aside the county's fiscal year 2015 budget and tax levy, based on nine exceptions to recent activity by the Board of Supervisors.
The Bill of Exception/Notice of Appeal was filed Friday, October 10, and cites the Board's failure in August and September to follow proper procedure in giving notice and approving the new budget and levy.
"Pursuant to Mississippi law, the Board failed to properly disclose its proposed budget," HWCC attorney Tom Tucker III of Tucker Selden & Tucker, PLLC wrote in a cover letter addressed to Board of Supervisors president James Dunn. "Pursuant to Mississippi law, the Board failed to properly advertise the adoption of the proposed 2014-2015 budget and tax increase, and to otherwise follow Mississippi's statutory requirements regarding adopting budgets and increasing taxes.

Judge: No public defender in Dumpster meat case
By Joe Beck - email@example.com
Rodney L. Cole Sparks, a Front Royal businessman facing charges of selling tainted meat from his store at 654 W. 11th St., said Tuesday he would represent himself in court after his public defender withdrew from the case and Circuit Judge Dennis L. Hupp refused to appoint a new one.
Hupp concluded Sparks has enough money to hire his own attorney after poring over financial statements listing Sparks' income and property owned in Front Royal and Monrovia, Md.
Hupp said the financial statements included a tax assessment that pegged the value of Sparks' Maryland home and its 6-acre lot at $398,000 and the purchase value of his store property in Front Royal at $62,000. Hupp said Sparks also appeared to have a positive cash flow from his business, a finding that Sparks disputed vigorously in an interview after the hearing.
Sparks is charged with 10 counts of offering adulterated and misbranded meat for sale in his salvage store, Rodney's Discount Foods.
The criminal complaint filed against Sparks describes meat found by state inspectors at the store as "putrid, decomposed, unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome and ... unfit for human food."
The complaint also states that an investigation traced the meat back to the Food Lion Supermarket in Berryville, where store employees said they had seen Sparks "on numerous dates" taking discarded food from the store's Dumpster.
Sparks told Hupp that he could not afford his own attorney, despite the judge's finding that Sparks was not eligible for a public defender. Sparks represented himself after Assistant Public Defender Margarita Wood withdrew as his court-appointed attorney at the beginning of the hearing.
"I think my communication between my client and me has deteriorated to the point where I cannot adequately represent him," Wood told Hupp.
"My client believes I have been economically influenced," she added.
The hearing was scheduled after Commonwealth's Attorney Brian Madden asked for proof that Sparks lacked the money to pay for his own attorney. Under questioning from Madden, Sparks said his store is open four days a week, and he spends much of his remaining time scouring stores in Pennsylvania and West Virginia for merchandise that he buys for resale at his Front Royal business.
Sparks told Madden the names of the stores he visited, but couldn't remember the names of the towns in which they are located.
Sparks fumed at the judge's decision to deny him a public defender in a later interview.
"It's just the good old boys," he said of the outcome of the hearing.
Sparks insisted his store has a negative cash flow, and he has been denied a loan for lack of proof that he has been earning money.
"Just because I have property, they think I can do something with it," Sparks said, adding that he believed his store "can be a good business if people just let me do it."
Sparks also complained about a pair of state food inspectors who attended the hearing but were not called to testify after waiting all morning for the case to be called.
"That's a waste of taxpayers' dollars for them to come here for no reason at all," he said.

Allowing Rodney to have a public defender would have been "a waste of taxpayers' dollars. So glad to see the truth coming out. So glad to see the Commonwealth of Virginia doing their job and the inspectors doing their job. Very refreshing to see justice being done in this case. Very glad to see his picture posted so everyone can see who has been in some dumpsters; always helps to put a face with a story. Looking forward for more information about Rodney Sparks. Thanks Virginia.
Thanks to the Commonwealth for not allowing Mr. Sparks to pull yet another scam on the citizens of Virginia, glad to see his picture out there so folks will be aware of who he is, Mr Sparks should look at all his receipts to know where the stores are located that he claims he purchase merchandise from, oh, that`s right, dumpsters don`t give out receipts.
How low will you go? Rodney Sparks, let's all keep that name in mind in case he opens another little business.
It's amazing to me that anyone would try to pull off this kind of scam, with no regard for the unsuspecting people who deal with him, but then he believes he's entitled to a "free" attorney too.
Sparks should try his hand at politics next; sounds like a natural to me.
Maybe Food Lion and other stores should start securing these dumpsters. Wonder how many people became ill or worse, and never suspected tainted meat? Hope they throw the book at him and send a message to future crooks.
How does anyone live on a business that supports a negative cash flow? Who pays Rodney's bills? Everyone has bills. Electric, telephone, medical, cable, food, clothes, schooling for children, insurance, vehicles, mortgages, etc. I am a bit confused. Also, how does a businessman buy merchandise for his store to sell and not keep receipts for business tax records? Most receipts have the store name, telephone number and address on them so he should be able to tell where he has been by simply looking at his receipts. This story sounds fishy I believe. Most stores have merchandise delivered to them in trucks. I know this because I have seen bread trucks, etc. outside of grocery stores unloading bread or whatever. Who would go to work everyday and not bring home a paycheck? No me - I am a lot smarter than that.
Its simple Sassy,he`s a scam artist of the worst kind,victimizing the poor, getting rich, pretending to help low income families while he`s selling them bad meat that only God knows where it has been, now he`s calling the Judge, Commonwealth Attorney, and the meat inspector "the good old boys" for doing their jobs, I hope they put this sick guy in jail for along time, I believe otherwise he will keep doing this until he is stopped.
I'm sorry you all are hillarious. I'm sure I'm going to be verbally beaten for this....but..
I bet most of the ones speaking on here do not live in "the village". From what I'm hearing from something on here a while back, that the place is still in operation. I've visited this establishment before all this publicity, and my 2 visits, never did purchase any frozen meats, just some good ole potatoe chips. The price was right.
If I ride by their tommorow, and I see the open sign "on". I may still go inside and get me some chips.
I guess, if i really heard of anyone dying from this store. Has anyong gotten sick? Maybe? Or maybe I havent been following the news on this? T
I believe that this store should not be allowed to sell any food item without a bill of sale from a producer/distributor because of his previous actions. I believe that this store should be inspected everyday to make sure no food item has been opened or re-packaged. No one should have to buy and eat "used" food. Because that is what I call it once it is thrown into a hot, rat-infested, stinky outside dumpster. I also call it 100 percent profit in the cash register.
This is awful, the man knew the meat he was selling was tainted. This is an example of someone profiting from the disadvantaged. I think his punishment should be eating some of this meat. One may not get sick and die from it but it certainly is a risk of getting very ill. Once meat starts the decomposition process bacteria starts its job. Many times when bacteria is frozen, or re frozen, it can survive the conditions. It will simply resume where it left off when thawed. Some bacteria can survive extreme heat, meaning cooking does nothing. A person who sells tainted meat knows he is selling bad meat. He does not need to be a scholar to know what he is doing is wrong or dangerous.
And for those who think I am over the top on this, you obviously have never had an illness from bad meat. I cannot describe the pain or the gruesome details in a message.
Why is this store still open for business? I hope the Commonwealth of Virginia realizes that they are now 100 percent liable for what happens to people if they become ill. Only you Virginia can prevent any death or illness associated with this store. You now have full knowledge of what is happening. It is up to you to CLOSE DOWN THIS STORE.
I would not cut any slack on someone who would take advantage of people of lesser standing than himself. How dare he think he can break the rules set up by the Food and Drug Administration as far as selling tainted meat. Someone I know bought meat from there and cooked and ate it and became sick. He didn't think of anyone else but himself, so why would he expect the tax payers to cut him slack. YEAH RIGHT!

Several nebulae—including the Flame nebula, the large bright spot—shine within a star-making region of gas and dust. Released July 2, the image was taken by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
The Flame nebula sits on the eastern hip of Orion the Hunter, a constellation most easily visible in the Northern Hemisphere during winter evenings, according to the WISE website.
The red arc at the lower right is the star Orionis, the upper star in the sword of Orion, which sits in a blue dwarf star system about 1,070 light-years away.
This is a recent true color image taken by Nasa and the Japanese Space Agency showing Venus in transit around our sun.
Outfitted in a homemade spacesuit, "Camilla" the rubber chicken rides into the stratosphere on March 3 as part of an experiment to measure solar radiation at point-blank range.
Students with Bishop Union High School in California launched the chicken—the mascot of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory—before and during a solar storm. For both flights Camilla wore a pair of radiation badges of the same kind used by medical technicians and nuclear workers to assess dosages.
The results will help the students design a future astrobiology project to test whether certain species of microbes can survive the harsh conditions at the edge of space.
In the meantime, his brother was found being choked by a strange man in an arcade in Japan.
Alan Shepard - First American in Space
On May 5, 1961, NASA launched the first American into space. Alan Shepard took his historic ride in a Freedom 7 capsule, powered by a Redstone missile rocket. Shepard traveled to an altitude of 116 miles and returned to Earth in 15 minutes. From his capsule, Shepard saw the curvature of the Earth, and described a view never seen by any American before.
On May 8, Shepard traveled to the White House to receive a NASA Distinguished Service Medal from President John F. Kennedy. Three weeks later, JFK would announce to a joint session of Congress the goal of sending an American safely to the Moon by the end of the decade.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Mercury-Redstone 3 flight, so as you enjoy your first Saturday in May, look up to the skies and raise your glass to Alan Shepard - first American in space. Happy weekend!

Most well known as the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights), auroras are some of the most beautiful naturally occurring phenomenon that our planet has to offer. Earth possesses a magnetic field, basically an electric dipole (having both North and South) tilted at 11 degrees with respect to the rotational axis. Auroras are caused by radiation from the sun, known as solar wind, interacting with this magnetic field. Charged ions are produced in the sun's corona, and are added to the solar wind. The magnetic field is strongest at Earth's poles, and that is why auroras are typically confined to these regions.
Charged particles form the sun occasionally get caught in Earth's magnetic field as they pass by and interact. Once they are trapped in the upper atmosphere, they react with other gases and produce the famous lights. Collisions between the highly charged solar wind particles and atmospheric molecules causes energy emission, visible as light. Electrons in the molecules are excited to higher energy levels and then release photons when they fall back to lower energy levels. Each different reaction, causes by different ions colliding with air particles, causes a different color to result. For example, neutral nitrogen particles will create a purple-pink color, while ionic nitrogen results in a blue color. The most common aurora, a yellowish-green color, is causes by an ion crashing into oxygen at low altitudes.
Tendrils of hot dust and gas glow against a background of stars in a new picture from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer, or GALEX. The spacecraft's ultraviolet vision allows scientists to study space objects across ten billion years of cosmic history.
Situated about 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the swan, the nebula is the remnant of a supernova that occurred between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago. The wispy structure glows because its gases are still being heated by the shockwave from the star explosion.

Sheriff's Online Database Leaks Info On Informants
Soulskill posted more than 3 years ago | from the second-verse-same-as-the-first dept.185
Tootech writes with this snippet from NPR: "A Colorado sheriff's online database mistakenly revealed the identities of confidential drug informants and listed phone numbers, addresses and Social Security numbers of suspects, victims and others interviewed during criminal investigations, authorities said. The breach potentially affects some 200,000 people, and Mesa County sheriff's deputies have been sifting through the database to determine who, if anyone, is in jeopardy. ... The FBI and Google Inc. are trying to determine who accessed the database, the sheriff said. Their concern: That someone may have copied it and could post it, WikiLeaks-style, on the Internet. 'The truth is, once it's been out there and on the Internet and copied, you're never going to regain total control,' Hilkey said. Thousands of pages of confidential information were vulnerable from April until Nov. 24, when someone notified authorities after finding their name on the Internet. Officials said the database was accessed from within the United States, as well as outside the country, before it was removed from the server."

Shemale Pornstar showcases some of the most beautiful shemales I have ever seen. Having visited plenty of sites devoted to chicks with dicks over the years, that's realy saying something.
The homepage has quite a few tabbed pages to browse and some of them have further subsections, so the best way to find all the content is by using the advanced search engine. Leave "all ethnicities" checked off and simply click either the "photo sets" or "movies" button at the bottom. It' the best way to ensure you'll find every single scorching-hot shemale. Doing that also makes it easy to count the collection, so let me give you the numbers.
The site has 434 videos with mostly high-def playback (some include a mobile option) and you can also stream them online in a Silverlight player. You will see some lovely trannies pleasuring themselves in many of the vids. These scenes feature up and cummers and some of the hottest tranny pornstars in the biz. Check out Wendy Williams in all her stunning glory and Natalia Coxx, who's making a big splash on the scene.
There are hardcore movies that show shemale-on-shemale action as well as shemales with females and males. There are some hung hotties, too, with cocks over 7.5 inches long. You can also find some transsexual bareback sex, which I always consider special because it's generally hard to find in the Tgirl porn world.
There are also 446 sets of photos, many of which include shots of stripteases, masturbation, blowjobs and, of course, hardcore fucking. You'll be happy to know that the photos are big, crisp and high-res, even the vintage shoots, so go ahead and grab as many Zip files as you want.
There aren't any bonus sites, but you'll find some onsite bonus vids and pics. Updates continue to be posted each week and you often get two new movies on the same day. There's already a healthy amount of content, though, and so much of it is high in quality, not to mention that many of these Tgirls are incredibly hot. Shemale Pornstar is worth the money.

This is quite disappointing really. They are only a few sets of the big names on here, and not very good ones. There are not many solo shots at all either. The picture size is OK, but the video I downloaded (which was quite recent of Jessica Fox was pretty low quality in terms of rez - not pin sharp like other websites. Not many retro sets either.

text: Big Bang Coffee Shop Sign looks liek a Denny's sign? Well it once was a Denny. It changed names a few times. During the filming of Drive, the movie, i believe it was called Nibblers. Now its Big Bang Coffee Shop and its going to be a Denny's again soon. We stopped by just to check it out. It was empty (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. but you wont have to wait long for a seat or your food!) I got onion rings, best onion rings I ever had (so there's that). I really liked the atmosphere of this place. I really felt like how a diner should feel not like a restaurant like Denny's.
