Sulfur compound levels at the King George Landfill hover at 1,300 per million, when the average landfill has about 40 parts per million. That may be the cause of horrendous odors
By CATHY DYSON
King George County officials and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality may have discovered what's caused horrendous odors at the landfill.
The amount of a sulfur compound being generated is 32 times higher than what's typically found in landfill waste, said James LaFratta, air compliance engineer with the DEQ in Woodbridge.
The levels of hydrogen sulfide--a gas that smells like rotten eggs--usually average about 40 parts per million in landfills, LaFratta said.
Levels at King George were 1,300 parts per million in June. Officials believe the high amounts were generated by waste ash from a coal-fired power plant in Alexandria.
"They've got a lot of hydrogen sulfide in the gas," LaFratta said. "And humans have a very low threshold [to it]. It doesn't take a lot of gas escaping for people to notice it nearby."
After numerous complaints from residents who live near the landfill, especially those at Oakland Park subdivision, DEQ officials started monitoring the odors in January.
King George supervisors periodically addressed the problem. They said the unusually wet weather in 2009 produced more gas. As a result, Waste Management, which operates the King George facility, drilled more wells to collect more gas.
Then, Waste Management opened its gas-to-energy plant in May. Methane gas, a natural byproduct of landfills, would be processed through the new plant and converted into electricity.
Waste Management fired up its turbines, then did emission tests. Those tests showed the extremely high levels of hydrogen sulfide, LaFratta said.
Waste Management workers believe they pinpointed the source of the problem. The landfill had been accepting waste from a coal-fired power plant in Alexandria. The coal ash had been treated with a sodium sulfate that's typically not a problem by itself, LaFratta said.
But when it mixes with other waste--and moisture--the compound breaks down quickly, causing sulfur to do the same. When the elements team up with hydrogen, the smelly hydrogen sulfide gas is produced.
Ash deposited at the landfill from nearby Birchwood Power Plant is still being accepted at the landfill. Its ash is treated with a lime slurry mix, which creates a calcium sulfide that doesn't break down as quickly or cause the unpleasant smell hydrogen sulfide does, LaFratta said.

Propping Up Your iPad: 3 Stands for Watching Video in Bed [REVIEW]
The iPad is great for reading and browsing, but it's even better for watching video in bed. We got our hands on three iPad accessories that can also act as stands, propping up your iPad so you can you watch video hands-free. Before you start snickering about the whole bed thing, think of how often you might want to stop holding your heavy iPad and just have it sitting next to you on a stable platform. For instance, imagine travelers, weary from their voyages and plopping down on a hotel room bed.

Oakdale High School senior Serina Ahm was recently named the sole winner of a national scholarship offered by Jostens Renaissance, an arm of the Jostens corporation.
The Jostens Renaissance motto is "What you recognize, reinforce, and respect gets results." Find out the results that came from Ahm's inspiring story of believing and achieving in high school in the May 25 issue of The Oakdale Leader.
The City of Oakdale's swimming pool is going to be open for the summer. The Oakdale Irrigation District's Board of Directors approved in a 4-1 vote to give the city $71,500 for the Parks and Recreation Public Swim, Water Safety, and Water Conservation programs. Director Herman Doornenbal was the dissenting vote.
A special trip during spring break for a group of 16 Oakdale Junior High School seventh graders came complete with plenty of learning opportunities in science and history, as well as a significant amount of exercise and sight seeing. Each day was chockfull of these experiences for the students and their chaperones as they embarked on an adventure in the southwest.
Three Oakdale seniors snagged the highest level of recognition for four years of hard work, sacrifice and dedication when they were named co-valedictorians and salutatorian.
A play about the Gold Rush helped fourth graders at Cloverland Elementary School transfer what they learned from a textbook and get a better idea of its realities and have some fun, too. Cloverland teachers Christina Carmelich and Cindy Bellinger assigned roles to their students who then learned lines in a musical called "Gold Dust or Bust."
The seventh grade southwest trip turned into a harrowing experience for 13-year-old Dustin Hoy in its final few days. According to teacher Fred Yerzy, on the fourth day of the adventure, the group completed a difficult hike into the Grand Canyon. They ate dinner at the Cameron Trading Post and Dustin complained that he wasn't feeling well and vomited.
The Oakdale Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees ratified the tentative agreement between the district and the classified employees union in an action at the May 9 regular meeting. The California School Employees Association (CSEA) #830 and the district negotiated and the membership voted in favor of ratification. The agreement is fair and equitable to all parties involved, said Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources and Superintendent-elect Marc Malone.
The Oakdale FFA chapter held its annual awards banquet at the Bianchi Community Center on May 3, handing out numerous achievement awards for its members, as well as recognizing parents and others in the community who've been supportive.
Administrative Changes At Schools
Oakdale High School senior Daniel Dunning, considered an outstanding and well-rounded student, was recently named the winner of the Leo Volz Scholarship. The prestigious and coveted scholarship pays 100 percent of an Oakdale student's college tuition and books for four years of undergraduate education at an accredited two- or four-year college of their choice.
What Oakdale High School senior will have his four-year college education paid for in full due to being an outstanding, well-rounded student? He's the winner of a special scholarship endowed by a former local farmer. Find out who the 2011 Leo Volz Scholarship winner is in the May 4 issue of The Oakdale Leader.
While their peers are out on the playground for lunchtime recess, more than a dozen students at Cloverland Elementary School are meeting, by choice, with adults to read books.
Oakdale Junior High School seventh graders, teachers and parent chaperones are off on a Southwest adventure, including some exploration of the Grand Canyon, for a six-day educational tour during Spring Break, April 25-30.
Two local educators or community members who make a significant difference in the community through their contributions toward the enhancement and improvement of education and the enrichment of the lives of children are selected by the Oakdale Teachers Association each year to receive the California Teachers Association School Bell award. They help instill in others the knowledge, judgment and values that shape society and enhance the lives of future generations.
Oakdale High School art teacher Nancy Kern, librarian Audrey Rinna, and history teacher Marty Fauria had a vision to extend the historical mural that is housed in the school library.
It was a full house and a packed agenda as the Oakdale Joint Unified School Board convened at the OJUSD Technology Center Monday night, due to a conflicting schedule with Oakdale City Council.
Magnolia Elementary School welcomed the Oakdale Join Unified School District's recent three-day weekend with a little extra special Fall Festival Celebration. On Thursday evening, Oct. 30, the school's administration, Parent Teacher Club and tireless work of Event Chair Teresa Medeiros also celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the school campus.
Oakdale schools are busy this week, as they make the most of a short schedule and Red Ribbon Week observation. Red Ribbon Week is hosted nationwide the last full week of October.
Class time will soon be made a little more exciting for Fair Oaks Special Day Class teacher Elizabeth Thompson and her seven students. Thompson was recently awarded California Casualty's $2,500 Academic Award to use toward the betterment of her classroom.
Oakdale High School senior Rachelle Pabalan has kicked off the 'scholarship season' of the 2014-15 school year with her recent earning of a $10,000 Scholarship from Nordstrom. The high school senior was surprised by a check presentation, as well as a new Mac Book Air during her 6th period class on Monday.
Oakdale Joint Unified School District's Monday night meeting began with a closed session, and Superintendent Marc Malone addressed those on hand for the public portion of the meeting, confirming the expulsion of two OJUSD students had been approved by the board at that closed session.
In a day and age of social media, smart phones, cell phones and instant accessibility, students and parents alike may need to be more aware of the messages and words they choose to share.
For the artist at heart or a community group looking for a way to leave their mark, Cloverland Elementary School may have just the project to fit that need. This Friday, Oct. 3 at 3 p.m. work will begin on the Holistic Playground project.
Downtown windows have been painted, dresses and top hats purchased, floats planned. This can only mean one thing for the City of Oakdale … Homecoming Week has arrived.

A Strategy for the Integration of
Professional Practice within Ph.D. Study
Dr. Mark Evans, Senior Lecturer in Industrial Design Department of Design and Technology | Loughborough University, UK
As designers make the career transition from practitioner to educator, it is all too easy to loose the core competencies of professional practice as the contrasting role of the academic takes over. This can be compounded by a requirement of institutions to focus nonteaching activity on research and, possibly, attaining a Ph.D. However, this progression may not necessarily be in the best interests of students, where emerging skills and knowledge are most effectively developed through the direct demonstration of technique, critique, and modification of designs through drawing and provision of practice-based case study material that has been undertaken by the tutor.
This paper explores the nature of master's and Ph.D. study in design and identifies the development of a methodology for a Ph.D. that enabled the researcher to be actively involved in the industrial design of four consumer products. The key outcomes of this strategy were that professional skills and knowledge were maintained and extensive material made available for undergraduate and masters teaching. These outcomes were not regarded as a consequence of the research activity, but very much at its core, being orchestrated through a perceived need to maintain professional skills and knowledge and make a full contribution to the quality and relevance of student learning.

What is meant by COMPOUND IGNORANCE ?

Answers (2)
Jahl al-Murakkab or compound ignorance, on the other hand, is by far the real problem. Most of what is posted on the Internet nowadays or what is contained in some pseudo-scholarly books or propounded by so-called Islamic groups or believed by some sincere but misguided 'students of knowledge' is characterized by Jahl al-Murakkab, the disease of those who say: "I do know, I do know, I do know," and they know less than nothing. Of beneficial knowledge they are completely deprived, and mostly possess useless knowledge. This is not actually due to the nature of their material or their source but to the disease in their hearts: their nafs and their ego pushing them into denial and obduracy beyond limits of which they themselves have no idea.

Lafayette police say they have found the clothes a suspected bank robber was wearing when he hit a credit union this afternoon.
According to Cpl. Paul Mouton, investigators found the clothes in the woods while searching for the suspect. KATC's Kari Beal reports that police chased the suspect on foot shortly after arriving on scene. The suspect was able to escape and remains at large.
Police do not know yet if the suspect is connected to any of the other robberies that have taken place in Lafayette over the last three weeks. However, investigators say they believe the suspect in this case is working alone.
According to investigators, the suspect robbed the Section 705 Federal Credit Union on West Willow Street around 11 a.m. at gunpoint. No one inside the credit union was injured during the incident.
J. Wallace James Elementary School, which is approximately a block down the road, was placed on lockdown while police searched a perimeter set up in the area. Four police officers are stationed outside of the school. However, officials say this is protocol in a situation such as this.
Police say the suspect is a black man wearing light-colored pants, a grey jacket, and a yellow and black mask.
If you know anything about this incident, call Lafayette Crimestoppers at 232-TIPS.

Occupation: Actor, Writer
My Shift of Habit is: I've gotten a lot better at recycling
If you can ask everyone in the world to shift one habit it would be: using transportation that is more fuel efficient and environmentally sensitive
Proudest Moment: I feel I could be doing much more but I guess there's a sense of satisfaction in participating in the BP Solar Neighbors program, where I got solar panels put in my home and at the same time BP donated a solar system to a low income family in California – permanently reducing their energy bill while being more environmentally responsible.
Wildest Dream: That the solutions offered in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth are enacted by governments around the world beginning with ours
Inspiration: I think this quote from Emerson is inspiring "The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship."
My perfect planet is: Its pretty perfect the way it is, isn't it? I guess that's the whole point we gotta keep it this way.

Survival manual for trust and investment bankers
Book Review: Successfully serving affluent begins not in numbers but in understanding
- |
- Written by Will Taylor
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
It is difficult to find a more competitive business than providing financial advice. And the terms of the competition keep changing.
In 2007 Stephen Gresham wrote the original Advisor for Life: Become the Indispensable Financial Advisor to Affluent Families, which focused on aging Baby Boomers. His most recent book, The New Advisor for Life, offers many of the same basic but often missed pieces of advice that can help a banker to become, prosper, and enjoy the sometimes rough- and-tumble business of the financial advisor. However …
This update goes deeper into many of the items previously covered and includes factors Gresham, a veteran financial executive, didn't cover four years ago. These include today's environment of market losses, ever-changing technology, and new generations of investors who at times appear to be from completely different cultures.
This update goes deeper into many of the items previously covered and includes factors Gresham, a veteran financial executive, didn't cover four years ago. These include today's environment of market losses, ever-changing technology, and new generations of investors who at times appear to be from completely different cultures.
Getting ready to enter (and survive) the financial fray
Anyone with investable assets may be pursued by a wide variety of players--banks, brokerage firms, Registered Investment Advisors, insurance companies, accounting firms, and credit unions are the main ones--but the chief battle is for the opportunity to provide financial advice to the affluent. Not only is it difficult to obtain clients, but also to keep them over the long term, which may include multiple generations of a family.
A short but powerful list of principles for becoming and remaining an "Advisor of Life" is provided very early in the book. This listing describes why a client pays a financial advisor. According to Gresham one must be: available, concerned, informed, and also opinionated and inspirational. The book expands on these basic characteristics.
The book is quite detailed in illustrating what it takes to become the financial advisor of the most sought-after clients: the affluent. I appreciated the upfront attitude of the book as it boldly expresses the need for the financial advisor to develop an investment philosophy and process.
If the advisor has a clear understanding of what he or she believes, the process of successfully delivering that service can follow. The prospective client does not want an advisor still trying figure out what they believe and how to provide financial services. The prospect wants to have confidence in the advisor and the service that follows.
Basic points that must be known by every advisor are summarized. Items such as setting goals, defining risk, obtaining diversification, and finding alternate investments are outlined. As an experienced trust officer who deals with these items almost daily, I found it commendable to see these fundamental items clearly illustrated. It is discouraging to see prospective clients working through their investment concerns because of poor advice from an earlier advisor experience--even though it is a productive source of new business.
Setting goals matched to client needs
Gresham's chapter on setting goals is especially good. Advisors that have a limited inventory of items for sale or that they want to sell should work through these pages. Our clients have many needs, which include the investment of assets for pleasure, gain and/or income.
Consider the wide variety of assets that the affluent may have, want, or may be considering: vacation homes, rental real estate, and business interests are often very high on the lists. These items are quite far from the decision of which fund or ETF to pitch.
The "advisor for life" is aware of the importance of the other assets and helps in the decision making with a focus on costs, tax consequences, and estate planning issues. The financial advisor is in position to be a coach and to advise that perhaps priorities need to be reconsidered or to understand that the client is going to spend some money on assets meant more for enjoyment than growth and income.
Uneasy lies the head with money on its mind
Ads for state lotteries and the like to the contrary, being affluent does not mean there are no concerns or worries.
The book encourages the advisor for life to be aware of a key statistic:
"88.6% of millionaires feared losing their wealth: not a little bit of their money--a lot or all of it."
Gresham quoted this statistic from Cultivating the Middle Class Millionaire, by Russ Alan Prince with David Geracioti. And he added, also from the book, that the more wealth held by the individuals in Prince's study, the more they feared losing it.
Most advisors are not aware of this deep-seated fear. So, the book admonishes the would- be advisor for life to be very aware that "protection of wealth, not growth of wealth, should their number-one priority."
Indeed, the growth of wealth doesn't rank as the second-most-important issue, either.
The second biggest concern is reducing the impact of taxes.
Read this book and you'll soon realize that the size of the disconnect between what advisors think their clients worry about and what actually keeps them up at night will be a primary factor in the financial advisor's success or failure. The smaller the gap, the better the advisor will do.
Getting what you're worth for handling others' worth
The latter portion of the book works through the nuts and bolts of an advisor's business plan for a successful career. Chapters helpful to this effort include: "How to Price Your Unique Value"; "Driving Referrals"; "Selling Yourself"; and "Taking Care of Number One." They all focus on the financial advisor's ability to manage the business that is coming after becoming the "advisor for life."
These chapters are full of interesting ideas and recommendations. Various hot buttons are outlined such as aged parents, fear of incapacity, divorce, and "What do I do with the Money?" The book suggests some strategies to consider that will bring up many "oh, yeah" moments.
Tools for the financial advisor
This book is somewhat unusual in that it also turns its lens into a mirror. The advisor for life should do some honest consideration of self and the needs and concerns one has. Time for work, study, play, and rest are recommended for long-term success. Each item is defined and examples are given. These are excellent tools that should be stressed in all walks of life.
The book ends with a Practice Analysis as an appendix. There are very detailed questions and ideas to consider. It is long exercise, but worth the time to complete, as it is an excellent way for the reader to obtain a very clear picture of any deficiencies. An example of an investment policy and spreadsheets for client analysis make another helpful appendix.
The book is above all else optimistic. The goal of becoming an advisor of life is presented and the author does not retreat from telling the reader how to attain the objective throughout the book. It is well worth the read.

Freerunner Post-Mortem
This Ludum Dare went much better than the last. I finished this year with hours to spare, last year, I was very close to the deadline. I think it was because I was more experienced this time. Now about this Ludum Dare:
The Good Bits:
- The idea worked well
- No major blocking bugs
- Random level generation saved me a lot of time
- The orange graphics for obstacles. This was inspired by mirrors edge and I think the bright colour in my otherwise quite dark, grey game really worked.
- Visual Studio 11. Once I got it fixed, it was a dream to work with. The intellisense is so much better now. Besides that I've always liked how Visual Studio has worked, it's clean and very usable.
- SFML. As before I used SFML for my game. This means, theoretically, it will also compile under Linux and OS X. Alongside that it made development easy and handled much of the boilerplate code for me.
- No soundtrack, I'm not good with music
- Albeit random generation saved me time it makes it very hard to control the difficult. So much so that currently, I believe there are still certain times when a move is impossible.
- Mixed graphical style. About half way through day 1 I completely redid the graphics however some things from the old style remain. Things such as the scaled low resolution graphics and also the basic stick-figure player sprite.
- Chronolapse, or more specifically mencoder. Turns out mencoder doesn't like 2560×1024 graphics. I ended up spending about an hour on the first day finding this out just so I could post the timelapse.
- Getting addicted to your own game. I ended up playing my game more on the second day than developing it. Although I didn't have anything major to have there were things I could have added.
My initial ideas
Day 2 Timelapse
Much shorter timelapse for today, I had much less to do. My finished game can be found in the entry section titled "Freerunner".
Very Finished
Food – Lunch day 2
Day 1 Timelapse
Timelapse for day 1. Time for sleep now. A day of music and polish tomorrow. It's nearly done!
Preview 3 – Now with more sound effects
Here's a few more hours work. I'm really liking how this is turning out, I hope you all enjoy it to. Please report any missing dependencies below, it's getting hard to keep track of since I have some installed myself.
Easter eggs..or shall I say Christmas eggs?
From lack of ideas I added a small Easter egg, I'll leave you guessing as to what it is. If you watch my time-lapse after it should give you an idea though.
Dinner Day 1
Blip bloop
Woot, I have sound effects…now…musics…hnnng. Also in my "I'm in" post I made a derp, I said I was using sfxr when I'm actually using bfxr.
My second meal…Kinda
Gameplay Complete – Graphics Complete – Audio…Ugh
So my game is playable, it has menus and text and graphics and controls. I'd go far to say this is the best game I've made yet. I'm really pleased with how it has come out. Now this means it's time for, audio. I plan on using sfxr and lmms, let's see how this works. Until then, have fun playing it sans audio.
You can download it at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11197643/ld22p2.zip .
I also have a version from three hours ago at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11197643/ld22p1.zip .

guest etc. styles: the bust a move pant
posted: January 9, 2014
When Young MC told us all to "bust a move" back in 1989, he couldn't have known that a yet-to-be-born Vancouver company would invent a pair of pants that could stylishly and easily do just that. From the studio to the street and back again, the Bust A Move Pant is "ideal for commuting," says Bianca, who recently posed for our friend Jonathan of Guest Etc.
Follow Guest Etc. on Instagram for more inspiration on how to rock your favourites between the studio and the street.

Couldn't you increase sales by increasing your size offerings. Crazy to stop at 12. People needing sizes larger than this are also into fitness (duh).
ugh why so expensive
So sad that these pants weren't even made in a size 12! Love the Urbanite and bought 2 pairs, but was told these only went to size 10! Wondering why?
I'm so excited to see that Lululemon now offers clothes that can easily be worn to work, out and about town, or even to evening cocktails at a nice restaurant. Is there anyplace I can go to see a whole collection of Lulu's more transferable clothing options?
Bought these pants…….total garbage. I wore my pair twice then fell when I slipped on ice and now these pants are useless cause there's a giant hole in the knee.
Glad I donated $140 to lululemon for nothing

Here's a sampling of what you'll find in recent issues of Ambassador:
Ambassador's 2014 Fall issue is the real deal, even if some of the culinary products described in the cover story, "Knocking Off Made-in-Italy," aren't. Is that prosciutto at the supermarket real? The parmigiano at the restaurant? The story's about what we're losing when counterfeiters imitate Italy's most traditional and valued foods.
Also featured are the stories about hiking the Amalfi Coast; finding paradise in the Sabina Hills farming olives; Roman aqueducts in Italy today; Chianti Classico; plus a profile of "Forbidden Broadway" creator Gerard Alessandrini. In the departments, you'll find a diversity of fascinating people in our Paesani section, a Ciao Italia kitchen lesson on aged Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale, an interview with the director of the new documentary "Ivory Tower," book reviews including the new and delicious "How to Eataly"; chic gift ideas in Bottega NIAF; and much more!
Ambassador's 2014 Spring issue makes some waves with its cover story about surfing in Italy and the making of the new documentary about Italian American surfer Chris Del Moro's search for the perfect wave and his heritage. Also featured are the stories of stone carver Luigi Del Bianco's contributions to creating Mt. Rushmore and his grandson's crusade to secure Luigi's place in history; novelist Alan Champorcher scouting high-drama scenes for his new novel set in Rome; and pioneering wine importers Maria and Neil Empson of Empson & Co. Don't miss the story on how three Italian brothers are building amazing wood-fired brick pizza ovens in suburban Maryland for America's restaurants. And, in the departments, there's chic and fantasy products in Bottega NIAF, Easter recipes in Cia Italia, mini-profiles in Paesani, books you'll want to read in Between the Pages, plus cinema and sports!
The 2013 Winter issue of Ambassador features the always popular holiday culinary spread—though with a twist. This time, with Washington's remarkable Chef Fabio Trabocchi leading the way (see the cover photo), five Italian chefs give their take on "Untraditional Italian Holiday Cuisine," along with some wonderful recipes! Wash that down with the feature spotlighting Italy's most happening bubbly—Prosecco. And don't miss the stories on the making of a documentary about visionary architect Paolo Soleri, the Palentine Hill architectural digs, and a year-later review of the impact of the 2012 earthquake in Italy on the parmigiano, prosciutto and balsamico industries.

Check out the 2013 Fall issue of Ambassador magazine for features on Bruce Springsteen's tour last spring through Italy and his Italian roots; the hot Italian American ex-patriot agriturismo trend in Italy; ancient and modern pottery in Squillace; the rise of Nebbiolo wines beyond exquisite but pricey Barolos and Barbarescos; and a search for cannoli perfection. And make sure to turn to our brand new departments: In NIAF on Location, members and friends lead you through the Italian highlights—best Italian restaurants, festivals, markets, museums, etc.—in their hometowns; NIAF Bottega is a colorful splash of great Italian-style designs, finds and products; and Paesani offers short profiles of NIAF's persons of interest.

A Knox physical education teacher has been charged after he allegedly tried to get physical with his own student.
Robert "Ryan" Corbin, 27, a first-year teacher at Knox High School, is now facing two counts of Attempted Child Seduction, a Class D Felony.
NewsCenter 16 obtained the probable cause affidavit which outlined a short yet intense two-week-long cyber relationship between Corbin and a sixteen-year-old girl at Knox High School.
Police say Corbin interacted with the sophomore via dozens of Facebook messages; a private communication chain that has now become a public concern across Starke County and beyond.
After meeting the girl in mid-March, Corbin wrote her a message saying, "sorry no students as fb friends." According to court documents, the student wrote Corbin back and began a friendly dialogue that quickly turned sexual.
Investigators say within days, Corbin requested "kiss, butt and breast" photos of the girl who complied, sending the pictures from the confines of her Knox home.
However, police say things intensified when Corbin asked the sixteen-year-old to sneak out of her home because he was "turned-on" and he wanted her to quote, "physically take care of it."
Knox Community Schools Superintendent AJ Gappa told NewsCenter 16, this marks the first case of its kind in the three years he's been with the district.
Following Corbin's weekend arrest, Knox's seven-member school board unanimously voted Monday night to place the 27-year-old, who also serves as the boys and girls varsity swim coach, on paid suspension pending an ongoing investigation.
According to charging documents, Corbin has made the case a lot easier to prosecute after bluntly telling detectives he was sexually aroused and longed to use the underage student as quote, "something to work with." Yet he and the female high school student say they never acted on their physical intentions.
On Monday, Corbin posted his $15,000 bond at the Starke County Jail. His first court appearance will be next Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in front of Magistrate Jeanene Calabrese. It is there that he'll either plead guilty or not guilty.
Police say they were tipped-off about this crime by the victim's aunt who happened upon her niece's Facebook account. It was there that she found all 62-pages of sexually-charged messages and notified the girl's father, who called the Knox Police Department.
If you'd like to read the entire probable cause affidavit and police report for yourself, just click on the document attached to this story.
UPDATE: As of Wednesday, Corbin had hired attorney Nicholas Otis of of LaPorte-based Newby Lewis Kaminski & Jones LLP to represent him.
In a written media release, Otis said, "Established Indiana law does not support the charges of Attempted Child Seduction against Mr. Corbin. There is no evidence that Mr. Corbin was in the physical presence or immediate vicinity of the alleged victim when the alleged statements were made. Mr. Corbin looks forward to his day in court."

Looks like I should have posted this in the HALP forum. Could a mod please move it for me? Thank you.
I've been a prot warrior ever since I dinged 70 in BC and haven't changed to dps until Dual Spec was implemented. Tanking is easy for me... of course I've had lots more practice at that than at dpsing. I'm having tons of fun dpsing, the problem is... my dps is really bad!
Here is my armory link Thundercud - Cho'gall
I have pretty good gear, but I am stuck around 3k dps in Heroics and around 3.5-3.8k dps in raid...
I do the normal rotation... Rend>MS>OP>EX>Slam while watching for procs and refreshing Rend when it drops off. I've been told that I should be able to hit 5.5k dps easily with my gear. Could my hit/exp rating be gimping me that much or am I missing something else? Thanks for your help.
Looks like I should have posted this in the HALP forum. Could a mod please move it for me? Thank you.
You would probably do a lot more DPS if you were hit capped (264 hit rating or 8%), and also would probably be worth taking 1 point from improved execute and sticking it into weapon mastery so that you have 6.75% expertise rather than being 0.75% under the cap.
Other than that I'd expect about 5k - 5.5k dps on something like Patchwork fully 25 man raid buffed if the above were corrected. Try to get hold of Grim Toll if possible, would be a perfect way to sort out your hit problem.
One thing I can say for sure is your hit is definitely taking you down. Your hit is no where close to what it should be (264 == 8%). If you can not get it from gear gem and enchant for it. I see enough slots in your gear that you should get close to 264 pretty soon.
Your DPS would be fine in heroics as bosses are level 82 but raid bosses are level 83 and as you said yourself your DPS does not change much is a raid (with all the raid buffs warriors scale a lot) is because you are probably missing a good bit.
Also I suggest moving 1 point from improved execute to weapon mastery (or maybe both depends on what you desire) so get to Dodge cap of expertise. If you decide to move both you can drop dome expertise from your gear to get other stats.
Other than that its usually advised to go with rend glyph instead of baldestorm.
Edit: Demon got to it before me
Thanks for the tips. I never looked at Grim Toll properly so I only ever thought of it in terms of the arpen proc... not the hit... Stupid me! I'll adjust my spec too. Thanks.
If I can get my hands on Grim Toll, which trinket do you think I should replace?
Banner for sure, Greatness Proc is "very good" for any Melee DPS.
Edit: removed BiS Statement

Thanks. I suppose Death's Choice is the new BIS though right. My guild had it drop on their first Valkyr Twins kill. I wish I got to raid more... Of course with my current dps I wouldn't be raiding as dps that's for sure.
death's choice and the algalon10 trinket are the new bis combo for arms warriors, until then its grim toll/runestone and greatness.
grim toll will solve your hit problem and give you that powerful arp proc.
as for 5.5k dps, maybe on xt.

But as Destruyen said Deaths Choice and Dark Matter are BiS for Arms now.

Robert Griffin III: Rams 'Were Doing A Lot Of Dirty Things'
By ZAC BOYER
ASHBURN – At one point in the Washington Redskins' loss at St. Louis on Sunday, Robert Griffin III took a hit from one of the Rams' defensive players and told the quarterback they're going to hit him every play.
"I said, 'Isn't this football?'" Griffin said Wednesday. "It's nothing that I'm not used to. It was extremely weird the way they went about it, though."
Griffin was hit nearly 20 times in the Redskins' 31-28 loss to the Rams on Sunday, though he carried the ball only 11 times. At one point near the end of the first quarter, Griffin was hit by linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar after he threw the ball away, and Dunbar delivered an extra forearm to Griffin's head after he was already on the ground.
That shot was characteristic of the style of play during the entire game, where players on both sides delivered extra hits after the whistle.
"There was some extracurricular stuff going on after the plays," Griffin said. "They were doing a lot of dirty things. I still they have they have an extremely good team and that doesn't take anything away from them, but the game was unprofessional. Who am I to talk? I've barely been a pro for very long, but from what I experienced against the Saints compared to that game, it was definitely unprofessional and it does need to be cleaned up."
Part of that was on the officials, who failed to accurately monitor the players' aggression.
"As I said after the game, I thought the officials did not control the game, and that's a mistake," head coach Mike Shanahan said. "You've got to have people take control, and there wasn't any control in that game."
Griffin understands that defenses are going to continue to hit him hard and play him aggressively because of his ability to both run and throw the ball. It's something Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick has dealt with his entire career.
"Like I said, teams are going to try to hit me because they don't think I can take a hit, but I think I've proven over my career that I can," Griffin said. "It was extremely weird the way they went about it, though."

AUGUSTA COUNTY, Va. -- A fire Friday morning has displaced two people in Swoope.
The Deputy Chief of the Churchville Fire Department said the fire started around 12:30 a.m. on Ruger Lane.
One of the homeowners managed to get out safely. His granddaughter said he saw smoke rising from the basement and left the home. His wife was not at home at the time.
Firefighters say the fire probably started from an electrical issue in the basement.
About 30 fire fighters responded to this house fire. Hannah Bosserman, who is the granddaughter of the homeowners, said she could see the fire flaring up from outside of her bedroom window.
The kitchen, living room and dining room are ruined and there are holes in the roof.
Bosserman said that relatives will be helping out.
"We're a close knit family, very close, as close as a family can get. If anything my aunt has extra room over at her house and we have extra room. It's no problem, it's family and you do anything you can for your family," Bosserman said.
The Churchville Deputy Fire Chief said there won't be an official cause until the fire investigator looks at the scene.
He doesn't expect that to happen until tomorrow.
The Red Cross will also be getting in contact with the family later today.

Over the course of the last several years, the Metropolitan Council has transformed itself into a leaner, greener government agency. Metro Transit's "Go Greener" campaign has been the most visible facet of the Council's transformation, but Metro Transit's efforts are only a few of the agency's award winning green initiatives.
The Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services Division, responsible for handling waste water in the Metro area, is leading the way in making the Metropolitan Council a greener agency. The division has reduced its energy consumption by cleaning equipment more regularly, replacing old equipment with new, energy efficient equipment, and exploring ways to use the heat released during the treatment process for energy. In addition, Xcel Energy has recognized the Environmental Services Division with a Gold Award for achieving the highest electrical savings of all the utility's large commercial and industrial customers in Minnesota between January 2010 and June 2011.
Using Metro Transit buses and trains is a great way for Twin Cities residents to be green, and the Metropolitan Council is constantly working to make Metro Transit more environmentally friendly. Last year, Metro Transit reduced CO2 emissions by 500 tons by overhauling their bus garages and maintenance facilities. The Central Corridor Light Rail currently under construction features green design elements, including green management practices for handling storm water, using recycled materials such as copper and steel, and installing highly efficient LED lighting at all 18 stations.
A Better Minnesota begins with a better environment for our state. Agencies like the Metropolitan Council are working hard to reduce their carbon footprint, save taxpayers money, and help preserve our environment. Thanks to the Metropolitan Council's efforts, Minnesotans will be able to enjoy a healthy environment for generations to come.
Learn more about the Metropolitan Council's green initiatives in this video.
