Darwin alarmed by six-legged mutant cane toad
Anyone who doubts that the cane toad will ultimately gain supremacy over Australia is directed to the Northern Territory News, which has a chilling story on a hexaped mutant Bufo marinus captured south of Darwin. Bufo marinus (aka Cane Toad) - a regular four-legged version Bufo marinus (aka cane toad) - with a paltry four limbs …
Darwin alarmed?
Surely he'd just see it as a confirmation of his theory of evolution!
Re: Darwin alarmed?
I came to say the same thing.
Mutations happen, some give an advantage and get bred into the population.
Others provide no benefit or are actually a hindrance and only appear occasionally.
Re: Darwin alarmed?
I think it's a pun on the name of a certain antipodean city...
Re: Darwin alarmed?
@edge_e, may I add: Others provide no benefit and get bred into the population anyway. (That may solely be true for mankind though)
Re: Darwin alarmed?
As a hint, the additional legs are usually not genetic. So this has nothing to do with evolution. Most are caused by parasites interfering with development. Though this is not the case with other animals, just one that effects amphibians quite a lot.
Re: Darwin alarmed?
Creationists awakened would be more likely.
Major British science site leads with article "Darwin alarmed?" over God's decision to create a six legged toad in utter violation of the Darwinsitic religion.
Grab you Bibles and praise the lord.
"Oh toady lord!"
Hang on, that can't be right.
"Oh lord of the toads!"
No, that doesn't work either.
"Tell me lord, how should one praise thy toadyness?"
Re: Darwin alarmed?
Extra legs often happen when two zygotes form at just the right time and somehow merge into some level of conjoined twins however if this was a result of a parasite, it might be very helpful to know which one caused it and where it was imported from.
Re: Darwin alarmed?
re: pun
Ya know, I completely missed that. d'uh.
I was hoping for a pic of the 6 legged, or even the 5 legged version.
There's a photo if you follow the link to the original article.
You're obviously mistaken.
Surely god gave him the extra legs because this toad was more pious, a devout follower of the western presbelutheran saints of unitarian christadelphianism. The one true faith.
Re: You're obviously mistaken.
So you're saying that _this_ toad has a soul? since to be pious it would need to be not only self-aware but also be capable of faith?
or maybe that _all_ toads have souls?
Does that mean that you are postulating that _all_ animals have a soul?
Be careful - once you open the pandoras box of religious stupid double-talk you can't close it again...
Oh - and for anyone of a religious bent the above is a joke....
Re: Paul.
Genesis says the animal "are living souls". So it seems a bit off the mark for definitions with your post.
Re: soul music
Your soul
My soul
Our soles?
Re: Paul.
Depends on the original text. I'm pretty sure (having had several discussions with various people about the matter) that the word for soul in this context is entirely different from the word that is used to suggest god put his "breath" into humans to make them live. Many would hold that this is what is really meant by the soul and why humans are different from animals.

My soul?

Re: soul music
I wanted a Soul but the wife insisted on a Honda.
It's perfectly logical
It's in Oz, remember? This way the beast can drink more before being totally legless.
The one smelling of cheap booze, thanks.
Re: It's perfectly logical
Have a read of the commentards over at the NT News story. Territorians at their best.
No Less?!!
No FEWER, thank you.
Just one question
What is it in Australia that accelerated animal mutation so ?
In a mere 80 years or so, the cane toad has not only mutated stronger/longer legs, but is now growing more of them ?
Is the Australian cane toad the basis of the future Zerg ?
I think we should be told ?
Re: Just one question
Stronger/longer legs in 80 years due to natural selection is entirely possible. If the conditions favour longer legged toads, then that is what you will get.
Extra legs (like longer legs) is a mutation, that will be unlikely to spread as the article points out that the toad in question was clumsy. We can assume clumsy toads will be less successful than their long-legged brethren.
Short answer: Don't expect Zergs rushing to knock down your door anytime soon.
Re: Just one question
Though mutations might take millions of years to occur, the success of them can happen in mere decades.
Think about it - the gene mutations to give a toad longer legs than its mother/father will only happen quite rarely - and even rarer for them to not negatively affect the animal and even rarer to positively affect the animal. DNA and its associated mechanisms actually has a lot of error-checking-and-correction code inside it, according to the geneticist I live with, so it's quite hard for even a mutation of junk DNA to actually do anything noticeable. But once a toad is out there with longer legs, breeding and stealing food that the other toads can't get to / can't get to fast enough, the wipeout and replacement can be quite quick.
This is what we see in the archaeological record too. It took BILLIONS of years to get from single-celled to multi-celled animals. But it took only MILLIONS of years to get from there to crustaceans because it was SO much more efficient and successful to be an animal than a cell. And we've only been around for 200,000 years in our modern form (i.e. not hairy, having goosebumps instead of your hair standing up, having wisdom teeth that do nothing and are too big for your jaw, etc.).
Genetic mutation is damn slow. Natural selection is damn fast (literally, within generations and with lots of animals a generation can be less than a year!). Evolution is a conjoining of both concepts to explain long, long histories. When we evolved out of our predecessors, the predecessor pretty much died off or was isolated very, very quickly. There aren't still Neanderthal walking the Earth because we wiped them out, either because we perceived them as a threat and destroyed every simple example across the globe or (more likely) we interbred and eventually bred their genes out for more successful ones. And we did it far, far, quicker than you'd think.
This is why it is hard / nonsensical to go looking for a Missing Link to join ancient species and ourselves. The amount of time the evolution takes to a even a single example of a more successful form is enormous, but the change is almost immediate when it happens.
Re: Just one question
Also organisms with shorter generative lifespan / high birthrate will tend to have the capacity to evolve more quickly as they get to 'try' more mutations per unit time.
Re: Just one question
"Stronger/longer legs in 80 years due to natural selection is entirely possible. If the conditions favour longer legged toads, then that is what you will get."
The toads aren't in a closed system, but expanding outwards. The longer/stronger legged toads can travel more than their short/weaker legged compatriots, meaning that each breeding cycle only breeds those with long/strong legs as they keep expanding out.
It would be interesting to find out how those left near the origin are fairing. Are they more muscular overall, having to compete with each other? Are they smaller, having to fight for the same resources? Any other advantages or disadvantages show up that aren't seen in those out on the perimeter?
Shame it's a toad
If it had been a frog, some of my (French) friends would have been totally excited!
Get the WAH WAH pedal ready
Maybe it's not a leg, maybe it's the toad equivalent of John Holmes?
Sounds cool, somebody tell the French.
Re: Spider-frog
Why the French? The Chinese are much closer and there are a lot more of them. Get a bunch of Chinese medicine doctors to say that it makes your penis bigger, or gives you more "staying power" and you'd have hoards of Chinese come in to catch them all. The cane toad problem would be solved in less than 5 years...
Re: Spider-frog
No need for medicinal reasons
Sichuan bullfrog soup is delicious, if cane toads were tasty, I'm sure we Chinese would be eating them already.
Damn, I want some frog now :(
Re: Spider-frog
Having hoards of Chinese come in to catch them all, the cane toad problem would be solved in less than 5 years...
What do you do with the cure?
Given the toads were introduced to cure something in the first place.
Four legs good, ....
.... six legs weird.
An Antipodean mutation
Jake the Peg
I rest my case....
These are not the opposable thumbs you are looking for!
All hail the six legged hypno-toad !
Top men
It's ok we have top men trying to expand the leg capacity of the humans too. Project Human Centipede has had it's knock-backs but I have reliable intel that recently a stable 8 legged human was briefly created. This puts us well ahead of our amphibian rivals.
Would a six legged Cane Toad tee-up nicer than a four legged one for the traditional dispatching with an iron?
Does its diet include insects, at all? And, if so, has it perhaps eaten too many of them - thus proving that "you are what you eat".
The story....
has legs. It will run and run.
Re: The story....
Don't you mean "hop and hop"?
Mutant Toads
Mutants are quite common if there are no predators to mop them up. They tend to be the first to get eaten usually.
Given the problems these little bastards cause, they should re-release the 6 legged one if it makes it more clumsy and keep capturing healthy ones in hopes that this bad mutation continues and it slows the toads down in general.
All Glory
to the hexotoad.

We want your Love My Jean Skirt to be modest and fit well.
Measuring to ensure the right fit is the MOST important part of the ordering process.
Please follow these steps to ensure a great fit:
We have found the most accurate way to measure is by measuring a jean skirt (or jeans) that fit you well.
To begin you will need 3 things.
- A jean skirt, jeans or or durable type fabric skirt (similar to denim)…it should be one that fits you well.
- A flexible tape measure.
- A hard flat surface to lay your tape measure and skirt (or jeans) on.
How to measure: WAIST
1. Lay your tape measure down horizontal on flat surface.
2. Grab and hold the corners of the waistband (without stretching or allowing the front to scoop).
3. Without letting go, lay the waistband down against the surface right under the tape measure.
Your waist measurement will be double the flat measurement. For instance this skirt measures 15 1/2″ across. To get the waist measurement I had to double that. Doubling that makes the actual waist band measurement 31 ".
You can measure around your waist.
HIGH RISE: If you wear your skirts around your navel (this usually where the crease is when you bend). This is considered a HIGH RISE and this is where you should measure around. (This fit is best for older women, women who want to HIDE the belly or anyone who is long legged with a shorter torso and have more curves in the hip area).
MID RISE: If you wear your skirts somewhere between your hips and navel, you wear a mid-rise. This measurement is usually worn by (or for) Misses sizes or post baby and works great from the average 20's to 30's lady who wants to keep it trendy and still flattering.
LOW RISE: If your skirts sit on your hips, then you wear low rise. This fit is mostly worn by Junior sizes or girls. This is not a flattering shape if you have a belly you are trying to high.
How to measure: WAIST to HIPS
1. Start with the top of your side seam waist band (be sure you are wearing a skirt that is the most comfortable fit for you).
2. Decide the widest part of your hips and measure from the top of your side seam waistband down to that point.
This is your WAIST TO HIP measurement.
How to measure: HIPS
Things to consider for modesty sake: To keep with modesty principles, it is important to decide how fitting you want your jean skirt to be. As you measure your hips, keep in mind, our measurements will typically be within 1″ or less of that measurement. If you are concerned about the fit, you may want to consider adding more inches to accommodate your modesty preference. In doing so, if the discrepancy becomes more than 6 inches between your waist & hips, it may be necessary for us to take in (by placing darts)your waist band (we will ask you before doing so). Keep in mind, the more discrepancy, the harder it is to find jeans to fit your order and the longer it can take to get your order complete.
This one is more tricky and can be done a couple of ways.
1. Using your waist to hip measurement follow the "Measuring Yourself" steps (bottom of the page) if you do not have a sample jean skirt to measure.
2. Using your waist to hip measurement, lay your jean skirt on a flat surface and measure the top of the side seam down to the waist to hip measurement point then measure across. EX: If the widest part of your hip is 6″ down from the top of your side seam you would measure that down to that point on your skirt (laying flat).
3. Once you have marked that point, you would then measure across . This would give you a flat measurement. You would again double that measurement for a total. EX: So 18.5″ across, you would double that and your hip measurement would be 37″.
How to measure:: Length
This can be done a couple ways as well.
1. You can use an existing skirt for a sample length. To do this, you could lay the skirt down on a flat surface and measure side seam down to the length you want.
2. While standing up (straight with your feet together), you could have someone measure (side seam) down to the desired length. The most important things to keep in mind is that we use side seam measurement for length.
Keeping it Modest: In deciding a short "modest" length what seems to work (and keep the knee covered when sitting) is by using by using the spot that ends the bottom of the knee. This seems to work most often and for Love My Jean Skirt we believe that a skirt should NEVER be shorter than this.
Now you can….

November 26, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio got his pizza with smoked mozzarella, sausage and a dash of scandal.
The newly installed mayor unintentionally spiced up a political meeting at a Staten Island pizza joint Friday by digging into his slice with a knife and fork.
That's a no-no for many New Yorkers, who believe pizza should be folded and eaten with their hands.
Photos of a utensil-wielding de Blasio spread across Twitter and prompted mock outrage, some even calling for his impeachment. It was reminiscent of a famous "Seinfeld" episode in which characters make a stir by eating a candy bar with flatware.
De Blasio, who prides himself on his Italian-American heritage, later explained that he eats pizza the way they do in Italy. He starts with a knife and fork, then uses his hands.

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say a man walking his dog in New York City found the dismembered remains of a woman in plastic bags.
The discovery was made around 5 a.m. Tuesday in the Melrose section of the Bronx.
Police say that when the dog sniffed one of the bags, the man opened it. He thought there might be something of value inside.
That's when the gruesome discovery was made.
Police say there were four bags found in the area. One apparently held a leg and an arm. Another contained shoulders.
The medical examiner's office will determine the cause of the woman's death.
There was no identification found with the remains.

Hey guys,
Anyone have experience with either the TK back support or the rehband strongman back brace? Normally i'd just grab the rehband and be done with it, but their newer products with the blue anti-microbial lining or whatever give me terrible hives, and i dont want to drop the money only to find out that i cant wear the thing. The older rehband stuff is fine as is the TK band material. I also know that the TK knee bands tear at the seams which is why i was wondering if anyone has used the waistband for any length of time and had any info on the quality of the product.
Im also open to any alternatives which will provide warmth and compression. Im looking into these due to a series of minor strains/tears which keep knocking me out of training for a week or two at a time.

Greta Prefers To "Interact With The Viewers," Rather Than Just Talk At Them
Thursday's Los Angeles Times has an excellent in-depth profile of Fox News star Greta Van Susteren:
"Van Susteren had already answered hundreds of messages earlier in the day, and there were still 2,821 unread e-mails in her inbox. That's just the way she likes it; she gazed at the blinking screen with contentment.
"I much prefer to interact with the viewers than just talk at them," Greta says. "It's where I think the business is headed."
Greta "spends more than two hours a day answering e-mails, often culling the messages for tips that she incorporates into the program." Some of those e-mails appear on her blog GretaWire, which draws more than 150,000 hits a day. In the future, she plans to post interviews that don't make the program, and she "wants to be the first at the cable channel to podcast her show."

7 enterprise security improvements in iOS 7
Summary: iOS 7 is a major step forward in enterprise mobile security. Apple has institutionalized security techniques for which, until now, enterprises had to go to an independent MDM/MAM vendor.
1 of 8Image
A big step forward for enterprise security
In most ways, iOS is no more "secure by design" than most other operating systems, and yet, as a practical matter, security problems have been slight in the real world. Apple has gotten away with doing far less than they might have, in no small part because third party security vendors filled in the gaps.
The deficiencies in Apple's security management spawned the Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) industries. It is in these areas, which allow IT to manage and control the usage of mobile devices, where iOS 7's strongest improvements lie.
There are features with broader appeal, such as Touch ID, the first usable biometrics in a phone, and remote lock, which protects lost and stolen phones. And there are other important improvements that are even more obscure than MDM improvements.
In the pages that follow I describe seven improvements that make iOS 7 a much more secure operating system in an enterprise setting than iOS 6.
Image: Apple
Find My iPhone, now with remote lock
If your phone is lost or stolen, Find My iPhone allows you to locate or wipe it. iOS 7 improves the feature greatly by letting the user provide a message to display on the phone and prevent all other use. Even if the phone is wiped, iOS 7 will still prevent all use until the registered owner logs in to the proper iCloud account.
This is the one the ones that everyone knows about. For the most part, the same rationale for this feature apply both to business and consumer use. Nobody wants their phone to get lost or stolen. If it's lost they want to make it easy for someone to return it. If it's stolen they want the data protected from access and the phone to be useless to the thieves.
It's because of this feature and similar ones from Microsoft and Google that I think the incentive for phone theft will diminish a great deal in the next few years.
If IT wants to, they can manage the Find My iPhone setting through the new MDM interfaces (more about that just ahead), including putting the device in "lost" mode. But in order to make it manageable, the phone's user (specifically, someone with the phone's iCloud credentials) will first need to disable the setting.
Remote wipe still works on remotely-locked systems, but then a user would still need to enter the phone's iCloud credentials when booting out of the wipe.

Nebraska Republican Congressman Lee Terry says his legislation to fund the country's poison control centers has been signed into law by President Barack Obama.
Terry, who represents Nebraska's Omaha-centric 2nd District, calls his bipartisan measure "common-sense legislation."
He says the centers offer expert advice and "peace of mind to nearly 3 million families each year at the moment the unthinkable happens and a loved one ingests a poisonous substance."
Terry says the measure also provides cost savings by eliminating unnecessary trips to the emergency room.

The investigation into Campbellsville University's actions on the day four firefighters were injured on campus is now complete.
The Kentucky Labor Cabinet has fined CU for one of its employees not wearing a safety harness while he was in a bucket truck with a student who was filming the ALS challenge.
Without their sacrifice, he said, Americans might not have the freedom to which they've become accustomed.
"We would not be standing here if it was not for the veterans," Bill Perkins said.
Perkins, a Vietnam War veteran, was again the master of ceremonies for Tuesday's community Veterans Day service.
About 175 people attended, the largest crowd in recent years.
In gathering together Tuesday afternoon, local officials and residents thanked veterans for their sacrifice and service.
Anyone who has ever used a GPS device to get where they're going should thank Todd Caldwell.
Caldwell, who grew up in Campbellsville, is a lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force.
He is chief of the Global Positioning System IIF Branch of the Space Vehicles Division at the Space and Missile Systems Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
Caldwell spends his days working with his 35-member team to prepare GPS satellites for launch. His team is in midst of launching a block of 12 satellites. Eight have been launched so far.
Two Campbellsville residents were injured and, at press time, remain at a Louisville hospital for treatment after a two-vehicle crash Thursday night.
According to a Taylor County Sheriff's Office report, Manuel Mings, 54, of Roberts Road, was traveling east on KY 76 in a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe at about 5:50 p.m. Ocilla Perkins, 69, of Speck Ridge Road, was traveling west in a 2000 Chevy Cavalier.
Students pursuing a career in the medical field have an opportunity to get a jumpstart on their education and experience by enrolling in the Taylor County High School nursing program.
Students receive hands-on, real-life patient care while preparing for the State Registered Nursing Assistant Certification.
He has asked many times over the years to be released from his jail cell. And the answer has been "no" on all but one occasion.
Rex Melton filed another request in August to be immediately released from prison. But a week and a half ago, a local judge denied the request.
Melton was accused of beating another man and placing him inside a car trunk with a turtle about 25 years ago.
She says it's easy, something everyone can do. And, on Thursday night, she taught 15 people some tricks of her trade.
Bonnie Webster, outreach librarian at Taylor County Public Library, who is known for her talent of making mesh wreaths, showed residents how to make them during a free class.
The class was full, with men, women and children attending, and Webster said the library might host another one.
A Campbellsville man has been arrested and charged with committing federal drug crimes.
Harold Jermaine Barnett, 33, of Underwood Street, was arrested on Nov. 4, after a federal grand jury charged him last month with possession with intent to distribute a large amount of cocaine.
Campbellsville Police officers and Kentucky State Police DESI West troopers made the arrest.
According to court records, Barnett was lodged at the Warren County Regional Jail in Bowling Green at 1:15 p.m. on Nov. 4.
Residents of some local subdivisions will soon sharing the road with alternative UPS vehicles during the holiday season.
In an effort to improve the efficiency and speed of package delivery, UPS officials submitted a request to the City of Campbellsville to conduct an experiment that has proved successful in other communities.
The request was discussed at Campbellsville City Council's special meeting on Monday.
Fred Gross considers himself a lucky man.
Having grown up during the Holocaust, Gross is likely one of few Jewish people who can say he and his entire family escaped death.
Gross, who now lives in Louisville, spoke at Campbellsville High School on Monday and at the Taylor County Public Library on Tuesday afternoon.
Andrea Lawler, the library's new director, met Gross before her employment there and arranged for him to speak.
About 60 people came to the library to hear Gross speak and meet him afterward.

A Cooperstown Party Like it's 1999
It was probably my favorite story idea that I've come up with in the 13 months I've been working at Baseball Prospectus, in part because it was so original. In the wake of the election of zero living Hall-of-Famers for the 2013 induction class, when everyone was writing about what a travesty this was for the Hall, I told Ben Lindbergh I was going to write about the tragedy for the village of Cooperstown.
It was an original idea until it was already written even before the vote. Until the story of one of my favorite places in the world, just 70 miles from my own hometown, was so well told months later that there was nothing left to say. Until business honchos in the village were apparently changing their answering machine messages to preempt the questions about the death of a yearly tradition of late July.
So I didn't write the story, but to be honest, I never really bought the sentiment either. I understand the problem of backlogs and why it might take longer to clear the backlog in the BBWAA than it did to create the backlog. However, last year was always going to be an off year. Either people, preferably even living people, were going to start getting elected or the rules were going to change. The 10-vote-per-ballot limit is an obvious place to start – I'd probably advocate voting for 14 or 15 this year, and that's being fairly conservative. The word out of the BBWAA meeting during Winter Meetings in Orlando is that the association is creating a committee to look at the Hall of Fame voting.
Anyway, one year later, we're going to be wondering where to put all the people.
Thanks to the Veterans Committee falling on the triennial "Expansion Era" cycle, where people of similar talent to their predecessors are freed from the erosion of time and the idea that the best guys from the past would be in already is gone, this class is shaping up to be wonderful.
Joe Torre, who as a player didn't miss by all that much, joins Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox in a group of managers that combined to win 7,558 games.

Thoughts on Bagwell and Piazza's chances this year? 58% and 60% respectively in 2013, solid resumes, good longevity, zero substantive links to PEDs, well-liked by fans, etc. Bagwell has the "career with one team" thing that voters historically like.

This ballot is a monster. There are as many as 15 guys with cases to be elected. Too many, in fact. I can easily see where only Maddux gets elected.
Dec 12, 2013 09:59 AM
Wouldn't that be kind of complicated? How do you define "juicers" for that separate ballot? All players who have tested positive? Players that have had legal convictions? Anyone mentioned in the Mitchell Report or Biogensis leaks? Any players that has ever been rumored to have used? And then, do you also have to put on that ballot anyone that has ever been penalized for other infractions? It sounds too complicated to define a fair dual-ballot system to me (and perhaps goes without saying that an unfair system is not worth designing).
Dec 12, 2013 15:03 PM
If I think Maddux is better than Seaver, I only have to go back to the 60s to find a better pitcher in Koufax.

Educate, organize and mobilize -- Again, if you're not already registered you cannot vote in this year's General Election. If you follow the news, you already know that the National and North Carolina Republican Parties are engaged in the most massive voter suppression campaign in 100 years. They've won several court victories that allow them to block the votes of millions of citizens nationwide. Today, we're playing and losing the game of catch-up in our efforts to defeat voter suppression. To avoid losing this election cycle we need a massive voter turn-out and we need all of our readers to be a part of it. In addition to voting and volunteering to help a party or candidate over the next two weeks please email all of your contacts and do a Facebook post on your timeline asking all of your friend to do as you have done.

Bullies in the Workplace: Victims to Tell Their Story
AMES, Iowa – The stories are shocking and heartbreaking, but they are often disjointed and hard to follow. In severe cases, the narratives are even more chaotic. This is reality for victims of workplace bullying and a major reason why they stay silent, said Stacy Tye-Williams, an assistant professor of communications studies and English at Iowa State University. No one expects to go to work and feel as though they are back on the school playground, but bullying is all too common for many workers. Approximately 54 million workers, or 35 percent of U.S. employees, are targeted by a bully at some point in their careers, according to the Workplace Bullying Institute. Instead of reporting it, Tye-Williams found several of the people she interviewed for a study, published in Management Communication Quarterly, suffered silently.
Praise for New Rules on Racial Disparities in Schools
WASHINGTON – Civil rights advocates praised the updated guidelines for addressing racial disparities in American public schools recently issued by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) at the Department of Education and recommended additional measures to close the Black-White achievement gap. "The Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin, in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance," stated the guidance. "School districts that receive federal funds must not intentionally discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin, and must not implement facially neutral policies that have the unjustified effect of discriminating against students on the basis of race, color, or national origin."

Release from Madison Police Department:
Incident Date 05/05/2012 - 3:14 AM
Address 400 block N. Broom St.
Arrested Jesus A. Miranda, age 19, Madison
Mr. Miranda was arrested for Disorderly Conduct, Use of a Dangerous Weapon, and Facsimile Firearms (use restrictions).
Victim Male, age 24, Madison
Police arrested a 19-year old man early Saturday morning after he allegedly fired multiple rounds from a BB gun in the direction of people who were in the 400 block of N. Broom St. The suspect was a passenger in a black van. A 24-year old victim feared he was going to be shot with a real gun when he first saw the weapon. A nearby vendor thought some BBs may have hit his food cart although no damage was found. Officers stopped the van shortly after the incident.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- Just when you thought we might have turned the corner on winter-like weather comes word of 9 to 14 inches of snow expected in east central Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin.
Forecasters expect the heaviest snow to fall between Duluth and Hinckley, Minn., and in the northwestern Wisconsin counties closest to Lake Superior. The National Weather Service posted a winter storm watch for late Tuesday night through Thursday morning.
Winds gusts of 30 to 40 mph could reduce driving visibility to less than one-quarter of a mile, especially closer to the lake.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- New figures show Wisconsin's unemployment rate didn't budge last month.
Estimates the state Department of Workforce Development released Thursday show the state's unemployment rate was 7.1 percent in March, unchanged from February. The national unemployment rate was 7.6 percent in March.
DWD's data shows a net loss of 1,100 private sector jobs in the state last month. The state also lost 7,400 government jobs in March, including 6,800 on the state and local levels.
The monthly numbers are based on a survey of only 3.5 percent of state employers and are subject to significant revision.

If Stafford County resident Aide Sanchez had been offered an in-state tuition rate at George Mason University back in 2012 when she started there, she says she would have her degree by now.
But the 26-year-old woman, whose parents illegally immigrated to America when she was a child, had to quit school when money ran out because she has to pay the higher out-of-state tuition rate.
So Sanchez went to work to achieve a legal residence status through President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. That also cost her money she was saving up for her education.
Now, because of a decision by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, she'll be able to return to college at the in-state rate. Herring's legal opinion was issued earlier this year after a state Dream Act was defeated in the General Assembly.
It was rejected on a party-line vote in the GOP-controlled Senate Education and Health Committee.
Following Herring's opinion that the federal DACA law could proceed, Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Bill Howell, R–Stafford, and other GOP legislative leaders issued a statement condemning the decision.
"We are deeply concerned by the Attorney General's actions … and what appears to be a continued willingness to ignore and circumvent the duly adopted laws of the commonwealth," it said. The statement also charged that Herring placed his personal, political ideology ahead of the will of the commonwealth.
Born in Mexico City, Sanchez lived in Mexico until age 12 when her parents brought her and her sister to the United States.
The family first settled in New York, but moved to Fredericksburg to find a better life. Sanchez has lived, gone to school and worked in the Fredericksburg area since she was 13.
Sanchez is saving up for college classes again, working as a manager at a Five Guys in North Stafford.
"I've always said, 'Education leads to social movement,'" she said.
Now that Virginia is allowing DACA recipients to attend state colleges at the in-state rate, she plans on going back and finishing her degree.
She is majoring in neuroscience at GMU after attaining an associated degree at Germanna Community College.
Eventually, she wants to do research on the brain.
Because of Herring's opinion, Virginia students who are lawfully present in the country under the DACA program qualify for in-state tuition as long as they meet the state's residency requirements, Herring said.
The decision will make college more affordable for about 8,100 young immigrants in Virginia.
Herring's office said state higher education institutions will implement the policy immediately. Swift action will allow high school seniors to plan for fall 2014 admission.
"If the commonwealth is to remain competitive in a global economy, we must embrace a strategy that maximizes our talent pool and helps all Virginians reach their full potential," Herring said.
"These 'DREAMers' are already Virginians in some very important ways. In most cases they were raised here, they graduated from Virginia schools, and they have known no home but Virginia … It's what the law requires, it makes economic sense for Virginia, and it's the right thing to do."
According to new data released by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, about 550,000 young undocumented immigrants have received temporary protection from deportation and work authorization since Obama created the DACA program in June 2012.
Nineteen other states—including Texas, New Mexico, California and Oklahoma—have enacted some form of tuition equity at their public colleges and universities.
California and Rhode Island go a step further, allowing eligible immigrants to apply for state financial aid.
Sanchez said it was hard, after graduating from James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg, to find out that she did not have the same opportunities as her classmates.
At GMU, in-state tuition totaled $9,908 per year, while out-of-state tuition cost $28,592 per year, during the 2013–14 school year.
The difference between a credit hour at Germanna is $139 for in-state and $333.60 for out-of-state tuition.
Sanchez wasn't silent in her push for in-state tuition rates. She made phone calls, wrote letters and met with officials to tell her story.
She, with the grassroots political action group Virginia Organizing, talked to state legislators on the House Appropriations Committee, Senate Education and Health Committee, and reached out to officials such as Del. Alfonzo Lopez, D–Arlington County, who has made repeated pushes in the legislature for in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.
"I felt like it was different, important to hear my side of the story," said Sanchez, who is a mother. "So they see there are real humans affected by this."
Like Sanchez, Sue Smith, director of LUCHA Ministries, has written letters and visited elected officials to advocate for an in-state tuition rate, which she called one of the greatest victories for the community in recent years.
LUCHA is a faith-based organization serving the Latinos in the greater Fredericksburg area.
"One of the sad things, a lot of kids lost hope in … high school because they felt college is out of reach," Smith said. "They just quit. The most challenging and heartbreaking thing to see is a good student give up."
Smith founded the organization in 2004 after observing the gaps between the Latino community's needs and what services were available locally.
Smith has helped some DACA students go to private colleges as a way around paying higher tuition at state schools. Tuition at Bluefield College, where she has helped three students attend, is $22,840 per year. But securing scholarship money regardless of immigration status was easier.
One student, she said, had interest from state universities offering soccer scholarships. But after finding out about his immigration status, the schools could not offer tuition assistance.
She said others don't get responses from inquiries to admissions departments.
Locally at the University of Mary Washington, officials said they don't have firm data concerning the DACA recipients.
However, UMW spokeswoman Marty Morrison said the school expects the decision of the attorney general will impact a small number of students, 10 or fewer.
Sanchez said her parents still don't have an immigration status, but she said they were role models, as she hopes to be for her daughter.
"They are so strong, and never let us see them down," she said. "… I want my daughter to see me be everything I want to be. Getting a college degree, it will give her a better chance."
Sanchez said she hopes her story will help those opposed to immigration reform understand the need for changes and personal impact of the current laws.
"This is going to impact people who already have roots in Virginia and want to give back to the community," she said.

Lexifone to open development center in China
CHANGZHOU DEPUTY MAYOR Fang Guoqiang.

In its continued charm offensive toward the Israeli start-up scene, Changzhou, China, a city outside Shanghai, inked a deal Tuesday night with the Israeli translation- software firm Lexifone to open a development center.Lexifone's software provides the computer equivalent of having a live translator automatically listening to, translating and speaking conversation in real time, a boon for businesses trying to cross international lines.Though the software already includes Chinese, the new center will hire a slew of linguists to sharpen the translation to help provide more fluent translation."China has in recent years become a great economic power, and the language barrier is still a difficulty in international business," Lexifone CEO Ike Sagie said.The development center will work under the supervision the company's Haifa research and development center.The agreement was signed during a visit by a Changzhou economic delegation to Israel headed by Deputy Mayor Fang Guoqiang.He praised the thriving business relationship in telecommunications, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, software and alternative energy."Within the next three years, I also foresee significant growth in cooperation in areas such as IT, biotechnology, biopharma, agricultural technology and more, all with strong encouragement from the local government in Changzhou," Fang said.The city, which is hoping to become the "silicon valley" of China, has dedicated a fund with a $150 million annual budget toward furthering investment, economic cooperation and business ties with Israel and other international tech leaders. In 2011, the city signed an agreement with the PTL Group, an international management company, which facilitated the Lexifone deal, to create an incubator for Israeli companies there.Fang said he is working toward building an Israel- China technology park in Changzhou.

Need help with bread pudding recipe
I'd like to try making a pina colada bread pudding. The recipe calls for 1 loaf of French bread with crusts removed. Doesn't French bread come in different sizes? And aren't they rather slender so what would I be left with after I remove the crusts? How many ounces/pounds of bread do you think I should buy? The recipe calls for 3 eggs and about 3 cups of liquid. Thanks for any help provided.
The slender "French bread" is a baguette. You want a regular sized loaf.
A good bakery will have what you're looking for. It doesn't have to be of French heritage. Italian will do as well.
Pina colada bread pudding sounds awfully interesting. Perhaps you could post the recipe on the HC board.
I guess it depends upon the type of loaf.
A baguette is long & slender. A flute is long & fatter. An Epi has more crust. A boule is round & comes in various sizes.
Is this recipe French? I sort of doubt it given that its pina colada.
Three eggs & three cups of bread makes it sound like about a pound of bread to me as a guess. As Uncle Bob says I'd leave the crust on for sure.
As it happens we had bread pudding at our local restaurant today as the dessert to our lunch. Delicious, here they call it pain perdu (lost bread). This had raisins in it & a caramel sauce. We loved it.
Good luck with your effort.
Bread pudding is forgiving. For 3 cups liquid and 3 eggs, try 6-7 cups. I'd guess because it's for a pina colada bread pudding, it doesn't matter if you use a baguette or a larger loaf of "french bread" that you'd find in any grocery store. I'd go for the larger loaf, less crust.
re: gubby_ri
BTW, I'd make it first and see how it works out. Then unveil it on guests/family. Always best to do a test run.
Also, you can maybe check other BP recipes and see how much bread/liquid they use and figure out how much bread they're talking about when they say "Loaf."
re: gubby_ri
I think you'll be happy with the crusts. They add texture. And just in case it turns out dry or bland, a rum sauce would be good to have on hand to drizzle over the top.
re: katecm
Bourbon sauce is even better.
re: Davwud
I usually do it for other bread puddings, but pina colada screams rum to me. But really, you can't go wrong.
re: katecm
Oh, ya. I forgot about it being PC.
Since the subject of bread pudding has come up, I can use some advice. For a church project, I make bread pudding in 9 x 12 foil pans that provide 12 portions each. I don't have a recipe for the quantity I require and so am winging it. If I use 8 slices of bread per pan the consistency is too watery, but more than that makes the pudding too stiff. Also if I fill the pans as full as I dare without spilling all over the oven, the pudding puffs up like a souffle when it bakes, rising a good two inches beyond the rim of the pan, but as it cools it flattens down to a depth of about 1 1/2 inches so that servings don't look very substantial. I am using 6 eggs and 4-5 cups milk per pan of pudding. I would like a puddingy consistency firm enough to be spooned out, not cut into squares, when it's served. Also I would love to deliver pans that are full nearly to the top. Any advice regarding proportions?
Either America's Test Kitchen or Cook's Country did bread pudding not long ago - you should be able to find the explanation and recipe free either on their sites or elsewhere by googling it.
The important thing was that it is better to cube and dry FRESH bread in the oven on very low heat than to use stale bread. It has a scientific explanation to the effect that oven-drying evaporates the water in the bread, so that it can absorb more of the custard mixture, making the bread pudding more tender and tasty. When bread stales naturally, the starch crystallizes but entraps the water. That is why you can restore the moisture of seemingly dry, day-old bread by briefly reheating it. The crystal structure comes apart and the moisture becomes available again.
I memory serves, they also concluded that challah or a good quality supermarket white bread (e.g. Pepperidge Farm) makes for the best bread pudding. French and Italian didn't have enough body, rustic loaves too chewy, and brioche too greasy.
re: greygarious
That's interesting, about oven-dried vs room air-dried---thanks for posting it. I usually use cinnamon raisin bread. Since I make a large quantity for a church feeding program (free dinner for the needy) cost control is an issue so that challah and artisan breads aren't likely.
re: Querencia
Why not go to a Jewish bakery and ask for day old as a donation??
It could easily mean one of those fluffy, ubiquitous "French" loaves that are available hot out of the oven around 4-6. Or get them the next day. They have a thin, soft crust if bagged in plastic.
One can removes that or keep it on to give the pudding some "oomph."
I also like to use a crustier/artisan type loaf, but it's chewier. It depends on one's personal preference, and how long you want to soak the bread.

Business owners use social media as a means to an end, a way to bring more paying customers to their website. This happens in many ways, but they all come back to one thing; customer engagement. If a user on social media is not engaged, they aren't going to care about your business, they won't see your posts and they'll never visit your blog. You need to engage your customers and keep them active, happy and interested in the things you have to say. When you lose their interest, you lose their value.
The main reason you want to engage with your fans is a little thing called Edgerank. Rather, the algorithm that supplanted Edgerank, but has maintained the name among marketing circles. The algorithm, called Edgerank for simplicity, maintains over 100 factors based on your connection with another person. These factors range from important social signals to minor signals like searching someone's name. All of it combines into one ongoing calculation that determines how often your posts are seen on that other person's news feed, and vice versa. Engagement is a shorthand term for the major influencers of Edgerank; the way you tweak the algorithm to ensure your posts show up more often. The higher your engagement, the more visible your posts will be. So, how do you increase engagement?
1. Ask questions of your fans.
People love talking about themselves and their opinions. They love expressing themselves. That's why the easiest way to encourage engagement is to ask them about themselves. There are a number of different types of questions you can ask. Take this list and use it to create questions for any subject:
- Ask for a specific answer. "What is your favorite piece of software?"
- Ask a yes or no question. "Is Photoshop your favorite piece of software?"
- Ask a timely question. "It's Photoshop's birthday! How have you used PS in the past?"
- Ask a controversial question. "Do you think Photoshop is an overrated and overly expensive piece of software?"
- Ask about a piece of media. "What do you think of this image, made with Photoshop?"
- Ask a trivia question. "True or false: Photoshop is the most popular image manipulation program."
- Ask a user's preference. "Do you prefer Photoshop or Gimp?"
There are others, of course, but this basic guide should cover just about any question you could need to ask.
2. Create incentives that require taking action.
Have a coupon to give out? Create a Facebook giveaway or app that hides the coupon behind a bit of social engagement. Make that coupon only available to people who like your page or share a specific post. App templates are prevalent and easy to use, so you have no excuse to not make use of this simple tactic.
3. Treat posts as you would Twitter.
That is, keep them short. The longer a post is, the less readers will care to finish reading. If you're keeping your posts under 50 words – or even within the Twitter character limit – they're easier for readers to read and digest. Use this guideline to optimize the posts you write for maximum engagement. It helps when you're automatically posting to both Facebook and Twitter, as well.
4. Create a fill-in-the-blank post.
This is another variation on asking questions of your users, but it's worth a post of its own. The mad lib or fill-in-the-blank post is a viral style that, done properly, can be the most engaging post you'll ever make. To run with the Photoshop example, try "If I had to Photoshop an image, it would be ___." Users share their answers, and you don't have to care or read them; just know that their act of posting increases their engagement and makes their posts more visible.
5. Say thanks for valuable comments.
Second only to wanting to express themselves, people want to feel appreciated for doing so. When a user makes a particularly insightful comment, thank them for the comment. Make the occasional status post thanking everyone for their participation. Thank users for their engagement and they will feel appreciated, which helps bring them back to continue to be engaged.
6. Use eye-catching images or video previews.
The eye is naturally more attracted to colorful images than to boring text. Image optimization for Facebook is an art all its own, but you can follow a few guidelines. Post images that are interesting and relevant to your post. Try to make sure they're vibrant and eye-catching. Don't forget to upload them first so you can optimize their descriptions and include another call to action.
7. Leverage crowdsourcing.
A twist on asking for user opinions, the crowdsourcing option is to ask your users for help. Even if you don't need the help, asking your users to solve some problem for you – or for each other – helps those users feel valuable and needed. This can be further enhanced if you compile the best answers to share later. Plus, who knows? Maybe you'll find something truly useful in their suggestions.
8. Post at the right time.
The debate rages online about what the best time of day or best day of week is to post your content. The truth is, there's no one solid answer for that question. It varies depending on your location and the location of your followers. It varies depending on their jobs and other demographics. Just monitor your audience, measure their active and peak hours, and share content just before the majority of them show up for the day.
9. Post 1-3 times per day.
One post per day is fine. If you can handle more, go for more. Try to avoid posting more often than three times each day. Some larger companies can get away with it, but chances are you're not one of them. Frequent posting means your posts get lost in the rush. It means you have a harder time promoting one out of many. It also might gain you a reputation as a spammer, depending on the content of those posts.
10. Ask users to like and share.
"Like this post if you can't wait for Friday!" See how simple that is? It's an incredible and powerful tactic to just ask for what you want in today's world. Post a picture of a beach and a few people will like it, because they like the picture, or the location, or what it represents. Post a picture of a beach and tell people to "Like if you can't wait for summer," and you'll have far more interest on the same picture.
11. Make a point of public customer service.
Companies have reputations to maintain. Customer service helps do that. Public customer service can be a viral storm of social activity, when done properly. Consider an example like Samsung from May of 2012: http://mashable.com/2012/08/30/samsung-dragon-phone/. This is an example of several ways Samsung engaged customers; a creative reply to an interesting post and an unexpected reward for a viral engagement included.

It was a tale of two halves for the Buccaneers on Sunday as they fell to the Bears 21-13.
The 2014 Buccaneers clearly don't have it all figured out, but in the last month the team has begun to perform consistently in several areas that will be key to its long-term success under Lovie Smith
Here's a sampling of media reports on the Buccaneers today.
NFL Media's Brian Billick is handing out report card grades for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' performance against the Chicago Bears in Week 12.
WR Vincent Jackson sells out to make a spectacular diving catch for a first down against the Bears.
DT Gerald McCoy forces the fumble against Bears QB Jay Cutler in the 1st quarter.
QB Josh McCown finds WR Mike Evans in the corner of the end zone for the touchdown against the Bears.
After holding the Bears' offense in check for two quarters on the way to a 10-0 halftime lead, the visiting Bucs saw that advantage evaporate quickly due to a series of costly turnovers in a rainy 21-13 loss.
The Buccaneers followed up their second win of the season with a road trip to face the Chicago Bears. Here is how the game went down through the eyes of social media analysts.
Head Coach Lovie Smith speaks to the media following loss to Chicago Bears about turnovers, struggling with the run, and more.
QB Josh McCown speaks to the media following loss to the Chicago Bears about dealing with the weather, turnovers, and returning to Chicago.
