Please submit the complete application plus supporting documentation well in advance of the time the scholar is to arrive. Those scholars from countries which restrict travel often need a couple of months to obtain a passport and visa. Scholars in the U.S. who need to apply for a change of status to J-1 need to apply 4 to 6 months in advance. Therefore, we suggest that the application be submitted six months in advance of the arrival date. Normal processing time for applications is usually five days, subject to receipt of required supporting documentation.
The following lists both U.S. Government and Columbia University restrictions on those in J-1 status.
Government Restrictions:

I saw about 150 bighorns at Oak Creek Wildlife Area, many just 30 feet away behind an eight-foot tall woven wire fence.
The fence had large openings and it was easy to point a 300mm lense through them.
I also used the same lens to take this photo of bighorns not attracted to a feeding station.
They were on top of Hart Mountain in southeast Oregon. I counted about 130 in the band.
I parked at Hilltop, where the refuge road crests the low divide of the mountain, between Hart Mountain proper and Poker Jim Ridge. I hiked about 1,200 feet up, to the south, around the aspen thicket to reach the billiard-table flat top of the mountain.
Before long I began seeing sheep. They saw me, too. They started running around, collecting into bands. The bands grew into a single band of about 130 animals. I took this photo, then the next photo I took was of 130 sheep butts.
They spent the next five minutes running around then disappearing from the top of the mountain. I've done the same hike two times since then and never saw a single sheep.

Wilderness Study AreasNinety-five areas in Utah were established as wilderness study areas (WSAs) during the 1980s. Under the Interim Management Policy for Lands Under Wilderness Review (IMP), BLM manages these lands to preserve their wilderness character until Congress determines whether or not they should be designated as wilderness. The IMP does not establish visual resource or off-highway vehicle management objectives for the WSAs. This will be determined in the land use plan. The plan will also determine how the WSAs would be managed if released from wilderness consideration by Congress.
Non-WSA lands with or likely to have wilderness characteristicsBLM has inventoried other lands for wilderness character, and the public has suggested still other areas may have such values. While BLM will not consider designating additional WSAs in the planning process, the agency will consider new information on resource values and uses, including wilderness characteristics.
Values associated with solitude, primitive recreation, and naturalness are considered with all other resources. Plan alternatives may include allocations and actions that protect these values.

I have a 1.5 inch crossbreed belt and it serves my purposes fairly well. I can't help but wonder though if I shouldn't have spent the extra $20-30 and gotten the Beltman 1.5 inch bullhide belt.
For those of you that have experience with BOTH belts, could you give me a rundown of what you thought? Is the beltman good enough to justify spending another $80-90 bucks when I already have a "decent" gun belt.

US to exit global standards setting
PUBLISHED: 27 Jun 2012 13:58:37 | UPDATED: 27 Jun 2012 13:59:11PRINT EDITION: 27 Jun 2012Shaun Drummond
Kevin Stevenson, chairman of the AASB, says "the current joint agenda would be finished by the middle of next year", and the US may fade out of global standard setting from then. Photo: Erin Jonasson
The chair of the Australian accounting rules body is echoing the frustration of finance chiefs over the slow progress of global standard setting due to convergence with the US, but says the era of joint consultation is ending.
"It has been a fairly consistent concern that developments haven't taken place at the pace that we would have liked, and both [the International Accounting Standards Board and the US Financial Standards Accounting Board] recognise that continuing to develop standards [jointly] has limited benefit now and the days are coming when it will end," says Kevin Stevenson, chair and chief executive officer of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
Last week the advisory council to the IASB met in London. It included discussions on how to build a "model post separation from FASB", Stevenson says.
However, he adds that joint formulation of standards would not end until four major standards now being debated had been finalised – the lease standard, revenue recognition, insurance contracts and one of the final parts of the financial instruments standard covering impairment.
Revenue recognition is due to be a standard in the first quarter of 2013 and the other three are going to be re-exposed later this year.
"So you would think that the current joint agenda would be finished by the middle of next year," Stevenson says. "I would be surprised if they put up any new joint projects, so it might just naturally fade away from then."
When the US will actually adopt international accounting standards remains uncertain.
The US Securities Exchange Commission is due to make an announcement before Christmas and recent comments by some SEC commissioners "keep alive" the prospect there may be some moves in the next few weeks.
However, there have also been comments that an announcement may be postponed beyond the US elections at the end of this year.
"Irrespective of what [the US] decides, the question of how the IASB operates will be decided in the not-too-distant future," he says.
The slow resolution of the insurance standard has been tougher for local insurance companies as Australia has moved ahead of other jurisdictions through AASB 1023.
"The developments of the AASB standards on insurance are well ahead of many countries and the local industry is somewhat impatient to have that global standard issued," Stevenson says.
He says the local board has written to the IASB urging faster action but "unfortunately that is not the position in a number of other places in the world that have not had insurance standards".

Concierge.com's insider take:
Off the northeast coast of Andros, the biggest (though paradoxically most unspoiled) Bahamian island, is this idyllic 96-acre private island, which has been made into one of the most laid-back resorts in the entire Caribbean by its Jamaican owners, Brian and Jennifer Hew. Rooms, mostly huge, are in a collection of 19 villas and cottages scattered among the sea grapes and palms. Some are beachfront, others set back a ways, and all have verandas, fans, AC, and CD players. Decor ranges from soaring wooden cathedral ceilings, exposed stone walls, and Turkish rugs in some rooms to all boudoir white in others; the biggest have kitchenettes—though these seem de trop if you choose the "Guest of House" option, in which all food and drink (apart from Champagne) is included. Everyone gets free use of kayaks, Windsurfers, snorkeling gear, bicycles, and tennis equipment. Dinners can be served à deux on the beach; lunches on an uninhabited islet; and, though there's a spa, a massage will come to you if requested. Cookies, still warm from the oven, are left in your room every afternoon—one of the small things that make people remember this place most fondly. That and the Saturday night jump-up barbecue.

Cob (material)
Cob, cobb or clom (in Wales) is a natural building material made from sand, clay, water, some kind of fibrous or organic material (straw) and earth. Cob is fireproof, resistant to seismic activity,[1] and inexpensive. It can be used to create artistic, sculptural forms and has been revived in recent years by the natural building and sustainability movements.
In technical building and engineering documents such as the Uniform Building Code, cob may be referred to as an "unburned clay masonry" when used in a structural context. It might also be referred to as an "aggregate" in non-structural contexts, such as a "clay and sand aggregate" or more simply an "organic aggregate," such as where the cob is an insulating filler between pole and beam construction.
History and usage[edit]
Cob is an ancient building material, that may have been used for building since prehistoric times. Some of the oldest man-made structures in Afghanistan are composed of rammed earth and cob.[2] Cobwork (tabya) was used in the Maghreb and al-Andalus in the 11th and 12th centuries and was described in detail by Ibn Khaldun in the 14th century.[3]
Cob structures can be found in a variety of climates across the globe. European examples include:
- in England, notably in the counties of Devon and Cornwall in the West Country
- in the Vale of Glamorgan and Gower Peninsula in Wales
- in Donegal Bay in Ulster and in Munster, South-West Ireland
- in Finisterre in Brittany, where many homes have survived over 500 years and are still inhabited[citation needed]
Many old cob buildings can be found in Africa, the Middle East, and some parts of the eastern United States.[citation needed] A number of cob cottages survive from mid-19th century New Zealand.[4]
Traditionally, English cob was made by mixing the clay-based subsoil with sand, straw and water using oxen to trample it. The earthen mixture was then ladled onto a stone foundation in courses and trodden onto the wall by workers in a process known as cobbing. The construction would progress according to the time required for the prior course to dry. After drying, the walls would be trimmed and the next course built, with lintels for later openings such as doors and windows being placed as the wall takes shape.[5]
The walls of a cob house were generally about 24 inches thick, and windows were correspondingly deep-set, giving the homes a characteristic internal appearance. The thick walls provided excellent thermal mass which was easy to keep warm in winter and cool in summer. Walls with a high thermal mass value act as a thermal buffer inside the home.[6] The material has a long life-span even in rainy climates, provided a tall foundation and large roof overhang are present.
Modern cob buildings[edit]
When Kevin McCabe built a two-story, four bedroom cob house in England in 1994, it was reputedly the first cob residence built in the country in 70 years. His methods remained very traditional; the only innovations he added were using a tractor to mix the cob itself, and adding sand or shillet (a gravel of crushed shale) to reduce the shrinkage.
From 2002 to 2004, sustainability enthusiast Rob Hopkins initiated the building of a cob house for his family, the first new one in Ireland in about one hundred years. It was undertaken as a community project, but destroyed by an unknown arsonist shortly before completion.[7] This house, located at The Hollies Centre for Practical Sustainability in County Cork, is being rebuilt (2010). There are also a number of other modern cob houses completed and more planned including a public education centre.[8]
In 2000–2001, a modern, four-bedroom cob house in Worcestershire, England, designed by Associated Architects was sold for £999,000. Cobtun House was built in 2001 and won the Royal Institute of British Architects' Sustainable Building of the Year award in 2005. The total construction cost was £300,000, but the metre-thick cob outer wall cost only £20,000.
In the Pacific Northwest of the United States there has been a resurgence of cob building both as an alternative building practice and one desired for its form, function and cost effectiveness. There are more than ten cob houses in the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia built by Pat Hennebery, Tracy Calvert, Elke Cole and the Cobworks workshops.
In 2007, Ann and Gord Baird began building a two-story cob house in Victoria, British Columbia for an estimated $210,000 CDN. The 2,150 sq. ft. home includes heated floors, solar panels and a southern exposure for passive solar heating.[9]
In 2010, Sota Construction Services in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, completed construction on its new 7,500 sq. ft. corporate headquarters,[10] which features exterior cob walls, along with other energy-saving features like radiant heat flooring, roof-mounted solar panel array, and daylighting features. The cob walls, in conjunction with the other sustainable features, helped the building earn a LEED Platinum rating in 2012, and it also received one of the highest scores by percentage of total points earned in any LEED category.[11]
The building process known as "Oregon Cob" is one which was refined by Welsh architect Ianto Evans and researcher Linda Smiley in the 1980s. Oregon Cob integrates the variation of wall layup technique which uses loaves of mud mixed with sand and straw with a rounded architectural stylism.[12][13] They experimented with a mixture of cob and straw bale construction, called balecob.

The ratio can well be 70/30 depending on your sound signature preference :D
I just got the HE-400 yesterday so it's a quick first impression with fews hours of burn-in. I did not feel the HE-400 bass was much better or prominent than that of the HE-500 (when properly driven).
What I did feel, however, is a recess in the mids, especially in the vocals range which make it sound more "heavy" . By comparison, the HE-500s do sound more open and fuller in this area. The 400s don't quite have the magic mids of the 500s.
The treble quantity is a bit more that adequate for me (I'm used to the smooth treble of the 500s), I hope it will tame up a bit with burn-in.
The interesting point, however, is that it does not require a powerfull headphone amp to show its true potential. I really (REALLY) enjoyed it on my Fostex HA-A3! The sound signature reminded me of that of the HE-500 when driven with the (slightly) warm SA-31 amp.
For $800, this is a Killer combo!
I will still give it time to burn-in and try to adjust to the change in sound signature and give a proper feedback.
Note: the pleathers were replaced with velours, of course :D. The pads that came with it are a bit flabby, more so than the pleathers that came with my HE-500...

Lili Forberg weds her sweetheart!
The stunning Celeb Photographer Lili Forberg wed her sweetheart this year in a Vintage inspired romantic fashion during the Summer. We were delighted to find Lili's special day featured in VIP Magazine this month. Lili wears a couture bonzie wedding gown that we custom created for Lili's big day. The Dress featured the most amazing french style tulle based lace with hand beaded pearls and seed beads in creamy ivory. The main feature of the dress was the embellished area under the bustline in a signature bonzie style sash featuring handcrafted silk corsages, lace appliques and handbeading. A delicate layer of soft tulle petticoat finished the look creating a romantic one of a kind gown created especially for Lili.
One of our fave projects of 2011!
We would like to wish both Lili and her new Hubbie the most magical joureny through life together and here's to new adventures in 2012.

"Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated."

The custody battle for Paul Walker's 15-year-old daughter Meadow is ongoing, and a new report suggests that the teen feels betrayed by her family. While her mother and her grandmother continue to go head-to-head in court over her, no one has consulted the teen to see what she really wants.
Paul Walker's daughter, Meadow, has an opinion about who should raise her now that her father is gone. On April 30, a Los Angeles judge appointed an independent attorney to speak on the teen's behalf for future court hearings.
Paul Walker's Daughter Betrayed By Family Members
Even though Paul has been gone for five months now, his daughters future remains in limbo.
The teen's mother, Rebecca Soteros, and her grandmother, Cheryl Walker, have been battling over custody of Meadow since Paul died in a car crash in November 2013.
Now, a new report suggests that the teen is frustrated with the custody battle and even feels betrayed because no one has consulted her to see who she would rather live with.
Before Paul's death, Meadow was living with him and his mother, Cheryl, after asking her dad if she could move in with him in 2011. Meadow reportedly asked to move out of her mother's mom in Hawaii because Rebecca suffers from a serious alcohol addiction.
Meadow is reportedly feeling very betrayed by her grandmother and her mother, according to E! Online. The teen is upset that no one will ask her what SHE wants — even though it is probably the most important factor for the case.
Thankfully, a judge has assigned an independent attorney to Meadow, which will help the court make a decision in who will raise her now that her father is gone.
Judge Refuses To Dismiss Custody Case
In a custody hearing on April 30, Superior Court Commissioner David Cowan refused to dismiss the case after reading an investigators report that focused on the issues with Meadow's troubled mom, Rebecca. That report remains confidential.
However, the commissioner stated that Rebecca was not in a position to take custody of Meadow because of her current living situation.
Details about that living situation remain unknown, as they are only listed in the confidential report.

The problem is even if cheryl and rebecca made an agreement no judge after hearing cheryl's overreactive alegation would ignore it and just drop it without investigating.her protector is dead and meadow is still a minor. Clearly paul wasn't too alarmed and the joint custody agreement worked for years untill he had her permanantly with him in 2011.he clearly should have updated his messed up will he had written at 25 before he died at 40 clearly he never wanted rebecca to loose meadow if she was still alive.cheryl loves meadow but this is less about meadow and more about paul.
Paul did amend his will years ago to include his mother as legal guardian, not Rebecca. It's common knowledge that Paul had several fights with Rebecca over the years regarding her drinking. So he was alarmed enough to update his will to name his mother and not his ex as Meadow's legal guardian. The woman was arrested for two DUI's in 10 years in two different states, her drinking was a recurring problem and is part of the reason Meadow asked to move in with Paul in 2011.

Slow Cooked Stuffed Pepper Soup
Did you ever notice that sometimes you can serve the same old ingredients in a new combination, and suddenly your picky eater decides he likes them now? Or maybe he doesn't even notice they are there! That is the story of Stuffed Pepper Soup at our house. I am a huge fan of stuffed peppers, but my boys (including dear husband) aren't so thrilled. However, when I made this soup it disappeared pretty quickly. Even my most picky eater (who proclaims peppers and tomatoes are "yucky") cleared his bowl twice with not a veggie left in sight.
This soup is perfect during the transition from summer to fall since peppers and tomatoes are easy to find at good prices at farmer's markets right now, and thankfully the weather is starting cool a bit (at least where I live). And of course the slow cooker makes it a winner any time of year!
Slow Cooked Stuffed Pepper Soup
Kim @ Onceamonthmom.com, adapted from The Country Cook
- 1.5 cups ground beef, cooked
- 1.25 cups diced onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1.5 cups diced green bell pepper
- 1.5 cups diced red bell pepper
- 28 ounces petite diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1.75 cups Homemade Chicken Broth
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Place all ingredients except rice and cheese into a slow cooker. Cook on low 4-6 hours. Stir in cooked rice and sprinkle each serving with shredded cheese. Serve with crackers or top with sour cream if desired.

I've never thought of making stuffed peppers into a soup, but that sounds delicious! Can't wait to try it!
What happened to the zip list access?
What texture are the peppers once soup is thawed and heated? My soups where peppers are a main feature have been mushy
I made this last night and it was a huge hit with the family, even the little one! Tastes just like stuffed peppers. I didn't even use the slow cooker, I just sauteed the vegetables and used pre-cooked, quartered meatballs. Then added everything to the pot with the other ingredients and heated long enough for the flavors to meld. Poured over white (Jasmine) rice. Delish!
I made this yesterday and it was DELICIOUS. I subbed ground sausage for the ground beef because that's what we like in our stuffed peppers. I also used store-bought chicken broth. It was so, so good. I already shared it with all of my friends, and I'll definitely be making it again!

Made this tonight with ground turkey and garden peppers and tomatoes. Had to add some seasonings to suit our taste – seasoned salt, chives and a little chili powder – served with plain white rice and shredded cheese – Wow – It was delicious!!!!! Thank you for the wonderful recipes.

Is the 1.5 cups ground beef measured before or after it is cooked? (At first I thought it was 1.5 pounds ground beef!)

BIOGRAPHY Charlie McDermott, born April 6, 1990, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, is an American actor, best known for playing Axl in ABC's comedy series, "The Middle". At an early age McDermott began making films. He covered all aspects of movie making, directing, editing, even scouting possible filming location by having his parents drive him around town. Once his camera rolled...he began developing his craft as an actor. In school many of his teachers would allow Charlie to submit a film on a given topic in place of his book report, religion or history project. At the age of 13, McDermott landed his first movie part in the M. Night Shyamalan film "The Village" playing the role of "10 Year-Old Boy" who delivers the message to William Hurt that the creatures are in the village. He attended the open casting call out of an interest to observe fellow Philadelphia area resident M. Night Shyamalan at work with a hope that he would somehow be chosen to be an extra in the movie. Little did he dream that he would actually get to work with the director! With encouragement from M. Night and other actors on the set, he began the pursuit of his acting career. Since 2004, McDermott has worked on a wide range of television series, including The Office, Private Practice and The Middle (as a series regular). His biggest movie parts to date are "Disappearances" and "Frozen River", in which he received a nomination for an Independent Spirit Award as Best Supporting Actor in 2008. In 2009, McDermott became known to TV audience when he was cast in ABC's hit comedy series, "The Middle", appearing shirtless in nearly every episode. View GALLERY:

I am a small business owner that has rediscovered a love of programming. 20 years ago I was a moderately skilled programmer, after a 20 year break I am, once again, a newbie.
My programming background was in the 80's in BASIC, 6502/8088 Assy and a spattering of PASCAL, FORTRAN etc.. I had no exposure whatsoever to OOP until I decided to learn C# on my own a few years ago. I do have a background in electronics including digital design and theory, again from the 80s.
My goal is to build a series of small aps to enable employees to work more efficiently and to make certain tasks easier for them. Unfortunately I am finding doing so, while enjoyable, a bit frustrating in a vacuum and so I turn to Stack Overflow as my mentor :-)

Rejuvenating Back Yard
I live in S. Louisiana with heavy, acidic soil that is naturally low in just about every nutrient and low in organic matter due to our heat and heavy rainfall. When I first moved into this house about 12 years ago, I had beautiful centipede sod installed and it looked beautiful for the first few years, but the underlying soil was not amended and it just slowly declined.
Adding to the problem was the fact the backyard flooded badly every time it rained. I have gone a long way to fixing this by just completing a drainage project which includes 2 drains in the lowest spots that flow through underground pipes to the ditch parallel to the street in the front yard. I am happy to report that I did this myself and it actually works!
I have also started liming with dolomitic lime (one application last fall and one this spring at the recommended rate of 50pd per 1000 sq feet--plan to repeat twice a year) I have also decided to go the organic route and have been having some success in the front yard by using alfalfa, milorganite, and top dressing with manure/compost.
Last fall I turned the back half of my backyard into a huge perennial bed, so I only have about a 500-700 sq ft area left that I want to re-create as lawn. Almost all of the original lawn has died off and now there is just a covering of weeds with a few runners of centipede and St. Aug here and there. Should I amend the existing soil and resod? Or should I try to coax the grass back that is still there somehow? I just got a load of mason or sharp sand to level out some low spots and contour the slope in some areas to flow better toward the drains. Shoud I till some of this sand with some organic matter into the soil? I always thought I had heavy clay but my soil test tells me its loam. I have noticed that the soil does respond nicely to the addition of organics and I have acheived a lovely soil in some of the beds in which I have mulched and topdressed with manure over several years.
Was the recommended amount of lime the result of a good reliable soil test? I seldom see a recommendation for applying lime twice a year except from a salesperson. The best time to apply lime is fall.
While it may be difficult what your soil needs is organic matter and in your area and that you seldom see temperatures low enough to slow the Soil Food Web so any organic matter in the soil is going to be worked on year around.
A good reliable soil test that gives you soil pH as well as major nutrients (P, K, Ca, Mg) and can show the balance between them is one tool that can help. These simple soil tests can also be a tool that could help.
1) Soil test for organic matter. From that soil sample put enough of the rest to make a 4 inch level in a clear 1 quart jar, with a tight fitting lid. Fill that jar with water and replace the lid, tightly. Shake the jar vigorously and then let it stand for 24 hours. Your soil will settle out according to soil particle size and weight. For example, a good loam will have about 1-3/4 inch (about 45%) of sand on the bottom. about 1 inch (about 25%) of silt next, about 1 inch (25%) of clay above that, and about 1/4 inch (about 5%) of organic matter on the top.
2) Drainage. Dig a hole 1 foot square and 1 foot deep and fill that with water. After that water drains away refill the hole with more water and time how long it takes that to drain away. Anything less than 2 hours and your soil drainsâ too quickly and needs more organic matter to slow that drainage down. Anything over 6 hours and the soil drains too slowly and needs lots of organic matter to speed it up.
3) Tilth. Take a handful of your slightly damp soil and squeeze it tightly. When the pressure is released the soil should hold together in that clump, but when poked with a finger that clump should fall apart.
4) Smell. What does your soil smell like? A pleasant, rich earthy odor? Putrid, offensive, repugnant odor? The more organic matter in your soil the more active the soil bacteria will be and the nicer your soil will smell.
5) Life. How many earthworms per shovel full were there? 5 or more indicates a pretty healthy soil. Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy.
I already had the soil test.
It was recommended that applying 100 pds of lime all at once was too much and I shoud apply in 2 separate intervals.
My main question is really how do you get organic matter into the ground on an existing soil? I am afraid that there is so little actual grass left in this area that I might just 'start over'.
I notice Home Depot near my house just got a big shipment of fresh St. Aug sod. I think I am just going to go ahead and break up my existing soil and add soil conditioner, sharp sand, composted manure and then sod over the top. Now that I have hopefully corrected the drainage problem I wont get the anaerobic problems which basically kllled the lawn before. Add to that actually improving the subsoil before laying the sod this time should help.
I know many are proponents of no till and I agree with that to a certain extent, but how do you successfully do that with a lawn situation. It's not like a perennial bed where you can layer mulch on top of the soil surface. It this was an out of the way spot I might consider layering a heavy orgainc mulch on top of the soil for a year to let the soil improve before re-sodding, but this area I am dealing with is right outside my back door off the patio. Tired of the dog tracking dirt into the house from the mostly bare ground outside!
Short of tilling there is no easy way to get adequate amounts of organic matter into soil. Although the norm is to till and wait a week or two and till again then more waiting before laying sod I have seen it done, laying of sod, right after the first and only till. Results usually are not all that good but it does solve an immediate problem such as yours. Settling, "weeds", unevenness of the lawn are things that can happen.

A Texas woman found herself in jail on Thanksgiving after she accrued over $200 in overdue library book fines.
Overdue library books landed a Baytown woman behind bars on Thanksgiving Day, police said Tuesday.
Baytown police said Jessekah Few, 25, failed to appear in court on charges related to the unreturned library property.
She was arrested on outstanding warrants.
"It's not a very common charge," said Detective Alan Cliburn with the Baytown Police Department.
Cliburn said several arrests have been made for similar outstanding warrants.
"It's part of the deal, part of the agreement that you enter into. It's just like anything else -- you can't take something that doesn't belong to you and just hold onto it," Cliburn said.
The library director said charges are only filed if someone has more than $200 of library property and repeatedly ignores requests to return it.
Cliburn said that is exactly what happened.
"The entire story of this is that the female was in the Harris County Jail prior to this warrant was actually issued to her, so she was aware of the warrant," he said.
Few is out of jail and said she doesn't have the books anymore.
She said a house fire destroyed them seven years ago and said she has already turned in paperwork from the Red Cross, her landlord and the fire department backing that claim.
Few's charge is a class C misdemeanor, the equivalent of a traffic ticket.
