In honor of the 25th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda, Roo tackles perhaps the rarest set of Zelda games out there (and no, the CD-i ones don't count - ever). Released on the Nintendo Satellaview in the 90's and broadcast via satellite, BS Legend of Zelda & BS Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets were big hits in Japan... but are they worth a look today? Find out in this episode, along with a retrospective of the Satellaview system thrown in at no extra charge!

On May 30th - June 1st I had the opportunity to attend a symposium that linked together the concerns of public health professionals and those who study and model complex systems. The symposium was hosted by the Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health and the Center for the Study of Complex Systems here at the University of Michigan. The meeting brought together a very diverse groups of individuals. This provided me the opportunity to have substantive discussions with a range of individuals working in public health policy and implementation. These interactions helped me gain a recognition for the scale (and complexity) that individuals and organizations face when attempting to solve problems on local and global scales. Among my many encounters, I was able to converse and share ideas with a Professor from Brown University that studies nursing home policy, a graduate student from John Hopkins that has spent the last eight years developing and directing humanitarian relief missions in places ranging from Bolivia to Tajikistan, and a public health practitioner responsible for implementing relief programs for children in Ethiopia. I was genuinely surprised at the potential that exists to merge the interests of those working in these areas with those of art and design. I'll try to articulate a few.

At his Lt. Waffle bar inside San Francisco's Linea Caffe, Chef Anthony Myint pays homage to churros by coating a thick, yeast-raised waffle with cinnamon sugar, then drizzling it with a subtly chile-spiked chocolate sauce and luscious Mexican crema enriched with coconut cream.
This recipe was featured as part of our Valentine's Day feature on romance waffles.
- 1Heat the oven to 250°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and place it in the oven.
For the yeast mixture:
- 1Stir together the milk, sugar, and yeast and set aside to activate for 15 minutes.
For the waffles:
- 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, semolina, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder; set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, half and half, vanilla, and activated yeast mixture.
- 2Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, whisking in the dry mixture from the sides until you get a fairly smooth batter (small lumps are OK). Cover and let sit at room temperature until risen, at least 1 hour. (You can also cover and refrigerate overnight, allowing it to warm at room temperature for 1 hour before making the waffles.)
- 3Heat the waffle iron to medium according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the iron is heated, brush it with vegetable oil, fill it with batter, close the lid, and cook until the waffle is golden brown (when the steam starts to diminish from the iron, you can open the top and peek for doneness). Transfer the waffle to the wire rack on the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the iron with oil as needed.
For the cinnamon sugar:
- 1Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
For the chocolate sauce:
- 1Combine the cocoa powder and sugar. Whisk in the water, espresso, chili powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
For the coconut crema:
- 1Mix the coconut cream and sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the vanilla and crema or crème fraîche.
To assemble:
- 1Sprinkle each waffle with cinnamon sugar, drizzle with chocolate sauce and coconut crema, then sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar.

Stocks to Watch: Apple, Netflix, 3M, UPS
NEW YORK -- Apple (AAPL - Get Report) shares dropped more than 10% in after-hours trading Wednesday after the tech giant's revenue trailed forecasts, earnings per share fell and profit margins shrank.
Apple posted revenue of $54.5 billion in its fiscal first quarter, up from $46.33 billion a year earlier but below analysts' forecasts of $54.73 billion. It earned $13.81 a share, down from $13.87 a year earlier; analysts were looking for $13.47.
Apple sold 47.8 million iPhones during the quarter, up from 37 million a year earlier.
Speaking during Apple's earnings conference call Wednesday, CEO Tim Cook shrugged off speculation of a drop in orders.
"I know there's been lots of rumors about order cut," he said in response to an analyst's question. "I would suggest it's good to question the accuracy of any kind of build plans." Apple sold 22.9 million iPads in its first quarter, compared with 15.4 million a year earlier; 4.1 million Macs, down from 5.2 million; 12.7 million iPods, down from 15.4 million. Apple's gross margin was 38.6% compared with 44.7%. For its fiscal second quarter, Apple forecast revenue between $41 billion and $43 billion, gross margin between 37.5% and 38.5%, and operating expenses between $3.8 billion and $3.9 billion. Analysts are looking for revenue of $45.38 billion. Apple shares were trading at $474 in premarket trading Thursday. They closed at $514 on Wednesday. Apple Shares Succumb to Panic Selling as Growth SlowsNetflix (NFLX - Get Report) gained 2 million video-streaming subscribers in the U.S. during the fourth quarter, and posted a profit of $8 million during a period when analysts were expecting a loss. The stock jumped more than 35% in after-hours trading following the release of the results on Wednesday. Netflix said it expects its video streaming service to pick up 1.35 million to 2.1 million subscribers in the U.S. during the first quarter ending in March. Netflix also said it expects to break even or report another profit during the quarter. Netflix earned $8 million, or 13 cents a share, in the fourth quarter, down 78% from a year earlier, but analysts were calling for a loss of 12 cents a share because of expenses for expansion and licensing. Last year, the company earned $35 million, or 64 cents a share. Netflix said revenue rose in the fourth quarter to $945 million, up from year-earlier revenue of $876 million, and above analysts' views.
Software giant Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) is expected by analysts Thursday to report fiscal second-quarter earnings of 75 cents a share on revenue of $21.6 billion.
3M (MMM - Get Report) is expected by analysts Thursday to post fourth-quarter earnings of $1.41 a share on revenue of $7.18 billion. 5 Cash-Rich Stocks to Buy in 2013

Introducing...the (Semi)complete List of Places!!! Now you no longer have to go searching for your favorite spot again! Here, I have compiled the links to just about every active locale used here. Naturally I can't get EVERY place/event/adventure out there. If you see something I missed, don't be afraid to post it. Tip - Looking for a specific place? Press Ctrl + F and type it in ^_^ To Clarify RP Types - Location - Places that you can go to set up your own RP scenario. Usually no real main plot here. That's for you to create. Adventure - These actually have a plot, a reason, or something that separates it from a place and an event. Event - These are small RP's that tend to end quickly, and are here just to enjoy. They usually fall in line with what's going on at the time (such as a Harrowing Party or Pentakill Concert) and can affect Original Characters and even Champions permanently. Ask Thread - These are NON-CHAMPION RP threads that are simply here for fun. They work just like the champion ask threads do, but no one can take over them if they are inactive. Similar to Locations, but more focused on talking rather than driving a story. Open RP - Anyone can join in at anytime, so long as you understand what's going on. Semi-Open RP - Closed off to a select group of people, but those with reasonable excuses can join in. Less strict than closed RP's but not quite open to everyone to waltz in. Closed RP - No one but the predetermined people may post here IC. Usually reserved for private RP's and those with a set story that can't be joined in. Choose Your Own Path - Similar to Open RP's. The narrator offers a list of choices, and the most requested continues the story. Anyone can vote for any reason. -------------------------------------------------------------

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and 6 adult staff members.[5][6] Prior to driving to the school, Lanza shot and killed his mother at their Newtown home.[8][11][12] As first responders arrived at the scene, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
The incident was the deadliest mass shooting at a high school or grade school in U.S. history and the second-deadliest mass shooting by a single person in U.S. history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings.[13][14][15]
The shooting prompted renewed debate about gun control in the United States, including proposals for making the background-check system universal, and for new federal and state legislation banning the sale and manufacture of certain types of semi-automatic firearms and magazines with more than ten rounds of ammunition.[16][17]
A November 2013 report issued by the Connecticut State Attorney's office concluded that Lanza acted alone and planned his actions, but no evidence collected provided any indication as to why he did so, or why he targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School.[18]
As of November 30, 2012, 456 children were enrolled in kindergarten through fourth grade at Sandy Hook Elementary School.[19] The school's security protocol had recently been upgraded, requiring visitors to be individually admitted after visual and identification review by video monitor. Doors to the school were locked at 9:30 am each day, after morning arrivals.[20]
Newtown is located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, about 60 miles (97 km) outside New York City.[21] Violent crime had been rare in the town of 28,000 residents; there was only one homicide in the town in the ten years prior to the school shooting.[22]
Some time before 9:30 a.m. EST on Friday December 14, 2012, Lanza shot and killed his mother Nancy Lanza, aged 52, at their Newtown home with a .22-caliber Savage MK II-F bolt action rifle.[12] Investigators later found her body clad in pajamas, in her bed, with four gunshot wounds to her head.[28] Lanza then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School.[11][12]
Shortly after 9:35 am, using his mother's Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle,[29][30][31] Lanza shot his way through a glass panel next to the locked front entrance doors of the school.[32][33][34] He was wearing black clothing, yellow earplugs, sunglasses,[35] an olive green utility vest, and was carrying magazines for the rifle.[36] Initial reports that he had been wearing body armor were incorrect.[37] Some of those present heard initial shots on the school intercom system, which was being used for morning announcements.[20]
Principal Dawn Hochsprung and school psychologist Mary Sherlach were meeting with other faculty members when they heard, but did not recognize, gunshots. Hochsprung, Sherlach, and lead teacher Natalie Hammond went into the hall to determine the source of the sounds and encountered Lanza. A faculty member who was at the meeting said that the three women called out "Shooter! Stay put!" which alerted their colleagues to the danger and saved their lives.[38] A teacher hiding in the math lab heard school janitor Rick Thorne yell "Put the gun down!" An aide heard gunshots. Thorne survived.[39] Lanza killed both Hochsprung and Sherlach.[40] Hammond was hit first in the leg, and then sustained another gunshot wound. She lay still in the hallway and then, not hearing any more noise, crawled back to the conference room and pressed her body against the door to keep it closed.[41] She was later treated at Danbury Hospital.[40][42]
A nine-year-old boy stated that he heard the shooter say: "Put your hands up!", and someone else say "Don't shoot!", as well as people yelling, and many gunshots over the intercom, while he, his classmates, and teacher took refuge in a closet in the gymnasium.[43] Diane Day, a school therapist who had been at the faculty meeting with Hochsprung, heard screaming, followed by more gunshots. A second teacher, who was a substitute kindergarten teacher, was wounded in the attack. While she was closing a door further down the hallway, she was hit in the foot with a bullet that ricocheted; Lanza never entered her classroom.[7][44][45]
After killing Hochsprung and Sherlach, Lanza entered the main office, but apparently did not see the people hiding there, and returned to the hallway.[34] Lanza then entered a first-grade classroom where Lauren Rousseau, a substitute teacher, had herded her first grade students to the back of the room and was trying to hide them in a bathroom when Lanza forced his way into the classroom.[44] Rousseau, behavioral therapist Rachel D'Avino who had been employed for a week at the school to work with a special needs student, and fifteen students in Rousseau's class were all killed. Fourteen of the children were dead at the scene, one injured child was taken to a hospital for treatment but was later declared dead.[41] Most of the teachers and students were found crowded together in the bathroom.[46] A six-year-old girl was the sole survivor and was found by police in the classroom following the shooting.[41] The surviving girl was hidden in one of the corners of the classroom's bathroom during the shooting.[47] The girl's family pastor said that she survived the mass shooting by remaining still, and playing dead. When she reached her mother she said: "Mommy, I'm okay, but all my friends are dead." The child described the shooter as "a very angry man".[48][49] A girl hiding in a bathroom with two teachers told police that she heard a boy in the classroom screaming, "Help me! I don't want to be here!" followed by Lanza saying, "Well, you're here" followed by more hammering sounds.[50]
Lanza next went to another first-grade classroom nearby, where there are conflicting reports about the order of events. According to some reports, the classroom's teacher Victoria Leigh Soto had concealed some of the students in a closet or bathroom, and some of the other students were hiding under desks.[44] Soto was walking back to the classroom door to lock it when Lanza entered the classroom.[51] Lanza walked to the back of the classroom, saw the children under the desks and shot them. First grader Jesse Lewis shouted at his classmates to run for safety, which several of them did. Lewis was looking at Lanza when Lanza fatally shot him.[52] Another account, given by a surviving child's father, said that Soto had moved the children to the back of the classroom and that they were seated on the floor when Lanza entered. According to this account, neither Lanza nor any of the occupants of the classroom spoke. Lanza stared at the people on the floor, pointed the gun at a boy seated there, but did not fire at the boy, who ultimately survived.[53] Lanza fired at another child in the class several times, but he was protected by the stuffed animal he was holding. The boy got up and ran out of the classroom and was among the survivors.[50] A Hartford Courant report said that six of the children who escaped did so when Lanza stopped shooting because his weapon jammed or he erred in reloading it.[44] Earlier reports said that as Lanza entered her classroom, Soto told him that the children were in the auditorium. When several of the children came out of their hiding places and tried to run for safety, Lanza fatally shot them. Soto put herself between her students and the shooter, who then fatally shot her.[54] Anne Marie Murphy, the teacher's aide who worked with special-needs students in Soto's classroom, was found covering six-year-old Dylan Hockley, who also died.[55][56] Soto and four children were found dead in the classroom, Soto near the north wall of the room with a set of keys nearby.[41]:14 One child was taken to the hospital, but was pronounced dead.[41]:14 Six surviving children from the class and a school bus driver took refuge at a nearby home.[57] According to the official report released by the state's attorney, nine children ran from Soto's classroom and survived, while two children were found by police hiding in a class bathroom.[41]:14 In all, 11 children from Soto's class survived.[52] Five of Soto's students were killed.[58]
School nurse Sally Cox,[59] 60, hid under a desk in her office. She later described seeing the door opening and Lanza's boots and legs facing her desk from approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) away. He remained standing for a few seconds before turning around and leaving. She and the school secretary Barbara Halstead called 9-1-1 and hid in a first-aid supply closet for up to four hours.[60] Custodian Rick Thorne ran through hallways, alerting classrooms.[61]
First grade teacher Kaitlin Roig, aged 29, hid 14 students in a bathroom and barricaded the door, telling them to be completely quiet to remain safe.[62][63] Lanza is believed to have bypassed her classroom, which was the first classroom on the left side of the hallway, because, following a lockdown drill weeks earlier, Roig failed to remove a piece of black construction paper covering the small window in her classroom door. Lanza may have believed that Roig's classroom was empty because the door was closed and the window was covered.[44]
School library staff Yvonne Cech and Maryann Jacob first hid 18 children in a part of the library the school used for lockdown in practice drills. Discovering that one door would not lock, they had the children crawl into a storage room, where Cech barricaded the door with a filing cabinet.[5][43][64]
Music teacher Maryrose Kristopik, 50, barricaded her fourth-graders in a tiny supply closet during the rampage.[65] Lanza arrived moments later, pounding and yelling "Let me in", while the students in Kristopik's class quietly hid inside.[66]
Two third graders, chosen as classroom helpers, were walking down the hallway to the office to deliver the morning attendance sheet as the shooting began. Teacher Abbey Clements pulled both children into her classroom, where they hid.[67]
Laura Feinstein, a reading specialist at the school, gathered two students from outside her classroom and hid with them under desks after they heard gunshots.[68] Feinstein called the school office and tried to call 9–1–1, but could not connect because of lack of reception on her cell phone. She hid with the children for approximately 40 minutes, before law enforcement came to lead them out of the room.[69]
The police heard the final shot at 9:40:03 a.m, and believe that it was Lanza shooting himself in the lower rear portion of his head with the Glock 20SF in classroom 10.[70] Lanza was found wearing a pale green pocket vest over a black polo shirt, over a black T-shirt, black sneakers, black fingerless gloves, black socks, and a black canvas belt.[70][71] Also found in the vicinity of Lanza was a black boonie hat, and thin frame glasses. The Glock was found, apparently jammed, near the shooter, and the Bushmaster was found several feet away from the shooter.[70] A 9 mm Sig Sauer P226, which was not fired during the incident, was found on the shooter's person.[72]
Authorities determined that Lanza reloaded frequently during the shootings, sometimes firing only fifteen rounds from a thirty-round magazine.[73] He shot all but two of his victims multiple times.[74] Initial reports stated that one victim, six-year-old Noah Pozner, was shot 11 times, but Pozner's father disputed this, citing the medical examiner's report. He said that Noah had been shot "multiple" times, but declined to give an exact figure.[75] Most of the shooting took place in two first-grade classrooms near the entrance of the school.[76] The student victims were eight boys and twelve girls, between six and seven years of age,[77] and the six adults were all women who worked at the school. Bullets were also found in at least three cars parked outside the school, leading police to believe that he was firing at a teacher who was standing near a window.[44][73] When police interviewed survivors, a teacher recalled hearing Lanza curse at his victims saying; "Look at me!" and "Come over here!" and "Look at them!"[50]

The first call to 911 was around 9:35 am. Newtown 911 police dispatch first broadcast that there was a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary (SHES) at 9:36 am, about thirty seconds after they received the first call.[78] Connecticut State Police (CSP) were dispatched at 9:37 am.[62] Newtown police arrived at the school street at 9:39 am, approximately four and a half minutes after the 911 call and Connecticut State Police arrived at the school street at 9:46 am. Newtown police first entered the school at 9:45 am, approximately ten minutes after the first 911 call and approximately fourteen minutes after the shooting had started. This was approximately five minutes after the last shot was heard.[41] No shots were fired by the police.[3][79]
The Newtown police and Connecticut State Police mobilized local police dog and police tactical units, a bomb squad, and a state police helicopter.[80] Police locked down the school and began evacuating the survivors room by room, escorting groups of students and adults away from the school. They swept the school for additional shooters at least four times.
At approximately 10:00 am, Danbury Hospital scrambled extra medical personnel in expectation of having to treat numerous victims. Three wounded patients were evacuated to the hospital, where two children were later declared dead.[81] The other was an unidentified adult.[7]
The New York City medical examiner dispatched a portable morgue to assist the authorities.[20] The victims' bodies were removed from the school and formally identified during the night after the shooting.[82][83] A state trooper was assigned to each victim's family to protect their privacy and provide them with information.
On December 4, 2013, seven 911 calls relating to the shooting were made public.[84]
Investigators did not find a suicide note or any messages referring to the planning of the attack.[71][85] Janet Robinson, superintendent of Newtown schools, said she had not found any connection between Lanza's mother and the school in contrast to initial media reports that stated Lanza's mother had worked there.[5][86] Police also investigated whether Lanza was the person who had been in an altercation with four staff members at Sandy Hook School the day before the massacre. It was presumed that he killed two of the four staff members involved in the altercation (the principal and the psychologist) and wounded the third (the lead teacher) in the attack; the fourth staff member was not at the school that day.[87] The state police stated that they did not know of any reports about any altercations at the school.[88]
Police sources initially reported Lanza's sibling, Ryan Lanza, as the perpetrator. This was likely because the perpetrator was carrying his brother's identification, Ryan told The Jersey Journal.[89] Lanza's brother voluntarily submitted to questioning by New Jersey State Police, Connecticut State Police, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Police said he was not considered a suspect, and he was not taken into custody.[11][90] Ryan Lanza said he had not been in touch with his brother since 2010.[91][92] Connecticut State Police indicated their concern about misinformation being posted on social media sites and threatened prosecution of anyone involved with such activities.[93]
A large quantity of unused ammunition was recovered inside the school along with three semi-automatic firearms found with Lanza: a .223-caliber Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle, a 10mm Glock 20SF handgun, and a 9mm SIG Sauer P226 handgun.[28][29][30][31][94] Outside the school, an Izhmash Saiga-12 shotgun was found in the car Lanza had driven.[29][31]
Shortly after the shooting, police announced that Lanza used the rifle to kill the victims at the school.[95] At a press conference on December 15, Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, the Chief Medical Examiner of Connecticut, was asked about the wounds, and replied "All the ones that I know of at this point were caused by the long weapon."[5][96][97] When asked if the children suffered before dying, Carver replied by stating that "If so, not for very long".[98] Under Connecticut law at the time,[99] the 20-year-old Lanza was old enough to carry a long gun, such as a rifle or shotgun,[100] but too young to own or carry handguns.[101]
On March 28, 2013, court documents released from the investigation showed that the school shooting had occurred in the space of less than five minutes with 156 shots fired. This comprised 154 shots from the rifle and two shots from the 10mm pistol. Lanza fired one shot from the Glock in the hallway and killed himself with another shot from the pistol to the head.[102][103]
Investigators evaluated Lanza's body, looking for evidence of drugs or medication through toxicology tests.[104] Additionally, although unusual for an investigation of this type and unlikely to provide conclusive information, DNA testing of Lanza was utilized.[105] The results of the toxicology report were published in October 2013, and stated that no alcohol or drugs were found in his system.[106] Lanza's autopsy showed no tumors or gross deformities in his brain.[107]
Lanza removed the hard drive from his computer and damaged it prior to the shooting, creating a challenge for investigators to recover data.[108] At the time of publication of the final report, it had not been possible to recover data from it.[71] Police believe that Lanza extensively researched earlier mass shootings, including the 2011 Norway attacks and the 2006 Amish school shooting at a one-room school in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania.[44][109] Police found that Lanza had downloaded videos relating to the Columbine High School massacre, other shootings and two videos of suicide by gunshot.[110]
Details of the investigation were reported by law enforcement officials at a meeting of the International Association of Police Chiefs and Colonels held during the week of March 11, 2013. An article published in the New York Daily News on March 17, 2013, provided purported details of this report by an anonymous law enforcement veteran who had attended the meeting.[111] The source stated that the investigation had found that Lanza had created a 7-by-4-foot sized spreadsheet listing around 500 mass murderers and the weapons they used, which was considered to have taken years of work and to have been used by Lanza as a "score sheet".[111] On March 18, 2013, Lt. Paul Vance of the Connecticut State Police responded that the information from this meeting was "law enforcement sensitive information" and considered the release to be a leak.[112]
The March 28 documents also provided details on items found at Lanza's home, including three samurai swords, a newspaper article about the Northern Illinois University shooting, and a National Rifle Association certificate.[102] The NRA denied that Adam Lanza or Nancy Lanza were members and reporters noted that the NRA site provides training certificate completion templates for courses offered by NRA affiliated instructors.[113] A gun safe was found in a bedroom and investigators found more than 1,400 rounds of ammunition and other firearms.[114] At home, Lanza had access to three more firearms: a .45 Henry rifle, a .30 Enfield rifle, and a .22 Marlin rifle.[14][115][116][117] These were legally owned by Lanza's mother who was described as a gun enthusiast.[118][119] According to Time Magazine, authorities also found a photograph of Adam Lanza holding a gun to his head at his home following his death.[120]
According to the New York Times, law enforcement officials commented that Adam Lanza would spend most of his time in his basement doing solitary activities, some of which include playing video games, one of which was the warfare game Call of Duty. According to these officials, it also appeared that Lanza "may have taken target practice in the basement".[121]
The final report summarizing the investigation into the shooting was published on November 25, 2013. It concluded that Adam Lanza had acted alone, and that the case was closed. The report noted that "[Lanza] had a familiarity with and access to firearms and ammunition and an obsession with mass murders, in particular the April 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado." The report did not identify a specific motive for the shooting, stating "The evidence clearly shows that the shooter planned his actions, including the taking of his own life, but there is no clear indication why he did so, or why he targeted Sandy Hook elementary school."[18][122]
On the question of Lanza's state of mind, the report noted "significant mental health issues that affected his ability to live a normal life and to interact with others, even those to whom he should have been close... What contribution this made to the shootings, if any, is unknown as those mental health professionals who saw him did not see anything that would have predicted his future behavior." The report found no evidence that Lanza had taken drugs or medication that would have affected his behavior, and observed "'Why did the shooter murder twenty-seven people, including twenty children?' Unfortunately, that question may never be answered conclusively, despite the collection of extensive background information on the shooter through a multitude of interviews and other sources."[71][123]
On December 27, 2013, police released thousands of pages of documents pertaining to the investigation. In accordance with law, the names of victims and witnesses were redacted or withheld. The summary report included information about items found on Lanza's computer, including writings and personal beliefs.[124] A former teacher of Adam Lanza noted that he exhibited anti-social behavior, rarely interacted with other students and was obsessed with writing "about battles, destruction and war."[125]

Adam Peter Lanza (April 22, 1992 – December 14, 2012) and his mother lived in Sandy Hook, 5 miles (8 km) from the elementary school.[126] He did not have a criminal record at the time of the shooting.[8][127][128]
Lanza attended Sandy Hook Elementary School for a brief time.[129] Afterward, he attended St. Rose of Lima Catholic School in Newtown,[130] and then Newtown High School, where he was an honors student.[131] He was taken out of high school at the age of sixteen, and began attending Western Connecticut State University shortly thereafter.[132] Subsequent to his removal from high school, Lanza was home-schooled by his mother and father, and earned a GED.[133] Lanza's aunt said his mother removed him from the Newtown public school system because she was unhappy with the school district's plans for her son.[134] He attended Western Connecticut State University in 2008 and 2009.[133] Students and teachers who knew him in high school described Lanza as "intelligent, but nervous and fidgety". He avoided attracting attention and was uncomfortable socializing. He is not known to have had any close friends in school.[126]
Lanza was diagnosed with a sensory-integration disorder when he started elementary school and was later diagnosed by a psychiatrist with Asperger syndrome when he was thirteen, according to his father, Peter Lanza. He also had obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was referred for treatment for his conditions in October 2006 and was prescribed behavioral-based therapy and Celexa, an antidepressant. Following objections from Nancy Lanza, the treatment was discontinued after four visits, and Lanza stopped taking the medication.[135] His father suspects that Lanza might have suffered from undiagnosed schizophrenia or psychopathy in addition to his other conditions. Peter Lanza said that family members might have missed signs of the onset of schizophrenia during his son's adolescence because they attributed his odd behavior and increasing isolation to Adam's Asperger syndrome.[132][136][137][138][139] Because of concerns that published accounts of Lanza's autism could result in a backlash against others with the condition, autism advocates campaigned to clarify that autism is a brain-related developmental disorder and not a mental illness.[140] The predatory aggression demonstrated by Lanza in the shooting is generally not seen in the autistic population.[141]
Sensory-processing disorder does not have official status by the medical community as a formal diagnosis but is frequently one of the characteristics of autism.[142] Kathleen A. Koenig, a nurse at the Yale Child Studies Center, said Lanza had symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder because he frequently washed his hands and changed his socks 20 times a day, to the point where his mother did three loads of laundry a day.[143] In addition, he would sometimes go through a box of tissues in one day because he could not touch a doorknob with his bare hand.[144]
He taped black garbage bags over his bedroom windows. He was fascinated with mass shootings, most notably the Columbine High School massacre and the Northern Illinois University 2008 shooting.[145] He did not allow anybody in his room, refused to have a Christmas tree in the house, and would not eat his food unless it was arranged in a particular way on his plate.[146] He had also chosen to cut off contact with both his father and brother in the two years before the shooting and at one point communicated with his mother, who lived in the same house, only by email. A Word document entitled "Selfish" about the inherent selfishness of women was found on Lanza's computer after his death.[136]
According to a report issued by the Office of the Child Advocate in Connecticut in November 2014, Lanza may have suffered from anorexia as a teenager. A February 2008 medical note stated that he was around five foot ten inches tall and weighed 112 pounds. At the time of his death, he was found to be anorexic to the point of malnutrition and resultant brain damage, with a height of six feet and weight of 112 pounds.[147]
In January 2014, the New York Daily News reported that Lanza had made a phone call to a college radio station in Oregon in December 2011, in which he used the name "Greg" and compared a teenage mall shooter to Travis the chimpanzee. An audio recording of the call obtained by the newspaper was said to contain Lanza's voice by two of his former high school classmates. Lanza is also said to have discussed the possibility of going on to the radio show in an instant messaging conversation, in which he had the username "Smiggles". Danbury State Attorney Stephen Sedensky said "Adam Lanza may have called a radio station, but I do not specifically know whether or not that is Adam Lanza on the audiotape".[148]
Following her divorce from Adam's father, a corporate executive, Nancy Lanza was supported by alimony payments.[149][150][151] A relative commented that she did not have to work because the divorce settlement had left her "very well off".[152] Initial reports that Nancy Lanza had worked as a volunteer at the Sandy Hook Elementary School were denied by the school superintendent on December 15, 2012.[153] However, in December 2013, the release of documents related to the case included a card found at Nancy Lanza's home dating from 1999, which read "Dear Mrs. Lanza, Thank you for being such a special volunteer. The children achieved a most successful year with the dedication from your active involvement."[110]
Her sister-in-law described Nancy Lanza as a "gun enthusiast who owned at least a dozen firearms".[154][155][156][157] She often took her two sons to a local shooting range and had them learn to shoot.[149] Peter Lanza said he does not believe Nancy Lanza feared her son Adam. She did not confide any fear of Adam to her sister or to her best friend; she slept with her bedroom door unlocked and she kept guns in the house where she lived with Adam.[136]
President Barack Obama gave a televised address on the day of the shootings, saying, "We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."[158] Obama expressed "enormous sympathy for families that are affected",[159][160][161] He also ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at the White House and other U.S. federal government facilities worldwide in respect of the victims.[162] On December 16, Obama traveled to Newtown where he met with victims' families and spoke at an interfaith vigil.[163] President Obama honored the six slain adults posthumously with the 2012 Presidential Citizens Medal on February 15, 2013.[164]
Dannel Malloy, the Governor of Connecticut, addressed the media the evening of the shootings near a local church holding a vigil for the victims, urging the people of Connecticut to come together and help each other. Malloy said, "Evil visited this community today, and it is too early to speak of recovery, but each parent, each sibling, each member of the family has to understand that Connecticut, we are all in this together, we will do whatever we can to overcome this event, we will get through it."[22][165] Hundreds of mourners, including Malloy, attended vigils in various churches in Newtown.[166][167] On December 17, Malloy called for a statewide moment of silence and church bells to be tolled 26 times at 9:30 am on December 21, exactly one week after the school shooting.[168]
Arne Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education, said: "...our thanks go out to every teacher, staff member, and first responder who cared for, comforted, and protected children from harm, often at risk to themselves. We will do everything in our power to assist and support the healing and recovery of Newtown."[169]
The day after the shootings, Lanza's father released a statement:
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones and to all those who were injured. Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy. No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can. We too are asking why. We have cooperated fully with law enforcement and will continue to do so. Like so many of you, we are saddened, but struggling to make sense of what has transpired."[151]
Leaders from many countries and organizations throughout the world also offered their condolences through the weekend after the shooting.[170]
Sandy Hook conspiracy theories have become social phenomena, despite overwhelming contemporary coverage of the incident.[171]
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting prompted renewed debate about gun control in the United States, including proposals for making the background-check system universal, and for new federal and state legislation banning the sale and manufacture of certain types of semi-automatic firearms and magazines with more than ten rounds of ammunition.
Within hours of the shooting, a We the People petition was started asking the White House to "immediately address the issue of gun control through the introduction of legislation in Congress,"[172][173] and the gun control advocacy group the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence reported that an avalanche of donations in the hours after the shooting caused its website to crash.[174] Five days later, President Obama announced that he would make gun control a "central issue" of his second term,[175] and he created a gun violence task force, to be headed by Vice President Joe Biden.[176] On January 16, 2013, Obama signed 23 executive orders and proposed 12 congressional actions regarding gun control.[177] His proposals included universal background checks on firearms purchases, an assault weapons ban, and limiting magazine capacity to 10 cartridges.[178][179]
On December 21, 2012, the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre said gun-free school zones attract killers and that another gun ban would not protect Americans. He called on Congress to appropriate funds to hire armed police officers for every American school and announced that the NRA would create the National School Shield Emergency Response Program to help.[180] After LaPierre's press conference, the Brady Campaign asked for donations to support its gun control advocacy and asked NRA members "who believe like we do, that we are better than this" to join its campaign.[181] On January 8, 2013, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot and injured in a 2011 shooting in Tucson, launched the gun control group Americans for Responsible Solutions, with a specific aim of matching or exceeding the fundraising capabilities of the NRA and similar groups.[182]
On January 16, 2013, New York became the first U.S. state to act after the shooting when it enacted the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act.[183] On April 4, 2013, Connecticut and Maryland both enacted new restrictions to their existing gun laws.[184][185] Ten other states had passed laws that relaxed gun restrictions.[186]
Legislation introduced in the first session of 113th Congress included the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 (AWB 2013)[187][188] and the Manchin-Toomey Amendment to expand background checks on gun purchases.[189][190] Both were defeated in the Senate on April 17, 2013.[191]
A renewed debate about the effects of violent video games on young people began soon after the shooting due to news reports suggesting Lanza frequently played violent video games.[192][193][194] Connecticut Senator Christopher Murphy stated in January 2013 that, as well as guns, video games played a role in the shootings. He said, "I think there's a question as to whether he would have driven in his mother's car in the first place if he didn't have access to a weapon that he saw in video games that gave him a false sense of courage about what he could do that day."[195] Wayne LaPierre, CEO and Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association, publicly blamed video games for the shooting, specifically targeting the free online game Kindergarten Killers created by Gary Short.[196]
Police found numerous[197] video games in the basement of Adam Lanza's home, which was used as a gaming area. The final report into the shooting, published in November 2013, noted that "[Lanza] played video games often, both solo at home and online. They could be described as both violent and non-violent. One person described the shooter as spending the majority of his time playing non-violent video games all day, with his favorite at one point being Super Mario Bros.". The report described his liking for Dance Dance Revolution, which he played frequently for hours with an acquaintance at a theater which had a commercial version of the game, and also played the game at home.[71] The final report did not make a link between video games and the motive for the shooting.[71][198]
The school was closed indefinitely following the shooting, partially because it remained a crime scene.[199] Sandy Hook students returned to classes on January 3, 2013, at Chalk Hill Middle School in nearby Monroe at the town's invitation. Chalk Hill at the time was an unused facility, refurbished after the shooting, with desks and equipment brought in from Sandy Hook Elementary. The Chalk Hill school was temporarily renamed "Sandy Hook".[200][201][202] The University of Connecticut created a scholarship for the surviving children of the shootings.[203]
On January 31, the Newtown school board voted unanimously to ask for police officer presence in all of its elementary schools; previously other schools in the district had such protection, but Sandy Hook had not been one of those.[204]
On May 10, a task force of twenty-eight appointed members voted to demolish the existing Sandy Hook Elementary school and have a new school built in its place. The $57 million proposed project was sent to the Newtown Board of Education for approval, to be followed by a public ballot.[205][206] In October 2013, Newtown residents voted 4,504–558 in favor of the proposed demolition and reconstruction, to be funded by $50 million in state money.[207] Demolition began on October 25, 2013.[208]
After the town clerk's office was inundated with requests from the media,[209] Connecticut House of Representatives Republican Dan Carter introduced legislation that would restrict access to public information available under the Freedom of Information Act.[209]
On June 5, both houses (Senate and House of Representatives) of the Connecticut state legislature passed a bill modifying the state's Freedom of Information Act in order to "prevent the release of crime-scene photos and video evidence from the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and other Connecticut homicides, concerned such records would be spread on the Internet." The bill then went on to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's desk for his signature. The bill creates a new exemption to the state's Freedom of Information Act. The release of photographs, film, video, digital or other visual images depicting a homicide victim is prevented if such records "could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of the victim or the victim's surviving family members."[210]
In March 2014, the Newtown city officials announced the design for the new Sandy Hook Elementary School.[211] The project will have security features, yet still be inviting to teachers and students.[212] Nicknamed "Main Street", the new design includes a curving façade and main hallway intended to resemble outstretched arms that "reach out and embrace the children as they come in". The plan was done by the architecture firm of Svigals + Partners.[211] The only remaining remnant of the original school will be its flagpole.[212]
A few days later, the Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation released results of a survey with over 1,600 respondents. Among other inquiries, the survey asked residents what should be done with balance of the US$11 million in donations that had been made since the incident in 2012.[212] The majority of responses said that money for mental health counseling and other family expenses should be the top priorities. A few responses suggested that some of the money should be used to purchase and tear down the shooter's family home in order to replace it with a park or wildlife sanctuary.[212] Jennifer Barahona, the foundation's executive director, was quoted as saying, "That's not something we're considering at this time. It's really outside of our scope."[212]
Carver, who performed autopsies on seven of the victims, said the wounds he knew about were caused by a "long weapon" and that the rifle was the primary weapon used.

Very prompt responses to my inquiries, which included sending several pictures of the gear I wanted to see. Paul was also quite patient, since I didn't have regular access to a computer. It took a little while to get our deal squared away, but once we did and I got my payment to Paul, he shipped me his racquets with no delay. |

Why Gentiva Health Services (GTIV) Is Up in After-Hours Trading Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gentiva Health Services (GTIV) rose in after-hours trading on Monday after Kindred Healthcare (KND) announced it would issue a cash tender offer on Tuesday to acquire all outstanding shares of Gentiva.
Kindred will offer $14.50 a share in cash for a total equity value of approximately $573 million, though that number balloons to $1.7 billion once Kindred assumes Gentiva's debt.
Gentiva was up 3.93% to $14.54 at 4:37 p.m.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates GENTIVA HEALTH SERVICES INC as a "sell" with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate GENTIVA HEALTH SERVICES INC (GTIV) a SELL. This is driven by a few notable weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The area that we feel has been the company's primary weakness has been its poor profit margins." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- 44.03% is the gross profit margin for GENTIVA HEALTH SERVICES INC which we consider to be strong. Regardless of GTIV's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 0.06% trails the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to -$17.74 million or 13.70% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, GENTIVA HEALTH SERVICES INC's cash flow growth rate is still lower than the industry average growth rate of 37.33%.
- GENTIVA HEALTH SERVICES INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GENTIVA HEALTH SERVICES INC swung to a loss, reporting -$17.87 versus $0.88 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.88 versus -$17.87).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Providers & Services industry. The net income increased by 100.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$207.18 million to $0.31 million.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, and has traded in line with the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, we do not believe this stock offers ample reward opportunity to compensate for the risks, despite the fact that it rose over the past year.

Golan Cipel
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2008) |
Golan Cipel (born 1968 in Tel Aviv, Israel), and grew up in the city of Rishon LeZion.[1]
Cipel served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for five years as a naval officer, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant. Following his service in the Israeli Navy, Cipel held several positions in government. He began his career in 1992 as parliamentary aide in the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, where he was responsible for policy formation, as well as the drafting of legislation. In 1994 he joined the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs as chief information officer at the Consulate General of Israel in New York, where he was responsible for presenting the Israeli government perspective to the American media and public. In 1999, Cipel was appointed the spokesperson for the municipality of Rishon LeZion, Israel.[1]
In 2001, Cipel returned to the United States to work on the New Jersey gubernatorial campaign of Jim McGreevey. Following the election, Cipel was appointed counselor to the governor, advising McGreevey on issues including political strategy, diplomatic affairs and Jewish community relations. He also served as liaison between the states's various security and law enforcement agencies and the governor's office.
Cipel currently works as an independent marketing consultant. He holds a bachelor's and a master degree in communications arts from the New York Institute of Technology.[2]
McGreevey met Cipel while on a junket to Israel in 2000. Cipel was working as a public affairs officer for a municipal government. Cipel later moved to New Jersey in order to provide outreach to the Jewish community on behalf of McGreevey's gubernatorial campaign.
McGreevey eventually appointed Cipel as a counselor to the Governor, a position from which he resigned in August 2002[3] to take a position at the public relations firm MWW.[4]
Cipel's intention to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against McGreevey in Mercer County Court led to McGreevey's decision to resign as governor on August 12, 2004.[5]
Cipel dropped the lawsuit after McGreevey resigned, stating that justice had been served.[2][6]
Cipel's version[edit]
In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz (August 19, 2004), Cipel stated that his situation was intentionally misrepresented by the governor's office and affirmed that he had never actually been responsible for internal security under the governor.[7]
According to Cipel, the press had distorted his history, transforming him from someone who had self-published a book of poetry at age sixteen into a "poet". He claims such distortions supported the story that McGreevey allegedly created and the press eagerly covered.
In his own words, Cipel claims he was one of many victims of McGreevey's sexual harassment, that he had "no romantic affair" with the governor, but rather was taken advantage of.[8] He also describes the former governor's behavior as egotistical, unprofessional, immoral, and immature.

Determined Bee Really Hates This Gold Medal-Wininng Gymnast
Talk about an un-bee-lievable performance.
Talk about an un-bee-lievable performance.
Let's be honest, most of us don't follow gymnastics outside of the Olympics. Well, Lloimincia Hall, an LSU Junior, and Dallas native, could change all that. Watch her routine, this performance landed her three perfect 10's.
These gymnasts are having their ups and downs.
Usually, we only care about the pommel horse when the Summer Olympics roll around and we pretend we're all experts in gymnastics.
Well, this Japanese video is about to change all of that.

Tehching Hsieh
Tehching (Sam) Hsieh (謝德慶; born 31 December 1950; Nanjhou, Pingtung County, Taiwan[1]) is a noted[2] New York City-based performance artist; he has been called a "master" by fellow performance artist Marina Abramović.[3]

Early life[edit]
Tehching Hsieh dropped out from high school and started creating art in the form of paintings; he went on to create several performance pieces after finishing his three years of compulsory military service in Taiwan. In 1974, Hsieh jumped ship to a pier on the Delaware River, near Philadelphia, and made a living as a dishwasher and cleaner during his first four years in New York.[citation needed]
From 1978–1986, Hsieh accomplished five One Year Performances; from 1986–1999, he worked on what he called his "Thirteen-Year Plan". On 1 January 2000, in his report to the public, Tehching Hsieh announced that he has kept himself alive. He stopped making art since then.
In 2008, MIT Press published "Out of Now, The Lifeworks of Tehching Hsieh"[4] by Adrian Heathfield and Tehching Hsieh - a monograph with documentation, essays by academics and artists and an extended conversation with Hsieh.
In 2009, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York exhibited a collection documenting his performance.[5] The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York also showed one of his works in 2009 as part of its retrospective exhibition, "The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia: 1860-1989."
Hsieh is represented by Sean Kelly Gallery.
This section of a biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2009) |
He is most known for six durational performance pieces completed between 1978 and 2000.
One Year Performance 1978–1979 (Cage Piece)[edit]
In this performance, which lasted from 29 September 1978 through 30 September 1979, the artist locked himself in an 11.5-by-9-by-8-foot (3.5 by 2.7 by 2.4 m) wooden cage, furnished only with a wash basin, lights, a pail, and a single bed. During the year, he was not allowed to talk, to read, to write, or to listen to radio and TV. A lawyer, Robert Projansky, notarized the entire process and made sure the artist never left the cage during that one year. A friend came daily to deliver food, remove the artist's waste, and take a single photograph to document the project. In addition, this performance was open to be viewed once or twice a month from 11am to 5pm.[6]
One Year Performance 1980–1981 (Time Clock Piece)[edit]
For one year, from 11 April 1980 through 11 April 1981, Hsieh punched a time clock every hour on the hour. Each time he punched the clock, he took a single picture of himself, which together yield a 6 minute movie. He shaved his head before the piece, so his growing hair reflects the passage of time.[7]
Documentation of this piece was exhibited at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 2009, using film, punch cards and photographs.
This work was the first of Hsieh's ever to be displayed in the UK at the Liverpool Biennial in 2010.[7]
One Year Performance 1981–1982 (Outdoor Piece)[edit]
In his third one year performance piece, from 26 September 1981 through 26 September 1982, Hsieh spent one year outside, not entering buildings or shelter of any sort, including cars, trains, airplanes, boats, or tents. He moved around New York City with a packbag and a sleeping bag.
Art / Life: One Year Performance 1983-1984 (Rope Piece)[edit]
In this performance, Hsieh and Linda Montano spent one year between 4 July 1983 and 4 July 1984 tied to each other with an 8-foot-long (2.4 m) rope. They had to stay in a same room while not allowed to touch each other until the end of the one year period.[8] Both of them shaved their hair in the beginning of the year, and the performance was notarized initially by Paul Grassfield and later by Pauline Oliveros.
One Year Performance 1985–1986 (No Art Piece)[edit]
For one year, Hsieh did no art, spoke no art, saw no art, read no art, and did not enter any museum or gallery.
Tehching Hsieh 1986–1999 (Thirteen Year Plan)[edit]
At the beginning of this epic piece, Hsieh declared, "Will make Art during this time. Will not show it publicly." This plan began on his 36th birthday, 31 December 1986, and lasted until his 49th birthday, 31 December 1999.
At the end, on 1 January 2000 he issued his concluding report, "I kept myself alive. I passed the December 31st, 1999." The report consisted of cutout letters pasted onto a single sheet of paper.
His pieces are not feats of stamina nor (consciously at least) motivated by a desire to suffer (though they have been described as ordeals[9]), but rather are explorations of time and of struggle.
According to critic Steve Shaviro, Hsieh's work can be seen as being about imprisonment, solitude, work, time, homelessness, exposure, marriage/human relations, and the way in which art and life are related.[9] Hsieh states his work is about "wasting time and freethinking".[4]
