While the Office of Personnel Management has been the agency in charge of the USAJobs website debacle, it turns out that Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel has been leading an IT fix-it team behind the scenes.
VanRoekel formed an "IT SWAT Team" of experts from multiple federal departments, which has been evaluating USAJobs and helping to diagnose site operation problems and find solutions in recent days, John Berry, OPM director, disclosed at a congressional hearing on Nov. 15.
The SWAT team "conducted a preliminary analysis of the situation with USAJOBS 3.0, evaluated the operational landscape, and prepared a short and long term roadmap to resolving any issues with the system," Berry told the House Oversight Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and Federal Labor Policy.

USAJobs on verge of becoming a political issue
The "Office of Management and Budget has been our partner and advisor on USAJOBS 3.0 along the way, and I am fully committed to working with this SWAT team and look forward to reviewing and implementing its recommendations," Berry said in his testimony.
VanRoekel's and OMB's involvement had not been discussed publicly until now, despite a public request from a senator urging VanRoekel to get involved. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., made the request on Oct. 27 asking VanRoekel to step in to resolve the ongoing USAJobs crisis.
OPM launched the 3.0 version of USAJobs on Oct. 11 on its own servers for the first time, after an 18-month development effort. Previously it had been hosted by Monster.com under a contract.
Users immediately began experiencing problems, and about 40,000 Help Desk requests were submitted in the first three weeks of operation. Since the launch, OPM officials have been addressing the operating problems, and on Nov. 3 OPM officials declared that new user complaints were trending downward.
Berry and OPM got a mixed review from the House subcommittee on their handling of the USAJobs 3.0 launch.
Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., who chairs the subcommittee, said the botched website calls into question OPM's ability to develop and operate complex IT systems.
"The launch of USAJOBS 3.0 has left many jobseekers frustrated, a sentiment at odds with OPM's promise of doing it as well or better than the private sector company that the department took it over from," Ross said.
"Since taking over the online employment site, OPM has increased its fee to federal agencies using the site for employment postings. Technical problems continue to plague the website. In other words, taxpayers are now paying for a system that doesn't work, costs more and takes business away from the private sector. This raises questions about OPM's decision to craft an in-house system given its poor history of information systems development," Ross added.
On the other hand, Pasquale Tamburino Jr., deputy assistant secretary of defense for civilian personnel policy at the Defense Department, testified that USAJobs, while initially balky, has been performing adequately in recent days.
Under the new system, DOD posted 6,500 new job announcements and received and processed more than 150,000 applications as of Nov. 3, Tamburino said.
"These statistics indicate to me we have not been hampered in our hiring efforts by the deployment of USAJOBS 3.0," Tamburino said. "These numbers tell me that while we experienced some challenges at the start, DOD, in partnership with OPM, has confronted those challenges head-on, dealt with them quickly and effectively, and we are no longer experiencing significant system problems in DOD."
Top hiring officials at Defense and other agencies, as members of the Chief Human Capital Officers Council, unanimously had approved the decision for OPM to insource USAJobs two years ago. Supporters of the decision said it wouldj ensure federal protection of sensitive applicant information contained in USAJobs rather than have it commingled in a commercially-operated website.

USA JOBS sucks. I have applied to over 30 jobs and half always get cancelled or "they haven't started to hire in your area" yet. Veterans preference? I think not!
So, the announcement for the position I am currently occupying (in fact, rather than on paper)was approved in August. It has yet to be posted on USAJobs. Because of some funkiness with VRA hiring (still researching how a local CPAC can override U.S. Code on that one), I have not been direct-hired. So, the question arises, now that it's almost December and our servicing CPAC says the problem lies with USAJobs: when will the position be announced? How are we supposed to run a Directorate without the staff that we require? Should I just give up and go home (6000 miles)?
I am a new user of USjobs website and I have attempted several times to apply a position advertised on it with no success. Main problem, I was unable to access to it or if I do when I begin filling the forms at the middle of no where every thing disappears from the screen and no way to recover it. But my main concern to day is the UN and the international NGOs which I tried alot but never had any success and I have seen alot of very qualified Americans who are having the same problems I have been having it for a very long time. Both the UN and International NGOS just don't hire Americans for international positions but if they do, not alot. I have seen International NGOs hiring their nationals first. what is wrong with ours doing the same and when I say this, I have in mind like USAID who subcontracts other NGOs who never hires Americans.
I am very serious. As a government employee, I have no choice but to use USAJOBS to obtain a different position within my own organisation or even a different position on my own team. There have been times when I had to call HR to get the direct link because it would not show up on monster. And it could take longer than a position is open to get a simple password reset. When I was consulting in the private sector, monster was pretty useless to folks looking for their next gig. Pretty much every other job board was better. Again, I am thankful that USAJOBS was taken in-house.
Simply put: Job Security!

This post is part of a series, click here to start with the introduction.The grapevine raged and the news was spreading fast. Random people who hadn't been in touch over the last 7 years suddenly sent us long involved email lectures on how wrong we were, and how much they cared about us, and how could we do this to people who cared about us? At first we tried to respond to them, answering their questions, and explaining as best we could. But when it became clear that most of them had no actual interest in our experience, but just wanted to be a spokesperson for their idea of god, we got better at discerning which confrontations to engage with.We heard that Haley's parents had told the … [Read more...]

We had taken the baby steps, we had come out to ourselves and each other, that was huge, and then we had confided in a select few who we knew to be compassionate and supportive, but the next step was a whole different game.We knew our parents and most of the rest of our family and friends would not understand or be accepting, much less supportive.

Once upon a time there were two girls. One was very sad most of the time, she kept her head down and did what she was told, because she could not imagine ever being strong enough to do anything different. She hardly knew what it meant to dream, to have goals and ambitions, because her life was already mapped out for her by others, she just had to follow the rules and be the person she was supposed to be.The other girl was very afraid, she had been told her whole life that she was a boy, but secretly she knew she was a girl; she also knew that she could never ever breathe a word about it to anyone, because being a girl born with a boy's body was wrong and impossible in the world she lived … [Read more...]
Gender Transition: Two Years Later
A guest post written by my wife HaleyLast week marked the two year anniversary of when I started hormone replacement therapy for transitioning my physical body to female. My transition didn't start with hormones, due to challenges and an involved process to get access to hormones, many other transition milestones had already happened before that day. I was already full time and out to the world as transgender in March 2012. I had changed my name legally the previous October.Yet these two years have gone by so quickly. When I started hormones, I was a beauty school student. Most of my former social circle had recently disappeared in the wake of having come out. I had moved to a brand … [Read more...]

AAA says price of gas coming down; drops 50 cents since May
Unlike the last time a major holiday weekend came around, gas prices are falling in North Dakota.
After witnessing all-time high prices at the pump leading up to Memorial Day weekend last month, motorists are breathing a sigh of relief as we head into next week's long Fourth of July weekend as prices have dropped by more than 50 cents per gallon in some places off highs seen in May.

I bought way too many leeks! Can I prep them (wash, slice and dry) and freeze them? How long can they last in the freezer if I am able to?
Although I'm not sure about shelf life, I do know you can prep them and freeze them. I would add the step of quickly blanching them to the wash, slice, dry line up though.
Leeks keep extraordinarily well. We pluck them all winter out of a box in a freezing cold shed. If you have room in your refrigerator, they will likewise keep perfectly well for a long long time. If the outer leaves get limp or brown, simply pull them away to expose the fresh leek beneath. Why bother with the hassle of freezing them?

Please tell me this isn't a majestic
I just brought a palm home and was really excited until I read how horrible Majestic palms are as house plants. I'm hoping it was labeled wrong? Otherwise I might have to take it back...say it isn't so!
It is a majesty palm, but it should do okay indoors. Just mist it every so often and keep it from getting too moist or dry. It should be okay especially since winter is about halfway over. I dont know what the weather is like where you live, but you can take it outside when temperatures will be above freezing at night and you can leave it outside all summer. Just make sure you re-pot it before you keep it outside because they will dry out quickly in those nursery pots.
Good luck!
its a majesty but take good care and it will surprise you these grow fast in the summer.
I have two a big single trunk one and a small triple trunk. They do best as a single trunk so i suggest cutting down all of the trunks except the biggest one
Yes, Majesty definitely. Put it in the window with the most sun and not near a vent. Don't overwater and lots of mist and it should be fine. I agree with a previous post about singles. I would separate them or get rid of the others and keep one. Whether you keep them all together or separate them down to one, you need to repot it immediately. Much like everything else that comes from a garden centre, the pot it came in is a temporary one. It is just big enough to keep it going until it's sold. Majesties have mega roots so you need a pot atleast twice that size. If you repot and follow the care advice, it will be fine.

At Sandy Hook Memorial, Obama Showcases the Magical Thinking of Gun Controllers
Finally, a president who has the guts to come out against the murder of children. Not only that, but he is prepared to confront those who, for murky but clearly frivolous reasons, tolerate violence, oppose tragedy prevention, and shrink from saving innocent lives. Because "politics" cannot be allowed to obstruct the solutions that every decent, right-thinking person favors.

Britney's Collapse Not Really All That Dramatic?
Britney's Collapse Not Really All That Dramatic?
We reported earlier that Britney collapsed at PURE where she was hosting a NYE party. Now reports are that the popstar was just asleep. Talk about damage control. Thanks to Trent for uploading his Britney viewing experience from earlier in the evening prior to her passing out. The question is, did she simply pass out since she was tired or did she really collapse? Here's more:
"By about one o'clock, she was just done, so we took her out," Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, told The Associated Press Monday. "She was not drunk. She was just tired and falling asleep."
Rudolph denied reports circulating on gossip Web sites that Spears, 25, collapsed shortly after midnight and was carried out by bodyguards. The star was hired to host the festivities at Ceasars Palace's PURE nightclub.
Rudolph said Spears walked out of the club and did not seek medical attention.
"There is nothing out of the ordinary here," he said.
We are glad to hear she is okay. We hope the tired mom got her well needed beauty sleep and let's hope she kicks off the rest of the year in the right direction.

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
you saved the position of the parked car? you've got the actual position of the person? so, then you should be able to calculate the difference and get at least the distance (at least of the line in sight)...
If you have the position of USER and parked car...
then this should work
Use this function which calculates the real distance:
and use it like this:

When brick & mortar store owners expand to new locations, it's a very slow and tedious process. They often lack the information to know where to expand next, and spend months scouting areas to scavenge for data. We are a one-stop solution where owners can go to compare data about various locations and identify the best one, down to the street corner.
Here are some of the data we are able to provide:
The three founders for StreamLine are Peter Hu, Yeskendir Kassenov, and Joe Lee, three graduates of Stanford University who are excited to stir up the offline brick & mortar world. They all studied computer science in college, and have experiences in computational research, tech startups, and large scale software industries.

I used Avery printable magnet sheets from Amazon (looks like model# is 3270) on my package, and these did not stick well at all on my door on the Magic. It was so disappointing to have made 9 sheets worth of magnets and find that they wouldn't stay on the door.
I'd specifically read reports on these boards that they did work on the Magic, but my door appeared to have been painted on the outside and was textured and had several paint layers and the magnets didn't stick well at all. They did stick OK on the inside of the door which was smoother. They also stick just fine to my frig.
This doesn't help labdogs42, but based on what I saw that worked well on doors, and also on reports I read that the Wonder had re-painted doors and these didn't stick there, I'll be printing on photo paper and cutting out & applying stronger magnet strips that peel and stick for my future cruises on the Wonder.
Oddly enough, after having the magnets on the inside of the door for a few days, I was eventually able to move some of them to the outside where they stayed for a while before started to peel back and slide off. Can't explain why that was - perhaps there's some scientific explanation! I had them up on my frig for a few weeks, and then stored them flat stacked flat for about 2 weeks before the cruise before finding that they didn't stick on cabin 7620 door on the Magic in early March.
I found it in Millie's photo bucket... Don't know how I missed it the first time.
We are on the Dream. I wonder if the doors have a thinner coat of paint? Maybe I will bring a roll of extra magnets in case my magnet sheets don't work. Thanks for the head's up!
I had terrible luck with the Avery Magnets on the Wonder. Fortunately I had only bought one package and used them only for the ear magnets that went over the stateroom number. They stuck fine for about 2 days but then started falling off. I finally had to remove them as every time we would return to the room they would be on the ground. Oh well, live and learn. Next time I will take a magnet roll for repairs
Hi everyone, can someone please tell me the password for Millie's photo bucket page? My iPad app for DIS does not let me view signatures as part of the display! That's!
DISfriends is the password
Hmmmm....I went in 2011 and my magnets were fine and i also used Avery magnet sheets (matte and came in a pack of 3). Did you put something over it?? When I printed mine out, I put laminate sheet on top before I cut them out. I am going to use the same magnets (well most of them) and also printing new ones for my June Fantasy cruise and hope it stays on the door! But I'll also have magnetic strips handy just in case....does anyone know if we can bring a pair of scissor on board???
I took scissors on the Wonder. It was a small pair of child type scissors and they did not take them away. I am trying to remember but I think they were in my carry on with my magnets.
Can we have a sign with:
Donovan and Whiteley family road trip from Disney's Vero Beach to Walt Disney World
any images or design good with us
You will probably get a faster response for this request if you post it over on the Creative Disigns board.
On Feb on the wonder, we had some magnets back from our first cruise (Dream) plus a couple of new ones. Most of the original ones I got at a craft store (can't find the brand now), and then picked up Avery Matte at WalMart. It was last minute and didn't notice they were Matte. And then last minute before the last trip I thought I was out of paper and bought another set (which of course later found).
Anyway, on the Dream they worked great. But on the Wonder, I did notice they barely held. You touched them a bit and they easily moved. Basically too many coats of paint.
We'll have to see what happens when they do the dry dock on the Magic. But I doubt they'll remove the old paint, so looking forward not sure what we'll have to do for this.
We don't sail on our first cruise ever till May 19th and I've already made about 6 magnets. Here's my favorite so far. I scanned the port hole graphic from the front of the DCL brochure and then inset a photo of a stateroom, and inserted the Disney characters. My goal was for when its stuck to the cabin door it looks like a window in the door revealing the Disney characters inside the room. The actual magnet printed out is 8 by 8 inches.
When I finish the others, I'll post them here too. So excited!
Luv it!!
Very Cute Porthole! Nice job! Beware, as designing becomes very addicting
Thanks for all you work. Amy and I couldn't hold out (ok, it more I couldn't) and are heading to the May Magic cruise. Of course since I got to cover the door I started going through your stuff and found that you already had what we needed -

Submit Your Hardware Compatibility Information
The PC-BSD team will be launching a new webstore designed to take the hassle out of knowing which hardware works well with PC-BSD. A wiki page has been created where users can add the models of the motherboards, video cards, network cards, wifi cards, and laptops they have found to work great with PC-BSD. When adding to the wiki, only add hardware that you have verified works as-is with no problem.
To add to the hardware list, create a wiki account so that you can login and edit the page. Since this list will get rather large, please add your entry alphabetically.
Call for Testers: GEM/KMS Snapshot
A testing snapshot that integrates the new DRM/GEM/KMS work is now available to testers.
DANGER: this snapshot should be considered alpha quality and for testing purposes only!
This snapshot is meant to provide testers the opportunity to provide feedback regarding Intel, ATI and NVIDIA video cards which currently are not fully supported using the existing FreeBSD Xorg drivers. Please report any issues you find to the FreeBSD X11 mailing list so that the FreeBSDD Xorg porting team can address them.
As an added bonus, this snapshot contains the shiny new 9.1 installer. Feedback on the installer should be sent to the PC-BSD testing mailing list. Currently, the new installer is totally undocumented, but that should change over the next few weeks.
New PCBSD Hardware at ISC
ISC hosts portions of the PC-BSD infrastructure. Due to increased growth in the number of users using PC-BSD, the old infrastructure at ISC has been completely replaced. This should result in faster download times and updates for PC-BSD users.
For those of you interested in the technical details, the frontend box is a 6 core Xeon 5647 running at 2.93ghz, with an additional open CPU socket. This box has 48GB of RAM, and is running FreeBSD 9.0-RC3 on a pair of 1TB SATA disks in a ZFS mirror. This box provides trac/svn/rsync/ftp services to the outside world, and also runs an internal PostgresQL server for trac.
The backend box is a TrueNAS storage server connected via redundant point to point 10gigE to the front end box. NFS exports a RAIDZ of 4 2TB SATA drives with SSD L2ARC. This box a has a single quad core Westmere, with an empty CPU socket in case expansion is needed, running at 2.4ghz and 48GB of RAM.
Both machines have redundant hot swap power, hot swap drives, as well as LOM (lights out management) provided via dedicated IPMI.
The old hardware is being donated to ISC.
270.41.06 (5–5-2011)">Driver Update: Nvidia 270.41.06 (5–5-2011)
The latest NVIDIA driver is now available as an update in Software Manager. If you're using NVIDIA, apply the update and reboot. When the bootup starts, select option7 — run display setup wizard at the boot-splash screen, and you will then be able to select the new driver. If you're not using NVIDIA, you can right-click the update in Software Manager and select "Ignore this update" so that you won't be notified again of this update.
This driver fixes several bugs and adds support for more GPUs. Details are at the NVIDIA website.
Looking for CPULimit Testers
LimitCPU is a Linux program to throttle the CPU cycles used by other applications. LimitCPU will monitor a process and make sure its CPU usage stays at or below a given percentage. This can be used to make sure your system has plenty of CPU cycles available for other tasks. It can also be used to keep laptops cool in the face of CPU-hungry processes and for limiting virtual machines. It is based on an earlier project known as CPUlimit.
Jesse Smith is working to make CPUlimit more compatible with FreeBSD and PC-BSD. He has committed a FreeBSD port (sysutils/cpulimit) and would like to fine-tune it a bit and gather more feedback from BSD users as some of the code which is used to check the CPU cycles is Linux specific. He wants to make sure that the port properly detects and throttles CPU usage on a wide variety of systems.
If you have time to test the port, please send your feedback to Jesse at the email address listed here.

Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office
At least three senior women have been targeted for purse theft at Walmart in just over a month.
On Monday, a Santee woman was shopping at the North Road store around noon when she realized her purse was missing.
The victim said she had multiple personal belongings inside the purse, including credit and insurance cards. She said she didn't see anyone around her at the time her purse went missing but added she wasn't paying close attention.
Walmart loss and prevention employees told deputies that a male and a female were seen on surveillance video near the woman.
The purse theft is the third in a month, including last week's report of a team of purse thieves.
A woman said she was on the coffee aisle Thursday when a male and female walked over. When she turned around a moment later, her purse was gone as well as the man.
She asked the woman who came in with the man who he was. The woman said she didn't know what the victim was talking about. However, that woman ran off.
Video surveillance captured the incident, showing the sequence of events just as the 78-year-old woman described.
Deputies pulled pictures of the black male who was wearing jeans and a white hooded sweatshirt.
The victim's home and car keys and jewelry were in the purse at the time it was taken. That victim was left without a means to start her vehicle or get into her home.
On Dec. 6, a Bamberg County woman had her purse stolen at the store. The 71-year-old said she had left it in her cart as she shopped. The purse contained four credit cards in addition to her car keys and driver's license.
If anyone has any information on the thefts, they are asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 803-534-3550 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
In a separate string of incidents, thieves were breaking into cars at local hotels on Citadel Road.
Three out-of-state families on Monday reported more than $8,000 worth of items taken from their vehicles.
The first call from the interstate hotels came around 2 a.m. from an Ohio woman staying at the Fairfield Inn. She showed deputies her Mitsubishi, which had a smashed window. She said an air mattress and a comforter set were missing.
About three hours later, a New York couple at Comfort Inn and Suites reported their vehicle's window smashed out, causing an estimated $800 in damage. A Bose radio and a Toshiba laptop, together worth about $1,100, were missing as well as the couple's prescription medications.
Deputies then met with an Ontario couple also at Comfort Inn. They were missing nearly $7,300 worth of jewelry, electronics and clothing.
The couple said they discovered the window smashed out of their minivan around 5:30 a.m. A black Coach-brand bag that had an estimated $5,000 in jewelry was missing. Three suitcases of clothing, DVDs, and their daughter's Canadian passport were also taken.
Authorities are looking for a late 1990s white Honda Civic with tinted windows. The vehicle and two black males wearing dark clothing were captured on video at one of the hotels.
If anyone has any information on the Honda or the two thieves, they are asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
Orangeburg Department of Public Safety
An Orangeburg man's overly dramatic response to his brother's arrest landed him in jail as well, according to a police incident report.
Police were investigating a case on Wilson Street early Friday when they encountered a man wanted by the S.C. Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services.
As the officers attempted to arrest the one man, his brother grabbed him. The brother said "he had already been taken away from him for 2 1/2 years" and that he didn't want to miss another day without him, according to a report.
Police told the brother to step back. For a few seconds, he did. But then he jumped forward again and tried to grab the handcuffs being placed on his brother, the report said.
After being warned several more times, the 20-year-old brother was charged with interfering with a police officer.

How to avoid the spam police when moving to a new e-mail service provider or IP address.
It's inevitable: at some point, you'll switch to a new e-mail service provider (ESP) or add a new IP address (define). These changes often have a major impact on your deliverability. Once upon a time, switching was easy and painless, but in today's delivery environment it can be quite challenging to get off to a good start.
Today, you must bring your new IP address up to speed slowly, rather than sending full throttle right away. If you switch providers, your new ESP likely will warn you about this, but it applies even if you are adding a new IP to your mail stream, such as for sending transactional messages, new Web sites, or e-mail programs.
Spammers usually leap to a new IP address when they get blocked from an old one, then blast out e-mail right away. ISPs get suspicious when they see e-mail volumes spike from unknown IP addresses, so they block first based on sudden volume spikes and ask questions later. This procedure is called throttling.
If you add an IP address to your mail stream, say, for increasing segmentation or volume, your good reputation on your existing IP address won't automatically transfer to your new one. On the other hand, if you start over after polluting a previous IP address, your bad rep can follow you. That's why you need to take care with your new one.
Today's approach is to begin slowly, sending a limited number of messages to small subsets of the best addresses on your mailing list. As you begin to build your reputation, you can start building your volume, but always while keeping an eye on your deliverability reports and spam-complaint rates.
You should be able to warm up your good reputation in about seven days. Depending on your total message volume, it could take a little longer to reach full capacity.
Organizing Your IP Warm-Up Plan
Your Post-Warm-Up Game Plan
Don't let your new IP address go cold again. Once you complete the warm-up campaign, begin transitioning older, less-active recipients and begin mailing from your regular calendar. Continue to move these addresses over slowly and to build your sending volume over time.
How long can this transition take? That depends on your list size and the delivery metrics you generate. Watch bounce logs, looking particularly at the big three domains -- AOL, Hotmail, and Yahoo -- and watch for temporary blocking errors due to throttling.
You should be able to maintain consistent high inbox delivery for all messages as you increase volume. If delivery numbers start to slide, slow down the volume again or hold steady for a campaign or two until the numbers begin to improve, then increase volume again.
The warm-up process requires hard work, careful segmentation, good list quality, and, above all, patience. But the reward is clear: high inbox delivery and a great sender reputation, which will ensure future inbox delivery for a long time.
Until next time, keep on deliverin'!

Susan's getting a granddaughter! Eva Amurri is expecting a baby girl this summer. Susan Sarandon's actress daughter announced the news via Twitter on March 6.
PHOTOS: 100+ stars without makeup!
"Who run the world? GIRLS! #BabyGirlMartino," Amurri, 28, wrote in an homage to Beyonce's 2011 smash. Alongside the caption, the mother-to-be also shared a sweet photo of her red heels next to matching baby flats on her WhoSay account.
"Found out our child will never be on the @ussoccer team," Amurri's husband, Kyle Martino, added. "But may be on the @ussoccer_wnt. #ItsAGirl!!!"
PHOTOS: Best wedding hair styles
Us first confirmed on Feb. 14 that the "Mindy Project" guest star -- daughter to Sarandon and Italian director Franco Amurri -- and the soccer commentator, 32, are expecting their first child. "Having a family has always been a priority for us both and we couldn't be happier!" the couple said in a statement to Us.
Amurri debuted her small baby bump at the Vanity Fair Campaign Hollywood in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Feb. 27. She wore a chic knee-length dress and cradled her belly.

Fight leads to arrest of four locals
An argument between four females escalated and brought law enforcement to a local business Monday morning.
Shortly before 11 a.m., Tunica Police Department and the Tunica County Sheriff's Department responded to a call at the Texaco Station on Main Street. Police chief Richard Veazey said the incident involved four women.
Witnesses said the women exchanged words outside the convenience store and then began fighting. A large knife was used in the altercation, but no serious injuries resulted. All received medical attention at the scene for minor injuries.

Since that time, Israel and Palestine have gone through a war and tensions have been higher than they have in a long time. I told an Israeli friend of mine, I wish I could come back without worrying about terrorist attacks. The sad truth is, I can't. It's a risk I'm taking to be back in this country where I felt ...
