Law enforcement sources told TMZ police had received report of an assault that took place Friday afternoon.
Police stopped Knight while he was driving in his vehicle because the description of the suspect matched the music producer's appearance. Upon pulling him over, police jumped out of the cruisers and drew their weapons before realizing it was a case of mistaken identity.
Knight agreed to go to the police station to explain his innocence before he was released. Police believe the assault report may have been a hoax.
Sources told TMZ Knight is considering filing a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department.

University Theatre Center Erica Starr Theatre UTC Box Office: (936) 294-1339 Tickets: $12/$10
ENRON is a theatrical and explosive tale of the collapse of a company; inspired by real events, but told as a sprawling, dynamic tragedy. Lucy Prebble's play was summarized by Variety, "?watching the corporate crime that defined the end of the twentieth century isn't just instructive, it's a gloriously guilty pleasure ?a cross between an insightful analysis and a savage satire of high capitalism as moral vacuum."

Most civil trials do not involve a jury, but instead are presented to a judge, which is called a "bench trial" or "court trial." If you want a jury trial, you must request a jury and pay a jury fee to the Court in advance of the trial. See MN Statute § 357.021.
Not every civil case can have a jury trial. Rule 38.01 of the MN Rules of Civil Procedure says that there is a right to a jury trial, unless waived, "in actions for the recovery of money only, or of specific real or personal property."
Presenting a civil case to a jury involves many complicated steps, including choosing the members of the jury and providing the court with proposed jury instructions at the end of the trial. If you want to have your case presented to a jury, we strongly encourage you to get help from a lawyer.
Usually, the Plaintiff presents her side of a civil case first, and when the Plaintiff "rests" (finishes presenting her case), the Defendant then has an opportunity to present his side of the case. The common stages of a civil jury trial are listed below.
Choosing a Jury
Except in cases tried before a judge, one of the first steps in a civil trial is selection of a jury.
The judge and the parties (through their attorneys, if they have them) will question a group of potential jurors. The goal of the questions is to try to understand a juror's beliefs or experiences that might relate to the case.
The judge can excuse (dismiss) potential jurors based on their answers to the questions. The Plaintiff and Defendant can also exclude a certain number of potential jurors.
In civil actions, there are usually 6 people on a jury, up to a maximum of 12.
Opening Statements
When the trial starts, the Plaintiff's attorney (or the Plaintiff if she has no lawyer) usually is the first to give an opening statement. She tells the judge or the jury a summary of the facts of the case, and what she intends to prove during the trial.
The Defendant can give her opening statement right after the Plaintiff, or she can wait until the Plaintiff has finished presenting her evidence. The Defendant's opening statement tells the jury her version of the facts, and sets the stage for responding to Plaintiff's evidence. The Defendant will also present "affirmative defenses," if any exist, to the Plaintiff's claims.
Witness Testimony &Cross-Exam
This is the main part of a civil trial, where each party presents key evidence (sometimes called the "case-in-chief").
The Plaintiff usually presents her case-in-chief first; she may call witnesses and experts to testify, and introduce physical evidence (like photographs, documents, or medical reports).
The presentation of witness testimony usually follows this pattern:
After the Plaintiff finishes presenting her case-in-chief (after she "rests"), the Defendant presents her evidence in her case-in-chief.
Once the Defendant has rested, the Plaintiff will have a chance to respond to the Defendant's arguments through "rebuttal," a time when she can contradict the Defendant's evidence.
Throughout the trial, either party may object the questions asked of the witnesses, the answers given, or other evidence being offered.
Closing Arguments
In their Closing arguments, the parties "sum up" their cases. Both parties try to convince the jury that the evidence supports a decision in their favor.
Legal Briefs &Proposed Orders
The judge may require or allow the Plaintiff and Defendant to file written legal briefs arguing and applying the law to the facts of the case. The judge may also require one or both parties to file a proposed Order, which the judge may sign or amend and sign. Briefs and proposed Orders are challenging for a non-lawyer to prepare, but it may be possible to get samples and help with legal research from a law librarian.
Jury Instructions
After the closing arguments, the judge will give the jury a set of legal standards, called "jury instructions," explaining the criteria needed to decide which side should "win." The judge may require the parties to submit proposed jury instructions to the court.
Jury Deliberation & Verdict
After receiving the judge's instructions, the group of jurors "deliberates." This means they discuss the case to see if they can agree on whether the Defendant should be held liable based on the Plaintiff's claims. If they answer "yes," they also deliberate on what compensation, if any, the Defendant should pay to Plaintiff.
If the Defendant has made any counter-claims against the Plaintiff, the jury also deliberates on whether the Plaintiff should be held liable for Defendant's counter-claims.
Once the jury reaches a decision, the jury foreperson informs the judge, and the judge calls the parties back to the courtroom where the verdict is announced in open court.
The party who loses a case might be ordered to pay money to the prevailing party (the party who wins). See MN Statute § 549.02.
If the losing party is ordered to pay money to the prevailing party, it is the responsibility of the winning party to collect the money. The court does NOT do the collection for the party. If the losing party does not cooperate and pay voluntarily, collecting the money can be difficult. For more information on the collection process, see the Judgments section on this website.

of the world's coral reefs are currently threatened by natural and man-made stresses.
Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Dec. 10, 2013
And when an aquatic environment first shows signs of stress, they're seen in the dwindling numbers of fish and other organisms found in its coral reefs. That's why the work of Dr. Michael Berumen and his team is so critical. Berumen, a marine biologist and professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, goes on diving expeditions around the world to collect data on reefs and their wildlife. Information as simple as the number of fish on a reef can tell a deeper story about the health of an ocean. And can help efforts to preserve it.
Despite their best efforts, Berumen and his crew were limited by their tools. They brought slates, waterproof paper, and regular pencils to record findings — counting thousands of fish by making hash marks and scribblings on the paper. Later, they had to enter all this information into a computer manually — a process that wasn't just incredibly time consuming, it was also rife with errors.
"We had to input the data right away, before we forgot what we wrote," explains Berumen, "and often we couldn't even read our own handwriting. We spent more time inputting data than we did diving. After yet another trip where I spent dozens of hours transcribing notes, I thought, this is crazy." Since Berumen relied so much on his iPad, he decided to figure out a way to use it in his underwater work.
Berumen and his team developed the iDive housing to take iPad deep underwater.* The housing is constructed of rubber, various types of polycarbonate, and die-cast metals. At the depths where Berumen and his team often do their research, around five atmospheres of pressure can weigh on the device. The iDive case functions similarly to a scuba regulator valve, automatically adding or releasing gas to adjust internal pressure. This allows features of the iPad — including the Multi-Touch screen, the camera, and even Bluetooth connectivity — to work deep in the ocean.
The team also developed an app that transformed the way they collect data. Now they preload a screen with pictures of different fish species — and count them by tapping the photos, instead of scribbling markings on paper. When cataloging as many as 100 species on a given dive, it makes a huge difference in simplifying their data collection. If they encounter a new species, they can use the iPad camera to snap a shot. And once they're back on dry land, the scientists transfer all the data in seconds. Precious time is saved. And the information they collect is much more accurate.
Here are a few species they may encounter in the Red Sea:
A dwindling fish population can show that a region is facing environmental stress, while new species can indicate a reef's growth. The data Berumen and his team collect using iPad provide crucial information and direction to preserve oceans around the world.
And Berumen can only imagine the possibilities now that people can use iPad underwater. "We envisioned some great uses for iDive, but there will be countless others," he says. Safety will be enhanced as divers use iPad to communicate with other divers or the boat. Commercial divers can enjoy a movie or a book while waiting on a decompression stop. Future apps might help hone diving skills, or allow for "citizen science," where anyone can count species and contribute their data to science. "Or maybe someone will just go underwater to document their honeymoon," says Berumen. "There will be endless uses for iPad underwater, for everything from safety, to research, to communication, to people just having a good time."

Mint. Chocolate. Chip. Hands down! Yum!
4. What do you do with your money? (spend it, save it, invest it, bury it, etc)
Unfortunately... spend it... :/
5. What was the last quote or statement you heard that really hit you?
At church this past Sunday a girl said (quoting someone else, but I can't remember who):
Sing... loudly. And poorly I might add.
7. Did you watch the premier of Bachelorette? If so, who was your favorite bachelor?
Absolutely! I'm a faithful Bachelor/ Bachelorette watcher! My favorites were:
uuuuum... Those are the only two I remember "liking". The others I'm either still not sure about, can't remember enough about them, OR I absolutely did not like. :/ Mean?

Terry Hamilton says his mind had become so clouded by alcohol that he'd forgotten what kind of work he could do.
Hamilton, of Greensboro, got help from Residential Treatment Services of Alamance, a local agency that helps people recover from substance abuse problems.
After things cleared up and Hamilton got some recovery time under his belt, he went to work.
Residential Treatment Services Director Ron Osborne found a photo of a sign that simply read "Hope" on the Internet. He showed it to Hamilton and Hamilton got to work.
The first sign took more than 15 hours to complete. After that, the other signs took closer to 10 hours. The Hope signs stand outside Residential Treatment Services treatment facilities in Burlington and in the front window of Trollinger's Treasures, a thrift store the agency runs on Trollinger Avenue in Burlington.
"I feel like it's a drop in the bucket compared to what RTS has done for me," Hamilton said.
Each year, Times-News readers support Residential Treatment Services' mission of recovery through the Love Enough to Share fundraising campaign.
Residential Treatment Services' Santa's Helper program, which provides Christmas gifts for clients living at one of its facilities during the holidays, is one of six charities supported by Love Enough to Share.
The other five are the National Alliance on Mental Illness Operation Santa Claus campaign, Christmas Cheer, The Salvation Army Shoes with Love campaign, the Arc of Alamance County's ArChristmas Fund and the Foster Children's Christmas Fund.
The Love Enough to Share campaign will continue through the end of the year, so it's not too late to make a contribution to one of these great causes.
This year's goal is $50,000. Every penny goes directly to the charities.
To participate in Love Enough to Share, look for the coupon with stories that will appear in the Times-News through the holidays.
Fill out the form and return it to the Times-News, Attn: Love Enough to Share, P.O. Box 481, Burlington, N.C. 27216. Contributions can also be dropped off at the newspaper office at 707 S. Main St.
Checks should be made out to the individual charities. The Times-News will send a complimentary card to honorees or, in the case of memorial contributions, to the family. Contributors will also be recognized in the newspaper, unless they request anonymity.

Meaghan Hallberg (left) and Sidney Gillespie laugh with Alisia Decoteau during lunch at Presidents Elementary School in Arlington on Tuesday afternoon. The school is one of a growing number that participates in the Fresh Food in Schools Project.
"Last year we didn't have all this," said fifth-grader Owen LaSalata, 10, working his way through the salad bar. "I like all the fresh choices. My favorites are mandarin oranges, mixed salad and pinto beans."
Two weeks ago, Arlington School District was named the Western Washington Fresh Food in Schools Champion by the Washington Sustainable Food and Farming Network.
"Arlington's (school and community Farm-to-School committee) has done such a wonderful job creating the infrastructure needed to get Washington-grown food into cafeterias," said Acacia Larson, coordinator of the network's Fresh Food in Schools Project, which receives funding from the USDA.
Ed Aylesworth, director of health and nutrition for Arlington Public Schools, said he was surprised by the award because his fresh-foods program is still getting started.
"And right now, we're out of season for produce from our local farmers. Fall is when we really get the local foods on the menu, and we're hoping for some strawberries before school is out," Aylesworth said. "But the award is encouraging and it's nice that Arlington is recognized for trying to feed its students well."
In its second year, the Fresh Food in Schools Project now includes 32 new farm-to-school programs statewide. Participating schools bought more than $300,000 worth of Washington-grown fruits and vegetables, an increase of about 82,000 pounds of produce from the previous school year, Larson said.
The aim is to put more Washington-grown fruits and vegetables on the lunch menu, something that's good for kids and good for local farms, Aylesworth said.
Three years ago, the city's natural resources director Bill Blake presented the idea of using local farm produce on the school lunch menu to a joint meeting of the School Board and the City Council.
"My goal was not only to provide good food for our kids, but to create jobs and encourage ecologically sound farming practices in exchange for the certainty of produce sales," Blake said.
Aylesworth, an Arlington native, got on board, as did Arlington resident Linda Neunzig, who serves as agriculture coordinator for Snohomish County and people from the Snohomish Conservation District.
Aylesworth and Blake got help from their friend Shawn Yanity, chairman of the Stillaguamish Tribe, who encouraged the tribe to give the Farm-to-School committee a $100,000 grant to get the program going.
The Farm-to-School committee provides for prudent management of the grant funds, Aylesworth said.
The school district installed refrigerated salad bars in its schools and began connecting with farmers in the Stillaguamish River valley. Aylesworth also arranged to give preference to growers in Snohomish, Skagit and Island counties, allowing him to pay a bit more for food grown locally.
Another connection Aylesworth made was with Mike Bennett of Hendrickson Farms in Marysville, which buys produce from around the state. Bennett makes sure fruits and vegetables meet federal guidelines, delivering to Arlington schools fresh, ready-to-eat food.
"Part of the challenge with the salad bars was to get the kids to eat what they take, but to take enough to try it all," Aylesworth said. "There is enough variety that each child should be able to find something he or she likes."
The Farm-to-School program is coming at a good time for Arlington-area farms, Blake said.
"The farming community, which used to be dominated by dairies, is in the middle of a transition, where local growers are developing business plans and relationships with buyers to make sure that if they grow dinner table products, they will be able to sell the produce," Blake said. "The long-range vision is that growers would compete for contracts a year ahead, which would provide them assurance that the up-front investment on seed, planting, weeding and processing will be returned through the sale to the school district."
The committee hopes to increase the use of local produce in the schools and encourage farmers to use greenhouses to expand the options of fresh food availability, Blake said.
Owen LaSalata, the fifth-grader whose name means salad in Latin, said he hasn't bragged to his family about the good food he gets in school.
"They just know I like it," Owen said.

Caroline Cuddy
August 20, 2012 - 12:00am
Program: Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL)
Undergrad: University of Rhode Island (BA Spanish and French)
Fast Fact: Caroline walked more than 500 miles of the mystical Camino de Santiago.
"Our collective experiences of travel, language learning and teaching and research make for a truly inspiring cohort of linguists!"
After Caroline's initial visit to the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS), she was in awe of the beautiful scenery and nature Monterey has to offer. She says, "I could really see myself living in such a magical place. Academically, MIIS had exactly what I was looking for – a strong MATESOL program with top-notch faculty and a strong Peace Corps presence consisting of Peace Corps Master's International students and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs)."
Caroline shares about her experience so far at MIIS, "The support and attention I've received from the faculty and student coordinator have been incredible. Also, I've felt that my professors always encouraged me to tailor my studies to suit my future Peace Corps service. In short, I feel very prepared as I am about to embark on twenty-seven months of Peace Corps service in Colombia."
Caroline goes on to say, "I've enjoyed working with my professors and peers. Our collective experiences of travel, language learning and teaching and research make for a truly inspiring cohort of linguists! I have learned so much from each and every one of them – it's truly an honor and privilege to be able to call them my colleagues."
Caroline is excited to work with people from around the world and help them learn to communicate in an ever changing, multilingual world. She says, "Language has opened doors for me that have lead me towards incredible adventures – I only hope that I can help make that happen for my own students."

"Such beautiful save the dates!! The paper is much thicker than I thought it would be, and they are really lovely. I can't wait to send them out! They arrived much sooner than expected as well. Thank you so much!"
"We chose the fern color and used the London Book fonts. Turned out lovely. I was impressed by the paper quality, the print quality, and the overall look of the cards. I ordered these without getting paper samples in the mail and was very pleasantly surprised. Worth every penny. Thanks!"
"Our wedding is in the Fall so we decided to use this design for our save the dates. Requested some color changes and the result looked fantastic!"
"The printing quality and consistency is great. It's a simple yet elegant card. The only suggestion I would make is to have an option to exclude the wedding paper divas name on it (a pay option)"
"This save the date was perfect for us. We started by choosing our favorite suite for invitations, but realized we didn't have any engagement photos for our save the dates - no worries!!! Although you have to order first and then request customization, Wedding Paper Divas did an excellent job altering the save the date to exclude a portrait. It was simple and elegant, preserving the original text and design. To save cost, we also went with the basic paper choice. The paper quality and weight are both sufficient. The design is very pretty. Simple and tasteful. We are very pleased with our purchase."

Brittany Dickens had three kills down the stretch as Pfeiffer won game one 30-17.
Anderson took game two 30-28 to even the match at 1 all. It was a close game throughout as neither team led by more than four at any time. Anderson took the lead for good at 17-16 and Pfeifer never got too far behind but could never tie the score. Brittany Dickens and Lauren Spiotta each had three kills to keep the Falcons in the game.
Game three was won by Anderson 30-20. After a close start to the game the Trojans used a 6-0 run to build a 19-9 lead. The Falcons played hard but could not close the gap and lost the game 30-20.
Anderson jumped out to a quick 7-1 lead in game four. The Trojan stretched their lead to 17-7. Pfeiffer then went on a 6-0 run behind two kills by Spiotta to get back into the game. Anderson slowly built their lead back up and won game four 30-20 to take the match 3 games to 1.
Pfeiffer will next play Saturday when they host Barton at 2:00 pm.

Cox Racks Up Yet Another Postseason Award; Named Only Conference Carolinas Representative to NCCSIA All-State Team
April 2, 2012
SALISBURY, N.C. - The North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) announced its selections for the 2011-12 College Division All-State Women's Basketball Team on Tuesday. Pfeiffer University's Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) racks up yet another postseason award being named a first timer to the NCCSIA All-State Team. Cox is the only representative again from Conference Carolinas. Nominees were submitted by North Carolina sports information professionals. NCCSIA members voted for the all-state teams. Teams are selected for men and women in both the college and university (NCAA Division I) divisions.
Players representing eight different North Carolina Colleges and Universities have been named to the 2011-12 NCCSIA College Division Women's Basketball All-State Teams. Dana Hicks, of Catawba, earns a spot on the team for the third time, while Keyona Bryant, of St. Augustine's, Megan Rahn, of Meredith, and Cameron Sealey, of Lenoir-Rhyne, become two-time selections.
Hicks earned All-America honors after averaging a double-double for the third straight season for Catawba. This season, she averaged 13.9 points and 11.9 rebounds in being named the South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year. She finished her career with a school-record 56 double-doubles. Hicks led the SAC and ranked seventh in NCAA II in rebounding.
Bryant, who was a first team selection in 2010, returns to the team after being named the Central Intercollegiate Athlete Association Player of the Year. The senior averaged 16.9 points and 9.8 rebounds a game for St. Augustine's. The three time All-CIAA selection ranked third in the league in rebounding and finished her career with 1,601 points.
Megan Rahn, of Meredith, moves up from the second team last season. The senior was the second-leading scorer in NCAA Division III at 24.2 points per game. She finished second in USA South in rebounding with a 9.7 average.
Pfeiffer's Cox and Guilford's Gabby Oglesby round out the first team selection as rookies on the All-State squad. Cox earned all-conference and all-region honors after averaging 20.8 points and 6.8 rebounds a game. Her scoring average was ninth best in NCAA Division II. Oglesby was named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a sophomore. She averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks a game in helping Guilford to its first NCAA III Tournament berth.
The second team consists of Sealey, Nikki Burton, of Wingate, and the UNC Pembroke trio of DeDe Cotton, Jazmine Kemp and Domonique Washington.

Baseball Continues Hot Start; Defeat Limestone and Francis Marion to Improve to 3-0
February 2, 2014
Game 1 Game 2
FLORENCE, SC - The Pfeiffer baseball team (3-0) won both its games in the Francis Marion tournament and came home from the invitational undefeated. Pfeiffer topped Limestone 10-9 in the opener, and then beat the host Patriots 4-3 in the night cap.
Against Limestone, Pfeiffer scored all 10 of their runs in a three inning span and held off a Limestone rally to come away with the one run decision. Outfielder Jon Gray knocked in three runs and catcher Dalton Lindley went 2-for-4 with two runs, a home run and four RBI's. Centerfielder Kevin Price went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI's out of the ninth spot in the lineup.
Pfeiffer trailed 2-0 going into the bottom of the second but erupted for four in the second, and three in each of the third and fourth innings. The Falcons nearly let a 10-3 lead slip away, as Limestone cut the lead to 10-9 in the top of the eighth and had the tying run on second base with one out in the ninth inning.
Keith Little started and allowed seven runs in five innings. Relievers Zach Huneycutt, Hunter Jobe and Dylan Norris threw four innings without allowing an earned run.
Pfeiffer pounded out 13 hits against Francis Marion in the second game. John Elwood had three hits and Price knocked in three of Pfeiffer's four runs. Tyler Lequire went four innings and allowed only one hit and one unearned run on the mound, before giving way to the bullpen. Josh Branch recorded the win with two shutout innings and Norris got his second save in as many games.
Pfeiffer's three games in the Francis Marion Tournament happened in a 24 hour span as their opener was delayed five hours. The weary Falcons didn't let the tough schedule stop them from starting off the season in an impressive manor. Pfeiffer will look to continue their hot streak as they travel to Nova Southeastern for a double header on Feb. 9.

This shirt wears great, looks great and basically goes with any pair of shorts or slacks I own. I have purchased multiple colors and the stretch fabric allows for a great fit and is extremely comfortable.
Nice, basic golf shirt. No flashy stripes or graphics like those glory boy shirts.
The company I work for buys these shirts often. They are our company shirts, and we love them; all of the colors. They are comfortable on man or woman; great fit and great length.
I wear polos every day at you just can't beat these Nike ones. They look good and they hold up well.
You really can't go wrong with the Nike Victory polo. Since buying one a month ago, I have ordered several more in different colors. Very comfortable, lightweight and it has a little stretch in it making it the perfect golf shirt.

An effortlessly sexy merger of classic shirt confidence and bold, so-now striping in easy-care, semi-sheer crepe.
- Point collar, notch neckline, button front
- Long convertible sleeves, roll tabs, buttoned cuffs
- Patch breast pockets with contrast stripe detail
- Shirttail hem
- Polyester
- Machine wash
- Imported
Playful pattern I bought this piece to wear at work. The pattern is fun, and the fabric is not super transparent, as other material from Express tends to be at times. I pair this with black leggings and the Express polka dot flats, it is a fun way to mix patterns but stay in the same color family. March 5, 2014
An Essential for Every Closet I bought my first Portofino in a soft mint for work.Since Black Friday, I now own this shirt in over 12 colors - it has completely reshaped my entire wardrobe. I usually pair it with the Express best-loved bra camis because they have them in all the same colors. It's comfortable enough to wear through a work day, but casual enough to wear out for drinks. I always received compliments on both the color and the fit. The Portofino is my absolute favorite, go-to shirt. I must admit that the shirt runs a little big - I own this shirt in both smalls (in patterned prints - I prefer to wear these out# and solid colors #usually for work). The small fits me perfectly in the bust, but I prefer the medium because it is a little more flowy and looser fitting around my hips. February 17, 2014
Perfect work shirt I love this shirt! I got it for work and its perfect. The v-neck is not too low for an office setting, but its low enough to not look like a grown woman if that makes sense. I ended up going back and getting two more a few days later. The only down side about it is that the folded sleeves fall down a lot. I hate wearign my hair down with a collar, but this collar is loose enough to where your hair doesnt get caught in it or under it. Just perfect January 29, 2014
My favorite shirt I am obsessed with the portofino shirts and I just bought this pattern today. It looks great on and I can't wait to wear it to work! January 10, 2014
Such a great shirt for professional use and is very comfortable. January 2, 2014

When Nubbins the cat was found, he was emaciated, riddled with birdshot, and had tumors hanging from both of his ears. But the minute he was removed from his carrier by his rescuers, he started purring. He knew he was finally safe; relief was here at last.
Dr. Patricia Wagner, a veterinarian at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, performed surgery on the sweet feline and fell in love with his kind demeanor. Soon after, Nubbins joined Dr. Wagner's household. He is incredibly grateful for his second chance and gets along swimmingly with the family's resident parakeet.
In fact, kitty and bird are stars of the 2014 ASPCA calendar. Check out this adorable behind-the-scenes video of Nubbins sitting for his photo shoot.
Have you received your 2014 calendar? Want another one for friends or family? (They make great gifts!) Make a small donation to the ASPCA, and we'll send you our 2014 calendar today. Thank you, as always, for your support. It makes stories like Nubbins' possible.
Gentle and gorgeous Nubbins and his beautiful parakeet pal (what is the bird's name?) are surely the super stars of the 2014 calendar. Thank you, Dr. Wagner, for caring for this special cat and for taking him to your heart and home.
This story and video touched my heart. Nubbins is gorgeous. I am so glad Dr. Wagner you cared so much for Nubbins and gave him a beautiful home and a chnce to see what love is all about. Thank You for caring
he's beautiful!!!!!!! thank you so much for giving him love and good health!!!! how is wish everyone would understand animals are to love and not abuse!!!!! thank you so much!!!!!! Lucy : )
Me, too. I wish more people would care about animals & see them as living, feeling, needing love & care, beings. Perhaps this is the catalyst the world is missing, hence, evil proliferates everywhere .... non-stop. I read within an animal advocate site, "You can judge a country by the way they treat their animals."
You are amazing and thank you for not putting nubbins down as he deserves a life without abuse. Cats cannot speak for themselves (well usually as mine speaks) so we have to speak for them.
God bless the Dr. for the love and care she has extended to Nubbins! I see that now she is getting back that same love and care from him! Animals are such a gift!
What an angel ! I still can't understand how people can be cruel to animals. Birdshot - this poor, cute kitty was a target. I'm so glad he found a loving home. All animals deserve that chance.
What a perfect life this kitty has now!! Plus a bird friend!! Too cute. :)

LA GRANGE — Farmville Central's boys basketball team left Wooten Gymnasium on Tuesday with its unbeaten record intact and a collective sigh of relief.
North Lenoir was left stunned.
Keyshaun Williams scored 24 points to lead four Jaguars players in double figures, and Farmville Central overcame a late eight-point deficit to defeat the Hawks 67-66 in a wild and crazy non-conference game with an even wilder ending.
"It came down to plays," North Lenoir coach Anthony Loftin said. "We just couldn't get it done.
"I hope we can learn from this. We've got Kinston Friday."
Farmville Central (9-0) trailed by eight with 3:44 to play, but outscored North Lenoir (6-4), which saw its five-game winning streak snapped, 16-7 the rest of the way thanks to some unnecessary fouls by the Hawks and some poor offensive execution.
Josh Phillips, who scored 13 points, grabbed his 11th and final rebound on a missed free throw by Williams and was fouled on the putback. Phillips hit both free throws to cut into North Lenoir's lead at 59-53 with 3:44 left.
From there the Jaguars methodically chipped their way back in, tying it at 61 on a pair of free throws by Williams with 1:40 to play.
A steal by Williams — his fifth of the game — turned into a monster dunk on the other end for the 6-foot-7 senior and gave his team a 63-61 lead it never gave up with 1:31 to go.
"This was the first time in nine games we've been down. I told my team I was proud of them. Every game we've led wire-to-wire this year," Jaguars coach Larry Williford said. "Some guys made some plays. I give a lot of credit to our players. They stepped up and did a lot of things that you just can't coach."
North Lenoir managed to tie it one last time at 63 on a long jumper by Jauquaz Jones, who led the Hawks with 16 points, but Farmville Central hit 4 of 6 free throws down the stretch to hold on.
North Lenoir had a chance to make a play on the game's final possession, but after missing out on an opportunity to steal the inbounds pass with 11 seconds left no one wearing a white and green jersey fouled, essentially letting the clock run out on the Jaguars' victory.
"Our guys expected to be fouled. I told them to expect to be fouled. High school basketball's crazy. I mean, I've been in it 11 years and I've seen a lot of crazy stuff," Williford said.
While Williford was able to coach his team back from a late hole, Loftin was able to do the same in the first quarter.
North Lenoir turned it over on its first six possessions and eight of its first nine before Reggie Rouse hit a jump shot at the 4:07 mark of the first quarter.
Farmville Central took advantage, building an early 14-3 lead while the Hawks missed their first seven shots. But North Lenoir closed the quarter with a 10-0 run that extended to 12 unanswered points in the second quarter to give the Hawks a lead they held until the game's waning minutes.
The Jaguars tied it at 38 in the third period but North Lenoir used a 7-0 spurt to pull ahead 45-38 thanks to a 3-pointer by Braxton Davis with 1:52 remaining in the period.
Farmville Central took their first lead since 14-13 on a pair of free throws by Williams after a steal with 5:52 to play. The Hawks answered the 51-50 exchange with nine unanswered points, but couldn't hold off the Jaguars down the stretch.
Williams added 12 rebounds for the Jaguars. Jake Ashorn and Josh Jones scored 12 points apiece for the visitors.
Davis had 14 and Billy Summers added 14 for North Lenoir, which fell at Farmville Central 67-57 earlier in the season.
"We'll execute better next time," Loftin said. "Williams was great. We couldn't box him out, we couldn't double team him, we couldn't do nothing with him, and we tried. Farmville's a good ballclub.
"It was an excellent high school basketball game. But I want to win the games like that, though."
The Hawks snapped a six-game losing streak in routing the Jaguars.
Ta'Breia Foster scored a game-high 19 points and Quoya Porter added 10 for North Lenoir (2-8), which hadn't won since defeating North Johnston on Nov. 27.
Destiny Foskey led Farmville Central (3-6) with 14 points and Stephany Williams added 10 for a Jaguars team that was outscored 37-14 in the second half.
The Hawks host Kinston on Friday.

I didn't know anything about the books and only thing that I knew about the movies that is was a vampire movie.. And one day I asked my mother if she saw it (she also likes vampire movies). She said that she didn't care for it but my brother did. So one day back in March I was done in the local cd/video store and got a copy. Well I had the movie here for 3mths before I watched it. I fell in love with the movie. And I had no idea of who RPatz was but I fell in love with Edward. The same day that I watch Twilight I went down and got New Moon and then a couple of days later when I got the books. And was sucked in even more into the story.. I a month I have read all 4 books 2 times and seen the movies about 10 times..
i am a true twilight fan and i am devoted to the twilight saga not just because robert pattinson is in it but because of the other characters and the story line. Other films that have rpattz in them like remember me and water for elephants i have watched those only because they have rob in but they were all really good. i just love twilight soooooooooooooo much im a true devoted fan

A Cleveland County Sheriff's Office deputy was arrested and charged Monday, according to Sheriff Alan Norman.
A captain at the sheriff's office received a complaint Nov. 23 about a deputy,
On Nov. 27, Robbins, who lives in
He was arrested and charged on Monday, according to the sheriff's office.
He was not listed as an inmate Monday, and the sheriff's office was not able to provide a mug shot.
The Star was unable to reach Robbins for comment in time for this story.
Robbins was hired by the sheriff's office on Aug. 16,
"It's unfortunate that situations like this occur, but employees of the sheriff's office are held to higher standards,"
The professional standards division investigates every complaint received by the sheriff's office and, once received, it is investigated to the fullest extent,
"If it's discovered during the investigation that a crime occurred, then the employee is terminated and will face criminal charges," he said.
"When things like this happen, it does sting," he said. "It's my philosophy that we run the sheriff's office as open as possible to the public and regardless of how good or how bad it may seem at the time, I'm going to do what's best for the public and for the agency."

Women's Soccer Defeats North Greenville on Senior Day
October 12, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. On Senior Day at NE Lefko Field, sophomore Aaliyah Jackson scored in the eighth minute to give the Pfeiffer womens soccer team (7-5, 4-2 CC) a 1-0 victory over conference foe North Greenville (4-7, 1-4). Senior goalkeeper Natalie Marsh made three saves on the afternoon, and has not allowed a goal in 310 minutes this season, to improve her record to 4-0.
In a pre-game ceremony, Marsh, Leticia Patino, Mandi Roan and Sarah Yates were honored and the Lady Falcons came out inspired. Jackson was streaking down the left wing and fired a shot that keeper Kathryn Tate got a piece of, but Jackson corralled the rebound and put it in the open net for her fifth score of the season. Shortly after, Brae Buster found herself open in the box and her shot got passed Tate, but just sailed wide.
The rest of the contest was dominated by the Lady Falcons, although they werent able to tack on any insurance goals. North Greenville took their third shot of the contest at the 27 minute mark of the first half, and would not get off another shot the rest of the contest, a 63 minute span. The Lady Falcons ended the match with 17 total shots, and put nine on net. Kaitlin Sampson and Katlyn Stevens each fired three shots apiece and Jackson and Yates put two on net.
Pfeiffer also held a 6-2 advantage in corner kicks. Tate made eight saves in the loss for the Crusaders.
The Lady Falcons return to action on Oct. 16 when they host Brevard in non-conference action. The match is set for a 1 p.m. kick off.

How would you like to see Sean Hannity wearing a Mike Trout jersey on Fox News?
Yes, that Sean Hannity. The conservative radio and TV host who's either a truth-teller or a blowhard, depending on your political inclinations.
He's a big-time New York Yankees fan, but he might have bitten off more than he can chew by entering into a bet with Leeann Tweeden, the model, TV correspondent and activist. She's a big-time Angels fan, and last week she and Hannity started talking smack about their respective teams on Twitter.
(Click the photo to see more of Tweeden.)
If the Yankees have the better season (with "better" still to be codified, but generally meaning who advances further in the playoffs), Tweeden has to appear during a regular segment she does on the "Hannity" TV program, wearing a Derek Jeter jersey. If the Angels fare better, Hannity will don that Trout jersey.
"I would love that," Tweeden said. "Please. Oh my God. Come on, Angels. And the Angels are picking it up. The Yankees have lost Pettitte and Sabathia. This is our chance to catch up."
A mix of bikinis and sports
Tweeden, 39, gained stardom through her modeling career, appearing on the covers of Maxim, FHM and Playboy. But she knows her sports, too. For years she was more than just the token babe on "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" on Fox, with Tom Arnold, John Kruk and John Salley. Whether she was wearing a catcher's mask or a car-racing helmet, the self-described tomboy had to prove herself – to jocks and to jock-watchers at home.
"Before I opened my mouth, it was like, 'OK, what does she have to say?' But I'd interview someone for a second, and they'd get it right away. They realized I wasn't stupid, that I did my homework, and I knew what I was talking about."
She met a great many athletes, including one she never expected: While trying to get to Game 2 of the 2003 World Series at Yankee Stadium, she got stuck at the Long Beach airport when her flight was cancelled. She phoned JetBlue, frantic. "I said, 'I've got to get to New York because I'm going to the World Series. Then I hear this guy behind me, and he said, 'Yeah, me too!' "
That guy was Jered Weaver, who was a 21-year-old junior at Long Beach State. Jered was trying to get to the World Series to see his brother Jeff pitch for the Yankees; Tweeden knew Jeff from her work on "The Best Damn Sports Show."
She and Jered got on a flight the next day. "He and his roommate let me stay on the couch," she said.
A man in uniform
Ever since she got on TV, men have never really stopped hitting on Tweeden. "It doesn't even faze me anymore. It's just part of the deal."
In 2003 she started dating the same guy who shut out the Yankees in Game 6 of that World Series she was trying so hard to get to. That was Josh Beckett.
They broke up in late 2004. That was just before Tweeden departed for a whirlwind six-stop USO tour to entertain American troops stationed in Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan and Germany. Tweeden had been using her celebrity to support the troops since the 9/11 attacks, and on this trip she was accompanied by Robin Williams, John Elway and Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Tweeden emceed the shows, and when it was time for the troupe to fly from northern Iraq to Kuwait and eventually home, she discovered that an Air Force pilot she'd met back in the States, Capt. Chris Dougherty, happened to be the one flying them aboard a C-130 transport plane.
"I sat up in the cockpit with him, and in the meantime Robin Williams is up there, talking to the crew on the radio. And in the back, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs is throwing footballs with John Elway," Tweeden said. "From that moment I knew I wanted to date Chris, and when we landed I totally pursued him."
She and Dougherty were married on July 4, 2010, in Virginia, and they live in L.A. He's now a JetBlue pilot while also serving in the California Air National Guard.

Cat Anterior Uvea Tumor
Cat Anterior Uvea Tumor
The uvea is the part of the eye that is directly behind the cornea. The iris, ciliary body and the choroid which lies in the back of the eye and provides nutrition to the retina. The iris and ciliary body are anterior uvea and the choroid is the posterior uvea.
Tumors that are in the anterior uvea will involve the ciliary body, the iris or both. They can be primary tumors, those that originate in the eye or secondary, which have metastasized from other parts of the body.
The most common type of primary tumor of the uvea is melanoma. Cats commonly develop a change of color in the iris that appears brown. It can take several months to years to develop and in cats may just be a color change rather than forming a mass.
Melanomas of the ciliary body can be benign. They may enlarge and damage surrounding tissues. Others of the iris or ciliary body are malignant and can metastasize to the tissues around the eye, and to other organs.
There are three other types of tumors: Benign tumor of the ciliary body, which can become malignant. The original tumor is an adenoma and the malignant becomes an adenocarcinoma. There are also tumors that will arise from the embryonic tissues of the eye called medulloepithelioma.
The most common secondary tumors are lymphosarcomas.
If allowed to advance, the cat will have pain and eventual blindness, bleeding in the eye and glaucoma as well as damage to surrounding structures.
Signs and Symptoms
1. Color change in part of the iris
2. Observance of a nodule or mass behind the pupil or in the iris
3. Discoloration of the white of the eye
4. A change in the shape of the pupil or continuous enlargement of the pupil
5. Bleeding visible in the eye
6. Sensitivity to light, signs of pain, increased tears
7. The eye may look reddened or bloodshot
8. Potential for swelling or a visual change in the shape of the eye
Your cat may also be experience Cat Lethargy and have a Cat Loss of Appetite which leads to Cat Loss of Weight. They will not be as playful and will have an overall decrease in their activity.
Your veterinarian will want a complete history of the occurrence. A physical exam will also be done. As part of the physical, the pupil of the eye will be examined for reaction to light. To rule-out glaucoma, the pressure of the eye will be checked. It is possible that your family veterinarian will refer your cat to a veterinary ophthalmologist.
Tests such as ultrasound of the eye, blood tests and bone marrow cytology may also be done. X-rays may be done to rule out metastasis to other organs. CT scans and MRI can also be beneficial.
Treatment Options
Cat Cancer Chemotherapy may be used for the treatment of lymphosarcoma with the fact that it is seldom successful foremost in the mind of the vet and the owner.
Most uveal tumors are treated by enucleation, removal of the eye. If the tumor is small and benign, the mass may be removed.

Camano man plans, at long last, to retrieve paintings left in Siberia
Genna Martin / The Herald
Artist Jack Gunter made series of paintings between 1989 and 1990 after returning from trips to Russia. Gunter, who has studios on Camano Island (above) and in Stanwood, plans to return to Siberia in September to retrieve several of his paintings left behind for a traveling art show in 1989, shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union.

This is one of the paintings Camano Island artist Jack Gunter is traveling to Russia to retrieve.
Jack Gunter, 65, plans to fly to Russia in September to "rescue" his long-lost paintings, which he left there for a traveling art show in 1989, shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union.
The art has remained in Siberia ever since, owing to a customs dispute. When the paintings first arrived, a customs official in Akademgorodok volunteered to unseal the paintings and to keep the paperwork.
"A year later, on the return trip to retrieve my artwork, I found that everything in the Soviet Union had changed. The Berlin Wall had fallen, Yeltsin was now in charge, and something like freedom was trying to get a foothold," Gunter said. "And the customs agent who had witnessed the unpacking of my art crates was nowhere to be found, a victim of regime change."
Gunter, who has studios in Stanwood and on Camano, is known for his colorful artwork on large canvases that takes satirical jabs at government and cultural convention.
He made fun of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in its early years portraying it as the "Skagit Valley Traffic Festival" and Gunter printed up a bunch of T-shirts for Farmers Against Raising Tulips, a group of pea farmers who couldn't get their harvesters on the back roads because of the bumper-to-bumper tourist traffic. He's also known for his paintings that include flying pigs.
In 1989, a peace delegation from Akademgorodok visited Stanwood, and the visitors were taken to Gunter's art gallery. There they saw his 1988 artistic reaction to a proposal then to put an airline runway -- "SeaTac North" as it was called -- in north Snohomish County in lieu of a third runway at the international airport south of Seattle. The paintings showed airliners chaotically crashing in Stanwood, Gunter's adopted hometown.
One of the visitors, a man named Valerian Ivanchenko, invited Gunter to travel to Siberia and bring along some of the paintings.
The visit from the Russians and their invitation were intoxicating to the artist, who trained as a chemist, has written five novels and collects Frank Lloyd Wright antiques.
"Among this group from Siberia was a woman who I figured was a KGB agent," Gunter said. "I hit on her pretty hard because I wanted to know what it would be like to kiss a spy. But, of course, it was unsuccessful."
A few months later, in the fall of 1989, Gunter flew to Moscow.
The documents allowing him and the paintings into the country were not waiting when he arrived. The Russian contact meeting Gunter at the airport jumped a fence to produce the papers.
"Then a government agent put three carbons in a typewriter and asked if I was a member of a political party. With visions of Joseph McCarthy in my head, I said that I certainly was not, but then I realized that was the wrong answer," Gunter said. "'I am a member of the Siberian-Stanwood Cultural Exchange Party,' I told them."
In Akademgorodok, the show was installed at the Science Gallery.
"It was my first art opening outside of the United States. I believe I was the second American allowed to enter this region," Gunter said. "The exhibit was called 'The Last Time They Saw Helen's Kitchen.' It had erotic bakeries serving naughty treats, and passenger aircraft crashing into everything the community held dear, including me in my hot tub and Dale Chihuly on the blowpipe creating airport runway inspired glass bowls.
"Viewers called my paintings political protest. I didn't think of them that way, but then I realized they were right."
Along with the exhibit there, Gunter's paintings also toured Moscow and the city of Samara. Later Gunter learned from a woman at the art museum in Samara that, on the eve of the dissolution of the USSR, some New York City art dealers showed up looking for original Russian art.
"What they saw were these paintings from Jack Gunter from Stanwood," he said. "The museum lady told me the art dealers were horrified and fled."
Gunter went home and painted scenes from his trip, using the iconic Russian Orthodox-like imagery with halos around each face, including his own. One painting shows Gunter with a garage sale sign in his arms.
"I was instrumental in the fall of Communism," Gunter said. "I introduced yard sales."
In 1990, Gunter returned to Siberia to pick up his paintings. Without the paperwork from the customs official he dealt with the year before, he was told his artwork would never make it out.
"I was heartbroken."
It wasn't a complete loss, however. His Trans-Siberian train trip back to Moscow provided inspiration for a dozen more paintings when he returned home.
"The Russians kept trying to show me their monuments, when all I really wanted to see were some villages," he said. "So there I was, viewing Russian life through the birch trees along the tracks."
He stayed in touch with Ivanchenko for a while, but eventually lost track of his Siberian contact.
"Then Facebook put me back in touch with Valerian. I asked him about my paintings. Instead of answering, he asked me to come to visit the Altai Mountains with him," Gunter said. "After a few months, I told that I would visit, but again I asked about my held-hostage paintings. He finally answered that they are OK and safe with him. I may still take cash along in case I have to pay customs officials a bribe."
The upcoming trip is to be filmed by photographer Ken Rowe, a former Schack Art Center board president, and Jesse Collver, a 1995 Arlington High School graduate and independent filmmaker who has worked for years for Anthony Zuiker, creator of "CSI" and who is a producer on ABC's "Whodunnit?"
People familiar with Gunter know that the film is unlikely to be a straight documentary. He already has some ideas for staging some movie shots.
Gunter plans to be greeted at the airport in Moscow by a cardboard cutout of Edward Snowden, the American computer specialist who worked for the CIA and who leaked details of several top-secret U.S. surveillance programs. Gunter also plans to hold one of his paintings and fend off a look-alike of Russian President Vladimir Putin wearing the Super Bowl ring he is accused of taking from the owner of the New England Patriots.
Collver, 36, has known Gunter most of his life.
"I ran into Jack this summer on my visit home," Collver said. "I had made some documentaries in Haiti and I am always up for an adventure, so I told Jack I would go. I am eager to see Siberia and with Jack and the hunt for his paintings, well, I just know it's going to be interesting."
Stanwood Mayor Dianne White, who is a Gunter fan, wishes the artist well.
"Jack is an important member of our community. He gives more than he takes and his heart is always in the right place," White said. "He is well-educated, extremely smart, compassionate and a lot of fun."
When Gunter returns, he plans a celebratory exhibit of the paintings that were in Russia as well as the paintings he made after his trips to Siberia. A showing of the documentary film will come later.
"There also will be an auction and fundraiser because I need to pay back my brother for the cost of this trip," Gunter said. "You have to take the opportunities as they are presented."
