A Pineville man was indicted recently by a Bell County Grand Jury for allegedly pointing a gun at three deputies and assaulting two of them.
Orville Hobbs Jr.,48, was indicted for three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, two counts of third-degree assault, second-degree fleeing or evading police, three counts of third-degree terroristic threatening and one count resisting arrest.
Hobbs was arrested on the charges in February following an incident near his home.
According to the citation, Hobbs came to Balkan Road and pointed what appeared to be a semi-automatic shotgun at Bell County Sheriff Deputies BJ Brock, Carl Frith and Joel Quillen while they attempted to serve a warrant.
The citation states deputies ordered Hobbs to drop the weapon, which he did not comply. He turned his four-wheeler around and drove back to his residence. After Hobbs was placed under arrest, he grabbed Quillen and attempted to pull him to the ground. He also kicked Brock while being placed in the police cruiser.
According to the citation, Hobbs threatened to have individuals harm the deputies and their families.
In other court news, Heather M. Davis, 26, of Middlesboro, was indicted for third-degree assault, second-degree fleeing or evading police, giving officers a false name or address, resisting arrest, menacing and for being a persistent felony offender.
According to the arrest citation, Davis was a passenger in a motor vehicle during a traffic stop in April on Archer Road in Middlesboro. When Kentucky State Police Trooper Aaron Frederick asked for her ID, she replied she left her purse at home and did not know her Social Security number.
The citation states she told the trooper her name was Amanda Jackson. When the trooper ran the name he found the person in the vehicle was not Jackson. When Frederick went to detain Davis for more questioning, she pushed him and took off running on foot, according to the citation.
The citation states Frederick caught Davis and got her to the ground where she grabbed his uniform and hands. It also states, she picked his handcuffs off the ground and threw them across the lawn. After the trooper drew his Tazer, Davis became cooperative, police said.

Egypt's security forces stormed camps of protesters loyal to ousted President Mohammed Morsi on Wednesday, a wave of gunfire and tear gas that set off fighting throughout the country and left at least 235 dead and more than 2,001 injured.
By evening, bulldozers had move into the camps. The main site, a virtual city that had housed thousands in the Rabaa section of Cairo was set afire. The country was under a state of emergency.
"Rabaa is ashes," said Jihad Khalid, 20, a protester who lost friends and was at the Rabaa field hospital when police arrived. "The police were letting women leave and arresting men. And then a police officer told me 'Leave' and I said 'I am not leaving. He said, 'You know I can kill you right now.'"
The Wednesday clashes once again threw the country into a state of upheaval.
Live Chat: What is happening in Egypt right now?
Nobel laureate and liberal Mohamed ElBaradei, who served as vice president of foreign affairs, resigned from the military-named government, saying he opposed the government crackdown on Morsi supporters.
"I cannot be responsible for one drop of blood," ElBaradei said in a statement, adding he believed the government had other means to clear the sites, where Morsi supporters had conducted sit-ins for six weeks.
The government defended its actions, claiming its forces were attacked and then used only tear gas and not live ammunition. Mohammed Ibrahim, the Minister of Interior, said the "least amount of force" was used. He banned future sit-ins.
"This state of mayhem and insecurity has come to an end," said Prime Minister Hizam el Biblawi, who praised police for what he called their restraint. "
As of early evening, Health Ministry officials said that 235 had been killed, including at least 43 police officers and soldiers, and more than 2,001 injured. Those numbers were expected to rise.
The moves were widely criticized in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
"The United States strongly condemns the use of violence against protesters in Egypt," Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday from Martha's Vineyard, where President Barack Obama was vacationing.
"We extend our condolences to the families of those who have been killed, and to the injured. We have repeatedly called on the Egyptian military and security forces to show restraint, and for the government to respect the universal rights of its citizens, just as we have urged protesters to demonstrate peacefully."
The government effort to clear the sites pitted armed forces against citizens with rocks and produced widespread carnage. Near the site of the larger sit-in in Rabaa, it was impossible to walk a few feet without seeing an injured man, hearing the wails of a grieving woman or smelling the punctuating stench of tear gas.
There were conflicting reports that the daughter of Muslim Brotherhood supreme leader Khairat al-Shater and her husband were killed in Rabaa.
Freedom and Justice Party leader Mohamed El Beltagy confirmed his daughter Asmaa, 17, was among those killed. Egyptian state television later reported that Beltagy was one of eight Muslim Brotherhood leaders arrested Wednesday, though Ibrahim denied that. The government already had arrested Shater.
Among those killed at Rabaa were at least two journalists, including Sky News cameraman Mick Deane, 61, a 15-year veteran of the British station. Several other journalists were arrested or threatened when they tried to cover the events.
In Rabaa, protesters had positioned cars as barricades. About 6 a.m., witnesses said, military and police vehicles began surrounding the several block site that included numbered tents, bathrooms and kitchens for the thousands living there. Around 7 a.m., forces threw tear gas into the crowds, said Mohammed el Nagger, 64, a carpenter who has been at the site since June 28. Residents started to run out of the tents, el Nagger said.
"Once the people went out into the open, they started shooting," said el Nagger, who was struck in the ankle.
His son, Kamel, 35, described a horrific scene of people trying to help each other, his bandaged hand shaking as he recalled the incident.
"In front of my eyes I saw someone shot. Another man went to help him and he was shot too. They were lying on top of each other," he said. "We cannot even move the dead outside."
Ambulance workers told McClatchy they did not have permission to enter Rabaa, the far larger of the two protest sites. They had to enter by foot, limiting their rescue work. McClatchy reporters saw roughly 30 bodies piled up in a makeshift morgue at Rabaa field hospital, near the site of one of the sit-ins, with only a fan overhead to keep the bodies cool. Hospital officials said they had 10 more in another room in the same field hospital. Reporters saw other bodies outside the site as well.
As the clashes erupted, the Ministry of Interior urged protesters to use one exit point. But waiting for them there were local residents who vowed to beat up those leaving. Later, they created more avenues for protesters to leave.
At least 10 were killed at the second but much smaller sit-in site in Nahda, near Cairo University.
Bursts of tear gas and gunfire continued throughout the day. McClatchy reporters caught in the middle of fighting between protesters and police pleaded with an apartment doorman to let them inside the gate. Once there, reporters could hear the sound of nearby gunfire, screams of those hit and others breaking up bricks at a nearby construction site to use as rocks.
The violence spread throughout the nation as at least 21 churches were set ablaze, along with police stations nationwide.
With many roads blocked in what appeared to be an effort by the government to stop protesters from coming to the sit-in sites, supporters instead launched protests in their neighborhoods. In Faiyom, an impoverished governorate south of Cairo that was fiercely loyal to Morsi, at least 17 people died in clashes. Clashes also erupted in Ismailia in the Nile Delta, killing at least 15, and the restive Sinai.
Morsi supporters said at least one child was killed.
In other parts of Cairo, protesters overturned police vehicles and even turned one over a bridge, according to a widely distributed video of the incident.
The government declared a month-long state of emergency in 14 of the nation's 27 provinces, effectively allowing security forces to clear the streets without public oversight. From 4 p.m., when it announced the state of emergency, till 7 p.m., when the curfew started, the security forces allowed some protesters to leave sit in sites and arrested nearly 600 others.
It was the third move against the camp at Rabaa. But the scale of violence sparked a debate about the government response to the Muslim Brotherhood, the secret organization through which Morsi ascended to the presidency a year ago, and his Islamists supporters. Last month, Gen. Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi, the minister of defense who announced Morsi's ouster July 3, asked the public to take to the streets and give him the backing to address the sit-in.
While some decried that fellow Egyptians could treat one another with such brutality, others welcomed the clearing of the sit-in site, saying the carnage was necessary for Egypt to move forward.
"Your hearts are cold. These people are peaceful. We have to defend them," one woman yelled to fellow passengers on the subway early morning.
"Stop watching the news!" replied another.
Efforts failed in the past month of negotiations, both by Egyptians and the international community. Neither side could agree on who would represent them, let alone the major divisive issues of the day.
Ahmed Tayab, sheikh of al Azhar, a revered institution of Sunni thought, condemned the violence and said he was unaware the security forces planned to clear the area.
Indeed, he was scheduled to lead negotiations between the Brotherhood and the government Wednesday even as he shared the stage with el-Sissi during the July 3 announcement.
At the field hospital, so many bodies came in so quickly, it was clear there was not room for them. "Sha-heed!" or Martyr protesters would yell as another dead man came by. Those who were lucky enough to escape the site sought treatment at a nearby mosque turned hospital. Some tried to take off their shoes at the doors in accordance with religious customs.
"This no time to take off shoes!" the imam yelled as blood soiled the mosque carpets.
Every few minutes a man would be carried in, the women would scream and there were quiet murmurs of what the day's events meant for Egypt's future.
"We can no longer be peaceful," a Morsi supporter said as he carried an injured friend into the morgue.

Morning skate notes: Andrew Shaw throws fit and we should all dwell on the fact that somebody gave Tyler Seguin a Selke vote
|06.15.13 at 2:08 pm ET
CHICAGO — The big news of Saturday's morning skate was the fact that Nathan Horton is in the lineup for Game 2, but here are a few other notes from the morning:
– It was tough to tell what the lines will be given that Jaromir Jagr was not on the ice, as he commonly abstains from morning skate. Because Jagr wasn't out there, Tyler Seguin skated in Jagr's place on Patrice Bergeron's line. That's interesting because when Jagr has missed skates in the past, the team has put a healthy scratch, such as Carl Soderberg, in his place and kept the other lines the same. Perhaps Claude Julien saw enough in Seguin in Game 1 to put him back in the top six mix. Seguin has just one goal this postseason.
– Speaking of Seguin, No. 19 was amused by the fact that he received a fourth-place vote for the Selke trophy. The Selke is given to "the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game," which Seguin, um, is not. Seguin is known for his elite offensive skill and skating, but he is one of the Bruins' worst defensive players. He was surprised to see that somebody voted for him (it's decided by the Pro Hockey Writers' Association), and with three points, he was second among Bruins players in Selke voting (Bergeron had 1250). That means Seguin had more points than friend and actual good two-way forward Brad Marchand, which Seguin found entertaining.
– Andrew Shaw had an uncomfortable temper tantrum during the Blackhawks' media availability. Because Patrick Kane's stall is next to his in the Blackhawks' dressing room, Shaw had difficulty to access his stall given the media crowd. That prompted Shaw to kick a trash barrel across the room. Blackhawks PR calmed Shaw down in the corner away from the area.
– A reporter who may have been unfamiliar with Jagr's tendency to miss morning skates asked Julien if Jagr was alright, to which Julien responded, "he's 100 percent. He's 41."

Record Detail
- This model Indian cradle, possibly intended for a doll, was one of the Canadian Aboriginal artefacts on display at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition held in London in 1886. Professor William Saunders later sent it to Kew with other 'Indian Curiosities'. It was most likely made by the Mi'kmaq of eastern Canada. The cradle is made from birch bark and wood, split root, aniline dyes, cloth, thread, glass beads, and porcupine quills. The name 'Ellen Peters', possibly the maker, is pencilled onto the bottom.

Gina and Pete
Mad bikers
With Ellen and Alex back, the last full day of our stay at Phong Nha is a trip out to Paradise Cave. I did this tour on a previous visit to Phong Nha on the back of Ben's motorbike and had an incredible time. I was really keen to share the experience with Gina and Ellen. I think that Ben sensed this and so he left the scheduling of this tour until Ellen and Alex had returned from their trek to Hang Em. Knowing that this tour would be the peak of the visit to Phong Nha was great but I was a bit trepidatious at the thought that we would have to do it on scooters albeit in a group. Ben sometimes rolls out a minivan for these tours but our group size was too big this time. Instead it was the jeep for the woosies and motorbikes and scooters for the rest. So my first time in charge of a scooter....with Gina on the back.
So with a quick practice ride from the parking bay to the front of the homestay, Gina hops on the back and we were off, Lucky I am a very good observer of
Paradise Cave
things so we had no problems...until we hit the greasy, bumpy track and the dodgy gear pedal. It wasn't until a further fifteen minutes that we hit our first serious descent that I realised that we very little brake functionality. Through all this Gina was surprisingly encouraging and after about 2 hours of riding I started to feel a little at ease and the stiffness in my elbows settled. Alex took Ellen on the back of another motorbike and showed all the experience all the years of riding on a farm. Ben led the tour in his former US Marine Corps jeep and about 7 motorbikes followed him. A wheat farmer named Pete, a serial visitor to the farmstay was charged with tagging along at the back as our minder. Very good of him.
We first make our way to "Eight Ladies Cave", a small shrine and cave commemorating the lives of 8 fighters who were killed when an american jet fired a missile trapping them in their cave in last days of the war. The cave and shrine are located on the Victory Highway, also called Highway 20 because the average age of the viet fighters on this
Ellen looking fresh after Paradise Cave
road was 20. This was in fact the Ho Chi Minh trail. Anyway the cave and shrine are revered across Vietnam and a bit of a pilgramage place. If you tell Viet that you came here they will be pleased.
Next stop was the Paradise Cave, only recently discovered, surveyed and opened to the public. Whilst the Phong Nha cave that Gina and I had visited the previous day has a long history of people visiting and inhabiting the cave (it even has Cham graffitti) Paradise Cave was discovered in 2005 by the British Cave Society. The talk is that locals knew about the cave for years before that but had lost it and it only really gets "discovered" when a bunch of whities say its there. When it was surveyed by the Brits it was thought to be the largest cave in the world. It has been overtaken by other caves in the national park. Anyway its truly stunning cave with a great array of stalactites and stalagmites. A German corporation has helped fund the management of the cave so that it is accessible to tourists in a way that protects its unique heritage value. Our group park
Rare Black Langur
our bikes about 2 kms from the cave entrance. We make our way on foot and by golf buggy to the base of the entry point. From here its about 500 steps up to the cave entrance before a descent by wooden steps and boardwalk, through a narrow entrance into a spectacular grotto. You only really appreciate the grotto when you are down inside. We spend a pleasant half hour or so making our way to the end of the permitted area by boardwalk - we pass many groups led by guides conversing in Korean, French and in particular Vietnamese.
After leaving the cave we head for an eco trail for a swim - despite the mild start to the day its warmed up appreciably particularly the hike up to the entrance of paradise cave. On the way to the cave, we ride through narrow ravines separating the karst outcrops that make up the national park. The karst is covered in dense jungle vegetation except on the cliff faces where it is too steep for the vegetation to take hold. The road is narrowing as we make our way in a delicate single file - it eventually comes out
Phong Nha swimming hole
in Laos but by that stage the road is virtually unuseable, particularly when wet. Ben warns us that we might see some rare Black Langurs - an endangered species of monkey that is being looked after by a German funded NGO in the area. Ben's talk is standard for the ride and he admits to seeing only one or two of them before - however this time our group comes to a halt as we oggle about 8 of the monkeys swinging around in tree canopy about 100 metres from the roadside.
We stop a little further down the road on the edge of the national park and those that brought swimmers take a dip in the cool waters of the river that comes from the cave system. The river is quite large here and a rich turquoise green, probably from the mineral content. Gina and I look on with a bit of envy as we didn't bring our bathers - the young ones cool off, Ellen does laps out in the middle of the river around an imaginary grid she has marked out. Ben spots the manager of the National Park and races off to show him the
Bikers at the entrance to Phong Nha NP
latest Lonely Planet and urge to gear up for the tourist storm that will be coming soon.
Refreshed, we make our way back to the farmstay having had a very memorable day. We take the highway back instead of the meandering track through the villages that we took in the morning. From the elevation of the highway we can see the large bomb craters in the paddy field, despite the years they are a vivid reminder of the war.
After we return to the farmstay, Alex and Ellen scrub themselves for the night bus to Hanoi. It turns out to be 12 hours of torture, riding in a cramped hammock with the driver belting out a torrent of loud viet techno until the wee hours. Alex swears it was the worst night of sleep that he can remember - at least that ones under the belt. Again Gina and I opt for the flight the next day.
The next day before our check out, Gina and I decide to go for a bike ride in an easterly direction away from the National Park. Our ride takes on small bummpy tracks around the fringe of the rice paddy
fields that stretch out from the farmstay. We notice that further east we travel, the poorer the villages appear - grimey and unkept with little signs of the development and building that is going on nearer the national park.
On the way back we stop at a little cafe that was recommended to us by Veronica, the mother of Ben, the farmstay manager. The cafe owner, Ong Day joins us and we converse in snatches of Viet and English. We pass a phrasebook that Ong Day owns between us to help with the conversation. And we manage to go on for about an hour and with great delight in discovering the details of each others families.
We eventually return to the farmstay, say our goodbyes to Ben and Bich and make our way to Dong Hoi airport for the short bumpy flight to Hanoi. We were very happy for the time we spent there, particularly the previous day, knowing that the place will soon be deluged by countless tourists thanks to Lonely Planet. Before then though Ben and Bich will need to get some new beds because the one thing that lets the place down are the killer beds.

MOSCOW -- The woman shot and killed in Moscow Monday night is confirmed to be 22-year-old Katy Benoit, a University of Idaho psychology graduate student.
The University of Idaho says Benoit was killed in her off-campus home and the suspect, Ernesto Bustamante, was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
During a news conference Tuesday, the Moscow Police Department said Katy, who was a Boise native, was shot outside her home at about 8:40 p.m. on Lily Street near the UI campus. Her roommate was inside at the time of the shooting.
The police department issued an arrest warrant for the suspect Ernesto Bustamante. Bustamante was a former assistant professor in the Department of Psychology and Communication Studies. He resigned on August 19, 2011.
Moscow Police served the warrant at the University Inn-Best Western Tuesday morning where they believed Bustamante was staying. The vehicle the suspect rented was located outside, and records indicate he checked into the hotel Monday night at about 9:30.
Police deployed tear gas into the room. When they entered, they found the suspect on the bed, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Moscow Police say Bustamante and Katy Benoit were known to each other and had some type of relationship. The details of that relationship are not being released at this time.
Family statement
Katy's family issued this statement Tuesday afternoon:
Katy was a beautiful, intelligent and musically talented woman and we are so saddened by her tragic death. She was looking forward to her graduate studies and excited about her future. Katy was a friend to many people and loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and cousin. Thank you to our many friends and the communities of Moscow and Boise for your love, support and prayers.
The University of Idaho released the following statement:
Last night, a University of Idaho graduate student was the victim of homicide at an off-campus residence. The student s identity is being withheld, pending notification of next of kin. The incident remains under investigation. Moscow Police have confirmed to us that the suspect identified in the investigation - Ernesto A. Bustamante, a former faculty member who worked at the university from 2007 to 2011 -- is now dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The university is cooperating fully with the Moscow Police Department.
We are both shocked and saddened by these events. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the victim s family and friends. The university is making grief counseling available for students, faculty and staff.
The University of Idaho is opening up the counseling center to students in search of grief counseling.
Neighbors reaction
At least two people who were in the area of the shooting Monday night said they first thought they were hearing fireworks. They later realized they heard the gunshots.
My fiance' and I thought that they were fireworks, described a neighbor. It wasn't an automated sound, and it didn't have a loud resonating noise like a gun would normally have. I can confirm there were about 11 to 12 shots fired.
The neighbor said there were no sirens or ambulances outside the home where the shooting happened. Neighbors could see only caution tape and a police car with a spotlight on the door. This morning, she describes the neighborhood as being very quiet.
Jane Gordon, a law student at UI, said students received e-mail and text alerts this morning that warned them not to drive near the University Inn-Best Western because police were executing a search warrant. She said campus never closed down, and students at UI are talking about the shooting today.

Ch. Laville Haut-Brion Graves (Blanc) 2008
Bordeaux White Blends from Graves, Bordeaux, France
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Rich, wonderfully concentrated wine, with ripe apricots, green plums, touches of toast riding over a structure that is just beginning a long aging process. Give this wine 10 years. This is the last vintage under this name. From 2009, the wine has been rebaptized Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc."
The Wine Advocate - "The last vintage of Laville Haut-Brion (its name was changed to La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc in 2009) is a blend of 79% Semillon and 21% Sauvignon Blanc revealing lovely lemon blossom, orange marmalade, candle wax, honeysuckle and hints of smoky oak. Full-bodied and capable of lasting 20-25 years, it is a sensational dry white."
Wine Spectator - "Very pure and fresh, with lots of mouthwatering quinine and kiwifruit framing the core of yellow apple, heather, blanched almond and green plum. Very long. Needs a little time in the cellar to blossom. This will be the last vintage for this label; it changes to Château La Mission Haut-Brion starting in the 2009 vintage. "
James Suckling - "A solid white, with apple pie, cream and lemon sorbert. Full and dense, with a racy finish. Tangy. Very tight still. Give it four to five years to open."

About Graves(grahv)
Named so for the gravelly base of soil common in the area, Graves is diverse in the wines it creates. Think red, white and sweet. The best reds of Graves are in Pessac-Léognan in the north, including the famed and lauded first growth, Chateau Haut Brion. There, and in the central area of Graves, come some deliciously dry white wine, while towards the south, you find the sweet wine of Sauternes & Barsac.
Notable Facts
While Graves is most certainly known for its high-quality appellations of Pessac-Léognan and the sweet regions of the south, it also produces dome delicious wine outside of these regions, particularly in the dry white category. The two white grapes, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, are the primary components of Graves' white wines. Many of the dry, crisp style white wines contain more Sauvignon Blanc, while the fuller-bodied whites of the area focus on Semillon. Graves is also known for red wines, based on Cabernet Sauvignon, like the rest of the left bank, and blending with Merlot and some Cabernet Franc.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Whitebaiters beware: There will be more surveillance of
popular whitebaiting spots this season.
The season opens today and Department of Conservation rangers
will be focusing on whitebaiters flouting the no fishing at
night rule - fishing is allowed only between 5am and 8pm (or
6am and 9pm under daylight saving).
''When we hear about people flouting the rules, such as
fishing at night, using oversized and unmanned nets and using
more than one net, this is stealing the whitebait fishery
from future generations,'' Doc senior ranger Pete Ravenscroft
Doc would be targeting popular areas such as the lower Clutha
and Taieri Rivers, as there were anecdotal reports of illegal
fishing happening there.
Last season, some unmanned nets were seized but no-one was
fined. Fishermen could be fined up to $500 for flouting the
regulations, he said.
There was also concern because sports shops were reporting an
increase in sales of whitebait nets, ''indicating increased
pressure on the whitebait fishery''.
From experience, it appeared every third season was a good
one, but this year was expected to be only average.
He said the lower Clutha River produced the most whitebait in
Otago, but Dunedin people liked to whitebait in the Taieri,
Waikouaiti, Kakanui and Shag Rivers.
He hoped whitebaiters would keep a diary of their catches and
pass the information on to Doc so it could establish better
data on whitebait numbers and whether enhancement work was
A huge effort had been put into enhancing and managing
whitebait spawning sites, he said.
About 80km of river banks throughout Otago were now protected
for whitebait.
The whitebait season runs until November 30.

AMES, Iowa-- Programs that support the development of girls' healthy attitudes about themselves and their lifestyles, like those offered through Iowa State University Extension, are vital for today's youth, notes Keli Tallman, who leads program evaluation and research for ISU Extension 4-H Youth Development.
"If girls are provided opportunities and the supports necessary to improve their health and self-confidence, they can develop into women who are resilient to prevailing negative environmental influences that surround youth each and every day," Tallman said.
A 2005 study published by the Girl Scout Research Institute showed that many girls are more concerned about appearing "normal" and being accepted by their peers than maintaining good diet and exercise habits. To promote healthy media messages about girls and women and to encourage more positive programming for girls' health and self-esteem, the Girl Scouts initiated the Healthy Media for Youth Act. The act was introduced in Congress this spring.
ISU Extension supports the mission of developing positive environments for girls, Tallman said. Through participation in ISU Extension family life and 4-H programs, girls are offered multiple experiences to help develop healthy lifestyles while effectively facing the pressures that adolescence, culture and media often present to young people.
"Families desperately need a place where they can go to get assistance on how to talk about all the things kids are being bombarded with in today's media," said Donna Donald, an ISU Extension family life program specialist.
Girl Talk is a program offered through ISU Extension for fifth and sixth grade girls and their mothers. The four-session program offers girls and their mothers or female caregivers a way to improve communication with each other.
"Schools have sex education and health classes, but they give just the facts," said Donald. "Girl Talk is about facilitating communication between girls and their mothers."
Subjects covered in the Girl Talk curriculum include sexuality, hygiene and female health issues. Girls in fifth and sixth grade are going through physical and emotional changes. It's important for their relationships, self-esteem and health to be able to communicate with their family.
The power of the Girl Talk curriculum allows mothers and their daughters to generate healthy communication and therefore a healthy relationship.
"It is really opening channels of communication," said Donald. "When they face decisions and issues with other kids, these girls can go home, sit down and comfortably talk with mom."
The program began in 1995 and was revised in 2008 to meet current health issues. ISU Extension county offices often work with school districts in the state to begin individual programs. Extension employees are also exploring new programs that focus on girls' health.
Girl's Circle is a curriculum that has been used by Janet Smith, Henry County program specialist, and Ali Reif, Henry County youth coordinator. Teens Reaching Youth (TRY), an afterschool program in Mt. Pleasant, uses the curriculum. Reif, Susan Mast, the Mt. Pleasant children's librarian, and five high school girls use the Girl's Circle curriculum to communicate with middle school girls about important issues.
"We talk about issues that the girls don't necessarily feel comfortable talking about with their parents, so it gives girls a chance to find out developmental information they are curious about," said Reif.
The 4-H club discusses a different major topic at each meeting. These topics usually include things like body image, individuality, friendship and self-confidence.
"There is too much stress associated with friendships and belonging," said Reif. "This 4-H club makes it possible for girls to understand their differences and accept one another."
TRY creates an environment for middle school girls to learn from each other and discuss issues that they may not be able to discuss anywhere else.
The 4-H club also coordinates group activities. The girls made cards for troops overseas that the soldiers could use to communicate with their loved ones back home. These types of activities give the middle schoolers a chance to bond with a diverse group of girls that isn't associated with societal and cultural pressures.
Henry County 4-H decided to adopt the Girl's Circle curriculum with the TRY 4-H club, but Girl's Circle is available for any interested group.
"This program is a great one to be connected with 4-H, because these girls are learning leadership skills by working together as a 4-H club," said Reif.

Power-play goals doom Wildcats
Texas defenseman Nick Neville's two power-play goals in the third period proved to be the difference as the Tornado handed the Wichita Falls a 3-2 loss Friday night at Kay Yeager Coliseum.
Neville's first tally — 24 seconds into the final period — gave the Tornado a 2-1 lead. He put a seemingly innocent backhander on net that went over Wildcats netminder Evan Cowley's right shoulder.
The Wildcats tied the game at 2-2 with a goal from Chris Knudson with 8:25 left but found themselves in penalty trouble a minute later.
Wildcats forward Conor O'Neil picked up an elbowing minor and 15 seconds before that penalty expired, Matt Robinson was charged with a kneeing penalty at center ice. Wichita Falls successfully killed off the 5-on-3, but as Robinson was making his way back into the Wildcat end, Neville beat Cowley with a one-timer from the slot.
The Wildcats pummeled Texas goalie Hunter Leisner for the game's final four minutes, but some big saves from Leisner, and some fortunate bounces, let the Tornado escape with their ninth straight win.
"It was a hard-fought game," Wildcats coach Paul Baxter said. "We took a couple of bad penalties, and it came down to special teams. Their power play was better than ours."
The Wildcats went toe-to-toe with the NAHL defending champs and outshot the Tornado 31-22 but failed to capitalize on their scoring chances. They went 0-3 on the power play, while Texas was 2-4.
"I thought we competed right to the end," Baxter said. "We just didn't take advantages of our opportunities."
The Wildcats (15-22-2) missed a chance to draw closer to fourth-place Corpus Christi, as the IceRays were beaten by Odessa 4-3 Friday night. It was the Jackalopes' first win since November.
Wildcat defensemen Charlie Hemstrom gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead at the 4:42 mark of the second period. He let loose a booming slap shot from the point that Leisner had no chance on.
Just past the halfway point of the second Texas evened the score at 1-1. C.J. Reuschlein's pass to the slot found a wide open Jackson Leef, and he beat Cowley with a backhander inside the left post.
Wichita Falls had a pair of power-play chances in the first nine minutes of the second but came up empty on both. The Cats then had to withstand an offensive push from the Tornado, as they were hemmed up in their own zone for a good part of the period's final eight minutes.
Notes: The two teams meet again tonight for the final time this season. ... The Wildcats travel to last-place Odessa for three games next week. ... The attendance was 2,428.

WSDL folder missing from vugen script when pushed onto BPM in BSM 9.13

I have an issue with some Vugen Scripts that when pushed onto BPM are missing the WSDL folder (for web services) hence making the script fail.
I had this issue before and was fixed by using a file "ScriptRepositoryFilters.zip" that I extracted onto <HPBAC>/dat/protocols in my BAC 8.07 setup.
Now we upgraded to BSM 9.13 and the issue persists, HP support sent me already 3 versions of this file (to me they all look identical) but I still ahve the problem.
The script in BSM script repository is ok. If I open the script zip file, I see the WSDL folder which I didnt in my previous issue.
Has someone experienced this in the past or has any ideas on how to approach the issue.
It's very strange that this folder is 'removed' from the script folder in the BPM.
>> There's another thread from 2009 with this issue but never got answered

I was able to workaround by deleting the script from the script repository and then re-upload it but I can't do this with every script as it will impact historic data.

UK police: Tabloid lied, hacked for scoops on girl
nepal News of the World journalists used phone hacking, harassment and lies to secure scoops on missing British schoolgirl Milly Dowler, police reported Monday, detailing a litany of abusive press practices.
In one incident, someone impersonated the teen's mother and called a potential witness to ask for information about the 13 year old, who was found dead months later in September 2002. British police did not specify who made the bogus call.
The new details about the News of the World's relentless pursuit of information about the Dowler case, revealed in a letter to lawmakers released Monday, illuminate one of the most sordid episodes of the British phone hacking saga.
The scandal over illegal practices at the now-defunct tabloid exploded in July after The Guardian newspaper reported that the News of the World had intercepted Dowler's voicemail messages while she was still considered missing.
The revelation that journalists had invaded a murdered girl's privacy to score scoops horrified Britons and led to a cascade of lawsuits, resignations, arrests and official inquiries.
Surrey Police Deputy Chief Constable Jerry Kirkby, whose force investigated the girl's disappearance, said in the letter that the News of the World freely admitted to police that it had broken into Dowler's voicemail, saying it had obtained her cell phone number and password from fellow schoolchildren.
Kirkby also said a potential witness called his force to complain that a News of the World reporter was harassing him for information. He said the reporter claimed to be working in "full cooperation" with police.
Kirkby said the "reporter's assertion that he was working with the police was untrue." The reporter's name was redacted from the letter.
The most troubling incident outlined in Kirkby's letter was a pair of phone calls made to a recruitment agency by someone claiming to be the teenager's mother, Sally Dowler, on April 13, 2002.
At the time, the News of the World wrongly believed Dowler had run away to find work with the agency and was staking out the premises with what one employee described as "hordes of reporters."
Dowler family attorney Mark Lewis said in an email that Sally Dowler never made the call.
"No doubt there will be current investigations as to who that was," he said.
Lewis also asked why Surrey Police did not act sooner to investigate the deception, saying that "no thought seems to have been given to the effect on the Dowler family."
In a separate development, British lawmaker Tom Watson wrote to police asking for an investigation into email hacking at Rupert Murdoch's The Times of London.
In December, Times publisher Tom Mockridge acknowledged that a former reporter had engaged in computer hacking while at the venerable title. The Guardian newspaper, citing unidentified colleagues at the Times, said last week that the reporter had hacked into the Hotmail account of a well-known anonymous police blogger in a bid to discover his identity.
The blogger, Detective Richard Horton, sued the Times in 2009 to stop the paper from exposing him but eventually lost.

Congress grapples with gap on scofflaw contractors
The last U.S. troops left Iraq in 2011, and President Barack Obama has said the American combat role in Afghanistan will end in 2014, though thousands of contractors remain to work jobs ranging from construction to diplomatic security. The State Department alone says it has 10,000 contractors in both countries.
"Cases that would otherwise be straightforward can turn into complex investigations focusing not just on the underlying criminal conduct, but also on the scope of the defendant's employment, his or her specific work duties, and other jurisdiction-related facts," Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer told the Senate Judiciary Committee at the 2011 hearing.
"These inquiries about the scope of a particular defendant's employment can be extremely challenging and resource-intensive, given that they often need to be conducted in war zones or under other difficult circumstances," he added.
The issue has come up in several prominent investigations, including after the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq, when some prison officials avoided prosecution because they were Interior Department contractors.
It also resurfaced after diplomatic security contractors working for Blackwater Worldwide were charged with opening fire in Baghdad's Nisoor Square and killing 17 Iraqis. The Justice Department brought charges under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, but defense lawyers accused them of stretching the statute because the contractors worked under a State Department contract, reported to State officials and provided diplomatic - not military - services.
A judge dismissed the case on grounds that prosecutors mishandled evidence but didn't rule on the jurisdictional question. The Justice Department says it's seeking a new indictment after an appeals court overturned the dismissal. The judge's decision leaves unresolved the debate over contractor accountability, enabling defense lawyers to challenge any new charges on the same grounds.
"If Congress wants to be sure, it shouldn't be relying on the willingness of the federal courts to give a generous reading to past legislation. It ought to be explicit rather than leaving things to chance because if there's a loophole any court of appeals in the country may pounce on it," said Eugene Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale Law School.
The legislation has the support of the contracting industry, which says weeding out rogue members from its ranks creates a culture of accountability, as well as the intelligence community and Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Judiciary Committee chairman. Leahy agreed in the last session to exempt from prosecution intelligence agents who break the law in the course of their jobs, but he balked at extending the same protection to law enforcement officials.
Geoffrey Corn, a law professor at the South Texas College of Law and former Army lieutenant colonel, said questions of jurisdiction may have been less pressing in past decades when Americans maintained a large military and contractor presence in countries whose legal systems were seen as more credible and comparable to the U.S. judiciary. Now, though, federal prosecutors would rather pursue justice in American courts than leave it the host nation, where prosecution may be ineffective - or even non-existent.
In Iraq, for instance, foreign contractors were protected from prosecution until a security pact that took effect in January 2009 lifted immunity.
"When we started peacekeeping missions, war on terror, there's a huge dilemma that's created, and that is, we're conducting these operations in environments where there is not a mature host nation legal system," Corn said.

Nah bro...not at a-4. I haven't run across one man that would double bagel her in a singles match and that's not me taking up for her. I'm just telling you these guys are for the most part spinning serves in. Even he at times got his serve hammered by her if he missed the T or the corner. lol Once the serve comes back many of those guys would have movement issues with her. We were at line 2.
I understand what you are saying about those guys at AA and even many at A-1 and A-2. We played 3 and 4 when we won city finals at A-1 and A-2 mixed. She pretty much handled those guys serves and we broke them at will. I was the one at times having problems holding serve is why many of them even stayed in matches. Since my serve is weak I really concentrate more on my return and volley as it relates to doubles. I think we lost 4 matches in 3 years playing every week for two different seasons each year. We did drop one this year to a couple that lobbed us to death. We have to address that. We do it to everyone but never had it done to us to the extent we got it a couple of weeks ago. lol

I guess I just have different expecations than you do about what the woman should be able to do when returning serve against the guy.
As far as where she should be facing it really depends on how your returns are going. If you are consistently getting picked off by the net person then she should be facing the net person or moving to 2 back. If you are hitting aggressive returns then I'd want her forward in the box and facing the server so she could be in position to attack the next ball. But for ones when you are sometimes getting picked off and sometimes not then standing in the hole and facing the net player is generally the best choice.

I read an interesting article in the New York Times Magazine recently that related the national fallout from government "dysregulation" to our individual inability to control ourselves. It suggested that a corollary to the lack of government controls on the financial sector, our housing market collapse and, most recently, the BP oil spew, is that we seem to have lost the ability to regulate our own behavior.
This lack of personal self-control encompasses everything from overeating, to a loss of emotional stability, to the inability to concentrate. The results are growing rates of obesity, over-consumption of consumer goods (that hot, new iPhone 4, for example) and an insatiable need for beyond normal, external stimulation. These are not signs of a happy people.
This inability to control our behavior is largely the result of our "orgy of self-indulgence" reinforced by a culture of compulsive "getting and spending." This "get" and "debt" cycle is one we need to break, because it can provide only temporary happiness.
I think there are some things we can we do to break this cycle and participating in the arts is an important element. Consider the following:
— Set a budget and live by it. Most of us don't have unlimited resources to support a fantasy life style. Attending theatre is a way to open yourself up to world not centered on material acquisition. Theatre tickets come at all price levels and there is certainly one that will fit your pocketbook.
— Value experiences over things and quality over quantity. Shiny and new is quickly neither. Experiences are mostly the opposite of things; the more you have, the better. Focusing on pursuing experiences also creates a terrific opportunity to participate in and support our rich, local theatre community. And, acquiring a theatre experience can make you a more interesting and engaged person, while simultaneously enriching our community.
— Teach your children to balance their presence in the physical world with the time spent in their app-filled virtual world. Engaging them in the performing arts is a particularly effective way to get their attention, connect them with other like-minded people and improve their critical thinking, self-discipline, self-esteem and poise. When kids are acting, singing or dancing, they're less likely to hound you for toys in the pursuit of instant gratification. If they participate in arts activities, they create a real world experience, rather than a virtual one outside of reality. These arts activities also create a place for you in their lives.
Participating in live theatre is a great equalizer. Performances are a shared experience — created and not bought; it doesn't go out of style or season either.
So, the next time you're tempted to indulge in an unnecessary purchase, consider refocusing on an experience you can share, like exploring the arts and attending the theatre!
While old habits can be hard to change, why not acquire new habits that can lead to a happier, more rewarding and sustainable life?

All About the GED: New York
If you receive a passing score on the GED test in New York, you can earn your New York State High School Equivalency Diploma. This diploma is generally accepted by colleges and employers throughout the state of New York.
New York and the GED
The GED, or General Educational Development, test is a combination of five subtests developed by the American Council on Education (ACE). The GED test helps determine your knowledge of high school-level material. In addition to English, the GED tests in New York are also available in Spanish and French. Your equivalency diploma, however, will specify that you took the test in a foreign language unless you also pass an English proficiency exam.
The five GED subtest areas include reading, writing, social science, science and mathematics. You have separate time limits for each portion of the GED test, and you have a little over seven hours to complete the entire exam. In addition to 240 multiple choice questions, you also must complete a written essay.
Eligibility Requirements
According to the New York State Education Department, you must be at least 16 years old to take the GED test (www.nysed.gov). If you're 16 and would like to take the test, you first must be enrolled in some sort of alternative high school program. If you're 17 or 18, you must provide proof of eligibility to take the GED tests. Ways to meet these eligibility requirements include being out of school for one year, belonging to a high school class that has already graduated or currently being enrolled in an alternative high school program. In addition, the New York State Education Department states that all individuals interested in taking the GED test must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Be a New York resident for a minimum of 30 days
- Have not received a high school diploma
- Not be currently enrolled in a traditional high school
- Have not previously received a diploma as a result of taking the GED test
GED Testing Locations
The New York State Education Department has put together a directory of testing centers and contact information on their website. Currently, ACE does not allow the GED tests to be taken online, and they also stipulate that the test must be taken at an approved testing location. New York has just under 200 official testing locations located throughout the state, at places like:
- Adult learning centers
- Department of education offices
- High schools
- Community education centers
GED Preparation
GED preparation programs are located throughout New York at educational cooperatives, community colleges and adult educational centers. The New York State Education Department has also put together a prep program directory that includes location and contact information. If you'd like to prepare for the GED tests on your own, there are a number of resources available, including ACE-approved sample questions, official practice exams, public access television programs and study workbooks.
Scoring and Retesting
When you receive your GED test results, your scores for each section can range from 200-800. To receive the minimum total standard score required to pass, which is 2250, you must average a score of 450 on each subtest. However, your minimum score on each subtest only needs to be 410, which allows you to compensate a lower score on one subtest with a higher score on another.
You're allowed to retest on the areas that you didn't receive the minimum passing score on. In New York, you must wait 60 days between tests. In addition, you're limited to taking the GED tests a total of three times within a year-long period.

Reinstall XP with a SATA HDD

Have been given a HP Compaq CQ10-101SA with a damaged HDD and no recovery media. Am aware that I need to slipstream drivers into XP SP3 (have a disk), but am struggling with the process.
Google has led me to using nLite for the purpose. The snag comes when I have downloaded (what I believe) is the correct driver package from th HP site and unpack it, nLite tells me to integrate the .inf file, but there isn't one.
I've never had to try this before, so would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks (off out on a job - will check back later).

Is it a file like sp12345.exe?
These are self extracting archives.
Open with WinRAR or 7-zip or something and have a look at the files inside.

If you mean SATA drivers, generic ones are included in SP3 already.

According to this page,when you open the SATA driver file,(create a specific folder for them)that's where you'll find the .inf your missing.

PC Bilbo - when I try to install XP, it says no HDD present.
Chegs - thanks. That's the guide I was trying to follow. Perhaps I have the wrong file, as when unzipped, there are no .inf there. It came from this HP page.It downloads as an exe file. Could you have a look and see if I have the wrong one? Thanks

OK, turns out it didn't need to be an inf file after all. Followed the guide, and now have a slipstreamed XP SP3 with SATA driver - and it works! Another skill to tuck away for another day.
