PADRES: Bell's return appears unlikely
SAN DIEGO — Heath Bell would prefer to spend the rest of his career with the Padres, and team officials have expressed that they want to retain the free-agent closer. Each side's terms, however, are likely to limit the possibility of a deal between Bell and the Padres being finalized.
Bell said Wednesday that none of his contract demands have changed. With an emphasis on security over money, Bell said he has asked the Padres to commit three years to him since before the start of the 2010 season.
As much as they'd like to bring Bell back, the Padres — expected to have a $53-55 million payroll next season — have said they won't pay him a prohibitive salary if it hurts the construction of the club's 2012 roster. A team source also said the Padres aren't likely to guarantee Bell anything more than two years in a new deal.
Those factors and a potentially lucrative market for closers — the Philadelphia Phillies signed Jonathan Papelbon for $50 million over four years — increase the odds of Bell's departure.
"We'd love to have Heath back," general manager Josh Byrnes said. "If he signs elsewhere, we will need to find a closer from outside the organization. Obviously, the market will have an effect on his decision and ours."
Bell said money isn't the most important factor in any new contract. Though happy for Papelbon, Bell won't compare the values of the two contracts, with his emphasis instead placed on the length of the deal.
The Oceanside native said he wants a three-year deal because of the enhanced security. A player with a shorter contract becomes easier to trade.
Bell hopes that whatever team he signs with this offseason will be the last one he plays for. Besides his desire to win, he's interested in becoming a member of the team's community and mentoring young pitchers.
"I've never changed what we're looking for," Bell said. "I've never been a guy who's looking for 'X' amount of dollars. I've never said I wanted fair-market value. I have said I would take a discount here.
"I'm hoping and praying there's a team out there that wants three years or more. I want to build something special. I really don't want to bounce around the league."
The Padres are protected in that they would receive two draft picks as compensation if Bell signs elsewhere because they have offered him salary arbitration. But there's also a risk because Bell can accept arbitration and return to the Padres with a one-year deal, the value of which would be determined by an arbiter. Bell, who has converted 132 save opportunities since he took over as closer in 2009, would likely command a salary in excess of $10 million — or nearly 20 percent of the team's projected payroll.
Bell said Wednesday that he won't decide on arbitration until near the Dec. 7 deadline. But he also won't hesitate to sign with another team if an offer arrives before the deadline.

West Point Green Wave fans will get their first look at this season's edition of the team with a Saturday afternoon scrimmage.
West Point faces defending Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class-3A state champion Louisville Wildcats at 3 p.m. at Scott Field in Starkville. The scrimmage is a part of the New Hope High School fall jamboree, which boasts six different match-ups, beginning with a scrimmage between Philadelphia and Aberdeen at 9 a.m.
Last year, Louisville stunned West Point with a 35-14 victory in the two-quarter scrimmage.
West Point Head Coach Chris Chambless said he and his coaching staff are hoping to utilize the scrimmage to get as many players on the film as possible.
"It's going to be hard to get a lot of people on the field in two quarters," Chambless said. "We need to see what we got. And we want to see different combinations of people on the field. It's a test on doing the little things right. We want the kids to play hard and have fun. "

Another game wearing a Soviet Uniform provides a very underwhelming boring experience.
First off, video games have been around for a long time. Since the earliest days of video games has there been a strand dedicated to the Second World War and it's themes and history. Company of Heroes is one of many to join the legions to tell you a story through our history that should not be forgotten. This sounds quite humble and acceptable, however my opinion is that the game is very, well - not very good.
You'll have to bare with me while I steer a bit off course for a second and explain some history of the Eastern front without taking up the entire review and keeping it down to earth. Hitler and his armies, high on the success of the first two years of the second world war prepared to invade the Soviet Union through the case known as Operation Barbarossa - they launched it in June of '41 and history tells the rest. They started off with over three million men and thousands of heavy weapons, tanks aircraft etc to aid them with, being the biggest operation undertaken ever - even up till now.
Why does this really matter?
Well I'd argue scaling. You see, the Eastern front is a bit more interesting in history I would argue because of scale, every campaign consisted of hundreds of thousands of men, with ideologies and guns pointed behind their backs there was only do and die or don't and die sort of atmosphere. Not one step backwards, casualties were in the millions for both sides. Majority of German casualties in the war were exclusive to the Eastern front. Soviet armies were obliterated times over and still en masse retaliated. Obviously I am missing a few points but this doesn't transform into relic's game sense really well, because you're not playing Company of Heroes. You're playing Dawn of War 40k, just skinned differently. This destroys my expectations of grand battle and real sense of desperation when one or two tanks are on the field and a few platoons spread around taking hundreds of shots and not really dying quickly.
So it's a bit troubling and kinda dumb to watch your four platoons of a few soldiers walk up to a machine gun nest and do the same things space marines do, except in their clothes complaining about it, but at least soaking up the damage! I only played this game on normal so perhaps on the hardest difficulties this game would make it more 'realistic' but then again much like Relic's recent releases the formula just stinks.
Most, if not all of my experience was briefly through the single player. Now one thing relic does pretty well is telling a story, however you seem to have to drag yourself through the campaign (which is thinly veiled as a giant tutorial really for multiplayer) getting a new unit per mission or through unlock. Sure is fun game mechanics!
You never really have a sense of immersion with red painted on enemies randomly to distinguish their allegiance as well as blue on yours, to well - tell you that apparently that's your unit, gee I didn't know thanks! It's all too catering and in the way that breaks away from the historical prospects the game is trying to portray.
That's what is very frustrating for me. The game tries way too hard to pander to basic RTS mechanics that everyone can get behind. However sure, I can see why that doesn't seem like a terrible, but it's very frustrating for what I would categorize myself as, more of a fan of history than a fan of RTS. Because if you're the latter, you're probably going to dabble in the game a bit, move on to better meta game sound games like Starcraft or Warhammer 40k. Which leaves Company of Heroes kinda extremely mediocre because it gets the historic stuff pretty wrong (Tigers in Stalingrad, a pretty large no-no for anyone who doesn't just stick their toe into the historic period) and the RTS experience is very mediocre.
There are a few interesting gimmicks that caught my eye, the whole frozen winter stuff was pretty cool but quickly melts away. In multiplayer there are doctrines you can pick to build around (though reading through forums you can tell that there are very broken strats that completely ruin the experience). The unit's small talk when idling is pretty interesting and I found myself wasting time hearing all the snippets of dialogue rather then just trying to do whatever objectives told me. Breaking the ice under tanks was a bit cool but, again underwhelming. There are also commissars in the game, where they shoot your retreating units - except I never did lose a unit to that, as you can quickly game that pretty easily, microing them once returned to base etc. Pretty dumb.
Also base building - jesus christ that's still a thing? It is so extremely tacked on and poorly scripted. It is just an awful addition to the game. You spend so much more extra time for no reason, just to tech up in a war - that shit isn't needed and its just awful, absolutely. You're playing small tactical battles and you have to build bases? Yuck.
You see it's already 2013, coming up to '14 and having a massive history, where thousands of games have been set in the era - with all of the knowledge and history almost accessible to everyone in every respect you would hope that games that distinguish themselves in the period would be a bit more interesting then a carbon copy of a previous game relic pumped out (W40k:DOW 2) just sent in the period. You never feel a sense of brutal shell shocking experience that gets you immersed, there is somewhat of a story and a few characters you can sympathize with however the game's mechanics are just garbage. Pure hot garbage. You're playing a world war game, yet it definitely feels like I'm on a different planet. I did not have any fun.
But hey, y'know what mixes fun with history pretty fucking great? Men of War - play that series instead. Wow will you experience hard battles and a feel of the war when you dip into that. No clutter UI or default red/blue paint to distinguish yourself differently. Infact I think I will probably stick to that as my go-to RTS WW2 experience from here on out, even if the voice acting is super atrocious.
2/5 I can't see anyone really falling back to this and saying it is anything beyond subpar, which sucks cause I love relic and their company and Sega's recent maneuvers, but it's really just hot garbage I can't even finish the campaign without rolling my eyes. I'm too old for this shit .

LIMA — The body of a man who walked into Lost Creek Reservoir last week surfaced Tuesday morning. The man's mother, relatives and friends watched from nearby.
Police confirmed the body recovered was that of David McCormick, 33, of Lima, who was officially reported missing to Lima Police on Monday. McCormick's body surfaced and was pulled from the water shortly before 8:30 a.m., Lima Police Det. Kent Miller said.
McCormick's mother, Karen Taylor, of Wapakoneta, made the identification from photos shown to her at the scene.
"It's very much a relief knowing they brought him up. Now I can bury him like he should be instead of being under water," said Taylor, her voice cracking with emotion. "They had pictures of David. You can recognize him. He looks good. It's him."
Taylor said it was not uncommon for her son, who suffered from schizophrenia, to disappear for a few days. He always came back until last Wednesday, she said. The last person to see him, before onlookers watched him walk into the reservoir, was his grandmother, who saw him earlier that day.
"He hadn't been taking his medicine. He would get in moods," Taylor said. "We don't know why he did this. He wasn't upset when he left her house that day. We don't know."
Taylor said she and other family members and friends have been at the reservoir daily since Saturday. It wasn't until police said they had found his brand of cigarettes and discarded butts strewn about the bank that family members connected McCormick's disappearance with the report of a missing man who walked into the reservoir last week, she said.
"The Lima Police and Det. [Kent] Miller have been really good to us. If it wasn't for them, we'd never have found him," Taylor said. "You could feel they really cared. That helped."
Miller said he sympathizes with any family facing tragic circumstances.
"You just try to put yourself in their situation," Miller said. "You do what you would want done if it was your child out there."
Allen County Coroner Gary Beasley said McCormick's body was taken to Lucas County for an autopsy.

Some bacteria are good and some obviously are bad. Make sure you get enough good ones in…
From north to south, we have been calling it as dahi, thayir, perugu, mosuru or more... In English, it is called curd because the acidic bacteria that is introduced, as a starter, curdles the milk. Yoghurt is quite a recent christening.
Healthy discovery
Our diets have been quite balanced because of this healthy, or should I say, the healthiest preparation in Indian cuisine. In the West, similarities can be seen in sour cream, cultured milk and in yoghurt.
Fermentation of foods with or without the addition of a 'starter' organism has been in use for a very long time. There is no record of when it was discovered.
Research in the area of probiotics and prebiotics has been recent, though it has been known that certain bacteria are 'good' for us and some are 'bad'. Some clever people discovered that these good bacteria will produce curd and preserve milk for a longer period without refrigeration.
Have you ever tried leaving milk aside from morning to night? It will curdle to a smooth, sticky consistency with a bad smell and a bitter taste, may be due to the 'not so good' bacteria... However, when warm milk is set to form curds, with a 'starter', it curdles to a slightly sour flavour, due to the lactic acid forming bacteria. In both cases, bacteria are responsible, but the latter is a welcome development, while the former is not.
Probiotics and prebiotics
Fortunately, in good health, the friendly bacteria are evidently more and ready to attack the unfriendly ones. This is called, immunity. In addition, we can introduce some more through our fermented curds to help the intestinal flora, as they are called.
But recent research has identified the organisms which are not just friendly, but can be our 'best friends' and named them probiotics. Being living organisms, they also need suitable food to grow inside the body in the form of substances called prebiotics which our body does not or cannot use and are normally present in the large intestines.
Since probiotics depend on prebiotics for growth and stimulation, both are symbiotic and are prescribed to be taken together, for therapeutics.
Curd is good for health, no doubt, but it comes along with saturated fats which are known to increase body weight, blood lipids and cholesterol. So, probiotics, which are available in many forms, can be considered for better results. Recently, companies have introduced probiotics in curd, ice-cream, buttermilk and other drinks, as supplements.
Have you read about 'the nutritious scoop'? Ice-cream researchers at the University of Missouri, USA, have recognised the function of ice-creams as comfort foods which are consumed in plenty, and therefore they have added probiotics and fibre to improve 'digestive health'! Thus, they have converted a comfort food to a functional food and hope consumers will not be upset with the tampering!
Probiotics are also available in powder form, pills and capsules, for therapeutic doses. Looking for a common sense approach to probiotics and prebiotics is to consume curds and fruit regularly. Our elders were very wise, were they not?
Keywords: Probiotics, prebiotics, bacteria, diet, fermentation, curd

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you, that is really Kristen Stewart on the cover of W Magazine's September issue.
This just goes to show you what a team of fabulous stylists, makeup artists and a really good photographer can do. Because we all know that Kristen is one of the most laid back and casual dressing girls in Hollywood but she takes glam to a whole new level for the cover.
Kristen's style is very basic. Whether it's during the day or at night she's wearing her infamous black Allstars, loose boyfriend jeans and a loose t-shirt.
The only time we actually see her wearing beautiful dresses is when she's promoting the Twilight flick all across the globe. That's probably because the studio hires her a stylist and forces her to wear designer dresses. Horrible right? They know that if it was up to her she would be wearing her trademark outfit so they probably force her into these dresses. She gets great press when she wears dresses because it's not very often we see her in one.
During the interview Kristen opens up about the upcoming Twilight film talking about the much anticipated wedding scene and her love for vampires.
You can read the tidbits from the interview below:
On being attracted to Twilight: "I f—— love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me. The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can't. And they're going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous - and we girls like to test ourselves."
On the Breaking Dawn wedding scene: "Awesome. This was my first wedding. It was insane. And odd. The wedding dress experience was a huge deal. I tried on one version of the dress, and it was like tweak and tweak and alter and tweak and change, and then it's done. BFD dress. Huge deal."
On whether she likes watching herself onscreen: "It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves. I hear them going around the block to make excuses for why they don't watch their work. It's bulls—. Sorry, guys - I know you watch your stuff."

Collection: Amongst the Elves and FaeShare|ArchiveAmongst the Elves and Fae"Where is the breadcrumb trail of fairytales, and breath of mother nature? We have grown blind to ancestors and their lore, surrendered to fantasy what we believed before. Yet still we dream of elves and fae, of fluttering twilight sprites and lords of timeless halls; we long for lands where battles are won with bow and arrow, skies belong to eagles, and fields feel the flow of magic under the grass. How have we come so far, and how to go back?"— TheMaidenInBlack of theWrittenRevolution
Collection: The Warrior and the MageShare|ArchiveThe Warrior and the Mage"Preys of the thirst of blades and hunger of spells, what are we but witnesses of a war of two? Steel cloaks the hills as mist rises from the seas, and the night grows bright from shining swords and enchanted words. Whose blood will it be on the meadows, whose cry will echo the victory? When the drums are put to sleep, who will rule between the warrior and the mage?"— TheMaidenInBlack of theWrittenRevolutionwooosh

Mr Cunliffe will reallocate Mr Jones' portfolios of economic
development, Maori Affairs, forestry and building and
construction. It is likely that Nanaia Mahuta will take over
Maori Affairs and could also shift into Mr Jones' seat on the
front bench.
It is understood Mr Mallard will benefit from the changes as
Mr Cunliffe tries to harness his heavy- hitting style. Mr
Mallard was put on the backbenches and given minor portfolios
after Mr Cunliffe's appointment as leader.
He has played a fairly low-key role since then, other than
his crusade against animal testing for synthetic drugs.
Andrew Little is also likely to get a promotion. Others
expected to pick up some of Mr Jones' responsibilities
include Clayton Cosgrove, who has taken over the Countdown
supermarket issue, and possibly Damien O'Connor in forestry.
Mr Cunliffe had a meeting of his shadow Cabinet - the top 20
ranked MPs - in Hamilton yesterday. Mr Jones will deliver his
valedictory on May 21 and his fellow Northlander Kelvin Davis
will take his place in Parliament.

While the Union Home Minister, P. Chidambaram reportedly accepted "full responsibility" for the Dantewada massacre, his cabinet colleague, Subodh Kant Sahay has shifted the blame on the Naxal-affected States saying that they were not serious in tackling the Maoist menace. The Union Food Processing Minister said central forces can act only with logistical and backup support provided by the States.
Critical of the Naxal-affected States' approach towards the problem, the Union Food Processing Minister said here on Friday that unless a sound development package is introduced along with a unified approach a permanent solution would not be found. " The problem with these States --- Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Orissa --- is that they viewed the Maoist menace as a law and order problem", Mr. Sahay told reporters at the Pradesh Congress Committee headquarters.
According to the Minister, media hype of the Maoist activities was a big deterrent in counter-operations. He said: "Operations cannot be discussed in public".
Mr. Sahay said integrated development of the Naxalite affected regions would serve as a perfect antidote for the problem. He said the Dantewada region in Chattisgarh was the poorest segment of the State where poor kids were employed as weapon-carriers by the Maoists.
" It has been found that the State police have a very casual approach towards the problem and since there was absence of coordination among the Maoist-affected States no feedback is given to the Centre", the Minister said. Mr. Sahay added that the issue has to figure on the agenda of the political leadership of these States.
The Union Minister favoured air surveillance of Dantewada region as "ground movement was extremely difficult on account of the terrain and the area being heavily forested". Mr. Sahay, however, said no decision has been taken on a launching a air strike.
An action plan is being prepared by a committee headed by a former director general of Border Security Force (BSF), the exercise is expected to be completed in a fortnight or so, Mr. Sahay said.
Mr. Sahay, who was in Lucknow to inaugurate a national conference on agro industry at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), slammed the Mayawati Government for not allowing investment in agro and food processing sector. He blamed the Government for the absence of investor-friendly policies, and dubbed the Uttar Pradesh Kisan Mandi Parishad as a " loot ka bazaar" ( market place of loot ).
Stating that the State Government has sent no investment proposal to the Centre, Mr. Sahay said UP should introduce a food processing policy. He added that the Union Food Processing Ministry gave Rs. 50 crore for setting up a food park and Rs. 10 crore for establishing a cold chain.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Although a couple of scratches are visible, you can read from the backup CD. The question is, for how long? Cdck measures the sector access times to give you an idea. Have you overwritten the bootloader on your disk? Super Grub Disk to the rescue!
CDs and DVDs use optical structures of approximately 100 nanometers to store data. Even tiny scratches can destroy large numbers of data bits, without the user even noticing at first. Data redundancy and error-correcting techniques, such as cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon code, support error-free data reading, despite damage to parts of the disk. Even newly burned media might not be free of errors: depending on how well (or how badly) your burning device supports your choice of media, the disks could have unreadable sectors right from the outset.
It would be nice to know how much of the existing redundancy has already been used up, or how grave the danger of imminent data loss is. The test functions that many burning tools use for media verification are not a big help. The functions only check whether the filesystem is legible after applying error-correction techniques.

Hulkenberg: F1 will be tough on Sirotkin
Aug 23, 2013, 8:00 AM EDT
Nico Hulkenberg believes that Sergey Sirotkin will face a baptism of fire when he enters Formula One next season as the Russian driver begins to prepare for life with Sauber.
Sirotkin is poised to become the youngest F1 driver of all time if he makes the step up next season, with his promotion being part of the financial package that has secured Sauber's future in the sport. At just seventeen, many believe that he is too young to be driving at such a high level, and Hulkenberg believes that he will face a tough start next season.
"I think for him it's going to be tough," the German driver explained. "Of course, if you jump from World Series to Formula One, then that is a big jump. For sure, he will need some time to acclimatize and get used how everything is working here, but it's not much to do with me to be honest."
Regarding his own future, Hulkenberg admitted that he is yet to make a decision for next season, but he is keen on securing a seat by the end of next month.
"I want to make a decision when I feel that I've made the right choice and when I'm comfortable with everything including involving the team. We would ideally like to have it done by September, end of September."
Sirotkin's arrival at the team would be dependent on him securing a superlicence that allows drivers to race in F1. However, relying he meets all of the necessary requirements, it is possible that Hulkenberg may be dropped by Sauber in favor of the finance that both Sirotkin and Esteban Gutierrez can bring to the team.
With Felipe Massa's contract expiring at the end of the season, the German driver has been linked to Ferrari, but it remains to be seen just where Hulkenberg will end up come the beginning of next year.
- indycarseries500 - Aug 23, 2013 at 11:38 AM
With all of his comments towards Sirotkin, which I agree with 100%, is anyone else getting the feeling Hulk may unfortunately be left off the 2014 grid?
- indycar02 - Aug 23, 2013 at 2:33 PM
the same thing was said of raikkonen in 2000. sirotkin might be at the back of the grid, but no worse than any of them.

Dutch with a load of possession so far, their ability to keep the ball has been impressive but they might as well give up now cause England are the clear best team in the world
Think I just watched the most one-sided 0-0 in history. 20 shots to 4 :|
Also, Brett Holman is the worst player I've ever seen start for a full strength Socceroos. His pass completion tonight was ridiculous and that "shot" towards the end was hilariously bad.

Dining In The Parks: Cache Lake's Quality Camping Food
For many, mealtime on backcountry treks into national parks usually revolves around freeze-dried offerings from the likes of Mountain House and Backpacker's Pantry. Today we'd like to add Cache Lake Quality Camping Foods to the list.
In fact, this Minnesota-based company deserves a high recommendation, if its Beef Stroganoff ($8.52 per two-person packet) entree and Wild Rice Vegetable Salad ($6.25 per two-person packet) are indicative of the rest of the company's dehydrated (not freeze-dried) offerings.
During a recent paddling trip in Yellowstone National Park are crew of four paddlers put those two dishes to the test, and both drew high praise.
"The stroganoff was very good. I liked it," said my oldest son, Jess. "It came out as well as if I cooked it on the stove."
And it was easier to cook on this trip than at home, as the package contained everything you needed: pasta, sour cream, paprika, beef, mushrooms, and various spices and other additives (ie, mono and diglycerides, sodium nitrate, etc.) First you boil two-and-a-half cups of water, then toss in the noodles and beef, simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are done, then add the sauce mix and stir until blended and thickened.
Nutritionally, a 12-ounce serving carries 331 calories, 6 grams of fat, 20 mgs of cholesterol, and a somewhat high 718 mg of sodium, or roughly a third of your daily intake of salt. There also are 16 grams of protein.
The wild rice side dish took a little more attention to make, as it required soaking the rice and veggies (peas, carrots, and celery) for 6-8 hours. That's easily accomplished if you add the water after breakfast and let it soak through the day.
Check out the company's website for the full range of meal items.
Kurt--pretty fancy-- no Vienna sausages?? LOL
I have used this fine company's products for many years now and they are great. I especially love their bread mixes. Just add a half cup of water, stir, and fry up in a greased skillet. They are fantastic and come in a variety of types. Fresh piping hot bread in the wilderness can't be beat! I have met the owners at the Canoecopia show in Madison and they are also first rate folks. I love it when a mom and pop company shows the big boys how to do it right,

The fresh, funny, touching and true story of writer Beverly Donofrio stars Drew Barrymore, who ages from 15 to 35 in the role. It's 1965, and Bev is a bright Connecticut girl who dreams of moving to New York City to become a writer. But her life takes a turn when a fling with a not-too-bright dropout produces a baby and a husband (Steve Zahn). Six years down the road, she is a single mother with no career prospects. After years of perseverance, she realises that she and her son, separated in age by only 15 years, have grown up together, and that the 'obstacles' of child rearing have defined her life. The story goes back and forth in time as it poignantly reveals this unlikely heroine's often humorous, occasionally irreverent, and always unique personal journey to make something of herself.

No sign of Colo. boy who vanished on visit to dad
Thursday - 11/29/2012, 3:15pm EST
By STEVEN K. PAULSON
Associated Press
DENVER (AP) - Dylan Redwine went to visit his dad for Thanksgiving _ not because he wanted to but because a court ordered it as part of his parents' divorce. Then the 13-year-old boy vanished.
More than a week later, police are searching Colorado reservoirs and neighborhoods but still don't know what happened to the boy.
Dylan's father picked him up on Nov. 18 at Durango-La Plata County Airport. The boy announced his arrival in Vallecito in a text message that ended with a scowling emoticon, said Elaine Redwine, his mother.
The next day, while his father ran an errand, he disappeared after setting off to meet friends in the secluded vacation spot high in the mountains near Durango.
Authorities don't believe Dylan ran away. They say he has a cellphone and has not contacted any of his friends in nearby Bayfield, where he previously went to school.
On Thursday, authorities served a search warrant at the father's home.
According to the Durango Herald ( http://bit.ly/TwoGNN), Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the FBI also set up tents and a trailer outside the house. Investigators wearing white scrub-like uniforms made trips in and out of the house and a travel trailer on Thursday.
La Plata County sheriff's spokesman Dan Bender said authorities are focusing on the possibility of foul play but hope that isn't the case.
At this point, they consider their effort to be a search, not a recovery mission, he said. Bender said it was only prudent to search the house and not an indication any suspects have been identified.
"We've been doing a potential criminal investigation, looking at abduction, kidnapping or foul play. We haven't closed out the possibility he has run away and we're still going door to door. We have an absence of clues. It's a mystery, that's what makes it so frustrating," he said.
Bender did not return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking details on the search warrant.
Elaine Redwine told ABC News that she fears Dylan's father, Mark Redwine, might have had a problem with the boy.
"If Dylan maybe did or said something that wasn't what Mark wanted to hear, I'm just afraid of how Mark would have reacted," she said.
Mark Redwine said he didn't want to respond to the fears of his ex-wife.
"I don't want to lash out," he told the Durango Herald.
Police have declined to comment on the suggestion.
The parents did not respond to requests for comment from the AP.
Bender said the parents divorced in 2007, and a court ordered Dylan to live with his mother while granting visitation rights for the father.
Bender refused to comment on the divorce or the suggestion by Elaine Redwine, but said, "If you're the parent of a child and haven't heard from him in several days, that would be difficult for anyone."
Lia Howard, the sister of Elaine Redwine, said the family has told authorities Dylan didn't run away. She also said Dylan wanted to spend Thanksgiving with family members in Castle Rock and was disappointed he had to go to see his father.
Elaine's boyfriend, Mike Hall, who lives with the mother in Colorado Springs, declined to speculate on what might have happened to Dylan.
"I just hope we can get him back," Hall said. "We're very grateful for the support of everyone that's trying to help in that community."
Authorities, including the FBI and Colorado State Police, are using satellites to map neighborhoods and asking the public for any video footage that includes vehicles traveling on main routes between Durango and Vallecito Lake around the time Dylan went missing.
Little has been revealed about the results of the search. A few days ago, there was a spark of hope after part of a fishing pole was found on a dam, prompting a two-day search of the area that turned up empty.
Investigators determined the discovery had no connection to the case after they located the owner of the broken pole.
The missing boy is 5 feet tall, weighs 105 pounds and has blond hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. He was last seen wearing a blue-and-white Duke Blue Devils baseball cap, black Nike T-shirt and black Jordan tennis shoes.
