Kiefer Sutherland responds to Freddie Prinze Jr.'s '24' complaintsAdd to Favorites | 24
Freddie Prinze Jr. may not have happy memories of his time on "24," which he claims are entirely due to Kiefer Sutherland, but the man who plays Jack Bauer doesn't quite remember things the same way.
In an interview with ABC News, Prinze called the experience of working on the show "terrible," adding that Sutherland was "the most unprofessional dude in the world."
Sutherland's rep tells a different story.The rep tells ABC News in a statement, "Kiefer worked with Freddie Prinze, Jr. more than five years ago, and this is the first he has heard of Freddie's grievances. Kiefer enjoyed working with Freddie and wishes him the best."
Though Prinze's character, Cole Ortiz, survived Season 8 of "24," it seems safe to say that he won't be teaming up with Bauer again anytime soon.

I bought this because I live on my own and every penny I save is a major help. My cable bill was cut by about 80%. I had my parents add an extra cable box to their plan and now i only pay the box rental fee, plus a little extra toward their bill. I use it with my phone, tablet, desktop and laptop computers. All of which, barring the desktop, have simple tethering options to mirror the display to my HDTV. I rarely have a problem connecting, when I do, it is always a WiFi issue where the signal momentarily is disrupted, and the set-up could not have been easier. Also, If you plan to do as i have done and leave your Slingbox at somebody else's place, you do not have to connect it to a TV - mine is connected solely to the cable source and the internet. The Slingbox, regardless of which model, is simply one of the most useful devices I have ever owned and i can not recommend it enough to anyone who is interested.

I got this for Christmas. First snag was to get ethernet cable to the box because it is not wireless. Tip: Amazon has a flat ethernet cable for crazy cheap! Then I wanted to use with Roku (which is wireless but only costs $99). (While I'm whining about an awesome gift from a beautiful and thoughtful girlfriend, a Chromecast works great for $35 if you have the right TV and only want to watch what Google wants you to watch.) Second snag was that the Roku box does not really work with Slingbox, but only with the iPhone app. The iPhone app costs $15. (The Roku app for iOS is free.) Third snag. Read carefully. The iPhone app works with Roku. NOT iOS. NOT iPad. So I paid $15 for iPad app which did nothing except play Slingbox content on the iPad. Uninstall the Slingbox channel from Roku. Fourth snag. I had an older Slingbox Pro and paid some huge amount for the iPod app. (Maybe it was $15 but I think that is a lot of money for an app I used once per year.) Well that would not work with the new Slingbox or the Roku. But the clever iOS owner-reader would say what about Airplay? So I have to buy an AppleTV and test Airplay from the iPad app on the TV in order to watch my Slingbox on a TV in another location. It works on my laptop. (Laptop is Mac so I guess it will AirPlay to the AppleTV as well? Whew, something else to research.) So bottom line is that it seems to work in the test environment (e.g. same room with the Slingbox on the same wifi), and it works on the iPad and laptop with noticeable but not infuriatingly frequent pauses, but I have yet to get it to work on the big screen. That is annoying because it costs more than Roku, AppleTV, or Chromecast, and as an end-user, I don't see why it does not work easier and better. I sure don't know how they charge $15 for the iPhone app and another $15 for the iPad app and another $15 for the android app when everyone else give the app to encourage you to buy the gadget. The picture is ok, but I'm using a SD source. I tried HD with my old box, but the Internet never was up to the task, so I never even tried it. My old box had a cool upside down U that blinked when it was sending out the signal, the new box has a single light. Oh, when the warranty runs out, just toss the thing when it stops working, their tech support is pay-as-you-go. Even when it bricks after an update which is entirely their fault. If there was something better, I would have it (unless it is that $35,000 digital first-run movie box). So, meh, it works.

Slingbox ADs a BAD IDEA

Primary TV
By Powarun

Have been using this for over a year, works awesome. I have used the iOS, Android, PC Chrome, OS X Chrome, Safari, and Fire TV streaming. really like the fact that the Fire TV is a stand alone app, just wish the guide would show up, iOS and Android have great mobile interfaces, and with the browser support, Chrome is the best. Safari has been getting such stupid ads lately which is why I can't give it a 5 star rating. Lately been having issues, only because both ISP's are having network difficulties.
By Corky
from WV, United States
I've owned it about a year. I have 8mbs up and 1 mb. down. I can't even sling it from the living room for any amount of time. Buffers constantly. Very laggy control. Use on Ipad3 and Roku 3. Just doesn't perform. Frustrating. If it did what they say it does it would be a nice unit. And maybe it does if you have a very fast internet connection.

Picture looks great through my MacBook and the iPhone app. Should've purchased years ago!!

Get the M1
By howdydooit
from Maryland, United States
I just recently got this to add to my network, and an existing Pro HD. Generally, setup couldn't be easier, and I love being able to invite users to the unit via email, as I have two young adult kids that get to benefit, and it's a lot less gymnastics setting it up with a simple email. I personally mostly use this on my home network through a MOCA bridge. Video quality is OK, nothing special. It's about par with my Pro HD, even though that's WiFi and specs out as lower resolution output. I am also able to use the integrated IR blaster, which is one less wire. The big 2 things that drop the 350 down in my eyes are the browser experience. First, I can't use my 64 bit browser, which is the most personalized, but the real problem is the Slinbox browser player is not comparable in user experience - even slightly - to the software player. That's why my title says "Get a M1" - it supports a dedicated player app. As my second Slingbox, I can put up with it. I will keep it as a secondary box to the older Pro-HD. The browser window takes up too much space with useless borders. You can't hide the controls unless you go with a popup player full screen. If you go with the popup player, you can't resize it properly. I typically have 2 monitors in my home office. If I get really busy, I can dynamically resize the Pro HD player to the size I want and put it in a corner. I can hide the controls, menu, and borders in video only mode. I can use keyboard shortcuts to resize it, zoom it, bring up and hide the remote, and, most importantly, I can make it stay on top of other applications. There's no way you can make the browser stay on top, nor would you want to, because it takes up so much space. Another browser issue - when you are using the traditional browser, or the popup browser player, and you shrink the player to give you space for other things, too high of a percentage of the space dedicated to the player is not the actual video. Sometimes, the browser will blank out for a second. Every time I hover over the signal meter to check bandwidth, it always blanks out and sometimes disconnects from the slingbox. I get W200 errors all the time, and I'm hard wired to the router and between the router and the slingbox via MOCA. The browser is clunky at best. It forces me to use a browser I don't use for anything else (IE), just so I can also keep using my preferred browser simultaneously (Waterfox - the 64 bit version of Firefox). The Slingbox has great utility. If you've never had the luxury of knowing what a real player feels like, or If you're a casual user you might not miss it. That said, after buying my first car with power windows, I never went back to a hand crank.

Platinum VIP Meet and Greet Packages
I purchased VIP Meet and Greet tickets for my daughter and I and I had a couple questions. We've done several other M&G's with other bands, but from what I've been told, Korn's is a bit different.
First, at other shows the band lines up and takes a group photo with each person individually. I keep hearing that JD does not allow pictures of himself. Is this the case and if so, do the other members let you grab a quick photo?
Second, I know that you get a autographed set list. But at other M&G's we've done the band would always sign other items like your pass or tshirt. Does Korn do this as well or are you limited to the set list which is usually signed before you even get there?
Thanks for any help, and keep rock'n!

I bought two tickets, vip, and kage.. oh not including transportation, it aint pretty, but its for the band i love.
I have known that JD doesnt take pics and thats ok, i took pictures of him. I was just glad to finally be face to face to the guy who came up with those sick lyrics that helped me get by difficult times in my life.. JD only takes pics if its for his meet and greet, but its more expensive..still worth i would say.
Glad you had fun!

BRITISH MPs are becoming increasingly frustrated by scientists' failure to agree on the health risks of piping largely untreated sewage into the sea. Sir Hugh Rossi, the chairman of the House of Commons Environment Committee, voiced his concern last week as the all-party group continued an investigation into beach pollution.
The committee listened, sometimes with ill-concealed exasperation, to an argument between Lancashire County Council and North West Water over a plan by the water company to build a long sea outfall at Fylde. The aim would be to protect some of northwest England's most important but polluted beaches, including Blackpool.
Three-quarters of England and Wales's bathing beaches comply with standards set by the European Commission, according to the latest survey. But two-thirds of the beaches in North West Water's region failed to meet the standards, which are mainly assessed on the presence of faecal coliforms, an indicator of sewage contamination. ...

Qutab Minar, the 239ft sandstone tower is an Indo-Islamic architectural wonder of ancient India. This magnificent tower of victory stands in the Qutab Complex located at Aurabindo Marg, near Mehrauli, 14 Km south of Connaught place in Delhi, India.
About the Qutub Minar : -
Qutubuddin Aibak laid the foundation of Qutab Minar, as a victory tower, in 1199 AD. Originally, it rose to a height of 72.5 m. It is undoubtedly one of the finest stone towers in India and one of the most important landmarks of Delhi. Iltutmish, the son-in-law and successor of Qutubuddin, completed its construction. Nearby, one can also see the ruins of the Tomb of Iltutmish. He built it in 1235 AD, during his own lifetime, and decorated the interiors profusely, using calligraphy. The tower tapers from a base of 14.32 m to 2.75 m at its top and took 20 years to complete.
Built in red sandstone, this tower sports the inscriptions of verses
of Holy Quran and some intricate carvings. We can also see the ruins
of the embattlements of the city called 'Siri' here. It was
established in 1303 AD by Ala-ud-Din, who dug a vast reservoir in Hauz
Khas to supply water to his city. Though nothing much of the city
remains to be seen, it has been described by the contemporary
historians as the 'envy of Baghdad, the rival of Cairo and equal to
Constantinople'. Besides these, one can also see the tomb of Adham
Khan and Zafar Mahal within Qutub complex and the tomb of
Jamali-Kamali behind it.

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. The Ouya and the GameStick are like the Deep Impact and Armageddon of Android-based microconsoles. They're so similar that it might be hard to parse the differences between the two, let alone in an increasingly crowded alternative console market that relies on digital downloads (as opposed to buying games on a disc). Ouya releases June 4 for $99 and GameStick ships in late April or early May for $79. Both were present at the annual Game Developers Conference last week in San Francisco, where we spent a little time with the miniature devices and their games. But we all know that consoles are more than just their specifications, so here's what you can expect when you plug in the Ouya and GameStick to your television. Hover over the gallery below to see the comparison: Gallery: GalleryAbove: While the square-shaped GameStick controller doesn't look comfortable with its wide, angular edges, it feels light and sturdy. The two shoulder buttons (one on each side) have a satisfying click to them: They're not as squishy as the PlayStation 3's DualShock 3, but they're also not as firm as the Xbox 360 triggers.Image Credit: Giancarlo Valdes


text: Goodwood's renowned 1.86km Hill Climb, centre piece of the British stately home's annual Festival of Speed, has been announced as a new track to feature on the forthcoming Gran Turismo®6 for PlayStation®3.The Goodwood Festival of Speed has an enviable international reputation as a celebration of all things automotive and motor sport. The annual event, held at the family home of the Earl of March, features an array of cars that spans from the beginnings of the automotive industry at the end of 19th century to the very latest cars proudly displayed by the manufacturers. The range and scope of the event is mirrored by Polyphony Digital's aspirations for "The Real Driving Simulator"."I have always been a huge admirer of the Festival of Speed and what Lord March has achieved," explains Polyphony Digital President and legendary creator of Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamauchi, who will don his own race suit and helmet to pilot a number of cars up the famous Hill at Goodwood. "I love the incredible range of cars on display – from the priceless, rare and exotic, to the latest family hatchback and full on racing cars – I love the challenge of the Hill Climb and the rally stage. Goodwood represents every type of motoring and motor sport which very much mirrors what we aim to achieve with Gran Turismo and so it is very special that we have forged this partnership. There will be no better feedback than that provided by the Goodwood fans to tell me if we are heading in the right direction with Gran Turismo 6!"

Starkville School District officials confirmed numerous amendments could be made to a state House bill that would preserve SSD administrators as the guiding forces behind a potential school merger.
Discussions between SSD Superintendent Lewis Holloway, school board members and legislators began Friday after state Rep. Toby Barker filed Miss. H.B. 716, a bill that calls for the creation of the Starkville Consolidated School District following a merger between SSD and the Oktibbeha County School District.
Holloway confirmed the potential amendments Tuesday but also noted details of the bill are not yet finalized.
In an AlertNow email sent to school district stakeholders, SSD confirmed potential amendments could provide provisions to allow for the current school board to remain in place, but future boards would be made up of three city-appointed seats, one county-appointed seat and an elected seat. The term that expires in March 2015, the alert said, would be appointed by the Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors, while three other non-elected seats would be chosen by the Starkville Board of Aldermen. The district's elected seat, held by SSD Board of Trustees President Keith Coble, would remain an elected seat from added territory outside the city limits but inside the boundaries of the current school district. Potential provisions would also allow Holloway and his administration to remain in place during consolidation.
Potential amendments would also allow school district boundaries and attendance zones to remain in place. Students would continue to attend schools as defined by those zones. Both districts would also receive separate accountability ratings for the next five years, according to the AlertNow email.
Under the proposed changes, the consolidated district would officially form July 1, 2015. Merger planning, however, would begin immediately if Miss. H.B. 716 is passed.
Holloway was quick to note during the press conference yesterday that many hurdles remain before the legislature makes a decision on the bill, including a Tuesday House Education subcommittee deadline.
The district and school board have not adopted an official position on the bill.
"Legislators have tried to work with us to make this bill better for Starkville. No one from the school board has approved this action, nor are (legislators) asking us to approve it," Holloway said. "Our position is to do the best we can to protect Starkville and our students' long-term interests if a bill like this is going to move forward."
Gaps in infrastructure, technology and assessment exist between the two organizations, and funding issues remain as the legislature works over the bill. As filed, it would allocate $1 million to the new district in yearly $200,000 lump sums. Monday, Rep. Gary Chism agreed extra funding should be provided to give the new district a fighting chance.
SSD officials have requested additional funding, but a dollar amount has not been finalized. As a consolidated district, Starkville would receive the county's MAEP allotment from the state, federal funds currently provided to the county and the county's ad valorem returns.
"It's all verbal discussions right now," Holloway said. "We pointed out several items that need to be addressed, (including) facilities — which are major issues for some county schools — technology, SMART Boards, laptops and assessment systems. If this bill comes to be … (OCSD needs) to be moving, as a school district, to be more like ours. We think it would be important to immediately give MAP testing to set baselines for growth."
The district also has other concerns, Holloway said, including potential personnel within the county district. The district has asked to have the same authority as its conservator during a merger and said legislators "would think about that."
"We are very concerned about the outcome (of a merger) on Starkville. We've worked very hard to get Starkville where it is now and how it is serving our students," Holloway said. "Where it goes from here, we really can't predict. We still think it can be changed and we hope the legislature remains mindful."
When contacted last week, Barker said public opinions in Starkville and Oktibbeha County would be solicited as the bill progressed. Holloway said Tuesday he has not heard of any organized effort by legislators to start dialogue on a possible school merger.
Calls to Barker went unreturned Tuesday.
"I think a lot of politics are going on. I'm not against consolidation in general because in some areas it makes sense; however, forced consolidation, I am not in favor of," Holloway said. "I know people are emailing and calling their legislators. I would say to voters if they want to be heard, now is the time to do so."
Miss. Rep. Tyrone Ellis, a Democrat, said Tuesday he discussed the potential amendments' language with Barker. Both Ellis and Chism, a Republican, say they are in favor of consolidating Oktibbeha County schools.
"If we are fortunate enough to get the consolidation in Starkville and Oktibbeha County, we will be able to provide type of education for all county students necessary to provide a trainable workforce to help enhance economic and industrial development. You have to have a skilled labor pool able to draw from for economic development. You can't just reach out of the sky and get someone that's not educated, and industry people are having trouble with that," Ellis said. "The major issue is having access to quality education in the city and the county. Why would we sit back and allow this type of inequity to exist in our county? We're better than that."
"The legislature knows we're asking (SSD) to take a big chunk in regard to taking over another school district. They asked for time, governance and money; we're doing our best to accommodate all of that. We're attempting to be as considerate as possible," Chism added. "The stigma of being taken over indicates a lot of things were wrong (at OCSD), and I think a successful Starkville school system, maybe even with help from Mississippi State University, can really enhance the children of Oktibbeha County and give them an equal education as everyone deserves."
If Miss. H.B. 716 passes subcommittee Tuesday, it will be sent to the full House. If passed by House, the bill would then go to the state Senate. Should both the House and Senate have different versions of the bill, a conference committee between the two chambers would be needed to reach a mutual agreement. The amended version will not be posted online for public view until it has been approved by the full House Education Committee.

Critical masses have been measured for enriched-uranium-metal cylinders reflected on both ends and on one end only by multiple layers of two and three of the metals Cu, Fe, Zn, Ni, and stainless steel. For other measurements the core was partially moderated with graphite and with polyethylene so as to give the influence of decreased neutron energy upon reflector savings of the multiple reflectors. Critical mass values with composite reflectors are less than the simple averages of values for the elements alone. This reduction of critical mass, most pronounced for the Ni-Fe reflectors, is primarily due to the fact that the self-shielding of the scattering resonances in medium-Z elements is appreciable when one-element reflectors are used, and is reduced when two or more of these elements are mixed in the reflectors.

Major love for Bonnie: Blame Bonnie Blue!
So I watched Gone with the Wind properly for the first time today. I'd seen a lot of it; but not in one sitting before. Anyway I became smitten with Cammie King playing Bonnie Blue, I know that isn't her real name; but they barely used it anyhow. Its also a real trustworthy, sweet friend of mine and I am loving it so much that I am considering Bonnie Emmeline (and something else-undecided at present.) Emmeline would be a variation of Emily, my middle name, but I love it anyhow.
Do you think Bonnie would be nice with a sister Magnolia?
I am thinking (roughly
Magnolia ....... Brielle
Bonnie Emmeline .....
Brielle would honour a Briony and a Isabella whom I call Belle.
Thoughts? Two middle names is tradition in our family

"Mmmhmm," the blood elf agreed. Lolegolas sat on a barstool using an oiled rag to clean the chamber of his massive gun. The weapon was incredibly masculine, covered in duct tape and saw blades.
"We need to talk," Throgg said, sitting down next to his friend. He rested a massive hand on the elf's shoulders. "The Crossfire Carbine ... it's not what you think it is. There's something you should know."
Lolegolas cocked an eyebrow at the orc, tilting his head slightly to the side. "It's an immense DPS increase, is what it is. What's to know about that?"
"It's not for hunters," Throgg commiserated. "It has a lot of strength. It's only a hunter weapon in the sense that it's a 'hunter weapon,' you know?"
"Oh, dear," Lolegolas responded, massaging his temples. "Here we go again."

Italian forensic policeman arrive at the house of Giovanni Vantaggiato in Copertino, 50 km south from Brindisi, on June 7 2012. (AFP PHOTO / CONTROLUCE)
BRINDISI, Italy: The trial of a man charged with carrying out an Italian school bombing that killed a teenage girl and wounded five others opened on Thursday.
Giovanni Vantaggiato, husband and father of two, is accused of murder and attempting to commit a massacre by exploding the bomb on May 19 as pupils were entering the school in the southern Italian city of Brindisi.
Vantaggiato, 69, who has lost a lot of weight during his detention and is in very poor health, insisted on being present at the hearing.
The blast, caused by a bomb made from three gas canisters, killed 16-year-old Melissa Bassi and wounded five other students, who suffered burns and other injuries.
Bassi's parents and several of the other students who were wounded were present in court.
"I couldn't sleep last night. I want to look him in the eye," said Azzurra Camarda, one of the victims, as she entered the court.
Vantaggiato, who owns a fuel depot, told investigators he was having financial difficulties after being swindled out of 400,000 euros ($534,000), and several of his clients -- including the school -- had cancelled their contracts with him.
He admitted to having made the bomb and tested the detonator the night before the attack, before installing the device in front of the Brindisi school and setting it off the next morning.
The attack -- the first against a school in Italy -- shocked the nation, sparking comparisons with the terrorist bombings in the 1970s.

3.0 out of 5 stars Myths and People of the Organic Movement,
J. Drury (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Organic, Inc.: Natural Foods and How They Grew (Hardcover)
As a vegetarian who eats almost strictly organic food, I thought what a great topic to write a book review on for a University course. Not knowing much what the "organic" label really meant on the food I ate, this book was a welcome eye opener into the organic movement and the players involved. The author Fromartz traveled extensively across the USA while doing research for this book, meeting the farmers and corporations who are responsible for putting "organic" food on our tables. We are introduced to two main ideologies of the organic movement; one being simple agrarianism and back to the land simplicity; another, following big food business that has been quickly infiltrating the organic market in the search for large profits while at the same time watering down the "organic" brand. If you eat organic food, and never really questioned where it came from, this book is truly necessary. If you don't yet eat organic food, but would like to know the truth behind the label, this is an important book for you as well. The author describes the history of the organic movement and how it arose as a reaction to industrialized agriculture, and how now it is in danger of becoming that which it originally rose against.

The Ohio State University student-built Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2 electric vehicle set a new FIA world record of 307.7mph (495.2km/h) at Bonneville Salt Flats. The Bullet 2 was built at Ohio State University's Center for Automotive Research with assistance from Venturi, a Monaco-based electric vehicle manufacturer.
The speed record still has to be ratified by the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) but the previous record of 245.5mph (395.1km/h) has clearly been shattered.
This Buckeye Bullet 2 is actually version 2.5, powered by A123 lithium-ion battery cells, reportedly using 1600 cells that can put out 600kW (800hp). Buckeye Bullet Version 2 was powered by a Ballard hydrogen fuel cell and achieved a speed of 314.9mph (506.8km/h) in 2004 but it failed to satisfy FIA requirements to claim an electric vehicle world record run, but it does hold the hydrogen fuel cell powered world record of 302.9 (498.5km/h), set in September 2009.

Guitarist John Williams plays HK Cultural Centre on October 5
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department presents John Williams, one of the finest classical guitarists of his generation, in a solo recital at the Concert Hall of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre on Sunday, October 5 at 8.30pm.
The programme includes Bach's "Lute Suite No. 4", Sculthorpe's "Djilile", Granados' "Valses Poeticos", the guitarist's own "Malinke Guitars" many other compositions.
The South China Morning Post described a previous Hong Kong concert by Williams, who was born in Australia in 1941, as " a revelatory musical experience, combining mastery and depth of musical maturity."
The breadth of Williams' musical enthusiasms is evident from his list of past collaborators: Julian Bream, Itzhak Perlman, Andre Previn, Cleo Laine and John Dankworth, SKY, Attacca and The National Youth Jazz Orchestra. Among his best-selling recordings are Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez", "John Williams Plays the Movies" and "The Guitarist". He has also been heard on the soundtracks of films such as "The Deerhunter" (Cavatina) and "A Fish Called Wanda".
Recent concert tours have taken him to the UK, the United States, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Germany. He is currently working on a CD of Venezuelan music for release this autumn.
Tickets for "Guitar Recital by John Williams", priced at $480, $380, $280 and $180, are available at all URBTIX outlets. Half-price concessions will be granted to senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients.

Mbanza Kongo — The northern Zaire province may have a good harvest in the 2012 season, said the chairman of the National Association of Angolan Peasants (Unac) in the region, Amélia Alice Kalassi, Angop learnt.
She said that despite the drought that hit the region between September 2011 and February 2012, the harvest there will reach 50 per cent of the global planned.
"We expect a good harvest, taking into account the arable soils and the seeds on the land", she said.
Unaca has under its control in northern Zaire province a total of 20,260 members grouped in 281 associations and 129 cooperatives.

Pittsburgh Man Pleads No Contest On Firearms Charge
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - A resident of Pittsburgh pleaded no contest in federal court to a charge of violating federal firearm laws, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Ernest Thomas Harris, a/k/a Pickle, a/k/a Michael Young, a/k/a Michael Ford, 42, pleaded no contest yesterday to one count before United States District Judge Nora Barry Fischer.
In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that Harris was on video brandishing a loaded 40 S&W caliber semiautomatic Glock pistol at the Aces and Deuces bar located at 1400 Fifth Avenue in the Hill District section of Pittsburgh on June 1, 2011. Harris had been previously convicted of nine different felony charges at three cases in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County and one case in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The convictions were for charges involving stolen property, theft, drug dealing, threats and firearms. Federal law prohibits anyone who has been convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year from possessing ammunition or a firearm.
Judge Fischer noted that a date and time for sentencing would be announced. The law provides for a total sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the criminal history of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Ross E. Lenhardt is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government and indicated that the defendant is facing a sentencing guideline range at or near the maximum sentence of 10 years.
The gun in this matter was matched by the Allegheny County Crime lab to the one used during the April 6, 2011, murder of 19 year-old Stephon Green in the Hill District. Of the persons allegedly present at the scene of the murder, three have been indicted federally on firearms charges. In addition to Harris, Kedron "Hoody" Turner faces a minimum of 15 years imprisonment as a result of his June 24, 2010 possession of a 9mm caliber firearm and Calvin "CK" Kane, III faces up to 10 years imprisonment as a result of his Feb. 25, 2011, possession of a 45 Auto caliber firearm.
Individuals with information on the murder of Stephon Green are asked to call the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Homicide Section at 412-323-7161.

Summer has officially come to its end but the true colors of Autumn won't show for at least a month. Nevertheless, temperatures are going to drop bit by bit until we feel that crisp, evening air indicative of change. Those of us with gardens have already noticed that change with fewer flowers and much less bird song. Before we know it, Maples will be crowned with a brilliant array of orange, yellow, and flaming red leaves. The backyard will be carpeted with them and the grass will cease to grow.
Those backyard changes make it one of the best times of the year for putting greenman sculptures on display. The lack of foliage draws the eye to these curious, nature-themed works of art and gives the backyard a mystical, Druid-inspired touch. The earthy tones of the Oak King Greenman Wall Sculpture will match the light brown of Autumn leaves. Like an old, mighty oak, his piercing eyes display the wisdom of ancient trees.
The Somerset Greenwoman sculpture will keep the memory of summer alive with her ivy-green and light brown colors. Her lifelike face will fascinate visitors to the backyard well into winter.
Save on garden fairies for the fall, these unique sculptures, and other beautiful garden statuary at Design Toscano.

Worm: Wenatchee's ties to the Fireballs
Remember Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs? Well, neither did the Worm. But a quick listen to a Youtube recording of Sugar Shack, and the memories come floating back. So, what's that have to do with Wenatchee? Turns out, Gilmer's sister lives here.
The World's librarian and chief researcher Linda Barta happens to be reading "Echoes of the Sixties," a profile of 43 composers and performers who influenced "an entire generation," according to the book. Written by Marti Smiley Childs and Jeff March, the book was first published in 1999 by Billboard Books, and released last year electronically.
In it, the authors interviewed Gilmer, and he mentions his sister, Jane, who lives in Wenatchee with her husband, Don Reichert.
Linda, being the researcher that she is, decided to check out the tie, and found that his mother, Elizabeth Gilmer, lived in East Wenatchee, moving here a few years before she died in 2005.
Survivors included her daughter, Jane Reichert, of Wenatchee, and "James A. 'Jimmy' Gilmer of Nashville, Tenn." Attempts to locate Jane were unsuccessful, but if you see her, you might tell her the Worm is looking for her to ask about being the sister of someone deemed to influence a generation of us who grew up in the 1960s.
Just wondering how much he influenced his own sister. Or, perhaps, she influenced him?

Sophia loves to cook with me. For her it's all about the process. She might not enjoy the food she made but she enjoys the mixing, the mashing, and the measuring. She likes to create--just like her mom!
When it came time to narrow down her choices, Sophia picked the Soft-Boiled Egg with "Italian Soldiers" and Potato Pizzette Bites. We added a salad and it was an easy dinner.
For the Soft-Boiled Egg with Italian Soliders, we wrapped prosciutto around some honey whole wheat pretzel sticks. The recipe called for breadsticks but I couldn't find any at Trader Joe's so pretzel sticks it was. I don't know about you, any recipe that calls for prosciutto is a winner. Apparently, Sophia has the same tastes as I, since I had to keep her from eating all of it so we could wrap the pretzel sticks.
I attempted to cook soft-boiled eggs. FAIL. Apparently I can't do it. I tried 2 batches. But we ate the eggs anyway. We didn't have egg cups, and since the photo in the cookbook showed eggs in cute polka-dot egg cups, I made some out of our empty egg carton. It worked!
Overall, this was a very simple but tasty. We were supposed to dip the Italian soldiers (the prosciutto wrapped sticks) into the runny eggs. I'm not sure how Sophia would like runny yolks but she wanted to try it out.
Next, we made the Potato Pizzette Bites. These would also make a great appetizer for a party. Basically, you cut thin slices of potatoes and bake them in the oven. These become the "crust" of your pizza. After you slice the taters, brush with oil and bake for 10 minutes.
After the first bake, we put the toppings on. Karmel's recipe calls for sauce and cheese. Since we had prosciutto from the previous recipe we added that. Sophia doesn't like tomato sauce so we omitted that on hers. She also discovered rosemary that day so we sprinkled chopped rosemary onto her pizzettes. Then just stick back into the oven to melt everything. (Check out her nail polish job! LOL)
I cooked some mushrooms in butter and garlic with a splash of balsamic vinegar for the grown-up pizzettes. These were a hit with everyone! My tip is to try to cut the potatoes as evenly as possible so they all cook at the same rate.
Potato Pizzette Bites courtesy of Top 100 Finger Foods: 100 Recipes for a Healthy, Happy Child by Annabel Karmel
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Cut 8 large slices of potato, each around 1/12" thick, cutting crosswise from the center of the potato. You won't need the thinner end bits of the potato, but these will keep up for 2 days in the fridge, covered with cold water, and can be used for mashed or boiled potatoes.
Brush each potato slice with the oil and season with a little salt and pepper. lay the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes Turn the slices over and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and crisp. Watch carefully for the last 2 to 3 minutes.
Top each potato slice with around 1 teaspoon of the tomato sauce and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes more or broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Let cool slightly before serving.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Fragile efforts to ignite a gas tax debate in the 2013 Legislature will flame out if urban lawmakers try to inject a rewrite of the formula for distributing road-use tax fund revenues into the mix, backers and skeptics agree.
With the next election nearly two years away, supporters of increasing the state's motor fuel user fee – as Gov. Terry Branstad prefers to call it – see the 2013 legislative session as offering a 50-50 shot at best to bump up rates for the first time since 1989.
Currently, motorists who fill their tanks at Iowa pumps pay state taxes of 21 cents a gallon for regular gasoline, 19 cents on each gallon of ethanol-blended gasoline, and 22.5 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. Each penny increase in the state gas tax would raises $23 million in revenue and cost Iowans about $4.75 in yearly fuel expenditures. Proceeds from Iowa gas tax are distributed via a formula that provides 47.5 percent to the state's primary road fund for use on interstate highways and state-owned roads, 24.5 percent to the secondary roads, 20 percent to cities, and 8 percent to farm-to-market roads.
A TIME-21 initiative approved several years ago by lawmakers routed new transportation-related revenue from higher vehicle fees to the highway network by distributing 60 percent to the state system and 20 percent each to cities and counties but capped it at $250 million annually. Now some urban legislators say they would like to revisit the structure of the road-used tax distribution formula as part of a comprehensive review if they are to consider changing the current fee schedule.
Branstad and top lawmakers say that would open an urban-rural split that would stop the issue cold.
"Forget it," Branstad said in a recent interview, noting that the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation's key backing for a motor fuel use fee increase would dissipate if road-use tax money for rural areas was lessened at a time when a proliferation of ethanol plants and more value-added processing is creating a greater reliance and stress on Iowa's infrastructure network. "Are you kidding me? There's no chance that's going to happen. It's going nowhere."
Sen. Matt McCoy, D-Des Moines, a key backer of a gas tax increase, agreed that trying to reconfigure the formula on an issue already struggling to find 51 affirmative votes in the Iowa House and 26 yes votes in the Iowa Senate would be a sure-fire course for failure.
"I already think this thing is very fragile as it is now and I think it would only become more fragile if you tried to change the formula," said McCoy, who expected a gas tax increase would have to win legislative approval in 2013 if it's going to happen during the 85th General Assembly. "It's a tough go, but I can tell you, if doesn't happen now, it won't happen next year. So I can just assure you this has got to be the year for it."
Dan Culhane of the Ames Chamber of Commerce said a nonpartisan alliance of the state's top 16 chambers and economic development organizations see updating and repairing Iowa's transportation infrastructure as central to growth efforts. The Iowa Chamber Alliance would support a gas tax hike of up to 15 cents a gallon provided the TIME-21 cap is removed and consideration is given to distributing needed dollars to Iowa's most-traveled roads.
For the current fiscal year, Stuart Anderson, director of planning and programming for the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), said his agency is forecasting the state road use tax fund -- which annually takes in $470 million from various vehicle-related fees and $430 million from fuel taxes -- will provide about $1 billion to be distributed through the regular formula and about $137.6 million will flow through the TIME-21 fund. DOT projections indicate the state faces a yearly $215 million shortfall just to address the most critical needs for a system comprised of 114,000 miles of roadway and 25,000 structures.
Senate Republican Leader Bill Dix of Shell Rock said the public is beginning to recognize that infrastructure upgrades are part of the long-term challenges facing the state's economic growth. He said raising the state gas tax remains a "minority viewpoint" among legislators, but it is "an idea that is gaining support" although it is still short of the votes needed for passage and would "move backwards" if there was a push to change the road-use tax distribution formula.
Overall, Dix said legislative Republicans want to see Iowans' tax burdens reduced during the 2013 session and a gas tax increase may "get some traction" within the context of that big-picture discussion of providing significant relief to taxpayers.
House Democratic Leader Kevin McCarthy of Des Moines said reaching a bipartisan agreement on the gas tax issue will require leadership from Branstad, which has not happened to date, and a change in the percentage of road funds generated by out-of-state drivers. He also did not want to see a proposed gas tax hike coupled with other tax-policy changes, saying "that complicated the complicated."
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said injecting the road tax distribution formula into a gas tax discussion would be "a prescription for killing it." He said passage of a gas tax increase in the Iowa Senate will require a majority of both caucuses – meaning 14 Democrats and 13 Republicans.
"If there is broad and deep bipartisan support, this can move forward. If there's not, it's dead," he said.
McCoy said the fact that Democrat Leonard Boswell came out in support of a federal gas tax increase, which was used in TV ads by GOP opponent Tom Latham to defeat him in a November 2012 matchup of two incumbent congressmen probably has created problems in convincing state legislators to back a state tax hike when "it's easier to vote no than to vote yes."
He also sees mixed messages from the governor, who told a taxpayer group in December he's not going to lead the charge for a gas tax increase but has not indicated that he would veto one either. "I think he's sending a message to Republicans that if they want to flake off on this that he's not going to be pulling them to his office trying to put the votes together for it," McCoy said.
Branstad said the fact that pump prices in Iowa have hovered around or dropped below $3 per gallon probably is helping those pushing for a motor fuel user fee increase in 2013 that would hit commuters and border towns the hardest. At the same time, he hasn't sensed a groundswell of support building for passage once the split-control Legislature convenes on Jan. 14 for its scheduled 110-day session.
"I haven't heard anybody talk realistically about anything that's likely to happen," the five-term GOP governor said in an interview. "They have to have their act together and I don't see that. I'm not threatening a veto, but I'm saying I've got other things I'm going to focus on."

The Bachelor
Has Courtney Robertson Moved In With Ben Flajnik?
The latest issue of Us Weekly is claiming that Bachelor 16 winner Courtney Robertson has moved in with fiance Ben Flajnik.
Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, Us, but Courtney told Wetpaint Entertainment exclusively last week that the two aren't making any immediate plans to play house.
I'm hopeful it will happen by summer. We're not in a rush, but neither of us wants to be in a long distance relationship for very long. For now, we have a lot of fun, little trips planned. But I do love San Francisco and can definitely see having a happy life there with Ben.
Courtney spent St. Patrick's Day weekend with her new man and his little man, dog Scotch, taking in the sunny day and later getting drinks and dinner with friends. She even spent time bonding with Ben's sister, Julia, who tweeted a pic of their "#1stdoubledate"...
So while they won't be playing house anytime soon, the couple is very much taking steps towards rekindling whatever romance was lost in the tumultuous time during the airing of the season.
Need your daily dose of The Bachelor? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. After all, you'd get our final rose.

Regarding our development plan we are planning on starting a Kickstarter project for the game when we have finished our trailer which we are expecting to have released in 1-2 weeks. From then on we expect to take about 8 months for development time. In addition to the story mode we are planning on doing some kickstarter exclusive zombie invasion maps where you try to see how long you can hold off against zombie waves! This is for my LMS fans ;D In addition if we reach certain funding thresholds we'll be adding new features such as a Mac build, coop, and potentially even release the source code so people can make their own commercial games.

The December 13th Show with calimer solo and a runtime of 27 minutes. Platinum Arts has now created an Internet Radio Show called Premium Indie Entertainment...
the game is great! unfortunately there's not enough servers and I cant host :(
for Version 1.0 coming out soon
Awesome Mod, play it loads with my brother!
looks fantastic, but watching and waiting for Mac compatiblity....
This sounds pretty cool. I have a question: Will there ever be a split screen coop? That'd be cool because none of my friends have this game at their home computers (becuase their parents don't let them get Doom 3) so I can't play coop with my friends unless there is a split-screen coop. Just a suggestion...
Demo was awsome im glad to see at least some good DooM mods coming out pitty my bro wont let me get it :'(.
Doh, nevermind. Just saw the FAQ site now.
Sorry if I missed something, but how do you play the Doom 3 singleplayer maps in this mod? The only ones I can find are the maps that the team have done.
Thanks for any reply.
Just downloaded it and played the mod. I have immensely impressed. My only negative comment is that there are very few LMS servers out there. Is there a way to filter out the other servers to have just LMS showing?
Great work people.
DLED IN NOW AHAhAhAhAHAHAHAHAHAH

WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Eat Nakd
You'd be forgiven for thinking we'd gone all naturist over here, what with yesterday's barefoot running and the innuendo-laden delights of www.eatnakd.com today.
But no - we're just trying to take a bit better care of ourselves, and with most of the office being cursed with a sweet tooth, we just had to take a closer look at the healthy snack options on display here.
It's all too easy to add a cinnamon swirl or an almond croissant to that mid-morning coffee order, but there are alternatives if you're trying to keep in shape. The Natural Balance Food Company do a range of yummy snacks to suit all tastes and they're not loaded with nasties, just wholesome, healthy stuff, arranged to make snacks that don't taste like the bottom of a parrot's cage.
The "Shock Olate" range is the one that's really caught our eye and buying online gives you some half decent savings too.

A former student of Park University associate professor John Lofflin,
Cox learned and practiced his craft as a student. He was co-editor of
The Park Stylus, earning the title of Missouri College Newspaper
Association Journalist of the Year his junior year. During his senior
year he wrote his first book, The Beverly Hillbillies, about the
television classic. Twenty-one books have followed, covering subjects on
pop culture and favorite classic television series and films. His most
recent, The Incredible Mr. Don Knotts, co-authored with Kevin Marhanka,
was published in 2008. Additional works such as Here on Gilligan's Isle,
The Munsters, The Addams Chronicles, The Hooterville Handbook: A
Viewer's Guide to Green Acres and Dreaming of Jeannie have become
favorites of television viewers who grew up watching these shows.
Several of his books star beloved classic film characters. The
Munchkins of Oz, and One Fine Stooge: Larry Fine's Frizzy Life in
Pictures tell the tales of the actors from those early movies.Cox worked
closely with actor Buddy Ebsen (Beverly Hillbillies and The Wizard of
Oz) to write his autobiography, The Other Side of Oz. He enlisted the
help of Lofflin to write The Abbott and Costello Story.
Using the interview skills he honed at his alma mater, Cox has
interviewed and written about some of the world's best-known
celebrities. Cox especially cherishes his interviews with radio and TV
pioneer George Burns, British comedian Benny Hill, actor Mickey Rooney,
