BUFORD -- The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center Foundation will host a free screening Friday of a new film, "Green Fire," a documentary about conservationist Aldo Leopold.
The film explores Leopold's life in the early part of the 20th century and the ways in which his land ethic idea continues to be applied throughout the world.
"Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time" is a production of the Aldo Leopold Foundation, the U.S. Forest Service and the Center for Humans and Nature.
The screening at the Environmental and Heritage Center in Buford will be the Atlanta area premiere of the film, which is being shown in community screening venues throughout the year. It will be released on public television in early 2012.
"Aldo Leopold's legacy lives on today in the work of people and organizations across the nation and around the world," Aldo Leopold Foundation Executive Director Buddy Huffaker said. "What is exciting about 'Green Fire' is that it is more than just a documentary about Aldo Leopold; it also explores the influence his ideas have had in shaping the conservation movement as we know it today by highlighting some really inspiring people and organizations doing great work to connect people and the natural world in ways that even Leopold might not have imagined."
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a reception sponsored by Chocolate Perks of Duluth and an exhibit preview by Kate Gilman titled "No Idling Campaign."
The film screening begins at 7 p.m. and will include an introduction and question-and-answer session with Huffaker, who also served as the film's executive producer.
Those who wish to attend are asked to reserve a seat today by calling 770-904-3500.
The Environmental and Heritage Center is located at 2020 Clean Water Drive in Buford, off of Plunkett Road. For more information, visit www.gwinnettehc.org.

A group of Congolese individuals who are believed to have robbed close to one million US dollars from a DRC bank were arrested by Rwandan intelligence officials after they illegally crossed from Goma into Rwanda with their bounty.
Police could not reveal how many people were arrested but according to the Police Spokesman, Theos Badege, the robbers used a porous border in Rubavu to escape into Rwanda and amalgamate with the residents of the area.
"We managed to arrest some suspects between today (Thursday) and yesterday, as well an amount of money and we are still carrying out investigations to ensure that entire suspect ring is foiled," Badege said.
"We are working closely with the regional expanded Joint Verification Mechanism to ensure that preliminary investigations on the matter are carried out efficiently and professionally."
Reports from BCC claim that on Tuesday, three suspected robbers attacked a vehicle taking money to the bank in Goma and made away with £614,000 after a gun fight that claimed two lives.
The robbers then sped off and illegally crossed into Rwanda, where some or all were eventually arrested by Rwanda's intelligence.
The arrested suspects did not have identification and spoke either Lingala or Swahili and according to Badege, details of their extradition to DRC are still withheld as investigations go on.

Part 9 : Mind Over Matter
My previous columns have covered aspects of your physical and mental performance that can have a direct effect on your poker game. While this column will be pertinent and helpful, it will be slightly different in that it's going to help you understand your mind — and above all — your potential. In the minds of many sports psychologists, an athlete's potential all stems from one factor:
The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
This theory has been around for quite a while in various ways, and I personally feel that many aspects of improvement start with the self fulfilling prophecy – as do many aspects of lack of improvement. So what is it?
At its core, the self-fulfilling prophecy theory states that the positive or negative expectations that you have about yourself, your circumstances, your potential, or your abilities directly affect reality. What happens is when you hold a belief about yourself, whether it's imposed by yourself or others, you (either knowingly or unknowingly) create scenarios in which that belief holds true. Eventually, it becomes entirely true.
Your own self-fulfilling prophecy in the past has pretty much defined who you are right now. In addition, your self-fulfilling prophecy will invariably determine who you become in the future.
The Good News
While many people have unknowingly created their own self-fulfilling prophecies that hold them back, knowing that this theory generally holds true allows you to use it to your advantage. How?
Here are a few examples:
Have you ever heard the old adage, "Scared money never wins"? This is self-fulfilling prophecy at work. Essentially, when you falsely believe that any action you take at the poker table — whether +EV or -EV —will result in failure or loss of money, your fear of such failure will influence your actions in such a way that will make it more likely that failure or loss of money will actually occur. This commonly happens when poker players "run bad" and is a reason why running bad so often is accompanied by bad play.
On the other hand, if you believe that the actions you take at the poker table will result in success, your confidence will influence your actions in such a way so as to make it more likely that success will occur. You'll be more likely to go with your reads, to take small edges that will be +EV in the long run, and you won't second-guess yourself to death.
Put a little more simply, if you believe that you're truly on track to achieve greatness, you'll be much more likely to do so. If you believe you "suck at poker," that you"can't win," or that so-and-so is "just way better than you could ever be," then it's likely that you won't improve nearly as much as you otherwise would. Why do you think that is?
Belief influences action. Good or bad, right or wrong, this generally holds true to a certain extent. Of course there are other factors at work, such as the ones covered in the first eight Poker As A Sport columns — but at the end of the day remember one thing: Success always begins in your mind.
Belief influences action. Good or bad, right or wrong, this generally holds true to a certain extent. Of course there are other factors at work, such as the ones covered in the first eight Poker As A Sport columns — but at the end of the day remember one thing: Success always begins in your mind.

Publisher's Description
At a time when many Catholics are questioning their church, Donald Cozzens sheds light on the widespread "underground church that cherishes the vision of a renewed and reformed church preached by Pope John XXIII, a church open to the currents of grace flowing through cathedrals and marketplaces, chanceries and ghettos, through women and men, through people of good will."
Writing in a fresh way about faith, prayer, communion, and church, Cozzens calls this new underground church "a pilgrim people that believes that the Holy Spirit is loose in the world and whose rumors of wisdom might be found in any of God's people as well as in their ordained leaders. I'm hardly alone in the underground church. I take comfort in that."
Cozzens describes and inspires a church "that wants to be simply adult a church not of children or adolescents hesitant to think and reflect on the lessons of human experience and their effort to live the gospel. A church closer to the spirit of Yves Congar and Teilhard de Chardin, to Dorothy Day and Mother Teresa, a church in step with the spirit of the gospel."

Ken Holland's never been one to hesitate when the opportunity to add a Stanley Cup-hungry veteran for a cheap price presented itself. Recently, he's done so with Dallas Drake and Mike Modano, two cases that ended in different levels of success.
Chris Drury could be Holland's next veteran get. The Rangers plan to buy out Drury, the New York Post reported, meaning the New York captain will be a free agent — and one that's already going to earn $3.35 million over the next two seasons.
That's the type of scenario Holland loves to swoop in on. Drury's buyout means that he might not be looking for much financially, but he could be hungry for another run at a ring — Drury won the Cup with Colorado in 2000-01.
With Modano out of Detroit's plans (and pondering retirement) and Kris Draper maybe following the same path, the Red Wings could use some forward depth on the big-league club. Drury wouldn't help them add much in the way of team speed, but aside from this past season, in which he played just 24 games due to injury, the 34-year-old winger has scored 20 goals nine times.
He's definitely lost a step from his younger days — even in playing 77 games in 2009-10, Drury managed just 32 points.
He is a smart, respected player, though, who is strong defensively. Those are all qualities that Holland and Wings head coach Mike Babcock have shown a desire to have around.
Detroit could definitely use another top-six scorer, which might require them to move Jiri Hudler somewhere, and Drury's addition wouldn't do anything to aid that quest. What he might do is bring another hard-working forward into the locker room. It wouldn't be the step to get the Wings over the top, but a Drury signing feels right in line with Holland's track record to keep Detroit in the Cup hunt.

Fourth of July with a bigger celebration Thursday night in an effort to out-do last year's disappointing display.
People ringed the streets and bridges downtown Thursday to get the best views as the city held two – one on Fayetteville Street at 9:15 p.m. and then a larger display that started around 10:25 p.m. from Red Hat Amphitheater.
The second show went off about 10 minutes late, annoying many, but the fireworks themselves were a crowd-pleaser with their bright colors and red, green and even luminous smiley faces dotting the Raleigh skyline.
Police say it was people parking in the firework safety buffer zone that delayed the show.
Thousands of people ringed downtown to watch the event as the bright colors of the fireworks flickered off the downtown buildings.
"Tonight, compared to last year, was far better," one fan said.
We talked to Raleigh Mayor Susan McFarlane about the shows. She says overall she thinks it went great, but there were also lessons learned.
"I think it's really about anticipating crowds and movement and just getting that straight for next year," said McFarlane.
What did you think? Let us know on Facebook
The two shows are in an effort to improve last year's celebration after many people complained about the display because the fireworks company, S&W Productions of Wake Forest, could only shoot shells that were 3 inches in diameter. Federal guidelines dictate that a fireworks shell can only be one inch in diameter for every 70 feet it is from a structure.
Adding a fireworks show from the Red Hat Ampitheater gave S&W more space, and thus the chance to fire off bigger shells.
But some people still weren't pleased at all and found the downtown effort disappointing.
WNCN's Facebook page was flooded with comments from people who thought the event was much better at the State Fairgrounds.
"I won't return until they are back to the fairgrounds," posted Penni Potter. "How many more thumbs down do you need Raleigh?"
"Move them back," posted Traci Branch. "They are hard to see unless you are standing in the middle of the street. Small children and those in wheelchairs have an even harder time. I was standing next to two people in wheelchairs who couldn't' see due to people standing in front of them. Children around me were complaining and crying because they couldn't see and adults were putting young children on their shoulders which added to the difficulty."

Mass Flowmeters and Controllers Withstand Corrosive Gases
January 6, 2011
To overcome the challenges of process control in aggressive environments, the manufacturer has developed the mass flowmeters and controllers with 316L stainless steel construction and FFKM elastomeric materials for the more common corrosive gases and gas mixes used in caustic process environments. The units are calibrated for thirty inert gases and a number of corrosive gases that would damage standard equipment, including ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide. The mass flowmeters quickly and accurately measure pressure, temperature and volumetric flow in addition to mass flow. The patented laminar flow differential pressure technology delivers highly accurate results with a much faster response time than that of competing technologies, according to the manufacturer. For applications requiring precision gas flow control, the mass flow controllers deliver accurate flow regulation of corrosive gases with the ability to respond to upstream gas flow changes, attaining and maintaining flow setpoints in less than 100ms. Both units operate simply as stand-alone devices. An integrated digital display enables users to change the configuration of the meter without the need for computers, complicated software or scripts.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.

Heh. I'm quite aware of vox-tech. I was around when it was created.
But there are many things that are Linux-or-LUGOD-related that do not
belong on vox-tech at all, as Pete will back me up on. These are the
only messages, frankly, that I'm interested in. When Pete moved for
the lists-split, he did specify that vox would be for basically
anything that vox-tech and vox-announce were not; but I had
(incorrectly) assumed that it would still be pretty much LUGOD- and
linux- related, or I would've spoken up then.
What I want is a list where, for example, someone can observe, "Hey!
The latest version of Opera or Debian is out, and it has yada yada
features and is really cool", or where Bill can announce his latest
game (when I nag him sufficiently out of his humility to do so),
without having to deal with completely non-linux/LUGOD related posts.
The type of posts I described above are not technical enough for
vox-tech, but also have no place on vox-announce, which is
moderator-posted only and is meant for LUGOD events.
It's not that I have no interest in the controversial issues that are
raised here from time-to-time, but I generally already have formed my
views, am not really interested in proselytizing, and am not likely to
change my opinions based on what I see here. If I'm interested in
seeing new perspectives, I'd generally sign up for a newsgroup or
mailinglist dedicated to discussions on that topic.
I read about 200 posts on comp.lang.c every day (minus a number of
obviously stupid or off-topic subject headers), about 10 on
c.l.c.moderated, the occaisional linux programming group when I'm in
the mood (which is high traffic, usually), a lot of work-related
email, mail from vox and voxtech, mail from the DocBook/SGML/DSSSL
mailing list, and mail from Firetop Mountain (a most excellent
email-based game of sorcery). I simply don't have time to
additionally read extra mail that to me is pretty much as irritating
as spam.
I am subscribed to vox because: I look to it as a source of
Linux-related information that I may not get elsewhere, even though I
regularly peruse Slashdot, HappyPenguin and LinuxGames; information on
local (well, not *so* local anymore) Linux-related events; and
general, good fun with friends who are captivated by the same
wonderful OS that has enchanted me. I should be sorry to lose a good
portion of that because I've become frustrated with the
noise-to-signal ratio.
As to whether a group should conform to an individual's needs -
obviously, it shouldn't. And if I am pretty much alone in these
thoughts, then obviously the best course of action would be for me to
unsubscribe from vox, and concentrate on vox-tech. But I very much
suspect that I'm not alone in this sentiment.

DAEGU, South Korea—South Korea is a nation that respects Buddhas and Gods, and most Korean people value traditional culture so when the New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company performed it's 2013 premiere in Daegu on April 5 it caused quite a stir.
Among the celebrities who attended the show was Mr. Kim Jin-Yoo, former speaker of the Daegu Metropolitan Suseong Gu Council. After seeing the performance, he exclaimed, "I felt the harmonization of nature and human. It [Shen Yun] showcased the story of overcoming evil persecution and experiencing a rebirth. It is indeed very outstanding."
Mr. Kim attended the Shen Yun performance with his wife, friend and friend's wife. As a popular politician in Daegu City he was seated in the most expensive area of the performance hall, and was greeted by many other celebrities before the performance began.
Mr. Kim has long admired Shen Yun's popularity, but this is his first time he had the opportunity to see the performance himself. He watched the show attentively and applauded the performers throughout the performance. Right after the show concluded, he could not help sharing with other audience members, saying: "It is indeed very wonderful. Shen Yun is really an artistic feast. It made me have the feeling of harmonization between nature and human."
Mr. Kim is proud of his Korean culture, and enjoys Chinese culture as well. Amazed by the unique and splendid performance, he said with praise: "The entire performance was displayed in great unison, and the colors were very brilliant and beautiful. The overall performance was very powerful, music was very touching, and the backdrops were really fantastic. All of the programs were very vivid and lifelike. The entire show was impeccable.
"I had a special feeling right after the very beginning of the first program. The piece depicting the scene of experiencing a rebirth after the disaster [Divine Mercy] is indeed remarkable."
He expressed that every program was very touching, in particular the last piece, Divine Mercy, which depicted the battle between good and evil. He was also especially moved by the scene that depicted the persecution of Chinese Falun Gong practitioners' steadfast faith, which brought celestial help.
He said, "I hope Falun Gong can further spread around the world." Learning about Falun Gong from some of his friends who have practiced Falun Gong, he said, "Falun Gong is an amazing cultivation practice."

THE three-day National Congress of the ruling CCM has come to an end. All's well that ends well. At the end of it all, CCM yesterday woke up to an almost new leadership line-up.
The National Chairman, President Jakaya Kikwete, retained his post. At the party's administrative high table now sits Dr Ali Mohamed Shein as the vice-chairman (Zanzibar), replacing former Isles president, Mr Amani Abeid Karume, who formally retired from the post. On the seat reserved for the vice-chairman (Mainland) now sits a party cadre of many years, who once served as its secretary general, Mr Philip Mangula.
The party also woke up on Wednesday to a new secretary general, Mr Abdulrahman Kinana, a household political name in Tanzania, who will be assisted by an upcoming youthful leader, Mr Mwigulu Nchemba, for the Mainland, and Mr Vuai Ali Vuai, who continues as deputy secretary general (Zanzibar).
Another notable appointment is the appointment of a party member and former secretary general of the United Nations, Dr Asha- Rose Migiro, as head of the party's External Affairs Secretariat. Hopefully, these appointments and other major changes and innovations in CCM's administrative machinery and modus operandi will keep the party in the right footing on the countdown to the 2015 general elections.
Formed in 1977 when two independence movements, Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) on the Mainland and Afro-Shirazi Party (ASP) from the island merged, CCM has evolved from strength to strength, winning all elections in 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010.
With its headquarters in Dodoma and sub-head offices in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar, it is the strongest political establishment of the land, commanding a wide following and a strong membership base. This means that whatever CCM does or whatever happens in the party will likely draw the attention and interest of all Tanzanians.
As the ruling party, it has the massive responsibility of monitoring the activities of its government in the nation building endeavour and uplifting the living standards of the people. Hopefully again, now that the party has undergone a major recast, the country's development scene will be reinvigorated, the standard of living of the people will beimproved more and more while the way to 2015 has been smoothed. That was good CCM. Keep it up. The successful conduct of the congress really set a good precedent for upright political conduct in the country.

During 2012, travel accommodation value sales declined overall by 2%, while outlet numbers marginally increased and room numbers were also up by 1%. Accommodation providers witnessed falling value sales as they increasingly had to offer deals and promotions to entice consumers.
In Italy, the most important hotel chain owners remained InterContinental Hotels, Best Western Italia, NH Hotels, Accor Hospitality, Starwood Italia and Atahotels. Amongst them there was a noteworthy increase in the hotel portfolio of Best Western in 2011 (from 160 to 180 outlets) and of Le Meridien in 2012 (from 18 to 31 outlets). These companies are seeking to extend their presence in the country across a broader number of cities.
Over the forecast period, constant value sales of chained hotels

A mobile cashless services provider, Vtnetwork, has indicated its readiness to roll out its Vcash Mobile Payment services for mobile telephone users across the country.
The system according to the Chief Executive Officer, Vtnetwork, Dr. Peter Ojo, who spoke to journalists in Ibadan, is to complement the cashless policy of the apex bank and to reduce the rate of armed robbery in the country.
He stated that the plan to roll out the mobile payment services became a reality following the final regulatory approval given to it by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Ojo said, "The Central Bank of Nigeria has provided its final regulatory approval to Vtnetwork limited to roll out the mobile payment services across Nigeria. It has been a very long journey, not just for us, but for our agents, super agents and subscribers."
He explained that the Virtual Terminal Network is a payment platform with hundreds of thousands users. The users, he said, made at least one or more financial transactions monthly, pointing out, "we feel we understand the Nigerian customer and their immediate needs. Today, we have a very solid team and services that people want."
According to him, Vtnetwork had in 2007 offered an e-commerce payment platform to understand the Nigerian payment market landscape. This, he said, was aimed at experimenting how to tackle the payment needs of the citizens.
"The VTN platform will vastly expand the number of Nigerians who can benefit as only a small minority has bank accounts and constant internet access", he added.
Ojo, who explained that the new platform was designed to serve the unbanked population in the majority, stressed that the prepaid nature of transaction offered made the model more secure because there was no credit exposure.
Considering the large percentage of the unbanked people in the land, he stated, "In order for phones to replace wallets in Nigeria, technology and creative marketing must be an integral part of the winning strategy. With Vcash there is a solution for every sector of the economy, from basic person-to-person transfers to more sophisticated financial services."

Russia on Establishing MD System in Europe
|Moscow, May 2 (KCNA) -- The commander of the Space Armed Forces of Russia in a press conference on April 29 referred to the issue of establishing the missile defense system in Europe.
If Russia is to establish the MD in Europe in union with NATO, its concern about the plan of NATO's unilateral establishment of MD will disappear, he said.
It is unnecessary for MD of other countries to be deployed in regions where Russia's missile shields are provided, he added.

Few people look forward to being asked for money. But Super Sunday, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles' largest single day of fund raising each the year, is the exception.
"It's the one time of the year when people say, 'I was waiting for your phone call,'" says David Eshaghpour, community campaign director for the Federation and Super Sunday director.
Super Sunday, which will take place at four locations scattered across Los Angeles, reaches more than 50,000 people through phone calls, mailers and personal solicitations, and raises about one-tenth of the annual total contributions to the Federation's United Jewish Fund. Last year, $4.45 million was added to UJF coffers. This year's goal is to increase that figure to $5 million.
The money goes to benefit the Federation's 17 beneficiary agencies, which combat hunger, disease, disabilities, family violence, alcohol and drug addiction in Los Angeles, and to help Jews in Israel and 58 countries.
Many staff and lay leaders of the UJF's beneficiary agencies show up to make phone calls on Super Sunday, along with scores of families, teens, young singles and couples, and seniors. There are specially equipped phones for the hearing impaired.
"Super Sunday brings together generations working for a common cause," says David Aaronson, who is chairing Super Sunday for the second year in a row.
For parents of small children, free baby-sitting is available. Youngsters also can take part in Mitzvathon, a day of making art projects and participating in other activities that help those in need; the children will also learn more about their Jewish heritage.
At the "megasite," the Westside Jewish Community Center, costumed Power Ranger characters from the Fox-TV Network will show up to amuse the kids.
To volunteer or to contribute, contact one of the following locations: Westside JCC, 5870 W. Olympic Blvd., (323) 761-8319; Valley Alliance Milken Jewish Community Campus, 22622 Vanowen St., West Hills, (818) 464-3200; South Bay Council Jewish Community Building, 22410 Palos Verdes Blvd., Torrance, (310) 540-2631; Jewish Federation West Los Angeles Office, 1950 Sawtelle Blvd., (310) 689-3600.

Willimantic, Conn. -- Eastern Connecticut State University's Theatre Program will stage theatrical readings of stories found in Jorge Hernández's "Sun, Stone, and Shadows" on Oct. 3 from 12-1:30 p.m. in the University's Student Center Theatre. The public is invited. Admission is free.
"Sun, Stone, and Shadows" is one of 31 books included in the nationwide Big Read Project to stimulate an interest in reading. The project kicks off in the Betty R. Tipton Room of the Student Center at Eastern on Sept. 18. The Big Read Project is a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) program that seeks to enhance literacy abilities by raising public awareness of reading.
The readings, including "The Mist" by Juan de la Cabada and "The Square" by Juan Garcia Ponce, will be presented by students enrolled in Theatre Professor Ellen Faith Brodie's Children's Theatre class. A question and answer session will follow.
Eastern is one of two organizations in Connecticut to have received a Big Read Project grant, and has joined 78 other not-for-profit institutions and organizations nationwide in an effort to restore reading to the center of American culture.
For reservations and information about the staged readings, please call Ellen Faith Brodie at (860) 465-5122 or email her at email@example.com.

What You Can Expect
This nighttime walking tour of Paris' ghosts, mysteries and legends takes place under a cloak of darkness, winding down alleyways and cutting through the hushed silence of the night. You will go to the sites of some of Paris' darkest hours – the Place de la Vert Gallant, St Germain de Auxerrois (where some say 30,000 were killed in the St Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572) and the Palais du Justice (where those found guilty by the court were routinely tortured and executed before live audiences).
You will travel through areas wracked by the plague, the French Revolution, the Paris Commune and Nazi rule. You will learn about the characters that molded the city, from Napoleon and Marie Antoinette to Henry IV and the serial killers that once stalked these very streets.
The Ghosts, Mysteries and Legends Night Walking Tour of Paris offers a rare opportunity to glimpse a side of Paris you won't see advertised on postcards. It's a chance to learn a little more about the City of Light and those who loved, hated, died and killed there.
Sites visited on the walking tour:
- Place de la Vert Gallant
- St Germain de Auxerrois
- La Fontaine de la Croix du Trahoir
- Rue de la Ferronnerie
- Square of the Innocents
- The Rat Trap Shop (as seen in the movie Ratatouille)
- Tour St Jacques
- La Fontaine du Palmier
- The River Seine
- The Conciergerie
- Ile de la Cité
- Palais du Justice
- Hotel Dieu
- Hotel de ville

June 2015
Good Leader. I enjoyed the history and background info. There did seem to be a gratuitous use of violence in the story telling. Perhaps a little less gore and more supporting history would make the event perfect.
June 2015
This was our first tour of Paris and we learned a lot of history. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared many stories. We would recommend this tour to everyone to learn a little about Paris before seeing the major sites.

- Judge wants 600 potential jurors for Denver death penalty case
A coroner's finding that all five people killed in Fero's Bar and Grill in October were stabbed helps define the killer or killers, authorities say.
"From the offender's point of view, it takes a different kind of pathology to kill someone up close and personal," said Gregg McCrary, a former FBI profiler from Virginia. "It's different than killing someone with a gun from a distance. The victim is pleading, crying, coughing, yelling. It's bloody. It's awful."
On Oct. 17, Daria M. Pohl, 22; Kellene Fallon, 45; Young Suk Fero, 63; Ross Richter, 29; and Tereasa Beesley, 45, were fatally stabbed inside the bar at 351 S. Colorado Blvd., according to a coroner's report.
McCrary doesn't have specifics of the Fero's case, but if police are correct that three killers were involved, some victims clearly had to wait their turn.
Each victim suffered multiple stab wounds, Denver coroner's spokeswoman Michelle Weiss-Samaras said.
Dexter Lewis, 22; Joseph Hill, 27; and his brother, Lynell Hill, 24, have been charged with murder, robbery and arson in the cases.
The victims were discovered after a fire broke out in the bar.
Weiss-Samaras said it took nearly two months to complete the autopsies because the coroner wanted to know if the fire contributed in any way to the deaths of the victims. It did not.
Police say the crime was initially a robbery. According to the charging document, the three were armed with a knife and a gun.

The Bachelor
5 Reasons Kalon McMahon Should Be The Next Bachelor
Kalon McMahon is kind of like Professor Snape in Harry Potter. You think he's an evil slime-ball, and then BOOM — he morphs into a beautiful studly stallion and blows your mind with his gentle soul and tender love. Sob!
We're huge fans of McManzone 'round these parts, and (bear with us here), we think he'd make a great Bachelor. Sure, he's slightly villainous — but we've rounded up 5 reasons Kalon should be ABC's next eligible hottie!
1. He's Kalon McMahon
Honestly, who wouldn't watch an entire season of The Bachelor devoted to Kalon? This is the guy who stared at himself in the mirror for a full five minutes while grinning evilly. He's a pure joy to watch on TV, spends most of his time cackling, and did we mention that he has a six-pack? We're just worried Chris Harrison won't be able to resist Kalon's siren call, and will steal him away from the bachelorettes so they can go tanning together.
This tall, dark (read: tanned) and handsome fella slayed us with his devastating good looks and charm during Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette, and we're pretty sure he could save us from all kinds of evil Russian villains named Goldfinger. When Kalon walks into a room, ladies stop and stare — and that's the exact kind of magnanimous presence that Chris Harrison looks for in his bachelors. Kalon's a shoe-in!
3. He's Misunderstood
Kalon might come off as a vaguely evil sociopath, but behind the crazy smile and those Mr. Burns finger-twirls lies an innocent puppy waiting to be adopted by a loving family of bachelorettes. We know, we know — the dude compared Ricki and her freedom cornrows to baggage, but just because he isn't a "kid person," doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad person. Don't judge a stud by his cover, ya'll.
4. He Wants To Be Loved
Um, can we please talk about the fact that Kalon's a tender-hearted love muffin who just wants to find the lady of his dreams? Kalon and Lindzi Cox were the cutest couple on Bachelor Pad 3, and we loved that Kalon cared more about her than the cash money. Kal could have spent the entire season bringing down The Pad with his smize, but instead he followed his heart and got his romance on. Awww! Kalzone can't wait to fall in love, which makes him prime Bachelor material. You listening, Chris Harrison?
5. He's Glamorous (oh, the flossy, flossy!)
We have no doubt that Kalon would treat his lady lovers to the most amazing dates in Bachelor history. First of all, every adventure would involve a helicopter ride (duh), and with any luck the ladies would get to accompany Kalon to a fancy men's clothing store, where he'd force them to watch him try on cufflinks and ankle garters for hours. You're welcome, ladies. Don't even mention it.
Need your daily dose of The Bachelor? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. After all, you'd get our final rose.

Album Summary
- Clio Gould (Violin)
Notes & Reviews:
This release contains two of the greatest orchestral showpieces in the repertoire Rimsky Korsakov's superbly scored and dramatic orchestral suite based on stories from "The Arabian Nights," and his colorful depiction of the Russian Orthodox Easter festival, combining both traditional tunes with liturgical chant. Charles Dutoit is one of the greatest exponents of this repertoire, and together with his new orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic, delivers performances of great passion and exhilaration. This is the first of a series of recordings from Dutoit and the RPO to be released by Onyx.
International Record Review
[Clio Gould] offers a ravishing account of the solo violin narrative thread linking the different episodes in the music. Her playing has a fragile beauty...the splendid performance of the Easter Festival Overture conjures up a heady atmosphere of bells and swirling incense. The playing is most refined...making one marvel again at Rimsky's colourful orchestration.
Recording information: Henry Wood Hall, London (04/25/2010/04/26/2010).

Thanks, Mr. [Gregg] Ward, [Chairman, Bryce Harlow Foundation], Dr. Lloyd Ogilvie, [Chaplain of U.S. Senate] It's a pleasure to be with you all.
As many of you know, Tom [Korologos, Chairman, Executive Committee of Timmons and Company] and I go back a long way – a very long way -- farther than I care to admit.
And I've been proud to watch as, over the years, Tom has become a living Washington institution.
He is so famous for working around outside the Senate Chamber that he is known by the insiders as the 101st Senator. Indeed, he has spent so much time in those hallowed halls that -- as one Senator put it – "I was in the Senate three months before I realized Korologos wasn't a statue."
But all that experience does come in handy, and it has helped me from time to time – not least in my confirmation hearings. His advice for courtesy calls was "get in, listen, get out – it worked. Thank you, Tom.
But it really is an honor to be here tonight. I knew Bryce Harlow.[aide to Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon] Bryce Harlow was a friend of mine. And let me tell you, you're no . . . rather than saying you're no Bryce Harlow, I can say that you are as close to a Bryce Harlow as one can be.
I'm told that Tom once tried to give away the position of Secretary of Defense. One time, in the Nixon White House, when the President was away, Tom Korologos and Dick Cook [aide to President Nixon] passed the Oval Office and saw the door open and went it. Tom sat in the President's seat and Dick sat in the guest chair.
Tom, playing the President, said "Well, what position do you want?" Cook said: "Secretary of State." Tom replied, "That's gone but I can give you Secretary of Defense."
After a few indiscreet remarks and some laughs, a Secret Service agent ran in and asked them to leave the Oval Office. A year later, Tom found out about the voice-activated recording device in the room.
He perhaps had a difficult time explaining that to Leon Jaworski [Watergate Special Prosecutor].
It is a delight to be here to help honor a man who has served the American presidency -- and its occupants -- so well and contributed so much to our country.
The office of the President endures because of professionals like Tom Korologos, who can see the other man's point of view, and who understands that – despite differences – we do, in fact, need to work together.
On the day I was sworn in, in the Oval Office, Tom was there along with President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
I turned to the Vice President and said, "I remember a man we both worked with in this office, Bryce Harlow. Bryce once said the responsibility of every assistant to the President was to leave this house stronger than when we came in."
Well, Tom Korologos has been living up to that challenge for four decades. Everything he has touched has ended up better than when he started – except possibly [wife] Ann [McLaughlin], and she was unimprovable.
And we should also take note of Tom's sidekick for so many decades, our friend Bill Timmons [Chairman Emeritus of Timmons company]. He too is a Washington institution.
Like many of you, I've spent years in business as well as in government. I have to say that it's probably a toss-up as to which has more meetings.
Understanding what has gone before can be crucially important – and for all those who follow. I think it was George Will who once said of Washington, D.C., "We need more people in this town who have read the minutes of the last meeting."
Bryce Harlow was a man who had read the minutes of the last meeting.
For over 20 years now, the Bryce Harlow Foundation has been honoring men and women whose characteristics of leadership -- high ethical standards, and contributions to business and government -- exemplify the Bryce Harlow spirit. Men and women who -- by their example -- show the current generation that it is important to read the minutes of the last meeting and pass the knowledge on to all who come after.
I can think of no better way to honor Bryce Harlow than by honoring Tom Korologos. Tom, you are a superb model for us all -- a consummate professional and a solid friend.
Congratulations. Tom, join me.

My son is very interested in ice hockey. After several ice-skating classes with rental skates, he really want his own skates. But the price is usually high given the kids is growing and the skates needed to be replaced after only 3-4 months. I searched website for a long time to find a suitable pair with acceptable price. I finally find this website, and the price is great! I ordered it. When the package came, the skates are really great!

NBA Recap, News, and Notes as of 11/10/10
- Updated: November 11, 2010
It's another Thursday in the world of NBA betting action, and here at Bang the Book, we're taking advantage of the light day on the slate to look back at the week that was with its highest and lowest moments against the NBA odds.
Pacers Put Up 54 in a Quarter: When you can shoot 20-of-21 in a quarter from the floor and score 54 points, you know that you are doing something awfully impressive. That's exactly what the Indiana Pacers did against the Denver Nuggets in arguably the most notable achievement that we have seen at the team level all season long. The amazing part about that quarter was that the Pacers only ended up shooting 64.4 percent for the game! You should certainly do a lot better than that when you put up a big ol' 95.2 percent shooting from the floor in an entire quarter! Indiana went on to win 144-113 in one of the most impressive displays of the season.
Utah Storms the Sunshine State: The Utah Jazz have certainly gotten the attention of the rest of the teams in the Western Conference, and all it took was going East to do it. The Jazz came off of a dreadful loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday, and followed that up by needing overtime to escape from the Los Angeles Clippers. With arguably the hardest road trip in the NBA coming up, the duels against the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat, no one figured that Utah would be able to hang. First on the list were the Heat, who hadn't been beaten at home since putting together the trio that was supposedly going to take the NBA by storm. It took getting 46 points from F Paul Millsap to do, but the Jazz won in OT 116-114. No way that they'd be able to come to the Amway Center, a place where the Magic had never lost before and beat Orlando, right? The hosts were up by nine coming into the final stanza and looked ready to roll, but Utah absolutely stormed to a 39-20 quarter in what should have been the most difficult 12 minutes of the season to shock the Magic 104-94.
Lakers Still Perfect: It doesn't get much better than this for the Los Angeles Lakers. It just seems effortless how they come on the court and just find ways to beat (and usually beat down) opponents every single night. At 8-0, they enter this Thursday with the best record in the NBA. There isn't anything that this team cannot do, as it defends well, it shoots well, it has stars both in the post and in the backcourt… Simply put, this is the best team in the NBA, and no one is denying it. G Kobe Bryant, F Pau Gasol, and F Lamar Odom are all putting up superstar numbers this year. Imagine how good these guys are going to be if C Andrew Bynum ever gets back on the court and healthy???
Hornets More Perfect: The New Orleans Hornets are just 75 games away from finishing the season at 82-0 SU and ATS! It's truly remarkable to see this team transform from the lousy campaign last year that resulted in HC Byron Scott getting fired. The Hornets are playing some stingy defense this year, allowing just 90.1 points per game, and the best 'D' might have come in these last two games, a 101-82 win over the Los Angeles Clippers and an 87-81 'W' over the Milwaukee Bucks on the road. Add in the fact that G Chris Paul is averaging 17.9 points and 9.9 assists per game, numbers that you know are going to improve and improve dramatically, and the recipe is ripe for New Orleans to continue making other teams sing the blues.
Breaking the Wall Down: It's official. G John Wall has arrived. No, the Washington Wizards aren't winning a million games this year, and they aren't going to the playoffs in all likelihood, but man, is this kid fun to watch. He logged his first career triple-double last night against the Houston Rockets scoring 19 points, dishing out 13 assists, and pick up ten boards. However, Wall wasn't done there. He picked up six steals as well, giving him a whopping 19 swipes on the year. The rook is averaging 19.3 points and 10.1 assists per game this year, and he is clearly the best reason to go watch the Wiz play in our nation's capitol.
Hawks Getting Clipped: Things really looked great for the Atlanta Hawks at the outset of this season, but things just aren't going this well anymore. After winning six straight to start the year, things turned south in a hurry, starting on Sunday when the Phoenix Suns came into Phillips Arena and handed the hosts their first loss of the season. Everyone expected to see the Orlando Magic hammer Atlanta the very next night down at the Amway Center, and that's exactly what happened. The result that we are trying to figure out is how the Hawks were dropped by 17 by the Milwaukee Bucks at home last night… The good news is that the Minnesota Timberwolves are only two games away from being on the schedule again!
Triple Double Delight: It seems as though we have had a real rash of triple-doubles this year already in the NBA even though the season is only just over two weeks old. We've already talked about the triple-double for Washington G John Wall, but he certainly wasn't the only one over the course of the week that pulled off the stunt. Miami's F LeBron James had a triple-double in a defeat against Utah, and was clearly outshined on the day by his teammate, G Dwyane Wade, who scored the third most points for any player in a game on the week with 39. Combine not being in the spotlight with losses, and Mr. LBJ is certainly not going to be a happy camper. The other triple-double came from the incredibly unselfish F Pau Gasol for the Lakers, as he went for 20 points, 14 boards, and 10 dimes during LA's massive winning streak to start the campaign.

Gotham City Imposters, a downloadable FPS in which players play as characters pretending to be characters from the Batman universe, has been delayed from a January release to a February release.
The game is set to be available for PC download, PlayStation Network and XBox Live.
Warner Bros. Games announced the postponement today. The game looks nothing like the publishers popular "Arkham" series of Batman games. Instead, it looks a bit like the vigilantes who Christian Bale's Batman mocked in "The Dark Knight" for fighting crime while wearing hockey pads got a bunch of guns and started shooting at people dressed like the Joker, who also have a bunch of guns.
In other words, the game's aesthetic looks more like a Team Fortress-style wackiness instead of Call of Duty-style this-is-so-hardcore-ness.
As far as whether the game turns out to be any good, I guess we'll find out in February.
