Vaizey: 1-Up for the UK games industry
At last - a boost for the UK games industry. After the announcement during the coalition government's budget that the tax breaks for the industry would be scrapped, there is finally some good news coming out of Whitehall for UK game developers.
Minister for communications Ed Vaizey has announced that Ian Livingstone OBE - founder of Games Workshop and Life President of Eidos - will oversee an independent review of the gaming industry in terms of education and training.
Vaizey, talking at the Develop conference in Brighton, said:
"Government recognises the difficult challenges faced by the UK video games industry in the wake of a new economic climate. It is an industry that has real potential to create the high quality jobs of the future that will be so important as we recover from the recession".
As well as the independent review there will also be a £2 million investment to help small games companies get their ideas out there.
The investment will be in the care of the video games centre of excellence that is being setup at the University of Abertay in Dundee.
"We need to invest in talent that will ensure the UK remains at the forefront of games creativity", said Vaizey.
"That is why it is important to focus on skills and on giving small companies the support they have been telling us they need to help them take forward innovative new games concepts".
"These small and start-up companies will play an important part in enhancing the international competitiveness of our games industry, whilst showing the UK is open for business".
We're going to try and get a comment from our guys at ELSPA - the UK's leading video game trade body to see what they make of Mr. Vaizey's announcements, so check back soon for an update.

"The number of pitches is infinite ... just because more importance is placed on the Western system today does not mean it's the best." Johnny Reinhard
Johnny Reinhard (1956- ) is a microtonal composer, virtuoso bassoonist and conductor. Having studied at the Manhattan School of Music he became interested in developing the bassoon compositionally and began to experiment with the use of microtones. His appreciation of microtonality developed during his fellowship at Columbia.University when he began to conduct extensive research into microtonal music in other cultures. This created his belief that all music is microtonal, . He formed the American Festival of Microtonal Music (AFMM) in 1981 to showcase past and contemporary microtonal music and to introduce microtonality to the listening public. Now a prolific composer, Reinhard continues to perform, promote and lecture in his hometown of New York and all over the world.
Through his direction of the AFMM and his other individual efforts, Reinhard has almost singlehandedly revived public awareness of microtonality in the 21st century

Quick quotes about Johnny Reinhard from all sorts of people
Microtonal Music, and the
128 Tuning System
Arnold Schoenberg, 1910: "dissonances are the more remote consonances of the overtone series"
Johnny Reinhard, 2010: "I began carefully plotting out the 128 pitch harmonic series scale with secure and reliable bassoon fingerings invented to service throughout the instrument's entire range."
Microtonal music is music which is not based on the 12-tone equally tempered scale which is so prevalent in western music. It is not constrained to any style or time period.
8th Octave Overtone Tuning
A paper discussing the development and precursors of the 128 Tuning System,
by Johnny Reinhard
By using only the information found in the harmonic series – also known as the overtone series – 128 distinct pitches are found outlined in its eighth octave. These 128 pitches constitute "definitive consonance." Read the rest of Johnny's article...

The subject of this essay -- polymicrotonality -- never shows up in a dictionary, although it has real meaning for my music compositions. When performing extemporaneously as a bassoonist, I couldn't imagine improvising sans microtones. The complex world in which we live requires a new music that reflects what is special in this millennial era and, paradoxically, need not be overtly complex in its delivery. The insistence of a single tuning simply does not attract my aesthetic compass. Most significantly... Read more

Defense Transportation:
More Reliable Information Key to Managing Airlift Services More Efficiently
NSIAD-00-6: Published: Mar 6, 2000. Publicly Released: Mar 6, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Air Mobility Command's airlift rates, focusing on the: (1) extent to which the Air Mobility Command has reliable financial information for managing airlift transportation services; and (2) factors affecting efficient cost control of airlift services.
GAO noted that: (1) the Air Mobility Command lacks accurate cost information to set rates and assess the economy and efficiency of its operations; (2) the Command does not have accurate data, reliable records, and effective systems to determine: (a) its operating costs for airlift services; and (b) the amount to charge its customers or to request from direct appropriations (the Air Force Airlift Readiness Account) for training and readiness costs; (3) its efforts to accumulate reliable financial information are hampered by nonintegrated systems and processes that contain numerous errors and inconsistencies; (4) the results of GAO's most recent financial statement audit work at the Department of Defense (DOD) highlight long-standing problems accumulating and reporting the full costs associated with all of DOD's working capital fund operations; (5) without reliable information, customers cannot verify airlift charges; (6) DOD financial management policy and practices create disincentives to control and recover full costs; (7) because the Command receives a payment that is intended to cover any shortfalls between revenue collections and full costs, there is little incentive to either control costs or recover the full costs of its peacetime airlift operations; (8) absent accurate cost data, the Command does not have a sound basis for estimating the amount it needs from direct appropriations for payment; (9) the requirements to use rates that are generally competitive with commercial billing rates shifts the focus from determining full costs of operations; (10) an emphasis is placed on estimating commercial rates rather than developing the full costs of missions; (11) DOD recognizes the need for reforms in the defense-wide working capital funds; and (12) however, the Defense Working Capital Funds Task Force is not addressing the transportation working capital funds issues.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Department agrees with the need to improve the quality of its airlift financial cost information, but disagrees that the Secretary of Defense should direct the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command, to take action as several courses of action are already being pursued. The initiatives the Transportation Command has taken to improve data accuracy and systems integration include: (1) reengineering defense transportation documentation and financial processes, to include transportation working capital fund payments; (2) participating in a pilot project for improving managerial cost accounting systems; and (3) establishing a program office to develop an integrated financial reporting and overview system called the Transportation Financial Management System. This financial information management system is being developed by the Transportation Command in collaboration with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service and is expected to facilitate more informed decision-making by providing greater visibility into the Command's cost, revenue, budgeting, and financial performance date. The financial system was partly operational capability in Sept. 2003, and is planned to be fully operational by Dec. 2005. The Department does not plan to develop annual cost reduction goals as an incentive for improving airlift operations.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command, to take action to improve the Command's airlift financial cost information and develop annual airlift operations cost reduction goals as an incentive for improving airlift operations. In the short term, the Command should form a team to assess and recommend ways to address data accuracy problems within its financial management systems. The team should focus on data input controls and methods for ensuring the accuracy of information accumulated from a variety of sources and locations. In the long term, the Command needs to assess the costs and benefits of developing an architecture that either integrates existing data systems or develops new systems and new methods for capturing the costs of its operations and charging its customers.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The Department of Defense disagrees with this recommendation. The Department also disagrees with GAO's assessment that its financial management policies and practices create disincentives to control and recover costs, and is planning no action to address this concern. The Defense Working Capital Task Force concluded its work in February 2000, and according to Department officials, the Task Force considered the airlift portion of the transportation working capital fund in its deliberations and recommendations. The Task Force developed 11 recommendations, of which 10 were approved by the Deputy Secretary Defense to improve the delivery of goods and services to its Defense Working Capital Fund customers.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Defense Working Capital Funds Task Force to include the airlift portion of the transportation working capital fund in its work. The group should place particular attention to addressing ways to improve airlift cost information and the disincentives to controlling and recovering costs.

It's all or nothing for Bushrangers
Murray Bushrangers' TAC Cup finals hopes go on the line tomorrow when the take on Eastern Ranges at Box Hill City Oval.GEORGINA CAHILL August 15, 2014 3:05am
It's do or die for the Murray Bushrangers tomorrow.
The Bushies' finals hopes rest on the shoulders of the Eastern Ranges in round 17 of TAC Cup.
The Bushies will travel to Melbourne tonight ahead of their 11
With two rounds remaining, the two sides sit on seven wins each, with the winner set to claim eighth spot and play finals footy.
For Bushies coach Darren Ogier the stakes don't get much higher.
''Every game is pretty much a final from here on in for us,'' Ogier said.
''(The players) are really excited and looking forward to the contest because they know the consequences are big.
''We've got to make the most of it and make the most of the opportunities and they're certainly running out.''
Will Brodie will make his TAC Cup debut as the Bushies' 23rd player.
Brodie, 15, impressed at the under-16 national carnival.
Ogier said the 184
''Will's form throughout the year has been outstanding and he continues to raise to the requested level, we are confident he will find his feet at TAC Cup level,'' Ogier said.
Mooroopna trio Jy Simpkin, Nathan Drummond and Michael Reidy will return to the side alongside Deniliquin Rams youngster Jake Marshall.
The Bushies previously met Eastern Ranges in round five when the Ranges claimed a 17-point win.
Ogier said his side had improved two-fold since the first encounter, but had plenty of work ahead against the Ranges' impressive outfit.
''They run really hard and spread from the contest,'' he said.
''They've got very good skills and they've got some terrific midfielders.''
The Ranges' midfield is strengthened by highly rated draft prospect Christian Petracca.
In his third TAC Cup season, Petracca is a powerful, hard-running player who can push forward.

In an attempt to impact the cultural and spiritual life in the growing city of San Francisco, in August 1852, The First Colored Baptist Church of San Francisco was established. The church was founded in the home of William and Eliza Davis, on Kearny Street. With the Davis's, there were seven other Black persons-and a band of devout Christian founders: Abraham Brown, Thomas Bundy, Thomas Davenport, Willie Denton, Harry Fields, George Lewis, and Fielding Spots. In 1854, the First Colored Baptist Church of San Francisco bought the old First Baptist Church and moved it to a location on Dupont Street between Greenwich and Filbert Streets. In 1866, a down payment of $4500 was made toward purchasing the old Howard Presbyterian Church property. Two years later, this property was exchanged for a lot on the corner of Bush and Powell Streets on which was erected a building, dedicated on March 14, 1869, at an appraised value of $40, 000. Thirty years later, in 1899, the final note was paid by the membership of 160. For seven years, the church, under the leadership of Rev. J. H. Kelly, enjoyed the rare experience of community pride and worship. In 1906, the church was destroyed by the fire caused by the earthquake. Within two years, the members had begun to purchase a new church on Hyde and Clay Streets. With a down payment of $25, 000 from the sale of the Bush and Powell Street property, they erected a new $49, 000 church edifice. Through this period of growth and development, Third Baptist became the sole medium of expression of leadership through which the Negro could receive appropriate affirmation and recognition. Although Third Baptist Church had been the functional name since 1855, the name was changed in 1908 to reflect its emergence as the third communion of Baptists founded in the city and its desire to be an inclusive church without racial designations. Also, the church was the first Black Baptist congregation established west of the Rocky Mountains.

Just days after Israeli officials denied a report of "unrivaled" Israeli espionage in the United States, a new report has surfaced detailing a US cover-up of Israel spying on then-Vice President Al Gore in 1998.The report in Newsweek claimed that Secret Service agents caught an Israeli "agent" in an air duct who was in the process of bugging the vice president's hotel room."The Secret Service had secured [Gore's] room in advance and they all left except for one agent, who decided to take a long, slow time on the pot," Newsweek quoted a senior former US intelligence operative as saying. "So the room was all quiet and he hears a noise in the vent. And he sees the vent clips being moved from the inside. And then he sees a guy starting to exit the vent into the room. He kind of coughed and the guy went back into the vents."Newsweek alleged that the incident "'crossed the line' of acceptable behavior between friendly intelligence services," and that "it was quickly hushed up by US officials" because of America's commitment to Israel.According to the report, US intelligence officials and congressional sources claim that Israel has been caught carrying out aggressive espionage operations against American targets for decades, but that they are rarely punished.On Wednesday, senior Israeli cabinet officials dismissed claims made by Newsweek earlier in the week that "Israel's espionage activities in America are unrivaled and unseemly." Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman denied the accusations, saying that "there is nothing at all to that type of report. Israel is very careful, and does not participate in anything even similar to spying" in the US.These claims, Liberman continued, were the "inventions of some people in the US who are interested in harming Israeli-US relations. Intelligence Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz also unequivocally denied the reports, saying that after the Jonathan Pollard affair some 30 years ago, Israel stopped all spying operations in the US."As intelligence minister, I say unequivocally and clearly that these accusations have no basis at all," Steinitz said. "Israel does not spy in the US, does not enlist spies in the US, and does not do intelligence gathering in the US."

Why is St. Petersburg bothering to placate the Rays?
Jul 20, 2010, 6:30 PM EDT
I fully acknowledge that the Rays' stadium situation is terrible, but I don't get this at all. Last month, Rays owner Stuart Sternberg said that St. Petersburg is "not viable" as a home for the Rays, that he wanted to be in Tampa and, at the very least, wanted the entire region to woo his team as if it were a gift from the heavens above.
In light of that, if you're the mayor of St. Petersburg, how don't you simply not say "good luck, Stu!" and see what happens? The Rays are locked in their lease. They have absolutely no leverage to extract anything out of you. Sure, it might be nice if they stayed, but as the mayor of a city with unemployment problems and other priorities, how do you spend even an ounce of time on the Rays' problems?
Don't ask St. Pete's Mayor Bill Foster, because he's in the paper today talking about various options that might make the Rays happy. He's submitting them to the city council and then will seek the Rays' OK.
Look, I don't for a moment pretend to know the ins and outs of Bay Area politics, but can someone explain to me why cities routinely bend over backwards to make sports franchises happy like this?
- The Rabbit - Jul 20, 2010 at 6:51 PM
Your question may be rhetorical but I'll offer an answer:
Because many local elected officials are basically stupid and have acquired their jobs by default, not by virtue of any qualification or expertise in community planning, economics, etc.
Not many people want to run for unpaid (in most communities) positions that require extensive amount of time away from work and family commitments.
If they actually read any studies in planning journals on the long term impact of offering any deals to developers and corporations, they'd find very few success stories. Almost all these deals end up negatively impacting the community residents in the form of much higher local taxes while the city builds an infrastructure to support the deal it made. I wouldn't expect a different result with a sports team.
If a politician is aware of this and formulates a deal anyway, I'd have to suspect a kickback of some sort….but then, I'm from Jersey.
- Old Gator - Jul 20, 2010 at 8:39 PM
To be honest with you, I don't understand why, given an opportunity to demolish one of the ugliest, most depressing stadiums not designed by a marginal Bauhaus wannabe, the mayor would even hint that he wanted the team to stay there. That's like an over-the-hill sprinter praying that his immune system won't finally wake up and deal with his plantar's wart.
- JC Bradbury - Jul 21, 2010 at 7:33 AM
Why buy season tickets, when the taxpayers can purchase you the goodwill to earn lifetime rights to the owner's suite? It's fun to spend other people's money.
- 44Fishy - Jul 21, 2010 at 10:20 AM
He is doing this because he is in an elected position and someday he will want to be re-elected. If he's known as the guy who let the Rays leave St. Pete, no one will vote for him.
Right now there are a couple very attractive locations in Tampa. But they are not so much more attractive than the places in St Pete that the mayor is suggesting. So these options keep him/St Pete in play. But if he digs his heels in and tries to force them to honor the lease at the Trop, the team will definitely leave and the mayor will definitely lose with the voters.
Bend, but don't break…
- Dbuck - Jul 21, 2010 at 11:12 AM
You named it with the politics. Tampa and St. Pete do not work with each other for anything. Moving the team to Tampa proper will be viewed as a huge embarassment to St. Pete, just like a re-hash what happened when the Lightning moved.
The cities have an obvious big brother/little brother relationship, and lil brother is probably going to get pushed aside again. Not that I care. When I lived the in the area, I hated driving to the Trop after work to get to a game. What should be a 20 min drive turns into and hour and a half.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
10 Jan 2013 07:59 GMT | Congo
Peter Maurer is president of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
When the recent upsurge in fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo triggered another mass exodus from around the North Kivu town of Goma, it seemed that life could hardly get much worse for the inhabitants of this remote and volatile region.
After almost two decades of intermittent armed conflict and festering insecurity, vast numbers of people have died, mostly from disease and malnutrition, and countless more have been displaced, many of them repeatedly. Civilians have been systematically subjected to appalling abuses by all the many parties to Congo's chronic conflict, with those forced to flee their homes left particularly vulnerable. The current wave of displacement has further compounded this misery and chaos, resulting in many more families being separated and hundreds of children once again
After almost two decades of intermittent armed conflict and festering insecurity, vast numbers of people have died, mostly from disease and malnutrition, and countless more have been displaced, many of them repeatedly. Civilians have been systematically subjected to appalling abuses by all the many parties to Congo's chronic conflict, with those forced to flee their homes left particularly vulnerable. The current wave of displacement has further compounded this misery and chaos, resulting in many more families being separated and hundreds of children once again exposed to physical and psychological abuse.
As armed groups have been retreating from Goma, so has the crisis quickly fallen out of the international spotlight again, consigned to its perennial cycle of conflict and displacement. Yet, the international community cannot afford to turn a blind eye to what is happening in eastern Congo.
Dozens of humanitarian organisations have been deployed continuously since even before the first major armed conflict in 1996, struggling to respond to the most urgent needs of the population. This has been alongside a full UN military contingent searching for its own role within this chaotic political and security environment. Yet, peace and stability have remained stubbornly elusive, not least because North Kivu is one of Congo's most strategic and resource-rich provinces. It is all too easy to forget - or remain blissfully ignorant of - our own dependency on low-cost Congolese mineral resources to sustain our modern-day lives with affordable electronic consumption goods such as smartphones.
UN steps up its duties in the DRC
With the sheer complexity and intractability of the crisis, eastern Congo is increasingly at the epicentre of professional challenges confronted by the humanitarian community. How to engage with dozens of continuously mutating armed groups to ensure at least a minimum of access and protection of the civilian population against the most egregious attacks is one such challenge. Reaching populations in need when swathes of the vast country are inaccessible by road is another. So too is ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers operating in such a difficult environment. As they face these challenges, humanitarian organisations are compelled to adapt and develop new strategies not only to gain access to displaced populations, but also to build on their strength and resilience to help safeguard against repeated trauma.
The displaced themselves have clearly demonstrated that their chances of survival and longer-term recovery depend largely on their ability to maintain social connections. Reuniting family members, particularly separated or unaccompanied children, and reconnecting families in social networks, is therefore critical. Helping them to start rebuilding their livelihoods, for example through cash-for-work projects, is also important.
To this end, humanitarian workers may walk for several days in some of the most remote areas to look for and reconnect displaced communities, supporting them in re-establishing family and social links essential for their well-being. Over the last year alone, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) with the support of the Congolese Red Cross Society distributed over 30,000 messages across dispersed communities, one person at a time. Reuniting families and providing much-needed assistance are vital aspects of this approach. Special efforts are made to facilitate the reintegration of unaccompanied children in their communities of origin, which can be particularly sensitive for those who were part of armed groups and may have committed abuses against their own kin.
But the task at hand is huge. Increased efforts need to be invested in social networking approaches to enable international and local organisations to better reconnect displaced communities in crisis situations, and to be able to predict the evolution of crises.
In various contexts around the world, the ICRC, along with UN agencies and other humanitarian organisations, is working to develop innovative tools such as cellphone monitoring and state-of-the-art mapping resources using satellites and crowdsourced knowledge. Such tools can be a useful means to an end: to achieve proximity to those in need, and to better understand, protect and assist them. Re-establishing social networks in a context such as eastern Congo is not only a way to communicate, but a way to stay connected and ultimately to survive.

An average Electrician with Maintenance skills can expect to take home roughly $21.64 per hour. Residence and years of experience each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Most workers in this position report high levels of job satisfaction. Although more than half have medical coverage and just over a half have dental coverage, slightly less than a third claim no health benefits at all. The information for this rundown comes from respondents who completed PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Copy and paste this HTML:
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Electricians with Maintenance skills, experience and pay levels seem to be correlated; more years in the business generally lead to more money. The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $38K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $48K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $50K. Seasoned veterans with 20 years under their belts enjoy a median income of $58K.
New York is home to an above-average pay rate for Electricians with Maintenance skills, 31 percent higher than the national average. Electricians with Maintenance skills will also find cushy salaries in Denver (+28 percent), Chicago (+26 percent), Houston (+19 percent), and Los Angeles (+18 percent). Electricians with Maintenance skills' salaries are heavily influenced by location — Electricians with Maintenance skills in Austin bring in salaries that are 22 percent lower than the national average. Not at the bottom but still paying below the median are employers in Tampa and Pittsburgh (16 percent lower and 14 percent lower, respectively).

Is this the Michigan Sniper? Far-right activist who bragged about carrying a gun every day is arrested for shooting at TWO DOZEN cars
- Suspect arrested in Wixom, the Detroit suburb where shootings began
- Targets in 24 incidents were mostly cars on roads near Interstate 96
Plea: Raulie Casteel, 43, has pleaded not guilty to eight counts of attempted murder on Friday after two dozens cars were shot on a Michigan highway
The man accused of terrifying suburban Detroit, Michigan, for two weeks by shooting at two dozen cars on the highway ranted about far-right-wing politics for months before the attacks.
Raulie Wayne Casteel, 43, bragged on his Twitter feed about carrying a handgun everyday and said President Obama should be arrested by the military and 'marched out of the White House in handcuffs.'
Police arrested him Sunday night at his home in Wixom, Michigan, near the epicenter of the seemingly random shootings.
His mother, who lives in Florida, has she her son is mentally ill and that she had tried and failed to get him help, but she never believed he would resort to violence.
Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth called the attacks, which wounded one person, 'domestic terrorism'.
He said: 'Why did he do it? I don't know. I don't know if we'll ever know.'
Sheriff Wriggelsworth said a tip - one of close to 3,000 that have come in - led authorities to the man's home. He declined to disclose what the suspect told investigators.
The shootings began on October 16 and stretched from Oakland County west to Ingham County.
The targets in the 24 reported incidents were mostly cars traveling on roads near Interstate 96. Only a handful of shootings actually occurred on the interstate.
The crime scene where the shootings took place is 100 miles long and slices through suburbia, shopping malls and farm pastures.
Shootings have
occurred during the day, at night, on weekdays and on weekends. Police
say the shooter would drive along roadways and fire at vehicles
traveling in the opposite direction. Only one person was wounded.
Scott Arnold, 46, from Kalamazoo, shot
in the buttocks as he drove along eastbound I-96 on October 27, heading
to a World Series game in Detroit. He was rushed to the hospital, but
did not suffer a life-threatening wound.
Initial reports of shootings stirred panic. Wixom schools restricted recess and other activities that would take students outdoors. Drivers avoided main thoroughfares where they might be exposed and stuck to side streets.
Janice Schumacher, 43, was pumping gas in Wixom when she heard that a suspect was in custody.
'I hope this is the guy,' said the Commerce Township resident who for the past several weeks has been using alternate routes to run personal errands and shuttle her three children to and from school.

'For weeks, I haven't been able to breathe while driving with my kids in the car. If they finally got this guy, that would be a major relief.'
Before the arrest, clues appeared to be few - slugs and bullet fragments embedded in cars, metal casings on roadways, a simple black-and-white sketch of the shooter and vague descriptions of the dark car he drove.
Michigan State Police Lt Michael Shaw told Mail Online investigators have not been able to determine a motive because Casteel requested a lawyer shortly after his arrested.
However, he said, detectives are looking into a possible connection between the shootings and his political posts on Twitter.
'It is something we are looking at as a possible part of the investigation we're not sure whether that has any connection with the case or not, but it is something we're aware of,' he said.
Casteel began making frequent posts about politics on his Twitter account in April. He frequently cited conservative pundits, but other more right-wing sources, as well.
Casteel, a married father, said he believed drivers were part of a government conspiracy against him
He also talked about 'open carry,' the practice of carrying a non-concealed handgun.
'The 2nd Amend is an absolute - absolutely no compromises - I carry everwhere I go!' he wrote on September 28.
He also frequently posted about the need to impeach the President.
'I want the arrest and impeachment of Barack Obamo. I've given the military the option of marching him out of the W.H. in handcuffs,' he wrote October 1.
He also said he had purchased a book called 'Hostile Takeover: Resisting Centralized Government's Stranglehold on America' by Tea Party activist William Morrow.
Lt Shaw said officers seized a 9mm pistol from Casteel's home. Pistol-caliber bullets were used in the highway shootings, though he could not confirm whether the bullets recovered were fire from Casteel's gun.
Lana Hunt, 62, who lives in Florida, told the Detroit Free Press that her son is mentally ill.
'He trusted me, but I could not get him to see a doctor,' she said.
