Fox Searchlight today announced that it has acquired North American rights to Wayne Wang's "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan," based on the best-seller by Lisa See. In a statement, Searchlight prexies Nancy Utley and Stephen Gilula said, "Wayne Wang has an incredible vision for creating beautifully moving films – there is a universal truth in his portrayals of women's stories. We are thrilled to be distributing this touching film about the unequivocal bond and devotion between friends." Set in both 19th C China as well as present day Shanghai, "Snow Flower" tells parallel stories about unbreakable bonds of friendship between two pairs of women. The deal was brokered by Fox Searchlight's Tony Safford and Megan O'Brien and IDG China Media's Ted Perkins, together with Stephen L. Saltzman of Loeb & Loeb. [Basil Tsiokos]

Comments about Men's Greenland Shearling Sheepskin Coat with Leather Trim:
I actually have been looking for a nice winter coat for almost four years. And I recently found this coat at the Santa Fe store. It has the angle pockets I wanted, inside zipper pockets on both sides, extremely soft and comfortable sheepskin,relatively light for a "heavy" and warm coat. The service was great - listened to what I had to say, gave me many options and the time and space I want to try, view and consider. I have many items of clothing that I wear for years, even decades ... this is a coat that I expect to wear for the rest of my life. Quality +++ and comfort +++ - What more could I ask for? Thanks.Bernie Linnartz, Taos, New Mexico

The Anti-Christie- by David Freedlander
Chris Christie casts a big political shadow—but one Democrat has stepped up to try to take him down a peg. David Freedlander reports.
Last week was not a good one for Barbara Buono. The longtime state lawmaker had the week before become the only Democrat in New Jersey with the temerity—or the lack of a sense of self-preservation—to jump into the governor's race against Chris Christie, he of the gargantuan girth, larger mouth, and still larger approval rating. On Tuesday, a Monmouth University poll put her 42 points down. More worrisome, nearly two thirds of Garden State voters said that Christie deserved a second term. He had just appeared on Late Night With David Letterman wolfing down doughnuts. A couple of unions had already endorsed the governor, and some Democratic leaders in the state signaled that they were about to do the same. On Wednesday, Christie was feted at the Silicon Valley home of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and was fending off questions from the Trenton press corps about whether or not his reelection campaign amounted to a coronation.
Then on Monday night, the SUV Buono was riding in made an ill-advised right turn and was slammed into by a Ford Escape; Buono was sitting in the back without a seatbelt, and ended up going to the hospital for a laceration above her right eye. The incident was a reminder of a car accident that former governor Jon Corzine had been in five years before, one that laid him up for several weeks and set him on the downward trajectory that would reach its nadir when he lost to the then little-known U.S. Attorney Christie in 2009.

Anderson Silva Pulling For Belfort Over Jones | UFC NEWS
Anderson Silva is rooting for his hometown guy, and he is doing so admittedly against someone he calls a friend.
In a recent interview with Brazil's SportTV, the UFC's middleweight champion proclaimed that against all odds, he will be rooting for Vitor Belfort to upset Jon jones at UFC 152 later this month.
Check out what Anderson had to say:
"It's difficult, because Jon Jones has a larger-than-normal wingspan and he's still very young. He's still in the phase where he's playing during the fight, really, but he doesn't have the responsibility of a champion. He fights with delight, jokingly, striking like I did back in 1930, when I started. Vitor has a great chance to defeat him. The biggest factor for Vitor is to use his explosiveness and his jiu-jitsu, where he is very good. But I think when one of them makes a mistake, the other will end up striking. As a Brazilian, I'll be rooting for the Brazilian, even though I have a very good friendship with Jon Jones. Whenever I'm with him, I ask him to conduct his career in a different way, because he is very young and is always asking me something. But I'll be rooting for Brazil, yes. May the best man win, but I'm rooting for Brazil."

So let me get this str8! Silva started mma in 1930? No wonder he's so great! Lmmfao!!
lol… my thoughts exactly
Silva the reincarnate LOL..
Who cares
real fight fans, that's who cares.
looks like Anderson is starting to hate this cocky "sum mum ah" bitch as well.
1930? Damn he's been competing at a such a high level for 82 years now. I do love how Brazilians are always rooting for the home guy, Total opposite here in the UK.
Jones should take silvas advice and listen when he said conduct his career in a different way.
Shut the Fiznuck up loser! get a life or GTFO!!
Could he have been attempting humor by saying 1930? He has been around awhile. #sarcasm?
The only one who gets it.
r u dizzy u mugs its called humor … he is no spring chicken and been a t highest levels of fighting for may years , get a sense of humor , and silvas a true patriot which i respect , hope vitor can do the so called impossible cos be great to c the old lion on top again
Maybe ck you think he's rootin for Belfort is because he wants an easy shot at the 205 title, he has cleaned out his division and does
It over and over I'm aware there are some new guys, but they dont have the time in. That way he doesn't have to fight his friend Jones. Does that sounld like something to far off. I'm sure Andy would love a chance to have 2 titles. hell maybe 3 of he does get the GSP fight and they do put titles on the line. If Vitor won the fight I'm sure Silva would fight him for the belt at 205. IDK kind of the feeling in getting of this.
3 belts in 3 different weightclasses, that would get him in the HoF.
he's already going in the hall of fame -__-
Oh really? I didn't know that…….
some people..
Hey Anderson grown some nuts and stop calling out the smaller 170lbs champ GSP and call jones out at 205 punk you have a history at 205 don't you but let's think about that for a second you are scared cause you know jones will smash you !!!
You do know Anderson also has a history in welter weight too right?
@sidekix second that he fought several fights below the 185 pound limit
STFU Michael Hamlin. Obviously you dont know anything otherwise youd know BOTH silva and jones said they will not fight eachother.
Youre right tho, silva needs to grow nuts and forget about the fact of having the most consecutive title defenses, most wins in UFC title fights, Most finishes in UFC title fights, Most consecutive wins in the UFC, Longest UFC title reign. Yeah damn that silva sure needs to grow some nuts!
Silva is right, Belfort has a great chance of beating Jones. Jones is still an amateur in my opinion. Yea he beat big name guys, but fuck that he beat a rusty Shogun who came off surgery, a Rampage that don't really give a damn and just wanted to knock Jones out, a bitter Rashad who is half his size.. Let's not forget how Lyoto Machida clearly out-struck Jones, Jones just used to his when he get in close (I think he got lucky as hell). Now to Belfort, the killer, the shark, regardless of the loss to Anderson and how, that move had never been seen in the UFC until then and Belfort for damn sure wasn't looking for it, lucky kick, but still good shit Silva. Belfort is a calculated killer, he is not scared of Jones, he will not back down. I gauran-DAMN-tee you Jones will RESPECT the standup of Belfort regardless of his reach advantage, lmao. Belfort ran through Tank Abbot and Tank was at 270 something….. …… Jones might be facing someone from a lower weight division, but I bet you he knows he is facing a fuckin head hunter… Fuck Rampage, Fuck Rashad.. Vitor will put the FEAR of GOD in Jones ; ) HOLLARD!

Dick Pope, the self-described "Salesman of Sunny Florida," carved a lakeside garden out of a swamp during the Great Depression. By 1938, Cypress Gardens had over 8,000 varieties of tropical and subtropical plants from all over the world, and electric boats toured the carefully landscaped park on the shores of Lake Eloise.
Over time, Pope's publicity talents helped to build central Florida into the tourism mecca that it is today.

In a season of constant roster changes, the Erie BayHawks add another player to their roster in former Stanford standout Jeremy Green.
A 6-4, 200-pound guard, Green declared for the NBA Draft after his junior season in 2010-11, but wasn't drafted. From Austin, Green averaged 16.7 ppg. and shot shot 42.9 percent from 3 in 2010-11.
Green is a talent, but was in the news at Stanford for more than just his on-court ability. In October of 2009, Green was suspended after being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence at a campus dormitory, but was reinstated before the opener. No charges were filed.
In November of 2010, Green collapsed from experiencing dizziness and stomach pain due to exhaustion moments after a game against DePaul.
Green, who had a stomach virus and had trouble keeping food down, rejoined the team.
In April of last year, Green was suspended from the team for academic reasons, but his eligibility would have not been affected had he returned to school. Green chose to enter the draft.
Now considering he was a first-team All-Pac 10 (Now Pac-12) performer as a junior, Green can play. Has the size to play shooting guard and gives Erie some offensive balance, but again, this is another player Erie will try to fuse into it's system in a short time frame.
At the end of the day, if all his other issues are in the past, then Green may be in the right place at the right time.

When you live on the shores of Lake Erie, it makes sense to open a service garage with a nautical theme.
Pat Shaugnessy is the proprietor of Maritime Muffler & Brake, a small service garage specializing in muffler and brake work. Shaugnessy, with 20 years experience in automotive, opened his own shop eight weeks ago after leaving an area franchise muffler shop. Thick nautical rope, also called line, decorates the clean lobby.
"I have a philosophy [of] treat people right, don't sell them things they don't need and they will come back," Shaugnessy said. "We can do just about anything. I won't get into engines or transmission rebuilds."
They are not looking to take advantage of anyone, knowing repeat customers and referrals will build a strong business.
Maritime Muffler most often will beat the price of any competitor on the work they do, including saving customers significant amounts of money on new tires, he said.
Kent McConolay, the technician at the shop, has 25 years of experience as a mechanic and can fix just about any mechanical problem with a vehicle.
"I will get it done the best possible way and make the customer happy," McConolay said.
In an economy where people are still struggling, Shaugnessy will help prioritize for people the importance of repairs to keep their vehicle on the road.
Small service garages are as much Small Town USA as white picket fences, kids on bikes, and at Maritime Muffler, neighbors helping neighbors.

Health Informatics (HI) professionals and researchers manage and interpret health data, information and knowledge through information technology and computational tools, bringing together the worlds of healthcare, information technology, computer science, information science, and business. HI professionals closely examine how information is generated, recorded, processed, used, and disposed. Every facet of the information flow is examined, including devices, standards, terminologies, guidelines, and knowledge management. Every step of the way, HI professionals ask how technology can become smarter and how better practices can help improve quality of care and reduce cost.
One of the challenges facing our health care system today is the communication gap between clinicians and healthcare professionals who are not trained in advanced technology and technology experts who do not understand medicine and the specifics of health care delivery. A Health Informatics degree helps bridge that gap which is especially important now due to federal health care reforms that require providers to better utilize information technology in health care delivery.

HOPE MILLS,NC (WWAY) — South View High School has named Trelonnie Ownes its new assistant varsity basketball coach. Owens will serve under South View varsity coach Nathan Faulk who previously coached at South Columbus. Prior to South Columbus Faulk assisted Fred Lynch at Laney High School in Wilmington.
Trelonnie Owens graduated from Bladenboro High School. He led the Bulldogs to the state 1-A title in 1990 and was named player of the year by the NCHSAA. Owens played collegiately at Wake Forest. He even had a productive professional career playing professional basketball. Most of his pro years were spent in South America.
At Bladenboro High School Trelonnie's friends called him "Tree" because he took up a lot of space on the basketball court. Bladenbro High is no longer a high school, nor are any of the schools that made up the Southern 8 Conference. Here's a list of the teams Bladenboro played twice each season during the Trelonnie Owens era: Acme-Delco, Clarkton, Hallsboro, Nakina, Tabor City, Tar Heel and Williams Township. Some people around Bladen County and Columbus still say, "those were the days."

A "rm_init_adapter failed" story (and solution)
I have seen a lot of people who are getting the "rm_init_adapter
failed" message but have been unable to solve the problem, so here is
my story on how I solved it.
I recently bought a very cheap bulk GeForce2 MX200 video card. The card
was announced to be a Creative card and had a small white sticker on
it saying Creative. Since the card was sold as a bulk version there
were no drivers distributed with it.
Being an experienced Linux and GeForce user I decided to install the
card on my Debian SID box, I figured: "this can only take five
minutes". Boy, was I wrong. I inserted the card and used the nice new
nVidia installer. Everything went smooth and the installer even
compiled and installed the driver correctly against my "home made"
Linux 2.4.20 kernel. Happy about how easy it had become to install the
nVidia drivers, I wrote "startx" BAAAAMM!! X did not start!
Looking the Xfree86 log I got:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
And /var/log/messages had:
1: NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed
After consulting the nVidia FAQ for possible reasons, I found that it
could either be the /dev/nvidia* that was not created or that the
kernel driver was not compiled correctly. Neither was the case.
Then I compiled the drivers with debugging information and got the
following messages:
1: NVRM: RmInitAdapter:
1: NVRM: RmSetupRegisters for 0x10de:0x111
1: NVRM: pci config info:
1: NVRM: registers look like: 0xe0000000 0x1000000
1: NVRM: fb looks like: 0xd8000000 0x8000000
1: NVRM: Successfully mapped framebuffer and registers
1: NVRM: final mappings:
1: NVRM: regs: 0xe0000000 0x1000000 0xd0a40000
1: NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed!
1: tearing down registers
1: NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed
This did not give me any more clues on what the problem
was. Hmmm... maybe my card was broken? Changing to XFree86's nv driver
2D was working like charm, so this was not the case.
Now it was time to look in the BIOS configuration, especially at the
two options: "PnP OS" and "Assign IRQ for VGA". Both of these where
also correctly configured.
Running out of ideas I booted the box into Windows 98 and downloaded
the nVidia reference driver for Windows. No luck, the card said "Card
could not start (code 10)". Then I tried Windows 2000: same
deal. Finally I installed Windows XP and now the card was working with
the default Windows XP nVidia card drivers but still not with nVidia's
reference drivers.
Since my card was labeled as a Creative card, I went to the Creative
home page and downloaded some drivers. Still no luck. Now looking at
the output from 'lspci':
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR]
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 8261
it might be a MSI card and not a Creative card!?! Anyway, on to the
MSI home page, download and install the drivers. Still no luck!
Being very low on ideas, I started reading the GeForce FAQ:
In this FAQ there is a small section about flashing the video card
BIOS. After reading this fine section I went to:
http://www.gforcex.com/bios_johan/index2.htm and downloaded nvflash
and a BIOS for my GeForce2 MX200. Then I created a floppy and booted
to DOS. From DOS I used nvflash to backup my current video BIOS and
flashed it with BIOS I had just downloaded. All this went without any
errors, though I had to ignore that the vendor strings was not
matching. I crossed my fingers and rebooted to Windows XP and
installed the nVidia reference drivers. They where working!!! I then
rebooted into Linux and here the nVidia drivers where working as well.
Wooohooo! After 8 hours of frustration and a lot of googling I got a
working nVidia card (and a fresh installation of Windows XP)
WARNING: now this is not an invitation for everybody to start flashing
the video BIOS. I am pretty sure that this can go wrong and destroy your
video card. I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully save
some people a lot of time and money.
Best regards

I also have errors similar to your's. But that's only sometimes. Usually X starts normally and hangs after a few minutes/hours. I am desperated and ready to try your method. You mentioned something about card destroying. Is that possible? I have a laptop and GeForce4 420 Go, so I don't want to risk it. Another thing - my BIOS doesn't have
"Plug and Play OS" or "Allocate IRQ to PCI-VIDEO...". I am desperated. Can someone at last help me?

Not hanging...
My X did *not* hang but was unable to initialize the card and therefore unable to start.
Try tweaking the agp options etc. before flashing the BIOS and do read the section about BIOS flashing in the GeForce faq. This section describes the consequenses of video BIOS flashing.

rm_init_adapter error
Top bloke! As you say, there are lots of reports but few solutions for this problem, which I have seen in RH7.3 + XFree 4.0.2 (so I changed distros ) and now in Mandrake 9.1 + XFree 4.3.
A quick question about cards... I have a "Creative GeForce2 MX200 32MB-SDR-AGP" according to the lettering on the box, but lspci gives '01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2)'
Is the SDR/DDR thing important?

Yes, OK, now I've Read the Fine FAQ and I understand that SDR memory is different to DDR. I guess this means that I am at risk of choosing the wrong bios to flash... scary stuff.
Another query for Lars - what do you think are the correct settings for PnP OS and Allocate VGA IRQ? I had to experiment with these *a lot* when I first installed Linux on this hardware, and it's not ideal now, because it's dual boot Mandrake and Win98, so I have to keep both OSes happy.

I also had my conserns about choosing the right video BIOS for SDR/DDR, but the download page only had one video BIOS for my card. I do not know if it was a SDR or a DDR video BIOS but it works. Maybe these two video BIOS' has been conbined.
As for BIOS configuration, I have always been running with "PnP OS" set to off/false and "Assign IRQ to VGA" set to on/true.
My Win98 has never been unhappy with these settings.

"PnP OS" does not mean "PnP OS" like you're probably thinking of it. If it's set to yes, then it means "don't have the BIOS initialize all devices; let the OS initialize the ones that aren't needed to boot". If it's set to no, then it means "the BIOS should initialize everything itself".
It doesn't matter what you set this to, all Windows versions should work (except perhaps 95, but who cares about that? -- and in any case, 95 might only fail with the setting on; every OS will work with it off). But the vast majority of non-Windows OSes NEED it to be off, so the BIOS initializes everything itself.
"Assign IRQ to VGA" is a bit like this, but its name actually reflects what it does. With that setting off, Windows is the only OS in existence that I know of that will work properly. Every other OS that I've ever heard of NEEDS this setting to be on, so that the video card gets an IRQ assigned to it.

Many years ago my friend's nine-year -old daughter suggested the family buy a motor home so they could drive to Hawaii.

Tips To Prevent Memory Loss As You Age
(StatePoint) You may not realize it, but you can take steps to keep your brain fit and flexible as you age. In fact, some experts now say that through proper diet and routine mental health exercises, you even can delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease long enough to avoid experiencing the symptoms.
"The sooner you start to protect your brain against Alzheimer's, the sooner you will notice improvement -- not only in recall and mental focus, but also in energy level, mood, general health, and sense of well-being," says Dr. Gary Small, M.

The tragic mass killings on Monday at the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard appear to be unrelated to terrorism and will probably turn out to be another appalling but isolated act by a troubled individual whose private motives may never be known.
It follows a number of highly publicized mass killings in recent years, but whether it or they represent an identifiable and special failure of public policy is an open question. And as the Pew Research Center notes, such shootings rivet national attention but represent a very small share of firearms violence.
A recent study by the Congressional Research Service found that there were 78 incidents of public mass shootings between 1983 and 2012, killing 547 people and injuring another 476. A "public mass shooting" refers to those that happen in public and have at least four victims chosen somewhat indiscriminately. To put these numbers in perspective, in Chicago there were 500 murders in 2012 alone, according to FBI statistics.
In the horrific incident in Washington, 12 people working at the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters were killed by the gunman, Aaron Alexis, who was then killed by police after a gun battle lasting more than half an hour. Another eight persons were injured, three by gunfire.
Among the questions still not fully answered are the state of the gunman's mental health, his motive and how he was able to bring a shotgun into a secure Navy facility.
The apparent answer to the last question is that Mr. Alexis, a Navy veteran, carried a pass allowing him to drive into the Navy Yard in his capacity as an employee of a contractor working for the Navy. The Navy has announced that it is reviewing its base security procedures.
His employer has said Mr. Alexis would not have been hired and given a security clearance if his troubled background and brushes with the law had been a part of his Navy record.
According to The New York Times, investigating officials have found that Mr. Alexis had showed a pattern of mental instability for more than a decade.
On one occasion he was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, for shooting through the ceiling of his apartment into the apartment of an upstairs neighbor with whom he had an altercation. Even after that incident, the Navy gave him an honorable discharge.
This is a sad but familiar tale: A troubled individual somehow eludes badly needed psychiatric treatment even after exhibiting dangerous behavior, with no red flags having been attached to his record warning of potential trouble to come.
With a population of more than 310 million, in a nation that values individual liberty, there are undoubtedly more than a few such troubled and dangerous individuals.
As Americans keep finding to our sorrow, these rare cases can lead to major tragedy.

Use of FIA plot data in the LANDFIRE Project
Toney, Chris; Rollins, Matthew; Short, Karen; Frescino, Tracey; Tymcio, Ron; Peterson, Birgit. 2007. Use of FIA plot data in the LANDFIRE Project. In: McRoberts, Ronald E.; Reams, Gregory A.; Van Deusen, Paul C.; McWilliams, William H., eds. Proceedings of the Seventh Annual Forest Inventory and Analysis Symposium; 2005 October 3-4; Portland, ME. Gen. Tech. Report WO-77. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. p. 309-319
LANDFIRE is an interagency project that will generate consistent maps and data describing vegetation, fire, and fuel characteristics across the United States within a 5-year timeframe. Modeling and mapping in LANDFIRE depend extensively on a large database of georeferenced field measurements describing vegetation, site characteristics, and fuel. The LANDFIRE Reference Database (LFRDB) incorporates existing data from numerous sources along with new data targeting specific ecosystems. This article describes the contribution of Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data to the LFRDB. Plot selection, quality assurance procedures, and geoprocessing applied to FIA data in LANDFIRE are discussed. We also describe the use of FIA data as inputs to several modeling and mapping processes. Several characteristics of the FIA sample design and field methods are beneficial to modeling vegetation distributions in LANDFIRE. In addition, tree-level attributes afforded by FIA data are essential to developing canopy fuel layers and are generally unavailable from other existing datasets. Ongoing and potential collaboration between FIA and LANDFIRE is identified.

The next pedal from Trick Drums with new features and an oversized footboard.
The Pro 1-V Bigfoot by Trick Drums is almost identical to the Pro 1-V short board with the exception of the 13-inch footboards. The longer footboard and lack of a heel block suits any style and is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing trends in kick pedals. What makes the Trick pedals the most unique is that a double pedal can be split to become two single pedals.
The long footboards change the pivot point of the kick pedals and gives the player more foot room. It is rumored that this type of design caters better to certain styles such as heel-toe. The pedal is constructed with all machined parts and aerospace-grade bearings for superior quality and durability. Each pedal is hand-assembled and inspected.
The Pro 1-V Bigfoot also has a host of features designed with the drummer in mind and most of which are protected by US patents. The innovations include a split-cam for independent pedal/beater adjustments, a height-adjustment cluster to adjust the stroke speed of the pedal and much more.
The last, but certainly not least, notable feature of the Trick pedals is the ZERO latency ZERO backlash drive shaft. This drive shaft, for the double pedals, operates on 8 bearings and is the cleanest and fastest in the world. This takes the pedal to a whole new level.

The Houston woman charged in a day care fire that killed four toddlers turned herself in today to U.S. officials in Nigeria, according to her brother.
Ron Tata told ABC station KTRK-TV in Houston this morning that his sister, 22-year-old Jessica Tata, surrendered today in Nigeria, where she fled following the Feb. 24 fire.
U.S. government officials have not confirmed that the woman is in custody, but Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee also said embassy officials told her Jessica Tata had turned herself in.
Tata, who ran Jackie's Child Care out of her home in Houston, was charged in February with one count of reckless bodily injury to a child, and bond was set at $500,000. But prosecutors realized that Tata had already fled the country.
She now faces four manslaughter charges as well as 10 other charges, including reckless injury of a child and child abandonment.
Toddlers Elizabeth Kajoh, Kendyll Stradford, Elias Castillo and Shomari Dickerson died in the fire at the west Houston home day care.
Prosecutors allege that Tata left the children alone in the house while she went shopping, and while she was gone, the fire broke out on a stove-top burner that had been left on. She told investigators she was in the bathroom when the fire started.
Extradition agreements between the United States and Nigeria state that in cases of manslaughter, individuals can be sent back to their home country, which is expected to quicken her return to face charges.
Tiffany Amber Dickerson, the mother of 3-year-old Shomari Dickerson and Makayla Dickerson, who is still recovering from severe burns, said she was glad Tata turned herself in.
"I'm very happy that her guilt finally came over her," Dickerson said, adding that she cannot express what she's like to say to Tata if she were able to speak with her today.
The fact that Tata was able to leave the country while prosecutors and fire officials were investigating the fatal fire outraged many in the Houston area.
The Harris County District Attorney's office told ABC News affiliate KTRK they did not know Tata was a flight risk and were unaware that she had left the country until the Monday following the fire.
But Houston Fire Marshal Richard Galvan told the Houston Chronicle that an arson investigator warned prosecutors they had learned Tata might be preparing to leave the country.
The U.S. Marshals enlisted the Houston Fire Department and Harris County District Attorneys to assist in the search for Tata, Deputy U.S. Marshal Alfredo Perez said.
According to an affidavit in the case, Tata was allegedly shopping at Target at the time the fire started.
"If she had to go to the store, why wouldn't she take them. She had a big van for all the kids to go," Dickerson said. "It's so much to give your trust to someone with a baby you've carried for nine months."
The 22-year-old mom was working as a technician at West Houston Medical Center the day of the fire, when two of the seven injured children were brought in.
Dickerson didn't know that the children were from the day care she used until she got a phone call from her 5-year-old daughter's school asking why no one had picked up the little girl after class.
Dickerson called Jackie's Child Care, the day care run out of Tata's home.
"A man's voice answered and said, 'I'm so sorry. There's been a fire and all the children have been rushed to the hospital.' I just dropped to the floor," she said.

Thanks to the wonderful BonnieGrrl for pointing out this shockingly good Star Wars/Doctor Who mash-up video. Not all of the computer effects are perfect, but some are totally awesome, and at the very least, the shot of Karen Gillan/Amy Pond turning on a lightsaber made me feel the Force deep in my naughty bits. If George Lucas wanted to throw her in a few shots of the Special Special Editions, I honestly don't think I'd mind.

The latest poll of Afghan opinion by ABC News, the BBC, and ARD of Germany — their fifth since 2005 — contains both good news and bad. Naturally the BBC account accentuates the negative: "People in Afghanistan have far less confidence in the direction their country is taking than four years ago, a new BBC/ABC opinion poll suggests." But dig a little deeper in the full poll results and you find that, while more Afghans than ever before think their country is headed in the "wrong direction" (38 percent, up from 24 percent in 2007), due primarily to lack of security, only 4 percent would like to be ruled by the Taliban; 82 percent prefer the current government. Hamid Karzai's popularity rating has slipped; today he is rated as "excellent" by only 16 percent, down from 26 percent in 2007 and a whopping 45 percent in 2005. But if you combine the number who still rate him as an "excellent," "good," or "fair" leader, you still get to 81 percent of the population; only 18 percent describe him as a "poor" president.
Moreover, while support for the U.S. has fallen, largely, I suspect, because U.S. troops haven't delivered security for most people, 63 percent still support the presence of U.S. troops (36 percent oppose), and 69 percent think the U.S.-led overthrow of the Taliban in 2001 was a good thing. By contrast, Taliban fighters are supported by just 8 percent of the population and opposed by 90 percent. Moreover, when asked who is to blame for the violence occurring in their country, only 18 percent blame the U.S.; 49 percent blame the Taliban or foreign jihadists.
In short, this polls suggests that, though the U.S. has its work cut out for it in Afghanistan, there is a considerable base of public support that our troops can tap into — and more important, public revulsion against the enemy they are fighting, the Taliban. The Russians in the 1980s had nowhere near this level of support. If NATO forces do a better job of beating back the Taliban, expect their support to go from merely high, which it is today, back to the stellar levels recorded in 2005, when 68 percent gave the U.S. forces good or excellent marks for their job performance (now down to 32 percent).

The Regulatory Commission of Alaska has approved an increase in Juneau's electricity rates. After 16 months of study, review and several public hearings, the commission says Alaska Electric Light and Power is justified in raising rates another 4 percent, effective immediately.
The RCA released the order about 8 p.m. Friday.
The privately owned utility company requested the 24 percent increase in May 2010. The commission allowed the company to begin charging 20 percent of that in July 2010.
The across the board rate hike actually shows up less on monthly bills, says AELP spokesman Scott Willis:
"The interim rate raised the average electric bill about 18 and a half percent and the final rate raised it to a total of 22 percent," Willis says.
Customers will now see an increase of about 3 and a half percent. In monetary terms, that's about $2 to $3 more a month at an average household use of 750 kilowatt hours per month.
The commission's 44-page order details all the arguments put forth by the company, the state attorney general's office and a citizen's group, Juneau People Power Project. Listen to Morning Edition for more details.

"That's so gay!" is a put-down that sends a message that we're not welcoming of people of all sexual orientations. Our words and phrases and slang expressions can have a big impact on the climate of the campus, even when we don't mean it that way. When we hear comments like this, it's helpful if we can participate in the conversation to try to educate or to let others know that we don't agree. "Could you please repeat what you said?" or "What did you mean by that?" might be ways to respond. We can add: "I don't find that very inclusive. What if instead you said 'That's so silly?'" Together, we can find words and expressions that don't diminish others, in order to foster a campus where all feel welcomed.

Suicide in Newfoundland and Labrador: A Linkage Study Using Medical Examiner and Vital Statistics Data
Edwards, Nicole, Alaghehbandan, Reza, MacDonald, Don, Sikdar, Khokan, Collins, Kayla, Avis, Simon, Canadian Journal of Psychiatry
Objective: To examine suicide epidemiology in Newfoundland and Labrador from 1997 to 2001.
Method: Data from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (CME) were linked with data derived from the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess variation of rates. We used the chi-square test to compare categorical data.
Results: The CME recorded 225 suicide deaths, compared with 187 in the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database. Most deaths not coded as suicide in the national database were coded as accidental. Using the CME data, the overall suicide rate was 9.5/100 000, aged 10 years and older. The rate among males (15.8/100 000, 95%CI, 10.7 to 20.8) was almost 5 times that of females (3.3/100 000; 95%CI, 1.0 to 5.5). Age-standardized rates decreased over the study period, from 10.9 to 8.0/100 000; however, the difference was not significant. The proportionate mortality ratio for suicide deaths was highest among those aged 10 to 19 years (20.0%) and decreased with age. The suicide rate was highest among those aged 50 to 59 years. The rate for unpartnered individuals (17.0/100 000, 95%CI, 10.7 to 23.0) was significantly higher, compared with partnered individuals (5.1/100 000; 95%CI, 2.5 to 7.8). Males used more violent methods than females. Suicide was significantly higher in Labrador (27.7/100 000, 95%CI, 18.4 to 37.0), an area with a higher Aboriginal population, compared with the island of Newfoundland (8.5/100 000, 95%CI, 7.3 to 9.7). Psychiatric illness was the most common predisposing factor.
Conclusions: Suicide deaths are highest among males, unpartnered individuals, and individuals with psychiatric disorders.
Can J Psychiatry 2008;53(4):252-259
Clinical Implications
* Psychiatric illness is a common, predisposing factor for suicide.
* Males and individuals who are unpartnered are at a higher risk of suicide than their partnered counterparts.
* Evidence suggests that suicide is underreported in national statistics in Canada.
* Not all psychiatric conditions were confirmed using DSM-IV criteria; however, CME records indicated medical care for psychiatric illness.
* Estimates of predisposing factors may be underestimated owing to the limited information available for some individuals.
* Partnered status might not be accurately reflected because any individual living common law would have been classified as single or unpartnered.

Suicide is a significant, but largely preventable, public health concern. In 2000, about 1 million people worldwide died from suicide, representing a global mortality rate of 14.5/100 000, or 1 death every 40 seconds.1 Worldwide, suicide rates have increased by 60% in the last 45 years.2 Although it is well known that suicide is highest among males and rates tend to increase with age, rates among young individuals have been increasing at a greater pace than in the elderly, a phenomenon that has been referred to as the ungreying of suicide.3
The most recent data available for Canada indicates that suicide claimed more than 3700 lives in 2003.4 The overall age-standardized suicide rate in Canada for 2003 was 11.3/100 000: 17.8/100 000 males and 5.1/100 000 females.4 Trend data indicate an overall decline in the suicide rate in Canada from 1979 and 1998.5
The accuracy of official statistics has been the subject of debate for decades and it is generally recognized that suicide tends to be underreported in all jurisdictions.6 It has been suggested that underreporting is attributable to numerous factors, including aspects of the death certification process; knowledge, attitudes, or practices of individuals responsible for certification; cultural, religious, and legal considerations; limitations in the system for gathering and compiling suicide data; and the ambiguous nature of some suicidal acts. …

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) - North Korea says it will launch a long-range rocket between Dec. 10 and Dec. 22.
The launch will heighten already strained tensions with South Korean ahead of its presidential election on Dec. 19.
North Korea tried in April to launch a long-range rocket but it broke apart shortly after liftoff. The North's Korean Committee for Space Technology said Saturday that it had "analyzed the mistakes that were made" in the April launch and had improved the rocket.

A police report said the Laoag City-bound jeepney (AVZ 924) tried to overtake another vehicle when it collided with the truck (TGW 104) carrying tomato paste.
Region 1 police director Chief Supt. Franklin Jesus Bucayu ordered an in-depth investigation on the accident to give justice to the family of the victims. — with Amita Legaspi/RSJ/DVM, GMA News

G.E. Smith, a "most hated man in rock?" He's a footnote in the Hall and Oates and SNL catalogs. If you're into destroying icons, he's...not really an icon. Thought I'd let you know.
I could go on about artist selection and omission, but it would be as pointless as the article itself. In the future, how about some real coverage of local artists or musical trends, something that's newsworthy and not sophomoric.
Lance Tilford

Youth Will Be Served: Not only did Mike Seely insult very talented musicians, it felt as if he was insulting the people who love them. I can honestly say that at least half of the artists mentioned didn't belong on such a list, and obviously Mr. Seely is quite mistaken.
How he managed to go about saying such awful things about those people is beyond me. It's not exactly my generation of music; I'm only thirteen. I don't know who could hate Carlos Santana, John Cougar Mellencamp or even Adam Levine (the talented frontman of Maroon 5). I bet if you went to a concert of any one of the "Hated Men," you could easily see that there is more love in that concert stadium than there ever was for a music critic. Even if it was a William Hung concert, more people would respect that young man's courage to go up there and portray his talent (or lack thereof) than to hear Simon Cowell rant about "how dreadful" he sounds.
Angela Moltrup

The Bob Weir Marching and Chowder Society will now come to order: Besides the fact that most of the "hated" people are talented enough to earn a living at an art form many starve at, these individuals are by far more talented than Mike Seely. But my main concern lies in the fact that Bob Weir is listed.
If Seely was versed in the years and ways of the Grateful Dead, he'd understand that Weir was a striving influence in the Grateful Dead style throughout all 30-plus years. Obviously Seely has little understanding of what makes the GD experience, and he should keep his moronic babbling out of an art form he knows nothing about. Weir found key additions, like B. Mydland, and added great styles of music that are revealed in tunes like "Samson and Delilah" and "Minglewood Blues." The GD was not and will never be a Garcia-only show (that's what JGB was for -- that's Jerry Garcia Band). Today Deadheads are lucky enough to have PLQ and Ratdog, two bands that are more musically able than most new musicians on the scene will ever be.
I am going to go on a hunch that Seely has no experience in music, let alone knowledge of the Grateful Dead, their history and what they evolved from. If he were well-versed, he wouldn't put down a man who sang over 60 percent of the Grateful Dead's songs in addition to the variety of other aspects of our world Bob Weir has affected. How many musicians that are so "hated" save thousands of acres of rainforest every year while performing over 100 shows (where each one is different)?

Who you calling anal retentive? I'm straining very hard not to lace this correspondence with the obscenities that the anal-retentive Mike Seely is seeking to elicit from baby boomers such as myself. How can you presume to write about such lunacy?
When the Beatles were first exposed to the U.S. audiences, the record label and promoters may have thought they had a boy band, but this group was anything but. Through their tenure, the band continued to evolve and produce fresh and revolutionary forms of music. This "overrated boy band" is one of the cornerstones of the music you still refer to as rock today. I can't think of any serious musician who would discount the Beatles (any of them!) as a boy band.
Seely, you must be relatively young or just ignorant. Don't try to rewrite history. Every album that the Beatles produced displayed evidence of a unit that was never complacent. Of course, John Lennon is one of my musical heroes but I refuse to discount any of McCartney's efforts. Since the demise of the Beatles, what should he have done to placate idiots like Seely? Stop playing or composing?
For that matter, why can't Carlos explore new idioms? Yeah, I loved Jerry Garcia's guitar playing, but he wasn't onstage alone. He is dead -- what the hell is the rest of the band supposed to do?
I can respect a cat like David Byrne. But Seely writes as though he's some kind of rock purist. Please! For years jazz musicians have endured the "sellout" label when they attempted to make their music more accessible. This juvenile assessment of people who play for a living is asinine to say the least. Seely enjoys a forum to express his narrow view of what is and is not rock. I guess I'm just too old and out of touch. But I enjoy people like Sting.
Are musicians not supposed to be popular? Does their artistic and musical integrity automatically come into question when they acquire a certain level of popularity? If Hendrix were alive, or Jim Morrison for that matter, what would they be doing in 2004?

Pretty Little Liars
What Happens When Toby's Secret Is Discovered? Pretty Little Liars Spoiler Roundup
Toby's (Keegan Allen) secret won't stay hidden for much longer on Pretty Little Liars Season 3B, and we can't wait to see what happens when he gets found out.
Until it happens on screen, the best we can do is round up the juiciest spoilers for what's going to go down when the bombshell explodes.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
When does it happen? At least one of the Liars finds out the truth in this upcoming episode, Season 3, Episode 16: "Misery Loves Company." Based on this preview and this interview with Lindsey Shaw (Paige McCullers), it seems like that Liar is Spencer (Troian Bellisario).
How does it happen? According to Keegan Allen Toby slips up, and that's how a Liar figures out the truth.
How does Spencer find out? According to Keegan, the way Spencer finds out the truth is really terrible and painful. We're thinking she might catch him in a slip up on their anniversary, which is happening in Episode 16.
Spencer's emotional arc. We will see a "deep," complicated, and emotional arc for Spencer after she finds out the truth, and you better bet it's not pretty. But while Spencer is emotionally destroyed, in some ways that also frees her up to become even more powerful.
We will get an explanation for Toby's choices. Don't worry. Why Toby is part of the "A" team will definitely be explored in depth.
A lot of drama. The reveal is just the beginning of the Toby drama. According to Keegan, Toby will be very involved in the later half of the season. "He is responsible for a lot of issues that happen later on in the season ... He is very active in taking part in the destruction later on," and "there is a lot of interaction between Toby and the girls, not only in a malicious way but in a mind-bending kind of way. He really pushes the girls to their breaking point."

Ohio's Kasich talks politics
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ohio Governor John Kasich didn't flatly rule out running for president in 2016 when questioned on national television.
Kasich told an interviewer on "Fox News Sunday" that he was "flattered" that people talk about him as a potential presidential candidate. But he says his focus now is on being re-elected and on Ohio. The Republican governor spent much of the interview Sunday talking about his administration's policies that he says have spurred job growth.
Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald's campaign said in a release Sunday that Kasich's jobs creation agency has created no measurable growth.
Kasich also was questioned about failed efforts to limit public employees' collective bargaining rights.
Voters rejected that proposal at the polls in 2011.
The governor said he won't renew that fight, adding "the voters spoke."

At all.
Sure, but if someone is probing you on a public network (i.e. one of the other machines on the same LAN), your computer is going to be responsive. Additionally, if someone happens to join a LAN and is infected with a worm that your machine is vulnerable to, you're at risk.
In my professional experience as a network admin for more than a decade now, I'll have to humbly disagree with you on this point. Sure, if you're having connectivity problems, by all means, don't run a software firewall. But I can tell you that I've had my software firewall turned on and in stealth mode both on my Windows machines and my Macs for quite a long time now and never have I had an issue that was directly attributable to the firewall being turned on. With that said, I have had to repair customer machines infected by worms that exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Windows that would otherwise have been safe if they were firewalled at the client. In particular, the CodeRed and Blaster worms should have been a wake-up call to any Windows user considering not running a software firewall. Those worms were the reason that MS finally forced the firewall on by default when they released SP2 for XP.
In my opinion, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - especially with Apple's lackadaisical attitude toward patching security vulnerabilities.

Tipping Is Not...
by Rocky
posted Dec 6 2012 12:08PM
I remember as a kid seeing a white bucket at the car wash with a handwritten sign that read: "Tipping is not a city in China." It was years before I got the joke!
As we wind down another year it's time to THANK all the people that help you out on a regular basis.
But what do you tip? How much is enough?
In most cases, the cost of one visit (hairstylist, cleaning person, personal trainer) is cool.
The way I look at it is if they provide me with a service on a regular basis, like Art our snowplow guy or Dave the Mailman, AND do a good job, then they definitely deserve something extra at the end of the year.
This season is about GIVING not receiving.
I can't believe how many listeners this morning texted "I never get nothing, so I don't tip." Wow!!!
Obviously, if you are on a tight budget, it can be difficult to tip during the holidays.
And if that's the case, a card of appreciation or simple THANK YOU is enough.
I 'd love your take on holiday tipping.
Here's what the financial website
Cleaning person: the cost of one visit.
Dog Walker: up to a week's pay.
Hairstylist: the normal cost of a visit.
Letter Carrier: the U.S. Postal Service forbids carriers from accepting cash, and says gifts must be under $20 in value.
Newspaper Delivery Person: $10 to $30 unless you tip regularly throughout the year.
Nursing Home Worker: a personal gift like homemade cookies or fudge is a good way to thank someone.
Personal Trainer: a tip of $50 or the cost of a session
Teacher: consider giving a small gift, accompanied by a note or drawing by your child.
Trash Collectors: $10-$30.
