Second murder suspect's case goes to grand jury
HUNTINGTON -- A second man charged in this month's double homicide in Huntington will remain behind bars while prosecutors prepare the case for a grand jury.
Thomas Maurice White, 21, heard the ruling Tuesday at the conclusion of a preliminary hearing in Cabell County Magistrate Court.
An investigator testified White killed Darrell Fugua, 22, during a drug-related robbery along Foster Avenue which also injured DeVante Penn, 17, who later died.
The victims, both of Detroit, were shot about 10:30 a.m. Nov. 6, at 1939 Foster Ave., a residence described in court documents and testimony as a drug house that contained a significant amount of heroin.
Testimony involving that motive leans upon the statement of codefendant Rocky Hudson Williams, who told investigators he and White went to the residence to get drugs. Investigators also have fingerprint evidence linking White to the case.
Williams, 19, and White, both of Huntington, each face two counts of murder during the commission of a felony. They are detained without bond.
Huntington Police Detective Chris Sperry cited Williams' video-recorded police statement in testifying White met with Fugua in an upstairs bedroom where gunshots were fired soon thereafter.
The sight of White returning downstairs while bleeding from a gunshot wound to his own leg prompted Williams to fire a spray of gunshots as both men exited the residence, Sperry testified. Investigators believe one of those bullets severed Penn's femoral arty.
The teenager used his last breaths of consciousness to pinpoint Williams as his shooter in a statement to police. He died days later, Nov. 10, at St. Mary's Medical Center, Sperry testified.
Defense attorney Tim Rosinsky urged Magistrate Patty Verbage-Spence to dismiss White's murder charge. He argued police have weak evidence that a robbery occurred. The absence of such evidence would undercut the investigators' charge of murder during the commission of robbery.
"I don't know if they can prove a felony occurred upstairs other than the actual murder itself, which we don't even know if (White) fired the shot," Rosinsky said. "So I would say, based upon that, I think this is charged wrong."
Verbage-Spence disagreed. That gives prosecutors time to review evidence and present the case for possible indictment. Such a process could result in a different strategy and/or additional charges.
Sperry testified investigators found White's fingerprints on a .40 caliber handgun found inside a vehicle parked near the crime scene. They also found a portion of White's palmprint on the vehicle's passenger-side window.
Police also have a witness who spotted two men running from the crime scene, including one carrying a handgun and pulling his leg as if it had been shot, Sperry testified.
A passerby then noticed White struggling and offered him a ride to Cabell Huntington Hospital. White claimed to have been the victim of a drive-by shooting, a story later refuted by doctors who believe the wound might have been self-inflicted due to its direction being straight down as if the weapon discharged while in a waistband.
Investigators have not determined the caliber of the bullet that wounded White, due to the medical decision to leave the bullet in White's leg to avoid further nerve damage.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, 2010 A military commission at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, sentenced a Sudanese man to 14 years' confinement yesterday for material support he provided al-Qaida in the years leading up to its Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, military officials reported.
Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi, 50, pleaded guilty July 7 to two charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism and providing material support to al-Qaida from August 1996 until his capture in December 2001.
Prosecutors presented evidence that al Qosi performed an important function in al-Qaida's ability to recruit and train operatives and to plan attacks against the United States, as ordered by Osama bin Laden. Al Qosi acknowledged in his plea that he was a bodyguard and driver for senior al-Qaida leaders, including bin Laden, and helped them escape Afghanistan in anticipation of a U.S. invasion in late 2001.
The defense presented video testimony at the sentencing from al Qosi's family in Sudan, including his father, uncle, and brother.
Al Qosi was sentenced by a panel of military officers, and the defense and prosecution asked them through the judge to consider a sentence of 12 to 15 years. Under the laws of war and the Manual for Military Commissions, al Qosi will not receive credit for the nine years he has spent in U.S. custody, officials said.
Under commission procedures, the convening authority for military commissions may reduce the sentence, but not increase it. After reviewing the commission record, the convening authority will defer al Qosi's sentence for 60 days while it is determined where al Qosi will serve the sentence, they said.
Al Qosi's conviction marks the first case prosecuted under the Obama administration and the Military Commissions Act of 2009, which the president signed in October.

Company Profile
George T. Wilkinson Inc. was founded more than 60 years ago by George T. Wilkinson himself. In 1951, Wilkinson left his job as president of a Boston heating company to establish his own business. He envisioned a company based on customer value, and set out to redefine customer service.
Geoffrey C. Wilkinson, CEO
The company started off small. As he had no initial client prospects, Wilkinson worked any job having to do with heating. His first job was for a former classmate of his. "I worked seven days a week, 16 hours a day, minimum, for the first eight years. I didn't take a vacation for 10 years," says Wilkinson.
His philosophy: "Never consider the hours, just keep moving. Burn yourself out!" As time passed, his philosophy paid off. The company was growing, fast.
Priding themselves on being a family-run company, George Wilkinson's son, Geoff eventually took over the company. The third generation of Wilkinson's became involved in the company in 2000, when Geoffrey C. Wilkinson, Jr., joined the Wilkinson team.
Today, George T. Wilkinson, Inc. is a respected name in the New England heating industry with a fully staffed office and a fleet of trucks and vans. But it has not strayed from its roots.
"I still have customers that I had when I started – some of the real estate firms in Boston," said George Wilkinson, 81, now chairman of the board and semi-retired. "We've kept our base. We develop a repeat business by doing a little bit extra. The more satisfied customers we have, the more we gain."
George T. Wilkinson, Inc. provides its customers with three generations of experience in the HVAC industry.

Put 10 strangers into a room together for a week and tell them to change the world -
that's what happened at Eglin's first Lean Rapid Improvement Event in March.
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., May 2, 2006 – Put 10 strangers into a room together for a week and tell them to change the world - that's what happened at Eglin's first Lean Rapid Improvement Event in March.
In the world of civil engineering, SABER, or Simplified Acquisition Base Engineering Requirements, will never be the same after the team improved its contracting procedures.
Similar to iterations of prior successful efforts, the Lean program intends to create a new way of thinking, cultivate a spirit of "doing it right the first time" and improve overall effectiveness and efficiency.
Gary Wollam, director
Lt. Col. Robert Menard, 96th Air Base Wing Contracting Squadron commander, championed the Eglin session and is encouraged that it doesn't take a Lean subject matter expert to implement prescribed changes and improvements.
"It's much more of a common sense approach," Menard said. "With about a day's worth of training, you can really see the potential benefits."
The Lean program was established under the umbrella of "Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century," or AFSO21, to make necessary continuous process improvements in Air Force operations and accountabilities.
"It doesn't have all of the statistical control of Total Quality Management," Menard said. "This is exciting because you can see immediate changes and improvements. The magic is in learning the basics and making it part of your process toward continual improvement."
Gary Wollam, Air Armament Center Strategic Planning director, said there are many methods for accomplishing continuous process improvements.
"The Air Force is leaning heavily toward Lean as the method of choice," Wollam said. "Its concepts are easy to understand and relatively simple to apply after only a limited amount of training. And Lean is best learned by doing Lean events such as the SABER RIE."
Menard said programs like this and related programs such as TQM are generally thought to be production based but can be geared toward non-production based work places: "If it can be applied in our setting where all we do is paperwork, it can be applied anywhere."
Maxine Reed, 96th Air Base Wing lead strategic planner, attended the SABER RIE last month and she had one word for the experience: "awesome!"
"What made it work so well was that everyone was passionate," Reed said. "This is something that really needs buy in from senior leadership, and we had that - we were empowered."

Global Business Perspectives
GBP – So much more than an intro course!
First-year students dive right in to the decision-making challenges that business managers face through our unique Global Business Perspectives (GBP) course.
There's a reason this is a required course for all business majors. Like some survey courses, it enables students to understand the many disciplines – from accounting and finance to human resource management and marketing – that play a role in business. But that's where the similarity ends. Through GBP, students get hands-on business experience. They develop teamwork and presentation skills while they tackle a real world case study.
How does the course work?
Students are divided into teams that collaborate to research and analyze a publicly traded company, and then develop recommendations to further its success. Upper class business students serve as team mentors and help students prepare for a multimedia presentation before a panel of visiting executives.
Graduates come back to tell us that their GBP experience was transformational in their understanding and appreciation of the competitive world of business.
More good news.
GBP also satisfies certain requirements in the University's Central Curriculum. It may meet the Perspectives requirement since students learn time management and research skills in addition to discovering the resources available to all Susquehanna students.
It also meets the Intensives requirement because it covers Oral Intensive and Team Intensive coursework.
Your academic adviser will guide you in the best way to meet your Central Curriculum requirements.
Highlights of Global Business Perspectives
Professor of Accounting Rick Davis discusses some of the advantages of Susquehanna's innovative Global Business Perspectives class.

Kent State Ashtabula Gets Grant to Promote Financial Literacy Among StudentsPosted Feb. 10, 2014
Kent State University at Ashtabula has been awarded a $500 grant from the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE) to promote the awareness of financial literacy among its students. The NEFE awarded the grant to Kent State Ashtabula as a way to provide incentives for students to participate in activities that highlight their financial wellbeing through the use of CashCourse.
"The CashCourse project is part of a larger campus mission of approaching student success from a holistic standpoint," says Danielle Weiser-Cline, special assistant with Kent State Ashtabula's Office of Academic Services.
Weiser-Cline collaborated with Amy Thomas, library director at Kent State Ashtabula, to create a website using LibGuides, a content management system used by thousands of libraries worldwide to share information on any topic, course or subject. Although the CashCourse LibGuide can be used by anyone that visits the site, it was originally built for students that are taking First-Year Experience (FYE) classes, students that have been placed on academic probation or semester warning. The content of the site focuses on four areas students struggle with: understanding student loans and financial aid, budgeting, buying technology and finding healthy and affordable food. The CashCourse LibGuide contains CashCourse resources, assignments that may be used by any instructor or administrator at the campus, and other helpful websites that pertain to the topic being addressed.
The Kent State Ashtabula CashCourse LibGuide is being used as part of the online Probation Programming and Semester Warning programs, which were designed by Weiser-Cline to not only include the typical study strategies and time management techniques, but also cover issues such as maintaining a home, finding appropriate child care and improving financial literacy.
"The Office of Academic Services, located in the library, offers one-on-one academic success coaching to students, with emphasis placed on balancing school and life; teaching students to use sound time management and study techniques, urging them to set realistic expectations for housework and family life and connecting them to community resources that can help them in times of need," Weiser-Cline says.
To enhance students' connections to campus resources, all academic advisors on the Ashtabula Campus teach Destination Kent State (DKS), First-Year Experience to their assigned advisees, allowing them to be better attuned to student struggles and positioning them to be a student's first point of contact for any problems, including serving as triage for students who are having financial aid issues.
"The inclusion of the CashCourse LibGuide in the First-Year Experience curriculum makes it even easier for our advisors to connect students to the financial literacy resources they need to make the best possible financial decisions during their academic career and beyond," Weiser-Cline says.
According to Stina Olafsdottir, manager at the Kent State Bursar's Office, Kent State and the Kent State Alumni Association joined forces with the National Endowment for Financial Education in the spring of 2013 to provide students, faculty and staff access to free online resources to improve the financial wellbeing of students.
"Student debt is at an all-time high, and Kent State Ashtabula is really raising students' awareness on the issue by incorporating financial literacy topics into certain aspects of the curriculum," Olafsdottir says. "Including financial literacy as part of its holistic approach to student success is exactly why NEFE offers university communities access to CashCourse and why Kent State joined forces with them. The Ashtabula Campus has raised the bar and is empowering students to take control of their financial well-being and make smarter choices.
"What the campus has created and is implementing is just fantastic," Olafsdottir adds. "Danielle and Amanda Dolan, assistant director of enrollment management and student services, have been selected to present their online probation program at Region 5 National Academic Advising Association Conference in Madison, Wis., in March. The title of their presentation is 'Extreme Makeover: Academic Edition: Using Online Resources to Support Academically At Risk Students.'"
Olafsdottir says that faculty and staff have access to a variety of resources through CashCourse.
"CashCourse allows users to select and assign lessons directly to students, keep track of their progress and their scores," she says. "One of the best features of the site is access to over a dozen different workshop kits. These workshop kits are prewritten and designed so that the user can provide students with an in-depth look at financial education topics and money management resources without having to build the content from scratch."
For more information or to access the resources offered by CashCourse, contact Olafsdottir at firstname.lastname@example.com or 330-672-0880, or visit www.cashcourse.org.

Candidates file petitions for council, mayorWritten by Bailey G. Dick | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Three people hoping to be Toledo's next mayor have made their campaigns official by filing petitions with the Lucas County Board of Elections.
As of July 10, Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez, City Councilman D. Michael Collins and write-in candidate Don Gozdowski have submitted petitions with at least 750 signatures to the Lucas County Board of Elections.
Incumbent Mayor Mike Bell planned to hand in his petition July 11 and City Councilman Joe McNamara planned to file his July 12, before the 4 p.m. deadline. Also expected to enter the race are Alan Cox, a neighborhood development specialist, and Libertarian candidate Michael Konwinski.
Petitions for candidates seeking City Council seats are also due July 12. As of July 10, seven Toledoans have submitted their petitions to the Board of Elections. Incumbents Shaun Enright and Steven Steel filed their petitions July 9.
Also submitting 250 signatures or more were Ernest McCarthy, Alfonso Navarez, Theresa Gabriel, Sean Nestor, Sandy Spang and Ron Johns.
Johns, a Republican and 21-year-old University of Toledo student, said the process of filing for candidacy proved to be a challenge.
"For a first timer, it was a little difficult. The information overload is the difficult part," Johns said. "Once you understand everything, it's less challenging. The time requirement is huge, but the paperwork wasn't too hard."
The next step for Johns and anyone else seeking office in Lucas County is certification from the Board of Elections. Elections for City Council and Toledo mayor will take place Nov. 5.

Toledo Public Schools (TPS) will once again offer free uniforms to students who qualify.
Families with children enrolled in kindergarten through eighth grade at TPS with a family income at 200 percent of the poverty level are eligible to receive vouchers for free uniforms. Each voucher is good for two tops, two bottoms and a belt, said Crystal Ellis, TPS chief of staff.
Ellis said the program was approved five years ago to give "parents some assistance for school clothing, those that need it the most."
Ellis believes the uniforms help create a positive school environment.
"It gives [children] a guide on how to dress," Ellis said. "It takes out the competition for dress or stylish dress. It gives a camaraderie of dress … It's a common bond of being in a school and being a part of that school; you and your schoolmates have something in common other than going to that school."
Parents and guardians can apply for uniform vouchers from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the former Leverette Junior High School, 1111 E. Manhattan Blvd., in portable unit No. 1 in the back parking lot. The office will be open until the end of the October, and then uniform applications will be accepted at the board of education.
Those who have already applied for uniform assistance do not need to reapply. Call (419) 729-8801 for more information.

Friday is the American Heart Society�s, �Go Red for Women� day. It is to raise awareness for the number one killer in women--heart disease. Nearly 40 women a minute die from this disease around the country.
It accounts for a half a million deaths every year. It is so important to raise attention to this issue because heart disease really is a silent killer in women.
Dr. Chad Teeters, a Cardiologist at Highland Hospital explains why, "The characteristic signs that everyone thinks of are the crushing internal pain radiating to the back and the neck and the arm. In women, it's actually very uncommon for them to present those types of symptoms. Most women will complain about fatigue or flu like illness kind of symptoms that come on somewhat suddenly."
The Go Red for Women campaign was created in 2004 and has raised more than $200 million for women�s heart health.
Highland Hospital offers free blood pressure screenings on Valentine�s day and free heart screenings for student athletes on February 12th. Click here for more information.

Full detailed profile on Kate Howard (Past) Played by Megan Ward on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Megan Ward (Nikki Nelson/WENN.com)
Birthday: September 24 1969
Kate and Carly are in a verbal cat fight when Sonny comes home and finds himself enjoying it. Sonny eggs them on and Kate spits back at him. Then Carly realizes that Kate and Sonny are flirting. "How well do you know each other?" she asks. Sonny says that they just met and have been arguing over her helicopters that fly over his house. Kate tells Carly that she doesn't live there so it's none of her business. Carly informs Kate that her children spend time there so that makes it her business. Before they can get any further, Carly gets a call from Jax to meet him at the Metro Court, so she leaves right way. After she's gone, Sonny continues to taunt "Connie" but she insists that Kate is her own woman and she didn't marry into a dime, unlike Carly. Kate starts to make fun of Carly's ostentatious diamond and Sonny informs her that Jasper Jacks bought it for her. Kate recognizes the name and can't believe that Carly is married to him. Sonny continues being his charming self and asks her if she has carried a torch for him all these years. Kate says that she refuses to romanticize the past. She says that she couldn't wait to get away from the place where boys referred to going to jail as "going on vacation." The more she talks about Benson Hurst, the more upset she gets. She tells Sonny that she's glad he has done well for himself and then leaves.
Leticia called Carly over to Sonny's because the boys had a little trouble. It seems that their toy helicopter flew over the marble wall into the new neighbor's yard. They crawled over the wall and ended up walking all over the wet cement. Before Carly can absorb what's happened, Kate enters and tells Carly to keep her delinquent kids off of her property. Carly tells Kate that she's in her town now and that she is Sonny Corinthos' ex wife. Kate spits back that Carly is nothing but a classless wannabe. Carly spews, "Which makes me perfectly suited to kick your butt back to Manhattan." Kate comes back by saying that Carly came from nothing, married a wealthy man and still hasn't figured out that money can't by style. As they keep fighting, Sonny comes home and says, "Don't let me interrupt."
Sonny's very important neighbor, Kate Howard, is walking through the palatial foyer of her new home and ordering her assistant to have the entire house redesigned from the ground up. Starting -- with the giant gray marble wall that lines the grounds of the home next door. The assistant points out that the homeowner might not be too happy about it and Kate says that he has never dealt with her before!
Another helicopter drops off some magazine layouts to Kate's house as Diane and Sonny come into her house and tell her to stop with the helicopters already. Kate and Sonny are both surprised to learn that they are neighbors and Kate says, "I suppose this explains the penitentiary next door." He tells Diane to leave them alone so they can talk.
Sonny has finished his phone call and Kate asks if he just ordered a hit or something. He says that he landed a coffee shipment, that's all. Diane comes into the room and gushes over Kate's March (Couture Magazine) issue, and then announces that the injunction has been put into place and helicopters are banned from within a mile radius of Sonny's house. Kate informs her that she and Mr. Corinthos were just about to arrange a compromise. Sonny assures Diane, in private, that he just likes to watch Miss Howard beg and that he won't give in. Soon, a lovely lunch complete with wine is served on the terrace and Sonny asks Kate if she can arrange for the helicopter to come on the South side of the grounds instead of her roof. Kate says it's workable, but he has to tear down the prison wall in exchange for a pretty white fence.
Sonny and Kate are walking in the park and discussing what it's going to take to get her flash drive back. He tells her that he wants her to show him her hopscotch moves. It turns out that Connie used to think she was the best at everything, especially hopscotch. She tries to get out of it, but he flashes his dimples and insists. She takes his keys, throws them on the sidewalk and demonstrates her best hopping in spite of her heels. They talk as they walk and end up back at his coffee shop. She whips him up a cappuccino and he tells her that if the couture gig ever falls through, she can work for him. She says that she knows he's much more than a coffee importer. She dazzles him with all the info she has dug up on him and his organization. She does have one question for him though, "Is it my fault that you're in this life?" Sonny doesn't have the answer to that. He says they could've had a big fight after they ran away with each other, or they could be married with five kids by now. But one thing he knows is that he has three beautiful children that he wouldn't trade for the world. She says that they both got what they wanted then, once she has her flash drive, that is. He gives it to her and she says, "Bye Dimples."
Kate Howard has barged into Sonny's office and interrupted a make-out session between Sonny and Amelia. She and Amelia recognize each other and Amelia says that neither of them wants to be caught in a mobster's office. She buttons up her blouse and leaves. Kate tells Sonny that she left her flash drive and he probably stole it so that she would come back. He threatens to keep her property if she's not nice to him. He dangles the flash drive in front of her and says that he'll give it back, under one condition - that she go for a walk with him. She gives in and he gives her a little walking tour of Port Charles. He admits that he came to town to run a strip joint. She scoffs at that and he points out that runway models and strippers aren't all that different. Then, he asks if she recognized him when she pushed into his office the other night. She says that his dimples gave him away, but she was determined not to let on that they knew each other. He tells her that she left the flash drive because she was flustered. They reminisce about old times and she holds firm to her belief that her new life is better than her old one.
After Amelia and Sam arrive in Port Charles, Amelia tags along with Sam to Sonny's office to look for Jason. Sonny says that Jason's doing some business, but then fills her in on what's going on with Elizabeth at the hospital. Sam leaves for the hospital and Amelia stays behind. She unbuttons her blouse and tells him that she wants to celebrate her hit show. He immediately kisses her and starts pealing off his clothes. He has her bent over flat on his desk when Kate Howard barges in and asks if she's interrupting.
Sonny grabs the phone from Kate's hand and tells the French designer on the other end that she'll call him back. Then, he tells "Connie" which street she lived on in Benson Hurst and she quickly denies it. He makes her swear on the Virgin Mary that she isn't Connie Falconeri. Kate tries to deny it one more time, and then admits that she changed her name when she was 18. Sonny is starting to remember everything about her, how she studied French and how they had a couple nights that "almost got hot". Connie/Kate tells him that she remembers how cocky he always was. She tells Sonny that his memory "…is becoming a big unnerving." He asks her why she is so ashamed to use her own name?
Sonny and Connie/Kate continue their conversation. She says that before she started Princeton, she changed her name to Kate Howard so that she could fit in better. She chose it from Katherine Howard - who was the 5th wife of Henry VIII. She wanted to create an image of social standing so that she could fit into the fashion industry better than an Italian girl from Benson Hurst. She tells him that Connie Falconeri no longer exists. Sonny says, "Connie Falconeri was supposed to run away with me but she never showed up. Why?" He goes on to tell her that he waited all night for her all those years ago. He says that he watched her house all night long, and she left in the morning. She admits that she went out for ice for her eyes because they were puffy from crying all night. She says that her parents didn't catch her; she caught herself…from running away from her dreams. She tells him that she was afraid he'd talk her out of it, so she just didn't try to explain. He says that she was in high school; he decided to leave her alone and get on with his life. He says that he got his first job with Joe Skully. That was the best way he could think of for his quest for power and money and a life out of Benson Hurst. She tells him that he appears to have done well for himself. He teases her for her "uptown" manner of speaking and she says that it comes naturally to her now. Just then, Kate's assistant comes in with news that their car is repaired, so the women leave. On her way out, Kate bumps into Carly, who flips out a few seconds later when she realizes that Kate Howard was in Port Charles.

Your Travel Currency Options22 February 2012 - Currency Exchange UK
Your Travel Currency Options
With so many travel currency options available, it can be difficult deciding on the right solution for your travel needs. You may require the security of travellers cheques, prefer the flexibility of Travel FX cards or even opt for the convenience of cash money. Before you decide, it is a good idea to consider the advantages and disadvantages of different travel currency options.
An obvious option is cash you can exchange your pounds before you leave the country and youll have change to pay for taxis, food and drinks as soon as you arrive. If you take enough with you, you can avoid withdrawing money from overseas ATM machines which will save you expensive bank fees. The main drawback of cash is that it can be awkward to carry and can pose a security risk.
An alternative is using your debit or credit card. Because most cards are accredited by a major network, you will be able to use them in a variety of countries in stores, restaurants and at ATM machines. They are also protected and less likely to be stolen than cash. However, youll need to ensure that you inform your bank about your overseas card usage as they could suspend your card as a security measure.
Prepaid travel cards or Travel FX cards are a lesser known form of travel currency but combine the functionality of credit cards with the security of travelers cheques. The card is pre-loaded with funds from your bank account and you can then use it in the same way as a regular debit or credit card.
For more information about different forms of travel money look online or via the Currency Exchange UK website.

Lucky for us, the first egg -- which had a pip yesterday -- hatched just a little after 2:00 today! A cute little fuzz-ball with a huge head and feet now resides in the nest, next to two as-yet unhatched eggs, one of which appears to have a pip as well. He watched the nest on and off all afternoon...it's awesome to see him so excited over learning again!
We are finishing our unit study on Florida this week, so I have started researching our next unit study. I am considering a unit on environmental issues and responsibilities as part of Earth Day in April. I located a great unit lesson that allows the kids to follow the "life" of a soccer ball or a cell phone. We can incorporate planting a butterfly garden and volunteering for Earth Day as part of the lesson, along with the History Channel's series "How the Earth Was Made" which has 13 videos in the first season alone that describes the formation of the earth, along with how various mountains, seas and continents were formed.
Today was our art lesson "Create a Collage Like Dali." I don't know who had more fun trying to create the surrealist vision, me or Matthew!

Berkeley, California
March 8, 2008
We, leaders of academic survey research organizations, today join together to form a new association of organizations, the Academic Survey Research Association [ASRA].*
We represent survey organizations from both private and public universities, in every region of the United States. The organizations that we represent, and other academic survey organizations in the U.S. and elsewhere, share a common mission. We provide professional, scientific survey expertise and infrastructure to researchers inside and outside of academe. We advance the research, educational, and service goals of our respective universities. As academic centers, our organizations share common features:
By virtue of our unique academic mission, we serve a vital function in the larger survey industry, the advancement of the social and behavioral sciences, and the betterment of society. Academic survey research centers are vital players in the advancement of survey methods, the publication and dissemination of important survey results, and the enhancement of our field's reputation in the eyes of decision makers, the media, and the public we serve.
Our Vision We join together to form ASRA today because we have a common vision for the future of academic survey research:
ASRA will be recognized as a leading voice in support and promotion of excellence in survey research conducted in academic settings.
Our Mission. To achieve its vision, ASRA will facilitate mutual support among member organizations in the following ways:
As we take this historic step toward formalization, we wish thank our initial leaders, John Kennedy and Ronald Langley, who have brought us together informally for many years at the AAPOR meetings, under the name 'ASRO Directors,' to discuss our common interests and problems. We thank Bob Groves and the University of Michigan Survey Research Center for hosting our first national conference at Ann Arbor in February 2007, Bob Lee and the Survey Research Center at University of California—Berkeley for hosting our present gathering, and Jim Wolf for leading our discussions at both these conferences.
The structure of ASRA will be voluntary, democratic, and inclusive. ASRA is committed to working in cooperation with AAPOR (to which nearly all of us belong as individual members) to advance our common interests.
To this end we form an Interim Steering Committee, whose members we will elect today by acclamation, and we charge them with prompt establishment of a formal governing structure for ASRA. The ASRA Interim Steering Committee is charged with:
Once the by-laws are passed by the membership and officers are elected, the Interim Steering Committee will be dissolved.
Our Pledge. Understanding that our respective survey organizations will be called upon to pay dues to ASRA, that final criteria for membership have yet to be determined, and that we will need to commit our time and effort to achieving ASRA's goals, we pledge today our individual support for ASRA's vision and mission and we hereby approve or recommend ASRA membership for our respective organizations.
(*Later changed to AASRO, Association of Academic Survey Research Organizations)
1. Name. The name of the organization shall be Association of Academic Survey Research Organizations. The short form of the name shall be AASRO.
2. Purpose. The purpose of AASRO is to facilitate mutual support among member organizations in the following ways:
1. Membership Qualifications. AASRO is an association of academic survey research organizations, not individuals. Member organizations will meet the following criteria:
Organizations that do not meet the above criteria may request membership by submitting a petition in writing to the Executive Committee's Membership Coordinator detailing what criteria they may not meet and why this should not preclude membership. The Executive Committee can allow membership by majority vote of all members of the Committee.
2. Voting. Each member organization will have one (1) vote in AASRO officer elections and all matters to be voted on by the full membership. Each member organization's voting delegate must be employed by that member organization. Unless otherwise specified by the member organization, the voting delegate will be the director.
3. Duration of Membership. The membership period is for one (1) calendar year, from January 1st through December 31st. The membership of any member organization may be terminated by the Executive Committee for not paying dues.
4. List of Members. It shall be the duty of the Secretary/Membership Coordinator to maintain a list of current AASRO member organizations. The current list will be available on request by any member. A directory of members will be kept on the AASRO website and will be updated no less often than annually.
1. An Annual Meeting of the directors of AASRO member organizations for the transaction of business shall be held each year. Other, special meetings may be held as determined by the President or the Executive Committee. Time and place of all meetings will be set by the Executive Committee, and notification will be sent to all member organizations at least 30 days in advance.
2. Meetings of the Executive Committee are scheduled by the President as needed.
1. The affairs of AASRO shall be managed by the Executive Committee, to consist of the following officers, each of whom must be the designated voting delegate of a member organization:
2. Election of Officers
3. Term of office. Newly elected members of the Executive Committee will take office when the Committee meets on the last day of the Annual Meeting. The outgoing Executive Committee will meet with the newly elected members attending as guests, report on the year's activities and consider any old business. They will then turn over their offices to the new Committee members. The new Committee will continue the meeting by receiving their charge from the new President and considering any new business.
4. Vacancies. Vacancies on the Executive Committee shall be filled in the following way: If the Presidency is vacant, the Vice President/President-Elect assumes the President's position. In that event, or if the position of VP/President-elect is vacated for any other reason, the Vice Presidency shall remain vacant until the next regular election of officers, unless the Executive Committee chooses to hold a special vote of the entire membership to fill it. Vacancies in the remaining positions (Secretary/Membership Coordinator, Treasurer, Communication Coordinator, Program Chair, and Past President) are filled through appointment by the remaining Executive Committee members. When a vacancy in an elective office is filled by such appointment, the appointee shall serve in that office from the time of appointment to the Annual Meeting immediately following the next regular election of officers.
5. Resignation. Any Executive Committee member of AASRO may resign as an officer at any time by giving written notice to the President. If the President is the member resigning, the written notice shall be given to the VP/President-elect. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified in the notice. If a member of the Executive Committee ceases to be the voting delegate of a member organization, that person is ineligible to hold office and must resign; in that event, the vacancy is effective immediately.
6. Quorum and Manner of Acting. Three (3) members of the Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting, and the act of a majority of the Executive Committee members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Executive Committee. Once it has been determined that a quorum is present, the Executive Committee may transact business at any meeting for which prior notice has been given.
7. Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Executive Committee, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting. Written consent may be provided electronically (i.e., via email or other electronic means) following rules for electronic discussion and voting to be established by the President with approval of a majority of the Committee.
1. The Standing Committees include:
2. Chairs of Standing Committees who are not members of the Executive Committee may participate in Executive Committee meetings as non-voting members.
3. The Executive Committee may appoint other ad hoc committees as needed for special projects.
1. Dues. The Executive Committee shall establish a schedule of dues annually. Dues shall be collected by the Treasurer for conducting AASRO business and for providing programs and events that benefit AASRO members. Requests for dues payment shall be made annually and payments should be received by the Treasurer no later than March 1st. The Executive Committee must authorize the levy of any fees that may be necessary to cover the costs of specific AASRO activities.
2. Fiscal Year. The AASRO fiscal year will begin on January 1st and end on December 31st.
3. Any expenditure of more than $500 that is not in the approved annual budget will require approval from the Executive Committee.
4. Upon the dissolution of this organization, assets shall be distributed for one or more exempt purposes within the meaning of section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code, or shall be distributed to the federal government, or to a state or local government, for a public purpose.
These Bylaws may be amended by majority vote of all member organizations that cast a vote. Any voting delegate may propose an amendment to the Executive Committee. Those amendments approved by the Executive Committee will be sent to the members along with instructions on how to vote for or against acceptance.

Why Restaurants Are the New Cultural Currency
There once was a time (like six years ago) when your working knowledge of, say, Junot Diaz or Radiohead was all you needed to show some conversational with-it-ness. Now, though? Restaurants—the currency of the young and cash-strapped—are the key to the cultural kingdom. Check, please!
By: Daniel Riley, Illustration By: ZOHAR LAZAR
I have eaten at forty-two of food critic Adam Platt's 101 best restaurants in New York. (Two years ago, he published a list; I made an Excel spreadsheet to keep score.) I have tried six of Jonathan Gold's 101 in L.A. Tasted fıve dishes from 7×7 magazine's "Big Eat" musts in San Francisco. Dined out at four of the San Pellegrino 50.* Also, fıve of Bon Appétit's Best New Restaurants in America; I have eaten at all of the Best New Restaurants in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This attentiveness to these lists—the fact that I keep a list of lists—is proof of something. That I know about food? Nope. That I'm a little bit compulsive? Probably. That I have bought into a system in which part of my value—the part that says whether I'm worth my salt in small talk—can be measured by the restaurants where I've stuffed my face?
Very much so. Over the past fıve years, I've subconsciously subscribed to that proposition. Recently, though, I've started thinking that chasing restaurants is the least interesting way to be interesting.
If you've lived in an American city anytime recently, you know that one makes a pretty bold statement when he neglects to keep up with restaurants. Not having an opinion about where you eat is what it once was to not have authors you quoted, albums you defended, or directors you followed to the depths of Kundun. Something, at the very least, to argue over. Restaurants—which, it should be said, are different from food or cooking—became the topic with which people my age could prove some with-it-ness.
SEE MORE: 25 Best Restaurants in America for 2014
Around the time I moved to New York, in 2008, the restaurant thing, to a 22-year-old with typical 22-year-old eating habits, seemed unscalable. I was safe, I assumed, to ignore the scene and its accompanying chatter. But something happened that forced my hand. The buzzy spots cropping up were not, in fact, the luxe four-dollar-sign dining clubs I imagined them to be but envelope-pushers focused on the twin goals of simple and cheap. The Mozza joints. The Momofuku empire.
It had become vital to be accessible. Layer on the recession and you had a dining environment that seemed specifıcally targeted at the young and cash-strapped. While we had to give up some of the "fancy" stuff we couldn't really drain our bank accounts for anymore (concerts, plane tickets, trendy clothes), there was this other culture thing—eating—that we had to do a few times a day, anyway. And these restaurants—with their tatted-up chefs barking orders over a Zeppelin Pandora station—acted as proxies for the culturally cool things we couldn't afford.
Compound the equation with the growth and youth-i-fızing of shows like Top Chef, blogs like Eater, and magazines like Bon Appétit, and suddenly we even had a language with which to articulate our immediate, hollowly informed reactions to each bite of every small plate (e.g., "Hmm, needs more…salt"—the line of lines, as acquired from Padma Lakshmi, queen of fake-it-till-you-make-it food pretenders and model to many). This was, it turned out, happening in lots of places. Cities like San Francisco and Chicago, where friends had taken new jobs. College towns like Ann Arbor and Durham, where they'd moved for grad school. Two or three years would pass between visits, and guess what those friends happened to know more about than politics or movies or sports? Eating. No matter the distance or diverging career interests, we all knew the name Husk. We planned trips around GoogaMooga instead of Bonnaroo.

Benghazi whistle-blower falls short of GOP hopes
WASHINGTON -- They summoned a whistle-blower to Capitol Hill, but instead they got a virtuoso storyteller.
Gregory Hicks, the No. 2 U.S. diplomat in Libya the night Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed, was to be the star witness for Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the man leading the probe of the Obama administration's handling of the attack on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi.
But despite Issa's incautious promise that the hearing's revelations would be "damaging" to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Hicks didn't lay a glove on the former secretary of state Wednesday. Rather, he held lawmakers rapt as he recounted the events of that terrifying night -- revealing a made-for-Hollywood plot with a slow, theatrical delivery and genuine emotion.
He spoke of watching TV at his residence in Tripoli when a security officer "ran into my villa yelling, 'Greg! Greg! The consulate's under attack.'" He described his brief final phone conversation with Stevens, 600 miles away: "He said, 'Greg, we're under attack. ... And I said, 'OK,' and the line cut."
He detailed the frantic effort to call in fighter jets from a U.S. base in Italy ("It would take two to three hours for them to get on-site" and there "were no tankers available for them to refuel"). He recounted the "saddest phone call I have ever had in my life" -- learning from the Libyan prime minister that Stevens had been killed.
His yarn before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee mentioned embassy office manager Amber Pickens carrying ammunition to the getaway vehicles and smashing hard drives with an ax, as well as the rescue-by-ladder of a severely wounded David Ubben from the mortar attack that killed two others.
Hicks went on for 39 minutes.
Hicks had his grievances, but his gripes were about bureaucratic squabbles rather than political scandal. And this whistleblower spent a good bit of time tooting his own horn. "I earned a reputation for being an innovative policymaker who got the job done. I was promoted quickly and received numerous awards," Hicks informed the lawmakers. " ... Incoming charge Larry Pope told me personally that my performance was near-heroic."
Issa and his Republican colleagues encouraged this cult of personality in their own statements, evidently anticipating an effort by Democrats to discredit Hicks. But it turned out there was no need.
Hicks said his "jaw dropped" when he heard U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice falsely claim on TV that there had been a protest at the Benghazi consulate, but he declined an invitation to challenge the veracity of the director of national intelligence, who said the statement reflected "our collective best judgment at the time."
Hicks said he thought a flyover by U.S. jets could have deterred the second of the two attacks that night, but he declined to question the judgment of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who has said there was no way to get the fighters there in time.
Hicks was of little use to Republicans in their efforts to connect the lapses in the Benghazi response to Clinton or to the Obama White House. He said that he spoke to Clinton by phone at 2 a.m. that night and that she supported his actions. He undermined one of Issa's claims -- that Clinton had rejected an increase in security for the Libya facilities -- when he agreed that the secretary of state's name appears on all cables, even if she doesn't write them.
Hicks did have some damning things to say about the State Department trying to block him from cooperating with Issa's committee. But that wasn't quite the evidence Issa had promised.
Instead of hearing a tale of political shenanigans, those in the audience heard a far better story of confusion and desperation on the ground -- such as Hicks' attempt the morning after the fighting to send a four-member Special Forces team from Tripoli to Benghazi for reinforcement. When military higher-ups rejected the request, the team leader, a lieutenant colonel, was "furious," Hicks recounted. "He said, 'This is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military.'"
That's not much use to Issa, but it will be a great line in the movie.

The first of the new Camaros are out and the verdict is plenty positive. The impressive Camaro RS with the hot little V-6 churns out 305-HP, the most of any performance counterpart from Chrysler or Ford. What it means in recent testing is that this little, lightweight engine bangs through the gears to a 0 to 60 MPH timing of 6.1 seconds. That is way faster than any other muscle car style V-6 we've experienced. (more…)

Ratings Report: TUF 16 Episode 7 Gets Decreased Audience | UFC NEWS
The UFC's 16th season of their popular reality series, "The Ultimate Fighter", has seen better days.
With Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin in the coaching slots, this year's FX program has posted two all-time-low ratings with episode 5 being the lowest watched episode in franchise history.
Last Friday's episode 7 showed a slight decrease in ratings with 676,000 total viewers, that is down from the 811,000 episode 6 drew.
Still hope for a successful season? Probably not but at least the UFC and FX teams can rest easy that their show hasn't reached a new all-time low last week.

Drew Lavender was one point shy of his career high and finished with a team-high 16 points.
Jan. 13, 2007
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Xavier could not overcome a 25.9 percent shooting effort in the first half and fell to host Saint Louis, 76-65, on Saturday evening at the Scottrade Center. Drew Lavender was one point shy of a career high and finished with 16 points. The loss drops the Musketeers to 12-5 on the season and 2-1 in Atlantic 10 action, while the Billikens improve to 12-5 overall and 2-2 in conference play.
Xavier came out cold from behind the arc after a blistering effort just two days prior at Fordham. XU shot over 71 percent from deep against the Rams but would start out 0-for-11 against the Billikens. SLU would be the team with the hot hand as the Billikens started 5-for-7 from long range and it carried over to a 12-point halftime advantage.
Saint Louis would continue to have the hot hand in the second half as the Billikens notched a 66.7 percentage (12-of-18) from the field in the second half including 57.1 percent (4-of-7) from behind the arc. SLU's Luke Meyer would be the deciding factor as he ended with 12 points, all in the second half.
Saint Louis would open the game on a 10-0 run before a Derrick Brown free throw gave XU its first point of the contest at the 14:21 mark of the first half.
The Musketeers would not record a field goal until Justin Cage put in a layup with 11:19 remaining in the period to make the score 15-4 in favor of the home team. Xavier would bucket five of the next eight points to cut the lead to single digits at 18-9 but back to back treys by SLU's Dwayne Polk and Kevin Lisch would give the Billikens their largest lead of the half at 16 points, 27-11.
XU responded and cut the lead to 12 at half after two baskets by Brandon Cole including a dunk that cut the deficit to 10 at 27-17. A basket by the Billikens' Adam Knollmeyer would be the final bucket of the half with 1:49 remaining before the break.
On the half, XU started 0-of-12 from the floor, including 0-of-10 from deep, while Saint Louis was 8-of-11 and 1-of-2 from three-point land. Xavier shot 25.9 percent (7-of-27) in the half, which was the lowest total of the season since the Musketeers shot 28.6 percent (8-of-28) from the field at Creighton. Cage and Cole were the leading scorers for the Blue and White at the break as each had four points.
The second half proved to be much the same as Saint Louis would keep the double digit lead throughout. Xavier would trim the lead to single digits with under two minutes to play but it would be too late.
Drew Lavender would be the catalyst in the final stanza as the junior posted all 16 of his points in the second half. Lavender would single-handedly cut the deficit to nine after recording eight points in a span of 1:08, which included two threes, to put the score at 49-40 with 10:02 remaining.
Stanley Burrell would finally record his first points of the contest with 7:09 remaining in the game after a fade-away three fell through the net. Burrell would finish with only those three points and has not found St. Louis to be his city to play in as he had no points last season at the Scottrade Center.
After wrapping up the current road trip this evening, the Musketeers will return home for a showdown with A-10 frontrunner UMass on Thursday evening at Cintas Center. Tip time is set for 7:00 pm and the game will also be aired on ESPN.

If they took her somewhere against her will then it sounds like kidnapping, which I believe is a federal crime. I wonder if the feds will be involved. I hope so.
I am no Catholic basher, but it's hard not to reflect how quick some are to call the police when someone steals from the collection plate vs when a child has been brutalized.
I passed the accident site as well and my prayers have been with the family all day. While I didn't see it happen, it didn't look like the driver could have survived, seat belt or not. My condolences to her family and friends.
I used to ride that stretch quite a lot and have seen punks of all colors just hanging out smoking pot and sometimes just looking for delinquent entertainment. They need to beef up patrols from Harahan to the parish line or something more tragic is going to end up happening out there.
Yeah, and taxes are about taking responsibility for the freedom enjoyed in this country...at least until it's asked of the wealthiest and the corporations...
Seems it might have been more cost effective to just fund the pension shortfall, but I guess that wouldn't have been as much fun...Cleaning out city hall is like clearing the home of a hoarder...always another pile of cr@p under the one you just tossed...
Regardless of how you feel about abortion, there are plenty of states with more time, money and resources lining up to fight this fight. Why on earth would the state risk losing medicaid funds and the astonomical legal fees to fight this battle???
Is it just to pad this little dude's political resume???
How about the details are billed at standard published rates by the city and the police department staff these jobs at the officers' regular pay rate, adjusted as necessary if there is overtime etc involved??? All time worked is managed on "one time-card". Details within a district are staffed by district officers unless the size of the event required additional staffing from other districts. How do the jobs get assigned within a district? Perhaps by some merit system...active complaint against an officer? off the rotation...disciplinary action for whatever? Off the rotation...
When 'side work' becomes more important to an employee than his main job, there is always going to be an issue. Add to that lack of controls, a culture accustomed to getting over on the system, and you will have real trouble.
I've heard some say that there wouldn't be enough officers to do it this way. Well, nothing here would change other than the flow of the money and the administration of time. No cash payments, all requests for details go through a central city office.
He and Newt both think they can *** on your shoes and convince you it's raining. I'm so tired of liars.
As for not being caught up in the details, if he still doesn't know who the 20 officers are who were involved with the ticket detail, with all the uproar, all the media attention...like I said, I'm so tired of liars. You hearing me Mitch?
I'm surprised it sold that many copies...wonder who bought them.
What a crock...this is another 'situation' I'd like to have Mitch explain before raising my property taxes again.
No, the public sector is not out of control, the politicians are out of control. They will give away the taxpayers money to anyone (corporate CEO or public school superintendent) if they can shake their hand and know that the person will owe them. Teachers, consumers and the run of the mill working person doesn't get the time of day because we can't do anything for them, and I mean 'them' personally.
My guess is that he didn't produce it earlier because he did not want to 'feed the trolls'. The original certificate was the legal one; the one accepted for all legal purposes. I for one am almost sorry he capituated and dug this one out of storage. After all, we are supposed to be a nation of laws, and legally, he had proven his status as a 'natural born' citizen.
I'd like to know why he's only charged with second degree battery. If you go after someone with a deadly weapon, which a car is when it's driven into some, you should be charged accordingly, right? What am I missing here?
Also, if his parents paid for his car and are carrying him on their insurance, are they liable for the damage he causes to property and lives?
Well, at least he acknowledges that he's acting as a puppet. Interesting that he assures people that the wording which will make the woman who undergoes the procdedure guilty of infantacide will be deleted. If he is so 'pro-life', how is that justified.
The truth is that this is one of those issues that each person has to decide based upon their own moral and religious beliefs. Unless we want to establish a theocricy, as in many Muslim states, we should not be legislating based on religious beliefs.

What do you want to bet the guy has the minimum coverage for his auto liability insurance? IF they are allowed to retain any driving privileges, repeat DUI offenders (and others in their household) should be required to carry the max on their auto insurance.
"If Jesus can do it, so can I"...did he really say that?? Seems a bit arrogant.
Expecting other people to absorb the losses generated by your own bad decisions seems to indicate an attitude of entitlement, regardless of whether we are talking about an individual or a corporation.
BP took a risk and failed, and the citizens of the gulf coast are supposed to just accept the losses caused by the damage to the gulf. BP takes a risk and succeeds, and BP execs pay themselves bonuses. How is this justified? I don't know. How does it happen? BP has money to 'lobby' lawmakers.
The Wisconsin governor is trying to break the public employee union because they exert to much influence through collective bargaining. How do they do that? Part of their power comes from the organization of workers with a common interest. The other, probably more important part of their power comes from their money and ability to 'lobby' lawmakers.
Only when we finally solve the campaign financing issues and come to grips with the power of money in our democracy will we be able to expect more reasonable outcomes of these conflicts. The problem in not that collective bargaining is bad or that corporations are bad, but when either can 'lobby' (or buy) a lawmaker's vote, there will be problems and inequities.
My heart goes out to the family of the little boy and to the bus driver. What a tragedy. They will all be in my prayers.

That was fast! Only a few hours after Planetbeing tweeted iOS 6.1.2 was Jailbreak safe, the Evad3rs have updated Evasi0n to version 1.4 to support Jailbreaking the iOS 6.1.2 firmware Untethered on all iOS devices.
For those of you who don't know what iOS 6.1.2 patches, it fixes a bug relating to Microsoft Exchange. It is always nice to be running the latest firmware version and as such we would recommend updating to iOS 6.1.2 while you still can. As once Apple releases a firmware version above iOS 6.1.2 you won't be able to update to it; and that firmware version will very likely patch Evasi0ns Untethered iOS 6.x exploit.
Updating to iOS 6.1.2 can't be done over-the-air as Evasi0n blocks this functionality on Jailbroken devices, but it can be done through iTunes. You don't necessarily have to restore your device to iOS 6.1.2 (even though that is recommended), you can just click the update button.
Jailbreaking with Evasi0n is the exact same process as it has always been. We will have an updated how to guide out soon though, but you can follow our old guide and make out just fine as long as you use Evasi0n 1.4+. You can download Evasi0n 1.4 from the iJailbreak Downloads Section or from one of the direct links shown below:
Download Evasi0n 1.4 for Mac OS X
Download Evasi0n 1.4 for Windows
Download Evasi0n 1.4 for Linux
Update #1: Learn how to Jailbreak iOS 6.1.2 Untethered by following our tutorial here.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Niagara Falls, N.Y., man pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara to conspiracy to possess, with the intent to distribute, 100 kilograms of marijuana. The man faces up to 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine.
Wally Reynolds, 36, supervised other individuals in a drug conspiracy who imported marijuana from Canada into the United States. The defendant then distributed the marijuana to his customers in the United States.
The plea is the result of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Sentencing is scheduled for May 6 before Judge Arcara.

Authorities in Illinois have collected DNA from more than 100 people living in Chicago who were convicted of serious sex crimes in other states.
The effort this week was led by Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office and was in line with an Illinois law that requires all sex offenders to submit specimens to the state's DNA database even if they were convicted outside Illinois.

It's the most interesting 2d platformer i ever play. I can overplay it again and again!!
The oppening theme is still playing in my mp3...
Cave story Doukutsu (what ever name is), is going to be a great game, spite the fact that i beat running hell and wind fortress and everything on the 3ds version (which only cost like $10). it's freeware for the original but full version. yeah, Running Hell blood stained sanctuary and it's bosses are too awesome to replace anyway! the wii version had a choice for old or new graphics and music. the 3ds was really in-depth with placement of objects. Doukustu had original everything including text. this is an awesome game!
Just in case anyone once to see what Cave Story is like, I have recently started doing a let's play of it on YouTube. I'm trying not to shamelessly promote myself, so take a look at it if you are interested. Anyway, it is a great game guys. There's something pretty special about it. The five years spent creating it really show.

$10.01 is a little steep. That penny is the deciding point for me
why even pay the $10? its available for free on the official creator's site.
I think everyone who wanted this game for cheap already had possibility to get it on HumbleBundle...twice!
This game is not cheap, but it worth it.
why even pay the $10? its available for free on the official creator's site.
I hate how even though I own this game on steam I have to buy it again through desura just to play it on linux.
Highest Rated (4 agree) 10/10
This game is nothing short of amazing. It has everything a platformer should have, and then some.
This is one of those games that everyone should play at least once. Truly a masterpiece.

Energy Department employee Tyesha Bennett and her family gleaned 4,400 pounds of sweet potatoes as part of Feds Feed Families | Photos courtesy of Tyesha Bennett, Energy Department.
At the Department of Energy, we talk a lot about fuel. Whether it's collecting solar power, finding cleaner ways of burning fossil fuels or using nuclear power sources, fueling America is one of our major focuses.
But as we focus on keeping the lights on and the computers running, there is another, more basic type of fuel that Americans need: food.
One in six Americans struggles with hunger on a daily basis. Nearly 160 million people in our country don't know where their next meal will come from, or whether they will eat at all. And hunger happens every day, to people of all ages, races and creeds.
That's why the Energy Department is partnering with USDA for the fifth annual Feds Feed Families campaign. Since the campaign began in 2009, federal workers have donated and collected more than 24 million pounds of food and other non-perishable items to support families across America. Our goal is to keep food banks and pantries stocked all summer long -- when children are not receiving food at school and donations are low.
Last year, the Energy Department collected over 213,000 pounds of food. This year, our goal is to meet or beat that number.
We're well on our way. Not only are donation boxes throughout our offices filling up with non-perishable food items, but -- for the first time -- volunteers are helping pick remaining fruits and vegetables from local farms. This process, known as "gleaning," clears produce that would otherwise be plowed under after commercial harvests are complete, and delivers it directly to local food banks for immediate use. Energy Department employee Tyesha Bennett and her family recently gleaned 4,400 pounds of sweet potatoes from Cheltenham Warehouse in Maryland -- meaning more fresh, healthy food for local families in need.
Other employees have organized "baseball" drives -- in which offices score runs for each 400 pounds of food they collect -- or are donating virtually by sending food from their favorite retailers directly to the food bank of their choice.
The campaign runs through August 27. On August 19, check out the National Chili Cook-off Challenge, happening at Department of Energy Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event will include a chili cook-off among 10 federal agencies, games, a barbecue and a special performance by Deputy Secretary Daniel Poneman's band, Yellowcake. The event will serve as a "can" drive -- the suggested entry fee is at least one donated can, and the winning agency will take 60 percent of donations toward their agency's donation goal. The Capital Area Food Bank will be on hand to answer questions and gather donations following the event.
Learn how to contribute to the Feds Feed Families campaign. And for details on upcoming gleaning opportunities, contact Feds Feed Families Division Director Deb Lemmeyer.
