Get Em' to Fall for Your TopwaterSubmitted by Full Limit Outdoor Media
Now that fall has fallen, it's time for those of us who chase bass into the hunting season to enjoy the experience of topwater fishing. As the water temps cool down, baitfish begin their migration toward the cooler, more oxygenated, shallow water. This is food chain-type scenario that begins with small bait, followed by bigger bait, followed by bass. Every species is a predator of those smaller than itself. The most obvious example on most big bass fisheries would be bass feeding on gizzard shad. When you find mature gizzard shad, being 4" to 10", you will find mature bass.
So, now that we have determined why the shallow bite on top is the deal, let's look at how to maximize our effectiveness in targeting this scenario.
In regards to topwater baits, there are a few distinct styles that I'm going to cover. There are popper/chugger baits, walking baits, wake baits, prop/buzzbaits and the often over-looked soft plastic jerkbait. There are obviously other styles such as frogs and such, but in the effort of time, I'm going to concentrate on the aforementioned styles.
Here is the 411 on where, why and how you apply these bait styles to your fall bass fishing as prescribed by the man, KVD himself. Popper/Chuggers – "This is one of the best choices when the water isn't super clear and there is isolated cover (targets). The design and action of these baits really lend themselves to accurate casting to individual targets. Now, the KVD Splash was also designed to be used in a walking fashion. This allows you cover more water and be more efficient between targets."
Walking baits – "This is the go-to for open, clear water. This bait style is awesome for covering a lot of water such as offshore bars, main lake flats and the backs of bays. The KVD Sexy Dawg was designed to really "one up" the other walking baits out there. It will cast a mile which can be really important in clear, shallow water. It walks really easy and that allows you to cater the action you apply to the bait to the mood of the fish that particular day. And, it is loud! The Sexy Dawg will draw fish from a long way off with its louder sound. On calm, slick days, the Sexy Dawg JR is a great choice. On choppy water, the bigger version is best. Also, on bright, clear days try lighter, or more translucent colors. On cloudy and dark days and early and late, try darker colors such as our "Black Lab" color."
Wake Baits – "There is no bait on earth draws more vicious strikes than our Wake Shad! Fish hit this bait with a full head of steam. It has an incredibly like-like profile and its action perfect mimics a distressed baitfish that has come to the surface in attempt to flee the scene. This bait is best employed in "spinnerbait-ish" conditions where the water is really clear. It's equally good in wind and calm and comes through and over submerged vegetation surprisingly well."
Buzz bait – "There's never a bad time to throw a buzzbait, however, perfect conditions would be stained water and some sort of cover. Submerged grass, topped out grass, standing timber, bushes and the likes will offer perfect cover to throw a buzzbait around. Wind can also improve the open water bite as well. The buzzbait is a really efficient tool to cover water. We offer several different versions that each offer a strength of their own. For instance, the Mini Pro-Buzz is really good when it's tough. The Tour Grade Buzzbait excels in clearer water. The Double Take is awesome in stained water. And, the all-new Swingin' Sugar Buzz is probably the most versatile of all with its unique design and how it easily it can be modified. A good cloudy, rainy, windy day in the fall can be the stuff that dreams are made of when chunking a buzzbait!"
Here is another often-overlooked weapon when fishing on top this fall; a follow-up bait is critical. If you have a bass miss your bait, blow it out of the water, swirl on it or anything else along those lines, this is when you want to hit them in the head with your follow up bait. I don't mean that you should cast it past them and then work it into the area where the missed strike occurred. I mean that you throw is with pinpoint precision to the spot where the near-miss took place. More times than not, they will inhale your follow-up offering. For this niche' yet valuable role we recommend the Caffeine Shad. It is available in 4" which is good if you're fishing for smaller fish. It comes in a 5" which is the perfect size for almost any scenario. And, it is newly-available in the 7" Mag size. This version is perfect for kicker size bass that are chasing mature bait. All 3 models are members of the KVD Perfect Plastic lineup which means that they are constructed with unique plastic parameters that ensure peak performance and action. In this case, the Caffeine Shad family are all built with super soft plastic that allows the most lifelike action of any soft jerkbait on the market, yet they also have a high salt content which adds weight for superior casting distance and also aids in the action of the bait.
So now you have all the info you need to effectively target and catch more and bigger bass on your home waters. On a side note, fishing with the aforementioned Strike King topwater baits is not for the faint of heart. We assume zero liability for strokes, heart attacks, bloody thumbs or soiled undergarments.
VanDam Catches Six Different Species on One Lure at Sturgeon Bay
Kevin VanDam is the greatest bass angler of past two decades, and the all-time leader in B.A.S.S. prize money, but based on the healthy abundance of species swimming in Lake Michigan, even "KVD" can't predict what he's going to catch on any given cast here at the Toyota Angler of the Year tournament out of Sturgeon Bay.
"In the four days I've been on the water, I've caught king salmon, steelhead, smallmouth bass, northern pike, perch and walleye," grinned VanDam, a proud Michigan native.
"That's the cool thing about fishing around the Great Lakes, you never know what you're gonna catch, and there's a good chance it will be big," says VanDam.
"This steelhead I caught today probably weighed 10 pounds, and it came from the same exact rocky shoal where I caught a legitimate 6-pound smallmouth in practice," added VanDam, showing a photo on his cell phone of the steelhead after Day 1 weigh-in as a storm pushed toward Centerpointe Marina.
Better yet, VanDam says you don't need a ton of tackle to catch the wide variety of species that swim here. "All those species came on one lure, with one rod and reel – a Deep Diving Strike King KVD jerkbait, on a 6' 10" medium-heavy Quantum TourKVD rod, and a Quantum EXO spooled with 12-pound Bass Pro Shops XPS fluorocarbon."
VanDam says the lure's color is called "Crystal Shad" – but that its ability to get around 10-feet deep helps put it in the neighborhood where so many different species swim.
Fisheries biologist Gene Gilliland serves as National Conservation Director for B.A.S.S. and is onsite at Sturgeon Bay. He's not surprised by VanDam's multispecies success. "The Great Lakes have always been abundant with a variety of species, and that variety has been made even greater due to the stocking efforts of state agencies," says Gilliland.
"For example, the steelhead Kevin caught is basically a sea-run rainbow trout, and rainbows are native to the Western US, so those fish are here directly as a result of being stocked," illustrates Gilliland.
"As great as the smallmouth fishing can be around Door County, they actually play second fiddle in popularity to salmon, and even walleye and perch – it's just a great and diverse fishery," concludes Gilliland.

Here's a question for you Vick (Hines): I'm going to be ordering the materials to make the underquilt/serape you have recommended so often. I will be making the shell out of 0.9oz. ripstop nylon and the baffles out of bugnetting, but I wonder if I should be using down or synthetic insulation? I will using the hammock (to be made of Epic) in the rainy mountains of Japan, so I'm a bit worried about the underquilt getting waterlogged from ambient moisture. I've only used hammocks for camping a few times (and have never quite been comfortable in them due to the thrashing around on the different ground pads sandwiched in the double layer hammocks I made) so I'm not really sure what to expect with the underquilt. What would your experiences suggest? Do your down underquilts handle the moisture well?When above treeline I've designed the hammock to function as a bivy (using the SpinnShelter as both a hammock canopy and a weatherworthy ground shelter), hence the Epic fabric, and I'm thinking of possibly filling polyethylene tubing with down and inserting them into the baffling in the underquilt, to be blown up and act as an inflatable mattress when on the ground. This way the underquilt can serve three functions: underquilt, serape, and inflatable down air mattress.Have you tried this? What do you think of the chances of it working?Thanks.
Michael,If you use an underquilt, you can put the sleeping pad between the underquilt and the hammock. There is another trick that works: take a rectangle of light fabric (I used 0.6 oz. polyester taffeta lining material.) 4x6.5 feet, fold a few inches over at each corner, then stitched drawstring casings at the ends and edges - by simply folding the fabric over into wide hems. 3/8" elastic goes into the casings, stitched in place in the end casings so about 18 inches in the center of each end casing does not scrunch. I open the hems on the sides 2 feet toward the center and let the elastic out there and install a simple plastic slider on each of the 4 elastic lines where they exit the casings (2 feet down the sides)(bar tark on each side of the elastic opening.) You could use cord locks instead of sliders. The loops of elastic at each corner then attach to a single mitten hook at each end of the hammock to make this rig into a sub-hammock or sling under the main hammock. Leave enough elastic to adjust it to be firm but not breaking-tight when you get into the hammock. The sub-hammock holds the sleeping pad when the weather is not too cool and the underquilt when it gets colder. No more squirming around trying to get the pad under the cold spots. The sub-hammock weighs 5.5 ounces. So, my rig consists of an adequate sleeping pad to use under the underquilt between the sub-hammock and the main hammock. Then I can get by with a lighter underquilt and have a pad when I go to ground. That's the rig I use for cold weather: hammock, sub-hammock, thin sleeping pad (also pack liner), under quilt, top quilt, cape/tarp. I usually start using the underquilt below around 45F to 50F.Down or synthetic? I use down most of the time. Under some conditions anything will get a little wet. Conventional wisdom holds that synthetics will insulate better than down when wet. Maybe so, maybe no. If any insulation gets wet the water absorbs lots of heat and it is heavy enough to cause even synthetic insulation to lose loft. I use down for river trips, too. It seems to keep on working for me. I think down has to get really really wet before it stops lofting. Its biggest enemy is soap or detergent residue from inadequate rinsing. I just about never wet out a sleeping bag to clean it. Just wipe it down with alcohol. You might want to experiment a bit with the 'inflatable down tube' idea before you commit to it whole hog. You will still have to encase the down in fabric inside the plastic tubes. Otherwise it will decorate the woods. Any you will have to use a pump to inflate them. Otherwise your breath will certainly wet the down. To make them self-inflating, you will have to overstuff them considerably, an expensive proposition both in cost and weight.

With the Chemist perk, any chems you take last twice as long."— In-game description
Chemist is a Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas perk.
This perk doubles the active time for chems.
List of Fallout 3 itemsEdit
The following items will work with this perk.
- This perk synergizes well with the Chem Resistant perk, the latter providing a 50% resistance against addiction.
- Chemist affects any item which also influence the Chems Taken statistic.
- Though it specifically states that chems will last twice as long, it affects anything you can get addicted to, including alcohol.
List of Fallout: New Vegas itemsEdit
- In Hardcore mode, all positive effects (including foods, medicines, chems...) are also affected by this perk, for example: gecko steak, RadAway, stimpak, purified water, ....etc.
- Synergizes well with Chem Resistant, Fast Times, Day Tripper, Whiskey Rose and a high Survival skill.
- If you have both Chemist and Day Tripper, all consumable foods have their times increased. For example, the effects of brahmin meat normally last for 15 seconds; with these two perks it increases the duration up to 40 seconds. This is likely due to the game engine defining a chem as anything that can "wear off", which food does in the game.
- The increased duration of healing items does not show up in the list of effects for the items on the Pip-Boy.
- This perk also affects Stealth Boys, making them last 4 minutes. Combined with Stealth Girl, they can last over 8 minutes.

As of Monday, January 28, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Two people attending an adult birthday party at a home in the Silos complex off Brown Bridge Road were shot around 2 a.m. Sunday morning when more than 30 rounds were fired into the home where the party was taking place, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
Public Information Officer Deputy Cortney Morrison said the incident occurred at 355 Emerson Trail in the Legends of Ellington subdivision.
A woman guest sustained a wound to her leg and the male security guard hired for the party was shot in the arm. Both were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Morrison said.
Investigators are working around the clock and have learned that apparently "more than one" person crashed the party, although there seemed to be no problem with that at the time, Morrison said. However, some guests have come forward to say there was a verbal altercation between the uninvited party-goers and the invited guests that escalated into an exchange of gunfire.
"We have not identified these subjects yet, but we are working diligently to do that," Morrison said. "Evidence was collected at the scene and we are working very hard to go through the evidence and see what develops from it."
Morrison said bullets from the incident also struck vehicles in the driveway and some went into the house across the street.
Morrison said the casings discovered indicate different caliber weapons were used.
Anyone who may have information regarding this incident is asked to call the NCSO at 678-625-1400 and ask to speak to an investigator or go to their website at www.newtonsheriffga.gov.

Pavel Bryk, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University
Abstract: Effective interactions between macroparticles play a key role in predicting the stability of colloidal suspensions. The bare interactions between macroparticles are attractive at larger separations due to the dispersion forces between the atoms forming the colloidal particles. In order to prevent aggregation the colloidal suspension must be stabilized either by charge or sterically. Technical developments during last two decades made it possible to prepare well-defined colloidal suspensions. With the help of video-microscopy and total internal reflection microscopy effective interactions in colloidal suspensions can be measured directly, and compared with theoretical predictions.
In this talk I will present the results of investigations of the effective interactions in colloidal systems using modern liquid-state theories. I will discuss the depletion interactions between a large colloidal particle, immersed in a "sea" of smaller colloidal particles, and various substrates. The large colloidal particle is modelled as a hard sphere, and the substrate has a certain geometrical (like a wedge, or an edge, or a regular pattern created by decorating a structureless wall by hemispheres), or thermodynamical feature (like semipermeability to some of the components of a multicomponent mixture). These results will be discussed in the context of possible experimental realisations of such systems.
I will also address the question of the onset of polydispersity on the effective interactions in colloidal suspensions with the attractive/repulsive bare interactions.

For those of you do not know about Neela Vermeire's perfumes, you're in for a treat. Neela is fragrance fan who, in 2012, launched her own house. She contracted none other than Bertrand Duchaufour (seems to be a smart trend among new houses!) to bring to life her idea: Discover Your India. Together, they urge you to sample from India's past through to its future, in the French perfume style. Sample the Vedic period in Trayee, experience the Mogul-British Raj through Mohur, and finally land in Modern India with Bombay Bling. All three scents have been well-received by perfumistas and Noses in the Know alike. Today, we're going to discuss Mohur!
One of the incredibly intelligent things the Neela Vermeire Creations line does (aside from having beautifully-made scents) is offer not only a sample collection, but also a "discovery set" which includes 10ml of each scent (only $118.55). Genius.
"Mohur takes its name from a gold coin minted during the Mogul era in Indian history. It is influenced by the story of the empress Nur Jahan, who not-so-secretly became the power behind the throne of her opium-addicted second husband. After her husband's death, Nur Jahan took up the art of perfumery while under what amounted to a house arrest. Although the perfumes Nur Jahan created are lost to history, the story is not and it is this that Neela Vermeire has taken as inspiration."
Mohur doesn't sit still often. The roses are ever present, but their dance partners change like the wind. I get different Mohurs depending on the day and on the way I apply (dab vs. spray). This does not at all discourage me from wearing it. Quite the opposite, in fact. It makes me drawn to Mohur to see which personality the winds will bring me today!
this would have been Joy."
which one is YOUR India?
Or which one intrigues you the most, if you haven't tried them yet?

Vegas has been officially canceled by CBS after a single season.
This is a shame. The show was great and the writers were really good at what they did. I loved all the characters. I guess it's not gory enough or dirty enough for most viewers or CBS' filthy standards.
This network has disappointed me once too often by canceling the wrong shows.
I had seen this was predicted and hoped it would be renewed. The season finale was pretty good and at least didn't stick us with a cliff hanger.
why, because it is not a reality show!!!! very disappointed!!!!
I loved Vegas…..and I will miss it along with CSI:NY and Rules of Engagement…..Hopefully Vegas will get picked up by AMC or Netflix
Simply the best drama on tv great period music Outstanding period cinema tograhy gripping action great understated performances all around the best beng Michael Chiklis who deserves an emmy
One of the reasons I don't watch CBS is because of them
Canceling shows like this one. Vegas was an excellent show. I too hope TNT picks it up. I will watch it just as I watch Southland. Heck, who needs the 4 major networks, I'd watch this on TNT along with Southland, the Walking Dead and Vikings. My favorite shows and none on a major network.
I rarely watch network TV shows. However, I really enjoyed Vegas. I hate to see it cancelled. I guess it wasn't silly enough. Stupid shows seem to go on for long periods of time.
CBS , you are idiots ! Vegas had high viewer numbers but since it wasnt in the 18 -49 age bracket you cancel it . Don't you realize there are more of us in numbers outside the 18 – 49 age bracket and we also have MORE buying power ? It was a good show & my wife & I enjoyed it ….we think you dropped the ball on this decision but you have people making big dollars to make these screw ups dont you ?
So, did anyone watch tonight's finale? Did it provide any closure? Want to know before I bother to watch it. Can't stand when shows end without at least a halfway decent ending.
I can't tell you how devestated we are. The final tonight of Vegas was fantastic!!! We will miss this show very much!!!
I loved Vegas. Now it's taken the same road as Harry's Law. 2 shows I truly liked. Many of us tried so hard to bring Harry and the gang back to court, but to no avail. Once the networks decide shows don't attract the 18-49 crowd, it's canceled. I still miss HL and now will miss Vegas. It was a darn good show. What a shame …
Vegas was the only show I liked this season. This show needs to go to cable so I can watch it on a real station.
Really sad to see that the show was canceled. Great characters good story line. Enjoyed the time period it was set in.
Wish the cast and crew good luck on future projects.
You can watch it… They wrapped some things up and don't leave you with anything major… I looked at some of the drama's that they are putting on in place and neither of them look as good. Other then that cbs is adding like 4 new comedies… I don't watch those or "reality" tv… Guess I'll join netflix and watch some quality shows… A-Team anybody?
Not much on tv that is worth watching, but I did enjoy "Vegas," and then CBS removes it. No wonder I spend more of my time on the internet than watch tv.
The only CBS show I watched! Awesome show! Great cast, customes etc. Stupid idiotic shows seem to be the only ones that survive I guess!
This is a great show… I am done with CBS… This was my favorite show. Idiots don't know what good TV is.
This is a great show… CBS is insane to cancel this show
Thanks todd35!

Lottery program raises $150,000 for Washington veterans
January 31, 2012
By Staff
Washington's Lottery contributed $150,000 to the state Department of Veterans Affairs after amassing the dollars through a special lottery program.
The lottery launched the Hometown Heroes Raffle last year. The $10 raffle tickets benefited the state's Veterans Innovations Program. The service provides crisis and emergency relief, plus education, training and employment assistance for Washington veterans returning from post-9/11 conflicts.
Consumers purchased 98 percent of 300,000 Hometown Heroes Raffle tickets. Officials announced the total Jan. 17.
"The Hometown Heroes Raffle created a way for the Veterans Innovations Program to continue to assist Washington's veterans where previously there was no future funding available," Department of Veterans Affairs Director John Lee said in a statement. "We're very thankful to have the lottery as a partner. With their help we can continue to serve the men and women in our state who have served us so bravely."
State lottery officials plan to make another contribution to the program in the months ahead after calculating unclaimed prizes and total costs.

(CBS NEWS) About 60 million Americans a year struggle with insomnia. Now, a new study is trying to figure out what is the best treatment for people who can't fall asleep or stay asleep.
"It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two to three hours to fall asleep. I will just lie in bed and toss and turn, and once I do fall asleep I tend to wake up," says Amy Hopkins, an insomnia patient.
The mother of two has insomnia. She is taking part in a study at National Jewish Health in Denver that is testing which insomnia treatments are best. Some patients have talk therapy to break bad habits such as using electronics before bed or not sticking to a sleep schedule.
"If they had a poor night they will actually sleep in in the morning and that keeps their biological clock off rhythm off," says Dr. Jack Edinger of National Jewish Health.
The study will enroll about 220 patients over the next two years.
Amy tried behavior therapy first and then took sleep medication for six months.
"The study helped me. I still have a lot of poor night's sleep, but I have had fewer poor nights of sleep," she says.
She still takes Ambien once a week but hopes the skills she learned in therapy will eventually be enough to get a good night's rest.

3 Lothian Road
Mon - Sat : 10am - 5.00pm
Sun : 11am - 4pm
In their most exciting development since setting up The Henderson Gallery in 2008, Henderson's, Scotland's legendary vegetarian restaurant, has moved into Edinburgh's West End with the launch of Henderson's @ St John's in the former Cornerstone Cafe beneath St John's Church at the corner of Princes Street and Lothian Road.
St John's is one of Edinburgh's most recognisable landmarks.. It was designed by the architect William Burn, whose other buildings include Inverness Castle, John Watson's Hospital - now the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art - and Montagu House, the MoD building in Whitehall. Work on the project began in 1816 and it was completed two years later.
The atmospheric barrel-vaulted dining room can seat up to 80 people and offers the very best in contemporary vegetarian cookery at prices that won't hurt your pocket. The laid back, family friendly atmosphere makes it the ideal place to relax over coffee and a cake, a light snack or a drink perhaps, while its central location means it is the perfect venue for meeting up with friends. Alternatively - weather permitting - you might like to sit outside and enjoy the stunning views of Edinburgh Castle, views that were secured by an Act of Parliament forbidding any further building on the south side of the church.
Henderson's @ St John's, in association with The Henderson Gallery, also intends to show a varied selection of the very best in modern art, with the grounds outside being transformed into an enthralling sculpture park. The building lends itself to all manner of occasions and already Henderson's @ St John's has had a varied programme of events including concerts, fashion shows, festive fairs and weddings.
Henderson's @ St John's is available for private hire for parties, meetings, receptions and product launches. The venue can hold up to 80 people seated or 200 standing and delicious catering can be provided from Henderson's famous kitchens. For details phone 0131 229 0212 or email :
Visitors to Henderson's @ St John's can also take the opportunity to look around the church itself and admire its many beautiful architectural features, its historic memorials and its magnificent stained glass windows.

What Does a Nail Technician Do?
A nail technician has some of the skills of a manicurist, pedicurist, and/or cosmetologist. The nail technician focuses on fingernails and toenails, giving clients manicures and pedicures. All beauty workers, including nail technicians, also perform business record-keeping and are responsible for cleaning and sanitizing their tools and work area. Schools offering Nail Technology degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Job Description
Nail technicians work with both fingernails and toenails on a cosmetic basis. While some technicians identify as exclusively manicurists or pedicurists, nail techs feel comfortable working with both clients' hands and feet. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS, www.bls.gov), about 86,900 individuals were working as manicurists and pedicurists in 2012, 27% of whom were self-employed. Self-employed techs may have their own salons, work from home, or rent a work space in a salon or spa.
Duties and Responsibilities
Daily tasks undertaken by nail technicians include the preparation for, the completion of, and the clean-up of nail services. Tools of the trade include stainless steel nail clippers, cuticle nippers, cuticle pushers, corn planers, tweezers, and carbide electric nail file bits. Most manicurists are trained in the application, maintenance, and removal of acrylic nails. Nail techs are responsible for the sterilization of their tools before each new client. Almost all manicurists and pedicurists are able to provide some type of light hand and/or foot massage.
Training and Licensing
In order to become a nail technician, one must complete a nail technician or cosmetology program approved by their state of residence. All states, with the exception of Connecticut, additionally require the passage of a licensing exam in order to work as a nail tech. Individuals interested in state licensing exams may refer to the National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology (NIC) as a resource for the exams required by each state, as well as practice questions in order to prepare.
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
According to the BLS, the projected job growth for manicurists and pedicurists was 16% from 2012-2022. The BLS reported the mean annual wage for such workers in May 2012 was $21,440. Nail technicians employed by department stores, health practitioners' offices, and hotels made the most money in 2012, averaging more than $27,300 a year.

The Brevard County sheriff's "Game Over" task force is crediting Local 6's investigation into an alleged online dating conman as an asset that helped lead to the Wednesday night arrest of 48-year-old Scott Gregory Campbell, aka The Playboy Conman.
In a news release, the Sheriff's Office stated that the broadcast of the "investigative story" led to a" number of victims and witnesses" to come forward, "which broadened the scope of the investigation."
According to the statement, members of the "Game Over " task force and the Flagler County Sheriff's Office acted on a tip and arrested Campbell at a home in Flagler County.
That was the 899th arrest executed by the unit since it was established in 2007.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Campbell was wanted in reference to an active arrest warrant relative to grand larceny in Osceola County.
That case is just one of what is believed to be as many as 23 incidents of grand larceny and deception in a scheme investigators say dates back to 2003.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Campbell, of Kissimmee, is accused of "conning women out of large amounts of money by convincing them to invest in his company's TV Talent Show."
Campbell remains in the Flagler County Jail on $500,000 bond.
It is not clear if he will fight extradition to Osceola County.
Local 6 has developed information that suggests Campbell was asking his past online "girlfriends" for $50,000 two weeks before he was arrested.
One source familiar with the case says the bond for the larceny arrest warrant had been set and Campbell knew it.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey stated, "The Game Over task force is a proven success in removing crime predators from our community."
Anyone with information about the case s urged to call the Brevard County Sheriff's Office at (321) 633-7162 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

SMITHFIELD, R.I. - A goal and two assists were all Bryant University men's lacrosse senior Zack Greer (Whitby, Ont.) needed to match the NCAA Division I all-time points scored record, and that's exactly what he did Wednesday night as the Bulldogs took a 13-3 win over Holy Cross in their 2009 season finale at the Bryant Turf Complex.
Nine seniors played in their final contest as Bryant wrapped up a successful inaugural Division I season with an impressive 10-5 overall record. Senior Kevin Hoagland (Glastonbury, Conn.) led the scoring with five points off four goals and an assist while linemate and fellow senior Bryan Kaufmann (Putnam Valley, N.Y.) added a trio of goals and an assist of his own, guiding Bryant to a victory on Senior Night. Sophomore Matt Larson (Cheshire, Conn.) also had a big game on offense, recording a trio of unassisted tallies in the winning effort.
"There are so many mixed emotions here," said Bryant head coach Mike Pressler. "It was such a great ride. To think about where we came from at the beginning of the year versus Virginia and to go through those 15 games and end the season at 10-5 overall just exceeded our expectations in so many ways.
"And to see the Class of '09 go out on top - a group that led us in so many ways - we're just so proud of them," he continued. "They leave Bryant University, those nine seniors, with a great, great legacy."
But in the final game of the season for both teams, it was the Crusaders (3-12) who came out to play early, recording their first goal just 10 seconds into the contest, a rebound goal by Colin Flood, to take a quick 1-0 lead.
"It was really something different to have somebody kinda pop it forward and get a break against us on the faceoff," said Pressler, who isn't used to losing many faceoffs with top specialist Andrew Hennessey (Wading River, N.Y.) at the X. "But 60 minutes is an eternity so once we settled down we certainly played better."
It would take the Bulldogs 4:04 to respond, and the response came from an unusual place - starting defenseman Matt Murnane (Rockville Centre, N.Y.).
With just under 11 minutes to play in the first quarter, Murnane intercepted a Holy Cross pass in the defensive zone, carrying the ball all the way downfield to bounce in a goal past Crusaders netminder Jimmy Harrison (15 saves), scoring his first career tally to even the score at 1-1.
"Matt's got the capability to score," Pressler said. "He's arguably our best defensemen in so many ways, but to see Matt get a great interception and run down the field and score - it was no surprise to us that he was capable of doing that."
The score would stay knotted through the end of the first period, but Bryant would open up in the second frame, scoring four-straight goals in the first six minutes.
After Matt Tyburski (Mendham, N.J.) picked up a ground ball on a Holy Cross turnover, the senior came into the offensive zone, passing the ball off to Kaufmann on the left side, who opened the scoring drive with a tally less than two minutes into the frame.
Back-to-back goals from Hoagland followed - the first one man-up and assisted by Greer for his 351st career and first point of the night - within a minute of each other, giving the home side a 4-1 advantage.
Exactly 60 seconds later, Greer turned his defenseman inside for a side netting goal, notching his only tally of the game and moving just one point shy of tying the record of ex-teammate Matt Danowski.
Flood answered Greer's goal for the Crusaders, scoring man-up and even-strength goals in the final three minutes of the half to close the gap to 5-3. But Hoagland and Greer weren't ready to retire to the locker room quite yet.
Triple-teamed with 14 ticks left on the clock, Greer laid the ball off to his linemate on the left side, allowing Hoagland to fire a bullet right into the net past Harrison to send the Bulldogs into halftime up, 6-3.
"We got up, 5-1, and kind of let them crawl back in it," said Pressler. "Hoagland had a big goal just before the half, but we weren't shooting well. We weren't taking our time putting the shots away from the goal and away from the goalie's stick, so that was the main thing to address - to just shoot the ball better."
But Holy Cross wouldn't be a threat again, as the Bulldogs would hold the Crusaders scoreless for the remainder of the game after the intermission.
"I didn't think that would happen. To do that against anybody is quite a feat," Pressler said. "We had the ball on offense a lot which certainly helped, and I think Jameson Love had some big saves in the second half and we played well defensively. But to shut out any team for 30 minutes is a big feat and it's a great way for our defensive guys to go out, holding off a solid Holy Cross team."
Scoreless, however, would not be the case for the home side, who saw Larson get going offensively after the break, scoring a pair of unassisted tallies at the second- and seventh-minute marks of the third quarter to give Bryant an 8-3 lead.
A goal by Bryant Amitrano (Valley Stream, N.Y.) would cap off a three-goal third before Hoagland, assisted by freshman Max Weisenberg (Long Beach, N.Y.), would score his final collegiate goal with 9:16 left to play in the game.
Larson chipped in one more, again unassisted, with 3:30 to play, and Kaufmann and Hoagland - one of the most prolific, four-year scoring tandems in the history of Bryant lacrosse - connected for the last time as Bryant teammates with 2:11 to play to put the Bulldogs up, 12-3.
And as the Bulldogs sought to get Greer the ball that would break the record, Kaufmann put away one more in the waning seconds of the game for the 13-3 final and 10th victory of the season.
Greer, who used a fifth year of eligibility to play for the Bulldogs in 2009, leaves the collegiate lacrosse field with 353 career points and tied for the NCAA Division I all-time scoring record.
"We certainly thought [after three quick points to end the half] that he would get that last point," Pressler said. "We tried not to make a big deal about it - we didn't really tell the rest of the guys until the very end. And not that we were overly trying to get Zack extra opportunities, but I think what really hurt Zack was the tough collision he took early on. He tweaked his back and he was never really the same player.
"It was just not meant to be," he continued. "But to see Matt Danowski and Zack Greer share this record - they were great teammates together and knowing both Zack and Matt, they'll be satisfied with that. And a lot of those points on their way to 353 they scored together, so maybe it's only fitting that they share it."
On the day, the Bulldogs sent 51 shots in the direction of the Holy Cross cage, while the Crusaders peppered freshman goalie Jameson Love (Darien, Conn.) (11 saves) with 19 shots. Bryant, led by six from Andrew Hennessey (Wading River, N.Y.) and Murnane, picked up 40 ground balls to Holy Cross's 22, also presenting a stalwart riding game that caused the Crusaders to complete just 13-of-29 clear attempts.
Hennessey, the nation's top faceoff specialist, ended his junior season on another strong note, winning 16-of-20 faceoff opportunities.
"If we just had a winning season, that would have been a spectacular year," Pressler said of the 2009 season. "But to come and surpass that and get double-digit wins in our first year certainly more than surpassed my expectations.
"But now the bar is set for the future," he added. "That's the great thing the Class of '09 has done - their legacy, all they accomplished in Division II, how they led us and what they accomplished in Division I - they're the core of this team and they have so much to hang their hats on looking back at their four years at Bryant University."

The 11R is the first ElliptiGO designed specifically for long-distance endurance events over hilly terrain.
With carbon-fiber drive arms and a Shimano 11-speed hub, the 11R is the lightest and most capable elliptical cycle on the road. Compared to the ElliptiGO 8C, the 11R gives riders another low gear to tackle the steepest of climbs and two more high gears to facilitate applying power during high-speed descents. A favorite of elite athletes as well as recreational riders looking for the ultimate in high-performance machines, the 11R is a smooth, fun ride that enables you to take on any challenge you can dream up.
- Adam Goucher, 2000 Olympian in 5,000m
I reviewed my 11R years ago and now have between 10,000 and 11,000 miles on it. It's still a joy to own and ride, and I love being outside, high above the ground, feeling like I'm flying, while getting such a great muscle building workout. I've put about four new chains on it and five rear tires, and three front tires. Normal maintenance items for that mileage have been performed. My 11R is bullet proof. I LOVE this exercise machine!
Long story short, I was a runner and enjoyed biking for a good number of years. Finally had my left knee replaced when I couldn't take a step without wincing. Dr. Said no more running and I found my range of motion less than what it used to be, even after rehab. I used an elliptical at the gym for a couple years but really missed being outside. Someone at a neighborhood party told me about Elliptigo. Bought the 11R on line and couldn't be happier. It is very easy on my knee and so much fun to ride. A 20 mile jaunt is a great aerobic workout and can be done easily in about an hour. My road bike sits in the garage because the Elliptigo is so much more fun to ride.
If you want to keep a level of fitness once enjoyed in your younger years, without pounding your knees, back and hips, this piece of gear is hands down the beast of beasts to make it happen all over again. When it comes to emulating the best of both worlds in running and cycling combined, the 11R will blow your mind in functionality and durability. Easy to master, fun to ride, I give it five stars. Good job ElliptiGo Team.....
Semper Fi!
I am an avid cyclist who rides a high end carbon fiber road bike 3,000 miles a year. The 11R Go has been a great cross trainer to mix up my exercise routine and consistently puts a big smile on my face. I also like the flexibility of hooking up the Go to my indoor trainer and riding on cold winter days.
The Service department at ElliptiGo has been great to work with. They showed me how to hook up my Garmin Edge bike computer to the 11R so I could have the same information that I utilize on my road bike.
The quality of the Go has exceeded my expectations!
As a distance runner with recurring knee problems, I have been frustrated that I can't replicate the "runner's high" except by running. The ElliptiGO has become my solution. I had tried everything (biking, indoor elliptical, treadmills etc) and nothing came close. With the ElliptiGO, I now experience the runner's high AND avoid the pounding on my knees. The ElliptiGO delivers on the promise of "running without impact". I am committed!
I have been a physical education teacher for 25 years and grew up playing every sport that came my way. I love sports and staying fit. The Elliptigo bikes are absolutely the best and healthiest new products to enter the sports world. I would rate them a 6 on the 1-5 scale. I still love to run, play basketball, and pole vault, and riding the Elliptigo has kept me in top fitness condition while keeping my legs totally injury free. After 16 hours of climbing just under 20,000 feet, my legs felt great and I could have done anything the next day. These bikes are headed for the Olympic games in the future.
I was in the first group of four to have run a marathon on all seven continents of the world and got through that without sustaining any serious joint injuries. However, this past year my back went and so did the ability to run. Your Elliptigo was a Godsend! I am out on it every day possible with no wear and tear or beating on my back. I have an 8-speed here in Florida and have just purchased your new 11-speed for my home in Maine where we have many hills.
I've been riding my 11R for 33 miles, three times a week with an elevation change of about 1,000 ft. I really enjoy the extra high gears of the 11R on the descents. It's easier for me to fold down the handlebars when I put the ElliptiGO inside my Crosstour, than it was to remove them on my previous green 8C. The black color makes it a classy machine. I'm not a competitor but I like to have high quality exercise equipment for my workout. This 11R is a delight!
I actually was a bit unsure of the need for the 11r (the extra gears), given the fact that there is a point of diminishing return because of the wind resistance created by the upright riding position. Whether you are a World Climbing Championship competitor, or someone who wants to compete with the road cyclists, or simply want to take advantage of an amazing ride that will improve your fitness, the 11r is the GO you need. Elliptigo got it right with the 11r.

Markets slump over Fed exit plan, China credit squeeze
New York • For investors, there was no place to go on Thursday.
Global markets tumbled over concern about a credit crunch in China and uncertainty about the U.S. central bank's plans for withdrawing the monetary stimulus upon which the U.S. economy has become dependent.
The global sell-off began in Asia and quickly spread to Europe and then the U.S., where the Dow Jones industrial average fell 353 points, wiping out six weeks of gains.
But the damage wasn't just in stocks. Bond prices fell, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.42 percent, its highest level since August 2011, although still low by historical standards. Oil and gold also slid.
"People are worried about higher interest rates," said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, while other analysts pointed to panic selling.
The question now is whether the markets' moves on Thursday were an overreaction or a sign of more volatility to come. What is becoming clearer is that traders and investors are looking for a new equilibrium after a period of ultra-low rates, tied to the Fed's bond-buying, which helped spawn one of the great bull markets of all time.
It doesn't mean the stock run-up is over. After all, the S&P 500 is still up 11.4 percent for the year and 135 percent since a recession low in March 2009. But it may suggest the start of a new phase in which the fortunes of the stock market are tied more closely to the fundamentals of the economy.
And that might not be a bad thing. The reason the Fed is pulling back on the bond-buying is because its forecast for the economy is getting brighter.
The job market is improving, corporations are making record profits and the housing market is recovering.
"People are overreacting a little bit," said Gene Goldman, head of research at Cetera Financial Group. "It goes back to the fundamentals, the economy is improving."
The Dow's drop Thursday which knocked the average down 2.3 percent was its biggest since November 2011. It comes just three weeks after the blue-chip index reached an all-time high of 15,409. The index has lost 560 points in the past two days, wiping out its gains from May and June.
The Standard & Poor's 500 lost 40.74 points, or 2.5 percent, its worst session since November 2011. It also reached a record high last month, peaking at 1,669. The Nasdaq composite fell 2.3 percent.
Small-company stocks fell more than the rest of the market Thursday, a sign that investors are aggressively reducing risk. The Russell 2000 index, which includes such stocks, slumped 2.6 percent. The index closed at a record high Tuesday.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.42 percent, from 2.35 percent Wednesday. The yield, which rises as the price of the note falls, surged 0.16 percentage point Wednesday after the Fed's comments. As recently as May 3, it was 1.63 percent.
A Fed policy statement and comments from Chairman Ben Bernanke started the selling in stocks and bonds Wednesday. Bernanke said that the Fed expects with qualifications to scale back its massive bond-buying program later this year and end it entirely by mid-2014 if the economy continues to improve.
The bank has been buying $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds, a program that has made borrowing cheap for consumers and business. It has also helped boost the stock market.
Alec Young, a global equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, said investors weren't expecting Bernanke to say the program could end so quickly, and are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of higher U.S. interest rates.
"What we're seeing is a pretty significant sea-change in investor strategy," Young said
For much of the year, the stock market rose with barely an interruption. The S&P 500 climbed for seven months straight from November 2012 through May. Investors, fearful of missing out on the rally, pounced on any dips and pushed markets to record highs. On Thursday, those opportunistic buyers were absent. Nobody wanted to stand in the way of the market's slide.
As investors sold stocks, they likely put the proceeds in cash "for fear the deterioration will continue," said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial.
The sharp increase in bond yields prompted investors to sell homebuilders, whose business could be hurt if the pace of home buying slows down. Those stocks fell even though the National Association of Realtors said Thursday U.S. sales of previously occupied homes surpassed the 5 million mark in May, the first time that had happened in 3 ½ years.
PulteGroup plunged $1.89, or 9.1 percent, to $18.87. D.R. Horton fell $2.13, also 9.1 percent, to $21.31.
Markets were also unnerved after manufacturing in China slowed at a faster pace this month as demand weakened. That added to concerns about growth in the world's second-largest economy. A monthly purchasing managers index from HSBC fell to a nine-month low of 48.3 in June. Numbers below 50 indicate a contraction.
A big jump in the overnight lending rate in China also unsettled investors, said Brad Reynolds, a financial advisor at LJPR. The rate measures how much banks charge each other to borrow short-term money. The People's Bank of China was forced to pump about 50 billion yuan, about $8 billion, into the Chinese financial system to alleviate the squeeze, Bloomberg News reported.
Before trading began Thursday on Wall Street, Japan's Nikkei index lost 1.7 percent. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares fell 3 percent while Germany's DAX dropped 3.3 percent.
In currency trading, the dollar rose to 97.34 Japanese yen from 96.54 yen. The euro fell against the dollar, to $1.3197 from $1.3274.
Gold plunged, leading a rout in commodity prices. Gold dropped $87.80, or 6.4 percent, to $1,286.20 an ounce. Silver fell $1.80, or 8.3 percent, to $19.823 an ounce. Both are at their lowest since September 2010.
Traders dumped gold and silver as their appeal as insurance against inflation and a weak dollar faded. Both became less of an issue after the Fed said it was contemplating an end to its bond-buying program.
Oil was swept up in the sell-off. Crude oil had its biggest one-day price drop since November. U.S. benchmark oil for July delivery sank $2.84, or 2.9 percent, to finish at $95.40 a barrel in New York. Gasoline futures fell more than 3 percent.
Some investors said the sell-off in stocks may be overdone. The Fed is considering easing back on its stimulus because the economy is improving. The central bank has upgraded its outlook for unemployment and economic growth.
The S&P 500 is still up 11.3 percent, for the year, not far from its full-year increase of 13.4 percent last year.
Among other stocks making big moves:
GameStop, a video game store chain that sells new and used games, rose $2.41, or 6.3 percent, to $40.94 after Microsoft backpedaled and said that there will be no limitations on sharing games on its upcoming Xbox One gaming console.
Rite Aid fell 23 cents, or 7.4 percent, to $2.88 after the nation's third-largest drugstore chain lowered its forecast for 2014 earnings. Where is money going? Utahns weigh in
"For the near term a lot of the money will be going to the sidelines as cash. The big question is who are the sellers. Right now it looks like the first ones out were the banks, hedge funds and traders." Toby Levitt, partner and CEO, Albion Financial Group.
"There have been reports that average investors were doing the selling, with the money going into cash simple money market funds. A lot of people appear willing not to make any money rather than risk losing it." James Derrick, chief investment strategist, Smedley Financial Services.
"Stocks and bonds both went down, which you don't see very often. But if you were watching closely, shortly before it closed, prices started rallying. That could mean some people were figuring we've about hit bottom." Ernest Hathaway, financial adviser, Financial Strategies Institute.

Q: You invite a friend to join your for Thanksgiving. She accepts but doesn't offer to bring anything. Do you ask her to contribute?
A: Yes. Families celebrate in different ways and your friend might not be used to potluck. But if that's your style, just let her know. Request something general, like an appetizer, rather than something specific, like cheese dip.

Alex Guo, Natalie Elder, and Lindsey Mann's comments
Overall value for intended audience: Assuming the intended population is the general population, I think that it works very well. Is there any more specific target audience? You provide lots of statistics, instructions, and specific examples, especially for the exercise portion, which is helpful for people who may not be able to fit a strenuous exercise regimen in their day-to-day life.
The presentation does a good job laying out good eating and exercise habits in laymans terms for the average individual. Colorful theme is nice. Pictures are missing, although they aren't necessary since the viewer will most likely be watching the video anyway. The statistics at he beginning are a good hook to keep the viewer engaged in the presentation. Lots of examples are good for demonstrating to the patient that they should set realistic goals for themselves.
The major points that should be addressed in the video are the risk factors (weight, heritage, comorbid conditions), maybe conditions and other harm caused by DM, how eating better and more exercise can help reduce the risk of DM.
The minor points that should be addressed in the video are how to tell if you are at risk (i.e., calculating your BMI), emphasize a balanced diet (could expand on this portion with specific examples), what kinds of exercise are helpful or important.
The background for slide 1 is good but I feel that it can be somewhat distracting in the slides that follow because there's a lot of colors that pop out. If there is a chance to make it even more pale I think that would be good.
Slide 2: Briefly explain what DM is before you jump into the statistics. That should help drive home the point that you're trying to make with the statistics.
For slide 2: Your presentation jumps right into prevention of type II DM. I think you should add a slide before that explains what DM II is is layman's terms
For slide 2: You have a lot of statistics on the screen that are described in words and somewhat clutter the slide. If you could perhaps make pie charts or some other graphical representation it could strengthen the point you are trying to make
For slide 2: You need to reference the study you are talking about. Not the full reference per se, but perhaps write: "A study that was done at the University of California at San Diego in 2006 showed that..."
For slide 3: What does inactive people mean? I think using 'inactive' is somewhat confusing
For Slide 4: Same comment about " A study done..." I see the cdc reference at the bottom but I don't think it's specific enough. See Comment for slide 2.
For slide 5: I love the rainbow colors in the word 'rainbow' :)
For slide 6: I think that point 4 is more of a subpoint of 3.
Slide 7: Since insulin isn't referenced anywhere else, it might be a good idea to include a brief explanation of what insulin is.
For slide 7: The last two points should follow the style of words you used in the prior points, ie. increase instead of increasing, reduce instead of reducing
For slide 7: last line stops at "releasing". Was a word forgotten there?
Slide 9: mention that one should exercise to the point of perspiration. Maybe also tell them to not get lazy and take a 5 minute break for every 1 minute of actual exercise.
For slide 10: you have a lot of specific information on strength training, but little for aerobic exercise. You could probably combine it with the information on duration in slide 9 for cohesiveness. Strength training is good for a lot of things, but aerobic exercise is a little more important for reducing risk of diabetes
For slide 11: I like the easy tips that people can use to work in more exercise into their day.
Slide 12: Maybe include in parenthesis "(#1 prescribed drug for diabetes)" next to "metformin" since people might not know what metformin is.
For slide 13: I really like the smiley and sad faces :))))
Perhaps at the end of the presentation you could mention something about getting emotional support or finding a workout buddy. Motivation is critical to the success of these programs.
If you wanted to add anything else, you could put some "when to refers" around in your slides, like on the one that talks about BMI


text: Character actress Ann B. Davis is best known among baby boomers for her alter ego, Alice Nelson, the spinster housekeeper and glue that kept the Brady Bunch family from descending into sitcom anarchy. Among older television viewers she is remembered as Schultzy, Bob Cummings' loyal, love-struck assistant on The Bob Cummings Show (1955-1959; later retitled Love That Bob for syndication). Like the other cast members of The Brady Bunch (1969-1974), Davis has made a living capitalizing on her character and has appeared in all the subsequent Brady Bunch television movies and made a cameo as Schultzy, the wise truck driver who counsels would-be runaway Jan Brady in the Brady Bunch Movie (1995). Other than that last appearance, Davis, a born-again Christian, has spent much of the last two decades deeply involved in a tiny Christian community led by Bishop William Frey, serving the homeless. Davis also lectures and testifies before church groups around the country. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Q: "Do they [the restaurant industry] have a point when they say that an increase in the minimum wage will mean a cut in service and higher costs?"
A: "Well, these are their two primary arguments: one, that it will kill jobs, two, that it will make the cost of food go up. So on that first one, killing jobs. There are actually seven states in the United States that have the same wage for tipped and non-tipped workers. They range from somewhere around $8.00 and $9.50 an hour. You can go to California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Montana, Nevada, Minnesota. All seven states have faster industry growth rates than the restaurant industry nationally. And in fact, we recently did a regression, looked at the states with the higher minimum wages for tipped workers, we found that they have higher sales per capita in the restaurant industry.
"So we would argue that evidence shows that you could actually do better as an industry, faster industry growth, more jobs, if you treat your workers better. On that second argument that the cost of food will go up. We used USDA methodology. And we applied the current bill that's moving through Congress to every worker along the food chain, from farm workers, to meat and poultry processing workers, to restaurant workers. And we assume that every employer along the food chain would pass on 100 percent of the cost of the wage increase to their purchaser. The title of the report is "A Dime a Day", because it would cost the average American household at most $0.10 more for all food bought outside the home. That's groceries and restaurants alike. So we're talking pennies more on your hamburger when you eat out, for 30 million workers to come out of poverty.
Q: "But what do you say to the small-business owner, who says "Gee I run a very small place, we-- our waiters depend upon the tips at the counter. We just can't afford it. We'd go out of business if you require us to raise their wages."
A: "I would say a couple of things. First of all, you as a small business, you are actually being cheated by these very large corporations that are running the show, setting the standards, raking in millions of profits and screwing you by getting away with very-- you know-- very, very large, high-volume business and setting standards that require you to have to pay for very high rates of turnover. Our industry has the highest rates of employee turnover of any industry in the United States. I would say-- I can point you to plenty of small businesses around the country that actually pay their workers a livable wage and have managed to cut their turnover in half, in some cases, completely out, because they treat their workers well.
"I would also say that nobody's expecting you to change your wages overnight. We're talking about policies that would phase in a minimum wage increase. A minimum wage increase for both your servers and the back of the house. But the last and most important thing I would say is this: no customer in America believes when they leave a tip that they are leaving a wage for a worker. Nobody believes that they're paying a wage. People think they're paying a tip on top of a wage. We don't think about this in any other context except restaurants. We believe somehow that because they're getting tips, they shouldn't get a wage. It's not true in any other context. And that is because of the power of this industry."
