Cleveland Kidnapper's Hanging Death May Have Been Accidental
Originally posted 10/10/2013 01:00PM
Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro may have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation, not suicide, and two prison guards falsified logs documenting their observation of him in the hours before he died, the state said Thursday.
Castro's pants and underwear were pulled down to his ankles when he was found, leading the state to forward those facts to the state highway patrol to consider the possibility of auto-erotic asphyxiation, according to the report from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
The report suggests – but does not conclude – that Castro may have died as the result of auto-erotic asphyxiation, whereby individuals achieve sexual satisfaction by briefly choking themselves into unconsciousness.

The Crossroads of the Aether
This group does not have any discussions yet.
ona - We've gotta start somewhere, right? A lot of the the folks in Seattle/Bellevue get together every week or so, but I'm just not up for driving over the mountains most weekends...I'm located around Yakima; Spokane & TriCities aren't exactly a short trip, but they're do-able. We need to find out if there's more than half a dozen steampunk enthusiasts over here & maybe try to arrange some fair-weather get togethers (anybody else here hate snot & ice driving). Summertime here the trolleys are running & the Arboretum is nice for photo days.
Mr. Von S...Hello yourself! Not sure how long I've been signed up here, but I only pop in now & then since I do try not to spend too much time online (I do have that whole real-world family that keeps my attention. I've also been working on jewelry during the nicer weather). Anyway, now that you have an operating auto, we'll have to try to get some meet-up time 'ere Steamcon. Also if we can get folks to gather here, then maybe we can get an idea out how many drysiders we've got & how close we are to each other.
Well hello! - I didn't realize this little group had formed!

This winter, my husband and I decided to take a trip around Europe. I'd only been to England before, and he'd only been to Europe on a somewhat rushed Contiki tour in 2004 (right before we met!), and we'd always talked about doing it together someday. So, since I'd already decided to go to the UK for a concert (more on that story later), we tacked on a Eurotrip where we could just wander around and do our own thing, and see the cities we wanted to see, at our own pace. And living in South Africa worked out perfectly, because it meant that I had a break from weddings in our winter, while being able to go to Europe in the lovely summer weather.
My first stop on our European holiday was Venice. Ah, Venetzia. I flew to Rome, and then got a connecting flight to Venice. I got the first two pics out of my plane window. NOTE: A camera shutter sounds really loud on a quiet aeroplane, and everyone will turn around and stare at you.
And then, Venice. It's gorgeous, and one of the best things is No Cars! It's so great to be able to wander through the streets with right of way. Actually, scrap that. Large parties of tourists, led by someone with a hat/flower/butterfly/umbrella on a long stick have right of way. Mostly because it's easier just to let them go, see where they're going, and then go be somewhere else.
Pigeons in St Mark's Square!
Of course, SOMEONE had to go one better with the pigeons…but he's my hubby and I love him.
One of many terrible self-portraits we took. I was too scared to hand my camera to a stranger!
The view from our hotel window. Oh yes. Swoon.

Official: Florida bill would create program for special vanity driver's licenses
Filed under: Etc., Government/Legal
Specialty, or "vanity," license plates are nothing new, and pending the governor's signature a Florida bill is about to usher in the age of vanity driver's licenses. Among a deep wade through the arcana of 2012 state bill CS/CS/HB 1223 – Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, one finds the removal of prohibitions on honking your horns on the highway and flashing your high beams, and this: "The department may issue to any applicant qualified pursuant to s. 322.14, F.S., a specialty driver license or identification card upon payment of the $25 fee."
Florida offers a magnificent number of specialty license plates, but its specialty driver's license program would get off to a start with, "at a minimum… state and independent universities domiciled in Florida, all Florida professional sports teams designated in s. 320.08058(9)(a), F.S., and all branches of the United States military." From there it's only a matter of time before there's a hospice service or a manatee helping you rent a car or get into a bar every time you whip out your ID.
The bill passed unanimously in both houses of the Florida legislature. In an odd note, the bill declares that the vanity ID provision will be repealed on August 31, 2016, so get in while the window's open. The bill also redefines what a "swamp buggy" is and adds an additional exemption for dead motorists who have received red light camera citations… because, you know, it's Florida.

A grand jury will hear the case against a man accused of putting an explosive device in his own car in Magoffin county last month.
33 year old Randy Back pleaded not guilty to charges of using a weapon of mass destruction and wanton endangerment. The judge sent the case to the grand jury. Police say back put the explosive device in his SUV in a shopping center parking lot. At least 100 people were evacuated while the bomb squad diffused it. Back told us in an interview last month that *his ex-wife* set him up.
We couldn't contact his wife for comment.

Yahoo report that SKY are dropping the £10 per month subscription fee for it's SKY+ PVR from July 2007 onwards.
This has come about a year too late for me, as I wanted the facilities of a PVR without having to pay for the privilege and so moved away from SKY to Freeview early in 2006.
At the time I was unsure whether I was getting good value from "Pay" television through SKY, and so did the geeky thing and kept a diary of my television viewing for a month. The results were surprising – despite the fact I was paying around £420 a year for the privilege of dozens of premium channels and a PVR facility, 95% of the programmes I actually watched were available "Free to Air" without the need to pay for them.
Freeview PVR
But I still wanted a PVR, and did like SKY+ and it's features. However, SKY weren't budging – they said if I cancelled my channel subscription, the SKY+ PVR feature went too. So I cancelled, and suddenly SKY were able to offer me the SKY+ facility for £10/month. Too late, Mr. Murdoch! I said "no thanks" to all further offers. I really resent this sort of practice – why not just tell me I could indeed subscribe to the PVR service for £10 per month, instead of pretending it wasn't possible until they were sure they'd lost my business? This was also the culmination of a ridiculous number of anti-customer practices I'd experienced from SKY – including the fact that when I 'phoned to cancel my subscription, I was told I could only cancel on certain days of the month. "Can't you just use your computer to diary my cancellation for those days then?" I enquired. "No Sir, you'll need to 'phone back on that day". Superb example of trying to use technology to hide what is simply a really poor customer retention policy SKY!
Topfield TF5800 PVR
Anyway, SKY were history and so I started looking at the Freeview PVR options – of which there were many. The clear winner appeared to be the Topfield TF5800 PVR (pictured below). It allowed the recording of two channels whilst watching an existing recording, it featured a 300GB Hard Drive, and also allowed the use of TAPS – Topfield Application Programs. Think extensible applications for your television viewing and you'll get the idea! This was a "killer" feature for me, and a year on I am still loving the ability to modify my PVR software how I want it. I can record entire series of programs, program my PVR by SMS text message, record programs by search key words, skip advertisements, set bookmarks in show playbacks, automatically organise my television recordings into structured folders, export my recordings for conversion to MPG, and much more.
The "Toppy" as it is affectionately known, also has a thriving community where you can get help and discuss problems. You can also find a more detailed review of the TP5800 here – what I would add is though, whatever "niggles" in the software or personal preferences you find not catered for by the bog standard Toppy box – you can simply upload a TAP and work around them!
Whilst I've used my laptop connected up to my Toppy via it's USB port to do my "tinkering" up until now, I've recently bought a Linksys NSLU2 box which will enable me to put my Toppy on my home network for even more functionality!
Now – I can see the allure of Windows Vista's Media Centre features, and how they might enable you to achieve the same level of functionality as my Toppy – but I think the experience works out much more expensive. You'll be lucky to build a ultra-quiet slimline PC that you can leave on 24/7 in your living room for less than £400 including a Vista license. However, if you have done exactly this, do leave a comment and let me know how you got on!
The Topfield TF5800 cost me £300 for the box, and I also had a new television aerial installed at a cost of £100 to enable a strong signal for Freeview. Total cost = £400. A year in, I'm enjoying all the features of my SKY+ PVR, and nearly all of the television shows I used to watch (with DVD rentals and purchases to cover the gaps) but am now saving £420 a year to boot!

There are a lot of things we love about Carine Roitfeld, but the fact that she has a penchant for straight Russian vodka is pretty up there. And now, thanks to the Financial Times, we know that not only does Roitfeld prefer vodka to pretty much anything else, she actively drinks it before fashion parties so as to avoid having to sip the ever present champagne. In other words: Roitfeld pre-games!
Per FT.com's interview with the ex-editrix: "While she has a taste for vodka, Roitfeld doesn't like champagne, which is a 'problem at fashion parties', so before she goes out she will have a shot of vodka to ensure she arrives in a good mood."
In what has become par for the post-French Vogue course, Roitfeld also shoots down any rumors of her taking over the reigns at American Vogue.
"It's the biggest compliment that I could edit the biggest fashion magazine on the planet but I am not totally bilingual; I am irreverent, which works in a small country like France but not a big one like America and it's a big business magazine. To edit a magazine like American Vogue you have to play politics and she is like a first lady."
And while life after Vogue seems to be coming up roses for Roitfeld, she did cite one big difference.
…Having had a longstanding distaste for handbags she is now forced to use one because she doesn't have an office. "I have discovered how useful it is to carry a book, perfume, agenda," she laughs, glancing at her capacious black leather Alexander McQueen bag by the table. "It's a new life."
And an awesome one, at that.

PTP Summer
PTP Summer!
Summer is almost here, Juniors! And this will be your last summer as a returning high school student (we hope!).
Have a great time over the vacation, but give a little time and attention to your Personal Transition Plan.
Completing portions of your PTP over the summer will help you in a number of ways. One, you won't have to rush to get your PTP in on time. Two, having your PTP nearly done will allow you to focus on the many other things seniors need to be concerned about, for example, post high school planning, financial aid applications, scholarship applications, sports and other student activities.
And three, it will give you one less thing to have to worry about.
Please see Coach Kalani in the CDC (A-1) to check out your PTP. Remember, it will be your responsibility to take care of it. If you lose it, too bad, so sad, you will need make a new one that meets the same standards by the PTP submission deadline (which will probably be in December).
If you do decided to take home your PTP, here's a couple of tips from Coach Kalani regarding how you can best help yourself:
Look for
Work Samples
. It seems a lot of the seniors this year had not saved Work Samples from their ninth, tenth and even eleventh grades. If you haven't either, now would be a good time to hunt down those old folders you have stashed around the house. Remember, you're looking for "Best Work" so take the best you can find.
Work on PTP items which require written statements like your
Request for Letter of Recommendation
Personal Statement
. Summer is a good time to spend some time thinking about what you want to say. The last thing you want to do on things like these is to rush and just write "anykine". This will just weaken your entire PTP possibly to the point that it is not acceptable.
Pull together your
Formal Assessments.
Everyone has gotten some type of certificate in recognition of academic, sports or student activities achievements. Same thing with assessments. You've all taken the HSA, PSAT, SAT and other tests and you've received score reports. Find them! Include them in your PTP!
You don't have to stop there, but those are three tips from Coach Kalani. Come visit him in the CDC before the year is out to get your PTP and more advise on how to push your PTP nearer to completion and have a less stressful senior year!
Here's a couple of examples for you to look over. These are from exempliary PTP's done by outstanding seniors this year. I've removed their names and they have agreed to let me to post their workt this way.
Here's a some samples (You will need a .pdf reader):

Sample Cover Letter

Local company collects donations to help others get back in the workforce
Drop off donations at The Mission At Kern
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Holiday shopping season is in full swing and while many people may be crossing clothing and the newest gadgets off their wish lists, there are other people who want something much simpler, to get back to work.
The Associated Builders and Contractors Central California Chapter is currently collecting gently used work clothes and boots to help men and women down on their luck get back in the workforce.
23ABC spoke with Bill Buzzell, Workforce Development Director for ABC, about this unique donation drive within the company.
"First night I saw a few people coming up with small bags and a few donations and I thought 'well this won't be that bad' and I told our coordinator that was working with us and within five minutes we were swamped", Buzzell explained.
One room is already filled with donated work clothes as well as food and toiletries but it's more than just stuff, it's a monument to people dedicated to paying it forward.
Buzzell said, "a lot of them (workers) are at entry level positions, they're struggling to get by on their own, but they know what it's like to be there and so they're reaching out and helping folks that need that hand".
If you would like to set up your own donation drive like this one for The Mission at Kern you can give organizer's a call at 325-4565 or drop donations off at 816 E. 21st Street.

Most of the components (centre piece and table top) for this project were made on the lathe. the feet were cut out with a coping saw (I do not have a bandsaw..) and then rounded over using a 1/4" round-over bit on the router table. A simple project you can make in a day.

Hello Josh, nice job. I assume that you used a skew chisel to create the trapped ring?

CANTON - Looking at barn animals is fun, but learning about farm life should be a much broader experience.
Thats the philosophy at St. Lawrence Countys Extension Learning Farm, Route 68.
Formerly known as the Discovery Center, the 130-acre learning farm is revamping its mission, consolidating office space and expanding connections with area colleges.
Were trying to make the entire facility more experiential, according to Patrick T. Ames, executive director of Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County. We want this facility to be a community resource for agri-tourism and agriculture education. Wed like to target all age groups.
Besides checking out a variety of farm animals, visitors now have the chance to see how grass and wood pellets provide a renewable energy source for the farms biofuel center.
A methane digester demonstrates how animal manure is converted into energy and heat. The farm also houses a weather station and a high-tunnel structure where vegetables grow during the off-season and the summer.
Were looking at the entire farm as an educational opportunity, Mr. Ames said.
New this year is a Farm Day Camp that will offer six weekly sessions, beginning July 2. Campers will try hands-on activities like working with pigs, heifers, lambs, dairy calves, poultry, goats and sheep. Theyll help harvest vegetables and learn about healthy eating habits, food preparation and outdoor cooking.
How many kids get the chance to pull eggs out of a layers nest? Mr. Ames asked. The camp is a new endeavor for us. Its exciting.
Archery, rocketry and outdoor skills like using a global positioning system will be part of the fun. Visiting speakers will make presentations.
On Thursday, 29 kindergartners from the St. Regis Mohawk School visited the farm and another batch is due there today. During their three-hour visit, the children had the chance to meet a 17-year-old Shetland Pony named Dexter.
He loves attention, and he loves children, Cooperative Extension employee Anita M. Morrill said. He also loves to eat. Thats why hes a little heavy.
Inside the large barn, community educator Amy L. Sands showed off baby lambs, chicks, pigs and cows.
Next, the group headed to the high-tunnel structure, where the children each planted their own bean or flower seed to take home. They learned about composting and how seeds germinate.
They also ate lunch in the farms classroom before boarding their yellow school bus for the trip back to Akwesasne. Next week, youngsters from Potsdam Headstart and Potsdam Centrals pre-kindergarten classes will make the trip. Children from Gouverneur Headstart are due May 22.
By the end of June, the extension plans to move its administrative offices from the Kennedy Farm, also on Route 68, to the learning farm. Although the farm is open to school groups, it wont re-open to the general public until construction workers finish renovating the office space. Guided tours can be set up by appointment.
The buildings and land previously used as extension office space at the Kennedy Farm will be leased by St. Lawrence University for its aricultural-based sustainability semester.
For more information about the learning farm or the Farm Day Camp, the Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County can be reached at 379-9192. Applications for camp are also available at: www.cceslc.com.

Green Cheek Conure Sounds or noises are a sight to behold...er, hear. My husband and I often joke that our green cheek sounds like 200 different birds, depending on the mood she is in. These colorful little green cheek conures are often said to have the personality of big parrot species in a small package.
One thing is for sure: they sure make the racket of a big parrot species, though thankfully not quite as loud!
Green Cheek Noise Level Versus Other Birds
For instance, you could probably hear a sun conure, a Macaw, or especially a Cockatoo screaming up the block from inside your house. That's loud! I feel blessed that our green cheek conure makes cute sounds and chirps, without bothering the neighbors like a sun conure or macaw.
Here are some of the green cheek conure sounds, and what these sounds mean:
The Duck Sound
Often heard as a low "quack" "quack" sound coming from your green cheeked parakeet. This sound may also sound like a low grunt instead of a quack noise. Your green cheek conure or parakeet makes this sound when they are under mild distress. This is mostly a "oh I don't like this situation" noise, but not quite fear.
The Bald Eagle Sound
This special sound that green cheek conures make is well...like a Bald Eagle! They emit a high pitched chirp, but this high pitched chirp is slightly lower than a whistle. This green cheek conure call can mean an aggressive bird, a territorial bird, or a bird that is in distress.
If your conure has their neck extended with extended feathers, especially when they're strutting and making this noise, watch out. Strutting, neck extention and puffy feathers (with the bald eagle noise) mean that they're getting aggressive or territorial. Put them in their cage to discourage this sound, or if already in their cage, ignore them.
Loud Screams (Fear Noise)
If your green cheek conure is in extreme distress or pain, they will scream for their life. This fear noise is, hopefully, a noise most green cheek owners never have to hear. I, as a green cheek owner, have heard it when I pulled out the tide bottle to do laundry - apparently that bright red bottle is the scariest thing in the world.
If your green cheek conure makes this sound out of fear, you will know it, because they will be flapping around the room.
Loud Screams (Boredom Noise)
Green cheek sound come in abundance when your bird is bored. Your green cheek counure will make sounds like a raspy screaming when she is bored. Take her out of the cage and play with her! Your green cheek conure needs periodic stimulation and play.
Two To Four Whistles Close Together
If your green cheek conure make sounds when you leave the room - congratulations! Your green cheek conure loves you. These birds are flock animals, so they want to be with their owner as much as possible. If you hear whistling when you leave the room, it means your green cheek conure is concerned about you, and wants to know you're alright, even if he can't see you.
Whistle back! Your green cheek conure will be delighted you're answering his call. In fact, make it into training for a talking green cheek conure. Yes, you can get your green cheek talking in this way. Whenever my green cheek conure would call me, I would answer back with a "pretty birdy" or "pretty bird." My green cheek conure now talks and says several phrases, instead of a whistle call.
Various Chirps
Chirping noises and sounds mean everything in between. They could mean anything from "good morning, I'm happy to see you," to "oh gosh, I'm scared" or "huh, what the heck is this?" Small chirp sounds can also mean a playful, and happy bird.
Every green cheek conure is different, but these are some of the menagerie of sounds you will hear as a green cheek conure owner. Recognizing these green cheek conure sounds can mean the key to a happy and healthy bird, and a less frustrated green cheek conure owner.

Deedy trial transcripts releasedUPDATED 7:16 PM HST Feb 25, 2014
New details emerging of the last day of the Christopher Deedy murder trial last year. KITV4's Kenny Choi has more on the recent release of the trials transcript.Video Transcript
New details emerging of the last day of the Christopher Deedy murder trial last year. Today, a judge today released transcripts of previously sealed court documents relating to a jury member and a possible connection to one of the sides in the case. Kenny Choi joins us from the newsroom with the latest.. kenny? We read the ENTIRE 68 page report that was finally released today... 6 months after that day in the court room. The documents show the jury foreman noticed one of his fellow jurors shaking hands with someone, who was later seen having lunch with the victim's family members..or the defendant's. Judge Karen Ahn called in the foreman to ask questions... Then ultimately decided to bring in the juror in question. That juror, whose name was redacted from transcripts said he shook someone's hand in passing in the courthouse and realized they had worked together 7 years ago. When asked about his relationship with that person, the juror said he only knew that person's first name... and that he had no contact with that person after that brief encounter. The juror said quote--- "IT WAS JUST HI, YOU KNOW, LONG TIME NO SEE." The prosecution argued it was an innocuous handshake. However, the defense attorneys believed the judge should have made more inquiries into the relationship between the juror and the person whom he shook hands with. The judge ultimately decided the juror was still impartial after asking several questions about the handshake... SAYING "IT'S SUFFICIENT THAT THE JUROR SAID-- THAT HE CAN BE A FAIR AND IMPARITAL JUROR TO BOTH SIDES," Members of the media sued to get these transcripts made public. Later that day on August 26th last year ... The judge declared a mistrial after the jury said it was deadlocked.. and could not reach a verdict. Deedy's retrial is scheduled for later this summer. The federal agent is accused of murdering Kailua native Kollin Elderts in a Waikiki McDonald's in 2011. The judge and attorneys involved also discussed how NOT to tip off the news media shortly before calling in the jury foreman about what he saw. For those details and the ENTIRE 68 page report, you can read the transcript by clicking the link on our website AND our facebook page.

Buying Guide For Computer Cables To TV
By selecting and investing in basic hardware, such as computer cables to TV, and choosing a suitable software, you can have access to almost unlimited television channels through your household's broadband connection.
Now, when exploring TV subscription deals, you should spend time checking out what options are available through net based streaming services as well as traditional cable and satellite packages. What you are likely to discover is that the online based services are more comprehensive and affordable than the traditional subscriptions.
By signing up for a net based streaming package you can potentially have access to thousands of channels for a price that is far below what you would pay for a cable or satellite TV subscription. Usually there is only a single payment involved, no monthly charges need to be met.
To be able to capitalize on this relatively new home entertainment service you will need to invest in only a single piece of hardware, namely a cable to connect you computer to your TV. This same connector can also allow you to use your television as your computer's monitor for other activities such as surfing the net and playing the latest video games.
The technology that is now available to consumers is highly advanced and far superior to that which was sold just a few years ago. With personal computers increasing in power on a yearly basis, and HD LCD and LED television sets now the norm, the quality and diversity of home entertainment options is massive. With a single cable you can pair up your computer and TV and enjoy an experience which is second to none.

To improve educational results for children and youth with disabilities from diverse communities through the delivery of effective high quality instruction.
Cohort Districts will focus on literacy and behavior. During years 1-3 of the grant, the project team will work with up to five elementary schools each in Minneapolis and Saint Paul with concentrations of students with disabilities who have high risk markers. The Common Principles of Effective Practice (CPEP) model and training, and implementation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) practices will be embedded. The Team Implementation Checklist (TIC) developed as a part of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) will be used as a model for evaluating the functioning of the district and school implementation teams.
Minneapolis and Saint Paul will collaborate to develop and share personnel development and materials; provide professional development to staff cohorts across districts, and share data utilization strategies and systems. A statewide cohort of districts will be identified for years 4-5.
For more information, contact Eric Kloos at 651-582-8268 or via e-mail.
This project seeks to increase effective parent involvement, targeting parents of students with disabilities from minority, low income and English language learner backgrounds in partnership with PACER. The project team will develop and provide staff and parent with training and resources for serving students and their families with high risk markers.
For more information, contact: Robyn Widley at 651-582-1143 or via e-mail.

President's Circle:
2012-13 Humanitarian Partners
Humanitarian Partners have made cumulative contributions in excess of
ABC11 Eyewitness News
ABC11 maintains a rich tradition of community service by supporting nonprofit organizations throughout their 23-county viewing area by producing and airing public service announcements, public affairs programming, and news coverage of events. ABC11 is extremely proud of the long partnership with the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina that includes the Heart of Carolina Food Drive. Through this 27 year food and fund drive, ABC11 has collected more than 35 million pounds of food for the Food Bank to date.
Food Lion
Food Lion is one of the largest supermarket chains in the United States, operating more than 1,113 stores in 10 states. Our company's philanthropic efforts are mainly focused on hunger relief because we believe that no one should have to choose between dinner and rent, or gasoline and groceries. Food Lion has been a dedicated Food Bank partner for more than a decade and has donated food, transportation services and food safety training. Since 2002, Food Lion has donated more than 80 million pounds of food, which is equivalent to nearly 67 million meals for those in need.
Society of St. Andrew
The Society of St. Andrew operates a statewide, volunteer-driven Gleaning Network in North Carolina that coordinates with local farmers, thousands of volunteers, and food providing agencies. The Society of St. Andrew opened a North Carolina regional office in 1992. Since then, we have secured nearly 150 million pounds of fresh produce that would have otherwise been wasted and helped distribute that produce to those suffering with food insecurity. This Network continues to grow and is currently saving, on average, 5 million pounds of fresh produce a year.
The Cisco name has become synonymous with the Internet, as well as with the productivity improvements that Internet business solutions provide. At Cisco, our vision is to change the way the world works, lives, plays, and learns. Cisco's culture of giving back, ingrained by Chairman Emeritus John Morgridge, is alive and well at Cisco's RTP campus. Cisco's Global Hunger Relief Campaign is a cornerstone of the company's local philanthropic giving. In 2013, the Campaign generated over $408,000 in donations to the Food Bank by Cisco employees, the Cisco Foundation, and the TOSA Foundation. In the 19 years since Cisco opened the RTP site, the company has provided more than $5.5 million in donations to the Food Bank through annual fundraising activities. Cisco employees have also volunteered thousands of hours.
Reser's Fine Foods
At Reser's, serving others comes naturally after all, we are a food company. Over the past six decades, we've made many contributions to worthy causes in communities across the United States. The Food Bank holds a special place in our hearts. As a "humanitarian" partner, we have donated more than 8.2 million pounds of food over the last five years.
In 2012, Walmart stores, Sam's Club locations, and the Walmart Foundation gave cash and in-kind donations of more than $39.8 million in the communities they serve in North Carolina. The Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina also received more than 8.7 million pounds of food through Walmart Distribution Centers and retail recovery at Walmart stores in fiscal year 2012-2013.
We are grateful to our Top 10 Supporters in the categories of financial donations, food industry donations and volunteers for the previous fiscal year of 2012-2013.
We are grateful to our Media Partners:
In addition, we wish to thank the thousands of individual donors who send gifts large and small throughout high and low economic times to ensure that families, children, and seniors have enough to eat. Without their support, we would not be able to carry out our mission.
Our Social Media Ambassadors carry out the message of our mission through their social networks. Comprised of social media professionals, technology enthusiasts & networked individuals, these folks volunteer for the Food Bank by utilizing their online communities to help promote Food Bank activities and events.

Item of the Day: Zara Cable Knit Cardigan
So, I had a very busy weekend and lost my only decent autumn jumper. The only one the right length to wear with my black jeans and the only one that somehow kept me warm when I am cold but not too hot when the heating is on. Yes, it's heating weather in the UK already (Please don't judge – we've all got colds and it's getting dark very early in the evening.)
Obviously, I'll head to Zara to replace it. I don't often buy from the high street – I love vintage clothes, but the musty smell in second-hand knitwear is hard to get rid of. Woollens from the cheaper high-street shops tend to get bobbles on within just a few washes. Zara is the perfect mid-point between affordable and quality.
This cable-knit cardie is perfect to replace my lost jumper. It's suitably plain to suit my winter style (practical comfort generally wins over fashion), but the gold buttons suggest some kind of effort has been made. It'll go well on its own as in the picture, or over layers. Perfect.
(Available at Zara.com or on the high street.)

Friday January 20, 1995
The witty, steamy and audacious "Erotique" is composed of three deft, sexy tales from three of today's most venturesome female filmmakers--the U.S.' Lizzie Borden, Germany's Monika Treut and Hong Kong's Clara Law.
Although the film has been rated NC-17 for explicit sex, "Erotique" is not actually hard-core. The filmmakers' clear intent is not pornographic but rather to express a woman's bemused, often complex, view of sexuality. "Erotique," which has ample nudity and blunt language, is a stylish film with an attractive, capable cast that is definitely for sophisticated adults only.
Opening the film is Borden's "Let's Talk About Sex," which she wrote with well-known sex commentator Susie Bright. Vivacious Kamala Lopez-Dawson plays a struggling L.A. Latina actress who supports herself working at a phone sex agency, where she's becoming as fed up with fulfilling male fantasies as she is with discrimination in competing for acting roles. One day, however, she encounters a caller (Bryan Cranston) who is "man enough" to hear out * her sexual fantasies. What happens next is delightfully unexpected, amusing and insightful.
Treut's "Taboo Parlor," set in Hamburg, finds lesbian lovers Claire (Priscilla Barnes) and Julia (Camilla Soeberg) deciding to pick up a man, Victor (Michael Carr), in a nightclub. He's arrogant and macho, but Treut is not content in giving him his comeuppance during fun and games with Claire and Julia, saving him for a fate that many--men, especially--will feel is rather too dire. Even so, "Taboo Parlor" is effectively outrageous. There are cameos by familiar faces: Peter Kern, as the nightclub's bartender, and Marianne Sagebrecht, as its emcee.
Arguably, Law's "Wonton Soup" saves the best for the last. It's the funniest, boldest and the most substantial of the episodes. An Australian Chinese, Adrian (Tim Lounibos), visiting Hong Kong for the first time, is having an amorous reunion after six months with Ann (Hayley Man), whom he met at college in Melbourne.
Eager for more passionate sex, Adrian turns to ancient Chinese sexual techniques, which leads to one of the most hilarious love scenes imaginable. The sequence, however, gives way to the underlying serious, potentially alienating, issue of cultural identity.
Both Adrian and Ann find skyscraper-ridden Hong Kong not very Chinese, and Ann craves to feel truly Chinese while Adrian admits that, try as he might, he cannot feel Chinese at all.
Erotique, 1995. NC-17, for explicit sex. A Group I Films presentation.

When veteran safety Lawyer Milloy joined the Seattle Seahawks last fall, most considered him valuable as a team leader and a positive addition to the locker room.
The stories were nice, and accurate, too, as far as they went. But the 36-year-old Milloy is making it clear through his offseason work with the Seahawks that he's not satisfied with being listed on the depth chart under "Elder Statesman."
He's out there with a rookie's eagerness to clobber receivers, make big plays and win games.
"I'm here because I want to compete for a chance to be on the field," Milloy said after Monday's organized training session at the team's headquarters. "If you're not thinking about being a starter and being on the field all the time, you're cheating yourself."
Milloy worked with the starting unit Monday as first-round draft pick Earl Thomas of Texas was prevented, by NFL rules, from working with the team in these sessions yet.
Milloy, not about to "cheat" himself, came up with some nice plays, showed he still has good legs under him, and also delivered a nice pop on tight end Cameron Morrah.
Milloy has been to four Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl with New England. The Hawks picked him up as a free agent last September. And although for him it represented the appealing chance to play for the home-town team, it was a new experience to join a team so late.
Milloy did what he does: He kept his mouth shut and did everything that was asked … including playing extensively on special teams, which is not customary for aging former Pro Bowl players.
"It was a very unexpected role for me, to be honest," Milloy said. "But part of leadership is buying into the blueprint of how you last in this league, by being humble, and willing to help your team in whatever way you're asked. I was never going to be vocal about my situation, but it ate me up inside not being on the field."
And even stepping up as a leader was tough, considering his newness to the team.
"Everybody was already established and I didn't want to step on anybody's toes," he said. "I wasn't really in a role I was accustomed to. You have to respect the locker room and what they had built, and I felt I did a good job of that."
New Seahawks coach Pete Carroll coached Milloy in New England early in his career, and called him one of the best competitors he's ever been around. And although Milloy is fighting for a spot on the roster, Carroll lauded him during an earlier minicamp for his willing tutelage of Thomas on the field.
As a free agent, Milloy could have forestalled his return, but he recently re-upped with the Seahawks for another year so he could be a part of these training sessions.
"If I didn't have a fire for the game, I wouldn't be doing this," he said. "I don't have to be doing this. But I've got a passion for the competition and a passion for the game, and I feel I can still do it at a high level. You saw when I got on the field last year, I got after it; I wasn't backing down from any hits."
But he knows how rare 14-year veteran safeties are in the NFL, and he's prepping for the next stage by working to build off-field connections in the business world.
"One of the biggest reasons for (playing) at home is because the transition to life after football would be easier, no matter what I do. I've been trying to perfect my craft for so many years in this one area that looking into the business world is like starting over as a rookie."
He's working on the local expansion of his charitable organization – The Lawyer Milloy Foundation – because he said, "I think the legacy of a man is not what you do in sports, but more so the way you use your platform to better the people around you and help your community."
The foundation has a broad-based set of beneficiaries, Milloy said, because he feels he owes so much to so many groups and individuals.
"The charity is open to almost anything because I've had so many people influence me in my life," he said. "I was a product of the streets of Tacoma; my mother and father did drugs; I was a foster kid, and the Boys' and Girls' Clubs really helped get me where I am."
Through the years, it's been this hunger and positive attitude that have driven Milloy to his level of success in the NFL.
And he's obviously not yet ready to give it up.

Brooke Knows Best ... not Hulkster - VIDEO
Her new show, Brooke Knows Best, premieres this Sunday July 13th at 10 p.m. ET / PT. That's right after I Love Money!
I've got a sneak peek at the first episode after the jump...
Hulk Hogan to join his son in jail?
VH1 offers the following as reasons why Hulk has not paid his bills: "Is he short on cash? Probably not. Is he planning to hit the slammer intentionally to protect little Nick? No way. Or could it be that he's trying to cut off Linda's cash flow so that she can't lavish any more gifts on her 19-year-old boy toy? Bingo!!"
Should Nick Hogan have been moved to a new jail cell?
In a conversation with his mother, Linda Hogan, Nick (real last name Bollea) described the jail cell as half the size of his bathroom with no windows. According to Nancy Grace, the cell measures 12 X 16. Nick's new digs include a cable television, unlimited phone use, a snack bar, and three other juvenille inmates. According to the Sherrif's office, he was being held in solitary confinement becuase he is seventeen and therefore too young to be with the rest of the criminal population. His lawyers apparently filed a lawsuit against the sheriff's office saying that the decision to keep their client in solitary confinement is a violation of his privacy.
What do you think? Should Nick have stayed in solitary confinement until July 27th, his eighteenth birthday?
[via VH1]
Nick Hogan gets prison time
On May 9th, after pleading "no contest," Nick Hogan (nee Bollea) was sentenced to eight months in prison. He was also charged with five years probation and one hundred hours community service per year. In addition, Nick must attend a DUI school and is forbidden to drink alcohol for the duration of his probation. Hulk and daughter Brooke begged the judge for leniency but John's family and girlfriend asked for punishment. His mother said, "I'm not seeking revenge. Only justice." John was in a coma after the accident and will probably need lifelong care.
What do you think? Does the punishment fit the crime?
'Shenanigans' claimed in Hogan divorce
Hogan is best known as the professional wrestling icon of the 80's. The couple appeared together on the VH1 reality television series Hogan Knows Best. Hulk Hogan can currently be seen on television hosting NBC's American Gladiators.

NBC getting more real in the new year
NBC unveiled its schedule for the new year and, with scripted episodes becoming scarce, it is predictably heavier on the reality side. Joining existing shows Deal or No Deal and The Singing Bee are the returning 1 vs. 100, The Biggest Loser and The Apprentice. Returning after almost fifteen years, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan hosts American Gladiators. In it, eight "gladiators" face competition from everyday joes like you and me in a variety of physical challenges. Of course, when I say "like you and me" I mean you. Me they'd snap in half but I got a good feeling about you. I think you can take 'em. Now get in there, tiger!
Hulk Hogan's wife files for divorce
At the age of 54, it looks like the Hulkster is on the market again after twenty-plus years. According to MSNBC, Hulk Hogan's wife filed for divorce. To make matters even worse, apparently he didn't even find out until the reporter investigating the story told him that the paperwork had been submitted to a Florida court.
In their VH1 reality TV series Hogan Knows Best, Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) and his wife Linda attended couple's counseling. On the show, they appeared to reconcile. This is why reality TV should in no way be confused with real life.
Hulk Hogan's son arrested
This isn't because of a new incident, it's for an old one. Nick Bollea, the 17 year-old son of wrestler/reality show star Hulk Hogan, turned himself in to Florida police earlier today and charged with reckless driving.
The accident Bollea was arrested for occurred on August 26. Bollea was racing his Toyota Supra against a Dodge Viper when he lost control and crashed into a palm tree. The family says that Bollea wasn't speeding, though I don't know what their explanation for the accident would be other than "we are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident." Bollea was also charged with having tinted windows and having a blood alcohol level of .02 or higher.
Bollea's friend, Nick Graziano, was in the passenger seat, and was critically injured. He remains in a coma.

Leaders of CSU, UC and Community Colleges Make the Case
(April 1, 2008) –California's three segments of public higher education stand united in urging the state of California to invest in its colleges and universities as a path of creating greater opportunity for the next generation of Californians, and to ensure the state's economic vitality. That was the message when leaders of the three systems – California State University Chancellor Charles Reed, University of California Provost Rory Hume, and California Community Colleges Chancellor Diane Woodruff discussed the impact of the proposed budget cuts to higher education on a recent interview on KQED radio heard in the Bay area on March 21, 2008. The three leaders have committed to work together to urge the Governor and the Legislature to reinstate funding cuts proposed in the upcoming budget, with the message that such cuts will hurt opportunities for students and further erode the economy.
Among the main messages conveyed by the leaders is that public higher education is an investment in the state's human capital and in the strength of the economic engine that has propelled California to a position of global leadership. Budget cuts will force all three segments of public higher education to constrain access to students and to make program reductions that will threaten students' progress toward timely graduation. Longer time to degree will mean more student fee payments for families, a less efficient community college transfer process, and a delay in getting talented students out into the California workforce.
Below are several of the comments from the three system leaders as they spoke with KQED's Dave Iverson:
CSU Chancellor Reed said for the first time that the CSU had to close enrollment on March 1 for more than 10,000 incoming college freshman students normally eligible to attend the CSU. He also said that the proposed budget cuts will mean less student services, counseling and access to libraries and laboratories. Reed also said that not only are the three public higher education systems at risk, but there is a bigger risk to the state's economy. "If these three great systems don't feed the economy with the workforce that it needs, with the research that it needs, and with the technical skills that it needs, then California will no longer be as competitive as it's been in the past. And, you're going to see personal income start to drop in California, and that's going to be devastating to the economy and citizens of this state."
When asked what the impact of more than $400 million budget cuts would have on the UC system, Provost Hume responded, "It would mean an enormous setback for access and opportunity for California's families, for California's young people, and for Californians all through their life. We have an amazing system of public higher education in California, where anybody has access at any time of life to the finest education in the world, and that opportunity will be damaged by these cuts." Provost Hume went on to say that if the proposed budget cuts are final, UC will have larger classes, less access to majors, longer time to earn a degree, and a higher cost for students – not to mention the economic impacts of reduced investment in the state's research engine.
Chancellor Woodruff said if the $483 million in proposed cuts to community colleges go through, more than 50,000 community colleges students will be turned away and not be able to get the classes they need to transfer or to graduate with an AA degree or certificate. Woodruff also noted that the impact of the proposed budget cuts will actually be felt by all 2.6 million California Community College students, because fewer classes will be available. Unlike UC and CSU which can limit their enrollment, California's 109 community colleges are open access institutions so all students are admitted, but it becomes much more difficult and frustrating for students because they can't get the classes they need to transfer on time or to graduate and go out into the workforce. In addition, she said that vital student services and financial aid are being cut which negatively affect the most educationally vulnerable community college students and makes it much more difficult for them to succeed. "Our whole wonderful master plan for higher education starts to unravel. And that is why the three of us have come together and are saying so strongly, please don't dismantle this wonderful higher education system that is the envy of the world. All of us have had people from other countries and states come to visit us, to say with admiration: How have you done this? How have you built this higher education system that has created the eighth largest economy in the world in California? This is the time to invest in education, not to cut it back if we want to turn the economy around."
All three segment leaders stressed that California's public higher education systems are interconnected. "We are inextricably bound together," said Woodruff. "One-third of all UC graduates are community college transfers and two-third of all CSU grads are community college transfers. When Chancellor Reed has to cut back 10,000 students, then it impacts us, because our community college students then can't transfer."
