Search of Port St. Lucie home turns up marijuana, cocaine residue; 2 arrested
PORT ST. LUCIE - Two people were arrested on drug-related charges after Port St. Lucie police searched their home and turned up small amounts of marijuana and other drugs, according to affidavits obtained Monday.
Roderick Gibson, 38, and 31-year-old Tamika Mills, each were arrested on charges including possession of not more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, cocaine possession, and drug equipment possession and or use after police on Friday executed a search warrant at their listed address in the 1400 block of Southeast Belcrest Street.
Gibson declined to speak with police, while Mills said she and Gibson smoke marijuana.
Police found items including a small amount of pot, an oxycodone pill, a razor blade with cocaine residue and small plastic bags. Police also found small plastic bags that had been torn and contained pot residue.
Mills said she didn't know anything about the drugs in the home, except for the marijuana that she said belonged to Gibson.

Calvary Baptist Church Pastor Mike Mullins said his congregation will continue to pray, and move forward, after fire destroyed the church early Sunday, and damaged the church fellowship hall next door.
"It just breaks your heart, but also it's unified our church, drawing us closer. We will not give up," Mullins said Monday, as he stood in the parking lot of the church, located at 7130 Mt. Zion Circle, near Morrow.
Fire broke out at the church, located in unincorporated Clayton County, around 3:45 a.m., Sunday, according to Battalion Chief Landry Merkison, of the Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services Department.
No one was injured in the blaze, he said.
Merkison said Monday that authorities did not know the cause of the blaze, but investigators believe it started in the rear of the building.
He said investigators did not suspect arson was involved. "We're working together with the state fire marshal's office and ATF [federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] to determine the cause. That's standard with church fires," Merkison said.
The 30-year-old church has 57 members, according to Mullins, who said he was named pastor of the church five months ago.
Although the fire did not destroy the fellowship hall facility, the building received too much damage for the congregation to hold services there, Merkison said.
"It's mainly smoke damage inside of it. A lot of soot," he said. Merkison said that all of the Sheetrock may have to be replaced in the fellowship hall.
While the fire destroyed he church, it did not stop church members from holding service on Sunday, Mullins said.
"We set up chairs and had service right out there, under that oak tree," he said, pointing to a tree on the property.
"We've received five different offers from churches to let us use their facility of some type," Mullins said. "Mt. Zion [Baptist Church] has offered to let us use one of their buildings that's not being used right now. We'll probably take advantage of the offer from Mt. Zion because they're so close."
Mullins said the congregation of Calvary Baptist Church will likely rebuild the church in the same location. He said the church does have property insurance, adding that insurance investigators were on the scene Monday.
"One of the things we're really asking for is prayer," Mullins said.
Anyone wishing to make a donation to the church may send it to 3017 Menlo Park Drive, Rex, Ga., 30273, Attention: Gail Black, according to Mullins. Checks should be made payable to Calvary Baptist Church, he said.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
From 1813 to 1834 the price of gold bullion exceeded the face value of these half eagles, leading to widespread melting. Despite generous mintages, only a handful of survivors are known of many of the higher-gold-content dates from 1813 through 1834. Such is the case here, with about 20 to 30 examples known from the original mintage of 140,594 pieces.

The Power of Attorney Tour with Client Profiles, Microsoft Software Developer and Professional Services Partner of the Year, is again making its way across the country to give legal professionals the power to put the latest in practice management technology to work for them.
For the next leg of the tour, visited cities will include Philadelphia, Jackson, Chicago, Milwaukee and San Francisco. Last fall, Client Profiles launched the tour with successful stops in Orlando, Houston, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Washington DC.
These complimentary lunch sessions at some of the country's most renowned power-lunching locations will help attendees learn how members of their firms can:
> Access the most up-to-date case and matter information from anywhere at anytime
> Capture time better to bill more and increase profits
> Leverage Microsoft Office and Outlook to save emails, calendar items and documents within a case
> Save time by automating document assembly
> Get executive performance and financial data immediately at the individual or case level
> Automate reports to be shared with clients, firm management and staff
"Anyone responsible for improving the way their law firm manages billing, docketing, documents, time tracking or any other critical business process will benefit from the Power of Attorney Tour," said Dave Hutchinson, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Client Profiles. "They will get to see first-hand how an integrated practice management system like Profiles Legal Suite can automate and streamline tasks, all within the Microsoft Outlook and Office environment."
Today's economy demands that law firms operate as efficiently and effectively as possible, and Power of Attorney sessions will demonstrate how highly-effective firms streamline their operations in ways that have an immediate, bottom-line impact.
The next stops on the Power of Attorney Tour include:
Philadelphia: Wednesday, June 15th at The Capital Grille
Jackson, MS: Thursday, June 16th at Ruth's Chris Ridgeland
Chicago: Tuesday, June 21st at Morton's Wacker Place
Milwaukee: Wednesday, June 22nd at Ryan Braun's Graffito
San Francisco: Thursday, June 23rd at One Market
Law firm administrators, CFOs, CIOs, IT directors, paralegals, accounting personnel, as well as managing partners and attorneys are encouraged to attend and register early due to limited space.
"This is a great chance for legal professionals to learn about the latest tools to help their firms prosper," added Hutchinson. "It's also going to be a great way to spend a lunch hour, with excellent food and prizes like the new iPod nano to sweeten the deal a bit."

Because South Mumbai Has Life In It Yet
Ever since Bandra, then Juhu and Andheri supplanted South Mumbai as the new "in" neighbourhood to live and party in, people have been prophesising the end of "town". The island city, with sky-high rentals and absurd living costs, could only house the very rich or landed. In short, its glamourous Art Deco building-lined southern tip, it was predicted, "will be a tourist and retirement destination." Except it might be too soon to be sounding the death knell.
After years of remaining impassive witnesses to the spurt of growth in Bandra, South Mumbai is finally seeing a revival. Restaurants, boutiques, and galleries are opening at a near-weekly pace, while residents, both local and expats, are staying put even while their offices move northwards.
Restauranteurs, even those who go to Bandra or Lower Parel first, are beginning to cast an eye at South Mumbai's tony crowd with money-glazed eyes. "There are only a handful of European restaurants, no real Italian restaurants, and only one Chinese restaurant so there's still enough of a market which could easily sustain more fine-dining restaurants," says one South Mumbai restauranteur looking to set up his second venture in the neighbourhood. "In the past, there weren't too many dining options for residents of South Mumbai, but now with so many new restaurants opening up, we see a lot of people staying back to dine here."
To wit: many of 2011's best new restaurants, from The Table to Le Pain Quotidien to Suzette, are based in South Mumbai. Kala Ghoda, with its historic neo Gothic architecture, has similarly gone through a minor revival, with Sabyasachi, Kitsch, Filter and Galerie Isa opening their doors in the last one year. Many expats still prefer the leafy, bustling and comparatively affordable confines of Colaba to set up base. South Mumbai may not yet have an I. M. Pei-designed building, an IMAX dome or a Kiehl's, but let's not forget it's still home to "old" Cuffe Parade. Even real estate developers realise that. Why else would they be luring people north with the promise of recreating the South?

"There's a lot of great things going on at BARC right now, so my roll is going to be to take it to the next level."
City councilmember said they got more emails about BARC this year than any other agency. Almost none of them were good. Fusco was brought in this summer to right the ship. Mostly to improve what they call live releases:
"The adoptions, the fosters, the rescues, and get more animals out of BARC alive. And I'm proud to say that in November we achieved an all time record at BARC of 942 animals released."
Fusco says one of the changes he made was to add another staff member that specifically works with volunteers and rescue groups. Those were some of the groups that were most critical of the agency. Still, Fusco says none of that matters if they can't control the overall number of strays.
"If we don't control animal population, obviously the rates of rescues and fosters and adoptions cannot keep up with that, so we really need to control the population."
The new general manager will start on Monday and will have six weeks to get up to speed before Fusco says goodbye.
"The great things I got Jerry for six weeks, so for me, that's invaluable. But I also know that I've got Jerry for me anytime and that was important for me when I took over this role, to have some great transition, to make sure that I was successful."
BARC'S animal housing facility is in the process of undergoing a 3-million dollar makeover. They're adding space, but they're also hoping to work with other rescue groups in Texas. Their hoping all of these changes will mean fewer and fewer animals will have to be put to sleep.

overall I am really enjoying this product. yes i wish the packaging was better done and i'm not a big fan of stick concealers but this product is too good not to use it because of those reasons. it blends really well and gives a very good strong coverage. i don't really need to touch it up to much maybe just halfway through the day. it definitely doesn't look like you get a lot of product but you do, i use this product everyday and it has lasted me a very long time

Love this, I have the yellow one. It's super creamy and works well for acne marks and above my mouth where the color is off a bit, so I need a little concealer there. I'm going to get another one for back-up. My other concealer I was using was causing break-outs, I'm guessing because of the vit E in it, that is one of the reasons I choose this one, it has no vitamin E.

Great little concealer. It's light, covers flawlessly and the price is right. Sometimes I use this in place of foundation - just covering the essentials and leaving the rest. Great buy!

I have this in green and white, and use both daily. The green is great for redness, which I have a lot of. It's very pigmented and creamy, and gives great coverage without being cakey. I use it under my foundation, and it never shows through. The only downside is the stick seems to be leaning to the side and possibly will break off.

- Nice consistency
- Cover redness
- Easy to find
- Cheap
- Twist up (Like lipstick tube)
- Clear packaging
- Doesnt conceal pimples/acne
I think this is an okay product. It conceales my redness very well but it doesnt hide my pimples/acne which is the reason why i bought it. I like that its a twist up concealer and that it has a clear packaging so you can see the color. I does have a thicker consistency than the fit me concealer so it does hide pimples a bit better but its still not the greatest. I do recommend this product to those who have redness but not to those who want to hid acne. I personally wont repurchase because i have a concealer for redness already that i like.

I have redness on my face, particularly under my nose and cheeks. I use some of this, blend well, cover with a lightweight foundation, my redness DISAPPEARS! The packaging is awesome, a lot of product and is pretty sanitary. My only complaint is it can become a bit cakey if not blended well. I'm still on the hunt for my HG green tinted product to cover redness. It was a great price, 5USD. I recommend it!

I have been using this product daily for years. It's on the thick side, creamy and works well with my very dry skin. It offers medium to full coverage, I don't find it drying at all. The colors run very light. I wear an Ivory in Clinique and the Deep 2 color is just right. It blends nicely and is very easy to apply. I don't understand the reviews stating its hard to apply. I use my fingers but one could use a brush or sponge. I can usually find this at Walmart or Target for $5 here in California.

I bought this product during my endless search for an under-eye concealer that works for me. I bought the yellow correcting shade for my purplish under-eyes. I figured because it was so cheap, even if it didn't work it wouldn't be a huge loss. I used it about three times before I threw it out. It caked, made my under-eye area look gray, and was just generally useless. I got what I paid for, I suppose.

This is actually my 3rd or 4th stick. I originally started buying them 2 years ago, being a total beginner to makeup. I wore it everyday and thought it was the best thing ever. But, as my knowledge in makeup increased, I realized that there are a lot of better concealers out there.
Pros: Full coverage, easy to access the product (useful packaging)
Cons: Gets cakey after a few hours, very heavy on the skin, doesn't match my undertone and it's too light for my skin colour, settles into fine-lines, it's very obvious when I'm wearing it.
So, as you can tell, I'm not too fond of this. It also smells very rubbery too.
I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone. It's worth it to splurge a bit and buy a high-end concealer.

Successful year for pier group
As Pier into the Future embarks on its 17th year, we are happy to share that our organization is thriving and growing as we pursue our mission: To preserve and enhance the Ventura Pier for future generations.
Last year, Pier into the Future had one of its most successful years generating 47 new pier donors, adopting five pier benches and raising more than $17,000 with Pier Under the Stars! We are busy keeping our fundraising campaign visible in the community by offering residents the unique ability to have names engraved in granite at the entrance to the pier.
We continue to partner with the city of Ventura Public Works Department to ensure the "adopt-a-bench" program on the pier offers the community options to remember loved ones and we contributed $178,000 to the city of Ventura this year to help fund necessary storm-related repairs as a result of the storms in January 2010.
And most importantly we are committed to continuing Ventura's best party in town — the 17th annual Pier Under the Stars scheduled for Oct. 2 along Ventura's Promenade.
The festivities will include live music, a showcase of more than 40 restaurants, wineries, cafes and breweries in a spectacular outdoor setting that guarantees a beautiful sunset. We hope you can join us this year in support of ensuring the historic Ventura Pier remains a treasured community resource.
Tickets for Pier Under the Stars can be purchased at the Ventura Visitors & Convention Bureau at 101 S. California Str., in downtown Ventura or call 648-2075. The event sells out every year, so residents should get their tickets soon.
We welcome your involvement in helping to preserve and enhance the historic Ventura Pier. More information about Pier into the Future can be found at http://www.pierintothefuture.org.
— Bob Tobias is president and Jenise Wagar is executive director of Pier into the Future.

Step into a store to buy a new TV and you're greeted by an intimidating array of flat screens playing everything from game shows and movies to cricket and football matches. And before you can even recover from this audio-visual jamboree, a shop-floor assistant full of sales talk appears out of nowhere, spewing jargon like active 3D display, full array LED and smart TV. It can all be quite overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. Not if you're equipped with a quick primer. So here goes...
Plasma TV
These offer the best colours and widest viewing angles, and in fast-moving pictures, motion blur or "ghosting" is almost nonexistent. However, plasma screens consume three times as much power as LED and LCD TVs.
Also, repairing a plasma can get problematic, since it's costly and your local service guy might not know how.
Finally, if an image is displayed for a long time on a plasma TV, it can get "burned" into the screen. So even after switching off your set, the corner might show that little logo of your favourite channel.
Full LED/True LED/Full-Array LED
With an entire grid of LED lights illuminating the screen, the colours look richer than other non-plasma TVs – especially the depth of the black areas.
But the viewing angle of these – as is the case with all non-plasma screens – is quite restricted. And yes, they can burn a hole in your wallet.
Only the four edges contain LED lights, so these TVs are much sleeker and the most power-efficient. On the one hand, the colours on this display can be uneven and the pictures aren't that much better than standard LCD TVs, especially not enough to warrant the additional cash.
These are the cheapest flat-panel TV sets on the market. But of course, it's at the cost of rich colours, as well as the screens being prone to ghosting – mostly noticeable while watching sports or playing video games.
Size does matter
One of the most important aspects of buying a TV is knowing the optimal size for your home. And there's a simple formula to calculate the right size for your room: Measure the distance from where the TV is going to be, to where you are going to sit to watch it.
Divide that by two. That's a good size to go with. So if you sit 1.5m away from your TV, then 30 inches (or 76.2cm) is a good approximate size.
However, this is not a hard-and-fast rule. Going a few inches either way isn't going to improve the image dramatically or make it an eye-sore. If a slightly bigger TV fits into your budget, go for it – you won't be disappointed. But remember, "bigger is better" isn't the mantra here.
Full-HD and HD
You might want to take advantage of the HD revolution in satellite TV, but should you go for HD or Full-HD? While Full-HD is definitely superior, the question is whether you will need it, or even notice the difference.
For most viewers, HD is perfect if everything they watch revolves around series and sports. And it's also good enough if you watch movies on a DVD player or by plugging in USB drives.
So what's Full-HD good for? First, if you are a gamer or plan to buy a PlayStation3 or Xbox 360 in the future, you have to have Full-HD. And if you do download Full-HD movies or buy them on Bluray, then it would be criminal not to have a TV that matches all that digital goodness.
Smart TV
Many brands nowadays are now touting smart TVs. Essentially, these are sets with pre-loaded internet apps and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which let you access Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or browse the Web on your big screen.
Most user interfaces require a little getting used to and can be hard to navigate with the regular remote controller – and specialised remotes can cost a pretty penny.
But more importantly, smart TVs aren't good enough to be your primary PC yet, so make sure you have Wi-Fi set up at home to use your internet connection on the laptop as well as the TV. Be aware, though, that some devices have only an ethernet port, offering no wireless capabilities. And that'll be a mess of interconnected cables. – TOI

Would You Rock AnnaLynne McCord's High-Waisted Bikini?
Summertime, and the living's easy -- except for those celebs who are filming episodes for their fall TV series.
Such was the case in L.A. on Tuesday, where AnnaLynne McCord, 23, joined her 90210 cast mates for a day of filming in the sun.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hottest bikini bodies
Sprawled out on the beach alongside her co-star Shanae Grimes, the star (who plays Naomi Clark on the CW teen drama) flaunted her slim figure in a black, retro-style bikini that featured a high-cut waist, cut-out designs, and tassels hanging from the sides.
PHOTOS: Stars in little black bikinis
With a figure as trim as hers, the 5-foot-7 blonde beauty proves over and over again that she can pull off anything from high-waisted bell bottoms to thigh-grazing rompers.
But for most, high-waisted fashions don't prove to be as flattering. Earlier this month, Rumer Willis stepped out in belly button-high daisy dukes -- a look which 83 percent of Us Weekly readers dissed, agreeing that the shorts were way too tight on the actress.
Tell Us: When it comes to bikinis, would you try out the high-waisted cut?

Released November 12, 2004
HATTIESBURG - Dr.
Michael Baden, star of the hit HBO series "Autopsy," and
other top forensic scientists from around the nation will present
topics during The University of Southern Mississippi's "Forensic
Science Seminar at Sea" this spring. The weeklong cruise aboard
Carnival Cruise Lines offers students course credit and access to
some of the field's leading authorities, coupled with leisurely
stops in Calica/Playa del Carmen and Cozumel, Mexico. Participants
will depart from New Orleans on March 12 and return there March
Evening workshops onboard will include crime scene
investigation, fingerprinting techniques, forensic nursing, alternate
light sources and courtroom exhibit preparations. Trade vendors
will also be present with the newest forensic technologies, including
Spex Forensics, Armour Forensics, Sirchie, Foster Freeman, Ron Smith
and Associates, Evident, and the Lynn Peavey Company.
"I will be teaching students things they can
do to make themselves better witnesses," said Smith, founder
of Ron Smith and Associates, a forensic consultation and technical
training company located in Meridian. "Today's jurors vote
based on their perception of the truth that day, and so much of
that comes from the quality of the presentation in the courtroom."
"So, even though a witness might know what to
say, it's how they say it that is critical; hopefully, we can teach
these students how to do it before they get their start in law enforcement."
The cruise is the second trip offered by the Forensic
Science Department at Southern Miss, which was recently given approval
by the Mississippi College Board to expand from a minor to a full-fledged
bachelor's and master's program. Last summer, about 100 students
participated in the seminar's maiden voyage, which featured TV celebrity
and leading forensic expert Dr. Henry Lee, star of Court TV's "Trace
Evidence: The Case Files of Dr. Henry Lee."
Program director Dean Bertram said 300 slots are available
for the cruise, with participants sharing double-occupancy rooms.
Participants have the option of taking the seminar for non-credit
or academic credit.
Southern Miss will offer a certificate of academic
instruction to coroners, deputy coroners, law enforcement officers
and other participants who do not enroll for university credit.
"We expect an even better turnout this year,"
Bertram said. "The interest has been phenomenal. Where else
can you have an opportunity to learn so much and have so much fun
at the same time? And the panel of forensic scientists is unbelievable.
Everyone has tried to get Dr. Michael Baden, but no one has managed
to until now."
Baden is the former chief medical examiner of New
York City and the author of "Dead Reckoning: The New Science
of Catching Killers." Baden is regularly called upon to participate
as investigator and expert witness in high-profile murder cases.
Past cases have included the murders of JonBenet Ramsey, Nicole
Brown Simpson and Sunny von Bulow.
Baden has been the subject of nine HBO specials, including
a "best of" show that highlights several of his most interesting
cases. Baden is a medical commentator for the Fox News Channel,
the "Catherine Crier Show" on Court TV and MSNBC.
Donald Bratton, a junior chemistry major from Ocean
Springs, attended last summer's seminar and said it was one of the
most unique experiences he's ever had.
"To have access to well-known forensic scientists--and
not just in a seminar-type setting, but on a recreational and personal
level--you're able to talk about things outside of work and see
how they are as people as well as scientists," Bratton said.
Bratton also toured ancient Mayan ruins while in port
in Mexico, allowing him to "bond with other students and professionals"
in his field.
Other forensic experts scheduled to attend the seminar
include Dr. Robert Barsley and Dr. Mary Case.
Barsley, the director of the Louisiana State University
School of Dentistry, will teach forensic odontology. Barsely also
serves as chair of the odontology section of the American Academy
of Forensic Science
Case, the chief medical examiner of four counties
in Missouri, will cover forensic pathology and pediatric forensic
medicine. A pathology professor at Saint Louis University Health
Sciences Center, Case performs more than 300 autopsies a year in
an area of eastern Missouri with a population of 1.5 million people.
Smith has worked in the forensic identification field
since 1972, including jobs with the Federal Bureau of Investigation
in Washington, D.C. He is a specialist in courtroom testimony instruction,
latent print examinations and crime scene examinations and has provided
expert witness testimony in more than 500 hundred cases.

Seminar at Sea," call Dean Bertram at (601) 266-5124 or Linda
Bass at (601) 266-4189.

Shimano Stella STL4000FE Reel
Shimano Stella FE Reels
Winner of the 2010 ICAST Best Freshwater Reel! The best in spinning just got better with the new Stella FE. Shimano aimed to make the most efficient Drivetrain in a spinning reel. They achieved their goal by using thier new X-Ship feature. The result of using X-Ship makes the handle easier to turn with or without load. This makes the most important thing in fishing easier to feel the bite. Because less effort goes into turning the handle you can detect even the lightest "tick" bites.

When a service member deploys, often there are challenges back on the home front. I know from personal experience: I had a nightmare scenario play out after a 7-month deployment.
Two commands ago, I left my stateside apartment to do the Navy's bidding overseas. A friend had a key to my pad. But still, I was not prepared for what I faced when I arrived home.
Imagine this, me opening my front door after being gone for that period of time. And finding my dining room table broken down the middle. Like a tired, old mule. Also, there were white splotches on various pieces of my furniture. Last clue: long screws were scattered here and there around my apartment.
I was renting, so the management company at the complex could really come and go as they pleased. But they knew my circumstances, that I was a Navy guy. I could not, however, piece together the three clues. It seemed too weird.
If I had only looked up, it would have become clear. But what returning Sailor bothers to inspect his ceiling when he returns from deployment?
So I take it easy on my first pass. On the phone, I inquire gently as to what happened in my apartment when I was gone. No one has any news. None. In fact, they are not sure what I am talking about.
I escalate it. I call corporate management in Baltimore to complain. And I finally get the story: my ceiling needed the drywall secured. But I am out of luck as to breaking my lease. I turn it up. I mention my dining room table. And the splashes of what I have figured for spackle on my couch and loveseat. Heck, a loveseat ain't no good all weird like that.
Then, I threaten to break my lease and get nowhere. So I look to buy a home of my own. And find a condo five miles away. I literally move in two weeks, paying the seller rent before the sale is finalized.
But the management company tries to chisel out various fees from me. Not to say anything of the month or so I still owed on the lease.
I have one threat. The truth. And I played it. Threatening to get the Navy involved. The JAG. That finally broke their back. My table was a wash. But I did not owe them anything other than what I had paid.
Sailors: always mention the JAG. Maybe folks imagine Commander Harmon Rabb Jr and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie kicking down their door. To punish them for their misdeeds.
Still my post-deployment issues are nothing in comparison to one Navy Commander, who returned from deployment to face the nightmare of her life:
While Navy Cmdr. Wilma Roberts was stationed in Okinawa, she was comforted by the knowledge that her china and cabinets, her daughter's ballerina outfit, her photos and all of her other prized possessions were safely stored in a climate-controlled unit under the military's personal property system.
But her property wasn't safe at all, she found, when she returned to Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill., this past summer.
Unbeknownst to Roberts, the personal property office had converted the storage bill to her expense, and when the bill went unpaid, the storage company sold everything she owned.
Wait, surely the good Commander could just claim her possessions from whomever had purchased them? Um, no:
A local man paid $2,101 at auction for all of her possessions — items she values at more than $60,000 — and sold almost all of it.
The silver lining, the base legal office helped her track down her stuff. (Legal office means that the JAG got involved somehow.) And she drove out to the gentlemen's house, who had purchased the contents of her storage unit at auction, to speak to him:
"When I walked up, he knew who I was because he'd seen my pictures" among her household goods, Roberts said.
She said he told her after seeing her photos in uniforms, and other items, that he went back to the storage facility and expressed concern about whether the property should have been sold.
Odom said the man was so convinced that Roberts was dead that his wife set up a small shrine at their sale of Roberts' possessions, with a picture they had found in her boxes, surrounded by candles.
Odom said the man was clearly upset when they spoke, describing how helpless he felt when Roberts sat in her car in his driveway for 45 minutes, weeping.
I have never heard a worse story from a Sailor returning from deployment. Not from our enlisted guys, nor our officers. (The buyer set up a shrine to her!) How is the Navy going to address this issue?

October 16 was National Feral Cat Day. To honor the event, the Heaven Can Wait Animal Society in Las Vegas, NV "fixed" 405 feral cats and kittens during a weekend spay-a-thon.
The event, which also commemorated the 10th anniversary of the animal welfare group's Trap-Neuter-Return program was a cooperative effort between C5 (Community Cat Coalition of Clark County), the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society and Heaven Can Wait. The goal was to spay and neuter 400 feral cats and kittens in a 48 hour period.
The spay-a-thon took an army of volunteers, veterinarians, vet-techs and trappers to coordinate and carry out the massive project and safely return the cats to their colonies all over the city. The group began at 6a.m. and worked through midnight each day.
"Alley Cat Allies launched National Feral Cat Day in 2001 to raise awareness about feral cats, promote Trap-Neuter-Return, and recognize the millions of compassionate citizens who care about cats. On National Feral Cat Day and all year round, people all across the country work to draw attention to the cause and press their local leaders for humane policies for feral cats," said Becky Robinson president of Alley Cat Allies.
Feral cats are the wild offspring of domestic housecats that were abandoned or lost. They can become wild in just one generation.
"Eleven years ago TNR was not a household term and people didn't understand that feral cats were the offspring of stray cats. So we decided to create a special day that would make the public aware that feral cats live and thrive in every landscape," said Robinson.
Heaven Can Wait Animal Society holds a feral cat spay and neuter clinic once a month. They have fixed more than 65,000 animals in the past 10 years.

I have a small colony of feral kitties that I've been feeding over the past couple of years. I've managed to fairly tame one of them, she allows us to pet her now although I can't bring her inside without freaking out. With Friends of Felines they have all been TNR'd. Recently, a little black female cat has been coming around, and I believe that she had been someone's pet, she is so friendly. She has a litter of kittens stashed somewhere but I haven't been able to find them. I want to get her TNR'd, too, and I want to catch and socialize her kittens.
Thank you so much for helping the kitties, the world needs more people like you...
It's way Past Time to Get Responsible for our Animal Friends[Domesticated That Is] The Time for Change is Now not Tomorrow to End World Wide Suffering and Torturing of these Domestic Friends of Our's,,, Spay and Neuter your Domesticated Animal Friends and as a Final Note[ Never buy from a pet store or from sites like Crags List ,, These places promote animal torturing and killing of animals , Disease and the list of offenses go on,,, Get Responsible Today and all our wild friends will get saved in your good works,,, I Advocate For All Animals Around The World,, Norm
wonderful story - hope some of them were not too feral and taken in as pets to get off the street.
Feral cats murder over 40 millions innocent songbirds each year, not to mention millions of cute baby squirrels, rabbits, flying squirrels, and so many others. As a wildlife rehabilitator, I'm tired of having dozens of innocent babies die in my hands every year covered with infected cat bites and blood. Shame on you arrogant single-species "lovers of living things" who only see killer cats, not the dozens of innocent victims of these murdering felines. Shame, shame, shame.
Mari S - yes! Imagine if cities all over would do this, just think of how many cats would be saved from slaughter because they're unwanted and homeless. Thank you, too, for what you do.
This is such an uplifting story. What an accomplishment!
Thank you so much, Heaven Can Wait. Thank you for caring.
great event! thanks for sharing :)
what a great event....
I just had a new stray show up at more door tonight. Whether the cat is male or female, pregnant or not, feral, lost or an unwanted pet I'm unsure. He was meowing at my door wanting in as the temperatures have dipped and snow flurries were falling. I'm sure he wants some shelter and food yet seems skittish around people.
Of course with a house already full of pets it's not as easy as just letting him in. I'm not sure of his temperment or if he's carrying any diseases
The people that do these TNR progams are angels and I thank them
That kitten is awake!... I hope (assume?) that they are anesthetized sufficiently as to feel no pain!
Great ideas I too hope other communities will follow.

Restoring bay grasses to historic levels is recognized to be one of the cornerstones of restoring the Chesapeake Bay.
Unfortunately, underwater bay grass acreage in Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake suffered a setback in 2003, a result of reduced water clarity caused by record levels of rainfall, and the larger than normal runoff of sediments and nutrients that ensues.
While acreage Baywide dropped 30 percent from 2002 to 2003, acreage in the Maryland portion of the Bay dropped from 52,546 acres to 30,990 acres - 41 percent.
Despite the overall reduction in bay grass coverage, several areas recorded their highest levels since the Baywide SAV survey began in 1984, including the Bohemia, middle Patuxent and upper Patuxent Rivers. Additionally, the middle Potomac River continued a two-year recovery. Analyses are under way to understand why grasses in these rivers increased while declining throughout most of the rest of the Bay.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has long recognized the need for a large-scale restoration approach. There are areas of the Bay where water quality has improved sufficiently to support bay grasses, yet natural revegetation could not take place for lack of seeds. Previously existing methods of collecting grass seeds by hand simply could not provide the number of seeds needed to support our restoration goal - 1,000 acres by 2008.
Today DNR is greatly accelerating the pace of bay grass restoration, using a combination of new technologies and conventional equipment. These restoration activities are being focused on unvegetated areas with suitable habitat, and there is the possibility that planting or seeding large beds could also lead to vigorous natural revegetation in adjoining areas.
In one recent effort, DNR's Resource Assessment Service used a mechanical harvesting boat as an innovative approach to more efficiently collect large amounts of eelgrass seeds. These photos document that effort.
Using this new technique, DNR biologists estimate they will harvest 20 million eelgrass seeds this year (compared with 500,000 last year) which could restore 100 acres of eelgrass.
This new method uses a boat to "mow" the grass beds, taking seeds and reproductive shoots but leaving the roots and rest of the plants in place. Only a small portion of the seeds and reproductive shoots are removed from each healthy bed; these will be planted later in unvegetated areas.
After the beds are "mown", the eelgrass shoots and seeds are taken to DNR's Piney Point Aquaculture Facility on the Potomac River and processed to separate seeds from shoots. This fall they will then be planed in the Potomac and Patuxent Rivers.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

What light options are out there for keeping dry while packrafting in fall/winter conditions? I remember some sort of Silnylon suit that Hig and Erin used in Alaska.
Kevin,Erin and Hig wore a prototype 2-piece Alpacka semi-dry suit. In their blog they said it was a stretch WPB fabric. The only stretch fabric with adequate hydrostatic head was Toray's Entrant Dermizax three layer material. Assuming this was the material used, Dermizax tests 8,000-10,000g/m2/24 using the JIS L1099 B-1 test. By contrast, other breathability results using the same tests are: eVENT, laminated to nylon, yields 27,826g/m2/24 hours; Gore-Tex XCR yields 21,194g/m2/24 hours; and Marmot PreCip yields about the same at 10,000g/m2/24 hours. The weight was never published but the gaskets would likely necessitate a total weight no less than 2 lbs.My size L 2-piece Mont-Bell/Kokatat semi-dry combo weighs 2.1 lbs. This combo allows a small amount of water in (1-2 cups) during a long white water swim but, not enough to experience cold water flushing.My size L Kokatat GFER dry suit weighs 3 pounds and is absolutely dry inside after a long white water swim.
I'll wait for the Alpacka version.I figure that the qualities that make the Packrafts great, will work well for the dry suits.

MOBILE - Several hundred friends and family members gathered Thursday to remember a Mobile man killed in an suicide bomb attack in Iraq.
Brett Anthony Hunter was four days shy of his 30th birthday when he died in the Dec. 21 attack on a military mess tent near Mosul. The incident killed 22 people and injured about 70 others.
Hunter was working for Halliburton subsidiary KBR as a lab technician on a water purification project, the Mobile Register reported.
"He did everything with a lot of heart and with a lot of determination," said Roy Lewis, Hunter's uncle, at the memorial service in Radney Funeral Home. "He loved his family. He never came or went from my house without giving me a hug."
Lewis said his nephew had very strong faith and now "outshines the sun."
Lloyd Skoda, Hunter's high school baseball coach, also spoke at the service.
Hunter graduated from Faith Academy in 1993 and went on to Faulkner State Community College, where he earned an associate's degree in applied science in 1996.
"Brett was always happy because he was always helping others," Skoda said.
He told mourners that Hunter had asked his parents to send safety glasses and gloves to Iraq for Filipino workers who could not afford them.

CreatureCast: Suddenly Visible
By Pathikrit Bhattacharyya, Stefan Siebert and Casey Dunn | May. 28, 2014 | 3:24
Being invisible has its advantages, but also its perils. A marine creature called Hippopodius gets the best of both worlds by transforming from glassy clear to bright white and back again.

With tens of thousands of visitors expected to enjoy 22 events planned next month as part of Downtown in December, some may be blissfully unaware of a time not long ago when such merriment was in short supply.
Downtown in December marks start of second decade in Oklahoma City
Jane Jenkins, president of Downtown in December, credits the festivities with solidifying downtown as a top holiday attraction that provides restaurants and a small but growing number of retailers with customers who might otherwise have chosen to stay closer to home in the suburbs.
"The holidays for a lot of families are about building traditions," Jenkins said. "And many have built traditions on participating in Downtown in December."
Opportunities for new traditions are being added annually. Over the past few years, the festival has seen the addition of the Chesapeake Energy Snow Tubing at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, the Devon Saturdays with Santa at the Myriad Gardens, and the SandRidge Santa Run.
The Devon Ice Rink, which relocated last year to the Myriad Gardens, is being expanded by 20 percent to accommodate large crowds.
Brand-new additions include the conversion of the empty Myriad Gardens restaurant into a temporary eatery and site of pop-up shops, free weekly holiday movies at Harkins Theater hosted by Continental Resources Inc., and a Winter Market at the gardens hosted by OU Medicine.
"Hopefully we give them something new each year," Jenkins said. "Those people come back every year — they have an expectation of a quality, family atmosphere."
It all started in 2002 when a fledgling Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. sought to build a festival based on just two existing events — what was then known as the "Festival of Lights" at the Myriad Gardens (a display still sponsored by Oklahoma Gas & Electric), and the Mayor's Christmas Tree (currently sponsored by SandRidge Energy Inc. in Bricktown).
Mark Funke, who was then president of the Bank of Oklahoma and co-chaired the first year with Ashley Perkins, then an area manager with Southwestern Bell, envisioned creating a winter festival that could someday match the spring Festival of the Arts, one of the top 10 arts shows in the country.
"They're far ahead of where we are today," Funke said in the weeks leading up to the 2002 launch of Downtown in December. "But five years from now, I can envision we will have a festival atmosphere in downtown Oklahoma City during the month of December very similar to what we have with the arts festival."
They had high hopes, but Devery Youngblood, the inaugural president of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc., recalled in a recent interview that just starting up the ice rink (originally at the Civic Center park) was no easy task.

'This kind of weather, when it gets 15 degrees out, I'd be dead right now if I was outside'
EUGENE, Ore.- The Eugene Service Station on Highway 99 provides services including warm shelter and meals during the day for homeless adults.
While Egan Warming Centers open during freezing nights, few shelters are available during frigid daytimes.
As a homeless senior, Thomas Rivas believes the services are imperative.
"This kind of weather, when it gets 15 degrees out, I'd be dead right now if I was outside. These people are God-sent, and they're the best," Rivas said.
The Eugene Service Station has been serving the community for 18 years. It's open year-round from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. to local adults.
When Egan opens, the facility welcomes daytime guests at 6 a.m. so nobody is left out in the cold.
Keith Heath works at the facility.
"The Eugene Service Station is a place you can come in the daytime and get your daily needs met and not have to deal with the elements out there," Heath said.
The services station provides breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack.
There are also laundry and shower facilities.
Warm clothing, tents and sleeping bags are distributed to those living outside in a tent or in a car.
"I have friends that are just camping by the train tracks," said homeless resident Randy Ivey. "They don't have heat. Just to have a hot meal, shower, and clean clothes changes everything."
Because of extreme temperatures this year, the Service Station is asking for the public's help.
They say socks, sleeping bags, boots, and hats are most in demand.
You bring your donations to the service station at 450 Highway 99 North during normal business hours.
Nearby LTD bus lines: 40, 41, 43, 95
Hours of Operation: 7 Days a Week from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. except 2nd and 4th Sundays from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The longest and most contentious holdout of the NFL preseason ended Thursday when Chris Johnson agreed to a four-year, $53.5 million contract extension — including $30 million guaranteed — with the Tennessee Titans.
Johnson, who has two years remaining on his current deal, is now signed with Tennessee through the 2016 season.
Fantasy Source: Johnson's new deal affects Ringer, Harper
Johnson's new deal, first reported by The Tennessean, is superb news both for Johnson and the Titans. After a 35-day holdout, Johnson is now being paid like the star that he is, averaging more than $9 million over the next six seasons. Meanwhile, the Titans have one of the league's most explosive players back in time for their Sept. 11 regular-season opener against the Jaguars.
Knowing that running backs cannot count on longevity, Johnson insisted on getting a new deal before reporting to camp. At times, it appeared his holdout might last into the regular season. Johnson has rushed for more yards than anyone in the NFL over the last three seasons, and he used that leverage to his advantager.
"Running backs have such a short shelf life,'' FOX sports analyst and former NFL coach Jimmy Johnson said. "You look at all the top running backs, and very few of them were at the top of their game for a long period of time. They might have had a couple of years, and then after a couple of years somebody else is at the top."
Listen: Podcast | NFC: East | North | South | West | AFC: East | North | South | West
The guaranteed money gives Johnson financial security, no matter how long he remains a top back. Meanwhile, others impacted by Johnson's deal include:
— Titans offense. It could have been ugly without Johnson. Now the Titans will be far more difficult to defend. Johnson is a true game-breaker who can go the distance on any play.
He is a complete back, a threat to reach the end zone running off-tackle, running outside, catching a pass out of the backfield or making tough yards in the red zone. Because Johnson demands so much attention from defenses, he makes life easier for his teammates.
With Johnson on the field, Matt Hasselbeck becomes a better quarterback and wide receiver Kenny Britt becomes a more dangerous downfield threat.
— Other top running backs. They are smiling, most notably Adrian Peterson of the Vikings. Peterson is in the final year of a contract that will pay him at least $10.72 million this season. And Peterson is only 26, just six months older than Johnson, who turns 26 on Sept. 23.
Assuming Peterson stays healthy this season, he will be in position to seek more than Johnson. The Vikings may elect to put the franchise tag on Peterson next season.
The Bears' Matt Forte, also seeking a new contract, is surely paying attention to Johnson's numbers as well. Forte can't demand Johnson money, but he probably figures the price to sign him just went up.
— Titans opponents. Even if the Titans are not a playoff contender, they are a much tougher foe with Johnson. They were 5-2 at one point last season before fading to 6-10. The Titans are still a long shot to make the postseason, considering they have a new head coach (Mike Munchak) and compete in the tough AFC South with the Colts, Texans and Jaguars. But Johnson gives them a chance to be respectable.
"He's been the workhorse of their offense," said Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, who is a FOX analyst and Sporting News contributor.
Now the Titans' workhorse is a lot richer.

Filled Pumpkin Ginger Snaps + Giveaway!
|By Kayla Domeyer| Featured, Gifts, Giveaways, Holiday, Recipes, Uncategorized
Today I want to share one of my favorite go-to holiday recipes. These spicy ginger snaps are filled with a sweet butterscotch and pumpkin filling, spiced with a little pumpkin spice. I usually pull this one out for work functions, or when I don't have a lot of time. I'll show you how to make the gingersnaps from scratch, but I won't tell if you're running behind and decide to start with some store bought snaps. ;D
The Ginger Snaps
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (preferably dark)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (plus extra for rolling)
- 1/4 cup dark unsulphered molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
- Using a stand or a hand mixer, whip butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the molasses, egg and vanilla. Beat until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixer slowly, and mix until well combined.
- Chill the batter until firm (20-30 minutes.)
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place some white sugar in a separate bowl. (I use a Cinnamon sugar) Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. I use a small melon scoop to portion them evenly.
- Roll the balls in the sugar and place them on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Using a plate or the bottom of a glass, flatten the balls slightly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until cookies feel dry on top. (Cook longer for more crispiness.)
- Let snaps cool on a wire baking sheet while you prepare the filling.
The Butterscotch Pumpkin Spice filling
- 1 bag of butterscotch chips
- 3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree
- 1 can cream cheese frosting
- 1 tablespoon Pumpkin spice (I use the Chai spice from my Roasted Acorn Squash & Chai Ice Cream recipe. I make a bunch at once and use it for everything!)
- Microwave the butterscotch chips in a large bowl for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until melted.
- Add the pumpkin, spices, and 1/2 of the can of frosting.
- Stir until combined. If needed, microwave at 30 second intervals until smooth.
- While warm, pipe the filling onto the bottoms of half of your ginger snaps.
- After a few minutes the filling will soft-set. Add the top snap.
- Once filled, the snaps will absorb some moisture from the filling. It makes them more of a whoopie pie texture than a true, crunchy, snap. My family prefers them this way- but if you want yours to be snappy when your guests eat them, hold off on filling until the last possible moment.
I hope you have liked my recipe and that you enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

Hi, I'm Dr. Jerry Jackson, out with the wild things. Most woodpeckers feed on insects found in trees and can live in forested areas of North America year-around. The yellow-bellied sapsucker, however, specializes in drinking the sweet sap of trees and during cold weather, trees become dormant with no flow of sap. Sapsuckers must migrate to warmer climates in search of food. As they fly south, they travel at night, stopping by day to feed at sap wells made in previous years and on ripe fruit such as persimmons. There are distinct differences in the migrations of males and females. Most male sapsuckers winter in middle to southern states, while females fly farther south, sometimes to the Caribbean or Central America. A female sapsucker's long journey is rewarded with an abundant supply of sap and fruit. Males have less food available, but being used to the colder weather of their winter home, they can travel north in spring sooner than females. Some males return while northern areas are still frozen because the first males to return get the best nesting areas, and these are the areas females will favor when they return from their winter in the southern sun.
'With the Wild Things' is produced at the Whitaker Center in the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida Gulf Coast University. For 'The Wild Things', I'm Dr. Jerry Jackson.
