Moonda nephew: Uncle's marriage not happy
AKRON, Ohio -- Dr. Gulam Moonda was not happy in his marriage despite his widow's assertions that they had a "perfect marriage," the physician's nephew testified this morning.
Dr. Faroq Moonda said he and his wife helped consol Donna Moonda a few hours after Gulam Moonda's fatal shooting along the Ohio Turnpike on May 13, 2005.
"She said she didn't know why this happened. (She said) they had a perfect marriage. They were so much in love. (He was) the best thing that ever happened to her," Faroq Moonda testified.
Faroq Moonda, who was raised by his uncle from the age of 14, testified in the second day of testimony in the trial of Donna Moonda, 48, of Hermitage, who is charged with murder-for-hire and related crimes.
Donna Moonda told police her husband was killed by a highway robber who apparently saw him flashing large amounts of money at a rest plaza as he traveled with his wife and mother-in-law to meet Faroq Moonda in Toledo.
Damian Ray Bradford, 25, of Center, later admitted that he and Donna Moonda were having an affair and that he shot the doctor after she promised to give him half of her share of the multi-million estate.
Bradford is cooperating with prosecutors.
Under cross-examination today, defense attorney Roger Synenberg asked Faroq Moonda: "Isn't it true that Dr. Moonda was not happy in his marriage?"
"You could say that," Faroq Moonda replied.
Lt. Judy Neel, commander of the Cleveland investigations office of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, testified that troopers received two tips on May 19, 2005, that Donna Moonda and Bradford were having an affair and that Donna Moonda and her husband were getting a divorce.
One of the calls was from a Pittsburgh homicide detective who got a tip from a confidential informant.
The other was from Pennsylvania State Police, who got a call from a woman calling herself Charlene Farr. It was later learned that Charlene Farr was Bradford's fiancee, Charlene McFrazier, of Leetsdale.
Synenberg told jurors on Monday that McFrazier also called Dr. Moonda in 2004 to tell him that his wife was having an affair.

First Place Finish for PCM Girls Golfers Advances Mustangs to Regionals
Posted By Sports On May 15, 2012 @ 6:04 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Placing all four of their scorers in the top ten individually, the PCM girls golf team kept their impressive season rolling with a first-place finish – while Pella Christian finished in sixth – in Monday's District Meet at State Center.
The Mustangs held off a hard-charging West Marshall squad – which had the benefit of playing on its own course – and set a new team 18-hole record in the process. Their 381 was eight strokes better than the previous record set this season, and gave them a 12-stroke victory over the Trojans. Pella Christian's team score of 456 put them in front of CMB and Eddyville-Blakesburg, but was not enough to extend the season for the Lady Eagles.
Individual runner-up Maddie Peters fired an 89 to lead the Mustangs, who kept their top four scores all below 100 – including personal bests from Kaitlyn Wilkie (96) and Kelsey Van Veen (97). Up next for the PCM girls golf team is the Regional Tournament at Pine Lake Country Club in Eldora.

Sandra Bullock hasn't just become an Oscar winner in 2010.
She's also become a mom, Hollywood's unofficial best secret-keeper and, sadly, a divorcée.
The actress reveals her latest titles in the cover story of the new issue of People, on newsstands Friday. The front page of the weekly shows her beaming with her newly adopted son, Louis Bardo Bullock, and the confession that she and Jesse James are heading for divorce.
The adorable tot is 3½ months old and the result of a four-year adoption process inspired by James' daughter Sunny.
Louis was born in New Orleans, brought home quietly in January and named after Louis Armstrong because his proud mom heard "What a Wonderful World" in her head the moment she laid eyes on him.
"The first time I met Louis, it was like the whole outside world got quiet," she says. "It was like he had always been a part of our lives."
The timing—smack in the middle of awards season—was less than ideal, so the family agreed to keep the new addition out of the headlines until after Bullock picked up her haul of statuettes.
"I did not want him brought into a world that would not have been too sincere to him as I wanted," she claims. "I wanted to be alone with him as long as I could, then we had to tell his story."
But it turns out Bullock will be raising Louis alone, she also confessed. She'll be finalizing the adoption as a single parent.
After the shocking revelation that her husband had been cheating on her, Bullock took her son and left the house as quickly as possible, "before the vultures [descended]."
"Yes, I have filed for divorce," she says. "I am sad and I am scared."
James will remain in Louis' life, however.
"I really don't know how our paths will intersect in the future, but the father I have known Jesse to be...is one that I hope Louis can experience one day, no matter how Jesse and I go on with our lives," she admits.
James echoes some of those thoughts—as well as hope for reconciliation—in a statement he released to People.
"I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four children and the mate Sandy deserves, and realize that this is an incredible mountain to climb," he says. "But I believe the steps I have taken in the last 30 days are the foundation to making this happen."
Larry Hackett, managing editor of People, told the Today show that it was Bullock herself who came to them with the desire to share her big news. He said that, as far as her feelings about Jesse go, "there's no anger. There's sadness, obviously."
"Maybe I needed this to happen so I could be the best mother to Louis," Bullock says. "We wouldn't know the sweet moments in life unless we had the pain. And painfully, I'm going to miss so much."

Sina Entertainment, January 11th, Media Day hosted by C-jes entertainment company for JYJ member Park Yoochun took place in Beijing, Sina Entertainment had an exclusive interview with Park Yoochun. When asked about his real character, he said he is like Jung-Woo from Miss You, because he is patient. Because he continuously starred in two popular dramas, he expressed that after "I Miss You" is wrapped up, the place he would most like to travel to is Cuba.
Sufferings through filming of "I Miss You", comments Harry's character is too sick
Park Yoochun, because of the popular Korean drama Miss You recently received more attention from an increasing number of fans. The engaging performance of the actors adds considerably to the story. But because of the sad storyline and the freezing winter weather, Park Yoochun suffered a lot through filming. When asked what was the most painful moment during filming, he said "Because there are a lot of crying scenes it takes a lot of energy. And in the cold winter weather, my mouth often becomes frozen when I'm saying my lines." He also said "when the chilling wind is blowing, it's not easy to cry." Bursting the audience's fantasy of Jung-Woo's lines from the drama "I'm not crying; it's because the wind is blowing" making appear very real and interesting.
When asked if his own character is closer to Jung-Woo or Harry, Park Yoochun exclaimed "Of course I'm more like Jung-Woo, I'm good at waiting!" To clarify, Park Yoochun explained, the character in the drama Harry played by Yoo Seung Ho, is a control freak with an obsession to the point of sickness. He would never be like that. He would give the women he loves trust, and never forego his principles. Regarding Jung-Woo waiting 14 years for love in the drama, Park Yoochun realistically expressed "14 years of waiting makes the story appear very beautiful,but in reality it is not that easy, it's too long." When saying this he made an expression of "I can't even imagine it", the expression was very cute.
Miss You's tragic ending is logical, after wrap up of drama, he really wants to travel to Cuba
During an earlier event, Park Yoochun already expressed that he hopes that "I Miss You" will end in a tragedy. Now there are only 2 more episodes until the finale, how the story will end naturally becomes the topic of our concern. Regarding this, Park Yoochun expressed: "Even though people around me may not agree, but my hope for a tragic ending has not changed." At the same time he explained: "Even though it is not necessary for the story to have a sad ending, but seeing how the plot line developed until today, only Jung-Woo's death would give this story a logical ending, making everything rational."
In the year 2012, Park Yoochun continuously acted "Rooftop Prince" and "I Miss You", both receiving excellent results, but he didn't get to take a break to rest well. When asked what is the one thing he wants to do after the filming is complete, and where is the one place he wants to go the most, it seems like he could draw a beautiful picture in his mind, he said "After "I Miss You" is complete, I want to go travel, if I have to choose one place it would be Cuba, there I would be able to be free and rest."
JYJ's new album in the agenda, hoping to eat roast duck in Beijing
The year 2013 just begun, Park Yoochun already placed the work for JYJ's new album in his agenda. Regarding his own project, he says he doesn't have any plans, but he said as long as there's a chance, he will bring a music or movie project to fans. Upon his return to Beijing, he was asked the food he wanted to taste, Yoochun quickly expressed he has asked staff to take him to eat roast duck, after he is eating, he would like to sleep. Even though he is full of life, it could not conceal his tiredness which pains us. When asked to speak a few words in Chinese, Park Yoochun shyly said "I learned Chinese more than 10 years ago, but now I forgot most of it. Because I watched a lot of zombie movies, I can only shout 'Jiu ming ah (save me)'." His works made everyone burst out laughing.
This trip to Beijing, in certain view can be seen as Park Yoochun's first step to enter into China. Even though he is humble about it and said he only came to greet China's media and express his gratitude, but believe after this, Chinese fans will have more opportunities to see him. Regarding fan meeting, Park Yoochun also expressed with "Miss You" it will be an opportunity to have fan meetings in more locations.

The male reproductive system creates sperm that is manufactured in the seminiferous tubules within each testicle. The head of the sperm contains the DNA, which when combined with the egg's DNA, will create a new individual. The tip of the sperm head is the portion called the acrosome, which enables the sperm to penetrate the egg. The midpiece contains the mitochondria which supplies the energy the tail needs to move. The tail moves with whip-like movements back and forth to propel the sperm towards the egg. The sperm have to reach the uterus and the fallopian tube in order to fertilize a woman's egg.

Obamacare Drags Dems Down
Perhaps even in Oregon.
Jan 20, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 18 • By MICHAEL WARREN
In 2014, very few Senate Democrats are safe from the undertow of Obamacare. One who—surprisingly—may not be is Jeff Merkley of Oregon. Merkley, by all accounts, should safely win reelection in November. Elected in 2008 over incumbent Republican Gordon Smith, he's a perfect fit for the state's population center, the progressive hipster mecca of Portland. As the Oregon house speaker, Merkley advanced a liberal laundry list of items like an expanded indoor smoking ban, a ban on junk food in schools, and more laws to limit discrimination against same-sex couples. In the U.S. Senate, he's been a hero to the grassroots left for pushing for filibuster reform but has otherwise been a loyal liberal in line with an increasingly Democratic state. Obama won Oregon in 2012 by 12 points, and in the GOP's banner year of 2010, senior Democratic senator Ron Wyden won handily over his Republican challenger.
Gary Locke
Despite all those advantages, Merkley's race may well be one to watch. If Obamacare continues to unravel and Republicans are running up big numbers against Democrats in Arkansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Alaska, Virginia, and Montana, the unpopularity of Obama's signature reform could claim a seat most analysts still consider solidly Democratic.
Merkley's support is shallower than it appears. His victory in 2008 was only by 3 points, and he didn't break 50 percent. A recent poll by one Republican-affiliated group found just 33 percent of likely Oregon voters say he deserves reelection.
More consequentially, Merkley is an unabashed supporter of Obamacare. He joined the rest of his Senate Democratic colleagues and voted for it in 2010. Indeed, Merkley made his own version of the now-infamous promise that under the law, if you liked your insurance plan you could keep it. "You would have the choice of sticking with the plan you have," Merkley told constituents at a 2009 town hall meeting in eastern Oregon.
That promise has already made its way into an ad for one of Merkley's potential Republican challengers, Dr. Monica Wehby (pronounced "webby"). Wehby juxtaposes Merkley's promise with local news coverage of Oregonians who are losing their insurance or seeing higher premium rates since the Obamacare implementation. Her ad ends with the tagline: "Keep your doctor. Change your senator."
"One of my friends came up with it," Wehby laughs in an interview. "Our bumper stickers are flying off the shelf!"
Oregon has plenty of reasons to be angry over Obamacare. State officials announced in October that the individual plans of around 150,000 Oregonians would be canceled because they did not meet Obamacare requirements. The state's insurance exchange website, Cover Oregon, has been plagued with worse technical glitches than the federal exchange. Since December, two top Cover Oregon officials, including the program's director, have resigned. The day after the state's enrollment deadline, Cover Oregon announced that just about 20,000 people had enrolled in private plans, far below initial projections and fewer than the 150,000 who had enrolled instead in Oregon's Medicaid program.
The point, Wehby says, is Merkley sold the law as less intrusive and disruptive than he knew it would be. "People will forgive you if you're trying to do the right thing and you make a mistake," she says. "But when you deliberately mislead people and then they find out that you deliberately misled them, that's a tougher thing to get by on."
Senate Democrats across the country, from Oregon to New Hampshire, made similar promises about Obamacare. That will certainly hurt those red-state Democrats up for reelection, people like Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas, who top the GOP's most wanted list. But the intrusion of Obamacare into the lives of many Americans means Democrats like Merkley who appear well protected could be in for a surprise.
"You're seeing in the data that a lot of people who voted for Obama are unhappy" with Obamacare, says Tim Miller, executive director of the Republican-aligned opposition research firm America Rising.
"Barring some unforeseen event, Obamacare will be the issue," says Jennifer Duffy, senior editor at the Cook Political Report. "And Democrats believe that."
So do Republicans and conservative groups. "A 2010 vote for Obamacare is going to be a millstone around the neck of any Democratic senator except in the most blue of states," says Jonathan Collegio of American Crossroads, one of the major conservative super-PACs. "It will be the central policy issue in the conversation in 2014, and Democrats will be desperate to change the subject to personal issues, local issues, or whatever issues."

I bought an original 50s dress yesterday, which is amazing as I never see anything in my size. It generally fits well and the fabric's lovely but there's something odd about the neckline and I'm feeling the urge to do something about it. It looks like it's strayed on from a dress for a much smaller person. Possibly whoever drafted the pattern sized the rest of it up for larger sizes but didn't bother changing the neckline. It kind of rides up in a weird way round the sides and back and looks particularly disproportionate when I'm wearing a cardigan.
I could easily find some more white ricrac and alter it. Maybe either take a couple of cm off all round the neck, or possibly just off the back and sides. Views?
That is a lovely bright dress and looks like it fits you really well in general. Is it actually uncomfortable around the neck to wear, or just not what you find usual? Is your cardigan from the same era? Vintage styles are so different from what people wear now and I have found the necklines very high and claustrophobic in some of the ones I've tried.
The cardigan I knitted myself so is not vintage.
It's not so much that it's uncomfortable as that it doesn't sit right. But you're right, it's also not what I'm used to as I generally wear quite low necklines.
Perhaps from a thin swan-necked person?
I would recut a soft scoop neck (copy another) and
it would still look Vintage. You could use the excess as a bias.
Assume you have to move a back zipper--or not, if it goes over your head.
Funky shoes, are they British-made?!
Looks like vintage foundation garments would have made a difference in the fit and draping of the the bodice. Consider also who might have worn it. One of my grandmothers wore modern underpinnings and one did not.
Lucky you to have found the dress.
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
Bizarrely there is no zipper at all, which is fine with me as I don't normally need one - but I wouldn't want to do an elaborate hairstyle first and then put it on!
The shoes are El Naturalista who are Spanish. They have some lovely things although not that style any more I think.
True, but I don't think that would affect the actual shoulder line and width of the neck. At the moment there's suddenly too much room at the shoulder at the inner edge, but then not quite enough to accommodate the neck.
I just think this was either (1) a badly graded pattern designed by someone who didn't understand cutting for larger sizes (very likely) or (2) a home sewer who borrowed the neckline from a smaller size dress. There's lots of hand sewing inside it so I reckon it was made at home or by a small dressmaker.
I think we have this idea that everyone had great fitting clothes in the past, but I was looking at photos of my granny's wedding in the 30s once, and you've never seen a more ill-fitting bunch of clothes on the guests - and they were quite well-off too and not plus sized. -- Edited on 6/10/12 2:39 PM --
I have an idea. Why not slash at CF, down about 3" or so, then face this area, leaving it open, and put a button at the neckline with a thread loop closure? That way you can overlap the fullness, or you could even remove it by redrawing from the CF down to the slash.
------"Play the cards you are dealt, but choose who is sitting at the table"..AARP magazine
SEE MY ETSY SHOP HERE: http://www.etsy.com/shop/AuntMaymesAttic
My blog: http://auntmaymesattic.wordpress.com/
I don't think that would deal with it, but in any case I'm less worried about the fit than the appearance.
I think really the choice comes down to either just widening the neck, or cutting it bigger all round. I think I want to keep the basic shape as I like it and that's how it's meant to be. Also, either of those things would deal with the fit issue (and if it doesn't I can take a little in on the shoulder seams which would).
It's very interesting looking at how it's made. The hand sewing is incredibly tidy, yet the seamstress always used her thread doubled. Some of the seams are hand sewn and some are machined - I wonder if she only had access to a machine at someone else's house perhaps. And the edges are pinked - I guess no zigzag stitch in those days! The neck has a very narrow facing which is turned under and sewn down - never seen that before.
It's a pretty vintage dress overall. I think that neckline may be the result of poor drafting or perhaps stretching during construction (those curves being biased edges).
Frankly, the fit looks good to me below there, and I think you could lower the neckline while keeping--and stabilizing!--those sweetheart curves, as here, keeping things quite period-correct.

Your goal is to spend the maximum amount of time talking to women on the phone.
First, let's talk some phone game theory.
Men and women view the telephone very differently. Men view the phone as a tool that allows us to schedule our lives and arrange meet ups with our friends. For a woman, talking on the phone is almost as good as meeting up with a friend. For example, when two guys chat on the phone, the conversation usually goes something like this:
Now, I ask you guys this: have you ever heard a woman talk on the phone like that? No! A woman would think that a conversation like the one above is weird and unnatural, and it's exactly the way that a lot of guys come off when we call a woman and immediately change the subject to meeting up.
Women want to chat on the phone, even if it's silly small talk. When we understand this, we can change our phone habits so they make women enjoy our calls, and feel comfortable and natural meeting up with us.
So, here are some rules for a little phone game exercise. Please don't see these rules as hard and fast laws that need to be followed all the time, but techniques designed to improve your natural phone game.
The goal of this is to make you into one of those people who is constantly talking on the phone, getting phone calls and socializing over the phone. You want to get calls back while you are on dates, and constantly interacting with a wide group of friends. You'll be amazed at how this changes your social dynamic.
Good luck, guys!

After several days of persistent snow, wet snow, fog, freezing fog, sleet, mist and more snow in the mountains, the sun finally shined for a few hours Thursday morning upon the highest elevations of the Northeast. By mid afternoon Thursday, clouds and snow enveloped our mountain tops once again, where we expect them to remain through much of the weekend, as winter officially kicks off. With some luck, many mountains will pick up a few more inches of good base-building snow Friday morning, perhaps some mixed precip and even rain to follow, and then a good 4 to 6 to 10?" of lighter snow by Sunday. Keep those snowy thoughts flowing. Old Man Winter is now officially here to stay for a while.

And Happy Winter Solstice to everyone, and we wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season, too. Ski you out there!

Mike Jones

The Winchester administration faced a difficult decision. Mike Jones was being considered for the school's vacant athletic director position, but that also meant a critical choice for one particular sport. Jones has been the school's football coach for the past two seasons, and principal Tom Osborn said the administration and school board weren't interested in a leadership change in that sport.
So it was decided Jones would fill both roles. He was approved on Monday as Winchester's new athletic director, replacing Tim Passmore, who is stepping down. Jones is 13-9 in his tenure as the ...

Submitted to: Swine Day Report
Publication Type: Experiment Station
Publication Acceptance Date: August 28, 1997
Publication Date: N/A
Interpretive Summary: Traditionally, piglets are weaned at 21 to 28 days of age. However, the use of early weaning (before 17 days of age) is becoming increasingly common in the swine industry. Early weaning can improve the health status of piglets resulting in improved pig growth. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of weaning age and dietary protein level on sow performance. Forty-two sows were fed either a high protein or low protein diet during lactation. Their piglets were either early weaned (EW, 8-17 days of age) or conventionally weaned (CW, 20-31 days of age). Sows were then slaughtered on either day 4,6, or 8 postweaning and various tissues were collected for examination. Early weaning reduced sow weight loss associated with lactation. Accordingly, the piglets weights were also lower when early weaned. Examination of the sows reproductive tracts revealed that EW sows had not recovered from the previous pregnancy as much has CW sows. The brain levels of beta-endorphin and CRF, two hormones associated with stress in pigs, did not differ between the groups of sows suggesting that weaning time did not impact these stress-related pathways. In summary, early weaning appears to have minimal negative biological effects on sows. However, following EW, sows require additional time for recovery of the reproductive tract whereas CW sows are typically ready to breed immediately following weaning. The potential loss in reproductive efficiency of the early weaned sow should be weighed against the benefits in pig output when choosing a weaning age.
Technical Abstract: The use of early weaning (less than 17 day lactation) to develop high health status pigs is becoming increasingly common in the swine industry. Early weaning provides health status benefits that result in improved pig growth performance. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of weaning age and lactation dietary crude protein level on sow physiology and performance. Forty-two first parity sows were fed either a high protein (HP, 21.5%) or low protein (LP,14.4%) diet during lactation. Sows were either early weaned (EW,8-17 days) or conventionally weaned (CW,20-31 days). Sows were slaughtered on either day 4,6 or 8 postweaning and various tissues were recovered for examination. Early weaning reduced sow lactation weight loss, back fat loss, and litter weaning weight (P<0.05). Uterine weights of CW sows decreased at a greater rate and to a lower weight by day 8 postweaning than EW sows (P<0.02). The concentration nof beta-endorphin and CRF in the hypothalami of EW and CW sows did not differ suggesting that early weaning did not impact these stress-related pathways. Increased dietary crude protein during lactation increased the total number of ovarian follicles and early weaning tended to reduce total follicles by approximately 2. The potential loss in reproductive efficiency of the early weaned sow should be weighed against the benefits in pig output when choosing a weaning age.

"Major Tom (Coming Home)" (German: Major Tom (völlig losgelöst), translation: "Major Tom (totally disconnected)"), is a song by singer Peter Schilling from his album Error in the System. With a character unofficially related to "Major Tom", the theme of David Bowie's 1969 song Space Oddity, the song is about the character being caught in an accident in space.
The song was originally recorded in German, and released in West Germany on January 3, 1983. It reached No. 1 in West Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The English version was first released in the United States on September 24, 1983. It reached No. 1 in Canada, No. 14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart in late 1983,[1] and No. 4 in South Africa. The English-language version of the song also reached No. 2 on the dance chart in the U.S.[2]
In 1994, Schilling made and released a remixed version along with Bomm Bastic, titled "Major Tom 94". Another remix was released in 2000, titled "Major Tom 2000", and yet another in 2003 titled "Major Tom 2003".

A Flippin Elementary School student runs to class Monday in front of a 1970s building on the campus. The Flippin School District is asking voters to approve 2.5 mill increase to fund a new elementary school. Polls open 7:30 a.m. today.

FLIPPIN - "To give you an idea of the condition of these buildings, if we wanted to get a new roof for them and asked the Arkansas Department of Education to help, they would say no," Flippin Elementary School principal Tracie Luttrell told The Bulletin Monday, looking around the 10 buildings that house students on her campus. "They would say no and tell us all the buildings have lasted beyond their life expectancy, and they are worth zero dollars."
That's just one of the reasons the district is asking voters to head to the polls today and approve a 2.5-mill increase in the district's millage rate. ...

Authorities say the human remains found last week in Cleveland during a renewed missing person search are those of a woman who was pregnant and 18 when she disappeared in 1995.
The Cuyahoga County medical examiner's office confirmed Friday that the remains belong to Christina Adkins. She vanished in January 1995.
Prosecutors have said they believe a Cleveland man is linked to her disappearance.
Elias Acevedo, 49, faces aggravated murder, rape and kidnapping charges in the death of Pamela Pemberton in October 1994, and of another woman in 1995.

In the north-western corner of Estonia, at Cape Põõsaspea, you may often see people peering through binoculars. At first it seems like they're watching nothing but the sea, but no... This Estonian Nature Tours trip begins at the very tip of Cape Põõsaspea in Lääne County and then continues on to the Silma nature reserve. On 'busy' days here the number of migrating birds is just as impressive as in Matsalu. The 'high season' of autumn migration has seen as many as 60,000 birds counted in a day. The price includes the service of a guide, a picnic lunch and is valid for groups of 6-16 people. It lasts app. 5 hours. Ask us about our family offers!

"We spent 15 days in Rob's house and it was really great. The location of this house among the trees and the decoration appeals to a zen attitude.

Asheville City Schools officials on Monday attempted to address the questions and concerns of parents after a teacher at Vance Elementary was arrested on charges that he twice molested a child.
Charlie Glazener, spokesman for Asheville City Schools, said the alleged victim was not one of the second-grade teacher's students. Glazener also reiterated the incidents did not happen on school property. But school officials wanted to have a meeting with the parents of Aaron Paul Cook's students.
"The parents have concerns and questions, and rightfully they should," Glazener said. "They want ...

Are violent video games, TV, movies having a negative impact on youth?
Gun control seems to be the dominant topic following the Sandy Hook tragedy, followed by mental health.
But there are some people who are also concerned about the violence in movies and video games.
They question whether those forms of entertainment may be a factor in all these shooting tragedies we hear about.
There's actually one senator who wants experts to take a closer look to see if these violent game and movies are playing a role.
Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller introduced a bill this week, according to Politico .
Under the bill, the National Academy of Sciences would explore whether violent games, especially interactive ones, are having a negative impact on our youth.
There have been reports that Adam Lanza, the shooter in the Sandy Hook massacre, constantly played "Call of Duty" and "Starcraft."
The same would go for violent TV content or movies.
According to Politico, Rockefeller is also calling on the FTC and the FCC to toughen up video game regulations.

Chilean mockingbird (Mimus thenca)
|Mimus (1)
|Length: 28 – 29 cm (2)
Classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1).
Although unremarkable in appearance, the Chilean mockingbird's song is considered to be the finest of any Chilean bird (3). The plumage is predominantly brownish-grey on the upperparts, with dark streaks on the head, neck and back. The underparts are paler brownish-grey, becoming dirty white on the belly and buff on the flanks, with elongated brown markings. Perhaps the most distinctive features of this species are the white stripe, which runs above the eye, and the dark streak directly below, as well as the white-tipped tail feathers. The impressive vocalisations of the Chilean mockingbird consist of variable notes and phrases, along with the mimicked songs of other bird species (2).
The Chilean mockingbird is endemic to central Chile (2).
The Chilean mockingbird occupies a broad range of habitats, including semi-desert; lowland, succulent coastal scrub; savanna bushland; and dense evergreen mattoral, where it is most abundant (2).
The Chilean mockingbird is most commonly encountered foraging on the forest floor, or in low-level vegetation, for insects and fruit (2). As observed by Charles Darwin during his visit to Chile, individuals of this species often have a dusting of yellow pollen around the bill, which is acquired while feeding on small beetles found inside flowers (4). The Chilean mockingbird plays a vital role in the life cycle of the parasitic mistletoe species Tristerix aphyllus by transferring seeds to the host plant, a cactus Echinopsis chilensis. After feeding on the berries, this species defecates on the cactus, where the seeds then germinate and grow into the cactus tissue, later producing flowers and more fruits (5).
The Chilean mockingbird is also occasionally the victim of parasitism. The shiny cowbird, a brood parasite, lays its eggs in the Chilean mockingbird's nest (6), which are then unwittingly incubated and brooded by the Chilean mockingbird, often to the detriment of its own offspring (6) (7).
There are no major threats to the Chilean mockingbird at present (1).
With a relatively wide distribution and large population, specific conservation action is not currently required for the Chilean mockingbird (1).

Hi guys. I have a big hairy labradoodle, 85 lbs. He's black (I feel that's relevant because of the sun) and we get him groomed/shaved regularly, about every 3 months. He just got groomed and trimmed this week.
He's been running with us pretty regularly, at least twice per week (about 3 miles each time), for the last year. About 2 weeks ago we took him on a 5 mile run, his longest yet, and he did awesome. It was pretty cool on the morning we did our 5 mile run, and we left early (around 8 am). Later that week, I took him for 3 miles at noon (It was around 70 degrees, comfortable, very sunny) and he was dragging.
Any opinions or thoughts about increasing his runs? My husband and I are training for a half right now, only 3 running days per week. The time of day that we're able to run depends on my son's napping schedule. I want to keep building him up, his vet said his breed should handle long slow distance well with proper training. I feel like he can handle the distance, but not the sun/heat.
We're scheduled to run 7 miles tomorrow, and I'm debating if he should stay home for this one. We're planning on getting out early (around 7-8 am). I know he loves running with us, but I don't want to hurt him!
Upcoming races:
Lucky Laces 10K 3/15
Colfax Marathon 5/17
awe, how very cool.....
hey- maybe take a loop that he can handle and enjoy, then drop the guy off, and continue.
I don;t know much about this, but I think it's ubber cool that you pay attention and care.
good job!

50 Miler 2014, 100 Miler 2015 - Smilers are Finishers!!
I used to let a buddy's Black Lab run along with me on a dirt road on his property. It was without a leash, she could stop anytime she wanted. She was only good for about 3 miles in the summer heat before she'd quit and just wait for me to get back.
I never knew if she was too tired to go on or she just thought, "This guy is the worst tracker ever."
Run at night. Sun problem solved.
Even though we think of certain dog breeds having tons more energy than us humans, you do still have to build up their miles just like you did. If he is regularly running 3 miles, the 5 miles was probably a bit of a stretch for him and I think 7 would be pushing it. As he is used to 3 miles. if you could take him on some 4-5 mile runs for a few weeks and then head for the 6-7 mile range,...etc, just like you did when building mileage. Of course, consistency in his running with you will benefit him also.
As summer approaches, definitely be careful with the paws on asphalt or concrete once the sun is out and shining bright.
I've been doing some research on running with dogs, mainly because the reason I got Smokey (80 pound Catahoula) was to have him run with me. I suggest a couple of things
1: research your dogs breed to see how far they can run--and if they're 'fast' or not. RW had an article on running with dogs (I think) in Sept ('09 or '10). Some dogs can run fast, but not far, some are the opposite. Not all dogs can go over 10 miles--some do it with no problem. I also did research with the mag Dog World (magazine recommended by my vet for athletic dogs)
2. How hot was it? I don't run Smokey if its over 80 degrees--some dogs take the heat with no problem (again, this means research your dog's breed to see what he can handle)
3: Did you take him from a 3 mile run one day to 5 another? Dogs need to build up gradually.
4: and maybe this should be #1--did you feed him right before he went for a run? Dogs can get 'bloat' and this can be fatal for dogs. He should wait an hour in between running and eating. A biscuit after a run is OK, but a meal right before is not.
Ditto on the pavement hurting your dog's paws. I have PawBalm for Smokey's paws--a big help, but I notice he runs mostly in the gutter (lighter colored cement) and on the inner bike lane line.
My dog runs with me on most of my runs. The longest she did last year was 12 miles but that was towards the end of the season. Your pooch should be fine on 7 but building millage slowly helps too. Consider water too. Most of my runs have water at least every couple of miles so I do not have to bring any for her.
Have Fun
Easy, Light, Smooth, and Fast
Damn, from the tag line I thought you were training with Dog the Bounty Hunter. I've had two dogs, neither was a good running partner. A Pekingese that was good until the end of the block then needed to be carried home and a Siberian Husky that was fully capable of dragging me down the street. Good advice here, doggies need to build a running base just like people even if they are a working breed. I would go a bit easy on him as far as stepping up miles just in case anything bad happened and you're five miles from home with a sick puppy.
I love running with my dogs. One strategy I use on hot days is soaking them down with the garden hose before we take off. Along the course is a golf course maintenance shack (I know the workers) and they let me re-soak the dogs if it's really hot. It works really good. They are dry in a couple miles. But they are also short haired dogs. It might work even better for a longer haired dog.
Next Marathon: Eisenhower Marathon, Abilene, Ks. 4/09/16
I run with my Boxer (see the pic at left) all the time, and she's done up to 10 miles with me (I got lost on a 7 mile run) with no real problem. I built up distance with her gradually, and I constantly monitor her and give her water. I have a collapsible dog bowl that I carry for longer runs (6+ miles usually) to give her some of my water, and we'll walk if I see her dragging or take a couple of funky steps. I live in Hawaii so it's ALWAYS above 75 degrees, it's all about acclimatization.
One thing you need to make sure of is to check the dog's paws, especially if you run on gravel or gravelly roads or trails. Sometimes the sharp rocks can cut the pads and make for a painful trip home. Watch for limping or hopping steps rather than a smooth flowing gait.
Any time she sees me lacing up my running shoes she starts bouncing around all excited to run. It makes me excited to run too.

One more thing to be aware of. I run with my son's Weimaraner in south Florida. When running on pavement/sidewalks on sunny days it is possible to burn the bottoms of the dogs feet. Obviously, the longer the run, the greater the problem.
I try to avoid that mostly by directing Bella to run on the grass next to the road. She normally seems happier there, although if the grass is tall it sometimes slows her down (which makes me slow down, which is probably a good thing). At least I try to keep her off the pavement every so often, to give her paws a break from the hot, hard surface.
Good advice tho illinidave.
So this weekend we took Monster out for (planned) 4 miles, he wound up doing 5.5 miles with us. We left early, weather was around 55-60 degrees, nice and cool, cloudy. He didn't eat before hand, and we had his travel water dish with us. We ran to the park, he mostly stayed on grass. He did really well, slowed down about 0.5 mile from home. After about an hour of laying on the kitchen floor, he was bouncy and ready to play.
He has definitely built up his endurance. Used to be a 2.5 mile run would mellow him out for a whole day, now he's still got energy after a much longer run!
Also, I always check his paws, but he's really good about letting me know if he stepped on something. Every once in a while he'll get a prickly burr stuck between his paw pads, and he instantly stops walking or running and picks up that paw for me to get it out.
Thanks for the advice everyone! I think the key for a good run for him is leaving early when it's cool and cloudy.
Nice run! I always enjoy my runs with my furry running partner.
I run 5 days a week with our 9 month old aussie sheppard mix. Seemly unlimited amounts of energy except when the temps get above 75. Because I still consider her a puppy, we normally just do 2.5 to 3 miles and take walk breaks. I increase maybe .25 to .5 miles each run once every 2 weeks. if the temps are in the 80's I cut back to 2 miles max. I need to start carrying a water bottle for her, maybe we wouldn't need to cut the run on hot days.
She is crazy excited once she sees me putting on the running shoes. I think running is her favorite thing. It really helps to have a running buddy that is so motivated.
Other things to keep in mind (was lightly mentioned by another poster) is whether you run with dog on a leash or not. A dog can run itself into trouble to keep up with you (especially if on a leash or if your running non-stop). I never ran with my dog on a leash and instead we ran on familar trails where she was free to stop, start, run ahead where needed and could keep her own pace knowing where we were headed and going if she needed to rest.
The other question is whether your providing water on the run. Our regular loop had three watering holes (two where she could wade to cool down) and I ALWAYS stopped for her and made her go in, even on cool days.
Dogs CANNOT pant when they run/gallop so they won't cool down if they can't slow to a trot. If your running continuously and don't let them cool down it can be very detrimental.
Even MORE important to stop and let them cool/pant and drink on warmer runs.
Every dog is different. Our girl would grind down her toes to bloody pulps on pavement so we always kept her on trails as much as possible. Good luck, I miss runnign with my girl...alas she's a senior now and started limping over the winter following runs. Now she waits in the window for me.
be really careful about running with a puppy. You can damage his tendons if you run him before he fully develops. Ask a veterinary orthopedist (I did)--at first I tried waiting until he was done growing--but I later learned it wasn't enough. The larger the dog, the longer it takes for them to not only finish growing, but developing also. Instead of waiting for Smokey to finish growing, I wish I waited until he was done developing, He has had ACL issues because I started him running at one year.
To the OP: sounds like you found the perfect solution...
Ooligans: I hadn't even thought about not shaving around his paw pads. That's a good idea! I'll ask our groomer about it next time.
This time 1,000,000!! You should not be running with a dog that young! The bones of larger sized dogs don't close until they are 12-18 months!! You could do permanent damage to the joints!! Wow...
thank for your advice. perhaps I should add some additional facts.
Our's is a recue dog. When I first took her to the Vet after we adopted, the Vet believed the dog's age provided by the ARL was way off, The vet believed the dog was way older, perhaps by 3-4 months. so the dog could be over a year old. The vet believes the ARL guessed at the age since the dog is very small for the breed. even though it's an aussie shepherd mix it is easily half the size of normal aussie. This is our second aussie sheppard so yeas I would agree normally they are alot bigger.
I have discussed my plan to exercise the dog (including the running) with the Vet, and which was ok'd when I explained that I was planned to follow a galloway running style. We have a gymboss timer, when we started it was 15 seconds of a slow jog, and 60 seconds of walking, we have slowly progressed to a slow jog for 60 seconds, then walk for 60 seconds. Actually for the dog, it's not even a jog, but rather more like a fast walk. Our route is through the neigborhood, we stop often to greet other dogs, talk with neighbors, potty breaks, etc. She stays mostly to the grass as that is where she finds the good sticks she picks up.
I will certainly reconsider exercising with this beloved family member in this fashion.
Ya know…vets are really inconsistent on this. I've heard some say don't let dogs run until they're a year old. Some say two years old. We have two dogs now, one we got as a puppy…a rescue dog. When we had her at her initial vet visit I asked about that. The vet said within reason let the dog do whatever it wants to do (with regard to running). In other words, he explained if the dog will play fetch continually for 45 minutes then you can probably run it that long. I pretty much agree with that. Of course it depends on the breed too. It's not like anyone is keeping wolf and coyote pups from running and they seem to do OK.
Running since March 1976 -- Celebrating my 40th year of running.
"I run mostly to see things, to explore places I don't know. And the places I do know…, then I get a sense of the weather, the shifting light, the seasonal changes; it can be pleasurable even when you hurl yourself into the teeth of nature."
Edward Koren, Runner and Cartoonist, New Yorker magazine
When the going gets tough...sprinters quit.
There's no such thing as a "bad" run.
It's just that some are better than others.
The road belongs not to the swift, but to those who keep running.
There is a HUGE difference between exercise that a puppy CHOOSES to do, but with running we are talking about "forced" exercise. We are also talking about repetitive movement which may be the most damaging to the joints of a developing puppy. Especially the large breeds. A dog that loves its owner will continue to do something to make the owner happy even if he or she is in pain!
And badburrito, what you are doing with your Aussie makes total sense. It is much different then my impression when you said 5 days a week and 3 miles. Just please be careful. There will be plenty of time to run with her when her joints are closed....

Editorial Sampler: Immigration reform. Now.
How Utah can lead: Time to bring out the Utah Compact Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
The flow of votes in last week's presidential election showed a Utah in retrograde. Mitt Romney lost the nation but won a higher percentage of the vote here 73 percent than he did in any other state.
But as the other results of the election are considered, there is an area where Utah can provide some much-needed leadership. And that is the issue of immigration reform.
The Utah Compact, a statement of principles adopted by the state's political, civic, business and religious leaders two years ago this week, has outlined a humane, sensible path for the nation to address this issue. ...
Finally, the Latino vote is taken seriously Sacramento Bee Editorial
Elections do mean something. Tuesday's vote offered clarity on some key issues â from Obamacare to tax cuts for wealthier Americans to solving deficits with a combination of tax increases and spending cuts.
And the growing, one-sided 71 percent vote among Latinos for the president already has shifted the discussion on the nation's broken immigration policy. ...
Latino voters turn the tide Santa Fe New Mexican Editorial
... It's a matter of respect, of tone and of Republicans not sending the message that an ethnic America is somehow less real than the majority Anglo America they enshrine in memory. As (Sen.

A chance for immigration reform San Francisco Chronicle Editorial
The country is now in the midst of one of the all-time political backpedals, a reversal that's overdue and worth examining. It's about immigration, which Republicans turned into a no-go issue that ended up playing heavily in Mitt Romney's defeat. ...

Republicans in Congress can't afford to ignore political reality after the stinging rebuke they received from Hispanic voters. ...
The Political Inevitability of Immigration Reform Bloomberg View Editorial
... Republicans have two options. They can join the White House in shaping immigration reform, all the while knowing that the president will get the lion's share of credit.

Cricketer's night out ends on sour noteComment on this story
Durban - Just hours after parading the Ram Slam T20 Challenge trophy at Kings Park at half-time on Saturday, Dolphins batsman Cameron Delport, 24, was held up at gunpoint near the Stables in Jacko Jackson Drive.
Delport had gone to the Berea Rovers clubhouse after the Sharks match to celebrate, after receiving a rousing reception with his team upon parading the franchise's first silverware since 2006.
They were going back to his girlfriend Jade Upton's car just after 1am when their special evening turned sour. Upton, 24, and her cousin Bianca Felix, 22 were walking to the car with Delport when they heard a noise and a man jumped out of the bushes. Thinking it was a car guard, Delport turned and started talking to him, reaching for a tip.
Another robber then appeared out of an abandoned container nearby and pointed a gun at them.
"They started going through the girls' purses and my bag with my travelling kit from the half-time parade, looking for money. We eventually just threw it all on the floor and told them to take everything," he said.
"Then they picked up the bags and casually sauntered off, leaving the car behind. When we were driving away we saw them walking down the railway track, not in a hurry or anything," said Delport.
Delport's teammate, David Miller, said: "We were so thrilled by the crowd's response to our game, it was a shock to find out what happened after such a wonderful evening."
Delport said they went back to the scene on Sunday, to see if some of their things had been discarded in the bushes.
There was nothing there but they noticed the gate to the railway track had been vandalised. They were also able to track Upton's iPhone to Greyville before its battery died.
Sharks chief executive John Smit said he was unaware of the incident.
"If it had happened inside the stadium, I would have been informed," he said.
The police were contacted for comment but were not aware of the case.
