The Iowa City Police Department Special Response Team and Crisis Negotiations Team responded to an incident early Sunday morning in Iowa City.
According to a news release, Iowa City police responded to a report of a male displaying a handgun and making a threat from a vehicle as it drove by a residence on Davis Street at 2:35 a.m. Sunday. When police located the vehicle, the driver fled on foot.
Officers later determined that the suspect had entered the residence at 2017 Taylor Drive.
The SRT and CNT responded to the scene at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the release. A 24-year-old female occupant of the residence exited at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.
After attempts to make contact with the suspect were unsuccessful, the SRT entered the residence at 10:30 a.m. and found 21-year-old Torian Topaz Cleggette hiding in the attic, according to the release.
Cleggette was arrested on an existing warrant for possession of a controlled substance and keeping or permitting use in a structure or vehicle.
The initial incident remains under investigation and additional charges are possible.

ULM's Colby Harper (13) attempts to break a tackle during a scrimmage on Saturday.
- Filed Under
Saturday's scrimmage for ULM focused mostly on evaluation of non-starters and how they can benefit the team this upcoming season.
The first play of the night, however, came from a late addition that made most people say - who is that?
Junior college transfer and sophomore Shakeem Jefferson returned the opening kickoff about 85 yards for a touchdown and ignited the sidelines for the majority of the night. ...

PAY HEED TO THESE, Mumbai
10 Reviews
10 Reviews
1. Mumbai is not Goa/Kerela, And hence its always appropriate to dress modestly.
2. Mumbai beaches are not for Sunbathing and you will see women bathing in Water fully covered. Secondly its not as safe as Goa beaches where the shackowners take care of the security of women .So Bikinis is out of Question, Not even a swimsuit. Mostly beaches are dominated by groups of men who come here to take a dip after getting heavily intoxicated On Sundays and Vacations. So Women Travellers are hereby advised to be cautious in order to avoided being mobbed and molested. As most of the Indian males are not used to see too much of flesh, they go Berserk.
3. Avoid Isolated spots as the chances of getting harassed is high. There are many beautiful picnic spots but never be temped to go there either alone or a couple as these places are also dominated by Intoxicated men and if you find yourself being mobbed. MAY GOD HELP YOU. Go with a police protection and that too with an armed policemen if you want to enjoy these beautiful picnic spots.
4. During New-Year Day celebrations, NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE of venturing out when huge crowds of men (Mostly from Slums) come over at popular spots after heavy Intoxiction the chances of getting mobbed & molested is very high and you will be easily out numbered. Its always safe to remain indoors. In Hotels where youre staying or At family parties.
BOTTONLINE: Mumbai is a safe place during daytime, but at night BE CAUTIOUS.
Do not look through a telescope at the Sun and Mercury Transit without protective and safe solar filters!!! You may lose your eyesight permanently and not even feel the pain!!! See my picture of the Mercury transit of 7th May 2003 taken through a 150mm dia / 1500mm F/L telescope and Pentax camera. Get prepared for a much bigger event in June next year when the planet Venus will transit the Sun's disk and it will be visible to the naked eye!!!
when you are in the south bombay area, like fountain, colaba, fort, vt donot walk around in the lonely dark streets. it is not advicable.
also remember when someone offers you girls, like hookers etc. donot accept them, they might take you to a lonely place and can rob you.
beware! please coz i dont want any foreigners to have an opinion about my city with a wrong vibe.
Not related to mosquitoes, but extremely annoying is the problem of bed bugs. This is not a widespread a problem as one would suspect in cities like Mumbai, considering the look of many low-end hotel rooms, perhaps because many such hotels anticipate the problem and spray rooms and beds regularly. Most hotels will let you have a look at the room before you check in. Look in the cracks on the bed or under the mattress for dead bugs. If you find your room does have bed bugs, move immediately to another hotel.
This aint a joke, the police rape women at night. It doesnt matter if you are accompanied with a male companion, they will put that guy behind bars and charge both of you with indecency in public.
So avoid moving around at nights, around Gateway of India alone or otherwise.
Here are the list of things/activities not to be done while in Mumbai:
Never Travel anywhere without change.
Avoid giving beggars anything. Those are the richest guyz in the town. :) http://www.scoopwhoop.com/humor/rich-beggars/
Avoid Bengali Babas, they are thugs.
Beware of thefts around Mahalaxmi Temple or any other crowded places.
Avoid staying in areas like Kurla, Byculla and Mahim.
Never argue with Locals or cab drivers/auto drivers.
watch out for the following:
1. men who offer you help in finding hotels or restaurants. they are touts hired by hotels to bring in customers. best way to find restaurants is to ask the tourist desk in the railway station or airport.
2. beggars. there are too many for you to help. so please don't encourage them.
3. ladies travelling alone at night. not advised at all.
4. please ask for the tariff card in autorickshaws and taxis. they inform you as to the amount to pay. the meter indication is not the amount to be paid.
5. do not travel in local trains at peak hours. it is way to crowded and unpleasant.
6. short skirts and women in shorts and sleeveless t-shirts are not tolerated in many temples.
7. do not try to find drugs or marijuana in the city. they are illegal and may bring you unpleasant company (the police).
You may find some locals even laughing or smiling at you. Dont get annoyed. They don't mean to be rude even though you may feel that way. They are either just surprised seeing someone with a different skin color or maybe find it amusing to see a foreigner wearing an Indian outfit. This usually occurs when you roam around the slums/shanty town areas and other poor localities where the level of education among the locals is very low.
Staring is okay - Staring at strangers is a Western cultural taboo that does not carry the same weight here. Many people feel quite free to stare at anything, or anyone, different. Most Western visitors, at some point in their time here, will experience intense, and disconcerting, staring. Interpreting this as rudeness is unproductive. What you look like, what you do, and how you behave will generate intense interest. Don't get angry or try to "educate" people on the idea that staring is rude. It will only increase curiosity, and frustrate you. Relax. Let people look. After all, you are doing your own exploration of the people and places here. What you are reacting to is not so much the staring, but your cultural interpretation of the action.
Yep, I fell for it ! A street vendor came up to me at the Gateway of India brandishing a large (4ft long ?) balloon and offering packs of balloons for sale at INR200. Thinking my young son would love a great big balloon to hit me with, I started haggling with the vendor and got him down to INR100. Of course, when I opened the pack later, the balloons inside were more like 4 inches long !!! Silly me, usually so streetwise, to fall for one of the oldest tricks in the book...
It's better to stay away from beggars at railway stations & other crowded places, as they tend to flock around you if you help even one of them.
The autorickshawallahs, and cabbies too are smart enough to rip you off on the roads. Check the meter reading and the fare list (keep a copy with yourself).

Thursday, January 20, 2011
So I had my physical with my doc today. Getting some blood work done to make sure my cardiac risks are low. My Dad has been having heart problems and I had read an article in "Health" magazine about what your pregnancies can say about your future health. Well, according to them, three things that I had during at least one pregnancy greatly increase my chances of developing heart disease. I had preeclampsia with both pregnancies, delivered my daughter at 36 weeks, and my daughter was 5 pounds at birth, all of which, according to the magazine increase my risk of heart disease. My doctor reassured me that the real risk factors are blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, weight, and cholesterol. Four of those factors we know already (although my weight really should be lower!) but he said with a family history he would recommend testing starting at 35 but he was willing to order the tests now. So tonight I'll be fasting after 8 pm and tomorrow morning I will go get my labs dawn. He is running a cardiac profile, thyroid, iron, and cholesterol. My periods have also become much heavier so he suggested starting iron supplements proactively and that is why he is running the thyroid (my mom has thyroid disease) and iron levels as well. I am sure that everything will come back fine but it will also be nice to have a baseline! I am also going to be decreasing my meds, which I have been on for nerve pain. The medication also has a side effect of weight gain so I am hoping that this will help me on my journey as well!

I think it is a great idea to have the tests regularly and starting young to help from worrying too much! I lost both my parents to Cancer when they were in their 60's so I know it and being way to heavy increase my chances of having Cancer.
Last test were good, so I feel better about knowing this and will test regularly.

Marc Platt (writer)
|Marc Platt
|1953 (age 61–62)
Marc Platt (born 1953) is a British writer. He is most known for his work with the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.
After studying catering at a technical college, Platt worked first for Trust House Forte, and then in administration for the BBC. He wrote the Doctor Who serial Ghost Light based on two proposals, one of which later became the novel Lungbarrow. That novel was greatly anticipated by fans as it was the culmination of the so-called "Cartmel Masterplan", revealing details of the Doctor's background and family.
After the original series' cancellation Platt wrote the script for the audio Doctor Who drama Spare Parts. The script was the inspiration for the 2006 Doctor Who television story "Rise of the Cybermen"/"The Age of Steel", for which Platt received a screen credit and a fee.
He lives in London.

2003 Nissan Frontier • 150,000 miles
I have the correct power at my fuse, but no power going to the switch or the motor. It does have intermittent wipers, but no relay or amplifier could be found. Problem occured all of a sudden, turned truck off and wipets didnt park. I know frontiers are notorious for the arm stripping off the threads but this is not the case here. Very frustrated, middle of winter, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
January 22, 2012.
January 22, 2012.
The switch controls the ground side of the motor not power side. So there wont be power to the wiper switch. See if the blue wire with a yellow tracer to the motor has power with the key in the on position. The wiper is completly inop?
Jan 23, 2012.
Jan 23, 2012.
Totally inop. No power to the motor whatsoever. Checked power at fuse and traced power wire from fuse to the engine compartment and did not find any breaks in wire. Traced it to where it goes around the radiator and stopped there. Manual says it goes straight from fuse to wiper motor to windshild washer motor. Even tried to power up motor with a jumper wire. Still nothing
Jan 23, 2012.
Jan 23, 2012.
The wire I told you has constant power to the wiper motor with the key in the on position. You are correct the wire goes from the fuse straight to the wiper. You need to fix that problem first.

Tiger Pride Day!
GSA representatives attended the 16th Annual Student Government Tiger Pride Day in Annapolis on February 24, 2015.

Gap narrows between iPhone, Android devices
Apple's new iPhone 4S helped the company close the gap with devices that use Google's Android software in the U.S., research firm Nielsen said Wednesday.
About 45 percent of U.S. shoppers who bought a smartphone in the last three months of 2011 said they purchased an iPhone, up from 25 percent in a study done two months earlier, the Nielsen report said. Android phones were selected by 47 percent of buyers, down from 62 percent.
The introduction of the latest version of Apple's phone — the iPhone 4S — in October helped Cupertino-based Apple's sales pick up pace, Nielsen said. When rolling out the new model, Apple also cut the price of an earlier model to zero, when purchased with a contract.
As of December, 46 percent of U.S. mobile-phone users had smartphones, with sales of such more-advanced devices outpacing cheaper, traditional handsets. Android devices accounted for 46 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, followed by the iPhone at 30 percent and Research In Motion's BlackBerry at 15 percent, according to New York-based Nielsen.
Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone carrier, said this month it sold 4.2 million iPhones last quarter, more than doubling from the third quarter. Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, last week raised his global iPhone sales estimate for the December quarter to 30 million units, up from a previous projection of 26 million.
Apple might introduce an iPhone 5 in the quarter ending in June, Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty said last week. The company may use new touch-panel technology for an iPhone 5 with a thinner body than previous models, Huberty said.
The company is also considering new casing materials for the iPhone, its best-selling product, according to Huberty, who has an "overweight" rating on Apple.
The new iPhone may use San Diego-based Qualcomm's quad-mode chip with the capability to run on all 3G and long-term evolution networks, Huberty said.

Jeff Wickersheim, right, and Jeremy Dorgan of Holster Construction prepare a room at the Marathon County Public Library in Wausau for installation of a saltwater aquarium.
- Filed Under
Construction began this week at the Marathon County Public Library in preparation for the massive saltwater aquarium the library will install in the children's section.
The room is in more of a "deconstruction" phase right now, Library Assistant Amy Ryan said Wednesday. Windows in a wall of the children's story room have been removed to make way for the 650-gallon aquarium and its cover.
Ryan expects minimal disruption to all of the library's regularly scheduled children's programs, such as children's story time, which will be moved to the "tween scene" section of the building. ...

A student was injured Thursday at Corona del Mar High School when a campus food fight erupted as part of a senior prank, school officials said.
Newport-Mesa Unified School District spokeswoman Laura Boss said the student, an eighth-grade girl whose name wasn't released, was walking in a hallway when she was accidently knocked down by a group of stampeding students. The girl suffered a bump on the head and was taken to the hospital by her parents, Boss said.
The student was conscious and talking after the incident, but the extent of her head injury wasn't known, Boss said.
School administrators had heard rumors of a possible senior prank on Thursday, so as a precaution, break periods were delayed for students in grades seven through 11, Boss said. Corona del Mar High has a middle school on its campus.
The food fight sparked during a break period at 10 a.m. when seniors started hurling condiments, cakes, muffins and other foods, students said.
"It was like a food battle zone," said sophomore Anthony Segovia, who watched the chaos from his classroom window.
"There was ketchup everywhere and some people even brought cakes to throw," sophomore Madison Baylock said. "Seniors were walking around with frosting in their hair. One girl got caramel sauce all in her hair."
Boss said administrators got the incident under control, but the food frenzy resumed when younger students were let out of class to head to their next period. The excited students began running around and throwing food that was on the ground, she said.
Ninth-grader Tiffany Ginger said the food fight seemed harmless since students were throwing soft items, like cake and ketchup.
"It got a little scary when people started running," she said. "People were getting knocked around in the hallways."
Boss said there was no damage to school property, but the prank did cause a major mess. Principal Tim Bryan gave a stern lecture to seniors after the incident, she said.
"We've had pranks over the years, and sadly in this one someone got hurt," she said. "We hope this can serve as a reminder to our seniors that pranks are not acceptable behavior."

WASHINGTON. D.C. - Bassett Furniture is recalling about 90,000 Bassettbaby drop-side cribs. The cribs' drop-side rail can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to detach from the crib. When a drop-side rail partially detaches, it creates a space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. An infant or toddler's body can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation. A child also can fall out of the crib.
Bassett is aware of 18 incidents in which the drop-side malfunctioned or detached. In one incident, a child became trapped between the mattress and the drop-side. In three incidents, children fell out of the cribs. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled cribs have been sold nationwide since January of 2000.
If you have one of these cribs, you should stop using it immediately and contact Bassett for a free repair kit. In the meantime, parents are urged to find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age.

Your virtual farm is simply the online version of your farm. It's how people "visit" your farm via your website, and other websites you're on.
These days, most people do their initial research online and is where they will likely get their first impression of you. So your virtual farm should be as polished and presentable as your physical farm.
If you don't have a website or it's outdated, it will be a big turnoff to visitors. And with many other farms just a click away, it's very easy to lose customers to someone else who looks better and has more to offer.
With an Openherd membership plan, you will be able to easily establish a professional, appealing web presence for your farm and maximize your online exposure.
Openherd plans offer a complete farm website (i.e. www.myfarm.com), which includes hosting, email, and support, an upgraded Openherd profile and premium exposure on Openherd.com, and a full presence on any alpaca association websites you're a member of that participate in Openherd's Affiliate Program.
The best part is that all of these online presences are managed in one place using Openherd's easy editing system, allowing you to market your farm on multiple websites without big time and cost overheads.

In his comprehensive introduction to Faulkner's authorship, William Faulkner: Seeing Through the South, John T. Matthews argues that though the author was in many ways a provincial Mississippian who wrestled with the South's troubled past, he was also a cosmopolite and modern writer who dedicated himself to exploring the profound global, national, and regional shifts of his time. Through careful close reading of each of Faulkner's nineteen novels, as well as much of his lesser-known short fiction, Matthews reveals how Faulkner's art consistently "asks how individuals process the massive upheavals associated with modernity, and how their varying reactions tell us about their distinct characters, backgrounds, and futures" (20). Over five lengthy chapters, in which he largely follows the chronological trajectory of Faulkner's works, Matthews deftly and often brilliantly draws out the specific ways each of Faulkner's texts responds both aesthetically and thematically to pressing historical contingencies. In addition, Matthews is also interested in drawing out Faulkner's biography as it is related to his work. To that end, he examines Faulkner's time spent working as a Hollywood screenwriter, his affair with Meta Carpenter Wilde, and his marriage and life with Estelle Oldham Faulkner. The cumulative effect of the blending of history [End Page 139] and Faulkner's biography is a fresh and utterly relevant reading of Faulkner's oeuvre, one that encourages readers to examine his life and work in ever more complicated ways.
Matthews begins by investigating Faulkner's ambivalent response to the modernization of his region and the nation as a whole in the several years following World War I. For example, Faulkner's Pylon (1935), a novel about indigent barnstormers, "signals its allegiance to an exuberant modernism" by highlighting the advent of machine technology, mass production, and the development of mass culture through a distinctly modernist style (65). Yet despite Faulkner's eagerness to capture "modernity's capacity to surprise, delight, liberate, and lift," he also emphasizes the destructive capacity of technology by focusing on the "misery that comes directly from the new deadliness of the machine age" (65–66). Figures such as Horace Benbow in Sanctuary (1931) and Quentin Compson in The Sound and the Fury (1929) are identified as representing Faulkner's "exploration of the refusal to accept modernity" (47). For Matthews, these characters gave Faulkner the room to investigate his anxieties regarding the renewed forms of sexual, racial, and class exploitation precipitated in modernity, as well as what he perceived to be a coarsening of culture due to accelerations in entertainment technologies.
In extended critiques of Faulkner's plantation novels, Matthews analyzes in his second and fourth chapters the ways in which these works isolate the origins of the Southern plantation system "in the earliest violations of the New World by European settlers, whether in North America or the West Indies" (3). According to Matthews, Faulkner's purpose here is twofold. On the one hand, in his early plantation fiction—in novels such as Sartoris (1929) and The Sound and the Fury—Faulkner hoped to catalogue the demise of the Southern planter elite who had been made increasingly obsolete by modernization. Yet on the other, in later novels such as Absalom, Absalom! (1936) and Go Down, Moses (1942), Faulkner wanted to chronicle the ways in which his region had been produced out of and sustained by New World colonialism, and in so doing attend not only to the experiences of those who profited from the system, but those who were exploited by it. Faulkner accomplished this by narrativizing the lives of African chattel slaves and their ancestors, native peoples, and women—though Matthews is careful to note that these representations were often fraught with Faulkner's own misperceptions about them.
Finally, Matthews's third and fifth chapters are both interested in fleshing out Faulkner's investigation of the economic impacts of modernization. In novels such as The Hamlet (1940), for example, the Snopes family clambers from the depths of rural poverty at the same moment old Southern families like the Compsons find themselves on the skids—as a result, "the Snopeses come to represent Yoknapatawpha's major brand of modernity" (128). And despite the fact that the Bundren family in As I Lay Dying (1930) never manage to climb the socioeconomic ladder, they, too, are enticed by the rewards of modernity, as their sojourn to town to bury their wife and mother is coupled with the opportunity [End Page 140] to spend money and interact with new technologies: an abortifacient, a train, a new catalog, and false teeth. In Faulkner's late novels produced at the height of the Cold War, such as A Fable (1954), The Mansion (1959), and The Reivers (1962), he began to work through a new anxiety: his fears of the growing development of the military-industrial complex at the behest of unrestrained market capitalism. Matthews makes the compelling case that what Faulkner ascertains in his late fiction "is how intersecting spheres of power—economic, military-industrial, political, cultural—were consolidating to form a global class of owners of means" (271). Matthews argues that these novels herald postmodernity in concern and postmodernism in aesthetic, and, as a result, represent more fully the broad scope and span of Faulkner's literary career.
Matthews presents all of this to the reader in a refreshingly colloquial style—one character "hooks up" (59) with another, someone "freaks out" (35), and yet another is described as being "cool" (41). As such, Seeing Through the South will be an invaluable resource for teachers who may find themselves struggling to find ways to help their students conquer Faulkner-anxiety. In fact, Matthews makes a point of easing his readers into his study of Faulkner. After parsing a particularly difficult passage in the 1933 short story "There Was a Queen," Matthews urges readers to "relax" (17), and explains that he won't be subjecting them to obsessive, line-by-line interpretations of dense modernist prose. Rather, he explains, his goal is to establish that Faulkner's style is not "some resentful torture of the reader, but an audacious bid to write like no one ever wrote before" (17). When Matthews delves into aspects of literary theory—as he does when discussing Walter Benjamin's messianic time in A Fable, or Jacques Lacan's mirror stage in The Sound and the Fury—his explications are immediately approachable and digestible, capable of reminding those familiar with such theories of their efficacy, while easing those new to them into understanding. The same can be said for Matthews's close readings: both the established Faulknerian and the Faulkner neophyte will find them compelling, often surprising, and always relevant. With its emphasis on history, culture, and biography, and its attendance to issues of postcoloniality, globalization, and capitalism, scholars will find that Matthews's text is reflective of current critical trajectories in Faulkner studies, which have since the mid-1990s steadily moved away from the once-dominant critical modes of New Criticism and psychoanalysis. Given Matthews's dedication to read Faulkner beyond the South, reinforced by Faulkner's ability to "see through" his region's façade, the text's greatest contribution is its radical and important reading of Faulkner as a writer for our times.
