A news conference will be held Tuesday afternoon in regards to a teen missing for a month and a half.
Kara Nichols, 19, was last seen in Colorado Springs on October 9. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office, who will be leading Tuesday's news conference, has called her disappearance "suspicious."
Friends of Nichols have told 11 News that they are worried about her.
"I was very scared for her because to wake up and wonder where your friend is, and what they're going through," Rachel Buster told 11 News earlier this month. Along with Nichols' family, Buster has been among those leading the search, having passed out flyers in hopes of locating her friend.
Nichols' family will be attending Tuesday's news conference. In a statement from the Sheriff's Office regarding the news conference, the Sheriff's Office says "It is the hope of the Nichols family and that of the Sheriff's Office that highlighting this case will produce valuable information or investigative leads."

Love the new pups!! So cute! Here's Libby from todays walk. She is almost 3.5 months! She is getting much taller and leaner.
Libby's Mom, Meg
|The Following User Says Thank You to Libby Louise For This Useful Post:
Barneysgirl (01-10-2013)
I just love Libby so much! She looks elegant. And she looks SO much like Thelma Lou to me. Tall and lean. Can you measure her to see how tall she is?
I am not envying that snow in your picture one tiny bit. Our forecast is in the upper 60's and 70's for the next week. )))
Last night Thelma Lou was so good I thought something was wrong with her. I'm serious! Has anyone ever thought that? She was sitting on the mat in the kitchen not begging for anything, curled up by my feet when I sat down in the couch, didn't chew anything up all night. I thought certainly she was sick.
Today she is back to her old self. My 9yo is doing a course called "Manners Made Easy" and she chewed up the top of his workbook when he left it out. She's apparently not that interested in manners....
L, wife of a soldier, mom to 4 humans, 2 felines, and 1 adorable puppy
And it happened.
She came and asked me to take her out to potty.
Hubby took her out before PT this morning and put her in her pen to wait until I got up. I got up after an hour or so, gave her cuddles, did a little practice session with commands for green bean rewards, then sat down to do my Bible study. She played for a few minutes, then went to the door and I think she whined. While I was trying to decide if she actually whined, she came over to the sofa, sat down in front of it, whined loudly, then walked back towards the door. Took her out and she pooped!!
L, wife of a soldier, mom to 4 humans, 2 felines, and 1 adorable puppy
YAY Thelma Lou!!!! Awww so happy for you!
I will try to measure Libby today. Today, she learned how to jump up on the couch. And because she jumped up, my Boxer Laina thought it would be ok too, so I had 2 pups playing on my furniture.
With my pups it's 2 steps forward, 1 step back. LOL
Libby's Mom, Meg
awwww look how beautiful LL is! She is very elegant and dignified!
That is awesome about TL. I wish peaches made sound, she just stands there and stares me down. It takes me a few seconds to figure out what is going on, ha ha!
Puppy kindergarten class was hilarious! Peaches is such a nut that has to be front and center of everything. So the majority of the class was in chairs forming a circle. Mostly everyone was holding their pups or they were at their feet. Peaches played lots with her brother at first but then wanted to see what was going on. I told her to sit and she sat at the floor but she kept getting up to investigate. Then I said lay down so she laid down but she lays like a froggy all the time and she did a combat crawl to inch to the center of the circle. It was SO FUNNY. She kept doing it. Then the instructor took her dog to the middle and I pulled Peaches back. She was sitting there watching. The instructor was showing us sit with her dog. She said sit and suddenly Peaches lunged forward and sat right in front of the instructor and waited for the treat! Everyone kind of laughed and the instructor said, not you, silly.
Peaches is certainly a ham.
Park playtime
Reason 4,637 that I love North Carolina. Days in January like today, with short sleeves and sweet tea and park play dates.
We took a risk and took Thelma Lou to the playground a block from my house. We thought, since dogs aren't technically allowed on the playground, and we've never seen any there inside the fence, that it was probably a pretty safe place to play. We were the only ones there and didn't figure anyone would mind if we let our puppy have some play time. She LOVED it. There were swings and hills and bridges and tunnels, which kind of scared her, and a wooden maze and little things to jump over. It was the greatest 20 min of her life. I'll have to upload the photos separately because it still will only let me do one at a time, but I'll share a couple.
L, wife of a soldier, mom to 4 humans, 2 felines, and 1 adorable puppy
Just found this thread! My Monty was born October 7, 2012. He's doing fantastic. Basically potty trained and we are starting his obedience training with a friend of mind who has been training dogs since she was little. He's doing pretty good in my opinion. I just can't believe how BIG he's getting!! I mean, I know he would get big, I just didn't realize it would happen so fast! LOL!
This morning Dug discovered he can look out the low office window if he stands on his hind legs. Sometimes he resembles a wee bear, to me. I have pictures to share, but for some odd reason they won't upload on here today.

A man who won it big in the state lottery says he was targeted in a home invasion Wednesday night.
The home invasion in Craven County happened around 10:00 p.m. in the 1100 block of South West Craven Middle School Road.
Captain Joe Heckman says a woman in her 60's, her son and his girlfriend, along with two children were inside at the time.
The men wanted money, but the son, Kelvin Spears, chased them from the home. He says he wrestled the gun away from the first intruder, but then was hit in the head with brass knuckles from behind by a second man.
Heckman says the two got in their car, and Spears followed them into Lenoir County where he got a flat tire. The two men were then able to get away.
Spears says last month he won $70,000 in the lottery and that's why he thinks the men were there to rob him.
He says the two foster children inside the home slept through the whole ordeal.

http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/gascript...ubmitButton=GoWhereas, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, respectively, or to the people; and
Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and
Whereas, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and
Whereas, today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and
Whereas, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
Whereas, Section 4 of Article IV of the Constitution of the United States says, The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and the Ninth Amendment states that The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people; and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and
Whereas, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States; Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
SECTION 1. The North Carolina House of Representatives supports the States right to claim sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government or reserved to the people by the Constitution of the United States.
SECTION 2. The North Carolina House of Representatives urges the federal government, as the agent of the State, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of any constitutionally delegated powers.
SECTION 3. The North Carolina House of Representatives further urges that compulsory federal legislation which directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.
SECTION 4. The Principal Clerk shall transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and each member of the North Carolina Congressional Delegation.
SECTION 5. This resolution is effective upon adoption.

|Hayward, California

|San Jose, California
Kristine Tsuya "Kristi" Yamaguchi (born July 12, 1971)[1] is an American figure skater. She is the 1992 Olympic Champion in ladies' singles. Yamaguchi also won two World Figure Skating Championships in 1991 and 1992 and a U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 1992. She won one junior world title in 1988 and two national titles in 1989 and 1990 as a pairs skater with Rudy Galindo. In December 2005, she was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. Yamaguchi was a local commentator on figure skating for San Francisco TV station KNTV (NBC 11) during the 2006 Winter Olympics.[2] In 2008, Yamaguchi became the celebrity champion in the sixth season of Dancing with the Stars.
Early life
Kristi Yamaguchi was born in Hayward, California,[3] to Jim Yamaguchi, a dentist, and Carole (née Doi), a medical secretary. Yamaguchi is Yonsei (fourth-generation Nikkei).[4] Her paternal grandparents and maternal great-grandparents immigrated to the United States from Japan, originating from Wakayama Prefecture and Saga Prefecture.[5][6] Yamaguchi's grandparents were sent to an internment camp during World War II, where her mother was born.
Kristi and her siblings, Brett and Lori, grew up in Fremont, California. Yamaguchi attended Mission San Jose High School her junior and senior year where she graduated. While at Mission, Kristi's excellence in skating prompted a "Kristi Yamaguchi Day" on February 24, 1989. Mission held an assembly honoring her, where she was presented with an honorary varsity jacket.
Yamaguchi began skating and taking ballet lessons, as a child, as physical therapy for her club feet.
Pairs career
With Rudy Galindo she won the junior title at the U.S. championships in 1986. Two years later, Yamaguchi won the singles and, with Galindo, the pairs titles at the 1988 World Junior Championships; Galindo had won the 1987 World Junior Championship in singles. In 1989 Yamaguchi and Galindo won the senior pairs title at the U.S. Championships. They won the title again in 1990.
As a pairs team, Yamaguchi and Galindo were unusual in that they were both accomplished singles skaters, which allowed them to consistently perform difficult elements like side by side Triple Flip jumps, which are still more difficult than side by side jumps performed by current top international pairs teams. They also jumped and spun in opposite directions, Yamaguchi counter-clockwise, and Galindo clockwise, which gave them an unusual look on the ice. In 1990, Yamaguchi decided to focus solely on singles. Galindo went on to have a successful singles career as well, winning the 1996 U.S. championships and the 1996 World bronze medal.
Singles career
In 1991, Yamaguchi moved to Edmonton, Alberta, to train with coach Christy Ness. There, she took psychology courses at the University of Alberta.[7] The same year Yamaguchi placed second to Tonya Harding at the U.S. championships, her third consecutive silver medal at Nationals. The following month in Munich, Germany, Yamaguchi won the 1991 World Championships. That year the American ladies team, consisting of Yamaguchi, Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, became the only national ladies team to have its members place first, second and third at Worlds. In 1992, Yamaguchi won her first U.S. title and gained a spot to the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. Joining her on the U.S. team were again Kerrigan and Harding. While competitors Harding and Japan's Midori Ito were consistently landing the difficult triple axel jump in competition, Yamaguchi instead focused on her artistry and her triple-triple combinations in hopes of becoming a more well-rounded skater. Both Harding and Ito fell on their triple axels at the Olympics (though Ito successfully landed the jump later on in her long program after missing it the first time), allowing Yamaguchi to win the gold, despite errors in her free program, including putting a hand to the ice on a triple loop and a double salchow instead of a planned triple. Yamaguchi went on to successfully defend her World title that same year.
Professional and personal life
Kristi Yamaguchi turned professional after the 1992 competitive season. She toured for many years with Stars on Ice and also participated in the pro competition circuit.
Since July 8, 2000, she has been married to Bret Hedican, a retired professional hockey player she met at the 1992 Winter Olympics when he played for Team USA. Yamaguchi and Hedican reside in Northern California with their two daughters, Keara Kiyomi (born 2003) and Emma Yoshiko (born 2005).[8] Hedican is a TV sports analyst who covers the San Jose Sharks ice hockey team.
In 1996, Kristi established the Always Dream Foundation for children. The goal of the foundation is to provide funding for after school programs, computers, back-to-school clothes for underprivileged children, and summer camps for kids with disabilities. Commenting in 2009, she explained her inspiration for the project:
"I was inspired by the Make-A-Wish foundation to make a positive difference in children's lives. We've been helping out various children's organizations, which is rewarding. Our latest project is a playground designed so that kids of all abilities can play side by side. That's our focus now."[9]
Yamaguchi is the author of Always Dream, Pure Gold, and Figure Skating for Dummies. In 2011, she published a children's book, Dream Big, Little Pig,[10] which was #2 on the New York Times bestseller list; a portion of the proceeds went to the Always Dream Foundation to support early childhood literacy programs.[11] A sequel, It's a Big World Little Pig,[12] is scheduled to be published March 6, 2012.[13]
Yamaguchi made a fitness video with the California Raisins in 1993 called "Hip to be Fit: The California Raisins and Kristi Yamaguchi". As an actress, she appeared in the PBS series Freedom: A History of Us portraying Haruko Obata, one of the first teachers of ikebana in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has appeared as herself on Everybody Loves Raymond and in D2: The Mighty Ducks, Frosted Pink, and the Disney Channel original movie Go Figure. Yamaguchi has also performed in numerous television skating specials, including the Disney special Aladdin on Ice, in which she played Princess Jasmine.
In 2006 Yamaguchi was the host of WE tv Series Skating's Next Star, created and produced by Major League Figure Skating.
Kristi Yamaguchi received the Inspiration Award at the 2008 Asian Excellence Awards. Two days after her Dancing with the Stars champion crowning, she received the 2008 Sonja Henie Award from the Professional Skaters Association. Among her other awards are the Thurman Munson Award, Women's Sports Foundation Flo Hyman Award, and the Great Sports Legends Award. She is also a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee Olympic Hall of Fame, World Skating Hall of Fame, and the US Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
In 2010 Yamaguchi worked as a daily NBC Olympics skating broadcast analyst on NBC's Universal Sports Network.
Research done in 2010 by Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. for the PBS series Faces of America showed that Yamaguchi's heritage can be traced back to Wakayama and Saga prefectures in Japan and that her paternal grandfather, Tatsuichi Yamaguchi, immigrated to Hawaii in 1899.[14]
For the 2012 U.S. presidential election, she appears in a Restore Our Future ad touting the organizational credentials of Republican Mitt Romney in relation to his involvement with the 2002 Winter Olympics.[15][16]

How to pick up trash and criminals were both up for debate at Greenville's city council meeting Monday night.
The automated trash collection plan was approved by council. That means they'll eventually switch to using automated trucks over the next five-years, which will mean fewer workers will be needed.
Councilmember Marion Blackburn says the city is losing $1-million under the current plan and needed to make a change.
The city will now have to address concerns that some workers could lose their jobs.
The Greenville Police department's strategic plan to reduce crime over the next 3-years was also on the agenda
Chief Hassan Aden says, "It covers 3 years, many facets, but we are accountable to it, and we will report back each year to see where we are."
Chief Aden says the goals of the plan, will bring major improvements to Greenville. "Leadership and ethics, there are specific crime reduction goals, there are community engagement goals, there's technology. Everything we need to deliver the product."
Chief Aden says he hopes to reduce crime by 3-percent by the end of 2014.

Dr. Alexander Norris- Trumpet
Adam Corson- Saxophone
Christian Hizon- Trombone
Kevin Clark- Guitar
Mark Meadows- Piano
Jon Guo- Bass
Byung Kang- Drums
Tickets: $10/$5 students
This ensemble, coached by Dr. Alexander Norris, is one of the Jazz ensembles in the Jazz studies curriculum at the Peabody Conservatory. Dr. Norris hand-picked the student members of this group, and has named it the Peabody Classic Modern Jazz Ensemble. This group emphasizes the study and performance of music from the great traditions of Bebop thru Post-bop; roughly spanning 1945-1975. This body of work, while still considered Modern Jazz, has become Classic within this spectrum, and is absolutely essential repertoire for young musicians embarking on a career in Jazz.
Alexander Norris grew up in Columbia, Md. where he began studying music at the age of 9. After graduating high school he received a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory to study trumpet. He graduated from the Conservatory in 1990. During this time, his interest in jazz grew, and he became quite active on the Baltimore/Washington D.C. jazz scene. While performing with artists such as Gary Thomas, Grachan Moncur III, and George Colligan, he also gained great experience sitting in with Gary Bartz, Dennis Chambers, Billy Hart, and the late Carter Jefferson.
In 1992, Norris moved to New York City. Here, he found work with the Mingus Big Band, the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi's Jazz Orchestra, and Maria Schneider's Band. From 1994-1998, Norris was a member of Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead, becoming musical director in 1998; the final year of Carter's life. Norris has also performed and recorded extensively in the bands of Lonnie Plaxico, Jason Lindner, and with Ralph Irizarry's Timbalaye.
Norris has worked with many noted jazz musicians such as Slide Hampton, Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Chris Potter, Stefon Harris, Sam Yahel, Carl Allen, Eric Alexander, John Patitucci, Peter Bernstein, The Woody Herman Orchestra, Avishai Cohen, and Brian Blade. Norris is very active in Afro-Cuban jazz, as well, having worked with Andy and Jerry González, Paquito DRivera, Hilton Ruiz, Giovanni Hildago, Poncho Sanchez, and Chico OFarril. Additionally, in the Pop/R&B world, Norris has toured and/or recorded with Incognito, US3, Philip Bailey, Steve Winwood, Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine, and Jon Secada.
In 1995, Norris received a master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music. He has served on the music faculties at the New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, Towson University, and the City College of New York.
In 2007, Norris received a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Miami Frost School of Music. From 2005-2007, Norris was lecturer in jazz trumpet at the University of Miami and was a visiting assistant professor there from 2007-2008.
Residing once again in New York City, Norris performs all over the world with his own jazz group and with the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni Big Band, Manny Oquendo's Libre, and many other jazz and Latin jazz groups. He performs regularly at the most prestigious jazz venues in New York, such as Smalls, Smoke, Birdland, and the Blue Note. Norris is an active clinician/guest artist, and has given clinics at the New World School for the Arts (Miami), Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, Brooklyn High School for the Arts, Cincinatti College-Conservatory of Music, the Eastman School of Music, and many other schools. Norris has recorded on over 60 CDs as a sideman and has a CD out as a leader: Alex Norris Quintet A New Beginning on the Fresh Sounds Label.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
The U.S. Secret Service said it intercepted a letter addressed to President Barack Obama that contained a "suspicious substance."
The letter to Wicker, a Republican, was intercepted at a Senate mail facility just outside Washington and has tested positive for ricin. Sen. Claire McCaskill has said authorities have a suspect in mind in that case, though no one has been charged.

The world's largest hamburger chain said U.S. sales declined 1 percent at locations open at least 14 months. The fast-food chain has been struggling to boost sales amid heightened competition and changing eating habits. Many of its core customers are also struggling financially, which has forced McDonald's to intensify its focus on value.
Executives at McDonald's (MCD) have also conceded that the chain introduced too many items too quickly last year, which led to slower service and inaccurate orders. CEO Don Thompson has said the company is working with franchisees to address those problems, in part by ensuring restaurants have appropriate staffing.
Overseas, a rebound in China after last year's worries about avian flu helped lift sales by 2.5 percent in its Asia, Middle East and Africa division. That in turn lifted global sales 0.9 percent for May.
In Europe, McDonald's largest market, the sales figure rose 0.4 percent, boosted by improvements in the United Kingdom and France. An expanded beverage business was among the factors behind the improvements.
McDonald's, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, has more than 35,000 locations around the world. Its shares were down 42 cents to $101.54 in afternoon trading Monday. The stock is up more than 5 percent so far this year.
Stories about McDonald's hamburgers that last years before rotting are frequently cited as evidence that fast food is loaded with preservatives. McDonald's USA offers another explanation. "The reason our food may appear not to decompose comes down to a matter of simple science. In order for decomposition to occur, you need certain conditions -– specifically moisture. Without sufficient moisture –- either in the food itself or the environment –- bacteria and mold may not grow and therefore, decomposition is unlikely. So if food is or becomes dry enough, it is unlikely to grow mold or bacteria or decompose. Food prepared at home that is left to dehydrate could see similar results. Look closely, the burgers you are seeing are likely dried out and dehydrated, and by no means 'the same as the day they were purchased.'" Keith Warriner, the program director at the University of Guelph's Department of Food Science and Quality Assurance, gives a lengthier explanation.1. Why doesn't McDonald's food rot?
The ingredients in cheddar cheese slices: Milk, cream, water, cheese culture, sodium citrate, and 2 percent or less of salt, citric acid, sodium phosphate, sorbic acid (preservative), lactic acid, acetic acid, enzymes, sodium pyrophosphate, natural flavor, color added and soy lecithin. "The major ingredient in our signature slices is natural cheese, so the plastic rumor is just a myth," says Nicole Thornton, a McDonald's crew member in Sydney, Australia, in a video. Other ingredients include milk solids, butter and emulsifiers, which improve the color and texture of processed foods. "If you are referring to the smoothness and flexibility of our cheese," she explains, "that is obtained by blending heated cheeses and other ingredients with emulsifiers and then dispensing it onto a smooth chilled surface, just like some of the processed cheeses you'll find in the supermarket."2. Is McDonald's cheese 1 percent away from being plastic?
3. Why do McDonald's chicken nuggets contain an anti-foaming agent?
"McDonald's frying oil contains a small amount of an additive called dimethlypolysiloxane, which helps prevent oil from foaming and spattering in our restaurants," McDonald's USA explains. Dimethylpolysiloxane is also used in some non-food products, such as putty, caulks and cosmetics. For that reason, "there have been individuals who have erroneously claimed that these items are also in our food," the company says, noting that scientific names for ingredients can "sound scary" even if they are safe and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"For example, the salt you use to de-ice a driveway is a variation of the salt you use in the kitchen, however they are both sodium chloride," the company writes. A McDonald's Canada video explains the process of making McNuggets.
This is one of the most commonly asked questions about McDonald's food in Australia, according to Jonathon Pitt, a McDonald's franchise owner in Queensland. "Absolutely, there is no pig fat in our soft serve -- or in our shakes, for that matter," Pitt says in a video on how the frozen yogurt is made. "The only animal products in our soft serve are the dairy ingredients themselves." That includes milk, cream and milk solids. Sugar is added for sweetness and emulsifiers are used to keep the mixture from separating. "Vegetable gums are also used to give it a thick, smooth texture," he says. "And finally, a little vanilla flavor is added."4. Is there pig fat in the soft serve?
McDonald's uses chicken thighs, breasts, tenders and skin for flavoring, according to McDonald's Canada.5. What parts of the chicken does McDonald's use?
6. Does McDonald's use "pink slime" in its burgers?
The company says it removed the substance from its meat three years ago. "Lean finely textured beef treated with ammonia, what some individuals call 'pink slime' or select lean beef trimmings, is not used in our burgers. Any recent reports that it is are false," McDonald's USA writes.
And what is "pink slime"? Lean beef trimmings -- what's left of the meat after all the choice cuts of beef are taken -- that are treated with ammonium hydroxide, creating the pink hue. Ammonium hydroxide kills bacteria, such as E. coli. The trimmings are banned from human consumption in the U.K., but the U.S. Department of Agriculture deems them safe for people to eat.
McDonald's french fries start with whole potatoes. Here are the ingredients: Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives], citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintains color), salt. They are prepared in vegetable oil (canola oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent.7. Are McDonald's french fries made from 100 percent potatoes?
"Once the potatoes are cut, we push the strips to a blancher to remove the natural sugars from the strips," Mario Dupuis, the production manager for McCain, a fries supplier for McDonald's Canada, says in a video. "This will prevent some variation in our color once we re-cook the product. Following the blanching process we add a a dextrose solution to have that nice even coat that we see in the restaurants. We also add an ingredient to our strips to make sure that we prevent the graying of our product throughout the process." Moisture is removed from the strips before they are fried, frozen and packaged for shipping.
None of McDonald's chicken in the U.S. contains added hormones, since federal law bans hormones in poultry. But the same can't be said for beef. "It is common U.S. cattle industry practice to use FDA-approved growth promotants, like naturally occurring or synthetic hormones, in animals being raised to produce beef," McDonald's USA writes. "McDonald's USA does not have any requirements beyond meeting all FDA regulations for use of growth promotants in cattle."8. Does McDonald's meat contain added hormones?
The company assumes at least some of its cattle spend time grazing before heading to a feed lot to be finished on grain. "Farming practices vary, but generally much of the cattle in the U.S., including the cattle we use for our beef, are grass fed for the first part of their lives," McDonald's USA writes. "When cattle enter feedlots in the latter part of their lives, they are provided a balanced diet that may include grains, grasses and mineral blends in their feed."9. Is McDonald's beef from grass-fed cows?
McDonald's uses forequarter and hindquarter trimmings, as well as whole muscle cuts in its beef patties. McDonald's Australia explains in more detail: "Beef trimmings are portions of meat remaining after the preparation of the whole muscle cuts. Forequarter refers to the front half of a side of beef and hindquarter refers to the rear half. Whole muscle cuts, or primals as they are referred to in the industry, are defined portions of a side [of] beef (or [carcass]). Forequarter primals include the blade, brisket, chuck, and spencer roll, amongst others, and the hindquarter includes primals such as the hind shank, silverside, thin flank and topside. The primals that may be included in our beef raw materials are usually from the forequarter, and typically include the chuck and the blade."10. What cuts of meet are used in McDonald's beef patties?
Most of the beef that McDonald's uses in U.S. restaurants is raised domestically, with a small percentage from Australia and New Zealand, the company says. All of the chicken served in McDonald's U.S. restaurants is raised domestically.11. Does McDonald's USA import beef from other countries?
McDonald's USA explains that the beef is ground, formed into patties and then flash-frozen. "Flash-freezing helps ensure the quality and flavor of our burgers when they are cooked in our restaurants," the company says.12. Are McDonald's burgers fresh or frozen?
13. How are McDonald's cheeseburgers made?
The beef patties are formed from ground beef in a factory, flash-frozen and sent to McDonald's restaurants. Before they are served, the patties are seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled for 40 seconds, according to a video from McDonald's Australia. They are held in a warming bin. "We keep our cooked burgers hot for a maximum of 15 minutes, but we're usually so busy that they don't stay in there for very long," Katie Geoghan, a McDonald's crew member from Melbourne, Australia, says in the video.
"Our eggs are not organic, nor are they free-range; they are from caged hens," McDonald's Australia writes. Caged hens produce the cheapest eggs, which helps keeps McDonald's prices low, the company says. "Our goal is to provide customers with great quality food at great value," the company's answer reads. "The cost of organic or free range eggs would raise the price of our food to a point that our customers may not feel they are receiving the value they've come to expect from us." In the U.S., however, McDonald's buys a "small amount" of cage-free eggs as part of a project on hen housing systems. "In the U.S., there is no consensus or firm scientific research on whether one type of housing system is better than the other, which leads to a lot of confusion," McDonald's USA adds.14. Are McDonald's eggs organic or free-range?
Some of the eggs are cooked fresh, while others are pre-made. The eggs used for the Egg McMuffin are all freshly cracked onto the grill in McDonald's restaurants, according to the company. The scrambled eggs and egg whites are also cooked in the restaurants, but they contain liquid eggs instead of freshly cracked eggs. The folded eggs and the egg that comes in McDonald's sausage burrito are made in factories, flash-frozen and sent to restaurants, where the dishes are warmed before being served.15. Are McDonald's eggs cooked fresh in the restaurant?
McDonald's Australia says eggs are held in a warming bin for no more than 20 minutes after cooking. "Like many restaurants, we prepare certain items beforehand, in order to serve our customers in a timely way," the company writes. "Our food is held at a food-safe holding temperature, in the case of eggs, 79°C, until needed for an order. However, we've become really good at anticipating peak times, and cook enough to meet demand. Your McMuffin is assembled only when you order it."16. How long are cooked eggs held in hot boxes after they are prepared?

Warchant.com & Osceola
It's official, Lee to start (By Gene Williams, Warchant.com)It was no surprise when head coach Bobby Bowden announced during the weekly booster luncheon that Xavier Lee would be the starting quarterback for this Saturday's NC State game. Last Saturday, the junior signal-caller sparked the offense to 21 second half points in leading FSU to a victory over the a previously ranked Alabama team.Prior to Lee's entrance early in the second quarter, the offense managed just three first downs, no points and 82 total yards. After he entered the game, the offense showed a little more spark and then really started clicking in the third quarter. As a result of the strong offensive showing in the second half, FSU recorded its biggest win of the season and Lee, and his teammates, finally have something to smile about."These last couple of days have been fun," Lee said. "It has been nice to put in some calls to back home and see how excited people are and to just look at my teammates and see how happy they are. It seems like somewhat the team is rejuvenated and I think as a team we are on the right path."A little over a year ago, Lee was in a similar position after a strong outing at Maryland in week eight. After filling in for an injured Drew Weatherford, he earned two more starts but didn't capitalize on the opportunity. After having a year to mature and grow, Lee anticipates and different outcome this time around."The difference is that I am more focused on the team and just focusing on each play and my role of getting the ball in everyone else's hands and watching them make plays and just being more of a vocal leader and just do what I can," he said. "Do my part to help us win." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Discovering Perl Audio ConverterSubmitted by chadm on Mon, 2006-09-25 22:31. audio | Blogs | pacpl
A while back I was looking for an easy way to manage my music collection. I wanted to keep high quality copies of my CD's so I figured a lossless codec like FLAC would be a good choice. The only problem was that not every device or computer supports FLAC. My solution was to keep the high quality FLAC recordings for my Linux systems, but convert to MP3 for everything else. It was in searching for an easy way to do this that I found Perl Audio Converter.
Perl Audio Converter is a great tool for converting audio files from one format to another. Need an obscure type? No problem. It supports MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Shorten, Monkey Audio, FAAC (AAC/M4A/MP4), Musepack (MPC), Wavpack (WV), OptimFrog (OFR/OFS), TTA, LPAC, Kexis (KXS), AIFF, AC3, Lossless Audio (LA), BONK, AU, SND, RAW, VOC, SMP, RealAudio (RA/RAM), WAV, and WMA. You can even use it to rip directly from a CD.
Online Storage with JungleDiskSubmitted by chadm on Wed, 2006-09-20 23:41. backup | Blogs
Most of us know we should backup our files, but even when we do it's usually not a fully thought out process and consists of dumping files to a CD/DVD or another hard drive in our homes. That's fine for most recovery situations, but what happens if you have a fire, flood, or your backup media also fails (this has happenned to me before).
Enter online storage. Amazon's S3™ service is an inexpensive way to store data online and JungleDisk makes it easy. At its heart JungleDisk is a WebDAV server that enables easy access to Amazon's servers. The beauty of it is that you can access the files easily through your existing file manager. No more clucky web interfaces or inability to use a favorite backup program.
iPod Audio, Photo, and Video Tools for LinuxSubmitted by chadm on Fri, 2006-09-15 15:11. Blogs | ipod
From the moment Apple first launched the iPod it has been a spectacular hit. First with a single audio only version, then adding other sizes, photo viewing, and video capability. Besides the iPod itself, iTunes software was a key component that made it easy to manage for Mac users. Eventually Windows support was added, but what about Linux?
iTunes still hasn't made it to Linux, and probably won't, however there are tools available for everything except the iTunes music store and support for DRM protected files. Tools for using an iPod with Linux can be broken up into four categories: file management, audio, photos, and video; although there is overlap between them.
Switching from Windows to Linux using VMware PlayerSubmitted by chadm on Fri, 2006-09-01 14:38. Blogs | virtualization | vmware | windows
If you didn't just recently start using a computer, chances are your first time using Linux comes after switching from Windows. For most people this involves two key challenges: getting used to a different windowing interface; and learning to use new applications. These days the first challenge is getting ever easier with the KDE and Gnome desktops continuing to improve and distros adding better hardware configuration tools. It's the second challenge, however, that still continues to confound many of us.
Years of training in Photoshop is hard to replace overnight, and even though programs like the GIMP are feature equivalent in the areas that most users will ever need, there might be that one feature that you can't live without.
Konqueror your Desktop with KIO SlavesSubmitted by chadm on Fri, 2006-08-25 16:18. Blogs | kioslaves | konqueror
KIO slaves are some of the most useful features of the KDE desktop, but many users aren't aware they exist. You probably use some of them know without even realizing it. A kioslave is a protocol that provides support for individual protocols that may provide access to files, web sites, and more. Below I will outline some of the most popular and most interesting kioslaves.
This listing is far from complete. The full list of KIO slaves installed on your system can be found by running KInfoCenter and checking the Protocols section.
Model Train Design with XTrkCadSubmitted by chadm on Sun, 2006-08-20 19:06. Blogs | cad | model trains
One cool program that caught my eye is XTrkCad. It won't appeal to everyone, but for any model train enthusiasts out there it might be just the thing you need to design your next track.
Drupal and Quanta: A Winning CombinationSubmitted by chadm on Wed, 2006-08-16 12:48. Blogs | cms | drupal | quanta | web
Any of you who subscribe to this blog's RSS feed will notice that there haven't been any new posts in a while. The reason is simple, and no doubt obvious when you look at the site that surrounds these words. I've been working on the new design since I realized that I could either add a lot of the features I wanted to manually, or I could switch to a Content Management System (CMS). When I first started Linux App Finder I didn't even know that CMS's even existed, but one of the benefits to creating a database of Linux applications is that I find some really interesting ones that I want to try out.
The original site design consisted entirely of custom HTML and PHP code written in Quanta. It worked well for a while, but I started to get frustrated about how much time it was taking to make a blog entry, post some news about the site, or add features like a site-wide login. I resisted the move at first because it would be a significant effort and I didn't want to rewrite everything that didn't fit in with the structure of what I already had. Fortunately I had run across Drupal in a few articles and had seen a lot of sites I liked that used it. After reading through their website a bit, I decided to give it a try. Before I continue I should state that I picked Drupal because what I saw of it appealed to me and it felt right. I never tried any of the alternatives so I can't give a direct comparison.
Run Command Line Apps From A GUISubmitted by chadm on Sun, 2006-07-02 01:00. apps | Blogs
I came across a neat program today called Kaptain. Its premise is simple, but it may be a solution for those who don't like the command line, or have trouble remembering the available switches, but don't know of a good graphical alternative.
Kaptain displays a graphical interface with radio or check boxes for available switches and text boxes for everything else. A brief sampling of the supported programs is listed below.
- find
- grep
- ls
- tar
- wget
- whois
A template script is needed in order for an app to be supported. There are many useful apps included by default, but you can also add your own. Documentation can be found here.
How Do You Find Apps?Submitted by chadm on Sun, 2006-06-18 01:00. apps | Blogs
I've been doing some thinking recently on how everyone searches for an app. So far I have identified the five primary methods that are listed below. Please drop by the forums and let everyone know how you do it. We'd love to hear from you and will use the comments to better tailor this site to meet your needs. Stories about what you have had a hard time finding on Linux App Finder would be great.
In the descriptions below I'll explain what I came up with and also state how Linux App Finder either supports it or some ways that are being considered.
My Search for a DVD RipperSubmitted by chadm on Tue, 2006-06-06 01:00. Blogs | dvd ripper
I'm currently in the process of writing a comparison of available DVD ripping programs for GNU/Linux. I picked the best contenders that I'm aware of and compared their features and ease of use. The goal was finding the best app for converting the main movie of a DVD to a single file playable on any computer and the winner is a surprising one (at least to me since I almost didn't include it). As a bonus I threw in a few apps targeted at creating DVD ISO's for burning back to a rewritable disk. Hopefully it will be ready to go within a week. Keep an eye on the News RSS feed for an announcement.

Here's the story:
The Hopi Indians invented Totolospi, a game of chance. The game is played with three cane dice, a counting board, and a counter for each player. Each cane die can land round side up (r) or flat side up (f).
The moves of the game are determined by tossing the three cane dice with these rules:

The children at Souri Child Development Center squeezed together under the thatched-roof shed, safe from the wind and rain. They eagerly anticipated the visit of the local political leader of the ruling party and a few other political leaders.
The political leaders were visiting the center to address the children with words of encouragement, as the local leader himself is from the same region. He had a vision to develop the area and uplift the future of its children.
Souri is a tribal village in eastern India surrounded by mountains and small creeks. It is very remote, with little development. The primary schools don't have teachers available on a regular basis, and the health-care center struggles to attract doctors from the city.
The native villagers are mostly illiterate, and engage in cultivation. Only a few have traveled outside of the colony in search of better jobs.
With so many struggles here, children who grow up in this community face a bleak future.
During his visit, the political leader walked through the community to reach the center, and he was saddened by what he saw: groups of children helping their parents in the field or just roaming aimlessly. But when he reached the Compassion-assisted child development center, he was heartened.
He and his party were greeted by little children who each had a piece of flower garland in their hand. As the party members walked around, they saw the thatched-roof shed with no covering on its sides, where children sat and sang songs.
Children were dressed in nice, clean uniforms, and they stood up to greet the guests in one voice: "Good afternoon, sir."
Talking with the children, the leaders were so impressed with Compassion's child development work through the center that they promised to give 150,000 rupees for the construction of a new building. Said the local leader:
"The state government has not done much to reach out to the needs of the poor people here . . . Giving a new building will not lead to the development of the children here, but it will definitely provide a proper shelter where children can build their dreams by exercising their talents without fear, when children find themselves in safe boundaries, their minds work well and it helps in their overall progress."
Before the child development center program was established, Souri village was completely undeveloped. Souri people would have many children so they could have may workers to help them in the fields and in the houshold. But they lacked knowledge how to instill in their chidren good moral values.
Children were left on their own as parents left home early daily to work and cultivate fields. Parents didn't understand the significance of sending their children to school, and children were often neglected.
Most families could not afford to send their children to school because of their small incomes and large families. Today, children registered at the center are the first generation of learners.
There was also a large spiritual void among the people of Souri village as they are workaholics. They did not think attending church or participating in church activities were important. They would find an excuse to work and to skip church on Sunday. They never used to pray, let alone read the Bible.
Children at the center are taught how to pray, to participate in Sunday school activities, to sing songs, and are told stories from the Bible that depict God's love for them. When children return home, they teach their parents and siblings what they learn, especially to pray before meals and sleep and to thank God after waking up in the morning.
Many families have been transformed through their children. The children have so influenced their parents that the parents have started coming to church on Sundays now. Many parents are also volunteering to participate in various church activities.
The children have become healthy and are growing very fast. They relish and enjoy the nutritious hot meal the center provides every morning before the children leave for school. The daily meal consists of rice, lentils, a mixed vegetable, and fish, egg or chicken served on alternate days.
Without this meal, most of the children get to eat only a bowl of rice with some potato for dinner as that is all their parents can afford at home.
In the program children are coached on basic manners, etiquette and socializing skills to help them live in harmony and love with others in their community. The center organizes a parent meeting once every month to teach about various issues that can become impediments to children's development.
Children age 12 years and older are encouraged to set realistic goals and document them in their "My Plan for Tomorrow." The church staff members also sit with each child to help identify the child's interests and motivate him or her in that direction for the future.
At the end of each year these goals are measured and evaluated, based on the child's progress. This helps children know where they stand so they can press toward their goal zealously with confidence.
The essence of sponsorship is far above the monetary gain that it provides. It involves relationship-building over a period of time. It provides an opportunity for both the sponsor and the beneficiary to unite their hearts and partake in one another's joy, sorrow and celebration.
Sponsorship is a prayerful commitment made by you to care a child and for their family over the long term. You help to alleviate difficult living conditions lurking around by providing hope through education and encouragement through letters and gifts.
"Given a chance and opportunity, our children have the potential to become future leaders of this region to further development work and to help many more children and families come into the mainstream of the society."
— Maijo, center coordinator for Souri Child Development Center
