WATCH: Megyn Kelly Blows Sandra Fluke's Arguments Away
Fox's Megyn Kelly passionately defended religious liberty on "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday after the Supreme Court sided in favor of Hobby Lobby in a 5-4 decision.
O'Reilly played a clip of Sandra Fluke on Chris Matthews' MSNBC show Monday night, where Fluke described the decision as an attempt to limit women's access to health care, saying "What this is really about at its base is trying to figure out as many ways as possible to limit women's access to reproductive healthcare."
Kelly wasted no time in launching into an explanation of the ridiculousness of Flukes allegation.

Cedartown running back Nick Chubb has traveled quite a bit in 2013.
The Rivals100 playmaker has visited Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Tennessee thus far, and still has other trips, including one to Ohio State, planned.
On Saturday, Chubb decided to make the trip to Athens for a return trip to UGA, and after visiting the campus for a number of times since the beginning of his junior year for games and the like, this experience was different.
"I got there around nine o'clock in the morning for practice but they (UGA) didn't practice because of the weather," Chubb said. "I got to see the coaches and talk to them. I got a chance to just hang with the coaches. It was good to get back. I've been there other times, for games and stuff, but didn't get to see film or talk about the offense much. This time I got to watch film and see how they run the ball. I got to spend time with most of the offensive staff, so it was great."
In his film session with the Georgia assistants, Chubb was pleased with what he saw in regards to the utilization of the Bulldog ball carriers.
"They (UGA) use their running backs very good.," he said. "They do the same thing we do here (at Cedartown). It's different but there are a lot of the same things."
This trip was also a chance for the four-star prospect to find out UGA's 2014 plans for the running back position.
Chubb discovered that Georgia plans to take more than one player at the position, but competition isn't something that will affect his decision.
As a matter of fact, he welcomes it.
"The (Georgia) coaches told me they want to take two (running backs) and the two they are going to take are going to play," Chubb said. "They told me that hopefully one will be me. I don't mind competition at all. It is only going to make you better. I know if I work hard it will work out one way or another and I will play."
Chubb named Georgia as his leader in an interview with UGASports recently, and after a number of trips to other campuses and another to UGA, little has changed.
"Georgia is still my top school," he said. "I have some schools that are up there, but Georgia is at the top right now. I will be going to Ohio State soon so we will see."
Visiting campuses and getting an in depth look at different schools is a high priority for Chubb, who also runs track at Cedartown, at this time, but so is improving his game.
"I'm just going to keep working at track. I'm running to keep my speed, and that is my top priority," he said. "We are also working out every day for football, and hopefully we will have a great season next year."

(Part one in a series of articles about the Twin Cities Black Film Festival)
By Charles Hallman
Staff writer
Local filmmakers were featured at this year's Twin Cities Black Film Festival (TCBFF). The MSR was in attendance at the four-day event held September 26-29 at St. Louis Park's Showplace Icon Theaters. "We had 11 [local] filmmakers, and his was the only one that sold out," proclaimed TCBFF Founder-Director Natalie Morrow on Ménages, a two-hour film directed by Edith Rene Tchuichoui. It was part of her "Celebration of Minnesota Filmmakers." The movie's main characters are Samantha, a U.S. citizen and Joseph, a Cameroon immigrant are brought together who are forced to make choices based on emotions or interests. "I started working on this movie in '09," said the filmmaker, who added that it was originally filmed as a short, but later lengthened it after audience reactions that saw it were positive.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) -- A judge has barred an Army psychiatrist charged in a deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood from military court because he still has a beard.
Maj. Nidal Hasan was told Tuesday that he couldn't attend any more hearings unless he shaves. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, initially warned Hasan that he was violating Army policy at a hearing earlier this month.
Hasan was removed from court and was to watch the rest of Tuesday's proceedings on closed-circuit television from a nearby room.
Lead defense attorney Lt. Col. Kris Poppe says Hasan grew the beard as a "deeply sincere" expression of his Islamic faith and because he has a premonition he will die soon.
Hasan faces the death penalty in the 2009 attack that killed 13 people in Texas.

I still don't agree with talisman nerf because it still doesn't stop zombies from getting silver stars.
Exhibit A: https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... 0e1b7eded5
See, zombies have silver star, and 1776 rp so I don't know what this talk is about talismans somehow cursing zombies out of existence is bunk.
Oh and the guy i fought ragequit cuz his all ss is engage and I just beat up his sissy soul line with a single grim. His ss was like shelby and some soul that removes a targeted engage unit, then rasam , rasam something like that.
If anything I suspect this errata is going to be another ex lapierre nerf again.
And see, he didn't ragequit even when I drop verlaat against him coz he know he is gonna win anyways until he saw faeries blessing.
I think Fargone said it the best, anything that works in refess will be removed or nerfed into the ground so it don't work anymore while other spheres is protected as usual.
Meaning another fail errata like refess lose yet another important thing and in exchange they get nothing and zombies get to run around with impunity again.
And another thing, its not like that talisman set whole enemy field's max hp =0, it attacks only one undead. Not two, three, four!
I do however still have moar questions.
Is folrart knight captain unnerfed?
Did Aano get her grand cross slash back?
Is Shield of the heavens errata'd to the point where we can use it for the first time since I got it in 2009?
Is elneith more better than before?
Is elneith prettier art than before?
Did lavende get buffed coz her shackles of time is stupid compared to broken priest's fieldwide buff.
Is priest of the holy word better?
Did Blessed Acolyte lose that useless auto and get something useful?
Is lycan seraph more kawaii than before?
Did Garfath x Kafhar go through?
Is healing priest no longer known as traitor priest?
Has Folrart Slash Knight's bad close updated to be good as the field wipe preventor closes in latest sets?
Is Orthos good as Belus now?
Haz Sun bow archer's buffed a little bit to be not big sp drain on user?
I urge you to rethink Inspiration hard.

The oldest Jonas Brother, Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle are expecting their first child. Their rep said that they are very much looking forward to building a family together. They were married in December 2009. Kevin Tweeted, "It's true – Danielle is pregnant! Can't even imagine how excited we are! I can't wait to share this with my best friend. I love you baby."
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is officially out at "The View" but get this, her last day is today. After nearly ten years, she's heading to the Fox News morning show, "Fox & Friends", where she'll be replacing Gretchen Carlson, who's getting her own daytime series. Rumor has it that Brooke Shields or Jenny McCarthy may be taking over for Elisabeth, although there's no official word on that yet. In other talk-show shake-up news, NBC announced yesterday that Meredith Viera is getting her own daytime talk show, but it won't premiere until next fall. Meredith left the "Today" show in 2011.
Kanye West's video for 'Black Skinhead' was posted on his website this week, but quickly taken down. However, lots of media outlets were still able to get their hands on the leaked version, which made Yeezy angry. He Tweeted, "The Black Skinhead video that leaked yesterday was not the official version. Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 5 months and for creatives it's heartbreaking when something like this happens," he continued. "The final version will be ready within the next week...So any website that may have the unapproved / unfinished ruff. I ask you to please take it down...Allow me and Nick to give the world what we've been losing sleep over." His final message: "And to who ever leaked the video... F*** YOU!"
Jennifer Lopez says that at age 18, she was homeless for a few months, because her mom wanted her to go to college, and she refused. "I wanted to try dance full-time. So my mom and I had a break. I started sleeping on the sofa in the dance studio." Anyone buying that story?

Top Rated ETFs
TheStreet Ratings offers a conservative, balanced approach for selecting an exchange-traded fund (ETF). If you already own shares in an ETF or are considering making a new investment, consult the TheStreet Investment Ratings to gain a little more peace of mind.
Below, we've put together a few lists of top ETFs -- grouped by investment strategy and asset allocation -- to get your research started.Top-Rated Stocks | Top-Rated Mutual Funds
What Our ETF Ratings Mean:
A (Excellent) - The ETF has an excellent track record for maximizing performance while minimizing risk, thus delivering the best possible combination of total return on investment and reduced volatility. It has made the most of the recent economic environment to maximize risk-adjusted returns compared to other ETFs. While past performance is just an indication -- not a guarantee -- we believe this fund is among the most likely to deliver superior performance relative to risk in the future as well.
B (Good) - The ETF has a good track record for balancing performance with risk. Compared to other ETFs, it has achieved above-average returns given the level of risk in its underlying investments. While the risk-adjusted performance of any ETF is subject to change, we believe that this fund has proven to be a good investment in the recent past.
C (Fair) - In the trade-off between performance and risk, the ETF has a track record which is about average. It is neither significantly better nor significantly worse than most other ETFs. With some funds in this category, the total return may be better than average, but this can be misleading since the higher return was achieved with higher than average risk. With other funds, the risk may be lower than average, but the returns are also lower. In short, based on recent history, there is no particular advantage to investing in this fund.
D (Weak) - The ETF has underperformed the universe of other funds given the level of risk in its underlying investments, resulting in a weak risk-adjusted performance. Thus, its investment strategy and/or management has not been attuned to capitalize on the recent economic environment. While the risk-adjusted performance of any ETF is subject to change, we believe that this fund has proven to be a bad investment over the recent past.
E (Very Weak) - The ETF has significantly underperformed most other funds given the level of risk in its underlying investments, resulting in a very weak risk-adjusted performance. Thus, its investment strategy and/or management has done just the opposite of what was needed to maximize returns in the recent economic environment. While the risk-adjusted performance of any ETF is subject to change, we believe this fund has proven to be a very bad investment in the recent past.
+ (Plus Sign) - An indication that the fund is in the top third of its letter grade.
- (Minus Sign) - An indication that the fund is in the bottom third of its letter grade.
U (Unrated) - The ETF is unrated because it is too new to make a reliable assessment of its risk-adjusted performance. Typically, a fund must be established for at least three years before it is eligible to receive a TheStreet Investment Rating.

(2) to any contract entered into prior to December 30, 1974, with any person, organization, or agency of the United States Government to provide personnel to conduct, or assist in conducting, any such program;
(3) with respect to assistance, including training, in maritime law enforcement and other maritime skills;

The Surface and Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (Sumatra) is a multi-sector agency established in 2001 by an Act of Parliament to regulate road, railway and marine transport.
Over the period that Sumatra has been overseeing transportation in these areas, some of the major challenges have remained for failure to address them adequately.
For example, while road transportation has developed with the construction of many roads, and travelling made easier even in some of the country's rural areas, adherence to road safety rules remains poor.
It is acknowledged that passenger transport within the country has progressed over the past 20 years tremendously reducing travel time.
On a wider scope, transport in the Eastern African region, has picked up momentum linking countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Stakeholders deserve kudos for the progress made, save for a few remaining patches which are being addressed.
But while the road infrastructure has improved, supervision of the laws to ensure that standards are observed so as to avoid accidents leaves a lot to be desired.
Preventable accidents continue to claim human lives. It is not so much the accidents that cause the heavy loss of human life, but rather the lack of skills and means to save lives.
It is startling to learn that not much has been done to create safeguards in the areas of railways and marine transport.
It is well understood that Tanzania is endowed with large and massive water bodies, ranging from fresh river water to oceans.
Over the period, again, transport in this terrain, has grown, if not necessarily improved, with increase in the number of marine vessels.
It is quite clear, however, that the rise in the number of vessels is not supported with the equivalent number of safety equipment, units, staffing and necessary skills to address issues pertaining to possible marine disasters.
Opening a workshop on the 2010 Manila Amendment to the International Convention on the (STCW) for Seafarers 1978, in Dar es Salaam on Monday, Sumatra acting Director General Ahmad Kilima said marine accidents can be reduced substantially if skills are imparted and safety tools availed to seafarers.
He acknowledged that the human factor was critical in enhancement of maritime safety, pointing out that more than 80 per cent of such accidents are attributable to human error. Yet during all this period, as a country we have not done enough to address marine safety problems.
Since the MV Bukoba marine tragedy in 1996, Tanzania has subsequently witnessed a number of marine accidents — the Mv Spice Islander in Zanzibar being the most recent of them. What is more poor human judgement was a major cause of the accident, as shown by the special presidential report.
A more intensive skills training, coupled with provision of means to deal with emergencies is sorely needed.
As marine transport develops and becomes more popular, there is a need to ensure that Sumatra develops more viable mechanisms and equipment to effectively deal with marine disasters.
Short of this we are likely to turn the country's rivers, lakes and oceans into marine passenger graveyards.

My Golden WILL NOT jump!
Jaxon, My 8 month old Golden will not jump! This is becoming an issue since he is now 60 lbs. He will not even attempt to jump up into my pathfinder. As of now I have to try and pick him up and put him in the vehicle and being that I have back problems thats not a good thing. I am going to see if he will use a ramp but still trying to figure out why he will not even try to jump. He will not even jump on the bed. He puts his front paws up on the bed and waits to be put up on the bed. We had our Vet look him over, thinking maybe there was some hip issues but the vet said he appears fine. Of course the only way to know is to do a xrays/test.
Any thoughts?
IMO its not normal for a young Golden to not jump at all if it's healthy. He doesn't even want to put himself up onto your bed? I think it's time for x-rays and tests.
I hope you'll keep us posted on how he's doing.

as long as it was not too high, while Rose had her front legs on the bed I kept her head down so she can lift her back legs up. Once on the bed we played with her toys. Now she likes it because she can see out the window - she loves watching the birds especially.
With the car I only allow the small Corolla. The bigger cars I will never encourage her to jump in. I bring her close enough that she has her front legs on and lift her back up.
She is 5 1/2 months but cannot see myself letting her jump in the 4Runners or Suburban.

Rain is actually the same way. She's 9 months old and just now started to jump in the back seat of the car (it's more like a jeep type thing). She can jump down just fine...just not up. She does the same on my bed, she'll put her front paws up and make me lift her the rest of the way....She can jump on the couch just fine though....
I got now Pixie to get in the car! But let me tell you that it took a LOT of treats, a LOT of encouragement (in a squicking voice!) and even a jump in dance!
Make sure that all is good when it comes to its health, and for the rest, dont give up and give him time!
Have the hip xrays done just so you know what you are dealing with. I'm sure your vet did a flex/physical on him to check if the hips are loose, but that doesn't really help if the hips have bone changes.
I'm trying to remember how high up pathfinders are... er, but most SUV's I'd consider a ramp anyway. Especially since you have a bad back.
And at your house, invest in a step or something to help your dog get up and off the bed without jumping all the time. <- I had one way back when Jacks was a puppy and now Bertie's using it all the time. I don't care if they have good hips or not, I do not want them jumping up and off beds all the time.

Thank you all for your opinions and great suggestions! I emailed the breeder to ask if Jaxon might have some type of accident that made him have a jumping phobia. The reason I asked that is because a few days after we got Jaxon I was brushing him and noticed a scar about 6" long that ran along the inside of his thigh. She emailed back and said he did not have any accidents and that none of her goldens jump.
Have you tried having him get a running start rather than putting his front paws on the bed, car, sofa etc and bringing the back legs up?

George has only just started jumping into the car and on the bed ( when he feels like it) and he's 15 months. I think in his case he just likes me lifting him lazy big lump LOL.

Portland Safehouse (GTA III)
this wiki
The Portland Safehouse in Grand Theft Auto III is the first place the player can save at.
The safehouse is situated in a back alley in the Red Light District, consisting of one rudimentary living space (depicted being equipped with a bed, stove, washing machine, microwave and television, and a garage capable of containing up to one moderately sized vehicle). Based on the sign hung over its garage, the safehouse is associated with one "Eddie". Upon escaping police custody, Claude and 8-Ball use this place to "lay low" during "Give Me Liberty".
Awarded baseball bat, police bribes, a health pickup, an adrenaline pill, as well as pickups attained by collecting hidden packages are usually sorted within the back alley. In addition, completion of "Big'n'Veiny" from El Burro will result in the safehouse appearing with stacks of bestiality pornography magazines (presumably a gift from El Burro).
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, a hidden package is found behind a couple of trashcans next to the safehouse's door.
- The poster on the wall shows a beach, possibly suggesting that the next game in the series would be set in Miami (Vice City).
- The exterior of the Hashbury Safehouse in GTA San Andreas bears a strong resemblance to the Portland Safehouse.
- So far, this is the only safehouse in GTA 3 where the interior can be seen.

Jacob Kassay's work fits together. One body represents a departure from another, and yet it holds more meaning when viewed as a step, attached to the step before it. On January 9th, Kassay's Untitled (disambiguation) filled The Kitchen in Chelsea, marking his first solo show in New York in nearly four years. If the crowd was any indication of its success, the young artist has little to worry about.
The show will remain here until February 16th. Reminders of the large silver electroplated squares for which Kassay is known lean behind a support and in a hallway while his new works hang on the walls of the second floor. The shapes come from linens left over from his earliest works, cut to accomodate more traditional painting forms. Stretchers were built in the forms of these salvaged pieces of fabric, and the results are unassuming, organic structures, one bridge-like across a corner, one crescent-like on a black wall. They glow in comparison to the shadowy mirror-ish paintings, if only because of their forced context. The soft, neutral colors that set them apart from their hard, polished predecessors and this almost narrative, puzzle-like display are comfortingly linear.
I visited Kassay at his Los Angeles studio last month and found him working on a piece commissioned to show in Istanbul. Without giving too much away, Kassay is not finished with thinking about negative space. During our conversation I recognized a trait I only associate with true artist-minds: a refusal to compromise his own methods of compromise. There is an answer to every question he asks, and if he wants to find it, he is usually the only one who can.
As stated in the program, the work at The Kitchen is "grounded in Kassay's interest in how reductive formal strategies serve the quality of one's attention." If you want to know where his attention is focused lately, just look at his website. Each time the page refreshes and you're redirected to a seemingly random site, you are actually entering the mind of Jacob Kassay. Stay as long as you like.

Contract farming is agricultural production carried out according to an agreement between a buyer and farmers, which establishes conditions for the production and marketing of a farm product or products.
Typically, the farmer agrees to provide established quantities of a specific agricultural product, meeting the quality standards and delivery schedule set by the purchaser.
In turn, the buyer commits to purchase the product, often at a pre-determined price. Importantly, the buyer also commits to support production through providing farm inputs on credit to the farmer, and also possibly providing land preparation, technical advice and transporting produce to the buyer's premises.
Contract farming enables ginneries to actively engage in seed cotton production process. Through contract farming, ginners provide credit inputs to farmers to increase yields and stabilize their seed cotton supply chain. Key benefits for farmers include access to credit inputs and a guaranteed market. Access to inputs and training can enable farmers to improve their incomes and productivity significantly.
In cotton, the three-year pilot of contract farming has shown that farmers who have contracts typically have 30% higher productivity compared to those who do not benefit. No wonder farmers and local government have been so supportive of the new approach!
In 2007, Tanzania Gatsby Trust and the Tanzania Cotton Board conducted a study to identify issues and opportunities that exist in the Tanzanian cotton and textile industry. The study highlighted low volume and quality of seed cotton and low domestic consumption of lint.
In order to address these problems, it was recommended that a contract farming system be considered to transform ginneries into "hubs" in which seed cotton production and marketing efforts would be anchored. In April 2008, contract farming was endorsed by the cotton sub-sector stakeholder meeting with a recommendation to pilot it in Mara, Pwani and Morogoro regions.
The success of a contract farming model hinges on the relationship between the farmer and the ginner. Both parties need to honor their commitment to each other on time and in full.
That is, buyers must supply the right inputs on schedule and farmers need to "repay" the credit by selling seed cotton back to the ginner and not engage in side-selling. In order to negotiate on a level playing field, farmers need access to information and to enhance their bargaining power on one hand. On the other hand, the ginners, who are incurring most of the risk, need some certainty that they will receive the seed cotton that they have invested in.
The CTDP and the Tanzania Cotton Board have designed a standard contract that spells out the terms of an agreement between ginning companies and farmer business groups.In order to ensure input accessibility and seed cotton quality, as well as optimal level of price competition, the contract includes clauses that address the key issues in the farming and marketing of seed cotton:
1. Guaranteed market for seed cotton
2. Pricing mechanism
3. Goods and services to be provided by ginners
Guaranteed market
The contract stipulates that the buyer is providing a guaranteed market for the entire seed cotton crop produced by contracting farmer business group during the season under consideration (the contract is valid for one season).
Pricing mechanism
The contract recognizes that the buyer will pay a market price defined as the going rate at the time of marketing. The floor price will still be the indicative price negotiated between TCB, ginners and the cotton growers' association.
The contract requires ginning companies to supply on credit cotton seeds and sufficient pesticide required for the area to be planted by the cotton growers (grouped in Farmer Business Groups). In addition, the contract requires the buyer to organize and pay for transportation of the seed cotton from the warehouse to the ginnery within 30 days from the start of the buying season as declared by TCB.
When it was first piloted in 2008, contract farming faced some challenges in Tanzania.
Firstly, there was originally inadequate preparation by ginners and farmers: although the decision to pilot contract farming in 2008 was taken several months before the start of the programme, some key stakeholders were reluctant to fully participate.
Some farmer groups that were in existence before the advance of contract farming viewed contract farming as just another project that would provide hand-outs.
The lack of information on contract farming prior to the launch of the pilot was the main cause of farmers' and ginners' reluctance. Since then, contract farming has been well-known among ginners and local farmers for its success.
Secondly, the first contract farming pilot in 2008 coincided with the global downturn in the financial sector that resulted in a virtual freeze in credit markets. Ginners and farmers were sceptical to invest in cotton farming as the market outlook was not optimistic. However, the offer of inputs on credit meant that the initial demand for contract farming exceeded the planned level of effort.
The initial target contract farming pilot programme was 3,700 farmers grouped in 48 farmer business groups. By January 2009, the total number of farmers who had requested to be included in the pilot programme was 9,312. As the success of contract farming emerged, by 2010 the size of the pilot had grown to include 38,000 farmers and the number of ginners involved had grown from 3 to 7.
How has the pilot been so successful? It has shown that contract farming can succeed with a few key elements in place.
Firstly, the commitment of the ginners is critical to proving that the model can work. In 2009, Olam and Badugu demonstrated commitment to contract farming by making an investment in the system. Both ginners were early adopters of contract farming and provided inputs on credit to farmers.
They both delivered the inputs on time to the farmers, and ensured fairness in marketing (e.g. no tampering of the weigh scales was reported, which is otherwise a pervasive practice in the industry) – this signalled to the farmers that the ginners could be trusted.
Badugu went one step further and forged a public-private partnership with the local government and provided necessary inputs e.g. motorcycles and fuel, to the government extensions officers in order to increase their outreach to contracted farmers. The commitment of these ginners contributed to their high repayment rates (about 90%).
Secondly, allowing farmer groups to add and capture more value increases the quality of seed cotton and helps ginners to recover the loan extended to farmers. Ginners who involved FBG leaders in the purchasing operations paid a commission to the groups that ranged from Tsh. 15 to 30 per kilogram of seed cotton. This was a compensation for their time and value added in terms of bulking and quality assurance.

As its fans (and I'm one of them) will gladly attest, Disney's Frozen is a bit of a throwback to the studio's recent golden age of animated entertainments – that period from the late '80s to the mid-'90s that found more-or-less traditional fairy and folk tales goosed with healthy portions of Broadway razzmatazz. (Those in the press championing this new work as a welcome and rather bold return to form, however, do seem to have conveniently forgotten about 2009's excellent The Princess & the Frog and 2010's near-excellent Tangled.) But while much of the film follows the standard Disney-in-its-prime formula to the letter – big-eyed ingénue heroine, check; wacky animal sidekick, check; rafter-shaking power ballad destined to win an Oscar, check – there is one aspect to Frozen that separates it from the Little Mermaid/Beauty & the Beast/Lion King herd: The movie is kind of bonkers.

During a recent post-show conversation, an actor friend and I agreed that perhaps the most exciting moments at any theatrical production are those few seconds before the production even starts, when the lights dim, cell phones (please God) are turned to silent or vibrate, and the venue becomes alive with possibility - with the awareness that, in this live art form, absolutely anything can happen.

Both suspects who police believe robbed a Kohl's store earlier this month in Pueblo have been captured.
Adriane Rino and Orlando Joseph Velarde are now in the Pueblo County Jail on a $75,000 bond. Police tell 11 News that Valarde was arrested on unrelated charges earlier this week.
According to Pueblo Police, on December 12, police reported the Velarde struck up a conversation with the loss prevention officer while the officer watched Rino, who was thought to be shoplifting. Police say at one point, Velarde even asked the loss prevention officer for a cigarette.
Once Rino was seen leaving the store at 5627 North Elizabeth without paying for several items, police say the officer tried to stop her. Velarde allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the officer and aimed it at customers approaching the store. While pointing the gun, police say both he and Adriane Rico began walking away.
Pueblo Police are still investigating this robbery, if you think you have any information on this crime, you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 542-STOP (719-542-7867). Your tip could be eligible for a cash reward.

In this lesson students will learn about Ronald Reagan's vision for the United States and analyze the ways in which political advertisements attempt to sway the opinions of voters through the examination of election advertisements during the 1984 Presidential election cycle. Students will then create their own political advertisement based on their own vision for the United States.
This thematic lesson plan is designed to introduce lower elementary school students to the life and interests of Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States and the 33rd Governor of California, through Common Core Aligned lesson and activities that develop literacy, numeracy, and physical education skills.
In the Reading and Writing Lesson, students will explore a timeline that explains some of the major events and accomplishments in President Reagan's life. In the mathematics lesson, students will utilize President Reagan's favorite snack, jelly beans, to explore basic concepts of addition and subtraction. In the physical education lesson, students will learn about President Reagan's favorite hobby, horseback riding, as they learn to change speeds while moving in different patterns.
In this lesson, students will learn both to be informed and to be engaged as they research an issue that is important to them, and communicate their thoughts on the issue to the President of the United States. They will also develop their literacy skills as they learn to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of student-composed letters to the president.
In this lesson students will analyze various factors contributing to the fall of the Soviet Union. They will examine sources that reveal both historical details and rhetoric that led to the collapse of the eastern communist superpower, and ultimately the end of the Cold War. In pursuit of this understanding, students will analyze and evaluate the discourse between Mikhail Gorbachev, General Secretary of the Soviet Union, and Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States.

What exactly does sustainable mean? A definition of sustainable is: capable of being maintained at a steady level without exhausting natural resources or causing severe ecological damage. It encompasses the concept of stewardship and responsible management of resources.
In the wooded farmlands west of Williston stands, neglected and forgotten, an abandoned country church. Like a monument to the county's rich historical past, this church is a silent sentinel and reminder of when our churches were the heart of community life.
In days gone by, the tiny church houses were the center of life and death, where revivals, baptisms, weddings, Sunday school classes and funerals were held. But all country churches had a common thread, a warm homey feeling about them.

Of all the recorded hurricanes to hit the United States since 1851, 36-percent of them have made landfall in Florida. However, the state did have 18 hurricane seasons pass without a known storm impacting the state.
Although hurricane season officially opens on June 1 of each year, the month of highest activity has historically been September, followed by October and then August. Weather officials began using female names to identify hurricanes in 1953 and followed with males names in 1979. The Saffir-Simpson scale for measuring hurricane strength was created in 1975.

COVINGTON, Ky. - Former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleading squad member Sarah Jones has been charged by a northern Kentucky grand jury with first-degree sexual abuse involving a student when she was a teacher at Dixie Heights High School.
Photo Gallery: Ex-cheerleader Sarah Jones pictures
According to the Kentucky Enquirer, a Kenton County grand jury indicted Jones, 26, on sex abuse charges. She was also indicted on a charge of unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in sexual acts. These charges are felonies that are each punishable by up to five years in prison.
Her mother, Cheryl Jones, the principal at Twenhofel Middle School in Independence, was also indicted on a charge of tampering with physical evidence in her daughter's case. She was placed on administrative leave. Sarah Jones resigned from Dixie Heights High School in November.
Attorney Charles T. Lester Jr. confirmed he was representing Cheryl Jones and her daughter.
"Sarah has maintained her innocence. The indictment of her mother is completely baseless," Lester said in a written statement.
During an arraignment hearing on Monday, Sarah Jones pleaded not guilty to first-degree sexual abuse. She also pleaded not guilty to unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in sexual or other prohibited activities, a charge often reserved for people who peddle in child pornography over the Internet.
Her mother also appeared in court at her daughter's side to plead not guilty to tampering with physical evidence in the case. Cheryl Jones was suspended from her job as principal at Twenhofel Middle School in Independence after being indicted on Thursday.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Judge Patricia Summe reduced Sarah Jones' $50,000 bond and Cheryl Jones' $30,000 bond to $15,000 each. She required the pair to be placed on electric monitoring as a term of their release.
Summe ordered the daughter and mother to have no contact with the underage victim and his family, despite the fact that the victim's relatives attended the arraignment in support of the Joneses. The two families sat in the same pew in the courtroom's gallery as they waited for the case to be called.
"The families are friends," said Lester.
The Jones' case is set for trial on June 27.
While the prosecutors declined to give specifics on the evidence, it is clear much of it is text messages. Judge Summe even ordered that text messaging on Sarah Jones' and Cheryl Jones' mobile phones be disabled as a term of their release from jail.
Several computers have also been seized as part of the investigation.
The indictment states the alleged sexual relationship with the high school student took place between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31. Sarah Jones resigned Nov. 29 as an English teacher from Dixie Heights in Edgewood.
Sarah Jones' amended petition for annulment was filed on March 21. It states she worked as a secretary at Eric Deters Law Office in Independence, but a person who answered the office phone last week said Sarah Jones was not employed at the business.
The Bengals' website lists Sarah Jones as the team captain for its 2011 cheerleading squad. Tryouts for this year have not taken place.
Sarah Jones married Nathan Wilburn on July 16, according to public records, but Sarah Jones moved out of her husband's residence on Aug. 24.
" ... the marriage was not consummated by sexual intercourse," according to the petition for annulment of marriage filed in Kenton Circuit Court.
There have been rumors about Sarah Jones' sexual behavior since 2009. Someone posted on the gossip website TheDirty.com that she had contracted two sexually transmitted diseases from a former boyfriend. The website even reported she had sex with the man in her high school classroom.
Sarah Jones filed a still-pending federal lawsuit against the gossip website and granted numerous interviews to local and national reporters to defend herself. Cheryl Jones was often at her daughter's side during these interviews.
In an August 2010 interview with The Enquirer, Jones said she was using the website posts as a "teachable moment" after her students started looking it up on the Internet and asking questions.
"It was then I decided I had nothing to hide," she said at the time. "There is nothing I need to back down from."
Meanwhile, Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the club is aware of the case and had no comment.

Cloudpath Networks is the industry leader for secure Automated Device Enablement (ADE). We quickly and easily onboard millions of devices in a variety of wireless environments. Our Cloudpath Suite of solutions provides Secure Wi-Fi for All. The Cloudpath family of products are best-of-breed Automated Device Enablement (ADE) solutions, combining device onboarding with advanced certificate management.
Cloudpath™ Overview
Cloudpath brings standards-based security to diverse and unmanaged environments in a manner that is scalable and sustainable. From wireless networks with WPA2-Enterprise to wired networks with 802.1X, Cloudpath ensures that users are effortlessly provisioned and connected to the secure network across a wide range of laptops, phones, and tablets.
Cloudpath provides a common point of entry for all new devices entering the environment, determines the appropriate security policy for each, and provides automated, self-service configuration to enable that policy. Cloudpath ensures each device complies with and is provisioned appropriately for your policies, today and in the future.
Cloudpath combines the low cost and ubiquity of the native 802.1X supplicants with the manageability and ease-of-use traditionally associated with expensive third-party supplicants. In situations where the native supplicant doesn't fit your needs exactly, Cloudpath has the ability to augment it to provide the features you need, all in a minimally invasive manner.
Cloudpath comes in two varieties to match the needs of every network:
Cloudpath Enrollment System (ES)
The Cloudpath ES provides a scalable, standards-based security solution that greatly reduces management demands even in the face of the skyrocketing growth in the numbers and diversity of devices requiring varied levels of access to the network. Cloudpath ES also serves as an integral piece in protecting an organization from the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks attempting unauthorized access and data theft, destruction or corruption.
Unprecedented levels of automation and flexibility make Cloudpath ES easy and simple. Cloudpath ES automates configuration for all major operating systems and segregates personal devices from IT-owned while maintaining device-by-device visibility and control.
Cloudpath ES Highlights
- Automated onboarding for all users, including employees, guests, and contractors
- Intuitive workflow engine for comprehensive policy-driven access
- Distributes unique certificate per device based on policies
- Built-in certificate infrastructure and RADIUS server
- Automates EAP-TLS, the WPA2-Enterprise gold standard
- Supports guest use cases, including sponsorship
- Differentiates between IT-owned and personal devices
- Provides visibility into users, devices, and policies
- Integrates with Microsoft Active Directory and Certificate Services
- Integrates with external LDAP and RADIUS servers
- Integrates with your existing WLAN
Cloudpath ES is deployable on-premise as a VMware server(s) or is available as a cloud service.
Visit the Solutions Page for details on some of the common scenarios handled by Cloudpath ES.
Cloudpath Enrollment System Datasheet
Cloudpath Wizard
At the heart of the Cloudpath ES is a highly reliable device configuration tool. This tool is also available in a standalone form as the Cloudpath Wizard for environments in need of only user-based policy, which normally takes the form of either PEAP/MSCHAPv2 or EAP-TLS with Microsoft CA. The Cloudpath Wizard has been proven in networks around the globe and configures millions of devices every year.
While user-based policy is being replaced within the industry by user+device-based policies (see Cloudpath ES), the Cloudpath Wizard is appropriate in environments where:
- All users are defined in Active Directory.
- Policies are based only on the user's identity.
- User credentials have limited value, reducing the risk if compromised. (PEAP)
Cloudpath Wizard Highlights
- Automated, self-service onboarding
- Support for a wide array of laptops, phones, and tablets
- Configures Wi-Fi, certificates, and NAC settings
- Install third party software, including Antivirus
- Reduces IT support costs
The Cloudpath Wizard is available for on-premise deployment, or as a cloud service. The on-premise deployment supports a wide array of web servers, including Apache and Microsoft IIS.
Secure, as simple as insecure.™ With the Cloudpath Suite, increased security no longer translates into end user frustration and IT support overhead. Cloudpath has the unique ability to configure wireless profiles, 802.1X supplicant information, and other security-related settings on the fly from a browser for most Windows™, Mac™, and Ubuntu™ computers and a growing list of handheld devices, including iPhone™, iPad™, iPod Touch™, and Android ™ phones and tablets. Cloudpath also automates the association and authentication process, ensuring users are connected painlessly.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Taking Vitamins
Topic Overview
There are many studies being done to look at whether certain vitamin and mineral supplements and combinations of supplements may help prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or delay vision loss in people who already have it.
For example, the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) is a major research effort by the U.S. National Eye Institute. The first AREDS study found that supplementing your diet with high levels of vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, called antioxidants, and the mineral zinc may help slow the progress of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and delay vision loss if you already have moderate or severe AMD. There is no evidence that the supplements are helpful if you do not have AMD or only have a mild form of the disease.1
- The study showed the largest benefit for people who had already begun to develop AMD (intermediate AMD) in one or both eyes or who had advanced AMD in one eye. In these groups, the risk for advanced AMD or for AMD in the other eye was reduced by about 25%. The chance of developing vision loss from advanced AMD was reduced by about 20% in those taking the vitamins and zinc supplements.
- Although there may be some benefit from taking the vitamins alone or the zinc alone, the greatest benefit was seen in those who took both.
- The study did not find any significant benefit from the supplements in people who had only the early signs of AMD.
- The study found that taking the supplements did not help improve vision already lost from AMD.
In a study of male doctors who didn't have AMD, researchers found that taking vitamins E and C for up to 8 years, either alone or in combination, was not likely to affect whether or not a person got early AMD. This finding is consistent with other studies that looked at preventing AMD by using vitamins.2
If you're interested in taking a vitamin or mineral supplement, talk with your doctor about the risks. For example:
- Some can have harmful side effects or make certain health problems worse, especially in high doses.
- People who smoke or who used to smoke should not take beta-carotene. Studies have shown a higher incidence of lung cancer in people who smoke and take beta-carotene.
Remember that you can also get more vitamins from the foods you eat, especially fruits and vegetables.
