Mother Earth Brewery in Kinston left a good taste in the mouths of beer drinkers in the centennial state.
After a weekend at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado, Mother Earth Brewery was awarded the bronze in bohemian-style pilseners.
Ninkasi Brewing Company of Oregon took the gold in the same category, followed by Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant in Colorado with their Czech Pilsener.
Mother Earth's Bohemian Pilsenr earned the third place title at the festival.
The brew displayed "a fine example of the style that may vary slightly from style parameters and/or have minor deviations in taste, aroma or appearance," according to the judging criteria.
The Carolina Brewery in Chapel Hill and Wicked Weed Brewing in Ashville also earned honors.
The festival's website says nearly 600 brew masters showcase their frothy beverages in 75 different categories.

This type of Santa people have seen in the form of a ornate figurine, but you'll bring this depiction to life with the Men's XL Deluxe Old Time Santa Suit.

Other parts of the order include a pair of pants, a faux leather heavy belt with intricate designs, a pair of boot tops to wear over your own boots, and a unique Santa hat.

|Sevii Islands.
Birth Island (たんじょうのしま Birth Island) is one of the Sevii Islands and is the home to the Legendary Pokémon, Deoxys in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon Emerald.
To get to Birth Island, the player needs the Aurora Ticket event item. This item is sometimes called Nine Island because it is the ninth in the chain of islands which make up the Sevii Islands. The player can go here via the Seagallop Ferry dock in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and the S.S Tidal in Pokémon Emerald. Once the player arrives on Birth Island, he/she has to rotate a stone triangle positioned in the center until it glows bright red. However, if the Trainer stops moving the triangle, it will immediately reset and the Trainer will have to begin again. When it glows red, Deoxys will appear before the Trainer (Attack Forme in Pokémon FireRed, Speed Forme in Pokémon Emerald and Defense Forme in Pokémon LeafGreen).

|Selected FAQ
Why does my printer print garbage from MS-DOS and Windows?
When a printer prints garbage, it usually indicates a faulty cable or a loose connection. Power OFF your printer and computer. Disconnect and reconnect the cable on the printer and computer. Once the cable has been reconnected, power the printer and computer back ON. Try printing from MS-DOS. If you are still getting garbage, change the cable. We recommend getting a fully shielded cable, preferably 6 feet or less in length. If you are still experiencing problems after changing your cable, you may have a computer or printer port issue. If you take the cable and printer to another computer and it works fine, have your computer's port checked by an authorized dealer. If it still gives you garbage from another computer, have the printer taken in to be serviced.

DP187: A Real Rival Rouser!
this wiki
Episode Plot
The Sinnoh League quarterfinal battle between rivals Ash and Paul is turning out to be one for the ages! Ash still has six of his Pokemon, while Paul's Aggron and Gastrodon have been eliminated. But the tide begins to turn at this point as Paul's true strategy begins to emerge: to predict and counter whatever Ash does! Paul's Drapion sets up a nasty trap with Toxic Spikes and, mere moments later, a dazzling tactical display renders Ash's Buizel, Staraptor, and Torterra unable to battle.
Next, Ash's Gliscor comes in against Paul's amazingly fast Ninjask. When Gliscor hits the ground and takes a lot of damage from Toxic Spikes, Ash switches it out in favor of Infernape--and this is where some creative strategizing on Ash's part begins to erode Paul's strategy, as an underground Flare Blitz burns off the Toxic Spikes!
After his Ninjask is eliminated, Paul brings out his Froslass, while Ash calls on Pikachu. Although Froslass is powerful and its evasion skills are impressive, Pikachu's tenacity rules the bout, and Froslass is eliminated!
While Paul again calls on Drapion, Ash gets Gliscor back into the battle. Although Gliscor is still feeling the effects of previous battling, the magnificent training it received from the Air Battle Master is evident. We leave the action just as Gliscor is diving directly into Drapion's Pin Missle! How will this incredible battle end?
- Music from Pokémon Heroes, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, and Arceus and the Jewel of Life is played during the episode.
- This episode marks the first time Pikachu manages to defeat one of Paul's Pokémon.
- The effect of Toxic Spikes is shown differently in this episode to how it works in the games. While in the games Toxic Spikes will poison any Pokémon sent into battle (with the exception of Flying-, Steel-, Poison-type, and Levitating Pokémon), in this episode it is shown to poison any Pokémon that touches the ground affected by Toxic Spikes regardless of type except for Poison-type Pokémon, as Brock mentioned that Ash needed one because they are immune to the effect.
- This episode shows that Toxic Spikes could be removed without the aid of Rapid Spin or Defog. With some improvisation, Infernape incinerated the field with Flare Blitz while underground, once again ignoring game mechanics and effectively removing its effect.
- A portion of the dub title is likely a play on "rabble rouser".
- When Staraptor is knocked out, Drapion is shown as being between Staraptor and Ash. However, when Ash returns Staraptor immediately after, Drapion is not in between them.

Anyways. Killzone is a lot of fun. Great tactical Shooter on a handheld.

There has been no shortage of MMA feuds, rivalries and wars of words involving Dana White through the years.
Some of the squabbles the UFC president has found himself embroiled in have involved rival promotions, like M-1 Global over Fedor Emelianenko. Some have involved referees. Sorry, Steve Mazzagatti. And some have involved his own fighters, like Tito Ortiz.
Most are much ado about very little in life's grand scheme, but they seldom fail to keep things interesting. Such is the case with White and heavyweight Roy Nelson.
Nelson (17-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC) coaches opposite Shane Carwin (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on the upcoming season of "The Ultimate Fighter," which debuts Friday on FX with a two-hour season premier starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Since Nelson first arrived in the UFC on Season 10 of the reality show, White has not been shy about the veteran heavyweight. After Nelson won "TUF 10," White frequently went public with his thoughts on Nelson – particularly when it comes to his appearance. Nelson, who in the past has walked out for fights to "I'm Fat" by Weird Al Yankovic, is known for his long hair and beard and lack of six-pack abs, to put it politely, as much as he's known for his granite chin in the octagon.
White has said he knew what he was getting into when he named Nelson a TUF coach. On Monday's edition of "Inside MMA" on AXS TV, the UFC boss, just days before Season 16 debuts, didn't give much away about the season – but reading between the lines, it's easy to predict he may have a few eye-rolling moments when Nelson is involved.
"Yeah, it was (an interesting choice)," White told hosts Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten. "It's very interesting. This season was … interesting. Roy and I don't get along too well. He's got his ideas and his way of doing things, and I have mine."
But White said no one got in the way of Nelson coaching his team of fighters the way he saw fit. And apparently no one stood in the way of him acting how he wanted to act, either.
"He's a coach. We let him go," White said. "We let him do his thing, and you'll see how it goes."
"TUF 16," which also is called "TUF Fridays" this season, debuts Friday with an elimination round of fights that will cut the list of fighters from 32 to 16. Those 16 then will be drafted into two teams, as usual, for a single-elimination tournament.
"TUF 16" features welterweight fighters, including notable names like Strikeforce vets Bristol Marunde (12-7), Ricky Legere Jr. (14-4) and Cortez Coleman (8-3) and Bellator veteran Sam Alvey (19-4).
Though this past season of "TUF" featured taped footage followed by live elimination fights, this season returns to a 100 percent pre-taped format over a 13-week season that will culminate with a live finale that takes place Dec. 15 in Las Vegas. The main card for that event includes the Season 16 finals plus Nelson vs. Carwin in the traditional coaches fight. The main card will air on FX.

Influenza (Flu) and Pregnancy
Influenza ("the flu") is an infection of the respiratory tract (the mouth, nose, and lungs, and the passages between them). The two types of flu that pregnant women should be concerned about are the seasonal (regular) flu and the 2009 H1N1 (swine) flu. Either of these two types of flu can make a pregnant woman very ill. This is because pregnant women are at high risk for flu complications. These complications include sinus infections and serious lung infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. In rare cases, miscarriage of the baby or even death of the mother can result. This sheet tells you more about the flu, what to do if you come down with the flu, and what you can do to avoid infection.
Note about the 2009 H1N1 Flu: The 2009 H1N1 flu is called this because the virus first spread in the year 2009. It was originally called "swine flu." Despite the name, eating pork or pork products does not cause this flu. Eating pork or pork products that have been properly handled and cooked is safe.
What Are Risk Factors for the Flu?
Anyone can get the flu. But you're more likely to catch the flu if you:
Have frequent, close contact with young children.
Work in a health care setting where you may be exposed to flu germs.
Live or work with someone who has the flu.
Haven't received an annual flu shot.
How Does the Flu Spread?
The flu is caused by a virus (a type of germ). The germ spreads through the air in droplets when someone who has the flu coughs, sneezes, laughs, or talks. You can become infected when you inhale the germ directly. You can also become infected when you touch a surface on which the droplets have landed and then transfer the germ to your eyes, nose, or mouth. Touching used tissues, or sharing utensils, drinking glasses, or a toothbrush with an infected person can expose you to the flu germ, too.
What Are the Symptoms of the Flu?
Flu symptoms tend to come on quickly and may last a few days to a few weeks. They include:
Fever (usually higher than
100.0º F; 37.8°C) and chills
Sore throat and headache
Dry cough
Runny nose
Tiredness and weakness
Body and muscle aches
If You Are Pregnant and Have Flu-like Symptoms…
Call your doctor right away. Follow any instructions your doctor gives you.
You may be asked to get tested to confirm that you have the flu.
Your doctor may prescribe medications called antivirals, especially if he or she suspects you have the H1N1 flu. These medications must be taken within 2 days of when your symptoms started. In some cases, your doctor may not wait for test results to come back before starting you on antivirals. These medications work by stopping the flu virus from reproducing in your body. This gives your body's immune system a chance to fight the virus. After taking the medication, your symptoms may be milder and you may recover quicker than without the medication. The medication may also prevent serious complications such as pneumonia.
If you feel you need medications to relieve symptoms, ask your doctor which ones are safe for you to take.
Easing Flu Symptoms
Drink lots of fluids such as water, juice, and warm soup to prevent dehydration. A good rule is to drink enough so that you urinate your normal amount.
Get plenty of rest.
If you're not hungry, eat smaller meals more often during the day to maintain your nutrition intake.
Apply warm compresses to your forehead or sinuses to relieve congestion.
Call your doctor if your fever rises higher than
100.0º F (37.8°C), or you become dizzy, lightheaded, or short of breath.
Preventing the Flu
Get vaccinated. One of the best ways to avoid the flu is to get a flu vaccination. Pregnant women can safely receive the flu shot that protects against both the regular and H1N1 flu. However, pregnant women should not receive the nasal spray vaccine (live-virus vaccine) for the regular flu (it may be harmful to the baby).
Wash your hands often. Frequent handwashing is a proven way to prevent infection. Carry an alcohol-based hand gel containing at least 60 percent alcohol. Use it when you don't have access to soap and water.
Clean items you use often with disinfectant wipes. This includes phones, computer keyboards, and toys.
Avoid crowds and children as much as possible while you're pregnant. Avoid being around anyone who has the flu.
Tips for Good Handwashing
Handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent many common infections. Follow these steps for more effective handwashing:
Use warm water and plenty of soap. Work up a good lather.
Clean the whole hand, under your nails, between your fingers, and up the wrists.
Wash for at least
15 to 20seconds. Don't just wipe—scrub well.
Rinse, letting the water run down your fingers, not up your wrists.
Dry your hands well. Use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the door.
Using Alcohol-Based Hand Gels
Alcohol-based hand gels are also a good choice for cleaning your hands. Use them when you don't have access to soap and water, or your hands aren't visibly dirty. Follow these steps:
Squeeze about a tablespoon of gel into the palm of one hand.
Rub your hands together briskly, cleaning the backs of your hands, the palms, between your fingers, and up the wrists.
Rub until the gel is gone and your hands are completely dry.

Aerys I Targaryen
this wiki
Aerys I Targaryen is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is not expected to appear in the series, being long dead by the time it begins.
Aerys Targaryen was the first of his name to sit the Iron Throne and the thirteenth King of the Targaryen dynasty. He was the son of King Daeron the Good and Queen Myriah and succeeded his father after he perished in the Great Spring Sickness. Per the Targaryen tradition, he took his own sister Aelinor as his wife. His other brothers were Baelor, Rhaegel, and Maekar, who would succeed him on the Iron Throne
Season 1
Aerys, along with his brothers and sister, is mentioned in House Targaryen's entry of the book The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Aerys I Targaryen is described as bookish. He was spindly and stooped, with long, straight hair. He had a long, thin face, a long, thin mustache and a long pointed beard. He inherits the Iron Throne after the Great Spring Sickness takes not only his father Daeron, but also his nephews Valarr and Matarys, the sons of his elder brother, Prince Baelor "Breakspear", who had perished defending Duncan the Tall in a Trial of Seven - a particular form of trial by combat.
Aerys appointed his uncle Brynden Rivers as Hand of the King and left the governance of the realm to him, while he occupied himself with the study of books and lore. He also shunned the bed of his sister-wife Aelinor. During this time, no one great disaster befell the realm, but it was beset by numerous minor problems which were allowed to flourish all at once due to Aerys I's inept reign. Following the great plague which killed Aerys I's father, the realm suffered a great drought, leading to famine even in breadbasket regions such as the Reach. This instability led to a great proliferation of broken men and highway robbers, and the roads were not considered safe to travel. Meanwhile, the pretenders of House Blackfyre who had fled across the Narrow Sea remained an ongoing threat. There were as many as five Blackfyre Rebellions in all, the first and greatest being the first, which occurred during the reign of Aerys I's father. Even so, the surviving Blackfyres were continually plotting new intrigues and rebellions to take the throne back, leading to the short-lived Second Blackfyre Rebellion which occurred three years into Aerys I's reign. In addition, the Lord of the Iron Islands, Dagon Greyjoy, took advantage of the chaos of the spring sickness and the Iron Throne's preoccupation with the Blackfyre rebels under Bittersteel, and raided Fair Isle, the Arbor, and even the North. Other localized rebellions of opportunity popped up throughout the kingdoms trying to take advantage of the general instability, including a revolt by the island of Skagos against Winterfell, and an attempt by the wildlings to invade south of the Wall by a new King-Beyond-the-Wall. Aerys I is overall remembered as a weak, absentee-king whose time on the throne was marked by plague, famine, Blackfyre intrigues from the Free Cities, ironborn raiding, wildling invasions, and other localized rebellions.
After Aerys' death, his brother Maekar inherited the throne, as Aerys had no heir, and their brother Rhaegel was considered crazy.

Beverly, Forest Trace
Forest Trace senior living community in Lauderhill, Florida. This was my first visit to a retirement community, and I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived. After spending a few days with the residents, I discovered that it was an inspiring and vibrant community of active and vital seniors. Beverly, one of Forest Trace's best dressed residents, was born in New York and has been living in the community for over two years. I asked her what her style inspiration was, and she replied, "I love fashion. I have always loved fashion. You get up in the morning and you look in the mirror and you can't ignore what you see. Why not make the best out of what you've got and try to always look your best?"

Creating a Plugin for Joomla
From Joomla! Documentation
Creating a Plugin for Joomla! 1.5
How to create your own plugin
This How-To should provide you with the basics of what you need to know to develop your own plugin. Most plugins consist of just a single code file but to correctly install the plugin code it must be packaged into an installation file which can be processed by the Joomla! installer.
Creating the installation file
As with all add-ons in Joomla!, plugins are easily installed as a .zip file (.tar.gz is also supported) but a correctly formatted XML file must be included. As an example, here is the XML installation file for the categories searchbot plugin.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <install version="1.5" type="plugin" group="search"> <name>Categories searchbot</name> <author>Joomla!

As you can see, the system is similar to other Joomla! XML installation files. You only have to look out for the group="xxx" entry in the<install>tag and the extended information in the<filename>tag. This information tells Joomla! into which folder to copy the file and to which group the plugin should be added.
If you are creating a plugin that responds to existing core events, the group="xxx" tag would be changed to reflect the name of existing plugin folder for the event type you wish to augment. e.g. group="authentication" or group="user". See Tutorial:Creating Plugins for a complete list of existing core event categories. In creating a new plugin to respond to core events it is important that your plugin's name is unique and does not conflict with any of the other plugins that may also be responding to the core event you wish to service as well.
If you are creating a plugin to respond to non-core system events your choice for the group="xxx" tag should be different than any of the existing core categories.
Tip: if you add the parameter method="upgrade" to the tag install, this plugin can be installed without deinstalling it before. All existing files will be overridden, but old files will not be deleted! So handle with care.
Creating the Plugin
Joomla! 1.5 introduces a new, more object-orientated, way of writing plugins. The old method is still supported for backwards-compatibility (see next section).
<?php // no direct access defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' ); // Import library dependencies jimport('joomla.plugin.plugin'); class plg<PluginGroup><PluginName> extends JPlugin { /** * Constructor * * For php4 compatability we must not use the __constructor as a constructor for * plugins because func_get_args ( void ) returns a copy of all passed arguments * NOT references. This causes problems with cross-referencing necessary for the * observer design pattern. */ function plg<PluginGroup><PluginName>( &$subject ) { parent::__construct( $subject ); // load plugin parameters $this->_plugin = JPluginHelper::getPlugin( '<GroupName>', '<PluginName>' ); $this->_params = new JParameter( $this->_plugin->params ); } /** * Plugin method with the same name as the event will be called automatically. */ function <EventName>() { $app = &JFactory::getApplication(); // Plugin code goes here. return true; } } ?>
Creating the Plugin (Legacy Mode)
This section describes the legacy method of creating plugins used prior to Joomla! 1.5. Some core Joomla! plugins may still use this method but will be gradually re-written over time. This method is still supported for backwards-compatibility.
The code that you want executed when the event triggers is written as a PHP function. Prior to the function definition you make a call to the registerEvent() method so that the Joomla! event system associates your function with the appropriate event.
For example, take a look at this skeleton code:
<?php // no direct access defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' ); $mainframe->registerEvent( '<EventName>', '<FunctionName>' ); function <FunctionName>( <ParameterList> ) { //Plugin code goes here } ?>
With the function $mainframe→registerEvent() your plugin is registered into the Joomla! event system. This means that when the event called '<EventName>' is later triggered, the function called '<FunctionName>' will be called.
Now you can write your plugin function code anyway you want. If you want to use parameters, it's no problem, just use them as usual. You can register as many events and plugin functions together in one file as you want. When you're done, your plugin is ready for use.
Using Plugins in Your Code
Now that you've created your plugin, you will probably want to call it in your code. You might not; the Joomla! core has a number of built-in events that you might want your plugin code to be registered to. In which case you don't need to do the following.
If you want to trigger an event then you use code like this:
$results = $mainframe->triggerEvent( '<EventName>', <ParameterArray> );
or in Joomla 1.5 fashion:
$dispatcher =& JDispatcher::getInstance(); $results = $dispatcher->trigger( '<EventName>', <ParameterArray> );
It is important to note that the parameters have to be in an array. The plugin function itself will get the parameters as single values. The return value will consist of an array of return values from the different plugins (so it can also contain multilevel arrays).
If you are creating a plugin for a new, non-core event, it is also important to remember to activate your plugin after you installed it, and of course to precede any reference to your new plugin with the JPluginHelper::importPlugin() command.
The plugin structure for Joomla! 1.5 is very flexible and powerful. Not only can plugins be used to handle events triggered by the core application and extensions, but plugins can also be used to make third party extensions extensible and powerful.

May 6, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- With Georgia one win away from playing for a national championship, quarterback Aaron Murray has suddenly imposed a media blackout.
The school says Murray met with coach Mark Richt and got permission to be relieved from his media responsibilities leading up to the Southeastern Conference championship game between the third-ranked Bulldogs and No. 2 Alabama. The winner will advance to face top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS title.
Murray has always been one of Georgia's most accessible players, usually meeting with the media on Tuesdays and after games. But he gave a hint that approach would change when he didn't hang around following last week's win over Georgia Tech.
Murray is the nation's top-rated passer and the first quarterback in SEC history with three straight 3,000-yard seasons through the air.

4 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks: ATAX, KFN, FULL, EBR.B
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
America First Tax Exempt Investors L.PDividend Yield: 7.10% America First Tax Exempt Investors L.P (NASDAQ: ATAX) shares currently have a dividend yield of 7.10%. America First Tax Exempt Investors, L.P. engages in acquiring, holding, selling, and dealing with a portfolio of federally tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing of multifamily residential apartments. The company has a P/E ratio of 78.33. The average volume for America First Tax Exempt Investors L.P has been 92,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. America First Tax Exempt Investors L.P has a market cap of $301.5 million and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are up 5.7% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. TheStreet Ratings rates America First Tax Exempt Investors L.P as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 2.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.0%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- This stock has managed to rise its share value by 27.50% over the past twelve months. Although ATAX had significant growth over the past year, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock at the current time.
- The gross profit margin for AMERICA FIRST TAX EX IVS -LP is rather high; currently it is at 63.90%. Regardless of ATAX's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, ATAX's net profit margin of 31.02% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$0.53 million or 113.17% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite a decrease in cash flow of 113.17%, AMERICA FIRST TAX EX IVS -LP is still significantly exceeding the industry average of -173.46%.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, AMERICA FIRST TAX EX IVS -LP underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.

SANFORD, Fla - The former Windermere police chief who was fired after allegedly covering up a sex battery case involving his friend has been denied bond after he was arrested Friday.
Daniel Saylor, 46, has been arrested on one charge of perjury for providing false testimony during the Scott Bush trial, according to deputies. Saylor turned himself into the Casselberry probation office Friday afternoon.
This is the second time Saylor has been arrested in connection with this case, according to FDLE officials. He was first arrested in Jan. 2011 for one count of giving unlawful compensation for official behavior, and one count of official misconduct.
Saylor will be booked into the Seminole County jail.
"Provable perjury cases will be filed by this office and pursued with vigor," State Attorney Jeff Ashton said in a release. "Should Mr. Saylor be convicted in this case, we will be seeking a sentence of imprisonment from the court as a warning to all that perjury will not be tolerated by this office
The arrest comes the same day that Bush, Saylor's friend whose sex battery case resulted in his termination, is sentenced to life in prison.
Saylor faced one year of jail time in 2011 after a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation accused him of halting a child-sex investigation into Bush and urging one of his officers to destroy records.
Saylor was fired from his job and lost his police certification. Bush was convicted of sexual battery, lewd or lascivious molestation and battery.

First impressions: you're more petite than I realized, but your hair is just as big as I had hoped.
Lisa Marie Presley Well, thank you. It'll get even bigger by show time. I'll pump it up before I get out there.
To be expected of a Southern girl. This year is the sixtieth anniversary of the birth of rock and roll, which started with Elvis Presley's first single, "That's all Right," in 1964. When were you aware of the contributions your father made to music?
LMP Not when I was a kid. He was just my dad then. But, obviously, to have that in my life now? I'm proud. Not that it's easy. To explain to my children that their grandfather started rock and roll? That this thing that is everywhere now didn't exist before him? Hard stuff. I tried to explain it to my youngest kids a week ago. They were like, 'So he started music entirely?' and I said, 'No, not music entirely, but a certain type of music. Like what is happening now is because of him.' We'll try again when they're older.
Was there a distinction between Elvis Presley your father and Elvis Presley the icon?
LMP There was no stage persona, no spokesperson, no alter ego. Elvis was my father and my father was Elvis.
Do you have favorite songs of his?
LMP I like his songs from the '70s, because that's when I was around.
Now you create your own music. Was there ever a point when you wanted to do something else?
LMP Nope. Music or poetry, which is basically what a singer-songwriter does.
C'mon, you never wanted to be an astronaut or a fireman?
LMP Well, there was a time when I wanted to be a nurse.
I wonder what a shrink would say about that.
LMP If I ever feel vulnerable, I get angry. I'll puff up. But it's all bullshit. I am the caretaker in the family. I pride myself on being a nurturer and want to help people. I'm also a hypochondriac. I've been to the doctor so many times that now if any of my kids or someone I know feels sick, they call me and I'll tell them what I think it is. It's not an official diagnosis, but I'm right most of the time.
So family is important to you?
LMP More than anything.
We have a friend in common, Linda Ramone, who told me that when her husband, Johnny Ramone, was sick that you were there for them like no one else.
LMP Yeah, I'd go be with him every day. We'd take shifts. I'd let Linda go home and take a shower and I'd stay with him until she got back. He was never alone.
He finally passed away at home, right?
LMP Right in the living room. In his La-Z-Boy chair. We were with him all day and when he died in the chair. It was me, Eddie Vedder, Rob Zombie, Pete Yorn, Steve Jones—a whole bunch of us. We hung out with him. We watched a movie with him sitting there in the chair. Dead.
That's bonkers!
LMP His mom called and I told her, "He is with us right now." And she said, "I believe in that stuff too.'" And I said, "No, he's actually sitting right here." I mentioned that to Bono and he said it sounded like an Irish wake. I guess it's common in Ireland…
But not in Beverly Hills. There is a certain kinship among musicians, though. Do you get that?
LMP I do tend to relate to people in music, but I appreciate any kind of artist. An artist is an artist is an artist.
Is your father an inspiration to you?
LMP Yes, of course. Huge. His background singers, the Sweet Inspirations, were another one. And I loved Elton John very, very early. Elton was the first record I bought that my dad found out about. He was like, "Who is this that she's listening to that isn't me?" He went out and bought a few of Elton's records after that.
Have you told Elton that?
LMP Yes, and he thought it was fabulous. Then I went through a country music phase. I loved the Mandrell sisters. Dolly Parton, obviously. Loretta Lynn. Tammy Wynette. Then I went into the hard-rock phase. Linda Ronstadt. Heart. Pat Benatar? Loved her.
What part of the music making process are you most fulfilled by?
LMP Touring. Interacting with the audience. I like smaller venues because they're more intimate.
How have you dealt with being a public figure?
LMP I create a little retreat for myself wherever I live. Right now, it's our house in England. I go there and I'm completely normal. I'll garden or cook. My husband got me some horses for Christmas. I like to retreat from performing and then delve back into it. Getting away is an important part of the process.
Does the press hound you?
LMP It's not that hard to avoid it if you want to. To tip off the paparazzi and stage a photo shoot at Starbucks? That's insane. When I grew up you did everything you could to avoid that. People today think they're over if they're not in the tabloids. It's like a drug.
I think celebrities today want to be in tabloids, but don't want to actually connect with fans. It's like, Take my picture, but don't talk to me.
LMP I'm the opposite. I don't want my picture in the paper, but I'll talk to you. I busted my ass putting these records out there, and I'd like to hear what people think of them!
Let's talk about your love life!
LMP [silence]
LMP I can tell you I have a lady crush.
On who?
LMP Lady Gaga.
Why, did you meet her recently?
LMP No, I saw her perform with Elton John, and she was lying across a piano and belting out these songs, and it was the coolest fucking thing. She seems intelligent. And I decided after that I had a lady crush.
Is it true that you are related to Oprah?
LMP She did an investigation and she said that yes, many, many years ago, a Presley and a Winfrey got together. People were sneaking around and doing stuff and, yes, we are connected as a result.
Does she feel like family when you see her?
LMP It does, actually. But I think she's like that with everyone. I call her Mama Moses and told her that I wanted her to adopt me.
So, Lady Gaga is your crush and Oprah is your adoptive mother?
LMP Exactly.
And Elvis is your dad.
LMP You got that?

organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Red is a bright, clean red pigment with average drying time. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Red has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Quinacridone Red has no known acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.

Good morning. I have 9 miles on the schedule today. I'm not sure when I'll get those done but I'll work it in somewhere.
DD turned her ankle coming down with a rebound in her game last night. The ankle didn't swell much until a couple hours after the injury so we aren't sure what we are dealing with. Off to the doctor's office this morning for x-rays. Fingers crossed that she hasn't finished her high school career a few weeks earlier than planned.
Finally PRed!!!
Scott: Great job with those hills yesterday! Hope you have a nice 9 today, and hope DD's ankle is okay and she can play the rest of the season.
SRD for me today. Have a great day, everyone!

Hey All,
coach was suppose to send me my training plan for the Woodlands full yesterday but I never got it. She'll have to send it today since there is nothing on the schedule for today and today is suppose to be speed work. But I'll change the speedwork to tomorrow since I have a lot more time. I'd like to see what she has for tomorrow so maybe I can get that done today. I don't know. We'll have to see. I did email her some concerns of mine like "why am I only runnin once a week." but she assured me I'll have more runnin in my schedule. All the cross training she has me doin is definately paying off. I went out for 8 miles at a 8:30-9m pace and had to slow down cause I was goin way too fast and it felt pretty easy.
Imnotscott - hope you're able to get your run in. sorry about dd. I hope it's nothign serious and she can continue on with playing sports
nottooswift - enjoy your rest day

My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
X-ray is negative but it is a pretty nasty sprain. Bad enough that she is on crutches. She will be out the rest of this week for sure. "Senior Night" is next Tuesday. She wants to be back for that but I have my doubts. She is very stubborn though so who knows. I'm heartbroken for her. As a four year varsity player (three year starter), this is not the way she wanted it to end.
fake it till you make it
I think I'm back from being nearly dead! Influenza turned to nasty cough that wouldn't quit- why does this stuff happen in the middle of a training cycle!? Managed to run yesterday and today without coughing out an entire lung, so I guess that's progress. Per Hansons, only easy running this week, then next week back into workouts.
Scott- Sorry to hear the sprain is a nasty one. I hope that's not the end of the season for her too- so heartbreaking at that age and for an athlete of her caliber. Nice job on that hill workout! I think you need an "I almost barfed" category for your log.
NTS enjoy the rest day!
CC- I'd probably want more than one day of running too, but then I don't cross train! Will be cool to see how it pans out for you to work with a coach. My running buddy and I were lamenting on this morning's run that the bummer with marathon plans is it takes a long time and decent race day conditions to decide if something is working or not, hard for those like me who are impatient.
Julia- nice pace on your medium run! We got fresh snow today- looks beautiful but I'm really chomping at the bit to get out and run fast outside with good footing and 10 pounds less layers on. Enjoy your new "fancy" channels!
JustBS I am in awe of your swimming time commitment. Glad you are enjoying it so much!
DR- I was telling my daughter about you yesterday. She has asthma & allergies and managed to run a 9 minute mile at school yesterday (she's 9 years old) without wheezing, she was so happy. She though it was so cool that "someone with asthma just like me!" runs marathons.
SIAR Dexter on the treadmill = awesome. Being on the treadmill long enough to fit in more than one episode = well, that's just tough. Good mental toughness training maybe? Nice work.
RVD- I am so sorry to hear about the hammy injury. That's just so frustrating.
Pressing- A run and later a bike/core brick workout is tapering!? Hard core!
Marco- hoping you have a better day today and can get some miles in.
Go figure
Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
I'm back online! I'm so happy I could cry. Or, maybe I want to cry because I have to go to work now. Bye for now...
Hi all! Getting ready to head to ds's school in a bit for volunteering. I'm taking my hand sanitizer with me! Then I'm off for group run. We're doing hill repeats today. Oh joy!
Scott - Oh no! Hope dd's injury heals quickly. That's a hard thing for a Senior to cope with. Much worse than one of us missing a key marathon because one really can't say there are more Senior years. Well, one hopes not. Good luck finding time for your 9 miles.
Swift - Happy Rest Day!
CC - Okay, I'd freak too if I was only running one day a week. I'm on a 3 day a week plan and I'm only now beginning to relax about it (kind of) as I'm seeing the cross-training doing a lot for me. It's hard to trust someone else. Hope you get your plan soon!
Julia - Oh yes, those service calls can be annoying. Is it perhaps the office calling and the service tech calling? Hurray for being back online!
JenRosie - Hurray for finally feeling good enough to run again. I am praying, praying, praying I don't catch that nasty bug in the next month with my two marathon's! It was a swim (my own idea, not on my plan)/bike/core yesterday so not as hard as if it were running. And it was only the first couple days of taper. I am sure I will be going much lower key from here on out.
SIAR - Good luck on your tm run again today. Hill sprints should help break up the boring factor.
Back from my run. I planned for this to be a recovery run but it just felt good to run faster than that. Most of the miles were at or below MP. I kept trying to make myself slow down but eventually I just gave up and went with it.
Jen - Welcome back! I'm sorry you were unable to run for so long. I'm sure that was frustrating! Have fun easing back into it.
SIAR - Sorry you were relegated to the TM again. At least you got to catch up on some TV time without feeling like a couch potato after!
Julia - Glad you are back on the grid. Sorry you had to go into the office after though. Good work on your MR today.
Pressing - I laughed at your hand sanitizer comment. I hope the hill repeats were as fun* for you as they were for me yesterday.
NTS - Enjoy the rest day.
CC - Yeah, only running once a week would be pretty weird but it sounds like you are happy with your progress. I guess you can't argue with results, right?
* - They weren't fun at all, but maybe if I tell myself that enough I'll start to believe it.
Bad Ass
Hi, guys. Too busy today, boo hiss. 10-14 miles today, most likely 10 since I have no time to run 14. Boo hiss. And sniff!
Have a nice day!

After more than a year of delays, a suburban Denver judge on Friday will hear whether the trial of Raymond Davis will proceed as planned next month. Davis is accused of causing back and other injuries to Jeffrey Maes in the Oct. 1, 2011, altercation.
Davis was held by Pakistani authorities in January 2011 after he shot and killed two men he said tried to rob him. Pakistan agreed to release Davis in March 2011 after the families agreed to accept more than $2 million.

Auburn's first "mini-scrimmage" of preseason practice turned out not be particularly "mini."
And what was expected to be a cool August morning - as if there ever was such a thing in east Alabama - turned out to be even less cool than usual.
AU's defense started out nearly as hot as the weather, stifling the offense for the first two-thirds of Wednesday's scrimmage. But as the plays mounted - 77 in all - and the heat index climbed, the defense started to tire. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

(a) General rule
(1) Payment to the corporation
A plan administrator satisfies section 1341 (b)(3)(A) of this title in the case of a missing participant only if the plan administrator—
(A) transfers the participant's designated benefit to the corporation or purchases an irrevocable commitment from an insurer in accordance with clause (i) of section 1341 (b)(3)(A) of this title, and
(2) Treatment of transferred assets
A transfer to the corporation under this section shall be treated as a transfer of assets from a terminated plan to the corporation as trustee, and shall be held with assets of terminated plans for which the corporation is trustee under section 1342 of this title, subject to the rules set forth in that section.
(3) Payment by the corporation
After a missing participant whose designated benefit was transferred to the corporation is located—
(A) in any case in which the plan could have distributed the benefit of the missing participant in a single sum without participant or spousal consent under section 1055 (g) of this title, the corporation shall pay the participant or beneficiary a single sum benefit equal to the designated benefit paid the corporation plus interest as specified by the corporation, and
(B) in any other case, the corporation shall pay a benefit based on the designated benefit and the assumptions prescribed by the corporation at the time that the corporation received the designated benefit.
The corporation shall make payments under subparagraph (B) available in the same forms and at the same times as a guaranteed benefit under section 1322 of this title would be available to be paid, except that the corporation may make a benefit available in the form of a single sum if the plan provided a single sum benefit (other than a single sum described in subsection (b)(2)(A) of this section).
(b) Definitions
For purposes of this section—
(1) Missing participant
The term "missing participant" means a participant or beneficiary under a terminating plan whom the plan administrator cannot locate after a diligent search.

(A) under the plan's assumptions, in the case of a distribution that can be made without participant or spousal consent under section 1055 (g) of this title;
(B) under the assumptions of the corporation in effect on the date that the designated benefit is transferred to the corporation, in the case of a plan that does not pay any single sums other than those described in subparagraph (A); or
(c) Multiemployer plans
The corporation shall prescribe rules similar to the rules in subsection (a) for multiemployer plans covered by this subchapter that terminate under section 1341a of this title.
(d) Plans not otherwise subject to subchapter
(1) Transfer to corporation
The plan administrator of a plan described in paragraph (4) may elect to transfer a missing participant's benefits to the corporation upon termination of the plan.
(2) Information to the corporation
To the extent provided in regulations, the plan administrator of a plan described in paragraph (4) shall, upon termination of the plan, provide the corporation information with respect to benefits of a missing participant if the plan transfers such benefits—
(3) Payment by the corporation
If benefits of a missing participant were transferred to the corporation under paragraph (1), the corporation shall, upon location of the participant or beneficiary, pay to the participant or beneficiary the amount transferred (or the appropriate survivor benefit) either—
(4) Plans described
A plan is described in this paragraph if—
(A) the plan is a pension plan (within the meaning of section 1002 (2) of this title)—
(ii) which is not a plan described in paragraph (2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), or (11) of section 1321 (b) of this title, and
(e) Regulatory authority
The corporation shall prescribe such regulations as are necessary to carry out the purposes of this section, including rules relating to what will be considered a diligent search, the amount payable to the corporation, and the amount to be paid by the corporation.
