Four former lab workers captured on a video as they interacted with dogs, cats and rabbits at a testing lab in Gates County have been indicted on felony animal cruelty charges.
Gates County District Attorney Frank Parrish said Christine Clement and Tracy Small were indicted on two counts each of cruelty to animals, while Jessica Detty and Mary Ramsey were each indicted on five counts of the same charge. Parrish said the grand jury handed down the indictments Tuesday.
The charges follow the release of a videotape provided by an undercover PETA worker that showed animals being hit, kicked and thrown.
Messages left for the four workers were not immediately returned Wednesday.
PETA lab investigator Kathy Guillermo called it a groundbreaking case for animal rights.

Freezing rain is one of the components of Wednesday's weather that could have the most serious impact on people because of power outages.
Generally, a quarter-inch of ice accumulation and higher can lead to power outages. A quarter-inch of ice adds 500 pounds of weight to a power line.
Isolated power outages possible in inland counties in Eastern Carolina Wednesday afternoon and evening, though the threat is much greater along I-95 and points west. People traveling to Raleigh from Eastern Carolina could run into icy roads.
One way to stay informed during power outages is using the free WITN app for your smartphone or tablet. Another free app is Syncbak, which allows you to watch WITN newscasts anytime from your smartphone or tablet. For more information on Syncbak, click here.

Recent reviews from patients:
"Impressed with office decor and competence of staff and doctor."
"...I by chance spoke to a complete stranger who raved about Dr. Kasparek. I made the appointment and am very pleased. So much so I brought my teenage daughter for her first exam."
"I think the doctor and staff really take care of their patients and regret I did not find this facility sooner."
"I love Dr. Kasparek and her office staff. This is my first pregnancy and I must say they are very caring and always available if I have any questions. The office is warm and pleasant and every visit I always feel like I am with family. to me that is what being a good doctor is all about. I never feel like I am in a doctors office, I feel like I'm at home, that atmosphere is soothing and relaxing.To all new mothers in the johns creek area, I highly recommend this practice."
" I am new to the area and was referred to you by another patient. I am glad I was, your appointments are reasonable and office and staff are nice"
"I had a very positive experience with Dr. Kasparek and the staff. Everyone was professional and made me feel comfortable and confident that my well-being was important. Thanks for accepting me as a patient."
"I love this office!!! I first came here when I was pregnant with my now 2-year-old son and I was under the care of Dr. Kasparek. She is awesome!!Due to certain circumstances we weren't able to have our son under her care. My husband and I were so devastated. But now that I'm pregnant with my Daughter, I wouldn't go to any other OB/GYN! Now we're under the care of Valerie, and she's just as great and efficient as Dr. Kasparek! Whenever we go to the office we always feel so comfortable and welcomed. I talk about them all the time to my co-workers, family, and friends; I can't rave about this office enough. This is one office that even if I lived in another state, I'd only come to see them!"
"We had a wonderful experience with our pregnancy! What an experience to have such personal care and concern from this office. We just love Valerie (midwife). She did such a great job and was so caring and wonderful. She is like part of our family. Dr. Kasperek was a rock. Always there when you need her. All the staff were truly amazing. I highly recommend CWHC!"
"I am very pleased with the attentiveness in your practice. You listen and take time with your patient's needs. I find that rare."

BOISE -- The Idaho Stampede had a special guest at their practice Friday morning.
Nine-year-old Adam, who was diagnosed with leukemia, was invited to join the Stampede at the practice before their big game against the Reno Bighorns Friday night. Adam met the Stampede players, warmed up with the team, and got his picture taken with a few of his new towering teammates.
The Idaho Stampede is teaming up with Bank of the Cascades for its annual Swishes for Wishes campaign, which raises money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Idaho. For each three-pointer made by the Stampede this season, Bank of the Cascades will donate $10 to the foundation, which helps grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
In addition to helping the team practice, Adam learned that his wish to visit a space museum will be granted. He and his family of six will be traveling to Florida in March to tour NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center. They will also make a stop at Disney World! To top off Adam's day, Flatbread Pizza even surprised Adam with lunch and a hardcover book all about his favorite topic -- space.
Adam and his family will be guests of honor at the second to last Idaho Stampede game of the season on April 6. At that game, it will be revealed how much money the team was able to earn for Make-A-Wish with their three-pointers and the Swishes for Wishes program.

Expansion comes as Delta Air Lines cuts back on global flights due to fuel prices
ATLANTA The new $1.4 billion international terminal at the world's busiest airport will be a sleek launchpad for millions of passengers that's designed to help Atlanta grab a growing share of the lucrative market for global travelers.
Its wavy lines, expansive windows and eye-catching artwork offer a stark contrast to the boxy design of the rest of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Airport managers are already expecting an increase in international travelers over the next decade, and they hope the terminal set to open May 16 will convince airlines to route even more of their overseas flights through the city.
"This is America's new global gateway. It gives international passengers their own facility and it creates a new front door for the airport," said Al Snedeker, the airport's spokesman.
It was first proposed in 2000 to accommodate the expected surge of international travelers. The airport handled almost 10 million international passengers last year, and the Federal Aviation Administration predicts that number will grow to more than 13 million international passengers by 2015.
The project is the biggest expansion at the airport in more than 15 years. It's taken four years to build and is so vast workers built a new entrance on a busy interstate highway.
It's coming to fruition at a time when Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, the airport's biggest user, is cutting back slightly on international flights amid rising fuel prices. But neither airport officials nor airline executives expect it to have more than a short-term effect.
"The international terminal is a long-term asset that we see as a foundation for the long-term growth at our number one international gateway," said Trebor Banstetter, a Delta spokesman. "It gives us a world-class facility for our customers."
Walking into the light-filled terminal, passengers won't fail to notice broad glass windows along every wall that allows them to watch planes lift off from the airport's five runways as they check their bags. The building, unlike the older terminal, features separate levels for arriving and departing travelers to help untangle the traffic outside.
Behind the security checkpoint is the second phase of the project: A new concourse with 12 gates for international flights, giving the airport a total of 40 international gates. That's enough to allow Delta and other carriers to offer new routes while relieving some of the strain on the airport's other five concourses.
The facility is designed to give jet-lagged passengers a place where they don't mind waiting out a flight delay, turning an airport visit from chaotic to calming. Travelers will be able to dine on organic burgers or tapas at restaurants in the concourse. Artwork includes a crystal chandelier that hangs over the concourse's sun-splashed atrium and another installation that plays soothing music for weary travelers as they file off a plane.
Workers spent months digging a 90-foot trench under an existing concourse to extend the airport's internal subway system to the new facility. Another popular feature will be a new system that ends the baggage recheck process for Atlanta-bound international travelers, who previously had to relinquish their bags after clearing customs and then wait for them again at baggage claim.
About $1 billion of the expansion is funded by municipal bonds that would be repaid by passenger fees, and the remaining $400 million was picked up by the airlines. The changes are helping Atlanta keep up with other major international airports.
Beijing's airport, the second-busiest on the planet, completed an expansion that included a third runway and a colossal glass-and-steel terminal in time for the 2008 Olympics. And Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, the world's third-busiest, is undergoing a $15 billion expansion that will add a new runway and other upgrades.
"If Atlanta and Delta are going to compete on the global stage, you need that new terminal," airline analyst Michael Boyd said. Atlanta and its U.S. rivals are seeking to position themselves as way stations on long routes between cities on separate continents, according to Boyd.
"The future is going to be which of the airline connecting hubs become global portals that not just take people to and from Atlanta, but take people from Buenos Aires to Shanghai through Atlanta," he said.

RISMEDIA, July 27, 2007—(MCT)—Allstate withdrew its proposed 6.9% statewide increase in homeowners rates on Wednesday after the Texas Department of Insurance signaled that it wouldn't approve rates.
The increase would have gone into effect as policies came up for renewal.
"We had some concerns and they decided it would be better to withdraw and address those concerns," Jerry Hagins, a department spokesman said.
He said it would be premature for the department to discuss the questions because regulators are still reviewing the rates with the company.
"We want to make sure the rates are fair and not excessive," Hagins said. "That's about all we can really say, is they chose to withdraw."
Allstate spokesman Joe McCormick said the company withdrew the rates to give the department more time to review the proposal and discuss questions it had about the rates. Allstate will resubmit rates as soon as those questions are resolved, he said.
"We're committed to having very accurate rates and rates that accurately reflect the risk involved," he said. "I don't have any particular details about the area where there are issues."
McCormick said he wasn't aware that the department deemed its rates as being too high.
"With any rate change, there are complexities to it and there are questions that come up," he said.
Allstate, which has about 750,000 policyholders in the state, stopped writing new homeowners business in some Texas coastal areas in March 2006. Allstate said it needed the recently proposed rate increase because of rising construction costs and the cost of reinsurance, or insurance the company buys for itself to cover claims in the event of a catastrophe.
Earlier this year, a state district judge in Travis County ordered Allstate to refund $56 million in premiums to policyholders stemming from overcharges collected in 2004 and 2005.
Allstate has appealed that decision.
Allstate raised rates in 2006 a statewide average of 5.6% to pay for $75 million in reinsurance costs.
Last week, Farmers Insurance withdrew a statewide average rate increase of 6.6% in response to word that the state would likely reject the rate request.

Finance committee recommends keeping public safety services localBy: By Carol R. Percy News Messenger Reporter
Know and Go: The finance committee's recommendation not to contract out public safety will be discussed at Tuesday's City Council meeting. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at McBean Park Pavilion on 65 McBean Drive.
The cliché, "you could hear a pin drop," came to mind as Lincoln's finance committee members weighed in on the subject of whether to keep public safety employees local or contract out to county and state entities.
When the finance committee, comprised of City Council members Spencer Short and Peter Gilbert, and Lincoln treasurer Terrence Dorsey, met at City Hall Monday to discuss financial issues vital to Lincoln's future well-being, the big question for many in the council room was, "Would we keep our public safety employees in Lincoln or contract them out to CDF and the Placer County Sheriff's department?
There was an audible sigh of relief among the approximately 15 audience members, which included city staff, public safety representatives, press and the public, when Short announced the committee's unanimous vote. That vote was to recommend to City Council that safety services remain under the city's control.
The vote reflected a resounding support for local police services and strong support for fire, Short said.
Treasurer Dorsey said that the city hasn't experienced a crime wave and the Lincoln Police Department "has done a wonderful job," even with a reduced force.
"I see no reason to lose control (of our public services) to spend more money on contracted services," Dorsey said.
Councilman Peter Gilbert added that he has "a problem giving up the capability to have a chief of police who would provide police services in a way the community wanted it."
In the wake of massive city employee lay-offs and an $8 to 9 million price tag for a reduced force for police and fire safety, contracting out employees seemed to fiscal sustainability committee members and supporters an eminently viable alternative to keeping public safety staff in Lincoln.
But finance committee members and public safety representatives voiced concerns Tuesday about the city paying more for contracts (a reported $1 to 1 ½ million) and at the same time losing control of city services.
Some of the issues cited Tuesday against contracting were extended response times for emergency calls, loss of local "flavor" when services were merged with larger departments and payment of steep fees to contract out services.
Paul Shelgren, Lincoln's interim Chief of Police, said he "was pleased with the committee's recommendation to keep services in city."
"It's best for the city and the department. Hopefully when this goes to the full council, they'll agree that staying with the Lincoln Police Department is best for the community and the city," Shelgren said.
Lincoln Police Department officers have a vested interest in Lincoln, not only because it's their job but because it's their hometown, according to Shelgren.
"Most of our officers live in Lincoln. Their kids go to school here, play sports here," Shelgren said. "They care about what happens here in Lincoln and that helps them do a better job when they're looking after their own hometown. They're providing services to their friends and neighbors."
After hearing about the cost-benefit analysis for public safety, Lincoln's interim Fire Chief Mike Davis said that it "was encouraging" to see the finance committee vote to maintain local control of Lincoln's police and fire departments.
"Our firefighters are by nature very resourceful," Davis said, "and we've done an excellent job of maintaining service levels during this economically challenging time where budgets and positions have been impacted."
When queried about where he stood on the question of "to contract or not to contract" Lincoln Mayor Stan Nader said, "I would like to reserve my comments to when the full council discusses the matter."

The idea of forcing Congress to wear NASCAR-style coveralls with the logos of their financial backers has been bandied about before, but now there's an official White House petition. The petition reads:
Since most politicians' campaigns are largely funded by wealthy companies and individuals, it would give voters a better sense of who the candidate they are voting for is actually representing if the company's logo, or individual's name, was prominently displayed upon the candidate's clothing at all public appearances and campaign events. Once elected, the candidate would be required to continue to wear those "sponsor's" names during all official duties and visits to constituents. The size of a logo or name would vary with the size of a donation. For example, a $1 million dollar contribution would warrant a patch of about 4″ by 8″ on the chest, while a free meal from a lobbyist would be represented by a quarter-sized button. Individual donations under $1000 are exempt.
This is a brilliant idea! Sign the petition.

Sipping cocktails at the new Azul 17
When I first heard a high-end Mexican restaurant and lounge named Azul 17 had opened in Columbia, I couldn't help but scratch my head.
A fancy lounge? In a strip mall? In Columbia?
Yes. And guess what? It's a hit.
When Amie and I paid Azul 17 a visit on a recent Saturday night, there was barely a seat left in the place. The line for tables was nearly out the door at 8:30 p.m. We bee-lined for the bar area, and snagged the last two open seats.
Azul 17 is split into two sections -- a long, semi-narrow dining room and a square-shaped adjacent bar.
Owners Julio and Lily Soto must have pulled out all the stops: The chairs in the bar appeared to be made of white leather and the back-lit bar glowed different colors over the course of the night, while Latin house music pumped through the speakers. I don't think I've ever seen a trendier spot in Columbia.
Azul 17's only stumble decor-wise were the long white drapes, which covered the windows and looked tacky from the outside.
As stylish as a high-end lounge might be, substance is always going to win out in the end. Snazzy decor and fancy furniture don't trump good service and well-made drinks. And Azul 17 came through ...
Azul 17's drink menu is a whopping six pages, complete with a page-long introduction which dispels tequila myths and describes the proper way to drink tequila.
There are plenty to practice on, too: I counted more than 100 different tequilas on their list. Add to that the 17 signature cocktails, 17 signature margaritas, 38 wines and 30-some beers and you've got oodles of options.
I opted for La Raspa ($11), a fiery margarita made with Milagro Silver tequila and lulo nectar and garnished with a Serrano pepper boat and fresh lime with a Chile pequin rim.
Believe it or not, the margarita wasn't that peppery -- until I got greedy and nibbled at the end of the Serrano pepper. That set the drink (and my mouth) ablaze. I kept sipping to cool down my mouth, but the margarita only made it hotter. Yowsa!
Amie ordered a Latin-American classic: The mojito ($9). Served in a tall, thin glass with plenty of fresh lime and Bacardi rum, Azul 17's mojito was crisp and citrusy -- but not worth $9.
It's good to see a high-end lounge prospering in a recession, in a strip mall, in the suburbs. It's clear the Sotos know their market well. Azul 17 has a bright future ahead of it.

Quebec's legislation, which outlines how terminally ill patients can end their lives with medical help became law on Dec. 10
Gascon has been a Quebec Court of Appeal judge since 2012, prior to which he spent 10 years as a member of the Quebec Superior Court
If Quebec honestly and truly believes that the long-gun registry is a matter of public safety, they need to do the right thing and start from scratch.
A recent Quebec Court of Appeals ruling effectively means that Canada will be stuck with a process for selecting senators of which only 8% of Canadians approve
Couillard won his party's leadership after campaigning for change, notably by showing more consideration for Canada. Now he reverts to the extremism of his predecessors, refusing to recognize the 1982 Constitution Act.
Even though they now have the legal right to delete the data, the federal government should hold off until a final legal ruling is reached. It's the honourable thing to do.
If Quebec really wants a gun registry, it should create one, from scratch, using the lessons learned through the painful, needlessly complex experience of the late federal version.

A Philadelphia row house has collapsed and police say six people are injured.
The collapse happened late Monday morning in the middle of a block of connected brick homes. Police say witnesses report hearing an explosion.
Bricks showered onto the small south Philadelphia street and nearly cover a car parked out front. The houses on either side of the destroyed home are partly standing but a Philadelphia police department spokeswoman says they have been badly damaged.
Gas and electrical utility crews are trying to determine what caused the collapse. Rescue crews are combing through the rubble to see if anyone else may be trapped.
The area is being evacuated.

Can cryptocornes go bare root?
I have/had a potted cryptocorne plant. I want to get it out of the pot its in because it's just really ugly. It's not doing so hot either and getting some yellow leaves which I just trimmed off. I have been rinsing as much of the dirt off the roots as possible but now I'm curious if this thing can even go bareroot or if I just gave it a death sentence. All I really have is marbles in the tank and a couple of other bareroot plants (they are doing good so far, grass and java fern I believe). If it CAN go bareroot can I trim some of these roots back as they are really rather long. Thanks in advance!
I would plant it in some form of substrate, which can be sand, fine gravel, or enriched (Flourite, ADA, soil, etc). Expect the exisiting leaves to melt, as you have disturbed the roots. Most crypts will melt when disturbed. Leave the roots alone (after replanting) and it should recover.
As for leaving the roots unplanted, I've never done this with a crypt nor have I read of anyone who has, but I would expect the plant to melt and perhaps die completely. These species all grow in iron-rich clays and sands, they are amphibious bog plants, and they develop extensive root systems--as you've noticed.
Java Fern is quite a different matter, as it should not be buried or the rhizome can rot. It grows best above the substrate, such as attached to wood or rock, or just on the surface of the substrate.
Yeah, after doing some research I learned about the melt. Which its going through right now. That's good to know about the Java fern. Perhaps when the crypt dies (which I'm sure will happen) I will replace it with a Java. Thank you so much for your time and advice!

House panel hears bill to block Common Core standards
Friday, February 21, 2014
Missouri's Teacher of the Year defended the state's new education standards to a House panel Thursday, saying the Common Core standards would help prepare students for today's world.
A House education committee's hearing focused on legislation that would bar the state from implementing the new standards unless the Legislature passes a measure to adopt them. The Missouri State Board of Education voted to adopt the standards in 2010.
Jamie Manker, a social studies teacher at the suburban St. Louis Rockwood Summit High, dismissed the bill sponsor's concerns that the new standards would take decisions on curriculum away from local school boards.
"It doesn't tell me what to teach, what book or what history lesson," she said. "They help me to try to always keep in mind not what I want to teach, but what my students need to learn."
Missouri students are scheduled to take Common Core-aligned tests this fall. The new benchmarks for reading, writing and math replace a hodgepodge of educational goals that had varied greatly from state to state.
Sponsoring Rep. Kurt Bahr said the Legislature should have been consulted on implementing the standards, which most other states have adopted.
"If these new untested, unproven standards fail Missouri won't be the only one to suffer, the entire nation will suffer," said Bahr, R-St. Charles.
The debate has heated up in the House during the past few days. On Wednesday, an education funding panel appropriated $8 for "two rolls of high density aluminum to create headgear designed to deflect drone and/or black helicopter mind reading and control technology."
That amendment, put forward by retired teacher and Rep. Mike Lair, R-Chillicothe, was partly a joke, but also meant to make a point about paranoia surrounding the new standards.
One opponent of the Common Core standards said Bahr's bill wouldn't go far enough and would fail to stop the standards' implementation. Former Republican state Sen. Jane Cunningham said education officials could change the name of the standards or have them swept under the rug to get around the legislation.
The House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee took no further action on Bahr's legislation, but the committee's chairman said it would vote on the bill next week.

Introducing its latest device the iPhone 4, Apple has once again made a significant mark and has certainly witnessed the era of a new mobile phone generation. Everything has changed along with this and the best phone for business has worn a better dress! This device is equipped with an LED-backlit IPS TFT capacitive touch screen which operates with 16 million colors and a screen which widens up to 3.5 inches.
This fabulous device which can be tagged as multitasking has provided consumers with an internal storage of 16/32 GB and a 512MB RAM which is designed for the kill. Users are able to enjoy clear phone call using its built-in noise suppression feature. Furthermore, this device is powered by iOS4 and is equipped with a 1GHz Apple i4 processor which is simply mind blowing.
But, it is important to mention that the camera of the Apple iPhone 4 has been quite outstanding. Boasting of a 5MP picture quality coupled with built-in LED flash beautiful and more appealing snapshots are on the way. It also has an HD video recording feature and added qualities like touch focus as well as geo-tagging. Even though the lighting conditions may be very poor it is not an issue with the iPhone 4 which uses its advanced backside illumination sensor.
This is a device which is studded with some appealing features like the Apple FaceTime which boasts of high quality video calling. It also comes with the access of a 3.5mm audio jack which has actually taken music beyond horizons. Furthermore, Apple's most appealing quality, the Safari is at full stretch with this device providing a widened browsing experience to users which has actually made it a top class streamer.
When the above features boast of its quality some other flavors like GPS, AirPrint that makes printing reliastic and AirPlay that turns wireless streaming into a reality have made the iPhone certainly a challenging target for many contenders. So, it can be stated as a premiere consumer choice which is placed at a very high level.
An iPhone 4 with no credit check does not exist on contract. This is because no credit check mobile phones are only available on PAYG and SIM Free, and the iPhone is quite expensive. Unfortunately, every shop and network performs a credit check of some sort. However, you can get a bad credit iPhone 4. Believe it or not, you can still get accepted for a mobile phone contract with a network even if you have a bad credit history. Follow the tips on our homepage.
Note: We strongly suggest you do not apply for the iPhone 4 if your credit history is really bad. Instead, follow the tips on our homepage and apply for a similar but cheaper alternative. This will greatly increase your chances of being approved.
