LOS ANGELES (AP) - A police spokesman in Los Angeles says SWAT officers have entered a Nordstrom Rack clothing store where at least one woman was believed kept hostage during an armed robbery.
Fourteen people who had been inside the store at the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center in Westchester are safe.
City News Service says the robbery was reported just after 11 p.m. Thursday. The initial call indicated that a female hostage may have been taken, a desk officer at the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Station said. No other information was immediately available.
TV news footage from the scene shows SWAT trucks on hand surrounding the outdoor shopping center and movie theater. Movie goers told news outlets they were held in lockdown in the theaters because of the robbery and then evacuated.

Stillwater, OK (Sports Network) - Kansas came into the contest seeking revenge
against the team that broke its lengthy home-winning streak, and by the time
it was over, they accomplished its goal.
In a double-overtime thriller, Naadir Tharpe's floater proved to be the
difference as the No. 9 Jayhawks returned the favor by downing 14th-ranked
Oklahoma State on its home court, 68-67, in a pivotal matchup for top
positioning in the Big 12 conference.
Despite missing its first seven shots in the extra sessions, Kansas (22-4,
10-3 Big 12) trailed by just one before Tharpe's tear-drop floater with 20
seconds remaining in the second OT put the visitors on top by one.
The Cowboys (19-6, 9-4) had two chances on their final possession, but Markel
Brown's jumper misfired and Phil Forte, after grabbing the offensive rebound,
turned it over as Oklahoma State saw its seven-game winning streak come to an

Hello Friends,
Has it really been 70 years? In honor of my dad's 70th birthday which would have been December 21st 2010, we are celebrating with a special Dweezil/Zappa Plays Zappa musical tour in the fall 2010. One day is not enough so we are extending the birthday festivities from November through December.
Not only we will be performing with him once again via the technological wonderment of enhanced video during live performance but we will also be performing the works from one of his most well known albums. That's right, Apostrophe ('), played in it's album running order. It's always been one of my favorites and it's certainly a fan favorite as well.
And, but, also we will be adding more new material that has not yet performed by us as a band on any previous tour. More textures, more tunes, more aural excitement! Come help us celebrate starting in November.
Regards, DZ

Hello Everyone,
We've been snowed in! We played our show in Lake Tahoe last night. Before the show it started snowing quite a bit. One fan said he totaled his truck on his way to the gig. He had a the tow truck driver drop him at the gig. That's some nice dedication!
The show was fun, the crowd was young and there were a few folks who definitely needed to get a room in the front row. They caused a bit of a scene and were a source of entertainment for the band all night.
By the time we finished our show and loaded our gear the police had closed all the roads. Only vehicles with chains could pass. A tour bus towing a trailer full of gear has no business on icy roads. Unfortunately that means we cannot play our show in Eugene. We are currently looking at options to reschedule ASAP. I will keep you posted. Fingers crossed the weather allows us to get to our next gig in Spokane. We now have to drive through Boise to get there.
On the road again...
Hello Everyone,
We just completed our show in Austin. We played at Stubbs which is a BBQ restaurant with a nice outdoor venue attached. The crowd was very enthusiastic and there were a lot of youngsters out there. I even met and held an 11 month old who came with his parents to check out the show. He was wearing some serious ear muffs for protection.
The real highlight for me was being able to share the stage with one of my favorite guitarists on the planet, Eric Johnson. He joined us for Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy and Muffin Man. I play his signature Stratocasters on tour and it was a real thrill to have him up there with us.
We played a lot of new songs tonight. I always get a little nervous when we play new stuff. I had a few glitches on some of the new ones because I stepped on the some of the wrong buttons and got the wrong sounds here or there. I'll be sure to improve my tap dancing over the next few days. Overall I thought we managed the new tunes well. They will keep getting better as the tour progresses. That's just how it goes on the road.
In any case, there was a fun and spontaneous feel to the show tonight and we'd love to come back to Austin anytime. Good night Austin Texas wherever you are...
Regards, DZ
Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since I've had a chance to catch up with you. I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in Austin Texas. We begin our 12 show Fall tour here tomorrow night. We had a chance to rehearse some new songs last week. They are all from different eras. We will be playing at least 8 new songs we haven't played on any other tour. We have a few more we'll keep working on at sound checks.
Which ones are they? You'll all find out after the setlist gets posted tomorrow. Here's a hint though, a few highly requested numbers from Joe's Garage, an instrumental classic from the Helsinki concert, a special FZ arrangement of a song from Reuben And The Jets, another little something from Chunga's Revenge and a couple of other things to boot.
On another topic, I'm sure many of you are concerned about the status of the YCFOSA Downloads. They have obviously been marred by some snafus along the way but that doesn't mean they won't get finished. They will and they will sound every bit as good as the Chicago show you all have. Many people have suggested that I just deliver FOH reference mixes and be done with it. I think that would be a mistake and the inferior sound would further spoil the experience for everyone. I'm not interested in that. At this point it is just me working on all of this stuff and I'm heading into a period of time in between tours where I will be able to really get a lot done.
Once again I apologize for the lengthy delays and I appreciate your patience.
See you on the road.
Regards, DZ
Please note that the show originally scheduled for November 5th in Montclair, NJ has been rescheduled for January 16th 2010.
Hello Everyone,
We're half way through the Progressive Nation tour with Dream Theater and I thought you all might like an update from the road. Mike Portnoy (The Drummer from Dream Theater) created the Progressive Nation tour a few years ago. This year he really wanted us to be a part of it and I thought it would a great way to play for an almost entirely new audience.
Mike has been at the side of the stage every night watching our shows. When we look over and see him he's like a kid in a candy store on Christmas day with 10 extra birthday presents and... but... also... a new car! We've invited him onstage with us a few times. He sang Bobby Brown and played Willie The Pimp in NYC and last night in Toronto he sang Bobby Brown again. It was also a good opportunity to display his FZ mustache tattoo on his leg to the audience via video on the big screen monitors out front. For his stalwart audience he is the effulgent ambassador of Frank's music.
We've certainly done our part as well. The band has played many fine shows on this tour. Even though our time on stage is shorter than our typical headline shows we've been making a great impact. I know we have successfully cultivated new fans on this tour. That was the goal.
Many people were skeptical about whether Frank's music would play to a progressive metal audience. We have demonstrated that it can and does. Our proof is the multiple standing ovations we receive during our shows. I have always believed that Frank's music just needs exposure. I think it can be accepted by any audience especially when they have the opportunity to see it performed live. As you know there is nothing like it.
Slightly off topic but worth mentioning, once again the audience in Montreal has proven their prowess. We played in an arena there and it was quite thrilling to see Frank's music go over in such a big way, in such a big venue. Merci Beaucoup!
That's all for now, see you at the next show!
Regards, DZ
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
Summer time is here and I'm sure many of you have rousing and arresting plans. If your entire summer isn't completely booked yet and you find yourself in need of a "music transfusion" perhaps you would like to visit Zappa Plays Zappa on the Progressive Nation summer tour. It's an exciting multi-act tour founded by Mike Portnoy, the drummer from Dream Theater. The concert will feature Zappa Plays Zappa, and of course, headlines Dream Theater.
Mike is a self-confessed hardcore Frank Zappa fan and he has come to several of our shows in the New York area. We were very pleased to be asked to join the impressive line up of the Progressive Nation tour. I'm personally looking forward to the opportunity to introduce Frank's music to any and all with open ears.
Our setlist will change nightly and will be 75 minutes in length. We also have three Zappa Plays Zappa Headline shows 'interspersed' throughout the tour. Keep your eyes open for any additional Headline shows that might get added.
We hope to see you at the shows!
Regards, DZ

Hello Everyone,
After reading the postings from the Pittsburgh show regarding the venue I wanted to take this opportunity to add some clarity to the situation and assure you that we care a great deal about your experiences at our shows. It is clear that some of you had a disappointing experience because of the nature of the venue. I can understand your disappointment and I apologize for the fact that the venue was not suitable for offering clear views to all paying customers. This was not in any way something that ZPZ had intended to happen.
We have a very professional team that helps us put on these shows. From the initial booking logistics to the day of show logistics with our crew. As you know we were originally scheduled to perform at the REX. Then 2 weeks ago our booking agent received a request of venue change by the promoter. We were assured as we always are that the venue would meet our performance requirements. We don't have the luxury of visiting the venues prior to booking our shows. We have to rely on the promoter's representations and reputation. It is normal for promoters to represent their venues as being suitable and properly equipped for our performance needs because 98% of the time they are. In Pittsburgh this was clearly not the case.
The promoter notified us that he could not do the show at the REX because of roof damage incurred during a storm and that the Rex was being closed until it is safe. He suggested that we play the Diesel instead because it is close to the Rex and is in fact the only other venue in Pittsburgh of comparable size. He also assured us that the Diesel had stage and production facilities that would easily accommodate ZPZ. At the time we had no reason to distrust the promoter and our only alternative to playing the Diesel would have been to cancel the show altogether. So, we agreed to move the show.
It was only when we all arrived on the morning of the show and saw the inside of the room that we realized the promoter was horribly mistaken. Not only was the venue inappropriate for us to play in, but the stage was literally unsafe and could not hold our gear. Our crew - an exceptional one at that - determined that house stage was an accident waiting to happen. They did not want to risk setting up the gear for fear of it collapsing. We had limited options at this point. Remove the stage and set up on the floor or cancel the show. We chose to strike the stage and set up on the floor so we could still perform the show.
During the performance many people had unprecedented up close and personal viewing of the show from literally 3 feet away while many others had obscured views or no view whatsoever. All venues are different and have good and bad vantage points but the Pittsburg mismatch was beyond comparison and totally unacceptable considering all of the fans paid the same price for admission. What is the solution?
I am pleased to offer free tickets to all of the fans in Pittsburg who feel that they have unfairly paid for a show that they had no way of physically seeing once they were inside the venue. This really refers predominately to the fans packed rows deep upstairs, on the stairs and the outer hallway areas. I recommend that you post your name and contact information on the Pittsburgh review section of the ZPZ site if you feel you qualify for this would and be interested in a free ticket for the next Pittsburgh show.
The next time we play in Pittsburg you will have guaranteed free entry. Please retain your ticket stub from the Diesel show.
I hope that this gesture of goodwill will be a positive step towards improving your recent ZPZ experience.
We hope to see you again soon, Pittsburg.
Regards, DZ, ZPZ and Crew

Global logistics: Crowley acquires Puerto Rico Freight Systems
July 05, 2011
Crowley Maritime Corporation, a provider of ocean cargo transportation services, recently announced it has acquired the business and assets of Puerto Rico Freight Systems (PRFS), a provider of freight consolidation and less-than-container load (LCL) transportation services in the Caribbean.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Crowley officials said that PRFS will be integrated into Crowley Caribbean Logistics LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Crowley. PRFS, according to Crowley, has 46 employees, and the company coordinates shipments from Europe, Central, and South America, Asia, and the U.S. to Puerto Rico and more than 19 locations throughout the Caribbean basin.
Types of services provided by PRFS include pick-up service throughout Puerto Rico for LCL and full container load (FCL) shipments and one-carrier responsibility for all Caribbean destinations, said Crowley, among other services. PRFS also serves as a Non-Vessel Operating Cargo Carrier and freight consolidator in Puerto Rico. PRFS was founded in 1985.
This acquisition is part of Crowley's Caribbean strategy by encompassing its current Puerto Rico operations and blend them in with additional capabilities from the island as well as from the U.S.," a Crowley spokesman told LM, adding that it provides customers with an additional dimension and a new offering to its current suite of services."
Crowley officials also said that this deal will benefit Puerto Rico-based manufacturers looking to export goods and Caribbean-based customers looking for Puerto Rico suppliers, along with offering them more access to competitive sources.
"This acquisition positions Crowley above and beyond the current capability of any competitor in Puerto Rico," the Crowley spokesman said. "Crowley has the capability to provide Liner services, LTL cargo consolidations, warehouse distribution services, Trucking, Cargo clearances, Airfreight, South bound FCL and LTL cargo to the Eastern Caribbean and South America, NB LTL cargo consolidations from Puerto Rico to the U.S. No other competitor can offer these same services under one company name."
This marks the third acquisition Crowley has made in the last year. In September, Crowley acquired Islandwide Air and Ocean, and in January it acquired Jarvis Freight International.

"Discovery and Innovation for National Security" is the theme of the fifth annual NNSA Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Symposium set for June 12 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS Center) in Washington, D.C.The symposium will feature highlights of game-changing, mission-relevant research supported by the LDRD Program from throughout the enterprise. Emphasis will be on scientific discovery and technological innovation that benefits DOE and NNSA missions of national security. Technical topics will include adiabatic quantum architectures; sensing and modeling for national security; uncertainty quantification for science-based stockpile stewardship; and optical velocimetry for nuclear security.The symposium features LDRD technology advancements from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories. It also includes research, development, and demonstration projects from the Site Directed Research and Development Program at Nevada National Security Site, and from the Plant Directed Research and Development Program at the NNSA plants. NNSA researchers will provide briefings and a poster session at noon.Dr. Victor Reis, Senior Advisor in the Office of the Secretary, will lead a panel discussion on discovery and innovation issues for national security. Keynote presenters will include Neile L. Miller, NNSA Principal Deputy Administrator; Charles V. Shank, Senior Fellow, Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Former Director, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Norman R.

A conservation garden that features a rare, endangered plant native to the Savannah River Site (SRS) was dedicated today at the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility in celebration of Earth Day last week. The MOX Conservation Garden is located at the entrance of the MOX project's administration building and was established to promote the preservation and awareness of a federally endangered plant species, the smooth purple coneflower. The MOX administrative building, where the conservation garden is located, is certified as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold building. The building is the first at SRS to be LEED Gold Certified. Two additional buildings of the MOX project will pursue certification.
Other SRS plant species in the conservation garden include scaly blazing star, sky-blue lupine and beargrass. Another unique feature of the garden are the stone that were created from cobblestones collected near the MOX construction site that were deposited by high-energy rivers more than 10 million years ago.
Nearly 100 sons and daughters of DOE and NNSA employees participated in today's "Bring our Daughters and Sons to Work" day. The event is geared for children to see what their parents do when at work, and it is also is intended to start a conversation about his or her own future. This year, the foundation that created this event is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Several activities planned for the DOE event include face painting, fitness activities, educational programs include a health and nutrition talk and a presentation on solar energy.
The Physical Sciences Facility Project, funded in part by NNSA, recently received the DOE Secretary's Award of Excellence in Project Management. Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel Poneman presented the award to DOE's Pacific Northwest Site Office and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Deputy Secretary Poneman stands at left in the photo, next to DOE's Chad Henderson, PNNL's Jeff Pittman, and DOE officials Marcus Jones, Daniel Lehman and Ingrid Kolb.
The seven-year, $224 million project was co-funded by NNSA and other federal agencies. It was managed by an integrated team consisting of the DOE's Office of Science, the NNSA, the Department of Homeland Security, and PNNL.
The 200,000-square-foot complex houses unique, state-of-the-art equipment to support national and homeland security and energy research missions, particularly the development and advancement of radiation detection technologies. Scientists use the Radiation Detection and Ultra-Trace laboratories to help identify weapons of mass destruction and terrorist activities. The Large Detector Laboratory and accompanying Test Track are used to develop and test radiation detection technologies for deployment. Entrenched 40 feet below ground is the Underground Lab, which supports homeland and national security missions in radiation detection. The complex also includes a Materials Science & Technology Laboratory to develop and test high-performance materials used in future energy, construction, and transportation technologies and systems.
The facility project, which was completed ahead of schedule and within budget, allowed for a smooth transition of a large group of PNNL researchers and equipment to new facilities while minimizing impacts to mission-critical research.
DOE gives the award annually to management teams that have demonstrated exceptional results in completing a project within cost and schedule.
For the second year in a row, B&W Pantex has been selected as the recipient of a prestigious national award from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), winning the 2012 Frances Perkins Vanguard Award in recognition of its work with women-owned small businesses.
Last year, Pantex won the Dwight D. Eisenhower Award for excellence in utilization of small businesses.
"To be honored two years in a row by the SBA is a tremendous accomplishment," said B&W Pantex General Manager John Woolery. "These awards validate our commitment to financial stewardship and to the support of small businesses throughout the local area."
Pantex officials announced the award win at Corporate Technology Group (CTG), one of the women-owned small businesses Pantex works with in Amarillo, Texas. CTG was founded in Amarillo in 1981 as a computer and information technology service company. It now has offices in Amarillo and Arlington, Texas, and employs about 20 people.
The Perkins award was created in 1963 and is named after Frances Perkins, the U.S. Secretary of Labor under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Secretary Perkins was the first woman appointed to head a U.S. Cabinet post.
B&W Pantex consistently exceeds goals for direction of contracting work to businesses owned by disadvantaged groups. In fiscal year 2011, Pantex spent $19,897,945 with women-owned small businesses, a total of 17.8 percent of the $112 million in subcontracting dollars spent that year, nearly double the performance goal of 9 percent set by the Department of Energy.

This is the second year in a row that Pantex has been honored with a national award from the SBA for its support of small businesses. CTG, an Amarillo-based woman-owned small business, has been working with Pantex for more than two decades as a subcontractor.

The Department of Energy–Savannah River (DOE-SR) and WSI-SRS, the security contractor at the Savannah River Site (SRS), are hosting the Security Protection Officer Team Competition (SPOTC) at SRS this week. The 2012 Carolina Challenge at SRS marks the 40th anniversary of SPOTC.
A tactical, skills-oriented firearms competition, SPOTC is open to teams of protective force officers within the DOE Complex. In addition, U.S. law enforcement and international competitors will participate. Sixteen teams will compete with local teams that include; WSI-SRS, Aiken Department of Public Safety, and Columbia County Sheriff's Department.
Teams test the skills developed to protect National assets in the event of a real-world crisis. To negotiate the various courses of fire, teams have to demonstrate a wide range of skills under the mental and physical stress of competition, to include: maneuvering safely through obstacles; shooting from unconventional firing positions; and rescuing downed officers.
B&W Pantex hosted its annual car race this weekend as part of the National Science Bowl competition. More than 15 teams of middle school students from across the Texas Panhandle gathered to race cars powered by a lithium ion battery down a 20-meter track. A bottle of water attached to the cars provided weight and increased the challenge of extracting speed from the cars.
The DOE provided kits the students used to build their cars over the past month. Battery-powered cars were selected this year to honor President Obama's goal of putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.
Panhandle White took first place, while the Silver Team from Bovina, Texas, came in second. Third place went to the Gold Team from Panhandle, Texas.
Pantex employees help to plant a tree during the Regeneration 2012 event that was part of the Earth Day commemoration in Amarillo this weekend. Pantexans assisted in the event, where more than 250 trees were planted, along with landscaping and cleaning efforts at Amarillo's Thompson Park.
Dan Blumenthal, NNSA Consequence Management program manager, and Steve Musolino, Brookhaven National Laboratory health physicist, have contributed as special editors of the May 2012 issue of Health Physics, the journal of the Health Physics Society. The special issue of the journal is devoted to the overview of U.S. radiological response to the Fukushima accident, both in Japan and in the U.S. The issue highlights an overview of DOE/NNSA's response: modeling; aerial and ground surveys; home team challenges; and the range of data assessment and products.The issue contains 15 articles and commentaries, nine of which come from DOE/NNSA (two from NNSA and seven from NNSA national laboratories), two from DoD, one from EPA, two from HHS, and one from the states giving their perspective.To see the journal, click here.
The lead that flies at the Pantex Firing Range has to land somewhere, and when it does, it could create a potential contamination hazard. That's why a group of Pantexans got together to find a better way, and created a program that shows how Pantex goes the extra mile to protect the environment.
The project to "green" the firing range had two components encompassing both indoor and outdoor firing ranges, which are used to train Security Police Officers (SPOs) in the use of firearms. The effort reduced by tons the amount of hazardous waste generated during normal operations of the ranges.
"At Pantex, we are continually looking for ways to accomplish our mission while minimizing the impact on the environment," said B&W Pantex General Manager John Woolery.
The indoor range was annually generating approximately 2,400 pounds of lead-contaminated waste through the use of lead bullets. Although much of the lead was recycled, about 1,100 pounds of lead-contaminated air filters and sludge were not recyclable and had to be disposed of as hazardous waste. Additionally, lead dust released when the bullets struck targets created an airborne hazard for the SPOs.
To correct the issue, Pantex switched to a new bullet trap, abated lead in the range building and changed over to non-lead ammunition. The indoor rounds, which are generally made from compressed copper or zinc, are frangible, meaning they break into pieces upon impact and don't create an airborne dust hazard like a conventional lead bullet.
The amount of lead waste generated by the indoor range is dwarfed by the amount of lead that lands in the outdoor ranges. Outdoor ranges at Pantex are backed by earthen berms that are covered by a layer of dolomite, a mineral that is used to trap bullets that pass through targets and strike the berms. When the dolomite layer becomes packed with lead over many years of use, it creates a ricochet hazard and must be replaced.
Normally, the nearly 1,500 tons of lead-saturated dolomite would have been sent to a hazardous waste landfill, but the team decided it would be much more environmentally sound if only the lead was sent to the landfill. The team found a contractor who could sift the lead out from the dolomite, and the material was reused to cover the berms.
As a result, only 24 tons of lead contaminated waste was generated and disposed, and 1,440 tons of dolomite was diverted from the landfill and beneficially reused. Although the environmental aspect of the project was the main attraction, the recycling effort also saved money, reducing the shipping and disposal costs by more than $400,000.
"We feel like the firing range project was a win-win for everyone," said Bill Mairson, manager of the Environmental Safety and Health Division at Pantex. "Not only did we protect the environment from tons of lead contamination, we protected our personnel from an airborne lead hazard, and we saved taxpayer money in the process."

The man lawmen say has run from authorities twice this week is now in custody.
Hertford County Sheriff Juan Vaughan says David Morse was arrested Wednesday night without a problem outside of Ahoskie.
The sheriff says they got a call about a man knocking on doors on Highway 561. Deputies spotted Morse and the sheriff says this time he did not run. In fact, Vaughan says the very same deputies arrested him Wednesday night that he ran from on Sunday.
Morse is being held on a $9,000 secured bond. Charges from Martin County include reckless driving to endanger, no operators license, and speeding in excess of 55 miles per hour. In Hertford County the man is jailed on larceny, resisting public officer, 2nd degree trespass and possession of stolen goods/property.
The Highway Patrol says Morse ran from authorities, not once, but twice in the past four days.
The Hertford County Sheriff's Office says on Sunday they chased Morse and another suspect for possession of stolen of property, trespassing and resisting a public officer, but they got away.
On Tuesday, Morse ran from his car when a deputy in Martin County pulled him over, prompting a manhunt of a swampy area of Highway 903 and Prison Camp Road. At one point, authorities say Morse went inside an elderly woman's home and called for a ride. He also told lawmen he planned to turn himself in.
The Highway Patrol is still searching for David Morse of Ahoskie who authorities say has run from authorities, not once, but twice in the past three days.
Troopers tells us they stopped a vehicle with four people inside around 3:30 Tuesday in Martin County. The driver pulled into a farming operation on James Road and then got out and took off, leaving the other people in the vehicle.
Troopers say they got Morse's cell phone number from one of the people in the the car and made contact with him. They said he told them he was cold and lost in the swamp.
After searching for him for four and a half hours, they called off the search. Later that night, the 31-year-old Morse showed up at an elderly woman's home, walked in through an unlocked door and then told her he was using her phone.
Ten minutes later, a vehicle arrived and Morse ran out, got inside the vehicle and they took off. He told authorities he would turn himself in, but at this time he's still on the run.
The Hertford County Sheriff's Office says on Sunday they chased Morse and another suspect for possession of stolen of property, trespassing and resisting a public officer, but they got away.
Now Morse faces those charges in Hertford County and two more charges in Martin County for yesterday's case.
Previous Story
The search for a man on the run from troopers has been called off for now after they were able to make contact with him.
The Highway Patrol says a man ditched his car and ran into the woods Tuesday afternoon as a deputy tried to pull him over- and left his passengers behind in the car.
The Highway Patrol tells WITN just before 3:40 Tuesday afternoon, a Martin County Deputy tried to stop 31-year-old David Morse of Ahoskie on Highway 903 and Prison Camp Road and Morse jumped out and ran into a swampy area. Troopers say he left a man, woman and a child in the vehicle. They're ok.
The Highway Patrol helicopter, Martin County Sheriff's Deputies and emergency management workers helped search for the man until about 8:00 p.m. when they got a report that Morse had walked into a home and used the phone to have someone come pick him up.
Troopers say they have contacted Morse and he has promised to turn himself in.
Morse was already wanted for a chase last week by law enforcement and was driving with no license. Troopers say now he has warrants for Tuesday's events, including resisting an officer and reckless driving.
A traffic stop in the east has now turned into a search for a man in a swamp.
The Highway Patrol says just before 3:40 p.m., Trooper Brian Allen made a suspicious vehicle stop on Highway 903 and Prison Camp Road in Martin County. We're told the driver jumped out of the vehicle and ran into the nearby swamp.
At least four troopers are on scene at this time searching for the driver. With temperature falling to the teen's tonight, lawmen say there could be concerns of hypothermia.

MIDDLETOWN, Md. (WUSA) - A woman who was trapped underneath her car in her driveway was pronounced dead on Monday afternoon, according to the Frederick County Sheriff's Office.
Officers responded to a report of a woman stuck under a car at 2:19 p.m. in the 8300 block of Hollow Road.
The woman, identified as Lucy Peters Smith, 78, had been outside her car when it rolled backwards, trapping her, according to police. A family member discovered her and called 911. Mrs. Smith was pronounced deceased on the scene, police said.
Although an investigation is ongoing, police say the incident is not suspicious in nature and is not weather related.

- Apps and their data on the IOS device do backup to your PC pr iCloud (for restore purposes). Does anyone know how much storage a 1 hour show (does HD and/or resolution make a difference) takes on an IOS device?
- Has anyone expanded their storage on nomad using the USB expansion? If so, what size HDs have you used and/or are their restrictions (ex. the DVR will default to the connected drive vs. expanding if you use one on that device)? How large is the internal hard drive on the nomad?
- Any comments on what is occurring during the 1 hour conversion? I'm suspecting it is condensing the normal show format down to a smaller configuration (normal iTunes movies are 1.3-1.8GB in size). If DirecTV is committed to improving Nomad then perhaps they'll improve speed and other functionality in the future? Thoughts?
This is great feedback and I'm happy to hear it works so well for NR4P... Having this would allow me to watch my recorded content on the road more. I think I'll order mine right away to take advantage of it on my upcoming trips.

I've filled in all the account details (I've tried pop and imap as my host provides both) but I'm having a problem with the SMTP server setting. My host tells me to set it as "relay.mysitename.co.uk" and port 980 using my mailbox username and password. When I click "Validate and Save" then wait it fails with "Timeout when connecting to "SMTP server". Please check host/port and network connectivity." I notice that in the status bar, while it's trying to validate is shows "Waiting for 127.0.0.1"
Any ideas?

Bilbao, capital of Vizcaya, is now a leading centre for art and architecture. The Guggenheim Museum has had a magnetic effect on the city, where it has been the catalyst for transforming this large industrial centre on the estuary of the River Nervíon, formerly known only for its industrial port and its iron and steel industry.

Ferro Says Hands Off W.Va. Refs In New Bill
March 2, 2013
Personal contact on the basketball court forces a referee to call a foul on rule-breaking athletes, but striking a sports official could result in higher fines or punishment under legislation......
I agree there is some pretty discusting actions that do take place on the courts and ball fields. Enforce the laws that now exist......BTW, what are they actually going to do, If a person can rape a two year old baby and get out of jail with a $5,000 payment, then very little will be done here reguardless of laws.

As an umpire, I once had to eject a coach for pushing me in a little league baseball game. Police charged him with assault and disorderly conduct because he wouldn't leave the field and was using the F bomb on front of the children. It was aweful

Ferro is just being "proactive" about something he has experience with. How much easier would "the case" in Steubenville be if laws which many thought to be unneccesary were in place? Granted time could be used for better things, but evidently it's not been used wisely over the past 80+ "democratic" run years. What if the official is a minority? Hate crime also? LOL

WHILE "ROME" BURNS! Legislation to protect our referees and umpires takes legislative priority. In the meanwhile: -WV high school students have some of the lowest test scores in the country. -WV has one of the highest teen birth rates in the nation. -WV has the one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the nation. -WV in the past 5 years has allowed child poverty to increase 29%. -WV has the highest prevalence of smoking & childhood tobacco use. -WV has the highest rate of preventable hospitalization. -WV has the highest rate of diabetes and obesity in the nation. -And much more................

I talked to a Forest Service LEO about that map, she said there was some legal weight to the maps as it was brought up as an authoritative document in a legal case when pinning a wildfire ignition on some target shooters. Apparently Manzanita Flats Shooting Range is in the no rifle zone? (Haven't verified if its true yet) However, she was adamant that anyone can shoot a rifle anywhere in the National Forest as long as it was safe, responsible, and 150 yards away from dwellings, roads, etc. In addition, the mountain communities are not incorporated cities, so they fall under County responsibility and law. I've asked several SB County Sheriff Officers,(they'd be the ones enforcing a County code) none of which could tell me if it was legal/illegal to shoot a rifle in a certain area. That map says it's ok to shoot a rifle in a residential area next to Lake Arrowhead Elementary school but you can't near Manzanita Flats or Heaps Peak? I think these kind of inconsistencies is why most hunters out there just disregard that map to begin with, nobody will enforce it and sometimes it just doesn't make any sense.
I try to scout more each year as I find more spots holding deer. Lately, that's what archery season turns into, a 23 day long scouting session! Thanks for the advice!

Hi Girls,
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can help make my husband and family more comfortable with the idea of me planning a home birth.
I know that the more they learn, the better it will be, so I am doing my best to "teach" my mom, sister and husband about the real statistics and information about birth.
I have sat him down and watched "business of being born", and actually just bought the DVD so I can show my mom & sis. Even after the movie, he is still at a "4" on a comfort scale of 1-10 (10 being totally comfortable).
I also have bought him the Penny Simkin book "The Birth Partner", which is collecting dust on the coffee table. (I even put a cute "read me" post-it on it.
How do I get him to read the book over comcast sportsnet??? Any suggestions?
On the other hand, mom & sister seem to be progressively coming over to my side. I think after they watch Riki's movie they will understand better, we'll see.
Any suggestions from ladies who have been through this would be great. Since this is my first child, I keep getting comments about how "i have no idea what it's like.." blah blah
Thanks for your help!
17weeks this week!

Hey Amanda,
Congratulations! I can totally relate to what you are saying. My husband thought I was nuts when I told him I wanted to have a home birth. He was an EMT for many years and his experience with women in labor consisted of driving really fast and hoping the baby didn't come in the back of the ambulance.
He agreed to go and speak with the midwife with me and he spent over an hour asking her questions about her experience, what she brought with her, her transfer rate, what she would do in an emergency situation, etc. By the end of that inquisition, he felt much better about me birthing at home with this particular midwife. He did still have some reservations about it, I never got him to a 10, but he was more than willing to be supportive of the home birth since that is what I wanted. After the fact he was completely amazed by the wonderful experience we had and now will talk to anyone about it like it's no big deal.
All of that to say, that honestly, I don't know if you will be able to get your husband to a 10 before the birth. If you can get him most of the way then you have done good.
Has he had a chance to meet with whoever is attending your birth, if you are having someone attend? That might help if he can talk to that person. Also do you have any friends who have had homebirths? Maybe he can talk to the husbands.
As far as getting him to read the book, I know my husband is not really a reader. So I would either read stuff to him in the evenings or I would copy a couple of pages and give him those. It was much less stressful for him to read a couple of pages at a time instead of looking at a big book and deciding to pick it up and start reading.
Hope that helps
Kate, Thanks a lot, that does help..
He has already come with me and talked to my midwife and my doula. My doula is really awesome and I think she got him from a 2 to a 4.. lol. He is just really worried about me and doesn't want to risk having anything happen to me.
The other problem is that we don't really know anyone that has had a home birth. The only person is my doula.. so everyone that we mention it to thinks that I'm (we're) crazy, and why on earth would I want to go through labor without any drugs??? So, maybe he is also just reacting to that.. who knows.
The idea about just copying pages for him is a god one, I am definitely going to try that.
Another obstacle is that he is kind of germ-a-phobic.. and he is really grossed out by the whole thought of the mess of it in our house, and just the fact that he thinks it's going to be gross. I think that talking to someone who has had a home birth would really help in that regard.. ;-)
Thanks for your comments, I will keep you posted!
Hi Amanda,
Prepare for the home birth, and have a hospital on 'stand-by' may provide some ease for your husband. Also, can you hire/ask someone to clean your home post-birth as a comfort to your husband?
Hi Amanda! Gratz on your first baby!
It sounds like you are already doing a lot of helpful things. I was interested in home birth and natural birth (no drugs, vaginal, no interference, etc) with my first pregnancy/delivery (2007), but my husband was completely against it. After we had a terrible first birth experience, from being scared into induction, nearly 24 hrs of induced labor, a required epidural due to exhaustion and lack of progress, and nearly avoiding a c-section, when we got preggo w/ baby #2 (2010), he was more open to the idea. Fortunately, the BOBB was out and I bumped into it somewhere. He actually watched it with me and became interested in helping me have a better (less traumatic) experience.
We also, at that time, knew no one around us who had had a home birth. So, it was really difficult to talk about with our friends and family - nearly all of which were quite clear that they thought we were nuts. :) But, we knew we didn't want a repeat performance. So, we either didn't talk about it with most people unless they asked about it. When someone asked, "What hospital are you having your baby?" I'd answer with a beaming face and voice: "Oh, we are planning to have our baby at home! We are so excited because it is such a safer, more relaxing way to give birth. I hope I never have to give birth in a hospital again!" If they voiced concern and were obviously entrenched, I would just say, "Well, it is something we have researched thoroughly and the evidence indicates that home birth is as safe, or safer, than hospital birth and the process is so much nicer. I get personal attention from my midwife, who stays with me the whole time. And there are certain protocols for emergencies." Starting a conversation from a point of "evidence" will either open people's minds or force them to hold their piece - they can't argue with published, verifiable, evidence.
About your husband: don't expect him to read the book. Most guys learn and process things differently than we do. Despite having a supportive husband, he never read a single book. I'm not sure he read a single page in a single book about home birth. What I found to work best was to read the info and then draw him into conversation with something I thought might interest him. I might tell him about an interesting statistic I had read, or a technique for labor that was supposed to help me relax, why relaxing is so important in labor, what I learned about how contractions worked (Hey, honey, did you see this neat diagram on how the abs contract during labor and why pitocin messes with you so much? No wonder my contractions were unbearable when I had pitocin!). You know your husband better than anyone else, so you have to find ways to tap into his interest.
Another thing that helped was for us to go to birthing classes together. We did the 12 week Bradley classes. That was a big commitment, but INCREDIBLY helpful for us because my husband is a hands-on kinda guy and he needed something like an interactive class to keep his attention.
I also found that reputable articles, shared with friends and family on facebook and/or via e-mail, was helpful in opening minds and conversations about home birth. Reading great home birth stories online (I really like bringbirthhome.com) and watching home birth videos (though sometimes graphic, very helpful in terms of preparing you for what to expect) was also very helpful because these show how amazing home birth can be.
One thought to deal with the comments about how this is your first birth and "you don't know what it is like": ask for that person's birth story. Listen politely, even comment on how rough she probably had it if that is what her story is about, or comment on how it's great that she had such a nice experience in the hospital. Then counter with what you are looking for in a birth.
For example, I wanted a peaceful birth where I could lie down, move around, get in the water, etc. with no restrictions (we can't do that in a hospital b/c we are always tied down to the IV, a port at the very least, along with the constant monitoring - yeah, you can ask them to not do all that, but who wants to fight a hospital when you are in labor? I'll take less stress, thanks ;)). I didn't want to wear a stupid hospital gown that made me uncomfortable and feel exposed (which consequently increases tension, which increases pain, see the book Childbirth Without Fear by Dr. Grantly Dick-Read). I didn't want pressure to induce unnecessarily or have an IV (or even a port b/c I always have an allergic reaction to the adhesive that holds it in place). It was important to me to be able to work with someone (my midwife) who believed natural birth was not just a hopeful outcome, but who believed it to be the normal, expected outcome barring some unforeseen challenge. (side note: my OB with my first birth told me a natural birth was admirable to shoot for, but not to get my hopes up) Sure, I had never experienced a home birth before, but I had read a lot of stories and seen videos of home birth. I had read articles and statistics. I believed that home birth was the best option for me. And, if something happened and I wasn't able to have our baby at home, then that was okay too. But, it was important to me to do my best to have our baby at home.
When you put it that way, there's not a whole lot someone can say. A good exercise is to write down your ideal birth scenario. Prepare yourself for it not to be exactly how you plan it, but don't be afraid to read all you can about birth (the good and the bad, because knowledge can eliminate fear) and think about what you would want to do based on various scenarios. For example, under what circumstances are you comfortable with switching to a hospital birth (urgent or otherwise). Understand what can happen and how these scenarios might play out by reading other's stories and talking with experienced midwives. Share this info with your support group (right now, the wonderful ladies on this forum, your husband and your Mom/sister).
Home birth is absolutely amazing. I hope to have two more children and, God willing, I will have both at home. There is no comparison! I could be stressed out, making sure I have everything packed for a hospital excursion, deal with the nurses who assume you want pit' and all the "advantages" of the hospital, endure the poking and prodding in private areas by people I've never met before, wearing uncomfortable clothes and feeling like I have to "perform" on someone else's time table.
OR, I can chill out at home, eating snacks, taking a moonlit walk breathing fresh, cool summer night air, chatting with my family while rocking on a birthing ball until the contractions are strong enough for me to get in my heated birthing pool where I can then chill out in amazing comfort, talking, listening to music, drinking water whenever I want it, and feeling everything my baby is doing as she prepares to enter this world. Then, I can take a warm bath in an herbal soak with rose petals, fit for a queen, cuddle with my baby and go to sleep comfortably in my own bed with no interruptions other than my baby's needs. I can wear my own comfortable clothes, breastfeed when I want/need to, light soothing candles if I feel like it, etc. There is absolutely no comparison to the comfort and peace of a home birth.
Sorry for the ramble! If you would like to read my home birth story, complete with planning and postpartum, you can check it out on my blog at http://rhiser.wordpress.com/2010/06/
I am a first time mom and am due in December. I do not know anyone who has done a homebirth, either. I started looking into doing a homebirth after my sister tried to have a natural birth in the hospital, but she had to fight for it every moment and when the baby was crowning, the room became full of people (doctor, intern, nurses, nurse students) and was rushed and chaotic. I decided that maybe there was a better way to achieve a more intimate, calm, natural birth. Thankfully, BOBB came out and that is what steered me towards looking at homebirth.
When I tell friends and coworkers about my plans for a homebirth, I tell them that homebirth is my ultimate goal--it will happen if the pregnancy is healthy and no high risk factors come up. I say that I do intend on using the hospital if there is a need and I live 20 minutes away from one.
Your husband and family will need to have more reassurance. Be sure they know that you want to pursue homebirth if everything leading up to it is going well. It might be good to show them the list of reasons you could no longer plan a homebirth and reasons why a transfer is needed on labor day. As you know, the midwife is specially trained to identify when homebirth is safe... and when intervention is needed; most of those decisions are able to be made before you are in active labor. She has equipment for emergencies such as postpartum hemorrhage, oxygen, resuscitating tools for mom and for baby.
As far as mess, the midwife knows just what to do to clean up after a birth. Also note that hospitals are not as clean of an environment as your home. MRSA and C-Diff is commonplace in hospitals.
I find that looking at a few homebirth/waterbirth videos are good and then compare them to the hospital birth. I am assuming that you do not want to be laboring on your back, legs spread apart for MP convenience, and your doctor and nurses telling you to push, push, push. Let your husband know that you want to be able to be on your feet, your side, in bed, in a bath, in a calm and quiet environment, and be able to push and rest when your body is telling you to do so. My favorite birth video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evZ5rgAyUM8
P.S. I do want to point out that in BOBB, when Abby goes into labor 5-6 weeks earlier than expected... her midwife encouraged her to get to the hospital as soon as she could. For some reason, Abby stayed at the apartment for a while longer and labored with Ricki... THEN she left for the crazy taxi ride.

Using Zimbra Desktop and ZCS, I had a folder called "Eployees" In side that folder I had a list of Employees by Name. Now I can't find the employees folder anywhere, in ZD or ZWC. I haven't accidentailly moved it to another folder.
so.. I can search for an email or employee who I know is in that folder or subfolder and display that email along with the folder they are in .
i.e. Search for "Craig" I can see and view emails from craig and the folder shows that it's in the "craig" subfolder employees\craig\ but I can't browser that folder. ARRGH.
I've re-indexed on Zimbra Desktop and on the server. I know the mail is not missing just the folder to get to the mail. This is getting annoying as I can't drag and drop mail from my inbox into these folders for filing or use the move option as Zimbra thinks this folder no longer exists. I've looked through every subfolder and am yet to locate my missing employees folder.
Any advise appreciated. ;-)

|Softball plays hard at Yuma
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
The Lady Dragon softball team suffered two losses at Yuma last Saturday, Sept. 22. However, "minus one inning in both games against Yuma, the Dragons played to the level they were capable of playing," said coach Ashley Clayton.
"It was really nice to see people step up and play hard, despite being in positions they may not normally play," she added.
HHS traveled to Akron Tuesday, Sept. 25 for a league doubleheader, with results to appear in next week's Enterprise.
This Saturday, Sept. 29, the girls will travel to Limon for a doubleheader beginning at 10 a.m.
Holyoke 8, Yuma 18
The Lady Dragons had a strong start in game one at Yuma with four runners crossing home plate to open the ball game. Yuma answered with three runs in the first inning, but Holyoke maintained the one-point lead.
The Indians added two more in the bottom of the third to lead 5-4. Fourth-inning action found the Dragons regain the lead 6-5, only to see it fall when Yuma scored four for a 9-6 advantage.
Holyoke made it a one-point game with two runs in the top of the fifth. But when the Indians rallied for nine runs to close out that inning, it finished the game with run rule and an 18-8 Yuma win.
Vicki Jeffers took the loss on the mound, facing 36 batters for 10 hits and 18 runs. She struck out five batters and walked five.
Elissa Baker hit a triple, Holyoke's only extra-base hit in the game. At the plate, Jeffers was two for two with one run and Chandler Gerk was two for three with three runs. Allison Boehm had one hit and an RBI and Keeya Marquez had a hit.
Holyoke 3, Yuma 13
Yuma took an 8-0 lead in the second game Saturday before the Dragons could muster a run. The Indians scored two in the first, two in the second and four in the third inning of play.
Holyoke managed two in the fourth and one more in the fifth to make it an 8-3 ball game, but Yuma added two in the bottom of the fifth and three more in the sixth to close out the game 13-3 after six innings.
Jeffers again took the loss on the mound, facing 39 batters for 10 hits and 13 runs. She struck out two and walked 10.
Baker and Jeffers each had two hits for the Dragons, while Camille Elliott and Marquez had one hit apiece. Baker, Kaitlyn Lenhart and Gerk scored Holyoke's three runs.
