The magazine spoke to CVS Health VP professional services Tom Davis about the efforts, and Davis notes that "when dispensing naloxone, our pharmacists counsel patients and caregivers on a number of important points including: identifying an overdose, the importance of calling 911, giving rescue breaths, administering naloxone and remaining with the patient until help arrives."

Energy Efficiency Taught to Kids Nationwide
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has created the Keystone Energy Education Program (KEEP) to teach students and teachers at Pennsylvania schools how to track energy efficiency.
There will be 12-day workshops held throughout the state during the 2013-2014 school year, beginning in early October. Six school teams will attend each workshop, resulting in 72 schools participating.
Todd Recknagel, CEO of AM Conservation Group (pictured), says that energy education programs for school children are pervasive throughout the United States, many of them facilitated through utilities.
AM Conservation Group works with more than 2,000 different utilities to provide energy education programs. Recknagel says the utilities are often mandated to reduce energy usage through efficiency measures and to show measurable results. AM Conservation Group teaches kids things they may not know, such as the connection between saving water and saving energy.
"It takes so much energy, to refine, pump and heat water," says Recknagel. "Five minutes of warm water running from the tap is equivalent to a 100-watt incandescent bulb running for 14 hours."
The KEEP program in Pennsylvania is a series of free workshops geared to middle school teams, which include three teachers of grades 5, 6 or 7, an administrator and a building maintenance manager. Workshop participants will learn about energy issues, including fundamentals and impacts, electricity generation, transportation fuels, careers, energy conservation, student teams and school building energy benchmarking through presentations, tours and hands-on activities. The KEEP program aims to educate participants while also enabling the school district to operate its buildings more economically.
Each team will have the opportunity to integrate high level, standards-based energy education into their formal curriculum. This could include lesson plans, curricular modules and ongoing benchmarking through EPA's Energy Star Portfolio Manager, resulting in energy efficiency assessments.
The workshops are based on Pennsylvania's Academic Standards and Assessment Anchors for Environment and Ecology, Science and Technology and Engineering Education. Participating teachers will receive background information, standards-based curricular materials and energy conservation material kits.

Underwater Images Photo/Video 2007 winners announced
Congratulations to the winners of the 2007 Underwater Images Photo/Video Competition, which have recently been announced online. Among the winners were quite a few Wetpixel members, including Jose Alvarez (Best of show), Ralph "Larry" Oberlander, Keri Wilk, Matt Segal, Csaba Tokolyi, and more! The Underwater Images contest is associated with Scubafest in Ohio, USA.
It looks like the same photographers have been winning all of the recent underwater photography contests. If you have photos you think are better than the ones that have been winning, be sure to enter, next year. :)
Shark fin soup may be off the menu during Olympics
BEIJING (AFP) - Shark fin soup should be removed from the menu at Chinese official banquets to prevent damage to the country's image during the Olympic Games next year, according to a lawmaker.
"Serving shark's fin to foreign guests during the Olympic Games could greatly hurt China's national image, and officials should start to remove the dish from the dining table right now", Xu Zhihong, a member of China's national parliament told Xinhua news agency.
From the forums: Fuji S5 sunburst tests
The Fujifilm S5 DSLR has been eagerly anticipated by underwater photographers. The S5 is physically identical to the very popular Nikon D200 and therefore fits in the same housings. It was also hoped that the increased dynamic range of Fuji's Super CCD sensor would improve the quality of sunbursts in underwater pictures.
Wetpixel member Claude Ruff recently put this theory to the test and performed some very useful back to back tests shooting the S5 and the D200 simultaneously underwater. His tests show that the S5 is an excellent underwater camera, but perhaps surprisingly, does not offer any noticeable improvement over the D200 for sunbursts.
Have a look at Claude's photos and see if you agree. Join the debate in the Wetpixel forums…
The Underwater Photographer wins Diver Award
Congratulations to underwater photography guru and Wetpixel member Martin Edge for winning the DIVER Award 2006 for the Publication of the Year for his book The Underwater Photographer, published by Focal Press. The Diver Awards are decided annually entirely by votes by the readers of the UK's Diver Magazine.
This book is a firm favourite with many Wetpixel members and is a deserved winner of this prestigious award. Martin is regular visitor top Wetpixel and the book actually contains several direct links Wetpixel content for further information. If you are an underwater photographer you must check out this book.
Petition: stop distribution of shark fins
The practice of shark finning (where sharks have their fins cut off while still alive and are thrown back in the water to die) is brutal, wasteful, and often, illegal. A web search for shark finning will show you in mere minutes how terrible the practice is.
Please show your support for the world's dwindling shark populations by signing this petition against Alibaba.com, one of largest online traders of shark fins. Signing the petition takes less than a minute and requires only your name, e-mail address, and geographic location. You can also protect your privacy by showing yourself as "anonymous," if you wish.
UPDATE: If you would like to post a link to this petition in your blog or in a forum you frequent, continue reading for code you can cut & paste!
Light & Motion Bluefin HC7 underwater housing
Next week, Light & Motion will announce the Bluefin HC7, an underwater housing for the compact Sony HDR-HC7 HDV camcorder. The Bluefin HC7 will allow manipulation of the camcorder's touch screen menu to provide access to one-touch manual white balance, independent aperture and shutter speed control (a great feature of the HC7 camcorder), Tele Macro mode, and Smooth Slow Motion.
Also standard on the Bluefin HC7 is Light & Motion's signature Smart Grip Handles, an underwater microphone, flip-down color correction filter, and an all glass zoom through lens. Pricing has not yet been announced, but will likely be $3,099 USD.
Review of StiX buoyancy arms by Cor Bosman and Julie Edwards
Nearly every underwater photographer has experienced it - the unwieldy, heavy housing straining their patience while shooting macro or seemingly acting as a few (unnecessary) extra pounds of lead. Wetpixel members Cor Bosman and Julie Edwards have taken the StiX buoyancy arms on over 200 dives, and believe they've found the solution. Cor writes:
It has made my diving 100% pleasurable again. No more sore arms after a dive, no more giving up on a very difficult macro subject due to fatigue. My rig is now ever so slightly negative (I prefer it that way), but I can just as easily make it fully neutral or even positive.
The full report contains more impressions from Cor and Julie, photos of the arms and their components, and information on purchasing…
*Addendum*: Wetpixel member Colin Gans has added his experiences with modifying the end floats for a rounded "torpedo-look" that allows the arms to fold closer together. His words and photos can be found at the end of the review.
Mexico passes shark finning ban
After 10 years of debate, Mexico has passed legislation that bans shark finning, increases protection of great white, whale and basking sharks, and manta rays, and extends the moratorium on new commercial shark fishing permits.
Mexico has become increasingly known for its great white shark concentrations at Isla Guadalupe, and whale sharks can be found on both coasts. Mike Lever (of the M/V Nautilus Explorer) said in response: "The enactment of Mexican rules for responsible shark and ray fisheries is incredibly good news and really bodes well for the survival of these magnificent animals."

It will fill a large container with color all summer andfall. It's tall panicles of flowers do not droop. They are supportedon stiff stems. What's more, the flowers grow in height as the seasonprogresses. The flower colors are the most distinctive part of thisplant. They can be up to 16 inches tall, open white, change to pink,then new white flowers open above the pink. This flower show goes onall season.The soil pH will not change the color. The flowerscan be cut and used in fresh arrangements or dried and used throughoutthe winter. Once it is established, it is drought tolerant. Pruning,which flushes new growth, brings on more flowers. Try it grouped insets of three in the midst of a shrub border. It will make a goodhedging plant, too. If you don't cut the blossoms they will addinterest to the landscape all winter. Truly distinctive, this hydrangeais all about easy care and showy flowers.

text: Compliance DOL Seeks Comments About Lifetime Income Data May 7, 2013 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is seeking comments about rules for lifetime income illustrations provided to defined contribution (DC) plan participants. By Kevin McGuinness firstname.lastname@example.com | May 07, 2013 An advance notice of proposed rulemaking from the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) will focus specifically on lifetime income illustrations given to participants in defined contribution pension plans such as 401(k) and 403(b) plans. The purpose of the notice is to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to provide early input into the development of regulations. "We are looking for the best ideas on how to show people what their lump-sum retirement savings look like when they are spread out over all the years of retirement," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employee Benefits Security Phyllis C. Borzi. "Retirees run the risk of outliving their savings. If workers have the benefit of seeing how long their savings could last, it might spur better planning for the future, such as adopting more effective savings strategies." The DOL/EBSA is developing proposed regulations regarding the pension benefit statement requirements under Section 105 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The notice solicits input about a rule that would require a participant's accrued benefits to be included on his or her pension benefit statement as an estimated lifetime stream of payments, in addition to an account balance. DOL/EBSA is also requesting comments about a rule that would require a participant's accrued benefits to be projected to his or her retirement date, assuming annual contributions and an estimated rate of return, and then presented as an estimated lifetime stream of payments.Comments on the notice may be addressed to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Regulations and Interpretations, Employee Benefits Security Administration, Room N-5655, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210, Attn: Pension Benefits Statement Project. Comments may also be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com with RIN 1210-AB20 in the subject line of the message or through the federal e-rulemaking portal at http://www.regulations.gov. All comments are due by July 8, 2013.The notice, which will be published in the Federal Register on May 8, can be viewed here.

Draft policy decisions about new regulations to New Zealand's financial markets and "significant freeing up of capital raising" have been announced in Parliament this morning by Commerce Minister Craig Foss.
Changes in the Financial Markets Conduct Bill include allowing new forms of capital raising such as crowd funding platforms and person-to-person lending services.
Informed by recommendations of the industry-led Capital Markets Development Taskforce, the bill would require new licensing criteria for fund managers, discretionary investment management services and issuers of derivatives.
It also calls for single-product disclosure statements giving clear information to retail investors with a public register "that contains richer detail" so investors can easily compare products.
Changes intend to give investors better access to information that would help them make decisions about placing their money and ensuring investments are well governed.
"Investors need to be able to make investment choices according to performance and risk differences of schemes," the minister's Financial Markets Conduct Regulations Paper stated.
Foss said the regulations would bring significant reform to the financial markets.
"The FMC Bill is a key pillar in the capital markets work stream of the Government's Business Growth Agenda ... aimed at increasing investment in our capital markets so our firms can grow," he said.
"It is aimed at creating confident and informed investors and fair, efficient and transparent financial markets."
If approved, the changes would come into force in April 2014, Foss said.

Comments: The CW has barely anything in production. Whatever they have ordered to pilot will be picked-up...that's how bad it is. The strike might be the reason, as they also have no sitcom pilots ordered to pilot. They have a script order for a Sherri Shephard sitcom, that would work well with The Game, so they should order it to pilot ASAP so it can be ready for mid-season. 90210 remake is their best shot at new success, and it would do well leading off Mondays and possibly can give Gossip Girl a bit of a bump...maybe over 3 million? Tuesdays should have One Tree Hill and Reaper, because they are both actually decent performers, as Reaper has proved itself this spring airing in multiple slots. Wednesday will of course have Next Top Model followed by How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls maybe. How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls would also fit with One Tree Hill, I think. Thursday with Smallville and Supernatural shouldn't be changed, as it does decent enough. Fridays will be changed and of course I don't think they can replace the 4 million that Smackdown! got. I would just double pump on Everybody Hates Chris and maybe encore Reaper on the night. Aliens in America would do terrible on this night, so I don't think The CW will bring it back. Repeats of Chris would do better...maybe for mid-season, they can develop another single camera comedy to pair with Chris. Or maybe by midseason Chris will be back to Sundays anyway. As for Sundays, maybe a reality show (Styledome) would be best to start at 8pm out of an encore of Top Model? This would lead into back-to-back episodes of sitcom The Game. Once Styledome wraps, they could always move Chris to 8-9pm if the Friday airings are bad. As for mid-season they could bring in a drama like Austin Golden Hour which is a medical drama, if anything fails... and the Fashion Magazine Assistants reality show maybe in between cycles of Top Model? Beauty & the Geek and Pussycat Dolls don't deserve to return.
You can say goodbye to the following shows Aliens in America, Beauty & the Geek, Girlfriends, Life is Wild, Pussycat Dolls, CW Now, Online Nation and Farmer Wants a Wife.
The CW needs help for sure, I think they should start each weeknight with a proven show (One Tree Hill, Top Model, Smallville, Chris) and 90210 would probably fall into those shows once it airs. Sophomore shows such as Gossip Girl and Reaper will be brought back to prove itself and grow. But without any new sitcoms, they are in a mess.
Discuss your thoughts on our prediction and feel free to make suggestions of your own by clicking HERE!
Remember, next Tuesday (May 13) is the actual date when we will find out The CW's plans for the 2008-09 season. So, come on back next Tuesday and we will let you know the details and you can see how much we were right (or wrong). Stay tuned tomorrow for our preview of CBS' upfront.
And as a reminder, stay tuned next week for all the final schedules released by all the networks! We will put them up as soon as they are released by the networks, so this will be your home to see them first!
Finally Family Matters has been officially announced for Nick at Nite! A press release just came out! Nick at Nite will add Family Matters, a laugh-out-loud hit series for the whole family, to its sitcom line-up this summer, launching the show with a seven–hour marathon on Sunday, June 29 from 9:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., before it lands in its regular time period, Sunday through Thursday at 8:30 p.m. & 11:00 p.m.; and Friday & Saturday at 12 a.m. (all times ET/PT). Family Matters ran for nine seasons (1989-98) and 215 episodes on broadcast networks ABC (first eight seasons) and CBS (for its last season), catapulted Jaleel White's archetypal nerd-next-door, Steve Urkel, into the pop culture, and the actor captured three Image Awards for his portrayal. In this long-running comedy – a spinoff of Perfect Strangers via wisecracking elevator operator Harriette Winslow – nosy, good-hearted Steve Urkel pesters and wreaks havoc on his neighbors, the Winslows of suburban Chicago. Starring Reginald VelJohnson, Jo Marie Payton, Darius McCrary, Kelly Shanygne Williams, Jaimee Foxworth, Rosetta LeNoire, Bryton McClure, with Telma Hopkins, and Jaleel White.
There will be no other changes to the June line-up. So, everything else will remain the same. Family Matters will replace a Nickelodeon airing at 8:30 on Sun-Thurs and a Fresh Prince airing at 11pm on Sun-Thurs...on Fri-Sat it will air at 12am replacing a Fresh Prince airing on Friday & a Home Improvement airing on Saturday. The only other change that will happen is at 6am, Full House will air Mon-Thurs replacing a Nickelodeon airing. Now this could be just a rough schedule...we shall know more soon when we announce Nick at Nite June in the coming weeks...so come on back!
In other Nick at Nite news, they will revive the classic Nickelodeon game show GUTS, with a family twist. GUTS, the groundbreaking, original hit game show from the '90s, is being recreated for a new generation of families as Nick at Nite greenlights My Family's Got GUTS, a new extreme sports competition series. Nick at Nite will commence production on two 10-episode tournaments, (20 new half-hour episodes and two hour-long specials), created and executive produced by the digital entertainment studio Worldwide Biggies. The series will be shot on location at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., beginning in August and is scheduled to premiere in prime time on Nick at Nite in fall 2008 with the finale on the Worldwide Day of Play. The original GUTS was hosted by Mike O'Malley (Yes, Dear, Get the Picture) and aired on Nickelodeon from September 28, 1992, until October 1995. A spin-off was created called Global GUTS.
Finally, Nick at Nite is going to the dogs...literally! For the first time ever, Nick at Nite will give dog owners everywhere the chance to showcase the unique charms of their canine companions by entering them online as contestants for The First Annual Worldwide Fido Awards premiering on Sunday, July 27, and Monday, July 28, 9-10 p.m. (ET/PT). The competition kicks off on May 19, when viewers can upload videos of their dogs to the popular online dog video community site www.WorldwideFido.com, created by digital entertainment studio Worldwide Biggies, to compete in six categories and vote online for their top picks. The contest culminates in a two-night television event that will reveal the winners in each category and ultimately the 2008 Worldwide Fido Award for best in show. The pooch fest will also feature canine friendly celebrities and their four-legged best friends. The categories include "Cutest Dog," "Best Dressed," "Best Voice," "Most Outrageous," "Best Trick" and "Dog/Owner Look-Alike."
The CW Television Network is teaming up with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution to create a daily two-hour afternoon programming block that will bring a new court television series from Telepictures Productions and two hit comedies from Warner Bros. Television to The CW from 3:00–5:00 p.m. each weekday.
Judge Jeanine Pirro, a new original one-hour court program featuring Jeanine Pirro – regular contributor to Fox News Channel, former Westchester County (N.Y.) District Attorney and County Judge, nationally known legal commentator and author – as the presiding jurist will air Monday–Friday back-to-back at 3:00 p.m., followed by a one-hour comedy block of classic urban 90s sitcoms The Wayans Bros. at 4:00 p.m. and The Jamie Foxx Show at 4:30 p.m. The new programming schedule will debut Monday, September 22, 2008.
These shows will replace the current CW Daytime block of All of Us, What I Like About You and back-to-back Reba episodes.
Eventually, The CW would like to have two full hours of first-run product, rather than one, in the block by next year. Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Television and The CW originally discussed doing that immediately, but decided to just start with one hour for now. So this block will be fully Warner Bros. owned shows, and not other studios. They have aired shows from other studios before such as ABC Studios' 8 Simple Rules, 20th Century Fox's Reba and CBS Paramount's All of Us, with Warner owned shows in the mix as well such as ER and What I Like About You.

Driving from LeeVining to Zion
Report Abuse
We've had to make this drive a couple of times, in reverse. It is long and pretty boring, so make sure you have an audiobook or something to listen to.
From Lee Vining, take Hwy. 120 into Nevada, then Hwy. 6 through Tonopah to Warm Springs. Head southeast on Hwy. 375 to Ash Springs, east on 93 through Caliente to Panaca, then east on 319 into Utah. 319 changes to Hwy. 56.
My inlaws lived in Cedar City, so that was our starting point. From there it's about 90 minutes to Zion.

Report Abuse
Make sure you fill the gas tank in downtown Tonopah. Rt. 375 is also known as the "extraterestrial highway". There is no gas in Rachel. I remember that gas was quite expensive in Lee Vining the last time I was there.
Report Abuse
Good suggestion, tomfuller. I was thinking about mentioning that at one point, but it slipped my mind by the time I hit submit.

Thanks Lee Ann and tomfuller.
Is it better to go via Beatty and north Las Vegas then?
Not sure if it is longer.

Detained Tibetans stage hunger strike in Nepal
Kathmandu: Thirteen Tibetans, detained last week for protesting against China in front of the United Nations office in Nepal, started an indefinite hunger strike on Monday to press for their release, the president of the Tibetan Youth Congress in Nepal said.
The activists, including two women, were demanding UN intervention in their homeland after a series of self-immolations against Chinese rule there.
Tsewang Dolma quoted the protesters as saying the detentions, since Friday, were a violation of human rights.
"The hunger strike is to demand their release," she said.
Nepal is home to 20,000 Tibetans who have been living there since fleeing with the Dalai Lama in 1959.
Tibetans in Nepal have been organising protests against China, showing solidarity with those who have self-immolated in recent months.
In the past, most protesters were released shortly after being arrested during their protests in the Nepali capital.
Human rights groups working for the Tibetan cause say Nepal was under pressure from China to crackdown on the activities of Tibetan exiles.
Kathmandu considers Tibet as part of China, impoverished Nepal`s key trade partner and a major aid donor to its economic development.
At least 16 Tibetans are believed to have died after setting themselves on fire in protest since March, most of them Buddhist monks in Tibetan parts of Sichuan and Gansu provinces, next to what China calls the Tibet Autonomous Region.
In November last year, one Tibetan poured kerosene on his body and set himself on fire but was quickly overpowered by locals at a Buddhist shrine on the outskirts of Kathmandu.

We are travelling to the BI/Kauai at the end of May/beginning of June and wanted some advice on where to stay. Last time we went to kauai was pre-baby, was in Nov, and i remember staying in Poipu, but driving all over the island to explore, hike, seek out local foodie finds, etc (we remember really loving the north coast).
This time of course will be different. As of now our little guy is still napping twice a day, and we pretty much try to respect that otherwise we're in for a world of hurt. So we don't want to stray too far from our home base. We will be looking primarily at condo-type places. Seems like the 3 main places are Poipu, Kapaa, and Princeville/hanalei areas?
Would love opinions, tips, tricks from seasoned Kauai travelers. The thought of travelling with this squirmy baby plus the sheer volume of STUFF to pack...yikes. Any advice is really appreciated!

Where to stay in Kauai with 1 yr old baby May/June
We are travelling to the BI/Kauai at the end of May/beginning of June and wanted some advice on where to stay. Last time we went to kauai was pre-baby, was in Nov, and i remember staying in Poipu, but driving all over the island to explore, hike, seek out local foodie finds, etc (we remember really loving the north coast).
Report Abuse
I love the north shore, and I would suggest you look at Hanalei Colony Resort http://www.hcr.com if it fits your budget. It is absolute beachfront. The garden view units really do not have a view of the water, but as soon as you walk out the door you are literally only steps from the beach. All the other buildings do offer a decent ocean view at the least. Unfortunately it has been a few years since the last time I was there so I can't give an updated report on it, but it is currently well-reviewed http://www.hawaiirevealed.com/free-travel-info/kauai/kauai-resorts/haena-area/hanalei-colony-resort It is about a 15 minute drive into Hanalei, and 10 min to Tunnels or Ke'e beaches.
Or I would look for a cottage or apartment in Hanalei.
Report Abuse
Hanalei Colony Resort is beautiful and has a nice restaurant but normally the beach is not swimmable there, very rough. I'd look into a condo rental in Princeville, Hanalei Bay Resort is very nice (but rent from an owner, the hotel rooms are starting a much needed remodel). Or maybe look for a cottage in Hanalei (no condos in Hanalei, only houses).
Report Abuse
Just our personal opinion - we'd much rather be at beach level (HCR, etc.) on a non-swimmable beach than high up on a cliff overlooking the beach (Princeville).
If you decide to go south, Kiahuna (north is more lush and beautiful, but south has Kiahuna, which I think is THE place to stay with kids on Kauai).
Report Abuse
I'd rent a cottage in Hanalei. I rented a small cottage in Hanalei in May, 2010, for myself, my husband, and daughter. We liked being able to walk to Hanalei Bay, and it was very calm when we were there in May.
Report Abuse
Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort - in Kapaa. Nice modern condos. Not really a swimmable beach but a great pool area. Plus we saw monk seals on the beach in the early morning. It was pretty just walking around the beach even if we didn't swim in it. It's a short drive to Lydgate beach park which has a nice protected swimmable beach. Kapaa isn't exactly the most "Hawaiian" place in Kauai but it'll provide the convenience factor - lots of restaurants, supermarkets, stores, etc. and not too far from Lihue airport. Otherwise, I would stick to the Princeville or Hanalei areas since you liked it the last time. It's always great to be in a location you love.
Report Abuse
I don't think having a baby in tow affects which part of the island you stay in. I see families with toddlers and infants everywhere I go. They were splashing in shallow tidepools in Kapaa -- and I see them every day at the water's edge at Hanalei Bay.
My personal preference is the North Shore. I think the East/Coconut Coast's main benefit is its central location. But I'd rather just stay on the North Shore.
You didn't mention your budget, so it's hard to make a recommendation. But there are condos to fit every budget in most areas. I like Sealodge in Princeville. Unbeatable views and low prices. For more money you can get fancier and newer buildings -- but you can't beat the Sealodge views. A cottage in Hanalei will cost more--and it's unlikely you'll get views.

A look at the legacy of "Independence Day," as reflected in films that tried to top it, including its sequel.
A book review of "The Art & Making of Independence Day: Resurgence."
Three young men spent 18 years in prison, one under a death sentence, for a horrifying triple murder they clearly did not commit. The apparent killer is still walking the streets of West Memphis, Ark. The documentary "West of Memphis" is the fourth film about one of the most heinous cases of wrongful conviction in American judicial history.
Do we need a fourth film? Yes, I think we do. If you only see one of them, this is the one to choose, because it has the benefit of hindsight. Here is the bottom line: In 1993, the bodies of three young boys were found bound, mutilated and drowned in a drainage canal in the Robin Hood Hills neighborhood of West Memphis. A month later, three local teenagers were linked to the crime after one of them confessed; the prosecution claimed it was a satanic cult murder.
This charge was seized upon by local residents, and some of the evidence seemed to fit. Also, the suspects were described as "weird" heavy metal fans who often wore black. The community seemed convinced of their guilt.
Amy Berg's "West of Memphis" opens with a great deal of footage that is shockingly detailed and grisly, with gruesome descriptions. It's so graphic it's hard to watch. These accounts of the murders were connected by the prosecution to the defendants, Jessie Misskelley, Jr., 17; Jason Baldwin, 16, and Damien Echols, 18, regarded as the group's leader. After Misskelley described the killings in a long, rambling confession that took up a full day, Echols was the only one charged with first-degree murder.
Misskelley is characterized in the film as "borderline mentally retarded," with an IQ around 70. Baldwin comes across as quiet and shy, a "nice boy." Echols seems the most intelligent and charismatic. The three kids liked to hang out together, often playing video games in malls.
Once they had the confession, authorities were convinced they had the killers. "West of Memphis" uses extracts from the tape-recorded police interrogation that imply that most of the details in the confession were suggested to the youth, that key terms were introduced for him to agree with, and that after hours and hours, he was going along with everything. This despite confusion about what time the alleged events took place between noon and 8 p.m., and photographs and evidence providing all three defendants with alibis — crucially Echols, who was participating in a wrestling match some miles away.
There is a conclusion here, asking to be drawn. The reality of satanic-cult rituals are part of the narrative in many churches in that area, and the public and perhaps the jury were predisposed to believe them. Yet in three earlier documentaries, "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations" and "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, the case against the accused was systematically demolished.
Prosecutors brought a new suspect onstage. John Mark Byers, the adoptive father of one of the victims, said and did strange things on camera, and supplied the filmmakers with a knife that that tests matched to wounds on the victims' bodies. It was easy to conclude he was the real killer, but in this film, Terry Hobbs, stepfather of another victim, is linked by DNA to a human hair found tightly tied up within a shoelace knot that was used to bind a victim. And the makers of "West Memphis Three" get a call on their "tip line" from a witness who said he overheard conversations linking Hobbs to the killings.
Most of the observers now believe Hobbs is the likely killer. Decide for yourself. He will never be charged, because the state of Arkansas, in a bombshell plea bargain, offered the three prisoners a deal where they would walk free if they went through the formality of pleading guilty, shielding the state from the possibility of later lawsuits. The film argues that the state considered it more important to protect itself than the rights of the defendants.
The West Memphis Three became the kind of case that got people stirred up. Stars like Eddie Vedder, the Dixie Chicks and Johnny Depp raised funds and drew attention. Eventually enough people got involved that five of the principals in "West of Memphis" are now walking free, and quite possibly only four should be.
The new "Ghostbusters" film brings a battle between distorted nostalgia and the power of a child's imagination.

Connecting an old iPod to a new iTunes library
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I have an iPod, probably 4 years old or so. My original PC is sitting in a box, unavailable. I am trying to connect my iPod to a new laptop and get a message providing me with two options: 'Erase and Sync' or 'Transfer Purchases' I'm not sure what to do, as I do not want to lose any songs on my iPod. I installed iTunes on my new laptop but am stuck. Can your recommend the correct next step?
- Sean
A: In this case, the option you actually want is the third one: Cancel. Selecting Cancel will leave your iPod connected to your computer, but iTunes will not attempt to sync anything with it.
If every track you wanted to recover from your iPod was purchased from the iTunes Store, then the Transfer Purchases option could be used to copy your iPod's content back to your computer. Since you likely have content acquired from your own CDs or other sources, this is not usually a viable option.
Fortunately, there are other methods for recovering your content from your iPod back to your computer. Check out our tutorial Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer for more information on how to accomplish this.
